The scorching sun scorched the earth, turning the entire mountainous area into a scalding furnace. The excavators wore loose uniforms, revealing large areas of skin that had been tanned dark brown by ultraviolet rays.
I was sweating profusely as I excavated the open space.
A shovel fell into the soil, making a crisp sound like gold and iron. The worker wielding the shovel raised his eyebrows, hesitantly pushed aside the soil, and saw what was hidden under the soil.
A weird spherical object, the entire shell has no texture or bumps, and the whole thing looks like a piece of shiny black jade.
"I found something here!"
He shouted, and everyone around him immediately came closer to watch. The sphere was smooth to the touch, and there seemed to be endless mystery hidden under the black appearance. From a distance, it looked like stars in the dark night, dimly still seeming to be shining with mystery.
of light.
The excavators held it in the palm of their hands and looked at it for a moment under the sunlight. They felt that the darkness on its surface was quite saturated, as if any light and color would be swallowed up by it.
"It doesn't look like regular excavations. Should we contact the Eye of Heaven?"
"Not necessarily yet. It doesn't look like it"
"There's something wrong." A young man holding an instrument looked up in surprise, "It's being activated. There's some kind of energy in it. It's about to happen."
Before he could finish his words, a surging shock wave had already erupted.
There was a sound from nowhere, a roar like a god being angered, and the entire excavation site suddenly sank, as if an invisible giant palm slapped the cracked earth.
Screams immediately filled the scene. The light, sound, temperature, and all the senses were turned upside down. The earth under the scorching sun was classified into a taboo territory by invisible authority, and it was as if time and space collapsed at that moment.
In just an instant, the excavation site changed into nothing, and any sound stopped as if a silent hand was stuck in the throat. And the taboo realm still had no intention of stopping, but continued to expand with a momentum that seemed to swallow everything.
It extends straight to the peaceful town not far away.
"It's time to eat~"
Xiao Qi forcibly dragged Jiang Bei over from the control interface in the hall. Jiang Bei reluctantly left his panel and was forced to come to the dining table.
After being promoted to Sequence B, a lot of the extraordinary skills seen in the list are also unlocked, and there are many small directions attached to each general direction ability.
For example, under the large framework of heat vision, there are branches that are specialized in different directions according to heat, cutting, impact, perspective, etc. that Xiaoqi described before. Super powers also include punching power, jumping, etc. based on the strengthening of basic arm strength.
Focus on strengthening in different aspects such as weight lifting.
Then different abilities combined with the auxiliary effects of the biological force field will derive various functions with different focuses.
All in all, it is dazzling to see, and just sorting out the entire system of various branches seems a bit laborious.
The tableware had already been placed on the table, and the white tablecloth was spread neatly. Xiaoqi brought the steaming dishes to the table, still wearing a cooking apron.
It was a new apron she bought just for her new hobby, with a cute Pikachu embroidered on it.
Not to mention, she does look more and more like a housewife now.
Jiang Bei came to the table and was surprised to find that there were three places prepared at the table today. On the third place was a small panda.
The reason why it is lying on its stomach instead of sitting is because it is indeed a bit too small. The table is too high for the pocket size of Little Doudin without transformation. The whole bear is basically standing on the chair, with two short
The little bear's paw was placed on the table, eagerly waiting for the meal.
Jiangbei was confused: "What is it doing here?"
"Let's eat. It will be more enjoyable if we eat together."
Xiao Qi smiled and prepared a large bowl of bamboo shoot fried rice for it. The side dishes were two extraordinary ores. Xiao Douding was moved to tears, as if he had reached the peak of his life.
"You have worked hard in training today, so you should eat well."
Only then did Jiang Bei notice that Xiao Douding seemed to have been soaking in the training room all morning.
It’s too late, this lazy and lazy panda actually takes the initiative to train?
"Oh, because it said that it enjoyed the food on the last mission and wanted to go again. So it trained hard and hoped to get the chance to do the next mission as soon as possible."
Xiao Qi said while adding food to Jiang Bei.
Jiangbei: "."
Imagine that it must have enjoyed the meal. You can imagine it by looking at the pained expression on the face of the person in charge of the Tianyan in Haiming Town.
Xiao Douding took a big mouthful of bamboo shoots and screamed "ouch" while biting it.
"It asked when the next mission is, and it can't wait."
Sure enough, cooking is the primary productive force, and only the urge to eat can drive a sloth bear to stop rotting.
"Here, your meal is not enough to tell me~"
"Thanks."
Jiangbei took the rice from Xiaoqi.
To be fair, he felt that Xiao Qi's progress was really fast. Not long ago, her dark cuisine was almost unpalatable, but now she has completely surpassed him, a newly introduced chef.
Today's main dish is sea bass, sprinkled with the honey sauce she learned from cooking bloggers, and grilled until it's crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and delicious.
The side dishes include stir-fried green vegetables, which are chewy, slightly sweet and crisp. There is also a dish of garlic broccoli, which has a refreshing taste with the aroma of garlic.
The aroma is overflowing and the presentation is quite exquisite. It can be seen that a lot of thought must have been put into it.
Jiang Bei felt more and more that teaching her to cook was a wise decision.
"Is it delicious? Is it delicious?" Xiao Qi looked expectant.
Jiangbei also joined in at the right time: "It's delicious."
Xiao Qi showed a satisfied smile and put her hands on her hips proudly: "That's a must. This is a special formula that I learned for a long time and made some improvements of my own.
I know you like soybean paste? You made a special trip to Lao Chang’s shop to buy it in person this afternoon.”
Jiang Bei was stunned for a moment, a little strange: "How do you know I like to eat soybean paste?"
He used to really love to eat, mainly when he was an undergraduate. But once he ate too much in one sitting and got injured, and then he gradually ate less and didn't think about it again.
It’s been a long time since I tasted it, and I thought it was really good when I tasted it again. But the problem is, he probably never mentioned it before.
Xiao Qi was stunned, then said casually: "Oh, you must have mentioned it, but you don't remember it."
"Is that so?" Jiangbei was confused.
He had no impression at all. It felt like he had never said anything before, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a message flashing in the light screen.
From the module bundled in Alliance Mission Search.
"Another name popped up?"
After the last endless hall upgrade, all modules have been improved in all aspects, and the mission module is no exception.
Jiangbei has roughly understood the operation of this task module. It is the same as the super AI machine that appeared in an early TV series "Suspect Tracking". It monitors all cameras and communication equipment in real time, and extracts names through a large amount of information screening.
Each name represents a person who is about to be involved in a dangerous incident. That person's role in the incident may be a victim or a perpetrator.
The task module is similar, except that its monitoring indicators are more extensive than simple communication equipment and network information. Its principle is not to monitor information data, but to calculate and predict a person's future trajectory in a more essential way.
Generally speaking, every time a name appears, Jiangbei will first assign an alliance member to investigate, understand the specific situation of the matter, and rate the task. If it can be handled, the member will solve it on the spot. If not, the alliance will send another suitable person.
But this time, the content that appeared in the interface was unprecedented. He had never seen such a situation before, and his first reaction was a confused thought in his mind - this thing is broken?
Because it is indeed very abnormal.
He saw many, many names.
Densely packed, rows and columns.
Occupying the entire field of view in the light curtain.
