A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself

Choosing a dish?

Lin Yang murmured in his heart. From the conversation between the two, he could probably tell that this so-called dish was not serious.

But faced with the invitation from the short, thin old man with a goatee and the cold gaze of the ghostly man in black robe, Lin Yang still got up and followed.

Walk through the front hall of the pub and all the way to the backyard.

It's said to be a backyard, but it's actually a very large farm and pasture.

"Sir, you can choose whichever one you like. They are slaughtered right now. They are absolutely fresh!" The short and thin old man with a goatee pointed at some livestock on the farm and said.

Lin Yang's eyes moved slightly.

He thought it would be some strange food, but he never thought that the short and thin old man with a goatee was referring to a few cows and a few sheep.

And on this huge farm, there are no other livestock except those cows and sheep.

"Is this the ingredient you mentioned earlier?" Lin Yang confirmed.

"Not bad." The short, thin old man with a goatee nodded.

Hearing this, Lin Yang was confused. Cows and sheep are the most common food ingredients for humans. How could they be said to be unsuitable for humans to eat?

"This is the most common meat ingredient for us humans. Why did you say before that it is not suitable for us to eat?"

Later, Lin Yang asked directly.

"Hehehe, boy, the cattle and sheep here at the tavern old ghost are not ordinary cattle and sheep."

The ghost man in black robe spoke first.

When Lin Yang was confused, the man continued: "The cattle and sheep raised by your human race are vegetarian animals and do not eat meat, but the cattle and sheep here are carnivores!"

"Carnivores?" Lin Yang was slightly startled and looked back at the cows and sheep basking in the sun.

Carnivorous cattle and sheep?

"Haha, are you surprised? Are you still a little unconvinced?"

The ghost man in black robe looked at Lin Yang's appearance, laughed loudly, and clapped his hands.

A waiter with a tray in his hand suddenly ran over from the other end of the pasture. As if he had received some order, he placed the tray in front of one of the cows.

The cow, which was leisurely basking in the sun, started eating the food on the tray as if it hadn't eaten in a few days.

And the food on the tray was none other than a piece of cooked meat!

And it’s cooked meat!

The meat is fragrant!

Just from a distance, Lin Yang suddenly felt a little hungry when he smelled the overflowing aroma of meat.

"There's something wrong with that piece of meat..." Lin Yang's heart rang with alarm bells.

Just smelling it made him want to eat it too.

This is not normal.

He had never seen any meat that was so fragrant and so tempting.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Lin Yang seemed to have thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he secretly said to the system: "System, can you check the composition of that piece of meat?"

"Host, do you suspect that the piece of meat was the human flesh processed here by the workers who were kidnapped?" the system replied.

"Well, the smell of such meat is far better than any meat I have ever seen. If it is human flesh, it can also explain why they don't plunder the population." Lin Yang replied silently.

At this moment, he had some suspicion that the robbed workers were used by the tavern to feed these weird cattle and sheep.

With just a few cattle and sheep, it was enough to rob one person for a few days.

And if it is really human flesh, it can also explain why the short, thin old man with a goatee just said that the ingredients here are not suitable for human consumption.

Cattle and sheep raised with human meat are indeed not suitable for human consumption.

However, it would be a bit too perverted to use human meat to raise cattle and sheep, and then slaughter these cattle and sheep to make food and drinks.

"The boss reminded me just now, was he kind-hearted or was he worried that he would find out something after eating it?" Lin Yang glanced at the short, thin old man with a goatee calmly, and felt a little doubtful in his heart.

If you have good intentions, you can bring yourself here in a blink of an eye. There is something unexplainable about it.

In short, this tavern so far is full of weirdness.

"It would be great if the national treasure is worth enough. Let the system monitor it in real time."

Then, Lin Yang sighed secretly in his heart.

His national treasure value, which was passively increased by relying on the title of "Hometown Glory", has been reduced to very little after these two system function scans.

The system had no way to provide him with monitoring of the situation after the Mingye tribesman entered the tavern.

In addition, a large number of anti-monitoring systems were installed inside the tavern, so he had no choice but to come in and look for evidence in person.

Now the system can provide him with the free tracking function.

With this function, it can only be seen that the guy from the Mingye clan is still somewhere inside the tavern.

"In addition to the pasture, this tavern should have an underground space. The guy from the Mingye Clan is nearby, but at first glance, the only place nearby is this pasture, so that guy should be in the underground space at his feet."

While the system was testing the composition of the meat, Lin Yang pretended to be curious and took a few steps towards the location of the cattle and sheep. He also confirmed that the guy from the Mingye clan should be underground.

The little red dot representing the Mingye clan member almost overlapped with his position at this moment.

But there were no other buildings around the ranch where they were now.

Then the answer is obvious.

There should be a secret underground space beneath this vast pasture.

"Your Excellency seems to be very interested in our beef and sheep food?" The short and thin old man with a goatee asked suddenly when he saw Lin Yang staring at the deli meat.

Lin Yang was slightly startled, not knowing how to answer the question.

Under other circumstances, he must have said he was interested.

But in this case, if he said he was interested, it would be very embarrassing if the old guy said he wanted to get him a piece to try.

Cannibalism?

He's not that perverted.

Just as Lin Yang was thinking about how to respond, the system's test results were issued in time.

"Answer the host, this piece of meat is not any human tissue. In other words, it is not human flesh, but a kind of animal meat."

"Not human flesh?" Lin Yang was a little surprised.

It’s not human flesh?

"Yes, host, this should be a relatively rare animal meat. The meat is very delicious, and it is professionally cooked, so you will be very appetizing after just smelling it."

"This..." Lin Yang was stunned and secretly relieved.

As long as it’s not human flesh!

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the previous doubts came to mind again.

Since this is not human flesh, what on earth are they arresting people for?

"Sir, your mental state doesn't seem to be very good. Do you need me to call for medical treatment for you?" The short and thin old man with a goatee saw Lin Yang suddenly stunned and said again.

"Ah... No, I've never seen cattle or sheep eat meat. I was surprised for a moment and was stunned." Lin Yang came back to his senses and found a random reason.

"Haha, carnivorous cattle and sheep are indeed rare, and we are the only one here." The short, thin old man with a goatee flashed in his eyes, and he did not seem to have any doubts, but said with a faint sense of pride.

"How was this cultivated?" Lin Yang was really curious.

In theory, it is not impossible to turn herbivores into carnivores.

Maybe changing the genetic sequence will do the trick.

But the price is high. If it is just to satisfy the appetite, it is indeed a bit too extravagant.

Moreover, it is forbidden to change the genetic sequence of species at will in the universe.

The high development of science and technology will bring about some heaven-defying technologies, but some technologies are too heaven-defying and may even cause some uncontrollable unknown risks, so the Universe Alliance is expressly prohibited.

And if the old man dares to bring himself to see it, it should mean that these cattle and sheep have not been genetically modified.

Since the biological habits are not changed by modifying the genetic sequence, he is really curious about what new technology can do this.

In response, the short and thin old man with a goatee said leisurely: "This is our exclusive technology, please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

"Understood." Lin Yang's eyes flashed and he stopped asking.

Anyway, as long as it's not raised with human flesh, it doesn't really matter how it's grown.

"You can choose a cow or sheep that you like. It will be slaughtered for you on site, and professional chefs will cook it to ensure that the taste is absolutely better than any meat you have ever eaten!" The short and thin old man with a goatee spoke again.

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a gourmet, chattering endlessly: "These are fresh ingredients that can be seen on the spot. Although they are also cattle and sheep, I can guarantee that this is definitely not comparable to the cattle and sheep you have eaten in your human restaurant. This is absolutely It is an experience that you will never forget! ”

"We can provide any cooking method that you humans like to eat, such as frying, cooking, barbecue, etc. We will prepare something for you every time, and you will definitely be satisfied!"

When Lin Yang saw this, he still felt a little doubtful and strange, but now that the matter was at this point, he couldn't refuse anything anymore. He could only point at it casually: "Just this end."

He was referring to a cow.

"Would you like another sheep? The taste of beef and sheep is different." The short and thin old man with a goatee added, "Of course, you can rest assured that this is not a black shop and the prices are absolutely fair. You don't have to worry about the price! "

"I'm not worried that I can't pay, but I don't like mutton and I can't stand the smell of mutton." Lin Yang shook his head and said.

He really couldn't eat mutton.

Even if it's made by the best chef, it basically doesn't smell like mutton, so he can't eat it.

Physiological nausea.

"Well, that's a pity. I thought everyone in your human race loved to eat roasted whole lamb."

The short, thin old man with a goatee spread his hands.

Then he asked the waiter to take the cow selected by Lin Yang to clean it.

"You can watch the whole slaughtering process to ensure that no ingredients will be changed during the whole process." The short and thin old man with a goatee said again.

Hearing this, even though he knew that this tavern was very weird, Lin Yang had to sigh that the service was quite good.

However, the next moment, the system voice suddenly said urgently: "Host, this system has detected something unusual from this cow and sheep. Please try to get closer to the cow and sheep. This system needs to conduct further inspections. At the same time, please The host refuses the other party’s slaughter first. Please refuse to eat beef and sheep ingredients temporarily and wait for the inspection results of this system.”

"Huh? What's going on? What did you check?" Lin Yang was immediately shocked.

"Answer the host, the distance is a bit far. In addition, you do not have enough national treasure value. This system cannot conduct detailed detection and cannot accurately inform you at the moment. Please be sure to get closer to the cattle and sheep." The system's voice was more serious than ever before.

"good!"

Hearing this, Lin Yang did not delay and immediately changed his words to the short and thin old man with goat beard: "Let's put it this way, boss, I am not very interested in beef, but I am very interested in the piece of meat you just fed to the cows. To be honest, I smelled it just now and my appetite increased. Compared with this beef, I want to taste that piece of meat first."

"Oh?" The short and thin old man with goat beard raised his eyebrows: "How can that be? That is just what we use to feed cattle and sheep. As a guest, it is not appropriate for you to eat those things."

"It doesn't matter. You have to try something you haven't eaten before. Besides, I can feel that the meat should be extraordinary, not ordinary animal meat." Lin Yang continued.

"This...Okay, but I still hope you can taste our special beef!" The short and thin old man with goat beard did not refuse again, but looked at Lin Yang with an indescribable weird solemnity.

Lin Yang had a feeling that if he said he refused to taste the beef, the old man would probably attack him in the next second.

Of course, he was not afraid of fighting, but it would be difficult to find out the truth.

Therefore, after thinking for 2.5 seconds, Lin Yang nodded and said, "Since you strongly recommend it, I will try it, but I have never seen meat-eating cattle and sheep. Can I get closer to take a look? I am really curious."

"Haha, of course you can, please do as you please." The short and thin old man with goatee immediately smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Yang strode directly towards the cattle and sheep.

Behind him, the black-robed ghost man looked at the short and thin old man with goatee, with an indescribable weirdness in his eyes.

At the same time, a voice that Lin Yang could not hear said to the short and fat old man: "Why do you want him to observe closely? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

"Hehe, didn't you just suggest that he taste our special dishes?"

The short and thin old man with goatee chuckled, and said faintly in the strange look of the black-robed ghost man:

"You just suggested that he taste it just to test it, didn't you? In this case, just let him observe closely. If nothing can be observed at close range, it means that our plan is perfectly successful!"

"Okay, what if he finds out?" The black-robed ghost man asked.

"Hehe, on such a chaotic neutral planet, what's the big deal about a person dying?" The short and thin old man with goatee said lightly.

While the two of them were talking quietly, Lin Yang also came to the front of the cattle and sheep, and said to the system at the same time: "Is this distance enough?"

"Enough, if it is convenient, please try to touch the body of the cattle and sheep so that this system can detect more accurately."

"Oh... It seems that what you found is extraordinary?" Lin Yang's eyes condensed.

Previously, the system could detect and scan things remotely, but this time he had to touch it himself, which made him more curious and serious.

What did the system detect?
