The day before the New Year.

Parliamentary Building.

Penthouse office.

When Cheng Han saw the female secretary walk in, he was stunned for a short moment.

Miss Stunner carried a paper bag and wore a beautiful emerald green top hat with two circles of green branches interspersed with brims, swaying between her steps.

"Your Excellency, good morning!"

Xie Yu's pleasant voice floated over.

Cheng Han replied with a "good morning", and then came to his senses.

This is a traditional practice in this world.

This kind of hat is called "Rong Shou Hat", and from the day before the New Year, that is, today, until the seventh day of the New Year, everyone will wear the Rong Shou hat.

Among them, "Banyan Shou" means "only wish the longevity of the Banyan Banyan endlessly", and the "two circles of green branches" symbolize the blessing of the Banyan Tree.

The female secretary put down the paper bag, took out an extraordinarily luxurious Rong Shou hat from it, and smiled charmingly: "Your Excellency, this is your top hat." ”

Cheng Han nodded: "Put it on the table." ”

This top hat is simply gorgeous, not only embroidered with a large number of exquisite pictures with gold and silver thread, but also inlaid with more than a dozen large and small gemstones.

If it is measured in money, I am afraid that there will be no less than thirty gold coins.

Cheng Han looked at it a few times and muttered in his heart: "Fortunately, it's not a green hat." ”

According to the memory of the predecessor, the background color of the banyan hat is mainly green, which means the green of vitality, such as the emerald green of the female secretary, or light green and dark green.

A small number of non-green banyan hats are also slightly related to green, such as brownish-green, yellow-green, or dark green.

In a word.

There is a little bit of green on the top of the head.

Xie Yu said quickly: "The daily meeting will start in twelve minutes, and the main agenda is to finalize the celebration process, do you want to attend?" ”

Cheng Han thought for a while, and said, "Go ahead." ”

A quarter of an hour later.

Cheng Han strode into the conference room, the corners of his mouth twitching imperceptibly.

As far as the eye can see.

The house is full of cuckolds.

Every official attending the meeting was dressed in formal attire, sitting upright in a serious manner, but his head was covered with a dark green banyan hat.

Everyone stood up in unison and said in unison: "Your Excellency, I greet you!" ”

Cheng Han watched this scene, and there was an urge to laugh in his heart.

Qinglin City.

In a warehouse one kilometer away from Shaohuafang.

It is customary to observe the six days from the first two days of the New Year to the four days after the New Year, which is considered a public holiday and the longest holiday of the year.

Most chambers of commerce are closed and all employees are on holiday.

The Chamber of Commerce to which this warehouse belongs is naturally no exception.

In the warehouse area, which covers an area of dozens of acres, there is not a single figure in sight.

At this time.

The black cat walked lightly to the door, and suddenly disappeared.

The next moment.

It appears out of thin air inside the warehouse.

The black cat flicked its tail and swept its gaze over the eighteen figures standing still.

These people are expressionless, and Tong Kong has no focus, only the slight rise and fall of his chest proves that he is a living person, this scene looks indescribably weird.

The black cat walked around, looking at the abdomen one by one, and a pair of cat eyes showed a humanized satisfaction.

The owner's alien plan, which is going very well!

The "offspring" conceived by the "mother" can develop into a full form at midnight, that is, at the moment of the arrival of the new year.

Of course.

The eighteen "test subjects" selected were not innocent people.

Black Cat's understanding of the city is far beyond ordinary people, and he easily found a group of traitors.

Frankly.

This is an extremely cruel plan.

However, black cats are not human, and they see things in a very different way.

Instead, it was so much fun that it was a super creative masterpiece.

The black cat raised one of its paws and looked at it, and a strange thought popped into his head:

The transcendent life transformation method created by the master can turn this meow into a human?

It suddenly became excited.

It's a very, very interesting idea!

Ben Meow likes!

"Smack!"

It stomped on the ground.

In the blink of an eye.

A smooth ice mirror made of cold ice stood silently in front of him.

In the mirror, a cat is clearly revealed.

The black cat stared at his figure, and unconsciously thought of another question.

If Ben Meow becomes a human, what should it become?

After a while.

The black cat activated the soul link of the Spirit Seal and asked the owner a question.

A second later.

The reply came: "This involves a radical change in the nature of life, and I need to study it more deeply." ”

The black cat was a little frustrated.

The second reply followed: "When my strength reaches the level of Xuandu, maybe it will be stronger, it should be about the same." ”

The black cat became happy.

Is it just Xuandu?

With the master's level of genius, that day should not be too far away!

*

Two hours later.

Anwa City.

Cheng Han once again witnessed the scene of "a house full of green hats".

The participants were not officials, but civilians, that is, the ten lucky ones selected from the wishing monument in Higashiyama Park.

Ten people wore identical green top hats.

This is obviously a standard banyan hat specially presented to them by the council hall.

Cheng Han had previously promised to help these lucky people fulfill their New Year's resolutions.

As the archon, Cheng Han must of course do what he says.

"Your Excellency the Great Consul, to ...... Greetings to you! ”

"Pavilion...... Your Excellency is well! ”

All of his faces were full of nervousness, and he even stumbled when he spoke.

Obviously.

Seeing such a big man for the first time in his life gave them huge psychological pressure.

Cheng Han didn't want to embarrass ordinary people, let alone find a sense of superiority in front of civilians, but said seriously: "Everyone, I'm very happy to see you. ”

A group of people looked sincerely frightened again.

Cheng Han waved his right hand lightly: "Everyone, please accept my New Year's gift." ”

Xie Yu immediately walked over and handed a stack of red envelopes to his boss.

Cheng Han sent the envelopes down one by one, shook the other party's hand by the way, and said sincerely: "I wish you a happy New Year." ”

When everything was done, Xie Yu helped to add: "Please take it apart when you go home." ”

A group of civilians did not dare to disobey, and naturally they should be obedient.

An official said loudly, "Everyone, the crystal energy car is ready, please come with me." ”

This is the end of this short meeting.

Half an hour later.

A middle-aged man named "Guo Yi" met his wife and two children.

The family gathered around and watched excitedly as he opened the envelope.

This moment.

Just heard a "bang", a large area of colorful light burst out from the envelope.

They flew in the air and formed a line of colorful words - Happy New Year.

The family had never seen such a trick, so they were naturally dumbfounded.

For a moment.

The four words dissipated.

The wife came back to her senses and asked hurriedly, "Let's see what's in the envelope?" ”

Guo Yi took out a resin card from the envelope, and after just one glance, the whole person fell into ecstasy: "We have a new house!" ”

This is a residential certificate.

A few minutes later.

The whole community knew about it, and the family became the envy of everyone.

After all, although the donated house is not large, the market price is not less than 20 gold coins, who here is not envious?

There was also a comment that spread through a large neighborhood nearby:

"His Excellency the Archon was a very kind man, and he said the word 'please' to me, and he personally wished me a happy new year."

It didn't take long.

The words reached the ears of a mid-level official in the Civic Affairs Bureau.

The gentleman couldn't help but complain to his colleagues: "One-third of the officials of the entire Civil Affairs Bureau were imprisoned, and one-third were fined and demoted.

"Everyone is busier every day, and I've been sleeping no more than five hours a day for the past 10 days."

The middle-level official couldn't help but let out a "phew", and his tone became more and more excited: "This horse is also called 'kindness'? ”

This remark is full of complaints, and although it is not explicitly mentioned who it is, even if it is not, a fool can tell who it is aimed at.

The colleague hurriedly stopped: "Lao Wan, you don't want to die?" Speak quietly. ”

The official, known as Lao Wang, laughed dryly, and his voice immediately lowered a step: "I was just talking nonsense just now, don't take it to heart." ”

This guy immediately changed the subject: "There is a New Year's celebration tomorrow, and I have to arrive at the council hall at three o'clock in the morning, so I guess I don't want to sleep tonight." ”

The colleague comforted: "It's good to get through this while." ”

There's no way around it.

In the face of the harsh archon, since he has no ability to resist, he can only endure it silently.

The two looked at each other and sighed together.

*

Seven o'clock in the evening.

The night completely enveloped Qinglin City.

The city is noticeably brighter than it used to be.

Because of an order issued by the council hall, all the oil lamps in the city area were filled with brown oil and continued to burn until dawn.

Normally.

According to the regulations, the oil lamp is only about half lit, and the illumination time is between five or six hours, which is actually shorter considering the problem of fuel consumption.

At this time.

Inside Base Three.

The so-called "base" is actually a hidden underground cavern.

The black cat has been working hard for so long, and has established a total of six bases in the city, which are distributed in all corners of the city, as a gathering place for the Meow Clan.

A group of cats is lining up in a neat queue of more than two hundred, each with a gray-toed mouse in its mouth.

The black cat looked at his subordinates majestically and shouted:

"Meow!"

The cats put down the mice in their mouths and hung their heads respectfully.

From this small movement, it can be seen that this is definitely a group of well-trained cats.

The black cat immediately waved its right paw.

Meanwhile.

It activates the imprint within the sea of spirits.

After an instant.

"Squeak! Chirping! ”

A group of gray-toed rats screamed in pain.

Their bodies immediately twisted into a ball, and two fleshy balls quickly bulged out from their backs, quickly growing into a pair of bat-like membranous wings.

A bunch of cats were all stunned.

Black Lord is on top!

Rats have grown wings?!

The black cat barked again: "Meow! ”

These winged gray-toed rats, or flying squirrels, tried to flap their wings and then took off one after another.

There was a hint of curiosity in the black cat's eyes.

The master's method of life transformation is so interesting!

It also knows that the flying squirrel is actually the product of overdrafted vitality, with a maximum lifespan of only 16 hours, so now is the best time to transform the flying squirrel.

"Whew! Call! ”

The cavern was filled with the sound of flapping wings.

A bunch of cats craned their necks in unison, watching the rats practice flying.

This scene looks quite joyful.

At the beginning.

The swarms flew crookedly, as if they could fall at any moment.

Soon.

They have mastered the art of flying and circle above the cave in groups.

The black cat turned to look at the four cats next to him and commanded, "Meow! ”

The four cats worked together to open a black wooden box, and found a pile of wooden beads in the box, about the tip of a small thumb.

The black cat commanded again: "Meow! ”

The flying squirrels landed en masse and rushed to the wooden box, each of which opened its mouth and bit a wooden bead, and its cheeks bulged high.

】

The black cat's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

The preparations for the war assigned by the master were finally completed.

When the New Year's celebration begins, it's time for war!
