Chapter 574 Capitalism also has something to learn
It's rare to meet a guy with similar abilities to himself.,Frankly,At first, Yi Cheng wanted to study it carefully.γ
However, then, in front of the suspicious overseas expedition team, after once again proving his "broom star" traits contrary to the title with practical actions, Loki finally won the respect of all his partners...... and to stay away.
"So, if the local savior really came to trouble because of these accidents, you must also help exonerate him."
"That's nature...... But can you not smile at me while talking? β
Yi Cheng, who had black lines, tried his best to avoid the other party's smiling face - not because he suddenly woke up to some abnormal sexual orientation, but because ...... During the test just now, an unlucky Gallic girl just looked at the smiling Loki and responded with an equally ambiguous and seductive smile, and the next moment she threw her feet into the air because of the broken heel, and even exposed the spring light and ...... under the short skirt in broad daylight Buzzing instruments.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but I have to emphasize that if my abilities were really strong enough to influence people with that smile alone, then I wouldn't be thrown into the magic capital to work as a commissioner, would I?"
"Hmm...... That's ...... too."
From a scientific point of view, the so-called luck is actually some kind of mysterious magnetic field that cannot be detected and can have a subtle effect on the organs and thinking of the human body.
And Loki's ability, in Yi Cheng's view, is actually equivalent to turning himself into a peculiar "electromagnet" - at night, with his ability, he can distinguish between "good luck" and "bad luck" by improving his "magnetic force", and choose the electromagnetic field that is more beneficial to himself to provide gain, and in the daytime, because he has no ability to provide energy, only the weak magnetic field he disperses can play is to interfere with the "luck field" of others. And it made the luck of ordinary people who came into contact with it bad luck.
Of course, due to the different degrees of contact, such interference is obviously several, just like the two unlucky taxi drivers just now, because of the receipt of the paper money he touched and had a car accident, but fortunately, in the end, the person was not injured because of this, and the car damage must also be covered by the insurance company, as for the Gallic girl who was just embarrassed in public......
"I always feel that since I have reached the level where I will stuff strange props in my light skirt, the exposure just now is not bad luck in a sense?"
"This one...... It probably has something to do with the individual's luck, after all, even if I am infected by my bad luck, there is a degree of ......"
"Hmm...... In other words, people who were originally very lucky can become 'ordinary good luck' because of such a contagion. β
"Theoretically...... So, can you get a little closer to me now? After all, you don't look like that unlucky person, and ...... This method is indeed quite tiring. β
"Ahem...... Me too...... Just follow your advice. β
In fact, at the same time as this conversation, Yi Cheng and his party were about five steps away from this Loki, and even the occasional passer-by in the surrounding area couldn't help but stop and watch because of their strange behavior.
"Smack!"
After using a portable amnestic device, Yi Cheng boldly approached Loki and was relieved to confirm that the other party's bad luck did not affect him because of such close contact.
"I'll just ...... I consider myself a lucky man. β
"Hint: According to unscientific statistics, anyone who pays lip service to good luck will quickly lose their luck."
"Don't scare me!"
Yi Cheng, who was startled by Ellie, couldn't help but hug Long Lori in his arms, causing the guy to stretch out his arms and kick his legs in dissatisfaction.
And then, the frowning hourglass objected to Yicheng's decision.
"Don't forget, although it's not a special mission, after all, we are operating abroad as the savior of the Celestial Empire, and if we take such a guy with us, it will also have a bad impact on us."
"That's what you're going to do to that Grendham guy...... Obviously, she arranged this play from the beginning. β
ββ¦β¦β
Speaking of the big guy, the hourglass could only keep his mouth shut in amusement.
After all, even when she was a high-ranking member of the Dark Council, she was obviously more than a head shorter than the identity of the three pillars of the Celestial Empire, not to mention the difference in strength between them.
But then again, the reason why Yi Cheng decided to agree to Loki's request is, in the final analysis, actually for personal reasons.
In his opinion, this guy's ability is similar to his own, but he can manipulate it freely, and even make his ability only play a good role under the effect of ordinary ability, not like himself, although he knows that the ability exists but can't control it, and in most cases he will only be treated as an ordinary person, even if he repeatedly achieves impossible victories, in the end, his achievements will often be counted on the heads of others who fight side by side, and his role is selectively ignored......
If...... Although there is not much hope, if you can understand a little bit of how this guy can master this ability freely, then, by drawing inferences, once Yi Cheng can also master it freely...... No, even if you just barely grasp a little bit of your own power, it must be much better than the current situation where you can only rely on the "protagonist's aura" to fight hard and rush hard, but you can't dominate the direction of the battle at all.
"Wait...... Maybe, that Grindham boss actually thought the same way from the beginning? β
Yi Cheng, who suddenly realized this, this time, the mustard for the rash behavior of the Demon City Guardian disappeared in an instant.
"Hey! What are you doing? β
At this moment, Eliza, who had already run away but had to turn back because everyone had not moved, jumped in front of Yicheng with some dissatisfaction.
"It's rare for everyone to come out and play together...... Oh! I am, let's get a deep understanding of the evils of capitalism! Then, everyone should treat the mouth with a serious and serious attitude! β
ββ¦β¦ It always feels like a mistake to bring you out, Eliza. β
"Huh? How...... How can it be! The determination of our proletarian revolutionaries is not so easily shaken! β
"I hope so."
But it is undeniable that Eliza's words are not wrong at all.
It is rare to have such a good paid vacation period, and it is a completely publicly-funded independent travel, since this is the case......
"Capitalism...... Sure enough, there is a lot to learn. β
After a whole day of indulgent play, when she plunged into the soft bed of the hotel, Eliza couldn't help but sigh so heartily.
"So...... Now is the era of reform and opening up, and people's thinking must also keep pace with the times. β
Yi Cheng was satisfied with smashing his tired body directly into the leather sand, holding the juice he had just taken out of the freezer in his hand, and after taking a large sip, he let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
So, if there is something more terrible in this world than the attack of an evil villain, it is probably to go shopping with girls.
Originally, everyone's plan was to visit several famous buildings including the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower, but unfortunately, after only half a circle around the Arc de Triomphe, before Yi Cheng could comprehend any mysterious exercises left by Napoleon from the sculpture on the door, he was forcibly dragged back to the Champs-ElysΓ©es by Eliza and the hourglass.
No way...... Although the song sings that "you don't need to pick the most expensive gift, just the fallen leaves of the Champs", in fact...... Really take a girl to this world-famous top luxury shopping street, and want to hit people with a broken leaf and a broken balloon?
All in all, when the hourglass, who has been in the camp of evil villains for a long time, is a little uncomfortable returning to the bright side of society, and Eliza, who has been a proletarian revolutionary fighter for a long time and lacks corresponding resistance to the sugar-coated shells of capitalism, is completely addicted to the dazzling array of goods on the Champs-ElysΓ©es, the only thing Yi Cheng can do is to cast a murderous look at the helpless Loki while carrying a big bag.
This guy ...... Sure enough, I've already started to infect myself with bad luck!
Fortunately, because of the black card of the red mentor, this day's consumption does not need to be borne by Yi Cheng after all, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
Moreover, it is precisely with this card that Yi Cheng and his entourage are now staying at one of the sixteen five-star "palace-level" hotels known as the most luxurious in the City of Light, the Four Seasons Hotel near the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es.
"Looks like ...... Tomorrow is probably going to be spent in such a shopping spree? β
Looking at the mountain of shopping paper bags piled up on the carpet, Yi Cheng shook his head weakly, thinking in his heart that he would simply spend the day in the hotel pool tomorrow.
In any case, the time spent in Gaul was only three days......
"That's right......"
Patronizing the shopping, I almost forgot to get down to business.
Reluctantly driving his tired body to sit up from the sand, Yi Cheng picked up the phone casually and dialed a two-digit short number.
A moment later, a strange mechanical and electronic sound came from the earpiece.
Bungy ......
"Pig your sister...... Chinese! β
β¦β¦
Obviously, Yi Cheng's rough way of talking made the operator on the other side look confused.
But soon, as Yi Cheng wished, broken Chinese came from the earpiece.
Excuse me...... What's the point?
"Oh, I am the savior of the Celestial Empire, Red Mentor......"
Hold on.
Click.
The phone was suddenly hung up, and Yi Cheng was also at a loss.
Soon, however, there was a knock on the door.
"Gui'an."
Opening the door, a golden woman dressed in a French maid outfit who looked graceful and elegant, with a smooth smile on her face, bowed to Yi Cheng.
"Distinguished guest, Gui'an."
"Oh...... Come in. β
Because of the food cart pushed in his hand, Yicheng took her as a hotel attendant as a matter of course, and turned sideways to let her in.
"Oh...... Is it time for our dinner? Luckily, I just got out of the shower......"
Due to personal reasons, Yi Cheng was forced to open a separate room, and Loki, who lived opposite, apparently heard the noise and opened the door in a bathrobe, only to meet the maid's eyes.
In the next moment, the two exclaimed in unison.
"It's you?!"
