Chapter Thirty-Seven: Omens
ackdrop of the west bank of the River Nai might not be considered particularly scenic, it certainly has its own unique charm.Of course, there is no "Ghost Feast Eight Treasures" on the menu.【Hot pot】...The sightseeing bus has arrived. Google search .com
The cold of the Winter Kingdom had no effect on the warm and pleasant secret realm, a large, exaggerated dreamlike sun was contributing its light and warmth.
On the beach, travelers frolicked and played, enjoying a fairytale moment of bliss.
"It's so comfortable, vacations should be spent here soaking up the sun and checking out the swimsuit girls." The fat man had already put on his wide black sunglasses.
"Let's go to the service point first, buy some seafood cards, and then go play. After a while, more people will come to eat." Tang Wuyao suggested.
Lu Cheng's uniquely shaped large pot piqued the interest of his teammates. They all expressed strong anticipation for this "hot pot" style of eating.
The service point is located on the beach and decorated as a giant seashell. Its shell clearly reads,
The notes of the Mermaid's Beach are bubbles from mermaids singing.
This Lu Cheng did know, 【Sound Note Foam】 he had encountered it during a duel before, never thought this magic card came from here.
The fat man charged ahead, roaring and buying seafood. Lu Cheng was still reluctantly searching everywhere to see if he could salvage a card or two.
The dreamy sun shines brilliantly in the sky. Through the foam of the Mermaid Beach, you can faintly see the Rainbow Bridge in the distance. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet - seven colors, it's really beautiful....
Wait a moment
"Oh, senior sister, I have a question for you," Lu Cheng called out to Tang Wuyao beside him.
"Boss, please don't call me 'senior sister,' just call me by my name." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Well, Senior Sister Tang Wuyao, what colors make up a rainbow" Lu Cheng's tone was very unsure.
"Well, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, there are seven of them." Tang Wuyao was a bit puzzled. Wasn't this common knowledge
"It's not... What is going on... I mean, look over there." Lu Cheng pointed towards the Rainbow Bridge in the distance.
Tang Wuyao turned her head.
"That's the Rainbow Bridge, boss. Count them: red, orange... and wait, why is there a black edge"
The Rainbow Bridge is still magnificently hung in the sky, but today's rainbow seems to have an out-of-place color, looking... different!
"Sis, what are you guys talking about We bought it for you, and brought you the seaweed you like."
"Little demon girl, look over there at the rainbow. Doesn't it have a black edge"
Tang Wenyao, hearing this, glanced at the Rainbow Bridge, then took out her sightseeing bus ticket.
She remembered that the ticket showed a real picture of Rainbow Bridge.
After watching, they all looked at each other.
Lu Cheng glanced at the train ticket and then at the rainbow. His expression was first puzzled, then excited.
It could be an expansion pack card!
When Lu Cheng said this, the sisters looked at each other and seemed to find some truth in his words.
After Liu Hongying and Fatty returned to the team, the three of them pointed at the Rainbow Bridge.
They also believe this is very likely to be a card.
"Shall we set off right away" the fat man said eagerly.
"That's right, let's go now. If not, we can come back to the beach later."
"Hey, boss, you........"
Lu Cheng has already found a patch of empty sand and summoned [hot pot] with his hand. He's also holding a fire source card, it looks like he's getting ready to cook over a fire.
"Huh" Lu Cheng looked at his teammates' astonished expressions. "Oh, no rush. Such an obvious phenomenon, it's definitely not just us who found it. Look..."
He pointed to several pairs of people hurrying away from the beach and towards Rainbow Bridge in the distance.
"Over there, it's definitely a free-for-all of duels, competitions, and even straight-up brawls right now. We better buff up well and be the last ones to enter."
This kind of situation, Lu Cheng was very familiar with. Generally, the first thing they would do is either glare at each other or fight to exhaust their energy, usually allowing someone else to reap the benefits.
.......
"Wow, this way of eating is so fresh and really delicious!"
For the first time, everyone witnessed this way of eating. The pot of broth was boiling with fresh flavor, and the ingredients were floating in it. Everyone ate with great joy.
Lu Cheng researched the 【Seafood Broth (Terrible)】, and found that in addition to providing ordinary basic ingredients like all other dishes, the seafood hot pot would offer a weak water resistance and energy recovery effect for a period of time.
"This state effect is pretty good, my energy recovery efficiency has increased by about 10%!" Liu Hongying exclaimed.
As a team buff, it's pretty good.
Lu Cheng was naturally unsatisfied, but his cooking skills were too poor at the moment, and the ingredients were even worse. There was no better way. He would wait until later to catch a dragon and cook it, taste it, and see what state to add it in.
"Fatty, when things really get chaotic later on, you and Sister Red Shadow are responsible for drawing attention, but don't actually fight anyone. We'll find an opportunity then."
"Okay!" The fat man was scooping a piece of fish into his mouth.
Suddenly, the sky turned dark.
"Ouch, hot!" The fish just taken out of the pot fell onto Fatty's leg, burning him so badly that he let out a howl.
The sky suddenly brightened again.
"What, what's going on" The fat man looked around, not quite understanding. He shrugged it off, anyway, and continued searching for "prey" in the pot.
But he didn't see it. As twilight fell, a giant face appeared in the sky, its eyes... blinked.
........
In the lavish guest room, an expensive cigar was tossed to the ground, followed by a pair of leather shoes that stomped on it ruthlessly.
"It's over, completely over! The index is skyrocketing, evacuate the passengers immediately! Dispatch security forces from the Secret Realm Company and report to the government right away!"
"Chairman, do you know what this means" A man in a suit and glasses, who had just patted down an errant cigarette ash, spoke slowly.
"I know, but what can we do Liu's family put over 1600 pieces of [energy-absorbing ore] into the formation. Liu Tianming guaranteed there wouldn't be a problem within a month, look at it now!"
The chairman pointed at the striking cobra-like curve on the screen!
"Chairman, it's precisely because of these 1600 pieces of 【depleted ore】. They are all evidence, you know If this gets out, Andy is finished, no, *you* are finished." The man’s tone seemed as if he were speaking about something unrelated to himself.
"What are we going to do! Tell me what to do!! We have one hour left!" The CEO waved his hand wildly, sending his personal terminal crashing to the floor.
"Energy Minerals can consume their own energy to offset some environmental energy. In a deteriorating secret realm, the minerals' energy consumption is rapid; in just two days, they become indistinguishable from ordinary stones, and there will be no evidence left at that point....... "
The chairman's eyes widened. He was right, if there were no evidence, it would only be a malicious accident. Although the Andy consortium would suffer a heavy blow, at least he himself would be safe and sound. But...
"How can you last for 2 days One hour into the secret realm and it will completely deteriorate and enter stage 1! The military's instructor detachment will airdrop within 15 minutes to block off all media access around the card!"
Then close Storybrooke. No one goes in, no one comes out...
The chairman was stunned, and it took him a long time to recover.
"You, you're insane You trapped 30,000 tourists and over 3,000 of our own people in a secret realm that's deteriorating to stage 1 And after closing off the realm, the military is demanding we open it for rescue. How are we supposed to explain that"
"No, you might not understand what I mean. When I say close, I mean close it completely."
Glasses reflected a gleam, making it impossible to see the man's eyes.
"Completely shut down"
"Well, the entrance to a deteriorating secret realm is inherently unstable. Immediately find Liu Tianming and his son, Liu Jun, and have them use [Blazing Explosion] to destroy the entrance to the secret realm, burying all its secrets!"u Dynasty, which had been prosperous for some time, began to decline. The new king ascended the throne and, in an attempt to stabilize his authority, only made things worse.Li Cheng sat on the Great W...
