"Boss, this is delicious! If it's so good, why is there so little business?"
Hearing Wang Zheng's words, the boss wasn't angry. He pulled out the chair opposite Wang Zheng, sat down, and then said:
"Young man, you're not from Kunming, are you? Even the best food gets boring after a while. Besides, in Kunming, you can see more than a dozen Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodle shops every few steps. Who would still want to eat here?"
Wang Zheng thought about it and realized it made sense. He looked up and saw that there were several shops with signs hanging up on this secluded street.
Then, looking at the boss in front of him with his dark brown skin, inner canthal folds on his upper eyelids, and imposing physique, he tentatively asked:
"Boss, you're not from Kunming, are you? How many years have you lived here? I must say, your rice noodles are truly authentic."
The boss chuckled and said, "Young man, you have a sharp eye. I was assigned to work here when I was young, but some things happened and I just stayed. It's been almost twenty years since then."
Wang Zheng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he looked at the boss in front of him, so he secretly opened the scanner and took a look.
The result also startled Wang Zheng.
Stamina: 700/700
Spiritual Energy Value: 99/99
Physical condition: 70
Strength: 44
Intelligence: 15
Spirit: 5
Agility: 36
Five Beasts Horizontal Training Method: Agility (431/500) Additionally increases Constitution, Strength, Intelligence, Spirit, and Agility by 5 points each.
"hiss--"
Wang Zheng gasped. Good heavens, he looked familiar, damn familiar.
The opponent's five points of mental attributes were so dazzling.
There was no reaction to Wang Zheng's scan, and he also only had a spiritual energy limit of 99 points, which also indicated that this boss was not an Awakened at all.
This data panel looks exactly like the one my old man has.
The boss said that he was assigned to Yunnan, which means he was assigned to the Yunnan Military Region.
Later, due to injuries and illness, he was discharged from the army and stayed in Yunnan instead of returning home.
Moreover, judging from his attributes, he should be different from his father. He is a genetically engineered warrior with special physical abilities. I just wonder if he has a cool title like his father.
Although he had some suspicions, Wang Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he did not ask any further questions.
He planned to ask his father or Old Man Chu when he had time.
Wang Zheng looked at the shop owner across from him, who seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and asked while eating large mouthfuls of rice noodles:
"Boss, I guess you're originally from Mongolia, right? What should I call you?"
The boss smiled and nodded: "Is it that obvious? My name is Bart, but my friends call me Old Bart."
Wang Zheng: ? ? ?
"Another one who's never satisfied with taking advantage. If that's the case, all your friends will be calling you 'Dad.'"
Wang Zheng retorted speechlessly, "Isn't it obvious? Your aura gives off that vastness of the grasslands. But I have to say, your seniority is really high."
After hearing this, Boss Bart was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"You're really funny, this is the first time I've ever heard someone say that!"
...
Wang Zheng finished the last bit of soup in the large bowl and didn't plan to leave any more. Anyway, he had already memorized the location, so he wasn't worried about not having a chance to see it again in the future.
So he asked directly, "Uncle Ba, I heard there's an Adventurers' Association in our Spring City. Do you know where it is? I'd like to go check it out, but I couldn't find it on my phone."
"Adventures' Guild?"
Mr. Bart was somewhat surprised, looking puzzled, as if he had never heard of the name before.
Wang Zheng was also puzzled.
Li Hao shouldn't have any reason to lie to himself about something like this, but why can't the phone navigation find it?
And even locals like Uncle Bart didn't know?
Wang Zheng thought for a moment and explained, "It's where awakened individuals from the common people go on adventures outside the city, accept missions, and turn in missions."
"Oh, you mean the Special Beast Handling Office, right? Go straight ahead, then turn right. It's opposite Yunshan Park in the north of the city."
Bart then realized what was happening and said...
Wang Zheng immediately searched for the new name on his phone, and the route and results appeared instantly.
'Why choose such a tongue-twisting name? Li Hao, too, never says the whole thing, just uses a common name. No wonder I couldn't find it. I'll definitely have to give him a good laugh next time we meet!'
Wang Zheng cursed viciously in his heart.
Now that he knew the location, he decided to go and see what was going on, since he hadn't been able to contact Old Man Chu anyway.
Without further ado, Wang Zheng let out a satisfied burp, patted his full stomach, slapped down a fifty-yuan note, hopped on his bike, and drove off.
He left without a second thought, so casually that the rice noodle shop owner chased after him for ages.
Wang Zheng thought he was chasing after him to ask for money, so he ignored him and pedaled even faster, speeding away in a flash.
Only the owner's cursing and shouting could be faintly heard in the wind: "You little brat, the 'Family Portrait' bowl is 75 yuan a bowl, can't you see such big words?! Damn it, don't let me see you again!!!"
