Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"Roy! Come here!!!"

Roy: In private Marseille, Vadasi was wrong. (;'??Д??`)

Chapter 134 Saltless Noodles

Unfortunately, it's too late to say all this now.

Said could already imagine how he, the King of Dam Zero, would ever face anyone again after Sofia's big mouth spread the word!

Said grew angrier the more he thought about it. With his keen hearing, he pinpointed Roy's location in the smoke as he frantically fled.

"Where are you, you little mouse? You're not going to keep hiding from me, are you? Let me see where you're hiding!"

Said crept up behind Roy silently, and seeing Roy still looking around in a panic, he inadvertently uttered his old catchphrase.

Upon hearing Said's voice behind him, Roy had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and gave Said an awkward but polite smile.

"Um, could you please hit me a little lighter later? I'll eat less next time I come here..."

Said looked at Roy, who was squatting on the ground trembling with a half-smile. This guy wouldn't stop until he was taught a profound lesson.

"Hmph, not going to slap me in the face? Fine. Since you say I got you pregnant, then I'll grant your wish. Xiao Hao, go find Abel and have him bring a 'big stick' to the basement to find me. Your Uncle Roy and I will be right back."

As Roy watched Zhang Hao skip and hop away, his buttocks began to ache slightly.

"Hey, old man, you're not really going to do this, are you? I'm still a virgin! What are you doing? Don't come any closer! What the hell!!!"

The following plot couldn't pass censorship due to its gore and violence, so I won't write it down; you can use your imagination. ('▽`???)

Before he knew it, it was lunchtime. Zhang Hao, who had been busy in the office with Sophia all day, was also hungry. Listening to the continuous screams coming from the basement, which had been going on for so long, Zhang Hao had no choice but to take out his phone and make a call to Shen Lan.

“Hey, Uncle Deep Blue, Roy and I came to Uncle Said’s place to play… What? No, no, I didn’t come specifically to teach him how to cook. Roy took his old shoes to Uncle Said to get them repaired, but some things happened during that time, so it looks like we can’t go back for lunch now. Hmm, Roy and I will leave our share to Brother Dragon and Uncle Terry.”

Sophia, who was sitting to the side, stretched and yawned. She had worked with Zhang Hao all morning and finished the amount of work that she had done with Said in two days. It seemed that she could rest for a while tomorrow.

"Xiao Hao, are you hungry? Come on, let's go see what they've been doing down there, that they've been calling for so long."

After seeing that Zhang Hao had finished his phone call, Sophia decided to take him to the basement of the dam to see what was going on that could make Dr. Roy scream so loudly and so noisily.

Zhang Hao: What? Noisy! This is clearly heavenly music, I forgot to record it for everyone.

When the two arrived on the first floor, they found that the screams had stopped, followed by silence.

Zhang Hao and Sophia also rushed to the basement. What a joke! If they came down, there would be no gossip to watch.

When the two arrived, they found Roy tied to a pillar, his head drooping listlessly, while Said and Abel watched silently from the side.

“Uncle Said, Roy, he…”

Zhang Hao pointed to Roy, whose fate was "unknown," and asked Said, who was holding a "big stick" to the side.

"Oh, you're here! Wow, it's so late! It seems that doing things that make people happy really does make time fly by!"

When Saeed saw the two arrive, he threw the stick he was holding aside and then explained to Zhang Hao:

"This guy's faking it. I always had Abel hit him before, and he didn't even use much force, but he was still yelling and screaming. I just hit him twice and this is what happened. Watch out, Xiao Hao."

After saying that, Sayed delivered a side kick to Roy and said:

"Stop pretending to be dead here, or I'll leave you here to continue our 'exercise' after Xiao Hao goes back."

Roy, who had seemed to have died, suddenly came back to life and cried to Zhang Hao:

"Waaaaah, Xiao Hao, please take me away! This Said is practically a gangster! He... he... Waaaaah, please take me away, Xiao Hao!"

Zhang Hao merely tilted his head to look at Luo Yi, who was crying and pleading with him, and uttered words from his rosy lips that chilled Luo Yi to the bone:

"Huh? I didn't say we were leaving now, Roy. I just called Deep Blue and told him not to wait for us to eat. It's already lunchtime, so I told him we'd eat here."

After hearing this, Roy almost fainted. He regretted his foolishness and thought his fragile heart had been hurt again.

"Oh right, Xiao Hao, I almost forgot about it. Abel, hurry up and go to the kitchen..."

"Hurry up and go to the kitchen and tell them to quickly make a bowl of braised pork and stew a chicken, right?"

Abel interrupted Said before he could finish speaking, then shrugged helplessly and turned to leave for the kitchen.

"Hey, wait a minute, this is Xiao Hao's, that's right. Tell the kitchen to make another serving of unsalted noodles, and make sure it's a large portion. It wouldn't be good for Roy to starve to death here."

"Unsalted noodles? Does that mean noodles without salt? What's there to eat with that?"

Abel, puzzled by Said's strange request, asked.

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that. Just do as I say."

Said waved at him and casually untied Roy, who was still bound.

"Waaaaah, Lao Sai, I misunderstood you. You even gave me special tutoring. Waaaaah, I love you, I love you."

Roy clung to Said, sobbing uncontrollably, while Said winked at Zhang Hao where Roy couldn't see.

Zhang Hao: Sigh, poor Roy, he still suffers from his lack of education.

"Hehe, to be honest, I'm really hungry after being beaten up for so long. Come on, come on, I'll try the Asara specialties you prepared for me, Lao Sai. By the way, you guys eat noodles here?"

Roy once again turned on his talkative mode, pulling Said aside to chat about this and that, and even bringing in Zhang Hao and Sophia to give their opinions on the salt-free noodles.

"It's delicious. Roy, you can eat it later. You'll eat it all without making a sound."

"Hooray! Really? Wow, even Xiao Hao said so. Oh dear, Said, I misunderstood you."

Saeed: ... (I don't like to talk, hehe.)

"This isn't a local specialty; it's from Xiaohao's place in China."

After thinking it over, Said decided not to let Asara take the blame. He probably already knew how nasty Roy's insults would be later.

(Weekends are better, there are more people on weekends.)

Chapter 135 A Loser?

After Zhang Hao and his group waited at the dining table for a while, several Asara soldiers brought out the food one after another.

Looking at the fragrant dishes in front of him, Zhang Hao took a sniff and then asked Said, who was standing proudly to the side:

"Uncle Sayed, you must have personally trained these chefs, right?"

Zhang Hao: My nose is a ruler, just kidding. It's full of my shadow. This isn't something Uncle Said taught me to eat.

"Oh, it has to be Xiao Hao! He can even smell it! Come on, try it. It's different from when you cook it yourself. Let's just make do with this!"

Unlike Saeed and Zhang Hao, Roy stared blankly at the large bowl of white noodles in front of him.

"No...it's not Old Sai, this...this is really my unsalted noodles?"

He smelled it, and well, there was no smell. Roy picked up his chopsticks, blew on it twice, and then "poof!" he spat it out.

"Damn it, Lao Sai, you........."

Roy stared wide-eyed at Said, who was whistling with his back turned, then looked at Zhang Hao and Sophia, who were pretending to eat as if nothing was wrong. At that moment, his heart, which was pounding, almost broke.

"Ahem, Roy, you know how poor our dam is. You know, many people couldn't even afford a bowl of noodles like this before. You're complaining about how bad it tastes, but do you know how many people a bowl of noodles like this could save here?"

Saeed coughed awkwardly twice, but then reverted to his previous cold and serious demeanor. What he said next made Zhang Hao and Sophia, who were watching the drama unfold, nod in agreement.

"So Roy, it seems that this can indeed be considered a unique feature of our dam. Unlike Reis, who has the best, biggest and most abundant resources, we don't have a scumbag like Hamk who burns, kills and plunders everywhere. Everything we have now has to be earned by ourselves."

Said patted Roy on the shoulder.

"But...but I don't want to either..."

"No, you need to experience Roy. Look, Xiao Hao taught me how to make this noodle. You don't want Xiao Hao to look at you with disappointment, do you?"

Roy turned his head to look, and Zhang Hao immediately pretended to look at him with a disappointed expression, as if he were looking at someone who was wasting food.

"I...I'll eat it, okay?"

Seeing this, Sayed secretly gave Zhang Hao and his group a thumbs-up from behind. Although this was somewhat of a ruse, Sayed wasn't lying. Before Zhang Hao arrived at the dam, countless people from Asara had starved to death while wandering outside. If they had had a bowl of unsalted noodles like this, they might not have starved to death...

So even though Sayed seems wealthy and powerful in front of Zhang Hao, he has had all the resources he has acquired calculated carefully, because he doesn't want people to starve to death on the dam again.

Roy looked at Sayed, who was still dressed the same as when he first saw him, even though he kept telling Zhang Hao that the dam was doing well and that he had money. The shoes on his feet were just as bad as Roy's, and the cloak behind him was tattered and covered in repairs.

Roy looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him again, and it seemed... not so bad after all.

A few minutes later........

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore, Saeed, get me some salt, I can't hold it in anymore, Xiao Hao, give me the rest of your broth, I can't eat anymore, it's too much, and it doesn't even have any flavor."

Seeing that it was about time, Sayed had someone take Roy's bowl of noodles away and gave him a serving of vegetables and rice.

"Wow, this dish is delicious!"

When Roy took another bite of the greens, tears welled up in his eyes. "Oh my god, it's so delicious! How can there be such delicious vegetables?"

After they finished eating, Sofia suddenly asked:

"Xiao Hao, you said that more and more people are coming to join us now, and even though we're speeding up the construction of houses, it's still not enough. Besides, the dam area isn't big enough to accommodate so many people. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Hao wiped his mouth. Said had mentioned this issue to him a long time ago, but at the time, because there weren't many people at the dam, the two of them didn't pay much attention to it. After all, who would have thought that so many people would not go to Reis's place but instead come to their poor dam?

"Hmm... I think that without taking down Hamk or Reis, it seems the only option is to expand towards the dam. Uncle Said, didn't you start building warehouses there before? Now that we have more people, send more people to expand the dam's territory to the side. We can also build houses there to accommodate the staff."

Zhang Hao thought for a moment and then thought of Longbow Valley, Asara's largest territory at present.

"Of course, if we can take over Longbow Valley from Reis, then none of your problems will be a problem, Sister Sophia. Many people originally fled from Reis, so Longbow Valley can accommodate more people than you think."

After discussing for a while, Zhang Hao and Luo Yi suggested that they go back first.

"Goodbye Uncle Said, Sister Sofia!"

"Okay! Come again next time!"

Roy glanced at the two standing together, gave Said a knowing look that only men could understand, then chuckled and sped off, giving Said no chance to kick him.

"Roy! You just wait until next time you come!!!"

But all that came was Roy's smirking laugh carried on the wind.

After returning, Zhang Hao was looking forward to a nice nap in his room, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Luna as soon as he got back to the Special Operations Department.

Zhang Hao blinked, looking at Luna with a very serious expression, somewhat bewildered.

What happened to me again? Has something else gone wrong?
