10. Transparent people's troubles
Wanjie Food City, Crab Castle King.
Lu Ziming sat in a corner of the restaurant and quietly nibbled on the hamburger in his hand. Although Mr. Krabs is terrible, the crab roe castle in his store is really good, otherwise he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the Central Tower.
Kohei Soma has something to do in the original world today, and Kuroko also has an important game to play, and he is the only one in the Central Tower. Although he can cook himself, after getting used to eating the food made by Kohei Soma, he has no appetite for eating his own food at all. As a last resort, he had to run to the Crab Castle King next door to settle breakfast.
"Ha Ya Ya (Xiao Sa), I'm done eating, collect the money." Lu Ziming hiccuped and waved his hand to find Ayasaki on the side.
"Okay, a luxury crab roe burger, two glasses of deep-sea coke, a total of two value points." Ayasaki smiled.
"Alas~ I'm getting more and more extravagant, and I actually ate two points in one meal." Lu Ziming sighed. He pulls out a card with the number 122 on it, representing his remaining value points. This is a stored value card issued by the Pivot Tower, which is specially used to store value points. It's all about spending in the Nexus. When the consumption reaches a certain amount, the prepaid card will be automatically upgraded to a membership card, with various privileges. Of course, Lu Ziming's card is far from being upgraded.
Lu Ziming clicked a few times on the stored value card, and the number on the card changed from 122 to 120, which made him feel congested for a while.
Ayasaki nodded to Lu Ziming, and then began to clean up the table.
"Aren't Sojin and Kuroko here today?" Ayasaki Sa was packing up his things while chatting with Lu Ziming.
"Yes, they don't care about the original world like us." Lu Ziming said with some bitterness. His parents died early, and because of his somewhat withdrawn personality, he didn't have any friends to talk to in the original world. Ayasaki Sa is because he has a pair of scumbag parents, so busy that he hardly has time to communicate with other people.
However, Ayasaki Sa is still a little better than Lu Ziming. Lu Ziming has seen the whirlwind housekeeper and knows that Ayazaki Sa still has a brother and sister and a girl who has a crush on him in the original world. Although his parents are very scummy, his brothers and sisters are very good, and the girl who has a crush on him is also quite cute. Thinking of this, Lu Ziming looked at Ayasaki with a hint of envy. However, Ayasaki Sa happened to have his back to him, so he didn't see it.
That's not right! Lu Ziming suddenly thought of a question. According to Ayasaki, he entered the Central Tower on Christmas Eve, when he was being chased by the gang. Isn't that when the Whirlwind Butler plot just began? In other words, Ayazaki Sa didn't meet his eldest lady at all, and the plot of the whirlwind butler ended before it began.
Now Ayasaki Sa stays in the Central Tower every day, and from time to time he goes to other worlds to make waves, and he doesn't want to go back to the original world at all. Where did he get the time to recognize his brother and sister, and where did he get the time to develop with the girl who had a crush on him?
Thinking of this, Lu Ziming's expression became a little strange. Looks like I'm going to have to find a way to remind him. A friend, you can't just watch him and his relatives miss it.
Lu Ziming thought carefully for a while, but he didn't think of any good way. In desperation, he could only put this matter aside for the first time. Anyway, there's no rush in this matter, so let's figure out a way when I go to that world to play in the future.
After leaving the Crab Castle King, Lu Ziming found a teleportation array and teleported to the task receiving place of the Central Tower. There are a number of quests that spawn every day at the Nexus Tower's quest pick-up area, some of which are posted by Nex Tower's customers for Value Points. Some of them were formed by the Pivot Towers themselves to capture the minds of the creatures of the Ten Thousand Worlds. You can get paid for completing these tasks.
There are many light screens suspended in mid-air at the point of the mission. These light screens are used to pick up the mission. Most of the light screens were empty of people, making the entire task pick-up look a little deserted. However, Lu Ziming knew that this was actually an illusion.
Since the Hub Tower built a hub network that can connect the heavens and all worlds, most people have been directly receiving quests online. Usually only poor people like him who can't afford to pay for the Internet come here. Moreover, the area of the task pick-up area is very large, and there are actually quite a few people here if you count it seriously.
Lu Ziming came to a light screen and was about to check if there was a task suitable for him. Suddenly, he felt as if he had hit something.
"Huh?" Lu Ziming looked around suspiciously, there was nothing?
"Hey, boy, you hit someone and don't know how to say sorry?" An inaudible voice of a man or a woman came from his left.
Lu Ziming hurriedly turned his head, but he still didn't see anything.
Didn't you meet a ghost? Lu Ziming thought with some doubts. The customers of the Central Tower are strange, and it is common for demons and monsters to be. But if it's a tangible and insubstantial ghost, how can you bump into him? I should have walked through it.
"I'm not a ghost." The owner of the voice saw Lu Ziming's puzzled look, probably guessed what he was thinking, and said loudly.
"I'm a transparent person."
"Transparent people? No wonder. Lu Ziming showed a clear look, the other party was completely transparent, and it was naturally impossible for him to see it.
"This transparent man ...... Excellency. Lu Ziming opened his mouth to argue with the transparent person, but found that he didn't know whether the other party was a man or a woman.
"It's not right for me to bump into you by accident. But you know you're transparent, so why don't you put something on your body so that others can easily spot you? After finishing speaking, Lu Ziming silently gave himself a thumbs up. I am really witty, and I thought of the almighty title of Your Excellency, otherwise it would be embarrassing to call the wrong gender.
"You think I don't want to." The transparent man said politely, "We transparent people were actually human beings before, and it was because we were cursed that we became what we are now. Even if you splash paint on your body, it will quickly become transparent. Clothes and cloaks and the like are useless at all. ”
The transparent man's tone was a little helpless, and although the curse made them transparent, it didn't change their vision. So they can't see themselves, and they don't know what they look like when they're so big. And because they can't see each other, they're all about to be wiped out by now. In order to lift this curse, he is currently working very hard to accumulate value points.
"I see, and such a strange curse." Lu Ziming was a little speechless. Although it is indeed scary to be permanently transparent, I don't know that he just has an urge to laugh.
"Anyway, goodbye, I'll go to the light screen next to me." Lu Ziming said to the transparent man. He wasn't interested in talking to someone he couldn't see.
"Oops!" Lu Ziming fell to the ground.
Transparent Man: "You stepped on my foot."
