Black Rock City, suburbs.
In an abandoned old house, Deacon Diao of the dirty soil organization held his mobile phone and dialed the same number repeatedly, his face full of anxiety and irritability.
It can be seen from his call records that he has dialed this number dozens of times, but every time it rang for a long time and no one answered.
"Hello, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please wait..." As a familiar female voice came from the phone again, Deacon Diao immediately pressed hang up. Due to excessive force, a line was squeezed out of the screen of the phone. cracks.
Deacon Diao looked at the shattered screen of his phone and originally wanted to throw it away, but he dialed the number again in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, this time the call was answered without even two rings.
"Elder Feng!" Deacon Diao said excitedly, "I have contacted you. Did your mission go well?"
"Mission accomplished, target has been killed!" the voice on the other end of the phone said in a sonorous tone.
"Ah, that's good, you can take action..." Deacon Diao suddenly paused, "Wait a minute, you killed that woman? Didn't the higher ups say that she would be left alive?"
"Why do I need to explain to others what I have done all my life?"
"That's...yes, yes, everything you said is correct. Have you got the formula?"
"Half a catty of polygonatum, half a catty of astragalus, half a catty of apples, half a catty of oranges, boil two bowls of water and there will be half a bucket of water left. You don't need to drink it, just throw it away."
"Is this a recipe?" Deacon Diao scratched his head, "Don't be joking."
Hearing this, Deacon Diao also felt something was wrong. He lowered his voice and asked, "Elder Feng, what happened? You are not like this usually."
Elder Feng sang a rap on the other end of the phone: "I was not this kind of person originally, but you turned me into a strange person. This is the first time I have become like this..."
Deacon Diao's expression changed and he shouted: "You are not Elder Feng, who are you!"
"I am a female concubine, not a tomboy."
Deacon Diao wanted to ask again, but he heard a heartbreaking cry from the other end of the phone: "Qiangzi, don't go to Qiangzi..."
The call was not hung up, but no matter what Deacon Diao said, there was no response. All he heard on the other end of the phone was "Hadron".
Deacon Diao was so angry that he clenched his fist and crushed the phone into a ball of scrap metal.
"This matter is of great importance and I must report it to the superiors."
Then he took his cell phone, dialed a number, and reported the cause and effect of the incident.
"On the phone just now, a person named 'Qiangzi' was repeatedly mentioned, which may be related to this matter. We can start investigating from this aspect."
"In addition, the hunters who escorted Liu Wenyin should have returned to Black Rock City one after another. I will ask them one by one."
…
"That's it, what do you think?" Liu Wenyin looked at Su Ze beside her and asked.
"It's pretty good. It's quiet around here. It's big enough and has a yard. The most important thing is it's clean."
"Then it's settled!"
Su Ze accompanied Liu Wenyin out to look at the house. After looking at it all morning, he finally picked a pretty good one.
They immediately signed a rental contract through an agency and paid half a year's rent.
Although they may not be able to live there even for a month, they have no choice but to pay half a yearly payment.
It's just a waste of money, a small thing.
Later, they took Aunt Yun from the hotel to the house.
There were still many things to buy for the newly rented house, such as bedding, toiletries, etc. Liu Wenyin took Su Ze to the street to buy them together.
When passing by the vegetable market, Liu Wenyin said: "Let's go buy some food."
"Sister, can you cook?"
"Learned."
"That would be great."
Su Ze was a little excited. Living in Luo Fan Country, eating was a big problem. He was really not lucky enough to enjoy Luo Fan Country's delicacies.
It is said that there were strong men from other countries who came from the cocoon stage and collapsed from exhaustion after eating the street food of Luo Fanguo.
The delicacies of the Luo Fan Country that even the evolvers cannot bear, but the ordinary people of the Luo Fan Country are fine with eating them. It can only be said that the level of evolution of the digestive system of the Luo Fan people is the best in the world.
They bought some vegetables and condiments, and then went to the busiest street nearby to buy daily necessities.
This street has a lot of traffic. There are even several shops specializing in evolutionary items opened here, and many hunters come here to buy and sell evolutionary items.
When Su Ze and Liu Wenyin passed by, they heard several hunters chatting loudly.
"Jabani and the others are really unlucky! This time they went into the mountains and found the corpses of two second-level alien beasts!"
"It's not just him. The bad gambler next door to me went into the mountains with the team yesterday and came back today. He took a circle halfway up the mountain and filled the entire team's bags with the trophies he picked up!"
"What's going on in the past two days? You can always pick up the corpses of strange beasts in the Black Rock Mountains, or the kind where the evolutionary materials are well preserved and can be used to make extracts."
"I'm so envious, I want to go into the mountains tomorrow too!"
Su Ze and Liu Wenyin looked at each other. They also felt something strange, but it had nothing to do with them. They left without thinking much.
After buying everything, the two returned to the rental house carrying large and small bags.
Liu Wenyin was responsible for cooking, and Su Ze was responsible for packing things and making the bed.
After Su Ze finished cleaning up, Liu Wenyin's rice was also ready.
Looking at the four delicious dishes and one soup on the table, Su Ze moved his index fingers and picked up a chopstick of braised fish and tasted it: "Yeah! It's delicious!"
Su Ze gave a thumbs up and offered a rainbow fart: "Sister, how did you manage to be on the podium and in the kitchen?"
"Actually, cooking is similar to doing experiments. What should be put in first and then what should be put in, how much oil and how much water to add, there are fixed dosages, how to cook, how high the fire, how long to cook, there are also standards, each dish is like a dish It’s a formula, just put it in, it’s very simple.”
Su Ze was stunned. Is this really the case?
However, when Liu Wenyin said this, Su Ze also discovered that every dish Liu Wenyin made was exactly how it should be, with the right amount of salty and mild, and the right amount of sweet and spicy.
Although it is delicious, it lacks a bit of fireworks.
Sometimes people's taste buds just need the stimulation of sweet, bitter and spicy in order to get extra satisfaction, just like life.
But Su Ze is not a picky child. As long as the food is delicious, what else does he need a bicycle?
"After dinner, you can send me a copy of your basic information, and I'll ask the Dongli Household Registration Department to create a file for you first." Liu Wenyin suddenly said.
Su Ze was startled and understood that Liu Wenyin and the Dongli Kingdom behind her chose to accept him after investigating him.
He nodded and said: "Okay, I don't have any other information. My name is Su Ze. I will send you a date of birth later."
Liu Wenyin put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Well, where is the household registration? Or just hang it at my house."
"Sure, we are originally a family, but... we don't have the same surname. How do we describe our relationship?"
Liu Wenyin thought for a while and said, "Just write brother and sister, and say you are my father's adopted son."
Su Ze: "Actually, it makes more sense to write about a couple."
