Druid's Marvel Travels

Chapter 21 Exploring the Store, Exploring the Cat

Coulson's complexion became extremely exciting, while Melinda, who was pretending to be admiring the green plants, blushed slightly.

Rao, an experienced S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, also lost his composure slightly by Zhang's words.

What the famous playboy Tony Stark did before has been spread in various news media.

How could they, as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, not know?
It's just that they never imagined that there are such twists and turns!
No wonder Tony Stark walked away from the store just now, taking the female assistant with him!
However, as expected of senior agents with a strong heart, Coulson and Melinda soon came to their senses.

Melinda cast a look of embarrassment at the happy Zhang, and went to the direction of the rest area in an upright manner.

On the other hand, Coulson gave Zhang a look that "men can understand", and then showed approval on his face:

"It seems that there are unexpected gains...won't the price increase?"

"Of course not. Five thousand knives, the price remains the same. This is just a way of using it that has not been made public before. After all..."

Zhang touched his chin with a serious face:
"The boss likes to give customers some surprises, because this is a pure natural plant essence, no matter how much you toss it, it will not be harmful."

"It was a big surprise."

Coulson took out his credit card, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out another finger:
"one more bottle."

Anyway, it's the mission period now, and the needs of these missions can be reimbursed, so fools don't want it!

"readily!"

Zhang took out another bottle of recovery potion, packed it together with the previous bottle in a small delicate box, put another small card in it, wrapped it up, put it on the counter, and pushed it to Coulson.

"Sincerely [-] knives~, the instructions for use are on the card, and I look forward to your development of new effects!"

"..."

The corner of Coulson's mouth twitched. The two bottles were handed in one by one, and the other bottle was used for human experimentation by himself, otherwise there would be no way of reimbursement.

"By the way, isn't Dr. Lin here? I really want to see him in person."

In fact, for this mission, Nick Fury gave Coulson permission. If he passed the face-to-face assessment of Oakes, he could directly reveal his identity to him in order to obtain... the cat's detailed information.

But if Oakes goes out, there is nothing he can do, so he can only look at the cat first.

"Oh, Mr. Oakes, he went to the Amazon rainforest for a field trip three days ago, and he may not be back until a week later."

Zhang quickly swiped his card and pushed the POS machine in front of Coulson. While the latter entered the password, he raised his eyebrows:
"Amazon? Ah, the samples Dr. Lin posted on the forum last time also aroused the interest of many botanists."

Coulson didn't expect to go so far. Their investigation showed that Oakes hadn't even left the house these days.

"Are you a botanist too?"

Zhang was respectful, he was just a graduate student, but the other party might be a long-established scientist.

"Hehe, I heard from my friend."

Coulson glanced at Melinda who seemed to have succeeded, and smiled slightly:
"It seems May likes your cat very much, can I go and see it?"

"Of course, Gu Gu is very obedient and very smart. She is a lovely girl."

Seeing Coulson strolling towards the rest area, Zhang touched the place where Gugu had scratched his face with some guilt, and hurried to prepare Oaks' special coffee.

In the rest area, Melinda is teasing Gu Gu, one person and one cat seem very harmonious.

"Mei, where did you get the cat teaser?"

Coulson twitched his lips when he saw what was on May's left hand. What's so special about this cat?

"Just put it on the sofa. For such an unknown target, of course it is safer to use props, right?"

Concealedly showing the tiny camera device on her right hand to Coulson, Melinda kept smiling:

"Director Fury just let us observe? Nothing else?"

"That's it."

Coulson held the small box containing the recovery potion in his left hand, glanced at Zhang who was preparing coffee, sat down on the sofa, brushed the bottom of the sofa with his right hand inadvertently, and whispered:
"It seems that this Dr. Oaks Lin is not as simple as it is in the information."

"Have you found anything?"

Melinda didn't stop her hands, but frowned slightly, because she found that when she said "Director Ferry" just now, the orange cat in front of her seemed to pause for a moment.

Maybe I read it wrong?

But the camera can't make a mistake, just go back and look at it.

She had no intention of saying it again, because Zhang had already come over with two cups of coffee.

"Ma'am, sir, please, this is the boss's special coffee, which is exclusively for customers who purchase recovery potions~"

The wonderful fragrance caused Coulson and Melinda to turn their attention to it at the same time.

"Is coffee available?"

After taking a sip, Coulson's eyes lit up. Compared with this, the coffee of S.H.I.E.L.D. is...

Glancing at Cuckoo, he came to the same conclusion as Tony.

"Not for sale, but we have a 100g bonus pack if you like it."

"Thank you so much."

Coulson smiled, and Melinda, who is Asian, is not as obsessed with coffee as Coulson:
"Dr. Lin is really versatile, and it is said that people who raise cats are very caring."

"Yes, Mr. Oakes is very caring. If he hadn't saved me at that time, I'm afraid I haven't found a place to live now."

With a self-deprecating smile, Zhang revealed the dark history of looking for a house when he first came, probably because he felt kind to Melinda?He couldn't help it again:
"I probably don't know why after so many years, there are still shadows everywhere under this bright light."

"..."

Coulson looked blank:
"what did he say?"

"He agrees with me that the NYPD guys should resign en masse."

Melinda couldn't help laughing, the foreign student was so interesting, but fortunately her Chinese was not lost.

"Goooo~ There are delicious food upstairs~ It's on the table in my brother's room!"

Zhang's forehead was a little sweaty, because he saw that Melinda was probably having a good chat, and he was no longer satisfied with the cat teaser, and planned to start directly.

But that's not the point, the point is that he seems a little impatient when he sees Googoo...

Although he wondered why Cuckoo had a different attitude today, but he had seen Cuckoo showing great power with his own eyes, so he quickly dismissed Cuckoo.

"Meow~"

Gu Gu glanced at Zhang, yawned, and walked towards the stairs with cat steps.

Zhang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he thought his perfect acting skills, in front of the two seventh-level agents, were almost the same as writing "I have a problem" on his face.

Their eyes can analyze information frame by frame.

Looking at each other, Melinda nodded slightly, and Coulson drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp, got up and stretched out his hand:
"It's time for us to leave. Although it's a pity not to see Dr. Lin, you are undoubtedly excellent as a clerk. Also, the coffee is great."

"Ah, thanks."

Zhang got up and shook hands with Coulson:
"Wait a minute, I'll get the coffee beans."

Coulson took the small box of recovery medicine and the small bag of coffee beans, bid farewell to Zhang, and went out with Melinda.

"Mei, it seems that the task is not over yet, the focus will be a week later."
