Her gaze became gentle unknowingly. A sweet smile bloomed on the beautiful café waitress's originally serious face as she said gently, "That's right, I'm a Frenchman. I'm born to love adventure and travel. Other people think that the world is terrible now, but I like it very much.
Right now, I'm traveling around the world that may last for a lifetime. I wandered all the way to Atata City, and I've temporarily settled down due to the lack of travel expenses. I plan to work and continue my journey. "
In the eyes of the black-haired figure, it was simply unbelievable that a girl who did not possess any supernatural ability wanted to travel all over the Colossal World. Only a madman would have such an idea. However, he could not find any trace of madness in the eyes of the blonde girl in front of him that were filled with hope and excitement when she mentioned her dream.
"You think too highly of yourself but the world is too miserable, Zhang Lisheng." His heart shuddered inexplicably. After a moment of silence, the black-haired figure suddenly chuckled and muttered to himself, "You're not a savior at all, so there's no need for you to consider the meaning of human existence or the existence of life.
Since you've already started to spin along with the dance of fate, you can just continue to spin like a top. At the very least, you don't have the qualification to 'stop' yet … "
"W-What's wrong with you?" When the beautiful waitress saw the customer who had turned from an annoying person to a charming person, she suddenly laughed hysterically and even muttered some inexplicable words. After a moment of shock, she subconsciously took two steps back and said with concern, "It's alright if you don't order anything. Perhaps, I can treat you …"
"Thank you for your kindness. I'm fine. I'm just feeling ridiculous for asking for trouble just now," Zhang Lisheng interrupted the waitress's words. After pondering for a while, he took out an inconspicuous black leather bag the size of a baby's fist from his pocket and tossed it over. "Take it and realize your dream, Miss Waitress. I wish you good luck."
"Oh my God …" Subconsciously, the blonde girl caught the small leather bag and felt her hands go numb from the impact. Shocked, she untied the string wrapped around the mouth of the bag and saw the naked rough diamonds the size of a cat's eye in the bag. She could not help but let out a cry of surprise.
After a moment of inexplicable panic in her heart, she hurriedly tied up the black leather bag again. As she handed it back to the overly generous customer, she said, "I can't accept this, it's too expensive …"
"It's just a tip. Hmm, or perhaps, just take it as a 'dream sponsorship' from a stranger who has accepted your concern. In short, don't take it to heart. Can you accept it?" Of course, Zhang Lisheng would not take back the leather bag. With a smile, he shrugged and said.
The faint smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to have a silent magic, making the blonde girl unable to refuse again after seeing it.
After a moment of silence, the girl nodded handsomely. With a blushing face, she took the initiative to invite, "Alright, since it's a tip, I'll accept it.
In exchange, I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat tonight for free. After dinner, maybe we can go for a drink, dance, watch a movie or something. What do you think? "
"It sounds tempting, but I have something urgent to do. I'll have to leave Attao tonight, so I'm sorry …" Zhang Lisheng shrugged again and said with a smile.
"Oh, how embarrassing! I knew it would be like this! It's always like this every time I meet someone I like …" When the beautiful waitress heard the black-haired man's refusal, her face turned even redder right away. Lowering her head, she cursed in a low voice in exasperation.
A few seconds later, when she raised her head again, her eyes were already a little red, but she pretended not to care. Bravely, she continued to look straight into Zhang Lisheng's eyes and suddenly asked, "Then, as my 'dream sponsor', you should at least tell me your name, right?
Let me tell you my name first. My name is Jacqueline, Jacqueline Bourgeois. "
"My name is Wizard Li. In the future, if you realize your dream and encounter any danger when you travel around the world, remember to call my name and you'll get the courage and strength to escape, Miss Jacqueline." Looking back into the blonde girl's watery eyes, Zhang Lisheng hesitated for a moment before replying gently.
"I'll get courage and strength just by calling your name? Do you think you're …" Upon hearing such an answer, the self-reliant and stubborn waitress still forced a smile despite feeling gloomy. Pretending to be relaxed, she suddenly choked on her words when she saw the change in the eyes of her favorite guest.
The pupils that were originally as clear as crystal were now filled with extreme emotions of indifference, majesty, depth, and so on. The brilliance that was as vast and eternal as the stars in the universe made her speechless for a long time. It was only until the black-haired young man had left that the other waitresses patted her shoulder curiously and asked, "What's wrong, Jacqueline? Are you alright?" She finally snapped back to reality.
After that, Jacqueline shook her head a little absent-mindedly and suddenly turned around to tell her young and beautiful companion beside her, "It's nothing, Bo Li. It's nothing … Oh, I slept too late last night.
I'm not feeling well today. Help me tell the foreman that I'll go home early to rest today. "Then, she hurriedly ran out of the cafe in her high heels.
"Hey, Jacqueline! You haven't changed your clothes and shoes yet!" Her companion looked at the panicked back of the waitress, who had always seemed to have her own ideas and had a firm personality, in shock and shouted in disbelief.
"It's alright, Bo Li. Just help me put them away." Jacqueline, on the other hand, only waved her hand without looking back and rushed out of the cafe's glass door. She looked around anxiously on the crowded street, but she could not find the person she wanted to see at all.
"A-Are you really God? Buddha, Odin, Allah … Oh, this is absurd!
You're really crazy, Jacqueline! You've gone crazy for a man! You've gone crazy … "The blonde girl stood at a loss and looked around for a long time before muttering to herself," But who exactly is he? Who exactly is he … "Unknowingly, tears of disappointment finally fell from her eyes.
At this time, the Wizard Li god, who did not know that his inadvertent action had already won the heart of a romantic and affectionate French girl, had already left Atata 'o City and re-entered the jungle.
The verification of the information that he had obtained by luck in one day would take a hundred times longer if he wanted to turn it into the foundation of a brilliant plan. However, to Zhang Lisheng who wanted to accumulate the power of faith, it was not a waste at all.
After that, he patiently walked through the primeval forest and carefully avoided the Atlanteans as he continued to head west. Gradually, he began to discover more and more traces of the war between Atlantis and Tatdu.
On the afternoon of the nineteenth day after he left Atata 'o City, a drizzle that lasted for several days had just ended. The scorching sun hung high in the sky and the evaporated water vapor caused the dark jungle that was covered by the dense canopy and vines to become hot and humid.
From the roots of a towering fir tree that was at least a hundred years old protruding from the ground, Zhang Lisheng jumped to a deep clear pond more than ten meters away. Squatting down, he poured a handful of water on his head and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Most of the supernatural beings could not be burned by fire or drowned by water, let alone Zhang Lisheng who had already conquered two complete 'worlds' and could travel in space without the help of any tools. To him, the pain of trekking in the scorching heat was nothing at all.
However, a god was not an emotionless mountain rock. Being able to survive in an extremely harsh environment did not mean that he did not care about it at all. Even if it was just a little more comfortable, it would still be good. Otherwise, whether it was in the ancient legends or the real life of the Colossal World, most of the gods would not live a life that was far more extravagant and comfortable than the mortal emperors.
"I really don't understand. It's the same water, but why would the water that is condensed and cooled by divine power feel different from this naturally cool underground water, be it when I pour it on my head or when I drink it?
Could it be that nature is really greater? " After feeling the coolness on his forehead, the Wizard Li god stretched his body in satisfaction and leaned over to drink a few mouthfuls of the cool pond water. Smacking his lips, he muttered to himself. Suddenly, the corner of his eyes twitched, and he turned over and dived into the pond.
At once, the dark jungle regained its tranquility. Even the sparse chirping of insects and birds could hardly be heard anymore. It was only until more than ten seconds later that a series of crackling sounds of burning flames came from afar and gradually approached from the sky that the silence was broken once again.
Then, a series of fireballs broke through the canopy of the jungle and crashed to the ground with a burning smell. By the time the flames that turned into beams of light because of the impact force exploded and dispersed, more than ten Atlanteans wearing neat military uniforms were revealed.
"Atanas, quickly take away the flames! It'll be troublesome if it causes a forest fire!" A man with a strong temperament and wise eyes frowned the moment he landed and straightened his waist in pain. It was apparent that he was the one with the highest rank among this group of red-haired aliens. The moment his feet landed on the ground, he ordered loudly. Even though he was in a mess, he did not lose his calm attitude at all.
"Yes, Sir!" Upon hearing his order, the guard who was guarding the strong man answered loudly. With a flip of his palm, the light stone that had lost its luster lit up in his hand and pointed at the blazing flame above his head.
At that instant, the flame that had already spread rapidly on the canopy of the jungle, giving off thick black smoke and swaying with the wind, suddenly stiffened like a living animal. A beam of light was strangely born and radiated down obliquely, connecting to the light stone in the palm of the Atlantean guard.
When the light first appeared, it was only as thick as a bamboo chopstick, and its brightness was barely visible to the naked eye. However, as time went by, it rapidly became thicker and brighter. After more than ten seconds, it had already turned into a dazzling beam of light.
At the same time, even though the fire above the Atlanteans was surrounded by flammable branches, it seemed to have lost its fuel. Not only did it lose its expansion momentum, but it also slowly shrank until it was extinguished.
