Chapter 19: Taste
The girl didn't want to face Zhang Shuo's calm face anymore, she wanted to punch it, because she always felt that there was some kind of cheap smile hidden under the calm.
She wanted to turn around and leave, far away from this hateful man, but unfortunately, she still had a task to do, and she had to choose to face Zhang Shuo again.
"Huh......" The girl took a deep breath, as if she was suppressing the anger in her heart, restraining her hand that wanted to swing her fist again.
Of course, Zhang Shuo also knew each other and did not add fuel to the fire.
The girl who suppressed her anger said, "The ghost guy asked me to tell you that after you completed the C+-level mission of the Hunter Stronghold in Dazzling Light City this time, the score of Shining Light City has reached 80 points, which is barely enough to meet the assessment standard of the guardians. Although the qualifications are there, the strength is far from those gold hunters who participated. So he bought off several gold hunters and examiners who participated in the assessment, and you don't have to show up for the exam in 3 days, someone will take it for you. When it's time for the results to be announced, you can just go to the Guardian Center and give it to the examiner there. ”
As she spoke, the girl escaped from her waist bag and threw a magnetic sheet the size of a fingernail to Zhang Shuo.
Zhang Shuo took the magnetic sheet and inserted it into the hunter's glove: "Understood." ”
The girl glanced at him with a smile, and said coldly: "The ghost guy said, this is the second favor you owe him, you know the rules of his work, and when he needs you to do things for him, you can't refuse." You know the consequences of rejection...... Don't think you're going to get any benefit from living with me! ”
Zhang Shuo spread his hands: "Maybe you got a benefit from me?" Don't forget, I'm helping you develop your core succubus genes......"
"You ......" The girl was enraged by Zhang Shuo again, her right hand was wiped on her waist, and another black dagger appeared in her hand.
The girl wanted to go to Zhang Shuo, but who knew that the aftermath of the storm just now had not dissipated, and her feet were soft, and she fell into Zhang Shuo's arms.
Zhang Shuo grabbed her wrist holding the dagger with one hand, pulled her to his side, and leaned it against the door frame: "I also hope that you had better remember your current identity, whether you admit it or not, according to the setting of the Valkyrie Project, my current identity is your 'master', you had better have such an awareness!" Or do you want me to enforce the Valkyrie master's 'rights' over the Valkyrie again? ”
As soon as she heard Zhang Shuo say that the Valkyrie master's "rights" over the Valkyrie were implemented, the girl who was originally struggling immediately quieted down. was not Zhang Shuo's opponent before, let alone after experiencing Zhang Shuo's violence.
"Let go of me."
Zhang Shuo pushed her away and leaned against the other side of the door frame to look at her: "What else does the ghost guy command?" ”
The girl looked away and said coldly: "Someone has issued a reward for your life, but the specific person has not yet been found." However, the person who clashes with you in the office is not the same as the person who pursues you behind, and the office should be due to a bounty, as for the ...... in the back We have not yet found out who they are. ”
"Finally...... Save your life and wait for me to get it! The girl glared at Zhang Shuo coldly, and then walked off the rooftop.
Zhang Shuo said in the back: "Hey, you haven't told your master your name yet......"
"Get out."
Zhang Shuo spread his hands: "This name is not very good. ”
After a light smile, Zhang Shuo fell silent.
Who wants to do it to themselves?
…………
…………
When Zhang Shuo returned to his residence, it was already completely dark.
According to what the ghost guy said, he didn't need to come forward to participate in the Guardian's assessment next, so that he didn't need to take the assessment, which meant that he didn't need to use Tang Rou to attract the attention of the top management of Yaoguang City. Tang Rou's application for a temporary residence permit can be slowed down for the time being, after all, he hasn't figured out who wants to attack him, and it's not a matter to hang around outside with a woman who has no ability to protect herself.
While thinking, Zhang Shuo opened the door and entered the house, only to see a flower in front of him, a figure jumped from the desk to the bed, grabbed the quilt on the bed and wrapped himself.
Zhang Shuo was stunned, looked at Tang Rou who wrapped herself in a quilt on the bed and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Tang Rou was a little embarrassed, blushing and said, "I thought you wouldn't come back...... Belch...... At least I won't be back for a short time, I haven't changed my clothes in a few days, so I took a shower and washed my clothes by the way, and was about to blow dry my clothes and put them on...... You just pushed the door open and came in......"
"Oh." Zhang Shuojing walked into the room, opened the drawer in front of the wardrobe, took out a set of camouflage uniforms, and handed it to the bed: "This is a new hunter's uniform, you can wear it for the time being." ”
After speaking, Zhang Shuo walked outside the door: "Call me when you change it." ”
"Oh......" Tang Rou's voice was weak.
lit a cigarette outside the house and smoked a few puffs, Zhang Shuo heard Tang Rou in the house say that she had changed it, so he immediately extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it away, and pushed the door into the house.
Tang Rou, who changed into the same black hunter camouflage uniform as Zhang Shuo, looked energetic and capable, and had a dazzling charm.
Zhang Shuo glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, walked to the sofa and lay down: "There is food in the refrigerator, tell me if you need anything, and try not to go out for the past two days." ”
"Okay." Tang Rou answered, walked to the computer and sat down.
Zhang Shuo's computer is very old, but it barely works. After Tang Rou skillfully opened it, she took out a fist-sized box and linked it to the computer, if Zhang Shuo was on the side, she would be surprised, because the computer that originally had no network actually logged in to the unlimited network terminal. Of course, this is not a big deal for senior researcher Tang Rou. As long as she is given the equipment, it is only a matter of time before she enters the information terminal of Shine City.
Zhang Shuo didn't pay attention to what Tang Rou was doing, and he gradually entered the state of light sleep that he had cultivated for a long time. Half-asleep and half-awake, he heard Tang Rou go to the bed and get a thin quilt for him, and then returned to the table, even the sound of pressing the keyboard was deliberately suppressed, as if he didn't want to disturb him.
Even so, Zhang Shuo was still very unaccustomed to having one more person in the house.
And still a woman who has only known each other for a few days.
It's not that he hasn't taken in women before, but it's only a short time, and both sides take their needs from each other, and they go their separate ways as soon as the morning dawns.
But Tang Rou was different, Zhang Shuo really didn't think about how to settle her for a while.
This night, Tang Rou occupied the bed that originally belonged to Zhang Shuo, while Zhang Shuo slept on the dilapidated sofa. Strangely, however, he felt a strange heat in his body scurrying around as if there was no aim, and it was not until he reached the position of his heart that this restless heat energy slowly stopped, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. Zhang Shuo, who was already accustomed to light sleep, suddenly felt unusually tired tonight, as if half of his strength had been drained, his alertness became surprisingly poor, as if he was surrounded by warm darkness, unprecedentedly relaxed, and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
It wasn't until he heard the slight sound of the plate colliding with the table that Zhang Shuo woke up from his deep sleep, and at this time, the sun was already shining slightly outside the window, and the sky was already bright.
"Did you wake you up?" Tang Rou's voice came from the direction of the cupboard. I saw her holding a shovel in one hand and a plate in the other: "I saw that there were still some ingredients in the refrigerator, so I made something." ”
Zhang Shuo got up and walked to the table, where there were already three steaming foods.
Although it was just a scrambled egg, a portion of rice, and a portion of heated synthetic nutritious food, it became fragrant after Tang Rou's hands. According to Zhang Shuo's habitual thinking, after the cooking of synthetic nutritious food, the nutrients are likely to be partially destroyed, which is essentially a waste. But looking at the plate of food in front of him, Zhang Shuo's emotions began to challenge his senses, and he felt that it was actually very good.
"It's ready to eat." Tang Rou put the last plate on the table, which was a plate of shriveled dried bamboo shoots.
Now that the fresh vegetables in this world have become a luxury, this shriveled bamboo shoot was found by Zhang Shuo by chance from a mission, and in order not to waste it, he made them into dried bamboo shoots.
Zhang Shuo hadn't seen such a hot meal for a long time, how long was the last time someone cooked for him?
3 years old?
4 years old?
Or 6 years old?
Thinking of that gentle figure, Zhang Shuo's eyes were slightly red, accompanied by a flash of violence. But when he put a piece of dried bamboo shoots in his mouth, the sour feeling in his eyes became even heavier.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good? Tang Rou saw that Zhang Shuo's expression was a little strange, and said embarrassedly: "This is what my mother taught me to do before, I may not have done it for a long time, and I am a little rusty." ”
"Nope." Zhang Shuo shook his head and showed a rare smile: "It's delicious." ”
It's delicious indeed.
It even reminded him of what "taste" is.
