Chapter 278 Settlement
This is what co-authorship is all about. After hearing this, I grinned.
This restaurant is quite famous in this area. With such a famous reputation, it is natural that he knows many dignitaries. Among them, Harold is naturally indispensable.
The door greeter didn't seem to know Harold, but he had a good eye. Seeing Harold's extraordinary clothes, he hurriedly came out to greet him. His expression was like greeting an old man from his family.
On the other hand, although I walked side by side with him, I was dressed simply and could even be said to be downright rustic, but I was completely ignored.
This situation continued until entering the lobby.
The lobby manager knew that he knew Harold. He was even more excited than when he met his own father. He stepped forward and said respectfully: "Sir Harold is here to visit us. It's really a glorious event!"
Harold nodded habitually.
The manager waved his hand, drove away the greeters, and personally led Harold the way, while secretly glancing at me.
From his eyes, I could feel surprise and disbelief.
"Are you curious as to why a high-ranking official would walk side by side with an adventurer dressed in such tacky clothes?" I muttered in my heart, but there was an everlasting smile on my face.
Soon, the lobby manager ushered us into the most luxurious private room in the entire restaurant, and enthusiastically poured Harold and me a cup of fine tea.
When handing me the teacup, he accidentally revealed the name of the tea, and introduced it naturally: This kind of tea can be considered top-notch in Airui City.
"Is this an insinuation that I haven't seen the world?" I thought.
But this is indeed the case. Not only have I never heard the name of this tea, but even after he told it, I didn’t remember it at all.
No matter how good your tea is, does it have anything to do with me?
Or are you taking the opportunity to mock me to praise Harold's status and worth?
With all due respect, does this have anything to do with me?
I was puzzled by this.
It seems that the lobby manager has never seen someone as stupid as me. After a few words, he lost interest in me and turned to Harold with a smile. He wanted to say a few polite words, which was almost too polite.
However, Harold waved his hand expressionlessly and said, "The food is still the same. It's none of your business. Please step aside."
The lobby manager's smile froze on his face, and all the polite words and compliments he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and not a single word came out.
After a short pause, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Okay, Master Harold, if you need anything, you can call me at any time."
After that, he withdrew unnaturally.
Before going out, don't forget to close the door.
After a moment of silence, I asked, "How did you complete your previous transformation mission?"
Harold said: "Very good, the God of Creation is very satisfied, and the mission rewards are much more generous than usual."
As he said that, he used a little bit of energy, and white light burst out instantly. It was indeed much stronger than when he first met him.
"Isn't this great?" I said casually, "What's the next task?"
Harold didn't answer, but stared at me.
I frowned in confusion: "What's that look in your eyes? What's wrong? Do you suffer from transient apathy? Don't you recognize me?"
Harold suddenly opened his mouth and said seriously: "An Xiaoyi, are you encountering difficulties?"
"Difficulty?" I sneered and said with a smile: "How could it be possible? I am such a domineering person, why would you dare to meet me if there is any difficulty? Even if you do encounter it, with my bad temper, I can just hit you with a knife, no matter what. What, keep it until you die."
"No." Harold denied my statement, but still said seriously: "You must have encountered difficulties."
"Hey, I said, why are you so stubborn? If I say I haven't met you, I haven't met you."
Seeing that Harold's expression was still very serious, I said helplessly: "Well, since you said I encountered difficulties, why don't you tell me what difficulties I encountered?"
Harold shook his head and said: "I don't know this. The difficulty is yours. If you don't tell me, how will I know?"
"Okay, I won't ask you this anymore." I moved closer to him and said, "Just tell me, how did you see that I was in trouble?"
Harold smiled slightly and said, "That's not easy. When I met you today, you were avoiding me."
"Hey, you can see this!" I confessed with a smile: "Yes, you are right, I did encounter difficulties, but it was not a big difficulty. With my own ability, I should It can be solved.”
"I believe what you say," Harold said, "However, with my help, I believe your difficulties will be solved faster and more conveniently."
"Why are you so confident?" I teased: "You eat Xuanmai, but you still drink Wangzai milk."
"You don't know me about this," Harold said, "I have always been so confident. I can solve many things in Airui City."
"That's true," I said with a smile, "No one wants to conflict with the authorities, let alone the captain of the urban management team in this town."
"Oh?" Harold also smiled: "You used the word well. My job is really the manager of this city. Well, what you described is very accurate and appropriate."
"Don't compliment me, I won't do that." I sighed and said, "To be honest with you, I did encounter difficulties. To be honest, it's not easy to solve. Of course, if I use your help , maybe it will be solved very easily, but..."
I put away my smile and said with a serious face, "I don't want to owe you any more favors."
Harold fiddled with the fork in front of him and said: "You are a bit biased when you say that. I can help you because you have helped me more. Take the sandworm teeth from before. If not With this idea you came up with, I may only be able to complete the task, but I won't be able to satisfy the God of Creation. This extra reward cannot be repaid with just a little bit of work."
As he spoke, he raised his head and said, "If I have to be serious, the one who really owes me a favor is me, not you."
"Hey, when you say that, it really sounds like that." I laughed and said, "If you really think that, I have nothing to say. By the way, do you really think that?"
Harold nodded solemnly.
"Oh." Looking at his expression, it didn't look like he was pretending at all, and I was instantly relieved.
"That's okay," I said, "Then I'll tell you the difficulties I encountered. Later, you can also tell me your tasks. One of us will solve the difficulty and the other will solve the task. Let's use it as a credit." Yes, we owe nothing to each other, how about it?"
Harold was silent for a long time and said, "That's fine."
