Text Chapter 438 Buy a book
"What's the rice?"
I saw Sai Tianjiao's mouth open wide and said, "The world of Terra is the zombie apocalypse? Could it be that you are all infected by the zombie virus?
While speaking, Sai Tianjiao also jumped back and put on a very exaggerated expression, Xiao Wang rolled his eyes when he saw it, and couldn't help but say:
"Hehe, our former Decepticon Six Transformation Warrior, when did he become so bold?"
Sai Tianjiao opened her arms and said in a surprised tone: "Zombies, it's not terrible, they all eat people in the movie, and as long as they bite them, they will become zombies like them, which is more terrifying than death!"
At this point, Wang Zhiran couldn't help but shout: "Sai Tianjiao, you've watched too many movies! You are a Transformer, a mechanical lifeform! That kind of zombie virus that will infect humans will not have any effect on you at all! Also, don't tell me anything about zombies eating people, just your iron body, how many zombies can gnaw on it!"
Sai Tianjiao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she understood: "Yes, I'm a Transformer, what zombies am I afraid of?"
"Hee-hee!"
Gui on the side also covered his mouth and smiled.
Wang Zhiran also continued: "Sai Tianjiao, besides, the Terra world and the earth are not the same universe, and the rules are not the same between different universes, so the zombie virus that can wreak havoc on the Terra world does not work on the earth, so it is impossible for me and Gui to be infected, so don't worry." ”
"Oh, too. Sai Tianjiao nodded.
"Actually, we have only been in the world of Terra for a few days, but two months have passed on Earth, which is also the reason, after all, the speed of time flows in different worlds. ”
Wang Zhiran pointed to the moon in the sky and said, "Okay, how long do you want us to stand here Sai Tianjiao? Time is burning." ”
"Hehe, it's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to talk. ”
Sai Tianjiao immediately turned into a Bugatti Veyron, and then opened the door to beckon the two to get into the car, and after the two got in the car, the blue luxury car galloped towards the city center.
On the way, Wang Zhiran didn't forget to ask Sai Tianjiao how Mary and Fino were doing during their absence.
"Both of them?"
Sai Tianjiao said: "Mary is the same, her academic performance is in the middle of the stream, and there is no obstacle to passing but there is no hope of a perfect score. ”
"It's true that Fino has always been a top student in school, and it is said that this princess of the horn clan is really studious, and her grades in science, such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry, have always been full marks, and her liberal arts are also quite powerful. Especially in ideology and politics, it is obviously an open-book exam, but she can get a full score without turning the book!"
"What! Full marks in the ideological and political exam? Still don't turn the book!"
Wang Zhiran was surprised on the spot, you must know that in his impression, ideological and political classes have always been nap classes, because the school usually puts the course in the afternoon, and the course content is extremely boring, which leads to the scene of snoring immediately as soon as the teacher speaks.
As for Wang Zhiran himself, he only barely passed the ideological and political examinations in school back then, and he didn't pay much attention to it at all.
Wang Zhiran couldn't help but say: "I really didn't expect that Fino, this little girl, would attach so much importance to such useless things. ”
However, Sai Tianjiao said: "But Fino doesn't think so." She feels that many theories in ideology and politics explain the core of many problems in society, such as what surplus value, dialectical materialism, and so on. I don't know much about this, if you are interested, you can ask her. ”
"Surplus Value, the Law of the Unity of Opposites, Dialectical Materialism?"
Hearing these words, Wang Zhiran frowned, it seemed that he really had these words in his memory, but it was very old, and his memory had long been blurred, if it wasn't for Sai Tianjiao mentioning these contents, I'm afraid he wouldn't have remembered it at all.
Sai Tianjiao continued: "By the way, Xiao Wang, you mentioned Fino, and I also remembered that she seemed to want you to buy a few books." ”
"Buy books, okay, what books do you want to buy?"
Wang Zhiran agreed in one bite, after all, Fino's father gave him so much gold, part of which was the cost of letting Fino go to the earth for further study, so Fino wanted to buy books, and Xiao Wang had no reason to refuse.
Sai Tianjiao said: "One is "Capital" written by a bearded man surnamed Ma, and the other is "Civilization and Economy" written by a Chinese economist with the pen name Ashtray. ”
"Oh, these two...... Huh?
Wang Zhiran's expression twitched, and he asked: "Why did Fino want to read this? These days, don't those young girls like to read books such as President's Essay, Wang Ziwen, Tan Meiwen, etc., and what is it to read "Capital"!"
"And who's the ashtray? Why don't I remember that there was an economist with that name in China?"
"I don't know!"
Sai Tianjiao said helplessly: "The ashtray was searched by Fino when he was on the Internet, Fino said that the article written by this person was very reasonable, and asked me to help her search for relevant information on the entire Internet, so I found the "Civilization and Economy" written by the ashtray. ”
Now Wang Zhiran is completely messy, how can Fino, this little girl, be different from other little girls?
When Fino came to the earth, Wang Zhiran only planned to let her enter an ordinary school, so that she could understand the customs of the earth and broaden her eyes.
This is also the result that Fino's father, Victor, the emperor of the Mirak world, wants.
After all, the level of vision determines the upper limit of a person.
But now, it seems that Fino has had an unexpected gain, and has developed a strong interest in the knowledge of the social sciences on the earth (economics is also a type of social science).
This is really a surprise to Xiao Wang.
Of course, what needs to be done must be done, who allowed himself to suffer so much gold from Fino's father!
So, Xiao Wang asked Sai Tianjiao: "Is it too late to go to the bookstore now?"
"I'll see. ”
Sai Tianjiao checked the time, and then said: "It's half past seven in the evening, and at my speed, we can go back to the city in just half an hour, and the bookstore closes at ten o'clock in the evening, so it's definitely in time." ”
Wang Zhiran immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go to the bookstore first." ”
However, Gui on the side asked, "Zhiran, why don't we order books online? With the logistics speed of this era, it can be delivered in two days at most." ”
"That's certainly a viable option. ”
Wang Zhiran turned his head to look at Gui and said, "However, I want to solve this matter now, because I am very curious, although Fino's actual age is more than a hundred years old, but according to the age in his heart, Fino and Mary are actually the same age, and when converted to the age of the earth, they are only sixteen years old." ”
"I want to know why Fino is interested in social science, it stands to reason that these boring contents are completely impossible to arouse the slightest interest in a young girl like Fino. ”
Katsura then smiled and said, "So, you can't wait to read those books, and want to know what exactly is in the books that arouses Fino's curiosity, right?"
Wang Zhiran nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"It also piqued my curiosity. ”
"My mother, Aoi, seems to know a lot about sociology and economics, so she often tells me that wealth is created by the industrious hands of working people," Katsura said. Unfortunately, I still don't understand what it means, and I may be able to find an answer to it. ”
"Then let's head to the bookstore now!"
After speaking, Sai Tianjiao stepped on the accelerator and galloped forward.
At 8:30 p.m., Wang Zhiran and his entourage came to the door of Huahai Bookstore in the city center.
After entering the bookstore, Wang Zhiran looked around and couldn't help sighing. It turned out that the bookstore was empty, and there were only a few customers who came to buy books, resulting in a scene where there were more waiters than customers.
Is it true that there are fewer people who want to read books?
Of course not.
In fact, the sharp decrease in the number of customers who come to physical bookstores to buy books has a lot to do with the prevalence of online book purchases, many people can get the books they want without leaving home, just tap their mobile phones and computers, and naturally do not go out to the store to buy books.
I don't know if this phenomenon is good or bad.
Wang Zhiran sighed lightly, and then walked towards the elevator with Gui. After all, floor profiles are generally erected next to elevators.
Soon, the two of them came there and found a brief introduction to the floor.
Huahai Bookstore is divided into seven floors, of which the first to fifth floors are external bookstores, and the sixth to seventh floors are office areas and are not open to the public.
The first floor sells popular books, most of which are varied, while books like economics and sociology are on the fifth floor.
So, Wang Zhiran and Gui took the elevator together and came to the fifth floor.
As soon as they got out of the elevator, a female waitress greeted them and asked them with her trademark smile, "Welcome, what books do you want?"
Wang Zhiran was stunned on the spot, is the service of this bookstore so good? You know, when I was on the first floor before, why didn't a waiter come forward to ask!
Or Gui is smarter, and after surrounding, he reminded Wang Zhiran: "Zhiran, it seems that there are only two of us as guests on this floor." ”
Xiao Wang's expression twitched on the spot.
I see!
The average person, who would come to the fifth floor specializing in selling books on economics and sociology. Of course, it is precisely because there are very few people who buy such books that they are arranged by the bookstore on the fifth floor.
In other words, the waiters here will be very polite to themselves, but they are actually looking at themselves as pandas.
Wang Zhiran couldn't help but recall that he had come to buy Capital.
Well, it looks like I'm going to be a panda today.
So, Wang Zhiran said to the waiter: "Hello, are there "Capital" and "Civilization and Economy" here?"
"You want Das Kapital?"
The waiter's eyes lit up when he heard the title of the book, and he said, "Yes, yes, yes!
As for the book "Civilization and Economy", she has subconsciously ignored it.
Therefore, Wang Zhiran had to remind: "Don't forget, I still want this copy of "Civilization and Economy". ”
"Okay, I'll get it for you!"
After speaking, the waiter rushed to the backstage with an excited face, and vaguely, Wang Zhiran seemed to hear the waiter's words to her backstage colleague:
"Haha, the backlog of things in the warehouse can finally be sold! I really don't know which nerve in the young couple's brain is wrong, to buy this kind of book, don't young people like to go to the first floor nowadays!"
provoked Xiao Wang's brows.
A moment later, the waiter pulled out four books from the backstage.
Three of the books are hardcover books with dark brown covers, and they are very luxurious from the outside, but they are a little older, apparently turned out from under the warehouse, and they are obviously Das Kapital, after all, there are three volumes of the book.
As for the fourth book, it looks much more ordinary, just an ordinary plastic cover, of course, it is "Civilization and Economy".
When the books arrived, Wang Zhiran came to the cashier, ready to pay, only to hear the waiter say: "A total of 250 yuan." ”
"What?"
Hearing this price, Xiao Wang immediately grew his mouth and asked, "Just these few books cost more than two hundred!"
I only heard the waiter explain: "This guest, the three volumes of "Das Kapital" you want are hardcover luxury collections, totaling 210 yuan, and the price of "Civilization and Economy" is 40 yuan, so a total of 250 yuan, yes." ”
