Gu Qingshan never thought that the lame Barley was such a person.
This kind of person... probably doesn't even know what he will do.
It is even more difficult for others to guess his behavior.
Gu Qingshan felt a certain difficulty.
"Thank you for sharing." He said to the old man.
"It's nothing, just a little gossip." The old man laughed.
"Then I will rest."
"Well, I'll call you when I get there."
"Okay, thank you."
The two said goodbye.
Gu Qingshan entered his room and closed the door.
Too many things have happened recently, and they are all unexpected things. He needs a quiet environment to sort out slowly.
He looks around.
There is nothing in the whole room.
In the confined space, not to mention a lamp, there are not even the most basic tables and chairs.
This is an empty house.
Gu Qingshan was stunned.
Ordinarily, an organization like the Tower Guardian Association would not be able to provide such a simple room.
Just as he was thinking, he saw a candle lit from the darkness.
The candle was suspended in the air and floated in front of Gu Qingshan.
A soft female voice sounded in the room.
"Welcome, distinguished guest."
"Your race is: Human race."
"According to the law of original memory, we are extracting the most relaxing environment for you."
The sound disappears.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
The female voice appeared again.
"The environment that has been found to make you most comfortable and comfortable is as follows:"
"One: Rainbow Bar;"
"Second: The first room on the east side of the second floor of the mountain villa in the federal suburbs;"
"The third: the Lancao Hall of the Hundred Flowers Sect;"
"Fourth: Room 2203, 22nd Floor, Relief Building, Fifth Block, Free Federal Slums."
"Please choose the environment you like to ensure the comfort of this journey."
Gu Qingshan stood there thinking for a while.
"Fifth Street," he tried.
"Okay, the environment has been determined. This itinerary and supporting facilities are provided by the Tower Guardian Association. I wish you a pleasant journey."
The female voice fell silent.
The candle was extinguished accordingly.
Darkness returned to the room.
But something seems to have quietly changed.
Gu Qingshan released his divine sense again and observed the entire room.
Yes, the room has changed.
This is a cramped long single room.
There is no distinction between living room, bedroom and kitchen in the whole room, and there is barely room for a bed and a cabinet, and everything else has to be piled aside.
Not even a bathroom.
A chandelier hung alone from the ceiling, and the broken lamp tube was full of dust.
Such a living environment is considered inferior in the federal slums.
Gu Qingshan stared at his room.
He stood there for a while, as if remembering something.
The room was silent, as if waiting for him silently.
It wasn't until there was a faint gleam in the room that Gu Qingshan sighed.
He came to the window and looked out.
There are dark skyscrapers nearby, and there are only sporadic lights upstairs.
This is a slum.
Electricity is a precious thing, and people here are used to saving electricity.
Eyes cast into the distance.
The commercial and administrative districts of the capital in the distance are brightly lit.
Gu Qingshan stayed for a while.
Some old memories came to mind.
The scenes of those childhood and youth emerged one after another.
grew up alone.
This word, in some people's mouths, is just a beautiful discourse that flaunts individuality and decorates appearances.
For Gu Qingshan, these four words represent the incomparably real bitterness and loneliness.
He is an orphan.
Everything depends on yourself.
Gu Qingshan turned around and walked to the end of the bed.
With a casual touch, a bottle of low-quality wine appeared in his hand.
Sure enough, it was still in a familiar place.
This is the worst distilled spirit, only 5 credits a bottle, and is the favorite of the poor.
The glass bottle is filled with transparent wine, the wrapping paper outside the bottle has been rubbed and worn, and the words on it have become blurred.
He had hidden this bottle of wine for more than half a year and was going to open it on his birthday.
—Even such small details perfectly fit my memory, the power of the Tower Guardian Association is really like magic.
No wonder the descendant of God felt nervous because of insufficient boat money.
Gu Qingshan opened the wine without thinking.
He raised his wine bottle and poured his head up.
strong.
bitter.
A chilling feeling rises in the chest cavity and lingers.
Although it is low-quality wine, it is full of long-term memories, which brings Gu Qingshan a long-lost feeling.
Thinking of the past, Gu Qingshan couldn't help shaking his head.
He took one sip after another and drank more than half of the whole bottle.
On a whim, Gu Qingshan walked to the side of the bed and lifted another layer of cover.
Charcoal, a long grill iron box, iron wires for skewering meat, and various condiments are all neatly stacked.
This is the guy Gu Qingshan used to earn tuition fees.
He is quite talented in cooking and bartending.
In other words, he has excellent intuition in creating taste.
When he was a teenager, the food roundup of the Freedom Commonwealth included his secret recipe for grilling beef ribs.
This is the highest level of food evaluation system in the Federation.
For this reason, Goddess of Justice rewarded him with 2 merit points.
That year, Gu Qingshan was only fifteen years old.
At this age, people of the same age are still daydreaming.
However, Gu Qingshan has already been able to work in a black shop, and he is in charge of the catering field.
If he hadn't been too obsessed with mechs and dreamed of going to a university, he would have become a top chef long ago.
Gu Qingshan lit the charcoal fire and fiddled with the barbecue utensils.
He patted the storage bag again, took out some spiritual foods such as meat, vegetables and fruits, handled them carefully, and then strung them on the wire skewers.
A few minutes later, the "Gujia BBQ stall" opened again.
The usual flock of customers has disappeared.
This time, he was the only owner and guest.
wait -
A beautiful shadow swayed in the void, and quietly landed beside Gu Qingshan.
Shan Nu.
"Isn't the young master a swordsman? Can he know how to cook?"
Shannu watched Gu Qingshan's movements and asked unexpectedly.
"Swordsmanship is the way to kill the enemy, cooking is the way to make a living." Gu Qingshan said.
As before, he carefully brushed the sauce, put in seasonings, and counted the time to turn the kebabs.
These ingredients come from the resource-rich practice world, contain aura, and have been carefully processed by Qin Xiaolou. They are first-class delicacies.
After being roasted by Gu Qingshan, the first skewer of meat soon exudes a tempting aroma.
Gu Qingshan picked it up and handed it to Shannv.
"Try my craft."
"kindness."
The figure of the mountain girl has changed from unreal to real.
She changed from a sword spirit to a human woman.
After several times of beings transformed into human beings, Shannv has completely mastered the mystery of becoming a human.
She took the skewer of roast meat, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it lightly, and then began to eat it.
"It's delicious."
Shannu said with emotion.
Shan Nu ate the meat skewers and looked around the room curiously.
"My lord, is this the place you used to live?"
"Yes."
"It's very simple." Shannu commented.
"When I lived here, sometimes I couldn't even eat."
"Is there a time when you are in such a mess?" Shannu asked with a smile.
At this time, Gu Qingshan roasted another bunch of kidney flowers.
He began to try.
fragrant!
— It still smells like this.
Gu Qingshan gradually showed a smile.
He picked up the bottle of distilled spirits and took a sip.
Wine and BBQ are an eternal match.
For the next time, Gu Qingshan forgot everything, immersed in the process of cooking skewers.
Finally, he washed his hands and made a soup, which he shared with Shannv.
"The taste of the soup is also very good." Shannu looked at Gu Qingshan while drinking.
Gu Qingshan asked inexplicably: "What's wrong?"
"If one day, you don't have to fight anymore, will you open a restaurant?"
"Why don't you need to fight?" Gu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"If the doomsday catastrophe is all over, there is no need to fight."
"wrong."
"Where is wrong?"
"I am always looking for ways to become stronger, and I will never stop for anything."
"But if all the monsters disappear, there is no point in making such preparations for the battle." Shannv said puzzled.
"Shannv, think about those people in the Hanging World."
Shannu thought about it for a while, and said with lingering fear: "I was indeed wrong. It turns out that human hearts are more terrifying than demons."
Her beautiful face was covered with a layer of sadness.
Gu Qingshan glanced at her and said with a smile: "There is no need to be overly pessimistic. When people are bad, they can be bad, but when they are good, they can be good."
"for example?"
"The dead choose to spend their merits at the last moment to guard the human world."
Shannv nodded, lost in thought for a while.
After a while, her brows gradually relaxed.
Gu Qingshan held the soup bowl in his hand, and slowly finished the soup.
After enjoying such a wonderful dinner, his tense mind finally relaxed a little.
Kneading Jue drew some water, washed all the utensils, put them in the same order as before, and washed his hands, Gu Qingshan sat down on the bed.
While adjusting his breath, he thought about what happened recently.
I thought I could go back to the practice world after dealing with the hanging world.
Who knew that there would be so many surprises all of a sudden.
Ultra-dimensional world...
It seems that I need to reframe my perception of the world.
Gu Qingshan thought for a few short breaths.
—and then he fell asleep.
Shan Nu listened to his long breathing and quietly looked at his sleeping appearance.
She turned around and turned into a long sword suspended in the center of the room.
She guards Gu Qingshan.
