Chapter 7 New Semester and New Atmosphere 02
How otaku is made (II)
"When I went to primary school, I realized that nothing in the world remains the same. 」
Happy hour will end sooner or later, classmates and friends will be separated sooner or later, and good things will go bad sooner or later.
"I'm just an ordinary person with weak willpower and fragile body, and science has shown that men mature later most of the time. So, instead of knowing the outcome and not being able to do anything about it, I should not have more contact with others in the first place. As long as you don't know it, as long as you haven't seen it, you won't be in pain when facing its end. So you can understand that people like me can only be orphans. 」
"I won't understand. ”
Leach didn't agree with the idea of a happy meeting from the bottom of his heart. Growing up, he was disliked by both his parents, and it was his desire to get the half-elf to gain the approval of both parents that kept him alive to this day. As long as he has ideals, he will not be knocked down by reality, and he will always have the motivation to move forward. And the practice of directly bowing to reality touched the bottom line of his endurance.
"My dream is to be an ordinary person, as I told you before. 」
"You're not an ordinary person at all! It's ordinary to bow your head to reality? After experiencing one or two blows, you feel that reality is full of tragedies? A person who runs away when he encounters difficulties is not as good as those civilians who are in danger, at least they know how to work hard to make their family's life better!"
Even the commoners of very low social status did not give up hope, and even the half-elves who were not waiting to be seen did not give up their dreams.
"Even me, a half-blood mongrel, didn't go with the flow, why did you, a pure-blooded human with great abilities, give up!"
"You're so excited, calm down. 」
Just as Leach was even more annoyed and happy to meet and obviously didn't listen to him, and was about to try harder to persuade him, the door of the dormitory was pushed open.
"Su ...... Su ......"
"Sumesmart, you've come just in time. 」
"Mortal, it's time for the next issue of the book, it makes no sense not to take advantage of this opportunity to open the market. Yo, naked running man, you're there too. ”
"Who's the naked man!"
When he found out that the book they co-produced had a lot of prospects after being sold through the channel of traveling scholars, he decided to pay more attention to this matter, so he ran over to urge the manuscript before the first book came out a month.
"I've got the outline and part of the draft for the next issue ready, let's go, I'll write it to you. 」
When the joy was gone, Leach calmed down a bit.
"Well, offending the house cat again, he won't be rectified again, right? But if you think about it, he's only a 15-year-old kid, and he's not even an adult either in Gorantia or on Earth. ”
In the process of getting along with Xi Xiang, probably because Xi Xiang is too reliable, Leach always thinks of him as an adult, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Actually, I'm a young man among half-elves, and I'm not mature enough in many ways. Wait for him to come back and apologize, and then calmly try it with him. ”
And in the apartment where Sumesmart lives, the happy and idle-doden wander through it.
"I didn't expect you to quarrel with that kind of thing, I thought you were a similar type to me. ”
"I'm not the kind of person who treats my own kind as ants, and even more so being yelled at unilaterally is not a quarrel. But as far as otaku is concerned, you and I have a common language. 」
Because dragons grow stronger as they get older, gain arcane spell casting abilities, and gain all sorts of special abilities, this race basically sleeps at home all day long. Somesmart is one of the rare breeds that come out to school...... But he's still very homely, and the dragon is simply a dead house.
"That's not called a house, it's called leisurely. ”
"Anyway, you're really going to enjoy it, this house is so full of all kinds of things...... The study, kitchen, garden, rooftop, and maid give people a feeling that they will not be bored without going out of the house for more than ten days, and it is terrible to be able to do this in this era without the Internet. 」
Coming from the technologically advanced earth, Happy Encounter has not adapted to the days without TV, mobile phones and the Internet until now.
Someone did such an experiment a few years ago. Volunteer volunteers can live in a room where there will never be an Internet presence, where there is food, drink, books, entertainment props, and everything else you need.
As a result, not many people even survive 72 hours.
On the premise of worry-free food and clothing, people will have spiritual needs, and once they have the Internet, it is difficult to lose it. The internet is gradually moving in the direction of necessities.
Until now, the happy meeting has not been able to completely get rid of the dependence on the Internet and technology, which is one of the reasons why he promotes science.
"How did you get this kind of dormitory, I think those people from the big forces basically live in this kind of house, but we can only choose to share the dormitory with four people or double people. 」
And most importantly, this apartment-like house comes with its own kitchen!
Traveling novels generally don't talk about problems such as mobile phones, the Internet, technology dependence, water and soil adaptation, and eating habits.
It's like the people in the anime never have to go to the toilet, the weapons never wear out and rust, and the clothes never explode after transformation.
This is because these problems are generally unsolvable, so it's good to ignore them and draw everyone's attention to the gorgeous special effects.
But for happy encounters, this kind of problems in daily life are unavoidable, after all, real life is not a small talk.
In the fantastical Middle Ages like Corantia, the main problem was that the eating habits were different from those of the locals, in addition to the inconvenience of life.
What I like to eat is rice, stir-fried vegetables, stewed meat, and soup, while the canteen sells bread, bread, bread, bread, and bread, of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but the Western food in the Middle Ages is really not as good as that of China. And as a Chinese person, Xixiangyu couldn't stand this monotonous diet at all, and he was tired of eating it for a long time.
So, in order not to go out to forage for food every day, you have to take down this kind of dormitory with a kitchen!
"Thank you, if you are a mortal, you will have to pay 40 gold coins per month for accommodation, and you must have a background. And a great race like me doesn't need to pay for accommodation, not even tuition. 10 gold coins a question, when will you pay?"
"I'm sure you won't pay for tuition and accommodation even if you ask for it. But this kind of dormitory is very expensive, the key is that there is no place to rent if I have money, it seems that I have to find a way to make a name...... Sumesmart, why don't you hurry up and copy the book?"
