Ren Xiaosu looked at Wang Yuchi and the others again. He had to admit that Wang Yuchi and the others were much more mature than they were a few months ago. Just by looking at their faces, he could tell that they were a little darker, more muscular, and more confident when they smiled. They no longer looked like the frail students they used to have.
As a matter of fact, these children used to be students who only knew how to study and were focused on getting into college.
Even Wang Dalong, who used to be insensible, had become a lot more mature now.
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "You guys look like you've changed a lot."
Next to him, Old Wang said with a smile, "That's right. We even encountered some bandits at the beginning. It was all thanks to Ms. Jiang, Wang Yuchi, and the others, as well as the nanomachines you left behind for them. We were able to beat those bandits until they were screaming in pain. That's also the reason why I dared to bring the goods to the Northwest."
"Not bad." Ren Xiaosu patted Wang Yuchi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You can even beat bandits now? What's the delay of the nanomachines now?"
Wang Yuchi smiled and said, "I don't feel any delay anymore. It's within the acceptable range of my neural response. There are still two other students who can feel the delay, but we feel that they'll be able to improve their synchronization rate to a negligible level soon."
Ren Xiaosu nodded. It seemed like it was really as he had guessed. The reason the Li Consortium dared to send those refugees with high synchronization rates to their deaths was because their synchronization rate could be improved through training.
Of course, this also illustrated another problem. The Li Consortium had indeed used those refugees who had become nanosoldiers as cannon fodder. They were just guinea pigs.
Ren Xiaosu asked with a smile, "Were you afraid when you were fighting the bandits?"
"I was." A male student smiled and said, "But when I thought about it, I realized that since you were the one who did it for us in the past, we shouldn't be afraid either. Besides, we still have to protect everyone."
Ren Xiaosu looked at him, then at a female student next to him who had her eyes fixed on him the whole time. He chuckled and said, "Protect everyone? Or protect someone? "
The group of people roared with laughter. It seemed that the matter of this couple was no longer a secret. This was also normal. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. These young men and women had experienced so many difficulties and despair together. Naturally, they would develop feelings for each other over time.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu asked again, "Are you still reading?"
"Yes," Wang Yuchi replied. "When we were in the mountains, it wasn't that we couldn't live a hard life of being aloof from worldly affairs. It was Uncle Fugui who said it would be a pity if we students didn't have any books to read or study in the future. That was why he brought us out of the mountains. We wanted to earn more money and see if there were any universities in the Northwest where we could further our studies."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that Lao Wang had such thoughts. He felt that Lao Wang had done the right thing.
While Ren Xiaosu was chatting with the students, Big Bluff asked Old Wang to read his palm. He asked Old Wang, "How old are you this year?"
Wang Fugui smiled and replied, "46."
"Then you're a little younger than me. I'm 52. Since we're closer, I'll call you bro. How's that?" Big Bluff said as he held Wang Fugui's hand with a smile.
Wang Fugui did not reject him. Big Bluff continued, "Based on your palm, you're a middle-aged man who has a son. You should be 32 years old when you have a son, am I right?"
Wang Fugui was shocked. "How did you know?"
"Haha." Big Bluff pointed at the white banner with the words' Divine Fortune-Teller 'written on it. "I'm a fortune-teller, so of course I know. All these things are written on your palm."
"Oh, so you're a master. My apologies for not recognizing you." Wang Fugui was a little confused. "But aren't you an intelligence agent?"
"Ahem, intelligence work is just a side job." Big Bluff explained, "Fortune-Telling is my main job."
"Then bro, can you tell me what my future life will be like?" Wang Fugui asked.
When the Great Hoodwinker accurately stated his son's age, he believed him a little. At this moment, the Great Hoodwinker stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Your future isn't going to be too good. The Central Plains is a dangerous place for you. If you want to make a name for yourself, you'll have to head north. But the north is still not your best choice. You'll have to go to the Northwest and prosper in the Northwest! "
Wang Fugui thought about it. 'Isn't it just prospering in the Northwest? Ren Xiaosu has already become the Young Marshal of the Northwest. How can he not be rich and powerful?'
Big Bluff continued, "The word 'Wang' is also very particular in Fengshui. Wang is too mediocre. It originally means the demeanor of a king, but there are too many people with the surname 'Wang', which weakens its imposing manner. But if you add a little more to it, it will become the word 'Yu' to match the word 'Fugui' in your name. Otherwise, your surname will not be able to suppress your given name! Do you know where there is a lot of Yu? There is a lot of Yu in the Northwest … "
At this point, Big Bluff had already started to talk nonsense. In any case, his main idea was to get Wang Fugui to go to the Northwest.
If Wang Fugui and his entire family went to the Northwest, would Ren Xiaosu be able to stay in the Central Plains alone? That was impossible!
Since he could not convince Ren Xiaosu, he would have to convince Wang Fugui.
After that, when Wang Fugui went to the Northwest again, they would have already prepared a large amount of goods and were just waiting to tie Wang Fugui to them. They would not have to pay for the goods and could just sell them at the cost price!
To be honest, Fortress 178 was definitely rich and powerful when it came to minerals. They did not lack these goods at all!
As the two of them chatted, they started to talk about anecdotes about fortune-telling. Big Bluff bragged, "Back when I was young, I relied on my fortune-telling skills to win the hearts of countless young girls. I'm really good at it!"
Wang Fugui said with a smile, "Then you must be quite lucky with women. You must have had a lot of fun when you were young, right?"
"No." Big Bluff shook his head and said, "In our line of work, we don't allow relationships with our customers."
Ren Xiaosu, who had been listening in for a long time, sneered, "What? Are you in the funeral industry?"
Big Bluff was speechless.
Ren Xiaosu said to Wang Fugui, "Don't listen to his nonsense. What intelligence gathering is just a side job? He relied on his work in the intelligence industry to find out how old Wang Dalong is. No, you can find out by asking Zhang Jinglin about this. Then he asked you about your age because he wanted to use your age to subtract Wang Fugui's age. That way, he would know when you had Wang Dalong. "
Wang Fugui was enlightened. Next to him, Big Bluff said in exasperation, "Even Young Marshal can't just destroy someone else's job!"
"Alright." Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "I know why you're trying to fool him. Aren't you just trying to get me to go back to the Northwest? But I'll still say the same thing. Actually, I'm very grateful that everyone thinks highly of me. If you really think I'm suitable, or if I'm mentally prepared one day, I'll go back, but not now."
The Great Hoodwinker immediately beamed with joy. "That's good to hear!"
