Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 100 The fallen leaves will never come back

time flies.

No, all senior high school students across the country should have this feeling.

Immersed in high-intensity study every day, with a face covered in grease or chalk dust, when I look up in the bustle, I will find that the number representing the countdown somewhere in the classroom has lost one day.

Even a few days.

In the classroom of Class 8 of Grade 3, the number of students decreased again, and five more students no longer came to school. They either chose to make the final sprint at home, or chose to start the longest summer vacation of their lives early.

As summer approaches, the trees outside the window become greener, more lush and leafy.

However, the "big tree" covered with sticky notes on the blackboard at the back has already had a lot of "fallen leaves" due to the passage of time and the hot weather.

It is hard to tell who wrote the "wish" in the first place. When no one noticed it, it had lost its stickiness and fell away.

Some were picked up reluctantly and re-pasted, while some had to be swept into the bin as garbage because their owners were not around.

But the small piece of paper at the top, right next to the words "College Entrance Examination Countdown", seemed to be stronger than any leaf and had been stuck there.

Zhai Da has put aside all distractions in the past few days and even stopped spending time looking for equipment, planning every day in an orderly manner.

I got up at six o'clock, brushed my teeth and washed my face with Lu Wei, and then did some Olympiad math problems to wake my brain up.

After breakfast, I went to school playing poker as my only entertainment.

In the morning, he lent the [Pen of the Literary Girl] to Lu Siwen to start cheating. In the afternoon, he took it back to check and fill in the gaps. In the evening, he gave it to Lu Wei to strengthen his memory.

In the evening, I would do a lot of exercises. While I was focusing on math, I also tutored Lu Wei in Chinese and English.

People say that fulfilling days are the most unforgettable, but Zhai Da feels that days that are too fulfilling are easier to forget.

Sometimes I get distracted and can’t even count how many days have passed.

It was as if there was a "time thief" who took advantage of no one's attention and went into the classroom and stole the numbers on the wall.

On the only day in between, Sunday, Zhai Da finally had time to steal, and he chose to take a break.

I chose to put down the pen and let myself go, and made an appointment with a guy I hadn't seen for a long time.

At the door of a dessert shop on Jianshe Road, Zhai Da saw Wu Yue, who had not been seen for a long time, from afar.

There are quite a few changes compared to before. Before, he had that ostentatious style of wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses, but this time he feels much more low-key.

An ordinary T-shirt and jeans.

Even from a distance, before Zhai Da opened his mouth, Wu Yue asked, "Let me guess, are you here to talk to me about Lu Benqing?"

Zhai Da was stunned: "Can you guess this?"

Wu Yue chuckled: "I delivered it myself, and I was counting the days."

Zhai Da nodded and said seriously: "There is still a week left before the college entrance examination. I want to deal with this hidden bomb. You have been paying attention to it. Do you know where he is now?"

"Yes, in the detention center."

"Hmm? Not released yet?"

"Yes, he went in again."

Zhai Da opened his mouth
You really only get out to bask in the sun for one day every two weeks, right?!

"You sent it in?"

Wu Yue kept it a secret and pulled Zhai Da into the store: "It's rare for you to see me, so just chat and have a drink. I'll treat you."

Zhai Da could only suppress his curiosity for the time being and ordered a smoothie that tasted delicious in his memories.

When he was in junior high school, his school was nearby, and he would occasionally eat smoothies here. At that time, it was a pure luxury. Four or five classmates would share a plate and each use a small spoon to scoop and eat.

Then Zhai Da watched the clerk grind the ice cubes into powder and then add flavoring, saccharin and pigment.
It's so green.

Zhai Da suddenly lost his appetite. Why did he like to eat this kind of food back then?
The smoothie was placed on the table as a decoration. Zhai Da asked quickly, "Tell me, how did you send Lu Benqing in again? Was he stupid enough to be fooled twice?"

Wu Yue stretched out a finger and waved it: "I'm not stupid enough to be fooled twice. People like this are addicted and will eat shit. Of course, I still have some skills."

As if he had prepared to tell a story to show off, Wu Yue snapped his fingers and threw a beer bottle cap to Zhai Da.

Zhai Da took a look and saw that it was a very common "Tsingtao Beer" cap with "Thank you for your patronage" written on the inside.

Wu Yue said: "This one doesn't have a prize, but I went to a few stores and collected one with a prize, winning 666 yuan. They will take the cap to the manufacturer for reimbursement. I collected one for 700 yuan, and it was a genuine winning bottle cap."

Zhai Da's eyes widened: "So."

"So? The gambler who just got out didn't pick up a wallet this time, but picked up a beer bottle cap. I don't need to tell you what happened next, right?" "Then how do you know where he passed by?"

"Didn't I tell you? I'm counting the days. I'll be in the detention center for a while and then be resurrected."

Zhai Da was silent for a moment, and there should be applause here!
“Snap”, “Snap”, “Snap”!
"You're awesome! Bro, you're awesome!"

Wu Yue touched his nose. For boys to say "You're awesome" sincerely to each other was already the highest compliment.

Lu Benqing was swept away wherever he went. Apart from the fact that Wu Yue got an extra bonus and Dongyang got less unhealthy, his reputation would probably be ruined in the future.

Including the first time Zhai Da reported it, it has happened three times. Maybe some people have come to their senses.

Maybe this will solve his problem forever.
In either way.

Zhai Da and Wu Yue had indeed not seen each other for a long time. Although Lu Benqing's issue had been resolved, they did not separate immediately. Although they said they disliked each other, their hands were honest. Each of them used a small spoon to scoop out the smoothie.

There seemed to be endless topics to talk about.

Changes in the school, classmates’ situations, and whether both families are doing well.

For example, Zhai Da and Lin Shuyao became deskmates, and Wu Yue's cousin is now his personal henchman.

But when Wu Yue said that he had opened up a new business some time ago and sent a wanted person in, Zhai Da was still worried about this kid Meng Lang.

"You guys, you're doing something so risky?"

"I just happened to run into him. He wasn't a tough guy. He seemed to be involved in pyramid schemes. I didn't even meet him. I followed him to the hotel where he was staying. I called the police and they came. I got 2000 yuan for free."

Zhai Da pointed at Wu Yue with his smoothie spoon and said seriously, "What if we meet someone with anti-reconnaissance capabilities one day? It's OK to just report pornography and gambling, but do you really think you're a 'superhero'?"

Wu Yue scratched his head: "In fact, it's not that easy to meet a wanted person. It's pure luck. But you are right. I am learning reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance in this system."

Zhai Da: Is that what I mean?

Looking at Wu Yue's appearance, he had to admit that this guy had changed a lot. While he was exploring the ocean of knowledge at school, Wu Yue might have grown even more outside.

But it still makes people feel uneasy.

"I'm going to do something during the summer vacation. Can you stay quiet for two months and help me?"

"whats the matter?"

"There are several options, but nothing has been decided yet. Anyway, I want to start a business. Of course, don't expect too much. I'm not good enough to open a factory or engage in foreign trade."

"Okay, even if you sell starch sausages, I will set up a stall with you."

Wu Yue had no objection. After all, several gambling and prostitution dens in Dongyang County had been busted. He had received nearly 30,000 yuan in prize money, and there was still some money that he had not received.

It’s nice to do something with good brothers, even if it’s a “high school student entrepreneurship” that is doomed to fail.

After all, Zhai Da will go to college after this summer vacation.
Wu Yue took out a red envelope and handed it to Zhai Da: "The reward for reporting Lu Benqing for the second time has not been paid yet, but the first three thousand was agreed to be split equally between us, so I added a little to make it even."

Zhai Da didn't take it, and glanced at it and said, "Why? I said no, and didn't you put 700 on the beer bottle cap? What's the point of adding a little instead of deducting a little?"

Wu Yue shook his head: "Let's put it this way. Consider this a red envelope for you to get into a good university. I saw in the group that you are now the top student in the school."

Zhai Da glanced at Wu Yue and thought that this guy was imitating the behavior of "adults". High school students would never do such a thing.
But in the end, he accepted this generous red envelope.

"Keep it here with me first, and ask me for it when you need it."

Wu Yue chuckled: "Me? I haven't received several bonuses yet!"

"You are sure you won't take the college entrance examination, right?"

"No, it's a waste of time."

"The day after tomorrow, Tuesday, the school will have a graduation ceremony, which will also be a mobilization meeting. Would you like to come and take a look?"

"Not even going, isn't this a waste of time?"

"I will go on stage to speak as a representative of outstanding students."

"Then I have to go and see you show off your power!"

Zhai Da laughed and scolded, "Can you still find your school uniform? Don't let me treat you as a member of society and not let you in!"

Wu Yue laughed: "Then I'll climb over the wall and take a look!"
