Picturesque mountains and rivers of the motherland

The plan of the day is in the morning.

As usual, Bai Ting got up from bed early.The chirping of birds and insects outside the window heralded another sunny day.

It was only then that Bai Ting noticed that there was a row of message prompts on the authenticator with Do Not Disturb turned on at night.

Bai Ting clicked on the read button.

Sender: The Organizing Committee of the Best Travel Destination Contest

[Invitation Letter for the Award Ceremony of the Best Travel Destination Contest]

Mr. Bai Ting:

First of all, thank you and Huaxia Planet for your support for this competition.

It is my pleasure to inform you that Huaxia Star has entered the final stage of this competition, and the final award will be announced at the award ceremony.

Please, or your representatives, go to the Central Xingmingyue venue to attend the award ceremony on the night of August [-]th in the federal calendar.

The organizing committee will provide catering and accommodation, and reimburse the round-trip transportation expenses for two persons.

Bai Ting was refreshed for a moment, and couldn't help humming a piece of "Wild Wolf DISCO" that was popular before time travel.

Just when I hummed "Draw a rainbow with me on the left, draw a dragon on your right, and draw a picture of Aaron Kwok on your chest", a question came from behind.

"Who is Aaron Kwok?"

Bai Ting turned around, and saw Xiao Hei woke up at some time, standing behind him, his unparalleled handsome face was slightly flushed and sullen.

Getting angry?Bai Ting's first thought.

"I'll make pancakes for you later." Bai Ting reassured.It is better to fill the stomach than to ask for warmth.

It was rare for Xiao Hei not to be distracted by the food, but to seek the answer very stubbornly. "Who is Aaron Kwok? Why do you want to draw strokes on your chest?"

The light in the morning is very soft, even the little turtle in the fish tank, which looks like a hard rock, looks soft in the morning light.However, Xiao Hei went against the trend, and his handsome and unparalleled face showed a bit of unyielding toughness, which made the soft halo hard.

Seeing the expression on the beauty's face, Bai Ting couldn't help but groan.

The beauty is so stubborn, it's surprisingly cute.

"It doesn't matter who you are, it's less than one ten thousandth of you in my heart."

The moment Bai Ting blurted out, he was surprised.With such a "scumbag" line that comes so easily, I really can't believe that I have no love experience.

Sure enough, beauty can stimulate the infinite potential of human beings.

Xiao Hei looked at the person in front of him, his chest that was a bit congested suddenly opened up, like the breeze on the West Lake, blowing away the mist and gloom, and bringing in flowers, flowers, willows and greenery.

It is said that "blessings never come together, and misfortunes never come singly", but the Shenzhou system prefers to do the opposite.

"Congratulations to the host, you have achieved the super achievement 'Honor Belonging', you will get the achievement reward, and you can unlock a random attraction for free."

It was a competition award and a system reward, and Bai Ting suddenly wondered if he was possessed by a koi.

After a busy day, after dinner, Bai Ting clicked on the rewards.

Shenzhou system: "Congratulations to the host, get a special reward - [Hong Kong], unlock a new map."

This is not a koi carp, this is a koi carp at all, okay?

After the excitement, Bai Ting was still a little apprehensive: "The whole of Hong Kong as a scenic spot?"

The Shenzhou system is sure.

The whole city is regarded as a scenic spot, and Bai Ting has only seen Jinhua City before.Unlike Jinhua City, Jinhua City is included in the Zhejiang Province map, while Hong Kong unlocks a separate map.

Hong Kong is a very special city to Bai Ting.

Bai Ting once went to the University of Hong Kong as an exchange student, and that was the hardest life for Bai Ting.Because his English is a typical exam-oriented education English, he writes like a god, and speaks like a mute.So much so that in order to adapt to teaching in English, he spent a lot of time tutoring oral and listening comprehension.

Compared with his impression of Hong Kong when he was a student, what Bai Ting likes more is the style of Hong Kong in his childhood movies and TV shows.

Bai Ting likes the Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai's movies, the unruly and chaotic love, the crazy and decadent emotions, the lazy and noisy streets, and the blending of elements without socialist positive energy at all, full of casual, free and easy, decadent and flamboyant .

The feelings of Hong Kong are made up of many beautiful women, such as Teresa Teng, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Lin Qingxia, Wang Zuxian... so that looking at today's stars, I always feel a little dull.

There are also the most classic lines of "I will cook a bowl of noodles for you" and "Being a human being is the most important thing is to be happy".

It’s just that the Hong Kong experienced during the Baiting University period did not have the beauty in memory.Free and easy is not really free and easy, and frankness is not really frank.Just like the top of Daping Mountain and the housing estates, glamorous and impoverished, stripping away the so-called beauty of collision, what is left is desolation.

Bai Ting came to Hong Kong map.

Xiao Hei stood beside him calmly, already used to yesterday being a land of ruins, and today a city of singing and dancing has risen from the ground.

Bai Ting dragged Xiao Hei to take the two-decker tram that he liked most when he was a student.

The two sat on the second floor of the tram, looking at the various signboards in the night, and the neon signs on the street were shining brightly.

But at this moment, the city is empty.

When there are no people in this fast-paced city, there is no walking with wind, no high-spirited talk, no difficult Cantonese, and no living beings.The city is no longer called Hong Kong.

You must know that the most worthwhile taste in this city has never been Disney, Ocean Park, or Victoria Harbour, but a kind of human fireworks composed of various forms of the world.

Feeling bored, Bai Ting dragged Xiao Hei to the border of Kowloon.

The three major islands in Hong Kong are Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. Bai Ting’s favorite is Kowloon. Perhaps because of his childhood, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, and Mong Kok.

But soon, Bai Ting was disappointed again.Kowloon, without people, is so strange that it seems that they have never met each other.

Bai Ting's loss was seen by Xiao Hei. He held the other's shoulder, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the brow of the other, trying to smooth out the sadness on the forehead.

Bai Ting allowed him to move his hands up and down, but when his hands slid down his cheeks to his neck, a tangled expression appeared on his face.

Are you really too abrupt?Xiao Hei said in his heart, lowering his hands, a little frustrated.

In fact, Xiao Hei misunderstood, and Bai Ting's tangled expression was due to the reminder sent by the Shenzhou system.

Shenzhou system: "Congratulations to the host for triggering a random mission, [Kowloon]. Please find nine dragons in the Kowloon area, and open the Hong Kong NPC: Dragon. If the mission fails, Hong Kong will disappear."

Bai Ting rolled his eyes.He said, there is no free lunch in the world.

Not to mention that he can trigger the mission with another breath, looking for dragons in this empty city?Isn't it really an urban myth?If there were really nine dragons making waves, the city would have been razed to the ground long ago.

"Baibai?" Seeing that Bai Ting had been in a sluggish state for a long time, Xiao Hei called out uneasily, with his eyes wide open and his lips pursed slightly.He observed that Bai Ting liked this expression very much, and every time he made this expression, the other party's eyes would overflow with tenderness.

Bai Ting raised his face: Damn...

All thoughts of talking about life with the system have been completely thrown away.

Bai Ting admitted that every time this pretty face in front of him makes this kind of grievance, it is extremely lethal. No matter how many times, it will be like pouring cold lemonade in hot summer, and the heart will not stop. Bubble.

Bai Ting calmed himself down, and said, "I'm going to do a mission now, to find the nine dragons, or should we act separately?"

Xiao Hei was really wronged this time, and he didn't want to disobey Bai Ting, so he could only reply "Yes" feebly.

When Xiao Hei's figure disappeared at the end of the street, Bai Ting began to think about the clues of Jiulong.

Bai Ting once read the origin of the name of Kowloon in Hong Kong in a book "Hong Kong Folklore".

It is said that in the Southern Song Dynasty, an emperor visited Guangdong and passed through Hong Kong. He saw that there are eight mountains connected intermittently, like eight lifelike dragons.

The emperor asked the eunuch, where is this?

The eunuch couldn't answer for a while, so he had an idea: "Do you think these eight mountains look like eight dragons?"

The emperor saw that it was indeed similar. "So this place is called Eight Dragons?"

The emperor's entourage echoed: "The emperor is wise, this is the eight dragons!"

An official from Zhongshu Province had an idea, and said: "Emperor, you are the incarnation of a real dragon. Today, when the emperor comes here in person, it should be Kowloon. It is better to call Kowloon."

Emperor Longyan Dayue, hereby confers the name.

Maybe the Nine Dragons in this system task refers to the mountains?

But there are many hills in Hong Kong. For example, when I was in Baiting University, I liked to watch the night view of Hong Kong from Lion Rock.But if it is said to point out the nine most representative mountain ranges, it is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Since there is no choice, why not practice it in an all-round way?Bai Ting cleverly switched the map of Hong Kong to a topographic map, marked all the mountains in the map, and asked the system: "Is Kowloon in it?"

The Shenzhou system denies it.

It seems that this idea is wrong.

Bai Ting found a tea restaurant and continued to think.

Soon, Bai Ting thought of a new idea, maybe all nine dragons are not necessarily dragons?

It is said that the dragon had nine sons, the eldest son Jianniu, the second son Yazi, the third son Xiaofeng, the fourth son Pulao, the fifth son Suanni, the sixth son Baxia, the seventh son Biyan, the eighth son Negative, and the ninth son Chiki. Different, neither Jackie Chan.

But where to find this ancient beast?

Bai Ting's eyes fluttered, and he saw the sign of the bookstore not far away.

Soon, he found an "Illustrated Book of Ancient Beasts and Beasts" from a pile of books, which clearly depicted the Nine Sons Totem.

The system remains indifferent.

Not right?

Bai Ting was depressed.

Could it really be the dragon itself?

Bai Ting took an inventory of the dragons he knew, Zhu Jiuyin, Yinglong, Panlong, Zulong... There are too many dragons in various historical materials. Does he have to turn from "Shan Hai Jing" to "Drafts of Qing History"?

Bai Ting was melancholy.

Maybe, should we still ask for the real thing?Doesn't the literature catalog count?

In the blink of an eye, Bai Ting had a brand new idea.

There must be no dragons in this world, but the folks say that there is no distinction between snakes and dragons.Maybe he should go to Ocean Park to find the nine species of snakes?

Just as he was about to take action, a notification sound came from the system.

Shenzhou system: "Congratulations to the host, you have completed the random mission [Nine Dragons]."

Bai Ting was at a loss, what operation did he impress the system?

Not far away, Xiao Hei ran towards him briskly.

Come with Xiao Hei, there is also a cloth bag that is stuffed to the brim.

Bai Ting took out the bag of sundries.

A game disc, "Pocket Monsters", packed in a gift box with a Charizard;

A villain book, "Nezha's Mind", the cover is Nezha fighting the third prince of the Dragon King;

Two Japanese comics, one "Dragon Ball", the cover is the summoned dragon; the other "Spirited Away", the cover is Chihiro relying on the white dragon;

One movie disc, "Jurassic Park", needless to say, the package contains dinosaurs;

Four movie and TV promotional posters, one of "The Hobbit 2" with Smaug on the poster; one of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" with the flame dragon on the poster; Blue Dragon; a copy of How to Train Your Dragon, with Hiccup riding Night Fury.

No more, no less, exactly nine.

It seems that the task of [Kowloon] was completed by the little gangster himself.

Bai Ting was silent for a while, and called the system.

"Can you explain to me why you are a Shenzhou system, and the missions are all foreign dragons!"

Shenzhou system: "The foreign is used for the Chinese, pioneering and innovative, the combination of Chinese and Western, and a comprehensive understanding."

Bai Ting spit blood.

Talk to the system today, have you completed your life mission?

finished!And excess.

Bai Ting looked at Xiao Hei who had "praise" written all over his face: "How did you know to find these dragons?"

Xiao Hei: "I watched the movie with you before, and those are the dragons mentioned."

The film in Xiao Hei's mouth naturally refers to the "random film" function rewarded by the Shenzhou system.

Bai Ting finally understood why Xiao Hei was able to complete this task.What this guy sees is a set of things that the system has put together, can it not be connected with the brain circuit?

Got it!

Anyway, no matter how outrageous it is, the task is completed.

Bai Ting was looking forward to the NPC, after all, he had never seen such a fantasy creature as a living dragon before traveling.

Soon, the NPC dragon was born.

Surprisingly, the system did not give a weird western dragon, but a serious Chinese dragon.

The NPC dragon is full of golden light and majestic, with antlers, tiger eyes, bull nose, lion mouth, snake body, and smooth lines, which make people feel awe at first glance.After getting up, there is also a red light, and the gold and red complement each other, making Hong Kong, the city that never sleeps, eclipsed.

But why does this dragon look familiar?

Xiao Hei said: "Isn't this what will appear before every movie?"

Bai Ting: ...

Convex, he said that it always felt weird, and it turned out to be the "one cut" dragon mark of the National Film Bureau.

Bai Ting: "What is the role of this NPC?"

Shenzhou system: "It is useless, mainly used to promote the core socialist values."

Bai Ting: ...This really doesn't mean anything, does it?
