In the darkest era, he ignited the prairie fire. Facing the strongest enemies, he fought alone. Some call him a warlord of chaotic times, while others see him as a benevolent minister who saves the...
"There are three teachers in one village and two li, who don't know the Four Books, Five Classics and Six Principles, yet they dare to teach seven, eight, and nine other students. How audacious!"
Chen Jing almost spit out a mouthful of blood: "Are you piercing the intestines?"
"I'm Victor, the most famous poet here. My hobby is making couplets."
"Nine out of ten households are poor, and they can only scrape together eight taels, seven qian, six fen, five hao, and four li, yet they are still fickle-minded and extremely despicable." Chen Jing recited the original text.
"How neat!" a passerby exclaimed.
"In the picture, the dragon doesn't roar and the tiger doesn't roar. The little book boy is so funny." Here it comes again.
Fenrir walked in behind Chen Jing and saw the two of them circling the central duo. His ears twitched and he showed a puzzled expression.
"On the chessboard, the chariot has no wheels and the horse has no reins. I shout, 'General, be careful, be careful.'" Chen Jing recited again.
"Everywhere is harmonious and peaceful!"
Chen Jing covered his mouth.
"Why, are you scared?"
"Rain, wind, flowers, leaves, year after year, morning after night."
"Ahem, good, you're a master."
His younger brother shouted, "Brother! Come on!"
"Ten of us are thinking about our king, our country and our society."
"Eight eyes appreciate it together, appreciate the flowers, the moon and the dog."
"I am very majestic and show my courage."
"You look timid and have half a pig's head."
"How could I, the great Victor, lose to an admiral like you? I'm going to dance on your grave."
Chen Jing sneered, "Ru's bathtub is just for bastards."
"Fish is fat and fruit is ripe, and it goes into my stomach."
"Your mother will cook for you!"
"I don't have a mother. I'm an orphan."
Zuan spoke.
(The couplet is a meme I saw before, the King of Kings. The original lines were a bit problematic, so I chose to change them a bit. It’s not as vivid as the original, sorry.)
"After today's conversation, I'm impressed by your impressive abilities as an admiral. What can I do for you? My scope of work is quite extensive..."
"Stop, I'm not here to talk to you about the scope of business. Do you remember your childhood?"
"I can't remember clearly. If you're here to ask about the ruins, you might be disappointed. I don't have any memories of that place. Are you satisfied?"
Chen Jing nodded and patted Fenrir on the shoulder: "Let's go."
"Wait, let's play another round!"
"No, I don't have that kind of literary talent."
Fenrir asked: "What's the situation now? Are there no clues?"
"Never mind, let's go to the next ruins first."
Ruins No. 3.
Unlike the previous two ruins, this wasn't a single building, but an area. According to Anna, it was once a testing ground for the second-generation civilization. That was the universe's true mythological era, populated by ancient gods, all of whom were incredibly powerful (powers weren't divided into so many areas; most were controlled by a single domain).
But now, such things rarely happen. At that time, civilization cooperated with gods, and the level of science and technology advanced by leaps and bounds, which was simply exaggerated. For example, many current civilizations don’t even have to think about square technology, which existed in that era, such as imitations of royal weapons.
This kind of ruins also represents danger. Up to now, most of the second-generation ruins are still restricted areas, and even Li He has not successfully opened them.
And now Anna had told them that they were safe. Although Chen Jing was quite skeptical, he finally chose to believe the lovely Anna.
There is no way if you don't believe it.
RT5 stopped at the dock here for a simple repair and replenishment. Intelligent warships like them can also complete supplies in such places because they only need "basic material packages" instead of various parts like regular warships in the past.
"It will probably take a day. We haven't had a break before." said RT5.
Chen Jing smacked his lips: "What a hassle."
"Give me food! I want to eat."
"Okay, okay, okay. You're not dragging a corpse. It's safe. No one's going to snatch it from you."
"Drag a corpse?"
"No, I'm just persecuting a starving tactical T-doll."
Fenrir and Chen Jing entered the market. Even in this marginalized area, humans still engaged in some trade, and because it was on the fringes, some transactions that wouldn't normally be seen publicly could be brought to light. And Chen Jing, dressed in uniform, entered the place.
Everyone around him was looking at him, with all kinds of malicious eyes. It was not that Chen Jing was deliberately causing trouble, but his previous ranger suit had been washed, and even earlier he only had an apprentice suit, which was really embarrassing.
In the end, Chen Jing could only stand there like a patrolman in the slums. He'd already tried letting Fenrir go shopping; whenever he approached a shop, the owner would immediately retreat into a corner as if facing a formidable enemy. Looking up the Admiral's database, all the previous sheriffs in this area had been eliminated.
Brutal! Chen Jing shuddered. He was just an ordinary person. Even though Fenrir was right next to him, he still didn't take his own safety seriously. He walked to the door of the nearest stall, glanced at the owner, then rubbed his hands together and made a gesture he didn't understand: "You know."
The boss was a bald, greasy middle-aged man with a small green dragon tattooed on his right arm.
“…” The two looked at each other.
Chen Jing winked.
The boss suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Fenrir who was licking candy not far away, with an expression that every man could understand.
"You know nothing," Chen Jing muttered to himself. A moment later, the boss gestured to someone nearby, and a group of people immediately surrounded Fenrir, using all their strength to hold her back. Then, the boss gestured for her to come in.
Chen Jing didn't know what was going on, but that didn't stop him from pretending to know: "Let's go, let's go."
