Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1364 - 18: Parent-Child Carnival (Part 2)_3
"Hi, she dares to mention the brothers in the club, but none of them have the guts to criticize. The event over there is called Northern Continent Western Style Street, but it’s actually a United Style street food stall. Sister Qiluo will meet you there according to plan, her identity is your good friend from the neighboring class after you entered university, so don’t spill the beans." said the cap-wearing guy calmly.
Gongsun Ce felt relieved and thought that selling snacks couldn’t go wrong. He thanked the cap-wearing guy, turned to his parents and said, "Dad and Mom, come this way! Kardesia said today’s her event, she’s treating!"
"Can Kardesia organize the event well?" Gongsun’s mom doubted, "Last time she held that fireworks exhibition, she blew up an entire building. Hopefully, she won’t cause a fire this time..."
"With Shiyu watching over, nothing should go wrong," assured Mr. Gongsun, "Besides, that kid’s cooking skills have always been quite good, selling some snacks should be easy for her."
"My cooking skills are also good," Qin Qianbai said, refusing to be outdone.
"Could you not show your competitive spirit at this time..." Gongsun Ce sighed, "Come on, come on, let’s make way for the carriage, we’re almost there!"
The bio-carriage carrying soda cans and canned luncheon meat was leisurely strolling on the playground track, delivering a new batch of ingredients to the stalls on the playground. Homemade carts lined up under the shady path, selling freshly baked burgers, fried chicken, and hot dogs. Some creative student brought a batch of folding stools and small wooden tables for diners to use, laid out on the grass like a picnic site in the United’s countryside. A group of guys dressed as western cowboys waved wooden toy guns, shouting catchy slogans: "Chicken Meal A comes with a free amulet~ Burger Meal B comes with a mini cross~ Spend over 100 bucks for a bonus random Transformation Spirit origami, visit and get blessed by the Saint~"
"It’s quite unique. Ten years ago, when I went on a business trip to the United, this was their usual setup." Mr. Gongsun laughed.
Gongsun Ce secretly thought the authenticity was just right; many brothers here work for Black Feather Security Company and recently went to gather firsthand experiences in Fire Wind State, tons of life experience for sure.
He asked Qin Qianbai to first help his parents find seats, while he went ahead to buy some ready-made food. As he passed the hot dog stall, a familiar purple caught his eye; the female college student stall owner was grilling sausages while sandwiching bread, busy with her hands but not forgetting to shout, thoroughly enjoying the work.
"United hot dogs, ten bucks each, various toppings for an additional five bucks~" The stall owner greeted him, "Oh, oh, want a hot dog, Mr. Gongsun?"
"Two, with extra ketchup and less mustard. Yun Yinglang, how many jobs have you worked today?"
Today, Miss Dust Explosion surprisingly wasn’t wearing her maid outfit. She donned a loose dark purple top and baggy long pants, paired with a baseball cap, resembling a hip-hop artist from the United streets. Yun Yinglang took the money with one hand and handed out the hot dog with the other, "Blending into the stall atmosphere, wearing a maid outfit at a United stall just feels odd... Plus, John-senior won’t let me wear a maid outfit for guard duty! It’s odd, isn’t it? Despite his poor combat skills, he dares to boss me around; I don’t even know where his superiority comes from!"
"I don’t need a guard," John said in a low voice.
He had just exited the sandwich shop next door, holding a company sandwich. He originally intended to ignore Yun Yinglang behind the hot dog stall but couldn’t resist the coy "John-senior." Yun Yinglang laughed proudly, and Gongsun Ce gave her a thumbs up, immediately turning around with the solemn face of a neighborhood committee auntie, "Ah, Garcia, I tell you, we shouldn’t be so unreasonable, learn to accept the kindness from young ladies! You see, the world is so dangerous, crises everywhere in life, how can we feel at ease knowing a weak man like you walks campus alone?"
"Exactly, exactly!" Yun Yinglang joined in.
John, whose temper was never quite good at patience, had a visible vein on his forehead now. Just then, his two original guards appeared behind him as if emerging from the ground. Shiyu Linwu sang a cheerful tune, "Your helpers are weak♪ your opportunities are slipping away♪"
"Brother Linwu, I believe I’m capable of ensuring Mr. John’s safety," said Shiyu Zhongyi earnestly.
John felt his head buzzing from these clowns, feeling as if his surroundings had become a gathering point for weirdos since his ability swap. Seeing Demon ready to join the commotion, he hurriedly interrupted, "Spencer went to chat with your parents; are you sure you want to hang around here still?"
"Oh damn, hope she keeps her mouth shut!"
Demon’s expression changed drastically; she shoved the hot dog into a bag and hurriedly returned to her family’s table, seeing Kardesia, dressed as a western cowboy, carrying a waiter’s tray, chatting enthusiastically with her parents.
"Kardesia, have you met Shiyu’s folks over there?"
"Met them, met them!"
"Everything going smoothly? The older generation on Zero Island are quite conservative, aren’t they?" Gongsun’s mom habitually worried for others.
Kardesia, without a hint of psychological burden, came up with nonsense, "Hey, Shiyu’s dad is quite modern, an old-timer still listening to rock music! I just met him in October, and he’s very satisfied with me, saying that I particularly suit his son!"
"Oh, that’s great..."
Gongsun Ce quietly eavesdropped for a while and found that the situation was still relatively stable. The conversation mainly focused on recent academic performance, which wasn’t related to the thing he worried most. Qin Qianbai whispered a reminder: "Don’t worry; Mr. Shiyu is managing things."
Nearby, Shiyu Lianyi handling the BBQ, gave him an OK hand signal, and Gongsun Ce folded his hands, swiftly engaged in mental communication: (Did Kardesia spill the beans?)
(Kardesia’s side is holding up with my script support, but your parents are constantly hinting about your relationship status; I suggest easing the tension, picking the right moment to have Qiluo appear.)
(My goodness, never been to such a tense fair in my life.) Gongsun Ce felt powerless, (What’s the cue for Qiluo’s appearance?)
(She’s your good friend, doubling as a waitress; the cue is serving and greeting.)
Gongsun Ce disconnected the mental chat, returning to reality; Kardesia continued to fend off inquiries rigorously. Her brotherly fidelity was remarkable, holding her ground amid the barrage of questions from Gongsun’s parents, a true act of loyalty and gentle strength.
"Kardesia, are you busy with study tasks recently?" Mr. Gongsun shifted to school topics.
"Not bad, I mostly copy Lianyi’s homework, so it’s simple~" Kardesia smiled.
Gongsun’s mom was anxious, "Oh dear, how come you’re still copying homework in university? Can you graduate smoothly like this..."
"Rest assured, absolutely no problem. We have strong ties with the principal; he has to give me a graduation certificate!" Kardesia boasted.
... Although halfway into the discussion, the topic subtly shifted to whether Kardesia could graduate smoothly, but that’s okay! The distraction effect is excellent, nice work, Kardesia!
"Principal Onowell is a serious person; can he really oversee your... your... lack of initiative and let you graduate smoothly?" Mr. Gongsun doubted.
"You’re unaware, I helped him a lot, all critical academic topics research," Kardesia continued bragging, "Have you heard my parents talk about the Fire Wind State mission? We were investigating local geology back then."
"Oh..." Gongsun’s dad asked casually, "Did you help a lot during the Meteor City mission too?"
"Certainly, we were among the first batch in Meteor City... Ow!"
Kardesia’s proud expression disappeared in a flash; her innocent gaze at Gongsun Ce filled with "Sorry buddy, this looks like trouble’s brewing," Qin Qianbai clapped a hand over his face in silent despair and Gongsun Ce instantly slapped the table, passionately calling: "Hi! Classmates! Is anyone coming to serve food? Kardesia seems to have gotten too hungry and started speaking nonsense, we’re all hungry too, can we have some food, please!!"
