640, a terrifying test (I)
Gu Tao thinks that Karui ...... No, it's called Arco now. There must be something wrong with his memory, as for what the problem is, he doesn't know, after all, the brain is too sophisticated, and the brain technology of the home planet has almost no surviving information to query, so Gu Tao doesn't know what the problem is.
How did this such a grumpy gorilla become a tease?
"Daddy, is he the helper you are talking about?"
"Well, Karui is a warm-hearted child."
Okay, so far, the first person with super-planetary combat power, there will be no problem, he is basically the invincible hero, the kind of invincible actor who may not even be able to win by Xin Chen, and Donghuang Taiyi will definitely not be able to beat him.
However, from this point of view, Gu Tao suddenly felt that he might have touched the ceiling of the laws of this world, that is, the stronger the single combat power, the more serious the problem of the brain, Ake and Xin Chen are like this, the phoenix is like this, the dragon king is like this, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi may also be like this. I don't know if it's a relationship between thinking circuits, it's not normal anyway.
On the contrary, people like themselves and the Red Devil have very average single combat effectiveness, but their brains are very useful. But this is probably normal, after all, if you are a weak chicken and have to struggle to survive in this terrible world, then you will inevitably look forward and think about it, and an existence like theirs, a thousand words gathered into a sentence "You can't beat me" is enough to solve more than 90% of the world's problems.
So if the problem can be solved so easily, who would think about it? In time...... Naturally, it degraded.
The Dragon King and Taiyi may be even better, after all, they have to manage the eating, drinking, and Lazar of a large number of people, but when it is the turn of a person like Phoenix Xiaofeng Xinchen Kalu, in fact, the brain can be completely degenerated, okay.
They weren't stupid, although Kalu, who was called a grumpy gorilla, wasn't stupid, after all, he had received a systematic higher education and was able to control a spaceship independently.
Xin Chen is not stupid, he can tell fortunes, draw talismans, and criticize hexagrams, which is quite an all-powerful kind.
The reason why they have become like this is theoretically the result of their unwillingness to use their brains.
Of course, Xiaofeng is really stupid, it may be caused by consanguineous marriage or parthenogenesis.
"Be careful yourselves. Karui, you are also a person who has a girlfriend now, you can't mess around, you have to know to protect your father, remember? β
"Uh-huh."
Gu Tao chatted with him and his father for a long time, like a parent in menopause preaching to a child who was about to go away, and the father shook his head when he heard it, but Karui sat there quietly like a primary school student who was reprimanded by the head teacher, and the irascible gorilla in the past.
"Karui, go back first."
Daddy asked him to go first, and he immediately ran away with a banana in his arms.
Gu Tao looked at his back: "I thought the banana was bought for you......"
"He eats it himself." Daddy said, suddenly frowning: "I think something is wrong with him." β
"You feel it too?"
"Hmm." Dad nodded: "The change of the underlying logical memory has led to a great change in the temperament of the whole person. β
"You mean...... Tifa did something? β
Dad raised his head to look at Gu Tao, and suddenly smiled: "Who else can there be besides her." β
Not...... Gu Tao thinks that Tifa can indeed do this kind of thing, she has her own ideas, although there is no need to doubt her loyalty, but her loyalty is the entire centaur civilization she is facing, and she has no concept of leader, because she is also a royal family. This can be seen from her attitude towards Gu Tao and her younger brother, she has always regarded Gu Tao as a younger brother and not as an emperor, and her feelings for her younger brother are also very subtle.
This can be seen from the difference from Xiuling, Xiuling is a typical apprentice as a daughter, since she has a few apprentices, she doesn't come out to harass Gu Tao. Although I usually teach it, I should beat it up, but it's generally very doting.
Those little rabbit cubs were about to dismantle the Kunlun Hall, but the spirit cultivation was not taken seriously at all, and even the beard of a Kunlun elder was burned and said that it was okay, it was okay, the reason was that everyone thought that several apprentices of the spirit cultivation were her own children.
But Tifa is different, does she have feelings for her brother? Gu Tao thinks that there is, but the starting point of her feelings is different, she is more inclined to teach an emperor who is more suitable for inheriting the centaur civilization than Gu Tao. None of the knowledge received by the younger brother is useless, and all of them are very targeted.
It can be seen that Tifa intends to revive the centaur civilization, and if Gu Tao has no children, even Tifa will sacrifice himself and never give up without making an heir.
To put it mildly, in her eyes, Gu Tao is a younger brother from a personal point of view, and from a civilization point of view, he is just a bloodline transfer station and a tool man. If these two identities are asked to choose one of Tifa, Tifa will not hesitate to treat him as a tool, even if his consciousness dies and a body is left to retain his genes.
Or...... It doesn't matter if you're dead, just make another one manually.
"I'm actually a little uncomfortable thinking about that."
"Nothing." Dad patted Gu Tao on the shoulder: "Everyone has their own mission, as long as you go towards your goal, no one else has anything to do with you." β
"Actually, you know, before you were resurrected, I had the impression that Sister Tifa was almost perfect. She is beautiful, gentle, kind, and intelligent, and she has all the advantages of the world alone. β
"You, naΓ―ve."
"yes, naΓ―ve." Gu Tao tilted his head and smiled: "But it doesn't matter, the distinction between public and private is one of my major characteristics." She is not wrong, the centaur civilization is a great and glorious civilization, it will never and cannot die, it is true that someone needs to revive it, this is a particularly great thing, but great things are destined to have sacrifices, she chose to sacrifice herself, gave up all the enjoyment to complete it, and even gave up her own life, we have no right to interfere with her. β
"I understand, it's just that she's going to be dangerous."
"I believe her." Gu Tao got up and stretched: "Daddy, I'll go back first, and tell me as soon as something happens in the future." β
"Hmm."
"Don't keep dancing with old ladies, the old man won't be happy."
"Got it, got it."
Gu Tao was a little lonely when he left, and Dad could see it, but Dad knew very well that the little guy had grown up a long time ago, and he knew that many things were not what he wanted, maybe things had developed to this point, his luck was not bad, but it was just not bad, because with what he mastered, it was not impossible to get better. But...... Isn't this just that the heavens don't follow people's wishes?
After leaving from his father, Gu Tao did not go directly to the base, but bought a lot of things to see Xiaofeng, this stupid girl was actually sleeping at this point, the TV was still on, and the person was lying there on the sofa and fell asleep, after getting her to bed, Gu Tao felt that she was idle, so he went to Yun Zhongzi's bar, and planned to drink a few glasses.
Pushing open the door of the bar, because it was a weekday, there was almost no one, and he sat down on the bar: "Ten cups of tequila sunrise." β
After he finished speaking, he sat down and started to play with his mobile phone, and at this time, a person slowly walked out from behind, and he looked Gu Tao up and down: "Young man, come to do something?" β
Hearing this voice, Gu Tao almost fell off the barstool, he raised his head: "Your Majesty ......"
The person who came out was none other than Donghuang Taiyi, he was wearing a bartender's uniform, holding a glass in his hand, his middle-aged face was himself in a high position for a long time, and the self-evident extravagance on his body was very dizzying, coupled with this yuppie and yuppie dress, no wonder Gu Tao found that the few guests were actually little girls.
"Shh
Taiyi raised his finger towards Gu Tao: "Gu was a little tired, so he changed with Yun Zhongjun, he went to be the emperor of heaven, and I came to be the little second." β
Thirty-three days is so casual? But is that really good? Taiyi is the emperor, will he go to serve people?
At this time, the guest not far away raised his hand: "Boss, have a cup of Long Island ice." β
"Wait a minute."
Tai Mian began to mix cocktails with a cold face, and then handed a bottle of whiskey to Gu Tao: "Drink it yourself." β
Gu Tao poured himself a glass of wine, and then watched Taiyi's skillful bartending throughout the whole process, which didn't seem to be the first time to be a bartender.
"Lone has opened the stove in the back, do you want to try Lone's craft?"
Ha?
Before Gu Tao could speak, Taiyi had already taken out a small plate of fried leaves-like things and handed it to Gu Tao: "Try it." β
Gu Tao picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and immediately the salty fragrance rippled in his mouth, as well as a mint fragrance and a faint bitter taste, concentrated and complex conflict-filled flavors rippled in his mouth, and a large amount of saliva immediately rippled in his originally dry mouth, and Gu Tao hurriedly took a sip of wine.
Well! Awesome!
This complex taste not only does not weaken the taste of the wine itself, but also masks the unique pungent taste of alcohol, leaving people with a fragrant taste and feeling the mellow smell that really belongs to the wine.
"That's good."
However, after taking a sip of wine, Gu Tao found that the decoration here had changed, the ambiguous and dull tone that originally belonged to the gay bar had been replaced by a large orange warm light, the whole room was warmed, and the customers' tables were still lined with different side dishes, which looked quite Japanese.
Reside...... Izakaya?
"This time you did a good job, Lone will reward you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"You deserve it, but today is a lonely vacation, so I won't talk about business. I have told the king of the clouds to do the reward. After Taiyi finished speaking, he turned to the back: "I'll try Lone's craft later." β
In fact, Gu Tao was a little nervous, such a big guy...... Is it a hobby to be a cook? What kind of grass is this? The Emperor of Heaven! In the myths and legends of the 5,000-year-old civilization, his ability and status are definitely the players who can squeeze into the top 20.
However, Gu Tao thought about it, it is probably a kind of luck to be able to eat the food made by the Emperor himself in this life, no matter what his identity is, in short...... It's really remarkable.
After a while, Taiyi took a small bamboo basket from behind and walked out, and put things in front of Gu Tao, which were full of some fried things, and a few things that could not be named, which really looked like Japanese food, but Gu Tao could see at a glance that this big brother was really an ancient method, an explosive made by an ancient method. And it is the most extravagant kind, a chopsticks down the aroma with the heat steaming all over the room, the aroma is fragrant.
"Your Majesty, this is too rich."
"Dogwood-chan."
Taiyi didn't talk nonsense, just took a plate of dogwood sauce and put it in front of Gu Tao: "Eat it." β
Gu Tao took a sip of wine, picked up a piece of meatloaf with chopsticks, dipped some dogwood sauce and put it in his mouth.
When the initial heat subsides, the gravy of the beef bursts in the mouth, accompanied by a very special aroma of herbs, which immediately makes the food that should be greasy refreshing.
As the saying goes, salted fish is light on meat. The spice taste of this meat is very light, even the salt is very little, only a faint salty taste, but the taste of the food itself is therefore infinitely amplified, after a sip of satisfaction, and then drink a sip of spicy wine, the taste level is upgraded for the second time, the fat between the lips and teeth is mixed with the taste of the wine, a mouthful of turbid breath exhales, from the tongue to the stomach for a burst of comfort, even if you have already eaten, but still feel unfinished.
Gu Tao couldn't wait to pour the wine, and put a piece of something that looked like tofu into his mouth, because there was no messy breadcrumbs or the like, so it was crispy skin in one bite, and under the crispy and fragrant skin, Gu Tao actually tasted the taste of fish. The fish is in stark contrast to the beef just now, which has a light taste and a mellow taste. The fish meat is made of minced fish mixed with multiple spices, Guanggutao eats the taste of pepper, thyme, cloves, tarragon, basil, pine and parsley, stimulating but not conflicting, the taste is diverse but does not cover up the taste of the fish itself, there is no other smell in the nasal cavity after a mouthful, all are the smell of food, which instantly makes people appetite.
Getting up and taking a bottle of vodka from the bar, Gu Tao poured himself a glass, mixed the residual taste in his mouth, and drank it in one gulp. Then the smell of wine came up with the smell of spices in his stomach, and rushed straight to his head, making him shiver uncontrollably.
"Tsk......" Gu Tao closed his eyes vigorously and said that he felt refreshed all over his body: "Ha......"
Then pick up the third thing, this is a sausage, I thought that the sausage was plain but there is something else in it, a mouthful, the hot soup flows out, followed by a burst of seafood taste, after tasting it again and again, he found that this is actually a seafood sausage, which uses wine to lock the flavor, the surface of the casing is tough but the seafood inside is tender and fresh, and the taste of the sea is sprayed out after biting.
"This goes with beer!"
Gu Tao muttered to himself, and then picked up a bottle of Calitte's dark beer from the bar, the dark beer has a high degree and is sweet, and the taste of barley is stronger, and the taste is more single than ordinary yellow beer, but with this kind of original seafood that locks the juice completely locked by the casing, it is simply seamless, and it can be called a must.
Just as Gu Tao kept changing wine and eating, Taiyi came out again: "How?" β
"Hmm!" Gu Tao hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded again and again: "This is also too delicious." Your Majesty, you are a top-notch chef. β
"It's just a little trick to carve insects." Taiyi chuckled: "It's just a small interest, and it can't be put on the stage." β
"But it's so delicious, are you busy?"
"Lonely and fateful, if you think of it, you can open a store and close it if you can't think of it, and there are few customers, but some are also regular customers."
Yes, food of this quality, one is not cheap, and the other is ......
"Thirty-five!" Gu Tao was about to jump up: "Your Majesty, your portion of that seafood sausage is only thirty-five?" It's better than Michelin, you thirty-five? How much is it enough? β
"It's all home-brought, it's not worth much. Besides, is Lone a person who is short of money? β
Home-bred ...... What a big breath, Your Majesty, in the eyes of mortals, you are the fairy world. Thirty-five yuan to eat a fairy seafood sausage, cowhide ......
Looking at Gu Tao's surprised expression, Taiyi smiled disdainfully, turned around and served the dishes to the customers, and Gu Tao felt that he couldn't move anymore after eating the basket of food, and his head was still dizzy...... But it was really too satisfying, no one expected that the most delicious meal Gu Tao had ever eaten in his life was actually made by one of the bosses of the Earth Immortal Realm.
"Your Majesty, your craft...... Really, the five-body cast. I used to think that the food in the cartoon that glows gold when I take a bite is bragging, and I want to apologize to them. It's real......"
In the face of Gu Tao's compliment, Tai was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth had risen unconsciously.
"Okay, eat and drink enough, it's one of Lone's rewards for you, go back and prepare to listen to the seal."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Gu Tao stumbled away, and as soon as he left, Taiyi took a small notebook and walked to the side of the last table of guests, and said with a dead face: "Have you finished eating?" Hurry up if you haven't finished eating, do you have any comments? No quick checkout, lonely ...... I'm closing. β
"Boss, they're all familiar customers...... I'll add another order. β
"Get out."
And when Gu Tao staggered home in a drunken posture, at this time, the spy hacker lady in the United States asked for a one-line contact with him again, Gu Tao didn't say a word, but he didn't speak, after all, let his subordinates hear his drunken voice, the impact is very bad.
"Instructor, I intercepted a document that the Red Devils plan to build an experimental base in a no-man's land in the middle of the United States."
"He? Experimental base? β
Gu Tao immediately sobered up: "Is he sick?" What is the study? β
"Well, the document is unknown, and I will pass it on to you in full."
"Yes. By the way, did you find out who was playing against the Red Devils? β
"Not yet, he's also looking it up. But it is unclear whether the implication may be deep or wide. β
"Okay, take care to protect yourself."
"Understood."
After cutting off, Gu Tao sat on the curb of the road, and the smell of alcohol he had endured just now rushed to his head, and he couldn't help but vomit on the ground anymore, and then fell into the green belt and fell asleep......
