29 Iceberg Snowfield-Day 11
◎Meeting with netizens◎
A hidden corner.
A man with a build like King Kong scowled at the sweet-looking female player across from him with dissatisfaction. "Vice President Jiang, why are we hiding so humiliated? Let's just go out and fight! With my title as the number one in the martial arts tournament, how can I be afraid of them?"
Zhang Shiyi and Wang Shier, his henchmen standing to his left and back, immediately chimed in, "Exactly. Our President Jin is a fighting champion and a master of martial arts. Now's the time to show some authority to those little minions."
The boy with the bowl-cut hair next to him wanted to speak up for the female player, but his face turned red and he stammered for a long time without uttering a word.
Jiang Tiantian glanced at the scene calmly, and couldn't help rolling her eyes countless times in her heart. A group of brainless ruffians, plus a coward who was somewhat useful but had no courage. Such a large team relied on her, a woman, to give advice and suggestions. If she didn't need the protection of a team, she would have run away long ago.
Although he was complaining to death in his heart, his face remained gentle as water, and he pretended to be mysterious and guided: "What do you think of our Jinda Gang's existence in the H-38 area?"
Jin Buwei patted his bulging chest muscles and said, "Of course it's the number one gang!"
Jiang Tiantian's mouth twitched, but she didn't refute: "When the Sand People occupied the convenience store and shot and injured people, should we help or not?"
Jin Buwei said confidently, "If he dared to occupy the convenience store and steal supplies, he would be my enemy, Jin Buwei, and of course he cannot be forgiven. As for shooting and injuring people, that has nothing to do with me~"
Zhang Shiyi: "That's right. Our President Jin is extremely powerful. Dealing with that withered old man is as easy as crushing an ant."
This flattery really touched Jin Buwei's heart, and he proudly raised his neck to accept his subordinate's worship.
Jiang Tiantian closed her eyes, unable to bear the sight.
He opened his eyes again, his smile returning to normal. "Of course, President Jin's strength is undeniable. But if we get involved, we'll make enemies. Both the Sand People and Yan Lan are capable, and it wouldn't be a good idea to make enemies with either of them. It's better to let them fight each other, and we'll reap the benefits."
"More importantly, one of them has guns, and the other has bows with special attributes. Our weapons are far inferior to theirs, so we probably won't get any benefits if we go there."
Jin Buwei thought for a moment and felt that what Jiang Tiantian said was correct. Although he had overwhelming strength, his weapons were indeed a weakness. It would be great if he could gain an advantage without any effort. He nodded repeatedly, "Well, the vice president is very thoughtful."
Zhang Shiyi: "The vice president is indeed worthy of being the think tank of our Jinda Gang."
Wang Twelve also praised him: "Vice President Jiang is awesome."
"It's not all my credit. Our president knows how to appoint the right people, has a unique vision, and is very discerning. Without him, I wouldn't be here."
Seeing Jin Buwei immersed in the praise, Jiang Tiantian went along with it.
"It's just that Tiantian helped the Jin Gang avoid a lot of trouble this time. I wonder what reward President Jin gave her?"
Jin Buwei was so overwhelmed by the praise that he raised his hand and said, "You are a hero today, just tell me what you want!"
Jiang Tiantian blurted out: "Then I want the Light Shield."
"What?"
Not only was Jin Buwei not happy, but even the lackeys behind him looked unhappy.
This Light Shield was dropped by the boss when he killed a monster. It can be transformed into a shield and save lives at a critical moment. Everyone in the gang wanted this treasure, and they were unwilling to give it to Jiang Tiantian. Isn't it just to keep them from getting involved? It's worth such a precious reward!
Jiang Tiantian took a quick look and suddenly lowered her head and sobbed, "The brothers are all strong men who can protect themselves, but Tiantian is the only weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. In this cannibalistic game world, she can't survive without any protection."
He raised his head and looked at the guy with the bowl-cut hair beside him, blinking pitifully. "Besides, I worked so hard to find Shengsheng. He wanted to quit the gang several times, and I tried my best to persuade him to stay. Now he has this idea again. I don't know what to do this time..."
Chen Shengsheng got the hint and finally said, "Yes, I want to quit the club."
Jin Buwei's eyelids twitched. Chen Shengsheng was the Jin Gang's money tree. Jiang Tiantian could leave, but he couldn't. Besides, he had said that he could choose any gift he wanted. Going back on his word now would only make him lose face.
Forget it, just consider it as a reward commission for Chen Shengsheng. They have also gained a lot of benefits from him.
But he still felt like a piece of flesh was being dug out of his heart. He gritted his teeth and took out a delicate small shield from the grid and handed it over: "I, Jin Buwei, keep my word. Here!"
Jiang Tiantian was very excited. She squeezed her trembling hands hard and took the shield.
"Thank you, President Jin! Your words are truly golden and your promises are worth a thousand gold."
Jin Buwei was no longer in the mood to flatter. He was inconsolable, yet he pretended to be calm and composed. "Well, everyone should learn from the vice president and do things that benefit the gang. The gang will not treat you unfairly."
Zhang Eleven and Wang Twelve echoed weakly, "We will follow the president's instructions."
Jin Buwei had no time to care about the mental state of his subordinates. He took the opportunity to whisper to Jiang Tiantian: "You must persuade Chen Shengsheng to stay this time. He can't leave!"
Jiang Tiantian said seriously, "Tiantian will definitely do her best!"
*
When Yan Lan and the others arrived at the last building, there were already quite a few players inside.
"Game City," Shi Yuanyuan yelled, "Ah! It's Game City!"
Yuan Zhou scratched his ears and said with disgust: "We can see it!"
"Oh my god, what are you waiting for? Come in now!"
Shi Yuanyuan rushed in first, and Yuan Zhou rolled his eyes.
Yan Lan shook her head, calmed the excited Snowball, and followed him in. Luo Wen looked at the plain and warm scene in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This game city is arranged like a snack street, with a long and wide aisle in the middle and various entertainment projects on both sides.
As soon as he entered, several female players rushed up and surrounded Shi Yuanyuan excitedly.
Female 1: "Yuanyuan, I finally see you in person!"
Female 2: "I didn't expect you to be so tall, maybe 180cm."
Female Three: "Haha, he's pretty handsome."
Shi Yuanyuan laughed very happily: "Haha, the sisters are also very beautiful."
Yan Lan and the other two arrived shortly after. The three female players took the opportunity to look over and asked, "Who are these people?"
Yuan Zhou crossed his arms, glanced at Shi Yuanyuan lightly, and said nothing.
Shi Yuanyuan hurriedly introduced: "This is Yan Lan, you know her. The other two are our teammates Yuan Zhou and Luo Wen."
"Ah!" The three female players covered their mouths and screamed, "Boss Yan! It's actually you!"
Their voices were very loud, and as soon as these words were spoken, everyone around looked over and sized up Yan Lan in private.
"So she is Yan Lan."
"She's so beautiful, but the photo doesn't look like her. What's wrong with the system?"
"Maybe he's deliberately trying to vilify himself. He's a big shot, so low-key!"
Yan Lan is a celebrity in the H-38 area. Everyone has bought her goods to some extent. Although they are not familiar with her enough to say hello, it does not stop them from sneaking a peek at her.
Yan Lan coughed lightly and turned around: "I'm Yan Lan, who are you?"
The three female players excitedly introduced themselves.
"Lu Zilin."
"Zhang Xiaoxiao."
"sunflower!"
Yan Lan: "So you are Lu Xiaokui."
She has been very busy at work, and there are so many players coming to buy things that she can't remember many of their names, let alone look up their profile pictures, so she can't match these people's faces.
"Yes, we are the three Lu Xiaokui sisters." The three of them stared at Yan Lan's face with love in their eyes. "I didn't expect you to be so beautiful in person."
Yan Lan gave an awkward laugh and looked towards the stalls to change the subject: "By the way, do you have any recommendations for fun things in this game city?"
The three sisters quickly surrounded her and went to the game booth.
Lu Zilin: "There are nearly 50 stalls here, including games, shooting games, claw machines, and ring tossing games. Each stall has 10 chances. You just swipe your card, and if you win, you get a prize."
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "It's just a little difficult."
Sunflower added: "We tried half of the stalls and got three pairs of socks."
Shi Yuanyuan interrupted, "When it comes to playing games, you'll have to rely on me. I'm a skilled player, and no one dares to challenge me."
Yuan Zhou rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't brag so much."
Shi Yuanyuan was not convinced: "Then let's have a competition later."
Yuan Zhou: "Let's compete, who's afraid of who?"
So everyone came to the first stall - ring tossing.
There were a number of supplies placed in front, and they became more valuable as you went further back. The nearest row of supplies was 5 meters away, and the farthest was 10 meters away, and the circle was almost half the size.
This is much more difficult than tossing rings in the real world. Shi Yuanyuan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this scene.
Yuan Zhou sneered: "Humph, scared?"
Shi Yuanyuan feigned calmness: "Nonsense, let's start the competition."
The two of them took out their passes and swiped them. The machine spit out 10 small rings. The two of them were so eager to win that they competed fiercely.
He had good accuracy in both shots and hit 5 of each.
Shi Yuanyuan looked at Yuan Zhou with admiration: "I didn't expect you to be so capable."
Yuan Zhou swallowed his words of disparagement and said uncomfortably, "You're not bad either."
Luo Wen didn't like it and since he wasn't good at it, he gave it all to Shi Yuanyuan, and Shi Yuanyuan gave her everything he got.
Finally, it was Yan Lan's turn. The crowd of onlookers had obviously increased, and their gazes were particularly intense.
Yan Lan strolled leisurely in the garden, taking out 20 rings as if no one was around.
“Chirp~”
Snowball on his shoulder cried out in protest.
"You want to play too?"
“Chirp~”
"Wow, so cute! If I had known, I would have given you all my circles." Yuan Zhou couldn't help but want to move it again.
Snowball was prepared this time and flew to Yan Lan's other shoulder one step ahead.
Yan Lan looked at it lovingly and said, "These 10 are originally yours, go and play with them."
Snowball took the 10 rings she handed him and jumped up and down in the air excitedly.
The players around have been curious about this snow-white little ball for a long time. They guessed that it must be a powerful monster and couldn't wait to see its strength.
But the result was very disappointing.
He doesn't know how to play snowballs at all. He throws the balls in circles all over the place and none of them even touch the side.
The players sighed.
"That's it?"
"Oh, let's go."
"That's all your strength!"
After throwing Snowball carefully but randomly, he flew into Yan Lan's arms with a droopy face and arched his back for comfort.
Yan Lan took advantage of the situation and hugged and moved its soft belly, suppressing her laughter: "It's okay, I'll win it back for you."
"Chirp~" Snowball danced his paws and quickly recovered his spirit.
Put the snowball back on your shoulder, hold the hoop and start to cast.
She stood firmly, looking straight ahead.
The circle is thrown in a parabola, with the shortest distance being 5 meters and the longest being 10 meters. It weighs 50 grams and has a g-acceleration. According to the principle of horizontal projectile motion, its initial velocity should be...
"What's the matter with her? Why isn't she moving?"
"Is it worth thinking about for so long? Just throw it away."
"that is."
Yan Lan suddenly made a move, waving her hand and throwing out a circle.
First row, a box of Oreo cookies, winner!
"Wow! We got it!" Shi Yuanyuan and the others exclaimed.
The first player to start complaining had a stiff expression: "It's probably just a coincidence, isn't this just the first row?"
Second row, a pair of socks, middle!
Third row, blue four-piece suit, middle!
Fourth row, one rice cooker, middle!
…
Tenth row, one automatic cleaning card, hit!
The crowd's cheers grew louder and louder, until they finally fell silent, and everyone stared at the goddess in front of the stall.
“Chirp~”
After the last circle was thrown, Snowball shouted happily.
Everyone immediately came to their senses and offered congratulations.
"That's awesome, Boss Yan!"
"Never misses a shot, absolutely amazing!"
As the next few games came, more and more people gathered to watch, and she obtained more and more supplies.
The three sisters Lu Xiaokui who led the way were already exhausted. They said the task was difficult, but they worked for a long time and only got three pairs of socks.
Someone got 10 items in one game, and each one is extremely precious.
Shame on you, really shame on you.
Snowball felt a bit dazed. Instead of nestling on Yan Lan's shoulder, he stood atop her head with his hands clasped in his paws. No one could ignore this flamboyant snowball as soon as they saw Yan Lan. He accepted everyone's admiration and praise with a clear conscience.
Yan Lan picked out three items from a pile of supplies and gave them to the three sisters: "Thank you for taking us shopping today."
The three of them were a little overwhelmed and waved their hands repeatedly: "What kind of tour is this! You can do it without us."
Yan Lan: "This isn't worth much, and I already have a few of the same kind. There's no point in keeping it."
The three sisters looked at each other: "This..."
Shi Yuanyuan extended his hand appropriately: "You don't want it? Then give it to me. I don't think it's too much."
The three sisters quickly accepted it: "Haha, take it."
Yan Lan: "It's past 5 o'clock. We are going to eat. What are your plans?"
"We need to go to the convenience store first. If we go too late, they might sell out."
After saying goodbye to the three Lu Xiaokui sisters, the four of them and the elf walked towards the restaurant again.
The restaurant was already open, and it was bustling with people inside. It was filled with players, each holding a large plate of food. The air was filled with the aroma of food, making these players, who hadn't eaten normal food for a long time, salivate.
Shi Yuanyuan looked around and swallowed silently: "The entrance is closed at 5 o'clock, it seems that there are still many players coming in!"
Yuan Zhou looked around and nodded in agreement: "It's quite a lot."
Yan Lan was concerned about something else: "Let's go and see what the restaurant's rules are."
Luo Wen, who had been following quietly, whispered, "No need. I've already checked in the group chat. The restaurant is a buffet, with three dishes, a soup, a piece of fruit, and a small snack."
Shi Yuanyuan clapped his hands excitedly: "Such a rich feast, and it's free, hehe!"
Luo Wen nodded: "Yes, just swipe the pass."
Shi Yuanyuan rushed ahead, Yan Lan followed with an anxious Snowball, and Yuan Zhou walked at the end intimately holding Luo Wen's hand.
The team walked towards the long row of self-service windows.
The restaurant is a bit like a university cafeteria, but without the waitresses serving food, you have to pick it up yourself. The food is served on small plates and looks incredibly delicious under the soft lighting.
There were many food selection windows and a wide variety of food. It was difficult to choose the three dishes and one soup that one wanted from these hundreds of ingredients. It took several people a long time to choose the dishes.
Just as I swiped my card and was about to choose a seat to sit down, I heard an argument in front of me.
"Give me."
"Everyone has one, why should I give you mine?"
"Why? With my fist!"
Several people looked at each other, speechless. These words sounded very familiar, as if they had heard them not long ago.
Perhaps because they failed to reach an agreement on the debate, they started to fight over the items, and the sound of crackling could be heard everywhere.
"Oh, damn it, my soup is spilled!"
"You are a bunch of shameless bandits!"
"You wasted food, God bless you!"
Despite the chaos, the few people who were surrounded in the middle still managed to squeeze out while protecting their plates. Their hair was messed up, but the plates in their arms were intact.
Seeing Yan Lan and the others' eyes light up, they hurriedly ran behind her.
"Boss Yan, they stole my food!"
"I spilled all my broth."
"You must help us decide!"
Yan Lan rubbed her temples and felt a little headache. Which unfamiliar player was trying to get close to her?
The robber turned around and saw that it was the fat man and his gang whom he met in the afternoon, but this time their leader, Sandman, was not there.
When the fat man saw Yan Lan, he snorted coldly and walked over with a few of his men.
"You again, want to meddle in other people's business?"
Yan Lan sneered: "If I say no, will you let me go?"
Not helping? The players hiding behind her were stunned for a moment, staring at her back cautiously, their feet unconsciously about to step back.
The fat man narrowed his drooping eyelids and looked at Yan Lan opposite him with ill intentions: "Haha - of course not, just because my boss is afraid of you doesn't mean I will be afraid of you!"
Yan Lan twitched the corner of her mouth slightly: "Then why waste time talking? Just hit me."
She was right. The fat man wanted to fight her to the death in the convenience store. How could he let her go with such a good opportunity?
The fat man's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand and commanded, "It seems you don't want to accept my toast. Brothers, go!"
Yan Lan immediately reached out to stop him: "Wait!"
The fat man frowned and said, "What's the matter? If you are scared, kneel down and kowtow to me."
Yan Lan said calmly, "Of course not. I'm afraid that beating you will dirty my food."
"you!"
The fat man was so angry that steam was coming out of his nostrils, but he still asked her to put down the plate in her hand. After all, the food would eventually end up in his hands, and it couldn't be wasted.
The four of them placed their plates on the table nearby and were about to go forward to fight, but Yan Lan suddenly pulled Luo Wen back: "Luo Wen, you don't have to go."
Luo Wen lowered his head, a little overwhelmed: "Do you think I'm holding you back? Although I'm not very strong, I won't retreat."
Yan Lan shook her head: "No, it's not safe to leave our plates here. Someone needs to watch over them. Food is very important to us!"
Luo Wen looked around and saw that many people were greedily eyeing the abundant food, hoping to steal it during the chaos. This was the team's logistical support, and she had to take good care of it for everyone.
"Well, I'll wait for you here, be careful."
Yan Lan brought Yuan Zhou and Shi Yuanyuan back to the scene. The fat man opposite saw that there was one person missing and burst into hoarse laughter.
Shi Yuanyuan couldn't stand the unpleasant duck voice any more, so he raised his middle finger to the fat man and said, "Hey, can you hurry up? You're delaying my meal."
The fat man suddenly became furious, shouted coldly and rushed forward.
There were 5 people on the other side and 3 on Yan Lan's side. This time they did not use any weapons, only relying on their bare hands and fists.
After being cleansed in cold springs and practicing continuously, Yan Lan's physical fitness has reached 95 in terms of strength and speed.
Yuan Zhou had been in the team before, so dealing with these ruffians was naturally no problem for him.
Although Shi Yuanyuan was a playboy before, he learned and practiced everything he should learn and practice.
In this battle, Yan Lan could judge the outcome just by thinking with her feet.
In less than a minute, the fat man and his brothers were beaten to the ground and knelt down begging for mercy.
"Sister Yan, please let us go. I was forced to do this."
"Yeah, actually I didn't want to come either."
Shi Yuanyuan kicked the person who spoke hard: "Who are you calling big sister?"
"Boss Yan, it's Boss Yan, Boss, please be kind and let us go."
Amidst the crowd's begging for mercy, the fat man lowered his head to hide the gloomy expression on his face.
He lost, he actually lost! How could this be possible? How could he lose to a young woman?
He couldn't just let it go like this. He would definitely make Yan Lan pay the price.
The palm hidden behind his back flipped slightly, and a sharp knife appeared in his palm.
Let you be proud, then go to hell!
"Yan Lan, be careful!"
Yan Lan's ears twitched, and she only felt a flash of silver light in her peripheral vision. She reflexively spun around to avoid danger.
The first attack failed and the silver light stabbed again.
Yan Lan saw it clearly this time. It was an exquisite sharp knife with a green blade, as if it had been poisoned.
Her eyes darkened and she treated it carefully.
The other party was armed and pressing forward step by step. She couldn't take out her bow and arrow at this moment. She didn't dare to get close and could only deal with him carefully.
When the stab came again, Yan Lan met it head-on.
The fat man showed a bloodthirsty smile, as if there was a corpse in front of him.
Yan Lan chuckled, then suddenly changed her body shape and jumped to the other side. With a light spin, she kicked the sharp knife out of the fat man's hand.
The sharp knife flew into the air, and before it landed, she pointed her toes, reversed her right foot and kicked, and the sharp knife changed direction and stabbed straight into the fat man's palm.
“Ahhhh!”
His palm was pierced, and the flesh was immediately turned over and blood gushed out. The fat man screamed heartbreakingly with trembling hands.
His ending had a deterrent effect. The others trembled in fear and suppressed all the conflicts in their hearts.
Yan Lan didn't kill him in the end. She just said coldly, "Get lost."
Shi Yuanyuan and Yuan Zhou also let go of the players under their feet. The players immediately stood up after receiving the pardon and were about to retreat tremblingly. After taking a few steps, they found that the fat man was still there, so they turned back.
Yan Lan cast an impatient look at them, and they immediately carried the fat man, covered his screaming mouth, and ran away with their heads bowed.
The troublesome guys were cleared away, the restaurant regained its vitality, and the players discussed in low voices.
Yan Lan walked up to Luo Wen and said, "Thank you for reminding me just now."
Luo Wen still spoke softly, but his eyes were more lively: "I...this is what I should do."
Shi Yuanyuan and Yuan Zhou followed, "Thanks to your carefulness, otherwise we wouldn't have noticed the fat man's little trick."
Luo Wen seemed unused to being praised, his eyes wandering around, not knowing who to look at.
Yan Lan said: "Okay, let's start eating."
When it comes to eating, Shi Yuanyuan has a lot of complaints: "I'm starving. It's all that fat guy's fault. He made me eat so late."
This dinner was the first time for the four friends to have a meal together. As the food was plentiful and free, everyone enjoyed it very much.
After dinner, they took a walk back to the parking lot. The RVs were parked in one place, making communication convenient.
Yan Lan returned to the car, locked the door, and looked back to see Snowball shaking his head and about to fly into the bedroom.
Knowing its character well, Yan Lan immediately stopped it, "Snowball, you're so dirty and you can't lie on the bed without a shower!"
Snowball stayed in the air for a while, and then he lazily picked up a basin and flew towards the sink.
"Squeak--" Snowball was sleepy and didn't notice anything in the pool at all. When he turned on the faucet, he was almost frightened by the splashing water.
"What's wrong?"
Worried about its safety, Yan Lan hurried over and took a look inside. The Australian lobster she had exchanged from Sunflower in the morning had not been cooked yet. There was free food at the supply station, so she put it in the compartment of her backpack for the time being.
Seeing that the trouble was solved, Snowball returned to his sleepy state, staggering and squinting his eyes as he released the water.
Yan Lan shook her head and went to the balcony.
I bought 5 potted plants at a convenience store today, including green onions, garlic, lantern peppers, pea sprouts and cherry tomatoes. I dug them all up and planted them in pots.
In addition to the small potted plants, she also collected all the fruit seeds for today's meal, but the types were a bit limited, including grapes, watermelons, and kiwis.
The fast-growing flowerpots are already full, and there is no room to plant any more fruit trees. We can only wait until the flowerpots are expanded again.
She put the seeds away and returned to the room. Snowball was already sleeping soundly in the pot, lying crookedly in the water.
She took a dry towel, wiped it clean, and hung it on the balcony to blow in the wind.
When she came out of the shower, Snowball's white fur had been dried. She gently held it in her hands and returned to the bedroom.
The body and mind are released and you can have a good night's sleep.
