Chapter 132 The three major gifts of the Shura team
Pure natural scenery usually has the characteristics of "falling in love at first sight, being indifferent when you see it, and being boring when you see it". Unless it has an unpredictable and treacherous beauty, just like the clouds in the sky, with thousands of postures and beautiful things. Otherwise, after looking at it for a few more times, it will become dull.
Therefore, grasslands, forests, and oceans, these magnificent scenery on the surface usually have no charm for those who are in it all year round. Herders only care where the aquatic plants are more abundant and suitable for grazing. Hunters only have their own traps and prey in their eyes. As for sailors, they are mostly looking at pocket watches and thinking about their own girls, while begging God not to get angry.
In order not to make these forests and grasslands in the main world seem indifferent and boring, the creators of this world have intentionally added a large number of humanistic and historical relics to the natural landscape. You can find a Mayan pyramid in the dense forest, although the scale may be a little smaller; you may also find a mine path in the stone forest to lead to the depths of the ground; of course, you can also find a ruin of a city wall on the grassland, or find a cave with prehistoric pictures in the mountain wall... It is precisely because of the mix and match of these strange landscapes that the scenery of the main world does not appear so monotonous, and can even inspire some people to travel around the mountains and rivers. After all, the experience of winding paths and dark willows and flowers brighten up again is worth savoring.
When naming these places, everyone referred to their respective mixed styles. So there were geographical coordinates such as "Maya Jungle", "Copper Ore Forest", "War Desert", and "Poisonous Swamp", which were both vivid and unforgettable. The great creativity of the working people is really admirable, so that the original marks of "Atama Forest", "Geman Stone Forest" and "Gladiolus Grassland" on the main world map have become niche logos, and no one has even used them.
The Loulan Grassland, combined with the special naming method of the three districts, can be seen that this grassland is naturally inseparable from "Loulan". In the records of ancient classics, Loulan is a good place and a great place. In the original words of "Han Shu", it means that "the land sand is cured with few fields, and the fields are sent to the valley and divided into the country. The country produces jade, with reeds (reeds), branches and willows (red willows), poplars (poplar), and white grass (spina). The people follow the livestock and chase water plants. There are donkeys and horses, and many camels. They can fight and are the same as the Qiang". It can be seen that this place was still an excellent place at that time. However, in the 21st century, Loulan became a dead soul wandering on the yellow sand and dry lakes, and sighed heavily.
The Loulan Grassland in the third district is both Loulan from thousands of years ago and today's Loulan. Because among the green grasslands is the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, a piece of ruins. The green center is a piece of depressed yellow sand, which makes people feel sad. However, this is actually a not-so-welcome attraction. There are already very few people coming here. In addition, there are usually no such thing as "repeaters", so gradually, this place has become one of the "three boring attractions" among the people.
"No matter how many times I've been here, I feel bored."
A man in a capable white windbreaker leaned against his car, holding a goblet in his hand, looking coldly at the blue sky in the distance, behind him was the remains of the ancient city. This place was a bit quiet and desolate. When the wind blew across the ruins of the ancient city, the whistling sound was like the whole city was howling. In such a place, drinking by oneself is still second. Wouldn't you feel so furious?
"Master, they have arrived." The waiter stood three meters away from the man with red wine, almost in the corner of the man's sight. Like those waiters in the palace, when the host was dining, he had the obligation to temporarily disappear or not disturb the host's interest.
Unless something special happens.
"It's finally here," the man put the red wine in his hand on the front of the red Ferrari's car, and saw tiny ice particles floating in the cup. The man looked back and saw a yellow shadow approaching in the distance. "Cao Nian, is a guy who has not even fully developed his awakening power, worth the effort?"
Suddenly, he said, "But that guy's premonition is always correct. This time - maybe it's not wrong."
What a ridiculous question and answer.
In a blink of an eye, the yellow Lamborghini had arrived outside the ruins of the ancient city. The sports car was not too hindered by this terrain. It can be seen that the car must have been modified. However, for a guy like Cao Nian who only knows how to drive but does not know how to "play with a car", it is unknown what kind of modification method it is. In fact, the tires of this Lamborghini are integrated with the tires of the ultra-titanium alloy wheels coated with self-repair rubber, but people who don't know how to see it can't be seen. Crushing the fine yellow sand, the car finally stopped beside a low wall pier. T1000 got off the car first, and then the robot helped Cao Nian open the door and respectfully "invite" Cao Nian out.
The wind is mixed with yellow sand, so the air is mixed with the fragrance of the green grassland and the earthy smell of the wind and sand. This is a familiar smell, which makes Cao Nian hear his encounter in the world of gods. I saw Cao Nian look solemn, looking at the ancient city of Loulan and Chen Ming as if he was facing a great enemy. Of course, there was a sense of resolute smell in his expression. The poet who once wrote "I will never return until I destroy Loulan" thought that it was Cao Nian's expression when he wrote.
"I've let you wait for a long time," said Cao Nian.
"Soon--it's only a few hours."
Cao Nian was silent. He said such polite words as "I've been waiting for a long time" were nothing more than thinking that they would not be so embarrassed to start the conversation between the two. In a sense, the sentence "I've been waiting for a long time" is no different from "Have you eaten recently" and "Is it okay recently?" To put it bluntly, it is just a routine. It is probably not wrong to add one or two such irrelevant words before getting to the topic.
When he saw Cao Nian, he was shocked and thought that he could not find any clichés to say, but it seemed inappropriate when he first met. Chen Ming waved his hand, Sebastian, who was standing aside, understood it and served Cao Nian a glass of red wine.
"Drink a drink? The old saying goes, 'spoken words after drinking'. Today we can probably talk openly and honestly."
Looking at the red wine that had been handed to him, Cao Nian shook his head and rejected Chen Ming's kindness.
"I think 'drinking alcohol is wrong' is the truth. As for 'spoken words after drinking', I'm sorry, I really don't believe this. I've seen a guy who can still act like a drama after drinking - I can hear a few words at the table."
Chen Ming smiled slightly and did not fall into the common customs. If Cao Nian didn't drink, he would not persuade him. Those words "If you don't drink, you will not give face" were not only awkward to listen to themselves, but others must also be quite disgusting.
Sebastian retreated again with the wine.
Behind Cao Nian was a t1000, and behind Chen Ming was the same.
Chen Ming, holding the wine glass, said nothing, as if he was waiting for Cao Nian to speak. After a while of silence, Cao Nian finally got straight to the point: "Tell me the serious business, why do you come to me?"
Chen Ming put down his wine glass and laughed heartily: "Good! - If you ask me some irrelevant questions, I'm afraid I won't be patient and spend time with you here. But fortunately, it seems that we can get to the point directly. This will save me from pretending to be so profound that I just said, "I'm here to help you."
"help me?"
This is probably Cao Nian's most unexpected answer.
"That's right-" Chen Ming's tone was as cold as an iceberg, but also had a sharp and neat demeanor like a blade. "That's right, considering that we will be allies, so to help you, that is, help us."
Cao Nian put his hand in his pocket and leaned against the car like Chen Ming. Although the two of them had similar movements, they were very different. One was idle and relaxed, while the other was nervous about trying to cover up. Although standing with Chen Ming, although it was not particularly depressing, and even had a feeling of finding the same kind, Cao Nian felt a headache for his words.
"How do you help me?" Cao Nian was testing, and his palms began to sweat, but fortunately it was placed in a place where he couldn't see it, so it would not make people notice his nervousness.
"As an awakened person, do you know how to go ahead?" Chen Ming said, "or, how should you strengthen your strength?"
Cao Nian's brows frowned suddenly. Yes, what Chen Ming said was his biggest problem now and his biggest doubt. Awakening power, a power that is different from all bloodlines and mutations, does not exist in the exchange table of the main world. In other words, there is no other way to obtain it except for awakening. As for the real training and strengthening methods, there is no way to know. Cao Nian is still just a blind man touching an elephant, tempting to guess the origin of this power. If anyone can help him, then the awakened people from the Shura team are naturally the most qualified.
"I am also an awakened person - and my ability is to control the ice." Chen Ming said, "As one of the few awakened people in the third zone, I think I should have the ability to help you, right?"
"What do you want?" Cao Nian asked in a negotiating tone. Indeed, he now longs for himself to become stronger and needs someone to guide him. But he also knows that these experiences may be insignificant to Chen Ming, but they are valuable to him, so he put on a negotiation stance.
"What can you give me? Your life? Or your - chastity?"
Cao Nian's face changed, and he was no longer calm when he looked at Chen Ming. Could it be that this guy still has an unknown quirk? Isn't it a sheep who is coming to the tiger's mouth? Damn it!
Chen Ming suddenly restrained his evil smile and said in the plain tone of an old friend's speech, "I'm just teasing you, look at your pale face - I just want to say, do you have anything to do with me now? No, nothing. If possible, I hope that our relationship is not an ally, but a friend, don't look at me with that puzzled look. Please, I've already explained it very clearly."
In fact, Chen Ming's words are already quite tactful. If you are a little more direct, his meaning can be understood as 'In my eyes, you are no different from beggars. Do you think I am greedy for money from your hands? Don't be stupid, I just want to be friends with you'. Cao Nian also knows that he is poor and careless in this guy's eyes, but vigilance has become a habit that is integrated into his bones. How can he change it in a while?
Chen Ming picked up the wine in his hand, and the dark purple liquid emitted an attractive light. This was a bottle of fine wine from an ancient winery. There were not many on the earth, but in the world of reincarnation, he could enjoy the taste. He had already said all of his words, and now he was just waiting for Cao Nian to express his opinion.
After repeated hesitation, Cao Nian finally spoke: "It seems that I am too suspicious-"
"Suspicious is not a bad thing, but if you are too suspicious, the situation will be smaller. Just as some idiot in our team said, if in your eyes, all those who try to approach you are evil people with bad intentions, it only means that you are too weak." Chen Ming also smiled slightly, and he took out a silver U disk from his pocket of the white suit and threw it to Cao Nian.
Cao Nian held the U disk in his hand and asked in confusion: "Is this?"
"The secret to becoming stronger - go back and have a good look, it should work for you."
Adhering to the principle of "no gratitude" and Cao Nian did not say anything thanked him, because no words were enough to express his gratitude at this moment, so he just nodded.
"You are so sure that we will join your plan?" Cao Nian asked.
Chen Ming shook his head: "It's not that I'm sure, there are other guys who firmly believe it."
Cao Nian thought about it and then asked, "By the way, can I ask another question?"
"Do you want to know why we attach so much importance to this same-plane war?"
"Well. How do you know?"
"Because all the teams asked this before joining us, I think you will be no exception. As for the real reason - because this time, we not only have to win, but also have a refreshing victory, but also have to take the lead." Chen Ming said, "We have received some news about the same-plane war from the prophet. This same-plane war is of great help to us enter the legendary area, so we have to be fully prepared."
Cao Nian didn't ask again. This explanation can be said to be quite reasonable. At least in Cao Nian's opinion, there are no loopholes. But is this really the case? I'm afraid it will only be known at that time.
"This t1000 is a small gift we give to you. Don't worry, the program on him will be cleared by the source after entering your room and will not have any relationship with us. At that time, he will truly serve you." Chen Ming also guessed Cao Nian's doubts about the existence of t1000, not only solved his doubts, but also said: "Accompaniment, I'll give you another gift--"
What?
Cao Nian felt that he was in great luck today.
