Chapter 403: Midtown Envoy
Chapter 165: Midtown Envoy
At 5 o'clock in the morning the next day, Lin Zaishan called everyone up and practiced physically in the courtyard of the small villa. His exercises are based on breathing, gymnastics and endurance, interspersed with traditional boxing.
Pig Head Masamune asked, "Now that we have entered the era of supernatural abilities and high martial arts, why do we still practice these traditional boxing methods that have no obvious combat fighting effect?" β
Lin Zaishan retorted: "Who told you that traditional boxing has no actual combat value? If you are not convinced, we might as well compete, you use modern techniques, I use traditional boxing, and see who wins. β
Pig-headed Masamune smiled bitterly, "You guy is so wicked, I can't beat you with any punch." β
Lin Zaishan said: "In the past, people practiced traditional boxing and the effect of actual combat was not obvious, an important reason was that they did not practice boxing, and they did not practice qi. Without the support of qi, of course everything is an empty shelf. But now the environment is very different, the meteorite explosion is infused with powerful life energy, and the heaven and earth are filled with qi, and the characteristics of traditional boxing methods make it better absorb these gases and turn them into its own. After practicing for a long time, it will naturally lead to physical fitness and other gains, including the improvement of actual combat fighting ability. β
Sima asked curiously, "Where did you learn your traditional boxing techniques?" Why didn't I show it when I first met you? β
Lin Zaishan scratched his head and said, "I should have remembered it naturally." β

Everyone was practicing happily, and Brother Hong appeared outside the villa. He watched the movements of the crowd with curiosity, until he noticed that he had been discovered, and then beckoned, "Chief, I have come to inform you that you and your men will have dinner at the gourmet restaurant at 6 p.m. tonight." Are you available? β
"Okay." Lin Zaishan readily agreed.
"Okay, I'll wait at the food shop in advance." Brother Hong turned around and left.
Du Ziming said, "Brother Hong's tone is arrogant, and he is obviously insincere. β
"It's very rare for him to be able to talk to me like that. Anyway, there was a ready-made meal to eat tonight, and poor quail was finally able to enjoy the chicken legs. β
Lin Zaishan led everyone to continue practicing, Sima Te and the others were exhausted, Lin Zaishan still refused to stop, and persisted for more than half an hour, and finally said, "I will practice here this morning, and if there is no accident in the future, I will continue to practice in this way every day, and gradually increase the intensity and load." β
Sima Te said: "Do you want to increase?" This one is already very tiring! β
"You're tired already, aren't you? I'll tell you that compared to the real strong and masters, this is just the beginning, and it's not worth mentioning at all. Aren't you all vying to be heroes? Then please turn off the basic physical fitness first. β
Everyone cheered up and said, "Okay! β
Lin Zaishan said, "In order to encourage everyone to keep exercising, and at the same time to promote the recovery of the body, I am willing to take out two crystal fruits for everyone to enjoy." β
The crowd cheered in unison. The poisonous spider said, "Don't touch my crystal fruit." β
Lin Zaishan scared her, "If you refuse to support my work, I will let the pigeon be the mistress of the house." β
The pigeon immediately raised its hand. The poisonous spider said helplessly, "Okay, but you have to remember my dedication and sacrifice. β
//////
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Lin Zaishan went to the City Lord's Mansion on time to find Xiao Tao and receive his own training.
Xiao Tao asked him to review yesterday's content, "You have a good grasp of basic postures and movements, but your eyes and expressions are too far apart." Forget it, just leave that alone. Today's training focuses on social etiquette, mainly including interactive movements, expression control, table manners, entertainment activities, and dress training. I wouldn't be able to finish it in a week, but since there's only one last day of training, it's up to you to learn as much as you want. β
At this time, except for the fact that his memory has not recovered and his intelligence is slightly lower than before, Lin Zaishan is far beyond in all other aspects, and he can be described as in excellent condition, and immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I promise to go all out." β
Without further ado, let's start with the basic interactive actions. Say hello to me, the kind of acquaintance you just met. β
Lin Zaishan raised his hand and beckoned, with a friendly smile on his face.
"The waving gesture is like teasing the dog, and the smile on his face is like Erha." Xiao Tao commented, "Your hand movements should be more soothing and elegant, just smile on your face, you don't need to be so strong, it's like picking up bones." Well, it's progressing pretty fast. Here's a handshake exercise, assuming we're business partners, meeting and shaking hands. Ah, you're pushing too hard, and you're hurting me! β
Lin Zaishan reduced his strength and shook hands with Xiao Tao again. The wide, thick, warm hand grasped the soft, delicate little hand of the little peach and shook it gently. Lin Zaishan asked modestly, "Is this what it looks like?" β
Xiao Tao was reluctant to feel this way, so she said, "Do it again." "Let Lin Zaishan practice 7 times in a row before changing the content." Let's teach ballroom dancing in recreational activities. β
Lin Zaishan Road "Ballroom Dance? As far as I know, young people don't dance much before the end of the world. β
"You're talking about those young, ignorant, and uneducated poor people, how can the upper-class people who are really successful in their careers be separated from ballroom dancing?"
"The old king next door doesn't seem to know how to dance ballroom dance."
"If you follow his example, you will definitely mold yourself into a successful fat pig."
"Okay, whatever you teach, I'll learn it all."
And just like that, I practiced until 12 noon. Xiao Tao called the meal from the kitchen, ate it with Lin Zaishan, and taught him dining etiquette by the way.
"How's my practice?"
"It's so-so, it's still a few central streets away from the idol level." Although Xiao Tao was sarcastic, he still admired Lin Zaishan's speed of learning in his heart. Her set of image and etiquette training courses was specially tailored for local tyrants who wanted to enter the upper class before the end of the world, and the fees were extremely high. Few of the local tyrant students who signed up for the competition could make her feel too satisfied, especially Wang Chengba, who was so stupid that he had to step on her feet several times for every dance music, which made her very disgusted; And the chief in front of him is the most talented among her students, and he has mastered the training content of the 3-month course in just two days, and now what is missing is the inner "self-confidence" and micro-expression control.
"You have to be more confident and think of yourself as an emperor penguin. Yes, the chin is raised, a 15-degree angle is fine, not 45 degrees, that is to pretend to be A, not demeanor. Xiao Tao stared at Lin Zaishan for a few seconds, and reminded, "The expression is more cold, imagine yourself as a fierce predator." β
Lin Zaishan couldn't help but think of his mount, the seventh-level wild boar brother, and his face suddenly took on a naΓ―ve look, and his eyes radiated a happy light.
Xiao Tao knocked on his head and said, "Let you be cold, not let you show off!" Put away this nasty smile and don't show your teeth! Do you know that if you don't smile, you still look like a gentleman, and when you open your mouth to smile, your image is completely ruined, which immediately exposes the essence of your native bun background. β
Lin Zaishan argued: "There's nothing wrong with having a soil bun background, isn't it also advisable to be a simple person?" β
"Nonsense! Do you still want to be a post-apocalyptic hero? Do you still want to get the charm of an idol? Then forget your native bun background, imagine yourself as a nobleman wholeheartedly, and let yourself naturally reveal the aristocratic atmosphere in your every move, word and deed. β
"Frankly speaking, the breath of the nobles is not necessarily healthy and clean, and many people exhale air with germs, and the cardiopulmonary system often has problems. β
"Don't get too far away, focus on training."
At this time, Lin Zaishan suddenly noticed the roar of helicopters in the distance, and asked Xiao Taodao, "How many helicopters are there in the City Lord's Mansion?" β
Xiao Tao said: "There is not a single one." Why are you asking this question? β
"Because a helicopter is about to fly over, if the other party is an enemy, and a ground attack from the helicopter, Guicheng will suffer serious losses."
Xiao Tao immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and informed Wang Chengba: "The chief said that a helicopter will fly over this side immediately." β
Wang Chengba responded, "I know, it's a helicopter sent by Midtown." Bring the chief to protect me right away, and by the way, don't forget to put a mask on him. β
//////
A helicopter landed on the lawn of the City Lord's Mansion and 5 people wearing special mechs got off the plane. These mechs are snug and sleek, full of space metal and sci-fi colors. The mech is adorned with specially crafted swords, bows, and firearms, demonstrating its formidable combat aids.
One of the five men strode forward, apparently the leader; The other four followed unhurriedly and vigilantly observed the situation around them. Because of the tight helmet, no one can see the faces of these 5 people clearly, judging from the body shape and demeanor, it should be 3 women and 2 men.
Lin Zaishan had already used his qi sense to investigate these 5 people in the shortest possible time, and found that the life energy of these 5 people was generally relatively strong, and the two men were particularly prominent - from them, Lin Zaishan felt the traces of the effect of the crystal fruit, and it seemed that they should have taken the crystal fruit for a long time. The three women are all slender and fit, which is the result of regular exercise.
The woman at the head walked up to Wang Chengba, took off her helmet, and asked coldly, "You are Wang Chengba, the city lord of Guicheng?" I'm Anne Ho, the envoy of Midtown. β
Wang Chengba suddenly woke up, shifted his daze gaze from He Annie's long legs to her pretty face, and smiled obscenely, "Oh, the beautiful Miss He is here, and she is not welcome." Please come and take a seat in my reception room. β
He Annie bluntly refused, "We still have very important things to deal with, so let's talk about business here." We are here in Guicheng for three purposes: First, entrust the Guicheng authorities to assist us in finding Lin Zaishan's whereabouts, if we can find Lin Zaishan or provide a definite clue, we will give heavy gratitude, and the reward will definitely not disappoint you. This is the basic information about Lin Zaishan, please receive. β
Wang Chengba immediately took it over and said, "Miss He, don't worry, I will do my best to assist Zhongcheng to find Lin Zaishan." If nothing else, there will be a definite response within ten days and a half. β
"Oh? Are you so confident? "Anne Ho was clearly successful in getting her attention.
Wang Chengba patted his chest proudly, "I, Wang Chengba, have never boasted in front of beautiful women, and I will definitely do what I say." β
"That's good, I hope you don't lose your words, otherwise the consequences will be serious,"
Wang Chengba was not angry at He Annie's threat, and continued, "If I find Lin Zaishan or get news of him, how can I contact you?" β
Anne Ho replied, "The information about Lin Zaishan has our contact information attached. The second purpose of our visit is to exchange and update the information of the apocalyptic creatures, if you have any latest information about the animals, plants, etc. of the apocalypse, please let us know in detail, so that we can include the database and carry out relevant research; In return, we will provide relevant survival knowledge free of charge. β
Wang Cheng said domineeringly: "This is a piece of cake." He waved at Lin Zaishan, "Chief, you can introduce Miss He to the area around Guicheng."
Newly discovered flora and fauna. β
Lin Zai, who was ordered to wear a mask, stepped forward to face He Annie on the mountain and said, "In terms of plants, there are two main discoveries: one is the five-color crystal fruit ......."
"Five-colored crystal fruit? What are the colors? He Annie asked in surprise without waiting for Lin Zaishan to finish speaking.
"In fact, there are many colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple." Lin Zaishan replied, "I'm just calling it the five-color crystal fruit according to the convention. β
"Are you bragging?" Anne Ho asked unceremoniously.
"If you don't believe me, I'll go and get it for you now." Lin Zaishan turned around to leave.
He Annie stopped, "No, maybe next time." What other new flora and fauna have you discovered? β
"Another new plant is the man-eating vine tree, which is the size of a whole small valley and has hundreds of vines, which will detect when an animal approaches it, and then use the vines to entangle the prey and send it to the roots to eat."
"Consciousness Plant x1?" Anne Ho was taken aback again.
"Yes, this plant seems to be conscious."
"Do you know where this man-eating vine tree is?"
"It's in the C6 area outside Guicheng, but it's been burned to death."
"Do you have any other information?"
"Does the sixth-level fish monster in the lake count?"
Anne shook her head.
"Rank 7 Wild Boar?"
Anne shook her head again.
"What about slugs?"
"What is a slug?"
Lin Zaishan described the characteristics of the slug in detail to He Annie, who couldn't help but show a disgusting expression. She turned to a female mecha officer behind her and said, "Chen Qing, you record the information of this insect word for word. β
Lin Zaishan reminded: "This slug has a very strong aggressiveness and infectivity, and can be both viviparous and parasitic, and is an extremely dangerous animal." Once infected, it is even more terrifying than corpse poison. β
"We'll come up with a solution." Do you have any of these bugs? β
Wang Chengba interjected, "I annihilated everything I saw two days ago, and it's not easy to find it." β
"It's not impossible to find it." Lin Zaishan Road: "Along the sewer system of Guicheng, you can enter the underground passage opened by the excavator worm, and there must be a presence in the depths of this passage. β
"Sounds very dangerous." Wang Chengba asked Lin Zaishan, "Chief, do you dare to catch a few slugs for Miss He to enjoy?" β
Lin Zaishan Road: "Piece of cake." β
He Annie felt strange in the face of Lin Zaishan, who was wearing a mask and had lost his memory, speech and demeanor, and temperament, but did not recognize that this was the guy he had been thinking about for a long time. She listened to the dialogue between Wang Chengba and Lin Zaishan, and judged that they had a lot of bragging elements, so she stopped, "I'll talk about the slugs later." Let me inform you of the third purpose of our visit, according to the results of our latest reconnaissance, there are already a number of Zerg dens in the southeast, and their numbers are approaching their peak, and they will inevitably attack the settlements in the near future. Due to the general lack of experience and capacity to fight the Zerg in the various settlements, we in Midtown are willing to provide shelter, provided that you are willing to move to Midtown as soon as possible. β
"Relocation? Are you persuading us to give up Guicheng? Wang Chengba asked, "I can't obey this point!" β
He Annie warned, "With Guicheng's defensive ability, if you don't move, you will only be destroyed by the Zerg." β
"It's not bothering you, Miss He!"
"In that case, we don't force it." He Annie said, "In the moment of crisis when you are besieged by the Zerg, as long as you can pay enough compensation, we in Midtown are still willing to provide all forms of assistance. β
"We'll talk about that later. If Miss He has nothing to do, she might as well stay here for a few days, the scenery of our Guicheng is still good, and there are many handsome guys. Wang Chengba stroked his two mustaches and said.
He Annie ignored Wang Chengba's "autumn waves" and asked, "Can we borrow this chief as a half-day tour guide?" β
"No problem!" Wang Chengba didn't ask Lin Zaishan himself for advice, so he directly promised.
"Good." "It's 13:15, we will leave Guicheng at 17:00, please lead us to catch slugs now." β
Lin Zaishan asked, "Are you sure you're all ready?" You should know that the place you go to is dirty and dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be infected, and once you are infected, there is basically no chance of survival. β
"You don't have to worry about this, we have our own way of dealing with it, you just need to take us to a place where there are slugs."
"Have you brought the tools and utensils for catching and holding slugs? Don't tell me you're going to carry it on your shoulders. β
He Annie didn't answer, but asked Wang Cheng to be domineering; "Are the people in Guicheng so mother-in-law?"
Wang Chengba hurriedly waved his hand to signal Lin Zaishan to shut up, and said with a smile: "Our people in Guicheng are hospitable and concise, this guy is new and uneducated. He ordered Lin Zaishan to say, "You will catch slugs with Miss He later!" Be sure to protect Miss He's personal safety, otherwise I will castrate you. β
Anne Ho asked, "Why stay a little longer?" β
Wang Chengba explained with a smile, "Miss He, your arrival is a major event that has caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry for us in Guicheng, so we must take a group photo." Come, everyone stand together. That who, remember to shoot my most handsome angle! β
