Chapter 226 (2/2)
It’s really hard to understand what’s going on in a non-human lady’s head.
“Will they run into any problems though?” Hao Ren was evidently still worried. “Especially if we were to mail them overseas. Human checks are one thing. Will the Demon Hunters monitor this sort of communication channel?”
“Hmmm… there is a risk indeed. But I had already cast a aura removal and diversion spell on each bottle. Unless a Demon Hunter strikes the jackpot and sees what’s in it, it will not be exposed.”
Hao Ren then only could breath a sigh of relief. After that, both him and Vivian brought two big boxes of bottles and cans up to the living room. Becky was all giddy from excitement by the wait, and she zipped right towards them as she saw the duo. “When are we…. Oh what’s here?”
“We’ll need to pay the delivery office a visit first to send these out.” Hao Ren placed one of the boxes on the tea table and pulled Rollie who can jumped up the table out of curiosity aside. “Oh yea, Hilda, want to come along?”
Hilda was in a stupor while sitted on the sofa. After hearing what Hao Ren said, she only belated shook her head. “No.. I don’t need anything.”
“Oh, you guys are going out? Shopping?” Vivian only then noticed that most of the group were dressed to go out. Hao Ren nodded at her. “Yes, come along to. Should get you some stuff too.”
Vivian did not know what Hao Ren had in mind and seeing that he did not plan to spell it out either, she simply nodded and said her thanks.
The vampire had shed her hesitation towards Hao Ren’s generosity, unlike when she just moved in. She knew that even she were to decline, she had no money to get the things herself…
Leaving Hilda who was still in her stupor and Lil Pea who obviously cannot go out at home. Hao Ren and the rest left the house rather noisily. The strongest of the lot, Y’zaks and Lily volunteered to carry the boxes and were in the front of the group. Hao Ren, whilst walking muttered to himself. “High time I get a proper car…. It’s a necessary tool anyway. Sides, I’ve also started learning how to pilot a spacecraft…. and we still need to jostle for public transport?”
While Hao Ren could teleport, he hated the nauseating feeling that came after each teleportation. Besides, teleporting into a big city would simply just spell trouble. As such, unless it is to travel somewhere really far, Hao Ren and the group had to rely on public transport.
Wuyue pondered for a while. “Having a car sure is convenient, but who can drive?”
Hao Ren puffed his chest up and gave it a slap. “Me of course, I can soon pilot a spaceship!”
“What’s on the right side then? The brake or the accelerator?”
“…”
“You know, it’s okay if you don’t know something.” Wuyue curled her lips. “I had learned how to drive a LONG time ago… but that time, internal combustion engines were a pretty new invention. You can imagine my driving skills then.”
Hao Ren tried to estimate, and was surprised to find that the the time Wuyue had learnt to drive was in the early 1900s. Her driving now would be a death knell for them. No, a death knell for everyone on the road.
Looking around, it does seem that none of them knew how to drive a car. Y’zaks and Becky were out of the question… Wuyue’s driving license… is over a century old. Lily… don’t have high hopes of her passing the driving exam. Vivian was even more unlikely, having a personal car an item she could only dream of. She was already struggling with the bus fares as it is…
Hao Ren finally proded the MDT, “Can the Administration do something about our short-haul transportation problem? It’ll be better if it’s self-driving…”
“Can you don’t act all goody-two-shoes, just say it if you want to take advantage of your benefits.” The MDT sneered as it vibrated. “But I can try to apply something for you. It’s just lucky that Mistress Raven had given you the assignment to monitor the supernaturals on Earth, this will serve as a valid reason.
Now Hao Ren could look forward as to what he will receive next month.
