The first thing Charlotte yelled to Lu Cheng after she walked into the portal was "Close the door!"
Lu Cheng also listened to the groundhog's words once, threw a business card over, and closed the portal before Master Winnie and Aor could react.
Now Lu Cheng thinks that Charlotte must have reached puberty, so she started to rebel against her parents and planned to run away from home.
Charlotte's behavior after that was just like every other child who ran away from home. Soon after entering the camp, she became autistic and played with her phone.
The portal leads to the lounge of the liaison command center, which has air conditioning, heating, and a temporary bed for sleep.
Charlotte, in her groundhog state, just sat on her bed and looked at her phone.
"Don't you want to change back into human form first?" Lu Cheng pulled a chair and sat in front of Charlotte and asked.
Lu Cheng had no idea what the current situation of the Gemansis Secret Society was, but it was obvious that Charlotte was planning to run away from home.
"Change back into a human? Wait a minute..." Charlotte only now realized that she was in the state of a groundhog. When the inscription appeared on her body, it quickly disappeared.
Charlotte remembered that the clothes she was wearing were still in Yuannan! She turned into a human body in front of Lu Cheng, and she was completely naked!
"You...what do you want to do!?"
Charlotte realized this and shielded her chest with her little paws.
"I'm not interested in children's bodies. Wait for a few more years of growth before being shy in front of me." Lu Cheng took out a set of autumn clothes from the portal.
Lu Cheng had just estimated Charlotte's body shape. She had the typical body shape of a child, about 1.54 meters tall, a head slightly taller than Noy.
"Knock on the door and tell me when you're dressed, and don't wander around this place."
After Lu Cheng put the clothes on the bed, he left the lounge first, leaving Charlotte like a groundhog lying in a daze on the bed.
The two members of the expedition team gathered outside the lounge door.
"Captain Lu, why don't you teleport the two members of the Secret Society here as well?"
Tang Hui asked with some confusion. Charlotte was obviously a minor, and Master Winnie should be considered her temporary guardian.
"They have been transferred here, but not here. They are people who need to be monitored, so they are in the temporary custody room. The job of taking care of them is left to you." After Lu Cheng issued this task, although Tang Hui still had many questions, he still accepted the order.
Tang Hui may know more about the current complicated situation in Far South than Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng now needs to find out from Charlotte... what the Secret Society wants to do.
Lu Cheng stood outside the door waiting for nearly half an hour, but Charlotte showed no sign of knocking on the door, but her magical perception was still inside the portal.
When Charlotte walked through the portal, Lu Cheng was sure that Charlotte's titles were not jokes, at least the title of the Crystal Daughter was real.
It only takes about one energy coin for Lucheng to teleport an ordinary Chinese person. For Elena, it takes three energy coins. Lucheng consumed nearly ten energy coins for Master Winnie. As for Charlotte... one teleportation cost Lucheng almost three hundred and twenty energy coins!
More than 300! This is enough to buy a cargo ship or more than a dozen Dongfeng heavy trucks for the king from Xiu Enzhe!
Lucheng now has 7,210 energy coins. The construction of the original camp has instantly reduced the number of Lucheng's energy coins to about 4,000.
But some time ago, the king from Xiu Enzhe gritted his teeth and spent three thousand energy coins to buy a steel plant from Rabbit.
There was only one blueprint for the steel mill, but the old king directly paid in advance with energy coins. Half of the two hundred envoys he sent were here to learn how the steel mill operated.
Many of these 7,210 energy coins are needed for the construction of the camp. The camp is busy paving roads and building houses, but the population of the camp has only increased by 300 people, and all of them are builders or researchers in the camp.
Now Lu Cheng is very curious about what on earth is so special about this groundhog spirit that it is worthy of so many Dongfeng heavy trucks.
Lu Cheng waited for another ten minutes. When Charlotte inside still didn't move, Lu Cheng directly pushed open the door of the room.
The moment he pushed open the door, Lu Cheng heard the sound of something falling to the ground. Lu Cheng looked down and saw a quilt falling to the ground. Charlotte's head popped out from under the quilt, and at the same time she covered her head as if she had just hit her head.
"Does it take you so long to put on your clothes?" Lu Cheng half-knelt down and asked Charlotte who was lying on the ground.
"Any questions?"
After rubbing her head, Charlotte quickly grabbed the quilt with both hands and wrapped herself tightly. She seemed to be a little uncomfortable wearing clothes other than the spellcasting robe.
"Are you crying?" Lu Cheng pulled a small stool and sat in front of Charlotte. Lu Cheng noticed that Charlotte's eyes were red. For the past half hour, this strong groundhog lady had been hiding in this room sobbing.
This is a normal behavior for every child who runs away from home. After a while, they will always regret it and want to go home.
"No."
Charlotte turned her head to the side, and after she turned back into a human, Lu Cheng was able to guess her thoughts by observing her expression.
“Have you ever thought about settling here?”
Lu Cheng didn't intend to continue to argue with Charlotte, so he directly asked her about her plans for the future.
"Settlement? There is not even a servant here, why should I live here?" Charlotte still wanted to go against Lu Cheng.
"Because you can charge your phone anytime and anywhere when you live here." Lu Cheng pointed to the charging port at the head of Charlotte's bed. "But this is just one of the reasons. You followed me here because you must be dissatisfied with some of the decisions of the Gemansis Secret Society."
Charlotte didn't say anything. She stretched out one hand holding the cell phone from under the sheets and stared at the phone, using this method to maintain silence.
"I can give you shelter. If the Secret Law Society sends people to take you back by force, as long as you tell me... you don't want to go back, I can drive them away." Lu Cheng's words made Charlotte pause for a moment while clicking on her phone. She must be tempted.
"Also, you are the daughter of the Secret Society. From now on, the Secret Society should belong to you. In fact, you don't need to always take into account what those old people say."
Lu Cheng continued to guide Miss Groundhog, and was actually teaching Charlotte to do bad things.
"So the future of the Secret Society rests on your shoulders, Charlotte, and it's time for you to have your own ideas," Lu Cheng said.
The future of the Gemansis Secret Society. Charlotte really fell into deep thought when she heard Lu Cheng's words. Although she was still young, she had really thought about this aspect. Especially after learning about her grandfather's plan, Charlotte always felt that something was wrong.
"Are you willing to listen to my advice?" Charlotte turned and looked at Lu Cheng and asked.
"I can be an observer, but I don't know whether the proposal will be adopted in the end." Lu Cheng had no intention of continuing to lie to Miss Groundhog.
"Then I won't tell you."
Charlotte turned around with her back to Lu Cheng, obviously looking like a little girl throwing a tantrum, but she only lasted less than a minute before she turned her head and glanced at Lu Cheng.
"You really don't want to listen?" Charlotte asked again.
"I'll definitely listen, but only as long as your ideas and suggestions are reasonable enough." Lu Cheng said this, and Charlotte chose to compromise. She turned around and told Lu Cheng some inside stories about the Secret Society... and some inside stories about this world.
