"Okay, don't be so embarrassed. I'll treat you and buy you something, okay? It's like I'm starving you every day."
Although he was not in a good mood, Shar-Pei's face did not show any dissatisfaction. Seeing his sister's smiling face, he could not help but smile. At this time, the voice in the earphone was preaching,
"Although cilantro is a very common seasoning, the Dark Knights have never eaten it in Camitlan. They basically only eat the official distribution of time. Some plant species were also missing during the war, so they really haven't eaten it."
"Sha Pei's sister, we all call her Kingfisher. She's particularly interested in food. She's a bit like you, with a lot of mood swings outside of work, but hers are much more extreme than yours. Normally, she's pretty depressed, just like before. Don't let her scare you, she's actually very easy to get along with."
The poet's voice slowly spread, and Bai Lin understood it, but didn't reply. The atmosphere was still immersed in the joyful after-get off work supper.
Soon, four bowls of ramen were served. Although Bai Lin wasn't used to it, she politely said to the owner, "I'm starting," and her every move once again attracted the owner's attention. Meanwhile, Kingfisher scooped a handful of cilantro from the mountain of her bowl, scooped it up with a light spoon, and sprinkled it into Bai Lin's bowl of soup.
"This is a thank you gift!"
The other person's words were pure and innocent. To be frank, he looked innocent at an age that allowed him to be innocent. Bai Lin smiled politely, then quickly picked up the coriander from the bowl and said,
"As a master, I've already eaten quite a bit, so I'll let my apprentice have a taste this time."
As she spoke, she scattered all the cilantro into Xiao Nuo's bowl. Xiao Nuo was filled with doubt as she watched Bai Lin, who looked at her with a kind face and turned back to her. However, since Bai Lin hadn't touched his chopsticks, she didn't pay much attention to his behavior. She picked up the cilantro and put it in her mouth. The next moment, her expression immediately became distorted, and her chewing behavior turned into twitching, as if she was about to spit out the contents of her mouth.
It's no secret that some people don't like cilantro, or even hate it. This is a genetic difference that determines some people's dislike for it, causing them physical discomfort. Our little Nuo is clearly one of these people.
Bai Lin quickly raised her finger and stood in front of the other person. The smile on her face seemed to be even brighter, but it seemed... more like a cruel warning, as if saying,
"If you reveal it here, I will kill you."
Xiao Nuo didn't know why, but was intimidated by Bai Lin for a moment. She forced herself to eat it, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. However, Bai Lin's intimidation remained undiminished.
"Speak, speak!"
Xiao Nuo wiped the corners of his eyes, as if he was moved to tears, and said,
“It’s delicious, it’s really delicious!”
"Yeah! Congratulations, you have great taste."
Kingfisher raised his hands and responded excitedly, looking very satisfied with Xiao Nuo's reaction. Bai Lin's humble behavior seemed to give her a deeper understanding of Bai Lin.
As for Bai Lin, he gave Xiao Nuo a look, halting her attempt to imitate Bai Lin's method and give the coriander back. Only then did Xiao Nuo react.
I fuck you, it turns out you're the one who doesn't even like to eat this xx and you're forcing it on me to torture me!
That's right, our Bai Lin, since her previous life, has refused to eat coriander pie. Even though she has changed her body now and can eat it naturally and smoothly, she still refuses to eat it. This trick of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha is a trick that Bai Lin has played.
After much deliberation, Xiao Nuo, looking at Bai Lin's secretly smug expression, grew increasingly angry. She gritted her teeth, ate all the cilantro in one gulp, and forcefully swallowed it, leaving Bai Lin stunned. Then, taking advantage of this distraction, she reached under the table and punched Bai Lin.
Suddenly, Bai Lin's stomach hurt, and he made a strange sound. His expression was not much better than Xiao Nuo's. Xiao Nuo snorted, turned his head, and started eating his noodles. As for the other two, they asked with concern,
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"...It's nothing. I'm probably just too hungry. I can't handle eating too much at once. I'll be fine after a while."
Fortunately, Bai Lin had his back to the two of them, so they couldn't tell what was going on. So they didn't say anything. Bai Lin leaned close to Xiao Nuo's ear and whispered,
"Isn't that a bit harsh?"
"You still have the nerve to say that?!"
Xiao Nuo immediately hit back, saying this. Bai Lin had completely recovered his composure, casually patted the other person on the back, then looked at the other two, opened the topic, and asked,
"Sha Pei, Kingfisher just called you brother, right? Is she really your sister? Why doesn't she look like her at all?"
Indeed, although Kingfisher looked older than Bai Lin and had already surpassed the category of a young girl, her skin was fair and tender, and she looked very young. Her temperament was completely different from that of Shar Pi. Shar Pi sighed and replied,
"If you want to insult me, just say it. She is indeed my sister, but not my biological daughter."
Chapter 908 You also picked up the sister
"Back when she was in the village, she must have been abandoned by someone from the next village or somewhere. My father and I found her when we were out hunting. She's such a hungry little girl, and that made our already poor family even worse off. Luckily, she's a quick learner and a capable person."
Shar-Pei smiled slightly and ate the noodles in the bowl. Kingfisher raised a finger and said to Shar-Pei seriously,
"This statement is too subjective. It should be said that those who can afford it should eat more."
"Okay, okay, you're right."
On one side, a master and apprentice are enjoying themselves, and on the other, a brother and sister are enjoying themselves. The four people sitting here seem to have met by some strange coincidence, but it is precisely because this world is made up of coincidences that it is so interesting.
"By the way, Holy Son, can you tell me what Camelan looks like now? There must be a lot of delicious food, right? I really want to hear it!"
"Okay! Actually, I ate a lot of good food here on the way to your place. If you want to hear it, we have plenty of time to talk."
"Really? That's great!"
A warm evening conversation began. The light emanating from this small ramen shop seemed even warmer than the neon city lights hanging in the distance. Everyone chatted and laughed, chatting about everything.
During this time, although Xiao Nuo didn't seem that interested, Bai Lin still dragged her in from time to time. In the end, she also changed from smiling uncontrollably at the beginning to letting go and immersing herself in it.
Shar-Pei also seemed to have his own unique perspective on food, and he was eager to express it. He particularly shared his experiences, using local ingredients and traditional cooking methods. However, due to environmental constraints, adventurers of Bai Lin's era generally had more portable alternatives. So, while lamenting being "outdated," he also felt a certain curiosity about new things.
Of course, there was a problem. They seemed to be talking a bit too much. After all, this ramen stand was owned by a local, and the owner wasn't a fool. Listening to what everyone was saying, he was confused, but he understood everything...
Has he heard too much?
Although the four of them were chatting happily, two of them were wearing hoods and the other two were wearing sunglasses, which made them look increasingly suspicious and dangerous. The boss didn't know what was going to happen to him, but he had a vague premonition, a very dangerous premonition, so he didn't dare to move. Until Bai Lin looked at the sky and said,
"It's getting late, let's go back and report. We'll have plenty of opportunities to talk later. Boss, it's time to pay the bill."
"Oh, okay. Using a chip card, right? Just a moment."
Just as the boss bent down to pick something up, he suddenly felt a massive pressure pinning him to the ground, leaving him on his knees, unable to move. He was quickly restrained, powerless to resist, and his joints ached intensely from the pressure. It was Xiao Nuo who was holding him down, having reached the back of the stall before she'd finished. She wiped her mouth with a hot towel and casually draped her hands over her body.
Bai Lin also came around from the other side and squatted in front of the boss.
"Sandlodi de Jolson, you must be curious about how we found you. No one in this entire city would have known you were running a ramen stand in a place like this just for fun. So how did you get caught?"
"You're amazing. While keeping all data confidential and everything perfect, you've even turned the ramen stall explosion into a self-defense tool to protect your life. But we won't let you use it either."
"You...then why do you know this? What do you want?"
The boss's hood was removed, revealing a cow's head, and the original feeling was gone. Bai Lin shrugged and took a thing from Shar Pei's hand that seemed to be something they had just touched tonight. He pointed one end at the computer he had taken from somewhere and stabbed the other end into the boss's neck.
The boss suddenly let out a painful roar, and his body twitched, and a silver-white light began to appear in his eyes. Bai Lin drank another mouthful of noodle soup, typing on the keyboard while making,
"It's hard for me to answer the previous question. It's too complicated to explain. Just think of it as the message I'm sending right now."
Bai Lin used the other party's account to set up a scheduled blog post. The content was a photo of the boss in his current state, and wrote that his body was hidden inside the ramen stall.
"We are beyond your expectations, but more than just beyond your expectations. Just consider it... a punishment from heaven."
Let alone some boss secretly opening a business in such a place, it would be difficult for ordinary people in this world to know where the boss is staying today. But if they grasped the "first location" like Bai Lin and the others did tonight, and physically broke through the social class, everything would be as simple as the lower class.
Who was doing what, where, how to approach, how to kill them, how to use them, everything seemed transparent. Especially in front of a fortune teller like the poet, who was like a cheat to obtain information, the entire city's information defenses were useless.
Furthermore, the power of Bai Lin and his group was already somewhat unstoppable, so it was not wrong to call it a heavenly punishment.
Blood splattered on Bai Lin's face. She smashed his neck, preserving his facial features while preventing him from moving. Then she reached into her pocket and tossed out what looked like a small speaker, placing it next to him. She then took out the chip that Ivan and his team had stolen that day and installed it.
"After you've carried the bodies, pack up. You won't be responsible for the explosion timing. Xiao Nuo and I will handle it."
Obviously, if they wanted to kill someone important, they had to employ some appropriate tactics. Leaving aside the person who kicked the hot air balloon, Bai Lin had also replicated and simulated the fox's vital signs when killing it. And now, this person employed a combination of interference and timed explosions, allowing them to immediately communicate the deaths of these individuals.
For each person who was killed, the corresponding props were obtained from different places and then properly handled. The poet's plan was perfect and seamless.
Chapter 909: Full
In this kind of city, her abilities were fully demonstrated, and those who carried out the mission also performed very well.
"Haa ...
The evening breeze blew, and the crowd standing on the dim street under the neon lights listened to Kingfisher's words to Bai Lin, which seemed to be a response, but not quite a response. Bai Lin also smiled gently and replied,
"Let's go back and rest."
-
Back at the base, everyone immediately began to reorganize. The bald, strong man who was in charge of long-term remote guidance in the base very gently served a cup of coffee to the four people and said,
"Thank you for your hard work, covert operations aren't really my strong suit. Great job everyone!"
Looking at the other person's size and listening to his low and gentle voice, Bai Lin didn't find it too strange. She nodded.
"Everyone has their strengths. They say that in a head-on battle, you're like a mountain moving, unstoppable. I'm looking forward to seeing you perform."
"Hahaha, no, no, I don't deserve it."
The burly man looked a bit honest, and when Bai Lin replied, his face was full of joy that he couldn't hide. Bai Lin chuckled a few times, and suddenly stretched out his hand from behind, holding a bag, and swung it in front of him.
"Clang clang! You didn't expect that after the poet took over the communications, we brought you some midnight snacks! Come on, eat them quickly, or your noodles will clump together easily. The ramen at this stall is really good."
"Oh yeah, where's the poet? Where is she now?"
"I'm debugging your mecha's plug-in port. I know you don't like fancy functions, so I've simplified them as much as possible. I've combined all the functions that can be combined."
After asking this question, the poet came out. She was still wearing a mask, so her expression could not be seen. However, from the fact that she had a cup of coffee in her hand, it could be seen that she was not too busy. All the work was proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Son, as planned, we didn't deploy the mecha today. We've reserved ample time for maintenance. However, as for the upgrades, since you only just got the parts today, we still need to speed up the work. Have you already packed the things you were going to give me in advance?"
"Well, I leave it to you."
Bai Lin took out an extended suitcase from his backpack, which seemed to be filled with a mess of things. The poet took it easily, nodded, and said to the remaining three people,
"Ju Men, go eat first. Kingfisher and Shar Pei, help me with some things. In an hour, you will start the Phase 2 mission. The remaining two, you can rest freely."
"What?! Still working!!"
Kingfisher looked very shocked, and the dark circles under her eyes seemed to have deepened. Shar-Pei held his forehead and said,
"Haven't I told you several times? Just listen to the work arrangements..."
Just like that, the makeshift group disbanded. As the one taking care of the overall situation, the poet seemed incredibly efficient. Reliable, calm, and everything was planned perfectly. And this time, Bai Lin, acting as a thug rather than the backbone, felt a different vibe.
"Why are you standing there? Aren't you going to take a rest?"
Xiao Nuo, who was standing next to Bai Lin, asked suddenly. Bai Lin came out of his otherworldly state and replied unhappily,
"Xiumao, are you sleepy? Let's go do something else."
Bai Lin then took Xiao Nuo to the backstage of the lounge. He picked up two things from the drinks counter, poured them into the cocktail shaker, and began to shake it.
"...You can also mix drinks?"
Xiao Nuo looked at Bai Lin with some suspicion. She had never heard her master know this trick. But Bai Lin was dressed properly and looked really like the real thing when he was serious. She was still curious, but her curiosity was answered the next second.
"Coke with wine lees, Long Island Iced Tea, anyone can make it. Add some ice, it's sweet and alcoholic, and it's incredibly refreshing."
"I have a general idea of the poet's itinerary. She'll be back in her resting room in three minutes to pack. I'll finish it now and place this glass of wine by her bedside. She'll see it then, perfectly presented. A small drink will help soothe your fatigue."
Listening to Bai Lin's introduction, Xiao Nuo couldn't help but say speechlessly,
"Shouldn't hot milk be used to relieve fatigue? This is the first time I've seen alcohol served to people at work."
"Tsk, what do you know? What bard wouldn't like to drink? I've been traveling with her for so long, I already know what she's like. Besides, she's not sleeping, so why is she drinking hot milk? Are you trying to hypnotize her?"
Bai Lin finished her hand movements. She didn't set the glass up specially, but instead added large chunks of ice and casually wrote a playful little label on the glass: "Drink while it's cold."
As for why Bai Lin didn't give the poet the dwarves' wine she had stored, it was because Bai Lin had to eat all the wine herself. She certainly didn't hesitate to get what she could from the bar owner. Even when it came to caring for others, Bai Lin seemed to have her own "special way."
Watching Bai Lin's actions, Xiao Nuo seemed to understand a little. His master's words were always easy to understand and straightforward, and her actions seemed to be similar. Perhaps such a neat and tidy person was indeed the most compatible with poets.
After delivering the drinks, Bai Lin leaned on the bar door and came in.
"Why don't you leave? Do you want a drink too? Children can't drink."
"Who said anything about drinking...and I'm an adult, okay?"
Xiao Nuo refuted Bai Lin's words. Bai Lin walked in with an open mind, holding an orange juice in his left hand and a bottle of unknown wine in his right hand, and said,
"Drink if you want. It's the same for us. It's okay to just relax and refresh yourself. You, I guess you've never had a drink before? How about a little first?"
Before Xiao Nuo could respond, a small cup of strong liquor mixed with highly concentrated orange juice was handed to her. She was a little surprised, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say no to Bai Lin again, but her body inexplicably reached out and took the cup. Then, she drank it all.
"How about it?"
"...It tastes almost like juice, except with the added flavor of alcohol. It does have a unique feel when you drink it, not bad."
Xiao Nuo expressed his thoughts frankly, and Bai Lin nodded slightly, poured himself a cup, and then slowly replied to Xiao Nuo,
Chapter 910 is very complicated, but not too complicated
"Actually, cocktail making is incredibly complex. For an amateur like me, I'm too lazy to even memorize the recipe, let alone create something original."
"But if you want alcohol, just pour a strong liquor that doesn't have much flavor preference. If you want orange flavor, just add orange juice. This simple principle is something everyone can learn. If you think it's good, you can try it yourself."
After hearing this, Xiao Nuo just shook his head and replied,
