"Sorry, I may not be free tonight, I have to go out for a while."

"It's okay, I don't really want to go alone anyway..."

After chatting with Samantha for a while, the waitress took a plate of hot mapo tofu and put it on the table.

After seeing the delicious food, Samantha's eyes lit up, and then she clasped her palms together and said in Japanese:

"I'm going to start!"

After finishing speaking, she immediately picked up the spoon and began to feast on it.

Seeing this mixed-race cherry blossom girl eating so unrestrainedly, Lu Qi twitched his mouth and couldn't help persuading:

"Eat slowly, no one will grab yours..."

"This is the way to eat mapo tofu, it's enjoyable enough!"

While putting the hot tofu into her mouth, Samantha did not forget to say:

"I really want Laura to try this dish, I think she will like it too..."

Chapter 251 Lara Croft

"Laura?!"

From Samantha's mouth, the moment Lu Qi heard the name, he couldn't help raising his brows, and immediately had a rough guess about the world he was in.

Among the many games he has played, there are very few games where women are the protagonists of the game. It can be said that there are only a handful of games.

And what impressed him the most was, of course, the heroine of the Tomb Raider series of games, Lara Croft, who has nicknames such as "Where to Go", "Tomb Destroyer", and "Little Demolition Expert"!

After thinking about it, Lu Qi rolled his eyes and asked seemingly casually:

"This Laura, is she a good friend of yours?"

"Yeah, Laura's my best friend. We've known each other since boarding high school and went to the same university..."

Speaking of her best friend, Samantha seemed to be excited, and even the movement of spooning mapo tofu in her hand was unconsciously slowed down.

"Party, can you let her go with you..."

"Forget it, compared to lively parties, she prefers to spend time in a quiet library with those ancient relic books."

"Oh, she sounds like one of those bookworms with a bunch of books and glasses..."

"Haha, then you guessed wrong! If you saw her, you would definitely not think so."

Putting the last bite of Mapo Tofu into her mouth, Samantha seemed to think of an interesting thought, and said immediately:

"I'll bring her here some other day to try the dishes here, and I'll introduce you to you by the way. I'd like to see, you and her, who is the real language genius!"

"By the way, she is proficient in eight languages..."

Hearing this, Lu Qi's heart moved, and then he shrugged, spread his hands, and put on an indifferent look:

"Welcome anytime..."

Anyway, there is a language translator by my side, whether you speak Javanese or alien languages, I can understand you...

. . .

Samantha walks the talk.

Only two days later, she brought her best friend to "Hua Ji"

"Lu Qi, come meet my best friend, Laura Crawford!"

Laura's upper body was wearing a black leather jacket with a gray vest inside, and her lower body was a pair of jeans with a pair of Martin boots.

Although Laura does not look tall, she is about 1.6 meters.But this well-fitting and neat collocation looks extraordinarily tall.

A head of brown hair was tied up casually, revealing that slightly immature and beautiful face.

Those brown eyes were full of curiosity and scrutiny, as if they were looking at Lu Qi.

When Lu Qi saw the Laura in front of him who seemed to have stepped out of the game, a timely prompt sounded in his mind:

Contact the protagonist of the world, the world mission starts!

After being taken aback for a moment, Lu Qi stretched out his hand and said hello:

"Hi, Miss Crawford, I've heard a lot about you from Samantha..."

Laura wasn't shy at all, but reached out to shake her hands generously, and said with a smile:

"Hello, Mr. Lu. I'm also at Samantha's and have heard a lot about you."

"Haha, did Samantha tell you how we met?"

"Of course, forgetting the wallet is something that only she can do."

Hearing this, Samantha, who had already sat down and looked at the menu, couldn't help protesting:

"Hey, I'm right here, is it really okay for you to speak ill of me so openly?!"

"Hahaha..."

With Samantha as the middleman, it resolved the little embarrassment of Lu Qi and Laura when they met for the first time...

Since it was past dinner time, there were no customers in the restaurant, so Lu Qi was able to take a break from his busy schedule to chat with the two girls.

“My recommended dishes are Cantonese style roast duck, mapo tofu...”

After listening to Lu Qi's recommendation, Laura looked at the menu for a while, then looked up at Lu Qi, and said:

"Mr. Lu, this..."

"Just call me Qi, Mr. Lu sounds a little... strange..."

"Oh, yes. Call me Laura, too. Miss Crawford sounds a little strange, too."

After all, Laura smiled, like a sunflower in summer, exuding enthusiasm.

After the two of them placed the order, Lu Qi stayed away temporarily, took the order, went to the kitchen outlet, and handed it to the restaurant owner who was secretly watching the show.

After receiving the order, the owner of the restaurant raised his eyebrows at Lu Qi, pretending to be someone who came here, and joked:

"Aqi, it's ok, one drags two, it has the style I used to!"

Hearing this, the corners of Lu Qi's mouth twitched violently. He looked at the boss's Mediterranean Sea and beer belly, opened his mouth, and hesitated to speak.

He almost blurted out, the boss is sure you can really drag two back then?

However, considering that the job is still needed, he still did not speak his mind in the end.

You are the boss, you can say whatever you want...

. . .

The dishes were served quickly, and under Samantha's strong recommendation,

After the two of them had eaten a lot, Lu Qi came out of the kitchen again and came to the two of them.

"Is the dish still to your liking?"

Hearing this, Laura, who was so hot that her face was slightly red, couldn't help giving a thumbs up, then pointed to the completely eaten Mapo tofu, and praised:

"It's delicious! Especially this mapo tofu, I've never eaten such a spicy dish, but it's so delicious!"

Samantha on the side also echoed:

"I told you a long time ago, mapo tofu is the best!"

After a pause, she seemed to think of something, and her mood suddenly became depressed, "Oh, but in the next two months, we won't be able to eat such delicious food..."

Hearing this, Lu Qi frowned, pretending to be curious, and asked:

"Why do you say that? Where are you going?"

Laura on the side took the conversation and explained:

"That's right, Samantha and I are going to take part in an archaeological project and go out to sea by boat to find the legendary Yamatai."

"Sounds very interesting, can you tell me more about it?"

"certainly..."

After the descriptions of Laura and Samantha, Lu Qi confirmed that the timeline of the game he was in was before the main plot of Tomb Raider 9 started!

The main story line of Tomb Raider 9 actually revolves around Laura's first adventure.

The plot is probably that Laura went to sea with an archaeological team. When she went to the Dragon Triangle, she encountered a shipwreck and happened to board the ancient Yamatai ruins. She struggled to survive against many difficulties such as refugees, supernatural forces, and harsh environments on the island. The story of friends escaping from the island together.

And when he heard that they were about to board a ship named "Perseverance" in half a month and set off on an adventure, there was only one thought left in Lu Qi's mind:

He must participate in this adventure!

Chapter 252 Is there a lack of people?I'm a thief

In fact, as early as in the kitchen, Lu Qi entered the system, opened the mission interface, and confirmed the requirements of the world mission:

"Prove to the world the existence of the two ancient ruins!"

Obviously, this mission requirement is very in line with the "adventure" tone of the world of Tomb Raider.

However, as a layman who has never been in touch with archeology and ancient relics, it is almost impossible for Lu Qi to find these ancient relics, like finding a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, he met Laura, the protagonist of the game!

As the last bloodline of the Crawford family, Laura has been very interested in ancient ruins and mysterious legends since she was a child under the influence of her explorer father, even obsessed.

Through self-study, she has mastered almost all the skills required for archaeology, such as collecting ancient documents, identifying sea charts, writing excavation reports, etc., and at the same time, she also has the qualities of a bold, careful, and skilled adventurer, but she is said to be born archaeologists.

As long as he stays by her side, he doesn't need to look for any ancient relics, they will naturally be delivered to her door!

Just like this sailing adventure!

Lu Qi, who had cleared Tomb Raider 9, knew well that this trip to sea, Laura and others would discover the ruins of ancient Yamatai, and even had a close contact with Queen Himiko of Yamatai.

Leaving aside whether Himiko can be defeated and escaped from the island, this is obviously a good opportunity to complete the mission!

However, the premise is that he has to board the Endurance and become a member of this archaeological team...

Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help but look serious, and asked seriously:

"By the way, are you still short of people on board?"

Hearing this, Laura was taken aback for a moment, looked at Samantha who was also a little surprised, and then asked:

"are you serious?"

"Yes, 100% seriously."

Nodding his head, Lu Qi then explained: "I know, this is a bit abrupt. However, I have always had no resistance to this kind of adventurous activity of exploring unknown areas."

"I can pay my boat fare, and I can also do chores on the boat, and I can cook delicious food."

The reason is not sufficient, but, with Lu Qi's sincere words, both Laura and Samantha felt his determination.

Samantha, who is more familiar with Lu Qi, took the lead in expressing her opinion:

"If you know how to make mapo tofu, I'm in favor of you boarding the boat!"

Apparently, Samantha is open to Lu Qi's request to go out on a sea adventure together.

But Laura thought more.

Although I heard some things about Lu Qi from Samantha.However, she and Lu Qi had known each other for less than a few hours, so she didn't know each other's character.

But going to sea this time is of great importance, and she can't make the decision.

After hesitating for a while, Laura blinked those brown eyes and said apologetically:

"It's not for us to decide, we have to ask Ross, there are others."

Conrad Rose is a good friend of Laura's father and the captain of the Endurance.

Obviously, Ross, the captain, has the right to speak on this archaeological trip.

As long as he nods in agreement, Lu Qi can board the boat.

As for whether Ross can be persuaded, it depends on Laura's attitude...

Looking at the hesitant Laura, Lu Qi nodded, emphasizing his own value again:
