Picturesque mountains and rivers of the motherland

There is an old saying that goes well, if you are frustrated in love, you will be proud in the workplace.

When Bai Ting saw the latest financial statement of the system, he agreed with this sentence.

After counting the zeros after the net profit, Bai Ting said that Wang Jianlin's small goal of [-] million is not very pretentious.

Rich and willful, Bai Ting quickly unfolded the map and continued to unlock new attractions.

[Shaanxi Province] There are so many scenic spots on the map, it was hard for Bai Ting to pick and choose.But he didn't have the courage to unlock the entire map of Xi'an city as boldly as last time.A broken capital chain is an unspeakable pain.

After much deliberation, Bai Ting finally chose a scenic spot that he had never been to before traveling, 【Diaoyutai】.This Diaoyutai is not the Diaoyutai in Haidian District, Beijing, but a scenic spot in Baoji, Shaanxi. It was named after Jiang Taigong lived in seclusion here before he became involved in politics.

Although he will never visit this scenic spot, Jiang Ziya is an ancient sage highly appreciated by the Bai Ting. He is known as the originator of military strategists and the source of military affairs.He was poor for half of his life, lived in seclusion in the mountains, cultivated his health, and finally met the Lord of the Ming Dynasty.

The story of Jiang Taigong fishing is still talked about by the world after thousands of years.

Because he had never been to this scenic spot before, Bai Ting became more interested in exploring, and stopped and stopped along the way, even though he was alone, he was also full of interest.

The scenic spot is not big, with beautiful mountains and rivers. Walking along the stream, there are Sanqing Temple, Taigong Temple, Wenwang Temple, etc. along the way, as well as wonderful sights such as a stone carrying five cypresses.

There is a boulder beside the stream, which is the rumored Diaoyutai.

On the Diaoyutai, a white-haired old man sat among them, with an extraordinary bearing.Surrounded by torrents and splashing waves, the old man is calm, graceful and luxurious.

Bai Ting was overjoyed immediately, although the old man didn't hold a boom, since this scenic spot is called Diaoyutai, who else could it be if it wasn't Jiang Ziya.

Bai Ting was very excited to meet this military master, the military sage of Qi State, and the ancestor of Chinese martial arts. He stepped forward in three steps and knelt down beside the old man.

The old man still kept his eyes closed, as if he didn't notice Bai Ting's arrival.

Bai Ting secretly lamented that his kindness was indeed what Sima Qian praised so highly that "the words and soldiers of later generations and the Yin power of Zhou were all based on the mastermind of Zong Taigong."

Bai Ting straightened his clothes to make himself well-dressed, and then asked: "Mr. Dare is Jiang Taigong."

The old man slowly opened his eyes.Compared with his white hair and pale appearance, his eyes are piercing and clear.

It is worthy of Wen Neng to govern the country and secure the country, Jiang Taigong, the originator of Wu Nai military strategist!Bai Ting sighed again.

The old man stared at Bai Ting and said quietly, "I am a fish."

Bai Ting:? ? ?

Before Bai Ting could understand the old man's words, the system answered his questions.

Shenzhou System: Congratulations to the host, unlock [Diaoyutai] NPPC Description: Be with Jiang Taigong all day long, and accompany him through the long years of seclusion.

Bai Ting: This is also possible? ? ?

Before Bai Ting complained that the system did not play cards according to common sense, the old man was filled with righteous indignation and opened his mouth.

"Can you give me something to eat first? I'm so hungry. Jiang Ziya took an empty fishing rod and hung it on my head for several years without even hanging an earthworm. Do you think this person is short-hearted? Why? There was no Animal Cruelty Protection Association in the Shang Dynasty? I must sue this behavior!"

Bai Ting: ...

Bai Ting originally wanted to say that it was King Wen of Zhou who was caught and not you, but in the spirit of respecting the old and caring for the young even if it was a monster, Bai Ting swallowed his words and took out all the food from the storage container.

After the old man finished gorging and his expression was no longer bitter, Bai Ting said, "May I ask, where did Mr. Jiang go?"

The old man looked mentally retarded: "Are you stupid? Mister has already passed away and became a protective god."

Bai Ting: ...

Reasonable, well-founded, very reasonable, and powerless to refute.

At the same time, the system notification sounded again.

Shenzhou system: "Congratulations to the host for activating the NPC [fish] upgrade conditions. Upgrade requirements: feeding. Current progress: 1/10000. After the progress is full, you can get an NPC skill once."

Bai Ting counted the progress bar, confirmed that there were four zeros behind it, and asked the system angrily: "It takes so much food to reach 1/10000, are you kidding me?"

The system fell silent.

The authority of the system cannot be questioned.

Bai Ting looked at the old man helplessly: "Are you a fish or a glutton, your appetite is too exaggerated."

The old man rubbed his stomach and said helplessly, "I've been hungry for too long."

Bai Ting: "What skills do you acquire after leveling up?"

Old man: "I can help you answer your questions"

Bai Ting: ...

You are a fish who can answer questions and solve puzzles.

As if hearing the voice in Bai Ting's mind, the old man said: "My grandfather and I look at each other every day, and we have cultivated a little bit of martial arts..."

However, Bai Ting did not want to hear the story of Yu and Jiang Ziya meeting a bosom friend in high mountains and flowing water. "Lu Bi in the Confucian Temple can answer questions with just a little money. I'm afraid your appetite will bankrupt you."

Yu snorted: "That kid can only explain some trivial matters in life, difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and when it comes to military politics, it's at best just talking on paper."

Federal Fourth Army headquarters.

The man rubs his temples, distraught.His facial features are very gentle, but his temperament is full of oppression. If you look at him more often, you will feel that you are in a sea of ​​swords and flames.

Someone pushed the door and entered. "Marshal, the boat ticket and hotel have been booked, when will you leave?"

"What ticket?" The man frowned slightly, his eyes were calm and there was a chill.

The subordinate was trembling: "The old lady made it for you."

"Got it, I'll pack up and leave later."

The man's name is Lou Jingming, the marshal of the Fourth Federation Army, and the eldest son of the central Xinglou family.Yes, Lou Kaimo's brother.

Lou Jingming made great achievements on the battlefield and was regarded as a god by the people of the Federation.

The military department has 20 days of annual leave every year, but Lou Jingming basically ignores it, and stays on the job year-round.The mother who cherished her son had no choice but to act first, and decisively booked a trip for him.

Lou Jingming looked at the ferry ticket in his hand, "Huaxia Star?"In the fourth star field?Isn't this the planet where his brother was discovered before?

Lou Jingming is naturally aware of the fact that Lou Kaimo was missing for a year and was found.His mother's calls were so frequent a while ago that he was almost aware of Lou Kaimo's every move at the same time.

"Jingming, do you know that your brother has become a fool!" said the mother.

Mom, what is the excitement on your face?

"Jingming, we are doing our best to treat your brother, but there is little hope right now. Your brother may remain like this forever."

Mom, the joy on your face is almost over the sky, those who don't know think you are a stepmother.

"Jingming, your brother is back to normal, hey."

Mom, why are you so sorry?

During those days, Lou Jingming not only knew the whole process of his younger brother turning into a fool and back to normal, but also got a lot of food and attractions from Huaxia Star by his mother.

Lou Jingming looked at the map of the fourth star field in front of him.When he first came to the fourth star field to take office in his early years, he had passed the 25184 star, which is the original body of the Huaxia star.He remembered that Star 25184 at that time was an uninhabitable planet with zero resources and zero population. He did not expect that after investment and transformation, it would become the fastest-growing popular tourist resort planet in the fourth star field.

Well, go and have a look.

==

The afternoon sun was like broken gold, shining brightly all over the ground.

Lou Jingming was a little surprised when he saw the Chinese stars coming and going.The bustling scene here is very different from the impression he occasionally passed by a few years ago.

"Marshal, shall we go back to the hotel to rest first? Or find a scenic spot to enjoy?"

Holding the electronic screen in his assistant, he looked at the scenic spot guide inside and was eager to try.His workaholic boss is finally on vacation, and he can enjoy a few days of leisure with the proud.

Lou Jingming saw through the other party's mind, especially when the other party watched the food guide on the screen, salivating, almost drooling to the ground.

"I'll walk by myself, you don't need to accompany me."

Lou Jingming opened the Huaxia Star electronic guide, selected the column for the number of tourists in each scenic spot, and clicked on the scenic spot with the least number of tourists.

【Shaanxi Province - Diaoyutai】

Current number of visitors: 2

Lou Jingming likes to be quiet, the roar of the battlefield makes him cherish the time when his ears are clean.

When you come to the scenic spot, there is a couple not far from the entrance, as if they regard others as nothing, hugging each other lingeringly.

Obviously, this couple is one of the few tourists in this scenic spot.

Lou Jingming strode into the depths of the scenic spot.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, simple and plain, without merit or fault.This is Lou Jingming's evaluation of the scenic spot.

Just as he was about to return, he suddenly saw an old man leaning against a boulder and closing his eyes to rest by the river.

Lou Jingming was surprised, there were not only two tourists here, and where did these people come from.

Perhaps it was because of the old man's laid-back and free-spirited temperament that Lou Jingming seldom stepped forward to initiate a conversation.

"Where is the old man from?" Lou Jingming asked.

As if waking up from a dream, the old man stretched his waist, looked at Lou Jingming for a while, and did not answer his question, but instead asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

Lou Jingming was startled.

His demeanor is full of aggressiveness, even if he speaks mildly on weekdays, he can make the other party tremble like walking on thin ice.The old man was always at ease, as if he only regarded him as a child with yellow hair.

Lou Jingming suddenly became interested and took out a piece of military food.

Lou Jingming observed the other party's expression.

The other party looked like he had lived in the mountains for a long time, and he didn't respond to the army-specific marks and words on the food.

"The taste is average, a bit dry, is there any more?" The old man asked, thought for a while and said: "If you can fill me up, I can answer your questions once."

Lou Jingming was not annoyed by the tone, and handed three more copies.

It is also three and two, and the three rations have bottomed out.

This time Lou Jingming was slightly surprised, you know, this special military ration is no different than ordinary food, one serving is enough to feed a strong man, even the big eater in his army is only eating two servings.The old man seemed weak, but his stomach was a bottomless pit.

"Don't tell me, I'm pretty hungry." It was rare for the old man to say a good word, but he quickly changed the topic. "Is there any more?"

Lou Jingming: ...

Although a little speechless, but in the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young and sending the Buddha to the West, Lou Jingming took another ten rations for the old man.

After a while, Shifen bottomed out again.

Old man: "Is there any more?"

Lou Jingming: ...

After repeating the conversation more than ten times, the old man finally touched his belly in satisfaction and collapsed on the boulder.

The old man: "Young man, thank you. Since the opening of this place, many people have passed by to feed me, but they think I am greedy, and they are rarely willing to give me food again and again. But I am really hungry."

Lou Jingming thought, maybe you misunderstood, a normal person would never carry enough rations to feed half a regiment.

The old man: "I just said, you make me full, I will answer your questions for once, do you have any confusion, young man."

Lou Jingming was amused from the bottom of his heart. An old man in the mountains who eats a bit exaggeratedly and doesn't even know the signs of military rations wants to answer questions for the marshal.

Lou Jingming has indeed been upset for a while.The active period of the Zerg has come again, and they invade the federal territory from time to time.In addition to the waves of giant insects that have come over the past few years, there has also been an unprecedented crisis-alien creatures.

This wave of alien creatures is different from ordinary alien beasts. They are sticky and greasy, and their fleshy bodies are like a lump of soft glue. Ordinary energy cannons and quantum cannons have no effect on them. They need to be captured with a well-fitting physical device. Within a few hours, someone with high spiritual power will destroy its action center, otherwise it will be able to slowly penetrate all substances and escape.

What troubled Lou Jingming the most was that these alien creatures not only appeared on planets in the fourth star field, but also easily sneaked into heavily guarded military bases, destroying the base's armaments, armor and protection.

Lou Jingming looked at the old man, and confided his troubles to him in a funny way.After finishing speaking, I feel refreshed. After all, on weekdays, he must be the marshal that everyone relies on and relies on. He must not show any troubles. He should be omnipotent and fearless.

The old man nodded, with a look of sympathy, sat up from the boulder, and suddenly danced.

The dance was extremely funny, like an orangutan with uncoordinated limbs trying to salvage the moon in the water and pick the stars in the sky.

"Old man, stop tormenting and take a rest." Lou Jingming couldn't stand it.

The old man ignored it and devoted himself to the dance, chanting words from time to time.

After a long while, the dance with hot eyes finally ended, and the old man said to Lou Jingming: "Young man, after my ingenious calculation and the help of my grandfather, to solve the trouble you mentioned, you only need to combine green pepper, citric fruit, and red pepper. Cook the three kinds of crops in equal amounts, and pour them on the abnormal shape to solve the problem."

Green peppers, citrus fruits, and red kernels are the three most common seasoning crops in the Federation, which are roughly equal to onion, ginger, and garlic on the earth.Different from onion, ginger and garlic, the taste of the three crops is mutually exclusive, and adding any two together is extremely disgusting, and dishes can only be seasoned with at most one crop.

Lou Jingming didn't know whether to laugh or cry when answering this question: "Why, you want to kill that alien with disgust?" It's a pity that the alien doesn't seem to have smell and taste organs, and its stun bombs and various poisons are in vain.

Lou Jingming only thought that the other party was talking nonsense, but he didn't take it seriously.

The two chatted for a long time.

What surprised Lou Jingming was that the old man had unique insights into formations, strategies and tactics, inspiring the morale of the army, and training to strengthen the army.At the end of the chat, Lou Jingming felt a little unfulfilled and hated seeing each other too late.

the next day.Lou Jingming came to Diaoyutai again, but the old man was nowhere to be seen.Lou Jingming suddenly regretted not leaving the old man's contact information.

In this way, on Huaxia Star Five Days, Lou Jingming was finally unable to meet the old man again, and felt somewhat lost for a moment.

==

After the vacation was over, Lou Jingming returned to the base.

There was a scene of chaos in the base.

It turned out that in the few days after Lou Jingming left, the aliens that had been repelled before made a comeback, and entered the base in a particularly rampant manner, causing everyone to be devastated.

The deputy marshal didn't want to disturb his workaholic boss, who was on vacation for the first time in several years, and led the army to resist the alien without notifying Lou Jingming.

"Let me know next time if there is something to do." Lou Jingming said, he understands the good intentions of his subordinates, but he doesn't like them to make their own decisions.

The subordinates quickly handed over the reports of the past few days to Lou Jingming.

For the time being, no one died, but the number of seriously injured was as high as 700, and 70.00 mechas with a damage degree of more than 220% were temporarily unable to count the amount of damage to the protection settings.

The deputy marshal was anxious: "When this alien first appeared, although it was a little unsolvable, but fortunately, the number was not large. Now it seems to be multiplying rapidly. If this growth continues and we don't find a way to contain it, we will be overpowered. Sending the other eight legions to help, I am afraid it will be difficult to solve."

Lou Jingming: "How is the research on the specimens submitted to the Central Star Research Institute?"

Deputy Marshal: "All research institutes and colleges and universities can't give countermeasures."

Just as he was talking, his subordinates came to report that another wave of aliens came out of the forest, and the army and the government were in a hurry to evacuate the crowd.

Wars raged inside and outside the military base for a while, the smoke and dust from the artillery were densely packed in the air, and the hustle and bustle of people was like the noise of boiling water, which could not be heard clearly.

After imprisoning another seven or eight aliens, the deputy marshal said distressedly: "Hey, this ghost is invulnerable to guns and guns, cannons can't penetrate it, and poisons are useless. Do you want to destroy human beings and become the top of the food chain?"

Lou Jingming used mental power to destroy the central nervous system of the imprisoned alien, and for some reason, the words of the old man that day came to mind.

——"Just cook the three crops of green pepper, citric acid fruit, and red bean in equal amounts, and pour them on the alien shape to solve the problem."

At first he just thought it was nonsense, but after talking with the old man, he felt that the old man was a strange person with profound knowledge and insight.

After Lou Jingming solved the strange shape in front of him, he ordered his subordinates: "Order the kitchen to cook a pot of food mixed with green peppers, citric fruit, and red kernels."

The subordinate retched. The taste of the mixture of these three crops was "wonderful" just thinking about it.

Soon, devil's food was sent to the front lines.

Lou Jingming said, "Splash at the alien."

Subordinates: Boss, is this trying to disgust the alien?

The monks Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. After all, this alien has no sense of taste or smell. If they threw this thing out, they probably were the ones who were disgusted.

However, the military order was like a mountain, and everyone did not hesitate, and followed it immediately.

The miracle has appeared!

The moment the devil's food touched the alien, the alien seemed to be possessed by a spell. Most of the original ferocity of claws and fangs faded immediately, and the body shook on the spot, and then quickly shrank like a dehydrated jellyfish.

The shriveled alien lost its combat power, and flopped on the ground, lingering on the ground. Without the time to hold a meeting, it quietly stuck to the ground and remained motionless, like a sacrificial paper on a grave, full of desolation.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

The invincible alien, with one enemy against a hundred, fell under the devil's cooking of these three common foods?

What kind of ridiculous and ridiculous setting is this?

But rather than surprise, everyone was more ecstatic.

The people in front immediately poured a few spoonfuls of devil's food, and as expected, the alien instantly turned into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

However, after more than 20 minutes, the battle ended and everything returned to calm.

"It's like a dream, old Liu, pinch me to see... ah, ah, why do you pinch so hard?"

"Because it feels like a dream to me too."

"Then you won't pinch yourself?"

"You told me to pinch you..."

Everyone was immersed in mixed emotions of joy and disbelief.

"Boss, you are a genius! How did you come up with this idea?"

Lou Jingming looked at the strange-shaped corpses all over the place, and his heart was as shocked as everyone else.He originally had the mentality of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he didn't believe that three common ingredients could have such power.A difficult problem that all research institutes could not solve was actually solved by an old man!Where is this old man sacred?

Lou Jingming said: "I just got advice from an expert. By the way, help me arrange the boat ticket to Huaxia Star tomorrow."
