Rick was wearing brand new clothes, rubbing his fingers nervously and uneasily.
Today is his test day.
Every ten-year-old child needs to pass the test. No matter whether you are born rich or poor, you will get a chance—a chance to change your life.
Of course, it's not the only one.
Even if you fail, you can learn 'mysterious knowledge', or learn 'scientific knowledge'.
'City That Never Sleeps' has good enough benefits.
But, Rick still wants to be a 'saint' if he can!
Be one of those 999 saints.
Be the bravest warrior under your crown.
Become a gourmet loved by the residents of the 'city that never sleeps'.
Be a hero to be sung.
Therefore, he was very disturbed.
Worry about not being successful.
"Teacher Lian, can I do it?"
Rick softly asked the teacher in the orphanage beside him.
"certainly!"
"Rick, you are a child who believes in 'light'!"
"So, it must be possible!"
The teacher clenched his fist to encourage Rick.
She said it was a teacher, but she was actually a girl of seventeen or eighteen, wearing a clean white shirt and a black suspender skirt, with two golden ponytails tied up high, shaking up and down as she clenched her fists.
"Um!"
With the teacher's encouragement, Rick nodded vigorously.
And 'Lian' touched Rick's head, and then went to appease more children behind him.
As the teacher of the No. 36 Welfare Institute, 'Lian' is very good. Although she is young, she is deeply loved by the students. 'saint'!
Of course, the identity behind is hidden.
This is what every 'saint' must have.
After becoming a 'saint', it takes three years to systematically learn fighting, swordsmanship, shooting, and mysterious knowledge. Food and basic cooking skills.
After that, there is a one-to-three-year battlefield 'apprentice'.
Then, after returning to the 'city that never sleeps', one to three years' 'vacation' will be obtained.
This 'vacation' requires hiding one's identity, entering various industries in the 'city that never sleeps', and living as an ordinary person.
'Lian' chose the teacher of the orphanage.
Because she was born in an orphanage.
Some of her companions chose the front desk of the hotel, the handyman in the back kitchen, the vendor at the stall, and some simply chose to wander.
At first she didn't know why there was such an arrangement.
But, slowly, she understood.
Whenever she sees the innocent and lovely appearance of the children, she has a determination to protect such a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
'Lian' prayed in a low voice.
As a 'saint', she knows what a bad 'city that never sleeps' was like thirty years ago.
If it hadn't been for the appearance of 'His Majesty', the entire 'City That Never Sleeps' would probably have been destroyed.
It is impossible to have the current life.
Not only live and work in peace and contentment, but also rich in resources.
Every resident of the 'City That Never Sleeps' has the most complete welfare system.
From birth, there will be a sum of money enough to live in the account every month. If you are sick, there will be a free medical system to help you tide over the difficulties. Everyone can choose a job according to their hobbies.
After retirement, there is also a complete pension system to help residents complete the end of life.
Her mentor is out of this stage right now.
In battle, her mentor lost an arm and both legs, so, retired early.
In this regard, her teacher expressed dissatisfaction.
Because the new robotic arms and legs are very useful.
Recently, he is applying to return to the battlefield, but there is a high probability that it is impossible—according to the rules of 'Her Majesty', heroes who return from the battlefield should be treated like heroes.
So, her mentor became their mentor, teaching the newcomers.
Thinking from the bottom of her heart, when her mentor said that she could go to the battlefield to bring more honor to the 'City That Never Sleeps', the corners of 'Lian' couldn't help but curl up.
Because she thought so too.
When the 'holiday' is over, she will also return to the battlefield!
Now she is already a 'saint' second-level 'taste seeker', and when she is promoted to a 'taster', she will apply for an early end of vacation.
She wants to be promoted to 'Predator' quickly!
That is a captain-level character who can act alone or lead a team!
However, if you want to become a 'predator', you must be on the battlefield to be able to complete it!
While thinking in his heart, 'Lian' raised the little red flag in his hand.
"No. 36 Welfare Institute, students in grade 3, come with me!"
"Please keep an eye on the little red flag in the teacher's hand!"
"We're about to board the car!"
'Lian' shouted loudly.
Immediately, 30 children lined up in two rows in an orderly manner, followed behind 'Lian', and waited for the school bus.
The car started and soon drove on the ring road.
Ordinary vehicles along the way politely avoided.
From zone 30 to zone 1.
More and more school buses gathered.
After entering Zone 1, a total of 100 school buses stopped in an orderly manner.
And these are just the vehicles of the orphanage.
On the other side are public school vehicles.
The number is several times that of the vehicles in the orphanage.
Under the leadership of their respective teachers, the students got out of the car and walked towards the largest building in District 1—'Food Hall'.
Before getting close, the rich fragrance hits the face.
"Today's main course has three—"
"Fried pork, Kung Pao chicken, braised pork!"
"Each student can choose the food you most yearn for and test it!"
"If you pass the test, you will become a saint!"
"However, even if you don't pass, you will get an additional opportunity-another lord under the crown has advanced to the 'Gourmet', this lord has created the 'Molecular Cuisine' branch line, and children who fail can also choose this lord to do it. try."
At the end of the square, an old man with gray hair said with a smile.
Once the owner of the 'Postman's House' and now the person in charge of the 'Gourmet Hall', the 'Old Man' never imagined that he would see the future of the 'City That Never Sleeps'.
That's right!
future!
The children in front of us are the future!
"Kids, come on!"
Watching the children enter the hall, the 'old man' blessed silently.
As for the offshoot of 'Molecular Gastronomy'
That's Lauren Delder!
No one thought that this guy would be the first guy to enter the seventh level.
In this regard, the 'old man' is not jealous, just a blessing.
And him
The 'Saints' places are not wasted.
I know my own affairs.
he is old.
Although Jason helped him find 'long lettuce', the increase in lifespan did not change his mind - he still likes to look at these 'futures'.
"How about it?"
The voice of 'Jin' came from the headset.
"Better than expected."
"The boys are doing well."
"Is your daughter going too?"
'Old man' said with a smile.
"Um."
"According to Lin, she changed her name, just like other children."
'Kim' replied.
"Are you worried that she will be treated preferentially?"
'the old man' asked.
"That's obvious. Even His Majesty allows 'fairness within reason', but I can't do that. As the deputy mayor of 'City That Never Sleeps', I need to lead by example."
"At the same time, whoever dares to do this, I will definitely kill Wushe!"
'Jin''s voice gradually became colder.
"Please!"
"Although so many years have passed, you have gone from one extreme to another, isn't it a bit exaggerated?"
The 'old man' smiled wryly.
"It's not an exaggeration!"
"It's a must!"
"Under the leadership of the mayor, 'City That Never Sleeps' has become prosperous and strong, but the mayor's heart is too kind, and he hates troubles, so, as the deputy mayor, I need to help the mayor solve these troubles .”
"I've seen 'City That Never Sleeps' look bad."
"Therefore, I absolutely do not allow 'City That Never Sleeps' to change back!"
The voice of 'Jin' is resounding.
The 'old man' smiled wryly.
It wasn't the first time he heard 'Kim' say that.
Every time, it is speechless.
So, the 'old man' changed the subject.
"'Lion', did you send a message back?"
"Well, it's back!"
"Do those guys from 'Shallow Water' really think that they can scare us with an attack in the Outland of 'Sleepless City'?"
"I will let them understand what regret is!"
"What do you mean life is better than death!"
After speaking, 'Jin' ended the call.
Needless to ask, the 'old man' also knew what 'Jin' was doing.
When the previous war between 'Sleepless City' and 'Yongle Capital' was at its most critical, 'Shallow Water' suddenly launched an attack on 'Sleepless City'. It is unforgivable for Te, Al, Lynn and all the old people in the 'city that never sleeps'.
Just like 'Kim' said.
After they saw the bad appearance of the 'city that never sleeps'.
Anyone who wants to change the 'city that never sleeps' back is trampling on the ideals they have fought for all their lives.
That is immortality.
"The 'City of Eternal Joy', 'City of Prosperity', and 'City of Daylight' have been integrated into the 'City That Never Sleeps'."
"There are still 'Shallow Water', 'Sea City', and 'Sword Canyon'. The former is nothing special, but the latter two are somewhat troublesome. One is completely water, and the other is all soldiers..."
"It would be great if Jason could make another shot."
When the 'old man' thought of the reason why Jason couldn't make a move, his expression suddenly became strange.
He didn't even know that Jason had provoked so many wonderful and terrifying women.
Moreover, these women are getting closer.
Every time Jason made a move, it made them more sure of where Jason was.
Therefore, after obtaining the authority of the 'Prosperous City' and 'City of Daylight', Jason immediately chose to use a 'more ordinary way' to solve the trouble.
This is also the reason why the 'City of Yongle' has been able to persist for two years.
Otherwise, if Jason made a move, he would directly crush the game.
But it's also a good thing.
At least the 'city that never sleeps' is thriving more and more.
hum!
The 'old man' was still thinking, and there were two lights in the 'food hall'
ha!
Immediately, the 'old man' laughed out loud.
This is where the new 'saints' emerge.
Still two!
Really nice!
It's getting better and better!
Thinking of this, the 'old man' walked in.
A boy, a girl.
The girl, he recognized and was very familiar with, was the daughter of 'Jin' and Lin: 'Dede'.
Blinked at Dede.
The 'old man' looked at the boy.
"Son, what's your name?"
"Rick!"
"My name is Rick!"
"My teacher is 'Lian'!"
Rick said excitedly.
"Okay, Rick."
"What did you choose... over-fat meat?"
The 'old man' reassured Rick.
'Lian', he knew, was a serious, kind girl and a 'saint'.
Talent is pretty good.
Especially cooking.
It has been praised by many people.
"Well, Teacher 'Lian' likes 'Guo Yourou' very much, so I chose 'Guo Yourou'—the 'Guo Yourou' just now. When I ate it, I felt warm in my heart, like On weekdays, Teacher 'Lian' holds a festive feast for us, which is as delicious as it is."
"I also saw..."
"Light!"
"Is the 'light' the Crown Prince?"
Rick asked curiously.
"Yes."
"He is Your Majesty."
"Rick, now you come with me."
"Becoming a saint requires some formalities."
As he said that, when the 'old man' took Rick's hand and wanted to hold Dede's hand, the little girl flicked coolly and walked aside alone.
The 'old man' smiled and shook his head.
children.
There is always a period of rebellion.
Rick looked at Dede's appearance with envy.
However, as an obedient child, he followed the guidance of the 'old man' and walked aside.
Go through the long hallway.
Push open the thick bronze door.
A small office appeared.
However, the office was empty.
Only one letter.
The 'old man' froze for a moment, picked up the letter and read it carefully, his face suddenly became helpless.
Jason ran again.
In the name of 'vacation'.
"Rick, Dede, Your Majesty has important things to do, so I can't see you for the time being, but when he comes back, he will definitely come to see you as soon as possible—I promise."
Facing the promise of the 'old man', Rick nodded solemnly.
And Dede
Some doubts.
Some guesswork.
Finally, it's cool again.
…
West coast, blue sea and blue sky.
Tanier, who was wearing big beach pants, was walking on the beach with sunscreen in his hand, and when he saw a pretty lady from time to time, he rushed up and asked, "Miss, do you need me to apply sunscreen?" '
result
Usually by spitting.
Occasionally get slapped.
So, by the time Tanier returned under the parasol, he had already been slapped into a pig's head.
"If it is known that the dean of the Deer Academy is an LSP, many people's dreams will be shattered!"
Jason teased.
"If people know the 'origin' of 'gravekeeper' and 'gourmet', and Jason, who is known as a god walking in the world, tries to restrain his strength because of fear of marriage, and curls up on a certain beach like a salted fish, I believe more people's dreams will be shattered."
Tanier fought back.
Jason was speechless and could only shrug.
"Are you going to continue to escape?"
Tanier asked.
"It's not an escape."
"It's just... not used to it."
"Obviously I just treat them as friends."
Jason explained.
"Scumbag!"
Tanier commented.
"It's not a scumbag, it's just that I'm not ready yet!"
Jason explained again.
"It's been so many years, use another excuse, old scumbag!"
Tanier rolled his eyes.
Jason looked at Tanier and lay down on the beach chair completely discouraged.
"All right!"
"I admit!"
"I'm afraid of marriage!"
"Gods also fear marriage?"
Tanier was very curious.
"The gods will still be henpecked—the last 'family dinner', when Mimosa burst out laughing, I saw with my own eyes how those eight guys shrunk their necks together."
"This made me have a deeper fear of marriage."
"You know, Mimosa is the so-called god of 'stove' and 'spring water', and is a famous good god in the entire dimension."
"If it were those guys..."
"I worry that I will..."
Jason grumbled.
The last words were inaudible.
Tanier took out two beers from the ice bucket beside him.
After throwing a bottle to Jason, he raised his hand.
Ding!
When the beer bottle was touched, amidst the crisp sound, the liquor swayed with a cold breath.
The sea breeze blows head on.
The sea in the distance made the sound of waves one after another.
Sunshine, let it go.
The beer entered his stomach from his mouth, and in an instant, a sense of comfort rose from the bottom of Jason's heart.
"Huh, life!"
Jason sighed loudly.
Then, he saw his friend standing up.
"how?"
Jason was taken aback.
Tanier smiled and toasted again, but this time he didn't clink glasses with Jason, but just picked up the beer in his hand, and said in emotional words—
"I wish you happiness!"
Um
Jason was taken aback.
For a moment, Jason felt something was wrong.
Subconsciously, I want to turn into light and run away.
However, several figures had already surrounded him.
Poor, with wide-eyed eyes, Denise is like an abandoned 'pet'.
With his right hand resting on his left, Arras was clenching his fists.
Giselle (Evelyn), the smiling 'pastry chef'.
Keeping elegant, but the crazy Jennifer flickers in her eyes from time to time.
Then there was Hui Lijing, Hui Lijing looked resentful at this time, as if she was spurning Jason for leaving without saying goodbye.
And Tang Doubao, who was a little worried and wanted to rush over, but was too embarrassed to act alone.
"Hi, hi... why are you here?"
"He didn't even notify me when he came, so I didn't even make any preparations."
Jason grinned dryly.
"notify?"
"So that you can run away?"
Jennifer sneered.
"how come?"
"I am… "
boom!
Jason still wanted to explain that Aras had punched Jason in the face.
"Let you run! Let you run!"
"I've been looking for you for 1,312 years!"
"I'm going to punch you one thousand three hundred and twelve punches!"
Hearing what Arras said, Jason, who was planning to get up and continue running, lay there obediently, letting Arras' fist hit his face like a storm.
"W-Will this be bad?"
Denise asked softly.
"Aren't you angry? Have you forgotten to find his way alone? And how did he do it?"
Jennifer questioned.
Denise immediately raised her foot angrily, and stomped on Jason hard.
However, it was just one kick.
When it was time for the second kick, Denise was a little bit reluctant.
Hui Lijing took a deep breath, and beat Jason hard with the scabbard knife.
She is also very angry.
However, she only smoked twice before seeing the 'pastry chef' Gichel (Evelyn) silently took out the medicine box.
What's even more exaggerated is that Tang Dou Bao actually set up a barbecue grill, brushing the food with sauce and putting it on it.
"you?"
"Don't worry about me, you go ahead, I'll bandage Jason in a while."
The 'pastry chef' smiled like an angel.
"The owner must be hungry."
"Over the years, I haven't forgotten to hone my cooking skills!"
Tang Dou Bao is busy.
Jennifer frowned, looking at the 'Pastry Chef' and Don Bean Bun who kept going back and forth.
Clearly agreed, teach Jason a lesson he will never forget.
Why did you suddenly change your mind
snort!
Bitchi!
Are you trying to show love to that bastard Jason
You are still a little short!
Jennifer touched her swollen belly, confident.
Looking at this scene in the distance, Tanier couldn't help but be speechless.
He seemed to have seen the miserable life of his friend.
But, he didn't regret it at all, and told these women where his friends were.
After all, he knew that if no one pushed him, his good friend would probably find excuses for himself to continue being an ostrich no matter how long it took.
Even if one excuse runs out.
There will be another excuse too.
And among these women, even the kindest two will accumulate more resentment over a long period of time.
Not to mention, the grumpy and black-bellied, crazy ones.
As time goes by, something unexpected may happen.
It's obviously a good thing, but if it turns out to be a tragedy...
What a pity.
So, he has no regrets!
and…
It wasn't him who was beaten!
"My brother and friend called me to drink soju, and when I drank..."
Tanier hummed, and moved the beach chair to a better angle where he could clearly see Jason being beaten. Then, he picked up the beer in his hand and raised his glass to Jason from a distance—
"Come on, enjoy a long vacation!"
"It's really..."
"good."
(End of the book)
End of this testimonial!
call!
Another book is done!
Fat Dragon let out a long breath.
Tell me, how did you feel when you wrote "The Witch Hunting Cookbook".
Writing "Hunting Demon", Feilong was extremely happy at the beginning!
At that time, the enthusiasm was surging, and the update was also very powerful. However, after more than a month of continuous explosion, Feilong's body had problems, and even the rhythm of the book also had problems.
Very helpless.
Feilong tried his best to adjust, but the effect was not very good.
Then, the epidemic appeared!
Before the outbreak of the epidemic, Feilong thought that as long as he had food, a computer, and the Internet, it would not be a problem to stay at home for a year or so, but in fact, Feilong was naive.
Let alone a year or a half, Feilong's mentality collapsed within a month.
Along with that, the rhythm of "Hunting Demon" was disrupted again.
Every day is to watch the news and check the specific situation of the epidemic.
I have absolutely no intention of doing anything else.
Thankfully, how great our country is!
Here, Feilong once again thanks those medical workers and volunteers who have selflessly contributed during the epidemic!
Thanks!
After staying at home for more than two months, Feilong, who was able to go out, completely let himself go.
Steady weight gain.
"Hunting" is once again out of rhythm.
However, Feilong was so addicted to food at that time that he didn't realize it at all.
By the time he regained his senses, it was already too late.
Feilong once again wanted to bring "The Demon Hunt" back, but it was very difficult, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a drop in the bucket.
These are all lessons!
Feilong will definitely learn his lesson in the next book!
Feilong has a general idea for the next book.
It also needs continuous improvement.
This book is over.
Jason started his vacation.
Feilong also needs to rest for a period of time (about 2-3 months). On the one hand, he is preparing new books, on the other hand, he is spending time with his family, and on the other hand, he is recuperating his body.
Writing a book is really not an easy job.
The long-term fatigue made the fat dragon, who was originally strong, fat and full of occupational diseases.
But the happy thing is that there are everyone who has always supported Feilong.
thanks for your support.
Thank you.
Feilong knows that this book has many shortcomings, but everyone still supports Feilong to finish writing the book.
Thank you very much.
Here, Feilong bowed to thank everyone.
Let's meet again later.
September 11, 2021, early morning
