The day before New Year.
Government building.
Top floor office.
When Cheng Han saw the female secretary walking in, he was stunned for a short moment.
Miss Beauty was carrying a paper bag and wearing a beautiful emerald green top hat with two circles of green branches interspersed on the brim, swaying as she walked.
"Good morning, Your Excellency!"
Xie You's sweet voice floated over.
Cheng Han replied "Good morning" and then woke up.
This is a traditional custom in this world.
This kind of hat is called "Rong Shou Hat". From the day before the New Year, which is today, to the seventh day of the New Year, everyone will wear the Rong Shou Hat.
Among them, "Rongshou" means "May the life of the sacred banyan be endless", and the "two circles of green branches" symbolize the blessing of the sacred banyan.
The female secretary put down the paper bag, took out a particularly luxurious banyan hat, and smiled charmingly: "Your Excellency, this is your hat."
Cheng Han nodded: "Put it on the table."
This top hat is simply gorgeous. It is not only embroidered with a large number of exquisite patterns with gold and silver threads, but also inlaid with more than a dozen large and small gems.
If measured in terms of money, I'm afraid it would be no less than thirty gold coins.
Cheng Han looked at it for a few times and muttered in his heart: "Fortunately, it's not a cuckold."
According to the memory of the predecessor, the background color of the banyan hat is mainly green, which means the green of vitality, such as the emerald green of female secretaries, or light green or dark green.
A small number of banyan caps that are not green are slightly related to green, such as brown-green, yellow-green, or dark green.
Anyway.
The top of the head is more or less green.
Xie You said quickly: "The daily affairs meeting will start in twelve minutes. The main agenda is to finalize the celebration process. Do you want to participate?"
Cheng Han thought for a while, nodded and said, "Go ahead."
A quarter of an hour later.
Cheng Han strode into the conference room with an imperceptible twitch at the corner of his mouth.
What you see.
The house is full of cuckolds.
Every official attending the meeting was wearing formal attire and sitting upright, with a dark green banyan hat covering his head.
Everyone stood up and said in unison: "Your Excellency, I greet you!"
Cheng Han watched this scene and felt an urge to laugh in his heart.

Qinglin City.
In a warehouse one kilometer away from Shaohua Square.
According to convention, the six days from the two days before the New Year to the four days after the New Year are public holidays and are also the longest holidays in the year.
Most chambers of commerce will be closed and all employees will be on holiday.
The Chamber of Commerce to which this warehouse belongs is naturally no exception.
In the warehouse area, which covers an area of dozens of acres, not a single person can be seen.
at this time.
The black cat walked lightly to the door and suddenly disappeared.
next moment.
It appeared out of thin air inside the warehouse.
The black cat flicked its tail and glanced at the eighteen still figures.
The faces of these people were expressionless, and their faces were unfocused. Only the slight rise and fall of their chests proved that they were alive. This scene looked indescribably weird.
The black cat walked around and looked at the abdomen one by one, with a humanized look of satisfaction in its eyes.
The master's alien plan is progressing very smoothly!
The "child body" conceived by the "mother body" can develop into its complete form at midnight, the moment the New Year arrives.
certainly.
The eighteen "experimental subjects" selected were not innocent people.
Black Cat knows the city far better than ordinary people, and easily found a group of criminals.
Honestly.
This is an extremely cruel plan.
But black cats are not humans and see things very differently.
On the contrary, it felt very interesting, and even felt that it was a super creative masterpiece.
The black cat raised a paw and looked at it, and a strange thought popped into his mind:
Can the extraordinary life transformation method created by the master turn this cat into a human?
It suddenly became exciting.
This is a very, very interesting idea!
I like it!
"Snapped!"
It stomped the ground.
In an instant.
A smooth ice mirror made of ice stood silently in front of him.
In the mirror, a cat was clearly revealed.
The black cat stared at his figure and unconsciously thought of another question.
If this cat becomes a human, what should it look like?
After a while.
The black cat activated the soul link of Yulingxuanyin and asked its owner a question.
One second later.
The reply came: "This involves a complete change in the nature of life. I need to study it more deeply."
Black Cat was a little frustrated.
The second reply followed: "When my strength reaches the level of Xuandu, maybe a little stronger, it should be about the same."
The black cat became happy.
Is it just Xuandu?
With the master’s level of genius, that day shouldn’t be too far away!
*
Two hours later.
Anwar City.
Cheng Han once again witnessed the scene of "a house full of cuckolds".
The participants this time were not officials, but civilians, that is, ten lucky people selected from the wishing monument in Dongshan Park.
Ten people wore identical green top hats.
This is obviously the standard banyan hat specially gifted to them by the Council of Ministers.
Cheng Han had previously promised to help these lucky people realize their New Year's wishes.
As a grand consul, Cheng Han must of course keep his word.
"Your Majesty the Grand Consul, I greet you...!"
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency is well!"
There was a look of nervousness on every face, and they even stuttered when they spoke.
obviously.
Meeting such a big shot for the first time in their lives gave them huge psychological pressure.
Cheng Han did not want to embarrass ordinary people, let alone seek a sense of superiority in front of them. He just said seriously: "Everyone, I am very happy to see you."
A group of people looked frightened again.
Cheng Han waved his right hand lightly: "Everyone, please accept my New Year's gift."
Xie You immediately came over and handed a stack of red envelopes to her boss.
Cheng Han handed out the envelopes one by one, holding the other person's hand firmly and saying sincerely: "Happy New Year to you."
After everything was finished, Xie You added helpfully: "Please open it after you go home."
A group of civilians didn't dare to disobey, so naturally they all obeyed.
An official said loudly: "Everyone, the crystal energy vehicle is ready. Please come with me."
This brief meeting ended here.
Half an hour later.
A middle-aged man named "Guo Yi" met his wife and two children.
The family gathered around and watched excitedly as he opened the envelope.
This moment.
Just a "bang" sound was heard, and a large area of colorful light spots burst out from the envelope.
They fly in the sky and form a line of colorful words - Happy New Year.
The whole family had never seen such a trick before, so naturally they were all dumbfounded.
A moment.
The four words disappeared.
The wife came to her senses and asked hurriedly: "Look what's in the envelope?"
Guo Yi took out a resin card from the envelope. After just one glance, he fell into ecstasy: "We have a new house!"
This is clearly a residence permit.
A few minutes later.
The whole neighborhood knew about it, and the family became the envy of everyone.
After all, although the house received as a gift is not big, its market price is not less than twenty gold coins. Who wouldn't envy it?
There was another comment, which spread throughout a large neighborhood nearby:
"His Excellency the Grand Consul is a very kind man. He said 'please' to me and personally wished me a happy New Year."
It didn't take long.
This sentence reached the ears of a mid-level official from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
This gentleman couldn’t help complaining to his colleagues: “One-third of the officials in the Civil Affairs Bureau have been imprisoned, and one-third have been fined and demoted.
"Everyone is busier than a dog every day. In the past ten days, I have not slept more than five hours a day."
The mid-level official couldn't help but let out a "poof", and his tone became more and more excited: "This riding horse is also called 'harmony'?"
Although this remark full of complaints did not explicitly mention who it was, any fool could tell who it was directed at.
Colleagues hurriedly stopped him: "Lao Wan, are you desperate for your life? Keep your voice down."
The official known as Lao Wang laughed dryly, and his voice immediately dropped to a lower level: "I was just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."
The guy immediately changed the subject: "There is a New Year's celebration tomorrow, and we have to arrive at the Council Hall at three in the morning. I don't think I can sleep tonight."
The colleague comforted him: "It will be fine once we get through this period."
There's nothing we can do about it.
Facing the harsh Grand Consul, since he has no ability to resist, he can only endure it silently.
The two looked at each other and lamented together.

7 p.m.
Night completely enveloped Qinglin City.
The city is significantly brighter than before.
Because the Council issued an order, all the lighting lamps within the city area were filled with brown oil and continued to burn until dawn.
Under normal circumstances.
According to regulations, the oil lamp is only about half lit, and the lighting time is between five and six hours. Considering the problem of oil consumption, it is actually shorter.
at this time.
In base three.
The so-called "base" is actually a hidden underground cave.
Black Cat has been working hard for so long and has established a total of six bases in the city, which are distributed in every corner of the city and serve as gathering places for the Meow Legion.
A group of cats were lining up neatly, with a total number of more than two hundred, and each cat had a gray-toed mouse in its mouth.
The black cat looked at his subordinates majestically and shouted:
"Meow!"
The cats all put down the mice in their mouths and bowed their heads respectfully.
From this small movement, it can be seen that this is definitely a group of well-trained cats.
The black cat immediately waved his right paw.
at the same time.
It activates the Sigil within the Sea of Spirits.
After a moment.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
A group of gray-toed rats screamed in pain.
Their bodies immediately twisted into a ball, and two balls of flesh quickly bulged out from their backs, quickly growing into a pair of bat-like membrane wings.
All the cats were stunned.
Master Hei is on top!
Did the mouse grow wings? !
The black cat barked again: "Meow!"
These gray-toed mice, or flying squirrels, that had grown wings, tried to flap their wings, and then took off one after another.
There was a hint of curiosity in Black Cat's eyes.
The master’s method of transforming his life is really interesting!
It also knows that Momonga is actually a product of overdrafted vitality, with a maximum lifespan of only sixteen hours, so now is the best time to transform Momonga.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
The cave was filled with the sound of fluttering wings.
A group of cats raised their necks and watched the mouse practice flying.
This scene looks quite joyful.
At the beginning.
The large group of flying squirrels flew crookedly, as if they might fall down at any time.
soon.
They have mastered the art of flying and are hovering in groups above the cave.
The black cat turned to look at the four cats next to it and ordered: "Meow!"
The four cats worked together and opened a black wooden box. Inside, they saw a pile of wooden beads, about the size of the tip of a little finger.
The black cat issued the command again: "Meow!"
The flying squirrels landed collectively and swarmed to the wooden box. Each flying squirrel opened its mouth and bit a wooden bead, its cheeks bulging high.
】
The black cat's eyes showed satisfaction.
The preparation work assigned by the master is finally completed.
When the New Year celebrations begin, it’s time for war!
