During breakfast the next day, Zhang Heng asked Philip if there was a commercial street nearby.
"You want to buy Lego bricks?" Philip looked surprised.
It was no wonder he was surprised. In his impression, Zhang Heng was a typical tough guy in action movies, a man who could take down a group of people by himself without much expression on his face. When he went to the bar, he would order the strongest alcohol. Even if he was shot, he could clench his teeth and pick out all the bullets from his body alone in the bathroom, and he wouldn't even frown during the process.
So when Philip saw Zhang Heng drinking a glass of warm water when he woke up in the morning, and eating a nutritious breakfast with meat and vegetables, and a fried egg, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss. Now that he heard that Zhang Heng wanted to buy Lego bricks, his expression became a little strange. No matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't figure out why Zhang Heng wanted to buy a bunch of puzzle toys.
However, Zhang Heng didn't care what other people thought of him. He had always been such a person, and he didn't care about the environment. In the beginner's quest, he tried eating coconuts for three meals a day. Now that the conditions were better, he didn't have the habit of self-abuse. Maintaining a good diet would keep his body in peak condition for the rest of the game.
"If you want to go shopping, we are not far from Jinmeide Avenue. The Star of Nice department store is there. Although it's not as famous as the Grand Empress Dowager, it's still one of the best shopping malls in Nice." Waldo had just scooped two crepes for himself when he heard Zhang Heng's words.
"Very well, let's go there." Zhang Heng finished the last croissant on his plate and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"Uh, but I haven't finished eating yet …" Waldo looked at the crepes on his plate.
"You're on your fifth plate, right?" Philip's eyes widened.
"Because it's free. It's a waste not to eat it," Waldo said confidently.
…
After finishing the crepes, Waldo ate a fruit platter, drank two glasses of orange juice and milk, went to the bathroom, and reluctantly left the hotel restaurant.
It was only then that Zhang Heng realized that this guy could eat so much. He heard from Philip that he had been living in his mother's attic and rarely went out. However, with the way he ate, he was slightly thinner than the average person. Zhang Heng could only sigh at how powerful his genes were.
The three arrived at the Star of Nice at 9: 42. Since it was not yet business hours, the three had to wait outside for a while. Fortunately, it did not take long for the mall to officially open. After that, they found a LEGO store inside.
In the store, he bought five boxes of Lego bricks in one go and made sure that all the parts and models he needed were included.
Once again, Zhang Heng experienced what it meant to have a DSLR ruin his life and Lego make him poor for three generations.
He checked his credit card before, and unfortunately, there was no money in it. However, there was an overdraft limit of about 2,000 euros. Just a single Lego purchase had cost him 500 euros, almost a quarter of it.
And as soon as he walked out of the store, Zhang Heng encountered some trouble. Although the mall's security guards pretended to be doing routine patrols, Zhang Heng was keenly aware that he was their real target. At the same time, Philip and Waldo deliberately kept their distance from him.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Zhang Heng looked at Philip calmly.
Philip's expression was one of shock and fear, and he had no idea how Zhang Heng saw through him. On the other side, Waldo was still trying to salvage his acting skills. "Ah, what did you say?"
Zhang Heng opened one of the boxes of Lego bricks, quickly picked out a handful of parts, and put them in his pocket. After that, he threw the remaining four boxes of unopened Lego bricks to Philip. "Keep these things for me for the time being."
"Huh?" Philip was dumbfounded.
"Although I won't kill you if you lose them, you'd better not do anything irrational when I'm in a bad mood," Zhang Heng said, leaving behind one last piece of advice.
At this time, five security guards had already walked in front of him. At the same time, Zhang Heng also saw two plainclothes policemen walking into the mall's entrance.
One of the security guards reached out and tried to grab Zhang Heng's arm when he wasn't looking, but Zhang Heng easily dodged it. At the same time, his companion also rushed over. Zhang Heng didn't want to fight this group of people head-on because there was no benefit in winning. So, he just took down one of them and quickly escaped from the encirclement.
He rushed to the elevator not far away as fast as he could. However, as soon as he stepped on the elevator, it suddenly stopped moving. About a second later, it began to move in the opposite direction, causing the passengers on the elevator to stumble. At the same time, they exclaimed in shock.
Seeing that Zhang Heng had escaped from the encirclement, the two plainclothes policemen could no longer hide their identities and rushed over.
Zhang Heng looked at the messy elevator. Clothes and shopping bags were scattered everywhere, and some people had fallen. In the end, he gave up on this route. At the same time, after this incident, he realized that he seemed to have underestimated the team behind Philip and Waldo.
Now, it seemed that not only could they turn the casino's video poker machine into their ATM machine, but they could also hack and control some electrical equipment at the same time.
Of course, things like elevators weren't connected to the Internet, and they couldn't launch an attack directly from the Internet. Zhang Heng remembered the two elevator maintenance staff when the mall first opened. In that case, the other party must have been prepared for a long time.
When did it start? Breakfast?
Speaking of which, Waldo went to the toilet once because he ate too much breakfast. Did he use that opportunity to contact his team? No, it should be earlier. He must have contacted his team when he was sleeping on the sofa in the living room at night.
So the other party had a whole night to prepare. It was just that in the morning, Zhang Heng proposed to come to the Star of Nice. Waldo must have told his team the location when he went to the toilet.
These mall security guards and plainclothes policemen who suddenly targeted him were obviously their doing. Zhang Heng didn't know how they did it, but now was not the time to care about such things.
The top priority now was to leave the mall. While Zhang Heng was thinking, his hands did not stop moving. He blindly put together a taser in his pocket and plugged it into the Infinite Building Block as a weapon to deal with the security guards in front of him and the plainclothes policemen downstairs.
On the other side, Philip and Waldo did not waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking advantage of the chaos, they ran to the safe passage. This was also the first time they had a chance to get out of Zhang Heng's control. The two geeks unleashed all their physical strength.
