There were less than 30 hours left before Evil Scientist opened the time portal.
Zhang Heng's group had also arrived at Shangxijiu Bu. This pedestrian street located in Li Wan District was the traditional business district of Old Guangzhou. It had more than one thousand meters of Qi Lou Street, and there were more than three hundred shops. Every day, there would be many tourists.
"How did you know he was here? After Vandal King disappeared, we once suspected that he was plotting something, and we organized people to search for his whereabouts. Unfortunately, we couldn't find him. He used to cover his face when he committed crimes, and no one has seen his true face. Now that so much time has passed, it's even more difficult to find him," the bald man said.
"The reason why you can't find him is because someone has been misleading you," Zhang Heng said. During the time he entered the parallel quest, Vandal King had disappeared for more than two years. However, the master builder had not completely given up on looking for him.
Zhang Heng had also participated in the search. Unlike others, he did get some useful information and followed the clues to find Vandal King's whereabouts. However, since the other party had nothing to do with his main quest, Zhang Heng did not bother him.
Of course, four years had passed since then, and Zhang Heng wasn't sure if he was still there. So, he used his mobile phone to search for him in the KTV.
"Misleading us? What do you mean?" The waiter scratched his head, then saw a figure not far away, and his eyes lit up. "Ha, isn't that Flame Girl? Wow, I haven't seen her for a long time. Since Vandal King disappeared, she has applied for retirement. It's so nice to see these old faces again. Maybe we can ask her to come back and deal with Evil Scientist with us. I still remember that her flames are very powerful, and there's nothing she can't burn."
The waiter walked over as he spoke.
It was a Chaoshan kway teow shop, and the woman called Flame Girl was wiping the table. When she heard the footsteps behind her, she didn't look back. "Have a seat. What would you like to eat?"
"Hi, Flame Girl, I didn't know you were working here. We've encountered some trouble. Evil Scientist wants to destroy the city, and we need your help. Can you give me a beef kway teow? I'm almost hungry." The waiter moved a stool and sat down.
The familiar yet strange title stunned the woman who was wiping the table. This time, she finally turned around. "Demon Butcher?"
"And me …" The bald man also walked over. "Long time no see, old friend."
"I'm sorry, who are you?" Flame Girl frowned.
The bald man covered the bald part of his head with his palms.
"Oh, it's you, the guy who kept pestering Candy Baby. You need to improve your gift picking skills. No man will give Sophie as a gift."
"No, you've got the wrong person. I'm just an ordinary person who was passing by to watch the show." The bald man said solemnly, "Also, let me introduce you to the two beside me. They are the chosen ones, and the one who hasn't spoken is the messenger."
"…"
"Alright, what brings you here?" Flame Girl put away the rag in her hand.
"As I said, we need your help," the waiter continued, "Also, add more Shacha sauce to my kway teow."
"Sorry, I can't help you. As you can see, I'm no longer a master builder. Now, I'm just an ordinary self-employed person, but the kway teow won't be a problem." Flame Girl shrugged.
"Actually, we're not here for you," Zhang Heng said.
"What do you mean? Who else can we look for if not her?! "The bald man was puzzled.
"Aren't you going to ask the chef to come out and meet us?" Zhang Heng looked at Flame Girl.
The latter's expression changed slightly, "Meet what? Are you looking for the wrong person? "
As soon as she said that, the chef inside walked out. "Ah Gang isn't back yet? Do you want me to pick him up? Hey, there's a new customer."
"Vandal King, I've heard a lot about you," Zhang Heng said.
"Who is it? Vandal King is here too?!" The bald man looked around curiously, but he didn't see anyone else in the kway teow shop. His eyes finally moved to the fair-skinned, chubby chef in front of him. "No way, you said this guy is Vandal King?! It's impossible, right? A terrifying villain who fought with all the master builders and made the people of the entire city fear him. Isn't he too, uh … ordinary? "
"Ha, it's been a long time since someone called me that." The fair-skinned, chubby chef scratched his head and readily admitted his identity. "When I was young, I was ignorant. All I wanted to do was to become famous and gain the attention of the people around me. For that, I didn't hesitate to make the whole world my enemy, causing you a lot of trouble. But after I got married, I finally understood what a man's responsibility is, especially after Flame Girl got pregnant and gave birth to our first child. We rented a storefront here and opened a kway teow shop. So don't worry, I've completely turned over a new leaf over the years. I haven't even unrolled a roll of tape. In fact, I've forgotten how to unroll things, hahaha."
The waiter was shocked when he heard that. "This is not good news to be happy about. We're here to unroll things! The Evil Scientist has built an army of androids, and he will destroy the world in 28 hours. We can't stop him with just our manpower. We need your help, Vandal King! "
"Well … I was indeed very good at dismantling things. No one can dismantle things better than me, but now I'm really just an ordinary chef in a kway teow shop. I can't do what I used to do," Vandal King said. To prove this point, he deliberately picked up a small stool on the side.
As a result, after three minutes, he couldn't even remove a leg of the stool.
And everyone present could see that he wasn't pretending. He was really trying his best, but because of this, the result was even more shocking. The speed of his deterioration was simply unprecedented.
"See, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I've really lost my ability," Vandal King said. "If it's possible, I also want to make up for the mistakes that I've made and do my part to save the world. But I'm sorry, I'm no longer the person you're looking for. However, there's always a gain when there's a loss. Although I've lost my amazing destructive power, I now have excellent culinary skills. You must try my kway teow. I'm not bragging, but it's probably the best kway teow in a ten-mile radius. Since you're old friends of Flame Sister, I'll give you a 50% discount. Let me calculate, it's a total of 50 yuan for the five of you. In addition, I'll give each of you two beef meatballs, guaranteed to be chewy."
