The scorching sun scorched the earth, scorching the entire mountain into a boiling furnace. Dressed in loose uniforms and revealing large swaths of dark brown skin tanned by ultraviolet rays, the excavators were sweating in a clearing with hammers or shovels.

A shovel landed in the soil with a crunch of gold and iron. The shovel-wielding staff member raised an eyebrow, and with some hesitation, he pushed aside the dirt to see what was hidden beneath the soil.

A strange spherical object, the entire shell has no lines or bumps, and the whole thing looks like a shiny black jade.

"I've found something here!"

As soon as he shouted, everyone around him immediately came forward to watch. I saw that the sphere was smooth to the touch, and there seemed to be endless mysteries hidden under the black exterior. From a distance, it looks like a star in the night, and it seems to be still twinkling with a mysterious light.

The excavators held it in the palm of their hands and looked at the sunlight for a moment. I felt that the dark black on its surface was quite saturated, as if any light and color would be swallowed up by it.

"It's not like a regular excavation. Should we contact Tianyan? ”

"Not necessarily. It doesn't look like it's"

"Something is wrong." A young man holding the device looked up in surprise, "It's being activated, there's some kind of energy in it, it's about to be."

Before the words fell, a surging shockwave had already erupted.

The sound came from nowhere, as if the gods were angry, and the entire excavation site suddenly sank downward, like an invisible giant palm slamming into the cracked earth.

Exclamations immediately filled the scene. Light, sound, temperature, all the senses are turned upside down. Under the scorching sun, the earth sun was divided into the territory of fear by the invisible authority, and it was as if time and space collapsed at that moment.

In an instant, the excavation site was completely transformed, and any sound stopped as if a silent hand was stuck in the throat. And the forbidden realm still didn't even mean to stop, but continued to expand as if it was about to devour everything, extending to the peaceful town not far away.

"Let's eat~"

Xiao Qi forcibly dragged Jiang Bei from the control interface in the hall. Jiang Bei reluctantly left his panel and was forced to come to the dining table.

After being promoted to Sequence B, the extraordinary skills seen in the list have also unlocked a lot, and there are many small directions attached to each major direction ability.

For example, under the large framework of the thermal line of sight, there are branches that are specialized according to different directions such as heat, cutting, impact, and perspective described by Xiao Qi before. Super strength also focuses on different aspects such as punching, bouncing, and weightlifting on the basis of basic arm strength.

Then, when different abilities are combined with the ancillary effects of the bio-force field, a variety of functions with different emphases will be derived.

In short, it's dizzying to watch, and it seems a bit of a struggle just to sort out the whole system of the various branches.

The tableware on the table has long been arranged, and the white tablecloth is neatly spread. Xiao Qi brought the steaming dishes to the table, and he still wore an apron for cooking.

It was her new apron for her new interests, embroidered with a cute Pikachu.

Not to mention, she does look more and more housewife now.

Jiang Bei came to the table and was surprised to find that there were actually three seats prepared on the side of the table today. In the third position, there is a small panda lying on its stomach

The reason why it is lying on its stomach and not sitting is because it is indeed a little too small. The table is too tall for the pocket-sized size of the little bean that has not been transformed. The whole bear was basically standing on a chair, with two short paws resting on the table, waiting for the meal to begin.

Jiangbei was at a loss: "What is it doing here?" ”

"Eat. It's better to eat together. ”

Xiao Qi smiled and gave it a large bowl full of fried rice with bamboo shoots, and the side dishes were two pieces of extraordinary ore. Xiao Douding was moved to tears, as if he had reached the peak of Xiongsheng.

"I've trained hard today, so I'm going to eat better."

Jiang Bei noticed that Xiao Douding seemed to be soaked in the training room all morning.

is dying, this stupid panda that is lazy and lazy will actually take the initiative to train?

"Oh, because it said it was too enjoyable from the last mission and wants to go again. So it trains hard, hoping to get its next mission opportunity as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Qi said while adding food to Jiangbei.

Jiangbei: "."

Imagine that it should and does have fun eating. You can imagine it by looking at the painful expression on the face of the person in charge of Tianyan in Haiming Town.

Xiao Douding ate a large bite of bamboo shoots and screamed as he bit it.

"It asks when the next mission will be, and it can't wait."

Sure enough, dry rice is the primary productive force, and only the urge to eat can drive a sloth bear to stop rotting.

"Here, your meal. Not enough to tell me~"

"Thank you."

Jiangbei took the rice handed by Xiao Qi.

In all fairness, he felt that Xiao Qi's progress was really fast. Not long ago, her dark cuisine was almost unspeakable, but now she has completely defeated him, the master who introduced the door.

Today's main course is sea bass, sprinkled with the honey sauce she learned from her cooking bloggers, and it is grilled to a crispy outside and tender on the inside.

The side dishes include stir-fried greens, which are chewy and slightly sweet and crispy. There is also a dish of garlic broccoli, which has a refreshing taste with garlic aroma.

The aroma is overflowing, and the presentation is quite exquisite, so you can see that it must have taken a lot of thought.

made Jiangbei feel more and more that it was a wise decision to teach her to cook at that time.

"Is it delicious?" Xiao Qi looked forward to it.

Jiangbei also praised at the right time: "It's delicious." ”

Xiao Qi smiled with satisfaction and crossed his waist proudly: "That must." It's a special recipe that I've been learning for a long time, and I've made some of my own improvements.

I know you like soybean paste? In the afternoon, I went to the old store to buy it in person."

Jiangbei was stunned for a moment, a little strange: "How do you know that I like to eat soybean sauce?" ”

He used to be very fond of eating, mainly when he was an undergraduate. But once I ate too much in one breath and hurt a little, and then I slowly ate less and didn't think about it again.

I haven't touched it for a long time, and I will taste it again, and I really think it's pretty good. But the problem is, he remembered that he had never mentioned it.

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said casually: "Oh, you must have mentioned it, but you don't remember." ”

"Is that so?" Jiangbei is suspicious.

He wasn't impressed. I don't think I said it, right?

Just thinking about it, I suddenly saw a message flashing in the light curtain.

From modules bound to the Coalition Mission Search.

"Another name popped up?"

Since the last upgrade of the Endless Hall, all modules have improved in all aspects, and the quest module is no exception.

Jiangbei has roughly understood the operation of this task module. Like the super AI machine that appeared in the very early TV series "Suspect Tracking", it monitors all cameras and communication devices in real time, and extracts names through a large amount of information.

Each name represents a person who is about to be involved in a dangerous event. That person's role in the incident could be either the victim or the perpetrator.

The task module is similar, except that its monitoring indicators are more extensive than simple communication equipment and network information. Its principle is not to monitor information data, but to calculate and predict a person's future trajectory in a more essential way.

Generally speaking, every time a name appears, Jiangbei will first assign an alliance member to investigate, understand the specific situation of the matter, and conduct task ratings. If it can be handled, the member will solve it on the spot, and if not, the alliance will send another suitable person.

But this time, the content in the interface is unprecedented. He had never seen anything like it before, so his first instinct was a blank thought in his head - this thing is broken?

Because it's really abnormal.

He saw many, many names.

Densely packed, row by row, column by column.

occupies the entire field of view in the light curtain.
