"Do you think everyone is as careless and uneducated as you?"
Shen Shiyu gave him a bunch of boneless duck paws, picked them off with chopsticks and put them on Liang De's plate, saying:
"When you go to work in Thunder Bluff, you don't read the history of Thunder Bluff. When you work under Mr. Tai Fengxian, you don't buy Utopia Fist. When you work in literature and art, you don't read the principles of aesthetics..."
"Okay, okay, everything you said is right."
Liang De interrupted the trial comment which tended to be chatty and said:
"If you are ugly, you should study more. I will change. I will definitely change in the future."
He swallowed the boneless duck paw in his mouth and said to the thrips:
"Lao Tie, which department are you in Yingxuetang Bookstore?"
"The Literary and Art Department is mainly responsible for urging several new writers to submit their manuscripts."
Thrip used his innate strength to cut the Chiba tofu and Zuohai fish slippery into hundreds of thin paper-like squares, put them together in the order of one layer of tofu and one layer of fish slipper, then dipped them in a little wasabi soy sauce and put them in his mouth.
"Did Teacher Du introduce you there?"
"Well, he said that I am cruel and don't talk much, so I am suitable for this line of work."
Teacher Du really has a keen eye for recognizing talents...those new writers are lucky.
The three of them chatted while eating Jiugongge hotpot.
The few months they had graduated from Sheng Wuxu Private High School had been enough for them to feel the vastness and horror of the Kyoto and Kaiyuan coasts, but it was not enough for them to make new friends and become familiar with their new living conditions.
Liang De is good, he knows what he wants.
Although he doesn’t know when his goal of returning to his hometown of Blue Star will be realized, he always has a clear goal that he can pursue hard.
Neither Shen Shiyu nor Jima Ranyi chose to return to the world where they originally came from. As Jie Yuan practitioners, they live in the infinitely vast realms on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and just do what they can. Regarding the matter (emotion), there was a slight confusion in the words.
Liang De felt that the two of them had not found what they particularly wanted to do (love) and did not understand what kind of life they wanted to live.
Not every Jie Yuan practitioner will do everything possible to improve themselves. Jie Yuan practitioners who have stayed in the lower Baijie position throughout their lives account for the vast majority of this group, and among them, White Jie Yuan practitioners who have not condensed their true nature (xìng) account for the majority. The overwhelming majority.
After all, the longevity of White Tribulation Walkers is already long enough, and the magical skills they master are sufficient most of the time. By the time they reach a certain age, they have probably found a accustomed lifestyle, and the resources they possess are generally sufficient to spend.
The strongest has its own strong hand, and longevity may not lead to happiness.
Only those who have all three elements of luck, talent, and hard work can reach the top. Among these three elements, luck and talent probably play a slightly higher role than hard work.
Therefore, those who have found their comfort zone rarely continue to work hard. For example, many middle and low-level managers who work in the Kukai 500 companies. As the middle class among the Kaigengong, they may only travel to new places when on vacation. In the world, I usually don’t bother to run around and take risks.
The "young people" in Jie Yuan Walker are not living a very happy life.
The goal cannot be said to be clear, the acquaintances cannot be said to be friends, and the crystal clusters cannot be said to be sufficient.
It would be easy for them to just find a low-demon world and become a lone Taoist and become a Buddha, but that would seem to be a waste of the Jie Yuan Walker's capital.
Are you unwilling to be unknown and want to make a name for yourself in the infinitely vast world of Kaihara Kukai?
It seems a bit too ambitious.
This is not a question that words can answer, only time can give the answer.
Therefore, most of Liang De's freshly graduated classmates are living in emptiness, and even strong people like Shen Shiyu and Ji Ma are a little confused.
Liang De raised the glass containing honey sea buckthorn juice:
"Um, let me tell you an old saying that is rotten.
Doing good deeds without asking for reward.
Whatever the hell, just do it. "
The three cups clinked together, making a still somewhat confused sound.
…
Two o'clock in the evening.
Thrip took out the dozens of standing tools placed in the ice-blue storage bracelet and checked them. Chainsword, soul-locking nail, net gun, local fixation (body shēn) talisman, thunder chair, regret Whip, truth hammer, thought blade... After confirming that the tools were in good condition, she put them back one by one.
"I'm going to press the manuscript."
Ji Ma got up and walked to the door. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he said without looking back:
"By the way, during the graduation trip, thank you."
She made a vague gesture with her fingers, unfolded a hexagonal boundary door in front of her body, stepped into the door with a pair of long legs like spears and halberds, and disappeared.
"She said thank you. What were you thinking about if you didn't speak for a long time?"
Shen Shiyu peeled off the black tiger shrimp in his hand, lowering his head and unable to see his expression clearly.
Liang Debiao sternly adjusted his non-existent glasses:
"I was wondering...if she paid the bill."
Shen Shiyu rolled his eyes: "That's all you have to offer!"
"Go out for a smoke?"
"Um."
In the back alley of the hot pot restaurant, Liang De and Shen Shiyu leaned against the wall casually.
He lit a cigarette, and a spark lit up between his fingers, like a firefly on a summer night.
The two of them lowered their heads to face the fire as usual, and the dark green hair was blown to his cheeks by the night wind.
Mint-scented light blue smoke rose into the night sky in the back alley, and the distance between the two sparks remained basically unchanged.
"Don't ask about your future...what if you really can't go back?"
"Only when I'm dead can I say that I really can't go back. If I'm not dead, I'll continue to crash. If I'm dead, I don't have to think about this problem."
"If uncle, aunt, and Xiao Shaoer knew about your current situation, they would definitely not want you to take risks all the time."
"Whatever, I've been disobedient since I was a child, and no one can control me."
"Yes, you have been in need of sex since you were a child, and no one can control you."
"You come back with me."
"Ahem..."
Shen Shiyu choked on the menthol cigarette. She did not take away the cigarette. Instead, she took a deep breath and then turned to look into the eyes of the person next to her.
Liang De clasped his fingers and said:
"Teacher Fengxian said that I will be reimbursed for the travel expenses back. If you use my world-crossing gate to return to world No. 415 on this side first, you can also reimburse me for returning to the headquarters of Mo Heavy Industry from No. 415. You can at least save money on this trip by taking the high-speed waterway. Two or three thousand crystal clusters are quite a bargain."
Shen Shiyu put out his cigarette butt on the moss-mottled wall and walked out of the alley without saying a word.
"Hey, your salary is only that much, so why are you so arrogant?
Don't underestimate these travel expenses. If you can usually get a car, you can take a car. If you accumulate it day by day, you can save a lot of money. "
"you shut up!"
"Why are you still angry? Do you want to go together tomorrow?"
Liang De threw the cigarette butt into his mouth to decompose it and chattered behind the judge.
"You have to change your lavish habits. Let's talk about Wei Yue Seiko's inner portal. Why don't you just buy a second-hand one?
My mother said, as long as the things you use are solid, it doesn’t matter if they are new or not. I read on the Internet that you can save hundreds by using second-hand ones.
If you have spare money, you can set up a fund for fixed investment. You can also save it. Crystal clusters (very tǐng) maintain their value. You can beat inflation by relying on current interest. You can also trade in stocks. I have been following the financial edition of "Learning from the World" for a long time. I have time. I would like to recommend a few to you..."
"Shut up!"
