Thud thud thud. Ling Ping'an walked up the stairs.
Click!
The lights on the third floor were turned on.
Ling Ping'an pulled out a small oven in the corner.
This oven was bought from a street stall and only cost a few yuan.
In fact, he was just a tough iron sheet.
But the quality was very good. It had been used for many years and not even rust had appeared.
It was just that it had not been used for a long time and there was a lot of dust on it.
Ling Ping'an found a brush and brushed out all the dust inside. Then, he poured it into a garbage bag.
"I'll throw it away tomorrow morning..." Ling Ping'an said, "Put it into the trash can with the charcoal ash left over from the barbecue last time..."
After cleaning the barbecue oven, Ling Ping'an took another barbecue grill and washed it under the tap. He wiped it clean with a rag, then lit the charcoal fire and prepared to roast the mushrooms.
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, couldn't wait to squat in front of the oven.
Ling Ping'an shook his head and took out a mushroom from the basket.
"It's quite big!" Ling Ping'an looked at the mushroom and weighed it. It was about half a catty.
So, he went outside and rinsed the mushroom under the tap.
Then, he found a chopping board and placed the mushroom.
He raised his head and looked at the starry sky.
Tonight, the moon and stars were numerous. The starry sky was vast and beautiful!
Looking at the starry sky, Ling Ping'an was stunned.
"Where's the thick fog just now?" He was puzzled, "It dissipated so quickly?!"
But the truth was right in front of him. The thick fog just now had quietly dissipated at some point in time.
The moonlight shone on the ground. It was white. Even without turning on the lights, one could see the entire flat floor of the top floor and the tiles on the roofs of the surrounding houses clearly.
Bit by bit, things that flickered like fireflies hovered on the roof.
"It's so late and there's still someone playing with a drone?" Ling Ping'an didn't quite understand, but he still waved at the drone hovering above his head, "Hello!"
He guessed that it should be someone nearby who was operating it.
It might even be an acquaintance.
Therefore, he didn't think too much about it. He directly picked up a kitchen knife and began to slice the mushrooms under the light.
After cutting it open, the fragrance of the mushrooms gushed out.
"This must be a high-quality wild mushroom!" Ling Ping'an couldn't help but drool when he smelled the fragrance.
He carefully picked up the mushroom slice that had just been cut.
Because he was planning to roast the mushrooms, he cut them a little thicker.
But …
"How beautiful!" Ling Ping'an couldn't help but exclaim as he picked up the mushroom.
The mushroom slice in his hand was silvery white.
The mycelium was fine, and the meat was soft.
Most importantly … with a light pinch, a fragrant and sweet juice flowed out like grease.
He didn't even need to brush it with oil, he just needed to roast it!
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, rubbed against Ling Ping'an's trousers.
Tears were about to flow out of its mouth.
"Little sweetheart, don't be anxious. Wait for Big Brother to cut it before roasting it!"
… …
Situ He raised his head in a daze and stared at the screen.
"What is he doing?" Situ He asked the person beside him.
"He seems to be cutting something!" the supervisor replied.
"I know!" Situ He was anxious. "What is he cutting?!"
The target on the screen had his back to the surveillance camera.
But the drone camera above "His" head clearly captured what was placed in front of "Him": a magnificent, resplendent, and sometimes hidden in nothingness with a five-colored aura flowing around it.
The knife in "His" hand cut "That thing".
Under the high-definition camera, a golden, oily liquid that looked like high-grade honey flowed out.
"Knife by knife, he cut it small.
Soon, on the chopping board in front of him, pieces of unknown golden liquid flowed from time to time, and sometimes hidden in nothingness, were neatly stacked.
"It seems to be some kind of mushroom!" Finally, someone came to a conclusion after careful identification.
Hearing that, Situ He nodded. "It's a mushroom!"
But the problem was …
Where did this mushroom come from?
No one knew!
No one would know!
And the target had not gone out since yesterday.
The surveillance showed that the target had closed the door yesterday.
He only opened after 10 o 'clock this morning.
What did he do during this period of time?
No one knew!
That was the most terrible thing!
"The heavy rain and typhoon in Nanyang suddenly stopped this morning..." Situ He thought to himself and guessed, "Could it be related to the target?!"
"Also, the phenomenon at Mopan Mountain this afternoon... could it be related to him?!"
Situ He didn't know, but he could only try his best to guess and make connections.
If it was all related to him …
Situ He knew that it was going to be fun.
Because it showed a fact: as long as he was willing, even if he sat at home, he could influence and control the fate of the world!
The scene on the screen continued.
Piece after piece of 'mushroom slices' intertwined between nothingness and reality were placed on the grill of an oven.
The flames rose.
The faint blue color was especially dazzling under the drone's lens.
As the mushroom slices were roasted, they quickly changed color.
Gradually, under the lens of the camera, they turned into pieces of divine objects that shone like stars and shone resplendently.
He happily picked up a piece with his chopsticks and threw it into his mouth.
Kacha Kacha!
The golden juice exploded under the high-definition camera.
Then …
The little black cat lying beside him was also given a piece!
The little cat bit the mushroom and took big bites.
But obviously, he could not eat cleanly like his master.
He could only eat bit by bit carefully.
While he was chewing, a thin vine stretched out from nowhere.
In the camera, everyone saw this thin vine surrounding the kitten. Little by little, it picked up the crumbs that fell from the corner of the kitten's mouth as if it was intelligent.
No one could see clearly how the vine ate.
Because its speed was beyond imagination!
… …
"Delicious!" Ling Ping 'an chewed the mushroom slices in his mouth, his mouth full of sweetness.
When this mushroom was bitten, it could actually burst out a delicious oily substance like meat!
This was a pleasant surprise!
It was much better than eating meat!
Therefore, he couldn't stop at all.
Pieces of fragrant, golden, and crispy mushrooms were continuously thrown into his mouth.
Soon, there was nothing left on the grill.
"I'm done!" Ling Ping 'an patted his stomach.
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, also meowed as if she hadn't had enough.
"Little darling, we'll use the remaining mushrooms next time when we cook something delicious..." Ling Ping 'an stroked the little guy's head. "Now..."
"Let's take a sip each and try the taste of the guest's rice wine..."
He walked into the room and picked up the bottle of rice wine on the slow oven. He opened the cork and poured about five milliliters into a cup.
Then, he gently put it to his mouth and took a sip.
It was refreshing in the mouth. There was no spiciness at all. Instead, it had a strong fragrance.
The fragrance was very strong. In an instant, his mouth was completely occupied by it.
The best thing was that the moment it entered his throat, his entire body felt as if it had become lighter!
"Good stuff!" Ling Ping 'an drank all the wine in one gulp.
So, he poured himself another cup!
This time, it was a large cup, at least 20 milliliters!
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, begged anxiously at his feet.
"Little darling..." Ling Ping 'an squatted down and casually picked up a disposable cup on the slow oven. He gave it about half of it.
It immediately leaned its head over, stuck out its tongue, and sucked.
"My cat not only likes to drink tea, but also likes to drink wine..." Ling Ping 'an looked at its silly look, raised his wine cup, and took a sip. "How interesting!"
He felt a little tipsy.
His cheeks began to turn red, and his body seemed to be a little shaky.
It looked like the wine was very good.
But it was very intoxicating!
Ling Ping 'an held his wine cup and walked out of the door.
He shook his head and turned off the lights outside.
He raised his head and saw that the drone seemed to have flown back above his head.
"My alcohol tolerance..." Ling Ping 'an shook his head and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.
Then, he walked back into the house, picked up his pet with one hand, and carried the wine bottle and the mushrooms in the basket with the other as he walked down the stairs.
… …
Looking at the tightly closed door on the roof.
Situ He swallowed his saliva.
"What did he drink just now?" Situ He asked.
But no one could answer.
Because the liquid he drank was definitely not something that humans could recognize.
Although it was only a quick glance.
However, the dark green light that was like an olive had countless golden threads hanging within it.
Just a glance was unforgettable!
Especially the transcendent being present, they all felt an impulse from the depths of their souls!
"Can't anyone know?" Situ He asked.
To him, the most painful thing was that he didn't even know what the target was eating and drinking!
This made him seem like an ancient person who had transmigrated to the present world hundreds of years ago.
Looking at the high-rise buildings, planes, and ships, he thought that he had come to heaven and witnessed the world of immortals and gods.
No...
It should be an ant that had finally gained sentience after a long period of cultivation.
Therefore, looking at the food and clothing of humans, none of them could understand.
In an instant, he felt endless inferiority!
Because, he finally knew that the things that he had worked so hard, risked his life to fight for were just trash that humans abandoned and didn't want.
That was the feeling!
It was a kind of shock facing a hyperdimensional life!
To Situ He, everything about him was not only mysterious.
It was also full of a new and subversive understanding!
"I think..." finally, a staff member raised his hand weakly. "What the target just drank was probably the legendary Emperor Molasses..."
Legend had it that the Emperor Molasses was a top-notch divine object in the world!
Even if it was a plant, just a little bit of it could awaken its intelligence!
Situ He replayed the glimpse he had just taken.
Then, he nodded. "Let's name this thing after the Emperor Molasses!"
"File it and list it as top secret!"
