Panseok Sports School was located at the foot of Boulder Mountain in the North City District. It occupied an area of several thousand acres and was adjacent to the city guard's barracks. The school had three campuses, namely the Elementary, Middle, and Advanced. Little Zhuo was in the Elementary Campus. The school did not allow outsiders to enter, so Luo Kai and Old Fu wandered around.
The North City District was completely different from the other districts. There were almost no tall buildings or factories, and all of them were private mansions. The streets were clean, the trees were dense, and the environment was elegant.
The people who lived here were all wealthy merchants and nobles, so the security was very tight. Every street had a reinforced concrete sentry post, and there were guards patrolling the area all day long.
The feeling of being watched all the time was very uncomfortable. Luo Kai and Old Fu returned to the school and waited for school to end. His gaze was attracted to the parking lot not far away. The parking lot on one side of the school was densely packed with cars. Among them, there were a few small cars that were very eye-catching. These cars did not have the unique large boiler of a steam car. They were not much different from the oil cars in his previous life.
Luo Kai could not help but be surprised. "Are those oil cars?"
Old Fu looked at the parking lot and nodded. "Yes."
"Since there is oil, why don't I see anyone using it?"
Luo Kai was very puzzled. It must be known that oil was far more efficient and convenient than coal. It was precisely because of the appearance of oil that human civilization entered the industrial age.
Old Fu explained, "Although oil is good, it is expensive. Seongma Province does not have this kind of energy, so we have to rely on imports. Moreover, the imports are limited and most of them are for military use. It is impossible to popularize. In the entire Longyang City, there are probably no more than ten oil cars, and there are no other oil powered machines."
"Oh."
Luo Kai nodded. He did remember the location of some large oil fields, but the world had changed so much that he could not use it as a reference.
Soon, it was time for school to end, and a large group of boys and girls rushed out of the school gate. A youthful aura hit Luo Kai in the face. Luo Kai couldn't help but have a feeling of returning to his youth, although his body didn't look much older than these students.
Little Zhuo was wearing a snow-white training suit as she walked out of the school gate. She was holding a wooden spear in her hand. She had a slender figure and looked a bit like a beautiful female warrior. When she saw Luo Kai, she was so excited that her face turned red. She shouted from afar, "Big brother!"
Xiao Zhuo had completely walked out of the shadow of the kidnapping, and recovered her original charming nature. As usual, she pulled Luo Kai's clothes and chattered about the things that happened in the school. Today, the school was teaching spear throwing, and this most primitive hunting skill was now revitalized.
The spear throwing skill was far inferior to bows and arrows, firearms, and other weapons, but it won in the convenience of obtaining materials. Moreover, the power of the spear throwing skill did not depend on the mechanical power, but on the strength and skill of the user. A strong spear thrower's lethality in short to medium range was not inferior to firearms.
Luo Kai was very interested in this, and was listening attentively when Little Zhuo suddenly changed the topic. She suddenly covered her nose and said, "Big brother, why are you still wearing this set of clothes?
The smell of blood on it can't be washed off, and you need a haircut, your hair is almost reaching your chest! "
Luo Kai had never paid much attention to these things, and no one had told him about it. He looked down and saw that he was still wearing the coat that was full of holes, and the trousers on his lower body were full of wear and tear marks. His hair was indeed a little long, and in the past, when he felt that it was too long, he would just take a knife and cut off a piece of it. There was no hairstyle at all, and his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were shabby. He did not care about his appearance, and his whole person looked a little sloppy. He blushed a little and said, "I forgot."
"Let's go, I'll take you to buy some clothes, and also to get a haircut." Little Zhuo patted her small chest, and pulled Luo Kai towards a small fuel car in the parking lot.
In front of the car stood two bodyguards, a man and a woman. The man was a black man, tall and strong, and had a fierce face. The woman was petite and exquisite, and looked more like a student than a bodyguard. They were the elites that Zang Haisheng had selected from the business group's guards, and were proficient in fighting, physical skills, and excellent marksmanship.
Both of them had undergone strict training, and seeing that the young miss was so close to this young man, even if they were curious about this colleague, they would not ask anything that they should not ask.
Old Fu smiled and said to the two bodyguards, "Take care of the young miss." Then he said to Luo Kai, "Little brother, I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, goodbye."
The fuel car slowly started, and it was extremely stable. The comfort level was similar to the fuel cars in his previous life, and it did not have the unique noise and soot smell of steam cars.
The black bodyguard was called Lahm, and he was in charge of driving the car. The female bodyguard was called Zang Die, and she was in charge of taking care of the daily necessities.
The fuel car slowly drove into the entrance of a luxurious shopping mall, and there were already greeters waiting for them, and they politely led them to the clothing area.
An hour later, Luo Kai had changed his clothes. He was wearing a thick leather jacket, a pair of slim jeans, and a pair of shiny leather shoes. Although his hair was still disheveled, with these clothes, he had an elegant temperament. He had changed from a sloppy boy to a handsome man.
Xiao Zhuo's eyes were shining with stars, and she exclaimed loudly, "Big brother, you are so handsome!"
Luo Kai awkwardly pulled at his pants and muttered to himself, "If I were to fight, my pants would definitely be torn."
When he was checking out, he inadvertently saw the number on the bill and was shocked. He hurriedly asked, "This set of clothes costs 120,000 yuan?"
Xiao Zhuo threw the bill into the trash can without a care, and clapped her hands, "It's still 30% off."
Luo Kai's heart ached. Even if Xiao Zhuo gave him a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, it would take him a year to afford it. It was just some clothes, it was too extravagant!
Xiao Zhuo's face showed a sly smile, and she cleared her throat, "Big brother, this is all my pocket money, you have to return it to me."
Luo Kai hit her head, "You prodigal girl, you are not allowed to spend money like this in the future!"
Xiao Zhuo covered her head and giggled, "It's not my money that you are spending, it's your prepaid salary."
… …
Luo Kai's life returned to peace, but the situation in this country was getting more and more dangerous. Seongma Province and Nanzhao Kingdom had several large-scale conflicts at the border, and both sides suffered heavy losses. The conflicts only stopped after the mediation order from Higashimogami Province was issued, and they entered into a standoff.
The Dragon Shark Pirates officially stationed their troops in Longyang County, and they changed their name to Dragon Shark Camp, and they were incorporated into the ranks of the Longyang Prefecture Army. The first troop of 3,000 soldiers was stationed at Tiger Head Slope 30 miles away, and there would often be Dragon Shark Camp soldiers coming to Longyang City in groups to squander money.
These people were barbaric and fierce, and they burned, killed, and plundered in broad daylight. The Security Department in charge of public security was angry, but they did not dare to say anything, and the people of Longyang City were living in an abyss of suffering.
Luo Kai did not come into contact with any of this, he slept in the rented house all day, and rested his spirit. Occasionally, he would go out to the Panseok Sports School to see Xiao Zhuo. Maybe it was because his living conditions were better, his recovery speed this time was much faster than the previous time, and he recovered his vigor in just a month.
