Chapter 7: Finding the Northern Lights

The enthusiastic waitress of the restaurant brings the steaming lobster bisque to the table. Then he asked Shen Bai seriously, "Sir, excuse me, this is the lobster soup you ordered, please use it slowly." Are the bluefin tuna sashimi and oyster sashimi you just ate to your liking?"

"Well, pretty good. Shen Bai said, nodding. He actually wanted to say that it was really delicious, but considering the image of the Chinese people and his personal reserve, he couldn't be so unseen in the world.

"Very well, sir, please slow down. The waitress smiled at Shen Bai as she spoke, and then helped him refill the red wine in his glass.

Lobster bisque is also one of Iceland's specialities. The steaming scent, the attractive color, and the delicious taste will definitely make people linger.

Shen Bai picked up the soup spoon and filled himself lobster soup and lobster meat. Then I put it to my mouth and blew it twice, and then put it in my mouth.

The moment the soup entered, a rich fragrance instantly filled his mouth and tongue. The meat of the lobster is very chewy, and it is wrapped in a delicious soup, which makes Shen Bai feel satisfied and happy every time he chews it. The taste and texture can no longer be described as delicious, but a kind of enjoyment.

……

After tasting the restaurant's delicacies, Shen Bai directly took out his wallet and settled the night's expenses. At the same time, he also looked at his phone and found that it was only before 8 o'clock, and there were still about two hours before the sun set in Iceland. If you want to look for the Northern Lights, you have to wait at least after 12 p.m.

Considering some personal safety issues, Shen Bai would not run alone to the suburbs in the middle of the night. Instead, be prepared to stay in the hotel and look at the night sky from time to time. Iceland is the only country in the world where you can see the Northern Lights. In other words, anywhere in the country, you can have the opportunity to see the Northern Lights.

"Sir, do I need to rebox the wine for you?" After settling the bill, the waitress pointed to the unfinished red wine on the table and motioned for the restaurant to pack it for free.

"Well, okay, thank you!" Although it was not his own money that was spent, Shen Bai would not commit such a shameful act of wasting it.

So 5 minutes later, he was full of wine and food, and returned to the hotel with the packaged red wine. Prepare to wait for the late night to drink red wine while waiting for the Northern Lights to appear.

However...... Unlike what Shen Bai had imagined, the first night in Iceland was covered with clouds. Not to mention the Northern Lights, even the stars can't be seen.

Originally, this night time was very scarce, and there were not as many opportunities as in winter. Now the clouds are covered, so Shen Bai can't stay until late at night, so he has to take a shower and go to sleep.

The next morning, Shen Bai, who had slept until he woke up naturally, stretched a comfortable waist on the bed. Then get up and open the curtains. Suddenly, the rainy Icelandic weather in front of me, the wet city, made someone's expectation drop to freezing in an instant.

The rain lasted all afternoon, and finally stopped for a while in the evening. But then it went down again.

At first, Shen Bai didn't care about this, anyway, there was still plenty of time, it was raining today, so wait for tomorrow, and by the way, taste the Icelandic food that he hadn't eaten again.

But this kind of ghost weather lasted for five or six days at once. And it's not going to be sunny yet. Shen Bai leaned on the head of the bed, looking at the gloomy scenery outside, and his mood couldn't help but become depressed at this time. Transportation in Iceland is not like at home, and taxis are hardly visible outside the capital. Therefore, it is impossible for Shen Bai to go to other places, otherwise it will be difficult to come back.

Originally, he wanted to complete the Northern Lights mission and create it with the inspiration of the game's rewards. Then go leisurely to other attractions to play, go around, and then return home.

And now, the laptop in the suitcase has almost no use other than Internet access. And as time goes by, the days in May, June and July in Iceland are longer and the nights are shorter, and the chances of seeing the Northern Lights are even lower.

Shen Bai boredly flipped through the photos of the Northern Lights on the Internet, many of which were taken by tourists who came to Iceland. Look at the smile in the photo, and the aurora borealis that is so green that it makes people feel tight. Shen Bai counted the number of days he had been in Iceland, and it had been almost two weeks in the blink of an eye.

The habit of reversing day and night makes Shen Bai's dark circles more intense. The mental state also doesn't seem to be very good. The table in the room is piled up with all kinds of snacks and snacks bought from the supermarket. These are sometimes Shen Bai's breakfast or lunch.

He's tired of Reykjavík's authentic food. European food, it's okay to eat occasionally. But if you want to eat it all the time, you will definitely have an uncomfortable appetite.

At this moment, in Shen Bai's eyes, it is not an exaggeration to say that a bowl of Master Kong's instant noodles and ham sausage is more tempting than any salmon sashimi and pan-fried lamb chops. Not to mention some of the traditional delicacies and local snacks in his own country, the thought of it will make his mouth water. I can't wait to fly back to China now......

It is obviously a tall overseas travel, once it is made into a life and habitualized, Rao will slack off and lose his initial enthusiasm and focus.

Look at the weather, which is sometimes good and bad outside, and the scruffy self in the mirror. Shen Bai suddenly felt that such a situation was not what he had imagined before he went abroad.

He couldn't help but wash his face with cold water, and then patted his hands to cheer up. It will definitely not work if it goes on like this, and the decadent youth of Europe will not be able to learn.

"It's really not good, why don't you go to the car rental company to rent an off-road vehicle and try to walk around outside at night first?" Shen Bai couldn't help but think of this method, renting a car can solve the problem of inconvenient transportation. And in terms of security, there is a certain guarantee. As long as you don't go too far, there is generally no problem.

So as soon as he thought of it, Shen Bai immediately took the relevant materials and went to a nearby car rental company to rent a pure black Jeep car.

Although Shen Bai has driving experience, the steering wheel of Icelandic vehicles is on the right. This made him very unaccustomed to starting the car. I always feel like I'm going to bump into the side when I'm open, and I'm scared.

But fortunately, human adaptability is very strong. And there are very few cars on the roads in Iceland. After almost half an hour of driving, Shen Bai began to taste the joy of driving a car. The scenery along the way also becomes vivid at this moment.

That night, Shen Bai drove a rented off-road vehicle, followed the navigation, and circled around Reykjavik for half a circle. Although the Northern Lights tonight, they still did not appear.

But for Shen Bai, at least he found a new pleasure. Traveling by car in an exotic country in search of the Northern Lights is also an experience like never before.
