Although Grant made him laugh and cry, Xia Xu actually found a bank and transferred 50,000 yuan to him.
In fact, Grant was probably just joking. Today he mainly came to remind him to be careful, otherwise he wouldn't have waited so long to come to him to ask this.
But after all, it is something I promised to do for someone else. Friendship is friendship, transaction is transaction, and since it is a business, it must be seen from beginning to end.
If it was someone else Xia Xu was acquainted with, he might have been too lazy to bother and just considered it as a favor, but Grant was a poor guy who really needed money, so he had to give him the money. He had indeed forgotten about this before.
"Oh, now there will be 50,000 or 60,000 yuan in the card. Why is it that the more money I earn, the less I feel I have enough money to spend?"
Looking at the balance in the card, Xia Xu sighed, and after leaving the bank, he had dinner before returning home.
The first thing I did after returning home was to find Uncle Luo to continue my routine fighting training.
He has never stopped training twice a day, but since last Saturday, when he initially mastered melee combat skills with the help of the mechanical centipede spine and super brain potion, his training has gradually been adjusted to basic physical fitness and practical training.
Relying on the effects of the super brain potion, he has memorized a large number of fighting skills in his mind. The only thing he lacks now is physical strength and actual combat.
The actual combat capabilities he possesses nowadays are actually largely based on the super brain potion.
Without the brain overclocking state brought by the super brain potion, it would be difficult for him to have enough time to think and make decisions in battle. If he wants to show superb fighting ability under normal conditions, he must practice more and have more actual combat.
Fortunately, he has Uncle Luo, a fighting master who stands at the top of human beings, who teaches him moves every day, and he also has the super brain potion to enhance his learning ability, so his daily progress can be said to be rapid.
Not only has his own combat capability improved, but also his knowledge learning has been improved. This feeling of steadily improving himself step by step makes him feel very fulfilled.
But the video Grant sent today undoubtedly added a ray of gloom to his heart.
A mutant who can control bones, or a person with special powers, was slaughtering passers-by, and was then killed by a masked "freak".
Although Grant spoke briefly, this scene is very similar to those superhero movies. With this as the main line and some background and side plots added in, it is a real superhero movie.
This also indirectly confirmed that his previous guess was correct, that the world was undergoing some drastic changes.
Aquamarine might have originally been just a parallel technological world similar to Earth, but with the "plot" unfolding everywhere all the time, the entire world has gradually undergone earth-shaking changes.
The worst thing is that these plots are not all "ordinary" plots that follow the current social background, but many of them obviously involve things on an inhuman level.
The human-animal hybridization and gene fusion technology represented by the werewolf, the human enhancement technology of the mechanical centipede, the special drugs of the super brain potion... These are just the black technologies that appeared in a small star city, which are all ahead of the times and give ordinary people incredible abilities.
In addition, Grant sent over a video clip that is suspected to be from a superhero movie, which at least involves two characters, a protagonist and a villain, who possess special powers.
Looking around the world, how many similar situations are there? How many extraordinary people have been born, or even how many technologies or things can be used to mass-produce extraordinary people and mutated monsters
If things continue like this, even if Aquamarine doesn't turn into a chaotic world of monsters and supernatural wars, it will gradually become a world similar to Marvel and DC, with constant natural disasters and man-made calamities, and frequent special creatures and events.
Maybe it's even more troublesome.
The Marvel movies he watched before traveling through time were actually limited to the plots of a few characters. If you count them carefully, there were not too many actual events.
How many plots will there be in the current situation of Aquamarine? One thousand? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand
Even if 99% of these are normal urban plots, the remaining 1% will be an extremely outrageous number, and superhero plots basically involve villain organizations.
Compared to the protagonists, the villain organizations that serve as background characters in most cases are often the most outrageous. They brag as much as they can, claiming to rule and destroy the world at will, and master all kinds of awesome things.
This would be fine if it followed the original plot, and the protagonist could save the world in the end. But what if many plots collided and caused a slight deviation, or if he, this little butterfly, flapped his wings, the entire Aquamarine Planet would be in trouble.
Therefore, at this time Xia Xu was already full of a sense of crisis and urgency.
In fact, he had already been vaguely aware of this sense of crisis, otherwise he would not have been so anxious to cash in the profits of Feizhou Studio, but in his heart he still had a bit of luck and escapist thinking.
Maybe his guess was just a wild thought, maybe things wouldn't be that bad, maybe there was still a lot of time... No one could escape the temptation of luck, but Grant's warning this time made him realize that he had to face up to this cruel fact.
As an ordinary high school student, he can only go with the flow in the face of the trend of the times. His destiny is not under his control at all, and he doesn't know when he will fall into the hands of a character in the plot.
Only by seizing the time to improve your self-protection ability as much as possible and gaining enough power and voice, can you perhaps have a place in the future and protect the safety of yourself and those you cherish when a real crisis may come.
"Are you impatient?"
Luo Hongyun, who was training Xia Xu with his moves, obviously felt Xia Xu's impetuousness today and couldn't help but frown.
“Somewhat.”
Xia Xu stopped and opened his mouth, but didn't know how to express himself.
You said that there are many plots similar to movies in this world? You and others are characters in the plots? You said that you are worried that these plots will ruin the entire Aquamarine Planet
Finally, he could only smile bitterly: "Uncle Luo, don't you think the world has changed a lot? Werewolves, Colclough, and Grant sent me another video of a mutant today. These messed up things seem to be increasing."
"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
Luo Hongyun paused after hearing this, and was silent for a moment before he managed to find a word of comfort. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "That's right, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"You want to discuss this with me?"
Xia Xu was stunned, then nodded and said, "Uncle Luo, you go ahead."
"I promised to be your fighting teacher and bodyguard..."
Luo Hongyun was a little hesitant.
"Uncle Luo, are you planning to take up the bodyguard position here?"
Xia Xu said in surprise.
In fact, given his current relationship with Uncle Luo, it doesn't matter whether he is a bodyguard or not. Anyway, if he is in danger or needs help from Uncle Luo, he will definitely help.
There is actually no need to guard him all the time. Atuo's combat power is already very strong. Although it is slightly inferior to Uncle Luo, a few ordinary werewolves are just food. Even if Colclough is resurrected and fights again, he will be slaughtered by Atuo.
Therefore, he did not mention the bodyguard again in the following period of time, but if Uncle Luo was really willing to be his bodyguard, he would be very happy, and he would not mind paying Uncle Luo a higher salary or something.
"no."
Luo Hongyun's face showed a little embarrassment: "You also said that there have been a lot of messy things recently. After the last report on the werewolf, the higher-ups planned to set up a special department and asked me to go back and lead a special operations team..."
"This is a good thing, Uncle Luo, why are you still hesitating?"
After hearing this, Xia Xu realized that Uncle Luo was concerned about him and immediately showed a happy expression.
"But you..."
Luo Hongyun hesitated.
He is actually in a bit of a dilemma now. Returning when called is a promise, and teaching and protecting Xia Xu is also a promise. Both are things he cherishes, so he really can't make a decision.
"It's nothing. I have Atuo protecting me, which is much more reliable than you, Uncle Luo."
Xia Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he changed the subject and said with a smile: "On the contrary, Uncle Luo, you should be an official in the special department so that you can protect me better. If there are any more such messes, I will directly ask you to bring people to shoot them. Anyway, you are in charge of these things, right?"
This is what he really thinks.
First, I didn't want to make Uncle Luo feel embarrassed and wanted to make him happy. Second, it was really in line with his best interests.
Just like I said just now, there is no point in having Uncle Luo for normal protection, but when there is something that needs Uncle Luo's help, he can call him at any time. With such a full favorability, it is absolutely a matter of saying a word to ask Uncle Luo for help.
Moreover, when Uncle Luo joined the official action team to deal with these special incidents, he had a group of younger brothers and a large number of officially-held hot weapons, so he could certainly be of much greater help. After all, when people asked Uncle Luo for help, they must have encountered all kinds of messy monsters and villains.
Besides, with Uncle Luo as a backer in the official department, it would be easier for him to get involved in the plot in the future. Otherwise, he would always run into murders and monsters. Sooner or later, people from this department would come to check his water meter.
Check my water meter? Do you know my uncle Luo Hongyun
I have a clean record and I am a defender of justice. Did you know that Luo Hongyun, the leader of the special operations team, has guaranteed me
Oh, wait, this seems to mean that I have been connected to the official line, right
After the company is established, we can find a few technical experts to crack the mechanical centipede spine and wolf enhancement serum. Can we apply for a special license to become a formal official supplier? And there will definitely be support policies and orders.
"Actually, I can't let go of Louise either. What if I agree to what Louise said above?"
After listening to Xia Xu's words, Luo Hongyun sighed and seemed to be planning to refuse.
"No, Uncle Luo, I calculated that it won't be long before someone can help you take care of Louise."
"who?"
"Her mother."
