When encountering difficulties, you cannot sit back and wait, let alone have your brain shut down. Think, think.
Wisdom and brains are the biggest differences between humans and wild animals. When a wild boar or wild dog encounters an unexpected situation that it cannot understand, it may yell or attack. In this case, humans will use a calm mind and strict logic to find a solution. path of.
Gongsun Ce was thinking seriously under the quilt, trying to find the truth hidden behind the confusing surface. When he woke up in his bedroom, he found his good friend and neighbor standing beside the bed with a calm face and handed him his glasses. What kind of truth was hidden behind this?
——Possibly an assassination.
In the ancient empire, there was a famous story about someone who attempted an assassination with a knife but failed to escape in the name of offering the knife. This is so similar to Qin Qianbai's behavior! The eldest lady is very skilled in martial arts. It must not be difficult for her to kill someone with a pair of spectacles. Everything is now clear: Qin Qianbai became murderous for some unknown reason. He used the spare key he had given him before to sneak into the room early in the morning, picked up his glasses and prepared to assassinate!
This is a very typical impulsive killing. If he hadn't woken up in time, he might have died by now.
Gongsun Ce broke out in a cold sweat. He broke out from the quilt, hugged the pillow and shouted: "I am not guilty, why did Qin Nu kill me?!"
Qin Nu looked at him with her hands on her hips and said, "You are a barbarian."
You, a guy who attempted home invasion and attempted murder, are still blaming me.
Gongsun Ce clutched his chest and felt heartbroken: "Ce was born in the Central Plains. He is well-educated, upholds integrity, and behaves with loyalty. How can he be called a barbarian?"
"They betray their neighbors and become angry with their neighbors, and they abandon their trust and righteousness, so they become barbarians."
"I, I, I..."
Gongsun Ce couldn't hold it in anymore: "I'll think about the words later -"
"10."
Has the countdown begun? !
Gongsun Ce tried his best to search through his few ancient prose memories, and he finally came up with a suitable sentence: "The reason why he said it..."
"01."
"What the hell, binary countdown?!"
"00. You lost, Ace."
The consequence of using precious thinking time to complain is to lose the inexplicable game.
When did the competition of dialogue in classical Chinese begin? Besides, why would an idiot compete with a young lady from an imperial noble family?
Gongsun Ce covered his forehead and said angrily: "Why did I break my promise..."
"As agreed, we will obtain the ownership of Ace within 24 hours."
"There's something slightly wrong with the wording. Mr. Gongsun, what I promised was a punishment game, not a contract of betrayal."
The eldest lady raised her cell phone expressionlessly.
"I sent a text message to notify him in advance, but after the agreed time, Ace did nothing. So I came to confirm the living conditions."
Don't make it sound like I had an accident.
Mobile phone... Gongsun Ce, who had just gotten up, couldn't help but yawned and touched his mobile phone to take a look.
The latest unread text message was received at 7:59.
He confirmed that his alarm clock was set for eight o'clock sharp, which meant...
"——You waited for less than a minute after all your calculations! It's no longer fishing law enforcement, it's fish frying law enforcement!
"
Qin Qianbai lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Is this a hint that you want me to pour hot oil on you?"
"Can you please stop treating me like a fish so naturally?"
And don’t burn oil so quickly.
Not to mention eggs and bread crumbs, at least wrap it in a layer of coating before putting it in the pan.
"Fresh fried salted fish."
"I've been downgraded from raw fish to salted fish!?"
No way, what a supernatural situation. Talking about these things with his good neighbor as soon as he got up made him almost think he was still dreaming.
Gongsun Ce leaned on the bed and said weakly: "I'll get up right now. I promise to keep my promise and I will be at your disposal all day long... But could you please go out first and let Mr. Gongsun while I wash up and change into some home clothes?" "
"..."
Qin Qianbai sat on the chair and looked at the closet, seeming hesitant.
"I don't know what you're thinking but I hope you don't speak your thoughts as orders."
"Are there any strange books in the closet?"
“No one knows how to hide physical comics these days!”
As a result, even now, this guy still lacks common sense in subtle areas.
·
Twenty minutes later.
"Now let's issue the first order." The eldest lady sat down at the dining table, "Ace, let's make breakfast."
"I can hear you're hungry."
"We must strive to be as good as a chef in the imperial capital."
"Mr. Gongsun, I am not a genius culinary school graduate, nor am I a weird chef. No matter how hard I try, I can just fry an egg and bake some bread for you."
Eggs, bread, bacon, and a bowl of milk are the breakfast Gongsun Ce often makes for himself. Fortunately, there were enough ingredients in the refrigerator. After confirming the portion, he cooked a portion for the girl.
Use your super power to crack eggs, use your super power to control a spatula, use your super power to turn on the toaster...
The gray-haired young man sat comfortably at the table, controlling the fried bacon and eggs to fly into the plate.
Qin Qianbai commented: "People who don't know why look at the kitchen will think that the kitchen utensils are perfect."
"What can you do with telekinesis?"
Gongsun Ce chewed the bread dryly, intending to find something to talk about - to divert the girl's attention to prevent her from thinking of such a terrible command as "eat eggs with your nose".
"How are your recent martial arts training, Miss?"
"There has been no real progress."
The girl is cutting eggs with a knife and fork, judging her efforts from an objective perspective like a third party.
"For me now, it is very difficult to reach a higher realm. My daily practice mainly focuses on the application of martial arts, that is, moves. During this time, I also tried to create new moves, but..."
Gongsun Ce recalled the battle some time ago and guessed, "Have you seen them all in the Feitian Pure Land?"
The eldest lady nodded like a bystander.
"It's all one of the possibilities simulated by Qin Ming. After getting the inspiration, he studied step by step, worked hard, and worked hard to realize it, but he found that it had been simulated by that man a long time ago, and it lacked practical significance. Compared with the frustration , the unpleasant feeling is even stronger.”
The harder you work, the more you find that you are still on the path planned by the enemy. Every step forward you will experience your own limits, and at the same time, you will feel the enemy's unfathomable strength more deeply. Gongsun Ce tried to imagine how his friend would feel, thinking that for a strong and competitive person, this might be an even more embarrassing experience than defeat.
"So you're quite unhappy."
"Well, my pride as a warrior is hurt."
No wonder you came to trouble me so early in the morning. In terms of involving innocent people, he is really similar to your uncle. Is this the style of your old Qin family?
Qin Qianbai finished the second omelette and asked, "Where's A Ce?"
Gongsun Ce collapsed on the chair and replied lazily: "I didn't even touch the edge of Lingzhao! Yan Qi was as cautious as if he had a neurasthenia. I went there every night to memorize ancient texts, learn basic knowledge, practice meditation rituals, and then I always get slapped awake by him before I can fall asleep successfully."
"Dream?"
"It is said to be a step that every impermanent magician must go through when starting out." Gongsun Ce said with a bitter face, "But my situation is quite special, and I can easily go berserk if I am not careful... So I have been doing it for almost a month. Situation simulation and basic ritual exercises, but they refused to allow me to actually start practicing.”
Qin Qianbai's family also has official impermanent magicians. She vaguely remembers hearing from her uncles before that the introduction to the impermanent magic often takes years.
Ace's words sounded like "I could start at any time but was stopped from doing it." She thought about the appearance of the vicious magicians and understood where Yan Qi's caution came from.
Being too talented is not necessarily a good thing.
"Ace has also fallen into a stagnant situation."
"I haven't started yet. It doesn't count as a dilemma. It should be more serious on your side." Gongsun Ce shrugged, "So! Since our progress has not been going well recently, why not put aside the practice today and do something pleasant? Come on!"
The eldest lady finished the last bite of breakfast and pushed the plate aside.
"Ace, how dare you make sexually harassing remarks to the master."
"I'm gradually starting to feel too lazy to complain about your standards, so I've already started calling myself the master?! When will this joke go away!?"
Qin Qianbai picked up the milk and took a sip. The girl's lips opened and closed lightly, covered with a layer of milky white. She then stuck out her tongue from between her teeth, licked her lips, and deftly wiped away the milk stains.
The superpower held his face with one hand, paying attention to the little movements of the girl across the table, and felt that cooking this meal was not a big thank you.
"I sensed the disrespectful look."
He pursed his lips immediately. How keen are your intuitions?
"If you can't even look at your face, I can only talk to you with my eyes closed from now on. Speaking of being rude... Will the people from the Mutual Aid Association and the Light Core come back during this time?"
Gongsun Ce pretended to be concerned, but actually changed the subject.
The girl recalled for a few seconds: "The members of the mutual aid association have not been seen since the initial invitation was rejected. The members of the Light Core stopped disturbing us after coming four times."
Gongsun Ce was surprised.
"Four times? Those chuunibyou guys are really free."
He was about to say why he didn't know, but then he thought about it and realized that this idea was wrong. The eldest lady has passed the time of needing care long ago. She has the ability to handle these chores. Now it is he who is being helped more.
"I am a top talent and should move to a higher stage. This is what the person who came to persuade me said."
I really don’t know what the so-called words are. They are indeed words spoken by the chuunibyou group.
The so-called "Light Core" and "Mutual Aid Association" are both names of superpower organizations. The former is a small elite group established with a certain superpower as its core. It believes in elitism and regards the intensity of superpowers as the standard for classifying talents. The full name of the latter is "Sky City Superpower Mutual Aid Association". The organization's mission is to help people with abilities to overcome difficulties together. There are no strict standards for recruiting members. As long as there are no major problems, you can join after submitting an application.
The description sounds like a common club in universities, but Gongsun Ce, who has dealt with both organizations, has a different view.
"Don't believe what they say, it's just Wings of Death with a new layer of skin." He picked up a piece of bacon with his tachyon and said with a frown, "You have also seen the leader of the light core, a self-righteous retarded person. As for the mutual aid association... Their president is a serious person, but he is not a leader of the right path. It is not uncommon for them to help each other and help themselves."
"The last time they came was more than a year ago. Why did Ace suddenly talk about this?"
Gongsun Ce controlled the dishes to fly back into the sink, turned on the faucet with telekinesis, and washed the dishes.
"After the last incident, the skull collapsed, and Deathwing existed in name only. The two organizations are probably busy grabbing Deathwing's territory recently, and are recruiting new members to expand their power. Maybe they will try to overthrow those who are not affiliated with the organization. On the capable person.”
This is a superficial reason. The real reason is to use serious topics to distract the eldest lady so that she no longer pays attention to the order.
Qin Qianbai stared into his eyes: "Maybe she's trying to get rid of the order."
"I sometimes really doubt that you have awakened the ability to read minds. Are my lies so easy to see through?"
The eldest lady stretched out her hand and gestured.
"About a little harder than eating a stick of French fries."
"How good am I in your opinion?"
·
After breakfast, Gongsun Ce waited uneasily for about five minutes before receiving the new order.
"Look, look, this is an expression of great mercy. Play truth or truth or watch animation together, which command do you want?"
"Anyway, let's eliminate the previous game that has no choice."
Qin Qianbai sat on the sofa and gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.
So far, the plan is going very well.
According to Caldesia's suggestion, first break into the bedroom as an impactful start, then use breakfast together and daily topics to ease the atmosphere, and then use animation as an opportunity to close the distance based on Ace's characteristics.
When they realized it, they were already leaning against each other on the sofa... and then based on Ace's reaction, they would choose the next step of the battle.
It's perfect. If you follow this plan, you will definitely succeed.
"Miss, what do you want to see today?"
"Just leave it to Ace to decide."
Qin Qianbai occupied a favorable position on the sofa and was full of confidence.
The audience battle starts now!
·
So, more than 3 hours later.
Gongsun Ce stood in the middle of the living room and said in shock: "What's going on? Is there a new weapon hidden inside that I don't know about?"
"You will not understand if you regard war as a means..."
Zheng! Zheng! The two men holding lightsaber toys fought for two rounds, with no winner or loser. Qin Qianbai stepped back slightly to distance himself. Gongsun Ce was about to pursue him, but his movements suddenly stopped.
"Move! the-o!" He said in a cold sweat, "Why don't you move!"
Qin Qianbai put his hands together and stabbed the young man in the abdomen.
“Ahhhhh——!”
The animation played on TV happened to play out the same famous scene, and the exaggerated screams of the gray-haired young man were synchronized with the punished evil villain in the animation.
The eldest lady withdrew her hand and turned around: "Go back to the woman."
"woman……?"
What is currently going on is an activity called "famous scene restoration." In layman's terms, animation fans imitate the characters' lines to recreate the plot of the show.
The gray-haired young man (playing the role of the villain) fell down with a thump, and the eldest lady (playing the role of the protagonist) made a concluding speech.
"Ah, the big stars are twinkling..."
"That's wrong, that's the line from the TV version!
"Gongsun Cecao on the ground said, "The theater version has a happy ending! "
Qin Qianbai pulled his neighbor up and said expressionlessly: "I prefer the original TV version. The theater version with a happy ending feels a bit unreal after watching it."
Beautiful personal stories against a heavy background always seem a bit inconsistent.
Some people will feel that "the development of sadness can better reflect the depth of the work", while others will feel that "even if it is unreasonable, they still want to see a better direction." The discussion caused by the conflict of concepts between the two parties is also one of the joys of appreciating the work. .
Gongsun Ce secretly laughed twice in his heart, and followed the momentum and said: "ZZ is too long, let's order takeout and watch CCA next?"
"sure."
The eldest lady, who was immersed in the animation, only then remembered to look at the time.
It's almost twelve o'clock now.
In an instant, Miss Qin's aura became like a villain in a black and white stick figure. She couldn't help but push the gray-haired young man down on the sofa: "I'm going out to make a call, A Ce is not allowed to move."
"As you're told~"
Gongsun Ce watched the girl walk out of the room and snickered in his heart.
I didn’t expect that the effect could be achieved so easily! While watching animation, I unknowingly forgot about the real thing. Many people will have similar experiences. This is also the core of this counter-command operation...
You must have some plan, Miss, but Mr. Gongsun and I are better!
This is exactly the trap I prepared just for you!
·
"Xiaoqian, you mean that you were so absorbed in watching the animation that you completely forgot about the close combat?"
"……Um"
The lady in top hat on the other side of the phone raised her voice and said: "——Are you a primary school student?! Gongsun Ce who would make such a trap is a weirdo, and you who can step into it must have something wrong with you too!
! "
"What, what should we do, Caldesia?"
"Immediately, now, give up the fight at Gongsun Ce's house immediately. Move the venue and drag that dead man out!"
·
The eldest lady who arrived again carried the small bag she had brought when going out and put a sun hat on her head. She said seriously: "Ace, you are not allowed to watch animations. Come with me and go out to buy clothes."
The opening credits of an old animated movie were playing on the TV, and a white robot had just revealed a monitor from under the cloth. Gongsun Ce asked as the main theme of the movie gradually sounded: "Really? I've already started. For such a classic movie, are you really sure you don't want to watch it before leaving?"
Miss Qin struggled with the desire in her heart for half a second and said decisively: "I'll see you next time."
The gray-haired young man sighed exaggeratedly and stood up slowly: "Okay, okay... where are we going?"
·
Ten minutes later, the two stood at the door of a family restaurant.
The restaurant, located near the apartment building where they live, has received rave reviews for its large portions and affordable prices. Most of the food here tastes good, but there are also quirky new items introduced every quarter to attract guests' attention.
This quarter’s “seasonal specials” are asparagus and durian pie, biochemical kangaroo soup, cherry blossom-flavored squid cakes and 100% pure earth cake.
Gongsun Ce glanced at these new dishes that looked extremely lethal and shuddered slightly.
"Miss, at least don't let me eat these, okay?" He said pitifully, "You can't bear to see me holding the toilet and vomiting."
Qin Qianbai made a fist with one hand and tapped it.
"Awesome, A Ce took the initiative to provide ideas for torturing himself."
"You didn't think of that?! Then why did you choose this place?"
"I want to eat something I didn't eat yesterday." Her eyes were a little gloomy. "Yesterday, in order to show sincerity, I treated Caldesia to a lot of desserts, but I forgot to order them for myself..."
How interested are you in torturing me that you would ask that torture madman to make suggestions? !
The word "making suggestions" sounded like two evil women trying to divide his body, Gongsun Ce, and he felt bad after having this association.
Could it be said that what we are facing this afternoon is a plan specially planned by Caldesia? !
"Miss, don't be like this, miss." Gongsun Ce said sadly, "I will have nightmares if you look like Caldesia."
He walked into the restaurant sadly, and the waiter at the door said in a cold tone that could not detect any enthusiasm: "Welcome to the light... Ga!"
Either he heard it wrong, or this place has used biochemical ducks as waiters.
"Is this some new oral fetish that's been popular recently?"
His eyes glanced at the waiter who was making strange noises.
The first thing that catches the eye is the large sunglasses and mask that cover the entire face, followed by the familiar-looking purple hair, and finally the warm and family-like orange top, plaid skirt and matching white apron.
He took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them on again. This time he confirmed more details: the white stockings on his calves and the big bow on his head.
Gongsun Ce rubbed his eyes vigorously: "I..."
The purple-haired waiter spoke very quickly: "You have recognized the wrong person. My name is Besma Abdullah Hasassendin."
Gongsun Ce nodded repeatedly: "Oh, oh."
The eldest lady who came in later looked curiously at the two people who looked at each other speechlessly. Gongsun Ce was silent for about a second and said, "So..."
The purple-haired waiter repeated loudly.
"My name is Besma Abdullah Hasassendin!"
"Oh, um." Gongsun Ce nodded expressionlessly, "Oh."
