Chapter 334 Fish and Humans
After Hodel left, Justin stood in front of the window. The sunlight fell on his face, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Chen Cheng.
Then Justin seemed to have figured something out. He opened the door and left quickly.
"Teacher, I won't leave. I have decided to accept the Governor's recruitment."
Justin found his teacher and knelt down to speak to him.
Hodel helped Justin up. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.
"Then you won't even go back and tell your father?"
Justin shook his head and said:
"Since I have decided to stay, I will be a member of the army from now on. My departure requires the consent of the Governor-General."
"If I can't go back, please tell my father that I will make great achievements on the battlefield and will not bring shame to the reputation of the Moores family."
"Well, now that you have found your next path, the teacher can only give you a blessing."
Hodel patted Justin on the shoulder at last, and then told the contestants who had come to the Governor's Mansion to prepare to leave.
When Justin packed his luggage and came to the Governor's Mansion, he saw several familiar faces here.
For example, Namutar and Chen Cheng, to whom he had already pledged allegiance.
Mutar came here just like him, accepted Moduonik's recruitment, and prepared to join the military of the Western Province.
Chen Cheng came here to answer the mysterious reward that Moduonik had given him before.
Originally, with Chen Cheng's life-saving character, he would never take such a risk to participate in any ancient ruins exploration. However, as a scientific researcher, his thirst for knowledge urged him to find out and see the brilliant magical civilization that existed in ancient times.
At this time, Chen Cheng and Justin acted as if nothing had happened, and they just nodded to each other as a courtesy when they met.
At this time, Mutar was very familiar with Chen Cheng's shoulder with one hand and Justin's shoulder with the other.
"How come you two also agreed to the Governor's recruitment? From now on, we will be comrades-in-arms. However, judging from the previous battles in the arena, you, the Great Sage, may be our captain or something in the future."
Mutar was also very smart. When Chen Cheng greeted him just now, he could tell from Chen Cheng's voice that Chen Cheng was the Monkey King.
Chen Cheng shook off the hand on his shoulder, then said with a fake smile:
"I'm sorry, I'm here to answer the Governor's question about the mysterious reward. Please wait outside."
As he spoke, Chen Cheng was invited in by the servants of the Governor's Mansion.
At this time, Mo Duonik was still sitting in the pavilion in the yard. He was feeding the koi in the pond under the pavilion with a handful of fish food.
Moduonik scattered fish food and kept making calling sounds with his mouth.
When he saw Chen Cheng coming, he smiled and said:
"Come and see how my koi are. I personally feed them. They are so fat and live much better than those small fish in rivers and lakes."
Chen Cheng didn't know what the governor meant by saying this. Was he trying to point something at him?
Chen Cheng’s best response to this was silence.
After Mo Duonik fed half a handful of fish food, he saw that Chen Cheng remained silent, so he smiled and said:
"Don't be so reserved. There is no governor here right now. You can say whatever you want to say."
Chen Cheng looked up at Mo Duonik, and then said:
"You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of a fish?"
Chen Cheng didn't want to debate anything on this trivial matter, so he just came up with this panacea answer.
Anyway, they are not fish, so who knows whether the fish is really happy.
The hidden meaning is to tell Mo Duonik that Governor, we are not fish and it is pointless to argue with each other, so let's get to the point.
However, Mo Duonik was aroused by his words, and then he sighed while looking at the koi swimming in the pond:
"Yes, I am not a fish, how can I know whether these fish are happy or not? Perhaps they can live freely in the rivers, this is the real happiness."
Chen Cheng didn't expect Mo Duonik to be so emotional. Then he looked at the fat koi swimming happily in the pond and said with some embarrassment on his face:
"Governor, I think we should just forget it."
"What do you mean?"
Mo Duonik couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The students said that we should forget about releasing the koi back into the river. I see that they have lived in this pond since they were young, and they eat the fine fish food provided by the Governor's Office.
If they are released back into the river, not to mention whether they can adapt to the waves and water quality of the river, they will probably starve to death in a few days if they are used to eating and being fed. "
Chen Cheng didn't know why he said such a thing. Perhaps he really didn't want these beautiful koi to die because of his words that were just echoed by others.
However, Mo Duonik laughed out loud after hearing this:
"As expected of the champion of this competition, not only is he extremely powerful, he also has a unique wisdom in looking at things.
It seems that the champion I chose this time is not a reckless man who only cares about strength."
Then Mo Duonik put down the fish food in his hand, came to sit in front of Chen Cheng and said:
"Don't worry, I've taken good care of these koi, there's no way I'd release them back into the river.
Just as you said, "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?" Maybe they like living in my little pond.
After saying this, Mo Duonik burst into laughter again.
Chen Cheng could only scratch his head, because this was a philosophical question, and such questions often had no answer in the end.
"Okay, now that Yu has said so much, have you come to me and made up your mind?"
Chen Cheng nodded solemnly and said:
"Your Excellency the Governor, I have decided to introduce this mysterious reward."
After hearing this, Mo Duonik stood up, smiled, patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder and said:
"Very good, you are very brave. I can't promise you anything else. The only thing I can promise you is that as long as I am here in the ruins, I will definitely block any danger that can be blocked for you."
Although Mo Duonik's words of being able to block it were very subtle, it was extremely rare to get his guarantee.
Mo Duonik turned his wrist and a special token appeared in his hand.
He handed the token to Chen Cheng and said:
"Take this token. Three months later, you can join the exploration team with this token."
Then Mo Duonik smiled again and said:
"As for how to get to the ruins, you can just follow your Lord Earl."
Chen Cheng didn't look at the token carefully and put it directly into his space bag.
After Mo Duonik distributed the tokens, he picked up the fish food beside him and said with a smile:
"Would you like to feed me?"
Chen Cheng waved his hand and said:
"I'm not used to feeding fish. I prefer to fish and fork them and grill them."
This reminded Chen Cheng of the days when he followed Samlett to catch fish in the mountains.
Seeing this, Mo Duonik waved his hands and said:
"No, I still have to keep these fish."
At this time, Chen Cheng also stood up and left.
Only after leaving the Governor's Mansion did Chen Cheng breathe a sigh of relief.
Somehow, just now, regarding this fish, it seemed like there was something going on between him and Modognick, yet it also seemed like nothing was going on.
After thinking about it, Chen Cheng, who couldn't figure it out, just said hello to Justin and the other two outside and left.
After Chen Cheng left, Mo Duonik also put away the fish food in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he finally smiled and said:
"You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of fish? This is really an interesting little guy."
Then he said to the people in the palace:
"Please invite the two young geniuses waiting outside to my study."
There was no one in sight, only a single voice of response was heard.
