Now that you mention it, Luo Fan remembered.
"Teacher, are you referring to Morito?"
"Ah."
......
"I can't say for sure, maybe yes, maybe no..."
So far, the Paradis units like Lady Grey, Mercury Rose, and Nemokin have all been obtained through gacha pulls, which cannot be achieved through regular construction. As for who will be drawn in the next gacha, how would Lovan know? Maybe it will be a Greatsword Warrior?
As for getting those precious items like Paradis to come here, that's a matter of luck. If you're "lucky," you might even be able to draw Narcissus...
"Okay, I understand, thank you..."
That's a pretty good answer; at least the possibility remains. (No yuri, no yuri!)
To be honest, if it weren't for the hostile relationship, Luo Fan would still hope that Paradis and the other nobles could come here. They are not only a powerful force, but also have distinct personalities. Putting aside the issues of hostility and stance, Luo Fan quite likes them.
Lofan couldn't wait to see what it would be like when Mrs. Grey and Morido teamed up to disgust their rival business competitors.
Let's arrange those two raffles soon, but the next thing to think about is room assignments. I feel like at this rate, someone'll have to sleep in the living room sooner or later...
But it seems like it's not so bad for everyone to sleep in the living room together; it's quite cozy...
Having said all that needed to be said, Lofan sealed the remaining whiskey and placed it in the back cabinet before preparing to leave.
Are you going to get busy?
Luo Fan nodded and put on his gray coat: "Well, I need to buy some daily necessities. Before we start working, let's enjoy a period of peace and quiet first. We're not in a rush."
After packing his phone and bag, Luo Fan prepared to leave.
Mrs. Grey also stood up, seemingly preparing to leave.
Before leaving, she patted Luo Fan on the shoulder and asked, "Then I'll wait until after the holiday to handle the company's opening matters?"
"Well, there's no point in doing it during the holidays. Let's wait until the locals have had their holidays for a while, then we can recruit more people when work resumes."
When Luo Fan arrived, he had already taken note of the situation in New York City. Unlike his original world, the foreigners here seemed to also have the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival. Many places on the street had lanterns hanging up, as if they were also preparing to welcome the Spring Festival.
There should be holidays then, right? It's not too late to think about work after the New Year.
After packing his things, Luo Fan prepared to leave the bar and go to the nearby supermarket.
However, I was bound to be very conspicuous here. I had just passed by a few tables when I heard the dog barking.
"Commander, are you going out? Can I come with you?"
Sure enough, the dog, just like a real dog, always wanted to follow me.
"Great! I'm going to buy some things anyway, so I can get you some snacks or something."
"Wuhu, snacks are here!"
Like a professional parkour athlete, the dog kicked Pascal's clothes so hard they almost tore the seams, and then he did a backflip off the sofa and went upstairs to get his own coat.
This whole ordeal really gave the dog's "mom RO" a headache: "SOP, slow down, you almost kicked Miss Pascal!"
He quickly apologized to Pascal and then rushed upstairs together, seemingly intending to keep an eye on the dog.
......
Fortunately, most of the girls didn't gather inside the bar, otherwise they probably would have followed me there again. Having RO and the dog is enough.
Luo Fan casually sat on the sofa by the door, scrolling through his phone, while the two of them changed.
"What, are you going shopping?"
"What, Pascal, you're coming along too?"
Luo Fan put down his phone, his expression immediately softening considerably.
But Pascal waved his hand with a mischievous grin: "No, I just remember one thing: buying coffee."
"Uh......"
Well, Pascal always seems to have his eye on that cup of mop water...
I'm used to it, I'm used to it...
250 Strange People
Although it wasn't the first time she'd been to this kind of city, the dog still acted like a little girl visiting a city for the first time, running around everywhere and showing curiosity about everything, almost as if she wanted to run into the shops.
Luo Fan and RO could only follow behind the dog like parents, fearing that she might accidentally cause trouble and they would have to clean up after her. After all, it was indeed difficult to raise a lively and active daughter. The two behind suddenly felt that they had aged prematurely.
"SOP, slow down! Don't bump into others, this isn't a green zone!"
RO didn't care if she stepped on the hem of her dress, and quickly grabbed her handbag and followed. Luo Fan had to apologize to the pedestrians who were accidentally bumped into along the way.
"My daughter is still young and doesn't understand, I'm sorry to bother you!"
After saying that, he quickened his pace and followed the two who had already run far away, attracting curious and impressed looks from passersby.
Looking back, it seems like a mistake to suggest bringing the dog along. If the dog had run onto the road, I wouldn't have worried about her getting hurt; I'd have been more concerned about the car.
On the bustling street, only three people stood out from the crowd, wearing coats yet moving quickly through the throng. Rather than chasing after a daughter, they looked more like someone had robbed a couple.
The dog hadn't asked Lofan where they were going beforehand. They passed by the Walmart, and the dog's cheerful laughter echoed for a few moments before they missed it.
"Damn it, we went too far!"
Luo Fan paused in front of the mall, hesitating whether to continue chasing after them.
After a brief moment of thought, Luo Fan decided to give up. After all, he was still human, and it was unrealistic to race against a tactical humanoid.
“RO, you go and catch up with SOP. I can’t catch up. You guys come to this Wilder Mall to find me later.”
"OK, Commander, you can go ahead and do your work. We'll be there in a bit, as long as I catch up with her..."
Luo Fan could still hear the whooshing sounds and footsteps from the other end of the line through his earpiece; judging by the sounds alone, he knew he absolutely couldn't catch up with them...
After readjusting his bag, which had been swinging wildly while running, and straightening his clothes, the man, looking utterly helpless, stepped into Walmart alone.
If only there was one RO, that would be perfect. She's gentle, considerate, and caring—isn't that the ideal wife?
It's a pity that his daughter is his heart's desire; RO's soul has been completely captivated by the dog...
The lone pedestrians I encountered on the street were usually much older than me, while the young men and women of similar age were mostly in groups inside Walmart. Their carefree atmosphere was just like that of dogs running around, as if they were also preparing to celebrate the arrival of the new year.
As Luo Fan passed by a clothing store, he glanced at the mirror inside and realized that he looked rather melancholy.
With this in mind, Luo Fan hoped even more that RO could stay by his side.
First, I went to the newly opened Chinese New Year section in Walmart to buy the decorations and other things I would need for the holiday.
Lanterns, paper-cut window decorations, Chinese knots, and even red envelopes—although Luo Fan wasn't sure who these things were for, he still decided to buy them anyway.
However, they even have snacks here, imported from China. The packaging hasn't changed much, except for some English words added for easier understanding.
"Buy more, let them try it when we get back, although the difference probably won't be too noticeable..."
The main reason is that I have a sweet tooth. After all, I also love sweets, but I just don't give people that feeling.
There were quite a few people here, all buying snacks and decorations. It wasn't just immigrants from Donghuang; many native White Eagle people were also buying things, suggesting that people from this world were very interested in Donghuang's culture. (Please do not verify this; any unauthorized reproduction will be deleted.)
"Chocolate... Is a dog even considered a dog? Can it eat it...?"
Luo Fan carefully examined the gold coin chocolate in his hand, seemingly hesitant about whether to buy it or not.
In less than three seconds, a shopping bag was already full...
It's okay, it won't kill you.
Even with an absurdly large amount of snacks in their hands, passersby didn't seem surprised. It seems that buying large quantities of snacks is commonplace among local young people, and they are just one of them.
However, the girls probably eat these snacks even faster than I do...
But aside from the stares of passersby, I seemed to have a strange feeling...
They seem similar to me, but in some ways they are completely unrelated, yet they resonate with me.
I'm not familiar with this feeling, but I can sense a similarity, it's somewhere nearby...
Luo Fan felt inexplicably uneasy and began to look around, trying to find the source of this feeling.
Aside from the ordinary locals of White Eagle, Luo Fan didn't notice anything unusual. The goods on the shelves kept decreasing and being replenished by the restockers. Snacks were picked up one by one and then refilled. Everything was normal and there was nothing strange about it.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Luo Fan felt...
"Are you looking for me, sir?"
"?!"
Luo Fan instinctively threw an elbow strike behind him, but missed.
I used my right hand, but my opponent was on the left, so of course I missed...
A girl wearing a gray short skirt, but with a strange black and red top and hem that didn't even reach her shoulders, appeared beside her at some point and approached her while she was anxious.
And from this moment on, that anxiety has completely disappeared.
But this does not mean that Lofan's vigilance has been dispelled.
"who are you?"
“Rosalia Frieden, sir, that is my name.”
"do we know each other?"
Luo Fan had never seen this girl in his memory, and he was quite certain that he didn't know her, but she always seemed to be giving him a sense of familiarity...
"Of course you don't know me, sir, and I don't know you either, but there's a strange feeling about you, similar to mine, yet somehow different..."
The other person's raised eyebrows and extremely disdainful smile made Luo Fan feel somewhat uncomfortable, so he took another step back.
"What does it feel like?"
"It's no fun just to say it directly, so here's a hint: a word that starts with Q."
Q?
Luo Fan's vigilance grew stronger; he sensed that this person wasn't quite right in the head...
"If we don't know each other, it's best to let this opportunity pass us by, Miss Rosalia..."
But to everyone's surprise, the other party actually slowly backed away, and even gently flicked his temple with his index and middle fingers together.
"Of course, now isn't the right time, but we'll meet again sometime, sir, whose name I don't know~"
After saying that, the other person turned and walked towards the opposite shelf...
What a strange person...
251 Who is she?
Only after watching that slender figure leave did Luo Fan decide to continue his journey.
That strange sense of similarity vanished, just like that strange girl, who came with the wind and went with the wind, leaving nothing behind, and then perhaps was forgotten by herself.
Oh well, let's just consider it a stroke of good luck with love. Anyway, the other party's talk of meeting again is probably just a joke. Luo Fan has no recollection of such a character in his memory. Besides, he has only been in this world for a few months. How could he possibly have the chance to meet an exceptionally beautiful girl?
Just as he was about to leave, Luo Fan received a call from RO.
"Commander, where are you? SOP and I have arrived at the entrance of Wilder Mall."
I could almost hear the silly laughter of dogs nearby...
"I'm in the New Year's goods section on the second floor. Just come up and find me. I'll just wander around around here."
"Okay, we'll be there soon."
Putting away her phone, Luo Fan found an empty shopping cart nearby and began packing the decorations and snacks, as she was finding it difficult to manage by hand.
"Baijiu, baijiu, where is it...?"
Logically, this should also be available in the New Year's goods section. Luo Fan wanted to buy a few bottles to try and see if he could make cocktails with it, even though the taste might be quite strong...
Of course, this is just a guess, but it might even be better than using whiskey and gin as a base spirit?
If all else fails, just give it to the executioner to drink. She has a strong palate anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem for her...
"Baijiu, baijiu... Ah, found it."
The packaging was also changed to a festive red, and even the brand was directly imported from Donghuang. Luo Fan thought that Baiying might be trying to develop some innovative products to compete for the market, but now it seems that direct import is indeed better.
He grabbed over a dozen bottles from the shelf before stopping. For a normal person, this would be considered a huge expense, but Luo Fan wouldn't have any money problems; after all, he was using other people's money to pay for his own...
