After all, this room simply can't hold everything if we order them all...
Cheng Anlang couldn't help but glance in Zhang Mingyu's direction, his eyes sparkling.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He had been wary of Zhang Mingyu before, thinking that Zhang Mingyu was a two-faced old fox, but now he felt that Zhang Mingyu was alright, quite... quite good...
He shouldn't be so wary of Zhang Mingyu.
Zhang Mingyu then asked, "What does Da Hua eat?"
Cheng Anlang came to his senses: "It's not picky, seafood is enough, or... we can order some meat, any kind of meat."
Cheng Dahua: "Aww!"
This flower is really interesting...
Zhang Mingyu sighed inwardly and marked off a large section of the menu.
Cheng Anlang was greatly shocked: That's really...so generous.
After we ordered, the waiter brought out two large bowls of water, which smelled quite delicious.
Cheng Anlang picked it up and took a sip. It was a bit bitter and not very tasty.
The waiter exclaimed in surprise, "Sir, this is..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Mingyu also picked up his glass and took a sip.
waiter:"……"
Cheng Anlang looked up in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Mingyu glanced at the waiter.
The waiter discreetly placed the hand towel down, put the dessert on the plate, and smiled, saying, "It's nothing, just a small appetizer before the meal. Please enjoy."
After saying that, he naturally took the two bowls of water away.
Cheng Anlang couldn't understand: Why was the water taken away again? Was this water only meant for one sip? And why was it served in such a large bowl?
Before he could figure it out, Zhang Mingyu interrupted him, saying, "So the medicine you're selling is Cheng Dahua's saliva."
“Ah? Right…” Cheng Anlang immediately forgot about the water: “Its saliva is very corrosive. If you hadn’t had a suitable container, I might have canceled the deal.”
Zhang Mingyu had already seen Cheng Dahua sneeze and spray the insect onto the ground, so there was no point in hiding it anymore. He might as well tell her everything and get some goodwill in return.
Zhang Mingyu nodded: "No wonder you told me that I couldn't take out a whole tank of medicine at once, so that's why."
“Hmm.” Cheng Anlang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, “Only the two of us know about this, and you shouldn’t…don’t tell anyone else.”
Zhang Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "I might have to tell Shen Rui and Yu Ya."
"Well, except for those two..."
After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Mingyu said, "I once watched your match with your classmate in the virtual battle room."
"Huh? Which one are you talking about?"
Cheng Anlang and his classmates in the combat room have competed in several matches, with wins and losses. He didn't ask Cheng Dahua to help him every time, and he mostly piloted the mechs himself. After each match, he would summarize the shortcomings in the battle. He felt that he was improving rapidly and that he would be able to participate in the mech ranking competition to earn points soon.
Zhang Mingyu: "Let's start with the first match."
Cheng Anlang suddenly realized: "So you were the one behind Yu Ya back then."
Zhang Mingyu pushed the dessert towards the other side: "Did you suddenly launch a comeback at the last minute because of Da Hua?"
They noticed it so quickly.
Cheng Anlang nodded. Zhang Mingyu had already seen Cheng Dahua's abilities, so there was nothing he couldn't say: "Yes, I was with Dahua back then, otherwise I would have lost."
Cheng Anlang scratched his head. He was actually a little ashamed, especially in front of Zhang Mingyu. He was able to do those operations with the help of Cheng Dahua, while Zhang Mingyu could pilot a low-end mecha and perform such fancy operations all by himself. It's true that comparison is the thief of joy. His training was still not enough, and he needed to increase the intensity of his practice.
Zhang Mingyu said softly, "You don't need to underestimate yourself. It's already quite impressive that you can perform such operations after only a few days of practice. With more practice and more battles with others, you will become more and more proficient."
Cheng Anlang's ears were a little red.
Zhang Mingyu continued, "Having a co-pilot isn't a problem. No one has stipulated that there can't be two against one. Besides, there has never been a mutated beast as a co-pilot. If you and Da Hua can coordinate well, your mech ranking won't be low."
"Um..." Cheng Anlang's face was practically burning red. He hadn't expected Zhang Mingyu to comfort him. He lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "I know, thank... thank you..."
"Um."
The two fell silent for a brief moment.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Only the lizard kept jumping around on the table, teasing Cheng Dahua.
Cheng Anlang wasn't a talkative person and didn't know what to talk about with someone of Zhang Mingyu's caliber.
Zhang Mingyu mostly issues orders to his subordinates. Apart from chatting with Shen Rui and Yu Ya, he rarely chats with others.
Both of them were racking their brains trying to think of another topic to discuss.
Finally, Zhang Mingyu spoke first: "I didn't expect you to carry a laser knife with you."
"Ah, that's..."
Cheng Anlang was taken aback, then touched his lower back. "It's for self-defense."
