I am Lapland’s rat!

If Mossetti said that he lost due to lack of planning, lack of strength, and lack of preparation, Colson would feel unwilling, regretful, and want to start over.

However, Mosedi in front of him attributed all the reasons for Coulson's failure to a beast owner!

A beast master who generally would not take action in the human world, but he had nothing to say if he did!

So Coulson just felt...powerless.

But at the same time, another sentence suddenly flashed through his mind, which ignited an anger equal to the feeling of powerlessness in his heart——

That is, why?

Why!

This kind of anger was different from the regret and shame at the beginning. At this time, Colson's brows twisted tightly involuntarily, and he felt a suppressed anger burning in his heart.

He lost because there was a beast owner on the opposite side who helped them solve all their troubles?

Yes, why is this society so unfair? He has worked hard for so many years and has been operating in Tremont for so long to reach where he is today, while those people are just born with a good child and are enough to have smart brains and With connections and financial support from the upper class, you can succeed as long as you live.

Colson's dream has been destroyed by this society, but will God wipe out even his last hope of realizing the value of his life?

He just did what everyone else would do!

Just because that company was chosen by the beast owner, and he was just a child of a pioneer without any background, everything he did was of no value. He was destined to become a stepping stone for Rhine Life to become famous!

"—"

Coulson's hands on the table were already clenched into fists, and his body was trembling slightly.

"...What if I said, there is still a chance? The Beast Master is just immortal, not omnipotent."

At this time, Mosedi, who was standing aside, sighed and said.

Coulson's head shot up.

Chapter 243 Calm Everyday Life

……

In the next two days, Wu Xian rarely had any leisure time.

In the past two days, the beach umbrella movement has ceased, and no further action has been taken either in public opinion or in secret.

Even if Quinn didn't call, the fact that Rudolph was arrested by the prosecutor's office on suspicion of major corruption crimes could already be seen in the news.

Staff from the Procuratorate came to the door and said that they were reviewing some of Rudolph's confessions about unjust, false, and wrongful convictions and sent them back for retrial.Since the theft case of Rheinland Life's surgery unit has not been closed and is still under investigation, it has the opportunity to be used as a typical publicity case for the Procuratorate. Therefore, the Public Security Bureau is quickly deploying personnel and rearranging the investigation process.

As for the fire cases, the task force responsible for investigating the disaster areas has been mired in the quagmire. They can't find any trace of the pyromancer. On the contrary, the search of the fire ruins always allows them to find some controls that should not be there. thing.

The second batch of equipment and exhibits prepared for the Achievements Exhibition have also arrived in Saint-Sophie City. At present, the second Achievements Exhibition has begun to be vigorously promoted, not only in Saint-Sophie City, but also in the media in Tremont. You can see the report of the achievement exhibition.

This is probably because the first achievement exhibition was so effective.

Now, the attention of all parties has gradually focused on Saint-Sophie City. The day after tomorrow, the last batch of exhibits and Rheinland Life exhibitors will board the convoy to Saint-Sophie City at the same time, leaving only an empty shell of the headquarters in the office building. .

Wu Xian will probably go to St. Sophie City with Kristen and others. By then, he will be able to return to Lapland with news of victory.

……

Everything is ready, just waiting for the results to show.

Although he didn't know what actions Coulson and Quinn had warned about the secret Mosetti, Wu Xian guessed that if the two of them hadn't given up yet, they would have been able to do the same as they did in the first session. Zhan took action that day.

But having said that, Wu Xian didn't believe that with Lapland around, there were still enemies who could successfully break through Silver Wolf Security's defense.

Didn’t you see that at first they were all trying to steal the calcified magic unit while Lapland was away?

Lapland is invincible!

……

Today is the weekend.

In the morning, Wu Xian lazily got up from the sofa at home and went to the restaurant.

On the dining table, Texas had prepared a sandwich and juice for him for breakfast - the latter was bottled NFC juice bought in the supermarket.

Beside the dining table, a gray-haired girl who had also slept in was expressionlessly chewing her sandwich in one hand and reading a popular novel in the other.

Of course she wouldn't be so relaxed if Lapland was at home.

But it doesn't matter now.

The lighting in the apartment is not very good. Although the sun is shining brightly outside, the light in the restaurant located inside is still equivalent to the brightness when the lights are turned on at night. It does not appear vibrant, but has a sense of leisure.

"woke up?"

Texas glanced at Wu Xian, then turned his attention back to the book.

Wu Xian wagged his tail, used his paws to pull off the wet wipes placed on the table and wiped his paws, then pulled the porcelain plate with sandwiches on the table in front of him.

"Speaking of which, Duccio's novels are quite popular in the market recently."

Wu Xian was thinking about how he should pick up the sandwich, while Texas on the side did not raise his head and said casually while chewing the sandwich.

"Ok?"

Wu Xian blinked and looked at Texas curiously.

"Two Mercenaries" written by Ducci was officially released through a publisher found in Texas more than three months ago. However, Wu Xian is tired of reading with his paws, so even now he can read it without any problems. Syracuse, and did not read the masterpieces of this super follower.

It is said that when Texas went to the publishing house with Duccio's manuscript, the publisher's editor almost immediately agreed to publish the book, even though Duccio was a pen name he had never heard of.

After going through various publishing and translation processes, "Two Mercenaries" was published first in Tremont and then in surrounding cities.Several sample books sent back by the publishing house were placed in Silver Wolf Security by Texas, and they are still popular reading among employees today.

Wu Xian's knowledge of the content of this book was limited to chats between employees. It seemed that this book was not a revenge drama centered around misunderstandings as Wu Xian had imagined after briefly reading it in the car. , but a heroic epic that explores the weight of friendship, the meaning of loyalty, the contradiction between self-realization and the environment, and the inevitable connection between people and society.

Moreover, the plot of this book is very down-to-earth. The protagonist Evans cross-dressed and sneaked into the royal court but unexpectedly won the favor of the princess. He was attacked while concealing his identity and rescued civilians. He used wisdom to resolve the crises that destroyed the city. It has always been a favorite. A story that employees talk about a lot.His relationship with the other mercenary in the title is both friend and foe, and their fates are intertwined throughout the novel.

"..."

Texas chewed the sandwich. After a while, his throat moved, and he swallowed the food before saying:

"The publishing house sent me news a few days ago that the sales volume of "Two Mercenaries" has almost exceeded [-] copies. The publishing house has reprinted it several times, and some pirated copies have even begun to circulate on the intercity network."

Wu Xian shook his beard.

That's really amazing. You have to know that even on Earth, a novel only needs to sell more than [-] copies per year to be called a best-selling novel.

And this is Terra, whose population is much smaller than that of Earth!

"Does Du Qiao know?"

Wu Xian wrote with his paws.

"I don't know." Texas said expressionlessly, "Why do you want to tell him this? If he is no longer interested in working, Lapland's father will be angry."

Wu Xian: "..."

Yes.

……

After that, Wu Xian and Dezhou chatted casually and finished their breakfast at eleven o'clock in the morning.

There was nothing to do before the day after tomorrow, even after breakfast. Texas originally wanted to stay at home and read novels, but as soon as he finished eating, a girl who had not appeared for a long time knocked on the door of the apartment.

"Chelinina! Go shopping with me!"

The gray-haired Luper girl, whose appearance was [-]% similar to Texas, but [-]% younger than Texas, stood outside the door with a smile and her hands behind her back.

Wu Xian, squatting on the dining table, blinked:

"Hey, isn't this Sophia?"

It's been a long time indeed. I heard that she was taking exams in the past week and she must have finished them now.

Seeing that Texas was about to be pulled into the bright sunshine by Sophia, and he was the only rat left crawling around in the darkness at home, Wu Xian quickly raised his paw to indicate that he too wanted to go with him.

Chapter 244 The Shopping Demon

As one of the most prosperous cities in Colombia, Tremon's garden district in the city center certainly has a commercial street.

Three stops away from Tremont Polytechnic University, there is a large commercial district spanning two blocks. It has always been a good place for Tremont citizens to relax, spend their free time, and find delicious food.

Today is the weekend after all. When Texas and Sophia brought Wu Xian to the vicinity of the business district, they could see from the sidewalk that the traffic on the surrounding roads had begun to become crowded. It is estimated that in a while, the artery of this city will Become blocked into embolism.

There were many people on the pedestrian street, but Sophia naturally had no social fear at all. She smiled and took Dex around, sometimes looking at expensive jewelry, sometimes looking at clothes in high-end brand stores, and encouraging Dex on the side. Si tries them on one by one.

Texas, on the other hand, responded with expressionless vengeance. She was not a nerd who didn't know how to dress up, and she didn't go out shopping simply to cater to Sophia's preferences. Soon the two sisters would walk down the street. I tasted all the dressing rooms on the first street.

Wu Xian looked at this scene and found it very strange.

It was also the first time for him to go shopping with Texas and Sophia. When Dorothy was still here, almost all of his free time was used to study with Dorothy. After that, Sophia seemed to be busy with her studies. Wu Xian had to train the rats and be responsible for acting as a "spiritual promotion device" in the daily training of Silver Wolf security, so he had no time to participate in the daily activities of the two sisters.

Moreover, this little guy Sophia obviously wants to enjoy the world of two people with her sister. Wu Xian is also a rat who has listened to her voice. If he follows, wouldn't he just be a light bulb?

But then again, if you don’t follow it in person, you won’t know whether you are a light bulb or a part of the game.

——This is of course a joke, but it is obvious that Sophia and Texas have not changed the way they get along because of Wu Xian's presence.

Most of the time, Sophia would always hold Texas's arm. When she saw something she was interested in, she would point her white fingers to the corresponding position and loudly communicate her thoughts to her sister.

In response to this, Texas's response was generally very dull. On the surface, Wu Xian could not see any emotional ups and downs in Texas.

But even so, Sophia still happily took Texas shopping and repeated the above actions.

"It's beautiful."

Wu Xian followed them. Although Sophia and Texas only occasionally paid attention to him and asked Wu Xian's opinion, Shushu still felt that he had been cured.

"It's hard to imagine that in the original world line, Sophia could become Sophia-chan so easily."

……

By noon, Sofia and Texas's two-person walking race finally came to an end.

There happened to be an empty seat under the street trees on the pedestrian street. Sophia, with quick eyes and quick hands, pulled Texas to sit on the wooden bench.

The green street trees overhead cast some shade for the pedestrians resting below. Wu Xian, who always wandered between the air-conditioned room and the stove, was able to jump between Sofia and Texas and take a breath.

Still hot.

Another day when I want to take off my down jacket.

but……

Wu Xian looked at Sophia and Texas and found that they were both still in high spirits and did not carry anything in their hands except their own small bag.

That's right.

They shopped for so long and bought nothing.

However, there was no difference between the two of them. Sophia put her little hands on the stool, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile:

"Chelinina, where are you going to eat for lunch?"

"Ask Little Silver." Texas thought for a second and said.

Wu Xian was very satisfied with this respect. He thought for a while, waved his paws, and wrote on the chair:

"I'm not hungry yet."

Texas: "..."

Of course Sophia can understand Syracuse, and she seemed a little surprised when Wu Xian said this.

But then Sofia seemed to understand something. The girl blinked her eyes, and then said with some laughter:

"Chelinina, when I arrive, you won't have just finished breakfast, right?"

Texas: "No. ...It's been 10 minutes since I finished eating."

Texas turned his eyes aside and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the bustling pedestrian street.

"It's really like Chelinina's style of staying in bed..." Sofia complained, and then laughed,

"Then let's go shopping for a while? To be honest, after shopping around just now, I still think the sapphire necklace I saw at the first store is the most beautiful."

"Then let's try again."

Texas had nothing to do with his sister's demands. They took Wu Xian with them, stood up, and walked in the direction they came.

Wu Xian walked at their feet with small steps and realized.
