I sneered: "It turned out to be red for the lantern."
Wei Zhuyan said: "Originally our president sternly refused, but this time the special department has an important mission to go to Europe. If the Alchemist Alliance opposes us everywhere, it will be very difficult to complete this mission."
He paused, and said: "This task is of great importance. If it is more serious, it may affect China's national destiny."
He stood up, bowed deeply to me, and said, "Ms. Yuan, please save Huaxia this time."
I was taken aback, and quickly said, "Wait, don't put such a tall hat on me, I have a small head and I can't hold it up. Mr. Wei, do you want me to show up with a lantern?"
"That's just one of them," he said.
I opened my eyes wide and said, "Do you want me to bring out something else?"
"No." He said hastily, "We want to invite you to fight against the alchemists of the European Alchemist Alliance."
"Me?" I asked suspiciously, "Mr. Wei, there are so many talents in your Alchemist Association, why do you want me to take action?"
Wei Zhuyan said: "The rules set by Europe this time, the elders will not make a move, let alchemists of the third level and below compete. Speaking of alchemists below the third level, in China, except you, no one else Couldn't have asked for a better one."
This flattery was so loud that even I felt comfortable listening to it.
Wei Zhuyan said seriously: "Ms. Yuan, if you don't make a move, we will hardly have a chance of winning."
I rubbed my chin and said, "Are you the first lobbyist? If you can't persuade me, the special department will send someone?"
Wei Zhuyan said sternly: "Ms. Yuan understands righteousness deeply, so there is no need for repeated persuasion."
I smiled: "Mr. Wei, I understand why I sent you here as a lobbyist. Your eloquence is really unmatched."
Wei Zhuyan lowered his head slightly and said, "It's a great honor for me to be praised by Ms. Yuan."
"Forget it." I waved my hand and said, "This matter is caused by me, and I should have resolved it. When will the competition start?"
"A week later." Wei Zhuyan's eyes showed a bit of joy. I know what their plan is. I have a god-level master as the backstage. If I really can't win, that great master might make a move. In short, the Alchemist Association You won't suffer.
"But..." I suddenly said, "Mr. Wei, if I win the competition, the things they brought out..."
Wei Zhuyan understood, and said: "Don't worry about this, if you win, you can choose those things as you like."
I nodded in satisfaction, and after a few days, the Alchemist Association sent a special plane to pick me up, and I finally saw how extravagant the alchemists are.
All the furniture and furnishings in the plane are top-notch, even the table lamps are decorated with Swarovski crystals, and the freezer is full of world-renowned wines. There are dozens of bottles in a winery. Wei Zhuyan took out a bottle , Pour it for me, I took a sip, and it tasted the same, not as good as my fruit wine.
The headquarters of the Alchemist Association is in the center of Jinling City. I originally thought that it was a Ming and Qing style building like Yaowang Valley, but the facts told me that I was too naive.
I stood in front of a skyscraper and raised my head high, but I couldn't see the top.
This is at least a hundred floors, right
This is a very modern building, and it is completely unimaginable that this is the base camp of alchemists.
"Ms. Yuan, please." Wei Zhuyan took me in and took the elevator to the 36th floor. It was Peng Yuyan who met me. The old vice president was more enthusiastic than last time, and his face was always With a kind smile, the enthusiasm makes my hair stand on end.
He also gave me a meeting gift, which was a precious spiritual plant worth tens of millions. I was unwilling to accept such a precious gift, but he forced it into my hands.
I'm speechless, if they knew that Senior Yin Changsheng would never come out again, I don't know if they would be so enthusiastic.
There are special guest rooms in the Alchemist Association building, and I was arranged to live in the top guest room. Several groups of people came to visit in a day, which made me tired of coping.
I knew I would come back in two days.
In the evening, there was a small banquet held in the cafeteria of the building. It was a kind of refreshment for me. I went in and took a look. Is this also called a cafeteria
Luxurious decoration, there are exquisite murals on the ceiling, Dunhuang Flying Apsaras is lifelike, the ribbons on the body seem to be floating down, the Swarovski crystal chandeliers on more than ten floors, the buffet with spiritual plants, placed on the golden velvet cloth On the long table, the air is filled with the intoxicating aroma of food.
This is called the unit canteen? I don't read much, so don't lie to me.
Those who came to this small banquet today are all senior officials who are permanently stationed at the headquarters of the association, and most of the directors with higher status are not at the headquarters, but are studying alchemy in their own homes.
I chatted and laughed happily with these officials. The banquet was just halfway through when I heard an arrogant voice saying: "With such a woman, she is also worthy to represent our Alchemist Association to face the Alchemist Alliance?"
I turned around and saw a man in a thin black leather jacket holding a glass of red wine, leaning against the table and looking at me with sarcasm. Beside him stood several young people in his grade. Girl, you look at me with disdain.
Wei Zhuyan's face was gloomy, and he stepped forward and said, "Jing Si, why are you here?"
Jing Jingsi sneered: "As the secretary of the association, why can't I come to this banquet? You think you can make excuses and send me out to shut me up?"
He put the cup on the table, and said coldly: "This woman is not from our association at all, we don't even know who her master is, and no one has seen what she has, so why should we fight on behalf of our association?" ?”
Wei Zhuyan was angry: "Jing Si, did you take Vice President Peng's words as wind?"
Jing Jingsi sneered and said, "Of course I respect President Peng, but I can't trust this woman's strength."
Wei Zhuyan still wanted to talk, but I interrupted him: "Then what do you want?"
Jing Jing raised her chin and said, "I want to compete with you."
I said coldly: "What if I don't want to?"
Jing Jingsi sneered and said: "You don't dare to compare with me, but you still want to compare with the people of the Alchemist Alliance?"
"I just don't want to waste time," I said quietly.
"Hehe, I think you're afraid of our security officer?" A young woman next to Jing Si sneered.
"A woman from a humble background and unknown background, also wants to compare with our Brother An?" Another person rolled his eyes, "What a big joke."
"Although our brother An is a third-level alchemist, he has the strength of a fourth-level. How can she compare with Brother An?"
No one around spoke for me, and many people looked at me silently, with an expression of watching the show.
I smiled and said, "It seems that there are quite a few people who doubt my ability."
Wei Zhuyan was a little embarrassed and said, "Ms. Yuan, don't get me wrong..."
I raised my hand to stop him from continuing, and said: "I can understand that all of you here are alchemists who have been famous for a long time. I can't even get out the door."
There was a bit of sarcasm in my tone, Wei Zhuyan's face was a little bad, no matter what, I was invited by him, Jing Jingsi did this, it was obviously not to give Peng Yuyan and him face.
"Okay! Have fun!" Jing Jingsi clapped her hands and said, "Ms. Yuan, I will give you a chance to set the rules. How do you compare?"
I said: "It's very simple. A lot of spiritual plants are used in the ingredients of this banquet. Let's use these spiritual plants to refine the elixir. Whoever refines the elixir with the highest grade will win, how?"
Jing Jingsi narrowed his eyes slightly, and the young woman beside him smiled and said, "You are asking for your own death, who doesn't know that Brother An has the most pills in his hands."
"And we, Brother An, can study the Dan recipe by ourselves." The other said, "The Dan recipe researched by Brother An last time was praised by the chairman."
"Yeah, the president hasn't left the customs for a long time, but last time he went out specially for this new pill recipe."
"It seems that Ms. Yuan, you are bound to lose."
