Chapter 32 Investing in the Future
Lu Yiming began to take stock of the information obtained from this operation.
"A parallel world similar to Earth, tragically extinct due to an intractable S-Class catastrophe. And then I saved a ceramic villain who seemed to have wisdom in that world......"
"It should be strong and with a certain level of goodwill. Hmmm......"
Lu Yiming stood by the window, watching the vehicles coming and going.
That inexplicable ceramic villain is the first big harvest.
"If I use the power of this ceramic villain, maybe I can return to that parallel universe......"
"A double door that belongs to me?"
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't figure out what the gain of returning to that parallel universe would bring.
That world is so terrifying, just a weird phenomenon almost let me hang up, maybe there is a second, third, fourth......
If the whole world is filled with these horrible supernatural phenomena, it is too dangerous to venture into them.
"The supernatural phenomena in that world are too strong, and the number of strange things should be more than ours, but it's too cost-effective to fight for your life. Hey, I'm too weak right now to be like this. ”
"It would be nice to have the Ceramic Villain take an entire army to explore, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to want anyone else to know about its existence...... It shouldn't help. ”
Lu Yiming sighed, the current peaceful days are the most precious.
In his world today, although there are all kinds of contradictions and disputes between people and the division of the rich and the poor in society, compared to the problems of survival, they are all just trivial matters.
Survive...... That's the first thing!
It's just a pity that the world will run in its own way, and it won't be shaken by Lu Yiming's will alone.
The second big catch is the ceramic shard, which, according to the ceramic doll, can save your life!
It is unknown what kind of life-saving method it is.
With the IQ of the ceramic villain, and there is no way to express it clearly, it will only say some very simple words such as "hippopotamus". As long as you don't know what you mean, it all boils down to "hippopotamus".
"Do I have to teach it to speak?" Lu Yiming's heart moved.
No, if the IQ of the ceramic villain is too high, maybe it can't be suppressed.
It's easier to control if you're stupid.
Lu Yiming thought darkly, how to coax this ceramic villain, but if it was too stupid, it wouldn't work.
He stared at his infinite energy mobile phone, and the ceramic villain had been living in it.
"Forget it, take a little time to educate it, let it have the IQ of a three-year-old child, and the communication will be smoother. Now that's really not going to work. ”
"Third...... And one more big bonus! Notebook! ”
Lu Yiming spread out the notebook he had picked up in the parallel world in his pocket on the table and carefully spread it out.
There is a dense written record on it, and it can be regarded as the richest trophy of this operation.
Maybe there's something important in it!
His heart beat slightly faster, and he scribbled some of the words on a blank piece of paper, then searched the Internet for similar words.
It's a pity that this kind of writing has never appeared in this world, and naturally nothing can be found.
"It's a real hammer, and it can't even be queried on the Internet, it's definitely not our text here."
"Looks like we'll have to find a way to get this notebook to the institute in a reasonable way."
How to crack it should be bothered by those professionals, and it is not necessary to take everything on you.
Of course, the so-called "reasonable" must pay attention to the correct method, not to say that you will be taken seriously if you pick up a notebook on the side of the road and turn it in.
Although the institute has strong political power, it still has limited manpower in order to keep secrets, and it is impossible to spend the energy of experts on trivial matters.
On the other hand, Lu Yiming didn't want to expose that the notebook was found in a parallel world.
He couldn't explain the fact that he had run into a parallel world.
What's more, he promised the ceramic villain not to reveal the news. It would be miserable if you took the liberty of annoying the other party, even if the other party looked stupid, but it was not wise to break the contract and put yourself at risk.
"You still have to find the right opportunity to turn it in."
……
In the afternoon, the years were still quiet, and nothing particularly big happened.
Lu Yiming sat in the office and studied the notebook for an afternoon, but he didn't study the fart.
What a waste of life!
Lu Yiming shook his head, gave up completely, and then focused his attention on the ceramic fragment in his hand.
Except for the fact that the temperature is a little lower, it looks like an ordinary ceramic. However, if you use the method of mind possession, you will find that it is a veritable monster.
There is an invisible force that blocks the invasion of ideas. When the mind touches it, it has a very cold and comfortable feeling, like sprinkling some mint on the head.
But that's about it.
So far, this piece of ceramic has not shown any peculiarities.
"Whew...... It's really a laid-back job. ”
I yawned and looked at the time again, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, another day had passed.
"I haven't eaten dinner yet, so I'm going to have a meal before I go home. I'll figure it out tomorrow and turn in my notebook. ”
The weather was a bit hot, and it was already July, and even at five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still quite bright.
In the big rice bucket restaurant near the security building, he casually ordered fried noodles with shredded pork, hurriedly solved the problem of food and clothing, bought another bottle of happy water, and patted his stomach, Lu Yiming was quite satisfied with his life.
To be honest, this job is really a bit of a layback, he has been here for several days, doing nothing in the office every day.
If it weren't for the fact that the world is becoming more and more dangerous and he needs to train himself all the time, maybe he would have really thought that he had reached the pinnacle of life and achieved financial freedom.
"Hey, handsome guy, do you want me to take you home? This is my new car, how is it? ”
Jin Lili drove a red luxury car, rolled down the window, and greeted.
She was born in a wealthy family, with a superior family background and a more lively and cheerful personality, and often came to tease Lu Yiming, a new colleague.
Lu Yiming glanced at her car, turned his head and ran: "I can't afford to provoke it, others will say that I eat soft rice when they see me sitting in the co-pilot." ”
Jin Lili drove the car and followed: "Do you want me to borrow you to drive for a while?" How about me sitting in the co-pilot...... Never driven a sports car, right? You can give it a try, don't look like a stinky fart! ”
"Well, you made me drive it."
Lu Yiming was not polite, and when he stepped on the accelerator, the roar of the motor sounded.
Buzz!
The sports car drove slowly on the road, and passers-by looked at him with strange eyes.
This feeling of being watched by others is too pretending to be forced, and it is a little unbearable, Lu Yiming can't help blushing.
He doesn't like to pretend very much.
Jin Lili laughed on the side: "You are so hypocritical, you just called you up and refused." Now everyone else thinks I'm eating your soft rice, so it's satisfying? ”
Lu Yiming said nervously: "You are wrong, it is normal to carry a woman next to you...... They must be thinking, I made the motor of the car so loud, I don't have any quality at all!! There were also people cursing me when I had a car accident, even though I wasn't driving fast at all......"
"Haha, you have a point."
Lu Yiming said again: "Do you know what I'm thinking now? ”
"I'll buy one myself in the future...... That's a good feeling, right? ”
"Of course not, not at all. I'm nervous right now, you know? If you crash your car, will you make me lose money? A little stone feels like it's going to overturn, it's so hard to drive, I won't buy this kind of car in the future. ”
"And do you know why men or women like to buy luxury cars?" Lu Yiming paused, revealing a smile.
"Why?"
"According to a psychological report, showing off your car is equivalent to showing off your economic power. In today's society, showing off economic strength is equivalent to showing off one's reproductive ability, driving this kind of car is too superficial, am I such a superficial person? ”
"Really...... Inexplicable theory! But it seems to make some sense. Ha ha! Jin Lili didn't mind Lu Yiming's statement either, and laughed again.
She asked again, "So what are you doing with all this money?" Maybe it will become a pile of waste paper in the future, and these things will expire and become obsolete. You will have a lot of salary every month, what do you save money for? Do you become a billionaire by saving money? ”
Lu Yiming said solemnly: "I'm going to buy a Wuling Hongguang." ”
"What?"
"Make an investment!" Lu Yiming said: "If the end of the world really comes, isn't it cost-effective to stock up on a batch of electronic products?" Anyway, items such as mobile phones and laptops are not large, and a car worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions! If the order collapses, it will be difficult to produce these globalized consumer electronics, right? So I'm going to stock up on some goods, which will always be needed as long as humanity isn't completely extinct. ”
Jin Lili was slightly surprised: "Hmm...... That's a good idea, but the government should be stockpiling supplies. ”
Lu Yiming said: "But it's okay for me to hoard some personally, right?" Those of us who have ferry tickets also have some personal space, right? The government belongs to the government, and my own belongs to myself, and it is impossible to take my things to confiscate them? ”
This question turned Jin Lili upside down.
She doesn't have the same sense of psychological urgency as Lu Yiming, it's been more than ten years since the prophecy was proposed, isn't it okay now? Why the urgency? But seeing Lu Yiming's preoccupied look, she was also a little anxious.
"It's really no problem. We, the staff, are indeed able to carry more things...... We also have a parking space. ”
Jin Lili fell into deep thought, "Hmm...... Maybe I should stock up on some supplies too? ”
After a while, the car drove to an old neighborhood and arrived at its destination. Lu Yiming still lives in a single apartment for the past 1,550 months.
When saying goodbye, Jin Lili asked again, "Then why do you still live in this place?" Even if you want to make an investment, there is no need to be so picky, if you solve a C-3 level mission, there is a bonus, and there is also a placement fee for entering the research institute...... You shouldn't be short of money, right? ”
Lu Yiming replied with a smile: "I'm not like you, I was born to be Bai Fumei." I'm just an ordinary person, I will hesitate for a long time to buy the latest mobile phone, and high consumption will make me hate it! Feeling uncomfortable. ”
"I feel good to live here now, and I'm quite happy to live an ordinary life, so there's no need to change."
"Is that so? What a philosophy you say. ”
"Hahaha, you just found out."
Jin Lili smiled, in her opinion, isn't it a happy thing to buy some luxury goods, or things that you want very much?
However, if you think about it, it makes sense, many people find it difficult to control themselves in the face of sudden wealth, which often leads to tragedy in the end. There are also some examples of this in the research institute, where some superpowers are recruited and have a little power, and they immediately float away, and they often feel that they are superior.
This kind of person is actually very annoying, and his quality is extremely poor. The so-called superpower is only the size of a sesame mung bean, and I really think I am God.
"Playing games together at night?"
"We'll talk about it then!"
After saying goodbye to each other, Lu Yiming pushed open the door of the dormitory building, looking at the familiar stairs, he suddenly had a wonderful illusion like yesterday.
He wanted to go back to the comfortable and carefree days he used to have...... Peep into the fat gentleman's computer with superpowers and happily play with all kinds of little butter.
But alas, there is no going back.
"Trouble give way, let go of it." A female voice suddenly came from behind her, a girl struggling to lead a large bag of daily necessities, swaying to come in.
Lu Yiming flashed sideways and helped her push open the door.
"Thank you." The girl said.
Because this bachelor apartment has no elevator and you have to climb stairs to get up and down, the rent is slightly cheaper than other houses. Trying to carry a big bag of things is a bit difficult for a girl.
Lu Yiming just helped her push open the door, without the intention of helping the other party, in this era, rashly helping strangers will only cause misunderstanding to the other party.
However, after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, he said with a little uncertainty: "Bian Yuwei? ”
The girl's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, as if she remembered this former male colleague, and raised her eyebrows: "Lu Yiming? Do you live here too? ”
This girl is enrolled in the same school as him, but they are not in the same department, and they don't have much contact with each other.
She is very good-looking, which is equivalent to a dazzling star in the company. Many male colleagues are reserved on the surface, but in fact they have more or less a little idea, which can be regarded as human nature. Men like to be young and pretty, no matter how old they are.
Lu Yiming nodded and smiled, "I'll help you carry your things, when did you move here?" ”
"I just moved here this week...... You look like you've already quit your job, right? I quit my job last month, and I can't stay with the same company anymore! Bian Yuwei said.
"Why resigned? I remember you were quite valued by the leadership, right? Lu Yiming helped her carry this bag of things, it was really heavy, about thirty or forty pounds.
"Why...... Haha, the world is so big, I want to go to other places to see. ”
Speaking of this, Bian Yuwei's face was slightly red: "Actually, it's because that damn Zhang Yuan already has a wife, and it's like this, fortunately, I found out in advance......"
Lu Yiming's eyebrows furrowed, Zhang Yuan is a small leader of a certain department in the company.
Recalling the once popular gossip, he understood in his heart.
"I see, it's better to resign early."
Bian Yuwei glanced at him and said, "I see that you don't seem to be the same as before, and you don't recognize it at first glance." ”
"Really?"
Lu Yiming lowered his head and looked at his chest, probably because he had grown some muscles after a period of systematic exercise.
The two talked about the big and small stories that had happened in the company, most of them were complaining, how bad the original company was, and some leaders engaged in office politics all day long, with no development prospects. Because of the same experience, there is a common language when chatting.
"Actually...... Every business is like this, whether it is a large company or a small company, it is always able to find a whole bunch of shortcomings, and it always looks like a mess. ”
Lu Yiming sighed.
But in reality, it can be even more confusing if you let yourself manage.
The world is always moving forward in chaos, where does perfection come from?
