Under the arena, there was complete silence.
Ye Qing turned back to look at Ao Xuehua: "Is the difference in strength so great?"
Ao Xuehua smiled: "The gap is even greater than you imagined, Xiaojiu."
"I said before that the only hope of victory is to pray for a miracle to happen. In fact, the so-called miracle is that the five judges show some favoritism and favoritism to His Highness the Third Highness because of their respective positions. This is the only way. chance of victory." Ao Xuehua looked there: "However, it seems that none of those five have such an idea."
Ye Qing was slightly dissatisfied: "But we have all tasted senior sister's tea last night. Didn't we all say that we have never tasted tea that tastes better than this?"
Ao Xuehua turned his head and glanced at Christie in the distance quietly: "But I never told you that the best tea you have ever drunk can really win against Alaya."
"You have heard most of what I told Ge Sheng before, so you should remember that I said that Christie has gone astray in the past three years. Although I did not explain it, you should be able to guess it."
"For example, the candies Ge Sheng brought to you, did they give you a subversive feeling?"
"It feels so shocking that candies can have such a taste."
"And this is where Christie has gone astray in the past three years."
"She no longer wanted to study the art of killing, so she turned to indulge in sensual enjoyment. She began to devote herself to using her almost perfect attainments in potions and alchemy to create some products that subverted the previous ones in terms of texture and taste. A work of cognitive horror.”
"Initially, she tried to remake all the potions in the form of candies. This transition from liquid to solid made all the potions easier to store and preserve, but it also brought about a relative speed in absorbing the power of the potions. Especially for comatose people, lumpy candies are very difficult to take, so she began to improve those candies, constantly improving the manufacturing process and forming principles according to their specific uses, among which the kind you have tasted on weekdays The type that is as strong as steel but can almost break and burst into sugar water the moment you eat it is one of the best."
"After making this progress, the rest was almost easily solved. She began to endlessly use all means to improve the taste of candies. Her only source of fun during this period was to feel every small step of her candies. Improvement in taste.”
"That is, at the same time, when she was extracting spices and pure flavors, she created more candies that were almost like monsters. Just eating a little would make you energetic, forget fatigue, and bring great pleasure. However, although It has so many advantages, but as long as it is consumed many times, it will produce a strong dependence, so she strictly controlled the production of this batch of products, retaining only a few samples and emergency medicines for emergency use."
"Otherwise, once she decides to let the batch of candies with thousands of times the actual effect of hallucinogenic plants such as psychedelic leaves and so on appear through the commercial federation, then even if she is Alaya consciousness, the three empires We will also wipe out the Commercial Federation at all costs."
"But when she reached this stage, the potential of the candies that could be used as a substitute for potions had been temporarily tapped to the extreme. However, in the process of turning the potions into candies, she accumulated a lot of experience, so she began to turn these candies into candies. When this method was turned to cooking and drinking, it finally opened the door to a new world."
"At this time, all the methods in the conventional field, no matter how delicious or ingenious, have no meaning at all to her. Only if you can also produce works that overturn tradition and subvert the past, will she provoke A little bit of interest.”
"But unfortunately, no one can imagine out of thin air what they have not seen. We can only associate but never imagine out of thin air. Even if a genius is like Alaya Shi, she must be inspired after trying to solidify the medicine. , and then made greater breakthroughs in the fields of beverages and cooking. Before we saw her breakthroughs, we never imagined that there would be such a new world in these two fields. All our previous experiences were like being in a shell. She is studying deeply and cannot see the vast coast outside, so at this stage, in these fields, she is truly invincible."
Speaking of this, Ao Xuehua sighed with laughter and tears: "Yes, even though I have said so much, she has indeed achieved achievements worthy of Alaya Consciousness in this aspect, but the saddest thing is that these are the real details. of every detail.”
"In today's world, people rely on their own strength as a reliable basis. Just like Christie, who is Alaya Consciousness, he must wait until the Linglong Heart is completely completed before he dares to step forward to end the civil strife. All wealth and status without strength are just useless. Water without a source and a root without a root. People like Christie are unable to effectively improve their own strength in the short term, so they turn to external objects for help. Although they have obtained the most terrifying external object in the world, the Linglong Heart, they are not completely their own after all. With the understanding of ordinary people, after obtaining the wealth and power of Croft, all Christie had to do was to integrate her own resources and strive to raise her Exquisite Heart to another level. Everyone knew that she was at the same level. She is invincible in the world, so even if her Linglong Heart realm is promoted from the Tianshi realm to the Ziwei realm, it will be the world's best Ziwei realm. This will give the Croft family a real chance to become the same as the seven hermit clans. The top forces that are tied together.”
"But on the contrary, she chose to hesitate. If she continued to work in the field of alchemy, magic potions, inscriptions and weapon refining, then even if she is still not as good as Xiang, she is definitely not far behind. But on the contrary, now she is In terms of food, to put it simply, the knowledge and skills directly related to Linglong Heart are still at the level of three years ago. Instead, in the pursuit of delicious food, she has made rapid progress and is now truly proud of the world, seeking defeat alone."
"Should you say that she wasted her resources? Or should you say that she found the best way to use her talents?"
But at this point, Ao Xuehua's expression suddenly became serious: "Although saying this is a bit of a joke, there is one thing I must explain. Not to mention that in the current Emperor's Oath, her talent has received the best Her performance is such that in her field we can only hope to lose decently, but there is one thing that is always worth thinking about."
"Is she really not doing her job properly and sluggish? Is she unwilling to further make herself stronger?"
"She still deliberately kept a low profile, because when she took Linglongxin and took control of the Croft family in the name of Alaya, the world was shocked. Countless forces stared at her with vigilance and uneasiness. Even within the Os family, there were some I suggested cutting it off while she was still on a weak footing, but because of her gradual sinking on the surface, she slowly lost her vigilance."
Ao Xuehua smiled slightly: "For this question, even if you ask her herself, it will be difficult to get the truly correct answer."
On the field, Christie pressed one hand on his huge metal cylinder and slowly unscrewed the bottle cap. Ye Luan looked intently and saw three smaller metal cylinders inside, presenting the product. The glyphs are placed in it.
Ye Luan couldn't help but ask: "Is this tea?"
Christie smiled: "Of course it's tea."
Saying this, Christie calmly took out the three cylinders, moved her fingers slightly, and six metal small round cups jingled out from her fingers. Then she opened the first cylinder first, and only You can see green powder inside, and if you smell it carefully, you can smell the fragrance of tea.
Then Christie took out a delicate spoon, scooped a flat spoonful of powder into each cup, and opened the second cylinder. This time, there was a steaming white milk-like liquid inside, but although the color was white , but surprisingly no smell at all.
This time Christie took out a larger flat-bottomed wooden spoon, scooped out six more spoons and added them to the teacup one after another. This time, when the milky white hot liquid entered the teacup and met the tea powder, layers of green color suddenly aroused. of bubbles. These foams surged up and soon exceeded the rim of the cup. It's strange to say that these foams seemed to be turbulent. As soon as the cup was pushed out, they dissipated like soup and snow, leaving only the purest and most fragrant smell filling the air. , even Ye Qing and others far away in the stands smelled an almost dreamy smell.
However, none of the five judges on the stage moved because the last column had not been opened.
Christie smiled slightly and slowly opened the third column. As soon as the column was opened, white mist was seen rising upwards like a steamer. Christie remained calm, took out the third spoon, and slowly pushed away the mist. After scooping out the contents, there was a jade-green, jellied-like gelatinous object in the middle, and countless white mist was rising from it.
Christie's right hand steadily poured the first gel into the teacup. The tea that was still foaming upward instantly calmed down, and a layer of ice as thin as cicada wings condensed on the surface of the water. In just a moment, Haiyan River is clear, and what is presented to everyone is a cup of cold tea that is crystal clear and wrapped in ice without any aroma leaking out.
Christie did not stop. As five pieces of gel fell one after another, the six cups of tea all turned into normal shapes.
Christie calmly tied up her hands and said with a smile: "The specialty of my hometown, chewing tea, please taste it, judges."
Ye Luan picked up the tea cup. Perhaps it was due to the special structure of the tea cup. Although it was a metal with excellent thermal conductivity, and the tea in the cup was obviously a cup of frozen ice tea, the temperature of the tea cup was still slightly cool and pleasant. It was obviously very well insulated. .
Taking a gentle breath, there was indeed no scent of tea. With a little curiosity, Ye Luan brought the tea cup to Ying's mouth, and tried to push open the thin layer of frozen ice with the tip of his tongue. He felt that nothing had been touched. I had never felt a slight coolness before, and the tea poured into my teeth.
The moment the tea touched his taste buds, Ye Luan couldn't restrain himself from trembling. If it weren't for his excellent concentration, I'm afraid the virtuous princess would have been unable to restrain herself from moaning at this moment.
What kind of tea is this?
If the coca tea presented by His Highness the Third Highness just now can be called the best tea that Ye Luan has ever tasted in the princess’s life, then what she tasted at this time has completely subverted Ye Luan’s concept of tea. .
This is actually tea?
And, this tea is actually hot.
Not only is it hot, but it’s also slightly scalding but just the right amount of heat. But that cup of cold tea just now was still frozen?
However, compared to the taste, all this is limited and insignificant.
If Ye Luan really wanted to use one word to describe the taste of this cup of tea, then there would be only one word.
burst.
As if this cup of tea exploded in your mouth, all the aromas and fragrant delicacies filled all your taste buds at the moment of entry, so that you could no longer feel other flavors, and at the moment they were all absorbed, they all Everything disappears without a trace, like an hallucination. Only the heavenly delicious touch remains in your mind in the form of an "afterimage", urging you to take a sip of tea.
This reminded Ye Luan of a legend - Croft's Alaya Consciousness. She had the magic power to turn anything into poison.
It wasn't until this moment that Ye Luan truly understood this sentence.
With great reluctance and strong willpower, Ye Luan put the cup of tea back on the table with his trembling right hand, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and then spit it out.
This moment just now was even one of the biggest tests that Ye Luan had to face in his life.
But when Ye Luan opened her eyes, what she saw made her dumbfounded.
The three people on her left only took a sip before putting their teacups down again. Although their expressions were full of regret, their profound cultivation and strong self-control allowed them to make such a move better than Ye Ye. Luan is much simpler, but to Ye Luan's right, Senior Carotes is even more unbelievable. He has already put the tea cup against the lower edge of his lips, taking a small sip while raising his head to enjoy the cup. A moment of blissful sensory experience, and when the experience disappears, he rushes to take another sip. The expression of intoxication and obsession is the same as when taking some taboo drug.
Oh my gosh, it's terrible that Carrots alone has ruined the image and reputation of the entire jury.
But when Ye Luan moved his eyes to Christie, he saw an unexpected scene.
As mentioned before, Christie used six cups when making it, and obviously there were only five judges in front of him, so who was the tea in the sixth cup prepared for?
Yes, the owner of the sixth cup of tea is His Highness.
Even Ye Luan, when he saw the third prince's equally intoxicated and astonishing chin approaching the tea cup and tilting the cup slightly, he did not sip crazily like Carrots, but just stretched out his mouth like a kitten. He stirred the tea with the tip of his tongue little by little to get the taste. Although in a sense Carrotes and His Highness were performing similar behaviors, the senses they gave people were completely different.
If the imagination expands, even if the behavior of Carotes and His Highness the Third Prince is reversed, this sense will not change at all.
If you don’t believe it, please use your imagination and let Carrots, a middle-aged bald man who appears to be over thirty years old, hold a small cup and crazily stick out his tongue to lick the water in the tea cup. This behavior can already constitute Let's arrest him for the crime of polluting the public environment.
In the final analysis, everything is the fault of appearance.
However, the time for His Highness to get rid of the influence was much shorter than that of Carrots. It only took a few snaps of his fingers. His Highness finally left the teacup and looked at Christie calmly, without any frustration of failure: "Yes. , it tastes incredible, I lost.”
Christie didn't look proud at all, she just shook her head calmly: "This is not the field you are really good at, it is just a hobby at best, and in a sense, this is my current profession. The gap between hobby and profession will always be the same. There is a difference between cloud and mud.”
Saying this, Christie looked at the referee's table: "I'm sorry, but can't I vote?"
