Zhang Lisheng knew very well that during the time he was away, the chances of a wandering aborigine tribe breaking into Tudenan was actually very slim. For this reason, when he heard Tugra's solemn answer, he did not say anything and merely smiled noncommittally before walking out of the bark house.
It was already the middle of August. Even though the sun was hot at noon, there was already a cool breeze in the evening. Placing his hand over his eyes to shade himself, Zhang Lisheng commanded Ghostface to jump onto the ground and return to his original form. Riding on the wizard gu, he rushed into the distant jungle amidst the prayers of countless aborigines.
Ghostface moved stealthily and quickly in the jungle. After two hours, Zhang Lisheng finally arrived at the human gathering place on Shrimp B1 Island before the city gate was about to close and entered the gathering place.
After leaving for more than two months, the gathering place had become much more prosperous than before, giving off a feeling of being overcrowded.
The young man pretended to sigh a long sigh of relief and patted the dirty clothes on his body. Mixing in the crowd, he came to the meat shop opened by the LS Group.
This time, the shop assistant did not rashly chase their 'big boss' away like last time. However, he only managed to recognize Zhang Lisheng's identity after looking at him for a while based on the jacket that he was wearing that had a lot of pockets.
Since Tony was not there, a tall and strong employee who seemed to be the temporary manager in the shop asked respectfully, "Mr. Zhang, you're back. Do you still need freshly grilled steak and iced Coke?"
"That's right. Is there any message from me recently?"
"Yes, your girlfriend and her two good friends have been waiting for you on the island for more than a month.
They come to the shop every day and they've just left today. " The tall and strong employee, who was wearing a chef's white uniform, quickly wrapped a few thick and fat steaks and put them together with half a dozen iced Coke as he answered.
"I've been waiting for more than a month. Where are they staying now? Is it still the Four Seasons Hotel on the island?"
"No, judging from their conversation, they should be staying at the Hilton Hotel that has just opened. There's a single villa suite there and during lunch this time, many of the business in the store are the rich people who live there and come to visit Shrimp B1 Island." As the tall and sturdy employee was speaking, he handed a sturdy kraft paper bag filled with food and drinks to Zhang Lisheng.
"Are you here for sightseeing on Shrimp B1 Island purely for sightseeing?" Zhang Lisheng took the paper bag and asked.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang. Recently, the 'Circum-American Tourism Company' has opened a luxury travel line on Shrimp B1 Island and the business is very good. Even though the guests must have US citizenship now, it is said that it will be gradually opened to the world soon."
A few months ago, thousands of Earthlings had died on Shrimp B1 Island due to the outbreak of the Emperor Molasses. Because of this, it had become desolate for a long time but now, it had become a tourist attraction again. This made Zhang Lisheng feel incredulous.
However, when he thought about it, the danger he encountered in the depths of the Amazon jungle a few years ago did not seem to be much smaller than on Shrimp B1 Island. However, there were still people who came to sightsee in the cannibal tribes of the Amazon, not to mention that Shrimp B1 Island even had a very attractive title of a foreign world's island. All of this seemed to be explainable.
"There's no shortage of madmen who have money and time on Earth," He shook his head and muttered to himself before turning to walk out of the meat shop.
Leisurely eating the steaks and drinking Coke on the street without caring about his image, Zhang Lisheng returned to his residence on the ground and took a hot bath. Then, he began to shave his beard and long hair before putting on a clean pair of shorts and a sweatshirt before leaving the house.
After walking on the street for a while, he casually found a passerby who looked kind and asked, "Sir, do you know where the Hilton Hotel is?"
"Hilton? Oh, other than the fact that it's very expensive, it's a really good place. Turn right on the street in front and walk all the way to the end of the road. You'll be able to see it," The passerby who was nearly middle-aged with a white beard said with a smile.
"Thank you!" The young man thanked him and walked briskly to the intersection not far away before turning straight. A few minutes later, he saw a bustling resort hotel appearing in front of him.
Under the pergola covered with grapevines, many tourists who seemed to be dressed casually but were very tasteful were sitting on the tables and chairs made of logs, tasting the dishes that matched the foreign world's and Earth's cuisine. When the grapes on top of their heads flickered and changed colors, only then did people realize that the grape trellis was actually a set of chic and interesting lamps.
Outside the pergola, a band that could almost perform a symphony was playing beautiful music. Several violinists wearing tuxedos and bow ties walked into the pergola from time to time and shuttled back and forth among the dining guests. Whenever they came across a man and a woman eating alone, they would deliberately play a short piece of cheerful music for them, eliciting a burst of applause.
Next to the band were more than ten waiters in neat uniforms. There were both men and women among them, and all of them appeared to be very professional. Whenever a guest walked out of the seemingly brand-new hotel lobby behind them or the independent villa suites next to the lobby, as long as they stopped for a moment, one of them would definitely go up to greet them and provide quality service in a proper manner.
If the various scenes that Zhang Lisheng saw were in Hawaii, Guam or any other island resort on Earth, it would not be surprising at all. However, when he was stunned for a moment, he turned his head to look at the pedestrians on the streets that looked like a medieval village city-state behind him. He could not help but feel that the Hilton Hotel was as unreal as a dream.
After calculating in his heart how much money he would have to spend to create such a scene on Shrimp B1 Island, the young man muttered, "Looks like the manager of the Hilton Group has lost his mind! To think that he would actually make such a big bet!" Then, he walked towards the hotel lobby.
When he was halfway there, he suddenly heard someone shouting under the pergola, "Lisheng! Oh my God! You're finally back! We've been waiting for you for almost 40 days! Come here! We're here! Come here …"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Zhang Lisheng saw three tall girls waving at him at the same time at an inconspicuous corner among the large group of diners. It was none other than Tina, Trish, and Sheila. He quickly went up to greet them.
"I'm sorry, Tina, Trish, Sheila. I was held up by something in the jungle." When the young man walked up to the girls and saw that there were already a few strangers on the round wooden table leaning against the wall of the hotel lobby, he shrugged and said, "I'll tell you the reason later. I believe you'll forgive me."
"Baby, if you want me to forgive you for waiting for 40 days, you must have a very, very good reason," Tina hugged Zhang Lisheng and gave him a deep kiss before whispering with a smile.
"If my reason is that I'm learning how to turn 40 days into four days, can you forgive me?" The young man whispered.
"Oh? You mean you've found a wormhole that can travel through time and space on this island?" Tina exclaimed in a low voice.
"Of course not." Zhang Lisheng looked at the three girls who surrounded him and shook his head in bafflement. Lowering his voice, he said, "I don't have the ability to reverse time.
However, I can almost do it if I can lengthen life and shorten 40 days by ten times from a philosophical point of view. "
The hint in the young man's words made Tina, Trish, and Sheila, who were very familiar with him, to gape at the same time.
"There's no danger? Will I turn into a monster?" After a while, Sheila, who loved excitement and challenges, was the first to snap back to reality. Excitedly, she pulled Zhang Lisheng's hand and shook it hard as she asked.
"Of course, there's still danger at the moment, but it's already been confirmed that I won't turn into a monster. Or rather, at least, I can freely choose between a monster and a normal person," Zhang Lisheng said with a smile. "Other than that, there's also a very good side effect, which is eternal youth."
"Y-God! Are you kidding me, Lisheng?" This time, Sheila could no longer suppress her ecstasy and exclaimed loudly. In the eyes of this New York socialite, being able to stay young forever was much more important than gaining a few times longer lifespan.
The girl's fuss inevitably attracted the attention of the other diners. Zhang Lisheng frowned and waved his hand, gesturing for her to keep quiet and no longer said anything.
Right at this moment, among the few unfamiliar young men and women who were sitting with Tina, Trish, and Sheila during dinner, a tall boy with bronze skin and a handsome nose suddenly stood up from his seat enthusiastically and said, "Tina, Trish, Sheila, this must be the Mr. Zhang Lisheng that all of you have been waiting for, right?
Let's not stand there and chat. I'll go ask the waiter to lick a chair so that we can get to know each other first … "
"Get to know each other? No, Robin, Lisheng doesn't need to get to know you.
Sh * t, we have something important to talk about. Aren't you full already? Didn't you want to go to the ice cream house to talk about your boring jungle adventure just now? Can you just leave now? Give up your seat!
I'm begging you! " The man thought that after a few days of contact, he had already built a friendship with the three girls. Not only that, but the way he spoke was also very appropriate. However, when Sheila, whose heart was already burning like it was on fire, heard the magical word 'eternal youth', she broke his confidence and said arrogantly.
"Sheila, you really like to joke around …"
"I'm not joking. Listen, Robin, let's go. Don't waste your time anymore …" When Sheila was about to spout nonsense again, Trish covered her mouth.
Right at this moment, even though they were a little far away, the waiter of the hotel's open-air restaurant still noticed that there seemed to be a new guest on the table at the corner, so he took the initiative to bring a chair over.
As though he did not see the dispute just now, Zhang Lisheng sat between Tina and Trish and ordered three dishes of foreign world's ingredients combined with the French chef's cooking that could only be eaten on Shrimp B1 Island. Then, he silently waited for the waiter to serve the dishes.
