Chapter 3: Eating barbecued pork and fish eggs together will definitely make you angry
On the roof of the west building of the Council of Five Kings, following the steep cave terrain, there are many supporting facilities built along the mountain.
According to 9527——
——These composite buildings close to the rock wall are the initial construction scaffolding and foundation ceiling of Jiujie Station. The entire station is built from top to bottom, so the construction process also starts with these supporting facilities.
The fifty-first floor on the top floor is actually the first floor of the station.
"The former engineering station was demolished long ago and moved to Longhua Avenue in the underground city." 9527 took Xueming to watch as they walked.
She pointed to the synthetic steel beams in the distance that looked like ceilings, and continued: "Many, many facilities have been moved, but the VIP special tea room is still here."
Jiang Xueming looked around and could see the twin towers of the platform and the big bell tower with the BOSS's portrait hanging on it.
There are flowerbeds and corridors everywhere, as well as small mazes made of grass and leaves. Like the six-color Rubik's Cube in [Glorious Path], they are divided into six different types of vegetation. They are cared for by artificial light sources. These plants grow very well.
"It's very quiet here." Xueming walked on the wide obsidian main road and followed Brother Qi.
Xiao Qi was very airy and seemed to be showing off his knowledge: "The VIP tea room is a place for distinguished guests to rest and refresh themselves. The environment is much better than the guest rooms."
She pointed to the gradually rising slopes and terraces, where there was an ancient fortress built against the mountain, like a fantasy building in the Baroque style.
"The underground expedition team, just like this, dug a complete road from this fortress bit by bit."
Xiaoqi opened his arms and showed the entire jurisdiction of the Nine Realms Station, including the far side of the Fountain Square and the underground city behind Moon Alley.
"Everything starts here. Now this building must be the highest point of the station. It is of great significance to everyone in the underground world."
"Then should I change my clothes?" Jiang Xueming said half-jokingly: "Change into a suit, a small bow tie and leather shoes, and go in with a glass of red wine?"
"Hahaha..." 9527 waved his hand: "It's not as formal as the Grammys and Oscars!~ Relax!"
The two walked along the broad avenue, and Jiang Xueming became curious when he saw these majestic and huge building roads.
"Why do we need to build the road so wide? There is also the black stone doorway and the pyramid-like stone steps - the road here can be paved with twenty lanes side by side. Is this really necessary?"
"Because..." 9527 pretended to be mysterious and pointed at the large bronze sculpture in the Fountain Square: "Because this road was originally built by them. If you go to the big library and search, you can find "The Frostfire Giant and the Magnificent Magnificent".
The book "Wish" records the love and hatred between BOSS and them."
"Those statues...were they originally alive?" Jiang Xueming asked in surprise. The kind of engineering bronze sculptures that were impossible to complete with human power alone would deeply shock his heart no matter how many times he saw them.
"Maybe it's a legend, maybe it's a fabrication." 9527 can't guarantee that what is said in the book is correct: "Because the station was built slowly from top to bottom while reclaiming wasteland and repairing and transforming.
What is written in this book is about the frostfire giants discussing cooperation with BOSS to build a station together. The entire mid-term urban planning and construction is the work of the giants. Why is this road built so wide? Because it was originally
Designed according to the physique of a giant.”
Jiang Xueming had a hard time imagining the wonderful history sealed in ancient times. Only these majestic buildings that are difficult to see in full remain in this 17,000-meter underground pit.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, standing on these buildings, stepping on its solid stone construction, and seeing the earthquake-resistant steel bars and anti-oxidation aluminum blocks buried deep in the mountain through the cracks in the stones - it would be difficult to imagine that in this reality, almost
How can a building that cannot reasonably exist carry its own weight, and how can it be built so high and so big?
Entering the front hall of the fortress, you will see six waiters sitting on two rows of sofas in the hall.
——They were both men and women, chatting happily. They were not like the waiters at the entrance of the reception hall downstairs.
These people were dressed in different styles. Only a red tie could be used as proof of the waiter's identity. Jiang Xueming also saw a girl directly using the red tie as a hairband to tie her hair, with a casual and natural attitude.
9527 asked Xueming not to talk nonsense. These people are very noble and are the VIP's attendants. Whenever the VIP goes to explore unknown and dangerous places, they will inevitably follow the VIP.
Jiang Xueming asked again: "If that's the case, why didn't Mr. Victor's waiter follow him?"
...
...
"Hahahahaha~!" A burly man responded loudly: "Because that guy ran out secretly! Hey! Was he very, very careful? Very, very cautious? I told you again and again - don't take my
Reveal your whereabouts to others?"
Jiang Xueming nodded: "That's true..."
"I am the waiter of that curly-haired slut." An older lady stood up from the sofa. She said she was only about thirty years old. She wore glasses and had a serious and indifferent expression, but the words that came out of her mouth were
Very exciting: "Kid, you know which butcher shop that overnight barbecued pork is hanging in now, right? I get angry thinking about him!"
It took Jiang Xueming a lot of effort to understand the meaning of these curse words: "Uh...I know...but now I'm not sure where the teacher is..."
"Then please clean out all the dirty things in your intestines that are inconvenient to mention, and let me sort through them and sort out the clues." The lady's mood was calm and her words were vicious: "Don't be shy, you fart and sneeze in public places.
There is no difference between taking a poop, it is just a process of opening your heart."
Jiang Xueming felt very embarrassed: "The last time I saw the teacher... was on the train in Death Partner City. Maybe he came back, maybe he didn't come back..."
"There is a bit of mystery in these words, but I have to thank you." The lady covered her forehead and rolled her eyes. She walked out all the way and said a few words over her shoulder: "If you call Victor your teacher, then you should be his first student. Otherwise, you should be his first student."
It’s also the second or third one. I believe this guy is not so lucky to accept so many students at once. When we meet for the first time, I have to bring you some souvenirs, right? But it’s a pity that you
Bai is happy, I didn’t prepare anything for you, because Teacher You is a 24K idiot. After he went out without saying hello, I looked around anxiously and didn’t prepare a suitable gift at all. It’s really rude. If I make you angry, you can write it down.
In the journal, treat it as a little trick to make you angry every day. Use it with your stone. If you are a red stone like the barbecued pork, that would be great! Can it be considered a gift from me? "
"I would like to ask... Do you consider me my master's wife?" Jiang Xueming greeted me very sensibly.
The lady then stopped moving and froze.
It's like the brain has shut down and stopped functioning completely.
About thirty seconds passed.
The lady finally squinted her eyes, adjusted her glasses, and said a little more politely, "Nowadays, children are so sweet-mouthed when they ask for gifts?"
Brother Qi listened and his mood went up and down.
It wasn't until Xueming said the words "Master's wife" that she finally felt relieved.
The mysterious lady finally walked out, walked away, and just got on her motorcycle - waving behind her.
"Stop talking, I'll find him first. You can wash your butt at home and wait for the mail!"
...
...
Wait until the sound of the motorcycle engine of the accompanying traveler fades away.
Jiang Xueming only felt very mysterious——
——Is this Teacher Victor’s waiter?
At this moment, Brother Qi was not idle either. He squeezed towards the sofa in the hall and greeted the VIP attendants one by one.
Xueming's hearing was very good, and he could hear what Brother Qi was saying - he was probably asking how the VIPs were doing, and talking about the lives of the VIPs.
It is worth noting that Brother Qi has a very special attitude towards one of the waiters.
——Her title is not "you" or "your Excellency".
Instead, he is called [Master] directly.
Xueming was sure that she heard correctly, it was [Master], not [Master] - look at that Master, she was a eldest sister in her mid-twenties.
This sister has an expressionless face and looks very "sharp" - the reason why I use this adjective is because of the aura that hits her face.
She held her arms across her chest, and was wearing a waiter's scissor tail dress, which she didn't want to put on properly. The inner layer was a tight-fitting ice silk quick-drying suit, with a flaming phoenix painted on the pure black fabric.
She has a pair of heroic red phoenix eyes, a delicate nose and mouth, and eyebrows like swords.
Her hairstyle is exactly the same as that of Seventh Brother, and she is the one who tied her hair with a red tie just now - maybe 9527's habit of tying a single ponytail with a red ribbon is just to imitate her teacher.
She was wearing a pair of loose black cloth trousers, the legs of which were also stained with bright red flames, and no shoes. She looked like a boxer in a martial arts dojo.
Brother Seven squatted beside the sofa, not daring to sit down, and whispered to this sister. After a while, he glanced at Xueming, as if he was asking for his master's opinion.
Xueming couldn't hear what Brother Qi said——
——From the beginning to the end, the VIP attendant did not change his expression or speak.
After Brother Qi finished speaking, he ran all the way back with an attitude like—
——The feeling when we text "I like you" to the person we have a crush on, then throw the phone on the bed like a grenade, and finally find a bunker to hide.
Brother Qi took Xueming's arm and went to the side hall, smiling awkwardly: "Let's go! Master! And all the seniors! You guys should have a good rest!"
The waiters just nodded and said nothing.
9527 took Xueming to the medical facility in the tea room and walked through two corridors before speaking.
"Those brothers and sisters just now...were all big shots at the station."
Jiang Xueming: "I heard you call one of them...master?"
Xiaoqi: "Yes..."
Speaking of this, Xiaoqi's face was full of admiration and she turned into a little fan girl.
Jiang Xueming was stunned for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. If he continued to ask questions, his crush Ah Qi would keep him chatting for more than half an hour.
Xiao Qi held it in for a long time, but her employer suddenly stopped talking.
She kept winking and was ready to introduce Bai Yueguang in her heart.
"You asked! Why didn't you ask anymore? Weren't you... just curious?"
"I'm here...for a checkup." Jiang Xueming pressed Brother Qi's shoulders and asked Brother Qi to lead the way: "If you have anything else, we can talk about it when we have a dinner date."
...
...
Wait until Xiao Qi completely leaves.
On the sofa in the front hall, several waiters suddenly began to chatter privately and became lively.
It seems that I still had some airs and baggage in front of the younger generation, but now I have let go of it.
"Hey! What did Xiaoqi tell you just now?"
"secret."
"Is there a drama? Are they having a drama?"
"secret."
"The Bloodhound went out just now. He was scolding Victor, saying that his mother would rather have a strip of barbecued pork if she gave birth to him. As soon as this kid started talking, the Bloodhound immediately stopped being angry. He seems to be quite good at making girls happy."
"Judging from your IQ, it's more realistic to say goodbye to girls and find a good mother who can take care of your stupid son."
"Can you please stop swearing..."
"Well said, I vote for the phoenix."
"In short, my careless little apprentice seems to have found a very reliable partner. I am really happy to be a teacher."
"How about going out for a drink? Where are the dandelions? Have you seen the dandelions? Do you want to call the couple together?"
"His employer has suffered a very serious mental trauma. Let them rest quietly for a while - didn't the Tulip stand say there was an event today?"
"Who invites?"
"Please, I just paid off BOSS's Blood Butterfly loan shark last month."
"Can't you lend it out again this month?"
"But being in debt... can make people uneasy... If this kind of feeling is left in the investigation mission, I think I will be in trouble."
"Life is short! It's the BOSS that should be worried. If you owe it a huge debt, it would love to squat on your shoulders every day to keep you safe!"
"Ahem...does anyone care about my little apprentice?"
"Oh yes! Oh oh oh! What do you think? That boy?"
"He probably rang the summons bell before he was sent here? I'm not optimistic - my employer has never rang the summons bell. He is too cold and cold. I couldn't help him at all when he was growing up.
superior."
"Is your inspiration soaked in wine? Can't you feel it? This kid was not injured, and his three-element condition is very good - his spirit, body, and soul are all intact. Why do I feel that he just wants the waiter to be with him?
I just rang the summons bell."
"Your statement is a bit romantic! If I had an employer who rang the bell every day, I think she would be very clingy!"
"Hey! Me too! My employer never rang the bell several times when he was young! At that time, I had just completed my third transformation, and I still couldn't manage my brain. I stopped working all day long and was always scolded by the foreman.
, just thinking about how to have a scene where a beautiful woman saves a hero, and how to pose the stage - it's a pity that he is an old piece of bacon now."
"As if you can take care of your brain now..."
...
...
The so-called three elements.
——It is the alchemical theory proposed by Hohenheim.
The scholar's full name was Philipps Aurelius Theophrast Bombasz von Hohenheim.
During the Renaissance, alchemy was divided into three directions.
This doctor, alchemist, and chemist happens to be a little bit of all three.
He combined alchemy with medical chemistry and became the cornerstone of modern medical chemistry.
The concept of the three elements he proposed later gave rise to the three elements of sulfur, mercury and salt. It is believed that human diseases are related to the imbalance of the three elements.
He pulled alchemy off the altar of the gods, torn off the mystery of magical rituals, broke down superstition, and made medicine and chemistry into divine powers available to everyone.
There are still countless literary and artistic works praising alchemy and Hohenheim.
Among them, the Panacea [Fountain of Youth] and the Philosopher's Stone [Philosopher's Stone] are the most typical.
There are legends telling that the rediscovery of the four elements [wind, fire, earth, and water] and the [Magician] in the Major Arcana Tarot are all related to Hohenheim.
There is a portrait of Hohenheim on the door of the medical facility.
The security inspection procedures at VIP teahouses are very complicated. Starting from blood tests and urine tests, Xueming had to go through a series of physical and mental examinations to ensure that there were no problems with the three elements in the body.
After ringing the summons bell, passengers need to undergo an MRI test and have electrodes attached to their heads to listen for brain waves and invisible lesions in the skull - they need to shave their heads. In the waiter's chat just now, maybe this is
Why, there is a reason why a VIP refused to ring the bell when he was young.
...
...
The staff shaved Xueming's hair, put on a hospital gown, and prepared to send him to the isolation room.
When 9527 saw the bald Xueming, his mouth opened slightly with a surprised expression.
Seeing Xiao Qi like this, Xueming felt a little bit sorry.
He thought - Brother Qi should be a little disappointed. After all, no matter who in the world shaves his head and turns his head into the shape of a fish egg, he will probably look ugly, right?
Moreover, Bai Qingqing is still a face control person and will hear the sound of broken dreams, but this is also a good thing. With this shiny head here, at least the two of them can maintain a safe social distance and chat normally, right?
Xueming hadn't even entered the isolation room to go through the disinfection process when she ran to Brother Seven, preparing to say a few polite words - lest Brother Seven turn around and tell the boss about his dream-breaking resignation.
"Xiaoqi, I..."
"Don't come over here!" 9527 pursed his lips, looking very defensive.
Xueming didn't expect Brother Qi's reaction to be so big, and he felt a little at a loss: "I... need to have a check-up, and my hair has been shaved... I can't do anything..."
"Stay away from me...I'm scared..." Xiaoqi didn't dare to look, "I'm confused...I'm confused."
Xueming sounded a little uncomfortable, but couldn't tell what was wrong: "Oh... I'll go check it out first."
"Well... you go ahead!" Xiao Qi covered her face and peeked through her fingers: "Go ahead! ~ Don't worry about me, don't come close to me, let me be alone! ~"
When Jiang Xueming walked away, he could hear Bai Qingqing singing behind him.
"Mandarin ducks and butterflies fly together~The spring scenery in the garden is intoxicating~"
"Ask the holy monk quietly~ Is my daughter beautiful? Is my daughter beautiful~"
This resentful and strange singing scared Xue Ming and she hid in the disinfection room.
Separated by a door, more than thirty meters away, he could still hear Brother Qi's strange laughter outside.
"Hee hee hee! Hee hee hee hee! ~ He is so horny after shaving his head! ~ Hee hee hee! Jiejiajiajiazhazhazha!"
Xueming sat on a stool in the disinfection room, covered her face, and learned a sentence in Cantonese.
