184. Bold Elixir
Although Xie Xiaoke and Wang Xiaochen did not live in the most expensive room, because of the long time, the total price was not low, and the attitude of the front desk lady towards them was the icing on the cake.
Then the waiters were responsible for helping them carry their luggage up to the room, and also reminded various matters that need attention, Xie Xiaoke took out a tip of 200 yuan and handed it to her to express his gratitude, and the waiter bowed again and again.
This kind of room is actually quite good, it has all the equipment, but it is not as big and luxurious as the royal suite, but after all, it is a trip, if the room is too good, you don't always stay here, and there is a bird?
It was already 17:40 in the afternoon when everything was settled, so they went out for a little dinner and went back to the hotel room.
The moon is very round tonight, they can just try it, what is the difference between sleeping in Shanghai and Macau!
......
One hour later, Wang Xiaochen shouted for help, and Xie Xiaoke stopped.
At 16:30 the next afternoon, the two took a taxi to Sai Wan Lake Square.
People who go to the food festival are all mixed eating and drinking, and Xie Xiaoke is the same, especially Wang Xiaochen, this food festival should not be called a food festival for her at all, but a large open-air multi-functional cafeteria.
In order to get a little more food here, the two dogs and men slept until 11 o'clock today, did not eat in the morning, did not rest at noon, and rushed over directly in the afternoon.
This year, the Macau Food Festival is held in the first place, every Monday to Thursday from 17:00-23:00, Friday to Sunday from 15:00-24:00.
Coming here, everyone subconsciously has high expectations for seafood, although Shencheng is also a coastal city, but compared with Cantonese cuisine, of course, the latter has a higher attainment in seafood, and there is no seafood in that place in China that can be compared with Macau and Guangdong.
Wang Xiaochen carried a small satchel, let go of the hand he was holding with Xie Xiaoke, and walked to a stall on the left.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the local organizer, Wang Xiaochen politely said thank you, and then reached out to pick it up.
But before she could stretch out her hand, the skewer was snatched away by a little girl about 6 years old, and she stood in front of Wang Xiaochen and added it with her tongue.
The stall owner couldn't help but laugh.
Wang Xiaochen, who was tragically molested, really wanted to slap this girl to death, she squatted down and asked the little girl: "Little sister, you can't eat too much seafood, it's not good for your health!"
The little girl swallowed the seafood in her mouth and said slowly, "My grandfather lived to be 108 years old!"
"Your grandfather often eats seafood?" asked Wang Xiaochen in disbelief.
The little girl shook her head and said, "No, my grandfather was never nosy!"
Wang Xiaochen: "......"
Later, Xie Xiaoke also returned here, and the stall owner gave them a skewer, and after eating, the taste was really good.
Those who can come here to participate in food programs have a little level, with the rapid development of food in China, those three-legged cat kung fu can't be on the stage at all.
Throughout the world, there is no country in terms of food is China's opponent, first of all, this has something to do with the cultural traditions of the nation, in the early nineteenth century, the French scholar Napoleon once said:
"China is a sleeping lion, and when it wakes up, the whole world will be shaken!"
Because the Chinese can eat a flooded species into an ordinary species, then eat it into a protected animal, and finally eat it into a fossil for archaeologists thousands of years later.
Eat dumplings Chinese New Year's Eve night, eat Laba porridge on Laba Festival, eat glutinous rice balls on Lantern Festival, eat zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival, eat Qingtuan on Qingming Festival, and eat moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival...... And so on, in addition to all festivals can be linked to eating, there are many occasions that are inseparable from eating.
Say hello: "Have you eaten?"
Beginning to recover from a serious illness: "Let's eat more good food!"
Terminally ill: "Eat more good food!"
My wife is pregnant: "Let's eat more good food!"
Promotions and raises: "Eat more good food!"
What do you care about most when traveling?
Landscape, culture?
Hehe, of course, it's snacks, food, are there any souvenirs to take home!
In the final analysis, a country can study food so thoroughly, because of the continuous innovation of the people, the crystallization of wisdom, and the most important reason - a large population.
If you add up the cuisine of all European countries, it is not comparable to China, because the population of all European countries combined is not as large as the Chinese.
But Asia is different, including several neighboring countries around China, Yuenan, Taiguo, Bug Country, and Bangzi Country all have their own unique cuisine, and they are extremely famous in the world.
There are also cuisines from these countries everywhere in China, including this food festival, which also has a lot of food from abroad.
In addition to simply enjoying food, this food festival also promotes cultural exchanges and has a certain role in promoting cultural output.
Xie Xiaoke has always been very confident that he is not a foodie, and often laughs at Wang Xiaochen, but this time when he came to Macau, he was subdued, and he really couldn't control himself in the face of these delicacies.
They spent the whole night eating and playing, and they also met a few friends who went there from Shencheng, and they had a good time.
It's not enough to just eat, and since you come to Macau, you must also go to tourist attractions to join in the fun.
In the next few days, they went out to find various attractions during the day, took selfies, posted on Moments, and then went to the food festival square to eat at night, basically eating once a day and at night.
The Ruins of St. Paul's, one of the landmark buildings on the front wall of the Mother of Tianzhu Church in Macau, is also a good place to take pictures!
Mazu Temple, one of the famous places of interest in Macau, is said to have the name of Mazu originated from the goddess Niang Ma, who used to fish in the South China Sea, often encountered violent storms, and legend has it that Niang Ma transformed into a girl to calm the storm, and people have been able to live in peace. There is an endless stream of people who come here to pray for blessings, and the incense is vigorous.
During the day on the 20th, they went to the Venetian Resort for a full day.
It is also a large-scale integrated resort in Macau that integrates food, wine, shopping, accommodation, entertainment and business. You can also experience the charm of Macau casinos in the casino.
It is illegal to gamble in the mainland, but you can play a few games here, not only to have a good time, but also to pass the time and have fun.
This is a little attractive to Xie Xiaoke, after all, young people who don't want to make waves desperately, besides, he is not afraid of losing, he has passed the time, of course it is better if he wins.
"Let's not go to the food festival tonight, let's go to the casino!" Xie Xiaoke proposed.
Wang Xiaochen has eaten almost the same in the past ten days, there are a lot of delicacies at the food festival, even if she goes to eat every day, she can't eat them all, but no matter how delicious the place is, she will always get tired of going to the casino every day, so she also agreed to go to the casino to play fresh and exciting.
"Okay, whatever, I've had enough anyway, haha!"
As soon as it got dark in the evening, they went to a good restaurant for dinner, and went straight to a large casino.
This casino is a Venetian and very large, with more than 500 tables sitting in the gaming hall, such as throwing sieves, slot machines, betting, Texas Hold'em, Western roulette, cards and so on.
These Xie Xiaoke have played in QQ games before, and they came here today just to have fun, and they don't want to win or lose money, so they don't waste points to buy gambling potions in the system mall.
When I had dinner before, Xie Xiaoke opened the system mall and found a medicine called "Gambling is a little clear", which requires 600,000 points, which can ensure that he will not be cheated in the casino to the greatest extent, but he cannot guarantee that his luck has been very good, and winning or losing depends on the destiny of heaven.
But most of them come here to win money, take shortcuts, want to get rich overnight, marry Bai Fumei, and go to the peak of life.
Wang Xiaochen looked at the wallet, there was only more than 3,000 yuan left, and asked, "That's all, it doesn't seem to be enough, can I swipe the card here?"
"I should be able to, I'll ask!"
Xie Xiaoke finally consulted the staff, went to the account room and swiped the card to exchange for 500,000 chips.
There are very few locals here, there are many people from the mainland and from abroad, some people are walking when they win, some are still wanting to win after winning, everyone's eyes show greed for money, and few people who have no desire and are down-to-earth come here!
Xie Xiaoke finally took 500,000 chips to play for almost 3 hours, nearly 10 kinds of gambling items, large and small, in order not to attract attention, he gambled very cautiously every time, and finally won 50,000 yuan.
"Points 50000"
Unexpectedly, this can also earn points, which is really in response to the principle of novice protection.
When he finally left, Xie Xiaoke swiped all the chips into the bank card, because most of the people who came out of the mainland did not have the habit of carrying cash, which was not only inconvenient, but also unsafe.
The staff said respectfully, "Thank you for coming, please walk slowly." ”
"How's it going?" asked Wang Xiaochen after walking out of the casino.
"Winning 50,000 yuan is already considered lucky!" Xie Xiaoke said with a smile and showed off his bank card.
Wang Xiaochen hugged Xie Xiaoke's arm, a little unable to keep up with the speed, and trotted all the way: "It's amazing, you won money in the first gamble, oops, you go slower, you're going to die!"
Although Xie Xiaoke can play mahjong at the age of six, fight the landlord at the age of seven, and touch the mahjong points with his hands at the age of eight, but it is all gambling one piece or two, according to the provisions of the Basic Law, it is simply not enough to meet the conditions for gambling.
......
After staying in Macau for more than ten days, there are still many attractions that they have not played, and after they returned to the hotel in the evening, they searched for more famous attractions on the Internet.
The closest to them was the Macau Tower, and they decided to experience it once before returning to Shencheng for the last time.
He dared to let Xie Xiaoke play paragliding, but it was really a bit challenging to play bungee jumping, although he knew in his heart that it was safe, but he still didn't dare to jump down.
If a person can't pass the hurdle psychologically, forcing him to jump will also be physically harmful.
But it doesn't matter, you can use the potions in the system mall to improve your guts, bungee jumping is actually just a little bolder.
Xie Xiaoke found a potion to increase people's guts in the system mall - "bold elixir", and it is not very expensive, 10,000 points, he bought five, and the price did not rise, so he made an online reservation for tickets to Macau Tower 2 days later, two adult tickets, 360-degree revolving restaurant buffet lunch, telescopes, air walk, 1 bungee jump for Xie Xiaoke, 1 high flying jump for Wang Xiaochen.
"The tickets are bought, let's go the day after tomorrow!"
"I don't dare to jump!"
"It's okay, look at that high-flying jump isn't very scary, it's slowly sliding down from above!"
Wang Xiaochen is not confident in his guts, so he searched for a lot of videos in Baidu to preview them in advance and improve his guts.
And Xie Xiaoke took the opportunity to buy a few more daring elixirs on the side.
Because people's guts will increase with social experience, age, etc., this medicine is just a short period of time to improve people's guts, so it is not so magical, and the price is not very expensive.
After buying 30 "bold elixirs", Xie Xiaoke deliberately went to the bathroom and threw the towel into the toilet, and then found an excuse to go down and ask the front desk for a towel, and took the opportunity to go out to get the courier.
The courier came to the gate, and the security guard said that he was not allowed to enter because he was not neatly dressed, so Xie Xiaoke could only go out to sign for it.
Because I bought more this time, the package is relatively large, and it is strange to be satisfied to hold it in my hand.
Xie Xiaoke didn't enter the hotel immediately with the package, but opened it outside the door, and then directly ate all the things inside.
At the same time, there is an extra item of guts on the system's personal attribute interface.
"Guts: 92"
Taking medicine this time was completely different from before, Xie Xiaoke had a netherworld aura entwined in his mind, and the muscles of his body had also undergone drastic changes, and his courage had increased, and he couldn't see anything from the appearance of his body at all, only he could feel it in his own heart.
This kind of mysterious feeling is refreshing, Xie Xiaoke feels that he is now alone in a cemetery full of bones, holding a tablet, turning on the volume to the maximum, and watching "Midnight Bell", "Powerful Ghost Will Show", "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", "The Exorcist", "Ghost Shadow", "Ghost Tram", ...... The face is not red and the heart is not beating, and she can still laugh when she sees Sadako.
Bungee jumping, skydiving, deep-sea diving, and tomb exploration are not a problem at all, but if you are physically tough, parkour on the top of a building in downtown Hong Kong is like playing at home.
After returning to the room, Wang Xiaochen was still watching the video, he was afraid before because he didn't understand, but after watching too much, he was not so afraid.
High flying jump and bungee jumping are two concepts, the latter is completely free fall and then can bounce back, while the former is landing at a constant speed and then falling directly to the ground, without the process of bounce, so the terror index drops by 50%.
Two days later, the two took a taxi to Macau Tower.
The height of the Macau Tower is as high as more than 300 meters, looking down from the top of the tower, you will feel that the underground buildings are so small in your eyes when you look at the whole Macau, all the rooms are as dense as ants, it is also the world's top ten free-standing sightseeing towers, and it is also a little famous in the world, so people who travel to Macau will want to come here to enjoy the scenery here even if they are afraid of heights.
There are also many people who love extreme sports who come here in search of thrills, not only to eat the food, not only to see the scenery, but also to experience what it is like to jump from a height of more than 300 meters.
After reaching the top of the tower, there was a lot of screaming around.
There is a queue to experience bungee jumping and skywalking, just like when I was in elementary school, I queued up for vaccination, the people in front cried, and the people in the back gloated.
I saw a foreign young woman, fastened her seat belt, was pushed down, and immediately made a rooster crow.
The other tourists around were also infected by this sound and shouted along.
Then some people can't make a sound, although they are more scared than those who scream, but on the surface they are very calm, calm others think that she is not afraid at all, there is no wave.
After filming for almost an hour, it was finally Wang Xiaochen.
She stood on it, and the staff gave her a seat belt or something, and the person next to her asked, "Beauty, is it the first time?"
Wang Xiaochen replied in a trembling voice: "Yes..."
"Are you scared?"
"Afraid, hehehe, it's not me who blows, I'm standing on it now, I can faint in fright!" Wang Xiaochen has a very good mentality, and he can still come out at the moment of death, Xie Xiaoke is relieved.
At this time, the other passengers around were still teasing: "It's good to be dizzy, I'll pick you up below, beauty!"
"You want to be beautiful!" 8)
