The sky is clear, the wind is smooth, and there are no clouds...... It's weird.

The sky was gray and unclear, the sun was obscured, and it was not clouds, but layers of volcanic ash.

In the distance, the Changbai Pass was still filled with surging black smoke, the volcanic ash flew into the sky and fell back to the ground, the wind blew, the air was no longer cool, and the smell of hot sulfur was full of nasal cavities.

Lu Mingfei snorted, a little glad that he had put on a mask when he went out, and was about to turn around and hand it to Gu Bei, but found that Gu Bei seemed to be fine, and even took a deep breath quite enjoyingly.

Lu Mingfei was shocked for a while: "It's still the boss, you are a bull." ”

Gu Bei didn't care.

The core essence of the Liuku Immortal Thief is to transform everything in the world into Qi through various absorption parts on the body, and then absorb all of them to themselves, and even cannibalism will occur when practicing to a certain extent.

In the original book "Under One Man", Ruan Feng can even manipulate the sweat discharged from the pores to absorb the surrounding air and convert it into Qi.

Even people can eat and absorb it, and even air can be transformed, this kind of exercise sounds mysterious and evil, and it is a little bit winding from the metaphysical point of view, but this miraculous skill is unexpectedly in line with the standards of science.

The essence of everything in this world is the same.

It is not a mystical and mysterious thing such as yin and yang and nothingness as explained in the Tao, but a more practical, material existence.

Everything that exists in the world is made up of all kinds of elementary particles.

Since this is the case, whether it is the human body, the air, or the cultivated Qi, since they are material beings, they are all made up of elementary particles.

The effect of the Liuku Immortal Thief is to transform and unify all the elementary particles in the world, and then use these elementary particles to rearrange them to form Qi.

Of course, the actual operation does not involve the microscopic level, if you can really manipulate the elementary particles, then Gu Bei is not far from becoming a god, and what is explained here is only a theoretical principle.

Usually, in order to increase the proficiency of the Liuku Immortal Thief, and he can't eat all day long, Gu Bei sets the Liuku Immortal Thief to the automatic opening mode in his daily life.

Small kiosk

In this way, you can directly absorb the air, and constantly increase the usage rate and proficiency of the Liuku Immortal Thief.

Although the increase in this way is very low, it is expected to rise by 0.01 almost every month, but Gu Bei can't just show off with high-calorie food every day, right?

It is even more impossible to press the surrounding half-bloods and dragon kings to frantically draw blood and refine in order to quickly increase proficiency.

In this way, the proficiency has indeed taken off, and the brothers around Gu Bei are afraid that they will be drawn to death.

Therefore, in this way of refining air, it is a hundred million points slower, but it is better than the long flow of fine water, and it will not dry up so quickly.

But after coming to Antu County, Gu Bei discovered Huadian.

Due to the constant activity of Changbai Mountain, the air in the nearby area is filled with volcanic ash, and there is not a trace of void.

As soon as the Gu Bei Liuku Immortal Thief opened, the volcanic ash and air drilled into the body and were refined.

Since the volcanic ash air has more components than pure air, and the variety is more responsible, it is much more effective than pure air for increasing the amount of Qi and increasing proficiency.

It's almost from 0.01 in one month to 0.01 in half a month.

The effect is directly doubled.

If it weren't for Gu Bei still paying attention to his image, it is estimated that he would have been stripped naked directly at this time, so that all the pores on his body would open up and frantically absorb the air in the vicinity.

Not for anything else, but to purify the environment and benefit the people.

In other words, volcanic ash is so useful, so will the very famous smog in the capital be more effective?

Thinking of this, Gu Bei suddenly regretted that he didn't follow Chu Zihang to the capital.

That's his beloved relatives and friends, siblings, why didn't he send him?

At this time in the capital, Chu Zihang, who had just walked out of the dormitory and was about to go to class: "Ah! ”

A white and tender little hand handed over a bag of heart-to-heart prints: "Senior brother, add clothes in autumn, don't catch a cold." ”

Chu Zihang took the tissue, took out one and wiped his nose: "Thank you Xia Mi." ”

"You're welcome, in return, treat me to a delicious meal after school!"

The girl laughed weirdly.

Chu Zihang also laughed, probably Gu Bei and Chu Zihang had not seen this thing laughing for several years.

"Okay."

"Speaking of which, senior brother, do half-breeds also catch a cold?"

"Probably not."

"Then why did you sneeze just now?"

"Sneezing is a protective behavior that the body voluntarily makes after being stimulated by various external environments such as dust, odor, strong light, and cold air."

"Senior brother, you're so boring, I'm asking why you're sneezing!"

Chu Zihang touched his nose: "...... Someone is missing me? ”

Speaking of which, I'm not at home and I don't know if my mother has taken care of herself, so let's take the time to make a video call tonight.

and the thing that Gu Bei explained to himself......

Chu Zihang looked at Xia Mi jumping beside him, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, Gu Bei certainly didn't know that his good senior brother's heart was at war between heaven and man, and he was tortured.

But even if Gu Bei knew about it, he wouldn't say anything, Chu Zihang was a person with both rationality and emotion and balance, and the factors that made the choice were diverse, but Gu Bei would not interfere with him.

Just like Gu Bei said to Eriyi, everyone is their own master, and it makes sense to choose this kind of thing to do it yourself.

Therefore, Gu Bei rarely interferes with other people's choices, compared to that, he cares more about the fat beef roll in front of him.

"Blanch, why are my cow balls gone?!"

"Boss, did you steal it?!"

"Gan, Lu Mingfei, you put that beef down!"

"Slightly, slightly—"

The soup is divided into two colors, the red one is brighter and warmer than the flame, and the white one is more moist and soft than the jade.

This is hot pot mandarin duck.

Although Gu Bei didn't feel anything, the outside environment was really not good, affected by a large amount of volcanic ash, the mobile vendors simply closed their doors and closed their doors, and only this kind of store with a door could still maintain its operation.

And that's not all, it's not just volcanic activity in the area, there are also frequent light earthquakes, which don't collapse houses, but damage a lot of buildings.

There are many store owners who see that the situation is not good, and they simply close their doors and run away.

It's good to close the door and run away, after all, Antu County is still some distance away from Changbai Mountain, so the impact is not very large, at least there are no casualties.

In the town of Erdaobaihe, at the foot of Changbai Mountain, it has been turned into a ruin after several earthquakes, and although the people of Nadutong began to evacuate the crowd early, it is inevitable that some diehards will not listen to the advice, and there are even conspiracy theories that the staff of Nadutong are trying to trick them out and occupy their houses.

Because of the above reasons, there have been several casualties in Erdao Baihe Town.

When Gu Bei got this report, he was a little puzzled, how could there be such a brain wreck in the world?

You deserve to be dead!

Although he thought so in his heart, Gu Bei still issued a condolence payment in accordance with the rules, and the name of the head was used as a bereavement pension.

In this case, it is really not easy to find a home to eat in Antu County.

Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei turned three streets, and after looking for a long time, they found such a hot pot restaurant.

The hot pot restaurant is filled with a strong aroma, the mellow aroma of chili oil, the strong fragrance of sauce, the fragrance of coriander, the fresh fragrance of the base, and all kinds of aromas are mixed together, and they go straight to people's noses.

The two made a quick decision, and that's it.

It took two hours to eat and drink, the first half of the hour was Lu Mingfei and Gu Bei rushing to eat, and the remaining half an hour was Lu Mingfei watching Gu Bei eat.

Finally ending the battle, Gu Bei clapped his hands: "Boss, settle the bill." ”

The waiters in the store have long been cleaned, and now the operation of this store is completely dependent on the owner's family.

Fortunately, the recipe for this soup base is the owner's own home, otherwise even the chef would have run away, and this store would not have been able to open.

The boss came over to calculate the account, and laughed while calculating, and the big mouth couldn't close at all.

It's no wonder he's so happy, Gu Bei used to eat self-help in order to save money, which shows how terrifying the body forging method is for the increase in food intake.

What's more, now that Gu Bei has mastered the Liuku Immortal Thief, this trip directly solved more than half of the ingredients in this hot pot restaurant.

At this stage when business is not good, Gu Bei is simply the boss's God of Wealth.

However, Gu Bei was not distressed, and all expenses during the business trip were reimbursed.

Anyway, it's just a sentence: I don't have any money on me, so I'll send the bill anywhere.

Rich and rich, you can get anywhere.

"Brother, there are more than 8,000 in total, just wipe a zero for you, just count 8,000."

It seems that Gu Bei has indeed eaten a lot, and the Northeast boss opened his mouth to call him a brother, so he sent Gu Bei a fragrant incense and bowed.

Gu Bei nodded: "Is the boss busy with business in the store now?" ”

The boss with a meaty face looked back at the storefront of the door, and said happily: "I'm not busy, now there is no one to do this." ”

"Would you rather use it in cash or by card?"

Gu Bei smiled: "The person who sent the money is on the way here, if the boss is not busy, just sit down and chat with our brothers." ”

Lu Mingfei didn't know why, he sat in his seat and didn't speak.

The boss looked at Lu Mingfei, who had thin arms and legs, and then looked at Gu Bei, who didn't have much meat on his body, and compared his body size of one meter eight two hundred and twenty pounds.

These two people look like two little chicks, they can fight ten by themselves, most of them can't escape the order, chat with him, talk to him, anyway, there are no guests, and they are idle.

The boss who had made up his mind was immediately relieved and found a place near the door and sat down.

Gu Bei naturally knew what the boss was thinking, and he didn't break it, just chatting about family life, waiting for the so-called person who sent money.

"Boss, let's not talk about it, why don't we open a bottle on the hour?"

The boss looked suspicious: "Then the cost ......"

Gu Beida waved his hand: "Settle my account, and it will be settled later." ”

(Not me paying anyway.) ）

No man can resist the temptation of "the hour", let alone someone else who spends money, and the boss is quickly shaken.

"That'...... Hour? ”

"Whole!"

"Whole!"

Lu Mingfei just watched the two of them clap things up.

This whole thing is not as simple as "opening a bottle".

Why don't you drink something?

Are peanuts enough?

That can't be a whole hard dish?

The boss and Gu Bei smashed it twice, felt that there was no taste in his mouth, and went out directly to order his daughter-in-law to serve the food, and then came back and sat on the chair, looking at Gu Bei with the style of a big man.

"This dish is ...... money"

"Count me in."

The copper stove burned again, and the warm air filled the room.

The boss watched Gu Bei, who had eaten eight thousand ingredients, open his belly again, and suddenly felt that he was expected to make a fortune today, and even drank a lot of wine.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Gu Beixiafei's cheeks were misty: "Boss, let me ask you something." ”

The boss's face was not quite right, obviously a little upset: "What's the matter, brother, you ask, don't mother-in-law?" ”

Gu Bei saluted the boss with a cup, chewing the words that he couldn't hear clearly: "Little brother, I'm just curious, the shops in this city should run away, and the doors should be closed, no one dares to do business anymore, brother, why don't you run?" ”

Wen Yan's boss smiled bitterly: "Little brother, it's not that my brother doesn't want to run, it's that I can't run at all!" ”

Gu Bei opened his eyes, as if he couldn't understand: "Why did the old brother say this?" ”

"Alas!"

The boss sighed, took a few quick dishes and drank wine, and said helplessly: "This person's life is a matter of heaven, who doesn't want to live?" But the old man in my family screwed this and didn't leave, and said that the fallen leaves returned to the roots, and he would die here. ”

"The old man himself wants to stay, but he comes to drive me away every day, how can I go?"

"Then the old man is not leaving, I am leaving, am I still a person?"

The more he talked, the more depressed he became, and the boss directly poured a sip into it, and the liquor was full of sorrow when it entered his throat.

Gu Bei squinted, praised the boss's filial piety in his heart, and his face remained unchanged: "Then you have to go, there is always a way to live, isn't there nothing left to die here?" ”

The boss shook his head: "If the old man doesn't want to leave, then he won't go, and he won't necessarily die." ”

Gu Bei was surprised: "Brother, didn't I curse you, aren't you talking nonsense?" The volcano erupts and shakes, the sky is full of sky fire meteors, and the farther away you may not be able to get better, how can you survive if you are so close? ”

Hearing this, the boss smiled, the two hundred and twenty pounds of fat trembled, and an even more obscene smile appeared on his slightly obscene face: "Little brother, it's not my brother who makes you, and you don't think about it carefully, this Antu county is so big, it's not just me who hasn't left, is it possible that everyone doesn't want to live?" Naturally, there is a way to survive. ”

"Oh?" Gu Bei showed an interested expression, "What way?" Could it be that there are some bomb shelters around here or something? ”

The boss shook his head mysteriously: "No matter how big the air-raid shelter is, can it fit the entire Antu County into it?" Naturally, there are other ways to do it? ”

After selling it, the boss didn't explain, he just looked at Gu Bei with a smile.

Gu Bei stood up and picked up his wine glass: "Please teach me, brother." ”

The boss pretended to clink glasses with Gu Bei, drank the glass of wine and said slowly: "That's naturally because of ......"

Before he finished speaking, the boss's body twitched, and the whole person collapsed on the table, losing consciousness.

The drunken color on Gu Bei's face disappeared in an instant, and he looked at the two hundred and twenty catties of fat lying on the table, and took out the copper coins that had been practiced for a long time and opened a hexagram.

The upper and lower hurdles are separated, and the fire and water are not healed.

Although it is "Heng", the balance of the six is not correct, and the final outcome of the matter is still unknown.

Gu Bei swept the copper coin into his sleeve, his eyes staring at the flames under the copper pot, and the boiling water in the copper pot.

The upper and lower hurdles are separated, and the fire and water are not healed.

It's kind of interesting.

Lu Mingfei, who was sitting on the side and was full, but looked at the two of them eating and eating and being hungry, so they started to show off their meals again: When did the boss become a god stick?
