Chapter 197 Preparation, Ranking, Shark's Meal Plan (asking for monthly tickets)
[Blue Arc: By the way, I warn you first, don't get close to my brother. ]
[Black Pupa: Got it, Comrade Electric Rat, go cook for your good brother.]
"What should I eat if you don't cook?" Gu Wenyu muttered, put away his spare phone, and turned to look out the floor-to-ceiling window.
The huge sun was slowly falling from the city's horizon, and the evening breeze brought in the sounds of children playing. He stared at the crimson sky for a while, then leaned against the headboard and closed his eyes to the fading sound of cicadas.
As for the main body, the effect of the sedative had not yet worn off, and the eyelids seemed to be stuck with tape and could not be opened. The limbs seemed to not belong to me, and were too heavy to lift.
This feeling is exactly the same as entering Makutaki's supernatural field, it's very suffocating.
The perspective of the second unit, Xia Pingzhou, was the same: it was pitch black, and he could hear faint sounds like mumbling in a dream. He didn't know if it was Ayase Origami talking to him by the bed.
Since there was no one with healing abilities around him, Xia Pingzhou probably wouldn't wake up for a while relying solely on modern medical treatments. However, this did allow Ji Minghuan to breathe a sigh of relief, as it reduced the burden on his brain in disguise.
So at this moment, the only thing left in my mind was a shark that ate and woke up to eat.
During these two days, nothing special happened to the Third Prince. After all, with Li Qingping guarding him, no assassin would dare to visit the floating castle.
Currently, Unit 3 is still in the stage of preparation for battle. All it needs to do for the rest of its time is to continue eating and eating, be a good glutton and wait for the final battle in the box garden on August 1st.
There will inevitably be a bloody storm at that time.
As he was thinking, he heard a knock on the door.
So Gu Wenyu opened his eyes, stretched out his arm, silently turned on the light in the room, and the incandescent white light tube lit up.
The "knock knock" sound paused for a while, and Gu Qiye's voice came from outside the door: "Wenyu, are you home? I'm going to prepare dinner, and you can come downstairs in half an hour."
"Yes, yes, go ahead and do it." Gu Wenyu said, "I'm just hungry."
"Okay, Xiaomai is sleeping. You can help call her later." Gu Qinye reminded.
"No problem, I promise to chase this pig away when the time comes." Gu Wenyu said calmly.
Gu Qiye, who was outside the door, heard this and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uh... don't be too rough. She looks a little tired."
Please, shouldn't I be the one who is tired? Being both a father and a mother, Gu Wenyu's eyes twitched slightly, thinking.
Although he was thinking about it, he still said verbally: "Okay, okay, if she doesn't want to eat, then I won't care about her."
"Well, don't worry about Dad. You don't need to send a message to ask him to come back. This will make the atmosphere at our dinner table better."
"How filial... You are worthy of being our Blue Arc comrade."
Gu Wenyu muttered inwardly, listened to the footsteps outside the door fading away, then slowly closed his eyes, and for the first time in a long time, synchronized his consciousness with the third machine, Yagubaru.
The time in the whale's box garden was about the same as that in Lijing, China, so it was almost night here as well.
Yagubaru opened his eyes from the crystal ball, and in front of him was the courtyard of the floating city. Two rows of maple trees stood in the blood-like twilight, and the fiery red maple leaves fluttered and fell.
Glancing sideways, Xizel and Li Qingping were practicing in the yard.
For two whole days, the two men were like possessed, practicing except for sleeping and eating. The main reason was that they could not find anything else to do. To be on the safe side, it was best to stay in the castle honestly to avoid falling into the trap set by the queen and the two princes.
"Your Highness, you have already made a breakthrough." Li Qingping suddenly said, "Now you are a C-level Oddity Envoy."
He paused. "A C-level Oddity User can bind and use up to three high-level Oddities, and the Generational Oddities are limited to two. You already have a fragment of the 'Christmas Sleigh', so you can only bind one more Generational Oddity."
Xizel let out a long sigh, lowered his eyes to look at the strange starlight flowing in his heart, then slowly raised his blue eyes and smiled at Li Qingping:
"That's great...it's faster than we thought."
"Indeed, I thought Your Highness would improve quickly, but I didn't expect it to be this fast." Li Qingping said with emotion, "It seems that it was my fault before. If I had concealed it from the king and secretly taught you some cultivation techniques, you wouldn't be in such a predicament now."
Xizel shook his head. "My health was not good before, so it was normal for my father to worry that I would be burdened too much. I understand him."
"You've broken through already? You've only been practicing for less than two days, how could it be so fast?" Yagubaru tilted his head and squinted, staring at Li Qingping close to the glass of the crystal ball, "You're not fooling the kids again, are you, Li Qingping?"
Li Qingping turned his head and looked at Little Shark: "You've been sleeping for almost a day and a night, you finally woke up?"
Xizel took a look at it and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yagubaru, I thought you were dead asleep."
"I ate too many pieces the day before yesterday and I just had indigestion. You're envious, this is the quality of a shark's sleep. You humans definitely can't sleep as long as I do."
Yagubaru pulled the corner of his mouth proudly, revealing a row of small fangs.
"Galloped shark." said Li Qingping.
"A small fish red dragon." said the little shark.
Yagubaru turned to Cesar and said, "It seems that you are making rapid progress, Cesar."
Xizel thought for a moment and said, "Well, I am considering whether I should find an opportunity to enter the Royal Court Palace and see if there is a chance to bind another generation-level wonder."
Li Qingping shook his head: "I'm afraid that's impossible. The king is unconscious, and no one has the right to enter the Royal Palace. The Royal Palace is heavily guarded. If you rush in at this time, it will give them a reason to attack you."
"That's true. Let's just forget it."
"In fact, having one Generation-level Wonder is already very powerful. Doesn't the captain of the Royal Court Team, Ruth, only have two Generation-level Wonders?" Yagubaru shook his head. "If you don't have enough ability, you make up for it with quantity. This is completely the thinking of small fry."
Li Qingping agreed: "Indeed... the amount of strange fragments is not important, but whether they fit the body."
"Yes, I'd better use the 'Christmas Sleigh' first." Cesar nodded.
Yagubaru looked at Li Qingping and suddenly asked, "I heard from Xizel that you resonated with many generational fragments of the Royal Court Palace before. Why didn't you take them all down at that time?"
"I don't think it's suitable for me," Li Qingping paused, "I'd rather say that I want to find it on my own, so that I can feel more fulfilled."
"I understand, this is the second-year syndrome." Yagubaru snorted coldly.
Li Qingping said expressionlessly: "Actually... the Phoenix piece of oddity has great potential. I have traveled in the outside world for a few years, and besides the Red Dragon Wales, the biggest gain is this Phoenix."
"But isn't it just a piece of popular anecdote?" asked Yagubaru.
Cesar also gave him a curious look.
"No, you will know later." Li Qingping shook his head, "Before that, Your Highness must take good care of the 'Phoenix Feather' I gave you."
"I know." Cesar smiled back, "I always carry the feather with me."
Li Qingping nodded.
Yagubaru thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which... Li Qingping, if I asked you to rank the members of the Royal Court team, who do you think is the strongest and who is the weakest among them?"
Li Qingping thought for a while: "First of all, Captain 'Ruth' is undoubtedly the strongest. After all, she has both 'Titanic' and 'Loch Ness Monster'. The next is 'The Sword in the Stone' Ryan and 'Tunguska Explosion' Direje. The remaining three should be about the same."
"What about the trash red dragon?" Yagubaru asked, shaking his tail. "Where does the trash red dragon rank in the royal court? Isn't it the last?"
"A small red dragon..." Li Qingping thought for a moment, "It should be about the same as the captain."
“Ah?” Yagubaru squinted his eyes, “That captain with two generations of gold can’t be better than you. Don’t flatter yourself too much, Comrade Red Dragon!”
"Why would I lie to you?" Li Qingping shrugged. "Misjudging your opponent's strength can be a matter of life and death."
Yagubaru asked in disbelief: "Oh, then do you think that if you put yourself in the standard of a superpower, can you reach the strength of a 'disaster level'?"
"Of course there is." Li Qingping said calmly, "It's just a natural disaster level, how difficult is it?"
"I don't believe it!"
Although he said this, Yagubaru still recognized Li Qingping in his heart.
After all, at the underground auction in Tokyo, even with a burdensome Second Prince, Li Qingping was able to fend off several members of the White Crow Brigade at the same time, including the best of them - "White Greedy Wolf".
At that time, if Li Qingping had not had to divert his attention to protect the second prince, the people of the White Crow Brigade might not have had a chance to break through the Red Dragon's defense even if they tried their best.
Not to mention how strong Li Qingping is when he has no burden. Even if he fails to reach the threshold of natural disaster level, he is much stronger than the ordinary quasi-natural disaster level.
It seems that Lan Duoduo is actually right. Li Qingping's "Red Dragon Wales" does stand at the pinnacle of generational wonders and is much more powerful than ordinary generational wonders.
"Li Qingping, take me to meet the people from the Royal Court team tomorrow." Xizel suddenly raised his head and interrupted Yagubaru's thoughts.
Li Qingping was stunned: "What does your highness mean?"
"Nothing..." Xizel shook his head. "I just want to talk to them before the battle. After all, I am different from my two brothers. Over the years, except for you, I have not really come into contact with other members of the Royal Court Team."
He paused and said, "It's a pity that I became their enemy for no apparent reason."
"Okay." Li Qingping was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Then I'll take you there tomorrow. Although I don't think this will change anything, they will still be loyal to the queen."
Cesar nodded silently.
"It's getting late... Let's stop here for today and take a rest." Li Qingping looked up at the sky.
"Where's today's friend fee?" Yagubaru squinted his eyes, "Pay attention to Shark Shark and don't get too carried away, Li Qingping."
Li Qingping turned around and gave it an expressionless look. Then he summoned the atlas of strange stories, took out two pieces of popular strange stories, and threw them at the crystal ball.
The little shark grinned, revealing a row of sharp teeth.
Like a dog catching a frisbee, it controlled the dark water flow and jumped out of the glass ball, pushed open the lid, grabbed the two fragments, and then fell back into the sea with a splash.
Xizel smiled slightly, walked over, picked up the glass lid on the ground, and covered the gap in the crystal ball.
"By the way, where did you get the fragments?" Yagubaru looked up at Li Qingping and asked while chewing the fragments, "Didn't you feed me all the previous ones?"
Crunchy, potato chip flavor.
It swallowed the fragment, and a dark blue and white prompt panel suddenly popped up in front of it.
[Has swallowed 2 "popular-level" oddity fragments, triggering the effect of the exclusive training system "Oddity Taotie", your real body size increases by 4 meters. ]
[Unit 3 - Eternal Shark "Akubaru" changes in size: 147m → 151m. 】
"Although I have resigned from my position, the formalities have not been completed yet." Li Qingping said, "Now with the authority of the Royal Court Team, I can still collect two popular-level oddities from the storage every day."
"You don't have to work, but you have to get paid." Yagubaru said sarcastically, "Is this Green Tea Red Dragon?"
"You gluttonous shark, you're still so aggressive even though you're given food to eat." Li Qingping said.
Yagubaru suddenly said, "On August 1st, why don't you take me to the palace's treasure house of curiosities, and I will eat all the fragments in it."
Li Qingping thought for a moment and said, "No... I'm not sure if there will be a fight. If the Queen originally wanted to let us go, then wouldn't your action cause trouble for His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"
"Bullshit!" Yagubaru shouted, "You'd better believe that Shasha is Qin Shi Huang than to believe that the queen will let us go."
"Here we go again. Where on earth did you, a shark, learn the Internet language?" Li Qingping tilted his head and asked curiously, "Are there computers in the deep sea?"
"We have a lot of culture in the Great Eternal Abyss Shark Empire." Yagubaru said, "You don't understand this, human, so do you believe that Shark is Qin Shi Huang or the Queen?"
Li Qingping stared at the indignant little shark for a while, then sighed softly.
"Okay, then on the morning of August 1st, before we leave the small garden, I will secretly take you to the Qiwen Library for a good meal." He paused, "We won't be coming back anyway."
"That's right." Yagubaru snorted coldly, "I thought you were a stubborn person. Don't let Shark look down on your intelligence, human."
Li Qingping shrugged and sat down in the yard leaning against a maple tree.
He said: "I will rest in the yard tonight. The air here is good, and if some 'guests' come, I can deal with them in advance."
"Good night, Li Qingping." After saying this, Xizel turned around and walked towards the castle with the glass ball.
"Don't forget your friend fee tomorrow."
Yagubaru turned around and looked at Li Qingping in the yard through the crystal ball while speaking.
Li Qingping did not reply, but turned his head to look at the sky which was gradually darkening, and the swimming fish carrying the fluorescent light flowed across the belly of the whale.
