Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Crisis of Happiness
In the rental room, Wu Ming stumbled forward two steps, his right hand on the table beside him, and his brain was drowsy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Twice, this kind of world-spanning teleportation, Wu Ming is still a little difficult to adapt.
Wu Ming, who stood quietly for a long time and felt that the sky was not spinning and the earth was not turning, exhaled heavily and poured himself a glass of boiled water.
Subconsciously, I glanced at the time.
April 2015, 4:20 p.m.
It is very consistent with the time of leaving, and the difference is less than a few minutes, as if the past ten years are just an illusion of Wu Ming.
No, not an illusion.
Feeling the greater magic on his body, looking in the mirror, he was obviously in his thirties. Wu Ming clearly knows that he has really spent ten years in the movie world.
Even in this kind of time, due to the difference between the two worlds, time is not directly synchronized.
But the power of the years still resides on his face, not still.
If you go out in your current state, as long as you get to the door of the elementary school campus, you will be a parent who has come to pick up your child.
"It's incredible, for people in this world, my theoretical age is twenty-five. But for the real me, in fact, I have long passed the age of standing, a proper middle-aged uncle! "Looking at myself in the mirror, I have complicated emotions in my heart.
It is said that there is no nail in the mountain, and it has been a thousand years in the blink of an eye.
Wu Ming couldn't help but think about a question, if this kind of thing happened a few more times, wouldn't he be gray-haired.
"You can't wait, no matter what happens in the next world, you have to look for something to increase your lifespan, or a treasure that will block your own years. Otherwise, according to my own time calculations, when I reach the demigod period and comprehend the elemental body, I will have to have seventy-four if not eighty-three, and I can go to the bottom of the overpass to set up a stall to tell the hexagram. ā
Wu Ming was amused, and while thinking like this, he smiled at himself in the mirror.
... Jingle bells...
The smile was not yet contained, it was placed on the table, and the phone that was not brought to the movie world let out a roar.
Wu Ming frowned subconsciously, then picked up his mobile phone and found that the caller was still an acquaintance.
Li Le, in elementary school and junior high school, was in the same school and class as Wu Ming. Later, because of the difference in high school, the two went their separate ways, and they have been in touch all these years, and occasionally they can drink wine or something.
Seeing that it was an old classmate calling, Wu Ming no longer hesitated, and directly pressed the answer button: "Hey, Li Le, why did you remember to call me!" ā
"Of course there are good things, do you remember Zhang Ting and Wang Kai?"
"Well, that's a bit impressive..."
Wu Ming racked his brains, and his impression of these two names was still very vague. I just vaguely remember that the other party's grades were very good, and I could occasionally hear a few words.
"I have an impression, in our middle school class, there are a lot of people who go out from all over the world, and now there are only seven or eight people who have contact. This time, Zhang Ting and Wang Kai are back, everyone is talking about getting together, do you have time the day after tomorrow? ā
"The day after tomorrow, okay, I'm okay here."
Wu Ming thought about it and agreed, classmates in middle school were generally from the same place. Although the friendship of the year is still difficult to beat the passage of time, it is still very happy in retrospect.
Therefore, this kind of gathering is also more pure.
Everyone knows the roots, there is no mess, sitting together is drinking and reminiscing about the youth of the year.
"The afternoon after tomorrow, I will gather in the guest building, and I will go to inform the others."
After finishing speaking, Li Le on the other end of the phone hurriedly hung up the phone.
Wu Ming put down his phone and thought about Wang Kai and Zhang Ting again, but he still couldn't recall more things.
You must know that for Li Le and the others, the memory of junior high school is already ten years ago. For Wu Ming, it is even more ten years to add ten years, a full twenty years of wind and rain. It is in recent years that I can occasionally hear some news, so that the memory has not completely dissipated. Otherwise, when I heard the names of Zhang Ting and the others, let alone have some impressions, I am afraid that I don't even know who the other party is.
Shaking his head and putting these trivial matters behind, Wu Ming approached the bedroom and lifted out the cage containing the Smurfs.
"Bad guys, where are you going to take us, let us go quickly."
"You demon, why aren't you dead yet, hurry up and die!"
In the iron cage, the two smurfs were still cursing, and they spoke viciously to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming didn't care about these curses, but looked at the little guy in the cage happily, and took out bananas and apples to feed the two Smurfs.
Looking at the two Smurfs, staring at themselves angrily, they ate the food they gave out.
Wu Ming smiled slightly, started the machine that extracted the essence of happiness, and began the wool cutting operation.
Last time, in the magician's apprentice world, the bottle of happiness essence prepared by Wu Ming had already been left in ten years.
Now, even if Wu Ming is only a little bit closer, he is already at the level of a great magician, but the actual value of the happiness essence has not decreased at all, but has increased a lot.
After all, the core of a magician is his own magic. A magician without magic is like a turret that has lost its cannonballs, and has no value at all. From this point of view, the essence of happiness that can replace one's own magic power and cast spells is a priceless treasure in itself. If one day, Wu Ming encounters a fierce battle and consumes all his magic power, this is the hole card of the Jedi counterattack.
No matter how many hole cards there are, no one will feel that there are few, let alone life-saving things.
One, two, three......
The essence of happiness is extracted and bottled.
Wu Ming watched this scene with joy on his face, and the smile on his face disappeared until the alchemy machine could no longer extract the essence of happiness.
"What's the matter, the extracted happiness essence is less than ten drops, why can't it be extracted!"
Wu Ming frowned and began to inspect the alchemy machine.
In the end, the machine was running normally, but there was no happy essence flowing out, and everything seemed so weird.
Puzzled, Wu Ming had no choice but to set his eyes on the two Smurfs.
At the sight, the two Smurfs looked pained, and their eyes were full of despair, as if they had lost hope of survival.
"It's not the machine's problem, it seems that the reason why the essence of happiness can't be extracted should be due to the Smurfs. Strange, what the hell is going on, is it because the Smurfs are unhappy, so there is no happy essence? ā
Wu Ming is like a professor, thinking about the problem that happened to the Smurfs.
The name Essence of Happiness, from Gargamel's mouth, is highlighted in Gargamel's notes.
Gargamel once had the idea that the essence of happiness came from the happiness of the Smurfs. If a Smurf can no longer feel happy emotions, then there will be no happy essence.
"There is no essence of happiness! No, it's absolutely not going to work. ā
Wu Ming stopped the machine casually, the essence of happiness was very important to him, and he must not give it up at present.
So, the top priority is to find a way to get these Smurfs to get up quickly.
