Chapter 440 - : Indifference (1)
Chapter 440: Indifference (1)
Ouyang Jin pushed open the door of the emergency passage and entered a glass boardwalk.
This boardwalk was the boardwalk that connected the Yan Lou and Luming Hall.
Therefore, the view was very good. On the boardwalk, one could see more than half of the landscape of the Luming Villa.
At this time, there were few pedestrians in the Luming Villa. There were almost no people outside.
The atmosphere seemed peaceful, but in fact, it was tense.
This was because of last night’s incident.
He recalled the legend of last night.
Ouyang Jin took out a cigarette gloomily, lit it and smoked it.
“I can’t see Mount Tai with a single leaf…” he was annoyed, “This is my mistake!”
If he had been smarter on the bus that day.
Or if he had been braver in the parking lot.
Perhaps the opportunity from last night would have been his!
He had already gotten a piece of information from a family’s group.
Last night… that Almighty’s speech seemed to have been invited by a person.
A noble from the Nanzhou.
The exact situation was still unclear!
But…
The facts had already proved that as long as he licked well, he would give benefits!
What a pity…
Ouyang Jin was smoking, feeling extremely depressed.
If he had known… if he had known, as long as he knew how to lick…
What a pity!
If he missed it, he would have missed it!
Ouyang Jin recalled the exchange of gazes with that Almighty in the restaurant just now.
He seemed ordinary but when his eyes looked over, he was high and mighty, like an immortal God overlooking the mortal world.
He was cold and aloof.
He was like a human looking at an ant.
Then, he gently nodded, the smile on the corner of his mouth was filled with mockery and merciless ridicule.
Therefore, Ouyang Jin did not even dare to greet him.
The Ouyang family was a noble family of the Nanzhou.
Their ability to read the air was naturally very strong.
A fallen leaf could tell autumn.
Naturally, he knew that when he wanted to lick it, he had already missed it.
The real opportunity should be the first time they met.
On that bus, it was the best opportunity.
Next was in the parking lot.
At that time… if he had licked it better… he would have hugged it!
What a pity!
What a pity!
As Ouyang Jin thought about it, the cigarette in his hand was already finished.
He shook his head, took out another cigarette and was about to light it up.
A red retro supercar sped over from the passage in the Luming Villa.
“Neon!” Ouyang Jin’s mouth was wide open.
He recognized this car model.
Transcendent being sports car.
The points destroyer introduced by the Blackguard!
One of them costed 100,000 points!
It was equivalent to a major-general’s basic points for three years!
However, the people inside the Blackguard would not buy this thing because it was not necessary!
It was mainly for export, sold to transcendent families outside the system.
And the person who could fork out 100,000 points to buy such a transcendent sports car, this at least explained two problems.
First: there was at least a general standing behind him!
Second: his status was very high. If he was touched, he would definitely be in a difficult position with that general.
Therefore, in the Federal Empire, there was a nickname for the neon sports car — the son of a thousand gold!
Every neon sports car was a symbol of status, a representative of status.
“Who is it?” Ouyang Jin thought.
“That ‘Qingfeng Xulai’?” He remembered the ID in Qin Ming’s message.
He saw a young man in his twenties, wearing a pair of sunglasses, getting out of the car.
He looked familiar?
Ouyang Jin was thinking about the time he had seen him there.
Not far away, a familiar female voice screamed, “Tang An!”
“It’s Tang An?!”
“Oh my God! Someone from the Tang family has come?!”
Ouyang Jin looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang Wenwen.
He also came to a realization.
“So it’s him!”
“Tang An!”
“The son of the first wife of the Tang family from the Fragrant Hills Autonomous Prefecture!”
The Fragrant Hills Autonomous Prefecture was a group of islands that Taizu had voluntarily submitted to during his expedition.
Its status belonged to the Overseas Autonomous Prefecture of the Federal Empire.
Moreover, unlike Donglai, Fragrant Hills Autonomous Prefecture was an overseas autonomous prefecture that had official legal status in the Federal Empire.
It enjoyed all the power of the Empire.
There were even electoral votes!
Although there were only 15 votes, it was not enough to affect anything.
But with these 15 votes, there was room to maneuver around!
Just by relying on various tourism subsidies, the Fragrant Hills economy was already at the forefront of the Federal Empire!
And Fragrant Hills’s Tang family was the number one family in Fragrant Hills.
Even in the Federal Empire, it was still an influential local power faction!
Legend had it that the Tang family’s ancestor was a descendant of the bloodline of the foreign species sea beasts and humans.
Therefore, the Tang family had innate talent in the ocean.
They could even turn into giant beasts and patrol the ocean.
In the past hundred years, the Tang family had produced several strong generals!
They were the partners of the Blackguard.
There were rumors that the previous commander-in-chief of the Blackguard had received financial support from the Tang family.
The Western Song Kingdom and the Fragrant Hills Autonomous Prefecture were considered neighbors.
Ouyang Jin also often went to Fragrant Hills for holidays.
Naturally, he had seen this son of the Tang family a few times. It was said that he had already returned to his ancestor’s bloodline and would definitely become a young genius general in the future.
However, he knew the other party and the other party might not know him.
Looking at the high-spirited Tang An, he strode into the restaurant.
Ouyang Jin suddenly became curious.
“If Tang An is ‘Qingfeng Xulai’…”
“How will that person deal with him?”
Thinking of this, Ouyang Jin’s entire body became excited because he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Tang An’s arrival might be a chance!
An opportunity to peek at that person’s attitude toward ‘everyone’ from the side!
Think about it, how did Tang An know that person was here?
Someone tipped him off.
Moreover, he took the money to tip him off!
In a sense, this was already a taboo.
So, under the premise that he had already committed a taboo, how would he deal with it?
Chase him away?
Punish it?
Or…
A more serious reaction?
Or…
Tolerance with a very small probability?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Jin didn’t even care about Zhang Wenwen. He turned around and walked back to the restaurant!
…
“Young master… The crab you ordered…”
The fat chef smiled honestly and personally brought a plate to Ling Pingan with a very good attitude.
“Please taste it!”
Ling Ping’an looked at the crab.
At this moment, the crab had been cut into pieces and made into several dishes.
First, the crab legs.
All of them were peeled and the four crab legs were placed in the ice water.
The crab legs spread out like pine leaves.
However, the color was pure white and it was appetizing.
The rest of the crab leg was wrapped in sauce and seemed to have been roasted with charcoal.
Apart from the crab leg, there were two other ways to make the crab body.
One was to steam the egg with crab paste.
The other was to steam it.
The crab meat was placed on the plate like white jade.
A faint steam rose up.
Ling Ping’an’s index finger moved as he watched.
He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a crab leg that was soaked in ice water.
Then, under the nervous gaze of the chef, he took a big bite and slowly chewed and savoured it.
“Mmm…”
The crab leg meat was very sweet. Although it was a little cold in the mouth, there was soon only a refreshing and sweet taste left in his mouth.
However…
Ling Pinga’n opened his eyes and looked at the chef with an expectant look.
He recalled the legends of some top chefs that he had heard of.
It was said that these chefs would ask for the opinions of their customers after making a dish to determine the status of this customer in the restaurant in the future.
It was said that some chefs would only cook for ‘worthy customers’.
Therefore, Ling Ping’an quietly let go of some of the suppression on his taste buds.
Then, he looked at the fat chef and asked softly, “Sir, do you want to hear the truth or just for show?”
The fat chef lowered his head and said, “Honored guest, of course I want to hear the truth…”
“If that’s the case…” Ling Ping’an smiled lightly. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony…”
“Your culinary skills are not bad!”
In all these years, there were only a few chefs who could be worthy of his evaluation!
“It’s just that…”
Ling Ping’an put down the crab leg and said, “The crab leg meat has been soaked in ice water for a little too long…”
“Also, the lemon juice has been squeezed too much, which has affected the taste…”
He picked up the spoon and took a bite of the steamed egg with crab paste. Then, he said, “If you steam the egg for less than 20 seconds, you’ll get a lot of points…”
“Also, remember to choose the ingredients for the eggs you use next time…”
“It’s best to choose the local eggs from the countryside…”
…
Ling Ping’an tasted them one by one and commented on them one by one.
His tongue allowed him to taste all the flavors of the ingredients.
He could taste even the slightest bit of a strange smell or the slightest mishandling of the ingredients.
This was the pride of a gourmet!
There was nothing he couldn’t taste!
The fat chef listened and broke out in cold sweat.
He bowed deeply, “I understand your opinion!”
As a chef and a well-known chef, he knew very well that although there were some things that he did not understand what this distinguished guest had said but many of them were true.
It did point out the problem.
What was even more unbelievable was that he could tell how much seasoning he had used, how much salt he had used, how long he had roasted it and what kind of fuel he had used.
It was simply terrifying!
What was even more terrifying was…
The tone of this guest’s voice.
Even though it sounded very easy-going and seemed to be just an ordinary comment…
But…
Every word had magic power and every word carried an unquestionable and irresistible momentum.
It made him tremble in fear and he even broke out in cold sweat when he heard it.
The feeling he gave off was that he wasn’t listening to a guest’s comment at the Luming Villa.
Instead, he was standing in the court of the Supreme Court, listening to the righteous and selfless Great Guardians of the Supreme Court trying their cases.
Each and every accusation was like a knife cutting into his heart and lungs.
“You are guilty!”
“Your culinary skills are not good and you have harmed the ingredients. The crime is unpardonable!”
“According to Article XX of the Gourmet Constitution…”
“You will be sentenced to ten years of culinary expertise! Until the problem is completely corrected!”
Therefore, the chef, who was originally in high spirits, could not even straighten his back like the waiter.
He bowed deeply with guilt and endless apology, “Customer, I will work hard to correct myself!”
“I hope that I can still serve you next time!”
Ling Ping’an nodded as he listened. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “The imperial city is the imperial city!”
“Even the chef is so dedicated to his work!”
The fat chef bowed again, “I’ll go back first and think about your suggestion…”
“Um…” Ling Ping’an picked up a roasted crab leg and stuffed it into his mouth, “Actually, your cooking skills are not bad… If you work hard, you might be able to reach the level of Thousand Night Sauce!”
In Ling Ping’an’s opinion, this chubby chef had a lot of potential!
Unfortunately…
He didn’t open a shop in Jiang City.
Otherwise, he would have a new choice for takeout in the future!
…
Tang An took off his sunglasses and walked into the hall of the Yan Lou.
Then, he lifted his feet and walked in the direction of the buffet.
At the same time, he looked at the chat history on his phone.
He typed and asked, “Is he still there?”
The other party immediately replied, “Yes!”
Tang An’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster!
He knew more than most about what happened last night!
Last night, the commander-in-chief had personally come to the Luming Villa!
Last night, in the Luming Hall, the Polish Prince’s divine blood had been revived. The angel of the Cross Sect had returned from his body, but it had been shattered by a mighty figure. In the end… The Sumerian Moon God had been revived from within the Angel’s body!
This wasn’t the main point.
The main point was…
Last night, that mighty figure had lectured and hundreds of people had turned from ordinary people into extraordinary people.
This ability to turn a hand into a cloud was actually too shocking!
What was even more shocking was that that Almighty actually stirred up the wind and clouds, triggered a thunderstorm and descended Emperor’s essence!
Last night, Tang An had personally witnessed the nine heavens thunderstorm!
Rumbling thunder rumbled within the dark clouds and lightning tore through the sky.
The entire world was on the verge of collapse.
Ants crawled out from the entrance.
The snakes and rats were frightened out of their caves.
Then…
The thunder dispersed the clouds and the imperial pulp fell into the mountains and rivers.
The entire imperial capital was blessed!
This kind of large-scale divine ability was simply not something that humans, or even gods, could possess!
Thinking of this, Tang An tidied up his appearance.
He tried his best to make his smile more brilliant.
Then, he walked into the entrance of the cafeteria.
…
Qin Ming looked at the message on his phone.
He looked up uneasily and looked at the place where Ouyang Jin had left.
Both of his legs were trembling slightly.
The words that Ouyang Jin had said before he left seemed to still be in his ears.
“Flesh and blood… Tendons and bones…”
“All the gifts of fate have been secretly priced…”
He looked at the two million he had just received.
He wanted to run, but he didn’t dare.
Someone who could casually throw out two million would definitely be willing to spend a few million to take his life!
Don’t think that just because the Federal Empire was a country ruled by law, you could rest easy!
Over the past three hundred years, all kinds of people had died inexplicably. They were transported by cars and ships.
After countless people died, not even their bones could be found.
Anyway, Qin Ming felt that he was standing at the edge of a cliff. In front of him was a bottomless abyss and behind him was a man-eating tiger.
“Why did I come here…” he sighed.
At this moment, his phone lit up again.
Qingfeng Xulai, “Where are you? I’m already here!”
Qin Ming stood up and saw a young man in his twenties pushing open the door of the cafeteria.
He swallowed his saliva and had no choice but to go forward.
“You are Qingfeng Xulai?”
The other party nodded and looked at Qin Ming, asking, “Where is he?”
Qin Ming’s face was bitter as he pointed to a corner, “He’s over there!”
“Very good!” The other party laughed, “I’ll do what I promised you immediately!”
Thus, Qin Ming received a brand new notification for the transfer of money.
Looking at the string of zeros, if it had been in the past, Qin Ming would have run away happily with the money.
But now…
He didn’t even dare to move because he knew that the money was hot.
He might even lose his life!
