On the twenty-first of August, year thirty-six of the new age, 12:18 PM…
Zhang Che walked out of the Rejing airport, observing the ridiculously young city. The current Rejing was no longer the Rejing of the past.
During the first arrival of the beast swarm, a total of eight spatial gateways had appeared in the surroundings of Rejing in one go. The exotic beasts had swarmed out from them endlessly, and had land and water-type exotic beasts among them.
Rejing was quickly met with tragedy.
A few years later, after surviving through the first beast swarm with much difficulty, the Japanese citizens discovered that Rejing was nothing but ruins. Almost all the buildings were destroyed by the powerful exotic beasts, as if a super intense modern warfare had occurred here. Everything before their eyes was ruined.
It had to be said that the Japanese were truly the most powerful ethnic group in certain aspects.
After the first beast swarm, they pumped in enormous amounts of labor and resources to rebuild Rejing from scratch. They also constructed countless defensive measures around the eight spatial gateways.
Afterwards, although the second and third beast swarms arrived with much larger and stronger numbers, the Japanese had miraculously defended their new Rejing, shocking the whole world.
A few decades had passed since then, the new Rejing had fully taken shape and no longer had a trace of the ruins from the past.
Someone with no knowledge of the history of this place could never imagine that this city was a purgatory-like ruin just thirty years ago.
Although Zhang Che couldn’t see the full appearance of Rejing from where he stood, he could still feel the prosperity and congestion when he looked over it. Despite only taking in a tiny fraction of the city, he could see a glimpse of how Rejing had become the busiest city in Japan once more.
“I wonder if the largest industry of Rejing exists in this world, too? What a pity; if this was in my original world, I would really want to go meet those respectable life coaches and see what their real lives are like.”
Wasn’t the reason why Rejing was called that because of those admirable life coaches? &123;TLN: Rejing translates to hot capital.&125;
If their traces were gone, why even call it Rejing? They might as well call it Lengjing. &123;TLN: Lengjing translates to cold capital.&125;
In the end, just as he walked out of the airport, he saw a long line of taxis parked on both sides of the road… Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The main thing was that when they saw the crowd swarming out from the airport exit, the taxi doors opened almost simultaneously, and every driver was either a young or mature women.
Not only that, those women all had something in common despite their age differences. Every one of them was beautiful.
Even their figures were something to be proud of, although their strong points differed.
Zhang Che was stunned. Something seemed amiss…
Before he could react to any of this, the taxi drivers rushed up to them. A mature, beautiful woman and a young pretty woman both ran up to Zhang Che at the same up, asking in English with smiles on their faces, “Mister, may I know where you’re headed to? I’ll be very happy to be of service to you.”
Zhang Che felt a little dizzy from all this. He understood these simple English sentences, but he couldn’t answer them. In the end, he asked in his unfamiliar Japanese, “Can you send me to the Rejing city area?”
Realizing Zhang Che understood Japanese, the two women’s eyes shone even brighter. They immediately gave Zhang Che a positive answer. Afterwards, each of them hugged an arm and pulled him towards the row of taxis were.
-Since when are the Japanese so hospitable? Could their taxi rides be free, even?-
Zhang Che was a little dumbfounded. He turned his head to look around subconsciously. In the end, he realized the group of women rushing up earlier each had their own harvests. Some of the guests welcomed by them so passionately were as dumbfounded as Zhang Che, but a larger portion of them had smiles on their faces, seemingly used to this strange sight.
Well, this was treatment only available to men.
The women that came out from the airport were rarely approached. The female drivers were basically ignoring them.
Of course, the female travellers were similarly ignoring the female drivers. They continued walking a short distance and walked towards a row of buses further down.
Zhang Che was pulled to the row of taxis by the two women just like that. After a short discussion between the two, they quickly came to an agreement and pushed Zhang Che into the car forcibly. The younger of the two drove, while the mature woman sat in the back, beside Zhang Che.
“Mister, have you booked your hotel room? If not, we have better recommendations.”
From the moment she got into the car, the mature woman’s gaze towards Zhang Che became a little different, as if she was looking at a pile of cash. Her eyes were almost dazzling with golden light.
Did he book a hotel room?
That was impossible. Zhang Che’s trip to Japan wasn’t for vacation. Why would he reserve a hotel room? Perhaps he would even need to sleep outside, with the skies as his blanket and the earth as his bed.
“I’m sorry, I already reserved one.”
Zhang Che more or less understood these female driver’s side job. However, he wasn’t interested at all, and rejected her decisively.
The mature woman wasn’t dejected at all. Her eyes rolled around and continued, “Then do you need any special services? We don’t charge high prices.”
-Ugh, they’re so direct?-
Zhang Che finally witnessed the “hospitality” of the Japanese women first-hand. However, he was still not interested, and shook his head firmly.
-Ai, you’re not Aoi-sensei, Hatano-sensei, or Uehara-sensei…-
On that note, even if Aoi-sensei or the other life coaches were here sending Zhang Che such invitations, he wouldn’t agree.
Admiring their work was one thing, but Zhang Che would never get into a relationship with people in such professions.
Well, the thing was, he was mysophobic. &123;TLN: FYI, people in that profession, both men and women, do check-ups regularly.&125;
The taxi suddenly slowed down and stopped at the roadside. The mature woman and the young woman got out of the car at the same time and swapped places.
Zhang Che was thoroughly speechless. Their professionalism was truly admirable!
As such, he could only put on a cold face and said evenly, “Please send me to Rejing’s city district. I don’t need any other services. Thank you.”
“Ugh, alright, Mister.”
Going forward, the two women became honest as could be. They sent Zhang Che to Rejing’s city district and quickly drove off after receiving the fare for the ride, not reluctant to leave at all.
Well, from the time when their faces turned cold, Zhang Che could guess what they were thinking. They had failed to close a deal and felt that the trip was wasted, something like that.
He thought to himself, -If I really agreed to your suggestions, I would be the one losing big!-
Being on the streets of the unfamiliar Rejing, their unfamiliar language was being spoken all around him, giving Zhang Che a very peculiar feeling.
He didn’t go to book a hotel room. Instead, he walked around the streets casually.
The time now was 1 PM; Zhang Che was starving. He needed to find a place to have a good meal.
Of course, given his appetite, it was impossible for him to enter a restaurant. That scene would be too frightening to the on-lookers.
The only feasible way was for him to look for a secluded corner and take out the prepared food from his spatial storage to eat. He wouldn’t scare anyone that way.
-First I’ll fill my stomach, then start looking for information on the Miyazaki Clan.- Thinking of that, Zhang Che made turn after turn and walked into a secluded alley.
