When he sat in his aunt's car and drove out of the Luming Villa.
Only then did Ling Ping'an realize that this place was actually a hot spring villa.
He didn't notice it when he came in, but when he went out, he realized that the area of the hot spring villa was huge.
He took out his phone and looked at the navigation map.
Ling Ping'an suddenly realized that he was in the southeast of the imperial capital, in Mount Tang.
"Tangshan..." Ling Ping'an put down his phone, "This is the place where the Tangshan Conference is held?"
The Tangshan Conference was a world-wide financial and economic summit held a hundred years ago.
After this meeting, the Ministry of Finance of the Federal Empire and the finance ministers of the participating countries reached the Tangshan Treaty.
According to the treaty, the currency of the Federal Empire would be separated from gold.
Anchored commodities instead.
The currencies of the participating countries were still anchored to the Hua Yuan.
This was the start of the era of credit currency.
This was a chapter from a middle school history textbook.
"Here!" Li An'an smiled and pointed, "Over there is the site of the Tangshan Conference!"
Ling Ping'an looked over and found a large stone tablet standing beside a road. There was a stone inscription on it: Tang Mountain World Conference Ruins.
Ling Ping'an chuckled and gently stroked the cat in his arms.
He didn't know why, but when he saw the stone tablet, he felt a little dazed.
It felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before?
Vaguely, there seemed to be a buzzing sound in his ears.
The sound was extremely strange. It sounded like intermittent radio waves, similar to some kind of electromagnetic signal.
However, Ling Ping'an felt that he could understand.
It was very familiar, as familiar as a mother tongue.
Thus, he subconsciously revealed the meaning of the signal.
"If you can't see it, it's called Yi. If you don't hear it, it's called Xi. If you can't fight it, it's called Wei …"
Ling Ping'an was stunned.
Li An'an and Chu Weiwei were also stunned.
"Ping'an, why are you reciting the Tao Te Ching?" Li An'an rebuked, "You almost made me turn the steering wheel wrong!"
Ling Ping'an's eyes suddenly opened up. He didn't know when, but the car had already driven out of the mountain area and entered the ring highway.
In his arms, the kitten Bastet meowed softly.
Ling Ping'an chuckled, "Aunty, Miss Chu, I'm sorry, I was lost in thought!"
Li An'an shook her head and felt a little helpless towards Ling Ping'an.
Chu Weiwei smiled kindly and said gently, "It's okay, Young Master Ling!"
Ling Ping'an hugged his cat and couldn't help but wonder in the front passenger seat.
It seemed like Little Aunt and her colleagues didn't hear the strange sound he heard just now.
Therefore …
"Am I hallucinating?" He blinked.
That was the only explanation.
"There have been a lot of strange things lately!" he thought.
So, he took out his phone and said, "Let's read on WeChat Read!"
… …
Shang Juan led his men around the vicinity of the Swallow Inn, searching.
However, after searching for a long time, he did not find the person that Lu Qiu had mentioned, who was not tall, dressed shabbily, and had a cat with him. He was suspected to be someone from Jiangcheng City.
Left with no choice, they could only think of a way to search for it in the accommodation area of Yan Lou.
All kinds of excuses and methods appeared.
He relied on his connections and used the pretense of 'visiting' a friend.
They searched floor by floor.
He searched all the way to the eighth floor, but he didn't find anything.
Therefore …
Shang Juan looked at the elevator.
"There's one more floor …" He raised his head, but he didn't dare to go up.
This was because the ninth floor was a place where only members of the royal family could stay.
Nine is the extreme of numbers.
The ninth floor of the Swallow Inn was especially special.
Because this was the Luming Villa.
You You Deer Cry, eating wild apples, I have guests, the Deer Cry Villa with the lute and flute.
In the Federal Empire, the word 'Yan' had a special meaning.
For example, the Imperial Cabinet Office Building was called the Empire State Building.
The Empire State Building was divided into two parts, the Zhou Building in the south and the Yan Building in the north.
They corresponded to the central and local areas.
It was the same for the National Security Department of the Federal Empire. Zhou Lou was the central security, and Yan Lou was the local security.
The headquarters of the Empire's Homeland Garrison Command was located in Bei Du, also known as Yan Ji in ancient times.
The National Strategic Defense Headquarters was located in Luoyang, the ancient city of Zhou.
Therefore, the Yan Lou was actually the Zhao Gong Lou.
It corresponded to the local forces.
Those who could live on the ninth floor must be existences that the Federal Empire thought could be on equal footing or even surpass.
In history, Frederick, the ruler of Prussia in the Land of Qin, came to visit. The place where he gave a speech was the Yan Tower of the Council of Ministers.
When Grand Secretary Newton came to China, the hotel he stayed in was called Yanjing Hotel.
The clothes he brought from Butania were called 'Tuxedo' by Taizong.
Only the name and the weapon could not be fake!
In the Federal Empire, details were very important.
Therefore, he was not qualified to go up to the ninth floor.
Shang Juan was blinking his eyes when he saw the elevator going down.
Someone came down from the ninth floor. He quickly pressed the button.
The elevator door opened.
He looked into the elevator. It was a young girl.
She was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was dressed in traditional Xinluo clothes and looked simple and elegant.
When she saw him, the young girl immediately retreated to the side of the elevator.
Shang Juan\'s heart skipped a beat. He walked in and greeted the young girl, "Hello!"
"Hello, Young Master!" The other party bowed gracefully.
"Miss, it\'s been hard for you to serve the mighty figures of our country!"
The young girl nodded slightly, "I don\'t dare to say that it\'s hard to serve the heroes of our country..."
Shang Juan was overjoyed, "As expected, Young Master X lives on the ninth floor!"
Yin Mingxiu was also overjoyed, "As expected, the one I serve is a true mighty figure..."
She recalled the young master she had seen.
He was easy-going, humble, dressed simply, had elegant manners, and had a graceful demeanor...
"Fan Wenzheng said,\ 'Worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world later.\' He\'s probably talking about that young master, right?" Thinking of this, Yin Mingxiu was full of fighting spirit.
"Young master has no time for himself..."
"So... I must serve him well!"
The elevator door opened.
The two of them, who had their own thoughts, walked in two different directions.
… …
Li An\ 'an drove the car and entered the city from the Ring Expressway.
Then, she found a parking lot in front of the most prosperous Rende Building in the center of the imperial city.
After parking the car, Li An\ 'an took out a bank card from her body and handed it to Chu Weiwei.
"Weiwei, please help him choose his clothes..." Li An\ 'an smiled knowingly, "I still have a mission in the bureau!"
Chu Weiwei was caught off guard by this sudden attack, "Captain... I don\'t know how to choose..."
Li An\ 'an smiled and said, "Weiwei! I trust your foresight! "
As she spoke, she began to chase them away, "Hurry up and go buy clothes!"
"I\'ll come and pick you up when you get off work!"
As she spoke, she looked at her watch, "Weiwei, hurry up. If you delay work, the higher-ups will blame you!"
Chu Weiwei had no choice but to nod, "Then I\'ll do my best!"
Ling Ping\ 'an shook his head, knowing what his aunt meant.
He knew that his aunt was forcing a match.
But the problem was...
He got out of the car and looked at Miss Chu. He smiled apologetically, "Sigh, my aunt has been like this since she was young... I hope Miss Chu can be magnanimous!"
Chu Weiwei smiled. She was used to it, "It\'s okay, the captain likes to joke!"
"I\'ll take you to buy clothes first!" Chu Weiwei said as she held the bank card in her hand. To be honest, a high-ranking officer of the Blackguard no longer needed to consider things like money.
What was really valuable in the Blackguard was points.
For example, after Li An\ 'an broke through to major, the Blackguard directly rewarded her with five million yuan. They also gave her a 140-square-meter house in the imperial capital, which was worth more than 20 million yuan.
There was no need to mention Chu Weiwei herself. The Chu family of Qingcheng Mountain had transcendents for generations.
Her family was extremely rich. Ever since she was young, she did not need to worry about money.
As long as she needed it, she could book the entire shopping mall with a single phone call and shop at will.
However, considering that the captain\'s nephew seemed to know nothing about the transcendent being world.
Chu Weiwei did not intend to disturb him.
After all, the world of the transcendent being was too dangerous and cruel.
Ling Ping\ 'an sighed and said in a negotiating tone, "Miss Chu, can we buy some clothes and find a coffee shop to sit down and kill time?"
Chu Weiwei shook her head, "That won\'t do!"
"I don\'t dare to not complete what the captain has instructed me to do!"
The Blackguard was a military organization.
In the army, obeying orders was their duty!
Ling Ping\ 'an sighed and couldn\'t help but droop.
Shopping...
An incomparably terrifying shopping!
He recalled the painful memories of shopping with his aunt in the past.
They shopped for a day and tried on thousands of clothes.
In the end, they bought two pieces...
But...
Considering that if he refused, his aunt would probably come back immediately.
He could only nod, "Then, Miss Chu, please don\'t pick too many..."
Chu Weiwei smiled and was extremely happy, "Definitely!"
Speaking of which, this was the first time she had helped someone of a different surname buy clothes.
"Let\'s go!" She said heartily, "I\'ll take you to the Renyi Building to shop!"
Even if she was a transcendent being, even if she had experienced countless dangers and horrors in the Nightmare World.
She still had a fanatical interest in shopping.
Because it was their nature!
Women's shopping was the same as men's gaming. It was innate regardless of social class or education level.
Then, he brought Ling Ping'an to the bustling Renyi Building in front of him.
Upon entering the building, there were many exquisite jewelry shops.
After passing through the jewelry store, there was a clothing store in front.
Each and every sign dazzled one's eyes.
Ling Ping'an looked at the store and couldn't help but shrink his head.
Because …
Although he had never worn these brands of clothing, he more or less knew about them.
Just like that 'Pegasus', it was said that a simple belt cost a few thousand yuan. It was terrifying!
There was also that 'Fu Yun', a pair of shoes cost at least 20,000 yuan.
It was simply terrifying!
"How about..." Ling Ping'an couldn't help but say to Chu Weiwei, "Let's change places..."
"It's okay!" Chu Wei smiled and said, "I'll take you to the eighth floor …"
Ling Ping'an shrunk his neck. The first floor was already so exaggerated. What about the eighth floor?
Chu Weiwei seemed to have seen through Ling Ping'an's worry, "Don't worry... It won't cost much!"
The eighth floor of the Renyi Building was a private customization area.
The clothes there are not priced.
But he needed someone to introduce him.
It could be considered the real luxury district of the Imperial Capital.
And the Chu family happened to have a store there.
Ling Ping'an chuckled and was about to answer when his phone rang.
He looked down and saw that it was a message from Hu Nuonuo. "I'm sorry, Young Master. I just received a patient, so I'll be a little late!"
Ling Ping'an chuckled and casually replied, "It's okay, I'm already in the imperial city..."
"Aunty asked a friend to bring me to buy clothes!"
"!!!!" Hu Nuonuo seemed to be very excited and immediately sent a message: "Young Master, where are you? I'll be right there! "
Ling Ping'an thought for a moment and replied, "Eighth floor of Renyi Building!"
"Young Master, wait for me, I'll be right there!" Hu Nuonuo couldn't wait to send a message.
Just then, Chu Weiwei turned around and looked at Ling Ping'an. She asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Ling Ping'an smiled and said, "A friend said he was coming over!"
"Oh …" Chu Weiwei nodded and didn't take it to heart.
The two of them took the escalator of the building and kept going up.
Soon, they reached the seventh floor.
However, there was no sign for the eighth floor. Instead, there was a sign for the ninth floor.
Ling Ping'an was puzzled, "Why isn't there the eighth floor?"
Chu Weiwei smiled and said, "The eighth floor is hidden!"
"The merchants in the imperial city all taboo to say eight..."
"Huh?" Ling Ping'an didn't quite understand.
"Seven up and eight down..." Chu Weiwei smiled and said, "Businessmen don't really like eight..."
Ling Ping'an shook his head, "In Jiangcheng City, eight is a good number. You can make a fortune!"
"That's Guangnan!" Chu Weiwei said, "The Central Plains doesn't believe in eight..."
"So, if you want to go to the eighth floor, you have to take the stairs!" Chu Weiwei led Ling Ping'an to a fire escape on the seventh floor. Then, she pushed open the door and entered.
The moment they entered the door, the cat that Ling Ping'an had been holding in his arms suddenly meowed softly.
Meow!
On the stairs up, lights lit up one after another.
Chu Weiwei's pupils constricted as she turned around to look at the cat that she had been ignoring.
"Young Master Ling..." she asked with a smile, "Your cat is really intelligent!"
Ling Ping'an chuckled, "Bastet... is indeed very intelligent!"
He gently stroked the cat in his arms.
From Chu Weiwei's perspective, the cat's body emitted layers of spiritual light.
An incomparably powerful psionic power pressure was released from all directions.
Then, how was it a cat?
It was clearly an extremely terrifying and powerful foreign species!
Cat demon!
And it was a cat demon above the general level!
Chu Weiwei blinked her eyes as many things surfaced in her mind.
She asked with a trembling voice, "Young master... have you heard of... the Nightmare World?"
Ling Ping'an laughed, "Are you talking about the Legend of Nightmare?"
"I've played it before. I have a few aliases..."
Chu Weiwei's pupils suddenly dilated. The Mark of Nightmare did not block her words.
So...
The person opposite her was a participant of the Nightmare Game!
He was the first player she had met in reality!
It turned out that he was the nephew of the captain whom he thought was' ordinary 'all along, an ordinary person who was unknown to the public!
And...
What did he mean by aliases?
Chu Weiwei thought of something and asked, "Then... young master... do you know a person called 'Monk Fa Hai'?"
Ling Ping'an laughed out loud, "That's my aliases!"
Chu Weiwei swallowed her saliva. In a daze, she seemed to see the face of the young man opposite her. A burly monk's face overlapped with his.
"Amitabha!"
"Benefactor, we meet again!"
"Ksitigarbha, the Buddha of Wisdom!"
Chu Weiwei shuddered.
Everything could be explained now.
There was no such thing as love and care in this world for no reason.
She thought of her milestone.
She was a backdoor entrant!
Not many people in the entire Realm of Nightmare could have the Golden Nightmare Milestone, but she easily obtained it!
"I am indeed a backdoor entrant!" She lowered her head. She finally knew that she was not lucky, but the captain was taking care of her and blessing her.
She also finally understood why the commander-in-chief personally went to Jiangcheng City.
She also knew why so many strange things had happened in Jiangcheng City.
It was all because of him!
The young man in front of her!
So...
Chu Weiwei's heart was pounding.
For some reason, she thought of the captain's suggestions again and again.
"Weiwei... My nephew is not bad, right..."
"Weiwei, let me tell you, if you marry my nephew..."
"Weiwei, come and take a look. My nephew's food is delicious, right?!"
She thought of the food she had eaten in Jiangcheng City again.
It was incomparably delicious and sweet, like the food of immortals and gods.
More importantly...
After eating that meal, she often received some inexplicable reminders in the Nightmare World.
"You have been cursed by XXX. Because there is high-dimensional energy in your body, this curse has been offset!"
"You have been exposed to the radiation of a Lord-level ferocious beast... Data error... You have resisted the radiation of this ferocious beast..."
More importantly, she had advanced from first lieutenant to captain and then to major as if she was walking on flat ground.
She had broken through effortlessly.
Even the lieutenant colonel, who was at the last step, was probably the same.
The captain had also personally admitted to her that she could break through if she wanted to …
Recalling this, Chu Weiwei was extremely excited and was about to go forward to thank him.
She heard Ling Ping'an say with a smile, "But I haven't played that game for a long time!"
"Firstly, I was delayed by something... Secondly, that lousy game server is being maintained..."
Chu Weiwei was stunned.
Game?
Was the Nightmare World just a game in his eyes?
Or... was he hinting at her not to expose him?
After thinking about it carefully, Chu Weiwei understood.
She automatically imagined a powerful transcendent being. In order to protect his family, he was willing to hide and hide his strength.
He had arranged everything for his family, no matter how big or small.
He was willing to let her fly higher.
But he was unwilling to be honest.
Was it because he had something difficult to say or because he had difficulties?
No matter which one it was, Chu Weiwei knew that since the other party was unwilling, she had to keep it a secret.
Ling Ping'an looked at Chu Weiwei and said with a smile, "Miss Chu, you also play that game? When the server is open, I will open an account and bring you to the dungeon! "
As he said that, he chuckled.
Chu Weiwei lowered her head. She knew that the other party was reminding her.
I have already recognized you...
I was the one who protected you a few times!
Shh!
Don't tell anyone!
