Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 279

After all, the income from the tertiary sector is always significant, and countries with the capacity to develop this sector will certainly not let this opportunity slip away.

Jiaen could only sit obediently in AN94's lap and watch these older sisters cause trouble.

If these older women were this unruly, they probably wouldn't have survived more than three days in the White House...

Jia En thought to herself, though she wasn't sure they were tactical dolls.

AR15 ignored the two mischievous rats and quietly sat down on the sofa belonging to the AR team.

"M4, what's the plan?"

AR15 was trying to get more constructive advice from M4.

However.......

M4 tilted his head: "Plan? Isn't that just playing around? The commander said we shouldn't cause any trouble during this period, right?"

"Well......."

How can even their own captain be like this?

The dog chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, as long as we play freely, isn't that all that matters?"

"You know what, SOP! You always cause a lot of trouble every time you play it!"

RO tugged hard on the dog's ear.

“Last time, you took MDR’s computer and had it modified. You turned it into a microwave oven. Because of that, MDR cursed all night, and even the neighbor in the back alley came to complain!”

"a ha ha ha......"

The dog could only laugh awkwardly and took the opportunity to snuggle its head into RO's arms.

"You son of a bitch, bringing this up again! That's my limited edition collaboration! It even has my fan art printed on it, and you turned it into a microwave oven, and the part where my eyes are glows when it's heating up! What the hell is this?!"

The MDR suddenly braked, catching the alchemist off guard and causing him to crash into it. However, the MDR managed to regain its footing and was unharmed.

"Uh, sorry, I didn't consider that. I'll pay attention next time!"

"You'll do it again, won't you?!"

They almost started fighting again...

Jiaen increasingly felt like she had stumbled into a den of thieves. Although they all seemed to be Mr. Luo's good friends, none of them seemed as reliable as Mr. Luo.

Fortunately, AN94 held her the whole time; otherwise, whenever the girls made any big moves, Jia En would usually instinctively step back.

"Don't be afraid, you'll see this kind of scene often in the future..."

AN94 didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only tell her the truth.

After all, this kind of scene plays out almost every day; it seems like there's never been a moment of peace here since MDR came.

Or perhaps, there's no such thing as "quieting down" at all...

AR15 glanced at her PayPal account on her phone again; the balance showed a figure of 100,000, which gave her a headache.

Now, all five cards are with her. I don't know why the commander thinks she's capable of managing the family's finances.

I reckon these cards won't be in her hands anymore in a little while...

We can only pin our hopes on others and not spend too much money too quickly, otherwise we won't be able to explain ourselves to the commander.

How will they spend their vacation without their commander?

"Closed temporarily during the warmer weather, Commander, you're really something..."

She muttered something to herself, then smiled and stuffed her phone back into her pocket.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

......

"Oops, I bought the wrong ticket! This is for Chenchuan!"

"I'm speechless. How did you even get to New York last time? Did you end up in Australia?"

"Uh, it's not that bad..."

403 Taxi

This is the first time, in a true sense, that I have time alone with Yingque. The past... shouldn't count.

Logically, such a special trip should be planned to be as perfect as possible throughout, but it started off like this, from the moment Yingque bought the wrong ticket, and things didn't seem so perfect anymore, I guess...

"I'm really tired this time, oh my god..."

Luo Fan plopped down in a chair. This was their second flight. After arriving in Chenchuan, they would take a second flight to Longcheng in Guangyou, which was their final destination.

"Oops, that was a mistake. I wasn't paying attention; I was only thinking about buying tickets, haha..."

Yingque seemed much more energetic than Luofan, probably because he was finally able to return to China after a long time, and also to see his family and friends, which is understandable.

Flying is always very boring, and you can't look at your phone. I was sleepy anyway, so I decided to sleep a little longer.

Ying Que never left, letting Luo Fan lean on his shoulder. He was much taller than her, so although it was called "shoulder," Luo Fan actually pressed his head directly against Ying Que's face.

"Ugh, so heavy..."

In order to avoid injuring his neck after getting off the plane, Yingque could only tilt his head towards Luo Fan and use the top of his head to support him.

"Well, this is good too, I can rest for a while."

This is much more comfortable; I can lean on his shoulder, and he can lean on my head.

"Go to sleep. Sorry, buying the wrong ticket led us to the wrong place..."

The girl looked at the strong, powerful hand beside her, which was now as relaxed as a wild beast taking a nap. She muttered to herself, only to realize that the man beside her had already fallen asleep.

"You said you weren't tired, but you fell asleep so quickly."

She said it playfully, but a moment later, a slight smile appeared on her lips, as perfect as a crescent moon, and an indescribable happiness radiated from her eyes.

"Thank you for being willing to stay with me like this."

"I promise to give you the most perfect journey during this time."

"From now on, please take good care of this quiet girl who sometimes giggles like an idiot~"

......

In any case, although the process was a bit bumpy, we finally arrived at our destination safely.

"Arrived in Guangyou Bauhinia City, Dragon City!"

Yingque walked slowly out of the airport with a backpack on her back. After several months, she had finally returned to this familiar land.

Luo Fan, however, was visiting this place for the first time and was unfamiliar with the area, so he could only follow Ying Que's footsteps the whole way.

Spring has arrived, and April is the perfect season for the Bauhinia flowers to bloom.

"It's so beautiful, Longcheng. Oh, isn't this snail rice noodles? Let's look at the tung oil mountain in the distance, Luo Fan."

"Yeah, it's really good."

Having grown accustomed to the white snow in New York, a touch of green and purple is quite pleasing to the eye, at least I don't have to wear a down jacket all the time. Nevertheless, the temperature here still needs to be considered; it's not yet at the point where you can casually go out in short sleeves.

But the wind here isn't as unbearable as a blade. Like the people here, there's no need for much precaution. Walking along the road, you're surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers. The gentle spring breeze brushes against everyone's hands, wiping away the sweat from their labor and toil. Walking on such streets, you no longer feel tired.

Although the snow scene is equally beautiful, isn't this kind of weather especially pleasant?

"This road looks so familiar. I used to walk this route all the time when I was in high school. It hasn't changed at all after all this time. This is an industrial city, after all..."

“That’s really impressive.”

Luo Fan didn't know the details, but if this was an industrial city, seeing this kind of scenery was truly commendable.

The main point is that the scenery here is very pleasant.

However, after wandering around the streets for so long, they still didn't seem to have a clear destination...

So where is your hometown?

Luo Fan then remembered what they had come for.

Yingque pointed to the taxi in the distance: "Take a taxi, it's still a long way off."

"how far?"

"It's very far, mainly because the road isn't fully repaired yet."

......

Luo Fan had a premonition that the journey might not be very smooth again.

......

"Driver, it's a bit far to Rong'an, can you give me a ride?"

"You were able to get it to Banlan, but then you ran out of gas money. Are you going back home, kid?"

"Yes, let's go back and take a look."

Yingque wasn't a local, but Luo Fan couldn't help but laugh when he heard her accent when she spoke to the taxi driver.

I want to laugh because I don't understand it... or rather, I can understand a little bit.

After loading their luggage into the trunk, the two finally embarked on their journey to Yingque's hometown.

At first, it was relatively close to the city center, but later, after passing through an overpass and a tunnel, the scene before my eyes was completely different from what it had been just a few minutes earlier.

"Isn't this...the city center?"

Looking out the car window at the various small shops, weeds, and fields, Luo Fan felt a growing tension.

"Yes, after you leave here you'll enter the suburbs, you'll reach Taiping. What, you've never been here before?"

The driver answered in a very authentic local accent, then turned to ask Yingque, who was sitting in the back, since Luo Fan's behavior was indeed quite unethical.

"Ah, yes, it's his first time here, he's from out of town."

"Oh, no wonder. Are you going to stop over in Taiping? There are lots of beef jerky, duck tongue, and rice cakes along the way. Why don't you buy some to eat on the way and take back with you?"

"Yes, Master, let's stop over there for a bit and go buy some things."

"Good, good, good."

Luo Fan couldn't join their conversation at all; the accent was just too heavy. Facing a straightforward and talkative type like the driver, Luo Fan didn't know how to respond.

Yingque, on the other hand, was able to have normal conversations with the driver. Even though they had returned to Donghuang, it felt like Yingque was his translator...

Forget it, let's see what we have along the way and broaden our horizons...

.......

"It's true, the whole street is full of these kinds of shops..."

Upon arriving in Taiping, the driver made a temporary stop so that Ying and the other person could buy some snacks to take back and eat on the way.

Ying Que laughed and said, "Of course, and I don't know why, but everyone on the street used to sell Master Xu's beef jerky. I don't know how they could compete."

As she said, everyone is selling the same brand, and they may even be from adjacent stores. So, who makes money depends on which store the buyer finds appealing.

But that wasn't something he should be thinking about. Luo Fan silently followed behind Ying Que to buy the local specialties packaged in large and small bags.

"But it really smells delicious; the dog and Little Nine will probably love it..."

PS: These two chapters have clarified my personal views and perspectives on love. I like a character not just because of their abilities, but because of their personality, behavior, appearance, and the impact they have on others. Abilities are not the key point. I am choosing a partner, not looking for a job. The meaning of abundance and scarcity lies in this. The protagonist is not limited to meeting people with exceptional abilities like the dolls just because they are good at fighting. Ordinary people should not be said to have no chance or be unworthy to be with the protagonist.

I will write about the positive feedback and wonderful moments that Yingque brought to Luo Fan, which will also explain why Luo Fan likes Yingque so much. He never looked at her from the perspective of her abilities from the very beginning.

For example, consider our parents, partners, and friends. If we were to change our perception of others based solely on their abilities, it would be too cruel. There are so many poor people, whose abilities may be less than ideal, but that doesn't mean they're just pretty faces. They still strive for their families and actively bring positive influence. Should we call them just pretty faces? No...

Aren't surplus and deficiency also forms of abundance and scarcity?

As for the transformation of surplus and deficit, that will be discussed in later sections. This process will be somewhat brutal, but, as some have said, surplus and deficit will become what you want to see...
