Chapter 118
: Returning to the world
Crazy, really crazy!
When the auction ended on the first day, more than 10 million gold coins were added to my account, plus the more than 64.29 million gold coins awarded to me by the game company. On the first day of the auction, I received nearly 75 million gold coins, which made me smile. Of course, Zhang San was also very happy. Although the prize he received could not be compared with mine, it also reached 500,000 yuan, which can be said to be a great victory.
When I asked him later how he helped me apply for the bonus, his answer was as follows: "Brother Mo Shui, don't you know? As long as the items sold by the player at one time bring more than 50 million gold coins to the auction house, I have the obligation to ask the city lord or directly from the senior management of the Tianxia City company. In general, the reward for the player is only 30% of the income, but this time he actually gave you 50%, which is really beyond my expectations. It should be because our city lord said good things for you."
"Oh. So how do you calculate your bonus?" I asked with interest.
"Hehe, mine, usually about 5%. This time it depends on you, brother, otherwise this 500,000 won't be in my hands." As he said that, the smile on his face became more and more intense. Haha, the standard type of villain success.
"Then should you thank me, my great benefactor?" I kept striking when I saw Zhang San's smug smile.
"That, of course." Zhang San pretended to be generous and patted his fat chest and said: "As long as I can do it, brother, just speak up - of course, I won't do anything outside my ability or illegal or criminal!"
I was about to speak when Zhang San said again: "There are still things that cannot make me embarrassed, and there are still things that cannot be-"
"Damn! Are there so many 'along's still'?" Faced with Zhang San's unhappiness, I angrily said: "Manhan and Han banquet! It's this Sunday!"
"Manchu and Han chess", as the name suggests, are the most famous Chinese banquets in history formed by gathering the essence of Manchu and Han cuisine. In the Jiashen period of Qianlong, Li Dou recorded a Manchu and Han chess meal list, which is the earliest record of Manchu and Han chess.
The "Manchu and Han ceremonies" are divided into six banquets, all named after the famous banquet of the Qing Palace. The first banquet is the "Mongolian Families Banquet". This banquet is an imperial banquet set up by the Qing emperor to entertain Mongolian relatives who married the royal family; the second banquet is called "Court Minister Banquet", which is held on the 16th day of the Yuan Dynasty every year. At that time, the emperor personally ordered the Grand Secretary. Those who have meritorious among the nine ministers attended the banquet, and those who have been promoted will be honored; the third banquet is the "Fengfeng Banquet", which is the birthday banquet of the Qing emperors and also one of the grand banquets in the inner court. Empresses, princes, civil and military officials are all proud of their birthday celebrations.
The fourth banquet is the "Thousand Old Banquet". The banquet began in the Kangxi period and flourished during the Qianlong period. It was the largest imperial banquet in the Qing palace and the most banqueting people. The fifth banquet was the "Nine White Banquet", which began during the Kangxi period. When Kangxi initially decided on four tribes such as the Mongolian Wasak, these tribes used Jiubai as tribute every year to express their surrender and loyalty, namely: one white camel and eight white horses. This is based on this. After the Mongolian tribes offered tribute, the emperor Gao Yu Banquet was called Jiubai Banquet.
The last banquet is also the most complex one. It is called the festival banquet, which refers to the banquet held by the Qing court according to the fixed annual festival season. For example, the New Year's Day banquet, the Yuanhui banquet, the Spring Farming Banquet, the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, the Qualifying Banquet, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the Double Ninth Festival banquet, the Winter Solstice banquet, and the New Year's Eve banquet are all based on the festival rules and follow the rules. It is precisely because of the different seasons that the various foods are classified one by one, and the number of the last is shocking.
The "Manchu and Han chess" bring together many famous dishes in Manchu and Han chess, choose the seasonal fresh sea and search for mountain and strange animals. The whole chess consist of 196 cold and hot dishes, 124 snacks and tea, and 320 dishes. A full set of pastel tableware, paired with silverware, is rich and gorgeous, and the dining environment is ancient and elegant. During the meal, famous teachers are invited to play ancient music and accompany the banquet, along with elegant and legacy, rigorous and solemn etiquette, inherit traditional virtues, serve the meals and serve the court in the court, making guests stay.
However, with the changes in the environment, especially more and more animals and plants are listed as national protected species, and some are even extinct. Therefore, the real "Manchu and Han banquet" is difficult to taste in reality. It is not easy to be able to eat a complete banquet, but it is still a sky-high price, let alone taste all six banquets.
However, things that cannot be done in reality have reappeared in the virtual game "Xiong Domination World". Since the last system change, the "Manhan Festival" has appeared in major system restaurants in the game. But just like in reality, the "Manhan Festival" is very expensive. A single banquet can cost you about 600,000 gold coins, which is 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. Who would spend so much money to eat this "Manhan Festival"? Even I wouldn't try it. I guess that there is only the super rich man who spends money like earth to taste. However, now, with Zhang San, a sucker here, patting his chest, I certainly won't let it go.
"Manhan's full banquet?" Zhang Sanda was shocked, but his fat face immediately collapsed, and then he changed into a vicious expression and said, "Moshui, you are cruel! Is it Sunday? I agreed that at 1 pm, I am out of date!"
"No problem! I promise to get there on time." After a pause, I said again: "By the way, I will introduce a few friends to you when the time comes. We can't finish eating anyway, right?"
Amid the laughter, I left the auction house, but I didn't notice that Zhang San's expression appeared on his face after I walked out of the door. Of course, if I knew, I wouldn't have added that sentence at the end.
Time passed quickly, and Sunday was soon on. After lunch, I couldn't wait to enter the Human Game. After all, there was a super dinner waiting for me later. I didn't want to waste it because of time issues. Although this possibility was slim. But it was still a safe point? What's more, I still need to bring a few friends with me.
Although "Ba Gun" is considered a rich child in reality, it is only a well-off level in the game. Therefore, since the system launched the "Manhan Banquet", this guy has never tasted it once, and every time he comes to my "Longhu Xuan", he will praise him. Of course, he is not without money. As far as I know, he has at least several million gold coins in his hand. The reason why he doesn't taste the classic "Manhan Banquet" is because he is like me, not the kind of person who spends money casually when he has money. Perhaps it is this kind of personality that allows us to become good friends.
"Quick Sword Yidao" has billions of wealth. As I heard from "Pink Yi" that his assets have reached more than one billion yuan, which is a remarkable achievement for a young man. After all, it is not so easy to be a billionaire. Although "Bulian Gun" will not spend a huge amount to eat the "Manhan banquet", he will try all kinds of delicacies in daily life. However, "Quick Sword Yidao" is different. This guy is very frugal when playing games alone, at most he only eats some meat he roasts himself, which is not consistent with his billionaire's identity. He will improve the food unless he brings "Pink Yidao". For this reason, "Pink Yidao" has advised him more than once. I also know this through the narrative of "Pink Yidao". So this time Zhang San treats him, there is also a "Quick Sword Yidao".
Originally, I wanted to bring in the two "Fenglin Volcano" and "Kongkong'er". But the former was hunting a rare monster and had no time to do it; the latter was not very familiar with Zhang San and it was not very good to go, so he declined.
In any case, with the two diners, "Bao Gun" and "Quick Sword Yi Dao", Zhang San's "Manhan Festival" would definitely not face the embarrassing situation of packing. But when I brought "Bao Gun" and "Quick Sword Yi Dao" to the booking box of "Tianxia Restaurant", I was shocked because there were dozens of men, women, young and old, and there were dozens of people in front of me, which was very similar to a gathering of a big family.
Looking at Zhang San who was like a fish in water among them, I suddenly realized that it was the one I said I wanted to bring my friends that day that reminded this guy, and actually pulled his family over; maybe it was not just his family, but most of the people in the number of people should be relatives and friends.
Seeing this scene, I was so angry and funny. It was really hard for him to think of such a solution. However, so many relatives and friends played the game "Xiong Domination of the World" at the same time, I was shocked for a while. In particular, there were a few obviously older people talking and laughing there, which surprised me. Although I usually knew that there were many elderly players in the game, I was still a little surprised when I saw it, and at the same time I realized the popularity of this game more deeply.
"Oh, Brother Mo Shui, you are finally here! We have been waiting for you for a long time!" Zhang San shook his body and greeted him. The smile on his face was disgusting, full of strong sense of pride.
This situation made the "Bulian Gun" beside me whisper in my ear: "You friend is really 'heavy'!" I emphasized this word "heavy".
I just smiled slightly when I heard this, avoided Zhang San's terrible "bear hug" without any trace, pointed at the people behind him and said, "Why, Boss Zhang won't introduce it to us?"
"Ah--" Zhang San patted his head in an extremely exaggerated manner, and then explained to the three of us as if he had realized it, "Brother Mo Shui, I really forgot if I didn't say it! Two days ago, you said you would bring two friends to have dinner together, so I thought that the more people there were, the more lively it became. So, for this time it was even more lively, I invited all my relatives and friends. Come on, I will introduce you to you, this is my grandfather!"
Zhang San pointed to the oldest old man with silver hair among the crowd and said, "My grandfather is the fan of this game. Since he learned that I could get discounts on buying a game helmet, he bought one for everyone in his family..."
The three of us hurriedly greeted the old man. No matter what, we should not be too rude when facing such an old man who seems to be at least in his seventies or eighties, so we temporarily let Zhang San’s problem go.
After Zhang San's grandfather, he was his grandfather, then his parents, uncles, aunts, and other elders, followed by some peers, and then some juniors, of course, among which was Zhang San's extremely cute daughter. When Zhang San proudly introduced his daughter Zhang Min, I and I looked at each other, with doubts in my eyes.
With Zhang San's obesity and his wife's not outstanding appearance, it is impossible for him to give birth to such a cute daughter! And with such a good figure, I guess he will have a standard model figure when he grows up. Looking at the body like a ball, we can't project the relationship of "father and daughter" onto the two of them. Could it be a genetic mutation? I thought of it with a malignant thought.
"Oh, you guys are looking at each other!" Zhang San blushed and shouted: "Our Minmin is my biological daughter, don't look at us with such strange eyes!" Oh! We probably aren't the first people to have such thoughts. Before we could tell them, Zhang San already knew what we thought.
"No! We don't have this idea! Don't believe it, ask them both!" I quickly threw the bag to the two of them, of course this move naturally brought the eyes of the two of them. However, for the sake of the "big situation", "big Gun" and "Quick Sword One Knife" still cooperated with me very well, and "big Gun" even patted my chest to ensure that what I said was true, and praised Zhang San's daughter with great enthusiasm, which made Zhang San smile.
"Quick Sword" and I smiled at each other, and felt relieved. The level was finally over. After they introduced it, it was the three of us who had won a good ranking in the "World Martial Arts Fighting Meeting", and everyone was familiar with it. My identity was revealed by Zhang San long before I arrived, so everyone still had great enthusiasm for me, the "No. 1 in the World".
When we learned that "Bao Gun" and "Quick Sword Yidao" were also famous figures in the "World Martial Fighting Meeting", Zhang San and his family became even more enthusiastic. It was a bit unbearable for us, especially Zhang San's grandfather, an old man who was already 81 years old in reality, praised my "great achievements". He pulled me and said this and that, and invited me to go to the "Songtao Teahouse" in "Yanhuang City" for a cup of tea when I had time.
Fortunately, time passed quickly, and the waiter entered the private room to tell us that the meal time had come. Zhang San, his family and our three guests, had a total of 39 people, and they barely sat on three round tables. If it weren't for some of these people being children, they would have been crowded.
Zhang San warmly greeted everyone to sit down and introduced today's "Manchu and Han banquet" with an eloquence. Today was the first banquet of "Manchu and Han banquet", which was the "Mongolian Banquet". Every time he served a dish, Zhang San would introduce it, and some even explained its origins and historical allusions one by one, which made everyone feel interesting.
The "Mongolian Vocational Banquet" is constantly placed on the table in the form of a "flowing mat", with some other mid-to-high-end dishes in the "Tianxia Restaurant" interspersed in the middle, which looks very rich, but I know that except for the "Mongolian Vocational Banquet" worth 600,000 gold coins, the other dishes are all worth about 100,000 gold coins. This is nothing compared to the huge number of guests of thirty-nine people. Slowly eating the delicious food on the table, I sighed in my heart that Zhang San's cleverness not only gave me a favor, but also pleased all relatives and friends. After all, the "Manhan Banquet" is not something ordinary people can afford, even if it is in the game.
Two hours later, the three of us left the "Tianxia Restaurant". The most discussed along the way was Zhang San's "smartness". However, to be honest, I really miss the "roasted whole lamb" I just now, which is much better than the usual one.
After talking for a while, the topic of "Quick Sword One Sword" changed and said to me: "Moshui, I heard last time you said there were signs of recovery?"
I nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but the recovery is very slow. My current strength is less than half of the previous one." Yes, although the effect of "Five Animal Show" is very obvious, my internal strength and three mana are still very slow to recover. The internal strength and "ice-type mana" are better. Under the influence of the "Sword-Battle Heart Method" and the corresponding "ice-type mana" formula, it has now recovered to 87 points and 76 points respectively; while "Fire Mana" and "Wind Mana" can only be restored by "Five Animal Show", so it recovers very slowly. It is only 30 points and 27 points now, which is really a bit miserable compared to the previous few hundred points.
Moreover, because I sold equipment such as "Dragon Horn Battle Bow" before, now if I fight, I can only use "Sun Shooting Bow". Although the "Sun Shooting Bow" has a very good basic attack power, reaching 400 points, it is far different from the "Dragon Horn Battle Bow" when I cannot use its accompanying skills. So, now I can only fight against small boss-level monsters at most. If I encounter an oss or a "monster beast", I will only have the only way to escape.
"As long as there is a chance of recovery, I'm already grateful!" "Baqiu" said in the side.
"I should be thankful, but compared to the previous high spirits and now it is so miserable. Seeing your strength running upwards with 'swish swish swish swish swish', I was anxious!" I sighed in disguise.
"I said Brother Mo Shui, don't pretend! But when I saw that you were full of smiles!" It was still the guy "Ba Gun".
"Ha, is it so obvious?" I asked, turning my gaze to the "Quick Sword" on the other side. I don't know this myself. Maybe my desire for strength has reached an extraordinary level in my heart.
"Yes!" "Quick Sword" said with a heavy emphasis. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Or the two of us took you for a while so that you can recover faster."
I shook my head slightly and said, "You also know my combat methods. No one is efficient when partnering with others. So thank you, I want to go up the 'Tianshan Mountains' by myself."
When I heard me say this, I stopped persuading the "Quick Sword" and "Ba Gun" was a little unsatisfied because he worked with me to fight monsters several times. The process was very easy, so I missed it very much. Of course, every time I set up a trap or a formation, and then used a bow and arrow to shoot the monsters with scars, and then left some for "Ba Gun" to practice, easily gaining combat experience and there was no danger. According to him, it was even more enjoyable than riding a "roller coaster".
After the three of them separated, I returned to "Longhuxuan", packed up my equipment, and brought "Xiaobai" to outside "Pangu City". As for "White Tiger", I put it in "Koran Women's Clothing", one to accompany Zhang Lan, and the other to have a good deterrent effect on some hooligans. Last time, a guy actually blatantly wanted to tease Zhang Lan. If I hadn't just taken some stock of furs into the store, Zhang Lan would have suffered a loss.
Although I had lost four powers at that time, I had strong strength with the protection of "Xiaobai" and "White Tiger". After "Xiaobai" easily solved the gangster with a few claws, in order to prevent similar things from happening, I kept the "White Tiger". Anyway, if I lost the four powers, I would not get much if I fought monsters again.
To calm down, I came to a mountain in the "Tianshan Mountains". The "Tianshan Mountains" are very vast and I have never been to most places, including this mountain. I chose this mountain because from a distance, it seems very strange that this mountain actually has a lot of smoke.
You should know that this mountain is not high at a height, and it is at most five or six hundred meters compared to "Pangu City". According to the current season, this kind of smoke should not appear at all, especially at the sunny moment at three o'clock in the afternoon. Therefore, I think this mountain must have something unique.
Through the layers of smoke, I finally saw the true appearance of the mountain. The dragon appeared in front of me. Oh, no, it looked more like a giant snake! It was said to be a snake because it had no horns on its head, and its mouth was even more pointed, and it was full of snake appearance. Its whole body hovered on the mountain, stretching for hundreds of meters, and this body alone was enough to scare people to death.
When I saw it, I was so scared that I could not speak at the giant monster. If it weren't for the sharp eagle cry of "Xiaobai", I'm afraid I would still be staring at the "giant snake" and being stupid.
However, it was this crisp eagle cry that brought me and "Xiaobai" and me into extreme danger. The "giant snake" that was originally coiled on the mountain slowly opened its eyes because of the eagle cry, and at the same time, the originally closed snake's mouth was filled with a bone-cold breath. Although it was just a slight touch, Xiaobai and I couldn't help but shivered.
No longer considering anything else, I quickly directed "Xiaobai" to leave this dangerous place. As long as such a big guy gently hits me, it will probably end up turning into "meat paste".
The flight speed of "Xiaobai" is not a big deal. "A thousand miles a day" can be said to be a piece of cake, but now I find that I can't move in a short while, and I'm so anxious that I cry out in an instant. I also feel anxious. There was no smoke just now, but now it's getting thicker, giving people the feeling that it's in water, especially the coldness in it makes me irritated.
This "giant snake" is really amazing. It was just a moment for us silently. When I looked back, I found that the "giant snake" was completely awake. Now I was looking up at us struggling forward in the air with my head held high. The eyes of the snake were filled with a "joking" look. It made me stunned for a moment, at a loss.
Yes, it's just "joking"! This feeling is very strange and very profound, just like what you should have known. Joking? Although I know that some characters and monsters in the game have good intelligence, it is just a manifestation of the program, with traces of artificiality everywhere. But now, I can't feel any false elements, and I can really feel the "expression" of the "giant snake", which is incredible.
You should know that the concept of "intelligent program" occupies a very important position in the computer industry. With the development of computers and related industries, the demand for "intelligent programs" is increasing, but most "intelligent programs" are just flexible processing methods on ordinary programs. For example, today's voice-controlled TVs have an intelligent sound program added to it, but it is just a distinction.
But now, the "giant snake" in front of me actually had that expression, which really shocked me. When I was strapping again, "Xiaobai" finally broke free from the constraints of the "smoke" and took me outside. The moment I left the smoke, this "giant snake" left me with a deep look, which made me feel inexplicable.
No matter what, I finally got rid of this extremely terrifying "giant snake". Even if it really has intelligence, it has nothing to do with me. Moreover, according to "Tianxia Game Company", the game system has become intelligent, and perhaps this is just a manifestation.
Chapter completed!
