Chapter 1796 Familiar Team
"The heat of war, the blessing of the wolf god."
"The brave hero Adal, raised the spear of hope."
"The red flood washed away the homeland, the hero had no anger or despair, and crossed the light of the long night."
As soon as he walked into the tavern, Lu Ping'an heard a rhythmic roar of beasts.
Listening carefully, it seems to be another heroic epic.
In fact, some of the "stories" and "records" collected by Lu Ping'an's team these days are similar things.
There are no words here, but there are all kinds of strange ballads and poems.
And most of them are stories about a hero. It seems that the civilization here is very fond of powerful personal legends.
"Here, here, too slow meow!"
At one of the tables, a standard adventure team is completing the assembly.
Among them, there is a cat hunter with an unhappy face. She has been waiting for too long and her two tails are weakly sweeping the ground, which has attracted the attention of others. In this world, the tail, claws and ears are equivalent to a person's face. Such a cat sweeping the floor with a listless tail is equivalent to wiping the floor with its face. Even if it is a beauty, it has caused a lot of discussion.
"I've already rushed here overnight."
Lu Ping'an walked over, found a mushroom chair and sat down, and said hello to the other two members of the "team".
"Tiger Man" Xia Qin smiled and handed over the menu.
Lu Ping'an took a look and almost burst out laughing at the overly abstract paintings on it. They should be hand-painted by the owner of this shop.
All kinds of sloppy food sketches, abstract but realistic, at least the cartoon meat with obvious muscle fibers made Lu Ping'an drool a little.
"Then, some meat, this, this. Don't want these, but give me one of the others."
The shop only has a few kinds of food and drinks, but Lu Ping'an is a little interested in them.
Fruits and vegetables, meat are the basis, and animals and plants are always the basis of the ecological chain cycle, and those strange juices, roots, and even roasted minerals all make Lu Ping'an a little interested.
What makes Lu Ping'an most happy about becoming a transcendent is probably that he doesn't have to worry about not being able to eat, especially many exotic delicacies can not only bring a stable improvement in the basic quality of the gourmet profession, but also make him enjoy the deliciousness more.
"You don't eat bugs either?"
"No."
The only thing Lu Ping'an didn't want to touch was all kinds of crustaceans and arthropods.
No matter if it was a bug or not, as long as it looked like one, Lu Ping'an didn't want to touch it. After all, he had the experience of being attacked by an American cockroach on the face, and was chased by the Abyss Zerg in the wilderness.
As soon as he landed, Lu Ping'an subconsciously touched the fur of the "Tiger Girl" next to him. Then Xia Qin glared at him unhappily.
"You touch a fake one?"
"Hehe, this is why women don't understand bunny girls and anti-bunny girls. Fake ones are better. I can't stand too much beastiness."
"Pervert."
"Isn't this what you like?"
She was glanced at charmingly again, and was twisted under the table. Compared with those years, Xia Qin became more mature.
"Can you two stop being so cheesy? I'm still alone."
Miss Lu said unhappily. As an "ordinary scholar" who devotes most of her time to academics to make up for her inherent deficiencies and avoid falling behind, she works overtime for 20 hours a day, so she is naturally alone.
This time, her disguise is also the most perfunctory. She just glued two long ears and a tail that can't stand up. Although passers-by may seem a little disgusted, considering that she has become too lazy to put on makeup and dress up after the third month, she is just like this on weekdays, so she naturally doesn't care about other people's opinions.
Now, she pouted and looked at the "current" parents-in-law, feeling very unhappy.
"Why, unhappy? I want to pull you out to the sun, otherwise you will get moldy."
It's not that Miss Lu really has any grudges against this party, but she was originally very happy to work overtime, but was pulled here to do exploration work.
"Don't be so irritable, thousands of books and thousands of miles, you also need materials for research."
For the irritable old sister who was pulled out to bask in the sun, Lu Ping'an was very calm to persuade.
"I can just wait for the materials to be delivered to my door in the lab, why do I have to go to the front line to find the materials myself?!"
Miss Lu has long braids and black-framed glasses. It's not that her aesthetics are biased, but she is too lazy to take care of it.
She looks completely different now than when she was in school. Some people become more mature and charming the more they know themselves, while others look more like boys in a dormitory.
Especially her best friend Hua Xueyi, who looks like a golden angel, with a clear contrast.
"That's because we need a pharmacist who can identify the materials and turn them directly into experimental potions."
The last person in the team, Hua Xueyi, said angrily. In fact, she was the one who pulled Miss Lu out, and she didn't indulge her when she saw Lu Lulu wanted to complain.
"Don't mention other people. Are you better than Senior Sister Rou? She would be paralyzed when she's not in the lab. They might not have noticed if you weren't here."
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm at the rule level after all, although I'm a bit new."
The relationship between the two is as good as ever, and this time, it was Hua Xueyi who dragged her bestie out to bask in the sun.
The main task of the exploration team sent out now is not only to collect various social and personnel intelligence, but also to conduct on-site analysis of various specialties.
One of the most important tasks is to analyze the local flora and fauna, especially the various potions that need to be produced locally, which require professional potion masters to go on-site to explore.
The most outstanding potion master in the Rebirth Merchant Group is Miss Rou. Her work cannot be completed at all. In fact, Lu Pingping can also do this. Bringing Miss Lu along will only make her more professional.
Being dragged out was mainly because Hua Xueyi really suspected that there was something wrong with her best friend.
Hua Xueyi, Xia Qin, Miss Lu, Maomao and Lu Ping'an, who formed the temporary team this time, did not come with them this time, mainly because the headquarters needed people to guard it.
Although they all wore some disguises, it was just enough to prevent the locals from being disgusted. They did not hide their identity as outsiders, but to the locals, it was just another batch of relatively rare subspecies.
"I seem to have seen seventeen subspecies along the way, including werewolves, camel people, rabbit people, etc. Most of them are species that cannot be distinguished."
"We have seen more than 30 species. It is meaningless to subdivide them. There are many mixed races. By the way, there seems to be no reproductive isolation between us and them. This is a quite strong mixed race."
This was expected news, and Lu Ping'an even felt that the bard and rabbit dancer not far away had some delicate features.
This may be the result of pheromones, or it may be an instinctive choice of the body.
"What is our mission this time?"
Maomao is a little curious. It's not that she is very diligent in going to work, but based on her past experience of being lazy, if she wants to be happy, she must get rid of the work in front of her as soon as possible.
Especially when Lu Pingan himself takes action, he is usually an efficient man who gets straight to the point, and Lu Pingan is also a good boss. As long as things are done well, he doesn't care whether you are paid to fish or not.
"This mission? No, we know better than knowing nothing about the world. How can we decide on long-term development goals? This time, we just want to look around."
As the leader, Lu Ping'an can certainly sit in the office and wait for reports.
But as far as his past operations were concerned, if he really waited for reports before making decisions, God knows what kind of joke he would make in the end.
".I need more knowledge. Can you provide me with the most authentic feedback?"
After listening to it, it becomes clear that Lu Pingan never thinks that what he sees is everything. To make development decisions for a large group, he needs feedback from all parties and everyone from different perspectives.
The team in front of him may not be all of them, but they are indeed his most trusted friends. At least, they will not give Lu Ping'an false information and opinions because of their different status.
