Chapter 59: Going to College

"Lin Xuan, why is your face so bad?

When the meal was served, Uncle Luo saw that his face was not very good, and asked with concern.

Lin Xuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I watched a horror movie yesterday, and I had a nightmare when I slept at night. ”

"Don't look at it next time, it's easy to raise blood pressure if you watch too much of that thing!"

"Well, I don't dare to watch it in the future, and if I want to see it, I have to pull someone to watch it!"

Uncle Luo smiled and put a few pieces of meat into Lin Xuan's bowl: "Eat meat, eat more." ”

The back of his hand was rough like old pine bark, and when he was sandwiching meat for Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan suddenly noticed the watch on Uncle Luo's wrist.

A silver bracelet, a silver dial, a silver hand, and an hour hand with a white feather.

The watch looks very old, some of the places are not worn out, and there is no indication of what the brand is, as if it is a product of the last century.

Lin Xuan has seen this watch a long time ago, Uncle Luo wears it on his wrist every day, and the dial design is a bit special, the even numbers are letters, and the odd numbers are Arabic numerals.

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, respectively, became ABCDES!

Why do even numbers have to be replaced with these six letters?

And it's a little strange that even if the even number is to be replaced by letters, it should be ABCDEF!

Lin Xuan was suddenly stunned, these six letters ...... Isn't that exactly the six levels of the Ability Realm?

Holy!

I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I'm an alien, and I'm a little sensitive to these letters.

Is it just a coincidence? or is it ......

Lin Xuan glanced up at Uncle Luo.

Thin and thin, with little flesh on his body, a weather-beaten face with fishnet lines, gray-white hair, two eyes that are a little sunken inward, and fingers that look a little shriveled...... I remember that Uncle Luo is over sixty years old, and it seems that this appearance is much older than the average old man in the sixtieth year......

Damn, what are you thinking! I actually suspect that Uncle Luo is a stranger, it's outrageous!

Uncle Luo can be regarded as watching himself grow up, how can he be a stranger, there is no such possibility at all!

It seems that the recent experience has made me a little too sensitive......

Uncle Luo was stunned when he saw him looking at his watch, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said nostalgically: "This watch was given to me by an old friend when I was young, and it is said that it is a limited edition bought from Germany." ”

Lin Xuan nodded, and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa Luo, why are even numbers on this dial all letters?"

"Oh, I heard it's because of Germany...... Well, it should be said that Western countries, most Western countries think that even numbers are an unlucky number, it is a day to give flowers to the deceased, so the double number on the watch is replaced by letters, Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, or simply no numbers. ”

Uncle Luo said with a smile: "This watch is some years old, and it is estimated that it has some collection value, and now it is rare to find a watch that replaces numbers with letters!"

"So what's the matter with this S? If it's in alphabetical order, it should be F for 12, right?"

"The first few letters are indeed connected, but this S is not" Uncle Luo took down the watch and pointed to the dial: "Below the S, you can see it." ”

Lin Xuan looked over and saw that Sinn was written under S, and if you didn't look carefully, you might not notice it.

"Sinn, the Chinese name is Xinen, is the brand of this watch! Therefore, the S on the dial represents both 12 and the brand of this watch!"

"Well, so that's the case" Lin Xuan nodded and smiled wryly.

Damn, I was nervous......

After eating and drinking, the two chatted for a while, Lin Xuan planned to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Uncle Luo didn't let him do it, so he had to give up.

For the next two days, Lin Xuan stayed at home all the time, and he didn't need to train for the time being, he ate, slept, and ate, just nourished his spirits, as if he had returned to his original peaceful life.

Ah Yang came once, the transfer procedures have been completed, everything is OK, he gave him the admission letter of Songyang University, opened it and saw that it will start tomorrow.

So that night, Lin Xuan went to the tea shop, intending to tell Uncle Chen about it.

……

"What, you're going to college?" Uncle Chen said in surprise.

"Yes, it's the local Songyang University. ”

Uncle Chen looked at him with a stunned expression, the expression on his face slowly became disdainful, and he said mercilessly: "What do you go to college for? Do you want to learn something? Or do you take your diploma and get ??!a job after graduation?"

Lin Xuan was speechless, and he graduated and found employment...... What are you kidding, this kind of thing won't happen to him.

That might have been the case before that explosion, but now everything has changed......

"What do you go to college for? It's not for that diploma! Get a good job and have a stable income after graduation...... To put it bluntly, isn't it just to make yourself more future? But what does this have to do with you?"

Uncle Chen glanced at him: "The students in a class in the university may not be paid more than you every month after graduation! I really don't understand why you want to go to college!"

"Salary?" Lin Xuan was stunned, and said suspiciously: "How can I have any salary?"

"Hmm, you don't know?" Uncle Chen rolled his eyes: "Why don't you kid know anything?!"

Lin Xuan: "...... No one told me. ”

“…… Then you listen, the people who go out to perform tasks in the dust, the treatment given by the organization is very high, although you are still in the training period, you are not a real duty officer, but presumably the monthly salary will not be less than two million. ”

"What? two million ?!!"

"It's dollars," Uncle Chen added, "two million dollars! If you start a mission, you have to multiply that amount by at least three!"

Lin Xuan's eyes widened and he raised his voice: "The organization also pays salaries???"

"Nonsense, of course there is! Otherwise, where do you think I got the money for those cars?"

I wiped it! It turns out that there is still a salary for joining the dust!

Two million dollars a month? That's too much, isn't it?

Uncle Chen snorted coldly: "Don't think that millions of dollars are a lot, I don't know when I will hang up when I go out on a mission, even if I have more money, it is useless!"

He glanced at Lin Xuan: "Now, do you think it is useful to go to college?"

Lin Xuan shook his head honestly: "It's useless." ”

"Are you still going?"

"Go!"

Uncle Chen suddenly glared: "What are you going to do?

Lin Xuan was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Uncle Chen, you know my parents." ”

"Of course I know! Your father is M, we are both defenders, although the areas in charge are different, we have not met each other a few times, but we have also fought side by side, and we can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who have experienced life and death together! Your mother is Dr. Lan Ling, and she is recognized as a genius, and the smartest scientist today! If it weren't for the fact that you are the son of the two of them, I wouldn't have agreed to take you as a newcomer!"

"Uncle Chen, then do you know why my mother researched the 'dust seal'?" Lin Xuan suddenly smiled and said.

“…… Know, this is not a secret. ”

"My mother wants to return to the life of ordinary people, and she is even more afraid that I will activate the superpower factor and become an alien, so it can be said that the appearance of 'Dust' has a lot to do with me, but unfortunately it backfired......

I've seriously thought about going to college, and since my mother wants me to live a carefree life like ordinary people forever, then according to her wishes, she should want me to go to college!

Although I am now a stranger, and the way I go to school is a bit self-defeating, and this idea is a bit contradictory, but ...... I can't ignore her heart! I can't completely derail my normal life!"

Uncle Chen frowned slightly: "So you have already decided......"

Lin Xuan nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I'm going to college!"
