First Player

Chapter 83 "The dishes are all here, it's time for everyone to hit the road."

"Praia's date-keeping method is similar to that of Zhai Xing." Su Lin lowered his head and said, "Every year at the beginning of February, it is the 'New Festival'. The islanders will dry out the fish caught in every household, hold a big banquet, and start a grand ceremony. Pots, slaughtering livestock, making reunion dinner, and cooking a kind of tea called 'Teni'. They believe that as long as they gather together to eat reunion dinner and show the unity of the Praia people, the gods in heaven will be moved by them and give them gifts. More fish and gold.”

"Before I boarded the airship, my grandma once taught me how to make 'Teni' tea. The milk and tea are also mixed and roasted on the stove. The mashed potatoes in front of me are also made from Praia An essential meal in any celebration.”

"February is here, Su Ming'an."

After Su Lin said these words, she focused on stirring the potatoes and said no more.

This was the first time Su Ming'an saw such a serious Su Lin. Even during the battle, Su Lin had never shown such a solemn expression.

It's just... as focused as a pilgrimage. The pair of dark golden pupils clearly reflected everything in front of him, as if he could see the sea water and wind and waves of another world through the pot of soup.

Only then did Su Mingan notice that the playa costume Su Lin wore today was mainly dark in color and fastened with buckles. It turned out that this was the dress worn during the playa celebration.

"Teni tea?" Su Mingan said.

"Well, a kind of tea mixed with milk and tea. It tastes sweet and has a slight sea salt taste. It is a tea that fishermen like to drink after returning from work." Su Lin looked at the heat: "Grandma told me back then that this The more raw materials for growing tea, the better, as long as they are cooked together they will be very nutritious.”

Su Ming watched quietly.

...Before Su Lin boarded the airship, he would also have "grandma", as well as relatives and friends he cared about. When he first comforted Princess Tulip, he was also very gentle and felt reluctant to give up the lives of others.

He can cook reunion dinner, make Teni tea, and call "grandma". He was also a resident of Praia. He would sit and eat with his relatives and pray to God to send the gospel.

It took sixty years of suffering and lies to turn him into a god. Apart from the cold judgment of life, there is only the loneliness of watching the island.

"I can take you back to Praia." Su Mingan said.

Su Lin immediately raised his head: "When?"

He put down the pot in his hand, put his hand on Su Ming'an's shoulder, and stared into Su Ming'an's eyes:

"——When can I go back?"

It was the first time that Su Mingan saw such an excited Su Lin. The lights in Su Lin's eyes lit up like candles, like a black and white photo that was suddenly dyed with color.

At this time, seeing the shock in Su Ming'an's eyes, Su Lin realized that her mood was wrong and let go of her hand.

"When you go back, I have to go back too, so I have to wait until I'm fine. It's best to have a full day's free time." Su Ming'an straightened the fabric on her shoulders.

"Okay." Su Lin said firmly: "Call me as soon as possible."

His mood became very good, and his movements were much faster.

"With the pasta from Lin Yin's side, it should be enough. Then I'll make some broth." Su Mingan said.

"I'll help you," Lu Shu said immediately.

Under Su Ming'an's command, Lu Shu threw a lot of vegetables, radishes, beef, pork...all in the plastic bags into the pot, just like disposing of the garbage on a garbage truck. Then, Su Ming'an reached out to the seasoning area. …

…

"——Ms. Lin Wangan."

Under the light blue curtains, a woman stood beside the white bed, the ring on her ring finger glowing with silver.

Next to her is a piano that has just been installed.

"Ms. Lin Wangan, according to your request, we have equipped you with the best piano." Lu Changshen, a member of the "Tianyu Department" one of the seven departments of the United Regiment Longguo's deployment of the Yangtze River, smiled and said: "What else do you have? You can tell us your requirements.”

Lin Wangan turned her head, her eyebrows always filled with melancholy. The moment she saw the piano, the melancholy on her face instantly dissipated, and her pupils seemed to shine.

She walked to the piano and carefully stroked the black and white keys, running her fingers from the far left to the far right, as if stroking her lover's skin. The love and madness hidden in those eyes made even Lu Changshen feel afraid.

He was obviously a weak person, but the moment he saw the piano, he burst out with an aura that sent shivers down the spines of others.

"...Very good." Lin Wangan murmured, with a layer of mist in his eyes: "...Very good."

"Do you like it?" Lu Changshen recorded the scene in front of him into the detector on his chest, and then the profiler will analyze it in depth.

"I like it." Lin Wangan showed a smile that Lu Changshen had never seen before.

It's like...a withered little tree suddenly bloomed into colorful flowers. There was a strong vitality in that smile, making people feel as if she had just been alive.

"As long as you like it." Lu Changshen gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Wangan. Only then did he realize that the woman's mental illness was so deep that she was already terminally ill. The madness in her eyes was like a flame, which made him feel that the madness that Su Ming'an showed occasionally might also be inherited from this woman's madness.

This family... is such a pity. Lu Changshen thought secretly in his heart.

Looking at Lin Wangan who was very satisfied with the piano, Lu Changshen took a deep breath and said tentatively: "You see, during the Chinese New Year, all the Longguo people will gather together for a reunion dinner. This family has no overnight feud, even if there is a little conflict , even if it disappears after the New Year.”

Lin Wangan stroked the keys and said nothing.

Lu Changshen continued: "Your child has always lacked people to care about him. Now that the Chinese New Year is here, he must miss you very much. This is the best piano that the United Group can get. In the past, Zhai Xing was almost unavailable. He has practiced for so many years. Qin, you will definitely like this when you see this. Ms. Lin, I have his contact information here, would you like..."

Lin Wangan's eyes suddenly became terrifying.

She stared at Lu Changshen solemnly, and the bright smile on her face disappeared instantly. His face changed so quickly that Lu Changshen got goosebumps all over his body.

Lu Changshen's face changed slightly, but he still kept his smile.

The only sounds left in the room were the news broadcast from the CBD outside the window, and the occasional sound of fireworks. Other than that, there was only Lin Wangan's fierce gaze, cutting the air like a sounding knife.

"Dang——" There was a crisp sound from the keys. It was Lin Wangan who pressed down his fingers and pressed a key. When she heard the crisp sound, her ears twitched, and her eyes instantly softened, as if only the sound of the piano could make her emotionally peaceful.

"...I know, this texture...he should like it." Three seconds later, Lin Wangan spoke up.

Lu Changshen breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I will give you his contact information... He is celebrating the New Year with Aini and the others. If you contact Aini, you can contact him..."

Lin Wangan responded.

She slowly turned her gaze to the window. The snow had stopped, and the rich sunset stirred down, reflecting into her reddish eyes.

She blinked and pressed a key again. With a "dang--" sound, the setting sun penetrated between her fingers through the low white keys and formed a fiery ring on her ring finger.

…

At seven o'clock in the evening.

As time goes by, the New Year's Eve dinner is gradually completed. Lin Yin and Noel had finished their work, and the exquisite snacks and sesame seed cakes were lined up in a pile on the plate. Snacks such as custard buns and golden steamed buns are also served steaming hot, looking particularly tempting.

Lu and Luna hung up the Dragon Kingdom decorations, and the indoor New Year atmosphere was very strong. Even Bei Wang and Yamada have completed the paper cutting.

Aini quietly walked back from the door, carrying several steaming dishes in his hand. In order to prevent himself from being poisoned tonight, he secretly put these vegetables into his backpack and replaced them later.

All of a sudden, everyone's tasks had been completed, except for the cooking team.

"Su Ming'an, are you - okay?" Lin Yin called towards the kitchen, only to see that the kitchen door was still closed. There were only three ominous shadows swimming inside, and there was a vague smell of food that made people feel complicated.

"It doesn't feel good," Luna whispered.

"Need rescue?" Lu said.

"I'll go take a look." Yamada Machichi walked out solemnly and pushed open the kitchen door with a "swish" sound.

The bowl and chopsticks came at him and almost hit him.

A strong and pungent smell of oil smoke hit my face, along with the smell of rotten mandarin fish. Lu Shu walked out slowly, his expression a little confused, as if he was in a state of ecstasy.

"It's done." Lu Shu's expression was confused.

Behind him, golden energy carried basins of dishes forward, and the dishes were placed on the long table one after another.

Ten huge bowls and basins stood in sequence.

The first one is Su Lin's mashed potato soup. The smell is embarrassing, and there is a faint hint of broccoli. The next few are even more daunting.

When the last dish appeared, it relied on the defense and made people breathless - it was a pot of "delicious" broth with an extremely terrifying appearance. The cabbage and pork were fused together, struggling desperately in the black liquid, which made people think of The dome world polluted by black sticky objects reminds me of countless residents who are dying in the black mud.

"..."

For a moment, the room was quiet, and no one reached out to taste this heavenly and earthly dish.

I saw Lu Shu emerging from the crowd.

He strode forward, picked up the spoon, and took a sip of the broth.

After swallowing the food in his mouth completely, he said expressionlessly:

"tasty."

Lin Yin and others were shocked and couldn't help but feel sorry for what kind of pig food Lu Shu had eaten before.

"You don't even know how to appreciate something that's not delicious." Lu Shu scooped up another large pot and gulped it down.

At the right time, Su Ming'an and Su Lin walked out of the kitchen, and a strange smell of milk tea spread in the hall.

"It tastes okay." Su Ming'an saw Lu Shu eating so much, "I know, it should be edible."

Although it doesn't look good, he has been cooking for himself since he was four years old. If he couldn't eat and no one took care of him, he would have starved to death. Although the appearance looks like a defense, the taste should be okay.

"Don't you want to eat?" Su Mingan looked at everyone: "Eat. Why don't you eat?"

Lin Yin's face was slightly condensed, Lu's smile was stiff, Yamada Machi's eyes moved slightly, Luna covered her mouth and turned her head, Aini turned her back, and North Wang disappeared.

Only Lu Shu kept drinking the soup, one mouthful after another, with a very satisfied expression.

Noel closed his eyes, stretched out his hand, scooped out a bowl of soup, and started to drink it.

He was originally smiling, but the more he drank, the more his smile disappeared.

On the TV in the living room, the host was still interviewing Burris, and the sound was extremely loud in the silent room.

"...So that's it. You told us so much about how Su Ming'an recognized you as his godfather. So, do you think there was anything about Su Ming'an that troubled you during his growth?" the host asked.

Burris pondered for a moment and said: "When God opens a door for a person, he will also close a window. I think... even the perfect child has a bad side. Think about it, everyone. When Su Lin made tea on the last day in the ruined world, his extremely poor cooking skills were exposed. The tea he made was like watery shit. Due to the original theory, I think Su Ming'an..."

The room was silent except for Burris' clear voice.

Su Lin raised his eyes and saw the TV at a glance.

"Where is this person talking nonsense?" Su Lin's voice did not rise or fall.

"It should be the Alliance TV station in Area 32." Luna said.

"coordinate?"

"I checked, it should be (32) Luna subconsciously followed the order and checked the computer next to her.

The golden light flickered, and in the next moment, Su Lin's figure disappeared into the room.

Before everyone could recover, they saw Su Lin appearing on the live broadcast on the TV screen. He picked up Burris, ignored the shocked host, and with a "pop" sound, completely overturned Burris and the camera, and smashed him to the ground. There was only a burst of exclamations and screams from the staff on the TV screen.

"I was wrong, ah! I was wrong! Save——"

Burris's voice was drowned in Su Lin's violent attacks.

"Are you still talking nonsense?" Su Lin's voice came out.

"It's shit! It's shit! It's shit!" Burris was extremely strong.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

…

【New World Guild】

As night falls, the glazed tiles of the New World Guild glow like a rainbow. A little girl holding a bear walked across the square, near the center of the station.

Vice President Angelica saw that there was no guild logo on her head and immediately stopped her.

"Kid, what can I do for you?" Angelica leaned down. She was very friendly to children.

The little girl raised her head, revealing a face that was familiar to everyone.

"You...you are..." Angelica said in shock.

"I'm Bonnie." The little girl snapped her fingers, and a flame appeared and disappeared:

"I heard... you are doing human experiments here, transforming children?"
