Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.
Chapter 257: The Timeless Laughter
Chapter 257 A Timeless Joke
The long and boring auction had a strong hypnotic effect, just like a math class in senior high school. By the time it was over, Jackie Chan was almost asleep.
He rubbed his temples, and his drowsy brain became a little more clear. He saw that the auction winners were taken to a room to collect their auction items. For some items that were inconvenient to take away, the auction house provided express delivery services.
Jackie Chan was standing at the door, and people came out one by one, but he didn't see anyone leaving with the lamp until the last person left the room.
He stopped the staff member who came out and asked politely.
"Hello, may I ask where the owner of the lamp is? I hope to meet him."
The staff shrugged: "That gentleman has left."
"What?" Jackie Chan was shocked. "What about the lamp he photographed?"
"We will move it to the warehouse and wait for him to claim it. A desk lamp doesn't take up much space."
While the two were talking, another staff member came out holding a desk lamp with a talisman with a mouse pattern on it.
Jackie Chan looked at the rat talisman under the lamp, and felt a little itchy in his heart and hands, with a look of pain on his face.
No, Jackie Chan, you can't do this!
Do you remember that you were in jail for stealing?
You promised Blake not long ago that you would not steal things again!
You're an archaeologist, not a mugger!
"If the buyer doesn't come to claim it, the lamp will have to wait until the next auction."
The staff member holding the desk lamp said casually.
Jackie Chan: …
"The next auction will probably be in a year."
Jackie Chan: …
"Then there's only one answer."
Jackie Chan took a deep breath, grabbed the desk lamp with both hands, pulled it hard and ran out under the surprised eyes of the staff.
"Sorry, just borrow it for a minute. I'll return it to you!"
A few seconds later, the staff member who reacted shouted: "Help, someone is robbing!!!"
The guard at the door moved upon hearing the sound, and the policeman who happened to be patrolling nearby also showed a sharp look and grabbed Jackie Chan who was running out to rub the talisman.
"Put your hands up!"
The policeman pulled out his gun without hesitation and pointed it at Jackie Chan who was trying to break free. He was obviously prepared to shoot randomly and then change to the second magazine to continue, which made Jackie Chan's mouth twitch.
"Tough luck, bad luck, bad luck!"
……
"You definitely can't beat me on the bungee jumping machine."
In the Elk Park, Xiaoyu, who had lost two battles, was full of confidence. The telephone booth in District 13 was just a bungee jumping machine with a weakened protection system, and she had long been accustomed to it.
After all, I don’t walk up stairs every day.
But this thing is even less challenging for someone who can fly. When Xiaoyu finally felt like vomiting due to the feeling of weightlessness, Lu Xie was still able to continue nonchalantly, and the result was as expected.
Xiaoyu scratched her hair and muttered to herself.
Best of seven!
Then she dragged Lu Ke and rushed to the next project fiercely. There were so many projects in the Elk Park, and she didn't believe that she, a game master, couldn't win any of them!
Whack-a-mole, basketball shooting, bumper cars, pendulum, aerial swing...
From thrills to body coordination, from reaction speed to calculation ability, Xiaoyu tried each one with a bitter face, but was defeated every time.
It subsequently evolved into best of nine games, best of six games, and best of thirteen games. In the end, Xiaoyu stopped counting. She stared at Lu Xie with such ferocious eyes that she wished she could eat him up in one bite.
"Is there anything you don't know?"
Lu Xie shrugged. You have to know that he has a large group of brothers supporting him, and even if he is not in his complete form now, his physical fitness is still far ahead.
If there's anything he can't do, it's probably giving birth to a child.
It is not impossible to have a child if they want to. After all, the Lukes have gradually become non-human beings. Changing gender is just a small matter, and changing species is not a problem at all.
But it is unlikely that any Luke would go crazy and give birth to a baby. If one did, it would probably become the first Luke to be isolated and refused to be shared.
"I gave up."
Xiaoyu curled her lips and relaxed her tense body. She finally realized that she had picked the wrong opponent. Not only did she not get the rat talisman, but she lost to him with an ox talisman instead.
"Want to admit defeat?" Lu Xie raised his eyes and asked.
"Don't even think about it. At least I want to have enough fun."
Xiaoyu glared at him fiercely, "Let's go ride the roller coaster!"
"As long as you're happy."
Two people sat in a row on the roller coaster. As the machine started, the roller coaster moved at high speed on the rails, winding and circling in the air, getting faster and faster.
The passengers felt a strong sense of weightlessness in their bodies, and the whistling wind blew past their ears. Everyone's adrenaline surged, their bodies became hot, their faces turned red, and they all began to scream and shout at the same time, finding pleasure in fear.
After getting off the roller coaster, Xiaoyu calmed her violently beating heart, took a deep breath, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
"It's so exciting!"
Lu Xie, who was standing next to her, glanced at her and asked, "Do you want to do it again?"
Xiaoyu was a little surprised: "Is it okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with such a small thing."
So the two of them got on the roller coaster again and experienced the feeling of being weightless in the sky again. This time the excitement was a little less than the last time, but Xiaoyu was already satisfied.
She let out a breath of satisfaction, her hair turned into a broomstick by inertia and wind, and she couldn't push it back no matter how hard she tried.
After seeing this, Lu Xie gently wiped his hair and it became silky and smooth again.
Xiaoyu touched her hair and her eyes lit up: "Hey, big guy, you will definitely be a good hairdresser in the future."
"Thanks for the compliment, but I never thought of becoming an assassin."
Xiaoyu took out the receipts given by the staff during the tour and counted them. These receipts can be exchanged for snacks that children like to eat.
"There are 20 tickets in total, which can be exchanged for two ice creams. Do you want one?"
"Just eat it yourself."
Lu Xie replied nonchalantly, and watching Xiaoyu jumping away, he felt something in his heart and looked up in the direction of the commercial building.
Something seemed to have happened there, and several auras appeared at the same time. A small amount of black air invisible to ordinary people emanated from Lu Xie and drifted towards an unknown distance.
He thought thoughtfully: "The non-existent black air has increased."
To be precise, the total amount has increased, and part of it is a small share from him...
No, it was more like returning a small part to the Holy Lord.
"The Holy Lord was resurrected by someone else, and he even fled to a very far place. He was really brave. He took advantage of me being away and making trouble. It seems that I was too kind to him."
The strongest villain of the last millennium was severely punished by Lu Ke of that world, and his end was so tragic that it was hard to watch.
Lu Xie used some of his attention to sense the situation over there and frowned slightly. The Holy Lord was indeed the MVP of villains who had been active from the first season to the finale, and he was quite difficult to kill.
But it’s better this way. According to the plan, the Holy Lord should be resurrected once, and his good side seems to be there too. There is nothing important in the building, as long as the little snake is fine.
"for you."
Xiaoyu, who was incredibly agile, had returned. She handed Lu Xie a vanilla ice cream and sat down on a chair to eat her own portion.
"I don't want it." "Ms. Hardman said that friends should know how to share."
"When did I ever say I wanted to be friends with you?"
"The ice cream is melting. How can you be so pretentious as an adult?"
Xiaoyu stretched her arm forward impatiently, "If it wasn't for the fact that you took me out to play today, you wouldn't have given it to me if you wanted it."
Lu Xie glanced at the people coming and going, took the ice cream and took a bite a little uncomfortably. The cool texture melted in his mouth, bringing a hint of cool sweetness.
Jade swung her legs after finishing her ice cream, "How does it feel?"
“It’s very average, barely edible.”
Lu Xie expressed his thoughts honestly.
"Shouldn't you feel that ice cream is the most delicious thing you have ever tasted at this moment, and then go home and eat it every day?"
Lu Xie: "...Where did these messed up ideas come from?"
"That's what my good friend told me in a story, about that good friend who knows both kung fu and magic." Xiaoyu looked convinced.
Lu Xie coughed twice and swallowed the ice cream in a few gulps. Then he clapped his hands and stood up. "Since you have admitted defeat, the game is over. I will leave first. After you get the talisman, just send it to the commercial building in the city center."
He had just taken two steps when the corner of his clothes was grabbed by Xiaoyu. She was holding her cell phone with a speechless look on her face.
"Uncle Long, were you arrested for stealing?"
"It's not an arrest. It's just a small misunderstanding. I just borrowed the lamp. How can you say it's robbery when it comes to archaeologists?"
Jackie Chan's voice on the other side was very nervous and low.
"Don't tell Dad. The last time I was in jail, he kept complaining that I set a bad example for you."
"You really set a bad example for me, Uncle Long."
"Next time I will definitely not lend other people things. I swear I will learn from my mistakes. Fortunately, I got the talisman, so this trip was not in vain."
Xiaoyu covered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Long, I forgot to tell you that the rat charm has been replaced by me. The one in your hand is a fake one."
"What!?"
Jackie Chan's voice suddenly became louder, almost deafening Xiaoyu's ears.
"Uncle Long, I can hear you. You can speak more quietly."
"You... I... forget it. As long as the talisman is in your hand, my suffering will not be in vain as long as the mafia members don't get it."
Xiaoyu said a little guilty: "Well, actually the boss of the mafia took the talisman from me."
She thought about it and replaced the word "grab" with "take". "He was the one who took the lamp. It is legal for him to take the rat charm."
"Xiao! Yu! We can't reason with the mafia. They will bring a lot of dangers after getting the talisman."
"Actually, I think he's a nice guy. He took me out for a day today."
"you……"
Jackie Chan was so excited that he wanted to say something, but a voice of "time's up" interrupted their conversation, and then there was a dead tone from the other end of the phone.
Xiaoyu looked at Lu Xie pitifully, "My classmates and I have an appointment to go to the museum, but now I don't have Uncle Long to back me up. Can you bear to see me being laughed at by my classmates?"
"I'm not your Uncle Long."
"Uncle Long is not important. What's important is that I have a guy who knows about antiques to back me up."
"Please, think about the terrible consequences if you don't go. Being laughed at by Xiao Zhu might make me depressed. Once I get depressed, I will smoke, drink, dye my hair, get a tattoo, and then I will degenerate into a bad girl. In the future, I might even go down the road of crime and join the mafia to engage in criminal work!"
"And all this is because you didn't agree to accompany a little girl to visit the museum today."
Xiaoyu spoke with great emotion and used body movements to express and imitate the performance. She acted the role of a little girl with a cigarette in her mouth, and her performance was very lifelike.
"I will be very happy then. The Black Qi Force will gain a new general."
Lu Xie coldly pulled Xiaoyu's hand away and said, "Do you want me to give you a cool tattoo and make you the queen of the Black Shadow Corps?"
"The Queen of the Shadow Troops?"
Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and she was actually a little moved. "You mean to be the queen of those ninja soldiers and order them around at will? Shadow Queen, oh~ this title is really cool."
When Xiaoyu was daydreaming, the image of Lu Ke, wearing a white holy robe and sitting on the back of a yak with her, suddenly appeared in her mind, and the little flame in her heart was instantly extinguished.
"No, my good friend is a Saint Seiya, I won't go against him."
"It sounds like you're very fond of that friend of yours?"
The grim expression on Lu Xie's face relaxed a little.
"Of course, he is my potential boyfriend. As long as we grow up in a few years, we can be together legitimately. Dad and Uncle Long will not object."
Xiaoyu said it as a matter of course.
"...I promised to accompany you to the museum, so please don't mention premature love anymore." Lu Xie rubbed his eyebrows.
"This topic is too dangerous. I'm worried about being invited to have a chat with the FBI."
Xiaoyu gave him a strange look, "What does it have to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter at all!"
Lu Xie wiped his face, and when his hands left his face, it had turned into another tough face with a big nose, which scared Xiaoyu so much that she almost jumped up.
"Uncle Long!?"
"You'll have to attend a parent-teacher conference later, and it's not good for your uncle to look different."
Lu Xie, who turned into Jackie Chan, said indifferently.
Xiaoyu looked at Lu Xie, whose body shape had changed, in amazement: "You are so thoughtful. Also, your makeup skills are amazing."
"Let's go."
……
Half an hour later, the two stopped in front of their own museum.
There, the brown-skinned Xiaozhu with glasses was waiting for Xiaoyu with his hands in his pockets.
"You're so slow, Xiaoyu, I'm almost done shopping."
"Something happened in the middle, and I went to the Elk Park and forgot about it."
"I don't believe it." Xiao Zhu laughed, "Your grades are so bad and you always get into trouble at school. How could your family take you to the Elk Park? I haven't even had the chance to go there."
Lu Xie next to him glanced at Xiao Zhu, took out an extra-large super moose from his personal space and placed it in front of Xiao Yu.
"You are wrong, kid. Whether to go to the amusement park depends on whether the family values the child's wishes. Xiaoyu is very cute and all family members like her very much. This super moose is the prize that Xiaoyu won in the Elk Park."
Lu Xie squatted down and gave Xiao Zhu an evil smile, "You are different. Your parents don't want to take you to the Elk Park not because of your poor grades or poor performance, but because they want to save money and find an excuse."
Xiao Zhu was stunned for a moment, feeling cold all over. This tone that seemed to shatter his young heart was particularly familiar, just like that of the devil classmate sitting behind him.
Recently, the demon has been calm and smiling, and no longer teases him. He thought that this kind of freak had disappeared, but he didn't expect to meet another one today, and it was a larger and more enhanced version!
"You're a liar! You're just as much of a liar as Xiaoyu!"
Lu Xie sighed to express his regret and sympathy.
"Think about it carefully. Not to mention taking you to the Tiger Elk Park, they are reluctant to buy you fried chicken and watermelon. They don't love you!"
