Chapter 336 Water and Fire in Harmony: Plasma Vortex Cannon!

……

Tang Dynasty, Chang'an.

As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was a bustling metropolis where all nations paid tribute, a true center of the world.

Outside the city gate, Wu Wen and Master Zhu walked leisurely in.

“Ninth Master, it’s been more than a decade since we last came to Chang’an together!” Wu Wen said softly with a smile.

"Yes!" Master Zhu sighed with relief, "Time really flies; more than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye!"

As he spoke, Master Zhu smiled and looked at Wu Wen, teasingly saying, "I still remember the first time I brought you to Chang'an, your little eyes were looking around curiously, and you found everything new and interesting!"

"Hahaha!" Wu Wen laughed happily, "Back then, I really hadn't seen much of the world, and I was curious about everything!"

The two chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they were nearing the city gate.

Due to the large number of merchants coming and going, long queues had already formed at the city gate.

Wu Wen did not join the queue, but instead led Master Zhu directly to the entrance.

"Wait!"

Two city guards immediately stopped them.

Wu Wen casually lifted his shirt, revealing the waist badge at his waist. Upon seeing this, the two sharp-eyed city guards immediately made way respectfully.

"Ninth Master, let's go!"

"Ok!"

The two passed through the city gate and entered Chang'an City.

Master Zhu was immediately attracted by the bustling scene in the city.

He had not been to Chang'an for a long time, but he did not expect it to have changed so much. All sorts of strange and wonderful things were appearing one after another, which really broadened his horizons.

"Ninth Master, you look exactly the same as I did when I first came to Chang'an!"

Wu Wen's playful laughter reached his ears, and Master Zhu chuckled, "You little rascal!"

"However, Chang'an has changed so much that I almost don't recognize it!"

As the two walked forward, Master Zhu admired the surrounding scenery.

Although Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the things you see on the streets are not only strange and unique, but also full of exotic charm, making you feel as if you are in a foreign land.

"Wow, the world has changed so much, I almost don't recognize it anymore!"

After seeing everything, Master Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

His words were both a reflection on the changes in Chang'an and a reflection on the rapid changes in the Tang Dynasty in recent years.

"Baiweilou!"

It was nearing noon.

Wu Wen and Master Zhu arrived at the most bustling market town in Chang'an, in front of the most luxurious restaurant.

"Ninth Master, let's go inside and rest for a bit, and have something to eat!" Wu Wen suggested.

"Okay!" Master Zhu nodded.

The two walked towards the restaurant.

As soon as you approach the entrance, a waiter greets you with a smile.

"Two guests, please come in!"

"Find us a quiet private room!" Wu Wen said casually.

"I'm sorry, sirs, we're all full and no rooms are available right now. Would you two like to dine in?" the waiter said apologetically.

Wu Wen turned his head and glanced at Master Zhu.

Master Zhu replied, "That's fine, find us a seat by the window."

"Alright, sir, please follow me!"

The waiter led the way, and Wu Wen and Master Zhu walked up the stairs to a window seat on the second floor.

"Sir, please take a seat."

"What would you two like to eat?"

"What special delicacies do you have here?" Wu Wen asked.

"This must be your first time visiting Baiweilou," the waiter said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Master Zhu asked.

"Nowadays in Chang'an, everyone who has been to my Baiweilou Restaurant knows that our signature delicacies are made from rare and exotic animals!"

The waiter replied with a hint of pride:

"My Baiweilou restaurant is named after the delicacies made from a hundred kinds of exotic animals."

As he spoke, the waiter began to recite the names of the dishes to Wu Wen and Master Zhu.

"Steamed White Spirit Fish, a rare beast caught in the Jing River in Chang'an. This White Spirit Fish is extremely delicious, the flesh melts in your mouth, and especially its two pairs of spirit eyes, which are said to improve eyesight after eating it!"

"Fennel-stewed pork, made from the hind leg meat of the exotic blue-haired dog, stewed with fennel, is incredibly fragrant, and it's especially good for replenishing energy!"

"Charcoal-roasted yang root, also made from the penis of a blue-haired dog, is roasted with spices such as dog spine. The taste is not just fragrant, but also has the benefits of nourishing yin and strengthening yang!"

"..."

The waiter rattled off a hundred dishes in one breath, with as many as thirty of them featuring exotic beasts as the main ingredients.

These special dishes not only make the most of these exotic beasts, but each dish also has a unique effect. They are not just simple dishes, but more like medicinal cuisine.

Therefore, Wu Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: When it comes to food, the descendants of Emperor Yan really spare no effort.

"Ninth Master, what would you like to eat?"

"I'll just order whatever!" Master Zhu was already dizzy from the hundred and varied dishes, and he didn't know which ones to order.

Wu Wen didn't dwell on what to eat, so he said to the waiter, "Bring us six of your best dishes!" "Sure thing!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter responded happily, and then asked, "The six best dishes at my Baiwei Restaurant require a total of 1,700 merit points."

"But I wonder if you two are trading with civil merit points or military merit points?"

The so-called civil merit value and military merit value are contribution values ​​of the Tang Dynasty created by the imperial court!
Wu Wen handed over the "Heavenly Constitution" for the formulation of the virtual space to Li Shimin.

After discussing with his ministers, he devised a merit point system to further consolidate his power, with separate points for civil and military officials.

The greatest use of these merit points is that they can be used to offset merits against demerits!
It can be said that the real purpose of Li Shimin and his court officials playing this game was to bring out the class hierarchy.

Wu Wen was naturally aware of this.

But he did not intervene.

For Wu Wen now, he prefers to see everything unfold naturally.

If he interferes too much, then everything will develop around his thoughts and ideas, which is not what Wu Wen wants.

It can be said that as long as the virtual space exists, Wu Wen will hardly interfere with any development.

"Use Wenxun Points!" Wu Wen replied to the waiter.

For others, merit points are earned by making contributions to the imperial court, but for Wu Wen, merit points are just a string of numbers.

In the virtual space, under the regulations of Tianxian, Wu Wen paid Baiweilou 1,700 Wenxun points.

After confirming receipt, the shop assistant immediately jogged away.

But he quickly returned, carrying a wooden tray with two small bowls on it.

"Esteemed guests, the dishes will take a little while to arrive. You may first enjoy the complimentary dessert offered by Baiweilou: Ice Crystal Rice Cakes!"

As he spoke, the waiter placed two small bowls in front of Wu Wen and Master Zhu respectively.

Wu Wen looked down at the contents of the bowl.

These are white, tender, and very elastic crystal cake-like snacks.

Wu Wen immediately recognized what was in the bowl.

It's actually a type of glutinous rice cake made by pounding tapioca flour. It's topped with a layer of honey and sprinkled with a few dried osmanthus flowers for decoration, making it look very elegant.

Wu Wen and Master Zhu simultaneously picked up a piece with their chopsticks, put it in their mouths, and chewed and tasted it.

"Mmm, it tastes good!" Master Zhu had never eaten such exquisite snacks before, and he nodded repeatedly because they were so delicious.

"Please enjoy your meal, esteemed guests!" The waiter retreated again, ready to serve Wu Wen his dishes at any moment.

After finishing the icy glutinous rice cake in a few bites, Wu Wen and Master Zhu waited for the food to be served while glancing at the bustling street outside the restaurant.

Before long, the once bustling street suddenly became chaotic.

The reason was that the three people suddenly started fighting in the crowd, and the people around them immediately stepped aside to make room for the three to fight, while the others watched the spectacle with great interest.

"You surnamed Han, we've always treated you like a brother, and you actually betrayed us!"

"Second brother, third brother, I'm only thinking of you!"

"fart!"

With just a few simple words, the three hot-tempered individuals started fighting.

The general outline of the matter was then made clear to the onlookers.

These three were originally brothers, but for some unknown reason, the eldest brother betrayed the second and third brothers.

So the three brothers broke apart, with the second and third brothers joining forces to deal with the eldest brother.

From the second-floor window of Baiweilou, Wu Wen watched with great interest as the three people below fought.

Among the three brothers, the eldest, surnamed Han, is a normal genetically evolved individual.

However, in addition to his strong physical abilities, he also possesses powerful martial arts skills, making him far stronger than the second and third brothers.

But his two brothers are no ordinary men either.

Both of them are mutants, possessing a unique ability.

And coincidentally, the second and third brothers possessed skills related to water and fire, respectively.

Unfortunately, although both of them possessed special abilities, the leader, with the support of martial arts, easily suppressed them.

In just a short while, he defeated both of them and knocked them to the ground.

"Second brother, third brother, give up! You two are no match for me!"

The eldest brother, surnamed Han, looked down at the two men with an arrogant air and spoke.

The two men who had fallen to the ground were filled with resentment. They then looked at each other, understood each other, and stood up side by side.

"You, surnamed Han, you forced us into this!" Both men's faces showed a fierce look as they spoke.

Then, at the same time, they activated their own special abilities.

Fire and water help each other!

The two people's superpowers merged together, and a dazzling white light shot towards the leader surnamed Han.

Their leader was completely unaware, or perhaps didn't know that his two brothers possessed a combination technique.

The moment it was attacked, its body was completely dissolved, leaving only a skeleton!
After unleashing this move, the two brothers seemed completely drained, collapsing limply to the ground.

Everyone present stared at them in shock.

When Wu Wen saw what had just happened from the second-floor window, a smile crept onto his lips.

Water and fire combine to create a plasma vortex cannon!

Fire energy is converted into water energy, launching plasma channels; water energy is converted into fire energy, injecting into superfluid vortices. The combination of fire and water releases ultra-high temperature plasma vortices with tremendous power.

"I never imagined that superpowers had been developed to this level."
