Chapter 141: A Strange World
Bai Qinan woke up, it should be said that he had been awake for several days. When I wake up, my head is always groggy and I can remember a lot of things, but I feel as if I have forgotten something. Probably the after-effects of the battle, so his brain was still not so clear.
But for the most part, he survived in good health.
In the past few days, a man named Bai Zhantang has been coming to visit him, hoping that he can recall something.
But Bai Qinan actually didn't know how to respond to Bai Zhantang's words such as a traverser and a returner.
But fortunately, Bai Qinan is not stupid, he knows that since some things can't be explained, it's better to pretend to be stupid, at least it seems that the man named Bai Zhantang has no ill will towards him.
I have just come to this world, and everything is not yet adaptable.
Just like now, he was lying in a bed called Simmons. This bed is so soft. Although it is soft, it is very supportive, so that people don't bother to get up again after lying on it.
For example, this thing in front of you. That Bai Zhantang said that this thing is called a TV. It's kind of amazing. There are actually a lot of people walking around in it, aren't they stuffy when they are trapped in this kind of small box? Or is this world actually not the low aura world that they imagined, but the aura is so high that this kind of immortal props similar to the high-end immortal method of the mirror flower and water moon are so popular.
There are also those things that are speeding on the road outside the window, and Bai Zhantang said that they are called cars. Is it because these cars are vented from the back of their butts, so they are called cars?
At that time, with a strong curiosity, Bai Qinan tried these immortal qi ejected from the rear of the car. In order to find a strong enough immortal qi, he even took the initiative to find those immortal qi that were more powerful. That is, the kind of car that emits blue smoke and black smoke from the exhaust of the car.
As a result, these immortal qi almost didn't faint Bai Qinan, it was too stinky.
Bai Qi Nan's cultivation of the immortal method has reached a certain level, and he has actually entered the stage of Bigu. However, Bigu cultivation requires other ways to maintain energy consumption.
In the previous world, the immortal aura was strong, and he could satisfy his own consumption by meditating and cultivating and breathing the aura of heaven and earth, but after arriving in this world, the aura of heaven and earth in the air was completely insufficient.
Before, he was on the vein of the radiation frame, absorbing the energy of the radiation mine and maintaining the Bigu cultivation without eating, but after coming to the hive, the meager aura here could not be consumed at all by the little energy of spitting and meditating, so the ancestors of the dignified Bigu period still needed to eat and drink.
Although Bai Qinan was an immortal at the Bigu stage, in the previous world, he would occasionally eat some mortal food, not to fill his stomach, but just to satisfy his appetite, taste different tastes, and satisfy his tongue.
But in the world in which Bai Qinan lives, cooking is actually relatively backward. In that world, there is no fuel consumption, no chicken essence, no fresh vegetables, and no various flavors and soup stocks.
In the world to which Bai Qinan belongs, the condiments are still very simple: oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar. A well-skilled chef can only rely on natural ingredients to make different flavors.
Only a small number of chefs have mastered how to mix and match ingredients to enrich the taste and texture of the food. It's a very profound craft.
But in this world, it seems that food has become much more delicious. Because there are too many seasonings. It doesn't matter if you can't be a Buddha jumping over the wall. Because you can buy semi-finished products.
It doesn't matter if you don't know how to make a sauce for braised pork? because you can buy a semi-finished seasoning.
Don't know how to mix mapo tofu?
In this world, we use advanced chemical techniques to restructure all the tastes that humans can taste into chemical components and then arrange them into an assembly line product that can be mass-produced in factories.
For most people, they can't tell the difference between a juice made with various chemical agents and a freshly squeezed juice.
The difference in taste and taste between bottled beverages and freshly squeezed juices is simply because producers need to keep costs down. After all, a bottle of drink itself costs only a few cents. And their selling price may be three, five, and 10 yuan.
If it were really in the chemical laboratories responsible for mixing drinks, if the staff were given 10 yuan for the material cost, the juice they mixed would be enough to make it as real as it was. It is even said to taste better than freshly squeezed juice.
So for Bai Qi Nan, this immortal who has not been subjected to various taste shocks. For the first time, I felt the power of industry in Huaihai Hive City.
Because everything you buy is delicious. It seems that there is no such thing as a particularly unpalatable food in this world. Dare to hang it on the shelf and sell it, then the taste is not bad.
Just like now, Bai Qinan was nibbling on a piece of Want Want Baked Rice Cake. He has recently fallen in love with food that is fragrant, crispy, and has a bit of umami. It was a taste that he had never experienced in the previous world.
Of course, Bai Zhantang has been coming to chat with him these days, asking him all kinds of so-called things about the traverser.
At first, Bai Qinan was a little confused, but in the past few days, he has been watching TV, and he somewhat understands what the so-called time-traveler returnee means.
It looks like I've traveled from my own world to this place. There are so-called returnees in this world. So people here mistake themselves for returnees.
Since this is the case, Bai Qinan decided not to reveal his identity and continued to act here in the name of a returnee.
After all, if this is the case, his existence is more reasonable, as for Bai Qinan, he has been asking if he has encountered the Returnee Management Association, whether he has lost his strength, whether he has lost his memory, etc., all of them have been perfunctory by Bai Qinan.
Bai Qinan didn't know what kind of heart Bai Zhantang had, so he didn't dare to expose himself. After all, there seem to be some beings in this world that they can't afford to provoke, just like those who release explosive flying swords.
Although Bai Zhantang kept telling him to stay in the house and not to walk around. It would be troublesome to say that he would go out without an ID or something.
But Bai Qinan has been in this room for many days, and he is uncomfortable to death. I just want to go out and hang out. Although there are a lot of things in this world that I don't understand, but because of this, this world is interesting, and it is all kinds of things that I have never seen.
So taking advantage of Bai Zhantang's absence, Bai Qinan sneaked out of the door. Although he said that he didn't have the money in this world, if he really needed something, he should be able to solve it.
By the way, it just so happened that my Want Want baked rice crackers had been eaten. I remember that Bai Zhantang seemed to buy it at a convenience store called FamilyMart below. Although Bai Qinan didn't really know what the name FamilyMart meant, it didn't prevent him from knowing that it was a grocery store. It's just that this grocery store sells a lot of snacks and fresh meals, as well as other daily necessities.
Although the store is small, it has more variety of products than any other grocery store of the same size in the world.
I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry~ I'm really hungry
Accompanied by a theme song unique to FamilyMart. Bai Qi Nan stepped into this convenience store. His robe had been destroyed, and he was now wearing the same civilian clothes that Bai Zhantang had given him.
The little brother and sister at the front desk said very warmly, "Welcome." ”
This made Bai Qi Nan a little uncomfortable. He nodded in return with a restrained nod, because he hadn't done it for many years since he had returned the favor with a mortal.
After all, in his own world, he doesn't need to throw anyone else's face. But since you have traveled to other worlds, it is better to keep a low profile.
Want Want Baked Rice Crackers, Want Want Baked Rice Crackers. Bai Qinan was hesitating in the store to find his own Wangwang baked rice crackers. Ah, yes, he saw a bag of roasted rice crackers hanging on the shelf.
But now I want to eat, but I don't have the money. So what should be done?
Bai Qinan has his own way. The hand hidden in the pocket shook quietly. A silent spell began to be unleashed. The roasted rice crackers hanging on the shelves suddenly disappeared.
Bai Qinan turned around, as if nothing had happened, as if he wanted to leave the convenience store without picking the goods he wanted to buy, but before he could walk out of the door, the little brother on duty in the convenience store quickly jumped up from the backstage and jumped behind him and grabbed him with his hand.
"Sir, you haven't paid the bill for the roasted rice crackers you bought. ”
Bai Qi Nan was a little stunned. He obviously felt that there was no strong energy fluctuation on this man's body, how could he see through his spells?
Just as the two were at a stalemate, the door of the convenience store opened again, accompanied by the melodious and unique music.
I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry~ I'm really hungry.
A young girl full of vitality jumped in, and said with a big smile: "Brother Xiao Yang, Sister Xiao Shu, I came to see you!"
I don't know why, when she saw this girl appear, Bai Qi Nan felt that the man's hand that grabbed her shoulder suddenly loosened, as if she was trembling slightly.
