Sitting in the Tissot cockpit, looking at the holographic screen in front of him, with his hands relaxed on the main console, Ye Zhong took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and his chest contracted and expanded rapidly like a bellows. After a few seconds, Ye Zhong's rising and falling chest gradually stabilized, and finally rose and fell slowly and rhythmically. The past thirty or so training sessions were constantly replayed in his mind, and he carefully understood his mistakes.
Huo Di, Ye Zhong suddenly opened his eyes: "Start!"
Tissot was like a black warrior standing there quietly. When the ball of light almost hit it, it suddenly moved from stillness, and its right palm hit the center of the ball of light accurately like a knife. The ball of light turned into a burst of light in an instant, floating in the darkness. At the same time, he turned his body slightly to the right, and his left elbow seemed to have an eye. The sharp cone at the elbow joint accurately hit a light ball flying from behind, and turned into a fine rain of light.
Its movements are getting faster and faster, and every joint in its body is surprisingly flexible. All of these joints are weapons for its attacks!
If there are still people watching this scene, they will definitely be fascinated by this beautiful scenery. With Tissot as the center, it seems to form a circular light curtain. The shadowy figure of Tissot was vaguely visible in the light curtain. Countless balls of light flew toward the white pillar of light like moths flying into the flame. Then, in an instant, they silently turned into tiny bits of crystal. The broken light fell like rain, falling from the light curtain and flying in the air. It was as beautiful as a dream. .
Ye Zhong still couldn't hold on for five minutes. After three minutes, the difficulty suddenly increased. If he could dodge, he believed that he would be able to hold on for ten minutes.
After exiting the virtual network, Ye Zhong felt physical fatigue. To be precise, it should be mental fatigue. High concentration for a long time can easily make people tired. Ye Zhong felt a little dizzy when he logged off the virtual network. He took a few deep breaths before he felt a little back to normal.
Not long after, someone came to invite Ye Chong to dinner.
Robert and Shang Changming talked for several hours in the inner hall, and no one knew what they were talking about. It's just that the two of them were chatting and laughing when they came out, and they seemed to be having a good conversation.
There were a lot of people at this dinner. Of course, this was only for Ye Chong, who was attending this kind of dinner for the first time.
Present on Robert's side were Robert, Bai Linan, Ah Zhen, and Ye Chong. There were still four guards standing behind Robert. Only then did Ye Chong see clearly the appearance of Robert's four mysterious personal guards.
The faces of the four of them were a bit pale, and they all had cold expressions on their faces, but they were somewhat similar to Ye Chong. Black suits were much more pleasing to the eye on them than on Ye Chong. The four of them stood with their hands solemnly, standing motionless behind Robert like a piece of wood.
The corners of Ye Zhong's eyes twitched suddenly.
Next to the ear of one of his closest guards, Ye Chong saw a line that was not very eye-catching. This line that extended to the collar of his clothes was like a dividing line. The skin colors on both sides had quite obvious differences. The difference is that the skin color of the line near the back of the neck is no different from that of ordinary people. It is not as pale as the face that has not been exposed to the star's light for a long time.
Ye Zhong also discovered this on the other three guards, and suddenly he felt like a storm was rising in his heart! He almost immediately thought of masks! Only wearing a mask for a long time can cause such a huge difference in skin color! Originally, when I saw them using double continuous arc steps, I had some doubts that they were people from the Black Corner. Now he can almost conclude that these four people must be from Noire! Only people from Black Horn would wear masks, and he himself had worn a Black Horn mask before, so he knew that the edge of the Black Horn mask happened to match that line! Your face will naturally become pale if you wear a mask for a long time.
Suppose these four are from Pointe Noire. So what is the relationship between Robert and Noire? Black Horn was actually willing to equip him with four Black Horn warriors as guards, which shows how much he was valued!
This Robert is not simple!
Ye Zhong tried his best to keep his expression normal. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to him at this time. After digesting this shocking discovery, Ye Chong quickly calmed down. Why didn't the other party take any action against me? Didn't Heijiao always want to catch him? He didn't believe that they would let him go so easily. That was really not Heijiao's style.
Could it be that the other party deliberately pretended not to recognize him and then went to ask for help
Anyway. Leaving as soon as possible should be the right choice! Ye Chong had already begun to think about how to leave as soon as possible.
Shang Changming's party was attended by many people. In addition to Shang Changming and Shang Xin, there were also some other important members of the business. On the other hand, Shang Changming was slightly surprised to see Ye Chong actually appearing at this dinner table, but after thinking about it for a moment, he showed a somewhat relieved expression.
The dinner ended in a very pleasant atmosphere. Ye Chong was preoccupied, so the food naturally tasted like wax in his mouth.
"Mu, it looks like we have to leave as soon as possible!" Ye Chong said to Mu in his heart.
"Well, but it's best to choose a more appropriate time, otherwise it will easily attract others' attention! This sentence was said by Shang. But I also agree!" Ye Zhong couldn't guess what happened during the exchange between Mu and Shang. However, Mu will always convey Shang's opinions when encountering situations that he is not familiar with. But it seems that such virtue will never appear in Shang!
Shang's words are undoubtedly very reasonable, and Ye Chong also understands that if he acts too eagerly, he may attract more attention, and what he fears most now is attracting attention.
So many experiences. It also prompted Ye Zhong to continue to grow! If it had been in the past, I was afraid that Ye Zhong would immediately summon the light armor and stay outside.
Now that he had decided to find a suitable time to leave, Ye Chong noticed the deliciousness of the food. In addition, he didn't want to attract too much attention, so he just immersed himself in eating. He had no experience entering such situations and had no idea how noticeable his behavior would be in such situations. The others just tasted it and dealt with it a little bit, and he was the only one eating it! At a dinner like this, everyone will try their best to behave more politely, so eating is just a means. What everyone cares about is to get closer to each other on this occasion.
Others looked at Ye Zhong with strange eyes, and quite a few of the merchants showed a bit of contempt and disdain in their eyes.
Mu still conveyed Shang's words meticulously: "Yi Zi, you idiot, you are simply destroying the image. Oh my God, how could I know someone like you!" Mu imitated Shang's plaintive tone perfectly. certainly. He couldn't forget to add: "Yi Zi, this is what Shang said. You know, I'm not familiar with these! I think it's more likely that what Shang said is correct!"
"Did I do something wrong?" Ye Chong was a little confused.
"Yi Zi, I think it's better to let Shang solve these problems!" Mu has always been like this, always choosing the best method at the moment.
"Haha, I thought it would take several days to come out. I didn't expect to be able to come out for air now. Although it only lasts for three hours, it is much better than being suffocated down there! We have to thank our lovely leaves for this!" Shang Laughed wildly.
Ye Chong lamented in his heart, alas, this guy is really depressed! I hope he won't come up with any weird ideas this time!
"Well, Ye Zi, you listen to my command now!" Shang hesitated with great ambition. It's like a child finally finding an interesting toy.
Hearing Shang's tone, Ye Chongyou couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: "Okay! But. Shang, don't play around. It’s too much!”
"Well, no, no!" Shang's tone made Ye Zhong know that his words had been ignored.
"Okay, let's begin!" Shang said excitedly.
"Ye Zi, you have successfully attracted everyone's attention now, although the method is indeed clumsy enough. But don't worry too much, hehe. This kind of small problem is really a piece of cake for me! But in order to avoid you making the same mistake next time , I want to explain it to you!" Shang's words were full of strong confidence in himself.
"Oh, why?" Ye Chong was also very curious about what he did wrong.
Seeing Ye Zhong's question, Shang became even more enthusiastic: "Ye Zhong, social interaction is a profound knowledge. It seems that you need to study social etiquette systematically. Dinners like this are not for nobles to fill their bellies. They People usually have something to eat before dinner, so that they can focus more on communicating with others rather than on food! Don’t neglect communication at the dinner table. It is a very important part of upper-class communication. It is an important way and an effective means to bring people closer to each other.”
"Oh!" Ye Chong seemed to understand.
"You just made five mistakes. First, you should have eaten the dessert in front of you first, not the staple food on your plate. Second, you used the tableware wrong. Third, usually For example, after you take three to four bites of the staple food, you should take a sip of the glass of wine placed on your left. Fourth, it is undoubtedly very impolite to immerse yourself in eating without talking to others. Fifth, the way you present yourself while eating It’s really bad.”
"Oh my god, is this still a meal?" Ye Zhong, who was as big as two heads, couldn't help but moan in his heart.
"Ye Zi, this is an elegant knowledge!" Shang said proudly.
"Tch, I don't see how elegant this is!" Ye Chong disapproved. In his opinion, these rules that are difficult to remember have undoubtedly made the originally very simple matter of eating very complicated. And very inefficient.
"Hey, I know I won't be able to explain it to you for a while. Just listen to what I say!" Shang gave up and let Ye Chong accept all this now.
"Well, okay!" Ye Chong didn't object to this. After all, he understood what kind of situation he was in now. If he was not strong enough to break the rules, he would have to abide by the rules if he wanted to protect himself.
"Ye Zi, do you see the third piece of tableware from the left in front of you?"
"This one?" Ye Zhong picked up a table knife with a serrated edge and a thorn on the back.
"Yes! That's it. Now pick up another table knife with your left hand, the one with a straight metal handle! Hey, holding the knife with both hands is an ancient way of eating for nobles. Because this method is very difficult. It's big, so not many people know about it now, but in a wealthy family like this, someone will definitely know this posture. And what we have to do is to let them see it! Hehe." Shang Yin said with a smile.
"You must move your hands slowly, and each cut should be about the size of your thumb. Your elbows should be slightly open, and pay attention to the expression on your face. You must make yourself look calm. Hey, the expression on your face is difficult for you. !”
Ye Zhong followed quietly. Ye Zhong's precise control of power allowed him to use both swords with ease.
Everyone at the dinner table was still chatting animatedly with each other, and most of them didn't notice Ye Chong's change. However, some of the older members of the merchant looked at each other, slightly surprised, obviously seeing something "special" about Ye Chong. And the vast majority of people still looked at Ye Chong with such disdain.
"Yi Zi, now you can go back to your old way of eating!" Shang Thief said with a smile.
"Why is this?" Ye Zhong couldn't understand.
Shang explained carefully: "Don't worry, everyone here is very smart. They will definitely see your performance in just a few minutes. If they know this ancient and difficult method, they will definitely change it." My opinion on you! Ye Zi, please remember, don’t let your opponents know what you are going to do next! Your sudden reveal of your skills will make them feel unpredictable, and they will not think that you are ignorant and a country bumpkin. They may think that you are This was done unintentionally. Maybe some of them are guessing that you are a descendant of an ancient nobleman whose decline is unknown! Haha, of course, they may also think that you are hiding something, but this is all It has nothing to do with you! Doesn’t it?”
"Hmm!" These issues are indeed not what I need to consider.
The food on the table tastes great, and this should be the most delicious thing Ye Chong has eaten so far. Since Shang said it didn't matter, Ye Zhong ate as much as he could. For a moment, everyone at the table looked sideways, and several old men in the merchant looked at each other. Robert had a thoughtful look in his eyes, but soon he started talking and laughing with Shang Changming.
After the dinner, Ye Chong showed no strange behavior anymore. Shang actually managed to keep his composure and didn't say anything, which surprised Ye Chong! Just when Ye Zhong thought everything was finally over, Shang, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to suddenly come to life: "Ye Zhong, the main event is here!"
