Chapter 24 Hero or Criminal
Go back to Lane 4, No. 38, Nanshan Road, and ride the motorcycle back to the restaurant.
The journey went smoothly, except that the road conditions were much more congested than usual.
Because there are a lot of police officers on the street who are stopping and checking.
But they were all avoided by Gao Chen's detour.
"Where did he go?"
As soon as Gao Chen took off his helmet, a beautiful cold face came into view.
Luo Ning leaned against the door, with a bunch of keys hanging between her green-white fingers. She glanced at Gao Chen indifferently, then walked over with leather boots and said, "You are running around on your first day at work today. How can I trust you in the future?" Keep working in the store.”
"I came back earlier, but I didn't see the restaurant open." Gao Chen said, "I thought you had something to do and didn't have time to tell me, so I went back home first."
ZERO NOE should be this woman.
Gao Chen was not sure in his heart, and it depends on the other party's answer.
"Yes." Luo Ning nodded lightly and said, "I had something urgent to do and left before I had time to tell you. This is my problem, but you can't just leave your post without permission."
"I see."
Now, Gao Chen is basically certain that his female boss is the ZERO NOE in front of her.
"Okay." Luo Ning said as she walked towards the parking garage: "Leave your phone number with me. If I have something to do and I'm not in the store, I will notify you."
"Uh..." Gao Chen smiled and said, "Boss, I don't have a mobile phone."
"Oh, I almost forgot, you just graduated from high school."
Luo Ning turned around, pondered for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow I will help you buy a mobile phone as a gift to you for your daily work use."
"thank you boss."
Gao Chen was a little surprised that the boss was so generous.
The price of a mobile phone these days is between 500 and 1,000, which is still quite expensive for a family whose average salary is less than 1,000.
But the boss just gave it away when he said it would be given away. She really deserves to be a rich woman!
"You're welcome." Luo Ning opened the garage and said: "We are temporarily closed today. I have something to do and I have to go out. You can ride this motorcycle home so that you can come to work tomorrow. As for the gas expenses, Then you ask the gas station to issue a receipt and come back to me for reimbursement."
"..."
He also avoided police inquiries on the way and returned home smoothly.
Opening the door and entering the house, Gao Chen opened the consciousness page.
[Available attributes]: 10
[Suitable Level]: 003/200
[Features]: Knight reading card, combat data analysis (new)
After this battle, the available attributes increased by 10.
The level has been improved by one level.
New feature: Combat data analysis?
Gao Chen noticed this special gadget and immediately opened the introduction.
'Combat data analysis'
'Can be used to analyze the opponent's attack method during battle'
'Tricks are revealed'
It looks very powerful.
But in this world, both Zergs and Kamen Riders are like dogs. He doesn't need to analyze it at all. He just takes him away on the spot with a few cuts or a knight kick...
In the face of absolute strength, too much analysis seems cumbersome.
'This feature can be applied to any form of Kamen Rider, as well as the untransformed state of the fittest person'
"In other words, I can use this feature without transforming now?"
Gao Chen thought about it, "It seems to be really useful. I might be able to use it when I become a co-op in the future."
Except for the new features that are worthy of attention, there is not much else.
Of the 10 attributes, Gao Chen decided to add them all to strength.
After all, Gao Chen has not done strength training so far. In the next week, until he has paid his salary and has the money to go to the training gym, his strength values may not change.
Therefore, in order to achieve a slight balance between the three values, it is more appropriate to add all attributes to the strength slot.
Now, the three values have changed from the beginning.
[Physical fitness]: 015/200
[Outbreak]: 012/200
[Power]: 020/200
The improvement brought about by a week of hard training is actually not as much as the attributes gained by one battle.
Gao Chen felt that it was necessary to deal with more insect pests in the coming time.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a knock on the door without warning.
Could it be that the foundation found his home?
Gao Chen was startled, walked towards the door, and looked out through the peephole.
As a result, the cat's eyes were covered from the outside and became completely dark.
"Hey kid, you're quite alert."
Meng Fangming, who was standing outside the door, removed the finger blocking the cat's eye and said, "Stop looking, I am your Uncle Meng."
A false alarm.
Gao Chen opened the door and said, "Uncle Meng, what do you want from me?"
"Have you seen Jun'er?" Meng Fangming had just returned from the Knight Foundation, but saw that his daughter was not at home: "This girl ran out at some point and didn't even answer the phone."
"Maybe you went out to play with friends?"
Gao Chen's journey from Nanshan Road to the restaurant and back home took almost twenty minutes.
It might be almost time for Meng Xiangjun to arrive.
"Really, running around at this time." Meng Fangming was worried that her daughter would run to Nanshan Road to join in the fun. An insect infestation just occurred there. Although it has been resolved and patrols have been stepped up, it is still difficult to say that it is really safe.
"It's not peaceful recently. When I came back just now, I heard that there was another insect plague nearby, and two Kamen Riders even fought over it." Gao Chen showed a worried look and said, "Is this true or false? ?”
"The real thing, the news has been broadcast." Meng Fangming said: "Our police station is currently investigating the guy who attacked the official knight——"
"Jingle Bell......"
Just as he was mid-sentence, Meng Fangming's cell phone rang in his pocket.
"Let's talk later. This girl Meng Xiangjun has called back."
Less than a minute later, Meng Fangming hung up, raised his head and said to Gao Chen: "She said she was on her way back. What I just said, the guy who attacked the official knight was the folk knight last week, and he also Official fitter's drive snatched."
"The drive was snatched away?" Gao Chen looked shocked, frowning and said seriously: "Then this is a serious matter, Uncle Meng, didn't you arrest anyone?"
"Haha, boy, you have to find someone to arrest someone." Meng Fangming smiled, patted Gao Chen on the shoulder and said, "Our police station has arranged a large number of police officers to conduct door-to-door carpet searches. As long as This guy is still in Qinggang City, so he can't escape, and we can get this drive back."
Gao Chen grinned and said, "It's a pity that I haven't become a co-police officer yet, otherwise I could go on missions with you."
"Speaking of which, I want to ask you, how are you preparing for the recent assessment?" Meng Fangming said: "Don't worry about how chaotic the world is now, just do your own thing. Do you understand?"
Gao Chen said: "I am currently doing physical training every day, and Meng is also supervising my training. I will definitely be shortlisted for the police assistance assessment in more than a month."
"Okay, I'm very happy to hear you say that." Meng Fangming said, and suddenly sighed: "If your parents were still alive, they could see you working so hard to become a fitness student." Or, they will also be very pleased..."
Gao Chen's parents died early in his previous life, and the same is true in this life. Both of them have been police officers for their entire lives, and they often left after accidents occurred while on duty. In this regard, Gao Chen didn't have much emotion when he was a boy. He didn't work harder because of the death of his parents. He even felt that God was treating him unfairly and took his parents away, so he began to degenerate, skipping classes and fighting. Fighting, it was not until he entered society later and suffered countless setbacks. Looking back at the first twenty years of his life, he realized how stupid he was at that time.
"I will make them proud of me." There was no emotion in Gao Chen's eyes, but he hid this determination deep in his heart.
Since the Dragon Kingdom's knight system has deteriorated to this extent, then one person needs to stand up and change everything, and he must be that hero and reverse the Dragon Kingdom's knight system.
Meng Fangming patted his shoulder silently and said, "Don't think so much. Your Aunt Meng made chicken soup and we'll have dinner together later."
"okay."
Gao Chen nodded, turned around and went home. The moment he closed the door, he took out the armored insect instrument from his pocket: "I'm sorry, Uncle Meng."
...
The soup base of the chicken soup is clear, but it has an alluring aroma.
Aunt Meng's cooking skills are very good, Gao Chen could smell it when he first walked in the door.
"Jun'er, go to the convenience store downstairs and buy two bottles of drinks."
In the living room, Meng Fangming took out two bills and said.
Meng Xiangjun took the ticket, smacked his lips and said, "Why don't you let Gao Chen buy it?"
"Then let me go."
With that said, Gao Chen was about to turn around.
"Don't listen to her nonsense."
Meng Fangming glared at his daughter: "Hurry up and buy one, one bottle with ice and one bottle with room temperature."
Then he said to Gao Chen: "Come and sit down. Your Aunt Meng said there is one more dish and we can start dinner."
The TV was playing the news, and there were many students blocking the entrance to the foundation. The title was that middle and high school students in Qinggang City were dissatisfied with the investigation work of the Knight Foundation. They felt that the wanted order against the Folk Knights should be withdrawn. They believed that the Folk Knights were the only ones who He is the hero who truly saved the people.
Li Xunde, who is in charge of the investigation team and is also the leader of the combat team, said that children of this age have not yet fully developed their cognition and do not have a deep understanding of the things in front of them, which is why such ideological deviations occur. Like this folk knight’s behavior, I think he seriously harmed the social environment...
"Uncle Meng, what do you think?" Gao Chen suddenly asked: "What do you think of these students?"
"Don't ask me first, ask yourself." Meng Fangming said: "You are also a student now. Do you think his behavior can be regarded as a hero?"
Gao Chen was silent.
He is the folk knight.
And he didn't know the answer to this question.
"Think about it, kid." Meng Fangming stood up and said, "I'm going to help Aunt Meng see if there's anything I can do to help."
When Uncle Meng walked into the kitchen, Gao Chen took out the drive, looked around the living room, and finally focused on a door.
That was the study room, which used to be the room where Uncle Meng worked. Ever since Meng Xiangjun was in his third year of high school, this room had been given to her. The main reason is that the network cable is connected there and there is a computer, which is convenient for checking information while studying.
Gao Chen glanced at the kitchen, stood up and walked to the study door. He tried to twist the doorknob. It was not locked. He pushed the door open and walked in.
There is a computer desk in front of the door, and a four-frame high bookcase on the left.
Looking around, Gao Chen placed his eyes on the bookcase. This kind of bookcase has a very common design. When raised, there is a few centimeters of space at the bottom, which is just right for putting the insect instrument.
Lifting the bookcase to put it in was difficult for ordinary people to do alone, but Gao Chen just got a strength attribute of 10 and easily lifted it up with one hand and put the insect meter directly in.
After the inspection incident was over, he would take the insect meter back.
"Pa bang..."
After hiding the insect instrument, Gao Chen patted the dust on his palms.
Then he turned around and opened the door. Just as he raised his legs to take a step, he was startled by the delicate face in front of him. He saw Mr. Meng standing quietly at the door of the study with his hands on his hips and a broad mind.
"I was shocked." Gao Chen covered his heart and said, "Didn't you go buy a drink?"
"It's only been a few minutes since I came downstairs." Meng Xiangjun tilted his head and glanced at the room, squinting, with a scrutinizing look on his face: "It's you, what are you doing in my study?"
"Is this your study room? Sorry, I don't know." Gao Chen pretended to be innocent and said, "I just wanted to check some training materials, and then I wanted to borrow your computer."
Hearing this, Meng Xiangjun's eyes softened a lot, and she said, "Has the investigation been completed?"
"Finished."
"Then come out to eat."
"okay."
After Meng Xiangjun waited for Gao Chen to come out, he poked his head around the room, then closed the door and followed to the restaurant.
...
July.
14th.
Luo's Restaurant.
"Recently, the investigation by the Qinggang Knights Foundation is still ongoing."
"But there has been no progress so far, and the folk knight has not appeared again. Some experts believe that the appearance of this folk knight may be related to the insect plague during the day..."
Gao Chen was sitting in the dining hall, watching the news on the TV.
The work of the food delivery rider has been going on for a week.
During this period, he kept a very low profile.
The police department and special teams have taken turns searching the entire Beiqiao streets.
His family was also investigated, but the Meng family was not.
And this investigation storm is far from over. On the contrary, because nothing has been found, more and more people are paying attention to it, and even many international media have begun to report it.
"Order No. 42 is ready."
At the front desk, a sweet-looking girl who was about seventeen years old spoke in a low voice to Gao Chen, who was watching TV.
"Gao Chen, my girl asked you to deliver the order quickly, do you hear me?"
Wang Gangming threw a rag into Gao Chen's face and said, "Don't stare at these news all day long. No matter how much you read, it won't have much to do with you."
Gao Chen put aside the rag and said, "Have you just rubbed chili oil on it? Why are your eyes so smokey..."
He was the one who called Fatty Wang.
Due to the shortage of manpower, Luo Ning arranged a waiter job for Fatty.
"When did she call me?"
Gao Chen turned to look at the girl behind the front desk. She was the new colleague Luo Ning mentioned last time. Her name was Qing Mo. She was 17 years old and was responsible for the front desk cashier and telephone order taking.
It's also strange. This girl is tall, 1.7 meters tall, but has a completely opposite personality. She is usually taciturn and always wears a peaked cap to cover her beautiful face.
When talking to her, he always looked at the ground and never took the initiative to communicate with others, as if he was isolating himself.
What's even more strange is that Luo Ning actually recruited such a person to cashier.
Many times, because he is not good at communication, Gao Chen has to step in to deal with troublesome guests.
"She called you twice." Fatty Wang probably thought the girl's voice was too soft, so he said, "Can you please speak louder next time?"
"You have a loud voice, don't scare people."
Gao Chen threw the rag to the fat man and walked to the front desk. Qing Mo silently handed over the lunch box for delivery and pointed to the address on it without saying a word.
Gao Chen glanced and saw that the location was not far away: "Okay, I got it. I'll go deliver it now."
This trip is not far away, it only took ten minutes to get back.
When we returned to the store, it was already past the peak ordering period and almost closed for get off work.
Usually, the restaurant closes at four o'clock every day. This is because it is more dangerous at night. Luo Ning set this time for their safety.
Luo Ning came down from upstairs with three yellow envelopes in her hand.
"The wages have been paid."
With that said, Luo Ning handed the envelope to the three of them.
Gao Chen didn't forget the weekly salary summary. He took the envelope and put it in his pocket.
"Finally the wages are paid!"
Fatty Wang took it, put his arm on Gao Chen's shoulders and said, "Are you going to stay up all night tonight? Go before the curfew, and then go home and take a shower at dawn."
"No, I have to go to work tomorrow." Gao Chen refused.
He wanted to use the money to get a gym room card, but after understanding it, it seemed that there were no gyms in this world, only training halls.
It is a training place specially provided for those who are fit or those who want to become fit. The cost is much more expensive than the gym in the previous life.
If I want to go to the training hall, I will definitely have to take a few hours off in the afternoon. I don’t know if my boss will agree to it.
Luo Ning was settling accounts at the front desk, while Qing Mo was helping with a calculator.
Gao Chen walked over and asked, "Boss, I would like to take two hours off tomorrow afternoon."
"I have a half-day holiday tomorrow. I forgot to tell you." Luo Ning continued without looking up: "We will open tomorrow morning. You and Qing Mo will go out to buy ingredients at noon. I will not be in the store in the afternoon, so you can rest at home for half a day."
The kitchen of Luo's Restaurant is only allowed to have one chef, so if the boss is away, there is no way to continue the business.
"real?"
Fatty Wang had the biggest reaction and cheered: "Boss, you are so great!"
...
The cost of the training center is very high. Gao Chen doesn't know exactly how much it is.
On the way home, Gao Chen wondered if Fatty Wang could help fund some if it wasn't enough.
"Although I know that you have no hope of being shortlisted, as a brother, if you don't have enough money, I can still support you."
Wang Gangming sat in the back seat and said with his hands on the motorcycle bench.
"Thank you." Gao Chen said.
"Thank you so much, we are brothers, thank you so much." Wang Gangming suddenly put his arms around Gao Chen's waist and said, "If you have to thank me, hehe..."
"Ahhh!"
"Why are you elbowing me? It's just a joke. As for..."
"..."
