Chapter 212

But Li Pu didn't feel it was a regret.

Since he has the chance to visit in this life, Li Pu wouldn't mind going at all. After all, it's such a famous place; it would be a shame to miss it in both lives.

Moreover, this is a must-visit tourist destination in this area.

If you have time now, then go!

Filled with curiosity and a sense of novelty, Li Pu entered this amusement park, a place he had never been to in his previous life. Once inside, he was immediately struck by the sheer number of people.

That really is very characteristic of China!

People were packed together, shoulder to shoulder.

Alone? Want to move around freely?

What are you talking about?

This is what it means to be pushed around by someone!

Putting aside how well the games were played, the sheer number of people, so crowded and packed together, made Li Pu lose all interest in continuing. He finally managed to squeeze his way out of the crowd.

We managed to find a place that looked less crowded.

A pastry shop.

There are fewer people here, mainly because the prices are too high! Even a simple ice cream can cost several tens of dollars. So compared to other areas, there are far fewer people here.

For Li Pu, who is not short of money now, this is not a big deal.

Finding a less crowded place for now would be a good idea.

Li Pu ordered a vanilla ice cream and found a small corner to enjoy it slowly.

I just sat down for a short while.

"Wow, there are so many people here!"

"I wish I hadn't come here."

"What a huge loss!"

"Although it doesn't cost much, it feels like all you do here is see a sea of people and nothing else."

"You have to wait in line for half an hour to ride the pirate ship."

"Why are there so many people in China?"

Li Pu heard someone at the table next to him complaining.

Although he really wanted to agree, and even add a comment like "a characteristic of the Celestial Empire" if it fit, Li Pu quickly realized something: why did that voice sound so familiar?

Seem...

It sounds like I've heard it somewhere before.

'An acquaintance?' Li Pu tried hard to recall where he had heard such a voice before, since he didn't know many people in this world.

So if a voice sounds even slightly familiar, it's definitely someone you've crossed paths with before.

It would be awkward to say hello later.

'Hmm... Could it be one of those three "welfare girls"?' Li Pu subconsciously thought of those three. After all, among the people he knew, whose voices were familiar, and who were currently in Changkong City, there were only three "welfare girls."

Aside from the three of them, the others that Li Pu was familiar with were either waiting to come over on the Hyperion or busy searching for the seal.

It's impossible that they're still in the amusement park right now.

Li Pu planned to glance back briefly, just in case it really was one of those three "welfare girls".

Um...

Maybe I could compete with these three... no, forget it, there's no need to even think about it. These "welfare girls" probably have some connections with each other; they likely have their own circles.

You don't need too many, one or two will suffice.

If he finds them pleasing to the eye, Li Pu is still willing to have a contest with them.

Hmm... Anyway, I have money now.

Money talks!

Um!

"Yo~ long time..." Li Pu immediately turned around, intending to greet them first, and then... and then what? This greeting left both sides dumbfounded.

Li Pu said, "Why does this voice sound so familiar?"

So being the person beside you is Durandal!

Right!

That Silly Goose!

Silly Goose, Durandal.

Li Pu didn't draw Durandal in his previous life, but Li Pu knew quite a bit about Durandal's memes. For example, he was very familiar with things like the Silly Goose.

'How did I end up meeting Durandal here?'

Li Pu's heart sank.

'And Rita is still here?'

Rita? Of course Li Pu would recognize Rita. Li Pu through a Rita, and he'd been training her for a while.

Although people often call her "my wife" or "my wife" in the game, it's not like that in real life! Li Pu felt a little wary.

Theoretically speaking, he and Rita are on the same side.

But in reality, it's hard to say.

He remembered perfectly clearly how Durandal had taken him away without a word.

"Mr. Li Pu?"

Rita spoke, and she seemed quite surprised as well, saying, "You're actually here?"

"Li Pu?"

Durandal seemed quite surprised as well, scrutinizing Li Pu and saying, "The legendary Mother of Valkyries? No way, she looks like a grown man."

"Although she looks a bit effeminate."

"What do you mean by looking a bit effeminate?" Li Pu immediately retorted unhappily, "I don't look a bit effeminate."

"It's a girl," Rita nodded.

"I knew it." Durandal said with absolute certainty, as if she had discovered something. "I knew it! How could it be a man?"

"But Auntie looks really young."

She doesn't look like a mother at all! I can't believe her daughter is already so grown up.

Durandal.

Of course, she wouldn't say it out loud right away. How could she not know about Li Pu? She had heard about him before, and she'd even heard that her boss was pursuing her.

Now that I see it...

Hmm, it still feels a bit strange.

"What the hell! I'm not a girl!" Li Pu said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm a man! A real man!"

"Huh? How could that be!" Durandal said, equally stubborn, "How could the person that Archbishop Otto is pursuing be a man? Archbishop Otto isn't G-old."

"I don't care what kind of person he is!" Li Pu said fiercely, "But you, believe me or not, I'll sue you for defamation?"

"Say that again?!"

Seeing Li Pu's expression—like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and its fur standing on end— Durandal chose to remain silent. Although she wasn't afraid of Li Pu.

But seeing her like this, Durandal still didn't discuss these issues.

Even someone as straightforward as her found it strange.

Is Archbishop Otto's sexual orientation really okay? Although he's quite handsome, what's the deal with the Mother of Valkyries?

I had only heard about it before.

Now that I've met the real person, I feel like there are a lot of questions I can't explain.

"Oh, speaking of which," Li Pu said, slightly suppressing his anger, "How did you end up here?"

"Out for a trip!" Durandal answered again this time.

"Tourism?" Li Pu said sarcastically, "Otto? Tourism?"

I don't believe it!

Li Pu didn't think that Otto, that old capitalist, would give him a holiday, and although Durandal plausible, he glanced at Rita.

Li Pu still felt that this matter was not simple.

Durandal's answer reassured Rita somewhat.

Okay, while I was honest enough and genuinely treated it like a vacation, I managed to get away with it, right? But I still don't think Li Pu will believe me.

"Of course!" Durandal said, quite unsurprised. "And it's a team trip!"

"This is a rare occurrence."

"Lord Otto actually gave us a holiday."

"Them?" Li Pu frowned even more deeply and said, "Them? You mean you all? So it's not just you and Rita, but the entire Blade of Unending?"

"Of course, what do you think?" Durandal said with great pride, "As the captain of the Blade of Unending squad."

"How could I be someone who secretly takes a vacation alone without telling the team?"

"Even if it's Lord Otto giving me a day off alone."

"I also treat training like a vacation."

"Spended time with everyone."

"So that means," Li Pu said, tilting his head, "That your entire Blade of Unending squad came."

"Don't tell me this is a publicly funded trip?"

"Publicly funded?" Durandal seemed a bit bothered, arms crossed, but after a moment's thought, she said, "I don't think so. This should be paid leave."

"Although it was the place designated by Lord Otto, the plane tickets and everything else were already bought for him."

"We just need to come over."

"Of course!" Durandal added, "This! This is something that's not included in the Disni package. I came here on my own initiative."

"I feel like I'm missing out if I don't come here since I finally have a holiday."

"Indeed," Li Pu replied with a smile.

He had noticed that Rita's face was starting to change color, and it seemed that his guess was correct.

Li Pu echoed Durandal's sentiments, complaining, "It doesn't seem like it's even a holiday yet, but this place is already packed with people. It's unbearably crowded."

"I also felt it would be a waste not to come, but now that I've come, it feels like an even bigger waste."

"Yes, that's right." Durandal nodded and said, "So, you're on vacation too?"

"That's not right. I remember the Hyperion was on strategic duty."

"Just like you," Li Pu waved his hand and said, "Otto can give you a vacation, so it's not impossible for us to take turns resting."

"Besides, I lived in this city before I went to the Hyperion, and the first thing I wanted to do when I was on vacation was to come back here to play."

"Why not?"

"So you're a local?" Durandal's eyes gradually brightened as she said, "Then you must know what fun places there are to visit."

"Of course, of course," Li Pu nodded and said, "What else could I possibly know? If I don't know, who would?"

"Oh! That's great!" Durandal said as if she had found a savior. "I'm so overwhelmed by all those travel plans and I don't know what to do."

"And I've always heard that if you keep following these things, you won't see anything truly good."

"There's nothing good to eat either."
