Xu Le returned to the dormitory and brought out Ding Ke who was fumbling around.
Although he didn't know what the black cat did at home every day, Xu Le had already discovered that the number of pages in his notebook was decreasing.
It was probably torn off by a black cat. Cats love to cause destruction.
"I'll take you out for a nice meal today, and don't destroy my notes in the future."
Meow! Hearing this, Ding Ke was a little excited.
Xu Le looked at its somewhat human expression, moved his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
After returning to the branch from the dormitory, Xu Le did not enter the branch again.
Although he likes Ding Ke very much, he will not kidnap others just because of his love.
He likes it, but others don't. Forcing others to accept a black cat is a form of moral kidnapping.
"Let's wait outside for a while."
Meow!
Xu Le and Black Cat just stood at the entrance of the branch department, and from time to time people who were getting off work would greet Xu Le.
After a period of contact, the people in the branch have gradually become familiar with Xu Le, a young man with a good personality.
While waiting, Xu Le opened the Gu Yin Multi-Vision and looked at the pixel blocks that occasionally appeared and quickly disappeared around him. He knew that those were mutations of Gu Yin's power.
Is Gu Yinduo like a disease of this world? It seems that it is not that simple.
After a while, around 7 o'clock, Wang Shu and Gu Beichen came back with the injured tomboy.
"She wasn't hospitalized?" Xu Le was surprised.
Although she still walked a little unsteadily, it was obvious that her physical condition was much better than before after the pollution was cleared.
This may be related to her own extraordinary physique.
The three of them walked up to Xu Le, and the girl with short hair nodded to Xu Le:
"I heard them say, thank you for saving me, my name is Li Shunliu, they all call me Shunliu."
Shunliu? Not a bad name.
"You're welcome. We're all colleagues. My name is Xu Le."
Wang Shu wanted to ask Xu Le why he was waiting outside the branch, but after seeing the black cat in his arms, he stopped asking.
"Let's go to Guangming Hotel. It's my treat today."
Gu Beichen seemed to be in a good mood, Wang Shu didn't say anything, and Li Shunliu turned his head away, seeming not to want to talk to them.
But she did not refuse Gu Beichen's invitation to have dinner together.
Looking at the three people with different expressions, Xu Le thought that there must be some story between these three people.
"Guangming? Sounds like a nice restaurant."
"Of course, it's the best in Area B."
Don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking.
A group of four spent 20 cents to squeeze into a steam tricycle and soon arrived at the Guangming Hotel.
Although this is the lower town area and is also called a restaurant, it is actually not just a restaurant, but a large dining and entertainment venue next to the moat.
In addition to dining, you can also enjoy fitness, swimming, shooting, club massage and other services here.
Even people from the upper city often come here to play.
"Are you coming here... for money?" Xu Le suddenly asked.
"We are extraordinary people. Extraordinary people do not compete with ordinary people for profit. Xu Le, I'm afraid there is something wrong with your thinking."
Gu Beichen's words were somewhat harsh, and Xu Le could only scratch his head.
He curled his lips and said that this was not what he said when he tried to get me to join his gang last time.
Sitting at a window seat in the restaurant, Gu Beichen took the menu handed to him by the waiter, quickly ordered a few dishes, and handed it to the waiter.
It was obvious that he came here often. After ordering the dishes, he turned to look at Xu Le and the others and asked:
"What would you like to drink?"
"boiling water."
"Orange juice, please."
“Is there any happy water?”
None of the three people was drinking, which made the waiter who received commission from the drinks twitch his mouth. How could there be any profit if they didn't drink
"Don't you guys drink?"
"No." The three said in unison.
Wang Shu really doesn’t drink alcohol. He has always been a very self-disciplined person and only drinks water.
Li Shunliu ordered orange juice because he was injured and was forbidden to drink alcohol.
As for Xu Le, it was definitely not because he was afraid of having a blackout after drinking because he only had two taels of alcohol.
The main thing was that I had to study after returning to the dormitory, and I couldn’t drink alcohol when practicing divination.
“Well, give me a glass of orange juice, too, even though it’s very unbecoming of me.
But since none of you drink, I can't be too special, after all I'm a low-key person."
Gu Beichen still spoke in such a pretentious manner, but Xu Le no longer felt disgusted at this time.
You helped this guy and he actually treated you to a meal.
Can deal with.
Ding Ke in his arms moved, and Xu Le remembered that he hadn't ordered anything for it, so he immediately said to the waiter:
"Well, can you help me get some dried fish and sausages? My cat hasn't eaten yet."
"Of course, please wait a moment sir."
Seeing that the four of them didn't order any drinks, the waiter left in disappointment.
While waiting, Wang Shu, who had been silent the whole time, spoke first:
"After the Black Tide, all the major city-states were not at peace. The situation seems to have changed a bit."
No one spoke, which made Wang Shu feel a little embarrassed.
He pondered for a while, then spoke again:
"Recently, the lighthouse has often experienced some sudden distortion and pollution, and the rules of darkness have also changed. The branch is short of manpower."
Li Shunliu lowered his head, Gu Beichen looked at her, Xu Le petted the cat, and still no one spoke.
Did Xu Le not hear it? Of course not.
But can he accept this? Of course not!
Xu Le, who intentionally avoided the topic, opened the ancient sound multi-perspective and looked out the window. When he saw this, he frowned.
Under the influence of the Son of Gu Yinduo, the rules of darkness have changed.
"We are inside the lighthouse. Will the city also be affected? Is that the situation Brother Shu described?"
Looking into the distance, Xu Le was a little worried, but if no one was distorted, it should be fine.
Wang Shu saw that Xu Le didn't say anything, but he still didn't give up:
"Xu Le, the team is short of people now, can you..."
"Everyone, your drinks and meals, crab rice, beef pot, roast chicken, and a few other items have arrived. Please wait a moment."
The waiter interrupted Wang Shu, and Wang Shu was helpless and did not continue speaking.
After the waiter left, Xu Le felt that he shouldn't ignore Wang Shu like this, so he said hesitantly:
"What did Brother Shu want to say just now? I didn't hear it clearly."
Wang Shu's eyelids twitched. He had seen Xu Le's character and experience many times, and he knew very well that Xu Le was a wise man.
According to Bai Jing, it means knowing when to advance and retreat, and making choices, while not losing the sharpness of youth.
So since I have said it to that extent, there is no way Xu Le would not understand.
He is just pretending and just doesn't want to come!
"Xu Le, the situation is a bit complicated now. Pollution and distortion are more irregular than before. The captain is having a hard time."
Xu Le, who was feeding the cat, fell silent. Wang Shu had already said this, how could he avoid it anymore
"When I signed the contract, I agreed not to go out on field trips. I don't have any skills, so why do you keep pestering me, Brother Shu?"
Gu Beichen and Li Shunliu's mouths twitched after hearing this, especially Gu Beichen, who didn't understand at all:
"Xu Le, why can you say that you have no ability?"
"Because he knows he has the ability, he doesn't care about the opinions at all."
Li Shunliu's sudden words startled Wang Shu and Gu Beichen.
Yes, precisely because he has it, Xu Le doesn’t care about the evaluation in this regard at all.
Xu Le looked at Li Shunliu with some resentment. This woman is really too much. I just saved you in the afternoon, and you turned around and exposed my past in the evening.
It has made it impossible for me to keep a low profile.
By this time, Xu Le already understood the purpose of this meal.
This is not about thanking him, this is about conscripting men.
Xu Le's mind is so firm that he will never be persuaded by this.
“Ahem, it’s not that I don’t want to help. The captain and Mr. Gan are both very kind to me. I know that.
But you also know that I am a person who follows the rules. I must act according to the contract and cannot go beyond it."
Xu Le thought, for such a small salary, you are making me risk my life, is it realistic
Wang Shu looked at Xu Le expressionlessly. Talk about the contract? Okay, then I'll tell you about the contract:
"The contract says you don't have to do field work, but you have to do office work."
Hearing this, Xu Le suddenly had a bad feeling.
"What do you mean, Tree?"
"As long as you work in Lighthouse City, you are actually considered an office worker."
Xu Le's hands were shaking as he held the sausage. He looked at Wang Shu with some sadness, not understanding why this seemingly honest man could have so many bad intentions.
"We agreed that people from the Lighthouse would not cheat people from the Lighthouse. How can you cheat even a college student who has not even graduated? Is that appropriate?"
"It's very fitting, and you're not from the Lighthouse."
Xu Le stopped talking.
Although he usually calls Wang Shu Brother, but at this moment his evaluation of Wang Shu is... Wang Shu is a bad person and cannot be associated with.
Seeing that the party fell into silence, Gu Beichen started chatting awkwardly again:
“This crab rice is good, with a fresh and tender texture and golden color. It is barely worthy of my status as a level 2 warlock.
"What are you looking at? Eat quickly? What? Don't you want to give me, Gu Beichen, some respect?"
Xu Le glanced at Gu Beichen. He had always thought that Gu Beichen was a pretentious person, but he didn't expect that he could also play a guest role in the atmosphere group.
Wang Shu, on the other hand, has always been working diligently, and is worthy of being Bai Jing's confidant.
"Okay, let's eat."
After the four of them started eating, they no longer talked about Xu Le's participation in clerical tasks.
No one even talked about the rescue efforts during the day.
Wang Shu and Gu Beichen’s idea was very simple: no matter what, whether Xu Le came to help or not, he was still a member of the team.
Even if Xu Le's ability has some problems, it is true that Xu Le saved Li Shunliu.
This is a real way to remove pollution, and its effect is even stronger than mental energy diversion.
Since it belongs to us, why should we expose it
Who can guarantee that they will not be polluted in the future
As for the death of a mental bug, a bug is nothing!
After not talking about work, the meal was still in a friendly atmosphere, especially for Ding Ke, as there was no restriction on consumption.
It actually ate more than a dozen crab sausages. Although the prices here are not as high as those in the upper city, they are still the highest in the lower city.
A sausage costs 2 yuan, which means it spent nearly 30 yuan just on sausages.
This made Xu Le feel a little embarrassed.
And I don’t know if this black cat is sick. After it found Xu Le drinking happy water, it kept scratching it with its claws, wanting to drink it.
Although Xu Le warned many times: "Cats can't drink happy water."
But in the end, Ding Ke still secretly drank a small cup.
Just this small cup makes it crazy.
He held the Coke bottle and refused to let go, looking like he wanted to be happier.
Xu Le had no choice but to give it the Coke.
