Chapter Fifty-Eight: Small Talk
It's been almost a week since the kendo duel in the Cold Weapon Combat class.
Over the course of a week, several videos went viral on the Night's Watch forums, and there was no doubt that the three probing 'first-first-first' showdowns were the same.
In the first match, the new emperor Caesar Gattuso faced the head of the kendo department, Miyamoto Isshin.
Undoubtedly, it was a very beautiful duel, and many people were amazed by Caesar's understanding of the first move, and at the same time did not praise Miyamoto Yixin's perfect feint, even if Miyamoto Yixin changed the bamboo sword from his right hand to his left hand on the video, everyone couldn't help but think that there was really an invisible sword slashing over Caesar's head.
The head of the kendo department and the elite of the Japanese branch live up to its name.
And the new emperor Caesar's response is also excellent, that knife can not be avoided by anyone, but Caesar can, and only he can listen to the sound and distinguish the position.
The videos from the second scene are all slow-motion versions, and Lin Nian's two knives that knocked down Miyamoto can only be captured after 0.1 times of slow play, after all, the shooting equipment is only a limited number of mobile phone frames, and many people regret not being able to see the two knives with their own eyes when they are not at the scene.
In the third game, Lin Nian vs. Principal Ange, the last duel has reached the upper limit of the number of frames on the mobile phone, this one is naturally unexpectedly broken, the last second Ange is still in front of Lin Nian, the next second the two are already misplaced, Lin Nian's hand also pulled out the bamboo sword, the sense of discontinuity in the picture seems to have been edited, but the student who took the video cursed that he had not done any processing of the video, which was 100% what everyone saw at the time.
This video, which is difficult to see at all, has the largest number of viewers, almost a week in the top three of the forum, Lin Nian, Caesar and Principal Ange have also become hot searches in the forum, and the conversation after tea and dinner is all about the cold weapons class.
There is no doubt that the strength of the 'S'-class hybrids has been recognized by most people, if everyone had no real sense of the so-called 'S' class when there was a lot of noise in the forum at the beginning, then after this week of fermentation, everyone clearly recognized one thing...
“‘... Is it true that there is indeed an ultimate hybrid in the academy who is extremely qualified and has the expectation to surpass everyone? 'Fingal, are you mistaken?' In the 303 dormitory, Lin Nian read aloud the content of the top post of the night watchman forum, and finally looked up helplessly at the top bunk above his head.
"Senior brother, calm down, the current news needs some gimmicks, otherwise no one will contribute to the number of clicks." The benevolent brother on the top bunk of the bed was lying on the pillow and counting the bills with Erlang's legs crossed, and there was a hot family bucket at hand: "As a junior brother, senior brother has been taking care of you for many days, and it is also very reasonable to seek some profits for senior brother on weekdays..."
"We're not even the same teacher, I'm technically your 'junior'." Lin Nian sternly resisted this kind of almost title, the last time this guy called him so affectionate, he deceived him into a valuable supper, after all, he was blinded by the goose beater.
"It's okay, in our Germany, the junior brother and the junior brother are not separated, after all, the little junior sister and the junior sister sound the same delicious, and the senior sister and the senior sister also sound the same long-legged royal sister." Fingal handed down a hot pistol leg: "Come, junior brother, take a whole bite, you have a share of the credit for this family bucket." ”
"Thinking about profiting from your junior all day long, are you a crab Ajin?" Lin Nian was full of indignation... Stretched out his hand and took the pistol leg, he has always refused to be invited by someone, just like a man surnamed Lu at three o'clock in the morning in China can cheat him out of his home with a word of Internet fee.
"Senior brother, I understand, you are famous in the cold weapons class, the heat is very high, life is very good, there are senior sisters and seniors who are chasing you, you don't need me as a friend anymore, you don't even want to call me a senior brother now." Fingal made a false lament.
Lin Nian gnawed on the chicken leg expressionlessly, and finally figured out the urine sex of the senior in his dormitory in the past few days, this guy is an out-and-out slut, but he is very slutty, at least he can still eat shit after making a lot of money with you as a gambling plate... Don't forget to dig the well to buy a family bucket to thank you, looking at the face that smiles as bright as a chrysanthemum, you can't say anything.
Poor Lin Nian had expected his dormitory to be full of academics and books when he came to the Kassel Academy, but now he could only smell the smell of fried chicken thighs with chili powder in the air.
"Huh? Do you still have chili powder, give me some. Lin Nian sniffled, and couldn't help poking his head up.
"Oh, yes, more, come and stretch out a little." Fingal also poked his head out and shook the pistol leg with the chili bag.
It's a harmonious scene of roommates.
"But each of your three videos has a single charge, which is outrageous, right?" Lin Nian couldn't help but roll his eyes while nibbling on the chicken leg and rolling his eyes in the forum, he should have thought that there was no shortage of students in the freshman who were extremely interested in gossip, so that Fingal, the old fox, developed into a paparazzi in the Ministry of Information to monitor him and Caesar at all times: "I even recently found that someone was following me... Honestly, you're not from your Department of Information! ”
"Oh? Did you find out? ”
"Sure enough, it's your person, don't hurry up, I'll go to class and follow me all the way, it's too much to go to the toilet!" Lin Nian angrily stabbed the top bunk.
"No, it's not mine, that's your support group." Fingal shook his head and said.
"After?" Lin Nian thought he had misheard.
"Support group." Fingal repeated it in a straight voice: "A non-governmental organization like a star-chasing fan group, what does it matter if you go to the toilet with you, they will even rummage through your garbage bag." ”
"I'm not a star! What are you doing in my garbage bag? ”
"How do I know, it's not going to be your used toilet paper... But you're almost a star now, and it seems that you've understood the status of the 'S' class title in the Kassel Academy these days, but you're still lacking some foresight and don't realize what the 'S' class means to the entire secret party. Fingal explained, "For the entire Secret Party, an 'S' class is like a three-way battle, and we found you, the mustache with a drawing board, when the mountains were at the end of the day..."
Lin Nian forced himself not to complain about Fingal's weird metaphor, he was still half a cold male god when he was in Shilan, but by the time he got to bedroom 303, he had gradually assimilated to this terrible roommate.
"At first, you didn't look amazing with a drawing board, but now after this experience, you seem to have put down your drawing board and had a passionate impromptu speech." Fingal licked his fingers and continued to count the bills: "The video of your battle with the head of the kendo department of the student union and the principal is very convincing, so that everyone is willing to believe that you are the next dragon slaying leader, with your current prestige, maybe go out and raise your arms and shout: Da Chu Xing is the victorious king, overthrow the school council, and occupy Kassel!" Maybe a whole bunch of 'people with lofty ideals' will follow you behind your ass and rush to the principal's office and chop up the principal. ”
"Why chop the principal?"
"Chopping the principal is not the point, the point is that you have a high prestige now, we discussed before, this academy pursues an elite system where the strong is king, so in this environment, it is easy to give birth to a complex of worshipping the strong, and you are the strong." Fingal said, "You have to know that this is a good thing and a bad thing..."
"What's good and what's bad?" Lin Nian was spicy and stuck out his tongue when he ate chicken legs, and this damn Fingal ate perverted spicy.
"It's good that you raised your arms..."
"You raise your arms again, and I'll come up right away and put the whole family bucket on your head."
"Then climb up and shout..." Fingal once again showed his good Chinese skills: "As soon as you ascend to the heights, you will have a junior sister and senior sister to give you a hug, and your life can now be a copy of Jack Su..."
"What is Jack Sue?" Due to the limited time on the Internet, Lin Nian's knowledge of Internet popularity is still a little shallow.
"In your Chinese slang, it's Long Aotian." Fingal gives a very accessible explanation.
"Does it mean that you can make money and make a good living?"
"It's too vulgar to talk about money, you're all half-breeds, what else are you talking about? I didn't pursue it. Fingal scoffed at Lin Nian's words, and at the same time licked his fingers and continued to count the money.
"Did I tell you I actually came to Kassel Academy for a scholarship?" Lin Nian said faintly.
"Alas, it's okay if you want to make money, junior brother, you are used to living a hard life, senior brother can understand your thirst for money, you are more like Eugene (Mr. Krabs) than me." Fingal sighed: "If you really want to make money quickly, it is recommended to apply for early admission to the executive department, that place is very suitable for talented people like you, if you are thirsty for money, then the head of the executive department is thirsty for talent, you two are a perfect match." ”
"Can the executive department make money?"
Fingal immediately shouted: "Senior brother, be more restrained, the word 'make money' is too dark, why are you people with status." ”
Lin Nian also realized that he seemed to have exposed some attributes, and coughed twice: "Do you mean that you can make money?" Brother. ”
"At this time, you call me senior brother again... Then again, are you short of money, junior brother? You're the first person I've ever seen who enrolled early because of a scholarship. Fingal threw the chicken bones into the family bucket box and licked his fingers.
"If you count the $130 you owe on my student ID card when you tricked me into ordering a late-night snack, I'm really short of money, and I don't dare tell my sister about it." Lin Nian's words were full of resentment.
"You can't blame me for this, this is the traditional art of Kassel Academy, the senior tricked the junior into using the student ID card to swipe a supper or something, and if we have a new person in the dormitory in the future, you can also trick him into ordering a disaster." Fingal shrugged: "The topic is back, junior brother, you know that we are not ordinary people, half-breeds are like little supermen in human society, but this power must be restrained, and those who illegally use the power of half-breeds to make money will be purged by the Executive Department, you should be glad that you have been able to control it in the first half of your life and did not act as a traitor, otherwise it will not be Senior Sister Mandy and Professor Manstein who will come to you, but those embryos from the Executive Department." ”
"I've also learned a little bit about the affairs of the executive department in the past few days, and I heard that it is a violent department, but what do you say he can make money?" Lin Nian nodded in understanding.
"This has to start with the Executive Department itself, the Executive Department is in charge of all the actions related to the situation of the Dragon Clan outside the Kassel Academy, from the awakening of the Dragon King to the small half-breed traitor section, as a secret party, we have the responsibility to protect the secrets of the Dragon Clan, and we also have the responsibility to protect the human world from being harmed by the Dragon Culture."
"Do you mean we're half-breeds or world police?" Lin Nian found a very appropriate word.
"It's not wrong if you want to say that, anyway, as long as there is something about the dragon clan in any place in the world, it's right to find the executive department!" Fingal said: "Don't think that the world police are easy, the commissioners of the Enforcement Department do high-risk drudgery, even the task of recovering every alchemical item can lead to a series of gangster revenge, high-speed drag racing, street shootings." ”
"But the rewards must be huge." Lin Nian said tentatively.
"That's right, if you give, you will gain, this is an eternal truth." Fingal put the Coke on his pectoral muscles, held the straw in his mouth, raised his hand to the back of his head, and said vaguely: "Half of us half-breeds are human, since we are human, of course we want to enjoy the top things, drive a good car, soak in a good girl, and live in a good house." For example, the principal heard that every year he would travel to Preveza Beach in Greece at public expense, eat expensive Michelin three-star food, live in a large villa by the sea, and soak... Ahem, I choked on Coke. ”
Fingal coughed and continued with a sloppy look: "Of course, it takes a lot of financial resources to do these things, and the secrets are supported by a large consortium of two, such as the Gattuso family behind Caesar, who has been with you recently, they are the party with the most investors in the school board, and they are so rich that I heard that in recent years, they have also wanted to build their own satellites to the sky..."
"Your 'good place' is very ambiguous." Lin Nian frowned.
"Don't care about the details! The point is that the executive department is the knife of these secret parties! And the knife man has to always apply knife oil... So that means the executive department is very lucrative! Fingal raised his voice: "It's not difficult to understand, since the secret party is so rich, of course they will take care of their capable cadres, if you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grazing, we students are good horses in the stable, the better the better, the more resources can be tilted and reused-you know?" Specialists in the Department of Enforcement receive five-figure pay for a single 'C' assignment. ”
"Dollars?" Lin Nian blinked.
"That's definitely a dollar, the green Franklin." Fingal sighed: "It's just a 'C' level mission, the higher the difficulty of the task, the more you get paid, I remember a graduate who used to poo on the forum to perform a 'A' class mission... Tsk, at that time, I was envious and went out directly to the door of the executive department to recommend myself. ”
"And then?" Lin Nian was curious.
"And then? Then halfway through, I was hungry and went to the cafeteria and ordered a pork knuckle. ”
Lin Nian got out of the bed and took a good look at Fingal on the top bunk, wondering if this guy couldn't get off with a pig's elbow stuck horizontally in his head.
"Don't look at me like that!" Fingal's eyes widened: "It's not me who instigates it, it's that the executive department is really not a place for people to stay, and if you have something to do, you will be sent to that kind of high-risk place!" A student of my level..."
"'E' class?" Lin Nian stabbed him silently.
Fingal was so distressed that he touched a chicken leg from the family bucket and threw it to Lin Nian, sent him away, and continued: "In short, the executive department is a good place to get money quickly, but there must be a premise for all this, that is, you have to become the main editor of the executive department, otherwise they will only give you grade points and full marks in internship classes as a student to complete tasks. ”
"What does it take to become a full-time editor?" Lin Nian took the chicken leg and sat back on his bed.
"It's simple, complete three B-level or above assignments, and then go through the review of Schneider, the head of the executive department, you can become a world policeman who eats public pay with a latte." Fingal's use of neologisms is what he learns and uses.
"Can current students apply?" To be honest, Lin Nian was a little moved by Fingal's nonsense.
Fingal on the top bunk didn't answer Lin Nian's question, and after a few seconds of silence, Fingal poked his head out and asked cautiously, "No, junior brother, you're not really tempted, are you?" ”
"Why do you ask?"
"Because your face is full of eagerness..."
"In order to make money, I skipped school to move bricks, just to pay the rent." Lin Nian said indifferently.
"Senior brother, you're more like a mule than me... But the problem is that you don't have to work and study now, as an 'S' level student, you have a scholarship, which is tens of thousands of dollars, why not enough? Fingal looked a little hesitant.
"It's not enough to buy a house." Lin Nian shook his head: "This money can't even afford to buy a toilet in my hometown..."
"Are your toilets made of gold?"
"The land is paved with gold." Lin Nian said: "I have to save money to buy a house, right?" Otherwise, where would you go after graduation? ”
"Then there's no need to buy a house, right? Is it bad to take a step back and spend 10,000 or 20,000 to buy an RV? In the future, you can drive wherever you want to travel, and when you meet a beautiful girl on the road, your brother can also help you cheat into the car. ”
"How did you automatically substitute yourself as a passenger..."
"It's not important, the important thing is whether you are too self-fulfilling to make money just to buy a house, if you say that it is for the future fate of mankind or something, senior brother, I will temporarily put down the chicken leg and applaud you."
"I don't have any dreams." Lin Qing smiled and lowered his eyes slightly: "It's just that it's not good to have a room of your own?" ”
The bedroom was quiet for a while, Fingal scratched his cheek and looked at Lin Nian and said, "I seem to understand." ”
"What do you know again?" Lin Nian sighed: "Don't tell me that you start to think that my hometown is full of gold mines..."
"No, junior brother, you want a home." Fingal said with a sigh.
Surprisingly, Lin Nian was stunned, this time he did not refute Fingal's words.
"When I pulled up your information, I found that the most thing you usually do on the Internet is to look up what minors can do part-time jobs, as well as the price of cheap second-hand houses, and the second most important thing is to play games. I remember where I heard about your Chinese philosophy, where you see the house as a place of soul and a symbol of security when you are adrift. Fingal scratched his cheek: "A fifteen or sixteen-year-old student who is looking for a part-time job every day and cares about housing prices at the same time does sound quite miserable... So I think when you say you want to buy a house, you don't mean that you want the kind of villa facing the sea, but just the kind of nest that you will sleep in peace no matter how far you go. ”
After Lin Nian paused, he shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Your home is a nest, and this bedroom is like a dog kennel." ”
"Anyway, I probably understand what you mean, junior brother, this pursuit is very good, compared to a kennel where you can go home and throw your pants casually, what is the fate of mankind? Senior brother supports you. Fingal clenched his fists and made a pull-down motion.
Lin Nian didn't know what to say for a while, but he inexplicably felt that he was moved by this second goods, but did the tears seem too emotional at this time?
Before he could react, Fingal retracted back to the top bunk: "Senior brother, if you want to make money, joining the executive department is indeed a good choice, but you are only a freshman now... Oh no, not even a freshman, even a minor, if I were the head of the executive department, I would consider whether there was any suspicion of child labor in sending you to complete the task... Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't join the executive department, but only if you prove that you have the skills to excel others. ”
"This freshman war practice class seems to be a good opportunity." Fingal said: "I heard that the executive department thinks that the stagnant water in the academy is about to stink, and this time I want to play the second biggest, so that you freshmen can experience the impact of combat up close, so the mission target seems to be a dangerous hybrid involved in serial murders." ”
"Where did you get the news?" Lin Nian was a little puzzled, he didn't see any news on the Night Watch forum.
"Anyway, I'm also the Minister of Information." Fingal snorted like a pig as he ate a chicken thigh.
"When did that start?" Lin Nian thought for a while and asked.
"Just recently, soon. If you really want to join the executive department, you have to be prepared to make a deep impression on them, for example..."Fingal's voice paused, as if he had choked on eating chicken legs for a long time before swallowing the second half of the sentence: "Capture that dangerous half-breed or something." ”
