Chapter 135 The Law of Light, Deep Thoughts
Chapter 135 The Law of Light, Deep Thoughts (3000 Subscriptions Requested)
There is no fighting on the front line.
There is no distinction between sun and moon on the continent of Military Station No. 073, and the difference between day and night is controlled by the War Preparation Palace.
At the Cat Beauty Hotel, Xu Yang walked out of the hotel entrance. The sunset glowed brightly, like broken gold, bathing him in warmth.
"Well, it's our turn for the sun to come out."
I looked up and squinted my eyes, and saw a light spot in the sky. At this moment, my younger brother Jie Suo also came out of the Cat Beauty Hotel in a hurry.
"Let's go and find a restaurant to sit down. We've been staying in this hotel for almost a week and are bored." Xu Yang nodded and motioned Jie Suo to lead the way. This guy has been in this No. 073 Military Station Continent for almost ten epochs and is much more familiar with it than Xu Yang.
"Okay, I know a place nearby that serves delicious Siren Sashimi."
Jiesuo's eyes narrowed as he smiled. It was different from Xu Yang. Xu Yang had been fighting and collecting resources to break through realms since he came to this world, and he rarely had time to rest. But it was basically a three-day-fishing-two-day-drying-the-net state. When there were resources, it would work hard to cultivate, and when there were no resources, it would live a tight life. It had no idea how to manage money.
It has quite a bit of experience with these trivial matters in life.
The two monsters soon arrived at the restaurant that Jiesuo had mentioned. This restaurant was located on a remote street, with strings of colorful crystal bead curtains hanging at the door. Through the curtains, you could see that the decoration inside was very elegant, with portraits of various marine monsters hanging on the walls, and the air was filled with the faint smell of sea water and the aroma of food.
Xu Yang's nostrils twitched slightly, looking quite satisfied.
He has been staying in the hotel for most of the week to comprehend the laws. After several days of attempts, he finally crossed the threshold of the Law of Light through his own efforts. This is the first time that Xu Yang has achieved a breakthrough from zero entirely by his own ability without relying on the system.
In excitement, he called Jie Suo out for a big meal to reward himself.
Jiesuo led Xu Yang in with familiarity and found a seat by the window. An octopus waiter with eight tentacles soon came over with a menu, and Jiesuo enthusiastically recommended several signature dishes to Xu Yang, including fresh sea urchin sashimi, grilled shark fins, and seafood soup stewed with special spices.
A good mood brings a good appetite. Xu Yang looked at the pictures on the menu and couldn't help but salivate. Although he had been fighting and practicing, his pursuit of delicious food had never diminished. Whether it was the pursuit of immortality or the scenery at a higher altitude, one had to find an anchor point and a preference for oneself. If one simply ignored the scenery around him in order to become stronger, then one would completely lose the fun of becoming stronger.
He ordered the dishes according to Jiesuo's recommendations, and then leisurely drank the drinks brought by the octopus waiter.
"Hmm, not bad, with a slight smell of the sea, but also a very refreshing sweetness." Xu Yang commented while biting a special straw.
Jiesuo was also holding a cup of the same drink and took a sip. "The ingredients here are all transported from the rear. It is said that the owner of this restaurant has cultivated hundreds of life planets in the rear, and all the plants and creatures grown and raised on them are all kinds of novel marine species. Every ten thousand years, the menu of this restaurant will be greatly updated."
As he spoke, Jiesuo glanced at the countdown on the wall and smiled at Xu Yang, "Senior, look, there are still 2867 years left, and this restaurant will have to update its menu again."
Following Jiesuo's line of sight, there was indeed a countdown.
"It's quite interesting." Xu Yang praised it, and then sighed in his heart, "It's a pity that I probably won't be able to eat the next menu."
Two thousand years? Xu Yang didn't want to stay in this prison for another two thousand years.
Soon, the dishes they ordered were served one after another. The sea siren sashimi was brightly colored, tender and melt-in-the-mouth, with a hint of the ocean's flavor; the grilled shark's fin was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant aroma; and the seafood soup was rich and delicious, leaving him with an endless aftertaste.
While enjoying the food, Xu Yang chatted with Jiesuo.
It was also the first time that he knew that there was actually a clan behind Jiesuo, a group of indigenous demon wolves located in the territory of "Jero Star" in the rear, and Jiesuo was the ancestor of this group of demon wolves.
As he was talking, Jiesuo just let go completely, and said to Xu Yang with a wry smile: "Senior, you don't know that in the clan, I am the high and mighty ancestor, and countless descendants worship me and regard me as a god. But I know my own business well. On the native planet, my strength as a domain lord is indeed enough to dominate Xiaoyao. If I were put on 'Jero Star', I would be able to live well with my strength if I keep a low profile."
Xu Yang didn't say anything. Except for himself, which domain lord or world lord was not an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, and who didn't have some story.
Seeing that Xu Yang was listening, Jie Suo continued, "Do you know when I lost this eye? Why didn't I repair it?"
For a domain lord-level strongman, losing an eye is not a big deal, and it can be restored with a little bit of effort. But Jie Suo is unwilling to restore it, there must be some hidden reason.
Sure enough, before Xu Yang could reply, Jie Suo spoke out, "That was about 100,000 years ago. At that time, I had just broken through to the Domain Lord level and was full of ambition. As a result, I had a conflict with a cosmic-level ninth-order snake demon on the Jello star. To be honest, the snake demon was not wrong. It was me who was too arrogant at that time..."
Having said that, Jiesuo took a big sip of his drink, his tone revealing a hint of humiliation and regret.
"I didn't expect that snake demon had a powerful background. I was captured just after I left Jello Star Port. Haha, the snake demon didn't kill me, but ordered its domain lord's subordinates to blind my eye and warned me that if I dared to restore it without permission, it would destroy my tribe." Jiesuo's already gray hair turned even paler, and the only intact wolf eye also revealed a trace of sadness. "I know that the reason why it didn't kill me but only blinded one of my eyes was to let this blind eye remind me all the time not to dare to mess with any demon if I'm blind."
Xu Yang felt a little sympathetic towards this little brother he had just recruited, but he was very clear-headed. Jiesuo was a very shrewd and pragmatic demon, as evidenced by the fact that he came to him to be his backer as soon as the battle to break the wall was over. There must be true feelings in Jiesuo's words, there is no doubt about that, but was Jiesuo simply sharing his sad past?
Not necessarily. It is more likely that he wants to gain more sympathy and even more benefits from Xu Yang by virtue of being a fellow wolf.
However, all of this was Xu Yang's own analysis, and he couldn't explain it to Jie Suo honestly. Instead, he asked with sympathy: "What about now? Did the snake demon still not let you go?"
The sadness in Jiesuo's one eye remained unchanged, and he spoke woodenly, "No, I don't dare to go back to my family until now. I can only deposit some money into the family account every once in a while. The snake demon said that either I die or I become the master of the world, and then this debt will be written off."
Xu Yang sighed in his heart. It seemed that this world-snake had offended others seriously in the past. He didn't know what had happened to that cosmic-level snake demon.
"Senior, I'm so sorry to disturb you." Jiesuo seemed to have just come to his senses, and a look of extremely sincere apology appeared on his pale wolf face.
"It's okay, just tell it to make you feel more relaxed. I'm almost done eating too." Xu Yang said softly. It was indeed a bit disgusting to listen to others telling sad stories while eating, but he couldn't really nod seriously and say 'Yes, you've ruined my appetite'.
In the following time, the two monsters ate the food in front of them obediently and no one spoke.
In this quiet environment, Xu Yang vaguely heard some monsters whispering and talking.
He turned his head slightly to take a look and saw a two-headed dragon wearing official military armor talking quietly with his companions. Unconsciously, Xu Yang's world power surged into his ears, and his hearing improved significantly.
"...Has your squadron received any reinforcements recently? Our squadron received 40 new Domain Lords yesterday."
"How is that possible? How come the troops are replenished so quickly this time? Are we going to fight again?"
"Who knows? But the squadron leader said that we will have a whole day off today. I guess it's about right."
"Fuck, our squadron is the same. I was wondering why they are so generous this time. Turns out they want us to fight to the death!"
The two-headed dragon and a blue-haired lion were talking in a low voice, and then they started talking about where to go to have fun after dinner.
Putting the last piece of fish sashimi into his mouth, Xu Yang seemed to be thinking about something.
He had not been in a hurry before, because the old hand at the No. 073 military station in Jiesuo told him that there would be at least a one-month truce after a war. However, the whispered conversation between the two domain lord soldiers of the official army just now indicated that there would be a war in the near future.
Looking up at Jiesuo who was still struggling with the food on the plate, Jiesuo had no reason to lie to himself. The only explanation was that this time was a bit abnormal and violated the rules that Jiesuo had summarized in the past.
It seems that I have to take action too. I still have assets worth 073 trillion and a Class B exchange order for the No. Arms Depot. These assets are just numbers and symbols in my hands. They must be exchanged for useful resources to turn into real combat power.
When he thought of this, Xu Yang no longer had the mood to continue leisurely. After Jiesuo finished eating, he asked, "Jiesuo, do you know where to use the Armory Exchange Order?"
"I know." After cleaning the oil stains on his mouth and claws, Jiesuo quickly said, "Senior, are you going to exchange it? I'll lead the way for you."
"Ah."
……
After a while, Xu Yang followed Jiesuo out of the seafood restaurant. The main point here is the cost performance. A sumptuous seafood meal only costs more than 100 million Guardian Crystals. No wonder Jiesuo, a Domain Lord, can often come here to eat.
"Senior, come this way." With Xu Yang by his side, Jie Suo was no longer willing to walk honestly on the street, and he suddenly took off into the air.
Originally, some monsters on the street were looking at the Realm Lord and were preparing to teach it a lesson, but then they saw Xu Yang flying up with it and immediately stopped.
There is no way around it, the powerful world masters have this privilege.
