Is it really okay to click on the Starry Sky technology tree in Star Railway?

"That piece of wood is really tall! We were all shocked when we saw it at the ferry. Even Miss Qingdun couldn't tell what it was. Fortunately, Miss Tingyun recognized it and said it was a treasure that Luofu was once proud of, an ancient tree called 'Jianmu'!"

San Yueqi forgot the embarrassment of half an hour ago and talked about Jianmu on the sea of ​​clouds with relish.

"It is indeed called Jianmu, and it is closely related to some of the pains that the Immortal Boat once suffered." Chen Lin had heard a lot about the ancient stories of the Immortal Boat from Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan, and the introductions were much more detailed.

He looked at the sky outside the window, where he could vaguely glimpse the sight of countless trees climbing to the top of the sky.

Only Qingque was surprised and a little excited.

"It's fine that Lao Chen has read a lot of ancient books and knows a lot, but are the people at the Tianbosi so knowledgeable about history? That's amazing. In my stereotype, they only know how to stop speeding star ships and entertain foreign merchant groups all day long...

"Except for history enthusiasts, almost no one in the new generation knows about Jianmu. I never thought that there are people in Tianbosi who are so interested in history! I will go and get to know them someday. Maybe I can find a game that is more interesting than Diyuan Qiongyu."

Chapter 174 Do you like tea?

Chen Lin was stunned as he looked at the beautiful scenery of ancient trees outside the window.

"Aren't there a lot of records about Jianmu? To the point where almost no one in the younger generation knows about it?"

According to his understanding, there are history courses among the many subjects in Xianzhou, which should record the history of Xianzhou's travel to the interstellar space and all major events, including major inventions, political changes and even wars.

The origin of Jianmu is the blessing of the fertile star god, who is despised by the Xianzhou as the 'ancestor of longevity, plague and disaster'. Jingyuan told him that when Jianmu was full of vitality, everyone in the Xianzhou devoured the fruit of Jianmu and obtained the power of immortality that most people envied.

The current Xianzhou people are all descendants of the Xianzhou people who once ate the Jianmu fruit. Naturally, they inherited the immortality power of their parents, and everyone is immortal.

Walter was also full of confusion. They had never had the chance to get to know the things here properly since they came to Xianzhou. The problem was that Jianmu was different. Such a huge piece of dead wood pierced the sky. Even a fool could see some clues.

If children don’t understand, they will naturally ask their elders or teachers. Books must have relevant records about such ancient objects.

"Look, the street below us is packed with people. If you don't believe me, Old Chen, go and ask a few people. The most you'll get are answers like 'I'm tired of seeing it on my way to get off work,' 'Isn't it just there?' 'It's just a rotten piece of wood, I don't know.'"

Qingque looked a little regretful. She muttered, "Otherwise, those ancient historical books wouldn't have been reprinted by publishing houses. The Taibusi library has a lot of these books that no one wants. Even if I take a few back with me, I don't need to keep any records because no one reads them."

After being demoted to be in charge of the library for so long, Qingque has already figured out all the rules and regulations of the library.

To put it simply, important books cannot be taken without authorization, let alone read. For more taboo books, borrowing notes must be made. Except for a few Xianzhou officials, no one else can read them even if they have made sufficient borrowing notes.

Other common books are bought and sold in the bookstore. Regardless of whether they are hot-selling or unpopular, Taibusi will purchase multiple copies. If there are a few copies of this type of books missing occasionally, you can just apply for them and get them back. At most, you will get a few words from your boss when you report the losses at the end of the year, but it's nothing serious.

The least popular books were about Jianmu. Popular books were boring and even she felt sleepy. The plots of the slightly easier-to-write novels were a bit outdated. The author wrote them hundreds of years ago and they were not in line with the current trend of immortal boats. When the Taibu Division filled the library, they purchased a large number of books from street vendors and bookstores. The total amount was enough to fill a small room. They were so tattered that the administrators were too lazy to sort them out and renovate them.

Those with more details are considered important books. In order to prevent someone from developing an envy of immortality through these official historical materials and violating the taboos and laws of Xianzhou, apart from administrators like them, only the bigwigs of the six departments can borrow and copy these books under certain conditions.

"First of all, pursuing immortality in the Immortal Boat is an extremely serious crime. If Luofu had not been recuperating in recent years and needed a large number of laborers and foreign trade, many foreigners who came here to seek immortality would have been punished or repatriated long ago."

Qingque shrugged her jade-like shoulders. "Even the people of the Immortal Boat deliberately hide things, so how can the foreigners know about them? Because of this, many foreigners are defrauded again and again by fraud gangs under the pretext of immortality, and in the end they lose both their money and their bodies. It's really sad."

There was no mercy in her eyes. As a normal Xianzhou person, the education she received from childhood to adulthood was enough to make everyone feel extremely disgusted with "evil creatures". Although Fu Xuan said that Qingque had a casual personality, he never denied Qingque's judgment of the right and wrong of Xianzhou. He was even able to be the focus of Fu Xuan's training, which proved that Qingque's values ​​were at least fine.

Qingque raised his hand and said, "For example, in the eyes of the Xianzhou people, those who desire to pursue immortality can be regarded as traitors who are in league with the enemy, and many outsiders with ill intentions have the same purpose. If they fail, it's fine. If they succeed and get the gift of abundance, the Xianzhou will hunt them down to the ends of the earth and will not give up. The curse of the ancestor of plague and longevity almost caused the Xianzhou to fall apart in three abundant wars, and the most recent one was less than 30 years ago. Therefore, those who are in league with the ancestor of plague and longevity will be regarded as enemies by the Xianzhou."

“I see.” Walter nodded and said, “I had only heard of some of the deeds of the Immortal Boat Alliance. I didn’t expect that the blessing of the God of Abundance would bring such a huge disaster to the Immortal Boat Alliance. This is enough to explain the Immortal Boat Alliance’s patrol of the star sea.”

"During the second abundant war a thousand years ago, according to historical records, 'millions of immortal boat people's bones were exposed in the wilderness'. The abundant order almost destroyed the Yuque Immortal Boat. If it weren't for the company's help, the current Immortal Boat Alliance might have lost another member."

When talking about the history of Xianzhou, Qingque could easily retell what was recorded in history books in just a few sentences. He also gave the train crew a general understanding of the grievances and hatreds between Xianzhou and Fengrao, and explained why Xianzhou was attacked by the people of Fengrao in the early days because of its extreme advocacy of peace.

If it weren't for the pressure from the rich people, the fairy boat wouldn't have appeared like the Yaoqing fairy boat with such abundant martial virtues as it is now.

Truly patrol the starry sky all the time, finding ways to hunt down the rich evil creatures.

The dispute between the two has long since evolved from a struggle for interests to a family feud and national hatred.

Xianzhou's historical education also changed from comprehensive recording to emphasis on description. No one dared to mention the origin and function of Jianmu at all, so as to prevent people from having evil thoughts and repeating the tragic past.

"That's why it's so rare." Qingque muttered, "Even my colleagues don't know much about this history. The younger generation who can talk about it are all history enthusiasts. I'll go talk to Miss Tingyun when I have time! It's also good to have more people who share the same interests in Tianbosi. At least there will be someone to help cancel the ticket when speeding."

"This is your real purpose, Miss Qingque..." Sanyueqi was speechless.

Qingque scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "The main thing is that I heard that Miss Tingyun often goes out with the merchant group. It must be boring for me to find ideas. Why not bring a few sets of Emperor Yuan Qiongyu with me? Then I can teach wherever I go, so that everyone in the universe can have free time to steal and everyone can catch fish. How great!"

"Then you have to work hard." Chen Lin joked, "Tingyun may be able to help you earn some extra money. No matter what you do in the future, you will never lack money for the rest of your life and achieve financial freedom directly."

"Hey, that stuff is easy to earn." Qingque waved his hands, looking like he didn't care at all, "I'm not interested in those yellow and white things. As for money, isn't it enough as long as it's enough?"

This behavior made Chen Lin wonder if Qingque was a hidden rich woman.

If this thing is given to those capitalists to operate a little, it can be made into something genuine, limited edition, and exquisitely packaged like a gift box.

If there is still development value, add some board game modes, make some special skill cards, and finally integrate it into package sales, and Qingque can easily become one of the richest people in Luofu.

He can think of all these things. If Qingque is interested and just thinks about it a little, he can probably do something more comprehensive than me.

It seems that she really just wants to take it easy and doesn't want to make money from capital.

Chen Lin nodded. Qingque’s mind was truly clear and pure. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have contacted the other party.

"How about this, Greenbird."

"Ok?"

Qingque looked back at Chen Lin in confusion, "What's wrong, Old Chen?"

"How is the skill of your friend who can make Emperor Yuan Qiong Yu?"

When it comes to having fun, Chen Lin actually knows quite a few ways to play, and he doesn't need any electronic devices to play. Similar to Di Yuan Qiong Yu, he can start the game even with only two people.

Chen Lin glanced at her and said, "Do you want more entertainment?"

Qingque's eyes lit up and he realized what Chen Lin meant. He patted his chest, which was barely curved, to make a promise.

"Old Chen, just say it. My friend may not be good at other things, but he is the best in Xianzhou when it comes to handicrafts!"

"Look, let's make a table with squares carved on it, and put some positive and negative events and various organizations in each square. Then... make a few wooden sculptures of characters to act as players. To move around, we can use a cube with numbers carved on each face. You take a few steps based on the number you throw..."

After a while, Chen Lin drew a design on the white paper on the coffee table. Qingque became more and more interested as he listened. There were even some things that Chen Lin didn't even have time to say, but Qingque had already thought of what was missing.

"Can we also add some positive or negative props that players can hold to compete?"

"Yes! Absolutely." Chen Lin was a little surprised that this girl was so talented in playing entertainment games.

"If it's designed this way, a turn-based system would be better, and we could also design something that allows failed players to continue to participate, like this... like this..."

The two of them completed the design drawing one by one. Looking at the things on the drawing, Chen Lin was silent.

He originally just wanted to replicate Monopoly for Qingque to entertain himself, but with Qingque's localized transformation and suggestions, this materialistic board game directly became a showdown between Xianzhou and Fengraomin.

In addition to the existing 'money', there is an additional 'manpower'. Buying and selling plots of land has become a matter of occupying planets and recruiting soldiers. Companies are also designed to lend money to players. Stepping on enemy plots will not only lose money but also manpower.

It seems that Qingque is already fully familiar with the rules of this unfinished game. Relying on years of experience in playing cards in his spare time, Qingque believes that this game is very playable. Even if you want to carry it with you, it is easy. You only need to make the game map with cloth or other easy-to-carry materials.

"Old Chen! Let me write the event!" Qingque asked for advice excitedly.

Chen Lin nodded with a wry smile. This game was given to you to play. Just have fun.

"Okay, okay, but you have to strike a balance. It's easy to get bored with an unfair game."

"Hey! I have experience, don't worry."

The rules are simple, the game is highly random, and there is a clear purpose of winning or losing between players. It is easy to make and carry.

There is no doubt that Qingque believes that as long as he works a little harder and perfects the details of this game called "Hunting War", it will definitely become the second Emperor Yuan Qiong Yu of Xianzhou!

If Qingque used to think that Chen Lin and she were just close friends who had met too late, and that Chen Lin was a big shot but had no airs at all and was willing to get along with her peacefully, then now the way she looked at Chen Lin was no different from looking at a brother for life and death.

Everyone likes to slack off and everyone will think of ways to kill time when slacking off. Everyone has come up with a small game to use when slacking off.

and so……

Lao Chen = me

Chen Lin avoided Qingque's burning gaze with some fear. He knew what this guy wanted to do, so he said helplessly: "Make this game first. Next time, I will teach you to make a prosperous card game. I have already thought of a name, it's called 'Xianzhou Sha'. Re-enact the historical roles of Xianzhou and Fengraomin, design battles with skills or identity battles."

"Okay, okay, I'll contact my friend right away to start working on this game."

Qingque took the drawings and refined them, designing several different maps. It was said that they were designed with reference to the situation and territory at the time of the War of Abundance. No one understood these things, and Chen Lin naturally couldn't help much since he hadn't read the battle reports and strategic maps.

After doing all this, Qingque felt so good.

"How about this, I'll treat you tonight and take you out to eat delicious food! Ordinary people can't find those special food treasures, they are hidden in the alleys. Unless you are a local who is interested in this, even if you have lived in Xianzhou for more than ten or twenty years, you don't know the exact location."

When they heard someone was treating them to a delicious meal, no one refused.

Qingque went to perfect the rules of the game first, while the others took a rest or looked at the sea until the afternoon.

Under the red light, it was already evening, and Qingque set off with everyone on time.

San Yue Qi was like a curious baby. When she saw something she had never seen before, she would go up to take photos with it. She also often dragged other people to be photo subjects, and even Qingque could not escape her hands.

"Linlin, look at this building, it's so tall, what are they selling here?" Xing asked Chen Lin, who was only a head taller than her.

Chen Lin stopped to take a look and judged: "Teahouse, a place that sells tea. There are many such shops in Xianzhou. I have been there. If you are interested, you can come and experience it after dinner."

"Come and try it! It's settled. I'll treat you." Xing nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.

At this time, a charming fox waitress wearing an exquisite and special cheongsam saw the few people who stopped in front of the teahouse.

After hearing the conversation between Chen Lin and Xing, she turned her eyes to Xing. She always felt that this girl looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere.

However, they also get a commission for soliciting business, so they hurriedly came up and asked, "Do you two need to reserve a seat? Our store can reserve a seat for you to prevent customers who come here to taste tea from being disappointed."

Chapter 175: Do You Want to Be an Ambassador?

Chen Lin thought about it and thought it would be okay to make a reservation first, so he said, "Then let's reserve five seats. How is the consumption here?"

"Here is the menu, you can take a look first."

Chen Lin was stunned after taking the menu. The price difference between the various types of tea was too exaggerated.

The cheapest ones only cost a few hundred credit points per pot, while the most expensive ones require hundreds of thousands of credit points!

Even Chen Lin couldn't help but be amazed.

What kind of tea can be so expensive?

"Why are these 'Winter Tenderness' and 'Summer Refreshment' so expensive?"

The fox waiter's expression remained unchanged as he politely explained, "This is the health-preserving tea of ​​our Tianshui Pavilion. It is especially suitable for... several young masters. It is only suitable for male guests. It can effectively promote digestion after a meal. It is a bit expensive, but the service is very thoughtful. It is usually served on the third floor or above."

"How thoughtful?"

"That depends on what kind of tea you ordered, please take a look.

"The best-selling tea in our store is this pot of health tea called 'Dream Memory'. Compared with the two health teas you just mentioned, which only last for a moment, the price is slightly higher, but the duration is long enough, a full half an hour, which will definitely make you enjoy it to your heart's content.

"The pot at the back is called 'Xianrenlv'. It is the most expensive and has the most thoughtful service. It is staffed with three professional tea artists to bring the best experience to customers.

"Each health tea ceremony is equipped with an independent tea ceremony room. Our specially designed tea ceremony room can isolate the outside world to the greatest extent. The tea art master arranged here has superb skills and is also very famous in Changletian. It is rated as: brewing tea and boiling water, sipping and drinking plum blossoms, being clever and lovable.

"You can relax on the couch and enjoy the feeling of being in heaven, or you can experience making tea with the tea artist around the stove. You can also chat with the tea artist about life, taste tea and listen to music. Everything depends on your interest."

The fox waiter who was soliciting customers explained it in great detail and conciseness, giving a strange feeling as if he had said something and yet it seemed as if he had not said anything.

Xing didn't quite understand the explanation just now, he just thought it was very impressive, and didn't notice that Chen Lin's expression next to him gradually became subtle, and his eyes drifted away.

Walter seemed to want to say something, but was very hesitant. He stretched out his hand and quickly retracted it. He could only stand there in a daze and turned his head to the side silently. The two of them moved almost in unison, which could be described as tacit understanding.

However, Chen Lin didn't know if he had seen it wrong. He seemed to see curiosity in Walter's eyes, as if he really wanted to know what was inside.

He had never seen a teahouse with oriental characteristics...

The scene came to a standstill in an instant. The more Qingque listened, the more she felt something was not right. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have heard a colleague make an appointment to go for tea tasting together when it was almost time to get off work, but ended up spending all his salary before he could even taste tea twice, and he even insisted that he would go for tea tasting again when he got his salary next month.

She had several friends who all liked drinking tea, and Qingque introduced them to each other. However, she didn't know why these two people with the same interests couldn't become friends at first, and she felt quite puzzled.

Take a look now.

These two groups of people are completely different in character, not even in type!

However, in order to better attract foreigners to invest, Xianzhou stipulated that this kind of business was legal in the early years.

Except for the people of Xianzhou themselves who cannot become senior tea artists, other foreigners who live in Xianzhou cannot do anything about it.

It's nothing strange when customers and store employees fall in love sometimes, right?

Qingque's eyes changed and he declined politely: "Sorry, we don't taste tea. We don't taste tea. We are sorry to bother you."

In fact, she was still wondering in her heart if this group of people were crazy. They didn't see that there were men and women among them, so how dare they come up to sell like this...

The fox waiter smiled and nodded. Just when Qingque was relieved, the fox waiter suddenly said, "Our store also provides other common teas, not just the ones mentioned above. We have many Xianzhou famous teas in stock. Customers can rest assured to look at and buy. Our unique purchasing channels will definitely make our prices at least 2% lower than those of our peers. Our store is a regular teahouse and will not eat up our customers."

With a smile on her face, she pulled out another menu from behind her back like a magician. The content on the menu was indeed normal, almost all of it introducing the origins and characteristics of various types of tea. The prices were not as exaggerated as before, which would have made people fantasize.

But when he said this, his eyes kept glancing at Chen Lin from time to time.
