Not long after, the old man walked out of the cabin and returned to the deck.
He was holding something slimy in his hand.
Gu Qingshan carefully identified it and finally confirmed that it should be a slug.
"Look, this slug is for you." The old man said.
Gu Qingshan looked at the wet slug and declined: "Thank you for your kindness. 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 eavesdropping bugs."
He cleared his throat and explained: "General eavesdropping bugs are easy to detect. Angry eavesdroppers will often trample the bugs to death."
"Although this slug looks alive, it is actually just a small bionic mechanism."
"When someone steps on it, its eavesdropping function will be activated."
Gu Qingshan understood.
If you put it this way, this slug is indeed a good thing.
No one cares about a bug that is trampled to death.
It can be used for intelligence gathering in many environments.
"This is my little research," the old man said proudly, "I'll give it to you now."
"Thank you."
Gu Qingshan thanked him and put the slug away.
He thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything to repay. I wonder if I can buy you a drink?"
The old man smiled: "It's an honor. Some drinks or something is always a good way to spend a long journey."
He clapped his hands.
A dining table and two chairs immediately appeared on the deck.
The two of them sat down at the dining table.
"Do you prefer a stronger or lighter taste?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Too strong wine affects my thinking, so it's better to be lighter. It would be better if it can bring a little sweetness."
"You and a friend of mine have similar tastes."
Gu Qingshan took out a large ice bucket and rummaged inside for a while.
He handed over a bottle of iced sweet-scented osmanthus wine and took a bottle of white wine himself.
The two poured wine and raised their glasses.
"Cheers and thank you for the wine."
"You're welcome. If you say thank you, I have to thank you for the slug."
The two of them started drinking while facing the boundless fog of void outside the ship.
The sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed wine has a light taste, with a hint of sweetness in the floral fragrance. The old man drank a few glasses and gradually became happy.
"I never thought that the flowers of this evergreen tree of the family Asteraceae could actually produce wine with such a taste." He praised it.
A bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed wine quickly consumed more than half of it.
"If you need it, I can give you the recipe and you can brew some for yourself later." Gu Qingshan said.
"Of course!" the old man shouted.
Gu Qingshan casually took a blank jade slip, wrote the recipe for sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing, and handed it to the other party.
The old man happily took the jade slip and took off his hat as a gift: "You have given me a kind of knowledge. This is the most precious thing. I am very grateful."
"No, it's just some fun in life." Gu Qingshan waved his hand.
"Then, I'll treat you to dinner," the old man said.
The old man snapped his fingers.
Two rows of rickety tableware flew out of the cabin and were automatically placed on the table.
The old man placed a candlestick on the dining table and lit the candle on it.
Suddenly, a respectful male voice came from the flame of the candle: "Hello, this is Buckley Starry Sky Restaurant, what do you need?"
The old man coughed lightly and said, "I want the top-notch set meal for two people."
"Okay! A top-notch set meal for two people. You are really a tasteful gourmet." The male voice showed enthusiasm.
"Of course." The old man puffed out his chest and said.
After waiting for a few breaths, every plate was suddenly filled with steaming food.
"I wish you a pleasant meal and welcome to visit Buckley Starry Restaurant next time. Goodbye."
After the male voice finished speaking, the candle was extinguished.
Gu Qingshan stared at the exquisite silver plates and knives and forks, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
I seem to be eating a lot lately.
"Please use it as you like," the old man said.
"Thank you, I'm welcome."
The two began to eat.
Gu Qingshan took a bite of every dish.
After he tasted all the dishes, he couldn't help but have questions in his mind.
What is this thing?
Is this thing edible?
Is this also called food?
Wait, that thing looks good.
...This tough taste is actually called a top-notch set meal?
Gu Qingshan wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and said politely: "I've finished eating, please take your time."
The old man was enjoying his meal when he looked up at Gu Qingshan in surprise.
He suddenly smiled knowingly.
"Young man, don't be sorry. This kind of top-notch restaurant is not something you newcomers can always eat at. You'd better eat more."
Top restaurants...
Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought.
He patted the storage bag, took out a plate of things 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 review."
"Well, I have tasted many restaurants in Wanjie, so I am qualified to evaluate a local snack."
The old man took a bite 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.
And take a bite.
Go ahead and take a bite.
I saw the old man holding the plate of red dishes and eating one after another.
Gu Qingshan originally wanted to teach him how to peel shells, but looking at his hungry ghost look, he finally gave up.
…
After a while.
"What do you think of this dish?" Gu Qingshan asked uncertainly.
The old man said nothing, but kept wiping his tears with his napkin.
"Are you... okay?" Gu Qingshan asked cautiously.
The old man suddenly raised his head and roared to the sky: "It's so delicious!!!!"
Gu Qingshan was startled.
The old man waved his hand and threw all the dishes on the table into the turbulent void outside the ship.
- Just like throwing away garbage.
He didn't even want a dinner plate.
"Compared to this dish, I have 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 ones are crayfish, what about the green ones?"
"cucumber."
"Where's the white one?"
"The big ones are chicken eggs and the small ones are quail eggs."
"These ingredients are soaked in the spicy soup, and the flavors are completely integrated into it. It is a perfect work! Wait! I understand, these must be dishes reserved for the royal family in your world, right?"
"..." Gu Qingshan.
Yes, when I cooked this dish for Xiao Miao and Barry last night, I put a little too much ingredients in. The remaining half of the plate of spicy crayfish was not plated and brought out.
Gu Qingshan originally planned to keep it for himself and eat it slowly.
Unexpectedly, it was completely sold out here.
At this moment, Gu Qingshan finally understood the level of catering in the 900 million world level.
…
Full of wine and food.
The old man picked his teeth and said, "Thank you for the hospitality."
"You're welcome."
"I was the one who entertained you, but unexpectedly, I ate your delicious food and drank your fine wine."
"You have given me a great gift, consider this my thanks."
The old man thought for a while and revealed: "This call of the thorn bird probably has the largest number of participants in history."
Gu Qingshan looked like he was listening carefully.
The other party is reciprocating the favor.
As the Tower Guardian Association, it is normal to know some secret information.
Just listen to the old man continue to say: "The thorn bird is a magical species, it has great strength, and this time it is a famous thorn bird that flies into the super-dimensional zone to call."
"famous?"
"Yes, Trieste, Dawnlight, guardian of the Thorn Bird Royal Family, is synonymous with kindness and generosity, and her reputation is heard in many worlds."
"So there are a lot of people going?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The old man shrugged and said, "Any young hero under the age of thirty can respond to the call of Trieste, the light of morning, and do things for her."
"This time it announced in advance that everyone who goes to it will receive a greeting gift it brings from the Strange Zone."
"You can get a gift just by going?"
"correct."
"So generous." Gu Qingshan sighed.
"Yes, everyone is crazy. Some people over thirty want to use secret methods to change themselves back to the age before they were thirty - but that is difficult, and Trieste knows everything."
"Isn't anyone worried that what it requires will be very difficult?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Oh my God! There are hundreds of millions of talented people gathered together. If you encounter any difficulties, just push forward."
"So, you can win just by lying down?"
"Yes, you are polite when you meet. The Thorn Bird also provides many things that can be exchanged with people. In addition, when the task is completed, it will generously give away the most precious treasures."
"I now understand why some people want to go back to before they were thirty." Gu Qingshan murmured.
If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.
Gu Qingshan relaxed.
A wonderful trip, with a treasure at the end.
The thorn bird also provides many things in exchange for people.
I can take advantage of this opportunity and come back in exchange for more things.
"So, 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 ones who have completed the mission. But when I leave at the end, I believe that the generous Tristes will prepare gifts for everyone."
"Thank you for the news." Gu Qingshan thanked him.
Suddenly his heart moved.
"Ah, by the way, last question."
"you say."
"I have a friend who is the chosen one. He got a prophecy-type destiny card, but he never knows how much it is worth?"
prophecy?
Destiny cards?
The old man looked attentive and asked quickly: "Prophetic destiny cards? In which world did your friend get it?"
"A world of fragments."
The old man laughed loudly: "It's impossible for him to get such a card. He must have been deceived."
"Why do you say that?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"In the sporadic world, it is a fantasy to get such a card."
The old man further explained: "Even among all the cards, the prophecy card is extremely rare, let alone the destiny prophecy card - it is inextricably linked to the deep destiny of the world. The royal treasures of the Chosen World are even more treasures in the world and will never be spread out easily."
"If there is such a card left outside, the most powerful empire of the Chosen Ones will do everything possible to get it back."
"So rare?"
"Very rare! There are many Destiny decks, but among them, I dare say there are only a few in the entire 900 million-layer world that can be used to predict destiny."
"In this case, my friend must have been fooled. I will make fun of him when I get back."
Gu Qingshan nodded.
