Chapter 124: Departure
At this time, although the skin of the homestay was still as delicate as chocolate, his face was already wrinkled, and his fat figure could not hide even in the gorgeous traditional Indian women's costume Sari (sari), and the bloated aunt had already prepared an exotic breakfast.
Seeing the tenant coming downstairs, she hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, come and try my craft." ”
India was colonized by the British Empire among the Western powers for hundreds of years in the old era, so that many illiterate poor people could speak English fluently, so staying in New Delhi, Zhang Longchu, who was born in the same English-speaking country of Millikan, did not have a language barrier, but the difference in food was too great.
glanced at the steaming curry and diced beef on the dining table from afar, stirred into white and yellow with his hands, and sticky pilaf;
The mango is poured with minced garlic, pounded and smashed, mixed with an unknown spice leaf, and prepared with a vegetarian sauce... Just two things completely drained his appetite.
"Oh, thank you for your hospitality, ma'am," Zhang Longchu said with a smile and apologetic nonsense, no longer looking at the dining table, "but I don't want to spend the first morning at the table in this beautiful ancient country of India.
I hope, uh, while strolling through the streets and admiring the beautiful scenery of New Delhi;
While eating some folk snacks and experiencing the long cultural heritage of India, so, well, thank you again for the kindness, but no, goodbye. He hurriedly left the B&B and disappeared outside the door in the blink of an eye.
Walked out into the streets and wandered around for a while. Zhang Longchu, who originally thought that enjoying the beautiful scenery was just an excuse, slowly found that the temples around him with golden paint on the outside were shining dazzlingly in the sunlight. Although it is built on the ground, it looks like it is standing in the sky from a distance;
The streets are full of women with their bodies wrapped in colored cloths, and their bodies are dressed in gold and silver, and they are full of jewels. Although his face was covered with light veil, and his head was covered with all kinds of heavy objects such as packages, wooden basins, and porcelain jars like an acrobat, the graceful writhing posture left people with infinite reverie;
Some of the men wore crisp suits, some wore long robes and cloth bags around their heads, and more wore rough and dirty short-sleeved shirts on the upper body, shorts and slippers on the lower body, but they were surprisingly integrated when they walked together.
After the impression gradually changed, look at the Crescentists who did not forget to salute each other when they passed by, and the beef was the staple food;
and Hindus who worship cattle as creatures. In his heart, he finally had to admit that the harmonious charm and beauty of the ancient civilization that had been passed down for thousands of years in front of India in the early morning was really amazing.
"Is this the real India, dirty and beautiful, poor and rich, barbaric and peaceful, what a contradiction..."Zhang Longchu, who was strolling through New Delhi, thought to himself as he stopped because of the aroma of frying.
In the Indian folk. Many people like to boil various ingredients and spices together to make a paste, accompanied by a kind of bread or rice called naan to fill the stomach, and the mastery of cooking methods is only in the selection of ingredients and spices and the control of the heat. The appearance of the dishes is actually very similar, and it is too good to arouse the appetite of foreigners.
It is some simple street food, because of the pursuit of convenience and speed, so the practice is mainly fried and baked. On the contrary, it looks very attractive, for example, it looks like a scallion pancake in Zhang Longchu's eyes at this time. Just a snack with minced meat is an example.
After finding the right food to taste and filling your stomach. Zhang Longchu only felt that his mood was getting more and more comfortable, and he slowly really played like an ordinary traveler.
It wasn't until the next evening, when he received a phone call from Yuri, that he had to get out of a temple dedicated to the monkey god and take a taxi to the bar where the two had first met.
The second visit, Zhang Longchu already seemed very familiar, looked around, and saw Yuli sitting on a round wine table in front of the bar, he walked straight to the girl and sat down, waved his hand and shouted to the bartender foreman behind the bar: "John, please bring me a cup of Long Island Iced Tea, I have eaten too many greasy things in the past two days, I have to refresh my mouth before dinner." ”
"Looks like you're more adaptable than I thought, boy, and you're still so energetic after two days in New Delhi." Hearing Zhang Longchu's shouting, Yuli, who was bowing her head and writing and drawing with her fingers on a tablet smart brain, raised her head and said casually, and then handed the smart brain in her hand to Zhang Longchu, and her attitude became serious, "I drafted a contract, you can look at it."
If there are no objections, your people can go with the mercenary group early tomorrow morning..."
"There's nothing for me," Zhang Longchu took the tablet Zhi Brain and interrupted Yuli's words, "Since I'm the gold master, of course I should personally go down the copy to supervise the work, right?" ”
"You go in person..."Yu Li paused for a moment and pouted, "Boy, reality is not an online game, although it is theoretically safe to follow a silver-level mercenary team, but anything can happen when you go on an expedition to the different planes."
It's really a desperate situation, and the knives of those religious warriors in the Treasure Elephant Kingdom won't cut off your head just because you are the gold master. ”
"As long as those hired plane mercenaries do their best," Zhang Longchu shrugged, "even if I really deserve to have my head cut off because of an accident." As he spoke, he took a big sip of the Long Island Iced Tea that the bartender had just delivered.
"That's up to you," Yuri said with a frown, "but the contract has already written that 4.5 million rupees a day is only the price to protect one person, so if you are going, you can't bring your own bodyguards."
Unless the bodyguard's bio-energy is above level 15, or if he's willing to add money..."
"Alright, I don't have a bio-level 15 bodyguard, and I don't want to spend extra money, so I'll go alone." Zhang Long interrupted Yuli's words again without raising his head, signed his name with his finger on the contract displayed on the tablet Zhibrain screen, and after returning Zhibrain to Yuli, he simply asked, "What time will you leave tomorrow and go to the meeting?" ”
Using the ultra-thin printer that comes with the tablet brain, the contract was printed out in duplicate, and Yuli threw one of them into Zhang Longchu's arms, shrugged and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite vigorous and resolute, so I have a little bit of appreciation, boy."
Don't forget to put the deposit into the account written in the contract tonight, I already know where you live, there will be a car to pick you up at six o'clock tomorrow morning, don't forget to get up a little early. He then stood up and strode out of the bar.
"It's like child's play, signing a contract without even verifying your identity, and you don't care about money like me;
Still too confident in himself," turning his head to look at her disappearing back, Zhang Longchu silently thought: "If it was the former, I wouldn't be a pickpocket leader...", drank the cocktail in front of him, dropped two 5,000 rupee bills, turned around, and quickly disappeared outside the bar door.
In the early morning of the next day, the genius Zhang Longchu got up early, straddled his strange backpack, retired from the homestay room, and waited outside the door, and soon saw a medium-sized bus carrying more than a dozen passengers towards him.
Thinking that since he had to travel more than 200 kilometers to the frontier of the Oman Sahua plane, he was alone, and the car that came to pick him up was naturally either a rest or a jeep, Zhang Longchu didn't care, but he didn't expect the bus to stop in front of him.
"Get in the car, I'll be waiting for you alone." Then the bus door opened, and a familiar voice came from inside.
Zhang Longchu took a moment to get on the bus, and saw that there were already many people sitting in the dim carriage, only the two or three seats by the door and the last row were still empty, and he opened his mouth in surprise, looked at Yuli who was sitting next to the only empty seat, and blurted out: "Miss Yuli, your life has been too carefully!"
The total amount of my deal with you is over 100 million rupees, you, can't you find a decent car to take me, and have to squeeze into the public bus to the frontier, oh, I have nothing to say..."
"It's not a public bus, it's my car.
Sorry boy, in fact, I also want to comfortably take an extended RV to the front of Oman Sahua, but the longer RV can't fit 14 people, and it's not very convenient to go in a few cars, so I can only take the bus. Yuri shrugged and said, "Okay, don't complain, sit down, we're going to get out of town before rush hour." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Longchu's first thought was that the people in the car might all be plane mercenaries hired by himself, so he hurriedly sat down beside Yuli.
But after the bus started, he looked back curiously and took a closer look, and found that although many of the passengers in the whole car should be quite powerful, there are also some people who obviously don't look like strong people who can fight in the heterogeneous plane, and he suddenly found that when he and Yuli met for the first time and clashed, the Asian young man who helped Yuli was also among them, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
His face was unconsciously covered with gloom, and Zhang Longchu turned his head to Yuli and asked, "Who are the people in the car, and why are they setting off with us?" ”
"They are all gold lords like you," Yuri shrugged, "Don't you want spiritual objects, some of them want the magic elixir of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, some want portraits, carvings and other works of art, and some hope to get valuable gold and silver objects."
As Yuri once said, reality is not an online game, and the same armed forces protect one person and protect a group of people, and the difference is naturally huge in terms of security.
Instantly understood why he only needed to spend 4.5 million rupees to hire a full 15 silver creature level plane mercenaries, Zhang Longchu immediately had a feeling of being deceived, but after recalling the contract he signed, he found that he didn't even have a reason to question, and couldn't help but sigh and smile bitterly.

PS: Seeing that some readers greatly questioned the protagonist's attitude towards things, and also thought that Piggy was suspected of irrigation, Piggy could only explain that from the first day of the codeword, Piggy's wish was to create a protagonist as the center, although it was fantastic, but it made people feel that it was really credible
And this desire has never changed, I hope that the big people who like this style can vote for the support of a monthly ticket in the case of a big push on the homepage, piggy, make the data look better, hehe
