Section 4 Shopping malls

The downtown area of W City is huge. The city is administratively divided into four districts, and the citizens are usually divided into "southeast, northwest, and northwest". Of course, in fact, as a prefecture-level city administrative unit, W City also includes more than a dozen counties, but although in the general concept of people everywhere are considered to be residents of W City, the so-called "city people" usually refer to the residents in the four districts of the southeast, northwest and north.

The "illegal building" where Lu Wu now lives with a monthly rent of 500 yuan is located on the edge of the West District. According to locals, 20 years ago it was an ordinary small village in the south of the Yangtze River, but now it has been unwittingly swallowed up by the rapidly expanding city.

Starting from the West District, walk a little east and you will enter the business circle of urban planning. It is a fairly well-constructed circle consisting of numerous shopping malls and pedestrian streets. The pedestrian mall is aimed at high-end customers - and you will understand this by walking around the pedestrian mall. The streets are filled with luxury items such as watches, jewelry, antiques, and so on. Even if there are a few clothing stores, the prices of clothes in them start at four figures, and five-figure prices are not uncommon.

Relatively speaking, the positioning of major shopping malls is much more detailed. The westernmost "White Horse Mall" is a typical low-end customer, which can be regarded as a good price for money. Many college students and migrant workers choose to shop here. Perhaps it is precisely because of the concept of "good quality and low price, small profits but quick turnover" that the business of the mall is quite good and the flow of people is huge.

On an early autumn afternoon, everything is as usual. The White Horse Mall is bustling with people, and countless people are here to pick out the right clothes. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the flow of people. The commotion seemed to come alive, spreading along the aisles of the mall. A pair of customers, a man and a woman, are moving through the flow of people.

The man was a very ordinary man - not that he was ugly, but if he was thrown into the crowd, he would not even stir up a wave. But the woman's ...... It was a beautiful girl, with long hair and a shawl, wearing a plain long-sleeved shirt and knee-length denim shorts. However, this simple dress could not hide her glamorous appearance, and it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Wow......", "Oh......", "Ah......" and other exclamations kept ringing. These voices are usually made by single male customers, but there are also one or two older women.

And all the young women, especially those who still have a little confidence in their appearance, almost all stare at the girl and pass them by. Walking on the street, I am afraid of such a person who is extremely beautiful and has a strong aura. The appearance of such an extremely eye-catching girl, they are simply ignored.

Not only the customers, but even some shopkeepers couldn't help but be attracted by this passing girl.

The girl looked like an obvious East-West hybrid - today's humans (at least Chinese) have long recognized that mixed-race people are indeed more beautiful than pure-bloods - with the gentle elegance of an Eastern beauty and the hot body of a Western beauty. On the one hand, the skin is fair (fair skin is normal, but this kind of whiteness has exceeded the racial limit of the Chinese), on the other hand, it is delicate and smooth, which fully explains what is called skin like coagulation. The face is bright, but the eyes are very big. Of course, the most important thing is the figure, and the degree of this girl's bumpy body is simply a breathing fire. And those legs are so slender that other women wish they could cut their bones and increase their height. Do you know what is called angel face and devil body? Do you know what is natural and unretouched? What is it called to meet beautiful women who have been photoshopped with computer technology in mobile phone photos in real life?

After looking at the beauties, and then looking at the men around the beauties, it makes people even more indignant. What do you mean by flowers on cow dung? That's a prime example. Fortunately, this is not the Middle Ages, and there is no tradition in China of throwing gloves and asking for a duel, otherwise the burden around this beautiful woman - yes, a burden, a simple obstacle- would have been set up on the side of the road.

This pair is naturally Lu Wu and Amber. It must be said that being the center of the eyes of such countless people (and the eyes full of hatred) is really the first time for Lu Wu. But speaking of which, the feeling ...... It's unsettling, but it's pretty good. Lu Wu found that he actually had a little pride.

"That...... How can the people of the earth seem to be hostile to us?" Amber's voice sounded in Lu Wu's mind - as I said earlier, the sound was like thunder, which made people's brains foggy. "Although not very hostile...... But there's something strange about the words. ”

"No, no, no, it's just hostile to me. Lu Wu said in a voice that he could only hear. "They...... What did they say?"

Although he couldn't understand why Amber, as a spirit body, still had senses such as sight, hearing, and smell, at least Lu Wu understood that all of Amber's senses were far stronger than ordinary humans. It's not the kind of "hearing is sharp" and "eyesight is better", but it's overwhelmingly powerful. For example, Amber's vision is almost the same as Lu Wu's eyes and a toy telescope. Although it is a toy, the telescope is not comparable to the naked eye - Amber can clearly see the residents of distant houses washing clothes on the balcony from a distance of hundreds of meters, and can clearly see whether the person washing clothes is male or female, old or young.

"Want to hear it?" said Amber's voice in her head.

"Yes. Before Lu Wu's words fell, Amber leaned over. The current posture of the two parties is no longer the posture of ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend holding hands before, but Amber leaned on Lu Wu's shoulder in the posture of a bird. On the spot, the hatred of the eyes around him increased by more than 50%. If gaze can kill, then Lu Wu can be ready to reincarnate now.

"This ...... This is...... What for?"

"Regulate your nerve cells...... Don't move......" Amber said.

It's also strange to say, just for a few seconds, Lu Wu clearly felt the sounds around him.

It used to be the kind of whispered speech that I couldn't understand, but now I feel like the other party has raised his voice, and I can hear it clearly.

"Hey, how could that kid have such a beautiful girlfriend......"

"It doesn't have to be a girlfriend, right?"

"How can it not be a girlfriend......? A flower is stuck in cow dung. ”

"Sure enough, it's a big beauty, take a photo and upload it to Weibo......"

Lu Wu realized that it was not that the volume of others had increased, but that his own hearing had changed.

"Amber, what did you do?"

"Sensory enhancement, it's a very ordinary thing. In fact, it is to increase the number of nerve cells...... Hey, it's not even about increasing nerve cells, it's about repairing nerve cells. ”

"What?"

"There are some hidden diseases in human beings...... Some injuries are caused by inexplicable reasons, and the injuries do not heal naturally. It's just that these injuries are not serious, so ordinary people don't feel anything special. For example, the auditory nerve, no one's auditory nerve is perfect, and basically they have been injured many times and have lost part of their hearing. It's just that each time the damage is only a little, so people can't feel it, and it doesn't have any special impact on daily life. Amber said in her head. "What I did was repair the damage, and then the sense of hearing naturally intensified. It's a spell that sits somewhere between the third and fourth laws, but it's just a minor spell. However, it's really useless, it's just a temporary link, and it will return to normal after a while. ”

A few seconds later, almost before the gaze of the men around her escalated from the level of "hatred" to the level of "hatred", Amber left Lu Wu.

"That, Amber," Lu Wu finally felt the gaze around him weigh him down. And it sounds like more than one person is taking a photo and trying to upload it. "The problem is more serious......

"Do you mean they'll take pictures?" Amber asked in her mind. "What's wrong with that?"

Lu Wu nodded and replied with a "hmm". Although it is said that it is very rewarding to be surrounded by such a beautiful woman who can't compare to even bone shaving rhinoplasty hyaluronic acid and cheek fat pads, but ...... It can only be said that out of a certain shyness, he does not want to be the center of the public in this way.

After coming to Earth for such a long time, Amber not only learned Chinese plus Hanyu Pinyin, but also learned a lot of common knowledge on Earth. She now knows everything about taking pictures and going on Weibo.

A photo taken by the side of "Encountering a Big Beauty ......" is already being uploaded to his Weibo. It should be noted that, like many places, there is also public Wi-Fi in the Hakuba mall for everyone to use. He captured a profile of Amber's face - in fact, from an objective point of view, it really didn't matter.

Now that PS technology is so developed, as long as the appearance is not low to a certain lower limit, almost all women can photoshop their photos into beauties. Not to mention the face, even the body can be PS - it is common sense to make the waist thinner and the legs longer. Even the photos of those authentic celebrities and models are processed by PS.

On the other side, Lu Wu finally stopped.

"Well, Amber, we're all there. Don't you even look down on a single piece of clothing?" he couldn't figure out the aesthetics of the people in the magical world, but this time he did walk around the White Horse Mall for half a circle. So far, Amber has even walked into a shop. And time was running out, and Amber had only been able to remain this entity for about two hours.

"What? I don't like it?" Amber was surprised this time. "I thought you didn't think it was appropriate. ”

"How could I ......" To be honest, shopping with a girl is really the first time for Lu Wu. Many men have talked about girlfriends in college, but unfortunately Lu Wu, a science and engineering man who reads automation theory, basically does not have this opportunity. The reason is very simple: the quantity is not much, not to mention the quality is not good. Like Li Pingfu, who has money in his family and can go to a wider range to fish for horses, it can only be said that he is the exception of the exceptions.

"Well, that's the rules of shopping, you can choose for yourself. Lu Wu said. "If you look at any store where the clothes are beautiful, you can go in and try them on, and if you want to buy them, you can buy them. ”

Amber glanced at each side and walked into a nearby women's clothing store.

Among the clerks was an older salesman, and she smiled at Amber - the salesman would come up with some patterns after a long time. For example, the more beautiful the girl who comes, the lower her boyfriend's desire to bargain. And Amber's appearance basically means that even if the price of the clothes is doubled, the man who pays will not frown more.

Amber quickly chooses an outfit - a very ordinary women's summer and autumn dress, a white long-sleeved dress. Then go inside the locker room and change your clothes.

This is the first time in Lu Wu's life that he enjoys the feeling of waiting for a woman to change clothes. Most people actually just admired Amber's appearance and left, but there were some people, both men and women, who didn't know whether to see the excitement or the beautiful women, in short, they refused to leave on the edge of the store, and seemed to want to see what Amber would look like if she changed her clothes.

Amber soon came out of it.

It's not necessarily right to say that people want clothes, and sometimes, whether the clothes look good or not depends on what the person looks like when they wear them. Even Lu Wu was surprised - the dress didn't look special on the shelf. But now it's ...... How to put it, it's like the whole dress has been given a new lease of life.

The dress was draped over Amber's body, and there was nothing out of place. Even the color of the clothes—the otherwise ordinary, ubiquitous white—seemed to be particularly in harmony with Amber's natural silver hair.

A group of people watching the excitement outside were almost blinded. How can such ordinary clothes be so outstanding when worn on beautiful women? Or is it the beauty that stands out rather than the clothes?

Lu Wu noticed a young woman, about twenty years old. Although the envy, jealousy, hatred in her eyes was about to materialize, and it spewed out of her eyes. The one next to her was probably her boyfriend, because she was pulling her boyfriend at the moment, muttering softly to buy the same dress.

The man was either too honest, or he didn't speak through his mind, and he actually replied. "Her legs are so long and her breasts are so big, she looks good when she wears them, you can't do it. For this sentence, his arm was pinched to death by his sister, and he let out a cry of pain, which was really miserable.

"Lu Wu, am I good-looking?" Amber actually threw a wink at Lu Wu.

"Ah...... Good...... Good looking, good looking. ”

"That's it, the little girl didn't say anything when she put it on...... By the way, where are you from, little girl?"

"Ah, that, I'm a ......"

"It's Chinese!" Lu Wu immediately interjected, interrupting Amber's words. "It's just a foreign-related marriage and family. How much do the clothes cost?"

There is no need to waste a little tongue, a business is going to be done, and the salesman's aunt is quite happy. Although the price she opened was not cheap, it was not black-hearted.

"I'd like to try this outfit as well. Amber gestured to another set hanging next to her.

When he left the mall, Lu Wu, like all men who accompany his girlfriend shopping, carried three or four bags in one hand, and held a girl in the other.

It's almost enviable to look at, but ...... Lu Wu really couldn't tell what the hell was next to him. Are they really human? Also, they're not the kind of relationship that others think.

Then his phone vibrated - not the ringing of the call, but the vibration of a text message.

Lu Wu took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was a text message from Ren Jian.

"Lu Wu, I'm done, collect my body. ”

This is...... Are you kidding? I guess it's a joke. Lu Wu knew Ren Jian's situation very well, even if the slut's opening of the store failed, he would not suffer any real losses. How to say that the main investor of that store is not Ren Jian.

After a while, another text message came, and it was still from Ren Jian.

"Are you free for the evening?

……

It was getting late.

On the industrial side, except for a few people on night duty, the surrounding factory area has been quiet. Recently, the economic environment has not been very good, and the phenomenon of overtime and three shifts has long been lost.

A figure appeared at the door of a warehouse on the edge of the industrial zone. She looked like a woman dressed in black, but if someone was directly in front of her, she would not be dressed in black, but wrapped in an indescribable darkness.

【…… Search...... Found...... The First Magic ...... Energy remnants. Judgment: The target has come to this world ......]

【…… The world is judged to be a highly stable world...... High-level ...... High technology...... Plane: World Repulsion: High, Intelligent Species: Human. Fundamental constant: Minor changes. Judgment: High hazard environment...... Destroying the target must be the first priority, and self-protection must be the second priority......]

【…… The world repulses the repulsion...... Conclusion: Flesh and blood must be obtained from the creatures of this world...... Perform a gradual replacement of the body......】

A slight noise rang out from the weeds on the side of the road, and then a variegated wildcat popped out.

"Meow!" the wildcat spotted the figure in front of him, and immediately let out a high-pitched cry, and the hair on his body stood on end. The dark shadow turned its head, revealing a pair of glowing red eyes.

A few minutes later, two security guards with flashlights walked over to this side following a fixed patrol route.

"Ah...... There's a dead cat here!" The dead cat lies on the edge of the warehouse, within the range of the street lamp, so it is quite eye-catching. Cats don't die naturally, they are killed.

I don't know what kind of beast I was killed, but my body was torn very hard...... It seems to be made by some vicious beast, and it makes people feel numb in the scalp.

"Hey...... Feed...... Could it be a wolf?" a security guard asked his companion.

"Unless the zoo escapes...... Otherwise it must be a wild dog, maybe a mad dog. "While it's not a big deal to die a feral cat, a mad dog is quite a dangerous thing. "Let's go back first, and come back tomorrow. ”
