Act XX. I'm observing
Night.
On board the passenger liner Clios.
The students were obviously on this kind of transoceanic passenger ship, and most of them gathered on the deck to watch the sea at night.
Although Bai Ge also wanted to go to the deck to blow the sea breeze, for the sake of the character of a gentleman in the Pan-Western Sea, he could only stay in his place and pretend not to care much.
The style of food on board is very different from that of New Constan, and it is more seafood.
Yes, that's right, it's real seafood, seafood from the New Mediterranean!
Originally, the marine life on this planet has been basically extinct in the Great Collapse, and whales, dolphins, and sharks are all just images in history textbooks.
However, the humans of the old era have preserved a complete set of genetic sequences of marine organisms in the shelters, although many shelters have been destroyed and a lot of information has been scattered, but after the re-emergence of the new Mediterranean, the Pan Western Sea is still trying its best to restore the ecology here.
Today, there are tens of thousands of species in the New Mediterranean, from invisible microbes to swimming fish, and although large creatures such as whales have not been able to reappear due to the loss of their genetic sequences, it is a sea area that is thriving enough.
Farmed seafood is expensive, but it is also a new experience for the students.
Bai Ge took a bite of grilled squid, this gelatinous creature has a completely different aroma from barbecued meat after being charcoal-grilled, and the taste is also more tough, and when chewing, the spicy taste penetrates into the tip of the tongue, and the aftertaste is endless.
In addition, there are a variety of seafood based on marine life, such as crab, lobster, sardine salad, grilled flounder, and seafood risotto, which can be eaten at all.
The ship's dining room is connected to the deck, with half of the tables on the open-air deck and half indoors.
Bai Ge saw Ruan Qingqiu's special coconut juice here, and was chatting happily with the students, while Song Yufei and other girls stood on the side of the deck, shouting to the sea.
He sat alone at the table, the happiness was theirs, and Bai Ge had nothing.
As soon as he finished eating a huge lobster, Bai Ge felt that someone had come to his side.
"Mr. Yasen, aren't you going to blow the wind on deck?"
Ruan Qingqiu took the glass with translucent coconut juice and sat down next to Bai Ge's table.
The students she had chatted with had gone to the deck to admire the sea in the midst of the stars.
"I'm not interested."
Bai Ge said in a deep voice, casually glancing at the other tourists in the restaurant.
"There are so many people who go to the school city at this time."
Ruan Qingqiu noticed Bai Ge's movements, pursed his lips and smiled.
"Indeed."
Bai Ge responded.
"Yes, Mr. Yasen, I feel like you've seen everything, and nothing can shake you."
Ruan Qingqiu complimented, this is her usual way of dealing with students, and sometimes, the best way to communicate with a person is a certain amount of praise, after all, everyone likes to be praised.
"What are you doing now?"
Ruan Qingqiu noticed that Bai Ge's gaze was not completely on his body, but more on the restaurant, so he asked curiously.
"Observing."
Bai Ge said lightly.
βοΌβ
Ruan Qingqiu didn't quite understand, and looked at him along his line of sight
There were other people in the restaurant, and Bai Ge saw a gentleman in a double-breasted suit with his female companion, as well as two old men with white hair, several young people who drank and talked happily, and business people in suits and leather shoes.
Probably because of the previous incident of the twilight wolf, Bai Ge looks a bit like a killer to everyone now, maybe these people will stand up and surround each of them later.
"I see, I'm observing their words and deeds, and deducing if they're really tourists, or if they're actually promoted criminals?"
Ruan Qingqiu nodded in understanding.
"For example, the two old people, their grandsons are studying in the school city, and they didn't come home for the New Year, so this time they went to visit him and traveled......"
"For example, the gentleman in the double-breasted suit, who will marry his girlfriend or his fiancΓ©e in the near future, this time on a pre-wedding trip......"
"Another example is that the young people, who are actually students who have gone out to study, have just finished their vacation and are ready to return to school......"
She looked at the diners and guessed about their lives.
Then, Ruan Qingqiu saw Bai Ge stand up and walk towards the dining table of the pair of old men.
"Is there something wrong with that old couple? But how could they be ...... when they looked so loving and so kind?"
But after Bai Ge passed the two old men, he turned to the couple's table again.
"No, no, they're the real suspicious guys? But they've only been showing affection since the beginning......"
Bai Ge swept past the two of them and turned to several young people who were drinking.
"Really, really, it seems that those people have been drinking, and they haven't done anything strange, it's them?"
Ruan Qingqiu's eyes widened.
It was only at this time that the young teacher discovered that there was still a plate in the white singer, and the plate that was empty before was now filled with food.
Sitting at the old man's table is freshly baked charcoal-grilled oysters, the couple is flanked by freshly served salt-baked prawns, and behind the young people is a delicious pudding.
Bai Ge turned around, took a small half plate of food, and returned to his position.
βοΌβ
Ruan Qingqiu didn't quite understand, observation, what did you mean by this observation?
Observe if there are any new dishes?
"It's important to eat."
I don't know if I saw Ruan Qingqiu's doubts, Bai Ge picked up the fork, said seriously, thought about it, and handed a bunch of salt-baked shrimp to Ruan Qingqiu.
"It should taste good."
Taking over the string of salt-baked shrimp, Ruan Qingqiu felt that he couldn't understand this man at all.
...
...
Late at night.
Bai Ge washed up briefly, sat in his cabin, his cloak and top hat hung aside, and his monocle was taken off and put in his breast pocket, this cabin was relatively spacious, with a round window to see the sea outside, illuminated by the stars.
The slight shaking did not make Bai Ge feel uncomfortable, as an [assassin], he was even able to walk on a large ship in an extremely turbulent storm, Bai Ge took a sip of coconut water from his cup and heard a knock on the door.
Knock Knock Knock β
Bai Ge stood up and opened the hatch.
Ruan Qingqiu put his hands together in front of him and stood outside the door.
Her long hair was slightly tied up, and she also changed into a bright yellow skirt with polka dot patterns, and light-colored cloth shoes, revealing her slender and beautiful ankles.
Why change clothes?
Bai Ge didn't quite understand.
Ruan Qingqiu still had a faint vapor on his body, which was obviously bathed.
"You're three minutes early."
Bai Ge picked up the pocket watch and glanced at it.
"IβI don't think I can be late for the first time."
Ruan Qingqiu replied in a weak tone.
"Come in."
Bai Ge took two steps back, and after Ruan Qingqiu walked in, he gently closed the door.
Click-
The sound of the door closing made Ruan Qingqiu shiver subconsciously, and she took two steps forward, not knowing where to sit - there was only one chair fixed to the floor in the cabin, and the rest was the bed.
"Sit on the bed."
Bai Ge said something casually, which made Ruan Qingqiu hesitate for a moment, and then sat down tremblingly, putting his hands on the skirt of his knees.
"What are the skills of an ascender that you currently master?"
Instead of sitting down, he stood opposite Ruan Qingqiu against the wall, and Bai Ge asked casually.
"Uh, like drawing and playing is easier, it's faster to learn, and writing articles and things like that, and it's being able to influence to a certain extent, uh, influence? Affect what you touch. β
Ruan Qingqiu replied uncertainly.
"To what extent is the impact? Like you do with a yokai book? β
Bai Ge asked, picked up a pen and a small notebook at the same time, and carefully recorded what Ruan Qingqiu said.
"Well, at most, it's to control the water in the cup and not let it spill out, and the dust won't fall on the hair, and the hands won't get chalk ash to the extent that they are dirty, but it seems to be more limited to resentful spirits and the like, I used to go out with my friends and met the ghosts in the house, and purified it!"
Ruan Qingqiu said, puffing up her proud chest.
Bai Ge didn't answer, thinking for a while.
When encountering the monster book, Ruan Qingqiu obviously temporarily suppressed the book by touching, but it was quickly broken free, combined with what she said now, it should be the most basic transformation ability of the creator prototype upgrader to transform the world, this transformation ability is very weak in the first order, if it weren't for the resentful spirit of the monster book itself is estimated to be the creation of the remnants of the ascender's breath, Ruan Qingqiu would not be able to interfere with it at all.
Tao Xuanran mentioned when teaching Bai Ge about the characteristics of the prototype that the transformation ability of the first order of the creator's prototype varies from person to person, when facing ordinary items, the strong can probably bend the note, and the weak can only sweep the dust on the desktop, but not clean.
As for the creation of the ascended person, the creator prototype can have a certain influence even in the first order, and from this point of view, Ruan Qingqiu may be considered to be of a medium level.
"You are the ascender of the creator archetype, you know this?"
Bai Ge, just in case, first asked a basic common sense.
"This ...... Seems to be, right? β
Ruan Qingqiu tilted his head.
Why interrogative sentences?
Don't you pay attention to your own business?
Bai Ge felt the fatigue of taking Xiaobai.
"You know the concept of a prototype, right?"
"Round?"
β......β
Do you want to start from scratch......
Bai Ge realized that although he didn't know much about the upgrader before, he had relied on his mobile game to travel a lot, and the basic knowledge was still fine, but he didn't expect Ruan Qingqiu to really have a physique insulated from the upgrader, and he didn't even understand this.
It's so blissful.
Bai Ge thought to himself like a self-deprecating thought, and then spoke.
"Archetypes are a system of distinguishing ascendants based on the characteristics of ascenders, and there are currently five archetypes, namely Heroes, Creators, Shadows, Fate, and Beasts......"
It took about an hour, Bai Ge briefly explained the five prototypes to Ruan Qingqiu, and assigned a certain amount of homework.
But then again, it's always weird to give homework to a teacher.
Although in terms of real age, Bai Ge is almost five years younger than Ruan Qingqiu, on the one hand, it is Yasen Hercule's appearance, and on the other hand, it is the things he has experienced, he is much more mature than Ruan Qingqiu, and even more so in the field of knowledge related to the ascendant.
"Alright, you can go back, and when you get off the ship, I'll find time to check your homework."
Bai Ge said, but found that Ruan Qingqiu did not leave, but pinched the corners of his skirt with both hands and looked at his toes.
"So...... Is it really just a lecture? β
She asked.
"And what else do you want to do?"
Bai Ge twitched the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.
"IβI thought ......"
Ruan Qingqiu was speechless for a while, and his cheeks turned crimson.
Speaking of which...... The first order of the creator's prototype is called [Delusional Man], is it all this style of painting?
"I wore a full ......"
A whole set of what?
Bai Ge frowned slightly.
But before he could complain more, the two of them saw outside the window, and something fell down, making a plopping sound.
That's a person!

There was one thing that fell out, and that was the recommendation ticket and the monthly pass!
