Chinatown, New York.

Hua Twelve was awakened by the noise coming from next door, and got out of the soft big bed, and began to receive memories from the system while waking up.

McHua, a Chinese-American, freelance writer in New York, makes a living by writing some film reviews and short stories, but it seems that he has not had an income for more than half a year, and most of his previous income relied on complaining about smearing released movies.

A month ago, McWaal lost all of his parents' inheritance because of stock speculation, sold his house in a wealthy New York neighborhood, and moved to a cheap apartment in Chinatown.

The landlords of the apartment are a Chinese couple who are both second-generation immigrants, the husband is Steven who runs two restaurants in Chinatown, and his wife is Valerie, who is studying for a doctorate in law school.

Both of them are enthusiastic people, after McHua moved in, he locked himself in his room for a month and did not go out, and the couple came to see him twice, showing that they cared about him very much.

Hua Twelve smiled, he didn't expect that he had just had the idea of writing in the real world, and the system arranged for him to be the identity of this street fighter, and the landlord couple was also interesting, in McHua's opinion, it was from the concern of his compatriots, but in his opinion, it was obvious that the two of them were worried that he would die in the house.

The wife of the landlord couple looked at him with little stars in her eyes, well, it was obvious that she was interested in seeing the color, because this McHua's appearance was the appearance of Hua Twelve, well, this thing is so confused and confident in his own appearance.

Recalling the identity of the system arrangement, Hua Twelve thought of this system mission as a little strange, first, to obtain the NZT-48 formula, and second, to save New York.

The first one is easy to understand, Hua Twelve knows that NZT-48 is a drug in the movie 'Never-ending', which can greatly improve the efficiency of the brain, of course, the movie is more exaggerated, saying that humans can only use 20% of the brain normally, and after taking NZT-48, the brain can be fully utilized.

Hua Twelve can be sure that this is bragging, this is NZT-48, not cph4, and it is not a god to use the brain completely.

He believed there would be an increase, but it wouldn't be 100 percent.

Hua Twelve is very interested in this NZT-48, if he gets this thing, then the martial arts or something, it is simply equivalent to hanging, so he likes this task.

But what the hell is the second mission to save New York? Could it be that there will be any natural and man-made disasters in the plot of 'Never-ending'?

Hua Twelve felt that if the system issued him the task of 'destroying New York', then he would be more willing to accept it.

Okay, he, a Chinese, crossed the plane through the system, and came to New York in this world thousands of miles away, just to save New York, what kind of spirit is this? Isn't that the spirit of SB!

But the system arranged it for him, so let's watch it while walking.

Knock, knock, knock

There was a knock on the wall next door again, and he was woken up by this sound just now, and it didn't stop for a long time.

Although Hua Twelve crossed over and said that he had wronged the other party for waking up, but now that the neighbor had provoked him, he immediately got up and walked out of his apartment, and knocked on the door of the neighbor. ….

In the middle of the night, the door opened, and a somewhat sloppy white young man with a hint of vigilance on his face asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Hua Twelve covered his nose: ", are you pulling the room here, why is it so smelly?" ”

The white young man was a little embarrassed, and then showed a hint of displeasure: "It's none of your business!" "The door is about to close.

Boom!

Hua Twelve held the door with his hand, no matter how hard the white young man pushed, he couldn't close the door, and the white man seemed to be aware of the difference in strength between the two, and said with some nervousness: "Listen, I don't know you, if you dare to trouble me, I'm going to call the police!" ”

Hua Twelve frowned: "Hey, I'm not going to do anything to you, I just live next door, and it's the noise you made that disturbed me, understand?" ”

The white man suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment: "Oh, sorry, I'm just rushing the manuscript."

Hua Twelve laughed angrily: "Hey, did you use a sledgehammer to rush the manuscript?" Eighty, eighty? ”

The white man obviously didn't understand the stalk of eighty, but he could understand the first half of the ridicule, and quickly explained:

"Okay man, you know, a lot of people are thinking, and they subconsciously want to do something in their hands, just like turning a pen, and I just did, um, practice shooting with a basketball on the wall."

Hua Twelve nodded: "I can understand you, but I can't accept it, I hope you won't be like this next time, OK?" ”

“OK！”

The white man nodded, then apologized again.

Hua Twelve saw that his attitude was okay, so he wanted to turn around and go back, but was stopped by the man behind his back: "Hey man, I heard Valerie mention you, and she said that you also wrote it?" ”

Valerie is the wife of the aforementioned landlord couple.

Hua Twelve nodded: "Yes, hard coding!" After he finished speaking, he thought that the other party said to rush the manuscript, and asked rhetorically: "By the way, I heard that you are rushing the manuscript just now, and you also wrote it?" ”

The man nodded: "I signed a book contract two months ago!" ”

"Oh, that's very good, I didn't expect that we are not only neighbors, but also peers, by the way, my name is Mike Hua, you can call me Mike!"

Hua Twelve stretched out his hand with some envy, but he knew the pain of code words, he worked hard to code out three chapters, and the comments were all sprayed on him.

The man also reached out and shook his hand: "Eddie Molay, you can just call me Add!" ”

"Eddie Molay?"

Hua Twelve instantly remembered, isn't this the male protagonist in 'Endless', I didn't recognize it just now, but I don't blame him, but I didn't expect the other party to be even more sloppy than in the movie.

"Eddie, we Orientals pay attention to fate, we are both neighbors and peers, it can be seen that there is a lot of fate, how about going downstairs to have a drink together, I have a treat!"

Hearing that the other party was a plot character, Hua Twelve immediately began to get closer, remembering that the drug dealer selling NZT-48 in the plot was the former brother-in-law of the person in front of him.

Eddie Molay's eyes lit up: "Of course, this sounds great, it just so happens that I also need to change the environment to empty my brain, maybe a drink is a good idea, let's go!" ”

The two locked their own doors and went downstairs to the bar next street, and after entering, they both ordered a glass of cold whiskey, and the wine became more talkative. ….

Hua Twelve asked with a smile; "By the way, Eddie, can you tell me about yours, what are you talking about, what type?"

Speaking of his own, Eddie's eyebrows suddenly danced:

"I'm writing about science fiction, but I'm thinking more deeply, and I want to express that it's not easy for people to live in the 21st century, and I conceive a utopian society, and in that society, we"

Eddie, who was still in the mood before, suddenly got stuck when he said this, and then kept repeating: "We., we, well, very."

It is clear that he only has a beginning, and the rest has not been conceived.

Changing the subject a little stiffly, he asked rhetorically, "So Mike, can you tell me about yours?" ”

Hua Twelve subconsciously said: "I wrote the story of a man who disappeared for ten minutes, and then let 100,000 maggots worship."

"Maggots? Is it the maggot I understand? Eddie asked with a grin, an exaggerated expression.

Hua Twelve slapped his head, and then he reacted, he didn't say that the system arranged for him to write the waste products with this identity, but said the one who uploaded his real world to the Internet.

"Okay, it should be that, in fact, my book is mainly professional, well, the kind of insect research, you know!" He tried to explain.

"Are maggots insects?" Add asked curiously.

Hua Twelve shrugged his shoulders: "It's because I don't know, that's why I want to study!" ”

Eddie laughed, he now understood that the person across from him was also a street writer.

With the relationship of masonry, by the time they came out of the bar, the two looked like they had been friends for many years.

Returning to the apartment, as soon as I walked to the second floor, I met the landlord and his wife, and the landlady Valerie saw Hua XII and immediately smiled: "Hey, Mike, it's great that you can get out of the room." ”

The landlady Steven also nodded: "Yes, young people should go out and move more, and don't always be bored in the room." He was actually afraid that this person would die in his own house, and his house would not be able to be rented out at that time.

Hua Twelve glanced at Steven, and said in his heart Did you see your wife looking at me, so you will eat me quickly, you have a really big heart.

Laughed and coped with two sentences.

The landlord and his wife turned their attention to Eddie again: "Eddie, it's time for you to pay this month's rent, we've been giving you grace for many days!" ”

Eddie hurriedly explained, "You know, as long as I hand in the manuscript next Friday, I will have the money to pay the rent."

Valerie didn't have a good face for Eddie: "Add, Steven will believe your nonsense, isn't our rent here cheap enough?" You're just going to deliver newspapers on your bike now, and you can pay the rent, so don't mention your bullshit manuscript fees, okay? Can't you be realistic? ”

Eddie was sprayed speechless, especially in front of Hua Twelve's new friend, he felt very embarrassed.

Hua Twelve took out three hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it over: "Valerie, this is Eddie's rent this month, I'll help him pay it first!" ”

"Mike, you have to think clearly, he may not have the ability to pay you back!" Valerie kindly reminded.

Hua Twelve smiled and said: "It's okay, both of us are writing, I can't look at a neighbor and a peer, really give up my dream for this money, go and deliver the newspaper, without a dream, what's the difference between living and salted fish?" You say yes! ”….

Valerie smiled like a flower: "You have such a good sense of humor, no wonder you are a writer, well, then I will take it!" While taking the money, he secretly scratched his finger on Hua Twelve's palm, and the meaning was naturally very obvious.

Hua Twelve smiled, as if there was no such thing, not to mention that this woman was a married woman, even if he was single, he didn't want it, because it didn't meet his aesthetic standards at all, I remember that in the original plot, Eddie came to her once.

Turning his head to look at Eddie's sloppy appearance, he said that the landlady has a really good appetite, and it is not taboo to eat meat and vegetables, and it is not taboo to be cold.

Since this day, Hua Twelve has become friends with Eddie, and the two often drink together, bragging, and fart, as for ., what is that?

No one wrote more than 10 words anyway.

One day Eddie found Hua Twelve in frustration and said that he wanted to invite him out for a drink, seeing that the former looked shocked, Hua Twelve asked curiously and learned that the other party's girlfriend officially broke up with him today.

Hua Twelve was very surprised, in the original plot, Eddie did have a girlfriend, but he hadn't seen him for so many days after entering the mission world, thinking that the two had already separated.

Immediately surprised: "You have a girlfriend?" I've never seen her come to you! ”

"So it's an 'official' breakup, in fact, she hasn't looked for me for two months!" Add looked like he was about to cry.

On this day, the two got drunk, of course, Eddie was drunk, and Hua Twelve helped him back.

The next afternoon, when Hua Twelve was watching the ball game at home, there was a sudden fierce knock on the door, and when he opened the door, Eddie was standing at the door with an excited face, holding a thick stack of manuscripts in his hand.

Unlike in the past, Eddie is now in good spirits, sweeping away the decadent color of his previous past: "Mike, help me see, this is the manuscript I wrote!" ”

Hua Twelve's eyes flickered, no need to ask, Eddie had already met his ex-brother-in-law and got the trial pack of NZT-48.

Let Eddie in and bring a can of beer to the other party, Hua Twelve sat on the sofa and looked at the other party's manuscript, well, the characters are plump, the storyline is compact, and the writing is concise but beautiful and smooth, in his opinion, this is definitely a good film.

"Wow, what a rare work of science fiction, Eddie, you really impress me!"

After Hua Twelve finished speaking, he looked envious and jealous again: "If only I had your writing, did you find inspiration from the blow of falling out of love?" ”

Eddie listened to Hua Twelve's praise and smiled all over his face, but looking at his envious look, his expression was slightly tangled.

Thinking of this new friend recently, helping him pay his rent, inviting him to eat and drink, and a series of other interesting things, Eddie pondered for a while and said:

"Mike, you can actually write such a good work, you just lack something that can make you wake up!"

Hua Twelve was overjoyed, and deliberately pretended to be confused: "Eddie, what you said shouldn't be a product, you must not touch those things for writing!" ”

"Of course not, what do you want, I'm talking about a new drug that can improve brain utilization, called NZT-48, but it's not on the market yet, it was when I met my ex-brother-in-law yesterday, he heard that I lacked inspiration and gave it to me, I woke up in the middle of the night last night, thinking about how bad it was, so I tried it, and what he said was true, I only took six hours to write 400,000 words, and you can see it, the finished product is here!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hua Twelve had already pulled out 20,000 US knives from the gap in the sofa and slapped them on the table:

"Eddie, take me to meet your ex-brother-in-law, I also want to buy some of this medicine, 10,000 is the money for the medicine, and 10,000 is your travel fee!"

Eddie's throat twitched, and he said that he meant to share, but he didn't expect Hua Twelve to be so generous, and for a while he was a little entangled in whether to ask for the travel fee.

Hua Twelve smiled and said, "Why don't you buy medicine for all 20,000, how about half of us?" ”

"Deal!"

Eddie really doesn't have the money to buy medicine, and he still wants to go to his ex-brother-in-law to make a small credit, but now he has everything.

Thanks: 08a brother's reward, thank you for the monthly ticket, recommended vote brother, thank you very much. 39314867.
