When I was sitting in my aunt's car and driving out of Luming Villa.
Lingpingan discovered that this place turned out to be a hot spring resort.
I didn't notice it when I arrived, but when I left, I realized that this hot spring villa is quite large.
I took out my phone and looked at the navigation map.
Lingpingan suddenly realized that he was in Tangshan, southeast of the imperial capital.
"Tangshan..." Lingpingan put down his mobile phone: "This is where the Tangshan meeting was held?"
The Tangshan Conference was a world-wide financial and economic summit held a hundred years ago.
After this meeting, the Federal Imperial Ministry of Finance and the finance ministers of the participating countries reached the Tangshan Treaty.
According to the treaty, the federal and imperial currency was decoupled from gold.
Instead anchor to commodities.
The currencies of the participating countries are still anchored to the Chinese dollar.
This ushered in the era of credit currency.
This is a chapter from a middle school history textbook.
"No!" Li Anan smiled and pointed: "That's the site of the Tangshan Conference over there!"
Lingpingan looked over and found a large stone tablet standing beside a road with a stone inscription on it: Tangshan World Conference Site.
Lingpingan smiled and gently stroked the cat in his arms with both hands.
For some reason, he was in a daze the moment he saw the stone tablet.
It feels very familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere?
Faintly, there seemed to be a buzzing sound in my ears.
The sound was extremely weird, a bit like intermittent radio waves, similar to an electromagnetic signal of a certain band.
However, Lingpingan felt that he could understand.
Very familiar, as familiar as my mother tongue.
So, he subconsciously said what the signal conveyed.
“Those who cannot be seen are called barbarians; those who are heard are not known are called Xi; those who fight but are not known are called Wei…”
Lingpingan was stunned.
Li Anan and Chu Weiwei were also stunned.
"Ping An, why are you memorizing the Tao Te Ching?" Li Anan scolded: "I almost turned the steering wheel wrong!"
Lingpingan's eyes suddenly opened up, and he didn't know when the car had driven out of the mountainous area and entered the Ring Expressway.
In his arms, the kitten Beste meowed softly.
Lingpingan smiled and said: "Auntie, Miss Chu, I'm sorry, I got a little lost in my thoughts!"
Li Anan shook his head, feeling helpless towards Lingpingan.
Chu Weiwei smiled kindly and said gently: "It's okay, Mr. Ling!"
Lingpingan held his cat in his arms and couldn't help but feel doubts in the passenger seat.
It seemed that neither my aunt nor her colleagues heard the strange sound that I just heard in a trance.
so……
"Am I hallucinating?" He blinked.
This is the only explanation.
"There have been a lot of weird things lately!" he thought.
So, he took out his mobile phone: "Let's check WeChat!"
…………………………………………
Shang Jun and his men were cruising around the Yan Tower, looking for it.
However, after searching for a long time, he could not find what Lu Qiu said, "a person who is not tall, dressed in shabby clothes, and seems to be from Jiangcheng City with a cat."
They had no choice but to find a way to find the accommodation area in Yanlou.
Various excuses and methods appeared.
Relying on connections, under the guise of ‘visiting’ friends.
They searched layer by layer.
I went all the way to the eighth floor and found nothing.
so……
Shang Jun looked at the elevator.
"There is another level..." He raised his head, but did not dare to go up.
Because the ninth floor is where only members of the royal family can live.
Nine is the ultimate number.
Especially the ninth floor of Yan Tower is even more special.
Because this is Luming Villa.
Yo yo, the sound of the deer, the apple of the food field, I have a guest, the sound of the deer, the harp and the sheng at the villa.
In the Federal Empire, the word "Yan" has a special meaning.
For example, the Imperial Cabinet Office Building is called the Empire State Building.
The Empire State Building is divided into two parts, the Zhou Tower in the south and the Yan Tower in the north.
Corresponding to the center and the place respectively.
The same is true for the Federal Empire State Security Department. Zhou Tower is the central security and Yan Tower is the local security.
The office of the Imperial Homeland Garrison Headquarters is in Beidu, also known as Yanji in ancient times.
The National Strategic Defense Command is in Luoyang, the ancient city of Zhouyi.
Therefore, Yan Tower is actually Zhao Gong Tower.
Corresponds to the local powerful faction.
Those who can live on the ninth floor must be those that the Federation Empire believes can be equal to or even surpass them.
Historically, Frederick, the great leader of Prussia in the Qin Dynasty, came to visit, and the place where he gave a speech was the Yan Tower of the Council of Ministers.
When Bachelor Newton came to China, he stayed in a hotel called the Yanjing Hotel.
The Butaniya clothing he brought was called "tuxedo" by Taizong.
Only names and tools cannot be faked!
In the Federal Empire, details matter.
Therefore, he is not qualified to go up to the ninth floor.
Shang Jun was blinking when he saw the elevator going down.
Someone came down from the ninth floor, and he quickly pressed the button.
The elevator door opened.
He looked into the elevator and saw a young girl.
She is about sixteen or seventeen years old, a simple and elegant girl wearing traditional Silla clothes.
Seeing him, the girl immediately retreated to the side of the elevator.
Shang Juan's heart moved, he walked in, and then greeted the girl: "Hello!"
"Hello, young master!" The other party was full of blessings, impeccable.
"Girl, you have worked hard serving our country!"
The girl nodded slightly: "Serving the heroes of the Great Kingdom, I dare not speak of hardship..."
Shang Jun was overjoyed: "Sure enough, Master X lives on the ninth floor!"
Yin Mingxiu was also overjoyed: "Sure enough, I am serving a real power..."
She recalled the young man she saw.
He is easy-going, humble in speech, plainly dressed, elegant in manner, and personable...
"Fan Wenzhenggong said: Worry first when the world is worried, and rejoice when the world is happy later. Is he probably referring to that young master?" Thinking of this, Yin Mingxiu's fighting spirit was high.
"Young master, there is no time for the world but for yourself..."
"So...I must serve him well!"
The elevator door opened.
The two people, each with their own thoughts, walked in two directions.
……………………
Li Anan drove into the city from the Ring Expressway.
Then we found a parking lot in front of the most prosperous 'Rende Building' in the center of the imperial capital.
After parking the car, Li Anan took out a bank card from himself and handed it to Chu Weiwei.
"Weiwei, please help Ping An choose his clothes..." Li Anan smiled slyly: "I still have a mission in the bureau!"
Chu Weiwei was caught off guard by this sudden attack: "Captain...I don't know how to choose..."
Li Anan smiled and said: "Weiwei! I can trust your vision!"
As she said that, she started to chase people away: "Hurry up and buy clothes!"
"I'll come and pick you up when I get off work!"
She said while looking at her watch: "Weiwei, hurry up, I've delayed my work, the higher ups have to blame me!"
Chu Weiwei had no choice but to nod: "Then I'll do my best!"
Lingpingan shook his head, knowing what his aunt meant.
He knew that his aunt was forcing him to marry him.
But the problem is...
He got out of the car, looked at Miss Chu, and smiled apologetically: "Oh, my aunt has been like this since she was a child... I hope Miss Chu can be more tolerant!"
Chu Wei smiled, she was used to it: "It's okay, the captain likes to joke!"
"I'll take you to buy clothes first!" Chu Weiwei said, holding the bank card in her hand. To be honest, the senior officer of the Black Guard no longer needs to think about money.
The real value within Black Guard is points.
For example, after Li Anan broke through to become a major, the Black Guards directly rewarded her with five million yuan, and also provided her with a 140-square-meter finely decorated house in the imperial capital, worth more than 20 million yuan.
Not to mention Chu Weiwei himself, the Chu family in Qingcheng Mountain has had extraordinary people for generations.
My family is extremely rich, and I have never had to worry about money since I was a child.
As long as she needs it, she can book the entire mall and shop as she pleases with just one phone call.
However, considering that the captain's nephew seems to know nothing about the supernatural world.
Chu Weiwei didn't intend to disturb him anymore.
After all, the world of extraordinary people is too dangerous and cruel.
Lingpingan sighed and said in a consultative tone: "Miss Chu, can we buy some clothes and then find a coffee shop to sit down and kill the time?"
Chu Wei shook his head: "This is not possible!"
"I dare not fail to complete the tasks assigned by the captain!"
The Black Guards are a military organization.
In the military, obeying orders is your duty!
Lingpingan sighed and couldn't help but slump.
Shopping……
Terrible shopping!
In his mind, he recalled the painful memories of shopping with his aunt in the past.
I spent a day shopping and trying on clothes thousands of times.
Finally bought two pieces...
but……
Considering that if I refuse, I'm afraid my aunt will come back and kill her immediately.
He could only nod: "Miss Chu, please don't pick too many..."
Chu Wei smiled, extremely happy: "Definitely!"
Speaking of which, this is the first time in her life that she has helped someone with a different surname buy clothes.
"Let's go!" She said cheerfully: "I will take you to Renyi Building for shopping!"
Even extraordinary people, even extraordinary people who have experienced countless dangers and terrors in the nightmare world.
She is still passionate about shopping.
Because this is nature!
Women's shopping is the same as men's playing games. It is a natural instinct regardless of class or education level.
Then he took Lingpingan to the Renyi Building, which was crowded with people and bustling in front of him.
Entering the building, you will find exquisite jewelry shops.
Passing through the jewelry store, there are clothing stores in front of them.
One by one, people are dazzled by the brands.
Lingpingan looked at the specialty store and couldn't help but shrink his head.
because……
Although he has never worn any of these brands of clothing, he knows a little bit about them.
Just like that 'Pegasus', it is said that any belt costs several thousand yuan, which is simply terrifying!
And that "good luck", a pair of shoes costs at least 20,000 yuan.
Simply terrible!
"How about..." Lingpingan couldn't help but said to Chu Weiwei: "Let's change places..."
"It's okay!" Chu Wei smiled and said, "I'll take you to the eighth floor..."
Lingpingan shrank his neck, the first floor was already so exaggerated, what about the eighth floor?
Chu Weiwei seemed to see Lingpingan's worry: "Don't worry...it won't cost much!"
The eighth floor of Renyi Building is a private customization area.
The clothes there are not priced.
But I need someone to introduce me and recommend me.
It can be regarded as the real luxury area of the imperial capital.
The Chu family happened to have a self-operated store there.
Lingpingan smiled and was about to answer when his cell phone rang.
I lowered my head and saw a message from Hu Nuonuo: "Sorry, sir, I just received a patient, so I will arrive a little later!"
Lingpingan smiled and replied casually: "It doesn't matter, I have already arrived in the Imperial City..."
"My aunt asked a friend to take me shopping for clothes!"
"!!!!" Hu Nuonuo seemed very excited and immediately sent a message: "Sir, where are you? I'll be right over!"
Lingpingan thought for a while and replied: "The eighth floor of Renyi Building!"
"Sir, please wait for me, I'll be right over!" Hu Nuonuo couldn't wait to send the message.
Just at this time, Chu turned around slightly, looked at Lingpingan, and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Lingpingan said with a smile: "A friend said he wanted to come over!"
"Oh..." Chu nodded slightly, but didn't take it to heart.
The two of them took the escalator of the building and kept going up.
We soon arrived at the seventh floor.
However, there was no sign of the eighth floor. All that appeared in front of us was the reminder of the ninth floor.
Lingpingan became confused: "Why isn't there an eighth floor?"
Chu Wei smiled and said: "The eighth floor is hidden!"
"Businessmen in this imperial capital are taboo about talking..."
"Huh?" Lingpingan didn't quite understand.
"I'm so nervous..." Chu Wei smiled and said, "Those who do business don't like 8..."
Lingpingan shook his head: "In Jiangcheng City, eight is a good number to make a fortune!"
"That's Guangnan!" Chu Weiwei said: "The Central Plains area is not superstitious..."
"So, to go to the eighth floor, you have to take the stairs!" Chu Weiwei led Lingpingan to a fire escape on the seventh floor, then opened the door and entered.
The moment he entered the door, the cat that Lingpingan had been holding in his hands suddenly meowed softly.
Meow!
Going up the stairs, the lights came on one after another.
Chu's pupils shrank slightly and he looked back at the cat that he had always ignored.
"Master Ling..." she asked with a smile: "Your cat is really spiritual!"
Lingpingan laughed heartily: "This guy Best... is indeed very spiritual!"
He gently stroked the cat in his arms.
From Chu Weiwei's perspective, the cat's body was filled with spiritual light.
Incomparably powerful psychic pressure was released from all directions.
So, where is the cat?
It is clearly an extremely terrifying and powerful alien!
Cat demon!
And it’s a cat demon above the general level!
Chu blinked slightly, many things appeared in his mind.
She asked tremblingly: "Sir... have you ever heard of... the nightmare world?"
Lingpingan laughed: "Are you talking about nightmare legends?"
"I have played with a few vests..."
Chu Weiwei's pupils suddenly dilated, and the nightmare mark did not block her words.
so……
Opposite her is a participant in the nightmare game!
The first game participant she met in reality!
He has always been what he thought was the 'unremarkable' captain's nephew, an unknown ordinary person!
besides……
What does he mean by vest?
Chu Weiwei remembered something, and she asked: "So... Master... do you know a man named 'Poor Monk Fahai'?"
Lingpingan laughed loudly: "That's my vest!"
Chu swallowed slightly, and in a daze, she seemed to see the face of the young man opposite, a burly monk's face overlapped with his.
"Amitabha!"
"Donor, we meet again!"
"World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas!"
Chu Wei was slightly excited.
Everything can be explained.
There is no love and care for no reason in this world.
She thought about her milestones.
Related account!
There are few golden nightmare milestones that only a few people in the entire nightmare space can possess, but she easily obtained them!
"I am indeed a well-connected person!" She lowered her head. She finally knew that she was not actually lucky, but that the captain was taking care of her and Fuze her.
She finally understood why the governor wanted to go to Jiangcheng in person.
I now know why so many strange things happened in Jiangcheng City.
It's all him!
The young man in front of me!
so……
Chu Weiwei's heart was beating loudly.
She didn't know why, but she remembered the captain's suggestions again and again.
"Wei Wei...my nephew is pretty good..."
"Weiwei, let me tell you, if you marry my nephew..."
"Wei Wei, come and see, my nephew's food is delicious, isn't it?!"
She thought again of the meal she had eaten in Jiangcheng City.
Incomparably delicious, extremely sweet, just like the food of the gods.
more importantly……
After eating that meal, she often got some inexplicable reminders in the nightmare world.
"You have been cursed by XXX. Because there is high-dimensional energy in your body, this curse has been offset!"
"You have been radiated by the lord-level ferocious beast...the data is wrong...you are resisting the radiation of this ferocious beast..."
More importantly, her journey from lieutenant to captain to major was smooth and smooth.
Breakthrough is effortless.
Even the lieutenant colonel who made the last move was probably the same.
The captain also admitted to her personally that she would break through if she wanted to...
Recalling this, Chu Wei was very excited and was about to step forward to express his thanks.
Just listen to Lingpingan smile and say: "But I haven't played that game for a long time!"
"One is because something has delayed...the other is, that crappy game server is under maintenance..."
Chu was slightly stunned.
game?
The nightmare world is just a game in his eyes?
Or... is he hinting to me not to expose him?
After thinking about it carefully, Chu Weiwei understood.
She automatically made up a picture in her mind, a powerful transcendent. In order to protect her relatives, she was willing to lie dormant and hide her strength.
He arranged everything for his relatives in every detail.
Let her fly higher willingly.
But he doesn't want to be honest.
Is it because there is something unspeakable or because there are difficulties?
No matter which one it is, Chu Weiwei knows that since the other party is unwilling, she must keep it confidential.
Lingpingan looked at Chu Weiwei and said with a smile: "Miss Chu also plays that game? When the server opens, I will open an account and take you to brush the copy!"
As he spoke, he burst into laughter.
Chu lowered her head slightly, knowing in her heart that the other party was reminding her.
