Dinner is the best of the three meals a day.

After a tiring day, dragging your tired body to sit at the dining table is the reward of the day.

It is also the most exclusive time of the day.

Pick up the noodles with chopsticks.

Knives and forks pluck the beef.

In the sound of sucking and cutting, there will be the sound of swallowing soup.

Comfortable.

It makes people unconsciously want this time to be longer.

So, the late-night snack appeared.

It just got tastier.

It's not just the food itself, it's a sign that you have more free time at your disposal.

Therefore, even a bowl of instant noodles was delicious at that time.

Of course, it would be better if you added an egg, a ham, and dried flowers.

If the dried flowers are marinated, the taste will be even better.

The cumin-flavored ones are also recommended, but when you soak the soup with instant noodles and soak it, the cumin is incorporated into the instant noodle soup, and when the dried tofu becomes soft and glutinous, it will have the taste of eating meat.

Very comfortable.

But the most comfortable thing is: extra meals.

Snacks after dinner and supper.

It's not a 'charcoal in the snow' in the traditional sense, it's more like a 'icing on the cake', but only those who have really understood it understand the importance of 'extra meals'.

That is not only a 'charcoal in the snow', but also a 'icing on the cake'.

The slightly hungry stomach is satisfied again, which is a charcoal in the snow.

And the food I ate before was tasted in a full burp, which became the icing on the cake.

It allows the two to coexist.

Let the two not separate from each other.

It's a very good mood.

Jason is like that at the moment.

He parked the car, took the two boxes of compensation from the 'Street of Memories', and walked briskly towards the 'fortress', pausing slightly every few steps, and casting the [Keyafa Seal].

It's not a bondage trap, it's a vigilance trap.

There is enough security around the 'fort'.

John, Brian, and McCall have enough surveillance probes in place.

But that doesn't stop Jason from setting up a little more.

As one of the residents of the 'fortress', he thought this was what he should do.

At this moment, the moon has long passed the highest point in the night sky.

Under the bright moonlight, the [Kyaffa Seal] appeared silently everywhere in the 'fortress'.

It only lasts 5 hours, but that's enough.

"It would be nice to have a few good hounds."

After casually casting the [Kyafa Seal] and placing it in a remote place on the side of the 'fortress', Jason couldn't help but think.

A good hunting dog is much more reliable than a human.

Especially at night, that kind of reliability even surpasses that of the machine.

Walked lightly into the 'fortress' and waved at John, who was on duty at night.

"John."

Jason beckoned.

"Everything works."

John, who was standing in the shadows, replied.

Daisy, who was prostrate at John's feet, shrunk her head and hid her body as much as possible

Jason smiled and headed for the basement room.

Not only all kinds of machines, but also manual night duty is also necessary.

This is the habit of John, Brian, and McCall.

Every night, the three of them are assigned according to their shifts.

Jason didn't have any objection to that.

He wouldn't even mind joining in if he could.

Not tonight, though.

Walking into his room, Jason locked the door and raised his hand again with a [Keyafa Seal].

He hung his coat on the hanger behind the door and walked straight to his desk.

Although he lives in a small suite, there is no independent dining room that can put two servings of 'food' in his hand.

Therefore, the desk in the study room has become the best choice.

After putting the two servings of 'food' away, Jason almost couldn't wait to open the box.

Jason had already inspected the box more than once before, and he could confirm that there was nothing wrong with it.

And as the box opened, the 'food' inside also revealed its original face.

One is the ring.

One is the button.

The ring has the special of this world a hundred years ago, the silver setting is simple, but the ruby is extremely dazzling, in the light, shimmering with a touch of streamer fire.

The buttons are made of gold, smooth on the front, but intricate on the back.

"The Flame Ring can continuously shoot high-temperature flames, or shoot 10 fireballs in a row, and when the gem's brilliance disappears, you need to replace the gem and recharge."

"Force field buttons, in case of danger, create a force field that can resist three explosions, cannot be charged, and after three times, it will be directly damaged."

Next to the two servings of 'food', there is a detailed description of the 'food' itself and a pictorial statement of activation.

It can be seen that the 'Street of Memories' is carefully matched.

One offense and one defense, closely coordinated, is a pretty good combination.

For Jason, though, it's just food.

Flame?

Jason's expert-level [Charles Incendiary Technique] is enough to do everything.

And defense?

Jason's successive fusions and upgrades of the Body Forging Technique have already made him reach the level of defense at the chariot level, although the weak position still exists, and he is not immune to fatal vital points, but it is much stronger than the [Force Field Button].

So, now Jason is paying more attention to ......

Flavor!

He picked up the Flame Ring first.

The ruby has a creamy and sweet taste, a bit like a red velvet cake, while the setting is crispy and delicious, full of cashew nuts.

The taste of "Stand Buttons" is much simpler.

Chocolate!

It's the kind of dark chocolate that reaches at least 75%.

Bitter, mellow.

But it's not hard to swallow.

The mellow fragrance filled his mouth, and Jason's eyes narrowed slightly.

The words are constantly beating-

Devour the Flame Ring! 】

[Stamina, energy, and injuries have been greatly recovered!] 】

Satiety +18

[Satiety: 85]

……

[Devour the force field button! ] 】

[Stamina, energy, and injuries have been greatly recovered!] 】

Satiety +22

[Satiety: 107]

……

Satiety is over 100 again.

This made Jason breathe a sigh of relief.

Although 35.6 lives did not completely reassure Jason, who was used to having 100 lives, it was also much higher than before, at least, he now has a lot more options.

"After that, it's time to see the release of the new book!"

Jason thought silently in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little excited.

As a writer, this is the first time he has released a new book.

Will there be new bookmarks?

Will there be a press conference?

Jason thought as he picked up the blanket and covered it over his body, leaning back in his chair and pretending to sleep.

Why not go to the waterbed?

The bed, too cozy.

In the event of any emergency, the person who wakes up in bed will hesitate.

Jason is no exception.

And the chair will not!

With Jason's physique, which is more than 5 times more than the average person, the chair is really a pretty good choice.

The moon sets, the sun rises.

At dawn, the unlocking of the [Sword of Dawn] power in Jason's body made him wake up instantly.

Standing up and moving, Jason waited quietly.

It didn't take long for the phone to ring.

Jingle bells!

After the phone rang twice, Jason picked it up.

"Hey, Jason?"

"Well, it's me!"

After the voice of editor Laven came from the earpiece, Jason replied in the affirmative.

"Today is the day of your new book launch, and all channels have already stocked in advance......"

Speaking of which, the editor's voice paused, and then continued: "Did you do something in Cherry City?" That's almost as much demand there as the rest of the world! ”

Has the 'propaganda' worked?

Jason thought to himself, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

At this time, Jason was truly relieved.

Jason, who can treat everything calmly, is really bottomless in his heart this time.

This is not a battle in the true sense of the word, let alone facing an enemy, but a 'fusion mission' that involves all aspects: in 120 days, at least 100,000 new books will be sold (it must be voluntarily purchased by others, and only one copy per person).

Such a mission informed Jason what he should do.

It's not just about having a 'new book'.

Positive prestige is also needed.

After all, these are universal values for ordinary people.

Ordinary people are what he needs to care about.

It is also the key to the completion of the task.

Luckily, he was lucky.

The current situation is really good for him.

Of course, he didn't mind being any better.

"Will there be any new book signings for Lavin?"

Jason asked.

"New book signings?"

"Jason, what are you thinking?"

"You're a third-rate writer who is almost out of breath, how can you have a new book signing?"

"Don't think about it!"

"Although your book is well written, it's too early to sign it!"

"Only truly first-rate writers are likely to be treated like this."

The editor's voice involuntarily rose a few centimeters.

Then, after admonishing Jason a few more words, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Through the earpiece, Jason could clearly hear the busy sound of the editorial office over there.

He can't be the only one in the entire editorial department, and countless books together have created such a busy scene.

As for staying up all night?

Regular operation.

If there is no signing, there is no signing.

Mission first!

Putting down the phone, Jason sighed and turned to walk towards the hall on the ground.

"Morning, Jason."

"Breakfast was sandwiches and milk."

"Your share is there."

Brian, who was chef again, pointed to the 20 sandwiches on a plate not far away.

"Thanks, Brian."

Jason smiled and sat down on the side of the table with his plate.

Soon, John and McCall were all present in the restaurant.

And two girls?

It seems that the biological clock is completely different from that of the four people, and it takes about 10 o'clock under normal conditions, and a little later, it takes about 12-13 o'clock at noon to wake up.

"Brian, you should get Kemi up early and get fit."

McCall picked up his breakfast and said this.

"This ......, you know, my relationship with Kemi has just eased."

Brian's old father smiled helplessly.

"Why don't you let Tyri get up early with Kemi?"

"The relationship between the two of them is very good, as long as one person acts, the other person will follow."

The middle-aged father asked McCall.

"Tyri?"

"She'll listen to what I say."

"However, I am a little afraid to say."

McCall immediately sighed.

"She treated me like a father."

"But ......"

"I was completely unprepared."

"I don't know if accepting Tyri will affect her."

"After all, my profession has made me a lot of enemies."

McCall also smiled wryly.

The two middle-aged men looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

John, on the side, stroked the top of Daisy's head, with a hint of a smile, and did not say anything.

For John, family is Daisy.

And communicating with Daisy doesn't have to be so troublesome at all.

If you are good to it, it will be good to you.

And people?

There's so much going on.

Even two extremely good people will have too many estrangements due to various misunderstandings.

As for being honest?

The greatest difficulty for human beings is to be honest.

Not embarrassed.

Nor is it selfish.

Rather, it is a habit of self-preservation.

Fear of being hurt.

Choices under apprehension.

It often backfires, but the next time something like this happens, people tend to choose it that way.

Of course, it is also possible to confess everything in a moment.

Everybody has that impulse.

People give that impulse an incomparably beautiful name: love.

It's not unchanging.

It changes over time.

It may turn into a family relationship.

It is also possible that it will become ...... Hate.

Hate because of love.

Therefore, people only have a momentary opportunity, and this moment is the only chance in a person's life.

Missed it.

That's really missing out.

Jason naturally didn't have such a deep feeling, for a person who loves food, unless it was in a steamed bun shop, a girl took the freshly bought steamed bun and handed it to him.

Otherwise, he will always think rationally.

Or think about more esoteric questions –

Is pork green onion delicious? Or is it better to have lamb turnips?

In fact, spicy beef can also be used.

If you have egg broth, be sure to add an extra egg.

Eating Brian's breakfast, Jason, like John, is not involved in Brian and McCall's conversation.

However, his eyes were in the direction of the hallway.

Kemi and Tyri showed up.

It's not in pajamas, it's formal wear, and it's like you're going to travel.

"Honey, morning!"

"Come, have breakfast!"

Brian looked at his daughter with a smile.

"No need, Daddy!"

"I'll just bring a sandwich!"

Kemi nodded at John, McCall, and Jason, then picked up two sandwiches and walked out as they ate.

"Where are you going? I'll send you! ”

Brian shouted.

"No, Dad."

"I'll drive with Tyri."

With such words, Kemi and Tyri trotted out.

The four men in the room looked at each other, completely unaware of what the two girls were going to do.

At the same time, Cortana also left the base quickly.

In the 'food and wine pavilion', the wave wheel, which had not slept all night and studied all night, woke Emily awake, and the two of them quickly washed up.

In the 'Unyielding Copper', a group of muscular men left the camp in a neat queue under the leadership of the old instructor.

Many members of the 'Golden Wind' also gathered in the streets.

Members of the 'Street of Memories' dressed in old costumes also mingle with it.

And these people are all heading towards a place in Cherry City.

There it is—

Bookshop!
