Shangluo was drinking vermicelli stewed with goose soup from a bowl, and Zhu Xianfen was sitting opposite him. Lunch seems to be much simpler than breakfast. In addition to goose soup, there are also crystal mutton dumplings, light snails, boiled pork, and a vegetarian dish called grilled mushrooms. After Shangluo and Zhu Xianfen had eaten so many meals, it was the first time that a vegetarian dish like roasted mushrooms without meat was served in front of them, and the whole meal was actually very "light".
"You don't seem to have eaten enough this morning, but your appetite for lunch is still so good."
"I woke up in the morning and ate some jelly and spring rolls, and then we were almost there. Then I took a ride, and there were two cars driving ahead."
"Originally, we should have sent more cars, but too many cars would block the road and be unsafe, so we only sent two cars. You can't run for tens of thousands of miles safely, so I might bump into you in the capital. Well, what's the matter? So, as the last meal for a mortal, how do you feel about it? I specially chose a light dish."
"Well it's really light."
By previous standards, this couldn't be more bland, even blander than spring rolls - the shrimp spring rolls he ate in the morning were dipped in rich curry sauce, and he didn't even taste the seasoning for lunch. Not even much salt was added.
"Speaking of which, do all heavenly beings have to be so particular about eating?"
"It actually depends on each person's situation. For example, Senior Fu is not taboo, and he even tries to get food from everywhere. I also asked him, and he said that this is called Fuyuan Road, which means he wants to get food from others. I can't say why. What, anyway, I heard that he was eating all day long before he ascended. Are you going to stop eating?"
"Forget it, I feel so tired. I can eat whatever I need to."
"Well, it's good to be here. If I have the chance, I probably won't be taboo. Meat is so delicious. People have to eat meat to live. By the way, I heard that some of your classmates plan to have a dinner during the break. ?”
"Ah, yes, it's my treat."
"I remember that at that time, I would always treat guests with the surname Guo. Anyway, he just needs to sign. Have you chosen where to eat? You haven't decided yet, right? Then I'll give this to you."
He handed over a small envelope on the table, with a print of island coconut trees on it.
"This is?"
"Actually, it's still a treat with the surname Guo. The meal coupons from Nanyang Department Store are not for you. They are benefits issued by the school to faculty and staff."
"Your Majesty, do you still have a teaching position?"
"I didn't, but my wife... ah, the queen, she has a teaching position. She was my classmate in the Chemical Engineering Department of Nanjing University. After graduation, she stayed at the school and got a teaching position. She should be on her lunch break at this time. . It’s useless for us to hold this meal coupon. We can’t just go to the department store to get the meal coupon to eat, right? You happen to be here. If you weren’t there, I would probably give it to my sister. My sister said that she is too busy with her internship recently. I don’t have time anymore, so I’ll give it to you. It’s a waste if you don’t use it.”
"Ah, thank you."
Although the meal is not very expensive, it is free if someone refuses to treat you.
"Well" Zhu Xianfen suddenly put down his chopsticks, "I thought of giving this to you because something happened recently and I wanted to thank you. But I really don't know how to thank you. Taking other people's things to thank you doesn't seem sincere. This After all, the meal tickets are ours and ours’s, so let’s express our feelings.”
"Did anything special happen?"
"Yes." Zhu Xianfen nodded, "I exchanged letters with Zhang Tianshi, and he saw you in Xingzhou. So, you also saw the Water Dragon, right? Do you know the purpose of developing the Water Dragon?"
"Going to the moon to mine spiritual stones?"
"That was a plan that was derived after the project was established. The initial project code name for the Suilong was 'Water Dragon', and the Suilong was just a sub-project included in it and was used as a delivery vehicle for 'the bomb'."
At this point, Shangluo understood what it was. Lu Huaiyang seemed to have mentioned it before, and it was research conducted to explore the principles of the sun.
"Is it an atomic bomb?"
"It seems to be called an atomic bomb in your place, and I only found out about it in the past two days. In our place, it is called an 'evil bomb' because the raw materials used to make the bomb will produce mixed, disordered, and ferocious evil energy. You guys seem to be using evil spirits to boil water and generate electricity? It’s really amazing. My heart trembled when I read the information.”
"Ah, that's an award." Shangluo didn't know how to answer, but he probably guessed what happened, "Is there something wrong with the research on evil spirits?"
"On the day you went to Rome to cut branches, a major accident occurred at the evil spirit research base in the Gobi Desert that morning. As a result, a researcher, one of my alumni, was directly impacted by a large amount of evil spirit in a short period of time. He was immediately sent to Nanjing. He was rescued at the Forbidden City General Hospital, and I visited him as an alumnus."
"How is he doing now?"
"The condition at that time was very bad. He was not a Qi practitioner, just an ordinary researcher. His flesh and blood had collapsed due to evil spirits, and his internal organs were gradually turning into pus. I originally wanted to go in and see him, but the doctor said that he Now I am very fragile, and I am afraid that I will also be hit by evil spirits, so I can only bow to him through the glass - I have discussed with the doctor, and there is currently no treatment plan, because the damage caused by evil spirits is subtle, causing damage to many organs in the body. There is no cure for all-round collapse. But——"
He paused for a moment: "I thought of a way at that time. I urgently transferred a batch of Qi Sea Spiritual Liquid. The amount of spiritual liquid at that time was not enough, so I could only dilute some and give it to him to soak in. The effect was immediate and abundant. The spiritual energy drove away the evil spirit, and his blood indicators began to gradually recover that day. We gave him supplementary blood transfusions, and the various indicators did not continue to decline."
"Cure?"
"It's hard to say. We still need to observe these two days, but I called and asked this morning. He can actually take liquid food this morning. Although it will take at least half a year to completely cure him, without the spiritual energy you provided, liquid formula, we are about to lose this hero."
"Ah, so that's it." Shangluo felt a little emotional. At first, he just wanted to recharge his batteries and help Lu Liang. I didn’t expect it to have so many functions.
"So, we, and I, are very grateful to you." He looked at the closed door of Yuxi Palace, "The stone statue has been transported in, and we have tried our best to make all preparations. Daozu will take care of you personally. So If. If, I mean if, if the result is not ideal, you must, must not force it. You are still young and you have plenty of opportunities, so don’t force it. Although I was a little frustrated when I said these words before, this is me My sincere words. Living well is more important than anything else."
