Chapter 99: A well-known, follow-up reading for a monthly pass)
"Haven't you ever thought about finding a girlfriend?"
Sitting in the taxi, Liu Nan held the warm sweet potato in her hand. The faint warmth softened her stiff fingers, "I'm afraid you will die alone if you do this."
He could remember the cold weather and the girls' cold hands.
Aside from He Ao's behavior of asking for money, he is actually quite considerate.
He Ao glanced at Liu Nan warily. When someone who owes you money tries to tell you some principles of life, then she most likely wants to default on the debt.
"It's six and a half yuan in total. The most I can give you is the fifty cents. It can't be any cheaper. I bought roasted sweet potatoes from an aunt I know well. The six yuan is the purchase price."
You even made fifty cents from me if you turned it over.
Liu Nan's brows jumped.
Then she raised her head and leaned on the back seat of the car to think for a moment, "How about I trade you some information for this roasted sweet potato?"
"What information?"
He Ao looked at her with interest.
Liu Nan blinked, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "About the institute!"
"Can."
He Ao nodded.
The essence of money is a general equivalent. The essence of how much money you obtain is your ability to exchange for goods worth these amounts of money.
If what the other party gives is good, He Ao doesn't mind skipping the step of equivalent items and bartering directly.
Xidu University is about 18 kilometers away from Liu Nan's chosen destination. There were very few vehicles at night, and it only took about half an hour for the two of them to reach their destination.
He Ao glanced at his phone. It was probably around nine-twenty now.
Liu Nan and He Ao got out of the car one after another.
Liu Nan walked in front of He Ao with her hands clasped behind her back. She had a little bounce in her steps. She didn't know why, but as long as she didn't give him any money, she felt like she was making money.
The two walked slowly to the edge of a small pier and looked up to see the sparkling water under the moonlight.
"We have to wait for the boat."
Liu Nan said softly, then she looked at He Ao with a smile, "Do you know about talent?"
"Know."
He Ao replied calmly.
"Eh?"
Liu Nan was stunned, "Then do you know about pollutants?"
"Know."
He Ao looked indifferent.
"Ah?" Liu Nan was a little discouraged. She drooped her head like a kitten that couldn't find food. "Then what don't you know? How about I transfer the six yuan to you."
"Is there a hierarchy between talents?"
He Ao asked softly.
"I know this," Liu Nan suddenly became energetic. She straightened up and smiled, "There was no such thing before, but in recent years the number of extraordinary people has increased suddenly, so the institute roughly divided the extraordinary people into six levels.
.”
"A,B,C,D,E,F?"
He Ao raised his head to look at her and asked slowly.
"Well, this is more or less the classification method," Liu Nan nodded, "It is said that there were some complicated proposals at that time, the kind where each level had a name with a few words. Later, the institute decided to simplify the names and levels.
After all, standards should be oriented to the most basic people, and the simpler and more popular they are, the easier they are to spread and understand."
"Um,"
He Ao nodded and looked at the lake. Liu Nan knew nothing about the supernatural world the night before yesterday. Today, she could share information with He Ao, which proved that she had her own source of information.
This can be explained as Liu Nan learned this extraordinary knowledge through family channels, but judging from the fact that she had no knowledge before, He Ao was more inclined to another possibility, so he asked softly, "What is your talent?"
What?"
"reader"
Liu Nan rubbed her cheek and walked to He Ao. She didn't expect He Ao to guess it so quickly, but she didn't want to hide it either.
"With F-level talent, the ability is easier to understand text and language, and the ability to think in fantasy has improved to a certain extent. My physical fitness also seems to have improved to a certain extent, but the improvement is not much. It is probably a little better than the average adult male.
"
The girl stood next to the young man, looking at the sparkling lake together. The bright moonlight was reflected in the silent water, and a white boat slowly came from the moonlight.
Liu Nan stood under the streetlight and waved to the old man sitting on the bow of the boat driving the boat, "Uncle Xiao, I'm here."
When the boat docked, Liu Nan jumped on the boat and waved to He Ao, "He Ao, get on the boat."
"You want to go home by boat?"
He Ao glanced at the boat in surprise.
Xidu is located in the west of the Republic, with rolling mountains to the west. It is a typical inland city. The surrounding terrain is mainly hilly, and the water resources are not very rich, and there are very few lakes.
He Ao thought for a moment and recalled where he was now.
This lake is called Bainiao Lake. It is the earliest large-scale artificial lake in the Western Capital. The Bainiao Group has enclosed 10,000 acres of land here and transformed the land hills into artificial lakes with crisscrossed waterways. Then, each one is exposed in the center of the lake.
Development of real estate and commercial facilities on 'islands' and on the edges of lakes.
In an inland city with few rivers, a commercial residence was built that can only be reached by boat.
Of course, the price is also very expensive.
"It's not my house, it's a house that my dad owns here. He likes to come here," Liu Nan shook her head and motioned for He Ao to get on the boat. "I usually live in a small house I bought near the school, so it's convenient for school."
"Um."
He Ao nodded and got on the boat.
The old man sitting on the bow started the boat and swayed along the blue waves.
He Ao looked through the hazy night at the luxurious villas under the street lights along the lake.
"What's the matter?"
Liu Nan came over and found that He Ao was in a daze.
"Reminding me of an old friend."
He Ao held his head and thought for a while.
"Do you have any friends living here?"
Liu Nan sat next to him in confusion, looking at the villas where most of the lights were dim, "It only looks good here, but the occupancy rate is still very low."
"Yes, yes," He Ao nodded, "I kept him for three months the year before last before sending him in, and I got a large bonus. He is very valuable."
Liu Nan:?
Why did this story develop so differently than she expected?
"Then..." Liu Nan tried to follow He Ao's thinking, "How many years was he sentenced to?"
"He died last year," He Ao nodded. "Before he died, his lover took his money and ran away with his younger brother. I was the only one who saw him off."
"Did you even see him off?"
Liu Nan was a little surprised. She felt like she was listening to a legendary story.
"As for big customers," He Ao said seriously, "after-sales service is still needed. My service is very good and has a good reputation. So far, no big customer has given me a bad review."
Then he glanced at Liu Nan and said, "It will be the same for you. If you are very valuable someday, I will go and see you off when you leave."
"don't want!"
Liu Nan crossed her hands on her chest.
She is still young and doesn't want to be valuable or be sent away.
At this moment, the boat slowly approached a private dock.
At the edge of the pier, a middle-aged man sitting under a streetlight reading a book slowly raised his head.
