"—Turns out it's better to use Thales' water attribute formation here? I thought it had to be the wind attribute." After Liang En finished answering a question, Ao Lei nodded thoughtfully.

But just as she was about to say something, there was a sudden buzz on the table, and Liang En saw a small red dot on the compass that kept flashing.

"Ah, we're almost there, I didn't expect the chat time to go by so quickly. I almost forgot that the two of us were still on our way."

A few minutes later, Liang En felt a slight vibration. When the ship returned to calm, the surrounding bulkheads gradually became transparent, revealing the scene outside the cabin of the ship.

It is a clear lake embedded in the mountains, and in the distance stands a volcano with snow on its top. Judging by the moisture and very faint smell of sulfur on the lake, it is supposed to be a volcanic lake located in a crater.

"It's Lake Toya!" After combining the height of the sun and the time, Liang En quickly determined where the quiet little lake he was now located was*** was located.

In the modern world, Lake Toya is a lake located in southwestern Hokkaido, Japan, and part of Shikotsu-Toya National Park, with an area of 70.7 square kilometers, making it the third largest crater lake in Japan.

Due to volcanic activity, the lake does not freeze in winter, and it is the northernmost lake in Japan, and it is home to beautiful water and fish such as red trout and herons throughout the year.

However, unlike Lake Toya in the modern world, there are few volcanoes that will appear hundreds of years later on the lakeside, and there are no tourist facilities, so everything remains as natural as it can be.

Fortunately, the lake is famous for its natural beauty and hot springs, so the beauty of the lake has not been compromised without the various inns and cultural attractions.

Soon, the boat approached the island in the middle of the lake, and then the two men spread out the tablecloth and mat on a clean floor, and took out a large pile of things and put them on the mat.

"Seriously, I haven't relaxed like this in a long time since I came to this island." Ao Lei stretched out not very ladylikely, then turned her head to Liang En and said with a smile.

"I have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I might have realized much later that I was wrong the way I did it before, and it took a lot of effort to reap the rewards."

What she said was that she looked like she was chivalrous and righteous before, but she didn't gather her strength at all, let alone develop, and the harvest in the past few years was not as big as these months.

"No, I just did what I was supposed to do." Liang En smiled and shook his head. "After all, this land is my pioneering land, and of course I have the obligation to develop this place well."

"But anyway, I've been doing everything to you lately." Ao Lei smiled, and then opened a box. "Okay, let's not talk about so many serious things today, let's play Shuanglu."

As she spoke, she took out an extremely ornate enamel box, which contained chess pieces made of the finest Hetian green and white jade, as well as six ivory dice.

As for the reason for choosing this game, it is also very simple, since both of them are transcendental, far superior to ordinary people in every aspect, so those games that test skill, reflexes or strength will obviously not be too interesting for them.

On the contrary, this kind of game is a game that depends on luck to win or lose, so that they can have some suspense when playing the game, and then have fun from this kind of game.

"Hey, what are you still doing, why don't you choose chess pieces?" Seeing that Liang En was slow to move, Ao Lei pointed to the solid chess pieces carved into bells on the chessboard and asked.

"Because I haven't touched this thing before, I can't play with it." Liang En scratched his hair a little embarrassed, after all, this ancient game in the modern world is just a historical term.

Since the game has been lost for hundreds of years, most people in the modern world, except for a few academics, have never even heard of it, let alone played it.

"Ah, I forgot you were from overseas

Came back." Hearing Liang En say this, Ao Lei showed a sudden realization expression, and then took out the chess pieces and said.

"But it's a simple game, so it's not hard to learn, huh...... Let's start by understanding these pieces and what they do in the game—"

As a game that has been widely used in history, Shuanglu is naturally not a very brain-burning existence, not to mention that Liang En is also a cultivator whose body has been repeatedly strengthened.

So in just ten minutes, Liang En learned the game, and then played with Ao Lei.

The two men take turns rolling the dice, and then move the pieces according to the number of points they had thrown. But I don't know if it's a matter of luck Most of the time, I can't throw the points I want, and I lost seven in a row in one go.

"Let's eat something first." At the end of the seventh round, Ao Lei stopped and took out a luodian lacquer plate from her body that was as gorgeous as the Shuanglu flag box, and then took out one blue and white porcelain plate after another filled with various foods.

Most of these foods are dim sum, but unlike what you might expect, these dim sum seem to be mainly salty, such as some puff pastries, pies, and even sashimi on top of some kind of small snack.

Liang En also took out the various snacks he had purchased from the space and put them on a silver plate, and then placed them on the same large lacquer plate.

"It smells so good!" Just as Liang En took out the plate, Ao Lei twitched her nose vigorously, because a smell of milky and sweet fragrance mixed together instantly filled the surroundings.

Unlike traditional Chinese dim sum, these Western-style dim sums are infused with a lot of milk, resulting in a completely different flavor from the traditional flavor.

Especially with the addition of a series of spices such as chocolate and vanilla, which are almost never found here in this era, these snacks naturally aroused Ao Lei's curiosity.

"Well, it's delicious." After eating a chocolate cake, the corners of Ao Lei's mouth hooked up and a bright smile appeared.

"I can't believe that the same flour, milk and sugar can make such a trick."

After all, the pursuit of sugar and fat is based on biological instinct, and the snacks brought by Liang En this time obviously fully meet the needs of biological bodies for sugar and fat.

"Actually, these things are much easier to make than your traditional ones. It's just that there are some spices from afar."

Liang En said as he picked up a piece of dragon whisker cake and put it in his mouth, and the dim sum melted into his mouth in an instant, and there was a sweet taste that was slightly different from similar dim sum in the modern world.

After swallowing the snack in his mouth, Liang En gave a thumbs up. "At least in terms of craftsmanship, they can't compare to these dragon whiskers."

"If you like it, just eat it." Ao Lei smiled and took out a tea cake and put it in a paper bag and baked it on the silver stove, baked until the tea cake turned red before taking it out and breaking it, and then mixed the tea powder into a paste and poured boiling water to brew it, while stirring it with a tea whisk.

"This is the tribute dragon group, how about you taste it?"

After the brewing was over, Ao Lei picked up the cup and put it in front of Liang En, and then made a gesture of please.
