ACT.259 Delegate
"Yeonzhu, Mugen, Tia, Esther, and Elena, it's time to eat!"
Chen Luo slowly took off his apron, walked to the kitchen door, and shouted upstairs.
As the only one who can cook among several people, and the person who does the best, the three meals of morning, lunch and dinner every day fell on Chen Luo's shoulders again. For this reason, Chen Luo is still extremely depressed, could it be that his mission to come to the endless journey is to cook and be a student? Although it's a little similar to the male protagonist in the anime, it's not something to enjoy, at most it's just not disgusting......
After getting along for the past two months, Chen Luo reluctantly let Lan Yuan Yanzhu let down his guard, at least he no longer lived with hatred every day.
“……”
The first to come down was Lan Yuan Yanzhu, maybe Chen Luo's cooking was too delicious, or it could be that her previous adoptive parents were too bad for her, or it could be that Lan Yuan Yanzhu was embarrassed to let Chen Luo and them wait for her alone, maybe all three. In short, the first to come down every day is Lan Yuan Yanzhu, and she is always able to eat up the food that Chen Luo gave her.
After Lanyuan Yanzhu finished eating, Chen Luo would naturally take the initiative to add food to her, and when Lanyuan Yanzhu was full or didn't want to eat, he would go straight upstairs.
If these Tianlan Yuan Yanzhu were not necessary, they still did not have any communication with Chen Luo.
Just like now, Lan Yuan Yanzhu just silently followed Chen Luo into the kitchen and helped Chen Luo prepare lunch together, but he didn't say a word on the way and didn't have a word with Chen Luo.
"Beware of burning your hands!"
Seeing Lan Yuan Yanzhu holding up the beef soup that Chen Luo had just cooked, because he was accidentally stained with the spilled meat soup on his hands, his face showed a slight painful color. Chen Luo hurriedly snatched Lan Yuan Yanzhu's hand and said with concern.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Immediately after that, Chen Luo slowly put the beef soup on the table. Gently blowing Lan Yuan Yanzhu's little hand said.
“……”
Lan Yuan Yanzhu stood quietly in place. Silently looking at Chen Luo, who was blowing for himself, he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Okay, pay attention to safety in the future."
After a while, Chen Luo let go of Lan Yuan Yanzhu's little hand and said with a little reproach.
"Hmmm......"
Lan Yuan Yanzhu replied softly and slowly withdrew his little hand.
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest, you can go to the living room and wait for dinner."
Lan Yuan Yanzhu's hand was burned, and Chen Luo naturally couldn't let her continue to help. immediately invited Lan Yuan Yanzhu out of the kitchen.
Even if Lan Yuan Yanzhu has the genes of protosagulars in her body, in Chen Luo's eyes, she is a cute little girl who is sympathetic, and making Lan Yuan Yanzhu miserable is not what Chen Luo wants......
By the time Tatsuraku had prepared all the lunches in the living room, the Kigen and the others had all come down from their bedrooms and sat in the living room. By the way, Mu Geng's bedroom is relatively large, so Lan Yuan Yanzhu also lives in the same bedroom as Mu Geng and Elena, who was saved by Chen Luo and the wicked people before.
"I'm going!"
At that moment, everyone, including Lan Yuan Yanzhu, put their palms together and made a declaration before eating, and then ate quietly.
"I have something to go to school in a while, and the company's affairs will be handed over to you first. I'm sorry. ”
After eating a few bites of food, Mu Geng said to Chen Luo with some apologies.
"Hmm. You can go with confidence. ”
Chen Luo nodded lightly, without the slightest surprise.
Although the company has not received a decent commission so far, Mu Geng still takes half a day off every day to take care of the company, and the rest of the time is handed over to Chen Luo to be responsible.
In addition to Restia and Aster, Elena and Lan Yuan Yeonzhu often go to the company with Chenluo, but more often they can only chat and be in a daze without a match.
"We need to complete some commissions as soon as possible...... I'm about to run out of money......"
Chen Luo sighed helplessly in his heart.
Because of the sudden increase in a few people in the family, the original funds were obviously insufficient, and they could only support it for a month or two. If there are no more decent commissions, I'm afraid Chenluo will only be able to go to a convenience store or something like to work to subsidize the family.
After all, in this world, Chen Luo couldn't think of any suitable way to make a living for a while, and Chen Luo didn't want to go to work like force. Otherwise, the establishment of a civilian security company would be meaningless. Instead of this, Chen Luo might as well go directly to some large civilian security companies, so that he can quickly receive the commission.
Since it's an anime world, and it's such a background environment, Tatsuro feels that as long as it's normal, it can't be just a daily world. There will definitely be a lot of major things, and those things are the main factors for Chenluo to improve his IP ranking, and there is no need to waste too much energy on these ordinary things.
"Is the school ......?"
Lan Yuan Yanzhu, who originally looked normal, suddenly looked a lot darker, as if he was thinking about something.
“……”
Elena was also relatively frustrated, and the two silver ponytails were also listlessly drooping behind her head, and she had already stripped off the rice grains in front of her, and was still subconsciously pulling with chopsticks.
The only two of the four who looked normal were Restia and Esther, and the two of them had also experienced some worlds with Chenluo, and their curiosity about the school was also greatly satisfied. And the two of them themselves are not interested in school, so when they mention school, the two of them are still eating their own food leisurely.
"You're both nine years old, it's time to go to school, it's time to find a chance for you two to go to school."
Chen Luo also quickly noticed the unnaturalness of Elena and Lan Yuan Yanzhu, and immediately guessed the thoughts of the two of them, and said seriously.
“…… Don't ......"
Lan Yuan Yanzhu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly, rejecting Chen Luo's proposal.
These days, Chen Luo is good to himself, Lan Yuan Yanzhu naturally sees it in his eyes, and the sincerity in it is also perceived. After all, there was no need for Chen Luo to pretend to be good to her. She is the initiator. There is simply no way to disobey the promoters. Even if the promoter treats her brutally every day, she can only accept it. is like his adoptive parents, who are always hungry and don't give themselves food, and they fist and kick each other at every turn. But the couple feasted on the money the state gave her.
However, after so many years of tragic childhood, Lan Yuan Yanzhu was still a little unable to let go for a while, and he couldn't accept Chenluo quickly, so he could only try his best to integrate himself and Chenluo into the relationship with his partner.
Now I suddenly heard that Chen Luo asked him to go to school, although Lan Yuan Yanzhu's heart was indeed looking forward to going to school and being able to meet many new friends. But for the feelings of rejection that ordinary humans hold towards cursed children. Lan Yuan Yanzhu also knows it in his heart.
Therefore, Lan Yuan Yanzhu is still a little afraid of going to school, and if the people he meets are the same as his adoptive parents, Lan Yuan Yanzhu is afraid that he will become the same as before. Even if you have been trained to hide your red eyes, you will not let others easily perceive your true identity......
"I ...... too Don't ......"
Elena gently bit her pink lower lip, hesitated for a moment and rejected Chenluo's proposal.
Chenluo was good enough for her, Elena didn't want to continue to cause trouble for Chenluo, and Elena herself was a little afraid of being bullied by those people again. Especially compared to Lan Yuan Yanzhu, she can't hide her red eyes freely, and recently she has only been able to maintain normal purple pupils for as long as possible with the help of Lan Yuan Yanzhu.
Once the people in school know that they are cursed children. Even if you're as young as Elena, you know what kind of situation you'll face. She was afraid of that. Even if there is a lack of fun in life now, at least Elena is happy every day. Chen Luo only asked her to help with some simple housework, and never abused and bullied her.
"Then let's talk about it later......"
Chen Luo frowned, he also knew the worries in the hearts of the two, and Chen Luo also knew that he was powerless to change this situation at least for the time being, so he did not insist on letting the two of them go to school.
Anyway, Elena and Lan Yuan Yanzhu mainly hope to be able to go to school like ordinary children and make new friends, and they are not particularly obsessed with learning knowledge. I can teach them some basic knowledge for the time being, and let them go to school after a while. The knowledge of the lower grades is not very difficult, and with the minds of the two of them, they should be able to grasp it quickly, and when the time comes, it will be good to skip the grade directly to the grade suitable for their age.
"Well, it is true that Yeon-joo and Elena should be allowed to go to school, there should be a suitable elementary school nearby."
Mu Geng nodded and said seriously.
"But now Elena is not able to hide her red eyes freely, and the children are not sensible, and it will be a little troublesome if they are guided by some wrong ideas. After Elena can hide her red eyes freely, let the two of them go to school together. ”
Chen Luo thought for a moment and said.
"It's fine."
Mu nodded gently, agreeing with Chen Luo's opinion.
"Hmmm......"
This time, Lan Yuan Yanzhu and Elena did not continue to object, and responded softly.
If the two of them can go to school together, it can also effectively alleviate some of the inner fears, so if the two of them are allowed to go to school together after a while, both of them can accept it......
"Well...... Looks like it's as peaceful as ever......"
Chen Luo sat on the company's sofa, looking at the slightly sparse crowd outside the window, and sighed helplessly.
After lunch, Mu Geng hurried to school, and Chen Luo and Lan Yuan Yanzhu went to the Tiantong Civil Security Company to maintain the company's business.
Due to the particularity of the three business places, Chen Luo can see the purpose of the crowd at a glance, after all, the temperament and clothing on his body are too obvious.
In fact, the crowd here is indeed not small as the landlord said, but only at night. There aren't a lot of people visiting bars or nightclubs during the day, and the location is only moderate.
After arguing for a while, Restia and Esther fell asleep in the bedroom next to them, which was quite spacious, so there was also a lounge. Since two people are born with something wrong, coupled with the existence of various factors, it is also one of the daily routines to laugh at each other for a while and then take a nap.
As for Elena, she is obediently tidying up her surroundings. Although it is said that under the finishing of the wooden more. And usually Elena is by Kigen's side. It's cleaned up. However, Elena will still tidy it up every day, even if Chen Luo tells her not to be so troublesome and does not listen, Chen Luo can only let her go. Maybe in this way, Elena's heart will be a little more at ease.
Lan Yuan Yanzhu was sitting next to Chen Luo, looking at the crowd below with Chen Luo, but compared to Chen Luo's flat eyes, Lan Yuan Yanzhu looked a little envious.
She also wants to be like the people below, with friends or people she likes. Shopping on the street together and buying new things on the street.
But because of his background, many things have become a luxury for Lanyuan Yanzhu, and he even has to take greater risks than ordinary people.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Just as Chen Luo also closed his eyes and was about to take a nap, suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The moment Elena heard the knock on the door, she quickly hid her red eyes, revealed her purple pupils, and ran to the door with a cute smile to open the door and greet the customer.
I saw a middle-aged lady who was a little anxious. Quickly walked in from outside the door and sat down across from Chenluo.
"Excuse me, sir, are you here for the Tiantong Civil Security Company?"
To be on the safe side. The middle-aged lady asked anxiously first.
"That's right, we're here as the Tiantong Civil Security Company, may I ask Madam do you have anything you need to entrust?"
Chen Luo had already sat up, nodded and said politely.
And Lan Yuan Yanzhu obediently poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and then sat down next to Chen Luo.
"My husband has a mine outside the megalith, a few days ago I heard from my miners that there was something unusual nearby, so I went to observe with some of my policemen, but I didn't expect to return for a few days, and no other people came back to report, I found a few people to go and didn't come back. Now I am very worried about the safety of my husband, and I would like to entrust you to check it out, can you? ”。
The middle-aged lady lowered her voice and said with a slight cry, as if she was really worried about her husband.
"Hmm......"
Chen Luo frowned slightly, but did not reply instantly.
There is no doubt about the usefulness of the aquatar, and the aquametry is the most important weapon against the medulla, and many weapons against the medulla have the ingredient of the aqua. And it has also achieved very significant results.
As the area with the highest yield of glutinium, there are naturally a lot of neon ore mines, and there are also many people who steal them, such as the husband of this noble lady now.
Basically, the mines are mined by the state, but because the population is sparse and the management is not strict, there are many people who poach and cannot control it. Especially in the deeper places, the illegal mining of the ore is carried out.
The abundance of protozoa in all parts of the world, except within the area covered by the megalith, was very large, but this did not quench the greed of the greedy people, who still allowed large numbers of poor people to poach in the depths of the dense forests, in the valleys, and near the rivers.
Although they also have prepared police to protect the miners, most of those police are not formal, and even if they are formal, they may not be of good quality, and it is impossible to kill themselves for the sake of those miners.
Now the middle-aged noblewoman's husband's ore mine, Chen Luo estimates that there is a chance that he has been attacked by the protozoa, after all, even if the protophyllum is afraid of the mine, it does not mean that they will avoid the ore, it can only be said that they will not approach it under normal circumstances.
If it's some powerful protozoa, it's not uncommon to get close to the glutinous ore. Therefore, Chen Luo estimated that they were either attacked by the stage 4 gastaroids, or by a large number of stage 3 and stage 2 gastars.
Chen Luo's understanding of proto-intestinal animals is not specific, and with the strength of his own people, Chen Luo doesn't know if he can cope with it.
However, this is also a very important thing for Chen Luo, and it is precisely because of the lack of understanding of protointestinal animals that Chen Luo needs such an opportunity to understand.
"My husband's mine is only five thousand meters outside the megalith, and it won't go too deep, sir, if you can get news, I will pay you 100,000, and if you can bring my husband back safely, I will give you 2 million!"
The middle-aged lady gritted her teeth and said sincerely.
"I'll take this commission for the time being, but I need you to give me enough information first, and I'll set off when I'm ready, it's noon, and it's not suitable for the evening, so I'll leave tomorrow morning at the earliest."
Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to accept this task, not impressed by the reward given by the middle-aged noblewoman, but the reward of the system......
"Trigger the side quest: Discover the truth about the Ore and complete it to reward 3,000 Star Crystals and an unknown item."
Hearing such a rich but not overly fertile reward, Chen Luo also had a rough estimate, and decided to accept it immediately. It can be said that it is a multi-kill thing, and Chen Luo naturally has no reason to refuse.
"Thank you...... I have brought the information of those, please sir you can leave as soon as possible. ”
The middle-aged lady nodded with some disappointment, and then took out some of the papers in the satchel she was carrying, handed them to Chen Luo, and said anxiously.
"Well, you can wait for my news after leaving your contact information."
Chen Luo nodded and said helplessly.
It's not that he doesn't want to set off today, but it's very risky to deal with the original intestines at night, and Chen Luo can only set off as soon as possible tomorrow in order to avoid being surrounded by the original intestines...... (To be continued......)
