YM778.TV Chapter 234 - Living in A Big House and Eating Steak
Chapter 234: Living in A Big House and Eating Steak
Ling Pingan spent two hours drafting out the initial details of his new book.
The title of the book was also amended from “I became the creator” to “I became the creator of the insect swarm.”.
He looked at the densely packed details that he had set up.
He nodded slightly.
“The plan can be activated if that ant queen can meet the requirements tomorrow …”
The ant queen he designed would have many abilities.
First, it would be led by an info element, becoming the command brain and core of the ant empire in the future.
That was the inspiration he got from watching the documentary.
A beehive-like social structure.
A top-down organizational system.
The Ant Queen would be in the center, mobilizing and commanding the huge ant army through the info element, sweeping away all evil.
The second was the powerful battlefield replenishment ability.
As for insects, being able to grow was the key!
Their number in the colony was the crucial aspect!
That was the inspiration he got from his clan tribe, the Gangba clan tribe.
The green skin always relied on numbers to suppress their opponents.
Moreover, the bigger they were, the more characteristics they had. Ling Pingan believed that if it was written in a novel, it would be great!
Thirdly, the excellent gene integration ability in the settings.
The ant queen would evolve from generation to generation, becoming stronger and stronger.
In the end, it would become a monster that was comparable to the strongest leader in the game.
And the number of offspring it gave birth to would increase.
Only, it had both quantity and quality.
It was simply awesome!
Just the setting made Ling Pingan feel a little excited.
Because he was sure that this was an idea that had never existed before!
Currently, there was no novel of the same kind on the market!
So…
“If I succeed… me as the sixth scholar of the Central Plains is just around the corner!” The author of the online novel, who was fantasizing about his new book becoming a hit, fell into a dream of success.
However…
The problem was that these were only the details.
If he wanted to turn it into a novel, he would have to wait for the follow-up.
After all, although this novel could be written easily, and he could be creative with it.
But…
He was a damned reasonable writer.
He always wanted to be reasonable.
So, he needed a reference.
The ant queen in that game was the best reference.
Moreover, after being cultivated, many plots could be described according to the behavior and action of the ant queen.
Although it was just a game.
But…
He was only writing a novel!
“Ugh…”
He felt a little hungry, so he picked up his phone and ordered a bowl of Tonkotsu ramen.
… … … ..
It was evening in Kyoto, and the sunset filled the sky.
Walking in a quiet alley, Li Anan and Chu Weiwei were happy and at ease.
They chatted.
“The houses in Fusang are completely different from the houses in the metropolitan territory and Beizhou!” Chu Weiwei said, “Their houses are unique, a little like the scholar’s rooms of ancient sages…”
“Yes!” Li Anan nodded. “This is because Fusang is lacking in resources…” she looked at the surrounding wooden houses. Fusang’s houses, especially the residences of the ordinary people, were usually shorter, furthermore, the structures were mostly made of bamboo or wood. “There are more industrial products in the metropolitan territory, so they usually like to build skyscrapers…”
In the metropolitan territory of the Federal Empire, a city that was suitable for living was worth every inch of land.
It was unavoidable because the population of the empire was too large!
Therefore, they could only use the land as much as possible and build as many tall buildings as possible.
“As for Beizhou and Nanzhou…” Li Anan didn’t want to mention the two kingdoms that were vast and sparsely populated.
Beizhou had a population of less than 200 million, and Nanzhou had a population of just over 100 million!
However, the area of the two kingdoms was only slightly smaller than the metropolitan territory.
Vast and sparsely populated, and rich resources.
The result was big houses were built!
The houses of the ordinary people in these two kingdoms, especially the farmers in the countryside, usually occupied more than ten or even dozens of acres of land.
There were usually courtyards at the door and a swimming pool at the back.
Great rivers and lakes were at the door of the house.
Steaks were placed in the refrigerator of the house as if they were free.
The children got tired of eating beef and mutton every day, so the most expensive food in the supermarkets of Beizhou and Nanzhou was vegetables.
Especially the natural and pollution-free vegetables, the price of one catty of cabbage was the price of two catty of meat!
Over there, the poor ate meat, and the rich ate vegetables.
Buddhism became a religion that only capitalists and farmers could believe in.
The ordinary people and the middle class could only believe in Taoism.
That was because Taoism did not require vegetarians!
Therefore, more than half of Fusang’s vegetables were bought by Beizhou and Nanzhou.
Kobe radish and Kobe cabbage were two business cards.
On the other hand, Fusang’s beef was not a match for Beizhou and Nanzhou because of its low yield.
“Captain…” Chu Weiwei suddenly remembered something. “I heard that back then, Taizu had been talking about living in big houses and eating steak!”
“Now, we seemed to have realized his dream!”
“Yes!” Li Anan nodded. “We have realized it a long time ago!”
“Living in big houses and eating steak!” That was the phrase that Taizu Emperor was most familiar with.
When he conquered the world, he relied on this slogan!
Live in a big house and eat steak!
Legend had it that in order to let them know what was a big house and eating steak.
After the Taizu conquered a county, he slaughtered the calf in the county and specially picked the most tender meat for the soldiers to eat.
Then, he brought the soldiers to live in the county’s great master’s residence.
He vividly told everyone: What is a big house? And what is a steak?
As the two of them spoke, they walked into a quiet alley.
The alley was quiet, and it was a dead end.
So, they planned to retreat and find a new path.
But…
Someone blocked the entrance of the alley.
There was more than one person!
“Ladies!” The leader was a man dressed as a warrior. He raised his head, and the scar on his face was particularly conspicuous. “Come with us!”
Behind him, seven or eight men and women of about the same age surrounded him.
They looked at Li Anan and Chu Weiwei with malicious intent.
Li Anan looked at them and said to Chu Weiwei, “Weiwei, look, I said I can find them!”
Chu Weiwei smiled and nodded. She was extremely impressed by the captain’s intelligence!
The expressions of the men and women changed instantly.
However…
They also understood that since this was a trap, it was useless to run now.
Moreover, it was only a major and a first lieutenant!
The leading warrior snorted coldly!
“Even a mere Major dare to boast shamelessly!”
A sharp metallic tail extended out from behind his back.
That was his strongest weapon!
A weapon named Kagune!
And the others also grew strange limbs from behind their bodies, showing all sorts of metallic colors.
This was their strongest weapon, the human-like foreign species known as the ‘ghoul’!
Their bodies had been modified by some strength.
That allowed them to obtain combat strength, defensive strength, and vitality that far surpassed that of an ordinary person.
It also made them suffer from an endless thirst for human flesh!
That thirst even made them lose all interest in ordinary food!
And these people added together were enough to face a lieutenant colonel head-on!
They had also experimented and indeed escaped from a lieutenant colonel of the Fusang Kingdom!
Now, facing a mere major and lieutenant.
They were naturally fearless.
On the contrary, they were incomparably greedy!
“Their flesh and blood are rich in psionic energy!”
“They will taste great!”
The samurai shouted. Under the support of the Kagune, he charged forward like a gale!
It wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible!
That way, even if these two people had backup, they would only be able to see their remains!
… … … ..
Li Anan looked at Chu Weiwei.
She gently took off a bracelet that she was wearing.
That was a birthday present that little Pingan had given her when she was enrolled in university at the age of 18. It was a very precious thing. She couldn’t get it dirty!
“Weiwei…”
“Do you know… What is the third function of the Blackguard?”
Chu Weiwei raised her head. “I swear to protect the right of the people of the Federal Empire to live in big houses and eat steak!” She said extremely seriously.
Li Anan smiled. She was like a rose in summer, beautiful and dangerous.
“Yes!” She looked at the so-called ghouls that rushed over and jumped up high. “The mission of the Blackguard when we were founded was to protect the three generations of our ancestors, Taizong, and Gaozong…”
“The right to live in big houses and eat steak!”
“It is not a born power!”
“It’s not something that falls from the sky either!”
“It’s the power that our ancestors and countless of our ancestors watered with their flesh and blood!”
“The Blackguard is the shield and sharp blade that protects this power!”
Chu Weiwei nodded seriously. She raised both her hands and silver bracelets appeared one after another.
“Weiwei understands!” How could the Chu family of Qingcheng Mountain not know?
“Green Dragon, White Tiger, Team Battle, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Imperial Guard!” She recited the spell that had been passed down in her family. The talismans on the bracelets lit up one by one.
Thus, all the bracelets turned into a short sword!
Chu Weiwei held the short sword. She looked at the captain who was already leaping towards the enemy and shouted, “Captain, I’m backing you up!”
The major who was already leaping in the air chuckled. Her black hair drooped down.
“It just so happens that ever since I advanced, I still don’t know how powerful my Dao techniques are now.”
As she laughed, her beautiful hair danced in the air.
“Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky!” A clear female voice sounded as if it came from the sky.
A small stream of water flowed out from her black hair.
Like a drizzle, it fell on the enemy.
As the drizzle fell, each drop instantly turned into a sharp water arrow.
This was the “Sword’s Will Technique” that Li Anan had been painstakingly cultivating.
It was also the Blackguard’s authentic basic defensive Dao technique. It was usually given to the sergeants and lieutenants to cultivate.
As for Li Anan, she had just advanced and hadn’t had the time to change her Dao technique.
She didn’t want to change it either!
Because…
Other Dao techniques were too difficult…
She didn’t know how to use them!
She could only cultivate such a basic Dao technique.
Even so, it took her several years to advance from a captain to a major!
Who knew how long it would take to advance to lieutenant colonel if she changed her Dao technique?
Five years? Ten years!?
Or even twenty or thirty years…
She didn’t want that to happen!
Moreover…
“There’s nothing bad about the Sword’s Will Technique…”
The so-called Sword’s Will Technique was a Dao technique in which the mind was a sword.
It was usually used in conjunction with the poems of ancient scholars to achieve the effect of wounding others with the mind!
It was a Dao technique that was very suitable for the entry-level sergeant.
But after becoming a lieutenant, it wasn’t very practical.
After all, a mind needed a strong soul to support it!
If a soul wasn’t strong, the power of mind released wouldn’t even be able to break even a cup, so how could it fight against the enemy?
However, Li Anan didn’t know the logic.
That was because she rarely encountered battles.
Basically, the enemies she encountered were either delayed by something or scared off by some strong enemy.
Speaking of which, that was the first time she directly fought against an enemy.
Therefore, the major was very excited!
Bang, bang, bang!
Something that looked like a compound limb grew out of the back of the ghoul and continuously counterattacked.
It scattered the water swords one by one!
However…
There were still water swords that broke through the interception and hit the bodies of these foreign species.
They raised their heads and found that there seemed to be no harm.
They all laughed.
Li Anan also laughed.
Her black hair danced in the air.
“Do you not see the mirrors bright in chambers high…”
There seemed to be something crawling in the ghoul’s bodies.
“Grieve over your snow-white hair though once it was silk-black!”
Li Anan’s hair instantly turned white.
And under her feet, the charging ghouls felt weak one after another.
They staggered as if they had lost their strength.
“What did you do?” They looked at the beautiful girl, who was floating high above, her silver-white hair that hung behind her.
She was as beautiful as a fairy and as dangerous as a fairy!
“Nothing…” Li Anan smiled. “I just caught you guys!”
She slowly pulled up her white hair.
Turning around, she looked at Chu Weiwei, who was holding her sword and started to complain. “Weiwei, I’m in trouble! I’m in trouble! This time, I’m afraid I’ll have to rest for a few days before my hair turns black…”
When she was still a second lieutenant, she already knew that her Sword’s Will Technique seemed to be slightly different.
And when she was promoted to major, she had already felt that her Sword’s Will Technique had indeed undergone a mutation!
It was no longer just an entry-level Dao technique that couldn’t even break a cup.
It was as if it already could interfere with others with its thoughts.
Just like now…
At the price of turning her hair white, she had caused these ghouls to sink into senility and directly lose most of their combat strength!
Now, the true combat strength of these ghouls was already less than 70% of their original strength.
“Weiwei…” Li Anan smiled and said, “Let’s catch these foreign species together!”
The ghouls were panicked.
Especially the leading warrior, it immediately opened a communication firework that it carried with it.
Bang!
The firework exploded!
It was asking for help!
Unfortunately…
Until it was tied up by Li Anan and Chu Weiwei with special shackles made by the Blackguard.
The reinforcements it had been waiting for did not arrive.
… … … … ..
On a roof in Kyoto.
One after another, the ghouls had already fallen onto the roof.
Their bodies had been completely torn apart by something terrifying.
Only the last ghoul was still alive.
Although it was alive, it was not far from death.
Because…
Its Kagune had been completely torn apart by a terrifying thing.
Now, that thing was playing with it like a cat playing with its prey.
“Why?” The once-powerful ghoul spat out large mouthfuls of blood. “Why?”
“Shouldn’t we be the same kind?”
“The same kind?” A strange and terrifying voice sounded.
“An ant infected by a ghoul is not worthy to be with me.” A monster walked out from the Dark Shadow. It looked ferocious and smiled cruelly. “What’s more, you ants dare to attack that one?”
“You don’t know what’s fear!”
If that one lost a hair…
The monster knew that if the board was hit, it would probably be thrown back into the eternal time cage by the Great Silver Key.
Suddenly, an image was reflected in the monster’s eyes.
He was stunned.
“White… White…”
“How dare you make her hair turn white!”
He opened his mouth, and countless sharp teeth were revealed.
“Mordiggian!” He roared, “You are in big trouble!”
Her hair turned white.
That was much more serious than losing a hair!
The monster’s body could not help but tremble.
He was extremely afraid!
Fortunately…
The will of the great silver key rang in his ears.
The ruler would not blame them on this matter.
That was a part of the growth that the ruler had to go through.
That made him more or less at ease.
Even so… he was terrified.
If the ruler did not mind this time, what about the next time?
Or if he was in a bad mood and suddenly wanted to blame them?
Thinking of that, the monster suddenly opened its mouth and bit on the poor ghoul, tearing it up completely. Then, it sucked out the brain matter and swallowed it.
Then, its figure slowly faded away.
It only left a row of empty footprints on the roof, like the footprints of a dog.
When he was gone, the fire engulfed the roof.
