Dee-dee-dee-dee! Dee-dee-dee-dee! The rapid and familiar ringtone woke Tom Mu up from the bed.
"Hmm...huh?!" Tom Mu, with messy hair like a chicken coop on his head, turned over and sat up on the bed, crawled to the end of the bed, and set the alarm clock on the phone charging on the chair to "remind later". This series of actions
There is no thought at all, it is all muscle memory. The ringtone of the mobile phone only wakes up the owner's body, while the owner's soul is still wandering in the world.
"I seemed to have had a very long dream last night..." Tom Mu smashed his mouth, trying to recall the bizarre dream last night, but found that the dream was like liquid nitrogen poured out of a sealed tank, and was flowing rapidly.
to evaporate and eliminate.
By the time he paused the alarm clock and found his slippers, he had no memory of last night's dream at all. He only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have gone to study in Scotland and had found a local girlfriend.
Tang Mu laughed at himself: It’s just like dreaming about everything!
However, after getting off the electric blanket, he couldn't help but shuddered. A cold wave hit the Magic City, and the weather was extremely cold. A week ago, he had to turn on the air conditioner for cooling, but now he had to turn on the air conditioner for heating. It was painful to go back and forth.
It's always the air conditioner and your own electric meter. One keeps running, and the other keeps turning, but it consumes the energy of your own wallet - don't you see that your wallet is getting tired and thin?
Of course, Tang Mu has experienced hundreds of battles and has seen a lot. He has been to the Magic City before, stayed here for a few months, and is familiar with the weather here, so this time he placed an order for three items as soon as he arrived here.
Things: electric blanket, electric heater and dehumidifier.
To be honest, as a "Northerner", he is not very adaptable to the weather in the Magic City - it is too humid. When he goes home in the summer, he always feels like there is a layer of water on the bedding, which makes him want to travel to the desert - preferably to Egypt.
While walking around, I heard that it was drier there. In the humid environment, Tom really wanted to let himself be sucked into a mummy by the sand.
Thinking of Egypt and the desert, Tom's heart moved slightly. Something seemed to flash through his mind, but he couldn't remember it clearly. The dream he had last night was so confusing.
What's worse than the humidity is that there is no heating here in winter, and the winter experience is extremely poor. Many people actually rely on air conditioners for heating. It was only after he arrived in Shanghai that he learned that air conditioners can actually heat?!
He shivered and quickly put his legs in front of the electric heater before he felt a little warmth. In this case, he was not in a hurry to get out of bed. He put his long johns, socks and a T-shirt on the electric heater.
Before, I planned to wait until they were warmed up before putting them on.
Putting warm clothes on your body gives you a very refreshing feeling, and a beautiful day has officially begun.
Tom Mu glanced at his phone. It was 7:20, plenty of time. He immediately sat down at the desk, first pressed the switch of the hot water kettle to let the water in the kettle boil, and then put himself in [Xunxunshouyue·Ganyu]
The theme's mechanical keyboard is connected to the computer. This keyboard is good everywhere, but it is a bit too bright at night because of its built-in light-emitting function, so he will unplug it from the computer before going to bed.
After turning on the computer, he first closed the code interface that he forgot to close last night, and then opened the Genshin Impact icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
Genshin Impact starts: monthly card collection, resin synthesis, dispatch settlement, and Miyou Club sign-in.
Liben! My good brother, you are here to deliver rough stones again today!
Impregnable(√)
A gentleman rushes in the daytime (√)
Voltage Charge(√)
Thunder field exploration(√)
Daily tasks completed.
Tom Mu switched the controlled characters to four characters whose favorability levels were not yet full. After receiving the daily task rewards, the water in his kettle also boiled. Tom ground some coffee beans and made himself a cup of black coffee.
Refreshing.
While waiting for the coffee to cool down, he cleared several copies of the holy relics and got a few top-quality "leftover" relics. After completely draining his energy, he went offline - today's Genshin Impact time is over. Remember this tonight
Just clean up your stamina once.
Tom Mu picked up his coffee cup and took a sip of the coffee that was no longer so hot. At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a very strange bracelet on his table: black and brown, it looked a bit like
It's hemp rope.
"Have I ever bought this thing?" He stretched out his hand towards the bracelet, but before he could touch the bracelet, the electric kettle at his feet exploded. The insulation sheet and hot water spilled all over the floor.
, but luckily, because Tom Mu was wearing thick long trousers, the hot water and fragments did not hurt him, so it can be said that he had a near miss.
"What the hell?" He was startled, but he was not surprised at all: the electric kettle was bought by his father from Bing Xixi, and it was 19 yuan and 9 with free shipping. He had been using it with fear. Now only
It can be said that the second shoe has dropped.
He sighed, stood up and cleaned up the messy ground. With this interruption, he forgot about the bracelet. However, the bracelet was also swept in by him in the rush.
In his backpack.
After cleaning up the floor, Tang Mu hurriedly stuffed his computer and mouse into his schoolbag, hurriedly went to the toilet, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then set off for work.
He pedaled his little bicycle all the way to the door of the subway station. At this time, he was sweating profusely - this old bicycle was too strenuous to ride! When buying bicycles online, never buy one with a transmission.
, the riding experience is not even as good as shared bicycles.
Tom locked the car and trotted into the subway station, catching up with the subway to the company. Sitting on the subway seat, he straightened his clothes a little, opened the zipper a little, and let the clothes inside
The heat escapes, and the down jacket that sticks to your neck after sweating keeps a distance from you.
At this time, he saw an advertisement on the subway.
"If you listen carefully, you can hear the whispers of the past..."
"We come to see Albus Dumbledore."
"That's my brother."
"Our world is falling apart, torn apart by Grindelwald's hatred."
It's the trailer for "Fantastic Beasts 3"! Tom raised his head, he didn't expect that Warner would put the advertisement here.
"The Grindelwald in this movie has been replaced," Tom Mu sighed as he looked at Uncle Ba's face on the screen. Although his style is not the same as Depp's, it fits the image of Grindelwald very well.
Huh? Tom Mu was attracted by a camera.
"Dumbledore wants me to give you something," Newt took out a wand from his coat pocket and handed it to the Muggle Jacob.
"Is this a joke? How can a Muggle hold a wand...wait...Muggle, a wand?" Tom fell into deep thought, and he seemed to have forgotten something important.
At this time, the trailer on the screen was coming to an end. The camera turned and Jacob appeared in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, having lunch with the little wizards.
"Where did you get it?"
"This is my Christmas gift."
The trailer is over.
Sitting next to Tom, the boy who was also attracted by the trailer complained to his friend: "What is Warner doing? How can Muggles hold wands? And Muggles entering Hogwarts is not nonsense.
Well, this is treating the "Secretary Law" as nothing -"
Tom Mu felt that the corners of his eyes were suddenly wet, and a string of tears flowed down uncontrollably. The guy next to him who was complaining was startled: What's wrong with this guy? Why did he make himself cry after watching a trailer?
Tom Mu also noticed his gaffe, and quickly opened his backpack, trying to take out a tissue to wipe his tears. Unexpectedly, when he opened the backpack, the bracelet appeared in front of him again.
Tom Mu was stunned and even stopped crying.
"Are you okay?" The complaining guy next to him took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and gave it to Tom Mu.
"Thank you," Tom wanted to say something more, but the subway had already arrived. He quickly took out a tissue, returned the remaining tissue to his brother, and rushed out of the subway.
Then comes the daily life of a social animal.
Receive a task, complete the task, and then do the next task... the cycle goes on and on. This kind of life is like an online game, or the kind of web game where players who don't top up money will have the gaming experience of a kryptonite.
"Xiaotang, are you free at noon?" Just as Tang Mu was calibrating the PH machine, the director of the laboratory came in and called him out.
"Let's have lunch together?" This was not a question. Tom Mu had no other choice.
In the company cafeteria, he and BOSS ordered a Chongqing noodles together, and then found two empty seats in the corner of the cafeteria and sat down.
"Xiaotang, I have thought about the matter of becoming a regular employee that I talked about before. I think the probability of getting a permanent employee is not high, but if you are willing to sign a third-party dispatch, the chance of passing is still very high...
…”
"Do you have thirty galleons as a monthly salary?"
"Gallon?"
"Ah no -" Tom Mu didn't expect that he suddenly said a strange currency unit, so he quickly changed his words and corrected himself.
Apart from this small incident, overall the conversation was very pleasant. Although he did not have the status of a formal employee, Tom Mu did not ask for this. He just liked the working atmosphere of this company that did not work overtime or take time off.
There is not much to say next. It is just waiting for HR to come over to discuss the details and trying to find ways to fish in the afternoon work. Tom Mu, who finally got to get off work, could not go home immediately. He had to attend to family arrangements.
of blind date.
This girl had chatted with him on WeChat a few times before, but there was no problem, so they made an appointment to meet in the city center for a meal at six o'clock tonight, but they didn't expect it. Tom Mu waited at the door of the subway station for a long time.
After many hours, this person still hasn’t arrived!
Standing at the subway entrance, Tom Mu looked like a fool. He couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and send a message to ask.
【Where have you been?】
【Just got home, will go right away】
[Okay, please be safe on the road, I will wait for you at the door of the subway station]
[There are still a few stops on the subway, we’ll be there in half an hour]
Tom Mu:?
Are you planning to take the subway from the starting station to the last station?
But now that it’s here, Tang Mu has nothing to say, so he just needs to wait patiently. Looking at the time on his phone that says it’s almost eight o’clock, Tang Mu is anxious—he hasn’t written the 8,000 words of today’s novel yet! Is he going to stop writing?
Have you asked for leave? Readers turned on their mobile phones and took a look: Hey, the novel I was following has been updated, and I looked again, yeah? A request for leave?! This is not a mouthful? So, it is better for the author not to send a request for leave.
That's right, Tom Mu is also a part-time online writer who writes dragon fan fiction. He wrote a fan novel called "I Restart My Life Directly: The Beginning of the Dragon Tribe and Got on That Maybach", which was well received. I don't want to think about it.
After being sent a razor blade, he took out his mobile phone and poked at the small screen, trying to code words on the mobile phone.
At eight o'clock, the girl finally appeared.
Tom Mu looked up and saw a girl who was quite fashionably dressed and had a six-point figure after makeup, walking towards him in a leisurely manner.
"Let's go and eat first." Before she could say anything, Tang Mu spoke first - he just wanted to finish the blind date quickly and then go home to code.
The girl was stunned for a moment, frowned, and expressed her agreement coldly.
After arriving at the restaurant that Tang Mu had booked, out of courtesy, he handed over the menu and asked the girl to order first.
"I won't order any more. I'm going to lose weight today." The girl rolled her eyes and handed back the menu.
Tom Mu:???
If you lose weight, why do you want to have a blind date in a restaurant?
But Tom Mu was very hungry after standing in the cold wind for two hours, so he ordered a set meal for himself.
Before the food was served, the girl got to the point, "How much is your annual salary now? Can you cook? Can you do housework?"
Tang Mu frowned and felt that the matter was not simple. Although it was not a big deal to ask these questions during a blind date, he always felt that something was strange. It took him two seconds to figure it out: Could it be that I earn the money and the food?
I'll do the housework, and I'll take care of the housework? Then what do you want to do? Just lie down and open your mouth, and it will be smashed?
"The monthly salary is not high, but I can do some cooking and housework." He replied calmly - indeed, the monthly salary is not high, but the income from writing novels is not counted as monthly salary.
When she heard that the monthly salary was not high, the girl immediately lost interest. She leaned back in her chair and picked up the tea sent by the hotel, "My ex-boyfriend is about the same age as you and has an annual salary of one million. You have to work harder."
.”
Tom Mu:?
Being played by a rich second generation and then dumped, and finally looking for a successor, is this kind of thing worth bragging about?
"It's incomparable. I'm very curious as to why you broke up with your ex-boyfriend. He was so outstanding." Tang Mu said angrily, emphasizing the word "excellent".
The girl rolled her eyes and said, "I don't feel anything anymore - let's not talk about him for now. I think there is something that needs to be made clear in advance. I think we need a betrothal gift when we get married. According to the rules here, we need 188,000 in cash.
, Of course, this is just to see your sincerity. In the end, this money will be brought back to me as my dowry, so I am not greedy for you..."
Tom just felt a headache.
But the girl was still chattering, "Also, if you get married, you will also need a house and a car..."
"Let's eat first." Tom Mu tried his best to force out a smile. He just felt that it was outrageous. What could he do wrong with this little time, but to waste it on talking in sleep with others!
Tom opened his backpack and was about to take out the wallet inside to pay the bill and leave, when the familiar bracelet appeared in his eyes again.
