The mellow aroma of Hong Kong-style milk tea collides with the roar of ancient mythical beasts, and the war of civilizations spanning five thousand years is hidden under the neon signs. The 30-year-old milk tea shop owner was once rich, and he was eking out a living at his old shop on Nathan Road. Until he closed the stall that night, a can of expired black and white evaporated milk made his soul travel to the year 2188 - the high-rise buildings in the future world were occupied by giant beasts from "The Book of Mountains and Seas". What was suspended in the sky was not an aircraft, but a battlefield between the poor and the gluttonous.
Forced to bind the "Mountain and Sea Tea Classic System", he discovered that his Hong Kong-style milk tea could awaken ancient mythical beasts: the denseness of stocking milk tea awakened Bai Zezhi brain, the sourness of frozen lemon tea summoned the candle dragon to open its eyes, and a cup of mandarin duck mixed with blood and tears made the rampaging glutton willing to surrender. But crises ensued - the Space-Time Administration's particle cannon aimed at his teapot imprint, and the mechanical tea pets crawling out of the cracks in Guixu were eating away at the fragrance of tea in every time and space. In the deepest part of the system, there was actually the "Civilization Annihilation Agreement" signed by him.
When the purple clay pots sprouted trees that connected the ancient world, and when the Pu'er tea cakes turned into oracle bones that sealed the Taotie, Zeng Fugui was shocked to realize that what he was brewing was not milk tea, but the lifeblood of civilization. Traveling between cyber Hong Kong and ancient mountains and seas, he used tea as a sword in the chanting of quantum Buddhist monks: using Wuyi rock tea to restart Nuwa's breathing soil, using the starch of pearl milk tea to reconstruct Fuxi Bagua, and even brewing the energy of the collapse of a black hole into the last cup of stocking milk tea. But the cruelest truth gradually emerged - the ordinary shopkeeper preparing drinks behind the tea cabinet may be the original digger of the Guixu crack.
Neon and spells fly together, and the fragrance of tea bleeds together
