Chapter 230: Altria, You Have Changed
The glorious task of watching the ship was given to the seven flag monsters. Sui Feng Er, who was good at intelligence, was sent out to inquire about various news. Zhang Da also allocated some activity funds to him, which made the other flag monsters drool with envy: "It is so important to have a specialty!"
Zhang Da also comforted them: "Don't be envious. Tomorrow we will hand over the boat to Tom's studio to take care of it, and give you a day off to go out for team building, how about that?"
"Thank you, boss!" The flag monsters smiled happily.
"It's useless to just thank me. In the end, whether we can go out and play depends on Ye Yan's consent." Strictly speaking, these flag monsters should be considered employees of Zhang Daye's employees.
The shameless flag monsters hurriedly hugged Ye Yan's thighs.
Ye Yan said with disgust: "Go away! Don't do the same as last time. You said you were going to check on the ship but ended up leaving a big hole in the deck!"
The flag monsters patted their chests and assured: "As long as we are on the boat, we are on board!"
No one believed this. Given the integrity of these guys, if they really met someone they couldn't beat, they would definitely run faster than rabbits.
After everyone left, Ma Laowu and Lu Dashan, two of the flag monsters, were beaten up because they were the ones who watched the boat last time, and this time they caused everyone to be scolded together. Their vacation was almost ruined, so they had to be beaten up without any discussion.
…
The first thing to do when traveling to the Water City is to rent a few Blues as a means of transportation. This Blue has nothing to do with the Skeleton Man Brook. It also has another name called Cowfish.
It has a long neck, a horse-like head with reins, a slightly wide body with a seat on it, four short and thick fins under the body for paddling, and a not-so-long tail behind it.
When Zhang Da saw Blue's full appearance for the first time, he was reminded of the water dragon, or plesiosaur, in the classic game MapleStory.
Each double blue boat costs 1,000 Baileys to rent for a day, which is just a drop in the bucket for Zhang Daye and his team.
But Rui Mengmeng still complained: "It's so expensive. It only costs 500 Baileys to rent a bubble car in the Sabaody Archipelago."
"About that. Maybe it's because the rent for Blue has to include the cost of feed." Zhang Da also touched Blue's head. Blue had a gentle temperament and rubbed his palm gently with his head.
"Oh, that's right ." Rui Mengmeng nodded, called Perona to get on the boat, and then followed the method taught by the owner of the Blue shop to make Blue move slowly, "Then we'll leave first, see you later."
"Guo Tu, get in quickly, the old driver is starting!" Ye Yan was much braver than Rui Mengmeng and drove the Blue very fast.
Brook, who was sitting in the back, covered his hat with one hand and laughed happily, "Yo-ho-ho-ho~."
Seeing them having fun, Zhang Daye also sat in the front row and held the reins, and immediately felt someone tugging at his clothes from behind.
When he turned around, he saw Tom's hands clasped, his big eyes blinking, looking at him expectantly.
Tom's pitiful look was hard to refuse, so Zhang Da had no choice but to give up his seat:
"Okay, okay, you can come if you want, but we agreed beforehand that we can't do anything rash and we need to be safe. It's okay if we bump into something or flip over, but it will definitely hurt someone else, and this cute little Blue is innocent."
Faced with Zhang Daye's nagging instructions, Tom nodded hurriedly, and even exaggeratedly took out a small notebook to write it down. As long as he could have fun, everything was fine.
The boat Little Blue, driven by Tom, set off smoothly, but Shark Chili almost capsized as soon as he stepped on it.
Poor little Blue was originally floating quietly, but after Shark Chili came up, he felt a sudden weight on his body and almost sank. He had to paddling desperately with his four short fins to regain his balance.
Shark Chili was a little embarrassed: "My body seems to be too heavy?"
Blue carried him around slowly in a circle and whimpered twice to indicate that everything was fine.
Altria reached out and touched Blue's head, "Let me drive, that should make it easier."
"Okay." Shark Chili had nothing to say. Looking at Altria driving Blue in front and slowly catching up with Tom and Zhang Daye, he decided to give Blue a meal later. How about giving it a few tubes of toothpaste?
Speaking of which, the owner of this shop is very generous. He didn't show any surprise at all when seeing the cat driving the boat and the robot riding the boat. Maybe it's because he is well-informed.
Riding on the Blue through the waterway, sometimes passing under the bridge, sometimes encountering oncoming boats. Zhang Da was also worried, fearing that Tom and Altria would speed up the boat on a whim.
After a long time had passed, I felt relieved when I saw that they were both driving honestly.
In fact, he was overthinking it. Most of Altria's attention was spent on finding delicious food on the shore, and she was not in the mood to race the boat at all.
The first delicacy they found was the Shui Shui meat, which was unique to the Seven Water City. In fact, it could be said that the Shui Shui meat found them.
Because Tom, who was originally steering the boat peacefully, suddenly floated up and flew towards somewhere forward with his eyes closed, leaving behind the dumbfounded Blue and the helpless Zhang Daye.
If you look closely, you can see that it is an unknown gas that turns into a hand. It first pinches Tom's nose, then lifts Tom's chin, and finally hooks Tom away with its fingers.
"Chase!" Zhang Da also jumped onto the front seat, grabbed the reins, and urged Blue forward quickly.
Altria didn't need Zhang Daye to remind her at all, because she could tell from the saliva at the corners of Tom's mouth that there must be something delicious ahead.
When they arrived, they saw an old man holding a piece of meat with a cat hanging on it. The old man couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried. "What's going on with this cat?"
Zhang Da also hurried over and hugged Tom: "I'm sorry, uncle, my cat is ignorant. I'll buy this piece of meat."
The uncle selling meat didn't say anything, but pointed behind Zhang Daye.
Zhang Da also looked back in confusion, then turned back stiffly, his expression even more awkward: "Well, my family isn't very understanding either, I'll pack all the meat you have, and roast the raw meat too..."
Half an hour later, the four of them packed up all the barbecued pork and left. The uncle selling the meat was happily counting the money.
"Hey, you two, even though this thing is really delicious, you should greet the boss before eating it, at least ask the price and pay the money..."
Tom smiled apologetically and continued to eat. Altria felt a little embarrassed: "Because I saw you negotiating with the boss, I felt that you would definitely buy it."
Shark Chili laughed in the background: "It's rare to see Altria lose her composure like this. Although this barbecue tastes really good, there have been better things before, right?"
Altria explained, "Because we have been sailing for so long, although the meals every day are delicious, the ingredients are still a bit monotonous. It is rare to see ingredients that are completely different from the past. I'm sorry."
Zhang Da didn't care much about it, but he complained in his heart, "Altoria, you have changed. You are no longer the king who can survive on mashed potatoes."
