Chapter 287: The Temptation of 'Eternal Youth'
PS: Congratulations to Liufeiben for getting a daughter, congratulations, congratulations
Zhang Lisheng knew very well that during the time he left, the chance of a wandering indigenous tribe breaking into the 'Tudenan' was actually very small, and when he heard Tugla's solemn answer, he didn't say anything, just smiled noncommittally, and walked out of the bark house.
The time has reached the middle of August, although the sun is hot at noon, but there is already a cool breeze in the evening, and the hand on the pergola looks at the sky that is not early, Zhang Lisheng drove the 'ghost face' to jump to the ground to restore the original shape, ride on the witch worm, and rush to the dense forest in the distance in the prayers of countless natives.
The 'Ghost Face' moved stealthily and quickly in the jungle, and after two hours of departure, Zhang Lisheng finally arrived in the 'gathering place' before the human gathering place on the 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island' was about to close the gate of the city wall.
After more than two months of absence, the 'gathering place' is much more prosperous than before, and it already makes people feel overcrowded.
The young man pretended to be a long sigh of relief, slapped the dirty clothes on his body hard, blended in with the crowd, and came to the butcher shop opened by the LS Group.
This time, the guys in the store didn't rush to drive their 'big boss' away like last time, but they still looked at it for a while before they recognized his identity with the jacket with a lot of pockets that Zhang Lisheng was wearing.
Tony wasn't there, and a tall employee in the shop who seemed to be in charge of the temporary office asked respectfully, "Mr. Zhang, are you back, do you still need freshly grilled steaks and ice coke?"
"Yes, have you had any messages from me lately?"
"Yes. Your girlfriend and her two best friends have been waiting for you on the island for more than a month.
They come to the store every day, and today has just left. The tall employee, dressed in a chef's white uniform, replied as he wrapped several chunky, fatty cutlets with half a dozen iced Cokes.
"I've been waiting for more than a month, where do they stay, is it still the Four Seasons Hotel on the island?"
"No, they should be staying at the 'Hilton Hotel', which has just opened, which has a single villa suite, and at lunchtime, a lot of the business in the store is frequented by wealthy people who live there and come to 'Shrimp B1 Island' for sightseeing. As he spoke, the tall employee handed Zhang Lisheng a sturdy brown paper bag stuffed with food and drink.
"Sightseeing on 'Prawn B1 Island'. Is it just sightseeing?" Zhang Lisheng took the paper bag. Asked.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, recently the 'Huanmi Travel Company' has opened a luxury travel line on the 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island', and the business is very hot, although now guests must have rice nationality. But it is said that it will soon be gradually opened to the world. ”
'Sea Shrimp B1 Island' just a few months ago killed thousands of earthlings due to the outbreak of 'Emperor Pulp'. For this reason, it has become depressed for a long time. Now it has become a tourist attraction again, which makes Zhang Lisheng feel really incredible.
But then I think about the dangers I encountered in the depths of the Amazon jungle a few years ago. It doesn't seem to be much smaller than on 'Shrimp Island B1', but the cannibal tribes of the Amazon are just as crowded as they are, not to mention that 'Shrimp Island B1' also has the name of a very attractive 'Otherworldly Continent' island, and all this seems to be easy to explain.
"The last thing there is on earth is the crazy man who has money and leisure. He shook his head, muttered to himself, and turned to walk out of the butcher's shop.
After returning to his residence on the ground, Zhang Lisheng took a hot bath, shaved his beard and long hair, and changed into a clean shorts and sweatshirt and went out.
After walking down the street for a while, he randomly found a passer-by who looked kind and asked, "Sir, do you know where the Hilton Hotel is in Ludao?"
"Hilton, oh, it's a great place to be, turn right down the street in front of you, and you'll see it at the end of the road. The middle-aged, white-bearded pedestrian said with a smile.
"Thank you. The young man thanked him, walked briskly to the intersection not far away, turned straight, and a few minutes later saw a lively resort hotel appear in front of him.
Under the pergola covered with vines, many seemingly casually dressed but tasteful tourists sit on tables and chairs made of logs, tasting dishes that match the 'otherworldly' and earthly cuisines.
Outside the pergola, a symphony orchestra is playing beautiful music, among which several violinists in tuxedos and bow ties walk into the pergola from time to time, shuttling back and forth among the diners, whenever they meet men and women dining alone, they will deliberately play a short piece of joy for them, attracting bursts of applause;
Next to the band are a dozen waiters in crisp uniforms, both men and women, all of whom appear to be very professional, and whenever a guest walks out of the brand new hotel lobby behind them, or the detached villa suites next to the lobby, they will inevitably be greeted by a person who behaves appropriately and provides quality service.
The sights Zhang Lisheng saw in his eyes were not surprising if he were in Hawaii, Guam, or any other island resort on earth, but when he paused for a moment and looked at the pedestrians on the streets behind him who looked like medieval rural city-states, he couldn't help but feel that the 'Hilton Hotel' was as unreal as a dream.
After calculating in his heart how much it would cost to make such a show on the 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island', the young man muttered, "It seems that the managers of the 'Hilton Group' have gone crazy and made such a big gamble. "Walk towards the hotel lobby.
He had just walked halfway when he suddenly heard someone shouting under the pergola: "Li Sheng, God, you are finally back, we have been waiting for you for almost forty days, come, we are here, come..."
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, Zhang Lisheng saw that in an imperceptible corner of the crowd of diners, three tall girls were waving to him at the same time, and it was Tina, Tricy and Xie Lia who hurriedly greeted him.
"I'm sorry Tina, Tricy, and Celia, I've been a little delayed in the jungle," the young man shrugged as he walked over to the girls, and found a few strangers on the log table leaning against the hotel lobby wall, "I'll tell you later, I'm sure you'll forgive me." ”
"Baby, forty days of waiting, you want me to forgive, but your reasons must be very, very good. Tina hugged Zhang Lisheng and kissed him deeply, and whispered with a smile.
"Can you forgive me if my reason is to learn how to turn forty days into 'four days'?" the youth whispered.
"Oh, you're saying you've discovered that there are 'wormholes' on this island that can travel through time and space. Tina exclaimed in a low voice.
"Of course not," Zhang Lisheng looked at the three girls surrounding him, shook his head in astonishment, and said in a low voice, "I don't have the ability to reverse time."
But lengthening life, philosophically shortening forty days tenfold, is almost possible. ”
The hints in the young man's words made Tina, Tricy, and Celia, who were very familiar with him, open their mouths at the same time.
"Isn't it dangerous, will it become a monster?" After a while, Xie Liya, who loves excitement and challenges, was the first to come back to her senses, excitedly took Zhang Lisheng's hand, and asked vigorously swaying.
"Of course, there is still a danger at present, but it has been confirmed that it will not become a monster, or at least, it can choose freely between a monster and a normal human form," Zhang Lisheng said with a smile: "In addition to a very good side effect, that is, eternal youth." ”
"You, God, are you kidding, Li Sheng?" Xie Liya could no longer suppress her ecstasy this time, and exclaimed loudly, in the eyes of this New York socialite, it is much more important to be able to stay young forever than to get several times the life expectancy.
The girl's fuss inevitably aroused the minds of the other diners, Zhang Lisheng frowned and waved his hand, made a silent movement on his mouth, and stopped talking.
At this moment, among the several strange young men and women who were sitting with Tina, Tricy, and Xie Liya at dinner, a tall boy with a bronzed complexion and a straight nose suddenly got up from his seat very enthusiastically and said, "Tina, Tricy, and Xie Liya must be the Mr. Zhang Lisheng you have been waiting for."
Don't stand and talk, I'll ask the waiter to lick a chair, let's get to know each other first..."
"Get to know you, no Robin, Li Sheng doesn't need to know you.
Hell, we have something very important to talk about, aren't you full, aren't you going to the ice cream parlor just now to talk about your boring jungle adventures, so can you get out of the way and get out of your seat.
I'm begging you. The man thought that after a few days of contact, he had already had a friendship with the three girls, and his words were also very decent, but when he heard the magic word 'eternal youth', Xie Liya, whose heart was already like being burned, broke his confidence and said arrogantly.
"Shelia, you're joking..."
"I'm not kidding, listen Robin, let's go, don't waste any more time..."Cheria was about to make another big fuss, but Tricy covered her mouth.
At this time, although it was a little far away, the waiter at the hotel's open-air restaurant noticed that a new guest seemed to be coming to the table in the corner and took the initiative to bring a chair.
As if he hadn't seen the dispute just now, Zhang Lisheng sat between Tina and Trixie, ordered three meals that could only be eaten on the 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island' and the ingredients of the 'otherworldly world' combined with the cooking skills of the French chef, and waited silently for the waiter to serve the food.
