The taxi drove on the highway. Through the window, Zhang Heng could see the lush trees and towering pylons outside. Even the white clouds floating in the sky were made of Lego bricks.
However, if one did not take a closer look, it would still look quite scary.
Zhang Heng took the opportunity to check his character panel and found that unlike before, his skills and items were grayed out, and there was an 'unavailable' sign next to it.
You Always Look Unhappy (# O ') seemed to have sensed what he was thinking and explained in English, "As I said, this quest is very special. Your items and skills are useless here, but relax. Don't worry about the main quest. Just treat this trip as a vacation."
Before Zhang Heng could speak, the driver interrupted again, this time in Mandarin, "Vacation? Do you want me to recommend you a few good places for a vacation?"
"…"
"Don't look at me like that. I learned English, okay? I can handle those foreigners," the driver said triumphantly, his eyes narrowing into slits. The driver said proudly, his eyes narrowing into slits from his smile. He then coughed twice and said in his standard Chinglish, "Gu De Mao Ning, Se, Weier You Net Te Spit Dog, Mani Mani, Mani Mani, Scratch Him That Pair."
You Always Look Unhappy (# O ') pressed her pincer hand against her forehead and said helplessly, "I suggest that we wait until we arrive at our destination before we continue our conversation …"
"Okay."
However, even though the two passengers were speechless, they still could not resist the driver's enthusiasm, especially when he found out that it was Zhang Heng's first time in Guangzhou. He volunteered to be their tour guide.
"Here, on your right, is Changlong Bird Paradise. There are many birds there. Immortal cranes, immortal cranes, immortal cranes, and immortal cranes."
"Uh, you just repeated 'immortal cranes' four times, right?"
The driver pretended not to hear the voice in his ear and continued to introduce the place with great enthusiasm.
"In front of us is Zhujiang … Further ahead, you can see the iconic Guangzhou Tower. Look at it, it's round. Doesn't it look like a copper coin? It's also the ugliest building in the whole city. "
"… Now we've finally arrived at Zhujiang New Town, the most expensive place in Guangzhou. It can also be said to be the center of the whole city. Every inch of land here is worth its weight in gold. Yuexiu, which is just a street away, isn't as extravagant."
"Big Head Prawn … Don't you look at the road when you drive? Oh right, where were we just now?"
"…"
An hour later, the taxi finally stopped at the curb.
After paying the bill, You Always Look Unhappy (# O ') clutched her stomach and squatted on the side of the road. "Wait a minute, I need to calm down. I haven't met such a chatterbox in a long time."
Zhang Heng looked around and saw shopping malls on both sides of the road.
In the mall, there were billboards and endless traffic on the streets. He asked, "Where is this?"
"Zhengjia Square, the largest commercial center in Tianhe."
"So, you came to this dungeon to satisfy your desire to shop?"
"Of course not. I'm just used to having a drink here before I go home. Although I've been back here several times, I still can't get used to it, especially on a day like today. Thank you for coming back with me this time. After what I did to you, I didn't expect you to still believe me. To be honest, I'm a little touched. How about I let you see my chest in return? Although they're completely flat now … they're actually just two circles and a dot. It's strange. I can't feel their existence at all. "
"Thank you. You should keep them for yourself."
You Always Look Unhappy (# O ') scratched her head. "I remember there's a Starbucks next door. Why don't we go there and sit for a while?"
The two came to the counter of the coffee shop, and the waiter skillfully filled a cup with brown and blue cylindrical particles from the coffee machine. Zhang Heng guessed that this represented a mixture of coffee and water.
Well, once he accepted this magical setting, it was actually quite fun.
However, when the waiter handed the cup over, there was a small problem. Zhang Heng found that he couldn't hold the Starbucks coffee cup no matter how hard he stretched his pincer hand.
"Uh, there's a cylindrical bulge at the bottom, and you can insert it into your hand." You Always Look Unhappy (# O ') guided Zhang Heng like an experienced driver, ensuring that he could get his coffee.
"It took me some time to get used to these gadgets the first time I came here."
Zhang Heng tried to suck on the straw, and even though he didn't get anything, he miraculously felt like he was drinking coffee. When he sucked hard, the straw squeaked.
At the same time, two cars had just rear-ended on the road in front of them. The blocks from the front and the back of the car were scattered all over the ground. The driver was obviously fine, but he was still lying on the steering wheel, looking like he was about to die. The passersby nervously took out their mobile phones to call the police, took photos, and sent them to the police.
Just when everyone's attention was attracted by the car accident outside, a bald man put down the "Harry Potter" in his hand and walked towards the two. He cleared his throat.
"Don't look at him, and don't talk to him. He's related to the main mission. Just ignore him, and he will walk away when he feels bored."
"Main mission?"
"Yes, it's the main mission to save the world. If you ignore it, this city will be destroyed in three days, but if you do, you will find that the process is very troublesome. You have to keep running around, looking for this and that, and in the end, you will find that you still can't stop the end of the world. So, all we have to do now is sit." You Always Look Unhappy (# O ') picked up the coffee and took a big gulp.
As she said, the bald man walked up and politely asked the two if they wanted to hear a story.
After he didn't get an answer, he walked away in disappointment, stealing a mug from the shelf before he left.
After he left, You Always Look Unhappy (# O ') put down the coffee cup in her hand and looked out the window. She seemed to be lost in thought, and no one knew what she was thinking about. After a long time, she spoke again. "When I passed by here, I always envied the people inside.
"When I passed by this place in the past, I always envied the people here. I thought those people who wore suits and leather shoes and walked in and out of office buildings every day, drinking Starbucks, were very cool. I wanted to be like that. I know this idea is ridiculous, but it was indeed my dream for a period of time. I've been working hard in this direction. While other girls were discussing what kind of nail polish looked good and which idol dramas were interesting, I was studying hard. So, yes, this silly and stupid look is the past me."
