After not seeing each other for three to four months, Tina's' friendly greeting 'to Zhang Lisheng seemed to take a long time.
Sitting at the dining table and watching the young couple kissing at the door non-stop, Sheila suddenly teased, "Hey, hey! Miss, it's enough already, okay? Your lips are swollen and the roasted quail is cold."
"Mind your own business, Sheila!" Tina panted heavily and let go of the young man's neck. Pulling his hand, she walked to the dining table and sat down together with him. Unable to suppress the smile on her lips, she introduced, "Friends, this is my boyfriend, Zhang Lisheng.
Lisheng, this is Wallace, Sheila's boyfriend. He's also a New Yorker.
Kraft and his sister, Pamela, are the most powerful experts in Harvard's Climbing Association. The reason they came to New York is to go to Shrimp B1 Island and see what's so scary about it. I hope they can't find a way to get on the island.
You've met the others before.
Dukley, who was Trish's crazy pursuer last year, has finally become her new boyfriend this year.
Annie, your chief legal officer, Mr. Edward's daughter, and her boyfriend, Joey.
Finally, Christina. Do you still remember her? She's the first friend that Trish, Sheila, and I made in Harvard. "
Among the three young men whom Zhang Lisheng had never seen before, Wallace was the kind of tall and strong white young man who looked smart and humorous, just like Sheila's constantly changing boyfriends.
Kraft and Pamela, on the other hand, who came from Harvard's Climbing Association, were thin and strong with long arms and legs.
After listening to Tina's introduction, the young man smiled gently. Hello, Mr. Wallace … Miss Christina, it's nice to meet you again. " After greeting everyone familiarly and politely, he shook the bell on the table. "I'm starving, everyone.
The food on Shrimp B1 Island has a peculiar taste. It's been five days and I've barely eaten my fill at all. "
"I've already ordered five big meals for you, baby.
I've been really worried these past few days. The military has actually deceived all of you to go to the supernatural realm. No wonder they would rush to Stanford to pick you up in such an exaggerated manner.
If someone hadn't taken a photo and posted it online, I would have thought it was a joke when I received your message. "
"Tina, you really can't blame the military for this …" Zhang Lisheng explained with a smile. At this moment, the door of the private room was gently pushed open. A waiter walked in and asked with a smile, "May I know what I can do for all of you?"
"Oh, sorry, I wanted to order food, but my girlfriend has already ordered for me.
Um, could you please ask the chef to hurry up? My stomach is already growling. Just serve the bread and the appetizer together. "
"Yes sir, please wait a moment, your meal will be here soon." The waiter bowed and left the private room. Zhang Lisheng shrugged and continued the topic he was talking about earlier, "I think you must've learned about the monster horde from the forum.
The military only invited us to the island to decipher the 'Beast Tide'. They didn't expect that it was actually, erm, how should I put it … the precursor to the birth of supernatural creatures. This is really … "
"I wonder where you were when those supernatural creatures were born, Mr. Lisheng. Did you see the scene of the human gathering place being destroyed with your own eyes, or have you been hiding safely in the bunker?" Suddenly, Karf, who was by the side, asked.
"I was in the wilderness at that time, conducting a short scientific expedition. When I returned, I saw that the 'gathering place' was in a mess. However, it wasn't destroyed. Otherwise, there wouldn't only be one to two thousand people dead.
Not only that, it's not absolutely safe in the bunker. Monsters are born in the land and sand dunes, so it might be more dangerous to stay underground. " After Zhang Lisheng casually explained, the door of the private room was opened again. Several waiters brought in the bread and five appetizers at the same time. With a surprised gaze, they piled all of the plates in front of the young man according to Tina's order.
"Thank you." After Zhang Lisheng thanked them, before waiting for the waiters to leave the private room, he had already finished the bread and several cold dishes. Pouting, he said, "I can't even fill my stomach with ten portions of such a big meal …"
Society's evaluation of people was actually very strange. If it was when the young man had just arrived in New York, his rude behavior could be regarded as a 'country bumpkin' and an uneducated behavior in the eyes of others.
However, in just a short span of two to three years, he had created a net worth of billions from scratch, and had even become an academic elite specially hired by the government at the age of less than twenty to offer advice for the human's conquest of the foreign world. Naturally, his actions had become straightforward, unpretentious, and had his own outstanding personality.
"I can't add more appetizers, but I've already ordered three main dishes. There's a total of 15 large plates, but the portion is enough." Tina pushed the quail meat on her plate to Zhang Lisheng's plate and said with a smile, "I'm currently losing weight, so help me eat some first."
"Lose weight? Do you still need to lose weight? I think you're already slim enough …" Zhang Lisheng looked at Tina and said sweetly. At this time, Karf suddenly interrupted his words of praise and asked again, being ignorant of the current situation. "You were investigating in the wild when the disaster happened? How is that possible? The people who came back from Shrimp B1 Island all said that the island was as terrible as hell that night.
Even under the protection of the army, thousands of people still died. Mr. Lisheng, if you stayed alone in the wild, how could you come back safely? "
"Mr. Karf, actually, as long as you're strong and smart enough, it's not particularly terrible to stay on Shrimp B1 Island that night. You can just find a tribe of the foreign world's aborigines and live next to them, and you'll be able to completely avoid those monsters and beast tides.
Oh, perhaps you're going to ask again. According to the internet, even though the foreign world's aborigines look as short as midgets, they're actually as fierce as boxers when they fight. How could I possibly come across them in the jungle and survive? " With a blank expression, Zhang Lisheng picked up a shiny and sharp metal knife from the table with his left hand and stared at Karf before touching the blade.
Then, he suddenly extended a finger from his right hand and smashed the knife piece by piece, like using an iron bar to knock on a popsicle. "The reason I can survive is because I'm stronger and crueler than those aborigines.
I'll communicate with those who are polite to me peacefully.
When I come across those who provoke me, I'll break all the joints in their body and then … "
Zhang Lisheng picked up all of the knife pieces in his hand and slowly clenched his fist. He crushed the broken knife into a strange iron ball and threw it on the table. In the end, he said, "Then, I'll crush their heads.
Are you satisfied with this explanation? "
The room was dead silent. Under the young man's cold gaze, Karf's heart that had once conquered the peak of several thousand meters above sea level could not bear the burden and almost stopped beating. His face turned pale as his body began to tremble continuously.
Seeing that something might really happen to this capable young man after a while, Sheila suddenly said, "Oh Lisheng baby, you're so cool that it's suffocating.
However, you don't have to scare an ordinary person to death just because he's jealous that you have a good girlfriend and asked a few questions in a rude tone, right? "
"Sheila, is there anyone in this world who would not be scared to death?" Upon hearing Sheila's words, Zhang Lisheng suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile.
This smile made the frozen air in the room flow again. It also allowed Karf to finally get rid of the young man's nightmare-like deterrence. Panting heavily, he slumped on the chair.
Upon hearing his heavy panting, Zhang Lisheng looked back and shrugged. "Mr. Kraft, please forgive me for being straightforward, but with your current physical condition, it's not suitable for you to adventure on Shrimp B1 Island."
"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Lisheng." At this time, Pamela, who had been sitting next to her brother, seemed to have just snapped back to reality from a fantasy story-like encounter. Avoiding Zhang Lisheng's slightly sarcastic gaze, she stood up and glared at Tina, Trish, and Sheila. "Tina, Trish, Sheila, Karf and I will take our leave now.
Thank you for your hospitality today, but if you have another invitation in the future, I think we'll never participate again. Goodbye. "
After that, she suppressed the fear in her heart and pulled Karf up before running out of the restaurant's room.
In fact, at this moment, not only Pamela, but the other diners in the room were also baffled by Zhang Lisheng's magical performance. Other than that, they were also baffled by the three girls' indulgence toward him.
After all, even though Karf's behavior was a little rude, it did not exceed the necessary limit. On the other hand, Zhang Lisheng's words and actions were blatantly threatening Karf's life. In the eyes of the Westerners, these two things were two completely different concepts.
By right, as Tina's girlfriend, she would never let her boyfriend do such a thing at a gathering of friends. As the hosts of the gathering, Trish and Sheila should have long stopped him.
However, they did not know that in the eyes of the three girls, after getting used to Zhang Lisheng's method of killing when he was slightly offended, the fact that Karf was not inexplicably swallowed by the giant worm was already considered as the young man showing mercy to them out of consideration for their reputation, so what was the big deal about him saying a few tough words?
Tina, on the other hand, became silent for a while before explaining to Zhang Lisheng in a low voice, "Baby, Karf sometimes tries to please me, but he has never done anything excessive. Besides, you should also be able to see that I've already told him that you're the only one in my heart …"
"Tina, I'm not that petty and unconfident. I'll only feel proud if there's another man who admires and likes you." Zhang Lisheng interrupted the girl's words reasonably. "What Mr. Kraft did wrong was that a weak sheep should never take the initiative to provoke a lion. This is the order that the biosphere should have." "That's right.
The young man's bizarre argument made the room fall into silence again. After a while, Trish suddenly said, "Do you know, Lisheng? You're the only person in my life who I can never figure out what's on your mind, but every time you say something, I can't refute it at all.
This feeling is really, really strange! "
