When the magic flower blooms

After eating breakfast and feeding Boss Bai, under Ming Ruoxing's suggestion, He Tiansi temporarily gave up his plan to go to the town to buy and buy, and started a more difficult task - cleaning.

After a brief discussion, they jointly worked out a top-down cleaning pattern.The two put on masks, disposable raincoats and shower caps instead of dustproof clothing, and "fully armed" went to the second floor.

All the doors and windows that had been dusty for many years were opened, and all the debris accumulated in the room was moved to the corridor.

Those that are too tattered are classified into one category, ready to be handed over to the recycler who will come to your door later to transport them away.Objects that look more valuable or have stories behind them are sorted and put back into the cleaned room.

Although these things are easy to say, they are actually hard work in practice.Fortunately, both of them are in the prime of life—it goes without saying that Ming Ruoxing has incredible strength, and it's just a piece of cake to casually move a hundred-kilo box.What's really strange is that He Tiansi seems to have inexhaustible strength today, moving up and down, moving this and that, but there is no adverse reaction of blushing and heartbeat at all.

Ming Ruoxing saw all of this, and didn't ask He Tiansi for an answer.He just silently found the fast bed board that He Tiansi broke off casually last night, and tried to break it off himself.

Unexpectedly, it was not as easy as imagined.

Not quite sure what this means, Ming Ruoxing didn't say anything, but just kept this matter in his heart, and then responded to He Tiansi's yelling, and devoted himself to the sweaty carrying work again.

After several hours of hard work by two people, all ten large and small rooms on the second floor were cleaned.The sundries that almost filled the entire space have now been compressed and organized into the capacity of three small rooms.After ventilation, the musty smell in the air basically disappeared, replaced by the fresh scent of mothballs.

The cleaning of the second floor was basically completed in the morning. After a simple meal of instant noodles at noon, the two of them quickly went to the cleaning work on the first floor without waiting for a lunch break.

Unlike the compact and narrow rental house style on the second floor, there are only six large rooms on the first floor.Except for the connected dining room and living room, the poorly ventilated kitchen, the hallway with the old sofa, and He Tiansi's own bedroom, there are two other rooms that are basically covered by large and small cardboard boxes and sundries. piled up.

However, to Ming Ruoxing's surprise, he had seen some of these sundries—they were the "relics" of the naga who were removed from the apartment back then.

I am worried that there may be some "cloaked" items mixed in.Ming Ruoxing immediately found an excuse to send He Tiansi away, and started to clean up by himself.

The sealed cardboard boxes were opened one by one for confirmation.Some are clothing and footwear, some are hardware tools from the storage room of the former apartment, and some are even books and magazines that have nothing to do with the demihuman world.It can be seen that all these sundries have been preliminarily screened before being sent here... In other words, when Boss Bai suddenly "disappeared" from the apartment, he was actually packed and sent to the owner Come to my side.

It seems that those people in the research institute don't just regard He Tiansi as a test subject.

Thinking of it this way, some things that Ming Ruoxing was brooding about were slightly relieved.

Although his inner thoughts continued, the finishing work in his hands did not stop for a moment.

There are a lot of Naga's previous clothes in the box, but if you take them out and let He Tiansi wear them now, I'm afraid they will be disgusted.Hardware tools can continue to be used, anyway, there are many places in this dilapidated house that need to be repaired urgently.And these books and magazines...

Ming Ruoxing's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered something that made him blush.

He quickly rummaged through various cardboard boxes, and actually found a bundle of bound foreign language magazines.You can even imagine the embarrassing expression of the person in charge of packing.

However, the more embarrassing things may still be hidden in the inside pages of the magazine.

It was clearly not a life-threatening matter, but Ming Ruoxing was so nervous that his scalp went numb.He stretched out his hand to the magazine that he would never forget for the rest of his life, rolled up the pages and flipped the pages with his thumbs.

With a "snap", the page stopped at a specific position.Two years later, the photo cut out from that desk calendar reappeared in front of him.

Still... that means it hasn't been discovered.At least one super-shameful secret was kept.

Ming Ruoxing let out a sigh of relief, and immediately took out the photo and secretly hid it in his pocket.

But at this moment, a series of footsteps sounded behind him, and He Tiansi recklessly rushed over with a mop.

"Xiao Ming, here is this for you - phew~~~"

He saw the pile of gaudy magazines in front of Ming Ruoxing at a glance.

"My God, there are such things in this box, no, are you hiding and secretly..."

"Go away!"

Being beaten up by the owner of the magazine, Ming Ruoxing blushed instantly as if he was about to explode, and threw a magazine backhand, hitting He Tiansi on the forehead.

Troubled and troubled, but the two of them still did the same thing.Most of the sundries downstairs were also moved upstairs after being counted and confirmed.Of the two vacated rooms, one was used as Ming Ruoxing's bedroom, and the other became He Tiansi's new studio.

As for the narrow and dark space under the stairs, under Ming Ruoxing's suggestion, it was transformed into a tool room, which houses Naga's original hardware tools. It looks like a small arsenal.

The super cleaning upstairs and downstairs is over, and the whole day is almost over.The tidying up of the inner and outer courtyards can only be continued until tomorrow.

After dinner was simply settled, the two of them took a bath and started tidying up the housework again.

Finally, he had his own room, and Ming Ruoxing tried to unpack his several large boxes of luggage - he hadn't found a suitable bed yet, and the mat could only be spread directly on the floor.I don't have a wardrobe either, so I just make do with a thread in the house to hang up my clothes.There is no shortage of tables and chairs, but there is nothing to put up.

And the most important thing is that the vertical electric fan moved from the living room is too high, and it can't blow on the mat on the ground at all.And the mosquito scent was too heavy, it was all squeezed on the ground, making Ming Ruoxing's eyes hurt.

It seems that some more furniture should be added.

Unable to fall asleep, Ming Ruoxing simply got up, took out a tape measure from his luggage, and began to measure the size of the room.He was trying to measure his strength when suddenly there were a few knocks on the wall.

"Are you asleep?" He Tiansi's voice was surprisingly clear.

Ming Ruoxing thought for a while, ignored him, and continued to measure.

Unexpectedly, the next door knocked twice again: "I heard the sound of you flicking the tape measure, do you want to help?"

Is this guy's ears getting more sensitive, or is this wall just so badly insulated?

Ming Ruoxing had a flash of inspiration, and the extraordinary performance of this guy in the morning suddenly appeared in his mind.So he responded with as soft a voice as possible: "Come on."

Three seconds later, there was a sound of panic from the next door, and He Tiansi ran over from the corridor immediately after.

Ming Ruoxing deliberately asked him half-jokingly: "The ears are so sharp, did you put your ears against the wall just now?"

"No." He Tiansi was puzzled, "I was lying on the bed just now, what's wrong?"

But He Tiansi's bed was not on the wall at all, but on the other side of his bedroom.

It seems that this guy's demihuman ability has indeed improved.

Ming Ruoxing secretly cheered up.Back then, the Naga was known as "the strongest combat power in the Yaan Bureau". Now, although He Tiansi may not be able to regain his glory in the past, his ability has recovered more, and the possibility of recovering his past memories should be greater.

Although there is no credible scientific basis, Ming Ruoxing can't help but have expectations.

After that, with the assistance of He Tiansi, he carefully measured the dimensions of the room, then took out the tablet computer from the luggage, and began to look for suitable furniture in the online shopping mall.

Anyway, there was nothing to do, so He Tiansi stayed by the side the whole time.At the beginning, he only occasionally helped with reference and gave some suggestions, but soon began to place orders, and there were all kinds of things, from dining table chandeliers to cement, switches, and pebbles.If Ming Ruoxing hadn't called to stop in time, I'm afraid it would not have been impossible to blow up the bank card that Uncle Guang returned.

"Why didn't I think of doing it myself."

Excitedly dragging the long list of purchases up and down, He Tiansi muttered while looking forward to future plans.

"Sure enough, I still do things alone, and I can't arouse interest."

"Then you can do more in the future."

Ming Ruoxing yawned, got up very naturally and walked outside.

"I leave the tablet to you, go ahead and buy it. I'm going to sleep."

Before He Tiansi came back to his senses, he slipped into the bedroom next door, locked the door, and lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

-

For several days after this, the arrangement and repair of the courtyard proceeded in an orderly manner.

All the weeds in the garden were uprooted.Stones and rubble in the soil were carefully dug out and discarded, and replaced with loam picked from barren fields.The goldfish in the pond were temporarily moved to a large bucket, hidden in a safe place where Boss Bai could not catch them. The silt and humus at the bottom of the water were fished out and piled up outside the yard to be exposed to the sun.

When the courtyard was almost in order, the first batch of online shopping materials also arrived first.So Ming Ruoxing finally had a bed, a wardrobe and a bedside table in his room, and a new chandelier and dining table in the dining room.

Not only that, He Tiansi also replaced all the rooms on the first floor with higher power light bulbs.The dark life is over, and even in the darkest night, we can clearly see each other's faces under the same roof.

More changes are still happening slowly, such as the two flower pots replanted with roses on the porch, the new shoe rack in the hallway, the exhaust fan on the top of the kitchen stove...

In short, to paraphrase He Tiansi's own words, "this home is becoming more and more like a home."

___________________________

Time soon entered the most difficult time of the year.

The early morning sun shot to the zenith with only a slight leap.The sun was burning with a sting, and the air was filled with flying dust, like a small desert.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the atrium garden like a desert oasis, an ambiguous conversation was going on by the pond.

"Relax your body and close your eyes.

"Breathing in...breathing out...

"Don't resist...feel my power, start to enter your body now..."

At the same time as issuing a series of hypnotic instructions, Ming Ruoxing stretched out his hands to hold He Tiansi's head.The two people lightly pressed their foreheads together, which is an intimate gesture that facilitates the exchange of pheromones between subhumans.

Similar spiritual training has been going on for about a week, and the purpose is very clear - Ming Ruoxing hopes to help He Tiansi learn to control the new force in his body, and even break through his own limitations and return to a higher level.

However, the plan belongs to the plan, but the progress is not optimistic.And the problem doesn't just lie with He Tiansi.

Maemis are buzzing from all directions, the pungent sunlight sifts from the leaves, and the water vapor is like viscous syrup, slowly hanging down close to the skin.

The two of them maintained their head-to-head posture, and locked their heat between their bodies. It looked more like they were playing some kind of childish endurance game.

After about two or three minutes, someone really couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'm so hot, go away!!"

Pushing away He Tiansi who was close at hand, Ming Ruoxing let out an unbearable roar.

At this moment, he has completely disregarded his image, only wearing a racerback vest and beach shorts, his legs are even soaked in the pond, but his body is still dripping with sweat, his long wet hair clings to his back, and he looks like he just Fished out of the water.

"Is it that hot?"

He Tiansi looked at him in disbelief: "Then cut your hair, it will make you uncomfortable."

Ming Ruoxing rolled his eyes at him, instead of explaining the real purpose of making a wish, he asked instead: "Aren't you hot?"

"I'm feeling fine."

He Tiansi stretched out his hands and touched his arms and neck, and then spread out his palms for Ming Ruoxing to check. He really didn't sweat at all.

"how come?"

Ming Ruoxing clearly remembered that in Changle Town nearly a month ago, He Tiansi, who had just been discharged from the hospital at that time, was also sweating profusely, why did he suddenly become like this now.

Seeing him wandering, He Tiansi put his hand on his forehead worriedly.

"Hey, why are you sweating so much? Are you sick?"

The moment he was touched, Ming Ruoxing shuddered violently.

He Tiansi's hands were cold.

This is a body temperature unique to cold-blooded demihumans, slightly lower than that of mammals.And they also need to pay special attention to sun protection and moisturizing in summer, otherwise skin problems such as peeling and cracking will easily occur.

The former Naga hated summer. Others put on short-sleeved shirts in June, but he wore long-sleeved shirts instead, and almost always wore sunglasses on his face.

Thinking of this, Ming Ruoxing immediately leaned over and pulled He Tiansi's arm to observe carefully - although the skin was a little dark, there was not even a sunburned scar.And the ice is cool, smooth and hairless, very comfortable to the touch.

"...I can't stay any longer, I have to go!"

In order to resist the idea of ​​hugging this arm tightly, Ming Ruoxing stood up exaggeratedly and stepped out of the pond.

"Don't tell me!" He Tiansi quickly grabbed him, "Where are you going?"

"Anywhere is good, as long as there is electricity and ice!"

"Be patient, the power bureau has said that the power supply will be restored at 03:30. Don't you think it will be soon—"

Just as he was saying this, there was a soft creaking sound in the air not far away.Boss Bai, who was lying on his stomach to enjoy the shade under the corridor, first pricked up his ears, and then Ming Ruoxing also turned his anger into joy.

"The call is coming!"

Just two seconds later, the sound of various electrical appliances waking up came from the room.The lights came on, the refrigerator started to operate, and the electric fan started to spin while shaking its head.

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food, the two people by the pond immediately split up and ran in two directions—He Tiansi scrambled to charge his phone, while Ming Ruoxing occupied the electric fan, brushing his hair up and blowing it on his back.

However, this touching scene of "everything in its place" did not last long.Just half an hour later, with a "snap", the power was cut off again.

The evil summer heat forces quickly made a comeback. Under Ming Ruoxing's yelling, He Tiansi quickly checked the fuses and electric meters at home, and concluded that the problem still lies in the external power supply facilities.

Fortunately, the little electricity in the mobile phone soon brought them the truth: During the recent summer vacation, there were too many children in the village and the electricity load was heavy, and the old power supply facilities were overwhelmed.The previous leak-trapping repairs may not solve the problem, and an upgrade is urgently needed.

At present, the people of the power supply bureau are still evaluating the specific plan.It seems that the electricity will not be restored for a while.He Tiansi had just finished talking with Xiaomei on the phone when he saw Ming Ruoxing walking over aggressively holding a travel bag.

"I'm leaving." He shook the car key in his hand, "Can you go?"

"I can't stay without electricity, but where are we going, back to City S?"

"City S is hotter than here! Why don't you go to City H, where the scenery is good and you can escape the heat, and you can even sketch if you want to paint."

"Not bad, I haven't been there yet...but where do we live?"

"There is a local hotel run by a subhuman, and the manager is my friend. There is a special suite where pets can be kept, and Boss Bai can also be brought along."

"Forget it, Lao Bai, he gets motion sickness, he threw up all the way the last time he was on the tractor I drove."

So the two entrusted Boss Bai to Uncle Guang and Aunt Guang, packed up their things, and started the long road to escape from Jinyu Village.

The drive from Changle Town to H City is about two hours, not very close, but the national highway is full of green water and green mountains, and the car is fully air-conditioned, which makes people feel much happier.

Worrying that Ming Ruoxing would fall asleep while driving alone, He Tiansi talked to him nonchalantly the whole time.When passing by the rest station, I also stopped for activities and to buy some food.It was very rare for the two people to have no argument or quarrel, and finally arrived at the destination shortly after the sun went down.

City H is a small city with beautiful scenery, and the tertiary industry is quite developed.People here live a prosperous and peaceful life, and the streets are clean and tidy, full of flowers, just like a small but exquisite bonsai, which makes many people linger.

On the streets at seven o'clock in the afternoon, the evening peak has begun to fall.The silver safari with the navigation turned on ran on the road and arrived at the scenic spot in the western suburbs of the city half an hour later.

Completely different from the farmhouses and youth hostels in Naga's mind, the "hotel" that Ming Ruoxing talked about was actually a large-scale resort hotel.In addition to the most common apartment-style rooms, there are also large and small villas scattered on a gentle slope of a considerable area.

"...You really are a local tyrant." He Tiansi once again looked at Ming Ruoxing with admiration.

The vehicle was parked steadily in the parking lot on the side of the hotel, and the two got out of the car and went straight to the lobby.

It was similar to the previous experience in the Hermit Restaurant and Yaren Supermarket. As soon as they entered the lobby, a man who looked like a foreman greeted them and led them into the "VIP Lounge" on the right side of the front desk.

On the way here, Ming Ruoxing had already briefly introduced the origin of this hotel - this is a chain hotel brand under the name of a foreign consortium.The actual controller of the consortium is the Italian Lion King family, and the core members are all high-level demihumans.

Like many other demi-human businesses, the hotel does not only accept demi-human guests.In fact, ordinary humans are the people with the highest occupancy rate here.The only privilege of demihumans is that they can choose a common floor or a "secret floor" where only demihumans live.

In order to gain insight for He Tiansi, Ming Ruoxing chose the confidential floor first.However, by coincidence, the foreman said that the confidential floor was being renovated and was not suitable for living.So the two had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and chose an ordinary standard room on the 11th floor.

Although it is an ordinary room, this is a luxury hotel after all, and the interior of the room is spacious and comfortable.The two chose beds respectively and left their luggage behind. He Tiansi was about to ask where he should go to fill his stomach, but Ming Ruoxing said that he would take him to experience the nightlife in the subhuman world.

So the two of them took the elevator back downstairs and left the hotel, and walked along the southwest path to the depths of the scenic spot.

About a quarter of an hour later, the lights of the hotel and surrounding buildings had all disappeared, and pitch-black pine forests towered on both sides of the path.Then, like a magical cottage in a fairy tale, a bar with neon lights appeared in front of them.

According to Ming Ruoxing, although this bar named "Xueliu" is located in a remote place, it is well-known in the Asian social circle.It serves Asian people who come here for vacation, and it is only open in spring, summer and autumn, and the drinks and light meals served in each season are different.

Eight o'clock in the evening may be too early for the bar, and there are not many vehicles on the open-air parking lot next to it.Ming Ruoxing led He Tiansi to the main entrance, and the welcome doorman scanned his wrist chip with a hand-held instrument to confirm his identity, and then came to scan He Tiansi again.

"He's my friend," Ming Ruoxing stopped the doorman, "Just charge the consumption to my account."

Obviously, the identification work in this bar was not strictly implemented, and the two of them were quickly put into the lobby.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary bar.Bar counters, booths, and a huge display wall filled with various wine bottles.And the waiters who wear classic suits and uniforms, come and go freely with drinks.

It is not suitable to drink directly with an empty stomach, so the two first chose a relatively quiet booth and studied the light meals in the bar.

Different from Hermitage's traditional Chinese and Western cooking techniques, the simple meals at the bar are completely Western.The only thing the two have in common is that all ingredients including ingredients are clearly marked under the name of the dish.

Ming Ruoxing ordered a potato cake with smoked salmon, and He Tiansi ordered a Spanish paella.While waiting for the meal, He Tiansi raised a new headache.

"Do demihumans generally not eat animals of their own kind?"

"What the hell is your problem?"

Anyway, being idle is boring, so Ming Ruoxing simply started a discussion with him.

"Isn't this question quite normal?" He Tiansi muttered, "Just as humans don't eat human flesh, sub-humans shouldn't eat the flesh of the same animal. Is this hard to understand?"

"People don't eat human flesh, that's because they are used to treating themselves as a different and simple species. But as I told you before, everyone in this world is a subhuman, but most people don't Know what your animal genes are."

"That's right."

He Tiansi showed a thoughtful expression, "Thus, those who don't eat human flesh, but munch on other meats, may have already eaten their own kind of meat."

"If you don't think so, you can't help it. But the concept of 'same kind' is very subtle—what kind of similarity can be called the same kind, and to what extent should it be similar? The genetic similarity between humans and pigs is 83% , are you the same as a pig?"

"I don't know anything about biology. But at least... after knowing that I have a special connection with a certain animal, I should have a special feeling for this animal. It's normal not to eat it, right?"

"There are indeed demihumans who have such thoughts, and there are not many."

Ming Ruoxing nodded, and turned his gaze to the glass window beside the table.On it, in the center of the bright light, He Tiansi's hazy face is reflected.

"However, there are some people who especially like to eat their own 'kinds'."

"Huh? There are people like that?"

He Tiansi widened his eyes and made an unprecedented grimace.

"I'm afraid it's not a psychological problem?!"

It's not every day that you scold yourself for such a rare thing.Ming Ruoxing coughed lightly to cover up his smile.It happened that two simple meals were brought up at the same time, and while picking up the knife and fork, he continued casually:

"I have a colleague who is known as the 'Snake King' King Cobra. This guy has no interest in serious eating, but he likes to eat snakes. What kind of salt and pepper snake steak, snake flavor, fried snake shreds, just like chewing French fries."

The squid rings on He Tiansi's fork almost fell back into the plate, as if he had heard some shocking human tragedy.

"Isn't that Hannibal in the snake? Then when he turns into a snake, will he drool when he looks at himself?"

"Pfft——" Ming Ruoxing almost suffered internal injuries, so he quickly drank his saliva to suppress his laughter.

"I also asked him what he thought. He said that the king cobra eats snakes. In fact, there are many animals that can kill each other. Some cubs will be recycled by their mothers when they are born. If it is not If you want to recognize such animals as your relatives, and don’t eat this or that, you’re just asking for trouble.”

"Oh……"

He Tiansi let out an exclamation of "a hundred times and a thousand times", obviously convinced by himself back then.He bowed his head and took a few mouthfuls of rice, then suddenly asked another question.

"Hey, the one who ate the snake, isn't it the colleague who threw the eel into your bowl?"

"……how do you know?"

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling."

He Tiansi smirked, a little smugly: "Didn't you say that you rarely make friends? So I guessed that these two might be the same person. When will you call them out and have a drink together? They are friends anyway. Well!"

"..."

Ming Ruoxing was silent for a few seconds, and finally chose an answer he didn't like the most: "He is no longer here."

He Tiansi opened his mouth, and it took him a while to "understand" Ming Ruoxing's meaning, so he quickly apologized.

"I have no idea……"

"It's not your fault." Ming Ruoxing shook his head and continued to cut the salmon on the plate.

The rare and harmonious atmosphere suddenly fell to the bottom.Although there was no contradiction, He Tiansi still felt suffocated and uncomfortable, and had to do something to breathe.

"It's okay, you still have me."

Even He Tiansi himself was a little surprised, but he did gently hold Ming Ruoxing's hand.

"If you need, I can be your friend for life."

From the moment he was held by He Tiansi, Ming Ruoxing stopped his movements, but he did not look at He Tiansi.

The two of them maintained this slightly weird posture, like a marriage proposal, until Ming Ruoxing hid the emotions that were about to come out, and turned the words that could not be uttered temporarily into a joke.

"Who wants to be your friend forever."

"Yes, yes, my pheasant is not as high as your house cat."

He Tiansi hurriedly followed down the steps, and forked a piece of salmon from Ming Ruoxing's plate.

By the time they had finished their simple meal, the clock had just slipped past nine o'clock in the evening.The guests in the bar gradually entered the venue, and the band began to play.Xueliu's nightlife has officially kicked off.

Signaling the waiter to remove the plate, the two decided to move to the bar to have a drink.

Like the common bars in the outside world, Xueliu's bar area looks very ordinary: ambiguous and dim lighting, metal high stools, and a whole wall of various foreign wines.And, of course, there's the bartender behind the counter, gracefully shaking a silver shaker.

Ming Ruoxing first ordered a cup of "Juixing" for himself.This is an interesting cocktail served in a classic glass. The gin and mint wine mixed with a small amount of butterfly pea flower juice presents a rich color of blue and green in the glass, like the ocean in the tropics, and like a cat's pupil.The suspended lime and ice cubes, as well as the salt grains on the rim of the glass, create a more three-dimensional and rich taste.

It's just that this glass of wine is a limited drink for the cat subhumans—after all, not all subhumans appreciate mint wine distilled from catnip.

The wine list soon arrived in He Tiansi's hands.He found that this was simply an alternative biology pamphlet: the first three pages were filled with drinks that all demihumans could drink, and as he continued to flip through, there appeared a variety of strictly limited drinks that were differentiated by species.

For example, the "Golden Hill" decorated with yellow-green lichen and with a spicy taste is exclusive to artiodactyls; the drink fermented with palm tree nectar is the favorite of bird subhumans.

Just like "Hermitage", all the drinks have a detailed list of ingredients to avoid accidental drinking. In terms of the type of wine and the various aromatic plants for bartending, it is even richer than "Hermitage".This may be because most people who patronize the bar have a curiosity and desire for novelty.

Under Ming Ruoxing's suggestion, He Tiansi still chose a conservative popular drink.Afterwards, the two sat on the edge of the bar and observed all kinds of demihumans.

According to Ming Ruoxing, Xueliu is the only subhuman bar in the city, and because it is located in a summer resort, the business has always been booming.But strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a small cheap bar in the demihuman society, and the real big shots usually don't come here.

"But the costumes and manners of the customers here are very good." In terms of facts, He Tiansi expressed his observation feelings.

"That's because many qualities of the awakened demihumans are significantly better than those of unawakened ordinary humans. Therefore, even if they are engaged in the same occupation, demihumans will often stand out one step earlier."

Ming Ruoxing did not forget to emphasize, "This is not racial discrimination, but an objective fact."

"Is it like the difference in IQ? Is it a sudden enlightenment like me? Isn't that a blessing in disguise?"

"Don't be too happy. Natural advantages alone are not enough. Some demihumans with high bloodlines are no better than street rats. On the contrary, there are also demihumans with low bloodlines who have high social status."

Right at this point, Ming Ruoxing compared the booth at the rear with his thumb.

"Do you recognize the man in red over there?"

He Tiansi pretended to glance over casually, and saw a not tall, unattractive, and rather thin man in red, talking loudly among a group of people.

"I don't know...but it seems familiar."

Ming Ruoxing turned on his phone and found a popular video with tens of millions of hits on social networks.

"This person is an Internet celebrity, and his specialty is commenting on popular social events. Many people praised him for his sharp words and unique views. It is reported that in January this year, his studio received [-] million A-round venture capital."

"so smart?!"

He Tiansi looked over there again, "You really can't judge by appearance...so 'being able to speak well' is his specialty?"

"His first lineage is Mynah, which belongs to the b-level gene. So he is only a founding species, and it cannot be more ordinary."

"Wait, you're talking too fast, let me digest it."

He Tiansi seemed dizzy, and stopped Ming Ruoxing with one hand.

"You mean, this Internet celebrity is a mynah, and the demihuman gene of the mynah belongs to the b-level gene... so what does it mean to build a group?"

"The founding species is a concept borrowed from conservation biology. It refers to this type of demihuman, which is like a cornerstone, forming the basis of the entire demihuman group. Therefore, they have the largest number, and their abilities are relatively relatively high. ordinary."

"And what about you? What level of genes are cats, and what kind are you?"

"Domestic cats generally belong to the A-level gene. If the first gene blood in a demihuman is A-level, then he belongs to the dominant species. The number is rarer than the establishment species."

"Is there a higher level? As for your colleague, that king cobra, what kind is he?"

"He...has both the King Cobra and Gyrfalcon two S-level genes. An excellent demihuman like him can protect others at any time like a big umbrella, so he is called the umbrella species."

"The Umbrella Protector... sounds awesome." He Tiansi's envy for himself was obvious to the naked eye: "Is there anyone more powerful than him?"

"Of course there is."

I don't know if it's the catnip or this topic that puts Ming Ruoxing in a good mood.He supported his head with one hand and narrowed his eyes lazily.

"do you know……"

He hooked his fingers to signal He Tiansi to take the initiative to come over with his ear, and his thin breath fell on the earlobe.

"There is an emperor in China's sub-human society, and that is the only publicly known legend in the world."

"Emperor? Legendary species?!"

The amount of information was too much, and He Tiansi was stunned for a while.It took another four or five seconds before he randomly chose an angle to complain about out of a thousand thoughts.

"What year is it... the emperor? Is this going to set back history?"

"It's just symbolic and has no real power. It's similar to a constitutional monarchy... No, it should be said to be lighter than that. After all, the royal family almost never shows their faces."

"I feel like my world view has been refreshed all over again."

He Tiansi drank the remaining wine in his glass in one gulp, and naturally asked for another glass.

"So, this legendary species... what kind of animal is it?"

"Of course it is a creature that ordinary people think only exists in legends."

Ming Ruoxing gave a surprising but reasonable answer.

"It's a dragon."
