Chapter 22 022 "To My Lovely Roommates"
On the morning of the seventeenth day of the crossing, Lin Youde woke up and found that the upper bunk was empty, and there was no even a quilt, only the slippery bed board remained.
Then he found a letter on his desk.
Lin Youde opened the letter, and the first thing that caught his eye was the neat font "The cutest roommate Lin Youde".
"Cute ......" Lin Youde shook his head and continued reading.

In fact, I very much want to stay and see what amazing things you, the "messenger of God", will do in the future, and my instinct tells me that what you are going to do is much more interesting and great than what those people in the country who chant all day long "Restore the Imperial Kingdom" and "Restore Shenwu Orthodoxy" have to do.
My instincts may also be part of the abilities that God's blood has given me, and it is always frighteningly accurate.
Because of this, I spent the whole night tossing and turning, thinking about whether or not to commit treason, but the statement itself felt very subtle, because the country I wanted to rebel against had not even been established, it was just a piece of the pie.
Yingzhou has made tremendous progress in the past 70 years or so, but the cost of this progress is also obvious to all. Just across the river from Yokohama's huge shipyards, there are children living hungry and hungry; As you walk along the shore of the big ships and other places, listening to the roar of the locomotives on the newly built railroad and the whistles of the steamers departing from Yokohama, you see the old streets and the many children who have no one to take care of them because their parents work in factories.
Many children take on the responsibility of caring for younger siblings before they are 10 years old, and many have even learned to cook on the stove with a stool.
Every evening, they lead their younger siblings to stand at the entrance of the castle, looking in the direction of the factory, waiting for their parents to come home.
My teacher felt so sorry for these children that she sighed when she saw their bloodless faces because of their unbalanced nutrition.
This is Yingzhou, a little East Asian man who runs desperately in order to catch up with the West, and is tired and exhausted.
Many people think that these problems will be solved as long as they are independent, but is this really the case? I'm skeptical, but there's also a small expectation that things will really go in the direction those people described.
Lovely messenger of God, if you are really the one who carries the mandate of heaven to save China, we will definitely meet again one day in the future.

After reading the letter, Lin Youde sighed softly.
From today onwards, there will be no noisy fox to provide all kinds of benefits to himself at night, and it is really a bit lonely.
Thinking like this, Lin Youde opened the wardrobe and planned to get a new coat for himself - the one that was cut by a knife yesterday was stained with a lot of blood, and it couldn't be used at all.
Then Lin Youde found that there was something more in his closet: a **** with a rather delicate **** edge, and a long bandage that I don't know what to do.
A small piece of paper was pinned with a paper clip, and the words "Little Gift for Lin Jun" were written in the same Juanxiu font as the letter Lin Youde had just read.
Lin Youde pursed his lips and scolded "this sassy fox", he took off the note, pinched the **** and hesitated for a few seconds before throwing it back into the closet and began to choose a coat for himself.
**
Before going out, Lin Youde tested his ability a little bit that he had only discovered last night.
First, he asked Viola to pierce the back of his hand with a fork to make sure that the wound left by Shen Ji would disappear quickly, and then he asked Lin Guokai to cut his finger with a knife, confirming that the wound would not go away if he was injured by an "ordinary person" other than himself, and that it would still hurt.
In other words, he Lin Youde will indeed not be killed by Shenji, but it should not be difficult for ordinary people to kill him.
When Lin Youde was in bed last night, he had imagined using this kind of physique that was immune to the damage of Shen Ji to deal with Shen Ji, and the final conclusion was "". After all, the goddess can attack the camp with a single sword to annihilate the existence of the Eight Banners of the **Hachi era, and the Archduchess of Wellington during the Napoleonic Wars also single-handedly annihilated 20,000 French cavalry. Lin Youde didn't think he had the ability to compare with tens of thousands of elite warriorsβeven though they used weapons that were far behind modern ones.
Therefore, the most likely situation for him to encounter a hostile Shenji is that the two sides can't help each other, and even Shenji still has a little advantage - he can't kill him, Lin Youde can still act under Lin Youde's confinement, such as nailing him to the ground or the wall with a spear.
Otherwise, if he knocks Lin Youde into the house and then collapses the house, Lin Youde may be starved to death in the ruins at that time.
But this is still good, at least in the future, I will not become a burden to the beauties of the harem.
In addition, it seems that it is a good choice to use this trait to catch the god - although the effort to catch the sick fox failed last night, it does not mean that it will continue to fail in the future.
"I mean, you're weird this morning." Lin Guokai's voice interrupted Lin Youde's thoughts, "You suddenly said in the morning that you wanted to make a blood alliance or something, I thought you were not normal today, and now looking at your smirk, I think you are not lightly ill." β
Saying that, Lin Guokai stretched out his hand to touch Lin Youde's forehead, but was waved away by Lin Youde.
"I'm normal, don't worry." While Lin Youde said this, the smile on his lips still couldn't be stopped.
Lin Guokai stared at his face for a few seconds, and shook his head helplessly.
"You're happy that the people of Yingzhou are gone, but it's too strange to be happy like this, right?"
Lin Youde was about to answer, but the commotion outside the tram window attracted Lin Youde's attention.
Many people were running in one direction at the same time, and Lin Youde remembered that he had seen a similar scene on the day he first crossed, when the people's destination was the port manpower dispatch station on the side of the canal, and now the tram does not even see the canal. In addition, the crowd this time was obviously much more complicated than the last time: last time, it was clear at a glance that almost all of them were workers, but this time there were men, women, and children in the crowd, and even a woman dressed very much like a noble lady but with a stout figure of a working woman was seen mixed in the crowd.
Lin Youde guessed that those were probably the "middle-class women who love vanity" described many times in the works of Stendhal, Maupassant and others.
The tram is getting slower and slower, which gives Lin more opportunities to observe the increasingly dense crowd outside.
When the tram was completely crowded by the crowd, Lin Youde finally saw the destination of the crowd.
It's the bank.
Uniformed men were holding hands and desperately resisting the crowd that was rushing to the gate, and the crowd was clearly so agitated that some even began to climb over the guardrails on both sides of the bank gate.
At this moment, the gate suddenly opened, and the crowd immediately erupted in shouts, and the wall of people who subdued the crowd was crushed by a large circle. At this time, a gentleman with a calm expression walked out of the door that opened a crack and hung a sign on the door leisurely.
Lin Youde guessed that it was a sign that was closed.
"I'm going to get out of the car and help me get off school leave." Lin Youde threw down this sentence and ran towards the rear of the tram, ignoring Lin Guokai's voice at all.
After jumping out of the car, Lin Youde was immediately swept up by the crowd that was still rushing to the bank, but instead went in the opposite direction for a long time, and even ran to the front of the tram.
Lin Guokai poked his head out of the tram and shouted to Lin Youde: "Dezi, it's okay, right?" β
Lin Youde waved his hand to show that he was fine, and then used his strength to swim against the flow of people. Fortunately, after the crossing, the physical strength of this new skin bag is quite good, probably because the muscles exercised by work-study are hard and powerful, and if you want to replace the loose muscles of Lin Youde in the last time and space, you must be taken away by this wave of people.
Lin Youde was "fighting" with the crowd, but when someone shouted: "The Leybon Brothers Bank three blocks away is about to open, everyone go quickly!" β
After dragging this throat, many people around Lin Youde stopped, as if they were hesitating whether to continue to move forward or transfer to the Leybon Brothers Bank, at this time the voice just now shouted again: "This side has stopped business, and I can't withdraw the money if I squeeze my head!" β
This voice worked very quickly, the flow of people suddenly turned, and the pressure faced by Lin Youde was instantly reduced, and he quickly rushed out of the crowd and ran in the direction of the mansion.
After returning to the mansion, Lin Youde ran up to the third floor, and when he opened the door, he found that Viola was not inside, he hurriedly ran down to the second floor, and as soon as he pulled up the door of the living room, he shouted inside: "Who of you knows that the landlady is going to ...... it"
Lin Youde looked at Viola, who was holding a fork to pick bean sprouts from the jar where he was sending bean sprouts, and his voice disappeared suddenly.
"I'm ......," Viola glanced at the fork in her hand, and quickly shook off the bean sprouts that were stirring on it, "I'm not stealing it." β
After saying that, her cheeks squirmed a few times, and it seemed that she swallowed the contents of her mouth.
"You eat all these raw bean sprouts, how **** are you!"
"I think it tastes pretty good."
Lin Youde couldn't help but hold his forehead, and said in his heart, "You can't fly to the sky happily when you eat fried bean sprouts?
"No, it doesn't matter." Lin Youde shook his head and waved away the nonsensical thoughts in his mind, "Now we have to immediately sell the gold in our hands and go long futures." β
"For what?" Viola looked up at the wall clock, "And the exchange hasn't opened yet......
"It's right that the door hasn't opened," Lin Youde interrupted Viola, "Now a large crowd of civilians are flocking to the bank to withdraw cash, and soon the investors on the exchange will realize that the situation is not right, and they will exchange most of the futures in their hands for marks, and then the exchange will not have the cash to pay us, so we will completely trap it, even if we sell the gold futures, the marks we get will only be a book number." β
"Then just let the exchange issue a check, and we can take the check to the bank to exchange for gold?" Viola asked rhetorically.
Lin Youde was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Viola was right.
"Then do it, in short, quickly, use your aristocratic privileges to blow up those exchange employees and bank employees who haven't gone to work yet!"
