Vol.2 Entrance Examinations Chapter 12 (2)
"You're here!" As soon as he entered the door, Han Shihao greeted him and gave him a strong hug.
"Tap Brother Zhu, I'm recovering from a serious illness. Yang Haohui felt that he was almost killed by Han Shihao's chest muscles, and helplessly nudged him, "If you use a little more force, I will only have to eat this meal in heaven." β
Han Shihao scratched his head embarrassedly and led Yang Haohui and Lan Borou in.
The heat wafted over, this meal was actually a hot pot, or a very authentic copper pot, it seems that the delicious food recipe will be found no matter which world it is, as an old Beijinger Yang Haohui is very kind.
It's just that he doesn't know whether to sit down now, and a "war" is being fought at the dinner table.
The dining table was a mess, and the copper pot was filled with empty plates of all sizes, and only a few scraps of meat were left in it. At both ends of the table, Feng Haogeng and Ye Ruohua each stepped on a chair, chewing something in their mouths, and their eyes stared at the last piece of meat churning in the hot pot without letting go. It seemed that the two of them were very focused, and they didn't notice that Yang Haohui was coming.
"What are they doing?" Yang Haohui asked in a low voice.
"Grab the meat and eat it. The corners of Han Shihao's forehead exploded slightly, obviously angry, "Two starving ghosts were reincarnated." β
"You just give up, Ye Ruohua. Feng Haogeng swallowed the "loot" he had snatched from his mouth fiercely, "Uncle Ben is an air elementalist, and his speed must be faster than yours, and the last piece of meat is definitely Uncle Ben's." β
Ye Ruohua was also so angry that she hurriedly swallowed the meat in her mouth, and bared her teeth at Feng Haogeng: "Then you will rob it! Grab something with a girl, is there a bit of a gentleman's demeanor? Tomorrow, this girl will send this matter to the Dream Soul Academy, you can't think about it, Feng Xiaobao!" She specially called Feng Haogeng's nickname loudly.
There were not a few students who came for supper, and many of them cast curious glances. Especially when the nickname came out, many people were amused. Others don't know that this is a nickname, and they all think it is Feng Haogeng's real name. With the same dress as a second-rate son of Feng Haogeng with such a cute name, it is really joyful.
"You mother-in-law deserves to be flat-chested!" Feng Haogeng's face was burned by the eyes around him, and he returned the mouth viciously.
This sentence is really a direct enough knife for every girl, even a girl from the Senjing clan with extraordinary beauty.
Ye Ruohua was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked down, and then her pointed ears suddenly stood up, and she raised her head as if she was fighting against some facts: "I'm obviously not small, but I'm still developing!"
"Yo yo yo, poke someone's sore spot. Feng Haogeng smiled weirdly, "It's obviously a chopping board." β
"No!" Ye Ruohua's pair of long ears swung more intensely.
"What's so great about big breasts, she bullies people, woo woo. Feng Haogeng learned from Ye Ruohua's tone when she saw Yeyin, and twisted her body awkwardly.
"Feng Xiaobao!"
Seeing that the battle situation was about to change from snatching food to hand-to-hand combat, the third pair of chopsticks quickly took away the last piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it into minced meat.
"You two ......." Han Shihao smiled angrily, "I said I'll eat it when Yang Haohui comes, how did you eat twenty plates of meat in one minute!"
In this way, Han Shihao reluctantly ordered the previous menu again. The two who made the mistake sat obediently in their places, holding their knees with their hands, and did not dare to say a word. Until the meat plate was served, Ye Ruohua was fine, and immediately began to feast. But Feng Hao was hindered by Han Shihao's obscenity, and he never dared to touch the chopsticks. It was Yang Haohui who persuaded him with good words, and Feng Haogeng was able to return to the dinner table.
This meal was very happy, and Yang Haohui was no exception. He sat in the corner of the table, sliced the meat until it turned white, dipped it on the dipping sauce and chewed quietly. The difference is that the Tianyuan Realm does not use sesame paste as an ingredient, but a sauce similar to the color of leek flowers, which is ground from different beans. Not sticky, but salty. The meat doesn't taste like lamb either, with more fat and more tender lean parts. After asking Han Shihao, I found out that this was a slice of beef and camel meat. Yang Haohui sighed that the principal of the Dream Soul Academy probably liked this animal very much, and the practices were really endless.
Although Yang Haohui is not familiar with the raw materials, it does not prevent him from eating very fragrantly, and the hot pot in the Tianyuan Realm has its unique flavor. Hot pot is a delicacy that he rarely tasted in the original world, and he can eat it in winter in his memory, when Boss Zhou is in a good mood and takes his subordinates to the restaurant, he can rub two bites, and most of the time he still uses instant noodles to satisfy his stomach. This delicious meal is not easy to come by, and Yang Haohui cherishes it.
"That, that, Yang Haohui. Lan Borou's voice came softly from the side.
"Huh?"
"Y-What do you like to eat?" said Lan Borou's voice was small, she wasn't used to talking to people.
This question really stumped Yang Haohui, lowered his head and began to think about it. He didn't study the habit of eating, and most of his food in the early years was instant noodles.
"Ah, ah, it's okay, I'm just asking. As if he was afraid that Yang Haohui would be distressed by this problem, Lan Borou hurriedly waved his hand.
"Eggs, probably eggs. Yang Haohui said.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"Ah, no, no, it's just a feeling....... It's so simple. β
"yes. Yang Haohui sandwiched a piece of beef and camel meat, and put another piece on Lan Borou's plate, "Eggs are very nutritious, the method is simple, and they are cheap." β
Lan Borou sneered, "I feel like the last point is the most important. She took a small bite of the piece of meat in front of her, "Thank you." β
"It's okay, it's just a dish. β
"That's not it. Lan Borou frowned and smiled, as if she was annoyed that Yang Haohui didn't understand what she meant, "I mean, on the Yuan Dou Stage, if you didn't save me, I would definitely be ....... by Geng Yan."
"Oh, this. Yang Haohui showed a clear expression, "You don't have to thank me, there is a safety net under the Yuandoutai, and you won't be hurt if you are thrown down." I saved you because I needed your Yuanwu, otherwise I would have let him throw you down. It doesn't affect the outcome of the battle, and it also ensures that you won't be affected by the battle. β
Lan Borou listened to Yang Haohui's words in a daze, and her long ears hung down softly.
"What's wrong?" Yang Haohui was a little puzzled, he thought he was quite thoughtful.
"No, it's nothing. Lan Borou looked a little lost...... It seems to be a little angry.
"Hey, hey, hey. Yang Haohui suddenly heard someone yelling at him, he looked in the direction of the sound, Ye Ruohua was looking at him with a dissatisfied face.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Ruohua sighed and shook her index finger helplessly: "Really, it's not right for you to talk to a girl like this." β
"Did I say anything rude?" Yang Haohui asked.
"Yes, Xiao Rou obviously wants to thank you, look at what you said?" Ye Ruohua ate a piece of beef and camel meat again, and said vaguely, "How can you say such a thing as allowing that fool who uses fire to throw Xiao Rou down, how much it hurts people's hearts." β
"I said, it's not that I don't want to save Ramborou. It's just that it's an exam, there's no need, Geng Yan won't be a killer. And it's safer after throwing it off, no matter how Geng Yan and I fight, it won't affect her. If you don't need ripples, that's the best option. Yang Haohui was puzzled, so he could only repeat the words helplessly.
"Then you can't say that, have you changed all your EQ to IQ......." Ye Ruohua held her forehead with her hand.
"Really?" Yang Haohui fell into deep thought, and after a moment he looked at Lan Borou, "I'm sorry. β
"Ah, no, I'm not upset......." Lan Borou hurriedly waved his hand again.
"Xiao Rou. Ye Ruohua's face suddenly appeared with a cunning smile like a cat, "Someone's girl is heartbroken."
"Sister!" Lan Borou heard Ye Ruohua's teasing, she expressed her embarrassment in the loudest voice, and the tips of her long ears turned red.
"Speaking of the third exam. Han Shihao on the side interjected, and he stabbed Feng Haogeng who was next to him with his elbow, "Should someone say something?"
Feng Haogeng was eating comfortably, and he didn't realize that the topic had come to him all of a sudden. He looked up in confusion, his cheeks were full, like a hamster stealing food that had been discovered.
Han Shihao looked at Feng Haogeng with solemn eyes, and Feng Haogeng also understood what Han Shihao was talking about.
He was half-pushed by Han Shihao to stand up and walked in front of Yang Haohui.
"Gurgle. Feng Haogeng's throat made a muffled sound, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't speak. The sound of gritting teeth could be heard in his closed mouth, and he stared at Yang Haohui with a fierce gaze.
"I throw in the towel. Yang Haohui opened his mouth first.
"Huh?" Feng Haogeng was stunned by this thoughtless sentence.
"Aren't you trying to find fault and beat me?" Yang Haohui was also stunned, "I said that I can't beat you, I will directly admit defeat." β
"Damn!" Feng Hao was furious, "Who rarely beats you waste? Is Uncle Ben the kind of person who bullies the weak, don't look down on people if you are a waste! You trash, bed bugs, and scum! In the end, Uncle Ben will help you kill Geng Yan, but does Uncle Ben know?!"
"Forehead......" Yang Haohui was a little confused, "So what do you want to say?"
Feng Haogeng stagnated for a while, and began to grit his teeth again without speaking, and was silent for a long time, his face was red. After a while, he suddenly rubbed his skull ring vigorously, and the skull mouth flashed, and a square gift box slightly larger than the palm of his hand was thrown out. He grabbed the gift box and threw it in front of Yang Haohui, snorted, and returned to his seat to start eating.
"Explain. Han Shihao smiled bitterly, "This is Xiaobao's way of thanking, the younger brother is more shy, and I hope to forgive me." β
"No!!Uncle Ben just has this gift!" Feng Haogeng shouted with his nostrils.
"That's so polite....... Yang Haohui scratched his head, looked at the gift box in front of him, and tried to ask, "Can I open it and take a look?"
"Whatever you want, don't bother me!" Feng Haogeng waved his hand impatiently, turned his head and didn't look at Yang Haohui, but his head was not completely turned over, and one eye squinted at him, as if he was peeking at Yang Haohui's reaction when he opened the gift box.
The gift box was unexpectedly tightly wrapped, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and Yang Haohui opened the wrapping paper gift that finally revealed its true face - a bright silver ring.
"Wow! it's so beautiful!" Ye Ruohua's eyes lit up, and at the same time she smiled evilly, "In the rules of the human race, it seems that giving a ring is to confess, right?
"Roll it, roll it!" Feng Haogeng said seven rolling words in a row, almost squirting out the meat he was chewing in his mouth.
"This ring ......." Yang Haohui thought thoughtfully.
"If you dare to say you don't like it, I'll kill you. Feng Haogeng's gaze was pressing.
"It must be worth a lot of money. Yang Haohui picked up the second half of the sentence.
Feng Hao cultivates a black line.
Han Shihao smiled and said: "It's just a small thing in our hometown, this kind of ring is called 'Travel Ring', which is made of a special mineral called 'Nayan' in the Northern Metaverse. There is about 24 cubic meters of space in the ring, which is very convenient for loading things, you don't have to carry that bag anymore, just rub it when you use it. β
"Very useful, thank you very much. Yang Haohui nodded to Feng Haogeng.
Feng Haogeng buried his head in eating and no one paid attention to it.
"In that case, we Mori Jing can't lose. After Ye Ruohua finished speaking, she took out a pale yellow pancake from her luggage, and the surface of the pancake had a coating similar to caramel. She asked the waiter for a knife cut into five and distributed to everyone, along with a peach-shaped green leaf.
"Sister, are you willing to take this out?" Lan Borou was a little surprised.
"It's fun for everyone to eat together. Ye Ruohua squinted and smiled.
"Hmm, it's so fragrant!" Han Shihao exclaimed, "It's like roasted corn with melted cream!"
"No, this is a unique dessert of the Mori Jing people, 'Honey Fruit Cake', made with 'Chewing Grain Fruit' and 'Tessuri Honey'. We forest spirits also hunt and eat meat, but our main food is the fruit of trees. Ye Ruohua sandwiched the peach-heart-shaped leaf in the pancake and continued, "It's very expensive, converted into a unit of measurement for the human race, and it costs five gold coins for a piece. β
Everyone learned from Ye Ruohua to roll the peach heart leaf with a cake and took a bite of it. The pancake melts into a slightly viscous, sweet slurry that resembles honey in the first moment. But it doesn't stick to your teeth, but has a wonderful chewiness. The peach-heart-shaped leaves give off a subtle sourness in the mouth, which complements the unique sweetness of the pancakes.
"It's delicious!"
"Yes, the fruit dessert of our forest spirit clan is the best in the world!" Ye Ruohua, who had received unanimous praise, put on a pretended cold expression, but she couldn't help the corners of her smug mouth rose slightly.
"Having said that, our human race in the Northern Metaverse can't afford to lose. Han Shihao finished eating the "honey fruit cake" in three or two bites, and took out a necklace from his neckline, on which hung a skull ring of the same style as Feng Haogeng.
"Oooh. Feng Haogeng showed a wicked smile on his face, "Do you want to take out that Brother Zhu?"
"That's it. Han Shihao also laughed evilly, a rare indecency.
An urn the size of a small water tank was placed on the dining table, and there was a "coo-dong" liquid shaking sound, and Han Shihao pulled the huge bottle cork, and the strong aroma of alcohol came out, with a slight smell similar to lime.
"Wine?" Yang Haohui coughed as he choked on the smell of wine.
"The secret 'mineral wine' of the Northern Metaverse is made from many kinds of 'edible ores' in the cellar. Han Shihao explained as he filled a small glass for everyone, and the wine was crystal clear.
"Can you still eat ore?" Yang Haohui felt that there was another setting in the Tianyuan Realm to refresh his three views, and he couldn't help but think of the "Kunming Strange Stone Banquet" that he had seen in a book before.
"Of course, salt is actually a kind. There are mostly high mountains in the Northern Metaverse, with high altitude and low temperature, which is not conducive to rice cultivation, and 'edible minerals' are very important food candidates for everyone, and people there often use mineral wine to drive away the cold. Han Shihao smiled, "Of course, the stone is definitely not as delicious as the rice." β
"Hmmm, it tastes good. Ye Ruohua sniffed and couldn't help pinching her nose.
"Hahaha, you're scared of the chopping board? You haven't ever been to a bar?" Feng Haogeng raised his beautiful eyebrows, and drank the mineral wine in the wine glass as if he was provocative.
"Less, less look down on people! We Senjing have never known fear!" Ye Ruohua decisively hit the plan, raised her head and drank it all heroically.
"Wow, ahhh
"Wow, wow, sister, please drink water!"
Ye Ruohua hurriedly took the water cup handed over by Lan Borou, and poured three cups in a row to ease up.
"Hahahaha, I heard that the usual drinks of the Mori Elite are 'fruit brew', and they don't touch alcohol, so don't drink it so urgently. Han Shihao laughed heartily on the side.
"One glass is drunk, and the cutting board can't hold the wine bubbles." Feng Haogeng looked at Ye Ruohua with a look of a wine field senior, looking at the juniors.
"What...... Ah! I'm drunk!I'm drunk!" Ye Ruohua's face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and she said incoherent words in her mouth.
"I'll ask the waiter for some decanting medicine. Yang Haohui said.
"Eight uses, eight uses........ Ye Ruohua slurred to stop Yang Haohui, who wanted to get up, and suddenly stretched the wine glass forward, "You drink it too, the salt is so gray!"
Yang Haohui was stunned, Ye Ruohua pointed in an empty direction, the name was quite incomprehensible, he hesitated with the wine glass, I don't know if Ye Ruohua was talking about himself.
"I think my sister should be talking about you. Lan Borou took a sip of her wine and explained empathetically beside her.
"That's right, Yang Haohui, how can a man not drink?" Han Shihao coaxed to the side.
"Don't drink and look down on you. "Feng Hao cultivates the tone.
Yang Haohui covered his face silently, but instead of thinking that his kindness had become the target of the fire.
"I'm only 12 years old, so I'm not old enough to drink. He tried to refuse.
"They are all here to take the exam, who is not 12 years old?" Han Shihao drank another glass of mineral wine, and showed with his actions that this excuse for blocking wine was not valid, "At the age of 12, he has become an adult in the Tianyuan Realm!"
"I'm not! This girl is 121 years old!" Ye Ruohua finally smoothed her tongue and shouted loudly.
The Senjing clan has a lifespan far beyond that of the human race, and now Ye Ruohua's age is finally revealed.
Yang Haohui breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to sigh that this straightforward elf girl helped him block a shot. didn't think about it, Ye Ruohua immediately answered: "Convert, hiccup........ Convert the age of your human race, I'm only eleven years old this year!"
Yang Haohui covered his face again, he was naΓ―ve, Ye Ruohua stabbed him again immediately after blocking the gun. This feels like Zhao Zilong riding the savior alone, and finally took Adou out of the encirclement, Adou Zhengle....... As a result, Zhao Zilong stabbed Adou to death with a return of the rifle.
"So, drink!" Ye Ruohua raised her glass with a red face.
"Drink, drink, drink......."
The strength of the mineral wine came up, and everyone began to coax in unison, even Lan Borou, who had always been quiet, laughed and applauded to the beat. Seeing that he couldn't hide, Yang Haohui smiled bitterly and silently raised his head and drank half a cup.
The fiery red color spread on Yang Haohui's face at once, and his skin was so white that he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
"Is it okay?" asked Han Shihao.
"I'm dying. Yang Haohui told the truth, now he only feels that his left head is water, his right head is lime, and his head is full of cement.
Yang Haohui lowered his head and was silent, as if he was trying to sober up, and as if he was thinking about something. After a few moments, he reached through his backpack and handed out a roll of green leaves to each person.
"This is?" Han Shihao was a little curious.
"Mint rolls, I prepared for the motion sickness, there is only so much left. Yang Haohui said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to prepare a gift, I only have this....... Thank you for helping me block the ....... Attack, thank you for ........"
His words broke at this point, and Yang Haohui lowered his head again and stopped talking.
Lan Borou's long ears, which were closest to him, trembled, and he heard the sound of slight, steady breathing.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Han Shihao.
"Asleep. Lan Borou whispered, and she took out the hooded cloak that covered her face in her luggage and carefully draped it over Yang Haohui.
"Half a glass? He's weaker than a chopping board. "Feng Haogeng was a bit surprised.
"It's boring. Ye Ruohua pouted.
"The strength of the mineral wine has come up. Han Shihao smiled helplessly.
"Or maybe it....... He's so tired. Lan Borou whispered.
"Probably, it's clear that he is the lowest-ranking person in our team....... But he gave more than anyone else. Han Shihao said.
Everyone looked at the mint roll in their hands and fell silent for a while.
The four of them knew that this was a dinner party dedicated to thanking Yang Haohui, and it was also a ...... Casual meals.
In the third exam, Han Shihao's team was disqualified, and Geng Yan's team was successfully enrolled.
In other words, they lost.
It is an ironclad fact that Yang Haohui led the team to victory in the same way in the first blow group. But they lost not in battle, but in ....... Rules.
"Outsiders and other members of the team are not allowed to enter the stadium during the game time, and the violator will be deemed to have failed and will be disqualified" - there is such a clear rule in the rules. And just when Feng Haogeng was about to be killed by Geng Yan, who was out of control, Han Shihao rashly entered to save people and violated this rule.
Geng Yan successfully enrolled as a loser. And the five of them were eliminated as winners.
Absurd, unreasonable, yet helpless.
The atmosphere at the dinner table cooled down, and only the sound of bubbles bursting in the hot pot remained.
"I'm sorry guys. After a long time, Han Shihao broke the dullness, "Everyone is here to become a guard, but because of my impulse........ I'm not a good captain. He said no more, and threw his head back to drink the last drop of mineral wine in his glass.
Another wine glass slammed on the dining table, and the copper pot trembled.
"What's the matter, Yang Haohui is asleep. Lan Borou frowned dissatisfiedly, but fortunately Yang Haohui slept very deeply and was not woken up.
"Sorry, sorry, forgot. Feng Haogeng gritted his teeth, "I'm just angry." β
He turned his head to look at everyone, suddenly stood up, and bowed: "I'm sorry everyone, but I am still to blame for this matter in the end. It's my willfulness that disrupts the waste....... Disrupted Yang Haohui's battle plan. Otherwise, Brother Zhu didn't have to be forced to break the rules, and Yang Haohui didn't have to be forced to work hard in that way, blame me, I'm sorry!" After that, he sat down dejectedly and continued to eat silently.
"No one blames you. Ye Ruohua said indignantly, "If you want me to say it, it's shady! If it's because of breaking the rules, you can say it from the beginning!
"Okay, sister, take your breath. Lan Borou looked at Yang Haohui who was sleeping beside her, "He doesn't want to see us so depressed." β
After speaking, Lan Borou picked up the mint roll, put it in her mouth and chewed it gently: "This is his intention, let's eat it quickly." β
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all smiled heartily, and tacitly picked up the mint roll and ate it.
The taste is not bad, it is refreshing.
"Now, do you say that Yang Haohui understands what we mean?" Ye Ruohua asked.
"He must know, otherwise with his character, he wouldn't have come. Lan Borou smiled, "I won't be forced to drink that glass of wine, although he doesn't like to talk....... But he's a very gentle person. β
"yes. Han Shihao put a smile on his face again, "Eat and eat, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return!"
As soon as the words fell, the same sound suddenly sounded in everyone's pockets, and when everyone touched it, it was actually the certificate card used for the exam. The unsuccessful candidates will turn in when they leave the academy tomorrow, and the badges are still on them.
The proof card shows this sentence.
Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, gather at the Yeyin Palace.
To be continued......
