Chapter 28: Telling Stories and Cheating Beautiful Women
When Zhou Hao heard the question, he couldn't help but look up to Meizhen. He really didn't expect that this little girl could control her anger so well.
"What do you have here?"
Meizhen resisted the urge to roll her eyes and explained to Mr. "Tara" in a gentle voice that this was a hamburger shop that sold hamburgers!
"Okay, this is a burger shop, right? Then give me some scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
"Okay, scrambled eggs with tomatoes... scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
Mi-jin finished her retelling and looked at "Tara" with an incredible look.
"Sir, this is a hamburger shop. Are you sure you want scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
When Meizhen asked the question, she was really biting her back teeth. It wasn't just a metaphor; she really said these words from between her mouth.
"Yeah, it's just scrambled eggs with tomatoes. What's wrong with that?"
Looking at Tara's innocent eyes, Mei was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Meizhen gritted her teeth, wondering if she had a grudge against him? Touching his hand was fine, Meizhen could understand that he was lustful.
But ordering scrambled eggs with tomatoes in a hamburger restaurant is pure bullying.
Meizhen, who was about to explode, calmed down abruptly. It was not because she wanted to calm down, but because "Tara" opposite her was covered with tiny lightning.
"Haha, Xinnan, what are you still doing here? Didn't you hear that Mr. Tara wants to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Go and make it."
"Ah? Oh."
Xinnan didn’t understand what Meizhen was saying at first, but after taking a look at Meizhen’s eyes, he immediately agreed and went to the kitchen.
But what worries him more is how to stir-fry in such a frying pan?
Bei Miao and Dong Shan looked at Xin Nan with pity. At this time, only Xin Nan could take the responsibility, since he was the captain.
After this little episode, Meizhen and Zhou Hao got down to business. Actually, Zhou Hao didn't want to get down to business so early, as he wanted to play for a while longer.
But looking at Meizhen's determined health-conscious eyes, he hesitated for a moment, thinking that he could still play in a few days, so he agreed to the other party's "unreasonable" request.
"Tell me, Miss Meizhen, what do you want to talk to me about? Although I am a person with no time to spare, I can't waste my time casually."
Meizhen looked seriously at Mr. "Tara", who was wearing a mask and wrapping himself tightly.
But after a few seconds her eyes moved to another direction, because she really couldn't figure out this person's thoughts and didn't know how to talk to him.
After taking a deep breath, she decided to play straight. If the effect is not good, she can change it. As for how to judge when Zhou Hao puts on the mask? This is very simple, just listen to the sound and tone.
"Mr. Tara, don't you know what this ability you are using is?"
Zhou Hao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the question. He didn't expect the woman to ask so directly. After thinking about it, he didn't hide it directly, but he wanted to tell the other party in a different way.
"Do you know air magic?"
"I've heard that you are a magician?"
Meizhen answered sincerely. Because she had to deal with mutants, she had been looking at some strange things, including the air magic that the gentleman opposite mentioned.
Zhou Hao was not surprised when he heard the woman's answer, but he shook his head and prepared to start making up a story.
"Want to hear a story?"
"Okay, but that would be a waste of your time, Mr. Tara."
Zhou Hao smiled but did not answer. He sorted out his thoughts in his mind before speaking slowly.
“3.5 million years ago, dinosaurs still lived on this tiny planet, and our species also began to gain intelligence at that time.
1 million years ago, the dinosaurs became extinct. My ancestors felt something different in the meteorites. After the meteorites landed, they were slightly different from what we observe now.
There are no volcanoes erupting on our little broken planet, nor is there a global freeze, only meteorites emitting different colors and gases.
Zhou Hao was talking about Meizhen next to him. Bei Miao and Dong Shan did not disturb him because they felt that they were going to touch some unknown mysterious areas today.
“My ancestors were the first people to eat crabs, but that’s not true, because there were basically no living creatures on the small, broken ball after being washed away by meteorites.
It took my ancestors nearly a thousand years to figure out that there were two different kinds of energy on this meteorite, one of which my ancestors called "qi".
This "qi" is neither oxygen nor air, but a mysterious energy. People who practice it can live longer and gain some strange abilities. Plants or animals that absorb it can also grow quickly. The most important thing is that it has no side effects.
My ancestors called this other kind of energy "Shijuanshi". Different from the previous "qi", this "Shijuanshi" could not be absorbed by animals or plants.
Even for humans, only a small part can be absorbed, but the part that absorbs the "Driver" is stronger in cultivation than the others that absorb the "Qi".
However, after two or three hundred years, the two people who practiced "Sailing Scroll" and those who practiced "Qi" had mature systems and their strengths were similar.
Are you confused now? 1 million years ago, "Sailing Scroll" and "Qi" were so widely used, why can't we see them now?"
Meizhen and the other two looked at each other and then nodded.
He didn't keep you in suspense and explained the reason directly.
“That’s because 1000 million years ago my ancestors discovered that the “Sailing Scripture” and “Qi” were slowly disappearing. Until 300 million years ago, these two substances had basically disappeared, with only trace elements left.
There is no way to practice "Qi" and "Shijuanshi" on a large scale anymore, but what surprised my ancestors was that the tribesmen who practiced "Shijuanshi" could continue to practice by reproduction.
But this kind of cultivation method cannot be used on a large scale. I can’t really explain why, but it cannot be propagated on a large scale.”
"So what are you practicing now?"
Seeing that Mr. "Tara" had no intention of continuing to speak, Meizhen asked a question that went straight to the point.
Zhou Hao looked at Meizhen with admiration, and at the same time thought in his heart.
As expected of the boss, the questions he asked were so to the point.
"I am an outlier. My parents gave birth to me two hundred years ago. One of them is from the Quark Clan, which is the group of people who practiced scroll magic mentioned earlier, and the other one practiced air magic. However, I am the only scorpion father in my clan, so no one knows why I am so strong."
After hearing this answer, the three people in the hall fell silent again, but this time the silence did not last long, as Mei Zhen, the leader, raised a new question.
