"Do you think everyone is as idle and uneducated as you are?"
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 his novels; 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 reviewer who was tending to ramble 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 uses his innate strength to cut the Chiba tofu and Zuohai fish sliders into hundreds of thin paper-like squares, stack them together in the order of one layer of tofu and one layer of fish sliders, dip them in a little wasabi and soy sauce and put them in his mouth.
"Did Teacher Du introduce you there?"
"Well, he said that I am a cruel person 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 hot pot.
The few months since they graduated from Sheng Wuxu Private High School have been enough for them to feel the vastness and terror of both sides of Jie Yuan Kong Hai, but it is 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.
Shen Shiyu and Ji Ma were alone, and neither of them chose to return to the world where they originally came from. As Jie Yuan practitioners, they were in the infinite and vast realms on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. They were just doing what they could do, and there was a slight confusion in their words.
Liang De felt that the two of them had not found what they particularly wanted to do, and they did not know what kind of life they wanted to live.
Not every Jie Yuan Walker will do everything possible to improve himself. Jie Yuan Walkers who have stayed in the lower White Tribulation position throughout their lives account for the vast majority of this group, and among them, White Tribulation Walkers who have not condensed their true nature account for the vast majority.
.
After all, the lifespan of the White Tribulation Walkers is already long enough, and the magical skills they have mastered 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 strong will always have the strong hand, and longevity may not lead to happiness.
Only those who possess 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 middle-class people in the Kaigen Gyoja community, 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 an ancestor, but that would seem to be a waste of the Jie Yuan practitioner's capital.
Are you unwilling to remain unknown and want to make a name for yourself in the infinitely vast world of Kūkai Hara?
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 live in emptiness, and even strong people like Shen Shiyu and Ji Ma feel a little confused.
Liang De raised the glass containing honey sea buckthorn juice:
"Well, let me tell you an old saying.
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 dozens of common tools placed in the ice-blue storage bracelet and checked them. Chainsword, soul-locking nail, net gun, partial amulet, thunder chair, regret whip, vomiting
Real 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."
Thrip stood up and walked to the door. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he said without looking back:
"By the way, thank you during the graduation trip."
She made a vague gesture with her fingers, opened a hexagonal boundary door in front of her, stepped into the door with a pair of long legs like spears and halberds, and disappeared.
"She said thank you. What did you think of when you didn't speak for a long time?"
Shen Shiyu peeled off the black tiger shrimp in his hand, lowering his head to see his expression clearly.
Liang De adjusted his non-existent glasses with a serious expression:
"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 hotpot 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 haven't been obedient 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 her head 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 proud?
Don’t underestimate these travel expenses. If you can usually take a ride, you can take a ride. If it accumulates over time, 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 habit. Let's talk about Wei Yue Seiko's inner portal. Can't you 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, or you can save it. Crystal Clusters is a good store of value, and you can beat inflation by relying on current interest. You can also trade in stocks. I have been following the financial edition of "The Lesson of the World" for a long time, and I will recommend it to you when I have time.
