Chapter 73 The dream of salted fish must be the saltiest!
Dinner is the most delicious of the three meals a day.
After a tiring day, dragging your tired body to sit at the dining table is the day's reward.
It is also the most personal time of the day.
Pick up noodles with chopsticks.
Playing with the beef with a knife and fork.
Among the sucking and cutting sounds, there will be the sound of swallowing soup.
Comfortable.
It makes people unconsciously want this to last longer.
So, late night snacks appeared.
It becomes more delicious.
That’s not just the food itself, it’s also a sign that the free time you have at your disposal has become longer.
Therefore, even a bowl of instant noodles was extremely delicious at that time.
Of course, it would be better if you add an egg, ham, and dried flowers.
If the dried flowers are braised, the taste will be even better.
Cumin flavor is also recommended, but the soup for soaking the noodles needs to be hot enough. When it is soaked in it, the cumin will be integrated into the soup, and the dried tofu will become soft and glutinous, giving it a meaty taste.
Very comfortable.
But the most comfortable thing is: extra meals.
After dinner or midnight snack.
It is not a ‘help in times of need’ in the traditional sense, but more like ‘icing on the cake’, but only those who truly understand it will understand the importance of ‘adding food’.
That is both ‘helping in times of need’ and ‘icing on the cake’.
The slightly hungry stomach is satisfied again, which is a timely help.
And the food I had eaten before, when I savored it with a full burp, became the icing on the cake.
It allows both to coexist.
Let the two become indistinguishable from each other.
This is an extremely beautiful mood.
That's what Jason is like at the moment.
He parked the car, took the two boxes compensated by the 'Street of Memories', and walked briskly towards the 'fortress', pausing every few steps before casting the [Keya Seal].
It's not a restraint trap, but a warning trap.
There are adequate security facilities around the 'fortress'.
John, Brian and McCall set up enough surveillance cameras.
But that doesn't stop Jason from making more arrangements.
As one of the residents of the 'fortress', he thought this was what he should do.
At this moment, the moon has already passed its highest point in the night sky.
Under the bright moonlight, [Keya Seal] appeared silently everywhere in the 'fortress'.
Although it can only last for 5 hours, it is enough.
"It would be nice to have some good hunting dogs."
After casually casting [Keya Seal] and placing it in a remote place on the side of the 'fortress', Jason couldn't help but think.
Excellent hunting dogs are much more reliable than humans.
Especially at night, its reliability is even better than that of a machine.
He walked into the 'fortress' quietly and waved to John who was on duty at night.
"John."
Jason greeted.
"Everything is fine."
John, standing in the shadows, answered like this.
Daisy, who was kneeling at John's feet, shrank her head and tried her best to hide her body under the
Jason smiled and walked towards the underground room.
Not only various machines, but manual night watch is also necessary.
This is the habit of John, Brian, and McCall.
Every night, the three people will be assigned according to the shift schedule.
Jason had no objections to this.
He wouldn't even mind joining in if he could.
But, not tonight.
After walking into his room, Jason locked the door and raised his hand again to say [Keya Seal].
He hung his coat on the hanger behind the door and walked straight to the desk.
Although the place he lives in is a small suite, there is no independent restaurant where he can put the two pieces of 'food' in his hands.
Therefore, the desk in the study room has become the best choice.
After placing the two pieces of 'food', Jason almost couldn't wait to open the box.
Jason had checked the box more than once before, and he could confirm that there was nothing wrong inside.
And as the box was opened, the 'food' inside also revealed its true colors.
One is a ring.
One is a button.
The ring has something special about this world a hundred years ago. The silver setting is simple, but the ruby is extremely dazzling. Under the light, it shines with brilliance.
The buttons are made of gold, smooth on the front, but full of complicated imprints on the back.
"The flame ring can continuously spray high-temperature flames, and it can also shoot 10 fireballs continuously. When the luster of the gemstone disappears, the gemstone needs to be replaced and recharged."
"The force field button, when in danger, creates a force field that can withstand three explosions. It cannot be recharged and will be directly damaged after three explosions."
Next to the two pieces of 'food', there is a detailed description of the 'food' itself and a starting picture.
It can be seen that "Street of Memories" has been put together carefully.
One attack and one defense, close coordination, it is a pretty good combination.
However, for Jason, it was just food.
flame?
Jason's expert level [Charles Burn Technique] is enough to do everything.
And defense?
Jason's successive fusions and upgraded body-building techniques have already allowed him to achieve tank-level defense. Although the weak point still exists and he is not immune to fatal wounds, it is much stronger than the [Force Field Button].
Therefore, Jason is now paying more attention to...
smell!
He picked up the [Fire Ring] first.
The ruby is smooth in the mouth and has a rich sweetness, a bit like a red velvet cake, while the ring base is crispy and delicious, filled with the unique fragrance of cashew nuts.
The taste of [Stand Button] is much simpler.
chocolate!
It's the kind of dark chocolate that's at least 75%.
Bitter, mellow.
But it's not hard to swallow.
The mellow aroma filled the mouth, and Jason narrowed his eyes slightly.
The text is constantly beating——
【Eating the Flame Ring!】
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries have been greatly restored!]
[Satiety +18]
【Satiety: 85】
…
【Swallowing force field buttons!】
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries have been greatly restored!]
[Satiety +22]
【Satiety: 107】
…
The satiety level is over 100 again.
This made Jason feel slightly relieved.
Although 35.6 lives did not completely reassure Jason, who was used to having a hundred lives, it was much higher than before. At least, he now had many more choices.
“It’s time to watch the release of the new book!”
Jason thought silently in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
As a writer, this is his first time releasing a new book.
Will there be any book signings?
Will there be a press conference?
Jason thought as he picked up the blanket, covered himself with it, leaned back in the chair and fell asleep.
Why not go to a water bed?
The bed is so comfortable.
If any emergency occurs, people who wake up will hesitate in bed.
Jason is no exception.
But chairs don’t!
With Jason's physique more than five times that of ordinary people, the chair is really a pretty good choice.
The moon sets and the sun rises.
At dawn, the unlocking of the power of the [Sword of Dawn] in Jason's body made him wake up instantly.
Standing up and moving his body, Jason waited quietly.
The wait didn't take long before the phone rang.
jingle!
After the phone rang twice, Jason answered the phone.
"Hello, Jason?"
"Well, it's me!"
After editor Raven's voice came through the receiver, Jason answered in the affirmative.
"Today is the day when your new book will be launched. Various channels have already purchased the goods in advance..."
At this point, the editor's voice paused, and then he continued: "Did you do something in Cherry City? The demand there is almost as much as the sum of other places!"
Has ‘propaganda’ worked?
Jason was thinking in his heart and couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Jason was truly relieved.
Jason, who can deal with everything calmly, was really unsure about the [Main Mission] this time.
This is not a battle in the true sense, let alone facing an enemy, but a 'fusion mission' involving all aspects: within 120 days, at least 100,000 new books are sold (must be purchased voluntarily by others, and each person only counts as one
Book).
Such tasks tell Jason what he should do.
It’s not just about having ‘new books’.
It also requires a positive reputation.
After all, this is a universal value for ordinary people.
Ordinary people are what he needs to care about.
It is also the key to completing the task.
Fortunately, he was lucky.
The current situation is really good for him.
Of course, he doesn't mind being better.
“Will there be any book signings in La Verne?”
Jason asked.
"Book signing?"
"Jason what are you thinking about?"
"You are just a third-rate writer who is about to expire. How can you have a new book signing?"
"Don't think about it!"
"Although your book is well written, it's still too early to sign it!"
"Only truly first-class writers can receive such treatment."
The editor's voice involuntarily rose several centimeters higher.
Then, after giving Jason a few words again, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Through the receiver, Jason could clearly hear the busy sound of the editorial department over there.
It is impossible for the entire editorial department to have only one book written by him, as countless books together create such a busy scene.
As for staying up all night?
It's normal operation.
If there is no signing, there is no signing.
Mission first!
After putting down the phone, Jason sighed, turned around and walked towards the hall on the ground.
"Morning, Jason."
"Breakfast is a sandwich and milk."
"Your share is over there."
Brian, who was the chef again, pointed to the 20 sandwiches placed on a dinner plate not far away.
"Thanks, Brian."
Jason smiled, picked up the dinner plate and sat to the side of the dining table.
Soon, John and McCall appeared in the restaurant.
And two girls?
It seems that the biological clock is completely different from that of the four people. Normally, it takes around 10 o'clock. If it is a little later, it takes around 12-13 o'clock to wake up.
"Brian, you should let Cammy get up early and exercise."
McCall said this after picking up his breakfast.
"This..., you know, the relationship between Kemi and I has just eased."
Brian, the old father, showed a helpless smile.
"Why don't you let Terry get up early with Cammy?"
"The relationship between the two of them is very good. As long as one person takes action, the other will follow."
The middle-aged father asked McCall.
"Terry?"
"She will definitely listen to what I say."
"But, I don't dare to say it."
McCall sighed immediately.
"She treats me like a father figure."
"But……"
"I was completely unprepared."
"I don't know if accepting Terri will affect her."
"After all, my profession has made me have many enemies."
McCall also showed a wry smile.
The two middle-aged men looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
John on the side was stroking Daisy's head with a smile without saying anything.
For John, family is Daisy.
And communicating with Daisy doesn't have to be that troublesome at all.
If you are good to it, it will be good to you.
And people?
There are too many things.
Even if two people are very good friends, there will be too many gaps due to various misunderstandings.
As for being honest?
Human beings, the greatest difficulty is to be honest.
Not to be embarrassed.
It's not selfish either.
It's a habit of self-protection.
Fear of getting hurt.
A choice made with trepidation.
Although things often backfire, people will often choose this way the next time something similar happens.
Of course, it is also possible to confess everything in an instant.
Everyone has that impulse.
People give that impulse a very beautiful name: love.
It doesn't change.
It will change over time.
It might turn into a family relationship.
It may also turn into...hate.
Hate that begets hate out of love.
Therefore, people only have one moment of opportunity, and this moment is the only opportunity in a person's life.
Missed it.
Then you really missed it.
Naturally, Jason did not have such deep feelings. For a person who loves food, unless he is in a bun shop, a girl hands him the buns he just bought.
Otherwise, he would always think rationally.
Or think about more profound questions——
Which one tastes better, pork and green onions? Or mutton and radish?
In fact, spicy beef is also available.
If there is egg soup, be sure to add an extra egg.
While eating the breakfast prepared by Brian, Jason, like John, did not participate in the conversation between Brian and McCall.
However, his eyes were looking in the direction of the corridor.
Kemi and Terry showed up there.
Not in pajamas, but in formal attire, as if going out.
"Good morning, dear!"
"Come, have breakfast!"
Brian looked at his daughter with a smile.
"No, Dad!"
"I'll just bring a sandwich!"
Cammy nodded to John, McCall, and Jason, then picked up two sandwiches and walked out while eating them.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there!"
Brian yelled.
"No need, Dad."
"I'll drive there with Terry."
With these words, Kemi and Terry trotted out.
The four men in the room looked at each other, not knowing what the two girls were going to do.
At the same time, Cortana also quickly left the base.
In the 'Food and Wine Pavilion', Emily, who had stayed up all night and studied all night, woke up Emily, and the two of them quickly washed up.
In the 'Unyielding Bronze', a group of muscular men left the camp in an orderly manner under the leadership of the old instructor.
Many members of the ‘Golden Wind’ also gathered on the streets.
Members of the Street of Memories wearing ancient costumes were also mixed in.
And these people are all heading towards a place in Cherry City.
