Chapter 251: Mid-air Hug
At noon, the lunch outside the RV also changed with the arrival of Lei Tingting. Although it was still the small round table, it was covered with a stylish beige tablecloth, and the dishes ordered were steak, cream of mushroom soup, pasta, and even a bottle of red wine. Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili also ate politely like Lei Tingting, and followed Liu Laoliu to eat hot pot, stir-fried vegetables and barbecue. They used to be bold and unrestrained, but now they have changed to a gentle style, which is not bad.
Ah Si looked at the lunch box in his hand and couldn't help but complain: "Sister Tingting is really something. Not only did she not order a table for us, but she also drank. Who will drive if there is a mission?"
Ah San said, "They've already said that they'll only keep us safe on this street, so we won't go out."
Ah Si said: "This sounds a bit like alms."
Zhang Nianzu said: "It is alms, but if the alms are useful to us, there is no harm in accepting them."
Ah San said, "I am increasingly confused about what Brother Nianzu is thinking."
Zhang Nianzu put the metal rope around his neck, took the lunch box and ate it in three or five bites, then went to the door, holding the family tree in one hand and winding the rope in the other.
Li Erhu's family tree is complicated. Some of it was copied from other soldiers, some was recorded by himself based on hearsay, and there are also many anecdotes and stories in the clan's history, which he organizes whenever he thinks of them. Zhang Nianzu looks at it for a while, ponders for a while, and occasionally meets Lei Tingting's eyes when he looks around. However, he seems to be really in a trance, his consciousness has been stripped away, and only his body is left sitting here. At this time, his expression is cold.
Li Changgui said: "Come on, let's not be idle."
Upon hearing this, Asan and Li Erhu took out their explosion-proof forks and started practicing in the street.
Seeing that an ordinary afternoon was about to pass like this, Zhang Nianzu suddenly jumped up and shouted.
Lei Tingting was shocked. Without thinking, she stood up and ran to the other side. She knew Zhang Nianzu's character very well. If he lost his composure like this, something must have happened. Was he injured? Was he ambushed? Did the enemy send a sniper?
"Nianzu, what's wrong with you?" Lei Tingting ran to within ten steps of Zhang Nianzu and started shouting anxiously .
Zhang Nianzu stared at her with his eyes fixed, and suddenly clenched his fist and said, "My Midas Touch has reached the last step!"
Lei Tingting was surprised and happy and said, "Really?" She subconsciously wanted to throw herself into Zhang Nianzu's arms, and Zhang Nianzu also opened his arms to welcome her. But in an instant, they both realized that doing so would bring endless troubles. They almost stopped at the same time, and then put their arms together, leaving a gap for one person, as if they were giving each other a hug through the air.
Ah San realized it belatedly and rushed towards Zhang Nianzu in a hurry, shouting, "Brother Nianzu, what's wrong with you?" In his impulse, he forgot that he was still holding the explosion-proof fork in his hand. The fork head went straight to Zhang Nianzu's lower abdomen. Although it was not pointed, you could imagine the consequences if it was hit.
Zhang Nianzu was not in a hurry. He moved his right index finger lightly back and forth on the fork head. Swish, swish, swish, the fork head was broken into seven or eight pieces in an instant and flew to the ground. The scene was like Ah San rushing up with a long fresh lotus root, and Zhang Nianzu had an extremely sharp kitchen knife in his hand to quickly block it. The lotus root was cut off piece by piece, and it never touched the corner of Zhang Nianzu's clothes.
Li Changgui was stunned for a moment and then said excitedly: "It really worked! " In the past, Zhang Nianzu could only cut one thing into two pieces, but now he can cut the two forks of the explosion-proof fork into pieces, which means he has broken through the shackles. The difference is no different from that between a rifle and a submachine gun.
It turned out that when Zhang Nianzu was absorbed in reading the family tree, his right hand did not follow the rope down as usual, but rubbed back and forth on a small section. At a certain moment, the metal rope "fluttered" between his fingers and broke into countless strands of metal wire and composite materials. Zhang Nianzu understood a truth: the magic of the golden finger is not to divide a long object into two sections, or in other words, this segmentation depends on the user himself. For example, a chopstick, you can find its golden section point to split it in half, which is not difficult, but what if it is extremely long? Even if it can circle the earth? Then do you have to circle it and then break it near the equator?
Zhang Nianzu always thought of the metal rope as a whole, but due to its high-tech addition and special materials, it is actually deceptive. You always feel that its breaking point is just one inch away, just like an ant walking on a Möbius strip. From its perspective, as long as it keeps moving forward, it will find the end, but doing so will only get stuck in it. There are only four words to get rid of it, that is, "solve it on the spot". No matter where you are in the ring, you can tear it apart on the spot, and the problem will be solved. For the chopstick that can circle the earth, you don't need to care how long it is, you just need to pinch the beginning of it and find the golden section point on this section. This is the importance of defining the segmentation yourself.
It's not like Zhang Nianzu had never thought about this before, but at that time, with his understanding and ability to use the Midas Touch, it was just a fantasy. Just like before the advent of rockets, humans would feel a great sense of accomplishment by climbing a mountain with good physical strength, but never thought about landing on the moon. Many breakthroughs are achieved through perseverance. Zhang Nianzu's sudden enlightenment today is also achieved after a long period of perseverance, depression, and despair.
Of course, everything has its pros and cons. Compared with the traditional Midas Touch, the difficulty of the "free segmented Midas Touch" increases exponentially. The explosion-proof fork made of steel pipe in Ah San's hand is the easiest to deal with in terms of hardness and shape. Zhang Nianzu is very familiar with it, but if you want to use it proficiently, you have to practice a lot.
At this time, Lei Tingting was still hugging the air. When she ran over here, Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili thought something had happened and followed her. They looked at each other, and Zhuge Daofeng suddenly said, "Have you ever heard of a kind of kung fu called 'mid-air hug'?"
Xiahou Pili asked, "Oh? What's so powerful about this Kung Fu?"
Zhuge Daofeng said: "I don't know how powerful it is, but it is really difficult to practice. It requires the user's eyesight, leg strength, and muscle control to reach the peak. The key is to be in the air. Once you hold on to it, it is worthless."
Xiahou Pili said: "So that's it!"
Lei Tingting put her hands in front of her forehead, turned around and walked back.
Zhuge Daofeng looked at Zhang Nianzu and sighed, "We are not devils, but there are satellites in the sky and probes on the ground. We don't know where our colleagues are hiding nearby. Please understand."
Zhang Nianzu nodded, and the two followed Lei Tingting back.
