Chapter 47: Inquiry (Thanks to Tashi Chawanmushi for rewarding the Silver Alliance again)
Chapter 934 Inquiry (Thank you for the tea bowl steamer for rewarding the Silver Alliance again)
Lumian took two steps back and sat on the waiting bench outside the classroom opposite.
With a flick of his finger, he skillfully entered Anderson Hood's circle of friends:
"Yesterday: Others' failure is my success.
"August 14: Everyone has different talents, some are language, some are art, and some are ordinary.
"August 13th: My roommate is really dead, he was Game Over in the game of life.
“August 12: Love is also a kind of war, and hunters can also harvest, to Daniz.
"August 11: As long as you are not angry, others will be angry.
"...
"August 2: Friend, have you really reached this point? Respect your privacy!"
Lumian continued to scroll down with no expression on his face. There was nothing in the follow-up content. Then, he saw a familiar but slightly different prompt:
"——Friends only show the circle of friends in the last month——"
Lumian laughed, put the phone to his mouth, and sent a voice message to Anderson. He briefly introduced himself to see if the other party would respond later and if there was anything to say in the conversation.
After sitting for another two minutes, he saw someone coming towards the front desk.
The man was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and light-colored sneakers. His short black hair had traces of simple combing, his eyes were dark brown, and he wore a pair of half-frame light gold flat glasses. His face had soft contours and facial features.
Hidden in a bit of handsomeness, with a black satchel slung across his back, he is the main target of Lumian and others' dream trip, Zhou Mingrui, the dream incarnation of Mr. "Fool".
Lumian seemed to hear the footsteps before he raised his head and cast his gaze over.
He found that there were more differences between the current Zhou Mingrui and Gehrman Sparrow:
Both of them come from the original Zhou Mingrui, but their development directions are completely different. One leans towards a soft and handsome style, while the other emphasizes sharpness and coldness.
Zhou Mingrui noticed Lumian's gaze and followed his gaze.
Lumian smiled and nodded.
Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment, not understanding why this stranger greeted him, but he still nodded politely.
Lumian withdrew his gaze and focused on the screen of his mobile phone that was not yet lit.
He saw himself reflected on the black screen. Although he was handsome, he was not handsome enough to be approached by a talent scout.
He used "lies" to lower his appearance in order to be as "social" as possible.
Zhou Mingrui glanced at him doubtfully and turned into the business English class from his side.
A few minutes later, Ainana, the principal of the Dream Tutorial School, walked into the Business English class with a lesson plan. A man wearing a floral bow tie went to the Enlightenment English class opposite to act as Anderson Hood's teaching assistant.
Lumian looked up at the camera on the ceiling, and like most parents who were waiting in different areas of the corridor and occasionally looking through the classroom windows, they were playing with their mobile phones.
A small number of parents who knew each other started chatting:
"Our family, Zihan, can speak English recently."
"Really? Our family started the enlightenment class too late and is still studying hard."
"Look at that kid, he never stops talking."
"Maybe on the first day of class, it's like this. Our family Zihan was a little uncomfortable at first. At this time, parents need more discipline."
"..."
Lumian turned a deaf ear to these words, looking intently at the frosty blackboard photo he had taken before, once again immersed in the world of conspirators who analyzed details.
From time to time, he would also read local news and hot videos to keep abreast of the bigger changes in Dream City.
The enlightenment English class took two breaks, and Ludwig took this opportunity to come to Lumian to replenish food to heal the trauma in his heart.
The business English class only had one break, but Lumian did not go to chat with Zhou Mingrui. He just watched him go to the bathroom and come out quickly from the corner of his eye.
The Business English class ended ten minutes earlier than the Enlightenment English class. Lumian suddenly stood up and stood in front of Zhou Mingrui.
He put on a smile and said:
"Hello, what do you think of this business English class? I'd like to know more about it."
Seeing Zhou Mingrui's puzzled face, he further explained:
"I originally took my children to an elementary English class, but after listening to your business English class outside, I thought it was pretty good. I was wondering if I should also sign up for a class so as not to waste time waiting."
"Take care of the children?" Zhou Mingrui asked subconsciously.
He looked up and down, left and right, and felt that the man opposite him was much younger than him, and looked like a college student.
Is there a child here?
"Yes, my son." Lumian replied with a smile.
The son...the son who can attend the enlightenment English class...Zhou Mingrui suppressed the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth.
It had been two or three years since he graduated from college and entered society, and he didn't even have a girlfriend yet. The man in front of him, who looked like a college student, actually had a four- or five-year-old son!
Did you fall in love and have children early in high school?
Sure enough, good-looking people have youth...
Zhou Mingrui said sincerely:
“Principal Ai’s teaching level is very high, but the business English class itself requires a certain foundation.”
He suspected that the young man opposite him had dropped out of high school to get married and had never gone to college, so he kindly reminded him that business English classes required basic knowledge.
"That's it..." Lumian nodded thoughtfully and said sincerely, "Thank you."
He took the initiative to take a step back and did not ask Zhou Mingrui any more questions.
First contact, enough is enough!
Then you have to observe subsequent changes.
Zhou Mingrui was curious, but he would not go out of his way to inquire about other people's family privacy. He stopped at the door of different classes and watched.
After a while, the enlightenment English class ended. Before Zhou Mingrui could look this way, Lumian gave Ludwig a lollipop and led him out of the dream cram school.
Ludwig looks seven or eight years old at first glance. If Zhou Mingrui sees it, he will definitely be deeply impressed - his son is seven or eight years old, and his father seems to be in his early twenties. There is always someone in this family who has broken the law.
!
Impressing Mr. Fool's dream image is not part of Lumian's plans today, which is not conducive to him eliminating options.
After buying a bunch of steamed buns and pickled mustards to fill Ludwig's stomach, Lumian took the children to have dinner as usual and chose a cheap hotel to stay.
He turned on the TV for Ludwig, blindly selected a cartoon, held his cell phone, and slid his thumb to Anderson Hood's WeChat profile picture.
In the end, he didn't send another message to this "foreign teacher" who seemed to be able to detect the nature of dreams, hoping to see if the other party would take the initiative to contact him and give him a reminder.
…………
In a rental house.
Franca, who was sitting on the bed, was scrolling through her cell phone, but her mind was not entirely on it. She was worried about the situation on Lumian's side.
Formal contact with Zhou Mingrui is likely to bring about bad changes!
Jenna did the same, pacing back and forth in the room from time to time.
Suddenly, Franka sat up straight, frowned and said:
"I always feel like I've forgotten something...
"Is this a reminder from my spiritual intuition?"
The next second, she quickly recalled what she had forgotten without using divination:
"Yes! Today is the day of Shuangseqiu lottery draw!
"I forgot about it!"
She quickly checked the results and opened her mouth little by little.
"You hit?" Jian Na asked curiously and expectantly.
"I won... I won!" Franka was confused at first, and then surprised, "I won the second prize of more than 20 bets, and the total bonus is more than 150,000."
She then rubbed her face:
"Do I still have this luck?
"No, Lumian's ability to influence destiny can still have such an effect?"
"More than 150,000?" Jenna was shocked.
The tight life these days has made her very satisfied with a few thousand dollars, but this time it has reached tens of thousands, which is still double digits!
Franka left the bed and paced back and forth:
"If I save more, I can go to Xingmeng Grocery Store to rent those items that are not simple at first sight."
"Shouldn't we consider repaying the small loan first?" Jenna reminded Franka.
"It's not the repayment day yet." Franka was pleasantly surprised, but she felt worried in her heart. "Winning such a large amount of money at once will be noticed by the lottery sales department, and will it attract the attention of the gods?"
eyes..."
Without waiting for Jian Na to respond, she said to herself:
"It's only a few hundred thousand, what's that? The guy who won the first prize made more than 30 bets, and each bet cost 5 million! We just ate some of the residue that flowed out from other people's fingers..."
…………
Inside the hotel.
Ludwig, who had eaten supper, was already asleep in another bed. Lumian opened his eyes and leaned against the pillow, silently staring at the dark screen and the room with a little moonlight.
So far, Anderson has not sent him a message, and the direct contact with Zhou Mingrui has not brought any obvious abnormality - his every move has not been restricted, and he himself has not been kicked out of the dream.
As time passed by, Lumian suddenly heard a "boom" of thunder and saw that the night sky outside the curtains seemed to be illuminated by silvery lightning.
The thunder rolled in and the heavy rain fell. It didn't stop all night and didn't let up until daybreak.
Lumian didn't sleep all night and was awake to welcome the day.
He turned on his mobile phone and saw a lot of news about which places were flooded due to rising water. Some subway lines were also suspended today.
Is this a symbol? If so, what does it symbolize? After Lumian stuffed Ludwig with a bunch of steamed buns, he took him to eat noodles nearby.
He ordered noodles with peas and sauce for himself, and tomato omelette noodles for Ludwig.
The peas were stewed until soft and glutinous, absorbing the sauce, and mixed with the noodles, which were fragrant and delicious. Lumian ordered two taels, ate a bowl and a half for himself, and left half a bowl for Ludwig.
After breakfast, he slowly took Ludwig back to the rental house by public transportation.
Seeing that Lumian and Ludwig were fine, Franka, Jenna and Anthony breathed a sigh of relief.
Lumian smiled and said:
"The result of the preliminary experiment is that if you simply come into contact with Zhou Mingrui, the dream image of Mr. Fool, during the day, if you do not leave a deep impression on him, he will not attract the attention of the Heavenly Lord, be kicked out of the dream, or be restricted.
"Of course, maybe I was deceived. Tianzun deliberately didn't deal with me. He was waiting for me to join you and then kicked us out of the dream together."
