It takes more than two hours to install the tank equipment, and another hour to replenish armor plates and artillery shells. After three hours, the day has basically passed.
"Let's go and visit the boy's house that Daniel mentioned."
After leaving the chariot equipment store, Ma Tao and Su Lanxi realized that it was still noon and it was still early to go to a bar or book a hotel to rest. Ma Tao heard the words of the supply store expert and turned to ask Su Lanxi.
"It's up to you, I can just ask around."
Su Lanxi held Ma Tao's arm and nodded in agreement with Ma Tao's proposal, so the two of them went to the back of the chariot equipment store as Daniel said.
"Hello, brother, the potatoes are pretty good! Let me ask you something. I heard that you have a young man here who wants to be a hunter warrior, right?"
There were many houses behind the equipment store. The two of them walked for a while and happened to meet a man who had returned from fetching water and was sitting at the door washing vegetables.
"Are you talking about Xiao Jinzi? I really don't know if he is at home or not. This kid is always mysterious every day."
The man who was washing vegetables put down the potatoes in his hand and said
"Xiao Jinzi?" Su Lanxi was a little funny when he heard the name, and looked at Ma Tao without saying a word.
"Do you know why he wants to be a hunter?" Ma Tao knelt down and kept a distance from the man, so politely.
"Hi!" the man sighed, and continued to wash the potatoes in the basin. "That kid has loved playing with machines since he was a child. He originally wanted to work in a repair shop, but his father didn't agree."
"Then do you know where Xiao Jinzi's home is?" Ma Tao then asked
"It's the big house at the end of this row, the one with the attic."
The man pointed, and Ma Tao looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough he saw an attic house with red tiles. Presumably, this little Jinzi's family must be in good condition.
"Hey! I said, you didn't go to him to form a team, did you? That boy! He has very high standards. Several groups have gone to him before, and there were many beautiful women, but he rejected them all. "The vegetable-washing man reminded me kindly.
"It's okay, let's go take a look." Ma Tao looked at Su Lanxi beside him, then thanked the man, and the two of them headed towards the bungalow.
"You don't really want me to use a honey trap, do you?" Su Lanxi glanced at Ma Tao suspiciously.
"I don't like beauties either. I guess he is either a mechanical maniac or a patient with physical problems." Ma Tao looked at Su Lanxi in his arms and scratched Su Lanxi's pretty nose with his hand, "Besides, I can’t bear to leave you”
"That's pretty much it." Su Lanxi was very satisfied with Ma Tao's answer and stopped asking.
After walking past other private houses, I finally came to this bungalow. When I got closer, I realized that this was a two-story villa building.
The villas were open, but no one came out after shouting twice. The two looked at each other and came to the yard. The grassland, rockery and fish pond in the yard were beautifully decorated. After taking a few steps, a nanny hurried over.
"Who are you two looking for?" the nanny asked with a kind face.
"Hello, is this Xiao Jinzi's house?" Ma Tao asked politely.
"Xiao Jinzi's kid has been staying at Grandpa Uli's house behind Seoul recently. He hasn't been back for a long time. Are you two here to join Xiao Jinzi to form a team?" The nanny gave the two of them a serious look. Su Lanxi was feeling better. , seeing Ma Tao carrying a long gun and wearing leather armor and a standard hunter's attire, he asked doubtfully.
"You can say that." Ma Tao smiled back at the nanny.
"Who are you?" At this time, the door of the bungalow opened. Two middle-aged men and women, a man and a woman, who were well-dressed, happened to open the door. It was the lady who spoke.
"Master and Madam, these two are here to see Master Jin." The nanny quickly saluted the two.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry to disturb you." Ma Tao understood immediately upon hearing this that these two people should be the owners of the villa and Xiao Jinzi's parents, so he brought Su Lanxi and saluted them.
"No need, come in and talk." The middle-aged man looked at Ma Tao and Su Lanxi carefully, said in a condescending tone, and led the lady beside him back to the house.
"Thank you." Ma Tao was very unhappy after hearing this, and even Su Lanxi frowned.
After entering the house, another young nanny handed the two of them slippers with a smile, and there was a housekeeper in a suit and tie beside them. The two changed into slippers and were led by the housekeeper into the living room.
Good guy, Ma Tao finally saw the luxury of the rich, the splendid walls, the brightly lit ceilings, the leather sofas, the solid wood floors, and the white and soft goose down carpets in many places. Five or six young nannies were wearing the same clothes. The clothes stood motionless in different positions, maintaining a standard smiling posture, waiting for instructions. If they hadn't blinked their eyes from time to time, Ma Tao would have thought they were robots, and the two middle-aged men were dressed in noble clothes. The man and woman were currently sitting in front of a huge tea table made of a whole golden nanmu tree, sipping tea and waiting for the two of them.
"Please have tea." The butler in a suit and leather suit led Ma Tao and Su Lanxi to sit down on the other side of the tea table. He also made a cup of hot tea for each of them and put it away, then stood behind them and waited. Follow the instructions.
"Are you my son's friends?" Xiao Jinzi's father, who was dressed in fine clothes, gently put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the two of them with cold eyes.
"It doesn't matter now, right?" Ma Tao didn't care about this. Rich people are used to being domineering. Besides, Ma Tao was not a spoiled young master in his previous life. He had experienced many bloody things when he was scolded by his boss. Yes, there are people who are more irritating than him, and this kind of scene is still acceptable.
"That's good. I often warn my son to choose friends carefully." Xiao Jinzi's father looked at Ma Tao's outfit and showed a meaningful smile.
"If I say it, I'm not sure it will happen in the future." Ma Tao also smiled back at him.
"Young man, don't be too reckless. In fact, the relationship between our father and son is very good." Xiao Jinzi's father glanced at him, and his words sounded threatening.
"I know the purpose of your coming, let me tell you clearly, I will never agree with my son becoming a hunter and wandering around." The noble lady on the side, Xiao Jinzi's mother, stared at Ma Tao with a hostile look.
"Is your prevention effective?" Ma Tao did not answer their words but looked at them mockingly.
"Do you know who you are talking to? I am the standing committee member of the original Bobu Town in Seoul." Xiao Jinzi's father narrowed his eyes and looked at Ma Tao with a hint of anger.
"I'm talking to a father who wants to cheat his children." Ma Tao looked directly at him without fear, but his heart trembled. It turned out that Seoul was the former town of Bob, and he was still looking for the legendary Bob. It seems that Naduo Village has been closed for a long time, and the outside world has changed so much that it is really impossible to look at it with the previous thinking.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jinzi's father frowned, not understanding what Ma Tao meant.
"Is Seoul safe?" Ma Tao smiled slightly, reached for the tea cup on the table, sipped the tea by himself, and asked an unrelated question.
"Twenty thousand defenders, one hundred thousand civilians, countless bounty hunters, high city walls, and no worries about food and clothing." Xiao Jinzi's father answered Ma Tao's question directly without even thinking about it.
"What if Noah comes to attack?" Ma Tao put down his tea cup and asked again.
"It's ridiculous! If Noah had attacked, he would have attacked already. Seoul has been established for a day or two, so why wait until today! It's been decades, Noah has long forgotten that there are still humans living here, right?" Xiao Jinzi's mother He scoffed and straightened the folds of the cheongsam on his chest, not caring about Ma Tao's words at all.
"Do you think so too? Our Lord Standing Committee Member..." Ma Tao ignored the woman's words and stared directly into the eyes of Xiao Jinzi's father.
"Noah has indeed become quieter in the past few years, and its army of monsters is no longer frantically sweeping away. There are various signs that Noah seems to have entered some kind of dormant period, but this does not mean anything." Xiao Jinzi's father looked at him solemnly. Looking at Ma Tao in front of him, he found that he couldn't see through the young man in front of him, who was not much older than his son.
"My Lord Standing Committee Member, are you confused or Noah is stupid? Noah is a computer, a supercomputer, and can even do it seamlessly. From some perspectives, it is very simple to eliminate human beings. Satellite search, carpet inspection, many, many more method, but why did it not choose to directly destroy humans, and it has been dragging its feet for three hundred years? There cannot be a reason for this. Noah has been sending his men to capture humans before, and even captured entire villages and towns. Do you think this is normal? One day, Noah will complete his unknown plan. My Lord Standing Committee Member, what is the use of your wealth... ..." Even he himself didn't know what Ma Tao said. Anyway, he just said whatever he could think of. It was just a lie.
"You should know very well that behind security and stability there must be a strong and powerful force. Sometimes it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else." Looking at Xiao Jinzi's father's brows in thought, Ma Tao added after thinking for a while.
"Husband, is what he said true? Will monsters attack Seoul in a big way?" The lady next to her, Xiao Jinzi's mother, who had been sipping tea carefully, looked panicked after hearing this, and shook her husband's arm vigorously.
"I'm not sure yet." Xiao Jinzi's father raised his head and took a deep look at Ma Tao in front of him again and asked, "What's your surname? May I ask what your name is?"
"I don't dare to take it." Ma Tao waved his hand, lowered his head and smiled, "My surname is Ma and my last name is Tao. I am a small person struggling in this crisis-ridden world. The most important thing is to live hard, for myself and my family." It’s just a last resort”
"What a life! What a last resort!" Xiao Jinzi's father laughed heartily, and as he spoke, he stood up and told the young nanny waiting on the side, "Come here! It's Jin Junmei's place! Prepare the food and drinks!"
"Uncle, excuse me." Ma Tao quickly stood up and saluted, "Junior, I still have something to do. Let's wait for another day. Besides, I don't know whether I can see your son or not. I don't know if I can get in. I haven't even figured out my horoscope yet." , how to sit down and have a drink?”
"In other words, Xiaotao is so young and far-sighted. If my son Jinbao is lucky enough to team up with you, then I will fully support him!" Jinbao's father raised his hand to represent his attitude.
"That's right, it's too late for us to be happy, ha~" The noble lady Jin Bao's mother also changed quickly enough and quickly followed suit.
"You two, please don't blame me for disturbing you. We have something to do, so we won't stay any longer. Please stay." Ma Tao said as he stood up to leave with Su Lanxi.
"Welcome to come." Jinbao's parents also stood up and said goodbye.
The butler who had been waiting behind Ma Tao came to the front again to lead the way, and sent the two to the door outside the villa with a smile.
"Thank you," Ma Tao said with a nod. The serious-looking butler smiled back and turned around and entered the villa.
"Tao, you are so awesome." Su Lanxi looked at Ma Tao with stars in his eyes, full of admiration.
"What's so great about it? It's just a matter of time. You can't be intimidated by other people's official intimidation, right?" Ma Tao felt very comfortable with the praise.
"That little Jinzi must not have a good relationship with his father recently. He doesn't live at home anymore. It turns out that rich people also have troubles." Su Lanxi jumped on the curb in front of Ma Tao like a child while walking. While talking.
"Every family has its own problems. Under the appearance of harmony, there are bound to be various uncertainties hidden. The more pampered a child is, the more willful he will be. It is inevitable. However, that kid is so obsessed with machinery, so he must have good skills... ..." Ma Tao touched his chin while walking and studying this mysterious little gold that he had never seen before.
"What to do next?" Su Lanxi stopped and looked back at Ma Tao.
"If you have anything to do, you have to fill your stomach first! Let's go! Brother will take you to eat delicious food!" Ma Tao hugged Su Lanxi's slim waist and the two of them played and laughed all the way to find a restaurant.
In such a big Seoul city, people come and go, and there is more than one restaurant. Not to mention Central Street, there are many places to eat. In order to prevent crowds and queues, Ma Tao and the others found a nearby restaurant that looked pretty good. There were not many people inside the store, and the environment was pretty average, clean and hygienic. We found a seat and sat down.
"What do you want to eat?" The waiter who came was a girl with short hair and a bob haircut. She had a nice face, but her voice was a bit rough. I don't know if it was because of the smoke all year round or because she was worried that others wouldn't hear her voice because she was so quiet. The girl handed over a menu casually. , Su Lanxi was very close, so she reached out and took it and started looking at it.
"Whatever you like, order more. You've been working hard outside with me these days. I'll make it up to you today." Ma Tao didn't stop him and let Su Lanxi choose the dishes.
"As you said, I want this and this and this..." Su Lanxi ordered four dishes in one go. Ma Tao looked at it and thought, Huo! Good guys are either sweet or meaty.
"You're not afraid of getting fat." Ma Tao laughed and didn't care. He wouldn't be poor anyway. He looked up at the bob-haired waitress and said, "She's adding two bowls of rice."
"I don't want it! That's enough." Su Lanxi quickly waved his hand
"I didn't bring you with me." Ma Tao looked at her pretending to be angry and pouted, and spread his hands indifferently.
"Okay, it'll be ready soon." After the bob-haired girl said it, she wrote it down, took back the menu and went to the kitchen.
Su Lanxi waited until he was bored and started to look around. Because Su Lanxi had a good face and the restaurant was not very big, the diners on the left and right also noticed that there was a beautiful woman dining here, and they subconsciously looked at Su Lanxi more. Lan Xi glanced, but they could also see Ma Tao sitting next to Su Lanxi, equipped with long guns and short cannons. Upon closer inspection, even this beautiful woman had weapons and equipment on her waist. Needless to say, the two of them Definitely not a weak bounty hunter.
Ma Tao couldn't do anything about other people's attention. He couldn't just draw a gun and shoot someone just because he glanced at Su Lanxi. Then he probably wouldn't have to do anything else for the rest of his life. Su Lanxi's face destined Ma Tao to be a bad person in his life. When you are fighting, you are on your way to fight. You will definitely become a flat-head brother on the grassland.
"Next time, I'll prepare a veil for you like your sister did." Ma Tao looked at the guys around him with a sullen expression.
"What's wrong?" Su Lanxi didn't notice the eyes of the people around him and asked without knowing why.
"Don't worry, a handsome guy will lure you away," Ma Tao said with some displeasure.
"You... are jealous!" Su Lanxi heard the sourness in Ma Tao's voice and suddenly pointed at Ma Tao's nose, with a serious look on his face as if he had caught you.
"Tch!! I...what should I eat? I'm jealous..." Ma Tao rubbed his nose and fiddled with the dishes on the table.
"You said no, you blushed, you will blush again," Su Lanxi said, covering her mouth and laughing.
"Okay, okay, I admit it, I don't like you being seen by others." Ma Tao raised his hands in surrender and admitted his discomfort.
"Okay! Next time I will definitely bring something like a veil out," Su Lanxi said
At this time, a middle-aged woman with a sad face walked in and sat at the corner of the table near the door. Before she could order, the bob-haired waitress went straight into the kitchen and took out a steaming bowl of steaming rice as if she was predicting the future. The vegetarian soup noodles were brought to the middle-aged woman's table.
"Thank you, Xiaojuan, how much does it cost?" the middle-aged woman said and took out a few scattered pieces of G from her arms.
"Teacher Liu, you can eat whatever is free or not." The bob-haired girl smiled and pushed it away without asking for it.
"How embarrassing is this? I've eaten for nothing several times. Now, if I don't come next time, how much does it cost?" The middle-aged woman was very embarrassed and insisted on giving the few G's in her hand to the one named Xiaojuan. Bob hair girl.
"Let's do this, you give me a cost, that's enough." Xiaojuan, the girl with a bob hair, couldn't shirk, so she took a half-broken G and settled the bill. The middle-aged woman sighed when she saw this, and stopped shirking. After doing this, he picked up the chopsticks on the side and ate the noodles with a sad look on his face.
"Sister!" Ma Tao stopped the bob-haired waitress who was walking by, and then quietly pointed at the middle-aged woman eating noodles at the table at the door. "What's wrong with that aunt?"
"Ah, you're talking about Teacher Liu," the girl with the bob hair looked at the middle-aged woman eating noodles and then told Ma Tao
"She is a teacher at our school here. She is very good at teaching children. My younger brother also goes to school there. Because the school lacks funds, it can't even buy books. It is about to close now. Oh~ Teacher Liu is really pitiful." Bob-haired After the girl finished speaking, she sighed and went to work again.
Ma Tao looked at the middle-aged woman eating noodles again, and then at Su Lanxi beside him.
"I understand, let's eat quickly, and we'll go take a look later. I support you." Su Lanxi held Ma Tao's hand and looked at him tenderly.
"Thank you for understanding me. I just want to help others as much as I can." Ma Tao particularly liked Su Lanxi's understanding.
"Needless to say, the food is here."
The waitress with a bobbed head from the kitchen came over with the meals ordered by Ma Tao and placed them on the table.
"How much?" Su Lanxi asked
"Ma'am, a total of 5G," the bob-haired girl replied with a smile. Then, Su Lanxi turned around and took out 5G from his backpack and handed it to her.
