Chapter 1426: The Otherworld (141)
The Black Mamba Escort Team was still discussing, and Pang Xiaonan finally made a decision, saying: "I think the leaner the team we are advancing this time, the better, in fact, there is no need for the scientific expedition team to go, Wu Yongqiang and I will go to see it, and it is not too late to make sure that there is no danger, but since they are obsessed, let's go through the motions." β
"Alright then, then you should hurry up and go. Bucton Lin also stopped inking and made a decision on the spot.
Bucton Lin returned to the camp of the scientific expedition team with the Black Mamba escort and made the following arrangements: "We finally decided that the people who would continue to move forward were Mr. Bridgemorgan and Professor Oda Lima, escorted by Pang Xiaonan and Wu Yongqiang, and the rest of the people were all left in place and on standby. β
Professor Cow Barklaas was reluctant, he jumped out, pointed to Bucton Lin and began to theorize, "Why can't I go? No, I have to join the advancing line." β
"Professor Cow Peel Krass, please understand," Bucton Lin had to reason with the physics tycoon in front of him, "we are going to explore a safe route this time, and if you are next to you, it will interfere with the work of our teammates, so it is also for your safety that we left you behind." β
"Then why can he go?" Professor Cow Peellas pointed to Bridgemorgan, "just because he is your master? β
Bucton Lin's face was red and white, and patiently explained: "Professor Cow Peel Klaas, please don't get me wrong, the advance team we sent this time is not to play, but to reconnoiter the environment, full of uncertain dangers, and Mr. Bridgemorgan has a strong armor protection, which can help us solve a lot ......of troubles, which is obvious to all."
"Okay, he can go, but Professor Rita Rima is a weak woman, why should she go?" Professor Cow Peelklas pointed the finger at Oda Rima again, "Could it be that she is under the unspoken rules?"
"Professor Cow Peel Kras, please respect yourself!" Oda Rima was so angry by Professor Cow Peel Kleas' words that her chest rose and fell rapidly, and the majestic mountain peak was even more moving.
Yang Dating pulled Professor Cow Peel Klaas on the side, he knew Professor Cow Peel Clars character very well, this guy, if he couldn't do what he wanted, he would say anything, he would be unstoppable.
Professor Cowhide Kras also realized that he had said the wrong thing, although he and Oda Rima were not very familiar, but after all, they were both mixed in the scientific community, and it was really not good to talk about a woman like this.
So Professor Cowhide Klaas immediately changed his smile and said to Oda Rima, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Professor Oda Rima Yama, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I mean, you have a good relationship with BridgeMorgan, that's why he brought you." β
The more Professor Cow Piklas explained, the more confused it became, and at this time Pang Xiaonan came out and said with a smile: "Professor Niu Pi Klaas, you are right, Professor Oda Rima is under the unspoken rules, because we want her to help us identify unknown creatures on the road, so although the road is very dangerous, she still has to go, here, we have no distinction between men and women, everyone is just to be able to better discover the various secrets of this new Bloss, you can rest assured, once we find a safe line, we will definitely come back to pick everyone up and move forward together!"
"Alright, then you guys should hurry up and go. Pang Xiaonan gave Professor Cow Piklas a step down, and Professor Niu Piklas didn't want to continue to entangle, just hoping that Pang Xiaonan and they could come back as soon as possible to report the good news.
Bucton Lin came over and asked Pang Xiaonan, "What should I do with so many rabbits?" He looked left and right, and there were dozens of rabbit corpses on the ground.
"It's easy to do. Pang Xiaonan was happy, "You let the others deal with the rabbit and save it for the barbecue party in the evening." β
Fortunately, there are these rabbits, otherwise the people who stay in place would have to worry about food, and now they look at it, and they have fallen.
"There are so many rabbits, you have to eat until the Year of the Monkey. Bucton Lin admired Pang Xiaonan's idea, but he felt unreliable, "Also, this rabbit meat will rot, if you can't eat it, it will all become rotten meat." β
"Uh, this one," Pang Xiaonan scratched the back of his head, "By the way, I remembered, if you can't finish eating, hang it on a tree and dry it, and make it into air-dried rabbit meat, you can keep it for a long time." We can even save it until we get back to the boat. β
Bucton Lin sneered and said, "You are really a big foodie, and in such a dangerous environment, you still think about how to make good food." β
"There's no way, captain," Pang Xiaonan spread his hands, "If you don't eat and drink, how can you deal with monsters." β
In the end, Pang Xiaonan also followed a handled rabbit, put it on his shoulder, and walked forward with Bridgemorgan, Oda Lima and Wu Yongqiang.
Before leaving, all the Black Mamba Guards expressed their wishes to the team: "Have a nice trip!" "Stay safe!" "Come back soon" "Don't play in the water on the road......
The four of them walked far away, and there were no other members of the scientific expedition team and the Black Mamba Guard, Pang Xiaonan turned back to BridgeMorgan and said, "I admire you, Mr. Bridgemorgan." β
BridgeMorgan smiled, tightened the strap on his shoulders, and said, "To tell you the truth, I have long wanted to part with these scientists, it was too wrong." β
After saying that, BridgeMorgan felt that something was wrong, turned his head to look at Rita Rima beside him, and said, "I'm not talking about you, you are much braver than them." β
Xiao Tian Lima smiled slightly, noncommittal, and quickly caught up with Pang Xiaonan.
Pang Xiaonan walked quickly, and he said to the rest of the people: "I'll go ahead, so as to find the danger in time, that big brother Wu Yongqiang, you are behind the palace, you take the scope of your sniper rifle to pay attention to the distance, let's keep a distance." β
Wu Yongqiang nodded and slowed down, he had already taken off the scope of the sniper rifle, and put it in front of his eyes from time to time to probe around.
Bridgemorgan's footsteps slowed down, he was carrying heavy armor, although his physical strength could still keep up, after all, it was a little difficult. BridgeMorgan usually exercises regularly, and he is also a kung fu master in the scientific expedition team, but he is still far behind Pang Xiaonan, and slowly, he is almost in the same position as Wu Yongqiang.
Oda Rima followed Pang Xiaonan closely, although she was also carrying a heavy instrument bag.
Pang Xiaonan turned his head and said to Xiao Tian Lima: "What are you doing with me, you can't catch up with me, you better take it easy." β
"No, I'm going to follow you. Rita Rima felt that only Pang Xiaonan's side was the safest.
"Do you want us to change?" Pang Xiaonan pointed to the bag on Xiao Tian Lima's back, "I'll help you with the backpack, and you will carry the rabbit." β
"Don't!" Rita Rima looked at the cleanly processed rabbit, there was not a single hair on its body, and its stomach was hollowed out, and she couldn't help but feel a disgusting smell in her heart.
In order to make Oda Rima not so difficult to catch up, Pang Xiaonan slowed down and chatted with Oda Rima about the world.
"Eh, why do you say BridgeMorgan is so desperate?" Pang Xiaonan glanced at Bridgemorgan, who was twenty or thirty meters away from him, and had some admiration for this rich second generation.
"You don't understand the world of the rich. Rita Yama was very calm.
"Why don't I understand, aren't rich people also human beings? Rich people are not afraid of death. Pang Xiaonan looked at Rita Rima with disdain, and found that her chest was already soaked with sweat.
"Rich people are more afraid of boredom than death. Oda Rima found Pang Xiaonan staring at her chest, and immediately became alert, "Look at it!"
"Do rich people get bored? Those who don't have money don't have to be bored to death. Pang Xiaonan remembered the hard life at home when he was a child, and sometimes life was better than death.
"I watched a documentary before, dedicated to the luxurious life of the top rich, at that time I remember the protagonist said a sentence, saying that in fact, everyone has troubles, as a top rich person, the troubles are no less than ordinary people, for example, they have no friends, because they don't know whether the other party is sincere or fancy their own money. Lima Oda grabbed the strap with both hands, reminiscing about the extravagant documentary by Pang Xiaonan's side.
"Tell me, what is the life of that protagonist?" Pang Xiaonan remembered that Councilor Wang was also a top rich man, but how did he feel that Councilor Wang's life was not as colorful as his own.
"I remember the beginning of the film," Rita Rima began to recall, blinking her eyes, "One morning, in the bright and gentle sunshine, the heroine lazily woke up from the comfortable bed, and the butler who got the news walked through the deep corridor and served the heroine a carefully prepared breakfast with a thoughtful gentleman. The whole villa kicked off a new day, and the service staff in various positions had already done a good job in an orderly manner, and the flowers in the vase were still shining with crystal dew. The personal assistant waited early on the side for the call of the heroine. After the hostess washes up, the personal assistant will confirm today's itinerary with the hostess: Pilates, beauty, and fitness have professional personnel at the appointed time, oh yes, there is also a social dinner tonight, the designer has made several sets of image designs according to your preferences and taken photos for your selection and reference, and the items you need to prepare have also been properly packed and attached with a form for inspection......"
"What's next?" Pang Xiaonan was very interested in this picture, wondering if he would be able to do this in the future.
"This documentary also has a very simple and crude name, called "The World of the Rich". A total of six episodes were filmed, and the protagonist is the wealthy daughter Tamarra, and the content is to record the daily life and work of Tamara and his family. Perhaps this film greatly satisfies the public's curiosity, and it became popular all over the world as soon as it was broadcast. β
"The protagonist is a woman?" Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that the rich woman couldn't learn it by himself, but if he found such a wife, he would die.
Oda Rima nodded and said: "It's because it's a woman, I'm interested in watching, the heroine's full name is Tamara Ellis, her father is the F1 president who created the F1 Formula racing competition, Bailey Ellis, as early as 20 years ago, Pele was the top ten richest people in the Austro-British and American empires, worth 20 billion. As the daughter of F1, Tamara is also one of the top 20 richest women in the world, with a personal worth of more than 3 billion. β
"Is billions like this?" Pang Xiaonan felt that the rich people of Hallelujah were too watery, he traveled through the previous world, and he was casually worth hundreds of billions of billionaires.
"What do you know, the worth is not comparable to the worth, the rich people who do the industry, and those who do the Internet virtual industry, the value is not the same, for example, you have a website worth hundreds of billions, but you can't cash out at any time. "Rita Rita has studied Fortune News very thoroughly.
"I see. Pang Xiaonan heard the true meaning of worth for the first time.
"Tamarra's husband is also from a wealthy family, the family operates real estate development and financial banking industry, the two fell in love at first sight, got engaged after knowing each other for a week, and held a wedding in half a year, this wealthy wedding was also very popular at the time, celebrated for 3 days, it is said to cost nearly 100 million yuan, I really can't imagine what the 100 million wedding will be, maybe this is what we often say poverty limits my imagination. Oda Rima's eyes were very indifferent, and she didn't seem to be moved by 100 million.
"Rich people pay attention to the right family, right, it is impossible for a poor boy to marry a rich girl. Pang Xiaonan is not disgusted with the concept of mendi, since ancient times, it has been a dragon with a phoenix, and the son of a mouse can only make holes.
"Of course, you have to be the right person, for example, if you ask a female professor to marry a primary school student, do you think it's possible?" Rita Rima straightened her chest, as if she was very proud.
"You are mistaken, what if this elementary school student is a self-made top rich man?" Pang Xiaonan retorted not to be outdone, "For example, just like the president you said, he is a primary school culture, do you marry or not?"
"Do you think I'm just like you, I only look at money?" Rita Rima didn't show weakness at all, "No matter how rich I am, I won't marry, I will only marry the person I like!"
"Okay, okay, marry the person you like, it's off topic. "Pang Xiaonan doesn't argue with Oda Lima about where the student is the professor's opponent.
After getting married, the two soon had a cute little princess, and the happy family of three lived in a villa. Their villa next door is the daughter of the steel king of Borneo, opposite the door is Prince William and Princess Kate of the Austrian British and American Empire, the market value of the property alone has exceeded 700 million, according to the official, this villa has a total of 57 rooms, in addition to the basic bedroom, kitchen, living room, as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas, gyms, bars, bowling alleys, you can think of all the facilities here. According to the heroine, she doesn't know how many rooms there are in the house, because the home is too big and she is not even familiar with some rooms except for the area where she often moves. β
"The ten houses are also sleeping on one bed, and what do you want so many houses to do, you can't even figure out your own home. Pang Xiaonan remembered that his villa was much smaller than the one described by Lita Ida, but he had never entered some rooms.
"It's not surprising at all, because Tamara's daily routine is just to enjoy life, and he doesn't have to worry about eating, drinking, and sleeping at all. She usually has two personal assistants who are responsible for her daily life, and in addition to these two assistants, there are forty or fifty attendants in the mansion in Tamara who are responsible for various household tasks. Their division of labor is very detailed, not to mention the dedicated housekeeper and head chef, as well as cleaning staff, security personnel, gardeners, clothing managers, and even dog walkers. The home is spotlessly cleaned at all times, and everything you need is visited by professional personnel services. If you want to beautify and style, someone will come to the door with tools immediately; If you want to hold a party, you can immediately build an imaginary dream scene, want to go out, get on your own private jet and go; as two wealthy families who are married, Tamarra's family has its own villas and even properties in many tourist resorts, as for what shopping and buying are all things that Tamara is tired of, because every time the season changes, there will be big names who take the initiative to come to the door to choose. The documentary shows Tamarra's cloakroom, which is simply the dream of all girls. Rita Rita's expression was still very flat, only a slight glint in her eyes, it seemed that women all yearn for the cloakroom.
"Come, tell me, her cloakroom is bigger than the average person's living room. Pang Xiaonan felt that his estimate was too conservative, and added, "No, it should be bigger than two living rooms." β
Oda Rima glanced at Pang Xiaonan and said: "Poverty limits your imagination, Tamarra's cloakroom occupies about 4 rooms, all the clothes are divided according to the four seasons, and it looks like going to a shopping mall all the way, and all kinds of haute couture are dazzling." And Tamara always seems to be buying things in bulk, Victoria has 80 sets of pajamas, Melissa has 60 sets of bikinis, and 70 pairs of sunglasses. Because he loves Chanel's canvas flats, Tamara has a collection of every style and color. As for bags, as long as they are classics of well-known brands, she almost has a full range of various colors, and Chanel bags alone, Tamara has 4,000 of them, and her collection is more complete than that of specialty stores. As for HermΓ¨s, Tamara often used it to draw pictures of his daughter or family members on it, and I seemed to see a designer drawing on a dozen Chinese dollars. According to incomplete estimates, the items stored in Tamarra's cloakroom are worth more than 40 million Chinese dollars, which is almost like a luxury exhibition hall. β
"Is she wearing so many clothes?" Pang Xiaonan picked out a piece of boogers and flicked them hard against the trunk of a tree in the woods next to him.
Tamara herself has no memory of how many pieces she owns, but her cloakroom is always manned by someone who is not only responsible for the furnishings of the cloakroom, but also for the daily maintenance of all kinds of luxury goods, so that each piece is in the best condition when it is taken out. Tamara also has an exclusive image designer, who will match her clothes according to her clothes and print them into photos for Tamara's reference and selection. Tamarra's cloakroom is already so amazing, and Tamarra's daughter Sophie is a collection of thousands of pampering, Tamara said that Sophie has more clothes than herself, but because children grow up fast, Tamara will regularly clean up the little princess's clothes for some donations and charity auctions. β
"Women, I just don't have too many clothes, I'm annoyed by more than three clothes, and I have to think about what clothes I wear every morning. "Pang Xiaonan has always been very uninterested in dressing up, and it is too time-prolonging.
"I think about it like you, and I don't like all the bells and whistles. "As a scientist, except for attending some major conferences, Rita Rima usually dresses very ordinary, and even then, she can't hide her graceful figure.
"With Sophie, Tamara's life revolves almost entirely around her daughter. Material affluence makes Tamara have enough time to give children company, in addition to accompanying the little princess to play and vacation around the world, Tamarra's career also revolves around the maternal and infant industry, Tamara was operating an original maternal and infant brand at the time, producing some high-quality maternal and infant products, Sophie is the queen model of this brand, but looking at the state of Tamarara's entrepreneurship, I really think this is a way for rich people to entertain themselves with nothing to do and show their babies in a high-profile manner. Because Tamarra's daily routine is to come up with a pleasant idea, and then there is a team to help make it happen. The craziest time was when Tamara had a party in the yard, and suddenly wanted to turn the whole mansion into the style of a Swiss chalet. Tamara found a professional team and spent a lot of money to renovate the exterior of the mansion to fulfill this simple wish. It's like building a new house. β
"After all, the top rich people are usually too boring, which is why they love to toss so much. Speaking of which, Pang Xiaonan looked sympathetically at Bridgemorgan behind him, it seems that the happiness of rich people is not something he can experience, and the boredom of rich people is also beyond his reach.
However, Tamarra's husband is a completely different hobby, compared to the girl's various gorgeous princess dreams, Tamarara's husband's daily life is much more plain, nothing is to visit the gallery, buy collectibles, take a private jet to inspect the personal property, by the way, go to Las Vegas and good buddies to gamble a few times, their circle is either rich or expensive, a few people sit together and spend money like dirt is probably like we play mahjong every day. Oda Rima understated it, but she expressed the rich calmly and vividly.
"It's really boring. After listening to Rita Oda's description of the daily life of the top rich, Pang Xiaonan suddenly stopped envying the rich and sympathized with BridgeMorgan's choice.
Rita Rima leaned into Pang Xiaonan's ear and whispered: "Actually, when Bridgemorgan got on the boat, he also told me about his life, and I knew at that time that this documentary is not fictional at all. β
"Oh?" Pang Xiaonan was interested, there was a top rich man by his side, and it was indeed interesting to peek into his life, "Let's hear what kind of drunken life our Mr. BridgeMorgan lived. β
"First of all, he said his luxury yacht," Rita Rima cautiously looked behind her, and found that BridgeMorgan had not followed, before continuing, "Luxury yachts are the toys of the rich at sea, and the price of luxury yachts is generally 30 million Chinese dollars, and the annual maintenance cost is 6 million Chinese yuan. In some coastal cities in China, buying luxury yachts has become a favorite of the wealthy, and the price of a yacht more than 120 meters is between 30 million and 40 million Chinese yuan. If you have a yacht, you have to have someone to drive it, and the cost of hiring a captain of a yacht is about 800,000 Chinese dollars a year, the cost of a cook on board is 400,000 Chinese yuan, and the cost of a waiter on board is 200,000 Chinese yuan. After buying a yacht, I only walked around the sea a few times a year, but the insurance of the yacht for a year cost 1 million Chinese dollars, the dock fee cost 1.2 million Chinese dollars, and the fuel cost cost 1 million Chinese dollars. β
Pang Xiaonan gave a thumbs up to Rita Rima and said, "Your memory is really good, you can remember so many numbers clearly." β
"Then it doesn't need to be said, can you be a professor if you have a bad memory?" Rita Rima and Pang Xiaonan are not modest at all.
"But according to what you say, you will need hundreds of thousands of dollars for gas to drive a yacht. Pang Xiaonan secretly stammered, "It's indeed a bit arrogant." β
"It's nothing, he also told me about his private jet, that's really heroic. Rita Rima and Pang Xiaonan were very close, afraid that BridgeMorgan would hear them talking about him.
"Private jets are toys for the rich in the sky, and when you have enough of playing on the water, you want to have fun in the sky. Private jets can be much more expensive than luxury yachts, with a private jet costing around 300 million Chinese dollars and an annual maintenance cost of 15 million Chinese dollars. The Gulfstream G550 aircraft is the favorite private jet of the rich, and the rich mostly use this aircraft for commercial flights, business, meetings, and convenience. Private jets are mostly used for long-distance flights, and helicopters are used for short distances. The price of the helicopter is 40 million Chinese dollars, and the annual maintenance cost is about 6 million Chinese dollars. According to Bridgemorgan, many of China's largest companies own helicopters for the exclusive use of their presidents. β
"Sure enough, what flies in the sky is much more advanced than what runs on the ground and swims in the water. Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that if he cultivated to become an immortal and flew against the wind, he would be able to save hundreds of millions of expenses, which was too cost-effective.
"He also has a lot of running on the ground," Rita Rima walked a little further away from Pang Xiaonan, because what she was going to talk about next was nothing remarkable, "He said that he had a garage, and the most of them were Rolls-Royce. β
"Professor Rita Rima, I'm a little curious, why did he tell you this?" Pang Xiaonan suddenly realized a question, which top rich man would show off his wealth in front of others so blatantly, it was all the behavior of the nouveau riche.
"How do I know?" Rima Oda moved her shoulders, and the backpack strangled her shoulders with two deep indentations.
"I guess, he's interesting to you," Pang Xiaonan touched his chin and pretended to be deep, "It's hard to find a rich girl who is the right person for him, so he wants to find a scientist and inherit her smart brain......"
"Look for death!" Oda Rima ignored the weight on her body, and flew up and kicked Pang Xiaonan's waist.
The further you go, the more beautiful the scenery becomes. The surrounding area is no longer dominated by trees, but flowers and plants are gradually increasing, which can be described as full of mountains.
Coming to a small hillside, Pang Xiaonan raised his eyes and saw that all colorful flowers were blooming all over the hillside, like a flower valley.
"It's so beautiful!" Rita Rima couldn't help but exclaim.
Pang Xiaonan carefully identified the flowers in the valley, but couldn't name them, he turned his head and asked Xiao Tian Lima, "Do you know these flowers?"
Oda Rima picked up a small light blue flower, put it under her nose and smelled it, squinting her eyes to feel the fragrance of the flower, and after a while, she exhaled a long breath and said, "This is an orchid, no, this is the ancestor of orchids." β
"Orchids?" Pang Xiaonan was a little surprised, "Aren't orchids supposed to bloom in the mountains? β
"That's our orchid there," Oda Rima guessed, "and it's possible that in New Bloss, the orchid blooms on the hillside." And this orchid, blooming on such a large scale, is not the growth of orchids in our common sense. β
"Yes, orchids generally grow alone. Pang Xiaonan looked at this kind of orchid all over the mountains, and thought that if he could bring it back, he would be rich, and the orchids of a better variety were sold for tens of thousands of plants in reality, and so many plants here were worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
"And it's strange, you see," Rita Rima pointed to the flower next to the orchid, "the flowers here are all symbiotic, and there are no two flowers of the same kind next to each other. β
Pang Xiaonan looked over, indeed, all kinds of flowers have no signs of recognizance, often a small red flower, next to a yellow flower, and then next to a purple flower, which makes the entire hillside look like a colorful flower blanket.
"I'm going to slide down. Rita Lima rushed to a steep hill and sat down on the ground as soon as she sat down the slope.
BridgeMorgan and Wu Yongqiang followed, both stunned by the scenery in front of them. Wu Yongqiang stepped forward and asked Pang Xiaonan: "There won't be any danger hidden in this flower." β
"It's hard to say," Pang Xiaonan didn't dare to pack a ticket, in New Bloss, it is often the calmest place, and it contains great danger, "but if we want to go forward, we must pass through this sea of flowers." β
"I think there must be an undercurrent hidden under this sea of flowers. Bridgemorgan's brow furrowed slightly, he had been through too many dangers, and he had developed the habit of thinking about the worst in everything.
"Well," Pang Xiaonan nodded and glanced at Bridgemorgan, "You'd better put on your armor in case there are any hidden animals under the sea of flowers, such as poisonous snakes and the like." β
Bridgemorgan pursed his lips and nodded, and immediately began to put the box on his back on the ground and began to put on his armor.
"Aha......" Oda Rima had already slid down the hill excitedly, Pang Xiaonan didn't have time to stop it, so he had to follow quickly and trotted all the way down the hill behind Oda Rima.
"This crazy woman, it's really deadly, if something comes out of the flowers, I may not have time to save you!" Pang Xiaonan thought as he ran, looking left and right from time to time, beware of something coming out of the flowers.
Wu Yongqiang also followed behind Pang Xiaonan, and the three of them opened a straight line on the flowery hillside one after the other, dividing the sea of flowers into two, which was to make a cut in a piece of flower cloth.
After BridgeMorgan put on his armor, he did not choose to follow Wu Yongqiang down the mountain, but followed the example of Rita Yama nearby, sat on the ground, and slid down the hill.
BridgeMorgan's armor was so hard that no amount of thorns could penetrate it, so he rolled among the flowers without fear. His figure opened a hole in the sea of flowers, and now, the colorful flower blanket was cut twice, and it didn't look so neat.
Soon, several people were in the valley, but they had to go uphill to keep going.
