Liu Qi sized up Yang Tao.
He looked to be in his early twenties, and Liu Qi, holding Han Duoduo's hand, walked directly up to Yang Tao.
"Are you my grandfather's friend?"
Liu Qi highly suspected that Yang Tao was a pervert trying to hit on his sister, as it was normal for 'mutants' to appear in the oppressive environment of the Underground City.
Yang Tao calmly picked up the 'beer' on the table, looked at Liu Qi, who was much more composed than in the movie, and nodded slightly, saying, "I've known your grandfather since I was a child. Oh, and I also know your father, Liu Peiqiang. He may not have been a good father, but he was a hero."
There was nothing wrong with that statement.
A Chinese Odyssey, Fight Back to School... almost 80% of Stephen Chow's movies featured Ng Man-tat.
He had also watched many of Wu Jing's movies.
Liu Qi was stunned when Yang Tao mentioned Liu Peiqiang's name, and then his mood became a bit low. However, feeling the strength from Han Duoduo's hand, he looked back at her and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Can we sit here?"
"No problem, but... You'll have to order the skewers yourself. I have some special circumstances here, so I can't treat you to a meal."
Liu Qi nodded slightly, pulled his sister to sit opposite Yang Tao, and shouted to the busy boss, "Brother Cheng, forty skewers, and two more glasses of juice."
"Alright!"
The boss's voice came from a distance.
Han Duoduo, with wide, curious eyes, looked at Yang Tao and asked, "What's your name? You look like you're only in your twenties. How could you know Hukou's dad?"
Hukou was Liu Qi's nickname.
Yang Tao reached out, took out a business card, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it towards Han Duoduo, saying, "This is my business card."
"Liu Peiqiang... that's a long story, so let's not talk about it for now."
Han Duoduo: "..."
She picked up the business card from the table: "Yang Tao..."
Yang Tao smiled and nodded in response, then picked up the 'beer' and took a sip. To his surprise, the taste of this stuff was actually good.
It was just a small amount.
Picking up a skewer of earthworm and tasting it carefully, Liu Qi asked, "Brother, you should be about my age. How come I haven't seen you in this area before?"
"I just arrived today."
At this moment, the boss brought a small bucket and placed it on the table, filled with roasted earthworms.
"Liu Qi, you haven't been here in a long time."
Liu Qi said with a smile, "I've been busy studying. I'll graduate next year."
Brother Cheng looked at Liu Qi with a puzzled expression and said, "You're a privileged household, you don't have to go to the surface. The surface is too dangerous."
"Someone has to go, right?"
The boss heard Liu Qi's words and suddenly laughed, "You, you have high awareness. Alright, hurry up and eat while it's hot."
With that, the boss turned and left.
At this moment, Lu Yun returned from outside and was stunned to see Liu Qi and Han Duoduo sitting opposite Yang Tao: "You know each other?"
"We just met."
Yang Tao glanced at the returning Lu Yun, eating while observing the bustling hall outside, wondering what it would be like if his first world wasn't the Backrooms, but Wandering Earth.
After experiencing so many worlds, his way of thinking was completely different from when he started.
He picked up the beer and took a sip.
"2500 years... 100 generations..."
Lu Yun heard Yang Tao's murmur and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Lu Yun also knew Liu Qi. The two chatted for a while, and after Yang Tao finished his 'beer', he said, "I'm full, let's go."
"Okay..."
Bidding farewell to Liu Qi and Han Duoduo, Yang Tao and Lu Yun walked outside.
"Where to?"
"First, show me around, then go to the lowest level of the Underground City."
Lu Yun asked doubtfully, "The lowest level? That's the sewer, full of domestic wastewater. Do you want to live there?"
Yang Tao had indeed intended to find a place on the lowest level to open up a new space, but hearing Lu Yun's words, he immediately dismissed the idea.
"Uh... just show me around first."
...
The Underground City did not have clear divisions, but the residential areas were relatively uniform.
Following Lu Yun, he arrived at his home.
Cramped.
This was Yang Tao's first impression upon entering Lu Yun's home. Overall, it looked to be only about ten square meters.
Aside from a bed and a table, there was only a bathroom. Although cramped, it wasn't messy. Small items were neatly arranged, indicating that Lu Yun was clearly someone who loved life.
Lu Yun smiled helplessly and said, "Please, make yourself at home. Usually, no one comes to my house as a guest."
Yang Tao sat on the only stool in the room and said, "Honestly, the room is quite exquisite. Are you hungry now? Do you want something to eat?"
Lu Yun heard 'eat'.
He unconsciously began to salivate and said, "Hmm, if possible, I'd like to taste meat."
"Since this is Beijing, then I invite you to try Beijing Roast Duck, and then drink some tea to cut the grease."
The food inside Pam's Harvestcraft was incredibly diverse.
After Yang Tao took out Beijing Roast Duck and its accompanying condiments from his backpack and placed them on the table, a green light truly flashed in Lu Yun's eyes.
"Try it."
This young man, born in the Brake Era, immediately burst into tears.
He reached out a trembling hand towards the roast duck.
"It's... it's real..."
"It's real, hurry up and try it."
Yang Tao didn't find Lu Yun's reaction exaggerated at all. If it were him, he would have pounced on it and taken a few big bites by now. The fact that the other party went for the spring pancakes first already showed his strong will.
"The plate... the plate disappeared..."
After Lu Yun finished the roast duck, he stared blankly at the empty table. If it weren't for the oil on his hands and his full stomach, he would have suspected that everything just now was an illusion.
Looking at the bewildered other party.
Yang Tao said with a smile, "What, you still want to wash the dishes? It's fine once the meat is eaten."
"I'll trouble you with the identity matter."
Lu Yun nodded slightly, then asked curiously, "You... if you're a transmigrator, then what's your ability? Transforming food?"
"Something like that..."
He looked at the situation inside the room, then pointed at the wall and said, "What's behind this?"
"Nothing... just a wall."
"You step back a bit, I'll expand the room."
With that, Yang Tao took out a diamonds drill from his backpack. Seeing this, Lu Yun quickly said, "There might be water behind the wall..."
"Water? magma is fine too."
With that, Yang Tao pressed the switch and pressed it against the wall.
Buzzing...
Buzzing...
The concrete wall was very hard, but it was still no match for the diamonds drill.
The sturdy wall was like a tofu-dreg project. Yang Tao quickly entered the rock behind the wall.
Soon, a space nearly a hundred square meters appeared behind Lu Yun's room.
Taking out the Building Staff and waving it gently, the entire space was covered with Nether Quartz blocks.
Some glowstone was dotted on the ceiling, illuminating the surrounding environment. Then, he took out some dirt from a corner of the space and spread it on the ground, placing [Earthworms] on top.
The earthworms, originally thinner than chopsticks, had become finger-thick and half a meter long after being digitized.
As soon as it appeared, it arched its body and wriggled on the dirt.
[Earthworm]
Farming: Every 65 seconds, there is a 55% chance to cultivate dirt and grass blocks into farmland.
Keep Moist: Every 65 seconds, there is a 55% chance to turn unmoistened farmland into moist farmland.
Promote Growth: Every 65 seconds, there is a 5% chance to give crops an additional block update opportunity.
It's unknown if this earthworm came with a lucky effect, but the dirt quickly turned into a moist patch of farmland.
He planted a tomato seedling.
After finishing all of this, Yang Tao looked at Lu Yun, who was dumbfounded at the doorway.
"See, my ability is pretty good, isn't it?"
