"The food is here."

Just as everyone was chatting at the table, the door of the private room suddenly opened.

Several plates covered with dinner covers flew in from the air and landed steadily on the long table.

When they lifted the cover of the dinner plates, they saw a table full of delicacies from land and sea, birds and beasts waiting for them to enjoy.

"This super thick white hollow cylinder... is the so-called boiled egg roll?" Chu Hua felt very surprised. It seemed that this thing was really just a whole egg twisted into a roll with some force that she couldn't understand, and then thrown into water to boil.

After peeling off the shell and carefully taking a bite, Chu Hua felt the stimulation on his taste buds rushing straight to his brain. The delicious taste diluted the pain left by yesterday and brought with it a full desire to express himself. Finally, when it gathered at the corner of his mouth, he could only shout out these two words: "Delicious!"

"This kind of magical cuisine can only be found in restaurants under the Moon Forest umbrella." Xiangzi introduced it to Chuhua. "Most of the time, it's not that the ingredients are rare, but rather that the cooking method is difficult to replicate using technical means."

"After all, only Moon Forest can train magicians, and chefs who can perform magic are even rarer. These ancestral secrets will never be told to outsiders." Miao Meng also interrupted.

"But we are also secretly trying to use the group's technology to replicate the dishes here, so that more people can taste the delicacies here. It would be a pity if only a few people could enjoy these good things." Mu had already started eating, but her eating manners were not very elegant, and her tone made Chu Hua feel that something was not right.

"It's just that most of the work on reverse-engineering these dishes hasn't made much progress." Hai Ling said depressedly after taking a deep sip. When she talked about the company, she started to talk more. "It would be great if I could see how these people cook someday."

"Hey - didn't we agree not to talk about business..." Xiangzi sighed. Today's dinner was mainly for Chuhua. Everyone hoped to help her better integrate into the new era and establish a deeper bond with their small group.

But once we start talking about work, I always feel that the atmosphere will become serious, and it will be difficult to narrow the distance between our hearts.

However, Xiangzi didn't know how to help Chuhua get closer to everyone.

Although she told herself the day she woke up that she had forgotten everything in the past and now she only lives in the future.

Even though the other party said this to him, Xiangzi knew in his heart that Chuhua just didn't want to talk about the sad past. At least he still remembered his relationship with him very clearly.

As for that person, it is better to forget about him.

Xiangzi looked around. Chuhua was still marveling at the deliciousness of the dishes he had never seen before, while Hailing was holding the bottle of wine tightly. As for Miaomeng and Mu (no, it should be mortis, Mu's manners would not be so ungraceful!)... they were sweeping up the food on the table at a speed like a tsunami.

"Can't you be more careful..." Xiangzi held her forehead with her hand, but this was not the first day she knew these guys. Such a gathering time could really let everyone relax their tense nerves and have a good rest.

"By the way, how's your new research going?" Hai Ling suddenly looked at Xiangzi as if she remembered something.

"It's only been a few days, and we've just started. I don't know when we can see the results." Xiangzi didn't react to the stagnation of progress. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning.

"What experiment?" Chu Hua asked curiously. This was the first time she heard of this.

"Using artificial symbionts to modify human genes, if successful, should be able to completely solve the problem of Tokyo people's genetic lock." Xiangzi took a sip of tea on the dining table and explained to Chuhua.

"Uh... isn't that thing a bit too dangerous..." Chu Hua felt that this project was a bit unreliable.

"In the past, she would not be willing to get involved in this kind of field." Miao Meng muttered to Chu Hua while holding a blue chicken leg in her mouth.

Xiangzi did not comment on Chuhua's judgment, but continued Miaomeng's words and said: "The past is the past. What happened recently has made me change my mind a little."

Maybe they were stimulated by the earth-shattering tide of corpses, Chu Hua thought.

But what Chuhua didn't know was that it wasn't the symbiote crisis that prompted Xiangzi to change his mind, but Hatsune Miku.

Or more accurately, serum.

After continuously collecting various data on the serum, Xiangzi felt that surprises came one after another.

The biggest surprise is that Hatsune Miku's genes have been deeply integrated with the serum and have mutated.

Therefore, she seemed to have escaped the curse in her bloodline and would no longer explode due to contact with her cloned body.

Of course, Xiangzi was not planning to introduce Hatsune to Chuhua. After all, this incident was a black history for her, although her original motivation was to save Chuhua.

But Xiangzi can indeed use this as an excuse to relax his supervision of Hatsune Miku.

3.4 Ling wife Er Si bar feeding Yue Yi...

After the banquet had lasted for quite a while, Chu Hua saw that new dishes were still being served on the table.

Although these things are delicious, my stomach capacity doesn’t seem to support me eating them all.

The people in front of him were talking and laughing, and the topic gradually turned to a direction that he couldn't understand, such as some company's business decisions.

Although he wanted to try to fit in, he couldn't seem to get a word in no matter how many times he tried. Chu Hua felt that he was indeed a little isolated.

It wasn't anyone's fault, but the current atmosphere made her feel a little suffocated.

"Um..." she said to the others, "I'm a little full. I'm going out for some fresh air."

Then he turned around and pushed the door open.

"I told you not to talk about serious matters," Xiangzi muttered.

"But you seemed to have said the most just now." Mortis commented sharply.

"..." Xiangzi was a little speechless, thinking that she had to make this guy more taciturn in the future. Then she said to the others, "I'm going out for some fresh air too."

"I think you should thoroughly implement the principle of 'don't talk while eating'." Hai Ling looked at Mortis and advised him kindly.

"Is it my fault?" Mortis obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with him and continued to sweep the food on the table.

……

Pushing open the door of the private room and coming to the corridor, Chu Hua leaned against the railing on the second floor of the Yi O Fin Eight 4 Fin IV 〩 Qia?? Sulfur Group 〒, and could hear and see the lively scene in the hall downstairs.

The mercenaries sat on the shoddy tables and chairs, drinking rough wine and chatting with their companions.

For some reason, Chuhua felt a little envious.

These people must have been through a lot together and could be honest with each other.

But Chu Hua didn't have anyone to confide in.

Even if it was Hatsune Miku, he had hidden something from her.

He had hardly told Xiangzi a single true word.

Chuhua must hide, hide her identity, hide that she is Spider-Woman, and hide that she is not "Triangle Chuhua".

This is to protect everything you have now.

……

Groups of guests got up and left, and new groups of guests came in and sat down.

The four new young women were all very beautiful. Many new mercenaries whistled excitedly when they saw them, and then were pulled back by their companions.

"You can't afford to mess with these guys!" This is what they heard when they were taught a lesson by their companions who have been in the business for a long time.

The pink-haired girl among the four reluctantly searched her pockets but still found nothing.

"Wow, Rikki... I really don't have any money left (T▽T)"

"You buy so many clothes on a daily basis, isn't it normal that you spend them quickly?" The black-haired woman in the lead was speechless.

Today they just wanted to have a drink together after a long absence, but then they made the sad discovery that they had very little money left and could not afford to rent a private room, so they could only make do in the hall.

"We have to find a job too." After finding an empty seat and sitting down, Li Xi looked at the other three people, "Currently, only Soyo has received an assassination mission, but the bounty is not enough to cover our expenses for the next period of time."

"Well~ But we just took down Nanhe, and our reputation isn't very good with those employers." Aine raised her glass and took a long sip. "Tsk, it still tastes sour."

"This is the only kind of wine I can buy with the little money I have. Just make do with it." Li Xi comforted Aine while handing a cup of matcha parfait to Lenai beside him. "Wildcat, this is what you asked for."

"Hehe~" Lenai started eating happily, and her excited movements really made her look like a naughty big white cat.

"Wow, Rana-chan eats matcha parfait, and I drink cheap wine, Rikki is partial ̄へ ̄" Aine's expression was quite dissatisfied, and the blush on her face coupled with a slight annoyance made it seem like she was jealous.

"..." Li Xi didn't really want to argue about the prices of drinks and desserts in this shop, so he simply ignored her protest. Li Xi turned his head to look at the quiet lamp sitting nearby and asked softly, "Is it really necessary to give you something? If Tomori finds it noisy, you can go back first."

Deng shook her head. She had come here just to follow everyone and had no intention of going back alone.

As for food and drink, Deng still prefers energy bars and purified water.

Seeing that Deng didn't care, Li Xi stopped asking. She also picked up the bottle of wine in front of her and poured herself a glass.

In fact, if you just want to drink, it doesn’t matter where you drink, there is no need to come to the ring specifically.

But this is the only place that sells matcha parfaits, and if Lenai can't have a matcha parfait, she will threaten to go on strike, so Lixi has no choice but to come here every day and order a fixed amount.

But most of the time, it was Lixi who brought Lenai here alone, and today it happened that they all had nothing to do, so they came here together while arguing.

The daily work of mygo team is divided into two parts: one is to do justice, and the other is to make money for doing justice.

Being chivalrous and helping the weak and promoting the good are always inspiring, but even Li Xi has to admit the fact that the people they help are often very poor and cannot afford their appearance fees.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, weapon maintenance, equipment maintenance, safety redundancy, damage compensation... The mercenary group has too many places to spend money. If they continue to engage in heroic deeds, sooner or later they will starve to death on the streets.

Things like robbing the rich and helping the poor do make money quickly, but to be honest, these days, everyone uses a certain company's Internet to conduct black transactions. Cash is really hard to move, and gold and jewelry are even easier to track, and their value is not very high compared to the expenses within the group.

The target of Soyo's assassination attempt is a champion of a small and micro enterprise. The compensation the employer is willing to pay is enough to cover Mygo's activities for the next month.

How many times would Li Xi and his men have to rob banks to earn such a fortune?

Although mygo is notorious in the industry, it has to be said that just as black and red are also red, bad reputation is also fame. At least those bugs are willing to pay a high price to hire themselves to do some dog-eat-dog and black-eating-black business.

Although this kind of "work" was not Li Xi's original intention, a penny can make a hero fall, and for the sake of his ultimate ideal, he had to sacrifice himself.

But she always wondered if that person was still alive, they wouldn't have to do this and could more happily do the things they had always wanted to do and loved to do.

After all, that person always seemed to be omnipotent.

Thinking of this, Li Xi drank the wine in the glass and sighed deeply.

……

"What's wrong?" Seeing Chuhua leaning on the railing, lost in thought, Xiangzi walked to her side and asked softly.

"Um...nothing."

"Although there is still some distance between Uika and everyone, I believe that one day there will be no more barriers between us." Xiangzi held Chuhua's face, hoping to convey his emotions to the other person with his eyes.

"It's nothing." Chu Hua waved away Xiangzi's hand, "I just thought the people below looked familiar."

"Oh?" Xiangzi followed Chuhua's gaze and looked downstairs.

"But they seem to be in trouble." Chu Hua still stared intently.

……

"There are so many inferior races in this place."

A tall figure walked into the hall of the tavern, and her loud scream immediately attracted the attention of all the mercenaries.

The mercenaries present were not only humans, there were also many unknown species.

But apparently, they all fell silent because of the newcomer's words, staring at her in unison.

"I wonder if there's any target here worth hunting for, Mrs. Craven."
