Shortly after nightfall, Tang Shao and the three of them appeared in the No. 1 restaurant located at the front of the cruise ship near the first-class position, which was much higher than the No. 3 restaurant on the ground floor that Tang Shao frequented. At this time, Tang Shao had already changed into a straight suit. Although he is technically involved in wearing a suit, Tang Shao is still very comfortable, and he is still nondescript when wearing a suit.

In the evening, a beautiful waitress sent this neat outfit into Tang Shao's room and said, "This is customized by a lady Ruan for her husband, and she told you to be sure to dress up before going to the banquet." ”

But wearing a suit this time was completely voluntary, and the reason was nothing more than the title of billionaire. As for the two girls, they seem to have been deliberately dressed up, and they look a little more beautiful than usual.

When he walked into the restaurant wrapped in a suit, he was greeted by a handsome waiter.

"Does the gentleman have a reservation?"

"Nope." Tang Shao replied stunned.

"I'm sorry sir, we need a reservation here." The waiter's answer was very polite, but his attitude had changed slightly, and as for the change in his heart, Tang Shao clearly captured it.

"Don't you just want money? Tell me the price. The new billionaire Tang Shao has a good temper, and when it comes to money, he has a devastating self-confidence.

"I'm sorry sir, we have to make a reservation here." The waiter still replied politely, and his face was already a little embarrassed.

Billionaire Tang Shao felt a little deflated. I thought to myself that my card that claimed to have hundreds of millions of dollars was fake, and it was not smooth on the first day of being promoted to a billionaire, and I finally accidentally encountered such an opportunity to spend money and it was in vain.

Just when Tang Shao was in a dilemma, another waiter walked to the door and whispered a few words in the ear of the waiter who had stopped Tang Shao before.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't know you were a friend of Ms. Ruan, please go this way!" The waiter turned to his side and stretched out his right hand in a gesture of please.

Several people were invited to a small round table, where the woman surnamed Ruan was already sitting, as if she had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Tang Shao coming over, she casually handed a banknote to the waiter who led the way, and said to Tang Shao: "Hehe, the clothes fit well, sit down." ”

"Where's this fitting? It feels awkward. Tang Shao said and tugged at the shirt that was tightly wrapped around him.

"It's a high-end place, and if you don't dress like that, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get in here." As she spoke, she looked at a sign hanging on the wall that read, "Poorly dressed, not accepted." ”

"Do you know my uncle?" Ouyang Beiyan directly ignored all the cutscenes and asked directly.

"Acquaintance, and still very good friends." The woman replied gracefully.

"Do you know where he is now?" Ouyang Beiyan asked.

"Of course I know." The woman said without hurry, seeing that Ouyang Beiyan seemed to be impatient to ask the next question before she preemptively said: "Girl, don't worry, the appetizers haven't been served yet, we have time." ”

"Are you Mr. Nguyen?" Tang Rou, who rarely spoke on the boat, suddenly asked, this question not only surprised Tang Shao a little, but even the face of the woman who had always looked very elegant was unnatural for a moment. But what surprised the two was a world of difference.

The woman's strangeness disappeared in an instant, and she still replied gracefully, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." I've had a lot of titles, but they've all been given by others. Maybe someone called me Mr. Nguyen. ”

As he spoke, the waiter served the first appetizer. Facing the handful of vegetables on the huge plate in front of him, Tang Shao filled it into his mouth with a spoonful, chewed it twice, and almost spit it out again.

"What is this? Not sweet or salty? This is because I am afraid that others will eat and lift the table, so I only take one bite, right? ”

"It's just an appetizer, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it for a while." Mr. Ruan ate unhurriedly a plate of dishes in front of him, as if that one

It's as if she could eat a handful of vegetables for ten minutes.

"Let's ask Mr. Ruan to get straight to the point." Ouyang Beiyan didn't eat, she has always been a quick-tempered person, and she is not likely to save face for anyone.

The woman was still unhurried, put away the knife and fork, took a sip of water, and wiped the corner of her mouth twice with a napkin before saying leisurely: "Young people are too impetuous. Well, then let's start with a story. ”

Then Mr. Nguyen told a story that happened in the early 80s.

In 1979, three young people studying in the United States were suddenly recruited into a temporary research team. It is said that it is suddenly because this recruitment has no warning, and the three young people are not gifted, except that they are originally from Huaxia, there is nothing special about it.

The three young men reported to the meeting place with trepidation, and the receptionist did not provide any further information to the three young men. Many years after the fact, Mr. Nguyen knew from his own investigation that the reason for recruiting the three of them was only because of their nationality. The so-called scientific expedition was actually a multinational research project, and the target of the research was an alien UFO that crashed in the mountains on the southern border of China. That is, because the crash site is in China, the Chinese side proposed that there must be Chinese researchers in the scientific expedition team to approve the scientific expedition. At that time, Huaxia had just recovered from the turmoil, and it was difficult to find a decent scientific research force, and these three young people studying abroad became the only and forced choice.

Following the team deep into the hinterland of Yunnan, the three young men were suddenly taken to a black stone box by several soldiers one night after dozens of days of eating, sleeping and sleeping. From the outside, the stone box looks only about three meters square, but the interior space seems to be several times larger. The inner wall of the stone box is carved with intricate symbols, which do not resemble tadpole script or hieroglyphs, but intuitively are certain to be some kind of script.

But their doubts did not last long, and one of the leaders gave them a manuscript and asked them to translate the words on the wall of the stone box according to the translated manuscript. Later they learned that a few of the scientists who had been here before them had either died or gone insane, and that they rookies had become the only real choice. The notebooks in their hands are the research results of those scientists in the past few days.

After half a month of research, the three of them finally learned the secret of the Black Stone Box. But what they didn't know at the time was that while they were working in the stone box, the security forces were undergoing a subtle change, and the change began in the depths of those people's brains. By the time they came out of the blackstone chest, they were already looking at them like wild beasts looking at their prey.

The three young men noticed the change in the men and escaped from the camp on a starry night with the things they had taken from the blackstone chest.

Two days later, the three young men returned to the camp again, but there were no more people there, and even the huge blackstone chest had vanished into thin air.

After trekking in the mountains for dozens of days, the three young men finally returned to the world. They had seen the secrets inside the blackstone box, and knowing the weight of the matter, they instinctively hid it. On the one hand, they began to study the information in their hands in depth, and on the other hand, they also inquired about the news of this scientific expedition through various connections.

Gradually, they were shocked by the information they had obtained. It was a document of extraterrestrial technology, a document far beyond human understanding at the time. And the information about the expedition seemed to have been erased out of thin air, and even some high-ranking officials knew nothing about the expedition.

Believing that their lives were not in danger, the three young men chose different paths. One person chose to get married, have children, and live an ordinary life, while the other two chose to go away in the hope that one day they could put alien technology into practice.

After speaking, Mr. Ruan's eyes began to look Tang Rou up and down constantly.

"Looks like he's succeeded!" The woman exclaimed.

It's not a long story to be served food constantly

The matter was divided into several sections, but Tang Shao still roughly understood.

"Could it be that Uncle is one of the three?" Ouyang Beiyan asked.

"Of course, and the most obsessed of the three. Later, he found Ren Qianzhong, the founder of E Times, who was at a low point in his career, and then he had her. Mr. Ruan's eyes kept wandering over Tang Rou when he spoke, as if he was admiring a work of art.

"Who are the other two?"

Tang Shao had already habitually eaten the seventh dish in one bite, while Mr. Ruan had just picked up the utensils and was about to start, as if he was not going to answer Tang Shao's question immediately. Tang Shao stared at a pair of curious little eyes, and waited for more than ten minutes before finally waiting for Mr. Ruan to put down the knife and fork.

"I'm one of them, and I'll leave the other one to you to find for yourselves. It's going to be interesting. ”

This answer is basically equivalent to not answering, and Tang Shao felt that it was not worth waiting for more than ten minutes.

"Then why did you tell us about it?" Tang Rou, who doesn't talk much, can always grasp the most critical issues at the moment.

"Because you are already in this game, you naturally have the right to know the past and present life of this game." When talking about you, Mr. Ruan also used her slender fingers to point Tang Shao and the three of them.

"Games?" The three of them asked rhetorically almost in unison.

"You can also call it a conspiracy, a plan, a project, a war...... Games are just my name. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't even remember what to ask.

"The game continues, so I'll give you two hints. First, the gold card in your hand is the key to continuing the game, don't say any more stupid things thrown into the sea; Second, there was a man named Xie Yu on the ship, and he had important information about the trip in his hands. After saying this, Mr. Ruan began to enjoy her eighth course, as if the person who had spoken a lot just now was not her at all.

There were a total of twenty-eight dishes served in this meal, and Tang Shao only ate twenty-eight bites, while Mr. Ruan ate it for more than four hours. Mr. Ruan used these four hours to give Tang Shao an on-site teaching lesson on how to eat Western food.

After the last dessert, Mr. Nguyen finally spoke again: "If you let those people who spend all day outside the restaurant with money seeing your appearance, they should be angry." I ordered this chef's meal a month in advance. It's just a waste of you. ”

"You knew we were going to have this meal with you a month ago?" Ouyang Beiyan asked with some disdain.

Mr. Nguyen didn't answer, just returned a calm smile, which seemed to be an affirmative answer.

"Why did you tell us about thank you? Do you want to borrow a knife to kill someone? Ouyang Beiyan asked again.

"The game has the rules of the game, what is the point of the game without leaving some suspense." The woman who had been particularly talkative before had suddenly become a treasure trove of words, and seemed to have suddenly lost interest in talking.

The woman left, and Tang Shao stayed to settle the bill. $16,000! That was the first time he, a billionaire, had experienced what it was like to be stupid and have a lot of money.

"Is this worth sixteen thousand? It's not as delicious as the five-dollar pancakes in my community. "It's one thing to be unwilling, but as a billionaire, he was finally able to spend his first money, which also made him feel a lot more relieved today.

Outside the restaurant, Mr. Nguyen didn't go far when he was stopped by an elderly man. He also appeared in the high-end gambling room last night, and Mr. Nguyen recognized and knew who the other party was.

"Is he okay?" Mr. Ruan asked without waiting for the man to speak.

"He said that you are a person with a strong aura, and you really live up to your reputation." The young man was neither humble nor arrogant, he took out a fan-shaped black jade plaque from his arms, shook it at Mr. Ruan, and continued: "He asked me to bring you a message, Tang Shao must stay away from your game, otherwise please leave this black stone plaque, and he himself will not see you again." He also said, please don't try to look for him, otherwise you can only find his ashes. ”
