On June 30, Year 831 of the Galaxy Common Calendar, the God of War Festival, which has been brewing for nearly a year and has been anticipated by all audiences across the Galaxy, has finally come to its opening moment.
But all I saw was that the entire sky was filled with gongs, drums, firecrackers, red flags, and huge crowds of people... Well, anyway, as long as you know, from June 20th to 30th, in less than two weeks,
This is evident from the fact that nearly 100 billion foreign and foreign tourists have poured into Tianyu. This is because the empire has always implemented a very strict and even strict security inspection system at the borders and in the imperial capital.
Two months ago, the terrorist activities that cast a shadow over the entire empire and the emergency martial law that made the entire galaxy seem to have passed away.
Yu Lian got up at 4 o'clock in the morning, not because he wanted to see the imperial capital at this time, nor because he was too nervous to sleep, but because he wanted to make the final preparations for the God of War Festival in advance.
He took out a complete set of outdoor travel clothes, looked at the "Star Step" company logo on the back of the travel clothes, and couldn't help curling his lips.
This company is a sportswear brand jointly established by the Community and the Alliance, and its development trend in the past ten years can be regarded as rapid. It is also one of Yu Lian's main sponsors of the God of War Festival, and requires Yu Lian to use it in the God of War Festival.
Wilderness and jungle travel packages provided by Star Tread Company.
Having said that, the quality of this specially customized travel suit is quite good, and when the time comes to put a protective suit inside, it will be able to meet most travel and defense requirements.
It's just that the logo of "Star Step Company" is a star with a hook on it, so it doesn't look very good.
Yu Lian hesitated for a moment, then simply took out his paintbrush and drew a red maple factory logo on the back of his coat, and then nodded with satisfaction. After changing his clothes, he came to the embassy canteen, originally expecting to have a meal without being disturbed by others.
I interrupted breakfast, but found that Mr. Qi, Counselor Bliss and Major General Lal were all waiting for me here in advance.
As expected, once people get older, they wake up faster than dogs... No, they wake up earlier anyway, which is really admirable.
Seeing Yu Lian's admiring expression, Major General Lal said helplessly: "We didn't sleep."
Yu Lian looked at their table, which contained wine glasses, side dishes to go with the wine, and messy piles of star tiles. He immediately thought of the uncles and aunts in his hometown in his previous life. The spirit with which they played mahjong.
, I mean the serious kind of mahjong, which can be played for a whole night.
As a result, Yu Lian immediately admired him even more.
As the oldest person present, Mr. Qi, who had not slept all night, was actually the most energetic one present: "As people get older, they usually sleep less, but I don't actually have this problem. I can always sleep well at the end of the day.
More than seven hours. However, considering that you are about to embark on a journey, you should do something. At least the meal you are practicing cannot be a standard meal cooked by a robot, right?"
As he said this, something suddenly occurred to him, and he walked into the kitchen unhurriedly. After a while of "crackling" operations, he rolled out two cages of steamed buns and a large bowl of noodles from the dining cart.
The reason why you need to use a pusher is because the steamer is a large one and can hold three or four fist-sized noodles at one time. As for the bowl... or rather, the basin is almost the same, filled with red soup.
Thin noodles with somersaults, topped with sesame seeds, beef, small fish, garlic sprouts and other side dishes.
The rich and appetizing aroma immediately filled Yu Lian's nostrils. He immediately became energetic and felt that all his dissatisfaction had vanished. Just based on this aroma, even if it was not as good as the one he inherited from the old Liu family,
My uncle, who has inherited cooking skills for thousands of years, must be at the top level.
Sure enough, those who are capable can do anything!
"According to the saying in our hometown, before going to war, you should have a bite of hot noodles. It is best if they are rolled by the hands of the most respected old man in the village, so that you can be blessed by the ancestors of your hometown." Mr. Qi put the hot noodles.
The noodles were also served.
"Mr. Qi kept us playing cards until two in the morning, and then he cooked the food himself, asking us to help him. The buns were freshly made and made, and even the noodles were hand-rolled by Mr. Bliss."
As he spoke, he yawned greatly: "I told the chef class to get up early, but my husband also said that he would cook the food himself."
"That's natural. Those guys can only follow the recipes. Even when adding water to the dough, they have to use a measuring cup to see if they can make anything good." Mr. Qi sneered: "I usually make big pot rice for everyone.
I just tolerate it and don’t get up and cause trouble for me now.”
Of course, more importantly, Mr. Qi actually does not want to sacrifice the rest time of ordinary staff because of his "private affairs." Otherwise, why would he be respected by everyone in the embassy? Just relying on the ambassador's reputation
Identity, coupled with the aura of a literary giant?
Counselor Bliss and Major General Lal exchanged a subtle glance, but of course they didn't bother to expose each other.
Yu Lian can’t help but be moved now. A great writer who is almost seventy years old and famous all over the world stays up late to personally make buns and noodles for you. If you are still not moved, then you must have no heart.
“Even if it is to live up to your hard work, I must win a championship and come back.” Yu Lian stood at attention and said loudly.
“Hey, it’s not important to be the champion.” Although Mr. Qi spoke highly of Yu Lian’s ability, he did not have such extravagant expectations: “A safe return is the first priority.”
He felt that what he said seemed to be a bit too ambitious for others, and it was not in line with his previous personality, so he added: "On the premise of ensuring a safe return, try to compete with your style and level."
As soon as he finished saying this cliche, he couldn't help showing a disgusted expression. He felt that even if he was a little bit similar to the uncultured bureaucrats and politicians on earth, it was all a reflection of his past life.
insult.
Thinking of this, Mr. Qi came closer and said seriously: "Listen, kid, don't put any burden on yourself. You have done enough. No one at your age can do so much."
Not even Marshal Li. Your life is your own after all! You have no obligation to other people’s lives or the survival of other organizations and groups. So, treat yourself as an ordinary contestant and just have fun.
Let’s complete this activity with a competitive mentality.”
Major General Lal and Counselor Bliss looked at each other. In fact, they did not quite agree with Mr. Qi’s words, but as diplomats with high emotional intelligence, they could only pretend they didn’t hear it.
Yu Lian nodded: "I understand. Only by having a playful mentality can you relax your body and mind and exert your greatest abilities. Only in this way can you defeat the entire God of War Festival and win the championship, right?"
“I didn’t tell you to win the championship!” Mr. Qi said loudly.
“Understood! Even if we can’t win the championship, we must at least get the MVP. Even if we take a step back, we must capture a few gifted children from Earth. We must not let the empire underestimate us, is that right?”
Mr. Qi just took a deep look at Yu Lian and was silent for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Forget it, even if I tell you now that safety is the first priority, you guys will definitely not listen. You guys
This is how you always behave, kind of people."
“Sir, what I should actually say is ‘people like us’.” Counselor Bliss muttered in a low voice.
The tone was resentful, more like complaining; the voice was so low that Mr. Bliss, who was very close, probably didn't hear it, but Yu Lian, who had a sharp ear, completely heard it. This shocked him. He
This is the first time I have seen Counselor Bliss act so manly in front of Mr. Qi. Could it be that this uncle didn't sleep all night and his head is a little watty?
Mr. Qi was probably too lazy to be on the same level as his deputy, so he just said to Yu Liang: "So, use your own method to overcome this level. Only geniuses who can survive it can become heroes or even great men. Those who cannot survive it can become heroes or even great men."
He is just a genius who died young. However, this is all your own choice!"
Yu Lian did not answer. He just reached out and tapped his chest lightly, and then focused on the large basin of noodles and steamed buns on the table.
He wiped out the breakfast of an old man and two uncles who had been sitting all night long like a whirlwind, then patted his belly and sighed with contentment.
Eating such a meal will not completely affect the combat effectiveness even if one is without food for three days.
He now packed up the things he wanted to carry and prepared to set off.
Mr. Qi and the two uncles did not send Yu Lian out, but went directly back to the bedroom to catch up on his sleep.
"I will attend the opening ceremony at nine o'clock on time. At other times, I can only watch it on TV." Before leaving, Mr. Qi said again: "I hope I don't see you when I turn on the TV next time."
Die."
What was waiting for Yu Lian at the embassy was not the transportation of the embassy, but the limousine sent by the Suliuka family. The vehicle drove all the way into the port without going through any transfer procedures, and went directly along the special expressway.
I saw a golden passenger ship on the pier.
As soon as the vehicle stopped in the belly of the passenger ship, the passenger ship had already left the space city and drifted towards the green planet in the distance.
Twenty minutes later, Yu Lian met the owner of the ship, the contemporary King Sulyuka, Miss Brunhilt, in an "open-air" restaurant surrounded by stars.
Wearing a light dress, she looked like a girl next door who was going for an outing. The table was already filled with a variety of imperial palace pastries that looked like brilliant jewels.
"Sit down." Miss Suliuka Wang showed a smile that was brighter than those bright pastries, and pointed to the seat opposite her: "Let's have a good meal before the God of War Festival. Of course, I am also looking forward to it.
, there is no river of Styx between your next meal."
