On the other hand, Akai Yu Yu still has her mouth facing upwards, her spherical dead fish eyes unable to tell whether she is sad or happy, and she is wearing a security vest that is just the right size for her. Her face says "I'm just an honest security guard."
System: [[Akai Yuyu] heard from [Security Captain] yesterday that you would be visiting the park for guidance. In order to be closer to you, [Akai Yuyu] compressed the three-day mission into one day and took the initiative to offer to take over the security guard duty.]
The system began to emit red bullet screens, repeating three times: [FBI WARNING! FBI WARNING! FBI WARNING! ]
System: [Dear [Frog Organization] Boss, the Reds are eyeing you covetously, please be sure to protect your privacy! ]
The thrilling pre-battle BGM sounds, reminding players that they are facing a powerful enemy and must be careful.
Hojo Natsuki had gone through several rounds of assassination games and had long been desensitized.
Facing Akai Yuyu's dead fish face, just trying not to laugh is already a huge effort. Who can be wary of the ingredients of a star-gazing pie
After asking the question "Should we call it?", Qinwa waited very calmly for the dog Boss's reply.
Something is wrong.
There's something wrong with the frog's attitude.
Although the question is whether to call Akai Fish, the actual question is "If you dare to call it, you're dead", right
As smart as Hojo Natsuki was, he saw through Frog's trick in a second and threw the question back: [Do you want to call him? ]
The frog had no expression on its face.
[Gin]：No.
What did the frog reply? Did it reply properly
It's not just a simple and rough "get out"? !
Hojo Natsuki woke up as if from a dream - yes, he was now Frog's superior, the puppy boss, and no longer the player who was beaten and scolded by Frog.
Even a frog has to be respectful to him!
It feels so good. It feels so good to be the emperor from the pet owner.
Once Hojo Natsuki was feeling proud, he couldn't help but start to talk nonsense: [Really? So it was you who wanted to invite him, then let him come as well. I think you two seem to have a good relationship.]
As soon as these words came out, the frog's eyes widened in disbelief, like an angry cat, and its pupils almost shrank into a vertical line. It seemed to have heard some unbelievable Arabian Nights, so it did not answer immediately.
Such an expression of surprise and speechlessness has not appeared on an adult harp frog for a long time.
Angry little quack, so cute.
The frog immediately returned to its original state and said coldly: [I don't know him.]
Hojo Natsuki began to feel itchy.
Reason tells me that I should seize the opportunity to distance myself from Akai Yuyu and tell Qinwa that it is the only quack that Daddy loves the most.
But the feelings are that the Frog and the Akai Fish dislike each other so much that if they stay together it might turn into a quarrel like that of elementary school students, and you can see the Frog being furious.
Reason and emotion, taking turns to speak, occupy the two ends of the scale, alternating up and down like a seesaw.
Finally, Hojo Natsuki felt that it was still interesting to see Kotowa get angry - he was worried a few days ago that his son would get angry and run away from home after learning about his identity as the boss, but at this moment, his instinct to get more aggressive broke out.
Hojo is his surname, and debt is his fate.
Isn't the point of playing games to have fun? Isn't the fun to watch the frog get mad but can't do anything about it
So he said very understandingly: [Don't be shy, I saw you staring at him for so long, you must have a good relationship, right? ]
[Gin]：…
The frog's expression was as if it had eaten a fly.
Hojo Natsuki followed up with a victory: [Since he is your friend, then call him along. … Let him be with the outstanding employees. ]
"That's right." Hojo Natsuki thought, "Akai Fish, it was Kotowa who took the initiative to bring it up, and 'Boss' agreed without thinking. This matter has nothing to do with the player Natsuki, so he can't vent his anger on me, right?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that
Straightforward and confident.
[Gin]：…
[Gin]: Yes.
Unfortunately, the frog's expression was no longer angry, but instead looked as if it had confirmed something and was deep in thought.
Hojo Natsuki controlled the puppy and started a day's patrol according to his original plan.
For privacy and safety reasons, wherever the puppy Boss went, the action team members would clear the area in advance, so he didn't see many employees during his inspection. Even if he didn't control the Boss, Hojo Natsuki could usually observe his park from various angles, so he casually walked around twice, pretending that he was here for the first time.
The frog was not in a good mood and followed the puppy Boss closely.
"That's because Gin-chan doesn't know what the toy factory produces yet." Hojo Natsuki thought confidently, "When she finds out, she will be so touched that she will die."
So, after inspecting the park, he went to the factory director's office.
The factory director's office is decorated as luxuriously as a presidential suite (although it looks rather simple in the game), with a reception area, office area, and rest area. The reception area and office area are connected, without a door, and an exquisite gauze curtain separates the two dimensions.
The reception area is large, elegant yet spacious, as big as a basketball court.
The boss of the Frog Organization, the factory director, Puppy Dog, was meeting with his employees who came to report on their work in the office area separated by a curtain, like a queen dowager ruling the country from behind the curtain; the employees could only see a little bit of the unclear outline of the factory director through the hazy gauze curtain.
[[Deputy Factory Manager] has sent you a [Twist Car 1.0 Sample]]
[Deputy Factory Manager]: Director, this is the twisting car we produced according to your requirements
The deputy factory manager was a frog with small eyes, quite law-abiding. He obediently placed his tricycle in front of the office door, lowered his head, and did not dare to peek at the boss's face.
Hojo Natsuki pulled the camera and praised: [You did a great job.]
This twisting car is very similar to the one Qinwa is currently driving. The style is similar, but the color scheme is more vibrant and bold. Simply put, it is greener, and the two frog blushes on the front of the car are also redder.
The frog also saw the tricycle, but did not move.
When it first saw the Porsche car its dad bought it, it felt secretly and well-concealedly happy; but now it is extremely calm, its heart is as still as still water, with zero emotional fluctuations.
Hojo Natsuki: “?”
Doesn't the frog like it? Why doesn't it move at all
Is it because there are outsiders here and he is embarrassed to show his excitement
Could it be that I am so happy that I want to act cool in front of the boss
very good.
Hojo Natsuki understood again. It was not difficult to guess the little frog's thoughts.
Let's dry the frog first and see how long it can last.
It really acted like one, with a little green coffin face without any emotion, vividly portraying the feeling of a tired office worker who clearly wanted to leave but was forced to accompany the boss to go crazy.
The second group to be met was the twist car design team.
The staff on the design team are of different species, but without exception, they all have dark circles under their eyes - the law of no sleep for designers has even extended to the animal world.
System: [The product managers, industrial designers and engineers who have joined [Little Pond Toy Factory] are all top in the industry. You can ask them for anything you want]
Hojo Natsuki thought: "Be the client?"
He is familiar with this, Party A just doesn't behave like a human being.
So he started to act like a human: [I think the current generation of tricycles is still lacking in functionality.]
The leader of the design team was an owl. He took a step forward and replied: [Yes, please give me some advice.]
Hojo Natsuki said: [Why can't the tricycle fly? Why can't it go into the water? Why not transform it into a jet-powered hover tricycle that turns into a motorcycle on the water? How great would that be?]
[Design Director Owl]:…
[Design Director Owl]:
The owl choked up, and after a moment, he said cautiously: [Director, we
The target user group is children under 8 years old...]
Hojo Natsuki: [It’s smaller, the layout is smaller, and the hovercraft doesn’t need to fly very high, half a meter off the ground is enough, but the fun is doubled, don’t you think? ]
[Design Director Owl]: ... Let’s not talk about the technical aspects for now, in terms of cost control...
Hojo Natsuki waved his hand: [Industry leaders must come up with breakthrough designs. Cost is not a problem. Just go for it.]
The entire design team was speechless. The expressions of every animal were the same - confused. The humbleness of Party B was fully reflected at this moment.
With its fancy amphibious functions, the frog will surely be impressed, right
However, after the designers left, Qinwa still maintained its idle posture standing against the wall, motionless, and didn't even look at the tricycle outside the door.
Hojo Natsuki thought to himself: "As expected of a frog, he is very patient."
He couldn't help but ask: [Don't you like this car? ]
—The whole toy factory is built for you, Prince Qin.
[Gin]：…
Qinwa couldn't help but showed a cold look as if he saw an idiot on the street.
At the same time, several new employees came in. They happened to be the last group that Director Hojo had an appointment with—outstanding new employees and the part-time security guard Akai Yuyu.
Hojo Natsuki continued to hint and tempt: [Don't you want to try this twisting car? ]
[Gin]：…
Qin Wa's eyes looked more and more like he was crazy, and he even took a step towards the door without leaving a trace.
[Gin]: No
Hojo Natsuki: “?!”
how so!
Isn't it crazy about Porsche twisty cars? Why is it so cold when it sees its own car
Hojo Natsuki felt like a parent seeing a picky eater child who refused to eat the home-cooked meal and insisted on ordering takeout - Kotowa, little prodigal son.
What's so good about Porsche
They are all twisty cars. What’s so noble about Porsche? Isn’t it just an extra logo
The puppy Boss was intimidating without even getting angry, and Qinwa was absolutely unwilling to try riding the twisting car produced by the toy factory, and the atmosphere was tense.
Fu Gua, who was sandwiched between the frog and the dog, trembled, made up his mind, and volunteered: [Uh... Director, how about I test drive it? Haha, I think it's quite interesting... I've liked this since I was a child. ]
Hojo Natsuki glanced at it.
Fu Gua, what’s this about you
The frog hugged its shoulders with its claws and tilted its head to look out the window, leaving a cool profile and an obvious uncooperative attitude.
But players also have tempers!
Hojo Natsuki used the threat method, which always worked well against naughty kids: [If you don't ride it, I'll give it to someone else. ]
Frog: […]
The frog didn't say anything, and its face showed "crazy, what a treat!"
It seems that a naughty child ≠ a bad son, there is still a little difference.
what to do
Fu Gua looked left and right, but was at a loss as to what to do, so he shut up.
Hojo Natsuki immediately spotted the most eye-catching one among them—Akai Yuyu (the version without the fish tank).
Very good, I decided to choose this one!
This move is called 'The Kid Next Door'.
If the frog doesn't obey, use the fishman next door to provoke it. ... Anyway, the person who does this is the boss, and it has nothing to do with the player.
Furukaya Rei followed the HR and came to Building C of the park.
"The factory manager likes hardworking employees." The beautiful HR spoke softly, and at this time she did not forget her job of painting a rosy picture for people. "Amuro-kun's efforts have been noticed. I think promotion and transfer are just around the corner. Our factory will not mistreat any capable person. Keep working hard."
Fūya Rei smiled, pretended to drink the chicken soup, and said cooperatively: "I just did what I should do. I will continue to work hard."
On the fifth floor of Building C, the moment the elevator door opens, there is a sense of time travel. The decoration of the fifth floor is very high-end, with handmade carpets underfoot and murals hanging in the corridor, which is incompatible with the minimalist style of the entire industrial park.
The beautiful HR girl led him to the factory director's office.
There were already six or seven young faces gathered here, and Ling Furutani had an impression of two of them—on the day they reported to the toy factory.
The rest, this person looks like he is from the finance department, is he a cashier? ... I have an impression of this person, I have seen him on the employee wall, he should be from the advertising department... This... Wait, something is wrong, why is the security guard here? !
Seeing the black-haired man in the security uniform in the crowd, Fūya Rei was stunned for a second. The others were wearing commuter clothes with work badges around their necks, but the man was wearing a security uniform, which made him look ridiculous.
But this made Rei Furuya fall into deeper doubts.
Who is this guy
He looks very uncomfortable and doesn't seem like a good person... Why did he pretend to be a security guard in a toy factory? What kind of job did he take on
While Fūya Rei was thinking, Akai Shuichi was also secretly looking at him.
He had no doubt about what job Furiya Rei was responsible for. After all, it was obvious from his attire: this man was a screwdriver.
As a part-time security guard, Shuichi Akai was also deeply puzzled - why was a screwman called to the factory manager's office? Did this screwman have any special background
I don't know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable looking at this person. Akai thought. If seeing Gin feels like a mortal enemy, then seeing this blonde, wheat-skinned screwman is... a mortal enemy.
An indescribable feeling of discomfort.
However, reality did not leave them extra time to test each other's identities. A processed male voice came from the office separated by a curtain.
"Don't you like this car?"
-car
When Fūya Rei saw the tricycle placed in front of the office door curtain, he felt mixed emotions.
You're not talking about this car, are you... trying to coax a child
After assembling it for so long, it was the first time for him to see the finished twisting car from the toy factory with his own eyes, and he didn't know how to comment on it for a moment.
For children, it is probably a very luxurious toy, a power-driven frog car, ugly and cute, with a seat that can even accommodate a grown man.
The young people looked around in panic and saw the same confusion on each other's faces. Only the beautiful HR maintained an impeccable semi-permanent smile.
The beautiful HR spoke softly, enough for the employees in the reception room to hear without disturbing the people next door. She explained, "This is the factory manager."
Everyone was even more confused.
Why does the factory manager have such a voice? Who is he talking to? … No response yet.
Fūya Rei remained calm.
—What factory manager
Could it be the mysterious Boss
I heard that the boss was an extreme frog lover, and he saw his subordinates like to wear strange green frog headgear. This information was passed on by Senior Sake, but before we could get further confirmation, the other party's identity was exposed and he lost contact.
The factory manager said, "Don't you want to try this twisting car?"
No one responded to him.
After more than ten seconds, a normal voice finally came from the next room. It seemed to be a man in his thirties. He spoke with a simple and obedient feeling like a younger brother: "Uh... Director, how about me? Let me test drive it. Haha, I think it's quite interesting... I have liked this since I was a child."
No one responded to the "little brother's" suggestion.
The factory manager added: "If you don't ride it, I'll give it to someone else."
His voice was flat, without any ups and downs, like an AI reading, but it also revealed a sense of threat that seemed like an illusion.
The next second, the factory manager said a name: "Zhu Xingda."
"You come in, and take the car with you."
Furiya Rei saw the black-haired security guard looking up, his eyes fell on the frog twister, and he replied: "...Okay."
The black-haired security guard named "Zhu Xing Dai" picked up the tricycle as if nothing had happened, opened the door curtain, and walked into the room. Taking this opportunity, Furuya Rei stared at the gap in the door curtain without blinking, trying to peek into the scene inside.
But the "security guard" was an adult man with long legs and broad shoulders, and his body blocked most of his view. Fōtani Rei could only see an office desk and judged that the person sitting at the desk was wearing a black suit.
He maintained his usual expression of curiosity and trepidation, turned back as if nothing had happened, but his heart sank.
I have a premonition.
He must find a way to meet the "factory director".
Akai Fish is much more obedient than the frog. When asked to bring in the tricycle, it did as it was told and brought in the tricycle with its pitifully short fins that looked like human hands.
The moment he saw the puppy Boss, Akai Yuyu's pupils trembled.
Like the Sad Frog, it has only two facial features: a mouth and eyes. On its fish-like face, the eyes are as obvious as glowing basketballs, making them impossible to ignore.
Therefore, the changes in Akai Yuyu's eyes were also very obvious. In the spherical eye socket, the small eyeball seemed to be in vibration mode, moving up and down, left and right, and vibrated for two seconds before returning to its usual dull state.
Hojo Natsuki: “?”
what happened
Are you that surprised
In the 2D game screen, Akai Yui looked like a flattened piece of dried salted fish. Natsuki couldn't tell the direction of Akai Yui's gaze at all, and for a moment it was difficult to judge what had surprised it to the point that its pupils trembled.
Frog, was it frightened by Top Killer's invisible frog aura
Fugua? But Fugua didn't change shape.
It can't be the puppy BOSS in GUCCI headgear, this is the most normal thing in this office.
Could it be that because Akai Yuyu is a country girl and has never seen such an expensive headgear, she was overwhelmed by the overwhelming wealth and was therefore very shocked...
Not too possible.
Since he couldn't figure it out for the time being, Hojo Natsuki was too lazy to think about it.
It's just an external employee, its ideas are not important.
He noticed that the moment Akai Yuyu walked in, Qinwa's state became tense.
From a lazy cat who didn't want to pay attention to his owner and pretended not to understand his name, he became a fighting cat with ears erected and sharp eyes when other animals broke into his territory.
The frog first glared at the puppy Boss imperceptibly, and then stared at Akai Yuyu motionlessly, with a look of contempt and disgust, as if it could roast Akai Yuyu into a stargazing pie at any time with its eyes.
At this time, Akai Yuyu showed the extraordinary psychological quality of an FBI agent. She looked calm and looked at the puppy Boss.
[Akai Yuyu]: Director, what can I do for you
Hojo Natsuki: [Can you drive a tricycle? ]
[Akai Fish]:…
Akai Fish was stunned, revealing a salted fish-like silence, its mouth opened and closed, as if the room was suffocating it, and it was trying to breathe in oxygen. It took two more breaths of oxygen.
Hojo Natsuki was worried that Akai Yuyu would yell "help!! Bring me my fish tank!" in the next second and then faint.
This time, he found that he had underestimated FBI Yu Yu's psychological quality again.
A few seconds later, Akai Yuyu raised his fin, pointed at the frog car he had brought in, and asked: [Director, is this the one you are talking about? ]
I don't know why it is so hesitant. It's obviously just an ordinary tricycle.
Perhaps driving a frog car still brings some psychological pressure to the fishman. One comes from a pond and the other from the ocean, and their cultural environments are different.
Hojo Natsuki thought about it and felt that this might be a bit embarrassing for this foreign aristocrat. Apart from being misunderstood by the frog, Akai Fish actually did nothing wrong. He worked hard, and was the KPI god after the frog. He also worked diligently as a security guard. A hard-working employee, even if he was an undercover agent, should be respected.
So he said tolerantly: [Since you
If you don’t want to drive the tricycle, I’ll call someone else.]
As soon as these words came out, Akai Yuyu's expression changed slightly, and the bubble on its head and the bubble with the little black cat's face printed on it outside the door popped out at the same time—
[Akagi Yuyu]: No, actually I can...
[Zero Cat]: Director, can I have a try
Hojo Natsuki: “?”
What's wrong with this little black cat? I'm talking to the fishman, why did it butt in for no reason
Seeing that Yu Yu was in trouble, the kind-hearted factory manager Xia Shu went down the stairs handed to him by Ling Miao.
Hojo Natsuki: [Then, come in. ]
Ling Miao walked in lightly with cat steps.
Its micro-expressions are also very interesting. It first looked at the puppy Boss, and its gray-purple cat pupils shrank into a straight line, and then recovered in half a second; then it looked at the frog, as if thinking about something.
In this extremely short second, Ling Miao was extremely cautious, as if he would get angry and run away at any moment.
Finally, Zero Cat stopped his paw in front of the tricycle and glanced at Akai Fish.
It wrinkled its nose, a fleeting look of kitten disdain.
Hojo Natsuki suddenly remembered that when he drew Zero Cat, there was a line on its attribute card -
[[Zero Cat] is allergic to aquatic products, so never feed it fish! ]
No wonder it hates Akai Fish so much.
However, in a sense, are frogs also considered a type of aquatic animal
When Ling Miao came in, Qin Wa's expression became even more tense and indifferent.
It used its pair of simple frog-shaped triangular eyes to carefully examine the cat and the fish-man, its gaze as sharp as a scalpel. It held the Beretta's thin paws and occasionally rested them on the fleshy little arm.
Qin Frog is examining Rei and Akai Fish.
Then glare at the puppy Boss.
Hojo Natsuki said calmly: [Muroboshi, what did you just say? ]
[Akai Fish]:…
[Akai Yuyu]: I mean, I can drive a tricycle too.
Hojo Natsuki clapped his hands.
This is great, Ling Miao is allergic to aquatic products!
Hojo Natsuki: [In that case, you can go with Amuro. … There should be room for you, right?]
Zero Meow: […]
Akai Fish: […]
They were both silent.
Qinwa had a speechless expression on his face and turned his head to look out the window.
