Gu Qingshan never thought that the lame Barry would be such a person.

This kind of person...... I'm afraid I don't even know what I'm going to do.

It is even more difficult for others to guess his actions.

Gu Qingshan felt a certain difficulty.

"Thank you for sharing." He said to the old man.

"It's nothing, just a little gossip." The old man laughed.

"Then I'll rest."

"Well, I'll call you when I get there."

"Okay, thank you."

The two said goodbye.

Gu Qingshan entered his room and closed the door.

There have been so many things that have happened lately, and they are all unexpected things, and he needs a quiet environment to sort out slowly.

He looked around.

There was nothing in the whole room.

In a confined space, not to mention a lamp, there are not even the most basic tables and chairs.

It was an empty house.

Gu Qingshan was stunned.

Supposedly, an organization like the Tower Guardians Association would not provide such a humble place to live.

As he was thinking, he saw a candle burning out of the darkness.

The candle floated in mid-air, floating in front of Gu Qingshan.

A soft female voice rang out in the room.

"Welcome, distinguished guest."

"Your race is: Terran."

"We are following the law of origin remembrance to extract the most relaxing environment."

The sound disappears.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.

The female voice reappeared.

"The most pleasant environments that have been found to be the most pleasant for you are as follows:"

"One of them: Rainbow Bar;"

"Second: the first room on the east side of the second floor of the mountain house in the suburban area of the Federation;"

"Third: Hundred Flowers Sect Orchid Grass Palace;"

"Fourth: Room 2203, 22nd Floor, Relief Building, Fifth Block of the Liberal Federal Slums."

"Please choose the environment you like to ensure the comfort of this trip."

Gu Qingshan stood in place and thought for a while.

"Fifth Block." He tried to say.

"Okay, the environment has been decided, this trip and supporting facilities are provided by the Tower Guardians Association, I wish you a pleasant trip."

The female voice fell silent.

The candle was extinguished.

Darkness returned to the room.

But something seems to have quietly changed.

Gu Qingshan released his divine thoughts again and observed the entire room.

It's a cramped, long-strip room.

The whole room is not divided into living room, bedroom, kitchen, and can barely put down a bed and cabinet, and everything else has to be piled aside.

There wasn't even a bathroom.

A chandelier hung alone from the ceiling, its broken tube covered in dust.

Such a living environment is considered inferior in the slums of the Federation.

Gu Qingshan stared at his room.

He stood there for a moment, as if recalling something.

The room was silent, as if waiting for him in silence.

It wasn't until there was a faint glimmer of light in the room that Gu Qingshan sighed.

He came to the window and looked out.

Nearby are all blackened skyscrapers, with only sporadic lights upstairs.

This is a slum.

Electricity is a precious thing, and people here are used to saving electricity.

Look into the distance.

In the distance, the capital's business districts and administrative districts are brightly lit.

Gu Qingshan stayed for another moment.

Some long-ago memories come to mind.

Scenes from those childhood and adolescence emerge one after another.

Growing up alone.

This word, in some people's mouths, is just a beautiful word to flaunt personality and window dressing.

For Gu Qingshan, these four words represent the bitterness and loneliness of being extremely real.

He was an orphan.

It's all on your own.

Gu Qingshan turned around and walked to the end of the bed.

As soon as he touched it, a bottle of inferior wine appeared in his hand.

Sure enough, it's still in a familiar place.

This is the lowest distilled spirit, with only 5 credits per bottle, and is a favorite among the poor.

The glass bottle contained a transparent liquor, and the wrapper on the outside of the bottle had been worn out a little, and the words on it had become blurred.

He had been hiding this bottle of wine for more than half a year, ready to open it on his birthday.

- Even such small details fit perfectly into their own memories, and the power of the Tower Guardians Guild is truly magical.

It's no wonder that the godborn was nervous because of the lack of fare.

Gu Qingshan opened the wine without thinking.

Raise the bottle and pour it up.

Violent.

Bitter.

A chilling sensation rose and lingered in the chest.

Although it is an inferior wine, it is full of long-term memories, which brings Gu Qingshan a long-lost feeling.

Thinking of the past, Gu Qingshan couldn't help but shake his head.

He took one sip after another and drank more than half of the whole bottle.

On a whim, Gu Qingshan walked to the side of the bed and lifted another layer of covering.

Charcoal, a long barbecue iron box, wires used to skewer meat, and various condiments are neatly stacked.

This is the guy Gu Qingshan used to earn tuition.

He has a talent for cooking and bartending.

In other words, he has excellent intuition in the creation of taste, and he is a good hand in a hundred.

When he was a teenager, the Free Federation's gourmet summary included his recipe for the ratio of beef ribs to barbecue.

This is the highest level of gastronomic evaluation in the Federation.

For this, the goddess of justice rewarded him with 2 merit points.

That year, Gu Qingshan was only fifteen years old.

At this age, peers are still daydreaming.

Gu Qingshan can already come out of the black stall and take charge of the food field.

If he hadn't been too obsessed with mechs and dreamed of going to college, he would have become a top chef long ago.

Gu Qingshan lit the charcoal fire and fiddled with the barbecue utensils.

He patted the storage bag again, took out some of the meat, vegetables and fruits of the spiritual food, handled them carefully, and then skewered them on wire strings.

A few minutes later, the "Gujia Barbecue Stand" opened again.

The endless stream of customers of the past is gone.

This time, he was the only one with the owner and the customer.

Slow down—

A beautiful shadow flickered in the void and quietly landed on Gu Qingshan's side.

Mountain Girl.

"Isn't Childe a sword cultivator? How to cook? ”

The mountain girl watched Gu Qingshan's movements and asked unexpectedly.

"Swordsmanship is the way to kill the enemy, and cooking is the means to make a living." Gu Qingshan Road.

As before, he carefully brushed the sauce, put the seasoning, and counted the time to turn the kebabs.

These ingredients come from the resource-rich cultivation world, contain aura, and have been carefully processed by Qin Xiaolou, which is already a first-class delicacy.

After Gu Qingshan's roasting, soon the first string of meat already exuded an attractive aroma.

Gu Qingshan picked it up and handed it to the mountain girl.

"Try my craft."

"Yes."

The figure of the mountain girl changed from unreal to real.

She changed from a sword spirit to a human woman.

After several transformations into the harmony of human beings, the mountain girl has completely grasped the mystery of becoming a human.

She took the skewer and sniffed it in front of her nose before she began to eat it.

"It smells so good."

The mountain girl sighed.

The mountain girl ate the meat skewers and looked at the room curiously.

"Childe, this is where you used to live?"

"Yes."

"It's very simple." The mountain girl commented.

"When I live here, sometimes I can't even eat."

"Childe also has such a time of embarrassment?" The mountain girl asked with a smile.

At this time, Gu Qingshan baked another bunch of kidney flowers.

He began to taste them.

Fragrant!

- It's still the same taste.

Gu Qingshan gradually smiled.

He picked up the bottle of distilled spirit and took a sip.

Wine and barbecue are an eternal pairing.

For the rest of the time, Gu Qingshan forgot everything and immersed himself in the process of cooking the skewers.

Finally, he washed his hands and made a soup, and drank it with the mountain girl.

"The soup tastes good, too." The mountain girl drank as she looked at Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan said inexplicably: "What's wrong?" ”

"If one day, when you don't have to fight anymore, will Childe go and open a restaurant?"

"Why don't you have to fight?" Gu Qingshan asked with a smile.

"If the apocalypse is over, there will be no need to fight."

"Wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm always looking for ways to get stronger, and I'm never going to stop moving forward for anything."

"But if all the demons disappear, there will be no point in making such preparations for battle." The mountain girl was puzzled.

"Mountain Maiden, think about those people in the Hanging World."

The mountain girl thought about it for a while, and said with palpitations: "I was indeed wrong, it turns out that the human heart is more terrible than demons. ”

Her beautiful face was covered with a layer of sadness.

Gu Qingshan glanced at her and said with a smile: "You don't have to be overly pessimistic, people can be very bad when they are bad, but they can be very good when they are good." ”

"For example?"

"Billions of trillions of dead choose to spend merit at the last moment to guard the human realm."

The mountain girl nodded, lost in thought for a moment.

After a moment, her brow gradually relaxed.

Gu Qingshan took the soup bowl in his hand and slowly drank the soup.

After such a wonderful dinner, his nervous mind, which had been tense, finally relaxed a little.

After pinching some water, washing all the utensils, tidying up again according to the previous order, and washing his hands again, Gu Qingshan sat down on the bed.

He breathed as he pondered what had happened recently.

I thought that after dealing with the affairs of the suspended world, I could return to the cultivation world.

Who knew that so many accidents suddenly popped up.

Extradimensional World ......

It seems that he needs to redefine his perception of the world.

Gu Qingshan thought about it for a short time.

— and then he fell asleep.

The mountain girl listened to his long breathing, and quietly observed his sleeping appearance.

She spun around and became a long sword suspended in the center of the room.

She guarded Gu Qingshan.
