Chapter 356: Trust between People
"Welcome!"
"Welcome everyone to the welcoming city, Whiskey Peak!"
"Welcome the brave warriors who have crossed the ocean!"
As soon as they appeared, Zhang Daye and his friends heard warm cheers. Some people on the shore were playing music, some were waving flags, and some were throwing streamers. The atmosphere was very warm.
Faced with such a scene, Tom, who had just been patrolling the boat with a sword in his hand with a serious face, immediately let down his guard, dropped his sword and waved his hands in response to the enthusiasm of the people on the shore.
Ye Yan, who was wearing a skeleton costume, immediately got into the mood, waving and blowing kisses enthusiastically, as if he treated this place as a fan meeting.
"Be more natural. You can show some vigilance and then relax." Zhang Da also whispered to the others and guided them in their acting. "Mengmeng, your expression is too stiff. Learn from Tom and Ye Yan. Altria, the look in your eyes, think about it, they are here to treat us to a meal. That's right, that look is spot on..."
Jackie Chan's attention was easily drawn to Tom, and he exclaimed quietly: "Although it's just acting, Tom's acting is amazing. This is the most amazing cat I've ever seen."
Xia Lulu complained at his feet: "I think he probably took it seriously. Wendy, don't learn from him."
"Huh?" Wendy put away her smile awkwardly. She almost believed it was true.
The Amber slowly docked at the shore, and everyone went ashore one by one. A man in a suit and tie came out and said, "Welcome to Whiskey Peak. This is a town famous for brewing and music. I am the mayor, Seven."
"Hello, Mayor Seven. We are the Amber Tour Group." Zhang Da also suppressed the desire to complain about the mayor's name and asked, "What are you doing?"
Mayor Seven said: "As you can see, this town is best at entertaining outsiders. There are many fine wines here that we are proud of. Can we host a banquet for you? In exchange, we will use your adventure stories."
Zhang Da also said reservedly: "Is this appropriate?"
Mayor Seven put one hand on his chest and said politely: "It's our honor!"
Zhang Da also felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes. He caught a glimpse of a strand of hair out of the corner of his eye and quickly skipped the polite part: "Sorry to bother you then."
Mayor Seven said happily, "Okay, okay, Sister, take the guests to the banquet hall and entertain them properly. I'll go and urge the kitchen and come right over."
"Yes, guests please follow me." A nun in a black hooded robe made a gesture of invitation.
Are nuns used to entertain guests? Zhang Da also felt that these people were very unprofessional, but he still followed her away from the river bank.
After they walked away, the townsman who had just been in charge of throwing the streamers said, "You were almost exposed, Mr. 7! You just said a few words, why are your legs shaking like that?"
Mayor Seven wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "You don't know because you haven't faced them directly. The way that blonde woman looked at me just now was like looking at food. It was so scary, like being stared at by a lion."
"It's not that exaggerated. They are obviously very beautiful." After a pause, he continued, "The two little girls are also very cute. Are they really as amazing as the rumors say? They don't look like that at all."
Mr.7 straightened his clothes and said, "Okay, go get ready and proceed as planned."
According to the experience the agents have gained during this period, there are certain rules for entertaining guests, and one must cater to their preferences.
Just put delicious food, fine wine and beautiful women in front of them. You will soon be able to observe each person's preferences, and then you can conquer them one by one by giving them their favorite things.
The first and easiest ones to deal with were the two little girls. As soon as the dazzling array of desserts were placed on the table, they could not take their eyes away. This was true for Perona and Wendy, and even the relatively mature Xia Lulu. They had little resistance to the exquisite desserts and could not stop eating once they had a bite.
The three of them were happily enjoying the food and almost forgot that this was the enemy's lair.
Zhang Daye, Altria and Rui Mengmeng are easier to understand. They have never stopped eating since the food was served, and their eyes have never left the table. They ignore the handsome men and beautiful women sitting next to them.
Then all we have to do is to feed them. Considering that some strong men have big appetites, Mr. 7 decided to be conservative and first send ten chefs to deal with them.
Zhang Da also heard words like "ten chefs" and nodded secretly, hoping that they could hold on a little longer.
Ye Yan was also a very easy person to understand. Seeing his exaggerated and alternative clothing, Mr. 7 judged that he was a person who liked to be in the spotlight, so all he had to do was send some people to surround him, watch him show off, and cheer and applaud at the appropriate time.
Surrounded by a group of people, Ye Yan was not at all stage fright and performed an impromptu Skeleton Dance and Skeleton Song. He did not care whether the people around him really appreciated it or not. It was rare to have such support, so he decided to just enjoy it for himself.
Shark Pepper looks difficult to deal with. He only tastes a little of the food and is not interested in beautiful women, but he will accept a toast.
So Mr. 7 signaled a few people who could hold their liquor to come over and compete with him in drinking and get him drunk. But after giving the order, he began to doubt whether a robot could get drunk.
Tom is the one who knows how to enjoy life the most. He eats delicious food, drinks fine wine, and asks beautiful women to massage his shoulders and back and feed him. Mr. 7 lets his men satisfy him while he complains in his heart whether this man is a cat or the eldest son of an aristocratic family.
Tom didn't care about that. He once had a dream of making a lot of money, lying in a pile of money, with two beauties serving him. Now that he was so close to his dream, he had long forgotten whether he had an enemy or not.
The thing that bothered Mr.7 the most was Jackie Chan. Whether it was food or wine, Jackie Chan was very restrained. When faced with a group of beauties approaching him, he was somewhat moved, but he remained alert. He did feel a little flattered when faced with the flattery of others, but he was not able to let go of his guard.
"It seems that this person is the most difficult one. If we want to take action later, we need to send more people to take care of him." Mr. 7 made a judgment and then secretly passed the information he observed to the ambushed people.
The strategy is already being successfully executed, and the agents are doing their jobs and waiting to see what happens.
The first to be affected were Perona, Wendy and Xia Lulu. Even though their appetites were much greater than those of ordinary little girls, they were still within the normal range of humans. It wasn't long before they leaned back in their chairs and didn't want to move.
Especially Perona. Without Zhang Daya's constraints today, she can eat dessert to her heart's content and feels that her life has reached its peak.
Next was Tom's turn. He ate so much that he turned himself into a ball. He didn't choose a place to eat, but just lay on the ground, covered with snot bubbles.
Although Tom's appetite was somewhat unexpected, the agents accompanying him managed to complete the mission successfully.
Next came Jackie Chan. He felt really uncomfortable being surrounded by a large group of people, so he simply drank some wine and lay on the table pretending to be drunk.
After that, the development of things was somewhat out of Mr. 7 's control.
First of all, Shark Chili was not drunk, but knocked down 9 people who tried to force him to drink. This was still within Mr. 7's acceptable range.
But what about the guy in the skeleton costume? You have been singing and dancing at a high intensity for three or four hours without taking a break, so why do you still have the energy?
"To thank all the fans for their support, I will improvise a dance specifically for you!" Ye Yan shouted excitedly, "Don't worry, everyone, in order to respond to the fans' expectations, I can dance all day long!"
Ye Yan was not bragging. His physical strength was no longer what it used to be. Dancing all day was really a piece of cake for him.
The fake fans around were cheering, but the smiles on their faces were a little stiff. They clapped so hard that they could hardly lift their hands. How could this boy have so much energy?
However, the most difficult person was on the other side. Zhang Da also pointed at a few plates and shouted, "These dishes are good. Give me another table of each!"
Rui Mengmeng also pointed to a plate and said, "I want this one too."
Altria didn't say anything. She liked the dishes the two of them picked, so she would just eat them later.
"Yes, please wait!" The ten chefs answered loudly subconsciously, busy preparing the dishes.
Zhang Da was still pushing for more: "Too slow, too slow, you can't even fill the customer's stomach, are you still a chef like this?"
"I'm so sorry!" The chefs moved their hands faster.
After finishing several tables of dishes, Zhang Da continued to fan the flames: "For the sake of your chef's dignity, don't let the guests wait too long!"
"Yes! Speed up now!"
New dishes were served one after another and quickly devoured. The banquet inexplicably turned into a battlefield between the chefs and diners. In such an atmosphere, the chefs unconsciously became nervous and even forgot their purpose.
Several of the weakest chefs have fallen down. Although new ones have taken their place, it won’t be long before the chefs’ hands start to tremble again.
Zhang Da also saw that the chefs were a little overwhelmed. Although he and Rui Mengmeng had stopped eating, Zhang Da still didn't let the chefs go: "Hurry up, don't give up! We will all be full soon!"
Seeing that they had finally fed two people, the chefs cheered up a little, but their physical strength still limited them. Finally, one chef fell down, and then another chef fell down...
The last chef trembled as he brought the dish to a table piled high with empty plates.
Altria quickly cleared the plate and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work. Can you make three more servings of this crispy pork elbow? Hmm...how about five?"
Finally, the chef's eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.
Mr. 7, who was in charge of the reception, also felt dizzy. Wasn’t this the plan?
More than a dozen chefs were exhausted, but from what the blonde said, it seemed like they were not full yet?
He looked at the pile of empty plates and roughly estimated that this meal would almost empty the town's granary. Was your stomach transplanted from a giant?
We can’t wait any longer, Mr. 7 thought to himself. Even if we could find a few more chefs now, there would be no time to prepare the ingredients.
Although the goal has not been fully achieved, aren't there only two men, two women and a robot left awake?
At least the other side has been reduced by half, so there is no need to be afraid if a conflict occurs.
After figuring it out, Mr. 7 walked to Altria's table with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm so sorry, guest. The chefs in this town are exhausted. I'm sorry for not hosting you well."
Altria said, "No, we were too rude and made you spend money."
"No, it's our wish to try our best to entertain every guest who comes to town." Mr. 7 said sincerely, "I have sent someone to the nearby town to invite a chef, and I will definitely satisfy the guests!"
Zhang Da also looked at him in surprise. Wasn't this big brother too stimulated? He was squandering money like this, and he wasn't afraid that Lao Sha would criticize him.
But he immediately realized that asking the chef was just an excuse, so Mr. 7 continued, "But before the chef comes, there are still some things I want to discuss with you."
Zhang Da also asked: "What's the matter?"
"We heard that you are famous bounty hunters. Coincidentally, there is also an organization established by bounty hunters in our town, so we would like to invite you to join."
"I'm sorry, but we still have to continue our journey. Besides, being a bounty hunter doesn't matter if you have an organization or not, right?"
"No, no, no, we are not an ordinary bounty hunter organization." Mr. 7 said mysteriously with a hint of fanaticism on his face, "Earning bounties is only the first step of the plan. In the future, we will use these funds to find a suitable place to establish an ideal country. As long as you join now, you will get unimaginable benefits after the plan succeeds!"
Zhang Da followed up the conversation and asked, "What is the name of the organization and who is the leader?"
"It's okay to tell you the name. It's Baroque Works. As for the leader..." Mr. 7's expression became serious when he mentioned the leader. "I don't know his real identity either. We call him Boss, codenamed Mr. 0, but you are forbidden to inquire about his specific identity."
"why is that?"
"The purpose of our work agency is 'mystery'. Anyone who tries to find out information about the boss without permission will be eliminated." Mr. 7 told all the information that was allowed to be disclosed. After all, it was information that could be known as long as one joined.
After a brief pause, he asked, "So what's the answer, do you want to join us?"
"Wait a minute, I have another question." Zhang Da also said, "You don't even know who the boss is, why are you working for him?"
"Didn't I just say that in order to build an ideal country, I can become a powerful figure in the future!"
"But you don't even know who the boss is. What if he is lying to you? For example, he doesn't want to build an ideal country at all, but just wants to trick a group of people into helping him make money?"
Zhang Da has always admired Lao Sha's MLM ability. He can fool thousands of people into working hard for him just by his skill of drawing cakes and cakes without even showing his face. He is simply a genius.
Mr.7 said stiffly: " We will know his identity when the plan starts!"
Zhang Da also shook his head: "If I were him, I would run away with the money a few days before the plan started. Anyway, you don't know who I am."
Mr.7 could hardly hold it in any longer. Why was this person so talkative? Couldn’t people have a little trust in each other?
We are all working hard towards such a great goal as building an ideal country. How could the boss abscond with the money just for such a small sum?
It should... not be possible, right?
