Chapter 685: The Luck is a Bit Ridiculous

Across the sea, Meng Xichao felt the murderous intent coming from nowhere.

He looked around and rubbed his arms, feeling goose bumps forming on them.

"What's wrong?" Master looked at Meng Xichao.

"Nothing." Meng Xichao looked away: "I felt like Zhihuan was scolding me."

"You..." Master shook his head helplessly, "It's because you usually act too unreliable that Zhihua is so worried about you."

"Although I may look unreliable, my ability to get things done is still reliable, okay?" Meng Xichao crossed his arms across his chest: "I am Zhihuan's most trustworthy brother!"

"Heh." Master laughed and shook his head. "You two siblings really don't look at all like Old Meng. Your sister does look a bit like your mother, but what about you? Who do you look like?"

"Me? Who knows." Meng Xichao curled his lips, his eyes full of coldness.

"Let's go, it's just ahead." The Master continued to move forward.

Meng Xichao raised his hand to push away the messy grass branches, frowned slightly and looked forward. Before he knew it, he saw a deep cave.

The Master walked over, pushed aside the hanging branches, pushed open the camouflage stone slab, and pressed the password key.

"Hasn't it been more than ten years since I came here? Is this place still usable?" Meng Xichao put his hands in front of his mouth and nose to block out the dust.

"Of course." The Master entered the password and then did the fingerprint and pupil verification. After a loud bang, a door slowly opened: "Welcome to my first base."

A small stone slid down the hillside and landed on the Master's head.

"It hurts." The Master raised his head and looked at the mountain, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"It seems that the safety issues here need to be reconsidered after not being here for more than ten years." Meng Xi looked up and asked, "Should I bring someone here?"

"No, I'll arrange for someone to take charge." The Master withdrew his gaze and walked inside, his eyes slightly moving: "Maybe outsiders are not very welcome here."

"..." Meng Xichao just shrugged when he heard the voice and did not respond.

At the same time, Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the data in front of her.

"Why that expression?" someone in the same experimental group asked, puzzled. "Isn't this data excellent?"

"That's great." Kong Xiyan crossed her arms over her chest: "Isn't this a little too smooth?"

"Senior Kong, isn't it good that everything goes smoothly?" Everyone looked at Kong Xiyan in confusion.

Is this genius? Thoughts are always so unique...

Do you feel that it is too smooth and there are no challenges?

Or do you feel that things are going too smoothly and your talents can’t be fully displayed?

That’s not right. Isn’t it because of Senior Sister Kong’s extraordinary talent that things can go so smoothly?

They really can't understand the thinking of genius.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that." Kong Xiyan never liked to go against herself. She waved her hand and asked everyone to continue with the next step. She took her coat and walked out: "I'm going to eat first. I have to go to the cultural relics restoration department in the afternoon. Call me anytime if you need anything."

"Okay~" Everyone waved and watched Kong Xiyan leave, and only after she left did they start to discuss in low voices.

"Senior Kong is amazing! She finished a week's worth of work in just one morning!"

"It's more than just a week. If it weren't for Senior Sister Kong, we might have been stuck at this step for a month."

"But why do I feel like Senior Kong doesn't seem very happy?"

"I also……"

Everyone couldn't figure it out, so they decided not to think about it anymore.

After all, they are not the kind of people who like to make things difficult for themselves.

If you have that much time, you might as well study the experimental subjects more and strive to publish an SCI paper as soon as possible.

Otherwise it would be a waste of such a good project and such a great senior sister Kong.

When everyone was ready to go and full of confidence, Kong Xiyan arrived at the cafeteria and saw Zhong Yangyang and Kong Zhishan waiting for her, as well as Mo Ya with red eyes.

Kong Xiyan gave a dry laugh. It seemed that this little girl had been badly beaten.

But since he can still walk independently, Shanshan did show mercy.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner." Kong Xiyan waved her hand.

"Sister, I heard the new set meal on the third floor of the cafeteria is very delicious, but because there are so many people eating, it's very hard to get a table." Zhong Yangyang took Kong Xiyan's arm, glanced at the time on his watch and said, "We're a little late. I guess we're going to have to work hard today. I'd better go buy some mixed noodles."

"I also heard people in the lab talking about that set meal today. I heard it's very filling and tastes good." Kong Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "I'll have that one."

"The probability of being able to buy it is not high." Kong Zhishan had also heard of that set meal. It was indeed very popular, but she had only heard people mention it.

"The last one." The lady at the cafeteria stall handed the set meal to Kong Xiyan and said with a smile, "You're really lucky. They were sold out twenty minutes ago. I saved this one for my daughter, but she couldn't come at the last minute."

"Thank you~" Kong Xiyan thanked him, took the meal tray to her seat and said with a smile: "I've been really lucky recently."

"I really bought it." Zhong Yangyang was a little surprised and distributed the drinks to everyone. "Come earlier next time. I want to try it too."

"Yeah." Kong Zhishan took a look and it seemed quite good.

"Moya wants to eat this." Moya pointed to her plate and said, "I'll trade you the meatballs."

"Okay." Kong Xiyan unscrewed the cap of the drink bottle: "Huh? Another one?"

"Sister, you've been really lucky lately." Zhong Yangyang came over and looked at the bottle cap in Kong Xiyan's hand and said, "The chance of winning this drink is quite low."

"Really?" Kong Xiyan didn't often drink bottled drinks, so she wasn't familiar with the situation. "Let's eat first."

"Yeah." Several people talked about the little things about winning the lottery while eating.

"Oh right," Zhong Yangyang said as if remembering something, "Xiaoyong told me he won a trip to the North Pole, and he's already there."

"You still have to be careful about this." The corners of Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched, and she was too lazy to say anything to that guy.

But...

Kong Xiyan looked at the bottle cap placed aside. Her luck was really a bit outrageous.

What happened?

After finishing her meal, Kong Xiyan finished her bottled drink, exchanged the cap for another one, and unscrewed it: "Huh? I won another prize."

Zhong Yangyang looked at the bottle cap in Kong Xiyan's hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "Sister, do you want to buy a lottery ticket?"

It feels like I could win the jackpot.

"Forget it, let's leave the bonus to those who need it." Kong Xiyan smiled and shook her head, screwed the bottle cap on, and walked away with Zhong Yangyang and others, chatting and laughing.

On the other side, Master rubbed his sore forehead and took a deep breath.

Even if he hadn't been here for more than ten years, he wouldn't have forgotten the layout of this place so completely. He'd bumped into it twice in just a moment.

Tsk.
