I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Love you, cunning little rabbit!



Chapter 201: Human nature is always a compromise

Chen Huijie put on her clothes and walked out of the room, with a slight blush still on her face.

The master and the disciple tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened.

It was an accident in the first place, and bringing it up deliberately, whether it's an apology or a statement that you don't care, would seem strange.

"Huijie, have you joined the Guards?" Viego was concerned about Chen Huijie's recent situation.

"Not yet, Master." Chen Huijie brought a cup of hot water to Viego and replied, "The entry examination for the Guard Bureau will begin in a month, and there will be other interviewees participating."

Viego understood and asked, "What is your attitude towards the apprenticeship banquet your uncle mentioned?"

Chen Huijie was stunned: "Master, you want to ask me?"

"Of course I have to ask you." Viego thought it was natural. "You are my apprentice, and I have to ask for your opinion on your apprenticeship banquet."

Viego knew that Chen Huijie and her uncle did not have a good relationship, so she wanted to join the Guard Bureau and start from the grassroots level. She probably didn't want people to think that she was the niece of Governor Longmen and relied on her background to bully others.

Therefore, regarding this so-called "apprenticeship banquet", he must of course ask his cheap apprentice's wishes.

In fact, as long as Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue are willing to acknowledge that his master's intention has been conveyed, it doesn't matter whether there is a master-apprentice banquet or not.

Chen Huijie sat down next to Viego and thought seriously for a moment before looking at Viego and giving her answer: "If you don't mind, I would like to postpone this apprenticeship banquet."

"Postpone?" Viego raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I hope...after I have truly made Longmen better, I will hold this apprenticeship banquet with you." The blue-haired dragon girl's red eyes were full of seriousness.

She hoped that the outside world would know Viego as 'the master of the niece of the Governor of Longmen', rather than 'the master of Chen Huijie, a rising star in the Longmen Guards Bureau'.

This apprenticeship banquet should be hosted by her herself.

Instead of having Wei Yanwu help her organize it and invite those bigwigs.

It was "the apprenticeship party of beloved disciple Chen Huijie and respected teacher Foyego", not "the apprenticeship party of the governor's niece and an unknown man."

Viego may not care about this.

But Chen Huijie wanted to do her best in this matter with her master.

Viego quickly guessed what she meant, and nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll wait for you then."

Chen Huijie felt strange after hearing this.

I always feel a subtle sense of déjà vu.

What if your hair grows to your waist?

"Then do you still want to see Wei Yanwu?" Chen Huijie quickly threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind and asked to divert his attention.

"Of course I have to meet him, otherwise how can I make him feel at ease?" Viego laughed: "Besides... I also have something I want to discuss with him."

Longmen is so big, such a prosperous commercial city, and backed by the mysterious Great Flame...

Not to mention the technical methods to build a mobile city, at least, the Governor of Longmen, who has single-handedly built Longmen from an old and dilapidated city to its current size, should have some understanding of the financial, material and human resources required to build a mobile city, right?

Viego didn't necessarily need to get anything immediately, nor did he want to blackmail his niece's uncle.

But at least, he has to start understanding these things in time so that he can plan his future development path.

And Wei Yanwu is an extremely excellent channel for obtaining these rare experiences and knowledge.

As the saying goes, it’s better to be prepared.

......

Chen Huijie parked the car in front of the Wei Mansion and looked at Viego, with no intention of getting out of the car:

"Master, I'll be waiting for you outside?"

"If you don't plan to go in, Huijie, then just go home and rest, or take care of your own business." Viego said:

"I think I'll have to talk to your uncle for quite some time. There's no need to wait here. I'll probably go around the city by myself later. Don't worry about me."

"Okay, goodbye, Master."

Chen Huijie nodded, without playing the pretentious drama of the master and disciple bidding farewell to each other. He watched Viego get out of the car, walk towards Wei's house and knock on the door. He waved goodbye to Viego and simply drove away.

She is not the kind of person who is pretentious.

——But in fact, it was mainly because she knew that Viego could find her anytime he wanted, and it was no longer like before when he had to travel for several months just to see her.

...but she herself would never admit that.

Viego walked into the Wei residence, and a tightly wrapped figure wearing a black straw raincoat, a bamboo hat, and a mask covering his face appeared in front of him, and made a gesture to lead the way:

"Mr. Wei is waiting for you in the study."

Viego nodded, walked in the direction the man pointed out, and found the study.

Looking at the tall dragon man with obvious animal features in the study, Viego raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the book, these individuals with obvious animal characteristics are called "those with strong ancestor bloodline", and it seems that every race has similar ones.

But it was the first time that Viego saw a real...

To use the words of his previous life, it was - "Fu Rui".

"Welcome, Mr. Viego." Wei Yanwu smiled and poured a cup of tea for Viego as if they were old friends. He extended his hand to signal, "Please sit down. I've been wanting to chat with you for a long time."

Viego followed suit and sat down to drink some tea first.

...I couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but the tea used by the Governor of Longmen to entertain guests couldn't be bad.

"Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Wei." Viego said, "I want to ask you something."

"Oh?" Wei Yanwu revealed a hint of doubt. "But you can tell me."

Asking one thing...?

He made such a move right away. Did he really know that Huijie was my niece and was deliberately trying to get close to her? Or...

Is this Viego so unpredictable?

What would he ask? About Huijie, about me, or about Longmen...

Or maybe even about Dayan?

I have never heard of this "powerful man" in Da Yan before, and he should not know my identity...

Wei Yanwu's mind was racing, but his expression was still puzzled, and he did not show any signs of doubt.

"I'm a little ashamed to say this." Viego smiled shyly. "I wonder if Mr. Wei knows anything about the mobile city manufacturing technology?"

Wei Yanwu was slightly stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said cautiously, "There are many confidential matters regarding the mobile city. Let me ask you one more question. Why are you asking about this...?"

At this moment, Wei Yanwu had many deeply unpleasant thoughts in his mind.

"Oh, nothing." Viego smiled and said, "I'm just a little curious. How much financial, human and material resources would it take to build a prosperous mobile city like Longmen?"

That's it...

Wei Yanwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, revealing a hint of complaint at the right time: "Sir Viego, why don't you just say you're curious? You really scared me. I thought you wanted to know some confidential technology."

Viego kept smiling and watched Wei Yanwu's performance quietly.

A writer once said: Human nature is always a compromise.

It seems that this also applies in the other world.

Sir, you never lied to me!

Chapter 202: No, do you really want to sleep with me?

Wei Yanwu roughly told Viego about what was needed to build a mobile city. It was not detailed and mostly just general summaries.

But, this is enough.

Generally speaking, if you want to build a mobile city from scratch, financial resources alone are definitely not enough, apart from the most critical technology.

The materials needed to build mobile cities are basically high-end materials controlled by various countries. If you want to buy them with money, you can only go to the black market to buy the small amount of materials that occasionally flow out.

Not only are they expensive, but they are also often out of stock.

The construction of a mobile city is not something that can be done just by saying it.

During the construction process, the productivity of at least ten industrial mobile cities is required to produce the various key materials needed.

Moreover, the subsequent urban construction, land expansion, talent absorption, and personnel flow cannot be achieved solely by money.

Wei Yanwu "took over" Longmen and made the city more prosperous, rather than "building" Longmen from scratch.

Building a new mobile city is not an easy decision to make, even for the rich and powerful Dayan. This shows how difficult it is.

Viego wants to build a mobile city by himself...

All I can say is that there is still a long way to go.

Afterwards, Viego and Wei Yanwu talked about his cheap apprentice Chen Huijie and reached a consensus.

When Wei Yanwu said he wanted to hold a banquet to pay homage to his teacher, he was just trying to show his attitude and express that as "Chen Huijie's elder", he acknowledged Viego. Whether he held the banquet or not didn't really matter.

As for Chen Huijie's idea of ​​making some achievements on his own, Wei Yanwu did not comment, but just said:

"If she wants to take this path, she will inevitably encounter many situations that are not in line with her ideals and she will have to make choices. At that time, her ideals alone will not be able to support her to continue on."

"Don't you still have me as your master?" Viego responded with a smile, drank two sips of tea, and stood up to say goodbye.

He planned to visit the city of Longmen and stroll around, so he had no intention of letting his cheap apprentice lead the way.

There is an old saying that goes well:

Come here.

Then take a trip to see this bustling and diverse metropolis.

Viego left the Wei Mansion and walked in a direction that he liked.

......

Viego looked around at the buildings that were gradually becoming old, and walked over to a shop on the street that was crowded with people.

The customers of this kind of small street restaurant are generally familiar neighbors nearby. If it looks crowded and lively, the food must be good.

As a member of the foodie empire in his previous life, Viego was naturally curious about the flavors of the various local cuisines and snacks in Longmen.

Dong's fish balls?

What kind of fish is a scaly fish?

Or is it simply the "fish balls" from the previous life?

Viego looked at the sign, raised his brows slightly, and walked into the shop.

The next second, heavy rain suddenly fell behind him, and the shop owner quickly put up the awning.

Viego was slightly stunned.

What a coincidence.

There were quite a few customers in the store. The owner, probably a middle-aged man with a lame limb and surnamed Dong, had set up two tables and chairs under the awning, in a position where they would not be wet by the rain.

Viego found an empty table and sat down, then casually called out, "Boss, what's the sign?"

"Rinwan Shop, of course the signature dish is Rinwan!" the boss replied with a smile. "You are a stranger and this is your first time eating in the store, so I will give you a 20% discount!"

People in Longmen all speak in a very funny way.

Viego sighed in his heart and nodded: "Then let's have a bowl to taste it first."

"Okay, guests, please wait a moment!" The boss walked back to the dining table and wiped his hands. Although he had a limp, his hands moved very skillfully.

Viego turned his head and looked outside the store.

The heavy rain blurred the old street scene.

Longmen is roughly divided into two areas, the inner ring and the outer ring. His current location is probably the junction of the inner and outer rings, which feels a bit like the junction of the new and old urban areas in his previous life, or the "urban-rural fringe".

Viego listened to the casual conversations of the diners in the restaurant. Some were talking about the newly introduced policies; some were talking about who in the outer ring had grabbed a piece of territory and caught the attention of the big boss; and some were saying that the Guards seemed to be preparing to clean up the gangs in the outer ring.
