Chapter 361 Get the gold bars!

After hearing Reis say that, Said had a feeling that Reis was up to something, so he immediately replied that they were broke at the dam site and wanted his help? That was impossible.

After hearing Said's words, Reis smiled awkwardly and muttered to himself, "I gave Said a lot of supplies before, so why is he only able to eat his fill now?"

Reese: Could it be that I was too good at management before? It took so many resources for an ordinary person like Said to be able to eat his fill. Said doesn't seem like the kind of person who would hoard things. It seems that I'll have to ask Yousef for some people in the future.

"Haha, it's nothing, I was just asking casually. I was planning to take some people to the space base to find an opportunity to decipher this brick after I've finished rebuilding the castle."

Said: Look, look, this is my Said's super sixth sense, okay? I can now predict what Reis is going to say. You think you can just go and die? I'm not as stupid as you. Do you think you can get out of the space base?

"Then I wish you success. Um...where's the gold bar?"

Said was too lazy to say anything more to Resdo. After all, he didn't want to waste his time talking to him about such pointless things. He would have preferred to take his brothers to the fields to farm.

"Hehe, it seems you're not interested, Brother Said. But that's alright, after all, your priority right now is to develop and expand Dam Zero. I've already had the gold bars prepared. Just go out with this soldier to get them later. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to tell me!"

Seeing that Said was unwilling to continue arguing with him, Reis smiled and had the soldier take Said out. He didn't expect that Said had been doing so poorly for so long, but this could only mean that Reis was too outstanding.

"By the way, Said, if you catch three guys sneaking around stealing bird eggs at your Zero Dam, remember to bring them to me after you're done. I'm going to blow them to bits!"

Just as Said was about to leave, Reis added from inside, noting that since he had strengthened the security measures in Longbow Valley earlier that day, the three of them hadn't committed any crimes.

This made Reiss begin to suspect that these three people might be from their Longbow Valley. If so, the search would be much more difficult. Hopefully, they had gone somewhere else to steal bird eggs. If Said saw them, Reiss didn't think anyone could escape from Said's hands.

"Okay, I understand. I'll keep an eye out for that for you."

Said nodded in agreement. Fortunately, Roy and his gang seemed to have stopped committing crimes today. Otherwise, if they had really been caught... As far as Reiss was concerned, it would have been impressive if they had even managed to leave Longbow Valley alive.

“Let’s go, Mr. Said, I’ll take you to get that box of gold bars.”

After Sayed came out, the three of them continued to follow the soldier Asara to the door of a room on the first floor with a coded password. After the soldier entered the password and opened the door, the three of them went inside and saw a safe.

"Lord Sayd, this is the box of gold bars. I'll have someone help carry it to your car right now."

Saeed immediately stopped the soldier who was about to call for reinforcements, saying that the three of them were enough to carry the box of gold bars away.

"Do you really not need any help, Lord Said? This... this box of gold bars is actually quite heavy. It took four soldiers to carry it into this room yesterday."

Saeed waved his hand confidently, indicating that the two people he brought were both elites, and the three of them were enough.

Upon hearing this, Abel straightened his chest. Although he hadn't carried a shield in a long time, since Commander Said trusted him so much, he certainly couldn't let Commander Said down.

As for the nameless man on the side, he couldn't be happier that someone help them carry the box of gold bars onto the car. Why ask him to do something that can be done by someone else? He leaned close to Said's ear and said:

"What are you doing? They already said they'd put it in the car for us, why are you still making excuses? Do you think the three of us can easily carry this box of gold away?"

After listening to the nameless man's words, Said pondered for a moment, but adhering to the principle of not troubling others, he still said:

"Don't other people have their own things to do? It's just moving some gold, right? Look how lazy you are. I'm punishing you by making you go back and do today's and tomorrow's math homework, understand? Come on, get to work."

After saying that, Sayed called to Abel to work together to lift the box of gold bars.

With the two of them working together, the box full of gold bars was barely lifted a little. Seeing this, Wuming sighed deeply and then joined in the moving.

"I... Oh my god, Commander Said, I... I feel like you've called for someone missing. Are the three of us really that powerful?"

With the combined efforts of the three, they managed to lift the box of gold bars and slowly walk outside. Abel, whose face was flushed from holding it in, couldn't help but complain to Said.

"I... I thought we were three grown men, how could we not handle this box of gold bars? I... I never imagined it would be so heavy. The bag of gold bars that soldier brought last time wasn't this heavy either."

Because Saeed was wearing a mask, it was impossible to see if he was also flushed red like Abel, but it was easy to tell from his tone that Saeed seemed to be having some regrets.

"Ha, you like to show off, and you even want me to suffer with you. Do you think I'll complain to Sofia when I get back and make you write more? You, the leader of this dam, are truly speechless."

Although Wuming's face wasn't as flushed as Abel's, his trembling legs indicated that he was about to reach his limit. After moving around for a while, the three of them finally managed to put the box of gold bars into the car.

Mid-Autumn Festival Special (1)

"Xiao Hao! Leave me a bite of the red bean paste mooncake! I don't like the mixed nuts mooncake!"

Roy ran to Zhang Hao in tears and successfully snatched the last bite of the red bean paste mooncake. He had just tasted a five-nut mooncake at Weilong's place and was completely dumbfounded. What was this thing?

"Roy, why are you still fighting with Xiao Hao for mooncakes? I have some fruit here, do you want some?"

Shenlan also came over and handed Roy a fruit-flavored mooncake.

"No, no, your tastes are all so weird! How come there are so many strange flavors for a single mooncake? The red bean paste flavor that Xiaohao had before was the best. By the way, do you have any more?"

When Wei Long got up this morning, he saw a huge cardboard box at the entrance of the Special Operations Department. When he opened it, he found out that it contained Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes and some other food that Shen Lan had asked the higher-ups for.

"Oh my, I didn't expect it to be Mid-Autumn Festival already. It's been so long since we've been back. We were even given a holiday at this time last year."

Mai Xiaowen lay lazily on the sofa, looking at the flowers and mooncakes in front of her, and couldn't help but complain.

"There's nothing we can do. There weren't as many things happening last year as there are this year. You know, any one of these things that happened this year is bigger than all of last year's events combined. You should just hope that we can go back and rest during the New Year. We can take Xiaohao back to eat something delicious."

Wei Long, holding the unfinished five-nut mooncake, said, "This mooncake isn't as good as the ones I buy back home. I'll give it to Terry later; he doesn't really have a sense of taste anyway."

"What?! There's even wine! Hahaha, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! We have to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival!"

After finishing his mooncake, Uluru went into the large box and started rummaging through it to see if there was anything else inside. He thought he had just smelled a faint scent of alcohol inside.

Unexpectedly, after searching for a while, he actually found a large bottle filled with wine.

"This smells like Osmanthus Wine. Did the people upstairs buy everything this time? Shenlan, what did you tell them? They delivered it so punctually?"

Mai Xiaowen asked Shen Lan curiously, and Shen Lan replied:

"It's alright. I asked him to buy me all the things that people in China eat for the Mid-Autumn Festival so I can try them out. After all, there are three of you Chinese here, so it's a good opportunity for everyone to celebrate together."

Wow, it smells so good! By the way, can I drink it now?

Uluru was practically drooling over the bottle of wine, and Deep Blue, seeing this, took the bottle from him with a dark expression and said:

"No, we'll each have a little of this wine when we eat. If you open it now, it'll probably all end up in your stomach. I'll keep this bottle for now and let you try it at lunchtime."

Uluru: No!!! (My powerlessness became my downfall)

"By the way, Zoya and Luna, what flavors did you eat? They look pretty good."

Seeing that Zoya and Luna were also sitting on the sofa eating heartily, Roy went over to them again, drawn by the aroma.

"Get out of my way! I don't even have enough to eat myself. Go look in the box yourself. This one I'm eating looks like a snow skin mooncake with chocolate inside. It's delicious!"

When Zoya saw Roy coming over, she raised her fist and threatened him. She wasn't as good-tempered as Xiao Hao. How dare he come here to steal her food? She thought Roy had gotten too cocky lately because he hadn't been taught a lesson.

"Mine is black sesame, Xiao Hao gave it to me, and it really tastes great."

Luna quickly finished the black sesame mooncake in her hand and ran over to find Zhang Hao to see if there was anything else that tasted good.

"Hey Terry, finished practicing? Come on, this is a five-nut mooncake that I specially saved for you, have a taste."

After waiting for half a day, Wei Long's eyes lit up when he saw Terry. "Hey, we've finally got Terry here! Let's leave this five-nut mooncake entirely to Terry."

"Oh! Weilong, aren't you going to eat some? Thank you so much, you're so kind. I'll try some... It's really good! Does it have walnuts and peanuts in it? It's really good."

Zhang Hao/Mai Xiaowen: Huh? Really good? Looks like Terry will be able to solve the problem of those flavors that nobody wants to eat.

"Hey? Xiao Hao, come take a look. This... is it a crab?"

At this moment, Luna, who was searching inside the box, curiously called Zhang Hao over. She then took out a box of crabs from it. When she opened it, she was relieved to find that they were all alive, otherwise she would have had to throw them away.

"Xiao Hao, do you still eat crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

At this moment, our Special Operations Department's head chef, Deep Blue, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, took the box of crabs from Luna's hands, and said that he would take care of them.

"Luna, you should let me handle these crabs first. These people are really something, how could they put crabs in here like this? What if they die? I'd better wash them and put them in the steamer quickly."

After surveying his territory, Wei Long spotted Red Wolf sitting silently in a corner, holding a mooncake.

"Hey, what are you doing? Staring at a mooncake like that. Tell me, is it so delicious it's making you cry?"

Seeing that Red Wolf was still sitting there motionless, Wei Long walked over curiously. What delicious mooncakes these must be! They've made people dizzy from eating them!

"I didn't expect that the mooncakes you're eating would be sweet?"

After Wei Long walked past, Red Wolf spoke softly, and it was easy to tell from his tone that he seemed to be lost in confusion.

"Huh? Uh... So you ate a pork floss mooncake? But you don't have to be like this, do you? I've had pork floss mooncakes before, they're alright, okay? Don't be so picky about food."

Wei Long thought that this was Red Wolf's first time eating a meat floss mooncake, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "So what? At least you can eat it."

"Pork floss? If it really is pork floss, that would be great. Take a closer look and see what flavor it is."

Red Wolf, as if his soul had left his body, raised the mooncake in his hand for Wei Long to see. After looking at it, Wei Long fell into an unusual silence, and after a long while, he said:

"This...who would have thought you could eat a mooncake with ham filling? You're really amazing."

Mid-Autumn Festival Special (2)

Wei Long looked somewhat awkwardly at the ham mooncake in Red Wolf's hand. This... although it might seem a bit unexpected, he did seem to have heard of this flavor before when he was in China.

"Hmm? Red Wolf, what's wrong? Is this mooncake not good? Do you want me to help you finish it?"

At this moment, Terry, who had just finished dealing with the five-nut mooncake on Wei Long's side, also saw Red Wolf looking troubled and immediately came over to ask if Red Wolf needed his help.

Terry: Hmm, that five-nut mooncake was delicious. It's a flavor I've never had before. I wonder how the one Red Wolf has tastes? It looks like it has ham inside. It looks quite tempting too.

"Oh? Terry, do you want some? Actually, this mooncake tastes pretty good, it's just... I don't really like the taste."

Red Wolf, seeing Terry's eager expression, pointed to the ham mooncake in his hand and looked at Terry uncertainly.

After seeing Terry nod, Red Wolf handed the remaining half of the ham mooncake to Terry.

Under the watchful eyes of Weilong and Red Wolf, Terry naturally swallowed the half mooncake whole in one bite, and after tasting it, he gave it a very high rating.

"Mmm, delicious, delicious! The ham is so fragrant! This savory mooncake has a unique flavor too. Weilong, the food in China is really quite good. If I have the chance, I definitely want to go to China and try all the local delicacies."

After hearing this, Wei Long happily agreed that it was no problem. He said that if Terry went to China, he could just give him a call and he would take him to China to eat all the local delicacies.

"You're all full from eating mooncakes, aren't you? Lunch is coming soon, so stop eating snacks."

Shenlan came out after finishing with the hairy crabs and reminded them. Seeing that Luna and Zoya were about to eat the mooncakes, Shenlan quickly stopped them, saying that they shouldn't get full from eating these mooncakes now, because she had prepared a lot of delicious food for them later.

"You guys should save some for later, so Xiao Hao can take a few to his friends to try."

After listening to Shen Lan's words, Zhang Hao nodded. Indeed, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. After dinner, he would give some mooncakes to Uncle Said and Zero to try.

"Oh?! Going to Seid's place? Xiao Hao, take me with you this afternoon. I can also go to Seid's place to check out the bird nests and scout out the locations early. Next time, I can bring Wei Long, who has a big appetite, to eat with me."

"Oh? Roy, are you coming with me? I'll be going to the Tower of Babel, you know. You won't be able to get in then."

Seeing Roy's eager expression and Wei Long's arrival after hearing the news, Zhang Hao reminded him that he wasn't just going to Dam Zero. If he went to the Tower of Babel, would they just stand outside and wait?

"What?! Then I'm even more determined to go! Bakshi is one of the places we need to inspect. Xiao Hao, you can go in by yourself, and the rest of us can look for bird nests outside."

After listening to Roy's words, Zhang Hao nodded helplessly. This... is this really okay? You three are really going all out to fight those Asara soldiers for the bird's nest.

"Alright, the hairy crabs are almost steamed. Everyone, come wash your hands and eat."

At this moment, Shenlan began to bring the dishes out of the kitchen one by one and started to call everyone to start eating.

"Wuhu, good food! Wow, Shenlan, did you prepare so much delicious food today? There will be hairy crabs later, I'm going to eat my fill!"

When Wei Long saw the table full of dishes in front of him, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed in surprise. Instructor Shen Lan is really too versatile. He even made so many related delicacies for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It seems that Instructor Shen Lan has done his homework.

"Uluru, what are you looking for? Aren't you going to wash your hands before eating?"

Terry looked at Uluru with a puzzled expression as Uluru rummaged through the table. What was Uluru doing? Wasn't he going to eat? He had been restraining himself for a long time in preparation for this meal, just so he could indulge himself today.

Terry: I usually let Wei Long and Roy have their way, but today, with so much food, it's time to show those two self-important guys what a real fitness enthusiast's appetite looks like after Xiao Hao and the others have finished eating!

"Huh? Where did that bottle of osmanthus wine that Deep Blue put here go? Oh my, I'm so craving it! Terry, come help me find it! It smells so good! Hey Terry, where are you? Come help me!"

Watching Terry resolutely head to the kitchen to get a bowl and prepare rice, Uluru wore a betrayed expression. Ah! It hurts! It hurts so much! He never expected to be betrayed by his good brother Terry today.

"Why don't you go get your bowl and eat first? If nothing unexpected happens, that bottle of wine should be with Shen Lan. If you want it, you can go get it yourself."

Terry kindly reminded him that when he went to the kitchen to get a plate, he seemed to have seen a bottle next to Deep Blue. Now that he thought about it, that must be the osmanthus wine that Uluru had been longing for.

"Well... never mind then. I wasn't really that keen on drinking it anyway. I'll go eat first."

Uluru's face stiffened upon hearing this. It seemed that his idea of ​​tasting the osmanthus wine beforehand was completely thwarted. He should just go eat first.

After everyone was seated at the table, Shenlan took her drink and osmanthus wine and sat down. Under Uluru's expectant expression, Shenlan shook her head helplessly and handed over the bottle of osmanthus wine.

"Drink a little less, so everyone can have a taste. Xiao Hao, you're not an adult yet, so you should just drink the beverage."

After Shen Lan finished speaking, he handed the drink in his other hand to Zhang Hao. Then, after everyone's glasses were filled, everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together in celebration.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
