I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything-Chapter 378 - 378 Churros
378 Churros
Dark clouds loomed over the sunny blue sky, which happened to block the sun. And the wind became faster and chilly. Trees swayed due to the strong wind.
TIK! TIK! TIK!
The sound of rain echoed in every part of the city as hundreds or thousands of water vapors dropped to the ground from the dark sky.
Fein tugged the white curtain on the small curtain of the carriage. He watched as the rain gradually turn the road wet. His hair flew upward, blown by the strong wind. And he could feel the cold sensation of the breeze.
‘Why did it suddenly rain? What is the sudden change in the weather? Damn, I still said that it was a good day, and then it became like this? I shouldn’t have jinxed it.’ Fein sighed, he lean on his arms and looked at the people on the road with umbrellas in their hands.
He saw a lot of children bathe in the rain with smiles on their faces as the carriage he rode passed on one street after another. Such a scene made Fein smile, as it reminded him of his past life when he would bathe in a strong typhoon with happiness.
Typhoons plague his country, the Philippines. Yet people had still the guts to enjoy them even amidst the crisis it brought. A lot of people died because of the typhoon and lost their homes.
Fein woke up in his daze as he heard the blaring loud sound of the train from the train station. ‘How nostalgic. I wonder if they already elected a different president?’
After all, before he transmigrated. He remembered that Rodrigo Duterte was the president, and he was nearing his last term.
.....
‘Well, it has nothing to do with me now.’
Just the thought of this. He turned his head to the train station where people lined up. The place was so crowded it could result in a stampede with a slight push and panic. Some of the people had wet clothes due to the persistent rain which gradually flooded the streets.
“Damn, this city had a poor drainage system,” Fein muttered. His breath had already produced a white mist. If not for his particularly strong body, he would have been the same as the people lined up in the train station, trembling from the cold.
“Well, we can’t do anything. We are in YDO city... The road of this place had always been bad. That’s why my fellow drivers hate taking this route. Just like that you saw earlier, the road has a lot of unnecessary humps, and a slight rain always floods it because it’s a low-lying area.” f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
“Is that so? Well, we’re already close to my destination. I could bear with it. I’m more curious about why there’s such a large crown on the train station?”
“Hmm... Yup, you’re already close to your destination. But I must remind you that it would be dangerous to go to such a desolate rain. What’s more, it’s raining...” The voice of the driver from the outside entered Fein’s ears. But the driver isn’t done talking. “You have to know that the place you are going is nothing but mountains and forest. As for your question... Well, there’s only one train station in this city. That’s why people from different streets and avenues had to come here just to go to their work.”
“Well, thanks for satiating my curiosity,” Fein responded. “Don’t worry about me. I know what I’m doing. Much appreciated, though.”
He was aware that the driver of the carriage was just worried about his safety. And this kind of personality is quite rare. Just a single reminder could save a person’s life. After all, his laboratory was a place filled with danger.
The mountains had beasts lurking at night. He even saw a swamp that houses red crocodiles, not to say, the poisonous snakes he deliberately placed on all sides of the forest. Just one step in that forest is already equivalent to death for a normal person.
Fein thought of the snakes as his outside security system. He experimented with those snakes and genetically altered their strengths so their poison, dexterity, and flexibility had reached a supernatural level.
After all, if there’s an inside security system. It’s also reasonable to have an outside one, right? As for what if there are innocent people that will be implicated... Well, there’s no one with the right mind and enough experience that would go to that kind of place, right?
Even if some people come to this place, they would be hunters hoping to profit. And Fein didn’t actually care if a person dies on his outside security system. Because the cause of their death would be their stupidity.
“Well, we’re here.”
A few minutes later, Fein heard the driver’s voice... The door of his carriage opened, and he heard steady footsteps outside.
Fein got out of the carriage. Then he saw the desolate mountains. One won’t even see a trace of activity in the area.
“Well, thanks for your service.”
“Hmmm... You can still change your mind, ya know. Just being in this place gives me chills.”
Fein stared at the middle-aged uncle in front of him. The guy has a few white stands on his thick black hair, and even then, he has a large build. The thick coat he wears couldn’t hide the bulging muscles under it. Yet, he was sure that the driver in front of him wasn’t a degu user or anything.
“What’s your name?”
“Churros.”
“Well, you’re a good guy.” Fein had a smile on his face. “Hmmm... Are you a mercenary in the past??”
Churros’ eyes widened, and he looked at Fein with a gaze that looked as if he saw a ghost. He couldn’t speak for a while and he just stood stunned in his position.
Fein smirked. “Well, don’t be so surprised. I guessed that I already met a lot of people that made had this intuition. Moreover, I can read it just by your temperament and movements. After all, one won’t be able to completely erases the habits that they had in the past.”
“Well, what can I say?” Churros sighed. “You have pair of sharp eyes.”
