Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 534
[Chapter 531: Life Story]
Cheng Le’er said it was an ordinary family dinner, but David felt it was not ordinary. Cheng Le’er’s father looked at him strangely, which reminded him of Gwen’s father, Chief George Stacy.
Fortunately, Cheng Le’er’s father is not the police chief, and Hong Kong is not a place where anyone can carry a gun.
So David doesn’t have to worry about the other side suddenly taking out a gun and hitting him in the face halfway through the meal.
The meal was a bit dull. After finishing the meal quietly, David left immediately.
Mr. Cheng asked the driver to send David back to the apartment, and he stopped his daughter who wanted to send David back together. He was worried that his daughter would send him out directly.
After decades of ups and downs in the business world, Mr. Cheng, who has seen everything, is confident in his vision. This young man named David, his daughter is afraid that she can’t control it…
David didn’t know what Mr. Cheng and Cheng Le’er talked about specifically. After a dinner that was not good or not, he returned to his home in Tianxiahui. David directly picked up Sophia and gave him a dessert after the meal. I
‘ve been out for a while, and I miss her.
After two hours of small activities, David and Sophia talked about what happened recently.
David only then knew that something happened in Manhanlou during his trip to Europe. A man named Huang Rong set up a trap to trick Boss Ou, almost making Boss Ou angry to death.
Fortunately, Sophia was beside him and secretly used some tricks to save Boss Ou’s life.
Because Huang Rong asked Manhanlou to compete in the Manhan Banquet, Boss Ou was ill again. Sophia followed Ou Jiahui and Zhao Gangsheng to find Long Kunbao for help. After learning that Long Kunbao did not know how to make the Manhan Banquet, they went to find Liao Jie.
“But that chef Liao Jie hasn’t cooked for a long time. Now his physical fitness and perception are all very bad. The yellow croaker soup he made before, wow~ the taste.” Sophia thought for a long time, but couldn’t think of a suitable metaphor. In the end, she could only say: “It’s not as good as mine!”
“…”
Liao Jie is one of the top chefs in the entire Chinese food circle, but Sophia evaluated him as not as good as herself who had just learned to cook not long ago. The degree of regression can be imagined.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became curious. How bad is it?
“Is Manhanlou closed now?”
“Everyone has run away. There are only me, Jiahui and Gangsheng left in the whole Manhanlou.” There are only two or three cats, and none of them can be a chef. How can they open the business?
The rest of them were bribed by Huang Rong and all ran away.
“Hehe, this Huang Rong is obviously a businessman, but he always wants to prove that he is a great chef. On the one hand, he issued a challenge as if he wanted a fair duel, and secretly he kept all kinds of shady tricks. He is really a double-faced person.”
David always despised such people.
However, if there is fun to watch, let this guy jump around for a few more days.
Afterwards, David told Sophia about his experience. When he heard that David had killed another zombie, Sophia curiously asked David if he had any wonderful gains.
Since he found that killing zombies and evil spirits can obtain negative energy, and can use it to perfectly master shadow, death, and evil power, David told Sophia about this.
After killing Domoto Shingo this time, David not only felt that he could “bear” more negative energy, but also had more wonderful changes in his body.
“What has it become?”
“It feels like standing in the perspective of God and watching Brunnia.”
As long as he sinks into the depths of his mind, David can see Brunnia and many different worlds including this world.
From this perspective, the Xiangjiang world he is currently in is very far away from Brunnia, much farther than the bubble that symbolizes Azeroth and the Marvel Universe, but it is approaching quickly.
In addition, he can feel that if he continues to go further, he can even directly influence and even interfere with these worlds through his own thoughts.
“So powerful?”
“Maybe after a while, I can directly merge this world with Brunnia into one world, and then “place” the entire Xiangjiang in any position in Brunnia.”
David looked at Sophia: “What do you think of placing Xiangjiang next to Tiran Port?”
“Why not directly integrate Xiangjiang into Tiran Port and turn it into a city.” Anyway, Tiran Port is still in its infancy. If Xiangjiang can be integrated into it, it is equivalent to directly getting a large port city. How much effort can this save?
Sophia also thought of another question, can David use this method to “build” Brunnia in the future?
“No, there are too many hidden dangers.”
He didn’t even think about whether to do it this time. If he really wanted to move a city there, the problems that needed to be solved could not be explained in two or three sentences.
One or two exceptions occasionally are fine, but too many would only cause trouble for himself.
As he was talking, David found that Sophia was no longer talking. He looked at her strangely. He thought she was asleep, but she was staring at him with her eyes wide open.
“What’s wrong?”
“I just feel that you seem to be getting further and further away from ordinary people.” Listening to David’s description, Sophia suddenly felt that maybe one day, David would disappear out of thin air.
“I’m not an ordinary person!” David rubbed Sophia’s hair with his hand, and completely rubbed her already messy hair into a bird’s nest: “Can ordinary people be so powerful? Take you to different worlds to play?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“I know!” David reached down and grabbed it hard: “Don’t think about those illusory things. I’m not an ordinary person, and you’re not an ordinary person either, so we have enough time to get along.”
As for the future? No one knows what the future will be like. Even if we can foresee the future, it is only one of countless possibilities, not an absolute.
So it is useless to dwell on these things, just enjoy the present!
Sophia hummed twice, adjusted to a comfortable position, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep. Seeing this, David also closed his eyes to rest.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside, and Sophia was making pancakes beside him.
“What are you doing?”
“I can’t sleep.”
“If you can’t sleep, get up!”
“I don’t want to get up.”
“…”
David got up to wash up, and then Sophia, who had been tossing and turning, gave up and got up to wash up.
Washing the face and brushing teeth are obviously things that can be solved with a small magic trick. Neither of them cast a magic trick, thinking that washing up together like this is more like life.
Then they got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. David took Sophia to the tea restaurant called Sheng Ji again. He
unexpectedly met Hu Huishan here.
“Ashan is here for breakfast too?” They shared a table. David noticed that Hu Huishan was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday: “You didn’t just come back from the police station, did you?”
“This report was not easy to write. I was busy until late at night and just rested at the police station.” Hu Huishan had to go to the training base to check on the situation of the female boss today. She planned to go home to wash up and change clothes, and take breakfast before going upstairs.
At this time, the boss of Shengji came over with egg tarts and sat next to Hu Huishan: “Ashan, are these two your friends?”
“Yes, this is David, my neighbor, and this is Sophia.”
“This is Wang Ermei, the boss of Shengji.”
“Just call me Ermeijie, the neighbors and regular customers call me that.” Ermeijie looked at David and was amazed at his appearance. He didn’t look very old, so he should be about the same age as Sanyuan, right?
Looking at Sophia next to him, she knew that Sanyuan was definitely out of the game.
But her target was not these two. She was concerned about Hu Huishan next to her.
When she noticed the unfamiliar face of Hu Huishan, she came up to chat for a few words. When she learned that Hu Huishan had just moved to the neighborhood not long ago, she became more enthusiastic.
When she learned that Hu Huishan was 30 years old and unmarried, she immediately went to the kitchen to get out the egg tarts and took the opportunity to make a phone call to call her uncle who was sleeping in at home to come down for dinner.
“How is your company going?”
“It’s been renovated. Do you want to visit it?”
“Next time, I’m going to the training center in a while.”
“Is it the weekend today?”
“My job doesn’t have a fixed day off.”
The second sister looked at David and Hu Huishan chatting very familiarly, and felt that the two people didn’t seem to be ordinary neighbors.
In addition, this girl named Sophia, can’t understand Chinese?
Just thinking about this, I saw Sophia holding the menu and skillfully ordering breakfast.
“…”
The second sister looked around and always felt that the relationship between these three people was a little abnormal.
When she was thinking about what was going on, her uncle finally came, and she didn’t expect that her daughters were following him.
“Why are you taking so long to come down?”
“I washed and dressed as quickly as I could after receiving the call, and I also called Sanyuan, Sixi, and Wufu down for you. How can you be so slow?” “
I asked you to come down, why did you call them?”
“That’s right, I finally had a weekend to sleep in, but I messed it up.” The girl with short hair looked unhappy, and she was even more unhappy when she heard that her mother didn’t even want to call them.
“Anyway, you’re all down, have breakfast and go back to sleep!” The tall, strong, and slightly anxious man with a lot of hair didn’t take the girls’ complaints seriously at all, and asked the second sister with a smile: “What’s the matter that’s so urgent that I have to come down? Was Sheng Ji robbed?”
“Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? I asked you to come down so that you can meet Miss Hu, but it seems that you don’t have much chance!”
“What Miss Hu?” The tall and strong man looked around and soon noticed Hu Huishan and others who were looking over here, and recognized Hu Huishan’s identity at a glance.
“Superintendent Hu, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“You are…Inspector Chen from the Armaments Identification Department.”
