At night, in the food street of the underground ghost city in the city of Fugo, in the hot stalls, the smell of cooking fumes and food, the noise of people and the collision of shovels, everyone''s face is shiny and full of smiles.


    This is the world of fireworks.


    "Jingle!"


    Two iced fruit wine glasses collide. Li Yao and Meng Jiang, his best friend in high school, gulp down in one gulp. They make a tut tut sound and look at each other with a smile.


    "I haven''t come back for three years, and the mulberry wine barbecued by Lao Du is still the same


    Li Yao licked the corner of his mouth with great emotion.


    During the day, after leaving the miner''s children''s middle school, he went to see his elder martial brother Penghai. They went to see sun Lao, the enlightenment teacher.


    When he was young, sun was just a humble practitioner in the period of refining Qi, but he had brilliant eyes. In his later years, he discovered two super newlyweds, Peng Hai and Li Yao vulture, and his status in the Chixiao sect also rose.


    In order to have a good relationship with Peng Hai and Li Yao, Chixiao sect has been taking good care of Mr. Sun all these years. It has arranged a good villa in the suburb for the elderly to enjoy their old age.


    However, sun always hated the fact that Chixiao No.2 Middle School swept Li Yao out of the house. He was not false to Chixiao school. Instead, he liked to wander around the slums every day, trying to find the next good seedling. It was also a hobby.


    Li Yao had dinner with Peng Hai and Mr. Sun, and asked Peng hai to deal with his shares in the Shuangjiao meeting. It was nine o''clock in the evening when he finished his trivial business.


    At the same time, Meng Jiang, a close friend of mine, has finished his three-year career in a vocational college and obtained the license of an intermediate image designer. He is about to enter the society.


    Li Yao and Meng Jiang haven''t seen each other for three years. They just take this opportunity to meet at their favorite underground ghost city food street.


    The steaming fried noodles with mutton oil, the colorful kebabs thicker than the arm, the tearful clams and the plump chicken drumsticks are all the delicacies that I yearned for in high school and filled a large table.


    "I didn''t expect that we would get together again. You''re really good. In just three years, you''ll become a foundation building monk, just like Peng Hai, the demon sword of that year!"


    Meng Jiang filled Li Yao''s wine with a smile and said with emotion, "I''m an ordinary person. I''m afraid I can''t make a big difference in my life. The only thing to be proud of is having a good friend like you! I didn''t expect that after you became a foundation building monk, you still remember my best friend, who was willing to come to such a place for dinner. I''m really happy! "


    "Mengjiang, you will always be my best friend, how can I forget? When I was hunting monsters on Mojiao Island, I was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Everyone said that I couldn''t wake up, but you tried your best to protect me in school. For me, you also had conflicts with many people. All these things are firmly in my mind! "


    Li Yao clenched his glass and said with some embarrassment, "but you know, to become a practitioner is a matter of sailing against the current. If I don''t advance, I will retreat. I have to practice crazily 24 hours a day, and sometimes I have to go to the battlefield. I''ve been fighting for months. I really don''t have time to get together with my old friends!"


    "I understand that the situation is so tense now, you practitioners must be very hard! Now that you have embarked on this road, put in 100% and keep climbing! I''m still waiting for you to come to me for a drink after you become an old baby monster


    Meng Jiang said with a smile, "don''t let me wait too long. If I become a bad old man and you become a Yuanying old monster, I''m sorry to take a picture with you!"


    Li Yao also laughed: "don''t worry, you won''t wait too long!"


    "And you, by the way?"


    "Your ideal is to become the best image designer in the whole Federation. I know that you have worked very hard in school and obtained many intermediate licenses that senior image designers can''t get. What are you going to do next? Work or start your own business? "


    Meng Jiang smiles and says with a little pride, "I''m going to join the army."


    Li Yao was stunned: "join the army?"


    "That''s right."


    Meng Jiang nodded and said, "of course, I want to start a business and open an image design club myself. But my environment, you know, has no money at all, and my father has never supported me in this business."


    "Now the Federation has entered a state of first-class war, the status of soldiers has been greatly improved, and the standards for joining the army have also been relaxed. After three years in the army, I can get a loan and realize my dream!"


    "Secretly tell you, I went to participate in the test a few days ago, has passed smoothly, as long as the data review is no problem, is a glorious federal army!"


    "Ha, even my father didn''t know the news. If the old man knew it, he would be very angry!"


    "So it is..."


    After thinking about it, Li Yao took out a very low-key and luxurious gold smart card with a black frosted surface from his arms, put it on the greasy table and handed it to him.


    Meng Jiang was stunned and hesitated. He drank a glass of iced mulberry wine, took a deep breath and pushed the card back.


    Li Yao frowned and said, "Mengjiang, we are best friends. Why are you polite to me? This money should be enough for you to open a medium-sized image design club. You don''t have to work so hard to join the army. It''s very dangerous to go to the front line now! "


    Meng Jiang glanced at jinlingtong card and seemed to regret it. But he gritted his teeth and began to smile again


    "Li Yao, I know you mean well. The money is nothing to you at all."


    "However, I always regard the two of us as my best friends. The friendship we have formed since middle school is the purest thing. I value it as a treasure."


    "Therefore, I can''t take your money to start a business, otherwise I always feel that this kind of friendship is no longer so pure, flawed and tasteless."


    "What''s more, compared with the easy success, I prefer to use my own hands to work out my world bit by bit!"


    "Only in this way, when I finally build a big image design Empire, looking back, I will not feel even a little guilty!"


    "Even if one day, you really become a Yuanying old monster, I will still be able to straighten my back and eat meat and drink wine with you with dignity!"


    Li Yao pondered these words for a long time, and finally touched his head and laughed


    "OK, Mengjiang, I didn''t expect to see you for three years, and your realm has improved so much!"


    "Of course!"


    Meng Jiang grinned and his eyes were full of pride. "I''m under a lot of pressure to be a close friend with you, a super genius. Of course, I have to work hard to improve my level so that I won''t be too far away from you."


    "Although I have ordinary talent, I can''t wake up to Linggen in my life. I''m just an ordinary person, but the last time I left, I told you that ordinary people can also do great things, which may not be much worse than those who practice truth!"


    "Maybe, I can''t be a practitioner in the eyes of the world. My fame will move the world and shake the Federation."


    "But I can at least become my own practitioner, practice my own life and control my own destiny!"


    Lee was moved.


    Under the red fire, Meng Jiang''s face is shining, full of expectations for a better life in the future, and the self-confidence that he is willing to make all efforts to fight with his fate to the end.


    This kind of light made Li Yao full of joy and raised his glass again


    "Well said, Mengjiang, we are all practitioners of our own life. Since we have chosen our own path, we should make every effort to go on step by step. No matter how hard it is, no matter how hard it is or how tired it is, don''t give up!"


    "Cheers


    "Cheers


    ……


    Three days later, in the northwest of Xingyao Federation, on the boundless Gobi desert, Tianyuan artillery is located!


    Five hundred miles around the city are sealed off by the federal army, and at least five Yuan Ying''s strong men are firmly monitoring the sky and the earth.


    In the control center, more than a dozen research-oriented practitioners in jiedan period, leading hundreds of experts, scholars and staff in foundation construction period and gas refining period, are operating nervously.


    There are still five minutes to go before the first launch of Tianyuan cannon.


    Li Yao once saw that millions of talismans began to shine on the big disk which was deeply sunken to the ground, just like a red sun rising.


    Although it''s a clear day, the light from the fluctuation of psionic power still eclipses the blue sky and white clouds.


    In the center of the circular crater, deep into the underground launching well, a little red awn is growing bigger and bigger, and it makes a roaring sound like wind and thunder, just like a giant magma beast dormant in the deep underground, about to roar out.


    That is under the crustal movement and the spiritual pulse change, the ground fire which has been quiet for half a year is about to burst out the unparalleled energy!


    In the control center, the practitioners are accurately calculating the angle and orientation, trying to add fuel to the fire!


    "The last three minutes!"


    "108 crystal bombs, fire at the same time!"


    "The earth fire increases greatly. It''s on the move!"


    "Boom boom!"


    There was a slight vibration from the bottom of the earth, and the water cup on the table rippled in circles.


    The expression on the face of every practitioner, including Yuanying laoguai, was as unpredictable as a ripple.


    The underground rock which could block the ground fire was smashed by the crystal bomb, and the augmentation array can stimulate the huge energy contained in the ground fire in an instant.


    The launch process has started, there is no force to interrupt, the next thing they can do is wait.


    Modern practitioners are natural atheists.


    They may believe that there is a kind of powerful "demon race" that can destroy or transform all the stars.


    But I absolutely don''t believe that there will be a kind of "God" who can''t feel, observe or prove, and manipulate everything in the dark!


    However, in this nearly stagnant three minutes, many of the most determined atheists on weekdays, like Gu Xiu 40000 years ago, chanted and prayed to the nonexistent gods.


    The range of mountain shaking and earth shaking is getting larger and larger, and the red awn in the launching well is becoming more and more dazzling. Within hundreds of miles, the hot steam gushes out from the underground cracks, converging into a white fog, and the temperature has increased by at least ten degrees.


    Tianyuan cannon, just like its name, explains the structure of this super transmission array. The star orbit is rifled and spirals downward in the silo.


    A total of five satellite shuttles, each 100 meters apart, quietly parked at the bottom of the silo.


    Inside one of the shuttles, the star scouts sang aloud, and the loud national anthem and Military Anthem echoed repeatedly in the narrow cabin.


    Inside the other shuttle, the star scouts played rough and wild jokes to express their inner tension.


    There were also two shuttles in silence, and each of them closed their eyes and listened quietly to the roar of the fire under their feet.


    One last minute to launch!
