Chapter 36: The Heart of Vigilance
Arnold said innocently: "The three of us have formed a team now, so there must be someone who is the captain, right? If you don't, should I be the one?"
"Yeah, be it." Luo You pushed the title directly onto Arnold's head. Before the big man could refute, he blocked Arnold's mouth and "Don't accept the rebuttal."
Arnold was a little stunned. Now the three-man team is relying on Luo You to support the scene. This guy actually pushed the captain's title to him. Isn't this a praising him? Arnold blushed and asked, "Why?"
"I don't want to be it." Luo You almost made Arno vomit blood. Is this a reason too willful?
In fact, Luo You still has some considerations on this issue. First of all, if they form a team, the captain will definitely be the first to suffer any trouble in the future, and the exposure rate is also the highest. This is too troublesome for Luo You. He doesn't want to attract too many people's attention, and he doesn't like too many people to point the finger at him and push Arnold to this position. In fact, his selfishness is the cause of his own. He wants to use Arnold as a shield.
Of course, there is a deeper reason, that is, Luo You thinks that his social skills are too poor, and he does not understand the skills of communicating with people, and as Arnold said, he does not understand the power of human feelings.
A person who does not understand communication is destined to be a leader. Not to mention whether he has the ability to deal with internal conflicts in the team. On external issues, a captain who does his own way and insists on taking the team can easily lead the team into an abyss that cannot be restored. Therefore, although Arnold is not as powerful as Luo You, he has a strong human touch and is more suitable for this position.
Arnold knew that Luo You never answered those questions that he felt were boring. Now this perfunctory sentence "I don't want to be it" has shown that he doesn't want to answer this question anymore. Arnold had to compromise helplessly, and at the same time he was a little nervous.
Just imagine, there is a monster in the team that is a hundred times stronger than me, but when I communicate with outsiders, I have to call myself the captain. This is simply unspeakable and I can't even hold my face.
"By the way, you asked Ling to call me over. Is there anything wrong?" Arnold remembered the serious matter.
Luo You pointed to the smile of Mr. Tang, and said, "I don't have a bank account and can't bring so much money. You are a resident of Fuxiao City. You should have a personal account and deposit the money there."
Arnold's mouth was so open that he could stuff two eggs: "Aren't you afraid that I will swallow your money and run away?"
"Try it." Luo You suddenly showed a mysterious smile.
"Just, just kid..." Arnold muttered shamefully, "You guy can run hundreds of kilometers at any time, where can I sneak up."
Seeing Arnold come over, Mr. Tang's occupational disease was recurring. His eyes revealed his desire for money. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "This guest, you look like a very powerful soldier. There are dangers everywhere in the wilderness. Now you have become the captain of the team again. Are you interested in buying something to improve your strength?"
If the money is Arnold, he will definitely choose. After all, life is more important than money. Instead of fighting hard in the wilderness to find reward points, it is better to buy some exchange items with money. But this money was earned by Luo You, and none of it belongs to him, so he will never touch it: "No, next time I have money, I will come to you, transfer the money first, the account is..."
After Arnold reported his account, Mr. Tang sent a team to escort the money to the bank. After all, he was also a native of the Black Street. He knew that he had to be wary of danger at any time here, let alone escorting such a large amount of money.
To be on the safe side, Luo You waited until the escort team came back and asked Arnold to check the balance at a nearby machine. After receiving a positive answer, he nodded with satisfaction.
"If you don't mind, stay for a meal and I'll treat you." Old Tang Koko smiled softly. Although this was just his habitual movement, it was still quite terrifying to match his old face and skin like dead tree bark.
Generally speaking, a rooster like Mr. Tang will not invite anyone to dinner. Even if he really invites someone to dinner, he will definitely have to collect food expenses in advance. He will not miss any opportunity to make money. However, the purpose of treating this time is different. He is to win over Luo You. Although it is impossible to sell favors for a meal, it can more or less bring the relationship closer. The hidden benefits in Mr. Tang are already higher than the food expenses in his heart.
Mr. Tang brought them to the restaurant. Mr. Tang mainly reselled cube exchange products, not the catering industry, so he did not open a luxury restaurant. Even if he had it, he would not lose money and invite strangers. What's more, in this era, banquets are exclusive to the upper class people. The prices of fresh ingredients are not affordable to ordinary people. Most people can enjoy only honey and bread.
This meal was very simple, a large pot of steamed buns, a little pickles, and a pot of light soup. It was gone, and the total price was no more than forty bery.
In the old days, this meal was not even considered a migrant worker meal, but in the era of collapse, it was already pretty good. Not to mention anything else, if a large pot of steamed bun was placed in the wilderness, it would be enough for the two armed forces to fight blood.
Arnold was originally a civilian with no money in Dawn City. When he saw such a large pot of steamed buns and refreshing pickles, he immediately saliva flowed and reached out to grab two to chew.
But at this moment, Luo You suddenly held Arnold's hand, then moved his eyes to Old Tang, and said, "You eat steamed buns, pickles, and soup first."
Luo You’s meaning is very obvious: I don’t know if these things are poisonous. You can taste them all first and I will eat them after confirming that they are not poisonous.
This extreme vigilance is a necessary survival skill in the wilderness. It is easy to avoid hidden arrows and is difficult to defend against. Throughout history, there have been many heroes and heroes who have been poisoned. Many people who have been terrified for a while have fallen on the simplest question of "eating".
Although Arnold understood Luo You's meaning, he was not a person in the wilderness after all, so he couldn't understand it very much. He hesitated and whispered: "Luo You...isn't this good, right?"
Mr. Tang was also very unhappy at this time. He kindly invited someone to dinner, but he actually suspected that he was poisoning the meal and questioned it in public. What is the difference between this and slapping him directly in the face?
Old Tang looked at Luo You and was about to say "If you like to eat, eat it, get out if you don't eat it." Suddenly, he met Luo You's eyes. Under the shadow of the cloak, the deep eyes faintly emitted a scarlet and fierce light, like a beast ready to go. And every second of the time passed, the fierce light became more and more intense. When Old Tang came to his senses, cold sweat had already gathered on his face into a stream...
