Chapter 12 Kamen Rider looking for a job
"Auntie, I want two bowls of three-prawn noodles, with more green onions and more coriander."
Meng Xiangjun walked into the store and ordered two bowls of noodles without looking at the menu.
Gao Chen added unceremoniously: "One bowl with spicy food, meat and eggs."
"You are so rude." Meng Xiangjun took out a red wallet from his pocket, took out two bills and handed them to the proprietress: "Auntie, add an egg to the bowl that is not spicy."
This noodle shop has been open for many years, and many people in this community grew up eating it.
The proprietress naturally recognized the regular customers and said enthusiastically: "Okay, you two find a seat first, the noodles are ready to be cooked."
Mengxiangjun chose a table outside the door. It was raining, and the extended cloth shed blocked the rain, drawing a dark and clear line on the ground.
Gao Chen opened the stool outside, sat down and continued drinking yogurt in silence.
"tasty?"
Opposite me, the girl asked gently.
"not bad."
Gao Chen took the last sip and put the glass bottle at his feet: "Thank you for inviting me to breakfast."
"If you insist on running in the morning every day from now on, then you will have breakfast every day." When Meng Xiangjun said this, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, and added: "If you insist on running in the morning before the assessment, I can treat you to breakfast."
The noodles were served quickly. Before moving his chopsticks, Meng Xiangjun couldn't help but ask: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, when did your physical fitness get so good?"
Gao Chen picked up the eggs in the bowl, took a bite, and said, "Secret."
"Humph, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."
Meng Xiangjun snorted coldly and turned his head away proudly.
Although she said she didn't want to know, her eyes were honestly looking at the young man in front of her who was eating noodles with his head down. His facial features were straight and angular, his complexion was dark and pale, and he still gave people the impression of a weak kidney. Feel.
I never thought that Gao Chen's physical fitness could be so long-lasting. The endurance he showed during the morning jog earlier was probably not even comparable to that of the track and field team, right?
Always feeling like he was being stared at, Gao Chen raised his head and happened to catch those beautiful eyes. His gaze moved to her bowl of noodles: "Don't you want to eat it?"
Meng Xiangjun looked at the noodles that he had not used his chopsticks, and then at Gao Chen's empty bowl. He had even finished the soup. Can someone in good health eat like this? She asked weakly: "How about you eat mine too..."
Gao Chen picked up another bowl without politeness. He felt very hungry since running. This may be a precursor to an increase in numerical attributes.
Sure enough, when he finished his second bowl of noodles, a message popped up in his consciousness: Physical fitness +1.
[Physical fitness]: 011/200
It is added directly to the numerical value rather than the attribute points.
It seems easy to improve. If you follow this speed, it shouldn't be difficult to reach fifty points before the assessment, right?
"Boss lady, this is Lao Lei's newspaper."
The older generation will have the habit of subscribing to newspapers.
In front of the store, a newspaper deliveryman on a bicycle dropped a roll of newspapers on the table.
"Why is it so late today?"
The boss's wife picked up the newspaper and said, "My boss has gone to work."
"That kind of thing happened yesterday. Who knows if there will be bugs again during the day, so I didn't dare to go out too early."
The newspaper deliveryman replied, then drove off in a hurry to see the next family off.
Gao Chen looked at the morning newspaper in the landlady's hand and asked, "Auntie, can you show it to me?"
There is no TV at home, and he didn't pay much attention to the news at Meng's house yesterday. Gao Chen didn't know how the radio stations and newspapers evaluated him now.
"Here, just put it on the table after you finish reading."
The landlady handed it over generously.
Mr. Mengxiang also came closer and read the headline: "The Kamen Rider fell from the sky and saved Beiqiao Street?"
Yesterday, or should be said, the biggest thing in the Dragon Kingdom this whole year happened yesterday. Zerg appeared for the first time in the daytime, and a private Kamen Rider wiped it out. These two incidents, no matter which one is taken separately, are sensational events across the country.
"Isn't this the Kamen Rider who appeared outside our school yesterday?" Gao Chen said deliberately.
"Well, that's him." Meng Xiangjun said, "It's a pity that you left early yesterday and didn't see the whole process."
Thinking back to the Kamen Rider who suddenly appeared, Meng's mind was still full of the analysis report she had stayed up late last night. She searched for almost all the information about Kamen Rider that could be found at home and abroad, but she couldn't find any. A prototype similar to this Kamen Rider.
"How to say?"
Gao Chen suddenly became interested. He wanted to know what the people thought of 'vigilantes'.
Although there are interviews with people in newspapers, most of them are very official, as if someone has deliberately arranged them, and the content is naturally about boycotting 'vigilantes', as such behavior is illegal.
"Your cultural score is so poor, can you understand what I said?" Meng Xiangjun said this without thinking, and said it naturally.
She quickly realized that this was too rude, and was afraid of hurting Gao Chen: "Well... I'm not calling you stupid, but it's very complicated to explain clearly, and I can't explain it clearly at my current level."
"Anyway, you just know that he is better than the fittest people stationed on our streets."
Gao Chen nodded without saying anything and looked back at the newspaper. A line of bold text caught his attention.
The foundation has launched an investigation into the unidentified Kamen Rider, and the top authorities are also attaching great importance to it, hoping to catch him as soon as possible!
...
After a week of morning running and other training.
Physical fitness and explosive values have been improved.
[Physical fitness]: 015/200
[Outbreak]: 012/200
[Power]: 010/200
The total physical fitness and explosiveness increased by 6, but the strength did not change at all. Gao Chen thought this might be the reason why he did not conduct strength training.
Mainly, there is no gym near the community.
There is a gym in the street built for the purpose of training the fittest, but it requires a monthly pass, which he cannot afford given his current financial situation.
In addition, I also found that the further you get to the back, the slower the numerical improvement becomes. Originally, the plan to complete one running volume could increase by 1, but it has only increased by 1 in the last three days, and the training volume is even twice as much as before.
There seems to be little hope of raising physical fitness to 50 before the assessment, but it should still be possible to raise it to 40.
On this day, Gao Chen returned home after a day of training.
He took out the key and was about to open the door when a slightly bloated figure walked out of the darkness.
boom--
A fierce straight punch was thrown out, and Gao Chen heard the shadow shout: "Fuck, don't do it!"
Fatty Wang was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. He touched his nose with lingering fear and said, "You're so scared that you killed me. Fortunately, you didn't hit me, otherwise my nose would have been broken."
"Why are you here?"
Gao Chen was speechless, opened the door and walked in.
Wang Gangming followed and closed the door: "I should ask you first. Didn't we agree to go to Guangnan together before? After we separated that day, you never came to see me. If I hadn't listened to Li Zhang After all, I didn’t even know you had other plans!”
Yesterday, Fatty Wang, who met Li Zhang by chance, heard that Gao Chen was going to take the co-police assessment. For a moment, he felt like he had been deceived by his good brother.
"Well, take part in the police co-operation assessment." Gao Chen said.
"Okay, it turns out what Li Zhang said is true." Fatty Wang pretended to be angry: "You are indeed a guy who forgets his friends when he sees sex, and you can abandon your brothers for a woman!"
"..."
Gao Chen didn't know how to explain it to his friend, so he decided not to explain it.
Wang Gangming lay down on the sofa and said, "Brother, I'm not telling you. With your physique, do you think you can be shortlisted for the big list?"
Fatty didn't object to Gao Chen doing this, but he felt that Gao Chen was wasting his time.
Whether it is repeating the exam or taking the police assistant assessment, the competition is very fierce. Every year, millions of people squeeze their heads in the hope of passing the exam or being selected.
Based on his understanding of his brother, even if he really worked hard and his talent and upper limit were there, he would only have a sense of participation in the end.
"You might as well go to Guangnan with me." Fatty Wang said, "Whether it's a repeat exam or a police co-examination, you have no hope. Brother, I just don't want you to waste your time."
"However, if you really want to give it a try, then I will wait for you until September. If you fail by then..."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Chen said: "Even if I lose the election, I will not go to Guangnan. Besides, I think it is impossible for me to lose the election. I am fully confident in this assessment."
Gao Chen didn't know what the physical fitness level of the fittest people was.
However, after these days of research, it was discovered that the physical fitness, strength, and explosiveness of those ordinary fitness people have reached subhuman levels.
In other words, even if his current physical fitness reaches Kipchoge's level, it is difficult to compare with ordinary fit people.
But the competitors taking part in the assessment are not the fittest, and this is not an assessment for the fittest, but an assessment for the police assistants.
Therefore, Gao Chen was 100% sure of completing the assessment.
Fatty Wang didn't pay attention to these words and said: "It's useless to say more now. Let's wait for the assessment results in September."
"You came to me just to talk about this?" Gao Chen asked.
"of course not."
Fatty Wang said: "I want you to go find a summer job with me. There are still more than a month left, so you can't stay at home all the time, right? Besides, is the subsidy from the school enough for you to use for the assessment?"
Gao Chen is now a graduate and has no job. When he was in school, most of the cost of books and materials were paid for by the school's subsidies, and part of it was his parents' pension.
The pension is managed by the street, and Gao Chen is given a thousand yuan in living expenses every month.
If the money had been put aside, it would have been enough. Gao Chen stayed online every day, and the all-night Internet fee was 5 yuan. During this period, he consumed two barrels of instant noodles for 5 yuan, and a bottle of Master Kong mineral water for 2 yuan. He slept in school during the day without spending any money. Therefore, it doesn’t cost much at all in a month.
But now that the amount of training is greater, the appetite must be greater, and if you want to improve your strength, you must go to the gym for strength training.
After thinking about it, Gao Chen pulled the fat man up and said, "Let's go find a job."
...
The streets were empty. Except for the training soldiers who could be seen everywhere, there were no pedestrians, and there were only a few operating buses. Although it had been many days since the last insect disaster occurred during the day, and it had not happened again during the period, it seemed that everyone The nerves are always tense.
A severe insect infestation has a huge impact on a region or even the whole country. Not only are people's lives threatened, but the panic caused by the insect infestation also causes a sharp decrease in passenger flow, causing a huge blow to the social economy.
Gao Chen and Wang Gangming searched all the commercial streets in the old city. There were only a few shops that still had the courage to open stores and they were no longer recruiting new employees.
"How about we go back?" Wang Gangming looked at the time and said, "It will be dark in two hours."
"You go back first, and I'll take a look around a few more times."
"Since you said so, I'll go back first."
The two walked out of the commercial street, and Gao Chen waved goodbye to Fatty Wang.
He came out this time not just to find a job, but also to try his luck to see if he could encounter an insect infestation.
It had been seven days since the last time I killed the bugs. It was definitely not enough to improve the various values through training. If I could get attribute points by killing the bugs, I would definitely be able to improve much faster.
At the intersection of Commercial Street, Gao Chen looked left and right. From the corner of his eye, he saw a small alley on the roadside. There was a sign hanging at the entrance. It was not very conspicuous. When he got closer, he saw that it was a signboard. It looked very new and said ' Luo's private restaurant'.
It should be a new store, maybe still recruiting new ones.
Gao Chen walked along the small alley. Most of the buildings on both sides were dilapidated, and there were many private wires hanging between the buildings. Some were no longer in use, and some were still in use. They were intertwined with each other and woven into a giant network. Years of garbage.
Along this dim alley, Gao Chen walked all the way to the end. His vision suddenly opened up. A courtyard surrounded by four seven-story buildings appeared in front of him. Looking up, he could see the crimson color of the sunset gradually dimming, facing the small Outside the alley's gate, a wooden signboard for a restaurant hangs.
"Hidden so deeply..."
Gao Chen looked back at the way he came and found that it was pitch black at the end and couldn't see anything.
Approaching the sign in front of the door, there is a metal sign nailed below: "Champion of the 19th Chef Competition of Dragon Country, National Banquet Level Chef."
After reciting this sentence silently in his heart, Gao Chen was a little stunned.
Immediately, he raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.
However, before his hand landed on the door panel, there were footsteps inside.
Click——
The door opened and a man came out.
"Sorry, you go first."
Gao Chen took a step back and looked at the man. The other party was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a pair of black sunglasses. He didn't look like a diner at all.
Moreover, the more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes.
As his thoughts rolled around, Gao Chen recognized this man.
Dai Ming.
The able-bodied people are stationed in Beiqiao Street.
The Kamen Rider whose performance was taken away by him that day.
Why is this guy here? Could it be that you are here for dinner?
The other party seemed to notice his gaze, but he only glanced at him coldly, and then hurriedly left from the alley.
"Excuse me, are you here for dinner?"
At this time, a voice from behind pulled Gao Chen back.
Turning around, a tall woman suddenly appeared, wearing a white dress, with a delicate and cold face, as if her whole person was filled with fairy spirit, and she walked without any movement.
Gao Chen came back to his senses and said, "No, I'm here to find a job."
The woman glanced over his shoulder, glanced at the alley behind her, and said, "Since you are looking for a job, let's come in and talk. It just so happens that this is a new store and I still need some manpower."
After saying that, the woman seemed to be filled with fairy spirit and walked into the store alone.
...
