Chapter 015: Don't provoke him

Tianhai University is one of the best comprehensive universities in Tianhai City, it is located in the university town opposite the northernmost end of Novel Street, only about one kilometer away from Novel Street.

Since the distance is not far, Liu Xing and Liu Shiming chose to go on foot.

The sun is scorching and the sun is shining.

The sidewalks are full of flowers and fragrances, and along the vibrant novel street, the siblings walk slowly side by side.

Liu Xing had only been out of the psychiatric hospital for two days, and he hadn't been to many places on Novel Street yet, so he took this opportunity to take a look around.

Although there are many bookstores on Novel Street, there are also leisure and entertainment venues such as concert halls, bars, book bars, KTVs, and shopping malls, which can attract many tourists to play and shop here every day.

Looking all the way through, after a short time, he has walked to the northernmost position of Novel Street, Liu Xing looked up, and saw a white skyscraper standing on the left hand, nearly 100 meters high, the shape of the whole building is very peculiar, like an open giant book standing between heaven and earth.

This skyscraper is called Jianshu Building, which is the Tianhai City Book Testing Center.

The grade of novels in Huaxia is assessed by book connoisseurs, and the book testing center brings together many well-known book connoisseurs, and ordinary people can send novels directly here if they need to identify them.

There is a fee for the appraisal of the novel, and it is expensive.

"Sister, I'm going to go inside and go crazy. ”

"Ah Xing, this is Jianshu Building, there is nothing to visit. If you want to play, I'll take you to the amusement park, right?"

"No, I'll just want to take a look at the Jianshu Building. ”

At Liu Xing's insistence, Liu Shiming accompanied him into the book testing center and went straight to the book building.

As soon as I entered the hall on the first floor of the building, my eyes suddenly opened up, the hall was extremely empty, with an area of more than 400 square meters, and the smooth floor was paved with elegant and noble white jade, spotless, slightly shining, as if a white mirror, Liu Xing's shoes stained with dust were a little embarrassed to step on it.

Looking up, there is a circular cross-shaped spiral roof, and the light blue ceiling is decorated with lily-shaped white lights, like a giant picture of blue sky and white clouds.

After looking in the hall for a while, Liu Xing was already dumbfounded, no matter which corner he looked at, it was extremely luxurious.

Not only is the decoration of the hall luxurious, but the guests in the hall are equally luxurious, either jewels or wearing gold and silver, and you can tell at a glance that they are rich people.

This is not surprising, although there is no shortage of novels in Huaxia, but high-quality novels are very expensive. Three-star novels cost at least 50,000 yuan, four-star novels are ten times more expensive, and five-star novels can basically be sold at sky-high prices.

Therefore, those who can afford to read star novels are basically rich and noble.

Liu Xing looked around and found that there was a service desk in front of the hall, and many people were applying for appraisal with novels.

"Sister, I have a novel to identify. At this time, Liu Xing suddenly put down the schoolbag on his back and took out a book from his arms - "Notes on the Book Tomb".

Liu Shiming was puzzled: "Ah Xing, why do you want to identify this novel?"

Liu Xing confessed: "This is a two-star novel, which should be worth a lot of money." ”

"Two-star novel?" Liu Shiming frowned slightly, "Didn't you buy this "Book Tomb Notes" at a stall for 8 yuan when you were in junior high school, how did it become a star novel?"

"Uh......" Liu Xing didn't know how to explain for a while, and then said, "Isn't the family short of money now, if this novel is identified as a two-star novel, it can be exchanged for some money." ”

After listening, Liu Shiming did not have the slightest joy, her brows tightened, and she asked cautiously: "Ah Xing, are you...... Are you alright?"

"No, I don't. Liu Xing emphasized again, "Appraisal of novels requires book appraisal fees, I don't have any money on me, sister, you can borrow my credit card for me to use, and I will pay ......you back when the "Book Tomb Notes" is sold for money."

Seeing that the more he spoke, Liu Shiming's face became more and more anxious, and she advised: "Ah Xing, you stand here and don't move, I'll go out for a while and come back immediately, understand?"

Liu Xing was a little baffled, but his sister seemed to be in a hurry, so he didn't ask much.

After explaining, Liu Shiming hurriedly walked out of the hall and came to the door of the building, she took out her mobile phone and immediately called Yi Jingen, a doctor at the psychiatric hospital.

Yi Jingen is Liu Xing's attending doctor at the psychiatric hospital.

There were two beeps, and the phone was connected.

"Hey, is it Dr. Yi? I'm Liu Shiming, Liu Xing's sister. ”

"Liu Xing......? It's the guy who read the mystery novel "Detective Wang Nan" and cured his dementia, right?" came the voice of Dr. Yi Jingen on the phone.

"Yes!" Liu Shiming said, "Doctor Yi, something is wrong now. Just now, Ah Xing suddenly took out an ordinary novel, and then said that it was a two-star novel, and he wanted to take the novel to the Jianshu Mansion for money, and his behavior was a bit abnormal, what was going on?"

"There's such a thing, dementia may come back, right?"

"Relapse?" Liu Shiming swallowed, and her worst worries seemed to appear, "But, hasn't Ah Xing recovered?"

Dr. Yi Jingen explained: "I thought that Liu Xing's disease was impossible to cure, but he was suddenly cured, and I couldn't figure it out. I guess that Liu Xing's dementia may be intermittent, sometimes good, sometimes bad, capricious. ”

"Intermittent?capricious?" Liu Shiming suddenly became more anxious, and asked with concern, "What should I do now, should I send Ah Xing back to the hospital?"

"In the case of intermittent dementia, it depends. If the patient still has basic logic and has not completely lost his mind, you can communicate with him slowly, follow his wishes, and stabilize his emotions, which will help him recover from this condition. ”

Liu Shiming thought about it and said truthfully: "Ah Xing shouldn't have lost his mind now, but the logic is a little confused, and he treats ordinary novels as star novels." ”

"If this is the case, you communicate with him in his way first, everything goes according to his will, and don't provoke him. "In this case, the patient is more extreme, and if he fails to fulfill any of his wishes, he will be easily irritable and his condition may worsen." ”

"Okay, I see. ”

"If there's any situation, contact me again. If the condition worsens, send it to the hospital in time. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you. ”

After talking on the phone, Liu Shiming still had a sad face, and her younger brother suddenly fell ill again, how could she be happy?

After cleaning up her mood a little, Liu Shiming walked back to the hall on the first floor and found that Liu Xing was still standing in place and waiting.

"Sister, you're finally back, what's wrong?"

"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”

"Can you give me a credit card?" Liu Xing said very seriously, "I want to appraise the "Book Tomb Notes", and when the appraisal is completed, it will be sold for tens of thousands of yuan." ”

"......" Hearing him, Liu Shiming's heart seemed to be stabbed, and his younger brother seemed to be a little abnormal, and he seemed to have symptoms of paranoia, "Ah Xing, do you really want to identify the novel?"

"Yes. This "Book Tomb Notes" is a two-star novel. ”

Seeing that he was so sure, Liu Shiming didn't say anything more, and readily agreed, because Dr. Yi Jingen had just explained that he must follow Liu Xing's wishes, and must not provoke him, so as not to aggravate his condition.

So, Liu Shiming and Liu Xing walked to the service desk in the hall together, and a waitress with a sweet smile greeted them.

"Hello sir, do you need any help?"

"I'm going to authenticate a novel. Liu Xing put "Notes on the Book Tomb" on the front desk.

"Sir, please fill out the book appraisal application form and pay the book appraisal fee at the same time. ”

"How much does it cost?"

"The novel "Book Tomb Notes" you want to identify has a word count of 200,000 words, and the appraisal fee is 2,000 yuan. β€˜

"2,000 yuan, can it be cheaper?"

"Sir, I'm sorry, but the book appraisal fee is the same price in the whole city. ”

"It's no problem to unify the price, you can reduce the price uniformly!"

"......" The waiter was speechless for a while, and kept a smile on his face, "Sir, this price is set by the superiors, and I can't reduce it for you." ”

Liu Xing only had 100 yuan in his pocket, which was naturally not enough, at this time, Liu Shiming had already taken out a pink wallet from his pocket, took out a credit card from it, and handed it to the waiter: "Can you swipe the card?"

"Yes. ”

Tick, with a crisp sound, 2,000 yuan was swiped out at once, which is really faster than running water.

The moment she swiped the card, Liu Shiming's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, but the 2,000 yuan she had saved for a few months, and now it was all gone, which was somewhat distressing.

Just to prevent her brother's condition from getting worse, Liu Shiming still endured it, so she should treat it as a treatment fee for her younger brother.

"Waiter, we'll be back in an hour to get the results of the novel. ”

"I'm sorry, sir, but it takes at least six hours to identify a novel. ”

"Can you hurry up?"

"Sir, six hours is already the fastest. ”

The fastest?6 hours?

This is also too inefficient!

Liu Xing originally thought that the appraisal of the novel was quick and immediately desirable, but now it seems that he is too naΓ―ve. It takes six hours to identify a 200,000-word novel, and it's now one o'clock at noon, which means that you have to wait until seven o'clock in the evening to get the results of "Notes on the Book Tomb".

It was only then that Liu Xing realized the value of the pair of books he had.

It takes at least six hours for a book connoisseur to identify a novel, while Liu Xing only takes about five seconds to identify a novel with his eye, which is thousands of times more efficient.

In terms of book appreciation, Liu Xing alone is worthy of all the book connoisseurs in the book testing center.

"Waiter, I'll come at seven o'clock in the evening to get the results of the novel. Liu Xing confirmed, "You should be able to get it then, right?"

"Sir, don't worry, we have a well-known book expert in the city, and we will definitely complete the appraisal before seven o'clock in the evening. ”

"Okay, I'll come back in the evening. ”

Liu Xing didn't want to wait for an afternoon in Jianshu Building, so he turned around and said to Liu Shiming, "Sister, let's go, let's go to Tianhai University first." ”

Liu Shiming actually wanted to take Liu Xing to a psychiatric hospital, but she was afraid of angering him, because patients also have self-esteem, and they hate others saying that he is sick.

Helpless, Liu Shiming had no choice but to follow Liu Xing's meaning and take him to Tianhai University to observe the coffin.
