Chapter Seventy-Five: One of the Spoils of War
After leaving the underground workshop, Wang Ye saw the stars in the sky, and under the stars, a familiar old man.
"Old Zhao?" Wang Ye looked at the old man in surprise and greeted him with a smile.
Although I thought that I would meet the Zhao family, I really didn't expect to meet Zhao Zhiru himself.
"Since you're here...... Your son is awake?"
Zhao Zhiru said: "Yes, I just woke up last night, and then I started to take over the work this morning, working harder than before, saying that I wanted to atone for my willfulness." β
Wang Ye smiled: "That's good, you can finally let go completely." β
"Ah, since even his willfulness this time can be tolerated, there is nothing to worry about next. Except for Li Yue's weakness, Daizong has surpassed me in other aspects, and now that even the only weakness has been overcome, I have no reason not to let go. β
Zhao Zhiru said and patted Wang Ye on the shoulder: "Have a drink together?"
"Not interested. Wang Ye dusted off his shoulder in disgust.
"Then let's go for a walk together, just take a walk with me, an old man, and by the way, I have something for you. β
Wang Ye thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "Black card?"
Zhao Zhiru said with a smile: "Yes, I have promised you and Nagato's Void Chamber of Commerce black card a long time ago, but I haven't had time to hand it over to you before, and if I don't hand it over now, I'm afraid you will all have to leave Tonghai." β
"Nagato is gone?"
"Just last night, it seemed like something was urgent. Before leaving, I left you a message inviting you to Sakurajima as a guest. β
Wang Ye nodded, noncommittal.
Zhao Zhiru said: "I personally recommend that you go to Sakurajima for a while. This side of Huaxia. The situation can be tense for a while. After all, your role in the incident is too conspicuous, and Gu Nancy's death. I'm afraid that the truth will never come out, let alone rehabilitate you. β
Wang Ye smiled mockingly. No comment.
In fact, after He Yuanshen was arrested, the connection between him and Xiao Yueming was completely exposed, and the plan to assassinate Gu Nancy naturally could not be concealed. Therefore, the high-level officials of Huaxia have long known who the real murderer of Gu Nancy is, and they know that Wang Ye is not an agent of the Seventh Bureau at all, and there is only Xiao Yueming in the Seventh Bureau, not Wang Yueming.
But by now, the truth has long been unimportant, with the CIA 6 Bureau. The CIA has made great efforts in Tonghaixing, and with the Zhao family using various means to turn the clouds and rain, even Gu Nancy has gradually become a thing of the past, who else cares about a Wang Yueming?
Now people only have interests in their eyes, and as for the truth, it is really worthless.
What's more, Wang Ye, as a wild species, will run sooner or later after exposing his whereabouts in front of everyone. The attitude of the Chinese people towards wild species has always been the most severe among all countries. Wang Ye didn't want to provoke a master like Zhao Dongyang to chase and kill him.
"However, this is still the territory of the Zhao family after all. If you like, you can also stay here for a while, and I would like to express an infinite welcome on behalf of the Zhao family. β
"Oh, are we on good terms?"
"No matter what, you have done the Zhao family a great favor. Zhao Zhiru said. glanced at Wang Ye, "It's not just a conspiracy that ruined the Seventh Bureau...... I would also like to thank you for avenging Nancy Gu. General Gu and I have been rivals for life, but I never thought that he would die so inexplicably. β
Wang Ye sneered: "Yes." But I heard that you organized an assassination attempt against Gu Nancy back then. β
"Haha, maybe it's because I'm older. People have also become hypocritical. But in short, in this matter, the Zhao family owes you a great favor. β
"Excuse me. Your political family's understanding of kindness has always been different from ordinary people, and I don't want to be sent by you to serve me to eat bread one day......" Wang Ye said with disgust, "Okay, give me the card of the Void Chamber of Commerce, and then we will part ways." β
"Take it. β
Zhao Zhiru happily handed over a black card to Wang Ye.
The Void Chamber of Commerce Black Card, with this card, you can open trade with the Void Chamber of Commerce and buy all the treasures in the world. Legend has it that the headquarters of the Void Chamber of Commerce is located in the Dark Star Field, and there is a large amount of dark heritage in the Chamber of Commerce's treasury. For wild super soldiers, the Void Chamber of Commerce's black card is invaluable.
And this priceless black card looks mediocre, very similar to the magnetic card of the era of the home planet hundreds of years ago. The card surface is pure black, and the material is similar to plastic. Wang Ye took it in his hand, pinched both ends and broke it hard, which was enough to break the huge force of the iron pillar, but it did not make the black card half-fractal.
"It's the real thing...... A card made of an unnamed substance, the Void Chamber of Commerce is the only one. β
Zhao Zhiru sighed: "The Void Chamber of Commerce is indeed one of the most mysterious organizations in the world, the Zhao family has been operating in Tonghai for more than a hundred years, and it can barely be regarded as a first-class power in human society, but the understanding of the Void Chamber of Commerce is still limited. We have been dealing with them for decades, and there are tens of billions of trade every year, but we only have these two black cards in our hands. β
"Oh, and you're still giving both away so lightly?"
"These two cards were actually given to me by Mr. Sun in his early years, and now I give them to Mr. Sun's apprentice, so I guess they will be returned to their original owners. What's more, with these two black cards, the Zhao family has already established a deep cooperative relationship with the Void Chamber of Commerce, but there is no need for black cards to maintain the trade route. β
Zhao Zhiru said, stretched out his hand and stopped an unmanned taxi: "Since I said this, why don't I take you to meet the people of the Void Chamber of Commerce." Otherwise, it will be difficult to make a transaction with just a black card. β
ββ
Half an hour later, the taxi took Wang Ye and Zhao Zhiru to a community on the northernmost side of Haifan Island, and then stopped at the door of a barbecue restaurant.
"This is it. Zhao Zhiru pushed the door in, and a choking smoke came to his face......
Zhao Zhiru said with a smile: "The selling point here is retro, and the cooking methods used are all from the era of the home planet, so even the barbecue pollution from the era of the mother planet has been retained." For those who live on the artificial island of Tonghaixing, these are precious spices of life. β
While explaining, Zhao Zhiru gestured to the waiter who greeted him at the door. So the young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, enthusiastically led the two around the crowded hall. Come to a box with a sign on the Wonder Pavilion.
Zhao Zhiru skillfully ordered several kinds of barbecue, and the waiter reflexively exited the box with the menu. A moment later. An unusually stout chef walked in with a food cart.
This chef is 1.8 meters tall and has a waist circumference of about 1.8 meters, but his shoulders are very broad, and the whole person looks like a square. He was dressed in a snow-white chef's suit, with a seal on his chest, which was written on Lu Daohang, and three gold were dazzling...... The chef stood next to the oven and suddenly took up a large part of the space in the box, making it look crowded.
It's just this maverick look. Wang Ye was sure that this person was the contact person of the Void Chamber of Commerce, but after this person came in, he didn't say a word, and meticulously made a barbecue for the two of them, roasting pieces of fresh and tender meat slices to a golden color and spilling out of fat.
Zhao Zhiru said: "Lao Lu, I'm not here to eat this time...... I have a new guest to introduce to you. β
As a result, before he finished speaking, Chef Lu stretched out a slap that was bigger than his face and interrupted Zhao Zhiru's words.
"When cooking. I don't want to think about anything else. β
Zhao Zhiru sighed: "You guy is too deep in the drama as a chef, right? It's just a profession to hide your identity, and you have spent more time in this Strange Taste Pavilion over the years than you have spent in the Chamber of Commerce." β
Lu Daohang: "Business is nothing more than making money, but cooking contains avenues. Which is more important can be judged by any normal person. β
Zhao Zhiru had no choice but to let Lu Daohang be busy by the oven.
Wang Ye was not in a hurry. His eyes were fixed on the barbecue on the stove, focused and serious.
Zhao Zhiru said with a smile: "Although Chef Lu is essentially a businessman. But this one-handed cooking skill is not comparable in the entire Tonghai. It's this simple one-hand barbecue that makes it more unique than any other home. β
said. The old man took a piece of roasted meat, put it in a dipping bowl, rolled it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"It's still the same taste. β
Wang Ye didn't rush to move his chopsticks: "This master, just now you said that there is a great way in cooking, may I ask if your great way is Asian meat cuisine?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Daohang's hand stopped, his eyes glowed, and he looked straight at Wang Ye.
Zhao Zhiru was also stunned, chewed half of the meat slice in his mouth, his throat was infarcted, and he couldn't swallow it.
"You haven't tasted it yet, you can see it just by looking at it?" Lu Daohang asked.
"Of course, I can see that before I was ten years old, I was tired of eating this stuff. Wang Ye smiled, "But it's rare to see subhuman flesh above M9 like this, and Tonghaixing is hundreds of light-years away from the Dark Star Domain, and your subhuman flesh still has this kind of freshness, which is beyond my imagination." The Void Chamber of Commerce, the first chamber of commerce in the human world, really lives up to its name. β
Lu Daohang laughed and patted Zhao Zhiru's shoulder with that iron-clad slap: "Lao Zhao, you really brought me a good interesting guest this time." β
Zhao Zhiru had a bitter face and swallowed reluctantly: "The subhuman flesh you are talking about, should it be ......?"
"It's the flesh and blood of those things that have been completely deformed into monsters after being infected by the radiation energy of the Dark Star Field, which is often seen on the periphery of the Dark Star Field, and it is very common on the side of the Wandering Star Field. β
Zhao Zhiru's face changed suddenly.
Of course he had heard of that kind of thing, once a man, but then a monster, and reason was completely chaotic, extremely irritable, more dangerous than a beast. And because of the special energy radiation, subhumans often have some strange abilities, and a very small number of special individuals even have abilities close to those of super soldiers.
And this Lu Daohang actually uses the flesh and blood of subhumans to make dishes!?
"Oh, don't be so nervous, although those things are called subhumans, they have nothing to do with humans for a long time, human flesh is just a seedbed for incubating subhumans, what's wrong with eating their flesh and blood for unintelligent beasts? Lao Zhao, you have eaten in this Strange Taste Pavilion for so many years, haven't you found that your body function is far superior to ordinary people? β
Zhao Zhiru's lips trembled, but fortunately, the city government of the hero still made him suppress the instinctive disgust in his heart.
Lu Daohang said with some disdain: "It's a waste for you to eat these high-quality ingredients for so many years for someone who doesn't understand deliciousness." β
"Still. This young guest, you said you were tired of eating Asian flesh before you were ten years old?"
Wang Ye said: "I used to travel in the Wandering Star Domain for a long time. For a while, I even had to eat subhuman meat as a staple food...... So, I'm half an expert when it comes to eating subhuman flesh. However, compared with Master Lu's craftsmanship, he has to bow down, and the pretreatment of these two meat steaks is quite skillful, and it should be the rare element of No. 19, right?"
"Hahahaha, it's rare, it's really rare!" Lu Daohang's eyes narrowed with laughter, "I've been running the Strange Flavor Pavilion in Tonghai for decades, and you're the only one who can tell the truth, just by virtue of this fate." I'm going to give you a special gift today, and I'll pick it up in the storeroom later. β
After speaking, Lu Daohang stopped cooking, wiped his hands with his apron, and reflexively walked out of the box.
Wang Ye unceremoniously turned the barbecue steak on the oven with a shovel and an iron clip, enjoying himself.
Zhao Zhiru's eyelids jumped when he watched from the side, although he knew that subhuman meat was indeed a delicacy in the world, but he really couldn't convince himself to continue eating it...... Probably, people who have grown up on a civilized planet to this day. There is indeed a decisive difference between it and people who grew up in the wandering star field since childhood.
After a while, Lu Daohang, who is 1.8 meters tall and has a waist circumference of 1.8 meters, squeezed into the box, holding a dirty takeaway lunch box in his hand. Open the lid. A three-inch square, swarthy square was revealed.
Wang Ye's gaze suddenly locked on the cube, and the rhythm of his breathing became a little faster.
Lu Daohang smiled: "Good vision, this guest." Can you see where this thing came from?"
"Well, a natural module for super soldiers. And it is a grade A or higher quality...... 100% dark specialty, I'm afraid it is the same batch as the first batch of human tinder. You can even get this kind of thing. The Void Chamber of Commerce is really powerful. β
Lu Daohang said: "Our chamber of commerce deals in these rare materials, and there must always be something that can hold the faΓ§ade. However, a natural module of this level would not exceed ten pieces in the entire Void Chamber of Commerce's treasury. This is the only one I have in hand, and it is a veritable treasure of the town store of Qiwei Pavilion...... I thought I would never have a chance to trade it in my life, but I didn't expect to meet a guest like you. β
After a pause, Lu Daohang explained: "Of course, there are some ugly things I said in front. Although this natural module is not of a low grade, it is not truly a rare piece. First of all, it's just a function module, not a specialty module, and it can't help you get to the top in one step. Secondly, in the functional module, it is also a special module, and cannot be used in frontal combat. β
Wang Ye smiled: "Master, this is too modest. Any A-level or higher natural module is effective enough to run through the entire career of a super soldier from one star to six stars. Even if it is a functional module, it is better than a man-made specialty module. Among the functional modules, the rarest is the special module. Frontal combat abilities can be compensated for by equipment and tactics, but many of the rare skills granted by perks are irreplaceable. What's more, for wild species, no matter how strong the frontal combat ability is, it is not as strong as the superpower national super soldier, but it is not as practical as the special module. β
Lu Daohang smiled when he heard this: "It is worthy of being a person who knows goods, since this is the case, I am not hypocritical, let me briefly introduce the efficacy of this module." It has two main effects, the first is freedom and unrestrained. It is possible to ignore the Tinder Suppressor that humans have buried in the center of each colony, well, this feature may be a little early for you, but it will always be useful. The second, and most important, feature: impunity. As soon as you activate the module, you are entering another dimension. At this stage, it is impossible for any human instrument to detect your presence, and whatever you do will leave no trace. β
Hearing this, Wang Ye's eyes had already lit up.
What's even more rare is that after activating the module, the action will not leave any traces, which means that he can use the fire energy unscrupulously, without worrying about energy fluctuations being detected by the high-energy detector and attracting the encirclement and suppression of the national super soldiers. This is simply too useful for people who are accustomed to operating in civilized areas! Far more practical than any frontal combat equipment.
And freedom is just as rare. Although for a two-star warrior, the Tinder Suppressor seemed far away, Wang Ye didn't forget that on the Star Island, Zhao Tianhua used the Strong Energy Suppressor to directly abolish Nagato's martial arts!
For wild species, the biggest enemy, apart from the national super soldiers of various governments, is the power suppressor, once it is locked and released, it will immediately be disrupted and reduced to the same level as ordinary humans.
The two functions of this natural module are invaluable to Wang Ye. Although it is only a functional module, it will inevitably be limited by the consumption of fire energy when it is used, and it is difficult to take effect for a long time. But on the whole, it is no less than any god-level specialty module.
"Well, thank you. β
Wang Ye thanked him softly, then cautiously took the cube, played with it in his hand, felt the energy fluctuations faintly emanating from it, and then slapped it to his chest. The next moment, his body shook violently, and a trace of heat was stimulated from the pores of his body, causing the temperature of the entire box to rise by more than ten degrees in an instant, and it was even shrouded in a thick white mist.
After a while, the white fog was pumped away by the ventilation fan in the box, and the temperature in the box also returned to normal temperature. And in front of the dining table, Wang Ye's figure disappeared completely.
At the same time, Wang Ye felt as if he had entered a parallel world, he was obviously still sitting in his original position, but the people next to him couldn't see him at all and couldn't feel him, and even Zhao Zhiru reached out to him, and his palm passed through his chest!
Where is this invisible, it is clearly changing the way he exists, like a ghost! If it weren't for the energy change that would still affect him, this skill could be used as an invincible skill such as the Holy Shield Technique.
Such a miraculous effect has surpassed the scope of human technology, and it is indeed the legacy of the previous civilization of the Dark Star Domain......
Wang Ye was feeling the domineering of impunity, and suddenly felt the fire in his chest shrink and flutter, that is, in just a few minutes, his fire energy had been exhausted. And as the tinder shrank, the effect of impunity was suddenly interrupted, and Wang Ye returned to the box, feeling a little regretful.
Impunity is really domineering, but the consumption is just as domineering, and with his two-star fire level, it is difficult to use it for a long time.
However, for a person who can play, a few minutes is enough time to do a lot of things, and the value of natural modules does not decrease because of this.
