Chapter 1240: NO.144: Who wouldn't want a proper swimsuit episode?

NO. 144: Who wouldn't want a proper swimsuit episode?

As for life, Aomo has a long-standing understanding: that the meaning of pursuing an action itself is quite empty.

Because in this world, many people's actions are not aimed at being meaningful.

Including himself, he often does things offhand, on a whim.

But if you truly ask him about the meaning of those actions, he can also pick out a few.

Likewise, it's offhand.

Because the meaning is right there.

Everything in this world is not lacking in meaning; as long as you break free from the framework of self-demand, you can see the value in many worthwhile aspects.

Meaning lies not in seeking, but in discovering.

This is precisely the foundation for cultivating adaptability.

When you can extract benefit from each thing you intentionally or unintentionally bring about, you will always have a few cards of meaningless☆meaning☆in your hand, becoming a miraculous tool that can be activated at special times.

——That's usually what having strong adaptability means.

Of course, timing is also important.

The pain of missing the activation point is understood by those who get it, and those who don't can pretend to understand, for that stubborn instinct to cover up adaptability failure is also part of the point.

Just like Huo'er Haiya now, though she walked away proud after accepting the commission, her smile when they met outside the hot spring today was not very confident and composed.

"Although it's a bit rushed, I must say your adaptability is outstanding—did you already have a leisure plan like this hot spring?" He slightly pushed up the sunglasses on his nose bridge, flashing a hint of dark red from the demon, looking at this feathered serpent in a green sheer dress-style swimsuit, embodying nobility, mystery, and charm, he generously raised his hand in a light clapping gesture, "Very charming, very fitting for you."

"Uh... thanks for the praise, but is it okay? Let me join." Compared to Aomo's candid gaze, even without doing the 'don't look at the challenge,' Huo'er Haiya looked at him, who casually threw on a vacation shirt and beach shorts, thereby revealing his clearly defined muscles, and she became a bit reserved.

Her reservation is certainly not because of the meeting place or their attire, but because she again showed weakness in front of him.

Or put another way, her ability is insufficient.

The commission she previously accepted—namely, the detailed review and pursuit of the case file data she had originally investigated and collected, narrowing the scope—

was not carried out ideally.

Admittedly, Huo'er Haiya's work attitude has always been problematic, which is well known; being unserious about certain commissions, saying yes but doing no, or even directly betraying them is not strange, yet she claimed she would earnestly carry out the work but failed to achieve even half the results, so she still had to come back to report……

For Sister Hai Zi, who from their first meeting got drunk and exposed weakness, and afterward always wanted to show her ability and value, it's hard to muster confidence.

Even if the other party made an invitation that seemed like a reward, she understood that he called her here to meet because he was in the middle of leisure with his girlfriend and students, and really couldn't get away.

After all, this person is someone who values work but also can't bear to ignore the feelings of those around him.

Because he couldn't get away, and he wasn't comfortable relying on electronic communication for gains, he simply got that side's group to agree and invited himself—Huo'er Haiya's information gathering on Aomo and those around him is spot-on, and her predictions are nearly always correct.

Naturally, there wasn't much of a pleasant surprise.

It was just that he happened to run into the timing of the swimsuit episode; even if he dressed nicely, the other's mind wasn't here.

"No problem, even if I don't know what agreement you reached, but since you've done it once before, replicating it isn't hard, right?" Aomo said lightly, his gaze from behind the sunglasses sweeping around as he turned his head, scanning the nearby guests whose looks were a bit unrestrained.

Aomo's mind wasn't on swimsuit appreciation, but most others' thoughts were here.

Ya Chen also has a Jidong-style hot spring as an outlying branch, even in Miss Qian's planned itinerary for tomorrow.

But where everyone currently is, it's still the local large public hot spring facility.

Treating it directly as a large swimming pool is also fine.

Perhaps, like other tourists sneaking in leisure during the weekend break, they are now showing a continuous stream.

"But tell me what resistance you've encountered—did you look at the list I sent you earlier? Is it related to them?"

He asked while casually scattering a little sound‑proofing trick; its effect in the crowd isn't ideal, but at least it can lower normal spoken voices to the level of mosquitoes.

In the crowd, having this effect is about as good as it gets, unless it's those distant Uma Musume and wolf girls.

In this bustling crowd, Huo'er Haiya and Aomo Lindun are somewhat noticeable, for even though facial optimization has become a social trend under pure technology and hard labor, maintaining body shape, physique, and skin quality remains costly.

Men and women like the feathered serpent and demon, as if walked out of a lab mod, may not be rare, but they are often seen on screen.

When the two appear together, they attract even more varied gazes, and besides that, there is also a piece of good news and a piece of bad news.

The good news is that not far away there are several girls pursuing different body‑type branches, quite excellent, who have absorbed much of the fervent attention.

The bad news is that they will soon come over and join up.

Before that, having also noticed Huo'er Haiya in the distance quicken her speech: "It's not them, it's the local Teqiju."

"Understood."

Aomo nodded.

Their mutual high‑level understanding of information meant he knew Huo'er Haiya's habitual reliance on illegal methods, so he naturally understood why Teqiju appeared in the current conversation.

"Then do you have another plan to switch to?"

"After looking at the power list you gave me, I have a new idea."

"If that's the case, we should leave midway."

"Then I might need some compensation."

"No, this is the task you originally didn't finish."

"Oh, how stingy."

"Getting the joke's degree right is also important, Miss Huo'er Haiya."

"What what? What are you talking about?"

Even though moving through the crowd is difficult, Miss Qian, who now counts as breaking through the encirclement, rushed over and gave Aomo's forearm a round of body‑check bumps.

"Oh! Hai Ya Sis looks great." The pink‑haired JK hugging her boyfriend's arm in the valley, looking left and right, "Everyone's looking."

"Maybe we should look for a quieter time late at night," Aomo sighed, letting out the breath he'd been holding for a while, "You say so? Today's especially cute Miss Qian."

"Today's little snake is also especially talkative," she casually patted her boyfriend's hard abs, hard to see under his usual stern attire, and as the itinerary planner, Miss Qian's face remained its usual cheerful smile, "But how could such a great figure be hidden away! At times like this, some people's expressions turn out quite nice!"

"With eyes already squinted, what's there to talk about expressions?" Saying nothing while watching this person's happy demeanor, Aomo then turned his gaze to several other women.

Clothing can reflect a person's character, and praising it is an essential courtesy for a gentleman; among them, the one he worried about most, Ailisuzhi, actually wore a swimsuit with size and style that seemed carefully chosen, which gave him a brief moment of feeling.

Thanks to that unknown helper who assisted in the selection—thank you.

"I feel like you're badmouthing me." The horse girl, meeting the trainer's gaze, raised an eyebrow.

"On the contrary, I was praising Miss Suzi's fashion sense; I thought you'd choose a competitive swimsuit like Bourbon's."

Although it's just a competitive swimsuit, the style with built-in glow strips is quite cyberpunk; as an Aomo team member whose competitive experience is second only to Aizhi's but whose competition stats are ahead, the horse girl also has outstanding Bourbon curve stats.

Perhaps due to the high-intensity training, besides her protruding front and curved back, she even has a mermaid line and abdominal lines that rival Qielienina's.

These two and Xi and Huoerhaiya formed two opposing factions, while Miss Suzi served as a subtle junction, drawing Aomo's gaze of "Perhaps later we should give her extra training."

"You're definitely badmouthing me this time, aren't you?!"

The eyes are the window to the soul; Miss Suzi has been staring at the trainer from behind the blinds.

"How is that possible? I just had a sudden thought that this could be used in swimming training."
