Not long after, the old man came out of the cabin and returned to the deck.
He was holding something sticky in his hand.
Gu Qingshan carefully identified it, and finally confirmed that it should be a slug.
"Look, this slug is for you," said the old man.
Gu Qingshan looked at the wet slug, declined: "Thank you, I probably don't need this kind of thing."
The old man shook his head and said: "This is a good thing, much better than ordinary wiretapping bugs."
He cleared his throat and explained: "General eavesdropping bugs are easy to spot, and angry eavesdroppers will often directly trample the bugs to death."
"Although this slug looks alive, it is actually just a small bionic organ."
"Its eavesdropping function will only be activated when someone steps on it to death."
Gu Qingshan understood.
That being said, this slug is indeed a good thing.
No one cares about a trampled bug.
It can be competent for intelligence investigation work in many environments.
"This is my little research," the old man said proudly, "I will give it to you now."
"Thank you."
Gu Qingshan thanked him and put the slug away.
He thought for a while, and said: "I have nothing to repay, may I buy you a drink?"
The old man smiled: "It's an honor, having some drinks or something is always a good way to pass a long journey."
He clapped his hands.
Immediately there was a dining table and two chairs on the deck.
The two sat down at the dining table.
"Do you like a stronger or lighter taste?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Too strong wine affects my thinking, so it's better to be lighter. It would be great if it can bring a little sweetness."
"You have similar tastes to a friend of mine."
Gu Qingshan took out a large ice bucket and rummaged in it for a while.
He handed over a bottle of chilled sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and took a bottle of white wine himself.
The two poured wine and toasted.
"Cheers, thank you for the wine."
"You're welcome. If you want to say thank you, I have to thank you, the slug."
The two of them drank wine facing the boundless void and mist outside the ship.
The sweet-scented osmanthus brew has a light taste, with a hint of sweetness in the fragrance of the flowers. After drinking a few cups, the old man gradually became happier.
"It's unexpected that the flowers of this evergreen tree of the Osmanthus family can make wine with such a taste." He praised it.
A bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus brewed, and soon more than half of it went down.
"If you need it, I can give you the recipe, and you can brew some yourself in the future." Gu Qingshan said.
"Of course we need it!" the old man called out.
Gu Qingshan casually took a blank jade slip, wrote the recipe for sweet-scented osmanthus brewing, and handed it to the other party.
The old man happily accepted the jade slip, and took off his hat: "You gave me a kind of knowledge, which is the most precious thing, and I am very grateful."
"No, it's just some small pleasures of life." Gu Qingshan waved his hand.
"Then, let me treat you to dinner," said the old man.
The old man snapped his fingers.
Two rows of rickety tableware flew out of the cabin and were automatically arranged on the table.
The old man put a candlestick on the dining table and lit the candles on it.
Immediately, a respectful male voice came from the flame of the candle: "Hi, this is Barkley Star Restaurant, what do you need?"
The old man coughed lightly and said, "I want a top-notch set meal for two."
"Okay! The top-level set meal for two, you are really a tasteful gourmet." The male voice showed enthusiasm.
"Of course." The old man puffed up his chest.
After waiting for a few breaths, every plate was suddenly filled with steaming food.
"I wish you a pleasant meal, and welcome to Barkley's Starry Sky Restaurant next time. Goodbye."
After the male voice finished speaking, the candle was extinguished.
Gu Qingshan stared at those exquisite silver plates and knives and forks, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.
I seem to be eating a lot recently.
"Please use it as you like," said the old man.
"Thank you, I'm sorry."
The two began to eat.
Gu Qingshan took a bite of each dish.
After he tasted all the dishes, he couldn't help but have questions in his heart.
What is this thing
Can this thing be eaten
This is also called food
Wait, that thing looks good.
... This difficult taste is actually called a top-level set meal
Gu Qingshan wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said politely: "I'm done eating, please take your time."
The old man was enjoying his meal, so he looked up at Gu Qingshan in surprise.
He suddenly showed a clear smile.
"Young people, don't be embarrassed. This kind of top-notch restaurant is not something you newcomers can eat at any time. You should eat more."
top restaurant...
Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought.
He tapped the storage bag, took out a plate and handed it over.
"What is this?" the old man asked suspiciously.
"Ah, this is a local snack in my hometown. Please try it and leave a comment."
"Well, I have tasted many restaurants in Wanjie, and I am qualified to comment on a local snack."
The old man took a sip gracefully.
He suddenly lowered his head and remained silent for a while.
After a while, he took another bite.
Take another bite.
Take another bite.
Still have a bite.
Go ahead and take a bite.
I saw the old man holding the glowing red dish, eating one after another without stopping.
Gu Qingshan originally wanted to teach him how to peel the shell, but seeing his hungry ghost-like appearance, he finally gave up.
…
After a while.
"What do you think of this dish?" Gu Qingshan asked uncertainly.
The old man didn't speak, but kept wiping his tears with his napkin.
"Are you... all right?" Gu Qingshan asked cautiously.
The old man raised his head sharply, and roared to the sky: "It's so delicious!!!!!!"
Gu Qingshan was taken aback.
With a wave of his hand, the old man threw all the dishes on the table into the turbulent void outside the ship.
— like throwing out trash.
He didn't even want a dinner plate.
"Compared to this dish, I've been eating donkey shit all these years!!!" the old man cried bitterly.
"What's the name of this dish? I must remember it." The old man asked.
"Spicy crayfish."
"The red one is the crayfish, what about the green one?"
"cucumber."
"Where are the white ones?"
"The big ones are eggs, and the small ones are quail eggs."
"These ingredients are soaked in the spicy soup, and the taste is completely integrated. It's a perfect work! Wait! I understand, these must be the special dishes of the royal family in your world, right?"
"..." Gu Qingshan.
Yes, I cooked this dish for Xiao Miao and Barry last night. I put a little too much ingredients, and the remaining half plate of spicy crayfish was not served on a plate.
Gu Qingshan originally planned to keep it for himself and eat it slowly.
Unexpectedly, it was sold out here.
At this moment, Gu Qingshan finally understood the catering standard in the 900 million world layer.
…
Drink and eat.
While picking his teeth, the old man said, "Thank you for your hospitality."
"You're welcome."
"I originally entertained you, but unexpectedly, I ate your good food and drank your good wine."
"You have given me a very good present, and this is my thanks."
The old man thought for a while, and revealed: "This time the call of the thorn bird is probably the few times with the largest number of participants in history."
Gu Qingshan showed the appearance of listening carefully.
The other party is reciprocating.
For the Tower Guardian Association, it is normal to know some secret information.
The old man continued: "The thorn bird is a magical species, and it has great strength in itself, and this time it flew into the super-dimensional area to call, it is a famous thorn bird."
"famous?"
"Yes, Trieste, the light of the morning light, the guardian of the Thornbird royal family, is synonymous with kindness and generosity, and its reputation has been heard in many worlds."
"So there are a lot of people going?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The old man shrugged and said, "As long as they are young heroes under the age of thirty, they can respond to the call of Trieste, the light of dawn, to do things for it."
"This time it announced in advance that everyone who goes to it will receive a gift from the strange area."
"Just go and get gifts?"
"correct."
"So generous." Gu Qingshan sighed.
"Yes, everyone is crazy, and some of them are over thirty, wishing to use secret methods to turn themselves back to before they were thirty—but it's very difficult, and Triste knows clearly."
"Is there no one worried that what it asks to do will be very difficult?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Oh my God! There are hundreds of millions of geniuses gathered together, and you can just push them out if you encounter any difficulties."
"In this way, you can win by lying down?"
"Yes, it is polite to meet. The Thorn Bird also provides many things that can be exchanged with people. Besides, when the task is completed, it will also generously give away the most precious treasure."
"I now understand why some people want to change back to before they were thirty years old." Gu Qingshan murmured.
If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.
Gu Qingshan relaxed.
A wonderful trip, and finally there are treasures to get.
The Thorn Bird also provided many things to exchange with people.
I can take advantage of this opportunity to exchange some more things back.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with this information? In fact, you only need to enjoy a wonderful journey and wait to get the benefits." The old man said.
"As for the most precious treasures, they naturally belong to the most beautiful guys who have completed the mission, but when they finally leave, I believe that the generous Trieste will prepare gifts for everyone."
"Thank you for the news." Gu Qing Shan thanked him.
He suddenly felt a move in his heart.
"Ah, yes, one last question."
"you say."
"I have a friend who is the chosen one. He got a fate card of prophecy, but he never knew how much it was worth?"
prophecy
Fate card
The old man showed a look of attention, and asked quickly: "The fate card of prophecy? In which world did your friend get it?"
"A sporadic world."
The old man laughed loudly: "It is impossible for him to get such a card, he must have been cheated."
"Why do you say that?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"In the sporadic world, wanting to get such a card is just a dream."
The old man further explained: "Even among all the cards, the prophecy card is extremely rare, not to mention the fate prophecy card - it is inextricably linked with the deep destiny of the world, and it is a choice for some in the hegemony area. The treasures of the royal family in the world of readers, and even the treasures of the town, will never be passed on easily."
"If there are such cards left outside, the most powerful Empire of the Chosen One will do everything possible to get them back."
"So rare?"
"Very rare! There are many Destiny decks, but among them, there are not many of them that can be used to make predictions about fate."
"In this way, my friend must have been fooled. I will make fun of him when I go back."
Gu Qingshan nodded.
