Chapter 120: Stepping Stones
After some research on Xiao He's new abilities, the next step is to study the abilities of the newly joined member Chen Ting.
When Xiao He's mission came here, he also announced that it would be over, and then they both got into the car home.
Xiao He couldn't tell whether the "perfect cube" ability is good or bad. The ability that can only be used for defense cannot determine the situation of the battle. Although it is good to have an extra ability, Chen Ting would have a little loss if he could only provide such a superpower.
An excellent trigger should be able to trigger multiple abilities of his.
For example, Jin Shaokang, he can provide Xiao He with three superpowers: physical fitness, defense and mental power, which is an excellent trigger. Unfortunately... this guy refuses to cooperate.
However, because Chen Ting's special ability, it is difficult for Xiao He to relax his vigilance against this little devil, which allows him to use it as a long-term trigger in the future. I believe it can play a role in the competition of mutants.
"Hey, Lao Xiao, it's still early now. Should we go to the supermarket?" Ye Wanqing looked at the time and said.
"What are you going to buy?" Xiao He asked curiously.
"It's a rare opportunity to apply for a card. I have to check out the special products occasionally." Ye Wanqing said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay." Xiao He said in a lengthened tone, and then replied to Li Zhiqiang in front: "Brother Li, then wait and stop at the entrance of HuaL Supermarket in front."
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the HuaL Supermarket at their doorstep, and the two of them came to the supermarket and started shopping.
"Old Xiao, look at this." Ye Wanqing grabbed a box of chicken legs in her hand and smiled at him, "The special offer is, two big chicken legs are only sold for ten yuan! Let's buy them back to make roasted chicken legs?"
Ye Wanqing's innocent look made Xiao He's heart beat faster: He can be so cute and sweet, why do he always feel angry like a little puffer fish when he is in front of him?
"Buy it." Xiao He nodded with a smile.
Ye Wanqing put the chicken legs into the shopping cart and continued to choose, but when she lowered her head, a cute dazed hair rose up on the top of her head, so Xiao He reached out to help her smooth it out.
Ye Wanqing had long been used to this, so she didn't care and continued to focus on choosing: "Hey, this alkaline noodles are also a special offer, but will it not be very fresh after being put on for a day..."
This girl is happier than shopping malls when she is shopping in the vegetable market. She is really cute. Xiao He didn't bother her, but just held her hand while watching her talk to herself.
Until he finished buying, he came to the cashier to prepare for payment, Ye Wanqing secretly glanced at the shelves on the side.
I wonder if Lao Xiao would buy me candy? Ye Wanqing suddenly thought about it, and then she complained to herself: Why do I think so? I don’t like eating candy...
However, after buying the order, Ye Wanqing was a little angry again: This guy really doesn't know romance at all...
But at this time, Xiao He suddenly poked Ye Wanqing's face, and Ye Wanqing was angry at that time: "What are you doing?!"
"Here." Xiao He raised his hand, and Ye Wanqing realized that what Xiao He used to poke her in the face was a lollipop.
"It's grape-flavored." Xiao He smiled, Ye Wanqing's mouth raised slightly, and he snatched the lollipop and snorted: "You still remember... Otherwise, you won't eat braised fish when you go back later."
As he said that, Ye Wanqing tore open the wrapping paper and put the lollipop in it. The grapes smelled a little sour, but she felt very sweet.
After buying things, the two of them were about to walk home. Because the apartment was near the school, when passing by the campus gate, Ye Wanqing suddenly pulled him, pointed to the roadside and said, "Hey, Lao Xiao, that..."
Xiao He turned his head curiously and looked at it, then saw a somewhat familiar Bentley.
"Isn't that who?" Xiao He frowned and thought for a while. He only remembered that he was the school beauty, but he couldn't remember the name of the school beauty.
Ye Wan nodded: "Well, it's the school beauty's boyfriend's car. I didn't expect to meet it here."
"Yes, I'll go up and kick it again." Xiao He said with a smile, and was about to step forward.
"Oh! Don't!" Ye Wanqing quickly grabbed him and frowned and said, "Go back and make delicious food for you, be good."
"Okay then." Xiao He shrugged and followed Ye Wanqing obediently.
However, Xiao He noticed that the other side of the car was surrounded by people, and he was immediately wondering: Didn’t this guy really hit someone? If so, I will report him.
But after they walked around to the other side, they found that Zhang Yuxin's boyfriend was actually proposing to her on the other side of the car!
Hundreds of candles were placed on the ground, forming a love shape, and then the rose petals were used to form Zhang Yuxin's name. Zhang Yuxin's boyfriend was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand and knelt in front of Zhang Yuxin on one knee. A large number of onlookers were taking pictures of the two protagonists wildly, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Look at me, how romantic..." Ye Wanqing murmured from the side, glared at Xiao He, "Learn to learn."
"What's the romance about this? Isn't it just burning money?" Xiao He rolled his eyes, "As long as you don't mind me bringing a few 'Lin Tiannan', I can even bring you to the moon and have a candlelight dinner before coming back. Is this romantic enough?"
"Puff!" Ye Wanqing was amused by him, and then poked his face unhappily: "Is it a romantic fart to bring some Lin Tiannan? Are you stupid?"
"Then you are amused by me." Xiao He said carelessly.
"Oh, you hate it..." Ye Wanqing pinched Xiao He's arm and complained, but at this time she suddenly noticed the bouquet of flowers.
The bouquet in Zhang Yuxin's boyfriend's hand turned out to be not roses, but bouquets made of stacks of soft sister coins. Judging from the weight of the big bouquet, there are at least hundreds of thousands.
"It's been lowered many levels in a moment..." Ye Wanqing lowered her eyelids and complained, "It's full of earthy smell... Let's go. Lao Xiao?"
At this moment, Xiao He was observing Zhang Yuxin's boyfriend. He had a relationship with this guy, but today the feeling this man gave him was a little different from last time.
Last time, the man was arrogant, arrogant and cynical, but now he is as humble as a dog, staring at Zhang Yuxin in front of him with a fascination, as if he has become a different person.
However, Zhang Yuxin did not change anything significantly. She was still as always decorated with brand-name clothes, bags, shoes and thick makeup. She held her arms and looked at the man in front of her, with a subtle expression on her face.
Rather than joy and happiness, it is... pride, and even a little bit of a revenge, as if saying, "I finally fell down under my pomegranate skirt?"
It is better to have a little puffer fish. Xiao He nodded. Although he didn't know why Zhang Yuxin's boyfriend was so fascinated and turned his sex, he was not interested, so he waved to Ye Wanqing: "Let's go and go home."
"Do you think her boyfriend is strange?" Ye Wanqing held his arm and said, "I followed the demon."
"Did you find out too?" Xiao He asked curiously, and Ye Wanqing nodded with a lollipop in her mouth: "The feeling that was not what that person gave when he sent her to school last time."
"Stop worrying, neither of them are good people..." Xiao He urged her little hand, "Go home and have a meal."
"Yeah." Ye Wanqian nodded, then turned to him and said with a smile: "What do you want to eat at night? There are fish at home. Is it good to cook a braised fish? Then fry a tofu and stir-fry a water spinach."
"Okay! I can eat three bowls of rice with braised fish!" Xiao He nodded and said excitedly.
Every time he said he was happy and cute... Ye Wanqing couldn't help thinking to Xiao He.
After arriving at home, the two of them went back to their room to change their clothes.
Ye Wanqing changed into a home furnishing suit, with a small white knitted suspender inside, a gray wool cardigan on the outside, and a light orange loose cropped pants on the bottom. In fact, this outfit looks a bit aunty-style, but when worn on Ye Wanqing, it makes her look very small and slender, but also highlights her chest with a particularly majestic appearance.
The most eye-catching thing is that Ye Wanqing tied her hair up.
Because her hair is very short, she can barely tie a small tuck in the back of her head. Xiao He was moved: Is this little tuck too cute?
Xiao He couldn't help but stretch out his index finger, gently tweeted the small braid on the back of her head and joked: "Oh, is your hair tied up?"
"Yes, this is more convenient for doing things." Ye Wanqing rolled up her sleeves and tied her waist as she said.
Her posture is very skillful, with a gentle and delicate aura, and her wife is full of charm, making Xiao He unable to turn his eyes away. Ye Wanqing's face is expressionless, and she feels secretly happy: Idiot, staring at her intently...
"Old Xiao, help me take the cooking wine from above and peel me some garlic." Ye Wanqing stood in front of the stove and prepared to deal with the fish.
"Oh, wait a moment!" Xiao He said, rushed to the room, then took two stainless steel finger condoms and handed them to Ye Wanqing, and said with a smile: "Come on, if you put this on, you won't be able to cut your hands."
Ye Wanqing glanced at him and couldn't help laughing: "No, I don't feel anything if I put it on."
"I don't feel it, but it's safe!" Xiao He frowned.
"Oh, if you don't wear it, it will affect my performance." Ye Wanqing acted coquettishly and directly changed the topic: "Okay, just peel the garlic quickly for me, and then cut some chopped green onions. Make it early, and you can eat it early."
"Okay..." Xiao He shrugged and began to help Ye Wanqing. The cooperation between the two began to gradually become tacit.
Although Xiao He knows how to cook, he is strong and patient. He can help with peeling garlic and washing vegetables.
This reminded Xiao He of the scene when his parents were cooking in the kitchen when he was at home, which was particularly warm.
After dinner was ready, they sat down in the living room. Ye Wanqing turned on the TV.
But there was a news broadcast on TV at this moment, which was about the "mutant competition" event that Country M strongly recommended. Judging from the release time, it was the new news released by foreign media a few hours ago.
Cui Man had already told them about this in advance, so Xiao He was not very surprised, but he did not expect Congress M to be public in front of the world so soon. He originally thought that such a big event would be discussed after he was ready...
"I am planning to rely on the power of the media and public opinion to force other countries to submit..." Xiao He frowned and thought to himself.
Although the influence of M country has gradually declined recently, the lean camels are bigger than horses. Under the coercion of various means, there are currently R country, H country, A and most countries in the continental continents that agree to participate in this competition.
In addition, YD and E Ross agreed to participate after being provoked. In this way, although Huaxia has not yet given an answer, this competition is basically a foregone conclusion.
At present, these news are only for publicity purposes. After all, this competition will be broadcast live. Although the participating countries claim to be for the purpose of communicating with mutants from various countries and allowing the public to further understand mutants, this rare opportunity to make money cannot be missed.
After all, this is an unprecedented competition for mutants. It has been less than half a year since the mutants appeared. Most people’s understanding of mutants is limited to promotional videos. Not to mention watching the battle between mutants on the spot, they have never seen the mutants display their abilities several times.
Therefore, this event is like traveling to the Marvel world to watch "Avengers". This gimmick alone can attract audiences from all over the world to watch, and the ticket prices will probably be sold at sky-high prices.
What's more, the mutants in this competition still represent their own country. Just like the Olympics, everyone hopes that their players can win.
The economic benefits created under such a huge amount of attention are the fundamental reason why multiple countries agree to participate: Who would participate in such a competition without money?
It is precisely because of this that countries have begun to promote this game early and are preparing to attract sponsorship and advertising.
"It feels like it's going to be amazing... this competition." Xiao He said while eating, "I can't let my parents see..."
"Well..." Ye Wanqing nodded, then reminded: "Don't talk while eating fish, be careful of being stuck."
On the streets of M Country, JJ Mountain, a decadent playboy young man stood on the street, looking at the news about "mutant competition", a twisted smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Mutualist competition? It means that all mutants will participate, right? Then Yinglong will go too?" The young man clapped his hands, with a blue snake tattoo engraved on the back of his left hand, and a blue snake tattoo engraved on the back of his right hand. He gritted his teeth and grinned and said to himself, "It's interesting... My chance to become a 'god' has finally come."
As he said that, the young man walked forward and passed by a magazine stall, he found a "M Country Hero Manual", so he threw a note to the boss and grabbed the hero manual.
After opening it, the above is an introduction to the existing mutants in their country M. Although the ability is not fully introduced and the names are all code names, the personnel are very detailed. The information about each mutant that has been disclosed is in this manual.
"Hmph, it's interesting..." The young man grinned, "Let me see, who should I choose the first stepping stone?"
Then, the young man targeted one of them and smiled and said, "Oh? 'Demonic Man', can transform into the appearance of others... Such a useless ability is worthy of being called a hero? Be my stepping stone."
After saying that, the young man rolled up the magazine in his hand and stuffed it into his arms, then put on the hat of his clothes, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
