After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Huang Guxuan recalled the day's meeting in his room.

The difficulty of counterattack lies not in the number and strength of the enemy, but in the enemy's strange ability. The order can assimilate nearby people and transform them into servants or even servants. The lower the realm, the easier it is to be tricked. Being suddenly backstabbed by a comrade in the middle of a war can easily affect morale.

Although Yuanliu has developed a pill that reduces the probability of transformation, it only reduces the probability and cannot completely solve the problem. Moreover, the side effects of this pill are extremely serious. Within a few days of taking the pill, you will almost lose your combat effectiveness.

Which people to send and how to allocate them are the topics of the meeting.

In fact, as long as the god-level strongmen who go to the front line take action, these problems will not exist. Their every move is devastating, and their power is enough to deal with countless beasts. Someone in the Yuanliu has calculated that if they participate in this counterattack at the god-level, the probability of them being transformed is extremely low, almost impossible.

However, the gods came for the third-level messenger. As for other things, if they want them to take action, it depends on the ability of the person in charge of each battlefield, and he, Huang Guxuan, also has to keep a hand to prevent being stabbed in the back.

Before he knew it, the moon was at its zenith. Huang Guxuan put his worries aside and decided to go out for a walk.

He saw that the light in Xiao's room was still on, then he remembered that the latter had borrowed the kitchen and was probably there now.

Not done yet?

With doubt in his heart, he walked towards the kitchen. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance of apricots. Xiao was holding a square mold and was about to pour out the contents.

Huang Guxuan walked forward and saw the solidified almond tofu. He seemed to suddenly think of something, and made a soft "tsk" sound, turned around and left, leaving Xiao looking at his back with a puzzled look on his face.

Soon, Xiao put the matter behind him.

Cut into pieces and place on a plate... Ouch, too much almond tofu. Add condiments for decoration, and you're done!

Xiao tried a piece and found it quite good, showing that his cooking skills had not deteriorated.

At this time, the green goblin who had been hiding suddenly appeared: "Almond tofu?"

Xiao was staring at the remaining almond tofu, wondering whether to make another plate. When he heard Green Xiao's voice, an idea came to his mind.

"There are some ingredients left, you can make a plate," he said.

Red Mandrill: "You can do it too?"

"Yeah." Xiao responded, and Xiao handed over the control of his body to him. Feeling the expectant and suspicious gazes, he hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the remaining almond tofu. Soon, a plate of "Sweet Dreams" was ready.

Red Xiao: "Did you really make it?"

Red Xiao: No, I guess it’s just that I can’t do it?

Green Mandrill: “Want to try?”

Red Xiao muttered, "Sharing a body is really troublesome," and tried two dishes. The taste of the two dishes was slightly different, but they were both flavors he liked.

How could I not like something that I made?

I don’t know if it was Xiao’s illusion, but Red Xiao usually gave him the feeling of a ruffled owl. After eating "Sweet Dreams", it was as if someone had stroked its fur, and it felt less aggressive.

The red mandrill took a few bites and then realized belatedly that he was being fed by the other two.

Hiss, do you still want to eat it?

Just when he was struggling between his image and food, a figure suddenly rushed in and quickly solved his problem - he threw control back to Xiao.

"Hey, why are there people here? You were in a meeting too late and you're hungry, so you came to the kitchen to find something to eat?"

Without waiting for Xiao to react, the woman who suddenly broke in started looking for food on her own, mumbling non-stop.

"Really? The annual meeting activities for this year had already been decided, but suddenly there were new requirements."

"Add activities that can boost morale - I've never been on a battlefield, how would I know!"

"I can't think of it at all! The Chinese New Year is less than ten days away. Even if I can think of it, I still need time to arrange and rehearse..."

Suddenly, the woman looked at Xiao: "Hey, why do you look a little strange to me? Have I never seen you before?"

"Well, this is the first time we meet."

Hearing this, the woman showed an embarrassed look on her face. She quickly calmed down and apologized. When she saw the almond tofu in Xiao's hand, she changed the subject abruptly: "Did you make this yourself?"

"Yeah," Xiao nodded, with no intention of sharing anything on his face, "You mentioned the annual meeting?"

"Yes. During the Chinese New Year every year, grassroots community organizations will hold activities together." The woman spoke lightly, and it seemed that she did not intend to talk in detail.

Thinking back to how the other person was about to go crazy, Xiao felt a little sympathetic and decided to try to help her.

"If it boosts morale, a victory might help."

"Victory, does it mean to stage a great victory? There are indeed such plays in the folks, and we can get excited when we watch them, but will it really have any effect on those soldiers?"

“What if we let them participate in the show?”

"participate?"

If there is one thing that can be fought during the Chinese New Year, it would of course be the Nian beast.

Xiao asked, "Have you heard the story of the Nian beast?"

The other party shook his head.

Xiao was not surprised by this result. When he first crossed over, he had already learned that there were no mythological stories here, so naturally there was no local version of the Nian beast story.

As the story was told, the woman's numb eyes became brighter and brighter, and it was obvious that she had gained something. When the story was over, she said gratefully: "You really helped me a lot. By the way, what's your name?"

"elf."

"My name is Luo Yun. I am responsible for the handover and coordination between the City Lord's Mansion and the civil society organizations. If you are harassed by any civil society organization in the future, you can report my name. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

After saying that, she took out the communication stone and left the kitchen in a hurry.

After listening to Xiao's story, some ideas suddenly popped up in her mind. Now, she has to discuss with the representatives of those non-governmental organizations immediately to implement these ideas into specific matters.

When the notice arrived, her excitement calmed down a little. She recalled the experience of finding an unexpected surprise in the kitchen and murmured to herself: "Xiao... this name seems familiar."

......

Luo Yun came like the wind and left like the wind. Her voice calling people to a meeting came from outside the kitchen.

Only after the sound faded away did Xiao withdraw his gaze from the door.

To be honest, he was also a little curious about how the story of the Nian beast would be presented.

He put this little episode behind him, picked up two plates of food, and walked towards his residence in a happy mood.

The next morning, Xiao communicated with the servant who was in charge of his daily life and was about to prepare New Year's goods when a servant suddenly came to report that there was someone outside the mansion who claimed to know him and wanted to see him.

He came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and met Cheng Xiao here.

"How did you come?"

"Thank you for what you did yesterday."

"Yeah. By the way, someone asked me to tell you something."
