"I made a promise to play games with my dad!" Tang You raised his hand with a face full of black lines: "I just came up with a new strategy to win, planning to show off in the afternoon game!"
"Play fewer games, it will enhance family harmony." Momo waved his hand nonchalantly.
Tang You was skilled at playing games, but he had a known tendency to rage, reportedly, his grandfather had done a jumping sniper to headshot a world champion in an offline tournament.
According to Momo, Tang You's dad belonged to the category of gamers who had poor skills but a strong addiction, and because of his busy work schedule, he hadn't had time to practice.
Typically, the three generations, grandfather and grandchildren, would play games for an hour and trash-talk each other for half an hour.
In the second hour, they would argue about seniority, then Tang You would call the grandmother and mother to act as the supervisory team.
In short, the family was like strangers from the comment section.
"That's quite a brutal roast..." Tang You's face was full of black lines, but Momo wasn't wrong; once the game started, there's no father-son camaraderie, just trash-talking each other.
Indeed, not playing games can truly enhance family harmony.
"Xiaolan, if your live-stream involves driving, you'll probably get banned, right?" Ah Qing asked the little fox.
"Technically, it won't be banned, but you'll likely get your backside whipped by Wang Qiqi for causing a negative public opinion with your live stream." Ansheng looked at Ah Qing and said.
"Then... let's change the topic." Ah Qing said with a contemplative expression, "After our off-roading, should we take our fans to the Law School to see the ancient tomb of the founder of the Legalist School?"
"It's not that complicated, just do the live broadcast directly at the ecological base."
Ansheng pondered and advised Ah Qing: "The Spirit Beasts at the base are enough to make good content."
"I'll ask the antelope cow to perform a backflip for the live stream viewers. Among the National One protected animals, a backflip performance is something no other streamer can offer."
"Can you actually broadcast there?"
Ah Qing looked shocked and doubtful: "Won't we get a three-year sentence and maybe even get charged with leaking state secrets, resulting in an immediate arrest while live streaming?"
Other streamers go to high-spending areas, but the little fox is special; in the places she goes, they don't talk about spending "yuan," they talk about "fate."
Those with fate might end up with a three-to-five-year sentence, and without fate, they'll at least face administrative detention.
Now hearing Xiaolan say that the ecological base allows live streaming, Ah Qing was inevitably puzzled.
"What's the issue? Those Spirit Beasts were all captured by me..."
Ansheng waved it off unconcernedly. The Qinling Panda Ecological Protection Base's only secret area is the one connected to the underground highway, nothing more.
Previously, the fat cat lived there, and during holidays, it's open for public visits.
Those Spirit Beasts were personally captured by Ansheng, leading to the later rumors of mystical Spirit Beast Base and clandestine cultivation gatherings seen by Momo and others.
"Oh...as long as we don't end up in jail, I still want to get my graduation certificate!" Ah Qing heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Hmm? Xiaolan, look at the convoy ahead, is it sent by the Security Bureau?"
Momo, on their way to the ecological base preparing to unload cargo, noticed an unusual convoy on the road and asked the little fox in the passenger seat.
At the traffic light intersection, a few security vehicles were followed by a Special Task Force black car, with a regular van at the end, its windows completely covered with black tint, making it impossible to see inside.
However, due to the height of the Baryonyx car, Momo could see a small snake inside the cabin from the front windshield.
"Let me take a look..."
Ansheng glanced over from the passenger seat and upon seeing the Snake Woman, pulled his head back and said, "Yes, the convoy belongs to the Security Bureau. I know her; her code name is Snake Woman and she's a renowned anesthetist at the bureau."
"Are they on a capture mission?"
Seeing the Security Bureau convoy on the road wasn't surprising to Ansheng.
Aside from Spirit Beast-related cases, the Security Bureau mainly handles capture missions, such as espionage threatening national safety and fugitives smuggling items.
That's also why the Security Bureau often laments about manpower shortage.
"Oh..."
Momo nodded understandingly, not paying much attention to the unexpected encounter on the road.
However.
The Security Bureau convoy headed in the same direction as Master Fuli's destination, both going toward the ecological base.
The Security Bureau members had looks of surprise, even rolled down their windows to observe the unmarked Baryonyx trailing their convoy.
Both stopped in front of the ecological base, and Snake Woman, full of curiosity, approached the Baryonyx:
"Master Fuli, is this a new car?"
During the journey, Snake Woman had already retrieved the driver's photo through the Security Bureau road system, recognizing Master Fuli in the driver's and passenger's seat.
"I just changed it not long ago."
Ansheng leaned on Ah Qing's shoulder, curiously looking at Snake Woman and her group, "What about you guys? Why did you come to the ecological base? Did a professor make a mistake?"
"No, no... We're here to pick up Spirit Beasts; we have a mission that requires the strength of the antelope cow."
Snake Woman opened her mouth helplessly: "We received a report from the Taoist Alliance, saying they've found traces of an Evil Cultivator group."
"But because their Five Thunder True法 is quite powerful, the Taoist Alliance couldn't handle it, so they transferred it to the Security Bureau."
"Five Thunder True法?"
Obviously belonging to cultivation jargon, when this phrase came out, including Master Fuli, everyone looked bewildered.
"Yes, stringing together five thunder pipes and pasting them on a Spirit Beast to detonate, that's their Five Thunder True法." Snake Woman roughly explained the event.
A group of cultivators seemed to be conducting illegal Spirit Beast hunting in Qinling.
And the Taoist Alliance had caught traces of their activity, but was helpless against their fierce Five Thunder True法, thus had no choice but to hand the situation over to the Security Bureau.
Although cultivators are incredibly powerful, they're all glass cannons, unable to withstand gunfire, especially when the opposing cultivators even have grenades.
"That's quite a Five Thunder True法, why don't you invite Gatling Bodhisattva for battle?"
Ansheng's lips twitched slightly, fully accepting the absurd methods of those Evil Cultivators.
"We do. Originally, we wanted to deploy a step tank and blast them to death, but... "
"Due to the difficult terrain of deep mountains, we could only prioritize capture." Snake Woman sighed as she spoke.
Urban and mountain missions are the hardest, without heavy firepower, criminals seem to grow wings and fly.
"This is the Security Bureau I know! I thought you guys had turned to chanting scriptures and becoming vegetarian."
Hearing what Snake Woman said, Ansheng felt relieved.
But suddenly, in his mind, a golden glimmer flashed.
[Ah... If it weren't for the construction of the Dragon Nest taking all helicopter pilots away, we could've swept down those rotten Evil Cultivators with machine fire. Seriously, daring to paste thunder pipes beneath a Spirit Beast's belly! — Snake Woman deeply resents the Evil Cultivator group but cannot deploy armed helicopters due to certain reasons, feeling frustrated that despite their hard work for the Spirit Beast's environment and life improvement, a few have died now.]
[Wish Fulfilled: Let the forest sea boil!]
