Chapter Seventy-Six: Rainbow City
"This ...... Here you go! ”
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Zheng groped around the inner lining of the jacket a few times, and under the gaze of Tuohai, he directly tore a sealed pocket sewn on the inside of the jacket, and took out an unknown object wrapped in a purple silk scarf from it.
didn't take it immediately, Takumi looked at Xiao Zheng's eyes with a puzzled look.
"I'm sorry, Takumi, I hid something from you before......"
"I don't have nothing to lose when I throw away my backpack supplies, in addition to the catty dog and the bigtongue shellfish, I also have a fire stone on my body that was originally prepared for the catty dog."
His eyes gestured to the object in his hand, and Xiao Zheng lowered his voice and said.
His pupils shrank slightly, Takumi looked at the not sparse crowd on the road, and walked forward first, and a trace of voice came into Xiao Zheng's ears.
"Put things away first!"
Nodding clearly, Xiao Zheng trotted to follow, and continued as if he had opened a conversation.
"My father is a police officer at the Rainbow City Police Department, and my mother is a nurse at the Pokémon Center, and although the family is not as wealthy as those rich people, it is also considered to be middle-class."
The corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and Tuohai nodded and motioned for Xiao Zheng, a rich and handsome man, to continue.
"It's something my parents taught me since I was a child."
"You saved me, and the life of the catty dog, please take this fire stone, otherwise my heart will not be able to get over it......"
Stretching out his right hand holding the Fire Stone in front of Takumi, Xiao Zheng, who had entered the drama spirit mode, hurriedly took a breath, and then hurriedly said.
"Takumi, you must know that if you want to evolve into a nine-tail, you also need a fire stone, you must not refuse, otherwise...... Huh? How did you already take the Fire Stone?! ”
Just as he was about to peel off the silk scarf wrapped in the Fire Stone, Takumi looked at Xiao Zheng speechlessly.
"Do you want you to stuff it in my pocket three or four times, and then I refuse again and again, and finally accept this fire stone with a solemn face when you make a gesture that you will break off if you don't accept it?"
Xiao Zheng showed an embarrassed look on his face, and snorted haha, Gu Zuo said that he got up.
Boom!
Hitting Komasa's strong chest muscles with a punch that was not light or heavy, Takumi shook the fire stone in his hand and touched his chest with the fire stone.
"I've made a note of this!"
The two of them glanced at each other, with smiles on their faces, and walked towards the downtown area of Rainbow City with their shoulders hooked.
"Let's go, Rainbow City is my home field, Takumi, don't stay at the Pokémon Center today, come directly to my house as a guest! I'll tell you, Takumi, my mother's curry rice is delicious......"
Neither of them mentioned why Xiao Zheng didn't take out the fire stone before, they are both smart people, and the two of them know this matter in their hearts.
Even Xiao Zheng, who knows how to repay his kindness, also knows that after he loses his ability to protect himself in the wild, the last thing that cannot be revealed is that he still has heart-warming wealth on him, even if he is facing someone who just saved his life.
Wealth moves people's hearts, and revealing the wealth on one's body when oneself is not capable of self-protection, which is equivalent to pushing half of one's body into the gates of hell.
Takumi was very sure that if Xiao Zheng took out this fire stone to him in the cave, then he would most likely do something to Xiao Zheng.
There is no reason, it is a very simple judgment, 'If you give away a precious fire stone so easily, then don't you have more wealth on you?' ’
Obviously, Xiao Zheng knows this very well, and even if he decides to repay the grace of saving his life, he chooses to wait very rationally.
Giving a beggar who is dying of starvation a bowl of rice to eat, the rescuer will only feel the satisfaction of conscience in the bottom of his heart, but if he finds that the beggar has hundreds of thousands of cash and the word money in his broken bag, it can instantly break that bit of conscience......
A question suddenly popped up in Takumi's mind, who came to Xiaozheng's house as a guest, whether Xiaozheng's backpack was lost by accident, or was it 'lost' when he heard that he had decided to help him?
Shaking his head, he got up and took the juice brought by Xiao Zheng, and took a sip, and Takumi immediately stopped thinking about this matter.
……
"Today's breakfast was a sandwich! Takumi and Xiaozheng both have long bodies, so milk must also be there! The little mother with the apron said softly to Takumi and Komasa who came to the table.
This is the second day that Takumi came to Rainbow City, and after Komasa told his parents what happened in the Snow Mountain, Komasa's parents kept thanking Takumi, which made Takumi feel quite unbearable.
In the end, it was Xiao Zheng's gag that helped Takumi out of the siege, but Xiao Zheng's mother still made a very sumptuous dinner and warmly invited Takumi to stay for a few more days.
After taking a bite of the sandwich, Xiaozheng's police father suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked Takumi.
"Takumi, are you going to challenge the Rainbow Gym?"
Putting down the glass of milk, Takumi nodded.
"Collecting the badges of the Gym is an extremely important part of my cultivation journey, and I will definitely not let go of the Rainbow Gym! In fact, I was preparing to go to the gym to register after breakfast. ”
patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder, Xiao Zheng's father, who was wearing a police uniform, said with a smile, "Then let Xiao Zheng be your tour guide!" He had challenged the Rainbow Gym before, and he was quite familiar with this aspect. ”
"Dad, don't you say I'll do the same, and besides, I have to buy travel supplies again!"
Taking over Tuohai's tour guide work, Xiao Zheng grinned at Tuohai, and Tuohai nodded helplessly, although he didn't need a tour guide to find the Rainbow Gym......
After the meal, Xiao Zheng lazily walked up the street and said to Takumi beside him.
"Let's go, let's go to the Pokémon Center first, and then go to the Rainbow Gym after taking care of the Pokémon."
Facing Takuha's slightly puzzled eyes, Xiao Zheng explained with a big smile.
"Are you wondering if you put Pokémon in the Pokémon Center, so what should you do to challenge the gym?"
After seeing Takumi nodding, a look of pride appeared on Xiao Zheng's face, "This is Rainbow City, as the second largest metropolis in Guandu, although I don't think Rainbow City is inferior to Golden City, but you must know that there are countless trainers in Rainbow City!" ”
"It's not just the trainers who settle in Rainbow City, as one of the centers of Guandu, the trainers who come and go to Rainbow City every day are like carp crossing the river, and among these trainers, there are many people who want to challenge the gym!"
As soon as Xiao Zheng said this, Tuohai immediately knew that the Rainbow Daoist Hall was busy, and Xiao Zheng's next words gave Tuohai a direct reference.
"I challenged the Rainbow Gym at the time, and it took my turn seven days after registration, and it is said that at the peak of the period, I had to wait twenty days after registering at the Gym before it was my turn to challenge the Gym ......"
"So, my dad asked me to be your tour guide, not to let me take you to the gym at all, but to take you to Rainbow City!"
A few hours later, Takumi, who had finished registering, looked at the dozen names in front of his name and smiled at Xiao Zheng.
"It looks like I'm lucky, I can do the gym challenge the day after tomorrow!"
Xiao Zheng, who crossed his waist, said in a sour tone, "That's because the quartz conference is about to start, and in addition to those qualified trainers, a large number of trainers are also moving closer to that side, wanting to watch the competition of those powerful trainers." ”
"Quartz Conference, this time next year, I will definitely be a member of the competition, Xiaozheng, you have to come to the scene to cheer me on, otherwise, you can only enjoy my heroic appearance in front of the TV screen."
The thick arm suddenly strangled Takumi's neck, and Xiao Zheng dragged Takumi out of the registration office, and said 'viciously'.
"I should be telling you this ......"
……
Rainbow Game City.
Tuohai, who got off the bus, looked at this extremely conspicuous signboard game city, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at Xiao Zheng, who was excited next to him.
"Obviously, I want to come to play, but I want to bring me over for entertainment!"
"Haha......" pretending not to hear Takumi's words, Xiaozheng laughed a few times, and walked towards the game city with Takumi.
"The first to third floors are basically game consoles, and my favorite thing when I was a kid was to run here, but every time I was caught by my dad, I had to be beaten up by him."
Familiar with the car with Tuohai walked towards the third floor, Xiao Zheng was still explaining the game city to Tuohai in his mouth.
"The fourth floor goes up to the top for members, and it's said that there are casinos and a lot of luxuries, and many people think of it as paradise, but for the unlucky ones who have lost all their money, it's hell."
Walking through the crowd with a nonchalant face, Xiao Zheng took out the money from his wallet and walked to the cashier where the game currency was sold.
"Of course, we're here to play games, and the things on the fourth floor have nothing to do with us."
Nodding noncommittally, Takumi followed Xiao Zheng to the service desk, and then instantly grew his mouth.
"Welcome!"
"Sir, how many coins do you want to buy?"
"Ale, Takumi, why are you meowing here?"
Musashi and Kojiro, who were dressed in waiter uniforms, originally squinted their eyes and smiled professionally, but after hearing Meow Meow, who acted as a beckoning cat on the table, spoke, they also focused on Takumi who was following behind Komasa.
"Of course I'm here to play games! This is my new friend, Xiao Zheng! ”
introduced Xiao Zheng, who also looked at him, to the trio, and Takumi introduced Xiao Zheng to the team rocket trio.
"Then I'll go play first, Takumi, you'll come to me later!"
Taking the small box containing the game currency from Musashi's hand, Komasa greeted Takumi and rushed to a game console in high spirits.
"I'm [Abby Lang 97] invincible!"
Looking at Xiao Zheng, who was stuck in the crowd, Takumi shrugged his shoulders and asked curiously to Meow Meow, who was not too busy.
"Meow, why did you change your career to become a waitress in the game city?"
"We are full members with the right to move freely, and we also have a certain amount of rest time after each mission~"
"However, compared to resting, doing odd jobs to make money is the most interesting thing Meow ~ Give the cat gold coins ~ Meow."
The work of the trio was really busy, and Takumi didn't bother too much, but after making an appointment to eat together in the evening, he ran to Xiaozheng's place, with an excited look in his eyes.
"I was the King of Fighters 97 back then, but I dominated the game hall!"
