Shen Bai did not look back, but smiled secretly in his heart.

Oops, there's another pretentious one.

——Black coffee, no sugar, no milk, is this what the hell humans drink?

To be honest, he would rather lick the soles of his sister Mao Er's feet.

The girl form is the best, and Shen Bai doesn't mind the black cat form.

Bliss~ Hey hey hey...

He was having fun in front of the bar, but he didn't expect that the new guest would sit not far from him. Shen Bai quickly put away his smile to avoid being mistaken for a pervert.

Not long after, the boss brought the black coffee. The new customer said thank you, but did not drink it directly. Instead, he took out a small paper bag from his suit pocket and sprinkled the powder inside into the coffee skillfully.

The man picked up the cup and took a sip. His expression was not at all uncomfortable, but full of elegant comfort.

When Shen Bai saw this scene, he was a little curious and secretly looked at the new guest.

He is probably in his thirties, elegant and handsome, wearing black-rimmed glasses. Although he is tall and straight after wearing a suit, he does not have the slightest aura of intimidation on his body. Instead, he is quiet and gentle, which makes people feel good just looking at him.

While drinking coffee, the man took out a pen and paper from his computer bag and kept writing something.

He was probably a teacher or scholar, this was Shen Bai's first thought.

Shen Bai secretly looked at him for a long time, and finally couldn't bear his curiosity. He stepped forward softly and asked politely:

"Excuse me, sir."

The man raised his head and smiled:

"It's okay, young man, what's wrong?"

"It's no big deal..." Shen Bai's aura was completely suppressed in front of him, and he automatically entered the state of facing the teacher:

"I saw you put some strange powder in the black coffee before you drank it... May I ask, is that powdered sugar? You drank it very happily..."

"Oh, this." The man took out another small paper bag from his pocket, unfolded it, and laid it flat on the table:

"This is the powder of the rhizome of the sage. I exposed it to the sun, then soaked it in salt water for three to five days. After it dried, it had magical effects."

The man folded the paper bag carefully and handed it to Shen Bai's hand, with a friendly smile in his eyes:

"Young man, if you don't mind, take it and try it."

Although he knew that "don't eat food given by strangers casually", the man's gentle and elegant temperament was so outstanding that Shen Bai felt in his heart that he could not be a bad person.

So after thanking him, Shen Bai poured the packet of powder into the coffee, smelled it, and took a tentative sip.

The delicious taste burst out from the depths of his tongue. Shen Bai's eyes lit up and he ran over happily, praising:

“Your secret recipe is really amazing!”

"Haha, young man, the meaning of good food is sharing." The man smiled and said:

"If you want to drink coffee in the future, you can make chisel powder according to what I just said, but remember, the exposure time should not be too long, as it will produce too many alkaline substances." He paused, feeling quite emotional. typical:

"A worthless weed with an astringent and slightly bitter taste can actually make bitter coffee delicious. The magic of nature deserves our eternal awe."

This natural way of expressing great truths convinced Shen Bai that this man was definitely a teacher.

He was very fond of this kind of calm and gentle intellectual, so he smiled and replied:

"Isn't it true that this kind of bitter drink is what mature men like? Why do you come to your place and try every means to make it taste better?"

"Young man, this is just the pretentious rhetoric of adults." The man winked at Shen Bai and said mysteriously:

"Let me tell you another secret. I just picked up a pen and paper to write. I just thought this posture goes well with drinking coffee."

"Hahaha..." Shen Bai was overjoyed, feeling that there were so many interesting people in the world.

But at this time, the man looked at the time, stood up and apologized:

"Sorry, young man, it was nice chatting with you, but I have something else to do, so..."

"It's okay, it's okay, you are busy with your business."

"Okay..." The man nodded and smiled, took out a white business card from his pocket and handed it to Shen Bai:

"See you later, young man."

Shen Bai watched the man leave, returned to his seat, and drank the black coffee in one breath.

Today, I really learned a very interesting skill.

He thought and looked at the business card in his hand.

The business card is pure white, with no redundant decorations. The simple music is simple and elegant, and a line of beautiful regular script is generously engraved in the center. It was obviously written by the man himself.

[Guangming University, flower and plant researcher, full professor, Luo Hebei].

…

One hundred and twenty-five kilometers outside Lanhai City, in an unknown hill.

A man and a woman were walking slowly along the flowing stream. If anyone were here, they would bow their heads deeply and show great respect to them.

The man is Chen Jinge, the garrison envoy of Lanhai City, with the king's nickname "Jiuxiao"!

The woman is Su Mengyan, the envoy of Qiming City, whose nickname is "Buyan"!

In the eyes of outsiders, although the Twin Cities Alliance was formed, Su Mengyan did not attend the ceremony that day. It was obvious that there was a rift between the two parties, and they should even be secretly tit for tat.

But there was no one around at this time, but the atmosphere between the two of them was very good... no, it was a little too good.

It's not "there is a gap", it's clearly "there is a gap"!

"Mengyan, thank you for supporting me..." Chen Jinge said. The originally domineering man now showed a gentleness that is rare for ordinary people:

"They all said that I was crazy. I wanted to use the power of the two cities to push the enemy to the old land... Oh, of course the victory rate would be higher if we let the enemy in and fight in a familiar environment, but tens of millions of people in our two cities What should I do? Thousands of miles of scorched earth is not just talk. That is not my style, Chen Jinge. No matter it is aberration or anything else, I cannot retreat. If I want to fight, I will fight to their hometown!"

Su Mengyan didn't speak, she just hooked Chen Jinge's hand with her white little finger and looked at him with a smile.

A woman whose nickname is "Silent" is naturally extremely taciturn.

Chen Jinge looked at her submissive and gentle look, and his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. The domineering and iron-blooded man showed an apology that was rarely seen by others:

"I'm sorry, Mengyan, I've always been like this... I've offended too many people, and I always do thankless things. That's why I can't be crowned king with just one word, and I can't let you enjoy the glory..." He paused and whispered softly. road:

"This time, I want to intercept all the intruders from the old lands outside Lanhai City, and never allow them to enter the mainland... But the high-level deformed mutants are really powerful. If things don't work out, I will burn [Emperor's Blood] and destroy them. The enemy has been blocked underground for a period of time. At that time, Mengyan, I hope you can return to the surface quickly..."

Before Chen Jinge could finish speaking, Su Mengyan covered his mouth with her fingers. The taciturn woman spoke for the first time today, her voice soft, but full of a strong will that could not be changed even if the world collapsed:
