The world of beauty drama begins with the surrender of Jason

Chapter 8 Visitors

"Why hasn't the old man come back yet..."

The next morning, there was only one person at home. Zhu Mingyao was too lazy to start making breakfast seriously. He made himself some sliced ​​bread and fried eggs to fill his stomach, and then rolled up his sleeves and cleaned the store counter.

After finishing all this, it was already three o'clock in the day. Seeing that the old man still hadn't come back, the young man was thinking about whether to call the Hualian Chamber of Commerce and ask.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Extraordinary people are also human beings, so naturally they are not exempt from the common customs. It is normal to form organizations based on race, region, inheritance and other conditions.

In the Federation, the vast majority of extraordinary people of Chinese origin are at least nominally subordinate or semi-subordinate to Hualian, the Five Continents Chinese Business Federation, and this old man of mine is no exception. During every new year and festival, Everyone will give you a gift.

And since you have this level of status, you will inevitably have to fulfill your obligations from time to time.

As the saying goes, since ancient times Confucianism has used literature to disrupt the law, and chivalrous people have used force to violate the law!
  Throughout ancient and modern times, no official at home or abroad likes the existence of uncontrolled armed organizations under their rule.

This group of outsiders with foreign skin, paganism and self-made armed forces were able to take root under the eyes of the federal government, not only because they were really tough, but also because of Hualian's gentle cooperation with the government. style.

In the eyes of the upper-level politicians, no matter how annoying this group of Chinese are, they are at least much better than those dark creatures who cannot understand human speech, and the demon cultists who are holding back big news every day.

Of course, every time there are elections at all levels, the political donations sent through various hidden channels also play a decisive role, but this is not enough for outsiders.

You see, as long as you abide by the rules of our great lighthouse country, keep your pockets strong and do as the Romans do, everyone can become a good friend.

Just like the Western proverb - the gold of the pagans is also gold.

Since one's own existence has received official approval, of course one must reciprocate the favor.

Just like when he saved himself from the cult's sacrificial ceremony.

On weekdays, he secretly conducts irregular patrols around the station, cooperates with federal special departments to combat superpower crimes, eliminate dark evil objects, and stabilize the place.

The west coast, especially the Jinzhou area, is Hualian's main sphere of influence. Normally, the manpower is relatively abundant, and it rarely works for seniors of my old man's age. After all, the old man is already over ninety years old, even among practitioners who generally have a long life. Among them, age is not considered young anymore.

Now that the old man is suddenly invited to discuss it all night, it is not difficult to guess that there may be something important over there in Hualian.

Just when Zhu Mingyao wiped his hands and was about to make a call, he heard the sound of a car coming from outside the gate.

As the welcome bell hanging at the store door rang loudly, the old man pushed the door open with a slight frown.

Zhu Mingyao hurriedly went up to take over his clothes and helped him sit down on the sofa.

Seeing the young man pouring out the hot tea that had been brewed for a long time from the thermos, Zhang Shouzhong frowned a little. He reached out and took a sip, smacking his lips.

"There's no need to be busy. The driver is waiting at the door. I'll grab some things and leave. I'll give you a few words by the way."

The old man pondered for a moment and then said:

"Well, I have some things to do at the Chamber of Commerce. Starting today, I will go to the Hualian Headquarters in San Francisco. I won't be back until the end of the month. During this time, you are at home alone. It is best to practice and don't run around. Can the store be closed first? Out of business.”

"Ok?"

Zhu Mingyao's heart moved, a look of curiosity appeared on his face, and he asked with interest:

"Is there some big scene? Can you take me to see it?"

Zhang Shouzhong rolled his eyes and said angrily:

"Go, go! Don't join in the fun, you don't know how much you weigh, do you?"

"Don't look down on me. Haven't you noticed that I feel refreshed and calm today? It's obvious that my skills have improved to a higher level?"

The young man shook his head and said with an exaggerated look as if his tail was raised to the sky.

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at it, the look of relief on his face flashed away, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his tone was a little gentler, but his words were still unforgiving.

"It's just a slight improvement, look at you! Just stay at home." Seeing that the old gentleman was determined not to allow it, Zhu Mingyao stopped pestering him and just laughed and helped pack the luggage quickly.

After bidding farewell to each other, Zhu Mingyao turned back to the house with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Looking at the situation, it's really a big deal. According to the old man's words, even several directors of Hualian will be dispatched together..."

As the largest non-governmental organization among overseas Chinese, the Hualian Chamber of Commerce is not only very wealthy and powerful, but secretly it is also full of experts. Anyone who can control the head of this old man can at least have the power of a palm.

This time they actually mobilized troops and mobilized people like this. They must have a big goal. Maybe they were going to slay some powerful monsters.

After all, judging from the information I have heard, witnessed and collected privately in the past two years, strange and weird things around the world, including the Federation, are on the rise. Even if governments of various countries try their best to cover up and appease, there are still Sightings happen from time to time, and there is a danger that a storm is coming.

It's a pity that I can't go together, otherwise I might be able to earn a lot of points.

……

A few days later in the afternoon.

"Sorry, this thing of yours is obviously wrong! I can't accept it."

Zhu Mingyao tilted his head, sitting behind the long wooden counter in the living room, pointing at the silver statuette in front of him, foaming at the mouth.

"It is true that the four arms and four arms are in the shape of the Brahmin god Brahma, but what is riding under his butt is a peacock or a swan, not a bull!
  One look at it and you can tell that it was made randomly by the person who created the statue with little knowledge. He probably thought that the gods of Tianzhu religion all ride bulls.

The material is also very different. The outer layer is made of silver, but the inner layer is probably filled with unknown alloy to save money.

You wouldn't be able to tell if you weren't careful, but he was too smart and made it too old-fashioned! There are two places that are badly worn and the color underneath is exposed. The two materials simply don’t match! "

The boy reached out and pushed the thing back.

"All in all, this is just a modern handicraft, not worth much."

His quoting from classics made the customer opposite him look depressed, so he had to pick up his things and leave angrily.

After getting over the addiction of a treasure appraisal expert, Zhu Mingyao took a sip of tea and looked at the word "Experience + 1" in the expertise column of the panel in his mind, and nodded with satisfaction.

He turned his head and glanced out the window at the setting sun that was about to fall below the horizon.

Call it a day and call it a day, and he doesn't want to make money from this. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't add points to his expertise level and could only rely on hard work to learn slowly, he wouldn't want to waste time sitting at the counter.

Walking slowly to the entrance, the young man took out a long iron hook from the corner, put it on the rolling shutter door and pulled it down hard.

Another uneventful day...

"Wait a moment!"

Along with the shouting, a series of footsteps approached quickly, and then a slightly thin hand stretched out and supported the slowly falling rolling shutter door from below.

"Slow down and be careful with your hands, Mrs. Williams."

Zhu Mingyao knew who was coming without seeing the face, just by the large bohemian-style copper bracelet on his hand.

He had no choice but to push the door open again, and looked helplessly at the white aunt in front of him who was tall and full of silver hair, but still energetic.

However, the familiar old woman didn't care about the other person's eyes. She squeezed straight into the door carrying a cardboard box and shouted angrily:

"Cute little guy, the snacks are freshly baked, eat them while they are hot!"
