Chapter 305: Gift Giving, New Skills Acquired
Chapter 305: When giving gifts, get a new skill√
Zhang Daye trimmed his beard, stuffed a large ball of stuffing into his clothes to make him look like he had a big belly, tried to walk two steps, and asked, "How is it?"
"Not bad, almost one-tenth of my level." Reindeer Ye Yan said shamelessly.
"Thank you." Zhang Daye put on the big bag, "Okay, lie down, it's time to test your physical strength."
Ye Yan didn't understand: "What?"
"Ride a reindeer."
"Reindeer are used to pull sleds, not to ride!"
"Don't be so rigid, you need to be innovative in performance art."
"Go away, if you really want to be innovative, reindeer riding Santa Claus to give gifts is innovative!"
"Forget it, let's go."
The snowflakes were still fluttering, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the deck of the Amber.
Zhang Daye and Ye Yan walked on it, leaving a series of footprints and a series of hoof prints - Ye Yan's reindeer costume was very realistic, even the reindeer's hooves were imitated.
Ye Yan observed the hoof prints he left behind for a while and felt very satisfied: "I'll ask those lazy monsters to sweep the snow later."
"Don't." Zhang Daye said: "It's also interesting to sweep the snow by yourself. Tom, Perona, Wendy and others may want to play in the snow."
Zhang Daye remembered that when he was a child, he lived in his hometown. He had a lot of fun sweeping snow on the roof every winter. Later, he went to high school and college in the city. It was not always possible to catch a heavy snow every winter vacation, and he hadn't experienced it for a while.
"Okay, let them finish it after everyone has had enough fun." Ye Yan didn't indulge those monsters who were as shameless as him.
The two talked in a low voice and soon went down the stairs into the living area in the cabin. The staircase was facing the corridor, and on both sides of the corridor were the rooms of everyone facing each other.
Ye Yan's room was on the left side of the staircase. One of the two rooms next to it was Zhang Daye and Tom, and the other was still empty. Brook lived opposite.
The two of them walked lightly. Ye Yan raised a Huang Yao Banner and asked Sui Feng Er Wu Hua to float in through the crack of the door. He confirmed that Brook was sleeping soundly on the bed, and then he gently opened the door.
Brook's room was not much different from before he moved in. There was no extra decoration. There was only a set of tea sets for drinking black tea on the small table by the window, a violin that had been with him for decades on the bedside table, and a cane sword leaning against the bed.
At this time, Brook was lying flat and sleeping soundly. Although he had no nose, there was still a snot bubble hanging above the hole.
Because there was no fireplace in everyone's room, Zhang Da simply said to hang socks on the head of the bed when he was popularizing science. Brook was very childish at first glance. He specially prepared a large sock that was one meter long and half a meter wide. It seemed that he was greedy for a bigger gift.
Zhang Da also smiled and took out a gift box from the cloth bag and put it in the sock. There was an exquisite violin in the box. Zhang Da didn't know whether it was good or not, but he knew it was very expensive.
After putting it away, the two left Brook's room. Next door was Shark Chili's room.
Similarly, Sui Feng Er was asked to explore the way first, and then Zhang Daye and Ye Yan opened the door and went in. Shark Chili's room was much more interesting than Brook's. He moved the wardrobe into the utility room and replaced it with two display cabinets with glass doors. Inside were various types of toothpaste and toothbrushes, each of which was carefully labeled with the effects and advantages and disadvantages of use.
Although he knew what Santa Claus was, Shark Chili still hung a sock like everyone else.
If you want to give Shark Chili a gift, the simplest answer is of course toothpaste and toothbrush, but Zhang Da also changed his mind temporarily and gave him a tape recorder and tape that he won in a lottery one year. Inside was the song "Jingle Bells" that they sang together today, which was recorded by the flag demon. I believe he will like it.
Walking along the corridor, next to Shark Chili is Rui Mengmeng's room.
Rui Mengmeng lives a frugal life. Although she is not short of money now, she has not bought too many ornaments for herself.
The most common decorations in her room are swords, including the bamboo sword she used for practice, the ordinary double-edged sword, the knight sword from the palace where Tom was a guard, and the broken sword from the battlefield of Camlan... all of which were swords she had used before.
Although she now has the dark alloy sword that suits her best, she still can't bear to throw away those swords and puts them in the room as decorations.
In fact, she also has a golden sword made by the Dragon Palace Kingdom. Because it is too valuable, she feels uneasy to put it in the room, so she has always asked Zhang Da to keep it.
In addition to the shelf for these swords, there is also a desk in the room with more than a dozen notebooks on it. They are all notes that Rui Mengmeng took down when she followed Tom to learn skills such as cooking and foreign languages. Rui Mengmeng always felt that she was not smart enough, so she worked extra hard when learning things.
This time, Zhang Da also decided to give Rui Mengmeng a set of dolls that can be changed into clothes, a very girly toy. Zhang Da also hopes that in addition to exercising and studying every day, she can also be a little better to herself like an ordinary girl.
Leaving Rui Mengmeng's room and walking forward, you will reach the end of the corridor, Perona's room. Zhang Da arranged the innermost room because he was worried that she would escape. Now he thinks it is unnecessary.
In fact, he just didn't know that Perona had tried to escape, but was caught by Ye Yan. However, Ye Yan never exposed her. Later, Perona gave up and gradually adapted to life on the Amber.
Perona's room was well decorated. There was a big pink princess bed with curtains and pumpkin-shaped pillows. Perona was sleeping on her side with the Kumasi doll she had customized in the Seven Waters.
There were also plush dolls of various sizes in the room, most of which were cute, and a few were dark.
In fact, Perona had proposed to decorate the entire Amber in the style of an ancient castle, but it was rejected after a vote.
Zhang Da had been to her room when Wendy and Xia Lulu were unconscious. There was not much change compared to that time, except that the number of dolls had increased.
Perona sneered at Zhang Da's statement about Santa Claus, but she still hung a black and white striped stocking at the head of the bed.
The gift Zhang Da prepared for her was a parasol in the shape of a little devil. She should like this style very much.
In fact, Zhang Da's first consideration was to give her a leave note, homework offset coupons, etc., but he thought it was too weird and gave up.
Opposite Perona's room is Wendy and Xia Lulu's room. Although she bought Xia Lulu a crib when she was in the Kingdom of Goa, she still sleeps in the same bed with Wendy most of the time.
Their situation is similar to that of Tom and Zhang Da, except that Tom's survival shows that he has a strong vitality, and Xia Lulu's survival shows that Wendy's sleeping posture is much better than Zhang Da's.
Wendy has not been here for a long time, and the room is not decorated much. Only through the bed and some ornaments can we tell that this is a girl's room. The two teddy bears, one large and one small, beside the bed were given to them by Perona when they first moved into this room. It seems that Perona really likes them.
Wendy and Xia Lulu are still looking forward to Christmas gifts. There are two socks, one large and one small, hanging at the head of the bed - Wendy's is ordinary black stockings, and Xia Lulu's... looks like a finger cut from a larger glove.
Zhang Da also put away the two gift boxes, one large and one small, and called Ye Yan to leave.
The one for Xia Lulu was a bow ribbon, the kind she usually likes to decorate her tail, which feels like a hairpin to her.
The one for Wendy was a dress, exactly the same as the one she wore when she first came. The dress was torn a lot in the battle, and Wendy washed it carefully and put it away. Whenever she missed her companions in the guild, she would take it out to look at it, and then cheer up and practice hard.
Zhang Daye was worried that Wendy would not adapt to the life here at the beginning, so he secretly asked Xia Lulu about it, and then ordered one in the Kingdom of Goa, and waited for this opportunity today to give it to her.
After leaving Wendy's room and walking towards the stairs, Artoria's room was next to it. This time, he didn't use the flag demon to explore the way. Zhang Daye felt that he would definitely be discovered whether he explored the way or not, so he simply skipped this step.
Zhang Daye thought for a second about how to end it if he was exposed by Artoria on the spot, so as not to be so embarrassed, and then took a deep breath and opened the door.
Zhang Da had only been to Altria's room when he moved from the tavern to the ship. After that, he would knock on the door when he wanted to find her again, but he never went in again.
The room was as simple as he remembered. Every time they were together, Altria would always say that she would give her the money and let her choose... but in the end, most of it went into her stomach.
So now the only decorations in the whole room were the stuffed bear Perona gave her and the two pots of green plants by the window.
In addition to the wardrobe and shoe rack, there was also a dressing table. Zhang Da had seen Altria sitting in front of the mirror braiding her hair. If he had to describe that scene, he could only say it was beautiful.
Now the beautiful Altria was lying quietly on the bed in a cute little lion pajamas, with the hair on her head playfully sticking out through the lion's head cover. I don't know what the principle was.
Zhang Da also bent down and took out a half-meter-high gift box from his pocket and gently placed it on the bedside. Seeing that Altria did not mean to sit up suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he stood up, he saw the hair on Altria's head move. 'My sister, is this hair of yours a bitch?'
Being stared at by Zhang Daye, Altria's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't open her eyes in the end.
Zhang Daye wisely chose to pretend that he didn't see it and didn't expose it, and turned away.
When the door was closed, a little lion crawled out of the bed, opened the gift box, and happily stuffed various snacks into his mouth one by one.
"Not exposed?" Ye Yan didn't follow in, but just waited at the door, because he didn't hear Zhang Daye and Altria talking, so he thought everything was going well.
Zhang Daye said helplessly: "It's exposed, but not completely exposed, so let's just treat it as nothing."
Zhang Daye thought about it, Altria didn't care much about clothes, accessories and other things, and the best gift to make her happy had to be delicious, but there was a biggest disadvantage of giving gifts like this - he bet Altria's gift wouldn't survive tonight.
"Okay, next is Tom's." Zhang Da also pushed the door of his room open a little, and looked out with Ye Yan. A Santa Claus head and a reindeer head looked very interesting in the crack of the door.
Tom was still wearing his noise-proof earmuffs, and there was no sign that the quilt had been opened. Zhang Da was relieved and gently put a small gift box into the socks hanging on Tom's nest.
After putting it away, I couldn't help but pat Tom's head, quietly left the room and closed the door. Like Tom, I put my hand in and bolted the door from the inside.
"Done!" Zhang Da also smiled happily. It's very satisfying to be able to leave some interesting memories for everyone.
However, Ye Yan looked at Zhang Daye with a funny look: "I understand the truth, but why do you lock yourself out?"
Zhang Da was also taking off his Santa Claus costume and was stunned when he heard Ye Yan's words: "...I've gone through the same process too many times and I'm used to it. Brother Yan, ask the flag demon to come in and open the door for me."
Ye Yan wondered: "Can't you just open the door like you locked it just now?"
"If I could do it, I wouldn't have let them leave the door open for Santa before." Zhang Da also said a little distressed, "This ability is unscientific. Sometimes the more you want to use it, the less you can use it, but the unconscious state It’s easy to use and I can’t control it…”
"Okay, okay." Ye Yan let the flag demon go in and opened the door, "Also, did you forget something?"
Ye Yan stretched out a hand and rubbed his thumb, index and middle fingers together, hinting wildly.
Zhang Da also understood instantly: "Is it your gift? I was wondering if I could save one by cooperating with you to distribute gifts? You don't believe in Santa Claus anyway."
"I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I want gifts!" Ye Yan pretended to be angry, and then he succeeded in a second and said with a playful smile:
"If it doesn't work out, we can still give it a discount! Besides, when I help you cover and move things on Christmas Eve, shouldn't I pay overtime pay? Triple salary is not too much for such an important holiday, right? You are so wise and powerful, Charming, handsome and righteous..."
"Stop, stop, stop..." Zhang Da also got goosebumps from what he said, and quickly took out the gift box, "I've prepared it for you, but I just didn't put it in the bag."
After all, they were all prepared in advance. Other people's gifts were put into pockets and hidden with Ye Yan in advance, so Ye Yan had to hide his share.
Ye Yan weighed the gift box and smiled happily: "I'll go back to the room to go to bed after sending you my best wishes."
Zhang Da also closed the door speechlessly and went to bed.
After a while, Zhang Da also suddenly woke up. He remembered that he went to everyone's room tonight without turning on the lights, but he could see everything!
Zhang Da also stretched out his hand, and he could even see the lines on his palm in the darkness: "Is this the watchman's night vision technique?"
