Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 997 "Beer"

"Why is he like a little deer? What should we do now?"

[You need to inhale a saturated dose of phlogiston urgently. You can take down the small bag on her waist, it should be inside. ]

"Bag? Let me see on the other side? Excuse me, I have to turn you over."

"Ms. Agatha, this is the purchase list. We probably need to purchase a number of things in Yujing, a total of 82 items. Because boat No. 2 has temporarily lost contact, the supplies on boat No. 3 need to be re-purchased. Boats No. 4 and are all normal. According to the requirements of Aurora, these cargo boats will not enter the walls of Yujing, but will only stay at Pukou Military Port. We need to pick up the goods."

"Well," Agatha, wearing glasses, sat at the dining table of Shangluo's house, managing the administrative work for Victoria, "then we need to arrange a car. We don't have much Aurora currency with us, so don't waste it. Can you drive?"

"Yes. But Ms. Agatha, I only drive right-hand drive cars, but all Aurora cars are left-hand drive, so I can't get an Aurora driver's license."

"Call Titus over later. I remember he has an Aurora driver's license, which he took a special test for some time ago. Don't hire a driver from Aurora. The labor costs at Aurora are very expensive."

"I see. Oh, by the way, is His Majesty out? She told me to pick some everlasting flowers and put them in Shangluo's vase for him. But I haven't had time to ask if they should be cured. Because if they are taken out of the painting, they will probably fade tomorrow."

"She went out to eat. Our Emperor is really busy with official duties. She is almost busier than the Emperor of Aurora."

"She went out? But I saw her emergency kit was still on the table."

"???" Agatha stood up, "Then what was that bag she was carrying when she went out?"

"Potato chips?" Shang Luo grabbed a bag of nitrogen-filled potato chips and looked at the ingredient list on the back. "Why is it all in Latin? I don't understand. It looks like a picture of chili peppers. Is this an emergency phlogiston supplement?"

[No, that's not right. The one you saw last time looked like a respirator. There was a small bottle connected to the mask.]

"But this bag is full of potato chips!" Victoria was turned over and lay on his legs, unable to move. The waist bag on her back was now facing upwards, and Shangluo could see everything in the bag at a glance.

In addition to wet wipes for wiping hands, there are all kinds of potato chips in the bag, medium, large and extra large. The extra large bag of potato chips has potato-colored packaging, which Shangluo recognizes, and should be the original flavor.

[Wow, there's Ghanaian red pepper flavor, seems to be popular recently. No, why are there only potato chips? Where's her stuff? ]

"Forget it, forget it. Call Miss Agatha immediately."

[Wait! Don't call her, calling her will make us look incompetent. Actually, there is another trick! Actually, you are sitting on a high concentration of phlogiston source! ]

"Huh? Wait, you're not going to..."

[Wait, wait, Grani, pull over! ]

"So, are you sure?"

Victoria was lying on her back in the back seat of the Grani. Shangluo was squatting at the fuel tank filling port outside the car door, holding a hose in one hand and a thermos cup in the other. The fuel tank's fuel was pouring into the thermos cup.

As a demon god, Grani was filled with high concentrations of phlogiston even when he was bound, and he also fed on phlogiston. After being imprisoned in the frame of this car model, he also had the functions and structure of a car, including the fuel tank.

Whether the original demon god had such an organ or not is not the point, but Grani, as a car, did have one. This fuel tank could not only store phlogiston, but also pour it out, and it was all powerful phlogiston that was enough to drive the demon god.

"I don't remember refueling the Grani. I remember when Master Sa gave me the car, he said there was no need to refuel. Could it be that it can charge itself?"

[How can a demon be so inconvenient? A restrained demon is almost a perpetual motion machine in terms of energy for daily use. This fuel tank was created to adapt to the functions of a car. From this point of view, this tank should be able to be filled automatically.] "Is that so? Are you sure this is a six-legged warhorse demon, not a cow demon? Can it squeeze out phlogiston?"

[Mare's milk is also milk, right? Yes, it is. Hey, it seems to be almost full. ]

Although a lot of phlogiston flowed out, the accumulation speed seemed to be slower than it looked. Because the overflowing phlogiston seemed to produce a loose structure like "foam", just like pouring beer. A lot of the poured part turned into foam floating on the surface, and the liquid level did not rise for a long time. It was not until the foam was pushed to the mouth of the cup little by little and overflowed from Shangluo's fingertips that the liquid level seemed to be full.

Hiding in a corner by the road, Shangluo stood up slowly with a glass of golden beer in his hand. As the liquid in the glass swayed, golden drops fell down, completely decomposing into foam before hitting the ground, and then disappeared in the light.

"Wow, this thing is so special."

[Because the compression is too high, it will boil and decompose once it comes into contact with the natural environment. So this will happen when it is poured out.] Apollonia hesitated.

"Beer? I just felt like beer."

[Don't you think it looks a bit like horse urine? This is a horse. 】

"Beer!" Shangluo said seriously.

[Huh?] Apollonia was stunned for a moment, then reacted, [Oh, yes, yes, beer. She insisted that it was beer. Look at this beer, the foam is so rich!]

"I keep talking about beer, you know? Even though it does sound a bit like that. And even if you don't talk about horse urine, drinking car fuel is outrageous enough."

【Hmmmm.】Apollonia answered repeatedly.

Shangluo returned to the car with the cup in his hand. Although the rear seat of the car was large, it was still too small for a person lying down. Shangluo had no choice but to let him lean on his legs, hold her back with his hands, let her mouth open slightly, and handed her the thermos cup.

"Hmm?!" Victoria suddenly opened her eyes.

A stream of clear water flowed from the tip of her tongue and went straight to her lungs. It was the familiar taste of phlogiston, but this time it had dense foam and a pleasant drinking experience. A lot of phlogiston decomposed into gas in her throat and then went straight into her nasal cavity, directly activating her senses, just like eating mustard when her nose was blocked.

Victoria, who had seemed lifeless just now, immediately became full of energy. She reached out and grabbed the cup, looking up and chewing.
I drank the whole cup in one breath.

"Ah! So delicious! What was that just now?"

[Beer! You just drank beer! ]

"This is so delicious!" She looked up and saw Shangluo. He asked in a low voice: "Can I have another cup?"

"Of course I do. But Miss Victoria, could you please sit up first? I can't help you pour the drink if I keep holding you like this." He looked at the cup. "Is this stuff really that delicious? It looks like it tastes really good."

There was still some on the wall of the cup, so he poured the rest into his mouth.

"Hmm? It seems to taste really good."

[Really? Let me smell it. Eh? This smell. This smell is so familiar! Victoria! Doesn’t this smell like that?]

"Torpedo Drink!" Victoria thought of it immediately. "It's exactly the same as the special drink on the submarine! It's the secret of the Athenian Navy. It has an interesting name, Torpedo Drink. It has thick foam and a smooth taste. It can be paired with a variety of fruit juices. You can actually come up with the same base! That's amazing!"
