Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#517 - A gathering of great forces

After the selection ended, everyone present was gathered again by Yuan Datou, including those who had been eliminated during the free-for-all. Not a single one was left out.

Then, food and wine were bestowed, and they made merry together.

Various hard dishes such as chicken, duck, fish, and meat were supplied almost without limit. A large number of seasonal vegetables and fruits were brought to the competition ground, regardless of labor and cost.

Only those who were seriously injured during the competition were temporarily treated by the medical team aside, but the subsequent medical expenses were still borne by Datou.

An insightful person could tell at a glance that the consumption of thousands of people like this must be a considerable expense, but Yuan Shikai himself had a ruddy complexion and a bright smile.

It was as if the scene of everyone drinking and eating meat in large bowls was not costing him money and food, but giving Yuan a lot of face.

From this, it can also be seen how much importance this person attached to the selection and recruitment of the gifted.

In addition, it can also reflect Yuan Datou's temperament to a certain extent.

He's really generous~!

I just don't know whether the expenses of everyone this time are from the private property of the Yuan family or from public taxes...

...

"Come, come, come~ Daoist Priest Liang, try this. This is a rare fruit that the people below managed to collect this year. Although it can't compare with those rare immortal spiritual objects, it can be regarded as a treasure of the mountains and fields.

Indeed, it is rare~!"

During the banquet, Liang Yue and the other twelve who stood out from the free-for-all had been specially invited to the main stage.

After a while, a plate of unusual fruit was brought to him.

If judged purely from the appearance, color, and smell, the fruit in the plate in front of him should undoubtedly be grapes.

But Liang Yue had seen round, flat, and long grapes, and had eaten soft and hard ones, but he had never seen anything like the one in front of him, each the size of a peach, and crystal clear.

So, he reached out and picked one from the bunch, held it in his palm, and squeezed it. It felt a little hard, so it should be the kind with firm flesh.

With one bite, the sweetness burst in his mouth, and there was a hint of sourness in the sweetness.

Based on Liang Yue's many years of experience in eating fruits, this thing is definitely wild...

It belongs to the kind that grows in the mountains and fields, and has formed a unique flavor after a long period of sunshine and rain.

It is a special product that fruits carefully cared for in fields do not have.

That is a pure sweetness that is not supplied and piled up with various sufficient nutrients. The ratio of sweetness to sourness is just right, as if it is full of a wild atmosphere!

Overall, the firm flesh of this fruit is similar to that of raisins, but the flavor is softer than that of grapes, plus the fruit itself has a diameter of seven or eight centimeters~

Although this is just an ordinary fruit, not even close to a spiritual species, if it can be carefully cultivated, it definitely has considerable economic value.

"Hmm~ Good stuff! This is the first time I've eaten this kind of grape."

"Haha, if Daoist Priest likes it, eat more. This kind of fruit was recently discovered in a remote corner of Ludong. The locals thought it tasted good, so they used it to pay taxes.

If Daoist Priest also thinks it's good, then we should cultivate this thing on a large scale. Maybe in the future, it can be used to benefit the people!"

"The President is far-sighted, and I really admire him."

"Daoist Priest, you flatter me. Being in this position, seeking welfare for the people and peace for the world is my duty."

(Regarding this fist-sized grape fruit, the author saw it on the Internet. I have forgotten the specific source, but I only remember that a Shandong netizen said that his grandmother or grandmother told him that there used to be such grapes growing on a cliff in his hometown. It was very delicious, but the locals wanted to transplant it but couldn't grow it. Later, during the war years, it was burned by the little devils.

Whether it is true or not, the author has not verified it, so let's just assume it is.)

...

A banquet did not last long. After all, this is a wilderness. Although the surrounding environment is not bad and there are many people on the scene, it is very lively after a few bowls of wine.

However, most of the people present are not idle people. After about an hour or so, after eating and drinking enough, everyone got up and left in groups of three or five.

During this period, Yuan Datou did not talk much about recruiting and serving him, presumably he himself felt that now was not the time.

Just like that, not to mention how the people in the arena will be arranged afterwards, Liang Yue directly used his lightness skill after leaving, and returned home in a while.

After the grapes were made into seeds, he distributed them to Teacher Jingxiang and Nana and others, asking them to return to the stronghold world to carefully plant them.

Liang Yue also plans to introduce this thing back to China after returning to reality.

It is best to contract a piece of land for large-scale planting...

In the following time, Liang Yue's life entered a period of calm again.

However, although it was calm, he and a group of young ladies around him were not idle.

After a round of high-intensity and continuous cracking, the intelligent brain Xiaowu finally got control of the Kryptonian spaceship.

At the first time the spaceship was opened, Liang Yue personally took out the several Kryptonian corpses in the hibernation cabin.

After leaving enough experimental materials for Xiaowu to study, he sent the remaining remains to a remote wilderness.

He dug a pit, buried them, and erected a wordless stone tablet for them.

It can be regarded as the last thing he, an earthling, did for these alien visitors.

As for whether Superman will have no clothes to wear because of the lack of Kryptonian tights.

It's none of Liang Yue's business. If you don't have clothes, sew them yourself. At worst, go back to the original trend of wearing red underwear outside, and losing a piece of clothing is not losing a piece of meat...

After solving the control problem of the Kryptonian spaceship, the intelligent brain Xiaowu finally had some idle calculation capacity.

So, at Liang Yue's request, a batch of professional assembly line gun production machines were quickly made by it.

With the supply of a large number of raw materials, this is not a problem at all with the resources Xiaowu currently has.

The use and practice of Gun Kata requires the use of guns.

In the current DC universe time period, a large number of firearms are also needed.

Even to some extent, guns and a sufficient amount of ammunition are the most reliable hard currency, sometimes more precious than gold, silver, antiques, food, and other things!

During this period, Liang Yue originally wanted to go to the European battlefield again, wanting to take advantage of the war to find the whereabouts of the Mother Box.

But unfortunately, there was no time at all~

Since the last selection competition, Yuan Datou has been trying his best to win him over. Basically, there is a small banquet every three days and a big invitation every five days, and you can't refuse.

Because he always greets people with a smile, and he is very considerate in terms of etiquette.

Moreover, the people invited to his banquet, in addition to him, are also famous people in the Chinese gifted world, such as seniors and talents.

Wudang, Shaolin, Emei, Qingcheng, Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, Miao Jiang, Tangmen, Northeast Chuma...

For a time, various gifted world-related forces appeared on the stage.

Taking this opportunity, Liang Yue also got to know and cram a lot about the characters and inheritance of the Chinese gifted world.

Recently, he has gained a lot~!
