Chapter 352 Lao Tzu also has the resources of a strong man
Chapter 352 I also have the qualities to be a strong man.
Donald was brought in by Crowe. Although he had good abilities, he had to go through the procedures. Although he was the base commander, he was allowed to start at most as a first-class soldier in the branch. If he wanted to be promoted, strength alone was not enough.
.
"Then what are you doing here? Are you going to join the navy too?"
After finishing dealing with Donald, Kuro looked at Kikyo who was chatting happily with Lida.
"Oh? So you want to eat something like that? Well, I'll go learn it and I should be able to make it."
"Then it's up to you, Sister Kikyo!"
The two people were talking happily there, but they couldn't hear what Kuro said.
Kuro twitched the corner of his mouth, "Platycodon?"
Lida reacted and said: "Sister Platycodon, Kuro is calling you."
Kikyo was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and showed doubts.
Sure enough, the woman didn't hear what he said.
Kuro took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said slowly: "What are you doing here?"
"Stop! Leda, ask!"
Just as Kikyo was about to open her mouth, Kuro, who was alert, quickly stretched out his hand to stop Kikyo from speaking.
This woman is quite good-looking, but unfortunately she is deaf and has a mouth that can say completely different things.
Lida repeated her words again.
This time Kikyo heard clearly, nodded and said: "In addition to wanting to go to the sea to have a look, the King of the Insect Kingdom, Luo Wei, also asked me to bring some things."
With that said, she took out an envelope from her arms, walked forward and placed it on Qrow's table, "This is for you from Lowe."
"He gave it to me?" Kuro was stunned, picked up the envelope, and said while opening it: "What can this guy give me?"
The envelope was opened, revealing a letter and a World Bank cashier's check attached to the letter.
There are only a few words in the letter.
[Hey, bastard, the reward from the martial arts competition is given to you. The Kingdom of Insects will not default on your debt! Also, take good care of my sister!]——The world’s number one physical arts genius, Luo Wei.
Kuro raised his eyebrows, picked up the cashier's note and looked at it. At the beginning of many zeros, there was an '8'.
Eight hundred million!
"Let me see what's written."
Seeing Kuro's strange expression, Lida came over.
Kuro showed him the letter and said: "This is a letter from your arrogant brother. In addition, it seems that he gave me money at the last martial arts conference or something."
The 300 million sponsored by the Luo family and the 500 million provided by the Kingdom of Insects totaled 800 million beli. It was originally a reward from the martial arts conference, but it ended up being given to him.
"Eh?"
Lida's head twisted and she asked, "Brother?"
She had no problem calling her brother, because Lida was already a very tall person, especially after spending time with Kuro for a long time, so she didn't care about these family factors.
As she said, she was Flo Lida, but she also recognized her brother.
"Eight hundred million"
Kuro is not short of money now. He has been promoted to base director. Everything he needs is reimbursed with public funds. It doesn't cost much to develop a hot spring. Even Lida, she can take care of her own food and drink now, and her salary is definitely enough.
.
But 800 million beli, this is a huge sum of money.
Although there is no shortage of money, no one wants too much money!
These are two straw hat boys!
"Eight hundred million!"
Lida also saw the cashier's check and said happily: "If you have 800 million, you can eat whatever you want in the future. You can choose the best ingredients and the most delicious things, and you can also buy a lot of beautiful things!
"
"Give you all."
Kuro smiled and rubbed Lida's head, "But I will use part of this money as an investment in Pegasus Town. If I just rely on the taxes of these residents, I don't know how long it will take."
He is now the same as Mengka of Branch 153. Pegasus Island is his naval base, and the taxes are of course his own.
The World Government has completely liberalized the taxation of naval bases in this area, and it is all controlled by the navy.
"Eh? Do you want me to control it? So good?" Lida was a little dumbfounded. She thought that Kuro would take the money. She didn't care anyway, and Kuro wouldn't treat her badly.
"Of course the money your brother gives you is yours. Why do I need so much money? It's enough."
Eat and drink navy packages, and if you want weapons, he can eliminate naval weapons very quickly. The eliminated ones are sent to him to the treasure house of heaven. With his status, he can make a report and get it passed instantly.
His daily needs were basically taken care of by the navy. His own money was basically used to visit the town, eat some food, buy a few more sets of clothes for himself, and buy some accessories for Lida.
gold?
How much is gold worth?
He is not poor and naive like a pirate.
"As for your words"
Kuro looked at Kikyo and said, "What kind of world do you want to see? A rough and turbulent world? Wandering in the sea? Or just let nature take its course."
Lida repeated Clow's words, because this woman cannot hear clearly to adults and men.
Kikyo thought for a while and said: "I want to do a lot of cooking, but I'm not very interested in adventures on the sea. It would be good if I could cook more safely and occasionally see the world."
"Then join the navy. You are really good at cooking, and I also like to eat. I will consider you for the position."
Lida repeated Kuro's words again.
Kikyo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, please give me more advice in the future."
She bowed lightly towards Kuro.
"Lida, take her for a walk." Kuro said.
"clear!"
Lida raised her hand and smiled at Platycodon: "Sister Platycodon, I will take you to visit the town and buy some ingredients on the way. I want to eat sister Platycodon's cooking today."
Platycodon smiled: "Okay, I met some good spices on the merchant ship when I came here, and I happened to buy some of those spices."
The two walked out. Suddenly, Lida came back and took a careful look at Kuro, which made him feel confused. After that, Lida walked away.
"Sister Platycodon, come with me to buy some clothes. I think Kuro seems to have grown taller recently."
Lida took Platycodon grandiflorum's hand and walked out of the naval base together.
As soon as the person left, he slumped down on the chair again, put his feet up on the table, lit a cigar, and smoked it slowly.
"Tsk, my clothes are so tight again. Have I been growing recently?"
As his legs moved, he felt that his clothes were a little tight. It wasn't because he was fat, but because he was simply taller, which made his clothes look a little too small.
This situation does not happen once or twice.
Kuro also changed a lot of clothes during this period, and all the previous clothes were too small.
His current height, if you calculate it, he is probably about 2.45 meters, and depending on the situation, he will be even taller.
"Hey! I also have the appearance of a strong man."
Kuro smiled and blew out a puff of smoke with satisfaction.
In this world, although one meter or something looks good, compared with the common height of two or three meters, it is still a bit different.
Although the word strong is not auspicious in this world, Kuro can still accept it just because he is taller.
