Chapter 2: Encounters (2)
Rubbing his sore waist, Lin walked out of the door of an apartment building.
"Ahem, I really caught a strong laborer and called him to death!" Lin Sha thought: "Wash clothes, mop the floor, and take out the garbage, even if you still command me to move wardrobes and electrical appliances, and say that you ...... clean thoroughly"
Cursing the lazy hired man for mold in the garbage heap, Lin walked briskly and soon arrived in front of an office building.
The billboard of the office building reads: Jumei Housekeeping Service Center.
Lin Da strode into the center, and the young lady at the front desk was immediately happy when she saw the tall Lin.
"Lin Asher, how is it today, did you get an A evaluation?" The front desk lady said with a smile: "Today's indicators are still two A-level evaluations, so I hope you can save your life." β
Lin said in a muffled voice: "One A-, one A." β
"Hee-hee, that's good!" The front desk lady took the service card handed by Lin and swiped it on the memory: "However, it's rare that you actually get A-? β
Lin snorted: "I have long said that the underwear is never washed, and the terms of housekeeping service are clearly stipulated! I don't understand why there are so many lazy insects, and the housekeeping staff has to wash their underwear!" Lin scolded a swear word.
The front desk lady glanced at Lin sympathetically: "Ah, well, this is your honorarium, 18 Singapore dollars." β
Lin took the banknote and said in a sullen voice, "Is there any housekeeping commission for me tomorrow?"
The front desk lady smiled and said, "Of course there is, you are the service star of Jumei Center, and my satisfaction evaluation depends on you." As she spoke, she handed over two new service cards.
Lin took the service card, shook his head, and turned to walk out of the center building.
"Jumei Center takes a 10% honorarium, which is good. Lin said to himself: "Although it is still very unhappy, it can only be like this......
The 18 Singapore dollar honorarium Lin had already planned. 10 yuan to buy painkillers for Grandma Ashero, and the remaining 8 yuan to buy rice and vegetables, and by the way, bring two scones back and give one to Xiaohu.
Passing by the pharmacy, Lin bought painkillers and walked to the library with the rest of the money.
Municipal Library.
The library is in disrepair, and it has a drowsy atmosphere.
The librarian is a middle-aged man who is a little rich, and now there are few people visiting the library and more people visiting the playground. The librarian was happy to be idle, wearing 4D simulation glasses to visit Skynet.
I was having fun playing on the psychic simulation battle platform, and a message suddenly popped up in the administrator's personal mailbox: I'm sorry, you will exit Skynet in three seconds. Reason for exiting: Personal work settings. Countdown: 3...... 2...... 1......
"Holy. The administrator cursed and took off his glasses.
Lin stood next to the workbench and raised his hand to say hello: "Hello uncle." β
"Boy, it's you again......" The administrator muttered without resentment: "These days, you can't go to Skynet to see what materials, you have to come to the library......"
Lin heard the administrator's complaints, pursed his lips, and did not speak.
A flying hovercar flashed down the overpass.
Sitting in the driver's seat was Yang Meinu, who skillfully drove as she said in a broken voice: "I absolutely, definitely have a head pump, so I will suggest that you go to the library to avoid the disaster! Mu Yu, Miss Mu Yu! When will you understand the difference between excuses and truths?"
In the co-pilot position, Miss Su Muyu smiled: "Do a full set of plays, since you said that you want to go to the municipal library to check the materials, you have to go shopping." β
Yang Meinu snorted angrily, and her round breasts fell together with her breathing, and she had a tendency to tear her clothes out: "It's a good saying, what information can't you check on Skynet now?
Su Muyu said pitifully: "However, I am allergic to electronic data......
"You don't come!" Yang Nu snorted angrily and stepped on the power valve to the end.
"Hum", the speed of the hovering car suddenly accelerated, a smoke crossed, and the car on the highway was gone, only a faint complaint disappeared with the wind: "I...... Bet...... Library...... No one...... Not a single one!"
"Thank you, Uncle Administrator," Lin said, "What about Pavilion Master Ouyang, why don't you see him?"
The administrator waved his hand impatiently: "How do I know, maybe I'm going to drink again!"
"It's not a virtue to speak ill of people behind your back," an old voice came from between the bookshelves deep in the library, "Actually, I've been here all day, Alger. β
Lin Huan said, "Curator Ouyang, it turns out that you are here." β
Librarian Alger stammered: "Librarian, curator, I, I ......"
The old voice had a hint of amusement: "What's the matter, Mr. Alger Johnson? β
Alger stammered, "Director Ou, Ouyang, I hope you can forgive me...... I swear by Alger's name never again!"
Curator Ouyang coughed and said, "Of course I can forgive you. After a pause, he continued: "How beautiful the weather is today, if you can taste the taste of Fenmei wine while reading...... Tsk, it's a great joy in life!"
"Fenmeijiu, I'll buy it for you right away!" Alger grabbed at the straw.
"Then, in the meantime, please ask Lin Ashero to take your place for the time being. Director Ouyang suggested responsibly.
"Yes, yes, little brother, do me a favor!" Alger suddenly thought that it was also a violation to leave his post without permission, so he had to ask Lin for help.
"Give me a reason to do it. Lin scratched his short hair, smiled innocently, and a pair of knife-like eyebrows "snapped" together.
"Well, I'll give you two dollars for your hard work!" Alger gritted his teeth.
Lin smiled: "The money is free, Mr. Johnson, can you help me get a borrowing certificate?"
Alger Johnson frowned: "However, you are a Class C ID card, and you need a Class B ID card or above to apply for a library certificate, otherwise you will not be able to enter the data......"
Alger was about to continue, when suddenly a voice came from between the bookshelves: "Where's my fenmei, Mr. Johnson?!"
"Ahem, honorable curator, I'll go right away!" Alger was ruthless and said, "Forget it! you can help me see it for a while, and I'll go back and use my ID to get one for you! Damn, this is a blatant violation!"
Lin narrowed his eyes, smiled, hooked his two little fingers with each other, and made a gesture of "one word is a certainty".
Seeing Alger take three steps and run out of the door with two steps, the corners of Lin's mouth hooked and smiled.
"Director Ouyang, it's been a long time!" Lin greeted warmly.
"I'm very old, but my memory hasn't deteriorated yet," in the depths of the bookshelf, Director Ouyang, who was wearing a white coat and a pair of pedantic reading glasses, said casually while carefully reading the book catalog: "You only came yesterday, right? It won't take more than eighteen hours since we last met." β
"Old man. Lin muttered, and then honestly ran to the psychic book area, skillfully pulled out a book, squatted on the ground and read it.
"Still reading "Psychic Profession Overview"?" The curator closed his eyes and knew which book Lin was reading.
"That's right, the current trend is the Great Summoning Stream, and almost all psychics are desperately trying to strengthen the charm caste, relying on summoned life spirits to decide the winner. But Professor Abner PΓ©tain offers a new perspective. I'm just trying to find out what this idea can do. β
Director Ouyang sneered: "I'm not old, but my heart is not low......
"Oh old man, don't bother me," Lin began to read: "Maybe, I can create a new theory, and when the countless new dollars roll in, I will have the money to buy Somnambula!"
Curator Ouyang shook his head and said, "Stinky boy, don't dream in vain yet...... It's rare that my old man is interested, you tell me about the new theory proposed by Abner, and we will refer to it in detail. β
"It's such a stinky fart every time. Lin first despised Director Ouyang, then closed the book and prepared to start an "academic discussion" with Director Ouyang.
"Boy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to learn, you first talk about the mainstream view of the current psychic war. "Curator Ouyang asked.
"The Great Summoning Stream, using the engraved stronger spirit as a means, using the spirit as the winner or loser of the war, the psychic master checks and fills in the gaps, and assists the spirit in the battle. β
"What is Abner's new perspective?"
"Professor Petain's new idea is to take the psychic as the core of the war, give up the charm caste, and make every effort to strengthen the strength, agility, physique and other measurements to occupy the main output position. Summoned spirits are only responsible for providing control and support. Lin paused, and then complained: "Abner on the left, Abner on the right, Professor Petain and you know each other very well?"
"Oh...... That guy Abner, this time he was not dazzled, and the ideas he put forward were novel and bold, and they were worth studying. "Elder Ouyang is here, as if he didn't hear Lin's taunt.
With a "buzz", the hovercar stopped in front of the city library.
"It's really an old-fashioned building," Yang Meinu was the first to jump out of the car, commenting on the library building in front of her with a critical eye: "It seems that it was correct to place public facilities such as libraries in Area B when it was originally zoned." Who's going to come to the library in Area A to look things up? Except for some guys with bad brains!"
Su Muyu pretended not to hear the complaint of the bad friend, and pulled the corner of Yang Beauty's clothes: "Let's go, go in." β
"Hey, why don't you have a librarian?" Yang Meinu said in surprise.
"Yes, then how can we borrow books......" Su Muyu was a little embarrassed.
"Whatever," Yang Meinu has always been a surname that is not afraid of heaven and earth: "Let's go and flip through it first, and the librarian may come back in a while." β
The two had barely taken two steps when they heard a heated discussion in the depths of the bookshelf.
"No, what you said is completely untrue, the scarcity of auxiliary life spirits determines that this kind of life spirit is extremely difficult to get. Even if you get a support spirit, whether it has control or support skills is still between the two. Therefore, Professor Petain's new idea is difficult to implement. A teenager's voice protested.
"Is there a shortage of auxiliary spirits?, I suggest you first take a look at the Divine Kingdom North Sea Monster Guide, page 736. Another old voice, with a hint of banter.
There was a sound of flipping books, and then the boy spoke.
"Old fellow, you're talking about benthic devilfish?"
"Ahh β
β...... Not to mention the difficulty of capturing a super-large life spirit like a benthic demon fish, even if it does, what control ability does it have? Does it rely on the 'slime cloud' skill on the surface of the body? Please, this mucous membrane is only one foot thick, and it needs to be close to the body to activate! Who would be stupid enough to let this big guy get close? Besides, if it is already close, it can just swallow the enemy in one bite. β
"Stinky boy, read carefully! Some of the elite individuals of the benthic devilfish have the ability to enslave after the intelligence is turned on! If you go further and become a benthic devilfish wizard, you will also evolve hypnotic and illusion abilities. β
"Is that old guy, do you know that the proportion of individuals who open the intelligence of benthic devilfish is less than 10%, and those who can reach the level of benthic devilfish wizards are even more out of a hundred? The psychic master has taken a lot of effort to capture a benthic devilfish, and more than 90% of them may have done useless work, and the effort and return are completely disproportionate. β
......
The two girls stopped and looked at each other.
"Mu Yu...... What are we debating?"
β...... Professor Abner PΓ©tain's new view on whether the core tactics of psychics are feasible. β
