No. 88 Taikoo Heng Road is a large retro-style manor that belongs to the home of Wei Yanwu, the governor of Longmen.
"Welcome, Lord SB."
When Wu Ke was invited to come here, what he received was a grand reception from the owner of the place.
There were guards on both sides of the manor, and Wei Yanwu stood in the middle of the gate, introducing the women around him.
"This is my wife, Wei Wenyue."
"Same last name?"
Wu Ke looked at the couple in front of him curiously.
The relationship between these two people is more like that of brother and sister than husband and wife, just from the perspective of appearance.
"I was born in the Eastern Kingdom. After marrying my husband, I took my husband's surname."
Mrs. Wenyue explained.
"welcome."
Then she expressed her welcome as well.
"I seem to be treated as a distinguished guest. Should I dress more formally?"
Wu Ke looked at his daily attire, a very ordinary gray windbreaker. He always felt a little out of place with the grand reception he was experiencing now.
"Your Excellency SB is indeed a distinguished guest of Longmen. As for dressing as you like, tonight is just my personal banquet to express my gratitude for your contribution to Longmen."
Wei Yanwu said nice things, and this huge change in attitude was because he found something.
It can be said that if you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked. It is based on the news reported by the intelligence personnel on the northern border of Ursus.
In addition to the information confirming that Tallulah was there and indeed doing some practical things, there were also rumors about Captain SB and this person that were widely circulated among the middle and lower class people.
It is trivial for one person to defeat an army. With the guards around him, and with sufficient weapons supplies, it is not impossible to deal with a normal Ursus regular army.
However, some degenerated and some deified stories (actually rumors that were constantly exaggerated by people) made Wei Yanwu cautious.
As a person who stands at the top of this world, he can see many things with his vision.
Among them, there are some myths and stories that are occasionally circulated in this world. Although there is no concrete evidence, Wei Yanwu is sure that some myths and stories are not necessarily people's fictions and delusions.
Whether it’s the fairy tales that once circulated in the Eastern Kingdom, or the deep-sea monsters that existed in the Agor Ocean;
The Almighty God who is devoutly believed in by the Sakta clan of the Lateran people, and the demon king of destruction recorded in the distant history books of the Sakaz clan of the Kazdare people;
Koxiche, who once intended to seize the Dragon Gate, had the faint will of the Black Snake behind him, and the sword of the Red Sky that he controlled contained some thoughts of ancient kings...
All these prove that the world is not that simple, and there are things that even he can't figure out.
Wei Yanwu was not completely sure whether the information about this person that the intelligence officers heard on the northern border of Ursus was true.
But it is always right to treat someone with respect, someone who has not shown hostility towards you, but someone who has shown kindness, or something else.
Wei Yanwu welcomed Wu Ke inside, while Lao Shihuaiya had already arrived and was waiting inside.
There is no cumbersome etiquette of a normal banquet. As Wei Yanwu said, this is just a family banquet of thanks.
However, even the kind of communication at a family banquet is full of politeness.
It's not that Wu Ke doesn't know how to do this kind of communication. In fact, he has seen a lot about the world and the social etiquette of the upper class from Tallulah.
But this does not mean that he is good at or likes this kind of polite communication.
So, after politely eating two bowls of rice and three plates of food, Wu Ke went straight to the topic and talked about the order he had been waiting for half a month.
And this is not a problem. Whether it is Wei Yanwu or York Shihuaiya, both of them are fully prepared.
It only took a few sentences and four or five glasses of wine to purchase the environmental controller at cost price, plus some material assistance provided by Longmen. It was said to be a thank you for his huge contribution to Longmen.
Presented in the form of increased quantity without increasing the price, and one-third more products than the original, this extremely generous order was finalized at the dinner party initiated by Wei Yanwu.
"The next step is to pay the fee, but you have to go to Victoria and Colombia. The main factory of the Environmental Optimization Company of the Swire Group is located there. You need to go there and discuss with the person in charge there the specific method of picking up the goods... …”
The whole process of purchasing environmental controllers was cumbersome. Wu Ke even doubted whether the efficiency of purchasing equipment would be higher if he went to an environmental optimization company from the beginning instead of the Swire Group headquarters.
But then he thought about it, if he hadn't come to the Swire Group, he probably wouldn't have been able to get such a purchase order with extremely favorable conditions.
"The Swire Group will send a special specialist to follow you over there to explain the specific situation. I wonder when you will set off?"
"I still need to deal with the work at hand here in Longmen. It will take about a day. If nothing unexpected happens, I will leave Longmen the day after tomorrow and set off for the Colombia you mentioned."
"So urgent? Then I'll go back and make arrangements now."
York Shihuaiya left in a hurry, and the purchasing matter was over for the time being.
Then, it was Wei Yanwu's turn to tell him to bring a message to Tallulah.
But unlike what Wu Ke thought, Wei Yanwu didn't want to dictate it and ask him to go back and relay it to Tallulah. Instead, he gave him a messenger to deliver the message.
"This is Bai Xue, a ninja from the Eastern Kingdom. She is my wife's personal guard. I have given her the letter I want to send to my niece. I hope you can take her back to the northern border of Ursus.
When she sees Tallulah, she will take out my letters. At the same time, she is also my eyes. When I cannot meet Tallulah in person, I hope she can go and see it for me. How is Tallulah doing now?
With Bai Xue's strength, she can take care of herself and won't be a burden on you on your way back, okay? "
Wei Yanwu asked, and a female ninja with a black scarf on her face and some silence stood beside her.
There are round white ears hidden in the white hair, and a long white tail without a trace of hair is wrapped around the waist like a belt. This is a very capable female ninja.
"Can."
Wu Ke did not refuse and agreed. However, he was a little curious about the situation between Wei Yanwu and Talulah, so he asked this question.
Hearing this, Wei Yanwu was a little silent, and after a while, he replied: "I can tell you here, but I'm not sure whether Tallulah is willing to let you know.
If you want to know, ask her for her opinion when you get back. If she doesn't have any opinion, she should tell you.
You can know everything about this from my letter to her. "
Wu Ke didn't get the answer directly, and he didn't force it. Then, in the eyes of Wei Yanwu and his wife, who were stunned, he began to show the good qualities of a cook who doesn't waste food.
. . . .
"Do you still want this dish? If not, I will eat it?"
"Please use it slowly."
"By the way, don't you want to eat?"
"Well, actually, we're full."
"In that case, I won't be polite."
Ten minutes later, Wu Ke wiped his mouth with a tissue.
A table full of sumptuous meals had been completely eaten by him.
Moreover, Wu Ke did not eat like a wolf, but ate like a normal person, except that he was eating extremely fast, as if he was on an accelerator.
"I wonder if you are full?"
Wei Yanwu asked from the side.
"It's okay."
Wu Ke replied.
"If you are not full, you can ask the kitchen to cook more to satisfy the guests. This is also considered a treat etiquette in Longmen."
Mrs. Wenyue said something.
"Let's forget it. If I want to be full, I'm afraid I'll have to have someone cook another table of food, which is enough for about forty or fifty tables."
Wu Ke touched his belly, calculated his food intake, and politely declined the offer.
Food is not a necessity for him now. He usually replenishes his body's cell energy by basking in the sun.
If he wanted to use the more traditional method of eating to replenish cell energy, then he could eat as much food as hundreds of adult men in one meal.
And if there has been a high-intensity battle before, or a long-distance loaded flight, the problem of energy replenishment caused by this consumption will be even greater.
Sunbathing is a good way to replenish your body, and it is more economical and affordable. After all, sunlight is free.
But if you replace it with food, the amount of food required will reach an astonishing level.
This is what Wu Ke realized during the fast-paced battle on the northern border of Ursus, then flying to change places, and then fighting. In a sense, food power can also be equated with strength. !
In the northern region of Ursus, the sun is not seen all year round. If he does not break through the high-altitude clouds, his superhuman resilience will be limited.
In the fast-paced, high-intensity process of leading his team to mines, Wu Ke once encountered a situation where his body was hollowed out, and the energy provided by the body's cells could not keep up with his own actions, resulting in physical weakness.
I remember that at that time, after laying down a large mine, Wu Ke suddenly found that he could not fly. Only then did he realize that the resilience brought by superhuman physique also has limits and is not omnipotent. His existence has been hollowed out. possible.
At that time, Wu Ke was using eating to quickly replenish his body's energy, and then he realized how much he had to eat.
Under the expressions of some confusion from Wei Yanwu and his wife, Wu Ke briefly introduced some aspects of his body, including ways to replenish body energy and the relationship between food intake and strength.
Wei Yanwu and his wife, Mrs. Wenyue, slowly opened their mouths, their eyelids twitched and the corners of their eyes twitched.
Is this an admission of truth? If this guy was still a human being, Wei Yanwu would dare to chop off his own head and use it as a chamber pot.
. . . .
Under the awkward but polite smiles of Wei Yanwu and his wife, Wu Ke said goodbye to the two of them and left the large, elegant and simple manor that covered a large area.
only……
"By the way, Miss Ninja, we are leaving only the day after tomorrow. What do you mean by following me now?"
Wu Ke looked at Bai Xue who was following him and asked.
"Mission accepted. Madam, and Lord Wei Yanwu, want me to follow you to the northern border of Ursus to meet Miss Tallulah..."
Bai Xue's tone of voice was choppy, a bit like a stereotypical robot, but the meaning he expressed was very clear.
She was on a ninja mission and had to stay with her until she saw Tallulah.
I guess, probably... this ninja lady named Shirayuki also accepted the task of observing him, right?
"Okay, follow if you like."
Wu Ke scratched his head and felt that it didn't matter if he followed someone, but he still gave a kind reminder.
"However, I am the kind of person who rarely rests. If you plan to follow me all the time, you must pay attention to your rest time, so as not to tire yourself out without Tallulah seeing you."
Wu Ke is telling the truth. He is the typical type who can be active for many days without rest or sleep after just two hours in the sun.
If 996 is the working hours of a blessed person, then he sometimes voluntarily works overtime as 007 to maintain the rocket of love and justice in the world... well, to put it bluntly, he is the messenger of justice.
If it weren't for the fact that the territory he manages is too large and he has to meddle in too many aspects, even if he is given a Gotham City full of outstanding people in the movie.
During the time he came to this world, it was probably enough for him to purify the Gotham City in the movie into a city where justice and fairness are in the hearts of every citizen.
After all, unlike the traditional Batman and Superman, this SB does not mind staining his hands with blood and physically destroying villains if necessary.
Bai Xue: "..."
The ninja girl suddenly felt that her master wanted her to follow the target of observation, and seemed to like to boast.
It's okay to eat forty or fifty tables of food to be full, but this person actually wants to compete with himself, a professionally trained ninja, for endurance during exercise?
Maybe, this is the fearlessness of those who don’t know!
A real ninja is one who can use the fragmented time to rest, so as to track or protect people for a long time.
Although she was not the kind of ninja who was extremely good at endurance, she was able to maintain the best fighting condition for a week or two without formal sleep rest.
. . . .
The next day, Miss Bai Xue, who had been taken around the city all night before returning from the outskirts of the city, followed Wu Ke back to the Swire Group hotel.
[That’s it, that’s it, just not sleeping all night? 】
There was no fluctuation in Bai Xue's heart, and she even wanted to laugh a little, but none of this showed on her cold expression.
Last night, Wu Ke continued to clean up the remaining evil forces in the slums that had slipped through the net. He had been doing this for the past half month, and it was a meticulous job.
