MTL - Pretend To Be a Boss

  Chapter 3 Hot Pot and Girls

  Jiang Ming does not believe that Tang Xian has superpowers similar to mind reading.

  No matter how powerful the talented people are in the mining area, after leaving the mining area, they will be no different from ordinary people.

  Things in the mining area can be brought into reality, but those abilities in the mining area cannot be brought out.

  He could only be sure that Tang Xian had probably done enough preparations for himself and Bai Ling.

  He doesn't need to know what Tang Xian does. But if Tang Xian didn't cheat, why was there so much evidence that he cheated?

  …

  …

  The prickly ash is up and down, and the hairy belly is rolling; the boiled red oil soup is also soaked in ingredients called oyster mushrooms and fried tofu.

   are ingredients that are hard to find nowadays.

  Tang Xian was cooking hot pot while looking at the mission manual.

  Different from temporary workers, what regular workers do in mining areas is no longer limited to marginal mining.

  Compared to mining, accepting the task of hunting creatures in the mining area and obtaining their core mines is a more effective means of getting rich.

  If an unknown area can be explored and new mineral sources discovered, the reputation will spread to the top of every fortress.

  Tang Xian doesn't care about fame and fortune, but he does plan to take on a few tasks to improve his living environment—mainly food.

   Not long ago, he saw Chaoshan fish **** and salt and pepper mantis shrimp in an old food book, and suddenly became interested in eating Cantonese cuisine.

   Coincidentally, the antique shop arrived not long ago, and a snake on the ground floor gave Tang Xian the news that there were several Cantonese style boilers recently. They all come from the ruins of Yangcheng.

   This made Tang Xian suddenly interested in hunting creatures in the mining area.

   In addition, he also wanted to buy a set of Twenty-Four Histories and Western History.

  Human civilization has undergone a great cleansing. Not one out of ten survived.

  In addition, many historical documents are in the ruins of ancient cities full of nuclear radiation. Human beings have long been unclear about the past.

  This is the weirdest point. People have technologies like pyramids and quantum transformation, but many existing civilization technologies have been forgotten.

  It seems that the upper-level authorities are unwilling to trace these civilizations. They shifted all strategic goals to the mining area itself, wanting to find a chosen one who can defeat the creatures in the mining area, and want to break the rules of the seven-day survival limit of the mining area.

   Tang Xian didn't understand, but he was just thankful that the art of cooking and cooking was still preserved in the earliest model boiler.

   After exiting the mining area, no matter how long it takes, it will take ten hours to enter the mining area again through the crack.

   Tang Xian was a little bored waiting, so he began to think about how to do the task later.

   At this time, there was a knock on the door.

   He frowned, but opened the door anyway.

   "Master... Sir, do you want to serve?"

   is a young girl with a very attractive figure, bulging forward and backward. Somewhat mature for their age.

   "Don't ask me to do something that violates the core values ​​of socialism." Tang Xian closed the door decisively.

   There are many such women. They are inferior to strong men at the bottom, and their ability to dig minerals for commodities is limited, and they are even "taxed" by some old temporary workers.

  Most women choose to turn themselves into commodities.

   Tang Xian had never encountered it before. Commodities are also chosen by buyers. This is also the reason why Song Zhe can succeed every time.

  Most women can't wait for the opportunity to show their figure to the second-tier or even higher-level people in their lifetime.

  The woman in front of me is very young. He looks two years younger than himself. The appearance is also very cute.

  If you change into clean clothes and go to a more upscale barber shop on the second floor to have your hair done, you should be a beautiful little beauty.

   "Please! Just let me stay for one night..."

  Seeing that Tang Xian was about to close the door, the girl was a little anxious.

"I reject."

   Tang Xian was very straightforward, using a little force in his hands. Everyone has their own choices and life.

   After staying on the first floor for a long time, seeing too many tragedies, my heart hardened. And the data in his eyes also showed that this girl was not honest.

   But suddenly he stopped.

  He saw the girl swallow her saliva, and gently sniffed the tip of her delicate nose.

  The aroma of duck intestines and tripe soaked in red oil soup came out.

  The girl's stomach growled at the right time.

   "Forget it, come in."

   Tang Xian suddenly opened the door.

  The girl raised her head instantly and looked at Tang Xian gratefully. Then I found that this face was unexpectedly beautiful.

   "Sit on the floor. The room is small and there is no furniture. Fortunately, there are plenty of bowls and chopsticks."

"thank you."

   After washing, Tang Xian handed the bowl and chopsticks to the girl.

   When she took it, the girl was a little confused.

  She has eaten nutritious meals, just like porridge, basically using a spoon. So she has never used chopsticks since she grew up.

  She was embarrassed to speak, so she watched Tang Xian eat, imitating Tang Xian's way of using chopsticks.

  But some are not very good at it.

   Tang Xian ate something with a dull head, duck intestines, blood, hairy belly, and fried tofu. Eat with gusto.

  He doesn't intend to keep girls here to do the highest mission of mankind, he just simply... wants someone to know the deliciousness of hot pot.

   Tang Xian raised his head: "Why don't you eat?"

   "I...I don't know how to use..."

  The girl directly held the chopsticks in her hand.

   Tang Xian forgot about this, he also read in a booklet that the ancient Chinese used chopsticks to eat.

   It is troublesome to use, but it looks quite beautiful.

  So he endured the inconvenience and learned these.

   "Use the middle finger, thumb, and index finger to hold it gently. The thumb should be placed next to the nail of the index finger..."

   Tang Xian began to teach the girl to hold chopsticks.

  Girls also study hard. When people are in a hurry, they often have wisdom beyond ordinary times. Of course, mathematics is an exception. If you don't know mathematics, you won't.

  Hungry jingle bells, and the smell of hot pot makes people's index fingers move, the girl learns very quickly.

   Tang Xian was a little surprised.

   "That's right, let's eat. This is tripe, and this is duck intestines. They can be eaten after just a few rinsings. Don't cook them for too long, or they won't be tender after a long time."

  …

  …

  At first, she was still a little reserved and cared about eating, but soon the girl gave up. She seems to have a talent for learning, and she quickly became proficient in using chopsticks.

   Then he ate the fried tofu, biting the crispy hairy belly lightly, showing an embarrassed smile from time to time. With a bit of shyness.

  But the mouth didn't stop.

  Tang Xian likes this expression. He takes many things lightly, but he is very particular about food.

   Today's nutritious meals have an experience that conforms to the aesthetics of human taste, but just like the Internet celebrity face more than a thousand years ago, it is a stereotyped thing.

  The feeling of being delicious should not be singular.

  Since few guests came, Tang Xian's hot pot was not much, and the two of them ate it quickly.

   Tang Xian resumed his original attitude and said:

   "You should go."

   "Huh? You won't let me stay?"

  The girl obviously didn't expect that this man just wanted someone to enjoy the delicious food.

   Tang Xian poked out his ears, smiling half-smile.

  Never come early or late, but on the very night after he became a regular, a woman came to serve him. Of course, he didn't believe in coincidences. Especially today, I finally have the hunting qualification to enter the unsafe area of ​​the mining area.

  The panel data in his eyes also makes him very interesting.

  The arrival of this girl is most likely deliberately arranged by someone, but there is no malice.

   "I will stay in the mining area for the next few days. You have a good figure and good looks. In the words of the lower class, you are top-grade. If you just want to be taken in, there are many places to go."

  The girl lowered her head and said:

   "Do you think I'm ugly?"

   "Why, we are all scum living at the bottom, so we have no right to dislike each other. It's just that I have a woman I like, and I'm not interested in you."

  After human beings had a hierarchical system, the ancient concept of Tang Xian has gradually been replaced by another concept.

   In fact, it is very common for women to have multiple men and men to have multiple women at the top of the pyramid.

   Only the strong have the right to mate and control the same kind.

  This statement was a meme in the ancient times of the 21st century, but it is a status quo today.

   Tang Xian's thoughts surprised the girl.

  If you can get into a house on the ground floor, how can there be a good person in the pure sense?

  She looked at Tang Xian with wide eyes, and Tang Xian looked down at the time.

   "Are you going to the mining area?"

   "Yes. So you should go, I will stay for many days."

   "But it's night now... the mining area at night is very dangerous, right?"

   "Yes, at night."

  The girl looked at Tang Xian in disbelief, her big eyes blinking.

   It is true that in this kind of thing, only the expensive ones are chosen and not the right ones, but maybe there is still a scent of red oil on the tongue, maybe it is because Tang Xian feels very calm.

  The girl didn't want to really leave, she hesitated for a long time, and said:

   "Are you a regular worker? Why don't you go to the second floor."

  “Savages do savage things, look at habits, and watch gentlemen do savage things, and they will feel uncomfortable.”

  The girl didn't understand the meaning of Tang Xian's words.

   Tang Xian continued to urge: "You really should go."

   "Take me with you, I can help you! I can be your eyes!"

   Tang Xian raised his eyebrows.

  The term “eyes” is a lingo spoken in the expedition team organized by formal workers.

  A team generally has six people, one for treatment and one for intelligence. General intelligence personnel are called eyes.

   "Have you ever been to a mining area?"

   "I...I learned knowledge."

"May I have your name."

   "My name is Dongran. I didn't lie to you. Take me with you. I actually have four talents!"

   There is still a short while before being able to enter the mining area again.

  A girl who sold her body for accommodation came to find herself, and she was also a four-talented person.

   Tang Xian felt that no matter who sent it, even though he had a bad brain, at least he had a good hand.

   "If you can see the four talents, you have to explain how you were reduced to sell yourself for a house? Logically speaking, the geniuses with the four talents should at least live on the third floor."

  After Tang Xian finished asking, the girl lowered her head and said nothing, as if thinking of something sad.

   Tang Xian is not in a hurry, he really doesn't hate this girl named Dongran, if she can really see the four kinds of data, no matter who arranged for her to come, it will help him to a certain extent.

  He frowned slightly and said:

"I'm not interested in your body, but when I go to the mining area, I have to stay for a while. It's good to eat hot pot once in a while. I have to enrich the cuisine and change to a new pot. The area I will go to is occupied by fierce beasts in the mining area. Place, if you follow me, you must at least make me trust you, even if you are making up a story, you have to complete the process and give a statement that both of you can feel at ease."

   Tang Xian's gaze is not sharp, but the girl has a feeling of being seen through. He is also very patient for a while, waiting for the girl whose honesty rating is rated as coming soon to make up a story.

   "I didn't take part in the test of selection."

"reason."

   "Someone hurt me at the time. When I arrived... the exam was over."

   "This is not new."

   "I was in poor health that day, and I didn't arrive at the examination room on time, and there is no way to retake the test of the chosen one..."

   "So you're down to level one?"

"Even if I tell people that I have four kinds of talents, people will not believe me. The first floor is all deserted people. You know, when I was in school, the teacher would say that. The eliminated under the law of evolution. I didn't expect you to be a regular worker, let alone you would enter the... mining area at this time."

  Dongran opened her eyes wide, and said with a kind of reluctance:

   "I want to live a better life, and I can also play a role! You take me in! You must be going to do big things, right?"

  Temporary workers can only go to the relatively safe Xinshou Village. The number of creatures in the mining area attacking Novice Village is the least, mostly at night.

Tang Xian understood the meaning of Dongran. He probably wanted to kill creatures in the mining area, complete a certain task on the task board, and then be recommended by a formal worker, so that he could get a chance to prove himself and enter a higher level. Level, live a comfortable life.

   "I trust you for now."

  In Tang Xian's view, there are too many loopholes in this reason, and acting skills also need to be honed. But this girl has some uses, just like when she was about to go out, someone sent a bodyguard. But it will take some time to guess who it is.

   "You go to the mining area, what task do you plan to take?"

  Tang Xian looked at the time and said, "It's almost time, I'm going to hunt a three-headed hellhound."

  Dongran was taken aback, thinking he had heard wrong.

"What?"

   Tang Xian repeated again.

   "Elite-level boss creature, **** three-headed dog."
