"Yes, it's different in the Outer Ring! Especially in our Old Oil Well District, the Biker Alliance advocates [freedom and morality]."
Bernice's words caused Lucy to chuckle as if she saw through everything.
“Well, even though that’s what we say, if we want to survive, we can’t do without [profit and business], right?
Take us, the Sons of Calydon, for example. We have employees to pay, vehicles to repair and replace, and there are many necessities that the city won't sell to us, which we also need to obtain with connections and money."
Lucy gave many examples at once, and it was obvious that she was really worried about the son of Calydon.
Think about the others besides him. As the leader, Caesar is straightforward and doesn't know how to intrigue. It can even be said that he is a bit naive.
Next is Bernice, whose every move seems a bit crazy. She often waves the flamethrower in her hand and accidentally causes a small fire from time to time.
There is also Paipai, who is a lazy person who loves to sleep, but he is very reliable when something really happens, but he also has some big problems.
All I can say is that this family would break up without Lucy...
"Zhe, I wasn't talking nonsense yesterday when I said the Overlords were targeting us. The Sons of Calydon have a better reputation than the Triumphant in recent years. It would be strange if they weren't jealous.
However, due to recent poor line conditions, our revenue has dropped significantly, and recruiting new employees has become a problem. Therefore, even for the sake of the future survival of the Sons of Calydon, we must seize the position of Overlord."
Lucy's words were powerful and full of absolute confidence, giving people a very reassuring feeling, which Zhe couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really reassuring to have Lucy around."
"Hmm... Really, don't say such weird things! Never mind, I'll just take it as a compliment.
In short, relying solely on brute force and enthusiasm will not accomplish anything great. I think Phaethon, who is also good at calculations, can understand this."
A blush crossed Lucy's face as she spoke, but it quickly turned into passionate enthusiasm.
"Just wait and see. It won't be long before I defeat Caesar and snatch the Son of Calydon from her. Ha~ha~ha~"
Such confident words, coupled with the laughter at the end as if he had already seen his future as the overlord.
Rangzhe couldn't help but believe it a little. Of course, he would believe it even more if no one sabotaged it.
"Lucy, you refused to tell me when I asked you just now. It turns out you lost the fight last night."
"No, it's not a loss. How can that be called a loss? It's just a temporary truce!
After all, preparing for the Hellfire Ride is the most important thing right now; becoming the leader can be put aside for now."
Faced with Bernice's sabotage, Lucy made an embarrassed excuse, and then changed the subject somewhat awkwardly.
"Zhe, let's get down to business. This morning you said that the current data on the outer ring cavity is insufficient, which will affect your performance in the cavity. So recently, we will go to the cavity with you to obtain data."
As Lucy finished speaking, Bernice beside her suddenly thought of it.
"Oh! By the way, I actually need your help with something too. The vehicle we're riding to Hellfire needs some modifications, and I need to get the necessary parts."
At this moment, Ling, who had helped Fairy set up the HDD, came over and told him that everything was running normally.
Fairy and Ies were both excited about coming to the Outer Rim, but the former's excitement differed slightly from the latter's...
Chapter 197: Zhe: Bernice! Don’t be so tight... relax a little!
Then, in order to prepare for the Hellfire Ride, the brother and sister unanimously decided to practice with the two empty tasks at hand.
One is to help Lucy collect data about the void, and the other is to help Bernice buy vehicle parts from the factory inside the void.
"Hello, are you ready to start work? Oh, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. This person doesn't have any work for you. Go and do your work."
Paipai came in front of the brother and sister, yawned sleepily, and waved his hand.
"Yes, Paipai. Don't be so polite. If you have any questions, just tell us. After all, we also need to adapt to the working environment in the outer ring."
"Oh, young man, I'm really touched by what you said~"
Current favorability target:
Name: Paipai
Gender: Female
Charm value: 92
Characteristics: Loli body, mature heart, actual age is hard to say, but definitely legal.
Hobbies: Sleeping and driving my favorite car - Big Steel Teeth!
Current state: Relieved, sleepy
Current favorability towards the owner: 50
Comment: The body seems to be developing and growing slowly due to some reasons, but maybe this is for the better?
Inner thoughts: What a polite young man~
…………
"Calling me a youngster? Isn't Paipai even younger than my sister?"
Although he had seen the introduction of the system, Zhe still felt it was a little weird, just like when you go out to visit relatives and find a child who is older than you but younger than you.
But the current Paipai is obviously not like this...
"Haha, young people are so sweet, it's really unbearable. Let me tell you in secret..."
While speaking, Paipai stood on tiptoe, covered her mouth with her hands, and whispered in Zhe's ear.
"In fact, this person has one of the longest driving experiences among the sons of Calydon~"
Paipai's favorability increased by 5 point, and the current favorability is 55 points. The emotional value gained was 200 points, and the current emotional value was 17100 points.
"Really? Paipai looks so cute, but she's actually so powerful."
"Oh my~ Young people are really good at talking. Even at this age, they still get shy when people call them cute or something."
Paipai waved his hands a little embarrassedly, but he seemed to appreciate Zhe's praise and even welcomed him to come over to chat or ask questions at any time.
After saying goodbye to Paipai, Zhe went to the town and found Bernice next to the bar.
Current favorability target:
Name: Bernice
Gender: Female
Charm value: 96
Characteristics: A very optimistic girl who likes playing with fire.
Hobbies: Making weird concoctions and drinking fuel-powered drinks
Current state: Happy, excited
Current favorability towards the owner: 50
Evaluation: A girl with a very healthy mental state, so healthy that it even makes others think she is abnormal.
Inner Thoughts: Zhe is finally here! Now all that special blend I carefully crafted won't go to waste.
"Zhe, you're here! Come sit down and have a glass of Bernice's special. Come on!"
The enthusiastic girl in front of him held up a glass with both hands while speaking, and the bottom was filled with orange-yellow liquid.
Zhe looked at the drink that was right in front of him, took it and smelled it. It didn't taste like alcohol, and it seemed quite good.
"This is?"
"I made this drink myself! I'm the bartender of the Sons of Calydon. Whether it's for people or cars, everything I drink is made by me!
This big steel tooth is really powerful, it can drink 200L of Bernice Special in one breath."
Bernice proudly puffed out the fruit on her chest and pointed to the big truck next to her, which was Paipai's vehicle, the Big Steel Teeth.
"Well, people and cars are still different..."
While speaking, Zhe looked at the drink in the cup. It didn't smell like gasoline, and Bernice shook her head.
"There's no difference. Both the driver and the vehicle traveling long distances need to maintain sufficient energy.
This cup is specially prepared for you! Come on, drink it, and you will be full of energy when you go on your journey later! "
"Why does this sound weird?"
Zhe muttered something under his breath, but still drank all the liquid in the cup.
"How is it? Is it delicious? Are you feeling energetic now?"
"Ahem, it's true... but it seems a little too filling! Why is it so spicy?!"
Zhe couldn't help coughing a few times, which was caused by choking, but Bernice explained the seasonings added with an innocent smile.
"Chili, mustard and turmeric! Caesar said you are a guest from the city, so let me treat you well and give you a taste of our style!
Caesar also said this when Lucy came. I tried many recipes at that time, and Caesar was most satisfied with this one. Oh, no... When Lucy came, Caesar seemed to say that he wanted to let her "taste our strength."
After hearing this, Zena couldn't help but understand that this was a prank on Lucy, and it ended up hurting him.
"Sorry, sorry, I'll make you another one. It's also my special blend, but it's definitely going to be delicious this time!"
As Bernice spoke, she bent down with her hands clasped together, and the restraints on her chest were tightened, and it seemed that she could no longer restrain Shuoguo.
Faced with such enthusiasm, Zhe couldn't refuse. When he nodded in agreement, Bernice immediately jumped up with joy.
"Okay! Zhe, wait a moment, I'll go make it!"
As she spoke, she turned and walked up the stairs, ready to go back to the bar to prepare drinks, but her rashness caused her to suddenly slip halfway through.
"Huh? Ah!"
"Oops!"
Zhe reacted immediately upon seeing this and stepped forward to catch her, but Bernice herself reacted just as quickly.
As she fell backwards, she immediately reached out to hold on to a step, preparing to fall down and then stand firm, but she bumped into Zhe.
Two fleshy legs bound by black stockings were placed on his shoulders. Zhe originally wanted to hold Bernice's hands, but he could only grab both sides of her soft waist.
"Hmm! Wait a minute, that place will...haha...very itchy! Hahaha!"
"Hey! Don't move! You'll..."
Before Zhe could finish his words, Bernice's delicate body began to tremble because of her ticklishness, and her arms that were used to support herself instantly lost their strength.
The entire body's weight was placed on Zhe's shoulders at once. Fortunately, he had been strengthened now, otherwise, in the past, the result would have been that both of them would have fallen to the ground together.
……(delete)
A long time later, next to the bar.
After some trouble, Zhe finally put Bernice down and sat down with some difficulty, rubbing his cheek with one hand.
It’s not because I’m tired, but because my face was pinched and it was very uncomfortable, which caused some part of my body to feel uncomfortable now.
Chapter 198 Bernice: Please! Zhe, I will do anything...
"I'm sorry, Zhe, it's all my fault for being careless..."
Bernice was holding a brand new drink in her hand, and a rare shy look appeared on her slightly red face. She didn't even dare to look directly at Zhe.
Instead, she subconsciously looked towards the place that was just before her eyes, even touching the tip of her nose...
When she thought of the scene that had just happened, her knees subconsciously came together, and her two fleshy legs in over-the-knee black leather socks rubbed against each other.
Such a shy look can't help but make people imagine a lot.
"Ahem, it's okay. After all, you didn't do it on purpose."
While speaking, Zhe touched his slightly sore nose. He had just been sitting there for a while and it was very uncomfortable. He could even vaguely smell the sea.
"Well, I'm glad you don't mind. Thank you for your help just now. This is the special blend we promised you. It's definitely delicious. Come and try it!"
While talking, Bernice handed the cup to Zhe in a flattering manner, even with an attitude of "I'll feed you".
"Oh, okay, I can do it myself."
Constrained by the other party's enthusiasm, Zhe could only take the cup from the other party, look at the liquid in it, and take a tentative sip.
