Please Have a Cup of Green Tea

At noon, in the camp.

The blonde girl sat on the sofa and sighed faintly.

"It's so slow, they. I sent them a group notification two hours ago. I don't know if these guys can come back in time."

Nina flipped the meat skewers on the grill with her hands and comforted: "No way, the ancient trees are far away from the camp, and it will take at least two or three hours for them to get back without the spirit beast. "

"Well, I don't believe that they don't even care about the mysterious level." Bi Ming nodded, watching her friends patiently making their lunch, and a little guilty, "That... Nina, let me help."

"No," Nina glanced at her amusingly, "don't make trouble, Testai, don't you hate oil fumes the most?"

The eldest lady blushed slightly: "That, that can't let you do it all."

The blue-haired girl shook her head: "You went outside with that bodyguard this morning, and it used up a lot of physical strength, so let me do it."

"Actually... not at all." The blond lady coughed lightly, even more embarrassed. She remembered that most of the way she went to the ruins was carried in 1998, and when she came back, she borrowed the other party's space to teleport. The hard work is absolutely impossible.

Nina put the meat skewers and mushroom skewers on the plate, and gave her friend a helpless wink: "Okay, I'm done, you go get some fruits, I'll cut them into small pieces and juice them."

"Well..." The blond girl sighed in relief, and finally found something to do, "Which types do you want?"

"Marting fruit, Soxo fruit, and...you can do whatever you like." Nina smiled, then looked behind Bi Ming, "By the way, I have been wanting to ask you just now, where is your live ball going? already?"

"Forgot to be in that newly discovered tourist area." The eldest said in a low voice, with a hint of complaining, "It's all because the guy's timing of teleportation was so sudden. I also want to record the scenery there for you to see."

Nina looked at her friend's slightly frowning eyebrows. Although she was indeed angry, she didn't seem to be really angry.

"Testen, that guy... is the android bodyguard who protected us last time?"

"Um."

"It looks like you guys are quite familiar." Nina sighed, "But be careful, these androids are emotionless, don't really think of them as human beings."

Bi Ming was slightly surprised.

The blue-haired girl frowned when she saw her friend's expression: "Tesla, you don't really think of him as a sentinel who can communicate with us on an equal footing..."

"Isn't he a sentinel?"

"No, he is a machine. No matter how humanized it is, all his reactions are controlled by 'programs'," Nina told Bi Ming seriously, "There should be a lot of functional robots in your house. Are they the same kind?"

The Egbert family has a huge territory, and the most important thing is various styles of robots, ranging from basic models with bizarre shapes to advanced models that are almost indistinguishable from humans.

But when Bi Ming remembered 1998, he felt that the other party was different from the intelligent robots in the original owner's home.

"Forget it, just remember this," Nina looked at her blank-faced friend and couldn't help but patted her on the shoulder, "Things like cyborgs are weapons in the hands of the government, don't they? Possibly self-possessed. Also, secretly telling you a secret…”

Speaking of this, Nina glanced vigilantly at the golden ball that was not far from them and patted her, and said next to Bi Ming's ear:

"In order to control these advanced weapons, the government will conduct frequent maintenance and regularly clear the memory in their brains, so maybe in a few days, the double-S sentinel will not know us."

Bi Ming was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, and said thoughtfully, "Well, I see."

She doesn't really care whether she has feelings in 1998 or not, as long as the other party can protect her dutifully.

When the show ended and she left the island, she no longer needed the other's protection, so it didn't matter whether he remembered him or not.

Seeing that her friend accepted her advice, Nina felt a little relieved.

Just as the two were talking, a gust of wind suddenly came from the air.

When Bi Ming was blown away by the wind and couldn't open his eyes, the clear and clear cry of the phoenix sounded in his ears.

In addition to the phoenix, there is another huge golden-bodied griffin that also roared loudly in the air.

The voices of the two equally rare spirit beasts were as clear as a zither on one side and as thick as a bell on the other side. When the sound waves collided, it seemed that the surrounding scenery would tremble.

The huge bodies of the firebird and the griffin almost covered the entire sky above the camp, making the world suddenly dim.

Bi Ming looked up from the gap in his hand and thought, if these sentinels really fight, these spiritual beasts can destroy the world.

But fortunately, both Tang and Phoenix stopped after showing their deterrent power.

Tang whistled happily, waved at the blond **** the ground, and then jumped straight off the Griffin's back under her astonished gaze—

When he landed, the strong wind ruffled his flaxen hair, making his harmless and cute baby face even more frantic.

Bi Ming has always thought that this guy sometimes looks like a lunatic, and now he feels even more so.

He even winked at her proudly: "Are you startled?"

"No, go away." After the eldest lady finished speaking, she ignored him and looked at the bamboo horse riding a phoenix on the ground not far away.

The red-haired man rolled up his shirt sleeves, his golden brown eyes like sharp hawks, looking towards them.

This cold, icy look was naturally not aimed at Bi Ming, but at Tang, who was smiling beside Bi Ming.

It was rare for Beaming to see such a straightforward disgust from the gentle Phoenix.

They are in the ruins... is there a conflict?

"This guy is a real murderer, Testai." Tang tsk tsk sighed, "I just asked him a little question, he just seemed to kill my whole family."

"You must have done something to anger him." Bi Ming said without hesitation.

"No," Tang shrugged, "I just asked him why his territory has never allowed large banquets, is it because he, the lord, doesn't like it."

It was the first time that Bi Ming heard such rumors.

For the large-scale forces of this era, it is basically impossible not to hold a banquet. Because the banquet itself is not for pleasure, but for businessmen to exchange interests, resources and information more conveniently.

The Phoenix Super Galaxy under Phoenix's rule, the ore energy stored in the entire Interstellar Federation is one of the best, and it has also built countless large transport ports... Such a rich site is not allowed to hold large banquets? It's just kind of inhumane.

Apparently Don thought so too.

However, Tang's idea is not as simple as Bi Ming. What he is depressed about is Phoenix's behavior in the Phoenix super galaxy to kill the star thieves, and the degree of strict and terrifying control, which makes them coveted the energy mine of that galaxy. , it is difficult to penetrate into it.

And the right to hold the banquet is just the tip of the iceberg that Phoenix wants to control.

Just like this time.

The red-haired man walked over directly, looking down at the blond girl who was still frowning: "Tsdai, come here."

The eldest lady looked at Zhuma's calm eyes and felt a little uneasy when she remembered the other party's suggestion to keep her away from Tang.

"Fini...I'm going to get some fruit..."

When Phoenix approached, he didn't give Tang any extra looks, and stared at Qingmei: "I'll accompany you, by the way, let's talk about that town."

"Well... okay." Bi Ming sighed silently, finding no reason to refuse.

She found that if Phoenix looked at Tang like ice cubes, then when he turned to her, the ice was melting.

At this moment, she had a vague feeling that something had gone off the rails.

A feeling that was beyond her expectations appeared exactly beside her.

They walked side by side to the corner where the fruits were piled up. In the process, Bi Ming turned his head to the side, and was able to meet the man's quiet smiling eyes.

The gold inside, like a swaying open flame, burns silently.

He didn't ask what she said to Tang just now, and he didn't rush to ask her about the hidden town, but followed her quietly.

A special atmosphere enveloped the two of them.

The eldest lady was a little embarrassed, but her face still pretended to be normal: "Did you... see the notice I sent?"

"Um."

"Then what do you want to ask, I will try my best to answer you." The blond girl lowered her head and said quickly, the two curly hair on her forehead also swayed down, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

Phoenix stared at her smudged pink earlobes, like tiny flower bones, swaying in the breeze.

It was supposed to be shy and timid, but with the girl's red lips biting because of nervousness, and a tone that was clearly disturbed and pretending to be calm, it showed a more contradictory and charming temperament.

Just like a little rose with thorns, she flutters her teeth and dances, trying to prevent others from touching her soft petals.

Looking at her who was a little awkward, the man's stern face softened a bit.

"Tesla, I just want to ask you one question right now."

"you say…"

"Next time you encounter such an emergency, can you tell me immediately?" He pointed to the location of the communicator.

Bi Ming's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up at him with a hint of hesitation: "But you're not here..."

"My phoenix can arrive in advance." He held up the beautiful flamingo that had shrunk in mid-air, "its fastest speed is equal to the speed of light."

Bi Ming glanced at the golden ball behind him, and hurriedly made a "shush" gesture with his fingers: "Don't reveal your abilities."

Phoenix, who was amused by her vigilant demeanor, waved his hand: "It's okay."

There are very few sentinels who can make the speed of the spirit beast reach this level, and once others encounter this kind of unsolved speed, they can only admit defeat.

Bi Ming looked at other people's spirit beasts, and thought of the little fat pigeon on her shoulders that had no advantages other than gaining weight, probably because the contrast was too obvious, she poked it itchy, and the sleepy white pigeon " With a click, he fell to the grass in a lying posture.

Bewildered, it raised its head, looked around, and finally turned towards the "culprit" - its owner "coo" twice, and Doudou's eyes widened by half a centimeter in anger.

"Okay, don't pretend to be dead." Bi Ming poked its belly again, "Get up quickly, besides sleeping or sleeping, what do you think you are doing?"

"Cuckoo! [You have to give me a massage to get up!]" The little fat pigeon began to haggle.

The eldest lady ignored its request for further progress, and turned her head to continue chatting with Phoenix about the ruins.

But this stubborn little pigeon seemed to have inherited the firmness of its owner, and it moved its body so that its poor body just appeared in Bi Ming's line of sight.

"Arnold has already told us about the use of the fifth-order Rubik's Cube, but the problem now is that there are too many rooms, and it is difficult to determine which room the key is in..." Phoenix said, while glancing at the tricky little animal on the ground, the corners of his lips Has an unstoppable smile.

When the little phoenix flying beside him saw this, a flapping fan landed next to the white dove, and the fiery red feathers gently stroked the small belly of the white dove, causing it to make a comfortable humming sound.

"What is it doing?" Bi Ming stopped talking and watched Firebird's movements curiously.

"Your pigeon is in an evolutionary period, and the temperature of the phoenix will stimulate its metabolism and make it develop faster." Phoenix smiled meaningfully.

In fact, there is another meaning that he selectively concealed.

When the wings of the phoenix brushed the white dove, it not only brought plenty of heat, but also collected the high-dimensional signal of the white dove for instant positioning and transmission.

In this way, even if there is a temporary danger, Phoenix can ensure that he gets to Bi Ming in time.

Phoenix and Don were the first to return to camp.

It didn't take long for the others to come back one after another.

Christian, who was riding a white fox, landed from the clouds. Under the light of the day stars, the blond and blue-eyed man had a gorgeous and elegant aristocratic style.

Sean riding a scorpion followed closely, and Arnold above the giant boa… Although the spirit beasts of the other sentinels can also fly, they are still not as easy to use as the flying phoenix and griffin, so they lag behind. The first two sentries took a few minutes.

As for Cecia and Lilith, they were the last ones to arrive, and they also took the "high-altitude express line". After all, Tang's high-altitude cyclone was still very useful, and it was more than enough to hold the weight of the two girls.

However, when the dizzy and dizzy women were sent back to the ground by the cyclone, they couldn't help but go to the bathroom tent and vomit for a while, and it took a long time to recover.

At the same time, the program team continued to patch the newly discovered "Blue Star Ruins". When everyone packed up and prepared to go, they sent out two emergency notifications.

Article 1: [Dear guests, the Eros Day gifts you selected last night will be airdropped on the open space outside, and will be divided into two batches for men and women, please check them. (Note: Each guest can only take one gift, which cannot be exchanged in any name)]

Article 2: [Congratulations to the fourth female guest for triggering the mysterious level. As a reward, the program team decided to provide the most luxurious villa in the ancient blue star tourist town to all the guests from today!

The villa is located in a large manor in the center of the town, and there are no servants in it, but the housekeeping robot takes care of everything well. Now please enter the manor, explore different places in the mysterious level, and find the "truth" hidden in it. 】

Seeing the second notice, all the little girls present exclaimed in surprise, and the sentries clearly realized that the war had begun.

The government is sure that the mysterious level hides a shocking secret, and it may even be the genetic stock solution and data. Why don't the sentries think so?

This time, under the government's instruction, the program team boldly sent the guests from the camp to that town, so that the five sentinels could logically make good use of the night time to conduct investigations.

"We can live in the villa!" After the simple Lilith read the notice, she happily hugged Bi Ming's arm, "Thank you Testen, I finally don't have to sleep in the tent all day."

Cecia was relatively calm: "There is no mess in the sky... Although it is comfortable for us to move to the villa, half of the second stage has passed, and even if we can stay there, it will not be long."

Nina looked at Bi Ming: "Can we still have a room like this?"

Seeing that this is what her friend subconsciously cares about, Bi Ming couldn't help being stunned: "It should be possible... If you can't, just move it yourself."

"Well, that's what I thought." Nina raised her lips.

And Bi Ming looked stunned because she was still sighing for the efficiency of the government—

In the morning, I found out that in the afternoon, I used a robot to fabricate a big lie, and successfully fooled the audience of Xingwang.

…

A few minutes later, the female guests all stood in the open space, looking at the five gift boxes with different packaging and colors in front of them, and fell into contemplation one after another.

Which one to choose?

Soon, Lilith caught the biggest of the five gifts and announced loudly:

"I want the one in the red package."

But Cecia poured a pot of cold water on her and said coldly, "Why? I want to choose this too."

Bi Ming frowned and quickly read the five gifts:

The first is a light golden rectangular box with clear edges and corners, without any logo or print, indicating that the person who chose him is relatively neat, like Sean's style.

The second is a blue, small and exquisite square box with a bow tied with white silk at the top, which looks elegant and simple, and seems to be Arnold's aesthetic.

The third one is the deep red gift box that Lilith and Cecia liked. The packaging material is expensive velvet paper, and there is a red crystal embedded in the center. Possibly with Chris.

The fourth is green wrapping paper, which is neatly tied with a dark green drawstring.

The last one is a round box wrapped in rainbow-colored printed paper, with a cute little bear doll tied with a ribbon on the outside, which looks particularly childish.

In the end, she was too annoying to guess, and asked Nina directly: "Which one do you like?"

Nina picked up the green one: "I like plants, just this color."

Bi Ming bent her lips and picked up the blue one: "This one is the same color as my eyes, that's all."

On the other hand, Lilith and Cecia, who were still fighting for the same gift, decided to take the most primitive method—

lottery.

Bi Ming was forced to become their referee and made two simple notes, one long and one short.

The final result came out: Cecia wins.

So, Lilith could only reluctantly choose the rainbow-colored gift tied with the bear.

And Cecia smiled at Bi Ming, with a hint of a victor's calm: "Thank you."

Bi Ming: "Don't thank me, you are lucky."

"I think red is very beautiful recently," Cecia smiled and deliberately increased her voice in the second half of the sentence, "and the gift I chose is also red."

This is saying... how is it so subtle?

The real tea master Bi Ming also picked up the hair on the side of his ear, and replied with a light smile from the other party: "It seems that we are not the same. My favorite color is blue."

Cecia was slightly taken aback.

"Because this is the color of my eyes." The girl with blond hair and blue eyes lifted her chin lightly with a hint of pride.

What does it mean?

Cecia's doubts continued until the arrival of the sentries.

Seeing the gifts in the hands of the female guests, the faces of the men were different.

"Fini, did I guess right?" Under the gazes of others, the girl shook the gift box in her hand.

The red-haired man looked at the blue gift in Ome's hand, and the corners of his lips raised, very happy.

"Um."

He knew she would recognize it—because it was the color of his sapphire collar.

It was also her eyes, a light blue as clean as the sky.

Seeing their interaction, Cecia suddenly understood the true meaning of Bi Ming's previous words.

How about you like red? Phoenix likes blue.

Cecia was a little aggrieved. To be honest, she had lost interest in any man in this show—

Who wants to have a hot face and a cold **** all day long? She has given n times of positive signals, but in return it is still the perfunctory and ignorance of the sentinels.

But she needs traffic and topicality, so she can either hug Tesdai's thigh like Lilith and be her friend, or she will be against the eldest lady, black and red are also red.

However, choosing Phoenix as a starting point...isn't it wrong?

For example, at this moment, she feels that she is just a pure outsider, and her childhood sweethearts don't even look at her.

If there is no qualification to participate, what is there to say about competition?

The author has something to say: Cecia's mentality is: from full of confidence to self-doubt to broken jars, she just wants to get traffic now, not to grab Phoenix (and knows it's impossible), but to attract attention Degree (you know)
