December 24, 2024.
Christmas Eve.
A Christmas-themed Volga parked outside the Bu family's mansion, and a funny trombone horn sounded.
After a while, he saw Ah Xing carrying a backpack and rushing out with Jiang Xueming and two brocade boxes in his hands. The tall boy, who was 9.9 meters tall, had a huge stride and an amazing momentum. Smoke billowed out when he ran with all his strength.
Ah Xing saw the Volga car coming, and saw the circus of traveling performers at the Flower Street Market, his eyes full of anticipation and curiosity. I conveniently took Brother Ming as my luggage.
"Come on, come on!" Ah Xing knocked on the car window, lifted Jiang Xueming from his armpits with his thighs, lifted him to the window, and asked the driver to open the door.
Volga changed to a set of bright red paint, added sparkling pink eyelashes to the halogen headlights, and had all the red and white accessories.
Window down——
——With the helpless expression of 9527, "Have you always used your brother as a fitness equipment?"
Ah Xing grabbed the handle of Xueming's cotton-padded jacket behind his back, as if he was carrying a large handbag. He explained with a smile: "Hey... the special-shaped dumbbells I usually use are only seventy-five kilograms at most. Brother Ming I have put on a lot of weight in the past few months, which is just perfect for maintaining my training condition!”
Jiang Xueming's head happened to be close to the car window. Seeing Brother Qi's listless look, he put the Heart of Steel back on his ring finger and took out a box of cookies from his cotton-padded jacket.
"The snacks I brought you were made by Bai Lu and me."
"Oh!~" Xiao Qi suddenly became energetic, grabbed the gift box with his hands, and unpacked it smoothly and quickly, unwrapping the colored paper and ribbon in less than two seconds.
That set of actions made Xueming envious - Xiao Qi seemed to have become more powerful. Four months ago, when she was bartending, her hands were not as dexterous.
"It smells so good!" Xiao Qi sniffed the sweet and milky aroma of the cookie and threw it into his mouth. The more he chewed, the brighter his eyes became.
Jiang Xueming still remained hanging in the air. After delivering the gift, his arms naturally drooped without any unnecessary movements.
When Xiao Qi saw this scene, he was filled with curiosity. While putting snacks into his mouth, he asked: "Employer, what's going on? Why have you become a cripple?"
"When winter comes, I can't muster any energy..." Jiang Xueming said frankly, "In the past four months, my body has gained eight kilograms, and my metabolism and hormone levels have changed drastically. It’s getting longer.”
"Oh! You are about to complete your second [transformation]!" Xiaoqi said excitedly: "Your corundum pyroxene has responded to you. It wants you to stay calm. It takes a lot to change from the state of an insect egg to a nymph. Lots of mental energy!”
"I can vaguely feel that my body is gradually keeping up with my spirit. Ah Xing also said that he can't feel any inspiration and pressure from me anymore, as if all the spiritual essence has returned to the physical body. ——If it is not necessary, I will try to reduce the activity time and keep quiet." Xueming drooped his eyelids, looking like he was half awake.
"Hey hey hey... You look quite cute with your stupid look!" Xiao Qi grinned, with a lot of biscuit crumbs popping out from between his teeth.
Jiang Xueming pursed her lips, like a doll that was not fully charged: "As long as you like it."
"Brother Qi! Let's walk?!" Ah Xing was about to get into the car and stuff Brother Ming into the back seat.
"Wait a minute! I dressed up specially today! Let your brother Ming take a good look at me!" Xiao Qi immediately opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
She had only worn high heels a few times, and was almost stumped by the twelve-centimeter height. She stepped on the asphalt in front of the Bu family compound, revealing her beautiful and toned figure under the street lamp.
She was wearing a small brown and black elk-themed skirt, and the fluffy hem was a warm bare leg artifact. Her hair was braided into twin ponytails on both sides of her collarbone. The heart of steel was tied into a neck ring with a black ribbon and hung around her neck.
With a bit of peach blush on her face, she looked very energetic, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
She circled in a circle, lifting the hem of her skirt.
"How's it going! How's it going? Your little reindeer is here to pick you up!"
Bu Liuxing mentioned Brother Ming at that time, just like playing with security equipment, he used Brother Ming's head as a camera, and scanned Brother Qi's beautiful legs, waist and hips from a low position to the Tianling Cap.
"Very good." Jiang Xueming's face was expressionless, without any change.
Xiao Qi curled her lips, feeling very unhappy: "Hey! I thought you would say something else..."
"I don't know how to praise people. I haven't read many books." Xueming, a straight man, said bluntly: "But I think it is rude to judge a girl - if you ask me how she is, I can only say that she is pretty good."
Xiao Qi changed the question: "Do you like it?"
Xueming asked, "Do you like it?"
Xiao Qi tilted her head and squatted in front of Xueming: "Sorry, these shoes are too awkward, but I see Xiaohongshu bloggers praising them every day, saying that wearing them will make you look better! I just want to try it , as a result, walking became a problem.”
"Your script is very beautiful right from the beginning." Xueming didn't say anything, but just talked about it based on his own experience: "When I was cooking with you at home, I saw you walking barefoot. , The manners are very good. There is no need to trouble yourself, just walk and dress comfortably."
"Huh?" Xiao Qi was suddenly stunned, and his face suddenly turned red.
Then Xueming pulled Ah Xing's clothes and wanted to drive Ah Xing to the front row of the Volga——
——He took out Xiaoqi's waiter's cloth shoes from the storage compartment in the front row.
Xueming asked: "Are you going to do it yourself or should I help you change it?"
"Me, me, me, me! I'll do it myself..." Just as Xiao Qi was about to bend down, a button of the slim internet celebrity chiffon skirt immediately fell apart, and the zipper began to scream.
Meteor suppressed laughter and his expression was distorted: "Pfft..."
At that moment, Xueming woke up from his slumber, and his inspiration reminded him that there was a strong murderous intention, and he didn't know where it came from.
He frowned and glared into the distance: "Are there any enemies?"
"No, no, no..." Xiao Qi managed a smile, "Not an enemy... but a bitch."
Her intestines were filled with regret——
——I bought the skirt in size M. I didn’t expect that the muscles of the shoulders, neck, waist and spine would be so different from the figure of the internet celebrity Spare Ribs, and it would be difficult to bend down.
Xueming had long seen Brother Qi's unspeakable secret.
He held Xiao Qi's ankle and helped Xiao Qi change her shoes.
Just as he finished changing one foot, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Qi's face starting to boil water.
Xueming explained: "Don't get me wrong... I just think you look better in these shoes. Twelve-centimeter high heels are too embarrassing, and driving is... unsafe. I'm still afraid of death." .”
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..." Xiao Qi just covered her face, and from her fingers she could see the shyness that was even warmer than her blush.
After changing his shoes, Xueming said again: "Take your hands away."
Xiao Qi nodded and followed suit.
Xueming took out a tissue from his cotton-padded jacket and wiped Xiao Qi's mouth clean as usual.
At this moment, the passenger window rolled down——
——3301 dressed up as Santa Claus, with a sullen expression on his face.
She pushed up her glasses, adjusted the big red hat on her head, and cursed.
"Can you two bitches be more restrained? You don't care whether others can bear it or not, do you? Ouch!——"
The last sound was like a wolf's hissing, which frightened Ah Xing into getting into the car and took Brother Ming to the back seat.
...
...
Then--
——Volga let nature take its course and obey the laws of nature, as if he had been struck by the weapon of the law of cause and effect. Stuck on the busiest and busiest Christmas Eve street in Hong Kong.
At this stall, four people were chatting without a word.
3301 gave a cold greeting to Ah Xing.
"Employer, it's a good thing that you haven't died yet. Although you are still at the age of dying young, you must have had the awareness to die under peonies. I hope you can bring me more during this journey. Shock and surprise.”
Ah Xing didn't understand, but replied cheerfully: "This sister has always been good at talking."
9527 interjected: "Mr. Bu Liuxing, are you about to complete your second transformation?"
"Oh! Maybe?!" Axing took out the passenger logbook and pointed to the newly added guide page: "My current schedule is very strange. I can sleep for twenty hours at a time, then stay awake for sixty hours, and then I can sleep for another twenty hours..."
Depending on the passenger's pyroxene color classification, the evolved nymph forms are also different.
Judging from the rhodonite of Bu Meteor, his spiritual essence is constantly undergoing exciting activities of charging and discharging. Like a larva in an egg stretching its limbs, struggling again and again, testing again and again, and finally growing limbs.
Ms. 3301 also became happy and started to yell: "Ouch! Really? Well done! Employer! If you can complete the third transformation next year, my performance has reached the standard, and I can touch big fish and make big mistakes." ! A four-month holiday!"
Meteor scratched his head, not quite understanding his waiter's thinking, so he just asked Brother Qi in a low voice.
"Was it like this before 3301? I don't have much education, and I have never seen anyone who imitates howling like a wolf every day..."
"Don't worry, I'm a lapis lazuli guard." 3301 explained: "This is an occupational disease."
——The so-called lapis lazuli guard.
He is a patrolman who travels to various stations in the underground world. are armed employees with special abilities.
If the first piece of jewelry a passenger gets has a lapis lazuli theme - this kind of [thinking], [reasoning], [planning], and [tracing] qualities can allow the passenger to get an additional Lapis Lazuli Guardian law enforcement certificate. .
The main function of the Green Gold Guards is to catch hunters and stop crimes, and exchange the hunters' bounties for money, which is considered a part-time job.
Like Teacher Victor's attendant, he is also a lapis lazuli guard.
In order to protect the police officers at these stations, and for the safety of the police officers' families - usually the Qingjins will have a special code name to hide their real names.
Teacher Victor’s attendant’s code name is [Bloodhound].
Most VIPs and their accompanying waiters will take this part-time job, so people in the station's superstructure often use pronouns instead of their real names.
Victor is an anomaly - in addition to writing books, he also has to work as a translator for BOSS. He is completely uninterested in this kind of part-time job like a bounty hunter and always uses his real name to show others.
The Green Gold Guard needs to go through an advanced ritual to strengthen her tracking senses. As mentioned by 3301, the occupational disease is that she likes to imitate wolf howling when nothing happens - it allows her to distinguish odor details that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.
As for this ritual - that's another story.
...
...
They were stuck in traffic from Christmas Eve until three o'clock in the morning on Christmas Day.
Finally, we returned to the King Hou Hall at Jiujie Station. The Five Kings Council was almost full today, and people who came to attend business and celebrate the festival lined up on the main road outside the welcome hall.
If you want to hold a festival celebration in the underground world, have a good time with your family, eat big and buy something, there is always somewhere to spend money. There are no branches in various trade transfer stations. If you want to get cash from HC, you can only go to the big stations.
Jiang Xueming was always half asleep and half awake, which made 9527 very worried.
Corundum is a very strange stone—
——It likes a quiet and peaceful owner, and will also make the owner quieter and more Buddhist. Especially at the critical moment of the second [transformation], the owner will become like a BOSS and may fall asleep anytime, anywhere. .
All the spiritual essence will return to Xueming's body, slowly accumulating strength, slowly opening the shell of the egg, and finally completing the transformation.
Xiaoqi also asked BOSS privately - is it really okay for the employer to continue traveling in this state?
BOSS only replied with four words.
"Don't worry about interrogating him!"
Since it was arranged by BOSS, Xiao Qi had nothing to say. She just hoped that her employer could still complete the action of ringing the bell while half asleep!
As for the stick of unknown origin——
——It will probably give employers a headache for some time.
...
...
9527 asked the other three people to line up, then ran to the storage room of the station and took back the unknown stick.
Regarding what this stick is, she once asked the cat climbing frame lady and BOSS.
When BOSS saw this thing, the cat's whole body was in trouble.
I learned from the cat climbing frame lady——
——This is a bone of Mingde.
At the very beginning, in the Senate of the Twelve Schools of Commerce in the underground world, there was a [Mingde's Bone] in each chamber.
The stick made from the remains of the BOSS has a very important symbolic meaning, just like the dragon-headed stick in the Chamber of Commerce organization.
Whoever gets this bone will be the leader of the Senate.
For example, the Institute of Technology, the Agricultural Institute, the Third Transportation Department and the Fourth Transportation Department are dominated by red stones.
Most of these places are engaged in food and drug-related transactions, and the inheritance of craftsmanship is mainly based on the master-disciple relationship. The ownership of the sticks is also in the hands of highly respected masters of the school. Such masters have generally undergone five or six transformations. Both his spiritual essence and physical skills are ridiculously strong.
Among other five-color stones, blue is the main color in business schools or logistics companies. Those who can get this stick are either rich in wealth or have outstanding abilities, and they are all famous people.
The problem is, this stick is not rare for the BOSS. For it, the bones are the toes and claws of its giant beast. It is more useful for dealing with spiritual disasters. It is a gift for those who are brave and good at fighting or skilled in craftsmanship.
BOSS will never get back what you give away. It's like a kitten going out to catch a mouse for you because it's afraid you'll starve to death.
As for the additional meaning of this stick and its symbolic color, it was all imposed by the passengers.
If Xueming gets this bone, it means that he is destined to a certain Senate.
In order to find out which unlucky boy lost the dragon-headed stick in the Senate, Brother Qi again used his contacts to find out.
Finally trace the source——
——I found such a school from the Black Stone Crystal Clan.
There has always been a mysterious senate in the underground world. It does not teach people how to do things, nor does it teach any crafts. It does not fight or fight. The students or craftsmen in it rarely even talk and just travel silently - most of their stones are There are two colors of black and white, and there are also very few solid color corundum and white crystal glass jewelry.
The presence of this Senate in the underground world cannot be said to be even the slightest, it is completely absent.
Because its main function is to keep people calm, not afraid, not angry, not sad, not happy, not angry, etc. It is almost an emotional trash can. People who provide psychological counseling have a very common name, just [Anonymous] .
Xiao Qi went to the big library to check the history of this Senate, and found out a lot of weird passengers.
One of the guests is named Luo Pingan.
This guy wrote an autobiography, saying that during the Zhenguan period, he was recruited into the palace as an actor because of his handsome appearance. As a result, Empress Wu liked him very much, but Mr. Ping An refused to start a business, so he was exiled to the south to work in tunnels and dig. He went to a peach blossom garden and escaped there and lived there for more than a thousand years.
Mr. Ping An was cultivating immortality and Qi in the Peach Blossom Spring. He mistakenly thought that pyroxene was a spiritual stone and used pyroxene to seek immortality. As a result, he actually practiced six transformations and became a VIP. Finally, he dug up the railway, found the station and registered.
To this day, Mr. Ping An still feels that the spiritual power embodied in his body is his external incarnation. If he practices for thousands more years, he should be able to ascend to the fairy world.
This is [Anonymous] who emerged from the underground world more than 80 years ago. He talks about the truth of heaven and earth and provides psychological counseling to passengers every day.
It is not known whether this autobiography is true or false.
In Ling Weng's view, black stones are generally volcanic rock obsidian, which is a symbol of absorbing energy and knowledge, being calm and restrained, and exuberant curiosity.
Colorless stones, mainly white crystal and corundum, are symbols that release energy and knowledge, are also calm and restrained, maintain focus and normalcy, and have very mysterious inner meanings.
Looking further, Xiaoqi, as a violent melon-eating team leader, ate melons to his own house——
——Her master possesses the remains of the Blackstone Senate. He is also a registered disciple of Taoist Master Luo Pingan.
From here, the autobiographical story of Dashuku jumps directly into the fantasy style.
However, Xiao Qi didn't see Master say anything important about this thing.
In the end, Xiao Qi thought about it - probably Master doesn't want to be an emotional trash can, so he is so low-key.
...
...
As for the remains brought by Xueming——
——Xiao Qi didn’t take it seriously at all.
It's just an urban legend that circulates in the underworld.
A long time ago, about three or four hundred years ago, there was a group of strange anonymous people who wanted people to live a peaceful life and live as long as possible - like the credit card man, like the strange gentleman who measured fortune-telling, like the Feng Shui master who found the dragon's acupoints, etc. Wait, as the times advance, there are also many private detectives, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
Later, this organization gradually disappeared in the glamorous and frivolous underground world. I am afraid it has something to do with the rapid advancement of the times.
After all, in modern society, who is not hysterical and unrestrained on the stage of life? In comparison, [Anonymous] in other spin-off industries of the Senate is like a group of monks and Taoists who eat fast, chant Buddhism, and sail across the sea of suffering.
This relic is not a symbol of power or wealth, and has no direct relationship with the Senate of any school, or even all walks of life in the underground world today. It should not be a bad thing to give it to Xueming for use. After all, it still possesses part of the power of the BOSS. , used to break superstition and deal with spiritual disasters, it is a very powerful tool.
...
...
Wait until Xiaoqi explains these things clearly.
Jiang Xueming immediately shot up from his half-awake state.
He thought about it, no game comes with full-level equipment, right? !
Want to use this stick to beat the enemy? He thought that his character level was not enough!
Listening to the description of the school of injustice [Anonymous], he felt that this thing should not be wanted. Even if it is not a hot potato, just eating potato may cause allergies.
"If you sell this thing, can you repay the money I owe you?"
"You want to find black and white stones and corundum. These three types of people are very rare in the underground world. They are really rare... Only they will be interested in this bone. Even if they are interested, they may not be able to afford it. This price is affordable..." Xiao Qi pondered: "There is no guarantee that there won't be guys like the business school who operate in secret during the auction process and make malicious bids to make profits. These little bad guys who study arithmetic and engage in finance are very clever. , they say that ordinary passengers are working cattle and horses eating grass, and those who control pyroxene coins are carnivores."
Xiao Qi shrugged helplessly and continued.
"Employer, people like you are very Buddhist, and you will never do a loss-making business without fate. How about I take this bone to the trade transfer station and try it? Anyway, I am too busy... Maybe with good luck, I can recruit a few good sisters to hype it up, and it will be sold as a new concept product, like a digital collection of the Metaverse. Now the game of beating drums and passing flowers still works. After all, this superstition may not cost more than 10,000 yuan. It can’t be eradicated even after years - people always have gambling instincts.”
Jiang Xueming returned to luggage status and hung it on Ah Xing's hand.
"Forget it, let's make the soup. Maybe with luck, after drinking this bowl of soup, I will be like the Taoist priest in your story, and I will really achieve great feats."
