Hao Ren could still vividly remember what Becky looked like when she first came to him. She was wearing a gray leather armor with a dagger and a long sword at her waist. She had a faded old wind scarf around her neck and her hair was tied into a ponytail because she had no time to take care of it. She looked like she had just returned from a road trip to Tibet. Although Becky was a beautiful girl at that time, she was a little rustic and could not hide her rough side as a mercenary.
Becky was like a different person now. If she walked on the street without a name tag on her head, no one would be able to tell that she was from another world...
"Not bad, right?" Becky noticed that not only Hao Ren, but the others around her were also surprised. She opened her arms and spun around proudly. "I picked the clothes myself. Your world is really not bad. There are beautiful clothes and delicious food everywhere. Although I always feel that your 'technology' is not very reliable, the other aspects are really good. It's much more comfortable than my hometown."
"Looks like you adapted pretty quickly." Hao Ren nodded in relief. This mercenary girl that he brought out by accident was the one that made him feel uneasy. Now that he saw that Becky seemed to like her current life, he felt more at ease. "But then again... where did you get the money to buy the clothes? Did Nangong Wuyue give it to you? "
"Prize money," Becky patted her chest proudly. "Nangong Wuyue and I signed up for some... err, I don't know what kind of activity it is. Anyway, it's a bunch of people competing in some messy things. If we win a few rounds, we'll get the prize money. It's really interesting. Speaking of which, the people in your world are really interesting. A bunch of people are competing, throwing knives, singing, and so on, and there are people watching. And after watching, they even pay for it. How free must they be … "
Hao Ren was stunned by Becky's words. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw Nangong Wuyue coming out of the kitchen. She was holding a big towel in her hand and was carefully rubbing it as she walked. Lil Pea's little head popped out from the gap of the towel and looked around.
She was following Raven 12345's cold treatment routine to complete the cooking routine.
"I was dragged along by her." Nangong Wuyue had overheard their conversation and she did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Becky's actions are really... The Goddess gave her the ability to understand languages and she figured out how to live here in just a few days. In fact, she doesn't even need anyone to take care of her. She saw that there was a TV station in the city that was organizing a variety show, and she insisted that I participate in it. I was worried that she would run over recklessly and cause trouble, so I followed her. In the end, she dragged me to sign up for the show.
As she spoke, Nangong Wuyue was already in front of the tea table. Lil Pea was already waiting in the towel. She calculated the distance and jumped out of the towel into his arms. The little one's tail was smooth and no one could catch her so there was no way she could jump out of the towel.
Lil Pea grabbed onto Hao Ren's clothes and swayed around like a spoiled child. He picked her up and sniffed. "Hmm, the smell of isatis..."
The others also passed Lil Pea around and nodded. "It smells like isatis." "It's isatis root." "It smells like sesame oil..."
After being cooked with isatis root, Lil Pea's body was filled with the sweet smell of medicinal powder. It was hard to say if this treatment could cure her cold, but at least Hao Ren felt that the people around Lil Pea were less likely to catch a cold. At this time, Vivian also asked Nangong Wuyue about her and Becky's experience in the past half a month. She finally understood the rich and colorful life of the two of them. If she had not asked, she would not have known that the two of them had been on TV! They were more or less local celebrities...
In fact, Hao Ren knew that the city's TV station often recorded some variety shows. Although he did not pay much attention to such things, he also heard that the city's TV station was quite good in this area. One of the most famous programs was "Citizen's Talent". Although it was called "Citizen's Talent", the program accepted applications from anyone, as long as they were currently living in the city. The content of the program was not fixed. The main purpose of the program was to showcase one's talent. It did not matter if one could smash rocks with one's chest, or shoot arrows with a hundred feet, or only know how to sing or dance. It was a stage for those who had a particular skill to show off. Every week, the program would hold a competition, and the winner would receive a prize. It was a talent show with no special features. Due to the low registration threshold and the variety of talents, it had a good reputation in the city.
Hao Ren did not expect that a mercenary girl from another world like Becky would excitedly come to the TV station to sign up. Should he say that mercenaries could adapt quickly in any environment?
"I can understand that Nangong Wuyue can sing..." Hao Ren listened to Becky talking about how interesting it was to record a TV show. He could not help but ask, "What talent do you have to show?"
Becky said matter-of-factly, "Crushed granite and reinforced concrete slabs on my chest."
Hao Ren was speechless.
There really was someone who could smash rocks with one's chest! But this tough lady, do you really think that your performance on the stage will not affect your image?
Becky was still proud. "I almost scared the judges to death. I put such a thick piece of granite on my body and used the bucket of an excavator to smash it. Sometimes it took me a few minutes to break it open. If the old man in the audience did not pass out, I might have made it to the end with this... Unfortunately, the TV station said that although this program was exciting, it was too violent. They insisted that I change to another one, so I had to change to a less flashy one."
"Actually, I forced her to change." Nangong Wuyue pouted. "She did not consider the physiological limits of an earthling at all. She used the Stone Skin Technique to compete with the excavator. I was worried that if it became popular, it would attract the attention of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Becky lowered her head dejectedly. "After that, I blindfolded and used a long sword to carve flowers on the tofu skin..."
Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. That was enough of her.
"Wuyue, you don't have to say it. It must be singing." Vivian looked at the siren enviously. "With your good voice, even if you can't remember the lyrics, you can probably make it to the finals with just a few hums. I'm so jealous of you. It seems like you can earn money quickly. Too bad I don't know anything else. Other than magic and flying, the only other thing I can do is cook."
Lily had an idea. "You can go up there and perform magic! Cover your hands with a piece of red cloth, and when you lift it up, a lot of things will fly out... "
"I can transform into a pigeon! I only have bats here! "
"Then you can perform to smash rocks with your chest. Your physique is not any worse than a human like Becky. Even if she used the Stone Skin Technique, she might not be as strong as you. Then we can form a team. You can smash rocks on your chest, and I'll smash them. "
Vivian looked at Lily with a strange expression. "You'll smash me in a circle, and your goal is to smash me into the ground. I won't be able to dig myself out, right?"
Seeing that the two superwomen were seriously discussing the topic, Hao Ren quickly pulled their attention back and said, "Stop it, just stay at home. Nangong Wuyue used to be a busker, she's more professional on stage than you guys. Don't even think about it."
There was something else he did not say. It was useless for Vivian to be envious of Wuyue's good voice. She should be envious of Wuyue's normal fortune. Based on this unlucky vampire's near-incurable poverty, even if she won a hundred thousand on the TV show, she might not be able to survive until she goes to the bank to deposit her money...
He knew that if he said this, he would not be able to eat that day. So, he did not dare to say it.
"You two have been having fun for the past half a month." Hao Ren laughed as he looked at the two. "But let me make one final confirmation. We didn't cause any trouble, right? As you know, our team is special. We have to be careful when we show ourselves. "
"Hey, don't be so careful, okay?" Becky waved her hand carelessly. "You're not a thief. Who can stand living so sneakily? Besides, Wuyue has been singing on the streets for decades, and nothing has happened to her. "
Wuyue smiled shyly. "We're just fooling around at home. But you... How are things? You seem to have done something big? I heard the Goddess talking about how you're getting more and more open-minded. "
Hao Ren told them about the past half a month. Becky and Wuyue could not help but sigh. While they might not be able to understand what life under the dome was like just from what they heard, the Aerymian elves' experience and the Great Migration were enough to move them.
"You're such a good person." Becky looked at Hao Ren, touched. "You're usually so quiet, and yet you're so capable... By the way, I'm almost done here. When are you going to send me home?"
When Hao Ren heard this, he was dumbfounded.
(There will be double tickets at the end of the month. Everyone save up for the 29th ~ ~)
