Chapter 11: The Spirit of Rice
Smoke billowed everywhere, and from time to time sparks drifted by, and a sultry smell of coke spread through the air.
Ning Chuan wrinkled his nose and walked on the land full of corpses of the black blood clan, facing the tragic scene of the corpses and bones in front of him, his mouth let out a tsk that he didn't know whether it was admiration or exclamation, and then looked at the side, Mazi was jumping forward with a surprised sound of "yaw" from time to time, and the barefoot girl walked on the hot earth like a stroll through the flowers, looking innocent and untouched, as if she was far from the previous queen of terror.
Looking at the heavily refined girl who could marvel at the bones of the black blood clan for a long time, and had no sense of guilt that she should have as the initiator, Ning Chuan sighed silently in his heart.
"Pockmark."
"Huh!"
"Didn't you say that intelligent auxiliary devices are not too powerful, as an outlier among these devices, can you explain why?" Ning Chuan suddenly remembered what Mazi had said to him before.
"The Iron Hammer Commander was worried that you would hang up halfway through the mission, so he specially fused me with the military ground-to-ground suppression matrix, and the body and hands were combined to invoke these devices before, but now it's okay," Asako said lightly.
Ning Chuan's impression of the iron hammer suddenly changed greatly, and this woman had a heart.
"She said earlier, I've been worried about it for so long, and I'm still afraid of it with a large mobile weapon by my side." Ning Chuan suddenly became confident.
"Actually...... Ning Chuan, you don't have to rely on me alone, this simulation of yours is the Imperial Standing Mobile Arsenal, as long as you adapt to this body, once the function is opened, it will definitely be stronger than me," Mazi still looked innocent, but he was not ambiguous at all when he spoke.
"Mobile arsenal?" Ning Chuan was shocked, and suddenly thought of some kind of intelligent mechanical life that could be transformed into different car types by a few feet tall, and suddenly his body shook, Transformers wouldn't be his own evolution in the future, right?
Then he looked down at his body, but his face was full of disbelief, how strong can his body be after retching for a long time after hitchhiking? It doesn't look like he's carrying a weapon.
"Some of Odin's weapons are compressed in your body, and you can use them as long as you master how to use them, but most of them are placed in the dimensional space of this body, and you can't take them out if you don't have permission." Seeing Ning Chuan's doubts, Mazi explained.
"Isn't my authority the highest in the world?" Ning Chuan was stunned, he was a man who was on a par with the commander - the Inspector, who else had higher authority than him?
"The commander is afraid that you don't understand the function of the weapon and use it indiscriminately, so he has set up two sets of authority, which must be approved by the supervision envoy and the commander at the same time," Mazi stuck out his little tongue.
“……”
In the next half an hour, Ning Chuan kept chattering as if he was infected by pockmarks, his current state was like his favorite toy was locked in an iron box, and the key to the iron box was in the hands of the iron hammer, could this resentment not be big?
Until Mako's voice suddenly sounded.
"Ning Chuan, have you ever smelled a very good smell, it's so fragrant," Mazi shook his little nose.
Listening to what Mazi said, Ning Chuan was relieved from the chatter, and at the same time, he smelled a slightly sweet fragrance, and even saw a faint white aroma floating in the forest.
Is this - the smell of rice?
Ning Chuan's brows moved, the aroma of rice was very strong, as if someone had made another pot of extra-large porridge, the taste was too great, and it also aroused his appetite.
Looking at the shiny glasses of Mazi on the side, needless to say, it is clear that this girl who is full of curiosity about everything when she first arrives is also attracted.
"Detection of special gas components: seventylpyrroline, GLV...... which have been detected as pure volatile gases from cooking fragrant rice, non-toxic...... Hmm...... "Mazi was about to say it seriously, but Ning Chuan covered his mouth.
Although the intentions are good, this girl is purely torturous when she says things that no one understands.
was forcibly interrupted by Ning Chuan in mechanical mode, Mazi seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and her big smart eyes revealed her curiosity about the source of the fragrance of the mystery, and she directly turned on the tracking mode and followed.
Sure enough, Ning Chuan's judgment was correct, and the two followed the fragrance all the way to a clearing in the dense forest, and saw a huge boiler standing in the middle of the woodland from a distance, as well as boiling white porridge that was rumbling in the furnace.
"The aroma of rice here has increased exponentially, and it is very easy to trigger appetite," Mazi subconsciously judged, and then raised his eyes to look at Ning Chuan, "Do you want to eat?" ”
"You're a foodie, someone is here, what about the monitoring mode, and you forgot everything when you saw the meal?" Ning Chuan couldn't help but give the girl a brain breakdown, which caused the latter to hug his head and mutter.
Around the white porridge the size of the water tank in the center of the clearing, there is a circle of life forms that are different from the black blood group, how to say it, humanoid, the vital signs are more inclined to goblins, or elves, the skin is white and pure, but it is not miserable white, but a gentle white, as if it also emits a faint white light, which seems to be a little sacred.
However, the eyes of this group of people now look like starving ghosts and reincarnate really destroy their due sacredness, especially a few children, who directly reached out to eat white porridge from the hot pot.
Ning Chuan looked at the group of people in front of him dumbfounded, it seemed that these people were the glutinous rice group that King Odin said.
"The white glow, the pointed ears and green pupils, the breath molecules that emanate into the air, the state of the blood, and the genetic fragments captured around the woodland are exactly the same. That's right, it's the glutinous rice group, "It's worthy of auxiliary equipment, it's praise, Ning Chuan gave Mazi who didn't drop the chain a look of approval, which caused the latter to smirk with satisfaction.
But it is clear that Mazi actually dropped the chain, and the latter's smirk was not silenced at all.
"Who?" The glutinous rice group moved one after another, and with a wave of their hands, they threw a handful of hot white porridge over.
"There is danger to the Lord," Asako exclaimed, just about to turn on Queen Mode.
Whoa!
The two were splashed with white porridge.
"Hot hot ......" Ning Chuan shivered violently, and the exposed positions on his hands and feet made a rattling sound, and the line was stuck with porridge.
"The Inspector is attacked by an unknown force, and the automatic de-escalation of the Civilizational Confrontation Regulations is avoided, and the Sky Matrix... Woo...... "As soon as Mazi was about to have a seizure, she was covered by a pair of hands stained with white liquid (did I think too much)?"
……
In a simple glutinous rice man's shed.
"I'm sorry, Lord Inspector," the leader of the Nuomi tribe, Viar, looked embarrassed and ashamed at the moment, and half-knelt down, "We have been hiding everywhere for the past few days, and our nerves are a little allergic, so I ask for your forgiveness for your offense." ”
After Ning Chuan and Mazi revealed the identity of the supervision envoy and the support regulations signed by King Odin himself, this group of glutinous rice natives still wanted to be tortured, but fortunately, their leader had worked in the palace, so they did not embarrass the two, after knowing their identities, the two were treated well by this group of nervous white elves, after all, with the appearance of the two, they could not fight with the ugly black blood group.
"It's easy to say," Ning Chuan looked kind, but the pockmarks behind him were resentful, and kept choosing the rice grains that had begun to dry on the nightdress, and several glutinous rice women also helped her choose together.
"Please also ask the Inspector to accept our sincerest apology," Vial took a bowl of shiny white porridge from the large boiler behind him and placed it in front of Ning Chuan's eyes, and then took a few steps back respectfully.
"This is the etiquette of the glutinous rice people to apologize, the glutinous rice civilization in the ** world to say that cooking is absolutely top, and the food they cook is the top healing medicine, almost can heal most of the injuries, even the psychological trauma has some curative effect, staying in the stomach world is their best choice, at the same time, the white porridge also represents their most sincere apology, not drinking is disrespectful to people, as for why, I'll tell you later," Mazi reminded Ning Chuan in his mind.
The girl also sells off.
How could Ning Chuan refuse the food in front of him, although it was just a bowl of porridge, but it magically mobilized all the appetite of his robot, and he couldn't help but be speechless.
Vial watched Ning Chuan eat all the porridge without any leftovers, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Ning Chuan also noticed that after he drank the porridge, the glutinous rice tribe also snatched up a jar of rice porridge like crazy, which made him can't help but be surprised by the popularity of foodies in this group, and the water tank was left at the bottom.
"Can you say it now?" Ning Chuan asked Asako.
"Vial, what about the rest of your people, are they all here?" Mazi didn't answer Ning Chuan directly, but turned his head to ask Viaal.
This is also a matter of concern to Ning Chuan, before he came, he heard Odin say that the glutinous rice civilization may be destroyed, and he also thought about whether he could gather some people to help him attack the black blood group together, but fortunately, the actual situation was better.
"This ...... I don't know, maybe, the attack of the black blood tribe did not give us time to breathe at all, most of the tribe died in the flames, only those of us escaped," Vial looked painful when he was mentioned in the sore spot.
"But fortunately, we saved most of the babies in the clan, they are our hope, and we hope that our glutinous rice civilization will not perish."
What a glutinous rice civilization, Ning Chuan grinned secretly, no matter how serious the topic is, as long as the word glutinous rice is added, it will always dilute some of the atmosphere.
"What about them?" He looked around, and all he saw was a few half-grown children.
"Here," Speaking of this, Viaer's face was gentle, and he cautiously opened the white porridge to the bottom, Ning Chuan poked his head suspiciously, and found a very tightly arranged layer of smooth glutinous rice underneath the white porridge.
Each one is the size of a fist.
"What is this?" Ning Chuan wondered.
Vial looked proud: "This is our hope, in order to speed up the growth of these children, I put them in a pot to cook, so that the cooked rice will be more fragrant." ”
"To add, glutinous rice people are oviparous, and when they are cooked, they are born," Mazi added in Ning Chuan's mind, with a gloating look, this girl must have done it on purpose, definitely.
Ning Chuan's noodles turned white in an instant, "In other words, this is how the porridge I drank just now was cooked, your... Child? ”
His mind began to crumble, and King Odin, who was thousands of miles away, suddenly found that the image of consciousness on the crystal ball was brilliant like a hundred flowers.
"Not really, it's just ordinary rice," Vyal didn't notice the change in Ning Chuan's mood, and was still fantasizing about the future of the glutinous rice tribe with relish.
"But it is unknown whether there are some children's feces and urine farts in the white porridge, as well as placenta and amniotic fluid, glutinous rice people soak children in rice jars to cook rice, I heard that the rice produced by this is particularly fragrant, and the glutinous rice country has also adopted a zero-tariff bill on rice for major civilizations, but most civilizations have stayed away from this ethnic group," Mazi's voice sounded again.
Dead girl!
Ning Chuan just glared at the pockmarked with a snickering face, and then his stomach turned over for a while, his eyes scattered, and a feeling of nausea worse than motion sickness came up.
"Vomit ......"
"What's the matter, Lord Overseer?"
"Oh, it's not adaptable."
