Chapter 230 A Day on Earth
After letting Betsy get used to the sight of huge crowds of people on Earth, Hao Ren began to lead a group of abnormal creatures around the shopping mall. If you think about it carefully, this seems to be the first time he has brought so many people out to buy things. Before, he only occasionally accompanied Vivian to buy groceries near his home, or accompanied Lily to the supermarket to buy food. Most of the time, this group of unusual people Living things are all busy at home.
Anyway, Hao Ren thought it would be quite... interesting to lead this group of people out now.
Except for the occasional funny behavior when she turned into a siren, Nangong Wuyue was an ordinary young girl most of the time. She was more ordinary and normal than others, so she was quickly attracted by the people selling handicrafts passing by. The shops with small decorations attracted my attention, so I turned my face and ran to browse by myself. Hao Ren led others who were not interested in such things to continue walking. Betsy couldn't help but look around, and sighed to Hao Ren from time to time: "Hey, look at there are so many people here, if a Pyroblast goes over..." "Look at the automatic up and down ladder over there, if there is one at the exit Blizzard..." "Hey! An acid explosion trap would be awesome in that place!"
Hao Ren broke into a cold sweat while listening: "Why do you always have such crazy thoughts?"
"No way, it's an occupational disease," Betsy scratched her hair. "I usually make the same deductions when I walk on the streets of my hometown. Where is a good place to put traps, where is a good place to put magic, and what things can look like explosions. Treasure chest... I have been a mercenary for a long time."
Hao Ren wiped cold sweat, thinking that no matter how long the other mercenaries stayed, they might not be as neurotic as this girl!
The group studied the map in the mall and decided to pick out clothes for Yzaks first. They headed towards a branded men's clothing store, and everyone on the way gave way: Yzaks was stuck on the ground like a horror totem, and there was no man's land within a radius of several meters. Although it was embarrassing, there was an advantage, that is, no matter what No matter how many people are around, it’s never too crowded. It's just that people outside the circle secretly take pictures with their mobile phones and post them on Weibo, which makes people feel helpless: A picture like Yzaks' without any explanation is worth more than 300 reposts on the Internet...
Finally, Hao Ren led Yzaks into the seemingly large-scale brand store and found the shopping guide closest to him: "Excuse me, help the guy next to me choose a jacket."
The little shopping guide girl was packing clothes hangers with her back on her back. She turned around after hearing this and said subconsciously: "Welcome, please..."
Then she raised her head and looked at Yzaks who didn't move.
Hao Ren slapped his forehead helplessly: This is the situation again. He waved his hand in front of the little shopping guide girl: "What, help him choose a coat. Don't judge people by their appearance. Although this guy looks a bit fierce, he is actually a good person..."
Fortunately, the little shopping guide girl had a good psychological quality. She was stunned for a moment and did not call the police or turn around to take money from the cashier. She just looked at Yzaks' figure dully: "I'm afraid this... such a large size of clothes is not suitable." Is it easy to find?"
"Not so tall?"
"...It's not that wide."
Hao Ren suddenly realized: Y'zaks' stalwart figure is both tall and strong. Among earthlings, tall men of 2.15 meters do exist. But not only is Y'zaks like 2.15 meters tall, his entire upper body is almost as strong. It's really hard to find a fierce man with an inverted triangle shape. Yzaks himself knew this, and he shrugged to Hao Ren: "So I told you that you don't need to worry about it. My figure can only be made to order, otherwise there is really nothing on earth that I can wear on my body except curtains. . I’d better go home and ‘fiddle with’ myself.”
Hao Ren knew that Yzaks was talking about using magic power to condense new clothes after returning, but this was obviously not what the big devil was good at. The clothes he was wearing now were created after two months of research after landing in England. It was as ugly as a labor camp uniform, and Hao Ren felt sorry for making the life of the top master among his tenants so inconvenient. So he shook his head and looked at the shopping guide with his last hope: "Try your best, I think any clothes you can find will be more suitable than what he is wearing now."
The little shopping guide girl had no choice. She felt that the 2.15-meter-tall inverted triangle man in front of her was really a customer she couldn't afford to offend, so she could only run to rummage through the cabinets and find the largest size clothes in the store. Si gestured on his body: "...This is already the largest size. I wore it on a plastic model a while ago as a signboard. We didn't even think it could be sold..."
This is a thick long sweatshirt. If Lily gets into it, it can be used as a doghouse. But when compared to Yzaks, it looks like a waistcoat. The big devil shrank his shoulders in embarrassment: "I guess It's OK to put it on by force, but you need to hold your breath for a long time, and it may turn into a piece of cloth if you sneeze."
Hao Ren looked at the shopping guide expectantly: "Aren't there any larger sizes?"
The shopping guide grimaced: "To be honest, our curtains should be two inches short of this eldest brother's body - who in a normal clothing factory would design clothes of this type if not to apply for a world record? Gao is the second best. Mainly because of the width..."
Hao Ren was overjoyed. It was not easy for Yzaks' figure to force a trained professional shopping guide to say these words. Moreover, the shopping guide also made some suggestions: "I suggest you guys stop looking here. The whole mall won't have such large-sized clothes. It's best to make them custom-made."
Hao Ren originally planned to buy a pair of trousers for Yzaks, but now he had no choice but to give up after seeing the situation: he couldn't even buy trousers for a top, let alone hope for it. The former could be accepted if it was tighter, but the latter really didn't want it. Law shrinks. A sentence can be applied to Yzaks' waist: If his pants were thrown on the ground and no one was wearing them, you wouldn't know what they were for...
A group of people left the store disappointed. Before leaving, Lily made a very serious statement to the shopping guide: "Your windows are too small - my curtains will fit just right around Yizhaks!"
Vivian quickly dragged Lily out and said, "Why are you really arguing with others about this?"
"Forget it, let's order two sets of clothes for you," Hao Ren glanced at Yzaks apologetically, "When you go out to 'work', you can wear this invulnerable combat suit on Earth. It’s best to wear something that doesn’t attract attention to the event. Let’s go shopping for Vivian next?”
Lily wasn't very interested when she heard this. In fact, she had always wanted to run around from the beginning - as a dog breed nicknamed "Let Me Go", you can't expect her not to run around when shopping with others. So at this time she started to jump up and down: "I'm bored! I'm going to go upstairs to look at the bags..."
Betsy joined in the fun: "Bag? Is it for travel or adventure?"
Lily took the time to instill wrong knowledge into Betsy: "You will know when you go there, it is not used to hold things, it is used to carry it~~"
As soon as Hao Ren saw this situation, he knew he couldn't stop Lily, so he waved to them: "Okay, okay, you go ahead, don't run around, meet at the exit at noon."
Then he looked at the big demon again: "Yzaks, help keep an eye on them - especially Betsy. I remember there is a decorative mechanical dinosaur upstairs. Betsy can easily throw a fireball at it. .”
The group of people split up like this, and in the end only Vivian was left beside Hao Ren. The latter had been curious since she left the house: "What are you going to buy me?"
Hao Ren pointed at Vivian: "If nothing else, let me change you into new clothes first, and then give you a mobile phone."
Vivian is now wearing an old-fashioned winter dress. In fact, most of her clothes are old-fashioned, and some of them can even be called shabby. Although the vampire girl's own beautiful appearance could make up for the shortcomings in her clothes, Hao Ren didn't think so. He felt that Vivian should dress more beautifully and look more like a noble and decent vampire noble in line with the legend. He didn't know when this idea came up, but he planned to realize it today. As for the mobile phone, it was an impromptu decision when I went out. Everyone in the family had mobile phones. Even Yzaks didn't know when he bought one for himself, but Vivian didn't. This was not a big deal for an "outlier". It was such a big deal, but Hao Ren still decided to give Vivian such a gift.
Putting practicality aside (for these supermen, a mobile phone has limited functions), Hao Ren just hopes that Vivian, who is still living the simplest and shabby life at home, can live a better life like others. Seeing some details of Vivian's life, he always felt very uncomfortable, and now he can't bear it.
The vampire girl showed a rather surprised expression when she heard Hao Ren's plan. After being surprised, she became cautious and at a loss: "I... I'm pretty good like this now. I'm quite satisfied living here with you..."
"You're welcome," Hao Ren smiled, "I'll just give you a gift. You don't have a mobile phone yet, right? At least within the scope of the earth, it's convenient to have this thing to keep in touch."
"I...had one before," Vivian smiled sheepishly. "I was lucky enough to save a little money, so I bought a cheap mobile phone out of curiosity, but later I couldn't pay the phone bill and it was useless for a long time. , it’s still in my suitcase now, it probably can’t be turned on.”
Vivian seemed at a loss about this unexpected surprise, but she finally did not reject Hao Ren's kindness, but followed him with a look of anticipation and vague excitement.
When a group of people were walking between several shops, a woman behind a counter somewhere raised her head and glanced at them thoughtfully. She was a woman with an indifferent expression and a scar on her face near the bridge of her nose. .
It stands to reason that shopping malls like this have certain requirements for the appearance of shopping guides. At least a person with a scar on her face will have a hard time finding a job here, especially since her expression has a kind of indifference that is repulsive. But this woman was sitting behind the counter, and neither her smiling colleagues nor the picky customers around her seemed to be paying attention.
The woman with the scar on her face followed Hao Ren and Vivian with her eyes for a long time. Until they disappeared into a certain shop, she sat down expressionlessly and continued to sit there like a transparent person. daze.
