Longshan Fang lowered his head and looked at a box of freshly salted edamame, a box of braised pig trotters, and a pot of cold tea in front of him.
After wiping his hands, he clasped his hands together and said seriously,
"I'm going to start."
Taking the chopsticks offered by Cao Gu, he took the lead and picked up a piece of plump pig trotters, including the skin and bones. The juices dripped down, reflecting the mouth-watering color.
He gulped down and chewed.
He was stunned for a moment, then picked up two more edamame and tasted it carefully.
Finally, he put down his chopsticks, picked up the tea, and raised his head … This time, he didn't stop after tasting it. Instead, he gulped down the two cups of tea like a whale swallowing.
Even when it was empty, he still shook the bottle and caught the last drop, as if he hadn't had enough.
Holding the empty bottle, he fell into a long silence.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's so beautiful, Huai Shi -kun … Even if I don't hesitate to fall into the devil's path in pursuit of the ultimate delicious taste, I can still feel the beautiful feelings in it."
He paused for a moment and said, "You're really an enviable person."
"You flatter me."
Although he said so, Huai Shi didn't humble himself this time. Instead, he smiled and accepted all the praise.
"Then, I'll accept it shamelessly."
Longshan Fang bent down and solemnly picked up the food box. He got up from the tatami and took two steps back, "You two have a good chat. Cao Gu, serve the tea."
Soon, the paper door closed, and the room returned to silence.
Yuan Zhao, who was picking his teeth with a toothpick, rolled his eyes, "You're finally done showing off to each other?"
"This is called sharing delicious food, you know nothing!"
Huai Shi rolled his eyes, "How can I be like you, stuffing like a pig? You'll die from overeating … "
"Hey, it's barely enough."
Yuan Zhao grinned, "I've been growing recently, what do you know?"
"Second stage of puberty?" Huai Shi was stunned. She could feel the power of money. "Your family is really willing to spend a lot of money."
"The blessings from the Dragon's Pool Secret Ritual were all earned by myself. Why would I need to rely on others?" Yuan Zhao said, "I'm going to break through soon. Don't be left behind by me."
"Isn't that too soon?"
Huai Shi shook his head, "Shouldn't you accumulate more Origin Substance?"
"Thanks to you holding me back last time, I've already completely transformed. Right now, quality, quality, not quantity of Origin Substance doesn't have any effect on breaking through."
Yuan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "After I break through, I'll be able to play with cousin.
"Oh, then say hello for me." Huai Shi didn't seem to understand what he meant at all. She earnestly said, "If possible, can you help me ask if there's anything I can do to help? I owe her a big favor."
"… … …"
Yuan Zhao was disappointed that he didn't see Wu Neng's enraged and jealous expression, but he still nodded reluctantly, "I'll ask for you … … but don't think too much. Cousin doesn't lack anything, and even if she did, you wouldn't be able to help."
"Who knows, right?" Huai Shi laughed, "Even if it's a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, I won't hesitate."
"Tsk, you're really putting in a lot of effort!"
"I'm just repaying a debt of gratitude. How is it that I'm a scumbag now? Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about my character?"
"… … Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Yuan Zhao shook his head and sighed, "I was lucky to have met you this time. Last time, I was too suicidal and was watched closely by my family. I couldn't even leave the house. Now that I'm finally out, I have to be accompanied by trash who only knows how to play with women every day. It's so annoying."
"You're all here on vacation?"
"That's right. Cousin recently finished her studies at Jixia University, and before she went to school, a few of her classmates urged her to come out and play together … … That idiot Wang Xu's eyeballs almost fell under her feet, and Feng Chu … tsk tsk, both of them don't know what's good for them. If I knew her true colors, I don't know how I'd be played to death. "
Yuan Zhao seemed to have been traumatized by his cousin, and he couldn't help but tremble as he spoke of this. Soon after, he shook his head frantically, "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this … … Are you also here to play?"
"I'm trying my luck to find an advancement material." Huai Shi shrugged, "I'm all alone and can only be a tool in the Astronomy Society. How can I compare to the treatment of the Dongxia branch? I can only work hard."
"Hehe."
Yuan Zhao sneered and rolled his eyes out of habit.
Did he not know how developed Huai Shi was now?
He was practically the only seedling in the Dongxia branch, the number one rising star of the new generation. It was said that even the headquarters of the Central Bureau paid attention to him and treasured him to no end.
As long as Huai Shi asked for an advancement material, would the Central Bureau not be willing to give it to him? They would probably give him two sets of everything. Moreover, didn't the Giant Goose sponsor the Rookie Competition prize?
Only a fool would believe him.
Huai Shi was still crying out of habit, "When I go out for a trip, I have to buy a standing ticket. How can it be as good as your luxury box? I had to sit on a folding stool all the way from Shicheng to here. My ass must have been skinned … … "
"Wait, where are you talking about?"
Yuan Zhao was stunned for a moment before his eyes widened, "Shicheng?"
"That's right, what's wrong?"
"… … Then you're really lucky."
Yuan Zhao's expression became strange. He picked up his phone, flipped through it a few times, and handed it to him.
Tomorrow's news headlines in Asia.
"Emergency Rescue: Shicheng Evacuation"!
"What the hell?" Huai Shi was stunned. "Evacuate?"
"That's right, calculating the time … … Well, it should have started right after you got on the bus, right?"
Yuan Zhao pinched his chin and said, "It's said that there's an irreversible deterioration. Currently, 410,000 people are being evacuated. In about 16 hours, Shicheng will begin to sink and be submerged by the endless sea … …"
？？？
It really sank!
A hundred thousand question marks rose from Huai Shi's head. He snatched Yuan Zhao's phone and looked at it carefully. He still couldn't believe it.
There wasn't much free content mentioned in the news. Most of it had to be paid for.
It only said that Shicheng's central frame was damaged. The rules set during the update conflicted with the previous creator's, causing a vicious bug that caused gravity overflow.
It was the worst possibility of one in a hundred thousand.
Before they could react, it had already spread to the entire city, causing the internally locked frame to enter a state of overload. Fortunately, it was discovered early and was discovered during a temporary patrol. Otherwise, who knew how many people would have died.
410,000 people … … A total of 410,000 people had brushed past death.
Huai Shi felt her hair stand on end as she watched.
Thinking of what he said before, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This Shicheng … … wouldn't be killed by his flag, right?
"Maybe it's possible?" Crow said, "Look at this Stellaris. Isn't it also on the sea? What if … …"
"Don't say it!"
When he thought of an explosion or other messy things on the Stellaris, Huai Shi's vehicle began to have PTSD.
He narrowly stopped Crow from planting the flag at the last moment. He took a deep breath and said to Yuan Zhao who was at a loss, "Do you know that I might have just saved the entire Stellaris?"
"… …"
Yuan Zhao rolled his eyes, "I believe it, I believe it, okay? You saved 120,000 passengers. The Astronomy Society is awesome. Huai Shi is awesome! "
Huai Shi decided not to argue with this silly child.
He would go back and practice kitten. He would open a poop-inserting class and send this child for training … … He was so honest when he was working, but now he was annoying when he was free.
He couldn't keep him anymore.
"Speaking of which, you're staying at the concert hall tonight?"
"Ah, I just checked. The accommodation of the disaster musicians in all the branches seems to be free, and they just sent a message saying that my cello will be repaired in two days. They will send it directly to me in two days, saving me the trouble of making another trip."
Huai Shi turned on his phone and checked the message sent by the musician. After confirming the time, he paid the balance.
More than four million US dollars.
His hands were trembling when he counted the payment.
It was equivalent to using broken diamonds to inlay the entire body of the cello.
Although the price of this nostalgia was slightly high, Huai Shi didn't say anything when he thought of how his teacher used to take care of him. Perhaps apart from Ai Qing, this cello that she gave him was her most precious treasure.
No matter what, Huai Shi had to take good care of it.
.
After settling one of his worries, Huai Shi began to look forward to the next itinerary.
It was his first long-distance trip. After getting rid of the inexplicable sense of crisis, everything was fresh.
It was a pity that this was not a holy place for recuperation or vacation.
Once a year, the 'Stellaris' would sail across the Endless Sea. In terms of scenery, there was nothing special about it. Of course, there would not be any lofty mountains or precipitous ridges inside. In particular, there were no stations along the way. They would only stop at the sea to welcome passengers on board, so there was no need to talk about getting on and off to enjoy the beautiful scenery of various places.
In addition to the unique charm of the train, it only had one irreplaceable advantage.
It was tax-free.
That's right, there was no tax at all. It was impossible for any lineage or power to extract any tax from the transaction of goods.
Even the train operator itself would not charge a cent more than the fixed booth fee.
Thanks to the strength and means of the operator, no matter where the goods came from, or what kind of treasure was obtained from hell, as long as it could be transported here, then it was a commodity that could be sold openly.
The entire Stellaris was a large black market in East Asia that was held once a year.
Just thinking about how huge the amount of money flowing here at all times made him feel a little suffocated.
Not only smuggled goods and illegal goods, but major workshops and enterprises would also hold a wave of promotions at this time of the year. Excluding the border tax that sometimes went as high as 300% and the hidden exploitation of the various pedigrees, some of the goods sold here were no longer cheap but cheap. They could be described as the price of a drop off the building.
Although there were crooks mixed in with honest folks and huge scams occurred every year, as long as one was careful, they could still find a lot of good stuff.
No wonder so many tourists flocked to this place. After understanding the situation, even Huai Shi could not help but want to pick up some scraps.
Moreover, this was a good opportunity to get rid of the set of folding knives …
Thinking of the small amount of money that was waving at him, Huai Shi's mood suddenly became cheerful.
