Temporary partnership

Not long after finding the child, it was almost lunch time.

Bai Leshui specially went to the chief attendant: "Do I need to inform the passengers to gather at the restaurant ma?"

The chief attendant shook his head: "There is nothing special preparation for today's lunch, there is no need for it."

Bai Leshui forced a smile and glanced into the restaurant. Different from before, this time it is a buffet style, the food is placed together, and only tableware is placed on everyone's table, everything is up to free choice.

Steaming hot potatoes, white and tender tofu, round boiled eggs, and very ordinary stir-fry dishes, all looked very delicious.

Lunch without traps, rare normalcy.

Looking at the aroma reaching the nose, it was a pity that Bai Leshui couldn't feel hungry and had no appetite.

"Today's meal is better than before." Bai Leshui said casually.

The chief attendant frowned: "Don't say this nonsense."

Bai Leshui: "Why?"

The chief attendant came close to Bai Leshui's ear and lowered his voice: "Because the head chef has been replaced, A-Qing is now in charge. I know that you and A-Qing have a good relationship, but these words, it would be troublesome if the previous head chef knew about it. She'll be angry."

Bai Leshui remembered the sister who gave snacks said by the child, and equivalently asked in a low voice: "What about the previous head chef ne?"

"She went home." The chief attendant sighed. "She didn't do a good job and was complained. So she had to pack her bags and go home."

Bai Leshui:...

The train never stopped from beginning to end, how could she go back home?

"Who complained?" Bai Leshui asked.

Chief attendant: "Guest in Room 3."

Bai Leshui:...

It feels odder.

Wasn't the guest in room 3 cooked by the head chef herself ma?

"The train will arrive at the first stop tomorrow night." The chief attendant suddenly changed the subject.

Bai Leshui turned to look at him: "Stop where?"

"I don't know." The chief attendant replied. "Only the train captain knows where the train will stop. It's probably a wonderful place ba. Ren Si, be prepared."

Bai Leshui: "Huh?"

"If they don't come back, it will be a headache." Said the chief attendant.

Bai Leshui: "Are we going to leave the train like them ma?"

The chief attendant frowned: "We are train attendants, how can we leave the train? Remember, no matter what time, you cannot leave this train one step. If you leave your post, you will be fired."

Bai Leshui: "Then how can we guarantee that they will return to the train?"

The chief attendant smiled: "They will be back. There is nothing to miss at the mystery station."

The words of the chief attendant may sound contradictory at first, but this is a game copy. None of the suspected NPCs on the train are human. There is only one possibility of coming back but not being able to come back, the mystery site is probably scarier than the group of ghosts in the train.

Thinking of this, Bai Leshui's mood couldn't help but get high. As soon as he raised his lips, he remembered something crucial. He couldn't leave the train, so how could he stumble others?

Stunned.

Bar.

"Are you a screenwriter?" Qi Chengxun stood up and poured a glass of wine for the man in front of him. "What a coincidence. My favorite thing to watch in my spare time is various TV series and movies."

"No." The man among the couple in room 4 shook his head, "I just write some web dramas to make money."

"Web dramas? Web dramas are very good a." Qi Chengxun said, "Now is the era of Internet ma. There are more people going to the cinema, but how many people are watching TV dramas in front of the TV a? Web dramas take over the world of film and television."

"Really ma, you think so too?" The handsome young man said happily, "My pen name is An Yingzhe. I wrote a romantic drama. Although it wasn't a big hit, it was in the top ten o..."

The two of them were chatting while drinking. The woman in the couple of room 4 was keeping company, the smile on her face was a little stiff.

She doesn't know much about screenwriting or anything like that.

She didn't even know the works they were talking about, so she couldn't get into the conversation at all.

Are you serious ma?

The woman rubbed her fingers boredly, when she got tired of it, she looked around the bar. Across the table, the guest in Room 1 was opening his laptop, don't know what he was writing.

That one should be an elite of the company where he work ba, the woman thought to herself. Do you still have to work when traveling on this kind of train?

When the woman looked at Yuan Fangcheng curiously, the topic suddenly shifted to her.

"What does your wife do?" Qi Chengxun opened his mouth to ask.

The man looked at his wife and put his arms around her: "She used to be a nurse, but now that she's married to me, she quit her job to become a housewife."

The woman smiled and nodded to Qi Chengxun.

Qi Chengxun put down his wine glass and looked at her in surprise: "Huh? Nurse a. You must know the medicine for daily illness ba?"

The woman defaulted: "I know a little bit."

"That's great." Qi Chengxun sighed, "Like me a, I don't even know what medicine to take for a cold. The last time I bought medicine for a cold, the people at the pharmacy still asked me if I had wind-chill or wind-heat. Isn't a cold just a cold? What's the difference?"

Woman: "This... is different, because the causes of colds are different, you need to prescribe the right medicine."

"What you say is right a." Qi Chengxun replied, "As a result, I took the wrong medicine, it was not thorough at all. In the end, it developed into inflammation, so I bought anti-inflammatory medicine. The anti-inflammatory medicine really worked. After I took a few pills, it was fine. I ate the remaining pills when the wound became inflamed after a fall."

The woman nodded in agreement with a smile.

Qi Chengxun picked up the cup silently: "Every time when the seasons change, there are so many people who catch colds. In the middle of the night, my neighbor next door knocked on the door and borrowed the antipyretic medicine I bought. I broke off half of the tablet and gave it to his child..."

The woman lowered her head and sipped her wine.

Qi Chengxun smiled slightly, turned around and continued talking to the man. Rong Zheng, who was across the table, raised his eyelids slightly to look at the woman in the couple No. 4, then lowered his head and continued typing on his notebook.

"It should be almost time to eat ba." The women said.

Hearing his girlfriend's words, the man who had been chatting with Qi Chengxun also touched his belly: "It's really slow this time a. No one has come to look for us until now."

"Maybe it's to let us go to the restaurant by ourselves?" Qi Chengxun guessed.

"Probably not ba." The woman quickly pulled her boyfriend and said goodbye to Qi Chengxun with a smile.

After finishing his conversation, Qi Chengxun smiled and waved to them, watching the young couple leave the bar.

Except for the bartender in front of the counter who was expressionless and silent from beginning to end, the only two people left in the bar were Qi Chengxun and Rong Zheng.

Qi Chengxun stared at Rong Zheng intently, then stood up, walked to him, and sat down.

With a snap, Rong Zheng closed the cover of the notebook and looked up at him.

"Yuan Fangcheng, businessman." Qi Chengxun looked at Rong Zheng's face with a smile, "I won't ask about your real name."

Rong Zheng glanced at him.

"I am convinced that you are a player, morever you are not my target." Qi Chengxun whispered, "I also believe, that I am not your target."

Rong Zheng sneered: "Vagrant? That is indeed not my goal."

"I'm not a vagrant." Qi Chengxun said dissatisfied, "Accountant."

Rong Zheng made it clear that he didn't believe it, Qi Chengxun smiled and shrugged, took out an accounting certificate from his arms, put it on the table.

Rong Zheng glanced at it and saw the words 'Qi Chengxun' clearly written on it.

"Of course if you ask me about accounting, I can't answer." Qi Chengxun said in a low voice, "After all, I have never done a day's of accounting. You are not a businessman either ba, you don't have that kind stench of copper that comes naturally with you. Although your clothes and luggage indicate that you are a businessman."

Rong Zheng: "Do you mean to discriminate against businessmen with this sentence?"

"How dare I?" Qi Chengxun glared and said, "How many people in this world rely on businessmen for a living, the economy cannot survive without businessmen a. In fact, I came for you. I want to ask you if you want to cooperate?"

Rong Zheng said nothing.

Qi Chengxun: "I looked around, you are the only one who is not easy to handle. I just want to pass the level and advance. In such a difficult dungeon, it is better to have someone to help you than to work hard alone, and my target is not you."

Rong Zheng: "Do you think I believe it?"

"I'm serious." Qi Chengxun said, "My target is the old man in room 2. He must be the boss of a entertainment company ba. My target is him. As for the reason, I don't know. This is how the mission is written. As for who wants to kill me, I don't know yet, but it's definitely not you. I think your target may be the stupid guy in Room 6, or the middle-aged man in Room 7. Your eyes keep glancing at their body, what I said is right or not?"

"Very right." Rong Zheng, "As for your eyes, you are observing everyone."

Qi Chengxun: "Because I don't know who wants to kill me yet a, so of course I have to be vigilant. In short, the mystery site is coming, my intuition...okay ba, experience tells me that it is very dangerous there, I need a partner who currently has no conflicts of interest. It's quite tiring to compete with you. How about it, want to try working together first ma?"

Rong Zheng looked at him and nodded: "Can."

Qi Chengxun smiled with satisfaction and extended his hand to Rong Zheng. Rong Zheng raised his eyebrows, gave him a false smile, and clasped his hands, establishing a short and fragile cooperative relationship.

Qi Chengxun: The troublesome guy must be solved last. As a ghost, of course, he must achieve the achievement of entire kill.

Rong Zheng: The screw guy has to deal with last. After understanding this person's strength, packs it up and gives it to Xiao Bai.

Qi Chengxun & Rong Zheng: I'll let you go for now.

The young couple were the first to arrive at the restaurant. As an attendant, Bai Leshui was already waiting with a smile. Of course, because he did not inform the passengers this time, the young couple complained a lot. The man in the couple seemed to be a considerate person. He personally went to each room to notify them, soon everyone was there.

Someone also asked Bai Leshui how many times they will have such unannounced normal banquet. Bai Leshui smiled and gave a 'don't know' answer.

In fact, he really didn't know.

He hasn't figured out the rules of this game yet.

Going into the second day of the game, everything seemed calm.

The author has something to say:

Qi Chengxun & Rong Zheng: It is a pleasure to cooperate. (I'll kill you later.)

Bai Leshui: ...Where is my cooperation partner ne?

+++++

There are several types of anti-inflammatory drugs, and there are different drugs for cold inflammation and trauma inflammation.

There is no medicine that can be given to children just by reducing the dosage. Some medicines can have side effects when given to children, some side effects are very scary.

  1. MTL showed smart guy and I was like 'there's no way RZ called him smart'. I was right, the raw say shrew.
    I though it would be cunning but it should mean the same.
  2. If you want to give a med not specified for child, it's better to consult with a doctor or the pharmaceutic workers.
