Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was starting to heat up, they heard Roy and Veelong arguing behind them:

"You've been bothering me the whole way. Can you please be quiet? I told you that the food is different in every place. This time we're going to Jiangxi to have iron pot stew, and we'll have Jiangxi stir-fry and some wine."

However, Roy continued to harass Wei Long relentlessly, constantly complaining about why so many delicious foods in China were scattered so far apart, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Can we really spend the New Year here? Can't we stay a little longer? I want to try more of the local food! After I've learned my lesson, I can bring my wife and baby daughter next time."

Wei Long, feeling harassed, looked directly at Shen Lan, who was still resting with his eyes closed behind them. Now, the only person who could make Roy quiet down was Shen Lan.

"Alright Roy, this vacation was hard-won. You know, Uluru and Terry are still guarding the Secret Service. Behave yourself. If you do well this time, you'll have another chance to come out next time."

These words successfully calmed Roy down. Upon reflection, it seemed to be true. When the Special Operations Department heard that Deep Blue had requested that the entire department go to China for the Chinese New Year, they were so frightened that they almost flew over to check on their mental health.

However, after Deep Blue's bargaining, the higher-ups finally agreed, but two people had to stay in the Special Operations Department to guard the base. So, Uluru and Terry volunteered to stay.

The others also accompanied Zhang Hao to China in this world, and returned after spending the Spring Festival there.

After getting off the plane, Zhang Hao followed Mai Xiaowen and Weilong and quickly ran out of the airport. Looking at the lively atmosphere on the street, even though it was already night, the streets were still quite bustling.

"Hurry, hurry, Weilong, we need to take... three cars, I'm worried that Instructor Shenlan won't have enough seats. I've already booked this hotel."

Once they reached the street, the group hailed three taxis and sped off towards the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, Roy and Weilong thought the three girls would definitely argue about who would share a room with Xiaohao, but to their surprise, Mai Xiaowen, who was the most easily offended, calmly took out her ID cards and other documents from everyone, and then handed over several room keys to them.

"You two will share a room, and you can decide how to allocate it yourselves. Come on, Xiao Hao, I specially booked a presidential suite for you this time, even though it cost a lot of money! Hehehe, you're not getting away tonight!"

After saying that, ignoring the strange looks from the people around them, the three women dragged Zhang Hao upstairs.

"By the way, come downstairs as soon as you're done putting your things down. We're going to grab some late-night snacks later!"

Roy and Red Wolf were immediately overjoyed. Although they had eaten on the plane that night, they had been sitting for quite some time, and Roy said he was starving.

"Let's go, we'll share a room, and Red Wolf and Instructor Deep Blue will share a room. Perfect! Hurry up and put your things down, let's go get some late-night snacks!"

After putting their things away, everyone went downstairs. Once everyone was there, Mai Xiaowen and Weilong acted as guides, leading them to the street to find something to eat.

"Wow, the security here in China is indeed world-class. You know, back in Brazil, most people who dare to go out at this time are local gangsters."

Red Wolf looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Hao, looking at the food stalls nearby, said:

"This food stall looks pretty good. Shall we come here and try it out?"

Zhang Hao's suggestion was quickly agreed upon by everyone, and so the group went to the food stall.

"Boss, are your dishes very spicy?"

While ordering, Roy curiously asked the owner, who, seeing Roy was a foreigner, nodded in agreement.

"That's right, our spicy food here is really addictive. But I need to remind you, foreign friend, that it's best to order a mild version to try it out. After all, if you don't have some basic spice knowledge, our Jiangxi-style spiciness might be too spicy for you."

Roy became interested upon hearing this, and after glancing at Wei Long, he said:

"It's okay, boss. Listen to my authentic Chinese accent. This pack is for spicy food, okay? Come on, give me this beef and chicken feet, right? Extra spicy. And this turtle too, give me the spiciest one. We have a Sichuanese here, you know. These are just simple."

When Zhang Hao saw that Roy, this ignorant guy, actually dared to order such dishes, he silently shook his head, and then ordered a few dishes that everyone else could eat.

"Roy, don't say I didn't warn you, this is really spicy, you might not be able to handle it. Even Brother Wei Long probably couldn't handle it."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but recall his previous life when he ate out in Jiangxi. He and his roommate recklessly ordered super spicy stir-fried duck. Towards the end, Zhang Hao and his roommate were crying while eating, and they would sniffle from time to time. There was no way around it; they had already spent the money, and it would be a waste not to eat it.

Moreover, after eating that meal, Zhang Hao had diarrhea in the toilet for several days.

"It's okay, Xiao Hao. Just wait and see. I can still handle spicy food."

Seeing Roy's confidence, Zhang Hao told Mai Xiaowen and the others to remember to record Roy's appearance directly with their phones later.

Happy New Year (2)

"Wow, this dish looks really good, and it smells amazing! Xiao Hao, you should know how to make this dish, right? How come I've never seen you make it when we were in the Special Operations Unit?"

Zhang Hao didn't say much about it, but told Luo Yi to eat first. If he still didn't understand after finishing the dishes, he would answer the question Luo Yi had raised.

After only catching a whiff of the aromas emanating from Roy's dishes, Mai Xiaowen covered her nose and began criticizing Roy and Weilong:

"You two are really something! Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, don't get an upset stomach tonight. If you both have stomach problems, just wait to watch us enjoy delicious and spicy food in the hospital!"

Then, seeing the stir-fry that Zhang Hao had ordered for her without chili peppers, Mai Xiaowen happily began to enjoy it.

Shen Lan looked at the bright red turtle in front of Roy and Wei Long and silently swallowed. However, when she thought of the spicy hot pot that Xiao Hao had made for them that day, Shen Lan shook her head and gave up the dangerous idea in her head.

Deep Blue: Oh no, I'm getting old. At most, they'll have diarrhea for a day after eating this. But for an old person like me, I should take good care of my stomach. This braised chicken wing looks pretty good. I'll go back and see how to make it. If I really don't know how, I'll ask Xiao Hao to teach me.

"Whoosh!!!"

Just a few minutes later, a series of exclamations came from Roy's side. Roy was staring in astonishment at the extremely spicy turtle in front of him and couldn't help but say:

"I... Oh my god, something's wrong! This turtle, this thing can bite! Oh my god, my mouth is numb from being bitten!"

"You were burned by the spiciness. I told you not to challenge the super spicy one, Luna... you don't actually want to try it, do you?"

As soon as Mai Xiaowen finished speaking, she turned around and saw that Luna was also staring blankly at the turtle.

"I think I should be able to do it. The turkey noodles from my hometown are quite spicy for you, aren't they? I think... I should be able to give it a try."

After Luna finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks, removed the chili peppers from the meat, and put it in her mouth to taste.

Mai Xiaowen: Tsk tsk tsk, this one bite could kill me.

"It's delicious, Zoya, would you like to try some?"

After taking a couple of bites of the extremely spicy turtle, Luna first settled into her chair, then, with an air of savoring the delicious food, quietly turned to Zoya and asked.

"Really? You're not kidding me, are you? Roy's eaten like that, I have a feeling you're not up to any good either?"

Zoya was also somewhat skeptical, but seeing how delicious Luna looked, Zoya couldn't resist the temptation and followed Luna's example, picking up a piece of meat and eating it.

"Hey... Old Deng, why don't you try some too?"

After Zoya put the food in her mouth, she stared at Luna with wide eyes. Good grief, Luna is actually starting to play mind games with me now, isn't she?

But just as Zoya was about to explode, she suddenly thought of her good teacher, Deep Blue, and immediately asked:

"If you're not going to eat it, fine, but next time you say that, I suggest you look at Roy and Veelong's expressions. I think you're probably the only one here who would fall for it. No wonder Luna thought of asking you if you wanted to eat this."

However, to Zoya's surprise, her plan to use Luna's trick against Deep Blue turned out to be completely exposed by Deep Blue.

"Damn! This is so spicy! Is there anything that can relieve the spiciness? Quick, quick, quick!"

Seeing this, Zhang Hao quickly gave Luna and Zoya each a bottle of yogurt. Under the influence of the yogurt, the two recovered.

"Phew, forget it, let's just eat what Xiao Hao ordered for us. I doubt only Wei Long and Roy could stomach such delicious food."

Meanwhile, Roy was so satisfied with the food that he "cried with joy," and even though Wei Long could eat spicy food, he was still sweating profusely and constantly hissing and panting.

"Hehehe, hurry up and take a picture! This can be used as an embarrassing moment in their history as spicy food kings!"

Mai Xiaowen, with a playful grin, simply picked up her phone and started snapping photos of the two of them. Wei Long had no choice but to surrender.

"Ugh! No, no, this isn't the same spiciness as the Sichuan kind. This is just pure spiciness! Oh, I can't take it, I can't take it! Roy, you're our last hope, so please don't waste any food!"

After hearing Veelong's words, Roy gave him a betrayed look. Veelong, you bastard! You're the one in the entire Special Operations Department who can handle spicy food the most!

In the end, Roy collapsed unconscious in the chair. Wei Long thoughtfully went to the pharmacy to buy a box of antidiarrheal medicine, since Roy would probably be running to the toilet like crazy tonight, even before tomorrow.

"Alright, everyone, goodnight. Get some rest, tomorrow is New Year's Eve!"

Zhang Hao waved to the others and then followed Mai Xiaowen upstairs to sleep. He hadn't gotten a good rest on the plane!

"I'm leaving now, goodnight!"

. . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Early the next morning.

Meanwhile, Roy and Veelong's room was also packed with people. Everyone was bored and waiting for Roy, who was still in the bathroom, to come out.

"Roy, are you done pooping yet? We're all waiting for you. By the way, are you even able to walk today? We heard from Wei Long that you've been running to the toilet like crazy since last night. If you really can't, you should just rest here. We'll bring you some food later."

"No way! I've come all this way to China, how can I just stay in my dorm room all the time! Help me break through the cauldron!"

In the end, Roy, with his extremely strong willpower, managed to separate from the toilet lady after giving himself an injection.

"Let's go, let's go out! I'll tone it down a bit at noon, but tonight I'll have a big feast!"

Happy New Year (3)

Once on the street, Roy, who had grown up on the streets of London, experienced the atmosphere of Chinese New Year up close for the first time. Watching the people strolling along the street, Roy couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder it's the safest country in the world, really... The atmosphere here is just wonderful. Xiao Hao, you hope Asara can be like this in China, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Hao simply smiled and shook his head.

“No, Uncle Roy, you know, China has always been practicing the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This path can indeed bring some inspiration to Asara, but I think Asara cannot simply copy what we in China have done.”

Looking at this future China, Zhang Hao was filled with emotion. In the past few decades, China's technological level had far exceeded his imagination.

"What's wrong with Xiao Hao? Why are you staring blankly at this? Are you feeling a little out of place?"

Seeing Zhang Hao's expression, Mai Xiaowen asked him a question. Zhang Hao, having recovered from his daze, scratched his head and chuckled.

"No, Sister Xiaowen, I just feel like the scene before me is a bit dreamlike. You know, in my memory, China was still in 2025. I didn't expect that China's technological progress today would make me feel like it's not real."

"Hmph, it's alright, Xiao Hao. You know, China's progress has always been far ahead of the competition. This is just basic stuff."

As Mai Xiaowen spoke, she frantically rubbed Zhang Hao's face, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. Now that the year is over, according to the Chinese tradition of counting age by the lunar calendar, Xiao Hao can be considered 18 years old.

Mai Xiaowen: Hehehe, after I go back home after the New Year, I must find an opportunity to give Xiaohao a big "surprise"!

"Let's go grab some food first. There's a fireworks show on the shore here tonight. By the way, Deep Blue, should we buy a bunch of fireworks to take to Asara? After all, it's forbidden to set off fireworks here in China. Let's have a blast in Asara!"

Upon hearing this, Roy, Weilong, and Zhang Hao's eyes lit up, and they all turned to look at Shenlan.

"Uncle Deep Blue~~~"

"Buy! Buy more so that Xiao Hao can have a good time, okay? This task is now yours. Let's go, Xiao Hao, let's keep going."

Upon receiving the order, Wei Long and Roy immediately went to the fireworks shop to buy fireworks with big smiles on their faces. Since Shen Lan had spoken, they had to have a good time this time!

"Come on, Old Deng, let me show you some of the entertainment that young people have these days. There's a drinking challenge over there. If you finish drinking these eight bowls of wine, you can win a brand new keyboard and mouse set!"

Zoya saw the area where people had gathered and craned her neck to look. After seeing the reward for successfully completing the challenge, Zoya quickly drank some Deep Blue and said:
