Chapter 16: Return and Blind Date
Xu Yue closed her eyes and sat on the edge of the bed to calm her mood. After a break and this afternoon of relaxation, his nervous spirit, which had been tense because of studying, was completely relaxed.
Then he took out a magic book he had bought from the magic apprentice named Peter Drucker, flipped to the middle page, and read the contents of the book again.
The spell of 'fast reading' is actually very simple, and the point is to control enough mental power to form a specific circuit between the brain and the eyes according to a certain route. The challenge is to be careful not to hurt your brain by going down the wrong route.
Once this circuit is formed, then it will not disappear again, and next time, as long as enough mental power is injected into the circuit, then this magic can be activated, which is very convenient.
After repeatedly making sure that there were no mistakes in the spell casting steps he memorized, Xu Yue sat on the bed in the Taoist five-hearted cross-sitting method, he didn't know if this posture had any special effects, but he thought that Taoists also used this posture to practice similar to meditation, and there should be some auxiliary effect.
Feeling that his spiritual power was now several times stronger than before, he carefully mobilized a small stream of spiritual power to form an extremely thin silk thread and began to shuttle in his brain according to a certain route.
It felt like inserting one of my fingers into my ears and eyes, and I had a very clear sense of mental power and brain.
Xu Yue felt that his spiritual power was like a worm moving forward, and after passing through some places in the brain, there was sometimes a slight obstacle. According to the records of the magic book, whenever he encounters these places, he increases the intensity of the impact, and once he rushes over, his brain will feel tingling for a moment.
Fortunately, the sensation is not only mild, but also fleeting. However, on the one hand, we must be careful to maintain the strength of the mental power, so that the mental power will not be too strong and destroy these channels in the brain, and on the other hand, we must control the route so as not to go the wrong way in the complex brain.
The first time he controlled his mental power to do this, he felt a little in a hurry. Thankfully, 'Quick Read' is only a zero-level magic trick at best, and the steps required are really simple.
After persisting for about five minutes, Xu Yue felt a feeling of soreness in his eyes, and his mental power was already connected with his eyes. Now all you have to do is to return the spiritual power from another route, and connect with one of the points of the spiritual power thread to form a circuit.
By this time, this magic can basically be regarded as eighty percent complete, and the rest of the line is much simpler.
The moment when the spiritual thread perfectly forms a circuit. Xu Yue felt a slight shock in his brain, as if a thunderbolt exploded overhead, and the whole person shook.
He happily opened his eyes and looked around, the scenery around him seemed to become clearer, and his brain became very clear, everything he saw seemed to be deeply engraved in his mind, and every detail of the object could be recalled very clearly.
Xu Yue excitedly walked off the bed, went to the table, took out the books that Ugarit gave him for reading, and looked through them.
These books were deliberately selected by Ugarit, and most of them were used by the Academy of Magic as an initiation for magical apprentices to learn the Carthic language.
Its effect on magic apprentices is the equivalent of an earth's children's enlightenment book, which is not only very simple in words and meanings, but also easy to understand.
He opened the books and started from the first page, reading them aloud as he could, remembering what he didn't know and couldn't understand, and skipping over this part. Although he read the whole part stumblingly, it was very fast, as if a video tape had been fast-forwarded.
For a full hour, he put down the book in his hand, which was about half a brick thick, closed his eyes, and began to recall the contents of the book.
He opened his eyes a few minutes later, full of surprise and admiration.
He can clearly recall every character in the book he sees, and can even find many mistakes in his memory. It's as if he was holding the clearest video in front of his eyes.
The effect of this spell that is only level zero is really amazing, level zero is just the difficulty of its casting, if you calculate it according to the effect, even a spell of level six or seven cannot compare to its effect.
If everyone on Earth can learn this magic, then I am afraid that there will be an amazing leap forward in technology on Earth.
After all, most of the learning time of human beings on the earth is wasted on boring learning and repetitive memory. If this part of the time is converted to research and summarize knowledge, the energy generated will be unimaginable.
However, this kind of thing, Xu Yue just thought about it for a while and gave up. The spiritual power of the earthlings itself is much weaker than that of Taramia, even if 'fast reading' is a zero-level magic that requires very little mental power to cast, but he also relied on meditation to make his mental power reach four or five times that of the previous before to barely reach the standard of learning.
And let the earthlings learn meditation? He could only say sorry for that.
Even with his current mental power, he couldn't feel the magical element in the environment of the earth. Not to mention ordinary humans on the earth whose spiritual power cannot be effectively improved.
It is estimated that all human beings will not be able to find a few beings whose spiritual power is four or five times that of ordinary people.
Putting down the mess in his heart, Xu Yue once again put his spirit into learning.
He had learned the basics of Carthusian in the previous month, and with the magic of fast reading, he was able to speed up his learning. In his plan, he would spend the remaining two months learning the Carthusian language and the common script thoroughly. And as his learning progress increases, his magic learning can gradually be put on the agenda.
Ten days later, Xu Yue finished the first month of study, and according to the plan, he finally ended Talumia's seclusion today and prepared to return to Earth.
Before leaving, he made a large purchase at Ricky's alchemy, PΓΉ, and put some magic potions he estimated he might need and some cheap but useful magic equipment into his storage ring.
The location of this crossing is the underground parking lot of a hotel in the city. He appeared directly in the back seat of his car, which was already parked in the parking lot.
It's not that he doesn't want to set up the crossing point in his villa, but there are detailed records of people and vehicles entering and leaving every day at the gate of the community where the villa is located.
He had been away for a month this time, and if he had crossed through the villa, it would have been recorded that he had not left the villa for a month.
And this month, he did not have any record of spending in the shops in the community. It's hard to explain how he's been living in the villa for the month.
If these things are revealed by someone with a heart, it will become very troublesome.
So for the sake of prudence, you can only find other locations to cross.
In order to be safe, he deliberately chose to cross at night, so that the blackout glass of the window behind the car could minimize the chance of him being revealed.
I cautiously looked at the dimly lit parking lot, and there was no one around. He sped out of the place and hurried towards the villa.
When he arrived at the community, it was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and the security guard at the gate respectfully opened the railing and let him in after carefully checking the entry and exit certificate and photos.
The villa has not been inhabited for a month, so there is a layer of dust on the furniture and floor.
Xu Yue didn't care about this, he went directly to the bedroom and took out a battery from the drawer of the wardrobe and replaced it with his mobile phone.
A month is the time for even the best mobile phone points will be exhausted.
After the mobile phone was turned on, a series of incoming call messages rang, including the fat Liang Jiacheng, Fang Yu, home, and a few calls from former colleagues.
But what reassures him is that maybe because he told his family that he couldn't talk on the phone for a month, so the text message showed that the family only called two or three times and didn't call again.
I dialed the phone at home first, and my mother's voice rang on the phone more than ten seconds later.
"Is it Yueyue, are you back from a business trip?"
Wandering alone on the Talumia Big 6, even though he had only been away for a month, made him feel as if he had been away for a year.
Over there, he was alone, working hard for the future in an unfamiliar environment, although it seemed that there was no danger, but the pressure in his heart was actually very great.
After hearing his mother's concerned voice, this pressure suddenly turned into a strong emotion.
"Mom! It's me! I just came back, and there was no place to charge before, so my phone was dead. It's not about calling you and your dad as soon as you get home. How are you doing this month?"
"It's good to be back. Tell your mom about it. It's okay, things at work are like that, everyone has a bad time, no matter what happens, don't take it to heart. β
The mother's comforting voice sounded in her ears, making Xu Yue's eyes burst into tears. The mother of the child Xing Qianli was worried, thinking that there was no news from her for a month, and the old couple was worried about it.
"Mom, I'm fine! Don't worry! Except for the accident of not being able to turn on electricity, there are other things over there. I've eaten well and slept well this month, and I've gained two pounds. Xu Yue said in a relaxed tone on the phone. He was afraid that his mother would worry, so he deliberately said that this departure was very good.
In fact, it's pretty much the same, his only job every day on Taruntamia's side is meditation and learning words, and the rest of the time he basically stays at home, and the food is specially delivered, so he has had a good month.
"That's good! By the way, Yueyue, did you talk to someone over there? Your dad has a classmate's daughter who is about the same age as you, and he hasn't found a partner. The other party said to your dad that he would let you meet, you have been on a business trip and couldn't be contacted, just this time you came back, take the time to come back and have a look, and the two sides made an appointment to meet. Mother said with concern.
After listening to her mother's words, Xu Yue's head suddenly turned into two big.
It's not the first time that the family has introduced a partner, after he graduated from college, his family urged him to find a partner to marry, and his mother even took a photo of a nineteen-year-old girl and asked him if he liked it, and almost killed him at that time.
In the past few years, as he has grown older, the number of times his family has introduced him to his partners has become more and more frequent.
But the other party's conditions don't look down on him, and the other party's character and appearance are not very good, and he doesn't want to settle, but now the good ones are introduced at the beginning, and the back is even worse than the other, making every blind date make him a pain.
Once went on a blind date with a girl, but the other party's body momentum was more than that of the man, which almost made him think that he was going to marry out, and later after being known by the fat man Liang Jiacheng, he almost died of laughter.
"Mom, you and my dad don't bother with this. I'm only twenty-six this year, so it's not too late to find a partner. I haven't looked for it now, but I haven't found the right one. β
"If this girl can make eye contact with you, then the matter will be done! Okay, needless to say, you will come back this Saturday to meet the girl. That's it. Mother took out the momentum of the queen mother to directly decide this matter, and suddenly he could only succumb, anyway, this is not the first time.
After listening to my mother's babbling for an hour, the phone hung up. Xu Yue slapped his head helplessly and fell on the bed, he was sure that this blind date was either Jurassic Park or Long live the Queen.
So Jurassic Park, that is, the other party is too ugly, and some are even a little scary. This situation has stood in the vast majority of his blind dates in the last year.
Xu Yue does not deny that he is a member of the 'Appearance Association', and he still has certain expectations for the appearance of his other half, but it is obvious that most of the blind dates have backfired.
The so-called long live the queen refers to the fact that the woman may feel that she is good-looking, that she may feel that her family background is good, or that she may not be good at anything, but she just feels that she is superior.
This kind of girl often behaves domineering in the process of blind dates, so she almost carves words on his head with a contemptuous eye.
Xu Yue wants to have a better appearance, but he wants to take a wife, and he doesn't want to marry an ancestor to come back, so for this kind of girl, even if the other party is good-looking, he definitely can't look down on half of it. And most of the time, the other party doesn't look down on him.
It's a foregone conclusion, at most, it's equivalent to finding the abuse again. Anyway, it will only take an hour at most, either the other party will go or he will go, gritting his teeth and passing. He couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart.
Leaving his worries behind, he looked at the dust on the furniture of the villa, took out a quaint ring from the storage ring and put it on his hand.
I saw him snap his fingers in a dashing manner, and suddenly a faint light came out of his hand, and the dust on the furniture in the room was instantly cleared by this faint light. It's just that in the blink of an eye, the furniture that had been covered with a layer of furniture became the same as freshly wiped.
'Cleansing' is a magic unique to Talumia, this level zero magic has no attack power, and its only function is to clean dust and stains from objects within a certain range.
As a simple and practical zero-level magic trick, this spell is a must for almost all mages and magic apprentices. Whether it's at home or out on an adventure, this spell can bring great convenience to people.
During the last ten days of the month, Xu Yue also learned this spell.
But considering that the earth's magic elements are thin Cheng DΓΉ, with his current mental power, even if he casts such a zero-level magic trick, I'm afraid he will be suffocated and his face will be red and his neck thick.
So he went to Ricky's shop pΓΉ and bought a few energy storage magic equipment that could release some practical zero-level magic. Most of the magic that can be unleashed by these devices is a level zero magic that has no attack power like 'Cleansing', but is very useful.
Because these magic equipment have no attack power and are of the lowest level, even energy storage equipment is not very expensive. Six magic rings cost him only one hundred and eighty gold coins, which is quite cheap.
Most of these are the works of some high-level magic apprentices or first-level magicians in their spare time, and they are sold to the market to earn some pocket money. Most of the people who bought it were adventurers and mercenaries with non-spellcasting professions, after all, this kind of equipment that only needed spells and a little mental power to activate was still very practical.
The ring on his hand is constant 'Cleansing', the energy storage magic ring can release the 'Cleansing Technique' seven times a day, and after use, it can be recharged again in the environment of Talumia in just twenty-four hours, and it is not known on Earth, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take about half a month.
After three cleanings, the whole villa became bright and clean. After seeing this situation, Xu Yue nodded with satisfaction and fell on the warm big bed.
Because today is Friday, so he has to rush home tomorrow, he is planning what gifts to bring to his parents, while thinking about the blind date, he unconsciously fell asleep......
Xu Yue got up early in the morning the next day, and after a brief wash, he looked at the brand-name clothes on his body in the mirror and frowned. Turning around and walking to the closet, he took out the only set of old clothes he had ever used to have.
Although it is said to be old clothes, it is not the kind of stall goods, and it is an out-of-season dress that I just bought in the summer.
After changing his clothes, he looked in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
He didn't want his parents to know about his sudden fortune. Mainly because he can't explain the source of this wealth now, and he can't find a reason even if he wants to fool around.
As for what he said about winning the lottery, where is the proof of winning, where is the proof of transfer, where is the lottery ticket in one draw, and what is the amount? Even if he wanted to, he couldn't make it up perfectly. You must know that his parents are not easy to fool, if he suddenly has such a huge wealth, the old couple will definitely examine it carefully.
It is impossible for him to say anything about crossing the other world, and if he knows that he is doing such a dangerous thing with his mother's character, then no matter what benefits he will get from crossing over, he will be strictly forbidden.
After all, in the mother's heart, it doesn't matter how much wealth the son can have, safety and health are the first priority.
Because he intends to hide the current situation, the luxury car he just bought can only be parked at home. After taking a taxi to the train station, he bought a train ticket straight home.
Xu Yue's home is not far from City B, but it is not close. If it is close, it will only take two or three hours to get home by train, but if it is far away, this distance is not a casual way to go back, at least he used to be busy with work and did not have time to go back a few times a month.
Sitting on the train, watching the scenery on both sides of the window fly backwards, he couldn't help but feel a little homesick in his heart.
Because he has been tossing and turning with Talumia Big 6 recently, he hasn't been home for two and a half months. But thinking of the upcoming blind date, his head began to hurt again.
At this time, in the carriage a few cars away from him, Wu Ting and a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties and had a pair of smart eyes were sitting on the seat and talking happily.
Wu Ting was originally the kind of top beauty with a good figure, appearance and temperament, and the beauty next to her was not inferior to her at all.
Compared with Wu Ting, this beauty is more plump, her straight breasts and round buttocks make her curves more exaggerated, this kind of plumpness not only does not make people feel fat, but makes people feel charming.
With delicate facial features and a pair of eyes that seem to be able to penetrate water, coupled with that kind of coquettish temperament, this is simply a superb beauty with Lori temperament and royal sister figure.
Two beauties who are usually rare to see appeared at the same time, still sitting in the same seat, which immediately attracted the eyes of the men in the carriage like big bad wolves.
However, it was obvious that the female companions next to these men were extremely dissatisfied with their men's actions, and they left a few purple and black marks on the waists or legs of those men, while looking at Wu Ting and the beauties next to them with envious, jealous and hateful eyes.
The beautiful woman next to Wu Ting was obviously accustomed to the eyes around her, as if nothing had appeared, she was smiling and hugging Wu Ting's arm and said with a little coquettishness: "Sister Tingting, why do we have to take the train! Look at the wolf-like stares around you, as if they want to eat us. β
Wu Ting gently flicked the head of this beautiful woman and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, do you think we are still at home now, we are working now." You see which company's employees go on a business trip to the subsidiary to check the accounts and send them in a luxury car. Since it's a workout, you have to look like you're exercising. The two of us are now just employees of the affairs department, not the eldest lady at home, of course, according to the rules of the company. β
The beauty named Xiaoxue pouted and leaned on her arm coquettishly and said, "It's all Sister Tingting." I have to go to the department below the company to be a small staff incognito, and I call it experience. It's better now, let the family be watched with you. β
Wu Ting smiled a little angrily: "It's not that you heard that I was going to go incognito into the company to practice, but I thought it was funny, and I had to come with me." How's it going? I regret it now!"
Xiao Xue pouted and shook her arm and said, "That's because people are afraid that Sister Tingting will be boring alone, so they came to accompany you!"
After nodding Xiaoxue's head a little helplessly, Wu Ting said with a bit of seriousness: "The two of us, as special commissioners of the head office this time, will conduct a careful review of the daily management and accounting aspects of the city's subsidiaries. There are rumors that there are some problems in the accounts of the branch, if it is true, our task is to find out the problems, and the workload is very heavy, so you have to be serious. β
Speaking of work, the delicate expression on Xiao Xue's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, she sat up straight and nodded, "Don't worry, Sister Tingting." That's what I do, and if you have a problem, you can't hide it from me. Besides, it's not just the two of us who are here this time, but I have brought the entire elite soldiers of the finance department. β
After speaking, Xiaoxue pointed behind him, and saw that the rows of seats behind him were full of people in formal professional clothes, and it could be seen from the confident expressions and capable style of these people that these were the elites in the workplace.
After the train stopped in the city, Xu Yue, Wu Ting and others got off the train, but the two groups were far away and did not see each other.
