Yes, I'm not someone like the boss. If you really want to deal with me, just bury me here. There's no need to arrange to deal with me in the ocean.
Liao Zhong lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Just as he lit it and before he could take a puff, a stream of energy shot out from his lower right side and cut off the fire of the cigarette.
Liao Zhong remained calm, but Bu Xin opposite him was startled.
The corporate culture of Nadutong is truly amazing.
Alas, the happy days are gone forever. Liao Zhong missed the days when Chen Duo had no time to accompany him. He even had dark circles under his eyes.
Liao Zhong chewed the sponge cigarette holder in his mouth and said calmly: "Have you read Gu Long's novel The Invisible Man? The place you want to go is an island that does not exist on any map."
"It is the garbage dump of this world. As long as any alien who has made a mistake is willing to give up his identity and never step out of the island, all countries will regard this person as dead."
Even when calculating the population red line every year, the people on the island would not be counted. However, Liao Zhong only thought about this in his mind and did not say it out loud:
"You are also relying on Shizilang's help. Otherwise, you are not worthy of negotiating with us and would be exiled to that island."
Bu Xin asked curiously: "What is the name of that island?"
"Nothingness"
······
After Shizilang turned over a new leaf and returned to the organization,
At Huang Bolun's urging, Hu Xiuwu and Wang Zhenqiu left Worm Valley on the same day and went their separate ways, one returning to the southwest and the other to southern China, without even leaving any contact information.
The main reason was that Hu Xiuwu ran fast and was not caught by Wang Zhenqiu. Wang Zhenqiu was very interested in him.
After returning to South China, Hu Xiuwu suddenly became idle. He was not a formal employee of South China. If he had not been very interested in the existence of Shizilang, Liao Zhong would have only wanted him to be a consultant at the beginning. Now that the incident was over, he naturally had no work.
Liao Zhong waved his hand, gave Chen Duo a holiday, and asked Hu Xiuwu to accompany Chen Duo to have a good time for two days.
During the last part of the summer vacation, Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo had a good time for a few days, visiting several famous scenic spots and dating spots near South China.
Although there was still no obvious expression on Chen Duo's face, Hu Xiuwu could feel that Chen Duo was very happy these days.
Occasionally, she would take Hu Xiuwu's hand and give him a sweet smile like an ordinary girl. The conversation between the two was no longer just one-sided between Hu Xiuwu and she would sometimes respond to the emotions expressed by Hu Xiuwu.
The flower finally stopped closing itself off and opened a crack for people.
Among thousands of lights, there was finally one whose warmth made her stop.
The days in South China were beautiful and sweet, so happy that Hu Xiuwu almost forgot about his elderly parents who were far away in Beijing.
But happy times are always short-lived. Just as the summer vacation was coming to an end, Hu's mother in Sijiu City was already urging Hu Xiuwu to come back.
If Hu Xiuwu's grades had not been so reassuring, his mother would have urged him to come back long ago, and he would not have been able to live so carefree until now.
No matter how reluctant he was, Hu Xiuwu still had to return to Beijing to go to school and reunite with his family.
Before leaving, the Insect Valley finally sent out the repaired Panicilla. It only took a few days to repair the magical weapon. Shizilang was indeed the most suitable person to repair the Panicilla.
Hu Xiuwu took out a brand new suit of armor from the aluminum alloy box. The armor shone brightly in the sunlight, which made Hu Xiuwu's eyes narrow involuntarily and he exclaimed:
"Ouch!"
The original climbing armor was made of the fragments of bronze sacrificial vessels from the Shang and Zhou dynasties combined with mermaid skin. The Taoists who moved mountains did not have the ability, nor did they dare to melt the fragments, for fear that improper operation would cause the remaining dragon fire on the bronze to dissipate, thus wasting the spiritual material.
But Shizilang was different. The entire set of armor was completely new and had its shape reshaped, so that its original appearance was completely unrecognizable. The mermaid skin was fused into the lining of the armor, but the runes on the bronze fragments were retained by him and even supplemented by him.
I don't know whether it was Shizilang's own aesthetic or someone under Huang Bolun gave him some advice.
After being repaired by Shizilang, the armor plates of the climbing armor were polished to be as bright as Mingguang armor. After being refined, the bronze armor plates glowed with new brilliance and shone with golden light. At first glance, the armor looked like it was made of gold.
However, the overall shape of the armor is similar to mountain chain mail. The armor plates are in the shape of a mountain and interlock with each other to form an armor, which not only ensures defense but also is more close-fitting and comfortable.
The more Hu Xiuwu looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more familiar it looked to him, especially since he had worked with Wang Zhenqiu just a few days ago.
When Hu Xiuwu thought of Wang Zhenqiu, he suddenly realized why he felt familiar with it. He said in astonishment, "How come this looks a bit like the Monkey King's golden chain mail armor?"
Liao Zhong chuckled and said, "It seems so. There was a young researcher at the Dark Fort who was an animation fan. He showed Shizilang the movie Havoc in Heaven, which inspired Shizilang."
"The mountain climbing beetle has been reborn into a magical instrument. You can give it a new name as a memorial."
Hu Xiuwu thought for a moment and said, "It was called Panshan Armor before, and now it looks like Chainmail Golden Armor. To commemorate the new life and welcome the future, I can't help but call it Panshan Chainmail Golden Armor."
"..."
No matter how nice it sounds, it can't change the fact that you are just putting two names together!
After a moment of silence, Liao Zhong said, "You have the final say over your stuff."
Then, I gently advised him: "You'd better ask someone else for help when you come up with a name in the future."
Ignoring Hu Xiuwu's stubborn explanation, Liao Zhong explained to him the function of the new mountain climbing shuttle golden armor:
"Mountain Climbing Chains... This name is too long. Shizilang removed the fine steel armor used for climbing on the wrist guards of the armor."
The Digging Armor is very useful to the Taoist monk who moves mountains, but it is not very useful to the strange man, so this superfluous thing was erased by the Lion Lang.
"The new Mountain Climbing Chain Armor has new abilities."
"Cannon!"
Chapter 216: Burning
"Shizi Lang completed the remaining runes on the bronze, and the armor automatically gained a skill - Blasting. The armor can release the power of dragon fire, which carries the power of the earth. Even if you are just a little bit touched, you will feel a sharp pain deep in your soul."
"You can activate the fire by yourself with your Qi, or you can absorb the fear and terror emitted by the enemy and activate it yourself."
Liao Zhong introduced the new mountain-climbing chainmail golden armor's abilities to Hu Xiuwu.
"It sounds powerful, but this skill doesn't seem like an armor ability. It's more like a weapon ability."
Hu Xiuwu's new skills were somewhat unexpected. Shouldn't armor have defensive skills? Why did such a strange skill as Paolao appear?
However, Hu Xiuwu lightly swung the armor in his hand, and the armor pieces rustled like the sound of cool wind blowing dry leaves. The armor pieces with mountain patterns were like dragon scales, rippling with golden light.
To be honest, it suits him quite well. He has been practicing the "Huangting Sutra" and his muscles and bones are already strong. With the blessing of the Golden Chain Armor for Mountain Climbing, his whole body can become a weapon. With his hair wrapped in dragon fire, he will no longer be afraid of flames.
Liao Zhong said: "There is no other way. Due to the limitation of raw materials, even Shizilang cannot create something out of nothing."
"Stuck with raw materials? What do you mean? Isn't the Panic Armor made from the fragments of bronze sacrificial vessels from the Shang and Zhou dynasties?"
"Bronze is correct, Shang and Zhou are correct, and even your guess about the function of the runes is correct, but the original purpose of these fragments was not to worship the gods."
In fact, Liao Zhong had just learned this knowledge from the researchers in the bunker when he was wearing armor today, but that didn't stop him from showing off to Chen Duo and Hu Xiuwu, showing off his versatility and knowledge of the past and present:
"It is true that the Shang Dynasty was defeated in the war between Shang and Zhou, but they all worshipped the same set of gods. The sacrificial vessels of the Shang Dynasty were exquisite and had infinite uses. The Great Zhou was not stupid, so how could they easily break them? Even if they wanted to break those sacrificial vessels, the priests in the temple would not agree."
"What was broken was not a sacrificial vessel from the Shang Dynasty, but a similar device used to create the sacrificial vessel, which was used for the punishment of burning people with fire."
"Records of the Grand Historian: Annals of Yin" said: "So King Zhou imposed severe punishments, including the method of "paoge", where charcoal was burned underneath and the criminals were made to walk on it."
The real punishment of burning people alive was not to tie them to a copper pillar and roast them, but to make them walk on a red-hot copper pillar placed horizontally on a high platform.
Sinners walking on it would either be scalded to death or fall into the fire and burn to death.
Just like a vase and a toilet, both are made of ceramics and have waterproof properties, but after leaving the kiln, one will become a blue and white porcelain vase that is admired by people, while the other can only stay in the six realms of reincarnation and endure all kinds of filth.
King Zhou used the same techniques used to make sacrificial vessels to make torture instruments, which was literally like stepping on God's face. No wonder he was stabbed in the back by Yi Ren in the end.
He was the king of aliens who was above all other creatures, but he sided with the mortals.
A fool, a hero.
It seemed that Gao Yuan was cheated by the seller back then, but Hu Xiuwu guessed that even if he knew the origin of these fragments, he probably wouldn't mind.
For the sake of the Zakramah people, he didn't care if it was dirty or auspicious. If it could lift the curse and cooperate with the evil spirit, he wouldn't care.
With a flick of his hand, Hu Xiuwu threw the Golden Mountain Climbing Chain Armor out of the box and it fell into Luofengtian.
The next morning, although still reluctant to leave, Hu Xiuwu boarded the plane back to Sijiu City. Before leaving, Chen Duo prepared a bunch of Huacheng specialties for him.
The plane was flying very fast, and Hu Xiuwu arrived at Sijiu City in just one nap.
Carrying a small backpack, Hu Xiuwu walked out of the terminal lightly. Hu Bayi was drafted by his mother to pick up his brother.
Hu Bayi took Hu Xiuwu's backpack and threw it into the trunk of his car. That's right, Hu Bayi also had a car of his own, a luxury car that could be exchanged for a house in a third or fourth tier city. Its value was far higher than the one Wang Kaixuan bought.
It is obvious that with Hu Bayi's salary, he would not be able to afford it even if he worked for another ten years. This was bought for him by Shirley Yang.
Hu Bayi is a very patriarchal man and he doesn't want the car his fiancée buys for him.
However, Shirley Yang said: Her fiancé drove those cheap cars, which was a loss to her. She seemed like she was bankrupt, and it would make her partners doubt her ability.
Having said that, Hu Bayi could only accept it reluctantly. He had originally wanted to leave the car at home. Even if he, Hu Bayi, walked to work, he would not drive the car given by his wife.
However, I couldn't help but try driving the car a few times to feel the comfortable driving seat, the smooth acceleration and braking, and the feeling of speeding on the viaduct.
No, it’s just too good!
There are few boys who can resist the temptation of luxury cars and powerful guns, and in the end he drove this car.
Hu Bayi had already opened the driver's door and was about to leave, but he saw his brother Hu Xiuwu still standing there, looking around, no one knew what he was looking at.
Hu Bayi asked curiously, "Come on, Xiuwu! Why don't you leave? Mom has prepared a table of delicious food for you at home."
After looking for a long time, there was still no kind fat man around to look for him. Hu Xiuwu smacked his lips, feeling a little disappointed.
It seems that the Shiro man’s style is still not up to par, it’s still lacking something.
"Nothing, let's go." Hu Xiuwu felt a little melancholy and no longer interested, so he simply sat in the back seat.
"It's weird."
Hu Bayi muttered something and drove away.
······
After returning to Sijiu City, Hu Xiuwu's life became dull. This place was like a safe zone in the game. He would catch up on his homework every day, chat with Chen Duo in the evening, and then it would be the day to go back to school.
I had been planning to talk to Wang Ye, but who would have thought that he would be even wilder than Hu Xiuwu, staying in Wudang Mountain and not coming back yet. Wang Ye is indeed wild.
It was not until the first day of school that Hu Xiuwu saw Wang Ye in the classroom.
Wang Ye was full of energy and lightness, and it was obvious that he had gained a lot in Wudang Mountain this summer. Before he officially joined Wudang Mountain, Wang Ye worked very hard, otherwise he would not have been valued by Taoist Master Yunlong and accepted as his disciple.
Unfortunately, after Wang Ye successfully joined Wudang, his true nature was immediately exposed. He spent his days in laziness, which made Taoist Master Yunlong so angry that he cried out that he was cheated. The young man did not learn his lesson and cheated an old man like him. He wanted to return the goods every few days.
This was the morning self-study session on the first day of school. The teacher was not there and the classroom was noisy with some chatting, some copying homework, and some begging for mercy.
Among them, the most people surrounded Liu Muzhi. Xiaotian had already used his krypton gold skills to hire several helpers.
Wang Ye's seat was right next to Hu Xiuwu, and Wang Ye just sat down.
