Winter nights come unusually early.

At this time, it was already dark outside, the street lights were neon, and the car lights were like lines. The streets began to feel cold, and if you went out for a walk, the moisture could wet your hair.

The glass doors of the hotel are closed most of the time, the air conditioning is on, and the front desk is very warm.

Occasionally, guests come in and out, open and close the door, shuttling between the cold wind and the calm, the cold and the warm.

Now Yu Dian is on duty, she is driving her old laptop, but her eyes are not on her own computer, but on the screen of the computer next to her.

Cheng Yan was sitting on the chair next to her, Tang Qingying was also squeezed aside, and in addition to this, Xiao Lori was also squatting on the table.

"Cat and Mouse" was on the computer.

Little Lori and Little Miss Yu couldn't take their eyes off it, but Cheng Yan kept staring at the little Lori who was close at hand, and wanted to reach out and touch it, while trying her best to overcome her impulse - she really stretched out her guilty claws when Little Lori was watching cartoons seriously, but Little Lori seemed to have eyes behind her, and before she could reach over Little Lori turned around, her teeth and claws almost left a few blood marks on her hands.

After that, she no longer dared to be presumptuous.

Tang Qingying also occasionally glanced at Xiao Lori while playing with her mobile phone, but she had a kind of secretly observing gaze.

Cheng Yun was stunned when he went downstairs: "Is it so lively?"

Everyone looked up at him when they heard the sound.

Cheng Yun didn't need to ask, just by listening to the voice, he knew what they were watching, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth: "You guys are really naïve!"

Cheng Yan glanced at him disdainfully, and argued: "I just showed it to Little Lori, it likes to watch." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Lori also raised her head and glanced at Cheng Yun, but immediately lowered her head and continued to watch the cartoon.

This creature is stupid, and it's kind of funny!

Cheng Yun shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the sofa alone, thinking about the new visitor from the other world.

Cheng Yan suddenly looked at him and asked, "Hey, how did you make little Lori like you? Why can you hug it and touch it so that it follows you, and let it willingly catch prey and peel dried fruits for you, but I can't touch it?"

Hearing this, Little Lori immediately turned her head and looked at Cheng Yan arrogantly.

A mere mortal...... It's really whimsical!

Cheng Yun raised his eyebrows, raised his head and said, "Hey, can't you be polite when you have a request for someone?"

Cheng Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Can this be called a request for someone?"

"Uh-huh!"

"And what do you want?"

"At least you call it correctly, right?" Cheng Yun said, "I don't expect you to call it 'dear brother', 'the most handsome brother' or anything like that, at least you should call it, right?"

"Hiss!" Cheng Yan suddenly gasped, rubbed the goosebumps on his arms vigorously, and looked at Cheng Yun with disgust, "Can you stop being so disgusting......"

“…… Then you won't be able to touch little Lori for the rest of your life. ”

"Please tell me how to touch little Lori. Cheng Yan looked at him with a straight face, "Brother." ”

"Hahaha, I don't know!" Cheng Yun laughed out loud, "Maybe it's because I've been cooking for it from the very beginning!"

“…… Excessive!" Cheng Yan's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Maybe it's because this little thing is plotting against my brother-in-law!" Tang Qingying suddenly said next to her, and then she held Cheng Yan's hand, and said with her eyebrows fluttering, "Yanyan, I don't know if you've seen a movie, it's called Painted Skin, played by Zhou Xun!"

“…… Stay away from me, idiot!!"

"Woo woo......" Tang Qingying's face was suddenly full of grievances.

Cheng Yun couldn't help but smile and continued to lower his head and think.

He was thinking about the visitor from the other world, but somehow, the stick kept flashing through his mind.

The lines on that stick, to be exact.

He always had an inexplicable familiarity with it, a feeling that he couldn't grasp for a moment, but he was sure that he had never seen that kind of staff and those lines. It seemed that the lines belonged to a system he had seen, so its structure and composition seemed familiar to him. It's like a script that he has been exposed to a lot but doesn't have mastered, and maybe he can't understand what it means, but at a glance he can tell what it is, Japanese, Korean, or Russian......

It's like the magic system of the old man's world!

Cheng Yun frowned deeply.

Is it really such a coincidence?

The ...... Seems to be a little mage, too!

Cheng Yun thought of this and sighed again.

It seems that the little mage is still a student, and he himself does not know how he came to this world, and there is still a family in his house waiting for him to return...... He must be very nervous and frightened now, right? The node space was empty, there was nothing, it was a kind of frightening emptiness, and it was so quiet that there was almost no sound, and ordinary people who were alone in such a space would probably not last for half an hour before facing a mental breakdown.

It's a bit ...... though

But he's just a poor kid after all!

Cheng Yun thought so, waited for a while, and then got up and walked upstairs again.

Soon, he opened the door of the node space and stepped in, but he was stunned.

I saw a tall figure about 1.78 meters tall facing away from him, bending his knees in a posture ready to jump, while his right hand was raised high, holding a wooden stick in his hand.

Hastily!

He jumped up, quite high, his blue-white robe slightly raised, and what he didn't seem to be wearing underneath was trousers, revealing a snow-white round calf.

Cheng Yun hurriedly blinked his eyes and shook his head vigorously to dispel some bad consciousness.

At the same time, that staff was thrown out!

Cheng Yun followed the staff and saw it spinning in the air and making a beautiful mark, narrowly brushing past the diamond-shaped stone, and then falling.

"Alas!"

The little mage sighed.

Suddenly, he turned his head and found Cheng Yun, and he was a little at a loss, but then he was surprised: "You're finally here!"

Cheng Yun pursed his lips and asked, "Figured it out?"

"Figured it out. ”

"Stop making a fuss?"

"Don't make a fuss. The little mage was very honest, and trotted over to pick up his staff.

"That's good. Cheng Yun nodded with satisfaction, "Then now I'll ask you ......?"

"I can give you this meteorite, and we can sign an agreement. But I want five million, after taxes. If you think the tax is heavy, I can help you avoid taxes reasonably, but no matter how much tax you have, you have to pay it. The little mage said, staring at Cheng Yun without blinking, "We all know the value of this meteorite, whether it is used to use server cores or ...... Well...... Or it is very valuable for research and development, five million, you don't suffer!"

"......" Cheng Yun was silent and said coldly, "I'll give you 10 million!"

"This ......," the little mage paused for a moment and smiled shyly, "How embarrassing is this!

"......" Cheng Yun was silent for a long time, then looked up at the diamond-shaped stone, lowered his head and said, "Then please show it to me first." ”

"Well, there it is, you can see it when you look up. I've put it in a position close to you. ”

"Please take it down. ”

"......" The little mage stared at him with some weakness.

Cheng Yun also looked at him with black lines, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this thing was a woman, and it was also very good-looking, and she was very tall and had long legs. Although the upper body is flat, it still belongs to the type that can bend a straight man of steel and a living Buddha without makeup!

"That ......," the little mage hesitated, and said weakly, "I know how to take it down, and I'll tell you when you've paid for it." ”

"Do you throw chopsticks down?" Cheng Yun asked rhetorically.

"Forehead ......"

"Alas. Cheng Yun sighed, stretched out his hand, and the stone reached in his hand, "I was wrong, I shouldn't sympathize with you, you should calm down for a while." ”

"Huh?" The little mage was stunned for a moment, his face, which was more beautiful than a woman, was full of sluggishness, but after a while, his face sank again, and said, "Since you have already obtained the meteorite, why do you still keep me here? Is it so cautious? This meteorite was picked up by me, not bought, I have no invoice and no purchase record, even if you take it away, I will not be able to defend my rights!"

"......" Cheng Yun sighed and turned around.

"Hey, don't go, you person, can't I give it to you!" The little mage immediately rushed towards him, but he stopped after a few steps, stretched out his hand and groped forward cautiously, and soon touched the completely transparent wall, looking at his cautious and fearful appearance, it seemed that he had suffered a lot of losses on it before, "I don't want a penny, right? What do you want?"

"Think about what I said before, calm down, reflect on it, think about it. Cheng Yun said lightly and opened the door directly.

"It's this routine again, what do you want? Anyway, you have to at least take care of a meal, how can there be kidnappers who are hungry for hostages......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Yuntou walking out without looking back, and the door was also closed.

"Damn!" he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth!

But when he recalled that when Cheng Yun opened the door just now, the light that came through the door seemed to ...... It's a very strange and different scene!

He was dumbfounded, blinking.

What followed was an extraordinarily long period of time.

He could see the meteorite overhead, but he couldn't reach it.

The only source of light in his sight was the oval ball of blue light, and there was nothing else, but he didn't dare touch it.

He couldn't hear a single sound from the outside world, and for the first time in the quiet environment, he could hear his own heartbeat, breathing, the clicking of bones during exercise, the grinding of clothes, the tense muscles, and even the sound of blood flowing through his sensitive ears...... These sounds are almost unnoticeable to a person, but at this time it is extremely unbearable.

"No! I need to divert my attention!"

"By the way, sleep, I'll sleep!"

“……”

"It's so noisy!

"Ahhh......h

"Come back, come back, come back, come back......"
