Donald was brought to work by Crowe. Although his strength is good, he has to go through the procedures. Although he is the Base Chief, at most, he will start from a branch first-class soldier. If he wants to be promoted, strength alone is not enough.
"Then why are you here? Are you going to join the Marine?"
After dealing with Donald, Kuro looked at Pallas, who was chatting happily with Leda.
"Oh? So you want to eat that kind of thing. Well… I'll go and learn. I should be able to make it."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Sister Stork!"
The two of them were chatting happily and could not hear Kuro's words.
Kuro's lips twitched. "A tritium?"
Leda reacted and said, "Sister Stork, Kuro is calling you."
Stork froze and turned his head, revealing a question.
Sure enough, this woman did not hear him.
Kuro took a deep breath and suppressed the frustration in his heart. He said slowly, "What are you doing here?"
"Stop! Leda, you ask!"
Just as Pallas was about to speak, Kuro, who was alert, quickly reached out and stopped Pallas.
This woman is quite good-looking, but it's a pity that she's deaf, and she has a broken mouth that can say that she completely disagrees.
Leda repeated the words.
This time, Stork heard it clearly and nodded. "In addition to wanting to go out to sea to take a look, King Lowe of the Country of Insects also dragged me to bring some things."
With that, she took out an envelope from her pocket and walked up to put it on Kuro's table. "This is from Lowe."
"He gave it to me?" Kuro was stunned. He picked up the envelope and opened it as he said, "What can this guy give me?"
The envelope was opened, revealing a letter and a promissory note from the World Bank.
There were only a few words in the letter.
[Hey, bastard, the rewards of the Martial Arts Conference are for you. The Country of Insects will not go back on their word! Also, take good care of my sister!] — The world's number one body technique genius, Lowe.
Kuro raised his eyebrows and picked up the ticket. There was an eight at the beginning of many zeros.
800 million!
"What does it say? Let me see."
Seeing Kuro's strange expression, Leda came over.
Kuro showed him the letter and said, "It's a letter from your arrogant brother. In addition, I think he gave me money for the last Martial Arts Conference."
The 300 million yuan sponsored by the Luo Family and the 500 million yuan provided by the Country of Insects was a total of 800 million Berries. It was originally the reward of the Martial Arts Conference, but it was given to him.
"Eh?"
Leda tilted her head. "Brother?"
She could call him brother without any obstacles because Leda was already a very big person, especially after being with Kuro for a long time, she did not care about these family factors.
As she said, she was Flo Leda, but she also recognized her brother.
"Eight hundred million…"
Kuro is not short of money now. After being promoted, he is still the head of the base. Everything he wants is reimbursed by public funds. Developing a hot spring will not cost much. Even for Leda, she now takes care of her own food and drinks. Her salary is definitely enough.
But 800 million Berries was a huge sum.
Although they are not short of money, no one would mind having more money!
These are two straw hats!
"Eight hundred million!"
Leda also saw the promissory note and said happily, "If you have 800 million, you can eat whatever you want in the future. You can choose the best ingredients, the best food, and buy many beautiful things!"
"All for you."
Kuro smiled and rubbed Lida's head. "But I'm going to use a part of this money as an investment in Pegasus Town. I don't know how long it will take to get it just by relying on the tax of these residents."
He is now the same as Monca of the 153rd Division. As his Marine Station, the tax on Pegasus Island is naturally his own.
The tax on Marine Station is completely open to the World Government in this area, which is dominated by Marine.
"Eh? Give me control? So good?" Leda was a little stunned. She thought that Kuro would take the money. Anyway, she didn't care. Kuro wouldn't treat her badly.
"The money given by your brother is yours, of course. Why would I need so much money? As long as it's enough."
Eating, drinking, Marine bags, and asking for weapons, he eliminated Marine weapons quite quickly. Those that were eliminated were sent to the Vault of Heaven for him. With his status, he could pass instantly with a report.
His life needs were basically covered by Marines. His money was basically used to patronize the town, eat some food, buy a few more clothes for himself, and buy some accessories for Leda.
'Gold?'
How much is gold worth?
He is not as poor as pirates.
"As for you…"
Kuro looked at the stork and said, "What kind of world do you want to see, the waves? The sea? Or just let nature take its course."
Leda repeated what Kuro had said, because this woman, to adults and men, could not be heard clearly.
Stork thought for a moment and said, "I want to make a lot of dishes, but I'm not very interested in adventures on the sea. If I can make dishes safely and occasionally see the world, it's not bad."
"Then join the Marine. Your cooking is really good and I like to eat. I will give you a position."
Leda repeated what Kuro had said.
Pallas thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure, please guide me in the future."
She bowed gently to Kuro.
"Lida, show her around," Kuro said.
"Understood!"
Leda raised her hand and smiled at Stork. "Sister Stork, I'll take you to town and buy some ingredients. Today I want to eat Sister Stork's cooking."
The stork smiled. "Sure. I encountered some good spices on the merchant ship on the way here. I happened to buy some of those spices."
The two of them walked out. Suddenly, Leda came back and looked at Kuro carefully, making him feel strange. After that, Leda walked away.
"Sister Stork, accompany me to buy some clothes. I think Kuro seems to have grown taller recently…"
Leda walked out of the Marine base together, holding the arm of the stork.
As soon as he left, he slumped back in his chair, put his feet on the table, lit a cigar and smoked slowly.
"Tsk, my clothes are f*cking tight again. Have I been growing recently?"
As his legs moved, he felt that his clothes were a little tight. He was not fat, but simply tall, making his clothes seem a little small.
This is not the first time.
Kuro had also changed a lot of clothes during this period of time, and his previous clothes were all small.
With his current height, he would probably be about 2.45 meters tall, and it looks like he will be even longer.
"Hey! I also have the appearance of a powerhouse."
Kuro smiled and exhaled a cloud of smoke in satisfaction.
In this world, although a meter or so looks good, it is still a little lacking compared to the average height of two or three meters.
Although the word "strong" is not very auspicious in this world, Kuro can still accept it.
