Chapter 247 Mission and Teammates 3
Amid the lively discussion, Li Fan nodded slightly and said seriously: "That should be the case. The entire land reclamation process cannot be carried out separately." He obviously agreed with Niu Lai's words.
Lan Ximeng was also thinking about something. She frowned slightly and felt that this should be the case.
She thought carefully that this time requirement might be to regulate everyone's actions. After all, if one party fails to complete the task on time, the entire plan will go wrong, and it is unknown how the person who arranged the task will deal with it.
Just as the few people were talking animatedly, the proprietress's voice suddenly rang out: "The food is here."
Her voice was full of enthusiasm and joy, breaking the previous discussion atmosphere. The proprietress walked over quickly, carrying plates of steaming food and snacks.
With her were a few short children who looked to be about seven or eight years old.
These kids look a little immature, but their movements appear extremely skilled. Each of them held a large plate with four or five dishes on it. The large plates made the children look even smaller, but they were not afraid at all. They moved swiftly and steadily and carefully brought the plates to the table.
The proprietress placed the food on the table one by one with a smile. The children also put down their plates and said in unison, "Please enjoy your meal." Their voices were clear and uniform, creating a warm atmosphere.
Lan Ximeng quickly responded, "Thank you." She picked up the fried rice and drink and began to taste them slowly.
The taste was pretty good, about the same level as the food in the food stalls near the school, which surprised her. She thought the food here would be a little unpalatable.
"It tastes good." Niu Lai took a bite of the dish he ordered and nodded with satisfaction.
The same went for the others, who had probably been hungry for a while and were now eating heartily without even raising their heads.
The whole restaurant was filled with the aroma of food and the sound of cutlery colliding, making it seem particularly lively.
Lan Ximeng took a sip of the local special drink. It had a thick grainy texture, sweet with a hint of bitterness, but the aftertaste was sweet, which was pretty good.
While sipping her drink, she asked curiously, "Where are we going next?"
The others also wanted to know the next arrangements, so they stopped eating and looked at Niu Lai, waiting for his answer.
Niu Lai swallowed the food in his mouth and said seriously: "We need to find a place first to check everyone's equipment and weapons. If necessary, we need to go to the rental office and borrow weapons."
Li Fan raised his hand and said, "I have weapons, but I need other weapons as backup." There was a hint of caution in his voice, and he obviously didn't want any accidents to happen in the next mission.
"I, I need a mecha!" Ding Xiahe raised her hand. As an ordinary person, she still lacked a lot of credits if she wanted to own a mecha of her own.
There was a hint of anticipation in her voice, but also some worry. After all, a mecha was a very valuable item, and she didn't know how much it would cost to apply for one.
Niu Lai flipped through the guides sent by other classmates. The guides all said that only a few teams with high-difficulty missions could apply for mechas. Their missions were not difficult, so they might not be able to apply for them.
"Mecha? That's a bit difficult." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, but he was also trying his best to find a solution.
"Ah, what should I do? Apart from mechas, I have only learned some close combat." Ding Xiahe didn't expect that she would be defeated here. There was a hint of loss in her voice.
"We shouldn't need mechas, right?" Li Fan felt that their mission was only to ensure safety and construction nearby, and they shouldn't need this powerful weapon.
There was a hint of comfort in his voice, trying to make Ding Xiahe not worry too much.
Ding Xiahe shook her head and said, "You have to have it whether you need it or not. It's for safety reasons." There was a hint of persistence in her voice, and it was obvious that she didn't want to compromise on the issue of safety.
"Mechas aren't an option, so are there exoskeletons and battle armor?" Lan Ximeng thought of the battle armor used by "Jiang Ge" in the illusion. His handsome appearance left a deep impression on her, and she couldn't help asking.
"Warframe?" Niu Lai looked at it in the guide and shook his head, saying, "No, even if there is, it is not standard." There was a hint of regret in his voice, but he also reminded everyone, "Improper weapons are very dangerous. We do have exoskeletons."
"Even if it's standard equipment, I won't use it. The same goes for the exoskeleton." Ding Xiahe was a little desperate, but fortunately her close combat skills were pretty good among her grade.
There was a hint of helplessness in her voice, but she tried to remain calm. "But my close combat is pretty good, so I shouldn't be a drag."
"In that case, Ding Xiahe, do you have any other weapons?" Li Fan asked with a hint of concern in his voice.
"Yes, enough." Ding Xiahe replied with a hint of confidence in her voice.
Niu Lai nodded and continued eating, seemingly thinking about the next arrangements.
Lan Ximeng was not short of food either, so she continued to finish the food in front of her leisurely. I picked up my drink, walked to the balcony and looked at the scene on the street below.
The environment here is similar to the small streets in the 21st century, with densely packed houses, narrow aisles, and pedestrians coming and going, making it particularly lively.
Looking at the hustle and bustle on the ground, her thoughts began to drift away and her eyes began to lose focus.
"We've finished eating, let's go." Ma Xixi's voice suddenly rang out. She walked over and gently pulled the dazed Lan Ximeng.
There was a hint of tenderness in her voice, which brought Lan Ximeng out of her daze.
Lan Ximeng came back to her senses, nodded, and asked, "Okay, but how much does this meal cost?"
There was a hint of curiosity in her voice; after all, her meal for six people cost quite a bit.
Ma Xixi pointed her chin at Niu Lai, who was walking in front of her, and said in a relaxed tone, "The captain's treat." There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice, as if she was mocking Niu Lai's generosity.
"Thank you, captain." Lan Ximeng said with a smile.
Lan Ximeng and Ma Qianqian followed quickly.
"Are we going to the rental house now?" There was a hint of anticipation in Ma Xixi's voice. She wanted to know what weapons she could find in there.
"Yes, it's on the street, right next to the points redemption building. After you have selected the useful ones, you can go to the redemption building to see if there is anything you need." Niu Lai turned around and spoke to the two of them.
Soon, they arrived at the rental house, which was packed with students.
There was a long line at the door of the rental office, and students were waiting to enter.
The interior space of the rental house is large, but it seems a bit crowded because there are too many people.
Various weapons and equipment are displayed on the shelves, ranging from simple swords to complex mechanical devices.
"I knew there would be a lot of people, but I didn't expect so many." Niu Lai pulled the corner of his mouth and said helplessly.
He turned around and said to the group, "Well, if you need anything, go get it. When you're done, bring it to me and I'll settle the bill."
"The cost of these rentals will be counted towards the team's budget. After completing this mission, we will take on some smaller missions to ensure that everyone can pass."
"Okay." Lan Ximeng and the others answered in unison, with a hint of approval in their voices.
The six people separated, and Lan Ximeng moved through the crowd alone. She carefully avoided the crowd and scanned the shelves to see if there was anything she could use.
There is no fear of having too many weapons.
