Chapter 157 Traps and Jokes
After eating, Blair walked to Zhang Ping and wince at him. Zhang Ping knew her hint. Seeing that Xiao Ru was talking to Zhuang Yan, he followed Blair to the back of the wooden house. Sure enough, Kofir was waiting for him with a smile. While talking and laughing in front, the two took Zhang Ping to a forest and stopped.
Zhang Ping felt surprised and was about to ask what was going on. Suddenly, the soles of his feet were empty and he didn't feel good. He jumped sideways and jumped to the side. A pedal suddenly appeared in the place where I stepped on it just now. A trap? At this time, looking at the two women, there was no trace of them. I didn't think well, but I was fooled. Looking around, this is a narrow bamboo forest. When it is blown by the wind, the bamboo leaves cling, and the sound of birds in the distance comes faintly.
Zhang Ping increased his vigilance and slowly returned along the same road. After taking two steps, his ears shrugged: there was a bow string three meters away on the left. Zhang Ping did not think about it. He quickly retreated two steps back, and a cold light swept over the place where he had just stood. Before he could stop completely, the shadow on his head felt that a long knife had jumped down. Zhang Ping pretended not to know. When the shadow was about to be in place, he dodged aside and kicked out. The man was kicked away and screamed.
After a while, Zhang Ping pulled out three nails and walked through four traps before he could walk out of the bamboo forest. When he arrived at Linwai, Cofir smiled with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Zhang Ping, successfully joining our team. Zhang Ping, your performance is much better than I thought. In half a year, I hope you can give me a surprise.
Zhang Ping was relieved. It turned out that this was what they called a test. Ha ha, I won't pursue it anymore, and I'm happy with the two of them.
Back to the room, everyone is continuing the topic just now, but it has extended to the differences of ethnicities and the collision of different cultures.
Beru is very proud of the humor of Europeans. He said a joke about heaven and hell:
In heaven, the British should be the police, the French should be the cook, the German should be the mechanic, the Italian should be the couple, and the Swiss should be the general manager; but in hell? The Germans are the police, the British are the chefs, the French are the mechanics, and the Italians are the general manager.
In fact, this joke is no longer in line with reality. Everyone understands what Beru means: it is a joke, but it implies that it is about the euro zone. It is so difficult to establish its system, and it is undoubtedly even more difficult to integrate such a group of Europeans with different personalities.
But when Jordan confidently said that the euro was bound to collapse, Bei Lu was full of confidence in the euro: "Yes, there are too many small countries in Europe, and there are many differences. But no country in the world is as closely interdependent as European countries. Over the past 2,000 years, there has been an average of war in Europe every five years. But the war did not make Europeans go further and further, but became more and more friendly, because Europeans have common values.
Lewis, a famous British cross-cultural research expert, said that Europeans have formed a huge, attractive, talented and creative family. Unfortunately, like a real family, they have setbacks, emotional changes, quarrels, love and hate.
I believe that the final result is that Europe will become an integrated Europe, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of Chinese civilization. Are you right? Zhuang Yan."
Zhuang Yan didn't expect that Beilu turned the conversation to her in the end. Seeing that the two seemed to have some signs of arguing, she had an idea and thought of a joke. However, before telling the joke, she stated in advance that this was just a joke. I hope you don't mind if it involves it:
An American, a Japanese and a Chinese are walking in the desert. As I walked, I saw a bottle. After opening the cork, a person floated out. The man said, "I'm an immortal. I can fulfill the three wishes of each of you!"
The first American rushed to say, "My first wish is to ask for a lot of money." The fairy said, "This is simple and satisfies you! Let's talk about the second wish. The American said, "I still need a lot of money!" After the fairy fulfilled his wish, the American said his third wish: "Take me home." The fairy said, "No problem." So the Americans returned to the United States with a lot of money.
The immortal asked the Japanese again. The Japanese said, "I want beautiful women!" The fairy gave him a beautiful woman. The Japanese said, "I still want beautiful women!" The fairy also satisfied him and gave him a beautiful woman. The Japanese finally said, "send me back to France."
After sending the Japanese back to China, the immortals asked the Chinese what they wanted. The Chinese said, "Let's have a bottle of Erguotou first." The fairy gave it to him. Ask him what his second wish is. The Chinese said: Another bottle of Erguotou!" The fairy asked him what his third wish was. The Chinese said, "I miss the Japanese and Americans very well. You can get them all back."
The Japanese and the United States are very popular, but they have no choice but to continue to walk.
As I walked, I saw another bottle. After opening the plug, another person appeared. The man said, "I'm the younger brother of the fairy just now. His mana is not as strong as his, so I can only satisfy the wishes of each of you."
The Japanese and the Americans sum up and think that it's better to let the Chinese say it first, so as not to be brought back by him later. So the Chinese said, "Then let's have a bottle of Erguotou first." The fairy fulfilled his wish. The Japanese and Americans urged the Chinese to express their second wish quickly.
After drinking Erguotou, the Chinese said to the immortals slowly, "Oi, it's okay. Let's go."
The immortals have disappeared. Americans and Japanese looked at each other and were speechless. The three people continued to walk forward, and then they found another bottle. When they opened it, another fairy appeared. The fairy said, "I'm the younger brother of the two immortals you met in front of you. My magic power is not as high as theirs. I can only satisfy each of you one wish. Which one of you will say first?"
The Americans hurriedly said, "I don't want to see that Chinese anymore." The fairy said, "Okay." Then he turned his head and asked the Japanese, "What about yours?" The Japanese hurriedly said, "I don't want to see that Chinese either." The fairy said, "Okay." Then he turned his head and asked the Chinese, "What about yours?" The Chinese said, "What they say doesn't count."
So the Americans and Japanese followed the Chinese. As they walked, they saw a bottle. After opening the cork, another person floated out. The man said, 'I'm the apprentice of the immortal apprentice. I can only fulfill one wish of the three of you!' The American and the Japanese shouted in one voice, 'What the Chinese said is nothing.' The man said, 'Okay', so he turned his head and asked the Chinese, 'What do you want to say?' The Chinese said, 'Let them all go back to their respective countries. Don't suffer with me.'
The three people continued to walk. They saw the edge of the desert and were about to succeed! Suddenly, a group of indigenous people gathered around.
The chief said: I want to see which of you is the smartest and the smartest can leave, and the remaining two stay. I want to hit each of you with 100 sticks, but each of you can make a request before hitting.
Americans think about it: put a cushion. The chief ordered: OK. As a result, the mat was broken, and the Americans were beaten half to death.
The Japanese said: Put 10 cushions for me. As a result, the mat was broken. The Japanese were fine. He laughed, hahahahaha, is the Japanese smart?
The chief said to the Chinese: You say it.
The Chinese said: Put the Japanese on the ground. And face up!
After telling the joke, everyone present laughed. Those young Americans were not angry because they were teased, but Miko said sharply: "This joke is completely in line with the psychological characteristics of Chinese people, and they like to make up some jokes to meet their psychological needs. In fact, for Chinese people, what they are best at is fantasy, and they are used to living in their dreams. When you encounter something, you blindly play tricks, but you often avoid difficult problems or simply turn a shrinking turtle. You won't know how to resist until the knife is on your neck.
In fact, Zhang Ping also knows that what Yumiko said is also reasonable. But she can't accept her contempt for the Chinese nation. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You're right. China has been rich and noble, and has been defeated several times. It has been peaceful for a long time, and there have been unremembered tyranny, chaos and disasters. In the long history, everything that may have happened has happened in the land of China. The Chinese people are indeed the most knowledgeable people in the world, so they have also accumulated the richest survival wisdom. This land is really too old. He retreated his anger and polished his sharpness. He didn't believe it. Don't be too serious about everything. Everything is slow. Everything is stable. The water comes and the earth is covered, and the soldiers will block it. However, it is exactly like this. So far, this is the only ancient civilization that has survived. The so-called existence is the truth. Doesn't this mean everything?
Tom knew that Zhang Ping was a guest invited by Blair, but he was also curious about the ancient and magical land, so he asked, "However, I have heard a lot of bad news about China. Among other things, there are always Chinese people buying houses on the high-priced Gold Coast on the north coast of Long Island in New York, and even many people make one-time cash transactions. Even for most American millionaires, I'm afraid they have to pay in installments, but these people can take out a large amount of funds at once. There is news that many of them are done by some corrupt officials in your country. What do you think?
Zhang Ping pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Yes, these people are all Chinese worms. In terms of combating corrupt crimes and extradition of corrupt officials, what China has done is far from enough. It should be said that this is a systemic problem. But it should also be seen that the reform of the system is not achieved overnight. Of course, there are actually some ways. If you say... Zhang Ping suddenly felt that he had talked too much, so he smiled and stopped saying, "I'm not an official. It's useless to say so much. Well, don't mention these. Don't mention these"
However, when the topic begins, it is difficult to take it back. There was also a heated discussion on democracy and the system.
I have to say that this group of people are indeed elites. I not only have a deep understanding of the separation of powers in the United States, but also have a certain degree of understanding of Europe, China and Japan. Their discussion has also been a great reference for Zhang Ping, especially for the network monitoring game platform planned by him and Bai Qingsong.
What makes him feel that this trip is worth it is that he accidentally met Zhuang Yan, which also opens up an idea. If it can be implemented well, it will undoubtedly be a great help to his Dark Alliance.
