Chapter 276 Banquet
wait?
Wait what?
Waiting to die?
Huai Shi held up her fan and huddled in a corner where no one was paying attention, shivering. Then she looked left and right, and there was nothing like a human sitting on either side.
"Huh? It smells like someone."
"Maybe it's a mistake. Drink and drink."
The two colorful Yingzhou ghosts sitting in front of Huai Shi picked up their wine cups and started drinking again. Soon, they were immersed in the singing of dancing music.
Behind the hanging curtains, the incomplete musicians played the pipa and the harp, and presented a melancholy tune that was almost wailing for the rotting ministers. However, under the cold wind, the banquet became more and more lively and noisy.
"It's all good stuff, don't waste it, eat it quickly."
Crow urged.
I picked up the chopsticks and picked out a few cold dishes to go with the wine. The pickled vegetables tasted quite refreshing, and the rich abyss precipitate spread in my mouth with every bite, bringing a wonderful taste impact.
Especially those few edamame beans, which made his eyes light up when he ate them, and his original rejection disappeared.
"Serve me more vegetarian dishes, and don't put any meat on them."
Huai Shi held up a fan and told the attendants who were kneeling next to them: "I have been fasting, chanting Buddha's name, and praying for the emperor recently. It doesn't matter if I ruin my conduct, but what should I do if the emperor loses his life?"
The waiter kowtowed in panic, and soon, all the dishes on the table were changed. They looked green and healthy. Just when the waiter was about to take the wine down, he was stopped by Huai Shi.
"No need for this, just give me some more wine." He said solemnly: "You know Taibai? He is like me. The more wine he drinks, the happier he will be when he writes poetry. I will be happy when I drink it. , make a song for your whole family..."
Although the attendant couldn't hide his expression of "You are such a braggart", but due to his duties, he still brought several bottles of different sakes according to Huai Shi's instructions, and then knelt down next to him, waiting for this shameless guy with wide eyes. Composed poetry.
Huai Shi raised his head and took a sip of wine, then pinched two peanuts and edamame. After chewing two mouthfuls, he felt a few strands of cold vitality that he had never seen sprout from his mouth amidst the vague whine, and he suddenly sighed happily. tone.
A wave of drunkenness inevitably hit his head.
Seeing the attendant kneeling there with an expectant look on his face, Huai Shi shook his head.
He picked up the wine cup and let out a long sigh. He took a deep breath. After pondering for a while, he raised his head and muttered quietly: "Ah, a horse is thin but has long hair and fat hooves. If a son steals his father, he is not a thief..."
"..."
The attendant rolled his eyes, took two steps back, and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy who had sneaked in to join in the fun.
After fanning the fan, Huai Shi was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, he had already left before he could tell the touching love story between the blind uncle and the blind grandma.
Forget it, you are not so lucky...
Huai Shi shook his head and sighed, and as he wished, he turned into a transparent person that no one paid attention to. He continued to drink and eat food with his head down, and the screams in the distance served as accompaniment.
I don’t know what to wait for.
Even if I asked the crow, he wouldn't tell me.
Huaishi waited here and there, taking a sip of wine and a bite of food. After finishing two plates of edamame, she still couldn't wait, so she could only take out the ingredient list that Crow had given her from her sleeve and flip through it.
The first line of words made Huai Shi's eyes start to hurt.
——50 source material crystals.
According to the latest exchange rate, one source crystal costs Dongxia Yuan 2.4 million. If you want to purchase a large amount, you will need a premium of about one-tenth, which means about 100 million...
"just kill me!"
Huai Shi sighed: "One hundred million, even if you kill me, you won't be able to earn that much! Besides, it's just an advancement, do you still need to find a system to earn money?"
"Of the fifty source material crystals, about thirty are the cost of renting the cutting-edge alchemy workshop of Dongxia Lineage. Believe me, more than 60 million yuan for you to use for a week is already a friendly price. .”
Crow said calmly: "Of the remaining ten, ten are fixed for you to use when extracting the source material, and the rest are reserved for insurance. If you have the ability, you can get Cavendish for free. If it’s a workshop-level alchemy laboratory, this one can be wiped out.”
"...Does it have to be so high-end?"
"It has to be so high-end. Shao Siming's stigmata must be absolutely precise and absolutely stable. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you may have to go to the Abyss Barber Room to get a membership card, and you will have to have bloodletting at least once a week. treat."
"..."
Huai Shi endured the heartache and continued reading. Not to mention all the other messy things, the materials produced in the various borders and abyss were enough to drive people crazy.
"Crystal of blood feud, divine grace, undead flame, ashes of evil things..."
Which of these is not the unique output of the large pedigree, precious materials monopolized by various organizations, and strategic materials that are tightly sealed.
“Why is Kingdom of Heaven Genealogy so expensive?”
“You have to understand that when the Astronomical Society revised the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven, it was the most prosperous and massive period.
It can be said that everything, whether it is the current border or the abyss, takes what you want. There is no need to consider cost-effectiveness when designing. No, it should be said that the cost-effectiveness they consider is the benefits obtained in the long term. Therefore, they must always strive for excellence. "
Crow said calmly: "Actually, there is a version that doesn't cost money, but haven't you experienced it? How big is the difference between your own power as a ghost and the ghost in the Nibelung roots? Even if they come from the same source , there is also a huge difference.
If you want to gradually open the permissions in the Book of Destiny, necessary efforts are indispensable. "
They are both pianos, so why are antique-grade treasures handmade by masters so much more expensive than brand-name ones?
In addition to the huge difference in sound quality, isn't it also a difference in identity?
Huai Shi understands the truth, but why does he have to spend so much money?
Forget it, at least there was something for Huai Shi to work hard to let go of. What confused him the most was the most important thing written by the crow at the end.
"The birth of life, the true meaning of nothingness, the connection of souls, the phantom of yesterday...these are all nothing!"
"It literally means that whether you have realized it yourself or obtained an artifact that can achieve the same effect, it doesn't matter even if you have it for just a moment. This is the most essential power of Shao Siming. You must have it." experience.
Compared with those tangible things that can be bought or snatched, these ethereal things are the most precious and the most difficult to collect. It depends on your luck and hard work.
If we are lucky enough tonight, we may be able to get one of the hardest ones. It will depend on your performance then. "
With these words in front of him, Huai Shi finally cheered up. After drinking a few cups of wine, he stopped being greedy. Instead, he sat upright, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.
Who doesn’t like the opportunity to save money?
Whether it was because he had stayed here for a long time or because he had finally gotten used to the atmosphere here, Huai Shi felt that his suppressed stigma finally had some room for movement.
The calm source gradually became rippled.
It was as if I was finally getting used to it after diving hundreds of meters underwater.
After absorbing the vitality in the food and wine, Huaishi's chaotic essence began to change, and was transformed into a type more suitable for this place, like a chameleon, freely changing the details of his attributes.
After Huai Shi discovered this, she couldn't hold back the joy in her heart: Wouldn't it mean that if she just pulled out a piece of grass and tasted it wherever she went, she would be exempt from acclimatization?
Then, he finally noticed something unusual floating in the air.
Abnormalities are expected, but it would be strange to say that there is something normal in a place shrouded in eternal darkness. But Huaishi always felt that something was wrong.
Staring at the dissolute banquet in front of me, uneasiness inevitably arises in my heart.
Most of the chill caused by the premonition of death came from the banquet attendees in the hall, but a crucial part had no origin.
In other words, this anomaly was so well hidden that Huaishi couldn't find any clues about it.
Huai Shi held up the fan and looked at each one through the gap.
Those evil spirits who became dissolute and violent after being drunk and the ministers who looked even more weird were either singing or reciting poems, and some two or three gathered together to throw pots and have fun.
There are also big mouths of gluttons.
Some of the more elegant ones actually lowered the curtains and tasted incense on the spot, praising the elegant smell loudly.
When they were drinking heavily, someone would sigh helplessly: "It's a pity that there is good wine and good music, but there is no bright moon for people to taste it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more and more enjoyable?"
"Mingyue? Isn't that simple?"
The snake-faced doctor in the hall laughed, pulled out a piece of white paper from his sleeve, cut it into a disc shape with scissors, and threw it toward the cloudy sky outside the hall.
The white paper flew into the sky and expanded rapidly, like a jade plate, letting go of its gleaming light.
Turn into the bright moon.
This skill of cutting paper into the moon is really amazing. Then under the pale light, the ministers drinking and having fun in the palace became more and more dissolute.
The demons sang loudly and danced for joy.
But Huai Shi became more and more confused.
Drowsy.
Not only was the drunkenness suddenly overtaking him, but the changes in his essence matched the dark pulse of this place. The scene in front of Huai Shi suddenly became trance-like.
A gust of cold wind blew, bringing a sense of coolness, and the noise in the hall became louder and louder.
But in Huaishi's eyes, the cold wind suddenly caused ripples in the scene in front of him, as if the hanging brocade curtain was shaking, revealing a gap between the seams of nothingness.
"Did you notice it so quickly?"
At that moment, the crow in the Book of Destiny sighed: "Don't say that I deliberately frightened the children."
The crisp sound of snapping fingers spread in Huai Shi's ears.
In an instant, the beautiful illusion was torn apart, revealing the darkness hidden behind the darkness.
Hell behind hell.
Huai Shi took a breath of air.
I recommend a new book by an old author, "Become a Top Student from Now on"
