Every day is one step closer to reality

Mo Xiaoguang was so happy to have a good sleep. He slept until noon the next day. After getting enough sleep, his mental state was completely different.

When he was chatting with Bai Lu, he mentioned this to Bai Lu, and Bai Lu said, "That must be the reason for Brother Yi's koi!"

In Bai Lu's heart, all masters of dream interpretation have to stand aside, and all the credit goes to Koi.

He went home yesterday and showed his father the video of the fat koi taken on his mobile phone. His father said that it is not ordinary people who can raise koi like this.

However, when seeing this fat koi, everyone's first reaction is: there must be some strange hormone added to the feed that this fish eats.

Bai Lu doesn't care what others think, anyway, he thinks Feng Yi's family has good feng shui! This fat fish is nourished by Feng Shui!

Mo Xiaoguang didn't care about Feng Shui or not, he just hoped that his sleep would be better in the future.

And the facts turned out as he wished. In the next two or three days, Mo Xiaoguang's sleep at night became much better.

Some people also analyzed it with him and said that it might be the rhythm of the subtle sounds when the fish in the fish tank swim, which has a hypnotic effect.

Mo Xiaoguang agrees with this explanation. Feng Yi's koi are indeed more lively. If these two fish become less lively at any time, he can only... send these two fish back to raise them for a while.

In any case, Mo Xiaoguang was happy that he could solve the problem of sleep. He specially made an appointment to call Feng Yi and Bai Lu to have dinner at Bai Lu's restaurant.

Bai Lu's restaurant is extremely popular right now, and several of its new dishes have become internet celebrities. You have to wait for a table no matter when you go, and you have to reserve a private room several days in advance.

But with Bai Lu here, it is much more convenient.

There were only the three of them, and eating, drinking, and chatting were very casual.

Mo Xiaoguang brags to Feng Yi about his past fishing achievements and wants to make an appointment with Feng Yi to go fishing together to experience the charm of sea fishing.

Bai Luze paid attention to the frequency of Feng Yi's dishes. Knowing that Feng Yi was very satisfied with his dishes, he asked: "Brother Yi, are you spending the Chinese New Year in Yangcheng?"

Mo Xiaoguang also remembered that Feng Yi had not been in Yangcheng for several years before and only came after the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

He had a pretty good impression of Feng Yi. With an expert like Feng Yi here, he didn't have to worry about venomous snakes and pythons, and the safety level went up several levels. He also wanted to ask Feng Yi to go fishing with him years ago. Feng Yi How can we make an appointment if Yi is not in Yangcheng? Then he also looked at Feng Yi.

Feng Yi picked up the food with his chopsticks and said, "New Year? Maybe. I'll see if you have anything else to do."

During his years in Rongcheng, he almost spent the New Year part-time or working. This year is special, and there are more people in the family. I don’t know if they have other ideas during the New Year, so Feng Yi gives them a holiday.

I'll ask again when I get back.

Bai Lu said: "If you are in Yangcheng, if you want to order a New Year's Eve dinner at a restaurant, you can order it at my house. If you don't want to come to the restaurant, you can also order the food in advance. When it's time, we will send someone to deliver it to your home."

Feng Yi was surprised: "It's just December, and New Year's Eve is at the end of January. There's still such a long time in between, and your restaurant has already started ordering New Year's Eve dinner?"

Bai Lu was slightly proud, "It's started, I've made a lot of reservations! Many people in Yangcheng eat New Year's Eve dinner with their families in hotels and restaurants. In fact, our family is the same, almost all New Year's Eve dinner is in our own restaurant, my dad and brother They are all very busy, so our family will prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner at a restaurant, the only difference is which restaurant.”

Feng Yi nodded, "Okay, I'll make arrangements when I see it."

Bai Lu said cheerfully: "Brother Yi, if you decide, just tell me and I will solve it."

Feng Yi drove here by himself when he went out to eat. He didn't drink and didn't ask Xiao Jia to pick him up.

Feng Yi was very careful about drinking when eating out. He was afraid that he would do something shocking when he was drunk.

After dinner, Mo Xiaoguang and Bai Lu went to have fun with their friends and invited Feng Yi to join them, but Feng Yi refused.

After leaving the restaurant, Feng Yi drove around the city without rushing back.

He didn't have much time to think about things like the New Year's Eve dinner, so he felt melancholy for a while, and then thought about how to make money. The pressure of raising a family left him no time to grieve.

What he is anxious about now is to first configure the laboratory infrastructure and some instruments and quickly recruit doctors.

After driving the car to the parking lot of Riverside Park, Feng Yi walked along the riverside walkway, blowing the wind and thinking about things carefully.

The ringing of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown phone number, but it didn't look like an advertisement.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Teacher Feng Yifeng?" A very young female voice came from the other side of the phone.

Feng Yi: "..."

teacher? I?

But I quickly realized that this was just a polite name.

"I am Feng Yi."

"Hello, Teacher Feng, I am the Office of the Expert Committee of the Joint Security Bureau..."

As soon as the other side said "United Security Bureau", Feng Yi became more energetic. Facing the river, listening to the conversation, he raised his hand to push back a kicked children's football during the call.

Not far away, a grandfather was playing football with his four or five-year-old grandson by the river. The old man did not expect that the grandson would kick the ball away. He watched the ball fly towards the river. Over there There was also a young man standing with his back to this side, and he was about to give a warning, but soon he found that the ball was blown away by the wind, flying right past the passerby towards the river.

Although it's a pity that the ball can't be retrieved after it flew out, but fortunately no one was kicked.

Before they even sighed, they saw the person with his back to them. Without turning his head, he raised his hand and turned the ball back as if casually. It was in the direction of him and the force was not too strong. .

The old man was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to catch the ball that was returned.

I opened my mouth to say something, but I didn't know how to say it. I wanted to thank him, but the other person was talking on his mobile phone and I couldn't disturb him, so he just raised his voice slightly to say thank you and left with his grandson.

Feng Yi didn't pay much attention to the grandfather and grandson behind him.

"Yes, I caught the two giant pythons at the resort...Florida python hunting? Oh, okay...Well, I'll take a look later."

After the phone call, Feng Yi opened his email, which contained a blank application form just sent from the Office of the Expert Committee of the Joint Security Bureau, inviting Feng Yi to participate in the Florida python hunting event in January.

Is this the "good thing about gaining both fame and fortune" that Wei Hongxi told him before?

The location of the python hunting activity is a subtropical coastal swamp area abroad. When I participated in scientific research activities in the past, I heard Steve complain about the proliferation of pythons there. The protected animals in China are invasive species there, so the local ones were directly removed. The ecology is messed up and local residents are threatened.

Feng Yi looked at the electronic application form he had just received. There was also a brief description of this activity on it.

This time, python hunting is not hunting. Many tools are strictly restricted. Bait traps, chemical agents, power tools, etc. are all prohibited.

Most of the time, you need to grab it with your hands, and what Feng Yi is best at is grabbing it with bare hands without borrowing any auxiliary tools. It’s no wonder that the Joint Security Bureau extended an invitation to Feng Yi.

The snakes caught during this python hunting activity cannot be taken out of Virginia. After being caught, they will be purchased by local departments, the Joint Protection Bureau, and groups cooperating with the Joint Protection Bureau.

Feng Yi thought for a while and sent a message to Steve. Steve happened to be free now and made a direct voice call.

Knowing that Feng Yi had also received the invitation, Steve was particularly excited, "I'm familiar with python hunting! I'll take you with me when the time comes!"

Feng Yi wanted to know more about this activity, and Steve said: "Before the abnormal climate period, this activity was directly about hunting, and you could also eat snake meat, but now it's not allowed..."

Feng Yi was confused: "I remember you said that the pythons over there were almost wiped out during the abnormal climate period."

Steve explained: "Yes, the period of climate abnormality has almost wiped out it, but it has not been completely wiped out. There are some who have survived, and those who have survived the period of climate abnormality include new hybrids and mutants. These are the current overlords of the Everglades. , the number has an obvious upward trend, and the target of this python hunting activity is them.

"If they continue to be so arrogant, the Everglades ecosystem will be over. Once they rise, the mammals in the Everglades will decrease by more than 99%, and the crocodiles will starve to death. This is a terrible thing. But these pythons are not It’s so easy to catch, I won’t be able to catch many in a month…”

When it comes to serious ecological issues, Steve doesn't call these pythons "cute" or "cute" anymore.

"Small pythons are cheap, a two-meter one only costs about 1,000 yuan, maybe less than 1,000 yuan, depending on whether it's a male or a female. If it's a giant python, like the two you caught at the resort, I've watched the news , many people of that size are rushing to buy it, and the price is also high, five or six figures are possible, depending on what kind of snake it is."

"Is it so expensive?" Feng Yi was surprised.

Steve said: "The large size of pythons is conducive to their research and they have discovered several genetic mutation sites. Various research teams want to know how these pythons in Florida have become stronger and more adaptable to the environment after the abnormal climate period. reason."

Small pythons bring insufficient data, and large pythons are too difficult to catch.

"Not only is the price low if it's a live snake, but if it's a dead snake, it will also be traced to see if you have violated any rules during the hunting process, which is very troublesome. The strict restrictions on tools are out of concern that it will have some negative impact on the local ecology, and also Restrain those who like to use excessive means. The Animal Protection Law is still there, and the United Nations Security Bureau is also watching you. This python hunting event is huge, with twice as many people participating as in previous years. For you, it is It’s a good thing, if you have money and points, you can still register with the Federal Insurance Bureau.”

Feng Yi thought to himself: Isn't this a good thing? A giant python can be exchanged for tens of thousands of dollars!

Thinking again about the prices of the instruments in the product brochure, Feng Yi pondered: How many items should be included without being too excessive, and at the same time reducing financial pressure?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Steve say over there, "But what you have to consider is that you can't spend the New Year at home."

When Feng Yi heard this, he thought that according to the time and activity duration on the application form, he really couldn't celebrate the New Year at home.

Are you still confused about the New Year’s Eve dinner?

Steve asked: "So, are you participating?"

"join!"
