Returning to the land of the Eastern Continent, even if just for a minute, brings a sense of familiarity to Qing Chen.
Even when facing the stern old man, he found him to appear kinder than usual.
Qing Chen looked at the old man and asked, "How does it feel to be back in action?"
The old man thought seriously and said, "Nobody's mentioned paying me a salary yet — forget about any stock options, but a salary is necessary."
Qing Chen couldn't help but laugh; this old man was truly treating himself like an employee.
Silence fell between them once again.
Ke Rouli asked considerately from the side, "Are you used to the food outside?"
Qing Chen replied, "Not really, often it's steak and burgers, but they're not as good as a simple plate of shredded potatoes from back home."
Ke Rouli asked again, "Is there any danger now?"
"Yes, I'm working on resolving it, and time is of the essence," Qing Chen answered.
