People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Fang Zhou took a sip of tea, waved his hand, and the teapot beside him flew up by itself, brewing a cup of yellow tea for the lion scorpion. The lion scorpion's face was reflected, and the rich tea aroma had already flown to the tip of the lion scorpion's nose.

"I only have Dayan's tea here. I don't know if you're used to it. If you find it bitter, it might not be good for you. There's also plain water in the other pot."

"It's okay, Doctor. I can drink it."

The lion scorpion took the teacup somewhat embarrassedly and took a sip of the tea carefully. The bitterness at the beginning made the lion scorpion purse her lips, but the slight sweetness at the end made her eyes widen in surprise, and she remembered a word from the Dayan culture that she had come across: after suffering comes sweetness.

"Um... Doctor, the mission."

"Ah, there's no rush. Actually, at this point, your mission is pretty obvious, isn't it?"

"Help Miss Ascalon protect Amiya?"

The lion scorpion asked tentatively.

"It's to counter those Manticores."

"..."

"As fellow Mantikos, you should be familiar with their assassination methods. While your techniques may differ slightly due to different training methods, the racial advantages and characteristics of the Mantikos ultimately lead to the same end result. So... this is a rather difficult request for you."

But the lion scorpion did not show the embarrassed expression that Fang Zhou had expected. Instead, it smiled a little embarrassedly.

"No, Doctor. That... I understand what you mean, Doctor, but in reality, countering the assassination attempts of the Manticore assassins is no secret among Sargon's upper class."

"Oh?"

"Because it was so well-known, methods were quickly developed. However... it was precisely because even if we knew the countermeasures, we couldn't stop Manticore's assassination that Manticore became so famous in Sargon."

It seemed that it was because he hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time. Although there were some stumbling blocks at the beginning, the Scorpion Lion could now talk to Fang Zhou much more fluently. The most important thing was that the Scorpion Lion could see himself in the eyes of the man in front of him. The sense of security that he was being watched made his wandering heart feel at ease. This feeling made the Scorpion Lion unconsciously achieve smooth communication which was difficult to achieve before.

"I will discuss with Ms. Ascalon how to deal with Mantiko, but..."

"I will solve the communication problem between you and Askalon. Thank you for your hard work."

"No, no, no, it's not hard. I'm... fine. Thank you, Doctor."

Why are you thanking me? Fang Zhou looked at the scorpion who was getting a little embarrassed again and laughed. You helped me with my work and you still want to thank me. If you were in my world, I guess those capitalists would love you to death. You are simply a dream lover.

"Doctor, I have another question." After a moment of silence, the scorpion lion tentatively asked the question that concerned him most.

"How did you find me the moment I came in?"

For a long time, because of her infection with the mineral disease, her Originium skills mutated and became stronger and uncontrollable, and thus she was ignored by the normal people. The lion scorpion had regarded it as an iron rule that as long as she did not take the initiative, she would never discover this matter. But now that the Ark appeared, this iron rule was broken, and she naturally wanted to know why.

"Well, your Originium skill, Scorpio, besides that optical camouflage, essentially releases a special wave to the surroundings. This wave interferes with the brain's release of special electrical signals, causing it to perceive you as completely harmless, a being that doesn't require specific attention. When you exhibit unusual behavior, disrupting this perception, those around you will notice you, because you're no longer 'completely harmless.'"

"So, Doctor..."

"This is the principle of your Originium technique. Knowing the principle will naturally lead to a response. All you need to do is refuse to accept this perception from the beginning."

"what?"

The lion scorpion looked at Fang Zhou in confusion. How come I can understand every word the Doctor says, but I can't understand him when he speaks together?

"My brain tells me to ignore you, so I should ignore it and keep paying attention to you from the beginning, so that I won't lose sight of you."

"I…I'm sorry Doctor, I still don't understand."

The lion felt a little ashamed. She felt that the Doctor had already explained everything to her, but she still didn't understand why she had let the Doctor down.

"To put it simply, as long as I keep paying attention to you, I can't ignore you."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

"...Doctor, I, I have to go find Miss Ascalon first. I'll be leaving now."

"Ah? Oh! Can you find her? Let me help you contact Kal'tsit first, Scorpion?"

Looking at the lion scorpion running away, Fang Zhou shouted a few times and then laughed out loud.

This child is really interesting.

However, when Fang Zhou finished laughing and looked at Noah again, he saw that the other party was looking at him with contempt.

"?"

"Hmph, scumbag."

"???"

Chapter 281 Excitement

"So you plan to let Scorpion Lion and Askalon handle this incident together?"

"There must be more than just the two of them. Have SWEEP on standby. Starting tomorrow, Red, Ascalon, Scorpion, and Amiya will act together, but be careful not to disrupt Amiya's daily routine."

While waiting for the little rabbit to change clothes, Ark and Kal'tsit discussed how to protect the little rabbit's safety in the next few days. Kal'tsit was always suspicious about Noah's frank statement that the Victoria Empire would start a new assassination campaign in the future. Although she already knew the relationship between Noah and Ark, the father and son were obviously in a stage of quarrel.

No, if we go by official history, Noah might not have even seen the Ark, but the Ark was already trapped in the subspace with him. That's why the child probably has such a weak affection for his father, or even hostile feelings towards him.

It is winter now. Although it is not snowing in Longmen, it is already a cold season, so it is not okay to go out wearing the same clothes you usually wear in Rhodes Island.

So Amiya naturally changed into winter clothes, the same set she wore last time at the snack street. The blue plaid scarf firmly protected the little rabbit's snow-white goose neck, and the white raincoat tightly wrapped Amiya's petite body.

Although this outfit is a bit bulky, making Amiya look like a plump snowball, but paired with Amiya's cute little face, it makes her look as charming as a winter elf.

Kal'tsit next to Fang Ark also changed her clothes. She wore a beige knitted short-sleeved shirt, navy blue trousers, dark brown boots, and a snow-white woolen windbreaker on the outside. The fresh combination, coupled with her slender figure and cold face, revealed a touch of snowy mystery, which was very eye-catching.

"Doctor, let's go!"

Amiya looked very happy, and Fang Zhou responded with a smile.

Kal'tsit's mouth corners turned up, but with the flash of the flash beside her, the upturned corners of her mouth immediately fell down.

"Taking secret photos is a clear violation of someone's portrait rights, Doctor. Human morality is crucial to maintaining the fragile order of this land. Laws cannot constrain human desires, but morality can temporarily slow down those violent urges. Your actions are undoubtedly destroying the shackles that maintain order on this land. Once these shackles of morality are broken, the merciless earth will devour everything on it. Therefore, I hope that in the future, when you do anything, you will fully consider its own meaning and the consequences it will bring. Doing whatever you want is not what we should pursue now."

"Alright, alright, Master Kal'tsit, stop nagging me. I already understand the seriousness of my secret filming, but there's a problem."

When Fang Zhou said the first sentence, Kal'tsit nodded. Although it was a bit contrary to Tian Gang, she also said that the boy was teachable. However, the second half of the sentence immediately made Kal'tsit enter the red temperature state.

"So I didn't take the photos secretly. I took them openly."

Click, click, click.

The continuous flashes of light made Kal'tsit's face immediately darken. Her eyes flashed with a strange red light, and her two hands flew straight towards Fang Ark's waist.

"The Doctor is biased!"

However, just before Kal'tsit's fingers were about to touch the soft flesh on Fang Ark's waist, Amiya suddenly stepped between the two of them and looked at Fang Ark with dissatisfaction. Not only did she break the atmosphere, she also stopped Kal'tsit's fingers and helped Fang Ark avoid disaster.

"Why are you only taking pictures of Dr. Kal'tsit? I want to take a picture too. Let's take a picture together!"

Kal'tsit wanted to say something, but Amiya immediately took the phone from Fang Ark's hand, pulled Fang Ark and Kal'tsit to her sides, and captured the whole thing in the camera.

"Zwei!"

Amiya held her phone in both hands, smiling happily. Kal'tsit and Ark beside her also said in unison: "Zwei!"

And all of this was frozen with the pressing of the shutter.

"Great! Doctor, Doctor Kel'tsit, look, look."

The little rabbit handed the phone to Fang Ark and asked him and Kal'tsit to look at the photo inside. In the photo, Amiya was smiling happily. Fang Ark on the right smiled and stretched out his left hand to touch the rabbit's head. Kal'tsit also showed a faint smile and stood face to face on Amiya's left.

"Beautiful photos. Amiya has a real talent for photography."

"Hehe, I will become a benevolent and kind demon king in the future, so taking pictures is no problem!" Amiya hugged her chest with a proud look on her face. Fang Zhou couldn't help laughing at the little rabbit's appearance, and Kal'tsit's chuckle also echoed in his ears, but at the same time, a trace of worry flashed in the eyes of both of them.

Several people were already waiting at Exit 3 of Rhode Island. They naturally would not walk there, nor would they use the magic door. Using the magic door to skip the process and arrive would result in missing a lot of scenery, so they chose to drive.

"By the way, Doctor, do you have a Longmen driver's license?"

It was not until Fang Ark drove out of Rhodes Island and drove on Longmen Street that Kal'tsit suddenly remembered this and looked sideways at Fang Ark.

"Doctor... do you have a driver's license?"

Even Amiya was sweating profusely at this point.

Longmen is a very inclusive city. You don’t need a Longmen driver’s license to drive here. You just need to bring your driver’s license to the Longmen Guard Bureau to get a certificate and a small card, and then you can drive freely in Longmen. Generally speaking, people who drive to Longmen will get a temporary certificate when entering Longmen, and then go to the Guard Bureau to apply for documents within 24 hours. The documents are issued on the spot, and it will not take more than 5 minutes. Of course, if you leave Longmen within 24 hours, the temporary certificate is enough.

But Ark and his team's situation is rather special. They drove in on Rhodes Island and then drove out from Rhodes Island. Not to mention that Rhodes Island had stayed in Longmen for a long time, even if they had just arrived today, they didn't have a temporary certificate.

At once, except for Nian, Kal'tsit and Amiya all realized the problem, and Fang Zhou also quietly found a place to temporarily park the car.

"Doctor, why don't we take a taxi?"

Amiya was a little worried. If she was taken to the Guard Bureau because of this situation, she didn't know how to face Miss Chen.

"Huh? Why do you suddenly need a taxi? Oh, it's okay. Not many people check this on this road. Just drive. As long as you don't obviously violate traffic rules, such as running a red light, hitting someone, or parking your car where you shouldn't, no one will bother you so diligently."

Nian looked like he had nothing to worry about. He leaned back in his seat, swaying a folding fan in his hand, muttering "Don't worry, don't worry". Then the next second, a Wolper in a police uniform came over and knocked on the glass on Fangzhou's side.

"..."

"..."

Fang Zhou gently rolled down the window and looked at Officer Wolper outside who was looking at him with a smile on his face.

click!

Officer Wolper saluted first, then smiled at Fang Ark and said:

"Hello sir, this is Officer Tan Qiao from the Traffic Division of the Imperial Guard Bureau, officer number 9527. This is a busy road. While temporary parking is permitted, please be mindful of the time and drivers must not leave the vehicle. Please also present your driver's license and vehicle registration."

"..."

"..."

"Doctor, how about we just admit it?"

Nian probably didn't expect that no one would check what he said casually, and no one would check it, and then the next second a traffic policeman would appear on the spot and come to arrest them.

This is bad. If I can’t have hotpot, I’m afraid I’ll have to eat pig’s trotter rice!

However, after a moment of silence, Fang Zhou took out the tablet he carried with him, swiped it twice, and then took out his hand that had been on the lower left side of the steering wheel. In just a blink of an eye, Nian and Amiya saw the black driver's license and the blue driving license appear in Fang Zhou's hand.

"...Okay, please wait a moment."

Although Fang Zhou didn't say anything and seemed to hesitate for a while before taking out his driver's license, which was a bit suspicious, they were driving a four-seater off-road vehicle with an open trunk, and there didn't seem to be anything to be nervous or suspicious about.

The police officer named Tan Qiao could only carefully check the driver's license and vehicle registration that Fang Zhou handed to him, and then checked them carefully. However, after looking at them over and over again and not finding any problems, the traffic police could only attribute it to being too sensitive, and then returned the two documents to Fang Zhou.

"I apologize for the inconvenience this inspection may cause you. Here are your driver's license and vehicle registration. I'll return them both to you. Also, I'd like to remind you that this is a busy road. Please be mindful of the time you park here, and drivers should stay in their vehicles. Thank you for your cooperation."

Looking at the traffic policeman's back as he left after returning the driver's license and vehicle registration to Fang Zhou, Nian and Amiya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"You've just……"

However, only Kal'tsit noticed Fang Ark's little action just now, and looked at Fang Ark with a look that said "You shouldn't do that", but Fang Ark just nodded to him slightly, leaving Kal'tsit speechless.

"Don't do this kind of thing in front of Amiya in the future. It will teach the child bad habits."

"The twin queens of Leithnia can drive on the streets without a driver's license."

"..."

Fang Ark didn't do anything else with the tablet just now. He just hacked into the official website of the Guard Bureau and added his own information to the driver's license record of the Traffic Department. In this way, even if they took the driver's license to check, they would only find the information that the Traffic Department had actually issued a driver's license to him.

In fact, as long as he did this, Fang Zhou would have truly obtained the Longmen driver's license. As for the certificate just now, it was just forged using real printing technology, and it was just 100% similar to the real certificate.

After all, this was just a slightly exciting episode. On the way back, Nian was still chattering about how authentic the hot pot was in the restaurant they were about to visit. The only flaw was that the spicy pot was almost not cooked enough, but the other pots were okay.

Fang Zhou shook his head when he heard this. Apart from your homemade spicy hot pot, is there really any restaurant in Dayan that makes spicy hot pot that is just right for you?

But speaking of this topic, I still have to persuade Nian to order a shabu-shabu hotpot, otherwise I guess I won’t be able to enjoy this meal.

While they were chatting and laughing, they arrived at the hot pot restaurant recommended by Nian, called Youguqi.

"This is it. Come on, come on, follow me in. I've already booked a room."

Nian was the first one to enter the store, leading Fang Zhou, Kal'tsit and Amiya. After a brief negotiation with the service staff, he was led to a room on the third floor.

"Hey, hey, hey, am I seeing right? Those people seem to have gone up to the third floor."

"Not everyone can go up to the third floor. That place is generally not just..."

"Hush, hush, hush! Trouble comes from the mouth."

The people sitting on the first and second floors, who were seated closer to the stairs, immediately started talking when they saw a group of people led by Nian going up to the third floor of the restaurant. It was only when they seemed to be discussing something sensitive that they shut up and focused on enjoying the food in front of them.

"This is Youguqi Hotpot, a chain of Youguqi restaurants. They say the unspoken rules are the same here. Only people with a certain status in Longmen can go up to the third floor. Everyone else can only eat on the first and second floors."

When Nian said this, there was no expression on his face.

After all, she has lived for thousands of years. It’s just a restaurant with a hierarchical system. Hasn’t she seen enough?

"Did the young lady book a room on the third floor that year?"
