Chapter 16: Fooling Around
The public cafeteria is a two-story red brick building, which is more than 100 meters away from the residential area. When Yue Zheng came out, the chimney on the roof of the cafeteria was smoking, and there were scattered people on the surrounding bluestone path who were also walking in the direction of the cafeteria.
Following these people into the canteen, what greeted him was a mixture of various foods, Yue Zheng swept his eyes, and found that the canteen was divided into two floors, and most of the more than ten long tables in the hall on the first floor were already full, and there were all kinds of people eating, in addition to the personnel wearing administrative and logistics uniforms, they were fighters wearing unique demon extermination uniforms, among these people were men and women, most of them were powerful and powerful, and their temperament was fierce.
Casually glanced at it, all kinds of aromas hooked the gluttonous insects in the stomach, Yue Zheng went straight to the dining table, and saw that in addition to seven or eight kinds of fragrant and good-looking large pot dishes and soup porridge and rice, what was more conspicuous was the large and large pieces of stewed meat piled up like a hill in two large dinner basins.
Demon slayers who practice breathing not only eat a lot of food, but their body's nutrient intake needs are far higher than those of ordinary people, and it is obvious that these mountains of meat are mainly prepared for them, which also fully demonstrates the generosity of the welfare conditions of demon slayers.
After all, for the general public in this world, having meat for a meal is definitely a very luxurious life, especially for a group like the Demon Slayer who consumes a lot and eats a lot, if he is responsible for the cost of eating, it is definitely not a small amount.
"Take your pick. ”
Yue Zheng, whose eyes were glowing green, had just come to the dining table and had not yet spoken, and the chef who delivered the meal was very skillful and handed over a large plate, and Yue Zheng was also unceremonious, and immediately asked for five taels of rice, two large pieces of stew, a bowl of broth, and a plate of stew.
With a full pile of dinner plates, Yue Zheng turned around and was about to find a place, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure beckoning to him at a table on the left:
"Yue Zheng, this way!"
It was Xu Liang, who had only taken him through the formalities in the morning, and in addition, there was also Deputy Lieutenant Hu, who Yue Zheng was relatively familiar with, and several other demon slayers who had never seen him sitting at the same table and eating.
"Xu Liang, Deputy Lieutenant Tiger. ”
Coming to the edge of this table, Yue Zheng said hello and sat down silently, and Deputy Lieutenant Lianghu, who had already eaten about the same, waved his hand casually:
"Yue Zheng, you don't have to be so angry, you can call me Brother Tiger or the captain. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the other people present: "The people at this table are all members of our Eastern Brigade, these are Song Ming, A Dong, Tie Shan, Xiao Fu, and Lei Zi. After you finish a month of special training, everyone will be comrades-in-arms fighting side by side, and we will introduce you carefully when everyone is ready. ”
With Liang Hu's introduction, the other team members present looked at Yue Zheng with curiosity or scrutiny, especially the position where his eyebrows were covered by his forehead, obviously knowing his special deeds.
"I'm Yue Zheng, hello. ”
After a quick glance at these future teammates, Yue Zheng found that most of the epaulettes on their uniforms were the same as his own, and they seemed to be the demon slayers of the reserves.
He suddenly thought of escorting his ghost tooth with Xu Liang that day, and couldn't help asking, "Captain, is the ghost tooth also from our team?"
"That's right. But this kid doesn't usually eat in the cafeteria. ”
Lianghu shook his head and said:
"Okay, you don't have to be restrained, eat first. ”
Don't come to the cafeteria to eat...... Is it because you don't want people to see your abnormal mouth?
Yue Zheng's thoughts twirled, and he felt a trace of sympathy.
But sympathy was only a matter of moments, and he could no longer bear the hunger pangs all over his body, and immediately grabbed a large piece of stew on the plate, tore off a large piece in the juice, chewed and swallowed it in one go, and swallowed this large piece of stew in a few strokes.
Like a hungry wolf that had been hungry for a long time, Yue Zheng's mouth did not stop for a moment, destroying the food in front of him like a whirlwind, and the big bowl of tired white rice also decreased at an alarming rate.
I have to say that the food in the Demon Removal Hall is very good, and the portion is also very sufficient, especially the bowl of limited-supply broth, which is also mixed with many Chinese medicinal materials such as mountain ginseng and astragalus.
However, at this moment, Yue Zheng's appearance of eating and drinking, and the reincarnation of a starving ghost was too amazing, and the other people at the table suddenly looked strange when they looked at this scene.
Lianghu was a little speechless and said, "Yue Zheng, are you a starving ghost reincarnated, you haven't eaten for a few days?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
At this moment, a lot of things were in his stomach, Yue Zheng was already relieved, he slowed down his eating, and snorted at everyone's strange eyes:
"Actually, it's because I got two secret books today, and when I was in the dormitory, I couldn't help but try to practice for a while, but the physical exertion was a bit big. ”
"Already trying to practice the Secret Book?"
Liang Hu nodded slightly, then thought of something, and asked:
"I heard Xu Liang say, you have received the two secret books of "Iron Body Gong" and "Sky Splitting Knife", right?
Here it comes!
Referring to this question, Yue Zheng put down the clean soup bowl he drank and replied vaguely:
"I've been practicing the Intermediate Breathing Method for a while. ”
Xu Liang on the side was suddenly a little surprised:
"You have already started to practice the intermediate breathing method? You are in the night patrol, we always thought that you only had the breathing method one stage, since you have reached the second stage at your age, why did you stay in the night patrol team and not come to our demon slaying hall?"
Although the three basic stages of the breathing method are in a state of public circulation, most ordinary people do not have the time, energy, and conditions to practice deeply, so there are very few people who can cultivate internal breath and reach a certain level.
For example, the recruitment criteria of the Night Patrol are that as long as you have a little foundation in the breathing method, you have a high chance of being selected, and those who practice internal breath are already elites, and rare people like the second stage of the breathing method are already considered to be condescending talents who stay at the bottom of the night patrol, and they can completely apply for the demon killer and pursue a more ambitious future.
Of course, reaching the second stage of the breathing method is only one of the recruitment criteria of the Demon Removal Hall, and their other criteria are young people under the age of twenty-five, with more potential and cultivation value, so as to keep the entire Demon Eradication Organization thriving.
"Actually, it didn't take long for me to reach the second stage of breathing, and because I didn't have anyone to guide me, I wasn't sure at first. ”
Yue Zheng, who had already thought about how to answer, dealt with it quietly:
"Originally, I thought that after a period of time and I was more sure, I would come to the Demon Slayer Hall to sign up for the Demon Slayer, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing two days ago. ”
"My family background is ordinary, there is no one to guide me, and I have found the second stage of the breathing method on my own......"
The eyes of the lieutenant Lianghu were both surprised and appreciative, and he didn't suspect anything at all:
"It seems that it is not entirely a fluke that you can carry it that night, I was worried about whether you could complete a month of special training, but now it seems that I am too worried, you kid, very good, I am optimistic about you!"
That's it.
Seeing that Lianghu did not mean to get to the bottom of it, Yue Zheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In just a few days, he used the auxiliary panel to upgrade directly, and the breathing method improved too quickly. Although in the case of non-full strength, there is nothing to see from the appearance of a person's cultivation level, but it is always a big trouble for Yue Zheng.
And now with this layer of foreshadowing, at least he doesn't have to worry about the exposure of the breathing realm for a short time.
