Entering the new 'world' of transcendents for the first time, Zhang Longchu naturally obeyed Jones's arrangement, nodded and replied, "Okay, it sounds very good. Together with the girl, they found a wooden table under a peach-tree-like plant and sat down, and then they learned the price of the Black Forest Bar comparable to the top private clubs in Los Angeles.

Two glasses of so-called matiose wine cost 200 yuan, and four plates of small portions of muffins, fresh chocolate chunks, French mousse cakes, and salted meat pancakes cost 400 yuan yuan, plus a 15% tip, just brushed off Jones's 700 yuan.

Seeing this outrageous price, Zhang Longchu couldn't help frowning and said, "Jones, the snacks and wine here are even more expensive than the top steak set in a three-Michelin restaurant, and we still pay for each other." ”

"Since I called you to the Black Forest Bar, of course I should have invited you." A smart person can actually see a lot of things from the attitude of others towards himself, hearing Zhang Longchu's words, Jones's face changed slightly, and then he smiled in disguise, shook his head and said, and then said: "It seems that there are some things I have to explain to you, so as not to make you feel depressed."

In addition to being a place for the transcendents of Los Angeles to gather and spend time at leisure, the Black Linsen Bar also plays a role in exchanging information, and some low-value, well-known heterotopic civilizations and biological data are connected to the intranet here, and you can browse directly as you like.

You must know more about this kind of information, sometimes it can save people's lives, plus the quality of the goods here is top and scarce, and at the same time, we transcendents make money much faster and more than ordinary people, so the price of consumption will of course be more expensive than the outside 'world'. ”

"It turns out that this place also serves as an intelligence station for the Heterotopic Bounty Mission, so that's reasonable." Zhang Longchu thought that he was a transcendent newcomer who casually stayed in the primeval jungle of the heterotopic plane for two days, and earned a bounty of 120,000 meters, and nodded with a relieved expression.

After that, he curiously took out his mobile phone from his pocket, searched for an intranet with the name of blackforest (Black Forest), connected to it, browsed for a while, and soon showed an expression of amazement.

Observing the change in Zhang Longchu's face, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Jones's mouth, and he reminded in a low voice: "Remember Long Chu, the information here can only be seen, don't try to crack and download, you know." ”

"Understand, wow, the information here is really accurate and complete, I just searched the 'Blue Whale Plane' Mamuda Primeval Forest that I have been to, and I have inquired that several dangerous creatures encountered are recorded, and there is also a weak attack analysis, 'Black Forest Forest' is really expensive and worth the money." Zhang Longchu nodded without taking his eyes off the mobile phone screen, and said admiringly.

At this time, the young waiter in a white shirt and black trousers happened to bring the drinks and snacks ordered, Jones leisurely picked up a glass of dark red matio, and said softly: "These materials are not only accurate and complete, but also updated at any time, and you will become inseparable from it after a few more times in the future." ”

Zhang Longchu didn't seem to hear Jones's muttering speech at this time, and continued to look down at his phone intently for a long time before he raised his head, sighed, and said with some regret: "If I had known that there was this place in Los Angeles, it would have been much safer and I would have made a lot more money when I carried out the bounty mission last time." ”

"It's not too late to know, isn't it," Jones said with a smile, "Long Chu, you're only 16 years old, why do you always speak in an old-fashioned manner." ”

"Maybe it's because in my imagination, all the wise men in the Chinese historical classics like to put on a scheming appearance.

I'm also very smart and Chinese, so of course I like to be as unfathomable as they are. Zhang Longchu shrugged his shoulders and took another glass of Matteo wine and took a sip, looked left and right and lowered his voice: "Uh, I'm sorry, may I ask Jones, where is the bathroom here?" ”

"Don't you think it's funny to ask a lady such a question after just flaunting your incomprehension?" Jones paused for a moment, and said with an angry and amused expression, "If you see the pillars of fire on the ground that emit blue flames, just follow their direction."

"Thank you." Zhang Longchu shrugged his shoulders and didn't refute anything, stood up and walked towards the corner of the bar along the wisps of blue flames that erupted from the floor.

Looking at his gradually smaller back, the smile on the corner of Jones's mouth slowly disappeared, he frowned unconsciously, took out his mobile phone and made a call, and soon two men and two women crossed over from the dance floor at the end of the bar and walked quickly to her side.

One of them, a 190-centimeter-tall blond man with well-proportioned muscles, handsome facial features like an idol star, and a black shorts T-shirt, asked with a smile, "Jones, didn't you say you were going to bring a 'little guy' to meet us, people?" ”

"I'm going to the bathroom." Jones said with a pale face: "Things have changed, that 'little guy' has evolved the ability to manipulate frost, and his value has increased greatly, and he has never been close to me, and the 700 yuan of wine money just now has to be paid separately from me, and the difficulty of using it is probably much greater than imagined." ”

"Really, that kid actually evolved a composite elemental manipulation ability, hell, that's really shit luck!" Hearing this, the other of the two men and two women, a young black man in a tracksuit and strong like a boxer, shouted with wide eyes and envy;

Standing on his right, a tall young girl with deep-set eyebrows, a beautiful half-race face and dark brown skin, and the blonde young man who had just asked him could not help but show envious expressions;

Only the last of the two men and two women, the petite Asian girl with black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and a pair of wide-brimmed eyes on the bridge of her nose, who looked like a doll, did not change at all, and said very quickly: "Jones, it doesn't matter that the value of 'target' has changed, what matters is the indifference to your attitude.

According to my previous analysis, he must have exaggerated his experience of exteriotopic exploration to you, but he has definitely completed the heterotopic bounty task, that is to say, he has a certain economic strength, if he regards you as a good friend, according to common sense, the bill of 700 meters will appreciate and accept the treat, and then make up for it next time;

If you have a good impression of you, if you admire you, you are more likely to take the initiative to pay the bill in order to make a good impression, and now proposing the 'AA system' is undoubtedly the most unfriendly outcome.

But that's okay, anyway, the 'goal' is just a new variable, you just need to do a good job of guiding the 'No. 1 lead', subtly influencing her, and letting her do it according to our established plan, everything is OK, understand? ”

"I see," Jones nodded, "and can I introduce you to the 'target' today?" ”

"Of course," the Asian girl shrugged, "for a good staff officer, no matter how small the variables in the plan, you should try to master as much as possible."

In particular, what we are planning is a crime that can be said to be incredibly crazy according to common sense, and the 'little ants' change the big world. He sat down across from Jones.

"How many times have I said Fincher, we are not premeditating a crime but for the well-being of all citizens of the Commonwealth..."Hearing her words, Jones said with some dissatisfaction, but was interrupted by the Asian girl's pouting, "Okay, stop using this self-hypnotic tone to cover up our selfish and vicious intentions, and make our conscience feel good, Jones, doing so will make you more guilty and miserable in the end...

Look, our target has been relaxed, and we have come out of the bathroom, and the yellow skin and black eyes look much more handsome than the photos in your phone, but they are very much in line with my aesthetic requirements, so let's introduce us to each other. ”

As she spoke, Zhang Longchu strolled from the corner of the bar to Jones's side, Jones could only change his expression, showed a smile, looked up at Zhang Longchu and said, "Long Chu, when you went to the bathroom, my friends happened to come to the Black Forest Bar, introduce them to you."

This blonde cool guy is named Joason. Toronto, a sophomore at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles);

The girl with black hair and black eyes next to him is named Xu Finch, who is also a student at UCLA, but is already a graduate student in the Department of Philosophy;

As for this black man who looks like an FNR indiscriminate fighter, his name is Howden. F. Johnson, next to his half-breed beauty is his girlfriend Elledale Hay, both of whom are bounty mercenaries. ”

Hearing that Jones's friend was either a college student or a professional mercenary who had left the classroom and entered the society, Zhang Longchu deliberately did not mention his identity as a middle school student, and waved his hand with a smile: "Oh, hello, my name is Zhang Longchu, and I am honored to meet you." ”

In the face of his friendly performance, no matter what emotions they had in their hearts, Qiao Sen and the others also remained polite and smiled back, and Finch, who is also Asian, stood up, shook hands with Zhang Longchu very formally, and said playfully: "Listen to Jones, your hometown is also Huaguo, and I am very happy to meet a young transcendent person with the same roots and origin today."

Don't look at the Ph.D. students at USLA, in fact, I was admitted to university at the age of twelve, and when I went to Columbia as a visiting scholar at the age of sixteen, the dissertation I wrote was favored by my current supervisor, Professor Hansta, and I was directly accepted as a student, and I am only 17 years old this year, so I should be considered your peer. ”

Hearing Finch's exaggerated study experience, Zhang Longchu was stunned for a moment, only to feel that there was nothing to say except "Wow, is it...".

Seeing his stammering appearance, Finch smiled and said, "We and Jones both met in the 'Black Forest', and we have experienced interdimensional explorations together and become good friends, and I hope we will do the same with you in the future." ”
