Chapter 187: Mingdetang's new after-sales staff
Changing out of the white coat that could almost be said to have grown on his body these days, Huo Yuhao, who walked out of the underground research institute and finally saw the light of day again, squinted his eyes and looked at the afterglow of the sun, and for a while he felt like a world away.
"As long as you have the Internet and food, you can stay alone in a secret room for a year without going out" is nonsense, and if you don't see the sun for a week, people's mental state will be greatly affected, no wonder the suicide rate in some places with extremely high living standards but in the polar regions is so high that it obviously does not match the material life.
After some activity, Huo Yuhao looked at the busy figures on the soul guide test ground, and suddenly found that his social circle seemed to be really narrow, so that he didn't even need to make up a reason to explain it to others after disappearing for so long.
After being a street runner on campus for a while with nothing to do, Huo Yuhao, who wanted to eat something light, swiped his card in the cafeteria to buy a special grilled fish and charcoal kebabs, and by the way, he opened the spiritual detection and began to collect all kinds of gossip news.
Unsurprisingly, the hottest news was that most of the teachers and students were invited to observe the drills, which was quite attractive for those who had been in the Ming capital for a long time.
This kind of travel activity related to the collective safety of the best next-generation soul masters of the Sun and Moon Empire must of course be carefully planned and investigated, and it is impossible to set off hastily. However, Huo Yuhao himself didn't have to wait to go in a carriage with someone, he could just fly over overnight with the flying soul guide.
The Evil Monarch Soul Mentor Group, which can always appear on the front line of being beaten, has been drawn from Mingdu two days ago and went to the assembly place to standby.
Huo Yuhao used his spiritual detection to peek at a freshman who seemed to be still in the junior class, excitedly watching the admission ticket in his hand - only most of the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and a few outstanding talents from other colleges and universities had this treatment, according to Huo Yuhao's understanding of the alumni, there would definitely be some people who would show their superiority with the people of other schools.
That is to say, there is no Internet in Douluo Continent now, if it is the era of Tang Da'er in 10,000 years, maybe there will be network maps flying all over the sky, and one picture will change countless masters and countless backgrounds.
Some took a bite of the meat skewer in a daze, thinking that this trip would not have more people in the audience than the main force, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh how this good military exercise could be the same as the performance......
Anyway, these two are often synonymous.
Hearing that even some envoys and military attachΓ©s of the Douluo Three Kingdoms had received invitations, Huo Yuhao estimated that this semi-public event of catching ducks on the shelves and spending a lot of money did not expect to train the army's much ability, and the original intention was to show it to others, and the nature of the performance was greater than the nature of the drill.
If the Douluo Three Kingdoms, especially the Heavenly Soul Empire, only listened to the babbling protests, but the people who didn't have the ability to speak were actually shocked at the scene, then this wave would be purely a tantrum in the air and wearing Victoria's Secret in front of male ketone...... All the money is thrown into the water!
Slowly biting into the meat skewers, Huo Yuhao couldn't help frowning-this tastes wrong!
Using spiritual probing to hide and probe the pieces of meat that were roasted a little burnt under the heavy spices, Huo Yuhao found that the color and texture of the meat were not beef and mutton at all, but mostly duck meat and the like.
Putting down the half-eaten meat skewers with a scolding, Huo Yuhao took out a tissue and wiped his mouth - the name of the dish sold in this shop is "charcoal kebabs", and he didn't say what kind of meat was used.
Dare to contract the window in the canteen of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and engage in this little cleverness, thinking that the boss behind it is also a character with a bit of background.
But it doesn't matter, Huo Yuhao decided to come back and sue the master of Hongchen Hall, and he was defrauded, so he just let them go out of business.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Out of the outskirts of Mingdu in the no-fly zone, Huo Yuhao, who had repeatedly checked for looseness and cracks with the flying soul guide, finally joined his traveling companions.
This time, Huo Yuhao didn't have to worry about Zheng Zhan's protection, after all, those ninth-level soul masters were all very busy with business, and it was impossible to be full-time bodyguards.
The only thing that is a little risky along the way is the journey from Mingdu to the destination, and when he arrives at the place, there will be more than two Titled Douluo present at that time, unless someone is crazy, he will assassinate at this time.
Huo Yuhao's travel companions this time were the long-lost teacher Xuan Ziwen and his students, Xuan Ziwen was also an eighth-level soul master, and it was more than enough to protect Huo Yuhao's safety in the few hours of the flight.
"Teacher Xuan!" Huo Yuhao waved at Xuan Ziwen, who was looking at the sky with his hands behind his back and looking deep.
Xuan Ziwen turned around, with a sad expression on his face: "You still remember to have me as a teacher, I really thank you." β
Since the attack on Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao has entered a state of normalization and disappearance, and Xuan Ziwen can't find his figure on campus at all.
asked his subordinates the orange who was most familiar with Huo Yuhao, and the latter's face was clear with a slightly ignorant expression.
When I asked the precious granddaughter of the Hongchen Hall Master again, she told him with a mysterious face not to ask what he shouldn't ask.
The student was so neglectful of studying, he didn't say hello and disappeared, and Xuan Ziwen, who was the chief researcher of Mingde Hall, came up with a small temper.
There is no way for many people outside to worship under my door, but this kid wasted his precious talent and was absent from teaching for a long time, which made Xuan Ziwen suspect that he was abducted by Jing Hongchen to do something unseemly.
Xuan Ziwen inquired all the way to his teacher Kong Deming's side, and finally got a reply that "Yuhao is participating in a confidential project, everyone is fine, don't worry".
"I'm also too busy with too many things, and I'm dragged to do something else on my front foot just after I'm busy, so I really haven't had time to say hello to you...... Don't you think I'm fine? β
Huo Yuhao spread his hands and said, with a polite but embarrassing smile on his face - when he was busy with human experiments in the underground research institute, he never expected that the only person who was anxious about himself would be Teacher Xuan.
"Forget it, since Master Confucius said that you also have a hard time, let's not take it as an example. This time, I will do equipment evaluation and experiments for the soul master group, and you can learn more from me. β
Xuan Ziwen turned his head to look at the sky, leaving Huo Yuhao with the back of his head; Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, looked at the other traveling companions who were resting on the benches on the side.
Unexpectedly, the Xuan Ziwen research group, which is short of people in the five elements all year round, has all arrived......
Senior Sister Tangerine was lying on a bench, with a map covering her face, her left hand on her lower abdomen, and her right hand hanging down from the chair, looking like she had probably fallen asleep.
Keke is holding a small mirror and an eyebrow pencil to write and draw on her face......
The calamitous Zimu and Wang Shaojie also appeared here, which Huo Yuhao did not expect.
"Teacher Xuan, is there anyone else who hasn't come?"
"You are the only one waiting for you just now, we are traveling as a research group this time, and we are one step ahead of the others."
Seeing Huo Yuhao arrive, the other three patted their buttocks one after another and got up to get ready to go on the road, while Keke hurriedly put away the mirror and eyebrow pencil, took out a handkerchief and wiped it on his face.
"Sister Keke, you are so troublesome to put on makeup...... Won't it still cost you to fly for a while? β
Xuan Ziwen shook his head and said, "Keke is like this, you don't have to worry about it." Tangerine...... You wait for me to wake her up. β
As he spoke, Xuan Ziwen walked to Tangerine's side with his hands behind his back, and first said gently: "Tangerine, wake up, everyone is ready, we should be on the road!" β
"Hmm...... Got it, let's go. β
Tangerine's face was still covered with the map, and his voice was choppy and indistinct, clearly half-asleep.
"If you don't get up, how can you go?"
"Then let Keke hold me first...... Fly for a while, and then fly on my own when I'm full. β
Keke's face was dyed a hazy red, and Zimu, who had been chasing the orange for a long time, once again felt heartbroken about the weakness of his presence in the orange's heart.
Xuan Ziwen sighed lightly, directly reached out and took away the map covering Tangerine's face, let the sunlight cover her face directly, then slowly inhaled and accumulated, and roared:
"Eat! Rice! Finish! β
"It's time for dinner!!"
As if someone had pressed some magic switch, Tangerine's body trembled, and his legs lifted his feet to the ground as if he were directly conditioned.
"Today is shrimp oil tofu, rush!"
The orange, which came to life almost instantly, was hit on the head by Xuan Ziwen who took out a rolled-up lesson plan from the storage ring:
"Don't pretend to be dead when you wake up, even Huo Yuhao has arrived, hurry up, if you fly fast, you will have time to go to Dongyang City for dinner."
"Oooh......"
Tangerine opened the Flying Soul Guide a little listlessly, but when her gaze touched Huo Yuhao's eyes, she quickly moved away.
Huo Yuhao intuitively felt that her gaze seemed to be a little weak and evasive, but he couldn't think of what the reason was for a while.
Even that Wang Shaojie, who was so far away that he couldn't enter the royal family genealogy and was troublesome all day long, was cleaned up by himself, and Huo Yuhao didn't go into the Jingyang Mountains with Tangerine to hunt for the soul ring, and by the way, he scrapped Teacher Xuan's precious all-terrain detection soul guide...... She doesn't seem to have anything to be sorry for herself?
This woman has too many secrets, and her mind is really hard to guess.
With Xuan Ziwen's order, the members of the research group activated the flying soul guide one after another, and flew towards the northeast after being sprayed into the sky by the push of soul power.
The standard operation mode of the flying soul guide is to use soul power to urge and spray into the sky at the beginning, and then the soul master adjusts the angle and unfolds the folding wings behind it; At this time, the spray direction of the nozzle also changes from vertical to horizontal.
During regular flight, if there is a need for acceleration, the jet will be carried out, otherwise it will remain taxied. And because of this power supply method, the pair of "folding wings" is not a pair of bionic wings that imitate the constant fluttering of birds, but a thing similar to the folding wings of carrier-based aircraft.
In other words, in this era when the main means of transportation on the ground is still horse-drawn carriages, the technology of vertical take-off and landing of man-operated folding aircraft has been quite mature......
The first destination of Huo Yuhao and the others on this trip was Dongyang City, which was a coastal city in the northeast of the Sun and Moon Empire, and it was also the largest city in the north and an important border town.
Although this "border guard" is really a bit far away...... According to the adult's description, "Dongyang City is nearly a thousand kilometers away from the original border of the Heavenly Soul Empire" - it is only eight hundred kilometers from the Yalu River to Harbing.
On weekdays, there are 20,000 standing troops guarding Dongyang City, and a soul master group is also arranged to be stationed here all year round. As the fulcrum of the north, Dongyang City itself is a huge amount of grain and grass.
If it weren't for these supplies, which had been preparing for war and were almost always full, it would have been impossible for the Sun Moon Empire to easily mobilize half of its standing army to conduct exercises in this place far away from the Ming capital.
As Xuan Ziwen and his party arrived in Dongyang City to meet with the Evil Monarch Soul Mentor Group who had been waiting here, Tangerine finally caught up with the dinner he had been thinking about.
"Teacher Xuan, this place is not as prosperous as Mingdu, please forgive me for not being well entertained."
Wang Yiheng, the head of the Evil Monarch Soul Mentor, stood up, held his cup of tea, and touched a cup with Xuan Ziwen, who had boiled water in the cup.
"Where, we are here to help you inspect and test equipment, and we have already felt that we have caused you trouble with this hospitality, but we dare not waste it again."
Xuan Ziwen rarely showed a side with some emotional intelligence, after all, although he was the chief researcher of Mingde Hall, Wang Yiheng in front of him was a genuine ninth-level soul master.
Wang Yiheng chose to entertain a local restaurant with a well-known signboard, given that it was not the period of military mission, except for a small number of soul masters of the Evil Monarch Soul Mentor Group who stayed in the barracks, everyone else went to Dongyang City to take the opportunity to take a vacation, so he did not eat in the barracks.
"Let me introduce to you, these two are the deputy heads of my Evil Monarch Soul Mentor Group, Xia Xuanchen, and, Wen Jie."
Except for Xia Xuanchen, the other two Huo Yuhao had already seen it, and Wen Jie even asked Huo Yuhao if he wanted to block Mingdu to search for the suspect on the day of the attack on Mingdetang, and since that day he has been recorded by Huo Yuhao in a small notebook.
In the future, depending on the situation and needs, Huo Yuhao may upgrade the small book to the big hatred book or even the death note.
However, the performance of the deputy division commander of the Wen Division, who had been in Huo Xin, was quite restrained and nervous at this time, Huo Yuhao guessed that maybe it was the day of the attack on Mingdetang and the two times in the court that he was taught a lesson by Wang Yiheng's suspicion.
Xuan Ziwen introduced: "These people, Tangerine, Keke, Zimu, and Wang Shaojie, are all my students, and this time they assisted me in the preliminary preparation of various experiments...... Ah, this Huo Yuhao is also my student, but his task is a little more, this time he can be regarded as my deputy. β
"The Red Dust Hall Master asked me to take him to a long time and learn more about the practical experience you have learned in the laboratory that you have gained in the use of it. The things he has access to are at the same level as mine, so he probably doesn't act with the rest of his classmates. β
"According to the meaning of the hall master, Huo Yuhao may have to contact the after-sales business of the soul master group's equipment often in the future, and there are still many opportunities to deal with you, this is the first time he has done this kind of business, if there is anything jerky, please bear with me."
Xuan Ziwen raised his glass and said with a smile, and Xia Xuanchen, who was facing the table, couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao twice, and there was a little more different color in his eyes.
How old is this kid, Mingdetang's after-sales service is on par with the sales of oil and water, Jing Hongchen actually likes him so much?
If he is allowed to control the soul master group for a long time, how much will he have to earn......
Oh, no, the division commander seems to have said that the master of the Hongchen Hall has the idea of deliberately marrying each other, in that case, just a dowry is enough to eat ten lifetimes, and he can't take the risk to make money.
Huo Yuhao raised his glass and said "shyly": "Thank you seniors for taking care of you."
The other students under Mr. Xuan's command had different expressions, as if everyone had made an appointment with their supervisor to be an undergraduate, but suddenly found that a classmate had directly entered the laboratory to work for the boss......
The expression on the young Zimu's face couldn't hide his thoughts, especially when Huo Yuhao was often running around under Xuan Ziwen before, Tangerine's attitude towards Huo Yuhao was obviously a little kinder than his, a suitor with whom he had a deep friendship.
Regardless of the various reasons behind this, anyway, Zimu had a sense of crisis for Huo Yuhao - although he himself knew that it was very inexplicable, and he couldn't resort to it at all.
Wang Shaojie frowned even more, and his face was full of pantothenic acid.
The last time Teacher Xuan took someone to the beach to test the soul guide, he couldn't make the trip because the elders in the family were seriously ill and wanted to stay to fight for the family property, and he didn't catch a few in the end.
The master of the Red Dust Hall is not seriously ill, judging from the scale of the soul master, it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, why did he start arranging for this kid?
"Little friend, don't worry, the junior of the Hongchen Hall Master is my junior, if you need the help of the Evil Monarch Soul Mentor Group in the future, you can find me, as long as it is not too much trouble, it will not be a problem." Wang Yiheng patted his chest, looking like a big brother in the rivers and lakes.
"I'm the same." Xia Xuanchen immediately complied with the Dao.
Wen Jie opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment, and then he said with some hindsight:
"If the division commander is not there, it will be no problem to look for me, I have admired the master of Hongchen Hall for a long time."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Ziwen and Yuhao, they should have arrived in Dongyang City, right?"
Kong Deming, who came to Mingde Hall to inspect the progress of the reconstruction, stopped and asked Jing Hongchen, who was following behind him.
"If the road is okay, it's already there."
Kong Deming pondered for a moment, but asked a question that was not very related: "What has happened to the girl from Shrek Academy who came to negotiate in the past few days?" β
Jing Hongchen, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately said: "There is nothing abnormal, it is just a routine visit to the prison and visiting their exchange students." Now, she should be eating at a barbecue restaurant with her little lover and the others. β
Kong Deming couldn't help but smile and said, "Hongchen Hall Master, you are staring hard enough, you have a heart." β
Jing Hongchen arched his hand, since he knew that Zhang Lexuan's martial soul who was going to negotiate the result of the disposition of He Caitou turned out to be "Yue", he had been arranging for people to keep an eye on her movements in case Kong Lao became curious.
The Sun and Moon Empire, how can there be a sun without a moon? The royal family has inherited the sun, and the other has ...... Kong Lao's martial soul is Yinyue.
Sure enough, only those who prepare early can seize the opportunity!
"Old Kong, do you want to meet her?"
Kong Deming shook his head slowly: "What can you say when you see her now?" Can she still see the martial soul and recognize me? Red Dust Hall Master, do you think it's possible? β
"Of course it's not ......"
"It's really not, and that girl is from the Heavenly Soul Empire, right? Whether her martial soul is even inherited or mutated is not yet known...... Her house seems to have been slaughtered? She herself joined Shrek Academy because of this? The door is already dead, how can I find out? β
Kong Deming sighed and continued: "The last war displaced too many people, and the bloodline of the martial soul was also lost a lot, and it is unknown whether her lineage can be traced back to my Sun and Moon. β
Jing Hongchen said softly: "This kind of thing thousands of years ago is not important to us, she herself is important, Kong Lao." β
"Heh, this is not bad, since she herself is the senior sister of the inner courtyard of the Shrek students, even if she has no blood relationship with me, as long as she is willing, I don't mind recognizing a relative."
Jing Hongchen thought for a while, and said again: "Old Kong, that Zhang Lexuan's little lover has an old relationship with Yu Hao, and they are also on the list of people who went to watch the show this time." β
Kong Deming frowned: "Hongchen Hall Master, do you want to put the errand on Yu Hao again?" β
Jing Hongchen smiled but did not answer.
"Okay, write a letter and ask Yu Hao to pay attention to it and inquire along the way, don't force it."
"That and the cabbage, since that girl is here to save him, there will be more time for him over there."
