I have a map editor

After trying it, everyone felt that it was “just so-so”.

Only Claire was talkative and said in English: "It's not that delicious, is it?"

Emily was enjoying the meal. She said, "It's much better than the Chinese restaurant in America. You can't compare Lucas's skills with theirs."

Claire didn't say anything back: "That's true, it's indeed OK."

Well, the English in Flower Country is exactly the same as the English in America in this world. Thanks to the reasons we all know, Baichuan and Tao Yun have a pretty good command of English. After understanding their conversation, they looked at Lucas with even more curiosity.

Nina licked her fingers and said, "No way, such delicious food is just okay in your eyes? Boss can also cook?"

"Of course, Luo Ruier and I were taught by him. We are the two cooking at the time you joined. You will know when you have the chance to taste Boss's cooking skills in the future."

“I think this dish of bean noodles with sand garlic is good.”

“It’s far inferior to Buddha Jumps Over the Wall”

"You are just arguing. This dish only contains a few kinds of seafood. It costs tens... no, hundreds of dollars at most. How many ingredients does Buddha Jumps Over the Wall need? It might cost more than 30 dollars to make a bowl now."

Lucas raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Broken butt, broken butt, this conversation is full of broken butt. The dollar has been depreciating for many years, and your concepts should also change accordingly, instead of comparing prices from more than a decade ago.

But it seemed that Baichuan and Tao Yun didn't hear it, and Baichuan poked him and asked in a low voice:

“What is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?”

"No way, this dish isn't available here either?"

After traveling through time, Lucas really hadn't collected any information on food. Hearing her ask this, he could only guess that this delicacy didn't exist in this world, otherwise, given the popularity of this dish, it would definitely be known to everyone.

"It's a dish made with top-quality ingredients from land and sea, such as abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, shark's fin, fish maw, tendon, etc. It takes three days to prepare, not counting the soaking process," Lucas said briefly.

"sucking"

(﹃)(﹃), they were enjoying delicious food, and even though the description was brief, Baichuan and Tao Yun both swallowed their saliva.

"No way, this abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, and fish maw are all top-notch ingredients. How delicious must it be if so many of them are mixed together?"

Bai Chuan showed a yearning look, and Tao Yun beside him also nodded, but she might be more rational. She immediately thought of the price that Zhuo Yisi had just converted, and her face changed: "But forget it, these things are all so expensive. Eating them once is not a matter of bleeding your wallet, but going bankrupt."

Lucas smiled and said, "There is a simplified version, which is a little less flavorful. Maybe you can make a bowl for a few thousand yuan."

"That's expensive enough. How can ordinary bosses like us afford it?" Tao Yun looked at Lucas, as if looking at a street lamp pendant...

"How can you be an ordinary citizen? I heard from my cousin that you work in the immigration department, Xiaoyun?" Lucas changed the topic to the main business of this dinner... Eh? It wasn't really a main business. The main business was to treat Baichuan to a meal in return for her lending her the network ID in the first place.

However, nowadays, after three rounds of dishes, it is in line with the communication mode of traditional dinner parties.

Before coming, Baichuan had revealed the secret to Tao Yun, but Tao Yun seemed very cautious and was unwilling to give in easily even with Baichuan's guarantee.

"I need to see your ID first. Our department is very strict. Where's your passport? Show it to me."

As she spoke, she dipped the rice cake into the broth of home-cooked yellow croaker and ate it. She seemed to be a real foodie.

Lucas felt his coat on the back of the chair, took out a small passport booklet and handed it to her. Tao Yun took it, put her hands under the table, looked at it for a few seconds, then took out her cell phone and put it under the table as well.

Baichuan leaned forward, but was slapped away by her.

"Hey, cousin Yang, I'm doing this for Xiao Bai's sake. You're treating me to such a big fish. Otherwise, you'd have to wait ten days or half a month just to go through the formalities. I won't ask you how you got in. When do you want to write down the time of entry?"

Perhaps she found Lucas's legal entry permit in the database through the mobile phone network. She raised her head and looked at Lucas carefully, then lowered her eyes and said.

Lucas thought about it. His family landed on the ground at 4 o'clock in the morning under the cover of darkness before dawn. "Let's fill in 4 o'clock. 4 o'clock today."

"No, I'll fill in 8:10 for you. Now there is a rule that even if you arrive at 4:8, you have to wait until the port opens at : before you can enter. It's a matter of electronic records. I'll do it for you now."

As they were talking, a sound similar to that of scanning a QR code came from under the table. After a beep, Tao Yun returned Lucas' passport.

"Your passports."

After Lucas took it, he greeted everyone else, starting with Nina. Each family member passed their passports over one by one, and Lucas handed it to Tao Yun again.

Tao Yun was still working under the table, but when it was someone else's turn, she looked up from time to time, as if comparing the real person with the photo, and she looked quite serious and strict.

"Yunyun, do you have mobile internet office software now?" Baichuan asked curiously.

"Yes, my office is a little special. Sometimes I have to go out to work.

"

"Oh"

Tao Yun finished one copy over there and handed over a passport. Lucas asked:

"Is it so convenient now? Don't we need to go to another counter to get a new official seal?"

"Nowadays, we all work online. As long as there is an electronic record in the database, it will be fine. But cousin Yang, although your passport has a four-year validity period, it is best to go to the local public security bureau for an annual inspection every year. By the way, have you decided where you want to settle down and work in the future?"

Tao Yun asked casually, seemingly unintentionally, but as if he was trying to ask a question.

"Harbin in the north, I'm originally from the north... I mean my ancestral home is in the north, the housing prices there are cheap, and it's convenient for my girlfriend to go to college there. The National Defense University there is not accessible, but there are many other colleges. As for work, I know a little bit of everything, so it shouldn't be hard to find one."

Speaking of this, Emily, who had been eating next to Lucas, raised her head and made a face.

Bai Chuan chuckled: "Emily, since you are going to college, why don't you stay here?"

Lucas tactical retreat: "The housing prices here are too scary"

"Ha," Baichuan and Tao Yun laughed knowingly, "It's not that exaggerated. Compared with the top foreign communities, it probably can't compare."

Lucas thought of his villa and nodded: "That's true..."

"Affected by the Zerg invasion, the room prices in Shanghai are actually much lower. If you only rent and don't buy, you won't need much in four years of college. And, cousin Yang, you know how to mix the magic muscle soaking solution. Shanghai is one of the final sales markets in the country. If you can really mix the A-level soaking solution, you don't have to worry about the money. There are also many scientific research institutions and companies here. Even if you want to form a hunting team, the rewards for the missions issued by these institutions and companies are one of the best in the country."

Tao Yun said as she continued to work under the table.

Bai Chuan also chimed in: "Yes, yes, and if Emily wants to go to college, we can help. Local universities like Shuangdan University, Jiaotong University, and Foreign Languages ​​College are all very famous. You are foreigners and have preferential policies. You don't need to look at the college entrance examination results. You only need to take an entrance exam. The questions are usually very simple."

"Are you simply trying to keep me here?"

"The housing prices in Shanghai will be low? I think you are trying to cheat me..."

"But you're right. Overall, this place is better."

……

Lucas was persuaded by the two girls, and since he planned to stay in Shanghai, the first priority was naturally to have a place to live. After dinner and payment, the two girls were very enthusiastic to act as tour guides and led them to popular residential areas.

Lucas probably understood their mentality a little bit - it's not the mentality of wanting to hang themselves on the street lights, but the mentality of wanting to see their wallets bleed.

Back to the topic of housing, for Lucas' family, the best residence that meets all their requirements is naturally a villa with a private courtyard, but they are limited by purchasing power... It's not that Lucas can't afford a big house. Give him time, and it won't take too long. According to the market price of "Divine Muscle Immersion Liquid", it is estimated that he can earn enough money for a big house in less than a year.

He just couldn't afford it for the time being, and if he wasn't afraid of the tax and customs departments of the mysterious country, he could actually pay with precious metals right now... But this thing weighs more than 200 grams, and if he wants to use it legally, he must pay customs duties and several other taxes. The mysterious country is not the Flower Country or America, which have so many daring private financial institutions. Lucas doesn't know anyone like Merry who is successful in many fields.

After taking a car to see several high-rise residential buildings, Lucas was not very satisfied with any of them - in fact, the conditions of these houses were very good. The only thing that made Lucas dissatisfied was the privacy. After all, he now had too many secrets.

So he decided to look for villas and asked Baichuan and Tao Yun if they had any villas for rent.

Neither of them was a professional real estate agent. They were just joining in the fun. They took out their phones and checked through their own methods. There must be some, and in this state, there were actually quite a few.

During the invasion of the Sky Demon Zerg, there were people like Lucas who fled to the country, but they were very few; without the "Corvina epidemic" for comparison, I believe that there were more people who fled to foreign countries with 99 aircraft carriers in a certain big country, and these people were usually rich.

There are all kinds of villa-style residences for sale and rent, and the prices are very low, and there are quite a lot of them.

However, in places like this, usually not just anyone can enter to view the house. You have to contact a professional real estate or agency, get the key, and then there will be a professional house sales service to accompany you.

Lucas first roughly screened several locations and then went to different real estate agencies.

The real estate industry must be in a recession at this time. The companies I visited were all extremely enthusiastic, but it seems that this industry is no longer competitive. I no longer see any pretty sales ladies, but instead a lot of middle-aged ladies.

After inspecting several villa areas, Lucas was not very satisfied because these villa areas were still too "lively". Affected by insect plagues, these villa areas were now like zoos, surrounded by a layer of iron cages, and filled with children, old men and women.

Until we arrived at the last inspection point, a villa area called "xxx Water Village".

As soon as he arrived here, Lucas' eyes lit up: It's so desolate.

On a small hill next to the villa area, you can see the requisitioned and built Shanghai City air defense position.

This place is located in the suburbs, close to the river. It was originally a villa area with a very advantageous geographical location. The price was more expensive than those areas I have seen before. No villa cost less than 5 million. But everything changed because of the arrival of the Sky Demon Zerg.

Although the developer spent a lot of money to install very sturdy and high-end protective iron cages here, the protection is still too difficult due to the river water. As a result, several vicious cases occurred in which "Sky Demon" insects drilled into the iron cages from underwater and killed several wealthy families.

This wasn't just one incident, but several. It didn't take long for the rich to have the means and value their lives more than the poor. In just one week, all the residents here left.

Both land and housing prices plummeted. Fortunately, during the special disaster period, the mysterious country introduced many protection policies, so developers did not collectively go to the rooftops, and this villa area was sealed up half-dead.

I don't know how many years it has been idle, but the stainless steel protective iron cage looks dirty. Maybe the legend here is too scary. The saleswoman who took them to see the house was shaking with her hands when she opened the lock. It was only after Lucas comforted her that her expression improved a little.

There was not a single living person in the entire community. Even the security guards were unwilling to stay in such a place. The various ornamental plants that were unattended were in a mess like the set of a horror movie. Some villas that looked quite nice had large areas of broken glass. The weeds in the courtyard were taller than people. The tall vines were twisted like terrifying monsters, which looked even more eerie.

"Wow, no way, you...you really plan to live in a place like this?"

It was Baichuan's first time here, so he wasn't too affected by the rumors, but he couldn't help swallowing.

"Well, I think it's fine. Here..."

Claire spoke in a haughty tone, but was pinched by Emily, and turned back to look at her daughter in surprise.

Emily just mouthed: Shut up.

Following the direction of her finger, Claire saw the woman who might have been a sales lady a few years ago. She understood a little, made a zipper motion with her mouth, shrugged, and stopped talking.

The real estate company is unable to maintain this place, but the infrastructure is still very intact. I tried several villas in succession and found that the tap water, electricity and network cables were all intact.

When they were visiting another villa, who would have thought that there was a hidden ordinary "Sky Demon" Zerg inside. It suddenly jumped out from the corner, and the sales woman screamed in fear. Lucas subconsciously punched it and sent it flying, breaking a glass wall and rolling onto the grass.

Their family had never been afraid of this kind of thing, but although Claire, Laurel and Zoeys had already avoided it, they had no actual experience in fighting it, and Emily, the clever little girl, was still watching Lucas's expression.

Nina Hu, on the other hand, had an irreconcilable feud with the Sky Demon Zerg. She roared and rushed out of the gap, jumping onto its back - the ordinary Sky Demon Zerg were more lethal when flying, and the back was their blind spot for attack.

Lucas quickly glanced around the room, ran to the kitchen, found a few long triangular kitchen knives, and threw two to Emily.

The surface hardness of this carbon kitchen knife is sufficient, but it is a thin kitchen knife after all, and the structural strength of the blade is insufficient. Even if it is used against the weak points of an ordinary insect man, it is difficult to destroy its body structure.

And on the front of it, there are insect limbs, two crab claws and thin legs covered with spikes, which are dancing wildly and show its strongest attack power.

However, compared with the Lucas family, its speed and strength are not so impressive.

Nina pinned it to the ground, and Lucas and Emily, one on each side, easily caught its insect limbs and bent the edge of its shell in the opposite direction, breaking it off easily, causing it to howl in pain.

Lucas just happened to stab a knife into its open mouthparts, cut through the back wall of the mouth into the back of the brain, and cut it in half, instantly performing a worm-brain separation surgery on it.

The whole process happened and ended extremely quickly. Baichuan and her childhood friend Tao Yun were stunned as they watched from behind.

The saleswoman was even still sitting like a duck, with her mouth so wide open that her tongue could be seen, but her screams had automatically stopped.

"Have we got dinner?"

Claire told a joke that probably wasn't that bad.

0017

Maybe because he has been abroad for too long, Yang Sheng is used to doing everything by himself.

Or they have become accustomed to the extensive management model of residents outside the mysterious country.

Subconsciously, he wanted to dispose of the insect man's corpse himself, throwing it into the trash can or recycling it before throwing it into the trash can.

But Shirakawa stopped him.

"Wait a minute, cousin."

Yang Sheng: “?”

“Call the police first”

Before Yang Sheng could answer, the saleswoman stepped out from the hole.

"You still don't want it anymore..." She looked embarrassed, but not very persistent or affirmative.

"Yes," Tao Yun also interrupted and said, "This is a requirement for defense big data. The city defense system must collect data and intelligence on the locations where these insects appear, and adjust the defense force at any time."

The saleswoman obviously knew this, and it was probably something like that kind of notice that she had already

When it came to a company like theirs, she didn't say anything, but looked at Yang Sheng with hopeful eyes.

But she was destined to be disappointed. Yang Sheng said, "Okay then."

Shirakawa immediately called the police and described the incident and location in detail.

Before long, a pickup police car drove along the road in the villa area, and Tao Yun waved his arms to greet it on the side of the road.

Yang Sheng had just landed for half a day. When he strolled in the city and various residential areas, he hardly saw any private armed forces. There was no phenomenon of exoskeletons and weapons flooding the streets of America. However, he could see various standard exoskeletons with uniform paint patrolling or standing guard.
