"Super market?

William looked hesitant: "Supermarket? This idea sounds cool, if it can be realized, I think I should like it, right? Ammer, are you going to open a store like this in the future?"

This time it was Li Mochen's turn to shrug his shoulders helplessly, he had such an idea, but he had no capital. Such a big store, as soon as you hear it, you know that the capital is not small, and it cannot be run without more than 500,000 gold shields. There are also neighborhood gangs to consider, as well as government factors.

He then stopped inking, walked less than twenty meters down the street, turned around again, and turned into a bookstore.

William looked helpless, so he could only follow Li Mochen in. He thought that Li Mochen had entered the bookstore to find some auxiliary textbooks or books on magic energy. But when I entered the store, I found that the latter was putting a few newspapers in the newspaper area in the shopping basket.

"Wow, I remember you never been interested in this kind of political newspaper before? If you want to watch current affairs news, wouldn't it be nice to turn on the TV?"

"Occasionally, I want to learn about current affairs and then increase my reading,"

Li Mochen casually pulled a reason, and then stared at a picture album in William's hand: "What is that? comics?"

"What else could it be?"

AS HE SPOKE, HE POSED A POSE: "MY FAVORITE ONE, IRON-BLOODED LIONFANG, THE FIRST BLACK HERO EVER, COOL! THIS IS THE LATEST ISSUE, I'M GOING TO BUY IT." And this Black Iron Knight, I like it too. This is the new antihero genre. Dressed in black iron armor, killing people without blinking, the police and the government don't pay attention to anything, and keep killing and killing, it's so cool. This is one of the hottest heroes at the moment, and nine out of ten in our school like him. ”

After Li Mochen thought about it, he also picked up a few books and threw them into his shopping basket: "I also plan to buy a few novels to see, William, do you have any good books to recommend over there?"

He thought to himself that since it was something that was very popular now, it should help him understand the culture and current situation of the 'United States of America'.

"Novel?huh, who's going to read that thing?"

William looked uninterested: "These books are tomes, and there are so many words that people can't understand, we never read them." ”

Li Mochen couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, and then fell into contemplation again.

What William said was somewhat unexpected. But when he thought about it carefully, he found some memories of the original owner.

In the year 3975 of the world's bright calendar, the famous writer Jonathan Corot, in his seminal book "The Illiterate Americans", used "one-third of the people in this country do not know these words" as the title of the first chapter. In the book, Jonathan Coarrow claims that 355,000,000 adults in America can't read poison warnings on pesticide bottles, letters from their teachers, or front pages of newspapers. In addition, there are 365 million people who have the ability to read, which is not even enough to meet the needs of social survival.

And in the year 3981 of the Illuminati calendar, according to a survey by educational institutions, one-third of 17-year-olds did not know who Abraham Sweeten, the founding father of America and the first great head of the country, was, and only 13% of Americans between the ages of 8 and 24 could find the small kingdom of Babylon on a map.

Not long ago, in 3988, America's literacy rate was declining, with 14 percent of the adult population (or 492 million people) not reading well, and 21 percent reading below the level required for 5th grade. 19% of high school graduates are illiterate.

This may sound exaggerated, but it is the official findings of the America Ministry of Education and the America National Institute for Literacy.

This is the consequence of the elite education practiced in America. Children belonging to the rich and middle class study hard in private schools, run around in various cram schools, and join various magical training organizations to study. The rest of the children from poor backgrounds are given so-called 'quality education' in public schools.

Obviously, those who are literate do not have much time to read novels and other leisure books, and those who have the leisure and time cannot understand too advanced things.

At this time, William pointed to his shopping basket again: "By the way, I suggest that you don't have to buy so much, it's too wasteful of money." If you know it's true, my uncle runs a scrap shop, and there are a lot of newspapers and magazines that are sent to me every day. Even if it's the latest, you only need to wait two more days. As for the comics, there are a few ready-made ones in our neighborhood, and I can probably help you borrow them in a month, and there are also rental bookstores, but the supply of books is also very tight. We don't have to spend money on that, do we?"

Li Mochen was as good as a stream, and immediately put all the newspapers, periodicals, and books in the shopping basket back to their original places.

This move made several bookstore clerks next to him look sideways, but one of Li Mochen's advantages is that the dough is thick enough.

As William said, there was no need for him to put his precious gold shield on it.

Whether it's buying from a scrap shop, borrowing or renting books, it's a very cost-effective way to do it. He just wants to learn more about the humanities, geography, history, current politics and style of the world through these books and newspapers, and he doesn't care about their newness and origin.

※※※※

Li Mochen and William walked around Market Street until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then took the bus back to the neighborhood where they lived.

They were lucky enough not to run into robbers on the way back. However, when Li Mochen and William parted ways again and came to the door of the dilapidated apartment building, they instinctively frowned.

This is because there are five luxury cars parked in front of the door of the apartment. The one in the middle, in particular, is an extended version of the 'City' model of Sweeten.

Sweeten is not only the surname of the first president of America, but also a well-known luxury car brand in America. The lengthened version of the Swiften 'City' had less than 73,000 units in the entire New World. Their owners, so to speak, are either rich or expensive.

In addition, on both sides of the convoy, there were more than a dozen bodyguards wearing sunglasses standing solemnly, guarding these magic cars.

When Li Mochen appeared, these people all turned their heads to look at him in unison.

Other than that, however, the men didn't do anything else, still standing like statues, letting him enter the apartment.

Li Mochen could probably guess what was going on, and walked inside with a cold face.

Ten seconds later, he came to the door of his half-bright basement. The door was already open, and on either side stood several tower-like white men.

It is worth noting that there are traces of the door lock being picked.

At this moment, a crisp and pleasant female voice came from the room: "You better not get me wrong, it was already like this when we came." Unfortunately, it seems that Andrei has been visited by thieves here. ”

Li Mochen raised his eyebrows slightly, directly ignored the few bodyguards at the door, and walked in. Then he saw a young woman about twenty years old, with exquisite makeup and beautiful features, sitting leisurely at his desk with her hands on her chest.

Li Mochen is deeply impressed by this woman, this is Jennifer Wildenstein, the sister of the original owner of the body. This also has a name that she gave up - Li Yunyun.

"Didn't there be a shooting near that Choi Kee restaurant? Why did you come back now? You made me wait too long, my dear brother. ”

"It's none of your business when I'll be back. ”

Li Mochen was indifferent, and replied in a stiff voice: "It's you, can you go?" I don't welcome you here, unless you want me to sue you for trespassing on the house." ”

He didn't have any ill feelings towards this Jennifer. But the original owner of the body was disgusted with his biological sister and disgusted to the extreme. This emotion was extremely strong, mixed with the memories he inherited, and it also directly affected him.
