Before the celebratory champagne bubbles have dissipated, new challenges are coming down on us.
Azir invited Ye Ling to participate in an important sacrificial ceremony, saying that it would enhance the friendship between the two planets.
Ye Ling naturally went there happily, but who knew that the friendship would capsize in an instant.
The sacrificial site was magnificent and filled with a strange yet inexplicably exciting sense of ritual.
The aesthetic taste of aliens is indeed different from that of earthlings. Ye Ling was complaining madly in her heart, but she maintained a decent smile on the surface.
During the sacrifice, Azir handed Ye Ling a fruit with a strange fragrance, saying it was a holy fruit that would make all wishes come true after eating it.
Ye Ling looked at the fruit of strange color and hesitated for a second.
Duan Yu stood behind her and coughed lightly. Ye Ling understood immediately that this was a test of friendship and she had to eat it whether she wanted to or not!
Ye Ling took the holy fruit, and according to the Azir teachings, she bowed three times devoutly to the altar, and then took a bite - then, she heard a sound of people gasping for air all around her.
Azir's expression instantly became weirder than the holy fruit, and the alien people around him began to whisper like a group of frightened bees.
"It's over, Barbie Q is gone." Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat, as if she had stepped on a landmine.
It turns out that this sacred fruit must be bitten from the bottom; biting it from the top is disrespectful!
Ye Ling wanted to slap herself in the face. If she had known earlier, she should have asked Duan Yu first. He must know!
The enormous pressure was like a mountain pressing down on Ye Ling, and she felt like she was about to suffocate.
But she quickly calmed down and thought, "Just kidding, I'm a seasoned mecha warrior, this little scene is nothing!"
"Dear Mr. Azir, dear alien friends," Ye Ling said loudly. She explained calmly that in Earth culture, eating fruit from the top represents respect and cherishment for food. This was definitely an unintentional act.
To express her apology, she proposed to dedicate the Earth's specialty, the collectible Moutai, to their gods, and demonstrated on the spot how to make cocktails with Moutai, which she called "Planet Friendship."
The rich aroma of wine filled the air, and the alien people's curiosity overcame their dissatisfaction. Their attitude gradually softened, and they even began to be eager to try it.
Azir looked at Ye Ling with complicated eyes...
He slowly spoke: "Ms. Ye Ling..." Azir looked at Ye Ling with a complicated look...
He spoke slowly, "Miss Ye Ling, you truly...open my eyes. It seems Earth's culture is even more...hmm, interesting than I imagined." He paused, a barely perceptible smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "To show our respect for Earth's culture, I've decided to take you to visit some...special places."
A special place?
Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat. Could this be a trap?
But she remained calm and politely expressed her gratitude.
At the same time, in a monitoring room not far from the sacrificial site, Duan Yu was observing Ye Ling's every move through video.
Seeing Ye Ling resolve the crisis, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. This girl is really capable.
But when he heard Azir invite Ye Ling to visit a "special place", his brows furrowed again, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
What is this old fox up to?
Azir brought Ye Ling to a heavily guarded place, which was full of high-tech futuristic feeling. Ye Ling was dazzled by all kinds of strange devices.
While Azir was explaining, he observed Ye Ling's reaction calmly.
Ye Ling pretended to listen attentively, but in fact she secretly turned on the scanning function of the mecha to collect information about the surroundings.
"This is our latest energy conversion device, which can convert the dark energy of the universe into usable energy." Azir pointed to a huge spherical device with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Wow, this is so impressive!" Ye Ling exclaimed in agreement, but she was actually complaining in her heart: Why does this thing look like a giant rice cooker?
Suddenly, Ye Ling's scanning device detected a slight abnormal energy fluctuation, which was very similar to the energy weapon used by Carl before.
Could it be...
Ye Ling's heart trembled, and she continued to follow Azir on the tour without saying a word, but her eyes became sharp.
After the visit, Azir said to Ye Ling meaningfully, "Ms. Ye Ling, I hope this visit will give you a deeper understanding of us. I hope we can reach a consensus in the upcoming trade negotiations."
Ye Ling smiled slightly: "Of course, cooperation is a win-win situation."
However, after Azir turned and left, Ye Ling immediately contacted Duan Yu: "I found something interesting..." She paused and said in a low voice, "I think we may have been tricked."
