Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 82 Reality and Magic

"Do you think about what to do next?"

An elegant old man with attentive eyes handed the freshly brewed tea to Liao Yu, Liao Yu got up and took it and put it in front of him before he replied: "I am planning to rest due to physical reasons, and I may use the small store in the name of my parents to do some pan-entertainment business in the future, but I don't have a specific idea yet." ”

The elegant old man in front of Liao Yu is Professor Chen of the Department of History of the University, Professor Chen's original name is Chen Bin, and he is already over 65 years old, but with the help of modern medicine, his face and eyebrows are no different from that of a middle-aged man, and only the slightly loose skin revealed from the corners of his eyes and neck can glimpse his real age. Although the cooperation has only been less than two years, the two are very consistent with their views on people and things and history, and their personal relationship is very good, which is enough to be called a friendship in previous years.

Professor Chen is naturally aware of Liao Yu's predicament, but unfortunately he can't help much with his ability in terms of money or medicine, so he can only use his many years of connections to help Liao Yu move around in debt disputes, and do his best to report Liao Yu's subsidies to the school according to the highest standards. Of course, in terms of Liao Yu's help to him on weekdays, it can indeed be called conscientious.

"It's okay, the body is important. I can't help you with many things. If you have any problems, I can still be a qualified listener. In addition, if you are interested in any textbooks or materials from the school, I will help you find them and bring them to you."

With the development of science and technology to ensure the basic clothing, food, housing and transportation of the vast majority of the people, the development of the civilian field is more and more inclined to the pan-entertainment industry, and as a country, in addition to the medical care that Liao Yu has been paying attention to, the proportion of education and military in the country's financial expenditure is also increasing year by year. In such a situation, in most cases, the only way to find truly useful information is to bury your head in the vast databases of major universities and research institutes, and all kinds of external applications and search engines are almost all occupied by the so-called "truth" such as wild history and conspiracy theories.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

"In addition, I probably collected some information about some supernatural events that you asked me to help you find last time, and I will probably be able to sort it out for you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. But Liao Yu, why are you suddenly interested in these? ”

In Professor Chen's impression, although Liao Yu usually speaks little to the outside world and rarely participates in the discussions of the rest of the school's teaching assistants, when it comes to the topic of history and his own professional field, he has always hated those baseless conspiracy theories.

"The last video was too hurried, I didn't have time to say it, I have friends who want to write some fiction, and Uncle Chen, you also know that I like to write some things on weekdays, so I just look for some of these materials, maybe I can earn some manuscript fees."

Liao Yu smiled, and by the way, he raised the azure teacup and took a sip.

"I see."

Professor Chan was not skeptical, and from an inspiring point of view, these anecdotes were good fodder.

"Hey, why didn't I see Aunt Cheng today."

Liao Yu often comes to Professor Chen's house as a guest, and he still knows a lot about the daily life of their husband and wife, in the past, Aunt Cheng was mostly at home watching her historical dramas at this time, but when Liao Yu came to Professor Chen's house early today, Aunt Cheng seemed to have been out for a long time.

"She's going to pick up one of my nieces."

Liao Yu keenly saw a trace of helplessness in Uncle Chen's demeanor, he hesitated, and still asked. After all, he can't even sit idly by in the face of Deadpool Liao Yu, let alone a good personal friend.

Professor Chen didn't hide it from Liao Yu, sighed and began to tell about his niece.

His niece is a good girl who has been following the orders of her elders since she was a child, and her academic performance has always been among the best. Moreover, she herself is quite interested in all kinds of literature, so she has had a very good relationship with Professor Chen since she was a child.

However, to the surprise of the family, his niece chose to apply for a teaching certificate at the same time as she was about to graduate from university. However, what they expected even more happened, this independent girl chose not to work in a well-known university, but to go to an ordinary middle school on the ground to work as a teacher!

Although in the 22nd century, when medical care and education were highly valued, teachers were as high-status professions as doctors, but throughout the ages, any profession had to be divided into three, six, nine and so on, for example, in ancient times, when a small official, next to what grade of officials to be a small official, and in which of the six departments of the yamen to be a small official, this is all particular. As practitioners in the medical and education industries, Professor Chen and Liao Yu can be said to empathize with this.

"Her parents are actually kind, and they hope that their daughter can live a relaxed life in the future, for the sake of my relationship with her has always been very good, so I asked me to persuade her."

Speaking of this, Professor Chen also shook his head with a wry smile. He is a well-known professor in his professional field, but in today's era, everyone in the field of scientific research is concerned about artificial intelligence, materials science, underground development and interstellar voyages, and pays very little attention to the pure humanities field of history, and even his benefits are naturally far less than the professors of these majors, and the only thing that comforts the professors of these unpopular disciplines is the improvement of the basic authority value, and most of the professors are still at the same level.

His sister and his wife actually don't pay much attention to money, but once this matter falls on their daughter, they finally can't help but intervene, and they can only say that they pity the hearts of parents in the world.

"There are always some reasons, there will always be a source for everything, leaving behind so many good resources, but hoping to develop on the ground."

"That's where I'm troubled, she hopes to make some contributions to most people in society, the distribution of educational resources between the upper and lower levels is too unreasonable, and she hopes to make some changes on her own."

Hearing this, Liao Yu couldn't help but show the same wry smile as Professor Chen. Not only is there not some strange reason behind the choice of this girl who has never met, but it reveals a bit of nobility and firmness. It is also difficult to find any fault with the concern of the other party from a realistic point of view.

This is a collision and conflict between ideals and reality, and since ancient times, there has never been an absolutely perfect and correct answer to this question.

Professor Chen glanced at his phone, lifted his glasses and said, "They're almost there, you're not a few years older than her, maybe you can help say a few words then." ”

Faced with the rare request of Uncle Chen, who is also a teacher and friend, Liao Yu could only nod to show that he would do his best.

Ten minutes later, Liao Yu met this thoughtful girl. Looking at the young girl in front of her, Liao Yu was a little amazed at the delicacy of her appearance for a while, Sai Xue's skin was matched with small and cute facial features, and the Chen Siyu in front of her seemed to be a campus heroine who came out of a comic book.

"Hello, Brother Liao Yu."

"You don't have to call it that, just call Liao Yu directly, and your peers don't have to be so polite."

Liao Yu smiled and gently held Chen Siyu's hand, but he didn't expect the girl to blink mischievously and said, "Peer, but I remember Uncle Chen mentioned to me that you are commensurate with him." ”

Professor Chen laughed and said, "Okay, okay, don't be so big or small as soon as you meet, leave a good impression." You young people call each other, don't keep worrying about these red tapes, your uncle and I have studied these things every day. ”

Aunt Cheng behind Chen Siyu also touched her long hair with a smile, and said to Liao Yu: "This niece has been like this since she was a child, don't worry, I'll go get you something to eat." ”

"I'm not helping you brush up on your knowledge of ancient etiquette, uncle." Chen Siyu puffed out his mouth and followed Aunt Cheng into the house.

"Huh?"

Liao Yu suddenly showed a complicated expression on his face, as if he was suddenly attracted by the box that Chen Siyu had been carrying behind him, and even brought Professor Chen over.

"Siyu, what did you bring here?"

"She, I don't know where to go to play on the ground when I found the wild cat, seeing that others are pitiful, she brought it back directly, really, she hasn't taken care of it yet."

Aunt Cheng laughed as she walked towards the kitchen.

Chen Siyu immediately retorted: "What's the matter, this is not a wild cat, this is what I found in a friend's pet store, people said that this cat seems to be depressed, let me take it out to relax." Besides, when did I lose sight of myself. ”

After that, as if to confirm what he said, Chen Siyu lifted the box in the shape of this hut high, and Liao Yu and Professor Chen saw the gray shorthair cat with a dull coat and a low expression through the transparent glass in front of them.

"Siyu is quite caring, this box looks quite heavy, I'll help you carry it in."

Liao Yu said and lifted the cat house from the smiling Chen Siyu, and at the moment when he took the box, Liao Yu's spiritual power completely unfolded and probed towards the inside of the cat house, and finally confirmed that the source of his mental power discomfort before was in this cat house!

This was the first time Liao Yu had encountered such obvious traces of magic in his own world.
