But shortly after the end of World War II, a cook in western Sichuan who retired from His Majesty Ning's army due to injury returned to his hometown and planned to use a secret he learned in the army - a pot of soup that is often boiled to cook the dishes.
When the new dish that can be eaten is named hot pot and is introduced to the public...
That night, he was put in a sack by unknown gangsters and beaten severely, and they only hit his face.
This abominable incident of beating and humiliating a decorated disabled veteran aroused great indignation among people.
A few days later, when all the evidence pointed to someone, when that person faced the police officers who came to his home, he was shocked and plausibly defended that he had been watching Magic at home thousands of miles away in the far north that night.
, when there was evidence of alibi - everyone was dumbfounded.
Everyone knows that even if it is a murder that occurs in another dimension, it is impossible for Mr. Hot Pot to have an alibi.
…
In the end, His Majesty had no choice but to issue an amnesty order to Mr. Hot Pot, and the matter was settled legally.
Of course, in people's minds, this matter has long been settled since all the evidence pointed to the hot pot master. Even the beaten cook had no complaints, but happily changed the name of his hot pot to hot pot and won a big award.
Sell.
As for why, everyone knows that even though Mr. Hot Pot didn’t have much combat power at that time, without him in World War II, the human world of Mountain and Sea would very likely... be overturned.
This anecdote may give us some inspiration. Of course, I will not prove it. I don’t want someone to be put in a sack by unknown gangsters in the middle of the night and beaten to a black and bruised face.

A few days later.
The entrance to the temporary campsite.
"Purchase magic cores in large quantities for 300 yuan each. Be honest, and those with the best quality can be interviewed. Those who supply a large amount of magic cores can also get the secrets to advance to the next level. Yes, you read that right, including Yang Linkai and Xiao Ledong.
The talented demon warriors and others will give you tips on how to advance to the next level! This opportunity must not come back again. Demon warriors, are you excited? Then act quickly!"
Xiao Ledong stared at an advertisement posted on a big tree at the camp entrance and read it word for word.
Then, with a weird look on his face, he turned around and asked the sentry on duty: "Damn it, there are advertising slogans in this place - what kind of bastard is so boring and dares to use my brother's name to show off... You also allow him to post it?"
Just ignore it? Even if it is posted by those scholars, at least inform the group leader and tell me the genius demon who needs to personally teach them the secret to advancing to the next level?"
…
The sentry had a weird expression on his face: "How dare we care... This is what the general posted. Here, I still have a dozen of them here."
He had already pulled out a large stack of advertising paper from his arms, and Xiao Ledong's face was filled with pain.
"The general ordered me to post this first whenever I camp somewhere - several demon war brothers who have been promoted have already taken advantage of their rotation to take a long bath to remove the smell of the medicine, and then went into the forest to do business."
Xiao Ledong was even more stunned when he heard this.
"Although he said that we only need to defend the scientific expedition team, and even though His Majesty also told us to practice more combat skills - but he has a funny brain, is he so boring? Use money to buy magic cores to play with?"
he murmured.
…
"Because of my son..." A voice sounded faintly behind him, startling Xiao Ledong.
When he turned around, he saw it was Xie Ning.
His eyes were all red and bloodshot, and he didn't seem to be awake. The little beast he was holding in his arms was the little beast he picked up last time - well, it could also be said to be his son.
"Brother, it's like you fought for 300 rounds with countless monsters or women last night. Are you okay?" Xiao Ledong glanced at Xie Ning up and down, with a look of dumbfounding on his face.
"Something's wrong with me, I think I'm going crazy..."
Xie Ning looked helplessly at the little beast that was happily playing with a white mouse in his arms - this little white mouse was the same one that he had seen when he was holding the little beast in his arms to see the scientific expedition team study the space passage.
The little white mouse was very curious and cried and fussed immediately. He had to be shy and did it in the eyes of those scholars who couldn't laugh or cry.
"This man in my arms is not my son, he is my ancestor." He said sadly.
"I have to eat five meals a day, and only the tenderest monster meat is eaten. It must be the right temperature for me to set fire to barbecue myself. I have to sleep with a few monster cores every night, otherwise they will roll on my face all night long.
Rolling back and forth, making a lot of noise."
"You must be held by me during the day, otherwise you will roll around on the ground and refuse to leave. If you see anything curious, you will have to take a bite or get it to play with, otherwise you will cry just like that day."
…
When he said this, Xie Ning softened his tone and stroked the little beast who was playing happily with the white mouse.
Then, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and continued angrily: "Compared to us human babies, he develops extremely fast. A few days ago, he still had rutal teeth - those rutal teeth were actually so sharp that they could bite through them.
I won’t talk about my fingers. I had my teeth replaced yesterday, and then I started grinding my teeth.”
"I just grind my teeth, and I even get up in the middle of the night to grind them - I almost thought a ghost was coming."
"I finally got him to sleep again, but when I woke up in the morning, I saw that a hole had been chewed into my tent. The feet near the hole were covered in ice. If I hadn't been a big demon, I would have caught a cold -
- This is not a son, this is clearly an ancestor. He has deceived his father and me."
Xie Ning looked sad.
The face of the playful little beast seemed to be red, and it rubbed its furry head into his father's arms in a comforting manner, and then played with the white mouse heartlessly.
Xiao Ledong was holding his belly and laughing wildly.
…
"Nai, hello, Nai. Yes, everything we got that day was given to you. I, I'll get it for you when I get back." He said out of breath.
Immediately, he asked doubtfully: "By the way, didn't your son just...his mother..."
"He is not sensible yet. Although he develops very fast, I estimate that it is at most equivalent to the IQ of our children of a few years old. Have you ever seen a child of a few years old understand what it means? If you cry, you will forget it.
You won’t know until you grow up.”
"What's more, his mother just left temporarily, and his father is by his side."
Seeing the little beast looking over in confusion, Xie Ning smiled, winked at Xiao Ledong, and said lightly.
"I understand. Indeed, although I am a little unhappy that my mother is not around, she will naturally come back to see him when he grows up." Xiao Ledong nodded understandingly.
The little beast looked at the two adults and seemed to think that he didn't understand what was going on, so he happily started playing with the white mouse again.
…
"By the way, what are we going to eat today? How about... let's try the hot pot you made for us that day? Speaking of which, I didn't expect that Xie Ning has a talent for cooking inventions." He admired, his face already salivating.
Yu dripping look.
"Forget about that damn hot pot!" Xie Ning suddenly felt heartbroken: "I shouldn't have had a sudden idea that day and made him a hot pot meal to please him. Now he will make trouble with me if he doesn't eat hot pot for a day -"
"Son, listen to me. I have decided that your nickname from now on will be hot pot! Anyway, you look like a puppy. If you are naughty again, I will make you into a dog meat hot pot and eat it!"
Xie Ning suddenly lowered his head and threatened the little beast in his arms fiercely.
The little beast, who was playing with the white mouse, suddenly stirred up and rubbed it on Xie Ning with drooling water. He lifted the struggling white mouse with both paws and pushed it to Xie Ning with all his strength.
It was barking, wagging its short little tail, and looking like a pug.
Xiao Ledong couldn't help laughing wildly again.

"Academician, we expect to complete the data collection of this space channel tonight."
In the big tent of the center, a researcher hurried over and reported to Academician Qian who was thinking about something.
"Well, that's good. After the collection is completed, you are ready to pack up. I will inform His Highness Ning to prepare to break camp tomorrow. We only have the last investigation topic left - what is weird about the Demonic Field of the Far North and the depths of the Far North?
." Academician Qian's face was full of joy.
…
When Academician Qian found Xie Ning, she immediately thought...well, the depths of the far north are really weird.
Xie Ning is playing with the dog - this is just what he calls himself. In fact, His Highness has been played with by the dog.
In the past few days, in addition to meditating and practicing his magic combat skills, he spent all day long with this little dog, which he called Little Hot Pot. He would take it with him even when inspecting defense and assisting in scientific expeditions.
I don’t know where he suddenly got this puppy. It’s extremely smart, not to mention adorable, and it’s really hard to toss people around. But this His Highness treats it like a treasure, being careful and accepting every turn.
.
…
Sometimes, when the little beast makes trouble and rolls around unreasonably, others can't stand it, but as soon as it cries, His Highness will look deeply, sigh and let it go.
It was as if what he was holding in his arms was his own son - you could even hear him holding it and his son screaming.
God, when did grown men become obsessed with pets? Moreover, even if you have special hobbies, even if you raise a son, that’s not how you raise him?
Academician Qian stared at Xie Ning who was playing with the puppy and secretly cursed.
…
"Your Highness, all our data has been collected and we can break camp tomorrow." She took a few steps forward and reminded her gently.
"Ah? Oh, okay." Xie Ning raised his head and saw Academician Qian staring at him with a hint of embarrassment on his face. He chuckled and nodded.
