Sound Nest City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the early morning, Vidi woke up from bed, and the enticing smell of food was already coming from the living room.

The toast is browned and steaming, and next to it is two slices of bacon fried just right, and a poached egg.

In the glass jar, the hot fresh milk makes people feel appetizing at the sight.

"Master, today's newspaper!"

Vidi sat in his seat, and the maid offered to wrap a napkin around him.

At a nearby table, his butler put down the iron and brought the scalded newspaper.

In this era, civilian technology and military, and even royal technology, are completely two concepts, although the latter two have reached the point of transistors and display screens, but in the people, the ink of the printing house is still generally not up to standard, there is a kind of shoddy taste, especially the newspaper that has just been printed, a touch will be dyed with a layer of ink.

Ordinary newspapers, because of the cost, cannot afford to use such high-end technology.

Therefore, in the real upper class of families, there are people who are responsible for ironing the newspapers that are delivered every morning, and under normal circumstances, this is the job of the housekeeper.

"Hmm!"

Vidi took the warm newspaper, and after ironing, the ink on it had dried thoroughly, giving off a fresh fragrance, and it did not stick to his hands at all.

"Science Quest Magazine is out of business?"

He drank the milk, ate the bacon with the bread, and then read the newspaper, and was suddenly a little surprised, and felt reasonable again.

"There are so many supernatural events in the kingdom, and the other party can't even explain it at all, and the angry readers have already asked it to give an explanation......"

Vidi flipped to the second page of the newspaper and a striking headline suddenly came to mind - 'Exploring the Great Forest of Siberly and Discovering Mysterious Werewolf Trails!' ’

"Alright! Another werewolf has been discovered, what the hell is wrong with this world? ”

Vidi rolled his eyes and grumbled.

In his life, elementary school and junior high school have not been the slightest different, since that graduation trip, he came back and broke through his parents' obstruction, insisted on choosing the path he wanted, and walked quite well, and now he is a well-known businessman in Sound Nest City.

It's just that he hasn't changed much, but this world is becoming more and more strange to him.

"Paranormal class admissions?"

"Lecture by a master of the occult!"

"Henry the Great Adventurer's lecture?"

……

On the side page of the newspaper, there were still many advertisements and job postings, and Vidi just glanced at it and shook his head: "Since the appearance of werewolves, there have been more and more liars in the kingdom under the banner of special functions, if you really want to see superpowers, it is better to go directly to the Salvation Church, at least those magic skills must be real!" ”

Thinking of the Church of the Redemption and Pope Steven, Vidi couldn't help but smile on his face.

Being able to make such a friend is simply the greatest achievement of his life.

He even suspected that if it weren't for the influence of this aura, his career in Soundnest City would not be so smooth.

"My butler, do I have any omissions today?"

After eating and drinking, Vidi wiped his mouth with a white napkin, chewed another mint, and asked leisurely.

"According to yesterday's schedule, the host should have arrived at the company at nine in the morning, the driver was already waiting outside...... Also, Madame came to you and left you a message! ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

A look of helplessness appeared on Vidi's face: "If you want me to sign up for some weird cram school and meet with some important person in college admissions, then you don't need to tell me." ”

"Actually, neither!"

The butler's face was a little strange: "Madame asked me to tell you that she has prepared a marriage for you, and I hope you will meet your fiancée at this evening!" ”

"Wait!"

Vidi's eyes immediately widened: "Set a marriage? Fiancee? Oh, my God...... What age do you think it is? Isn't this kind of parental marriage long overdue for sweeping into the dustbin of history? ”

"Actually, neither the lord nor the lady think so!"

His butler said in a tone full of regret, "As your personal butler, I also recommend that you meet this Miss Lilith, who is from a famous family in the kingdom!" ”

"Okay, okay......"

Vidi sighed: "I can't imagine that even if I move out, I still can't escape the clutches of my family...... But to keep them from coming here and roaring...... You tell her, I'll go! ”

Jingle bells!

At this moment, on the small round table in the living room, the golden microphone and the telephone with a rattle suddenly rang.

"Master, looking for your phone, the other party claims to be your old classmate!"

After the butler took it, he immediately handed the microphone to Vidi.

"I have a lot of classmates, and since I established my trading company, I can meet a few acquaintances when I go out......

Vidi muttered dissatisfiedly, took the microphone, and immediately heard a voice in his ear that surprised him: "Hey! Viddy, I'm Steven, do you have time to get together? Call someone else! ”

"Yes, of course!"

Vidi jumped almost immediately: "Where are you?" I'll go right over? ”

"No hurry, I'll take an airship and arrive in Soundnest City this evening, with a night to spare."

Wu Ming on the other side said.

"I know, I'll pick you up myself!"

Wei Di took a deep breath, put down the microphone, and immediately said loudly: "Butler, go to the best hotel in the city immediately, book a good private room and a banquet." ”

"Also, what kind of marriage meeting, let's reschedule!"

Vidi made a happy decision, and the butler raised his brow in surprise, he rarely saw the master's eyebrows fluttering.

"I'm going to start preparing now, and I'm going to have to make a few more phone calls, Neville and Philip will definitely call, and Alice...... Alas...... I heard she's having a hard time lately......"

……

At the same time, inside a research institute in the city of Soundnest.

"Alice, what's the matter with you? Why is it that even the simplest parameter records are wrong?! ”

Alice wore the worker's uniform that she had to wear in the workshop, and there was a lot of engine oil on her body, and she apologized vigorously: "I'm sorry, director, I'll pay attention next time!" ”

"Want to have another time?"

The owner's chubby face was full of anger at this time: "Alice, do you know what the environment is now?" The situation in the various institutes is not good, and our institute is also preparing to lay off employees......"

Alice's face turned pale.

This is also the truth, the ability is in the world, and the most influential are these basic scientific research institutions, unless they happen to be studying the supernatural ability, otherwise they will generally be questioned.

"Now it's getting harder and harder to mix in society, even the elites who come out of the university can look down on our small research institute, and I received ten resumes this week......

Hearing the director's count, Alice's head lowered.

Although she has studied harder over the years, she has worked very hard every day, and she has to participate in various training courses at night, and the cost is often more than worth the loss, and both sides are not good.

Actually, the easier road is not without it.

That is to give up their dreams and honestly get married and have children.

Her mother had already found several candidates for her, and they all looked good.

But for some reason, Alice just doesn't want to.

'How can my youth be consumed on these things......

Alice gritted her teeth secretly, but on the surface, she still had to apologize vigorously.

After being scolded by the director, taking on more punitive work, and having a day's wages deducted, Alice finally walked out of the institute as if she had come down from the battlefield covered in bruises.

Let's do it!

At this moment, on the side of the road, the sound of the airbag horn suddenly sounded.

"Hey, beauty, do you want a ride?"

A casually dressed guy who looks like a rich second-generation guy opened the door of the steam sedan and bowed slightly: "I also have a free dinner here!" ”

"Viddy, you guy!"

Looking at this old classmate, Alice finally showed a relaxed smile.

The other party and her in the first half of her life can be described as having the same disease, they are not good at learning, and no matter how hard they try, they can't catch up with those who are scholars and gods.

It's just that Vidi is very lucky, the family conditions are far better than her, and he has more courage to start his own path.

"Aren't you going to the company today?"

Alice asked, a little curiously.

"Let's get in the car first!"

Waity invited Alice into the car without saying anything, and then confessed: "A few of our old classmates are going to get together, and I called Inspector Philip and Neville ......"

"Philip also successfully graduated and was assigned here as a police inspector!"

Alice sighed faintly, and suddenly reacted: "No...... Why are you meeting all of a sudden? ”

"It's naturally because, he's here!"

Vidi sighed: "Alice, I know that you are very strong and do not want to accept our help, but you must know that in this highly competitive society, you need to bet all your resources on the table as chips, otherwise, how can you defeat those who are better off than you and work harder than you?" ”

"I know, I know all this......"

Alice muttered, the feeling in her heart was too complicated to describe.

And all this, when I got out of the car and came to the box of the largest hotel in the center of the city, suddenly intensified to the peak.

"I'm not suitable here, let's go!"

She looked at the splendid décor and her own extremely simple, white-washed overalls, and suddenly felt inferior.

"Why are you leaving? It's good to meet old friends first! ”

Viddy's eyes were sharp, and he saw a figure, and immediately shouted, "Neville, here!" Over here!! ”
