"May I have your name?"

Although Gu Shi wanted to find out some information from the little boy, he did not forget that they had just met. No matter what, it would be better to first improve their relationship.

The little boy replied, "My name is Anthony. What's yours, big brother?"

Not only did Gu Shi want to get closer to Anthony, but Anthony also wanted to have a good relationship with Gu Shi.

After all, this is a ready-made God of Wealth. He is willing to give him a tip just for chatting, and judging by the way he is dressed when he is taking care of him, he is most likely a powerful professional.

Anthony knew that the family situation had not been good recently, and he hoped that he could be of some help to his parents.

Thinking of this, Anthony's tone became more cheerful. Although he always liked to say that he had grown up, this did not prevent him from using his youthful appearance to gain the favor of others.

Gu Shi smiled and said, "Hello, Anthony, I'm Gu Shi."

The two of them started chatting, and since both sides wanted to get close to each other, their relationship naturally became closer quickly.

After a while, they became familiar with each other. Anthony kept calling Gu Shi Brother, and they didn't look like strangers at all.

Gu Shi felt that the time was almost right, so he began to ask Anthony about the situation here.

"Anthony, can you tell me about the situation in this city? I just came here not long ago and I'm still recovering from my injuries. I don't know much about the situation in the city."

Although Gu Shi also wanted to disguise himself as a native of this city, he knew nothing about this place and was obviously an outsider. It was better not to tell a lie that would be easily exposed when others asked about it.

Thinking of the recent martial law in the city, Gu Shi pretended to be someone who had been in the city for a while, but had been recuperating from his injuries, so he was not familiar with the city. This way he could make the time of his entry into the city as vague as possible.

"Is that so? No wonder Brother Gu Shi's name and appearance clearly show that he's not from our side. It turns out he was one of the people who fled here earlier."

Anthony quickly identified his identity based on what Gu Shi said, and then introduced him to the people very enthusiastically.

"Brother Gu Shi, don't worry. Our Marino City is quite safe. Since the city lord moved Marino City to this space five years ago, no enemy has ever invaded.

Although the city has been under martial law for some time, this situation has happened before. Don't worry too much, Brother Gu Shi, it will be fine."

Obviously, Anthony understood Gu Shi's intention as him asking whether there would be any danger in the city recently, so Anthony directly calmed Gu Shi's emotions.

Gu Shi was naturally very happy to hear that Anthony cooperated and admitted his identity.

Gu Shi didn't correct Anthony's previous words, but continued with what he said: "Really? That's great, I've always wanted to find a suitable place to settle down.

Hearing what you said, it seems I can find a place to live in Marino City for a while and observe the situation here."

Hearing this, Anthony's desire to make money suddenly became intense. "Brother Gu Shi, don't you have a suitable place to live? Then why not take a look at our room? The conditions are among the best on this street."

Anthony was not lying. His family was considered a relatively wealthy family on this street, so their residence was certainly not too bad.

Gu Shi was a little surprised. "I didn't realize that your house can provide accommodation in addition to meals?"

Anthony's restaurant is located on the ground floor of a three-story building. From the outside, this building does not look like a building with a restaurant on the first floor and rooms above.

Anthony shook his head, "It's not what you think, Brother Gu Shi. The room I'm talking about is the room our family plans to rent out.

There are only three of us in our family: my parents, I, and them. Two rooms are enough for us to live in. In order to make more money, my parents have cleaned up the remaining empty rooms and are preparing to rent them out.

How about it, Brother Gu Shi, do you want to come and see the room?"

Gu Shi naturally would not refuse Anthony's invitation. He had nowhere to go, and now he had the opportunity to live in the home of Anthony, a possible important figure. Of course, he had to seize this opportunity.

Gu Shi nodded. "Okay, can you take me there now? It's getting late. If possible, I'd like to stay here tonight."

Anthony was very happy that he had easily concluded a deal. "Of course, but Brother Gu Shi, have you finished your meal?"

"Well, I wasn't that hungry anyway, so this will do."

Gu Shi only took a few bites of the large portion of toast that Anthony had just brought over. Although the bread was indeed toasted very fragrantly and I had tasted it just right, black bread was still black bread after all, and Gu Shi didn't like it very much.

The wine in the glass was quite good. Although it was called wine, it didn't taste like alcohol at all. Instead, it had a sour and sweet taste. Gu Shi liked it very much.

In addition to the taste issue, Gu Shi was still a little worried about whether the food here was edible, so he didn't eat much.

Anthony looked at the remaining toast and asked with some regret, "Can I take the rest?"

Anthony noticed this when he was talking to Gu Shi just now. Gu Shi only took the piece of bread at the edge and left the rest untouched. It would be a pity if they were just thrown away.

Gu Shi replied: "Of course."

"Brother Gu Shi, wait for me."

After getting Gu Shi's answer, Anthony quickly ran back to the restaurant and got a clean piece of wax paper. He quickly wrapped up the remaining bread.

After doing all this, he looked up at Gu Shi, smiled brightly and said, "Let's go, Brother Gu Shi, I'll take you to see the house."

Gu Shi stood up and followed Anthony into the small restaurant.

During the time he and Anthony were chatting, the alchemical sun in the city had completely set, and a dim candle was lit in the restaurant.

Seeing Gu Shi following Anthony in, a middle-aged man came forward and said, "Hello, guest, I am Anthony's father. I just heard from Anthony that you plan to rent a room in our house, right?"

Could he see me, too? It seemed Anthony wasn't the only one who was experiencing this, but that my state of being had changed.

Gu Shi thought about it and said, "Yes, could you please take me to check the situation in the room?"

"Of course no problem, please come with me."

Anthony's father picked up the dim candle and prepared to lead Gu Shi up the narrow stairs on the side.
