The world enters the age of myth

Chapter 32 Investing in the Future

Lu Yiming began to take stock of the information obtained from this operation.

"A parallel world similar to the Earth was wiped out due to an S-class disaster that was difficult to solve. Then in that world, I saved a small ceramic man who seemed to have intelligence..."

"It should be powerful and have a certain amount of kindness. Well..."

Lu Yiming stood by the window, watching the cars coming and going.

That inexplicable little ceramic man was the first big gain.

"If I use the ability of this little ceramic man, maybe I can return to that parallel universe..."

"A double door of my own?"

After thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't figure out what gains I could gain from returning to that parallel universe.

That world is so terrifying. Just one kind of weird phenomenon almost makes me die. Maybe there is a second, third, fourth kind...

If the whole world was filled with these horrific supernatural phenomena, it would be too dangerous to venture into it.

"The supernatural phenomena in that world are too strong, and the number of monsters should be more than in our world, but it is not worthwhile to risk your life. Hey, I am too weak now, there is no need to do this."

"It would be a good choice if the ceramic villain could lead an entire army to explore. It's just a pity that it doesn't seem to want others to know its existence... and it probably won't help."

Lu Yiming sighed. These days of superficial peace are the most precious.

In his current world, although there are all kinds of conflicts and disputes between people, and the society is divided into rich and poor, but compared with the problems of survival, they are all trivial matters.

Survival... is the first priority!

It's just a pity that the world will run in its own way and will not be shaken by Lu Yiming's will alone.

The second biggest harvest is ceramic shards, which according to the ceramic doll can save lives!

What kind of life-saving method is unknown.

With the IQ of the little ceramic man, but unable to express himself clearly, he can only speak some very simple words such as "hippopotamus". As long as the meaning cannot be expressed, it can all be attributed to "hippopotamus".

"Do I still have to teach it to speak?" Lu Yiming's heart moved.

No, if the ceramic villain's IQ is too high, he might not be able to suppress him.

Being stupid is easier to control.

Lu Yiming thought darkly about how to trick this little ceramic man, but that wouldn't work if it was too stupid.

He stared at his unlimited energy cell phone, where the little ceramic man had been living.

"Forget it, take some time to educate it so that it has the IQ of a three-year-old child, so that it can communicate more smoothly. This is really not possible now."

"Third... there is another big gain! Notebook!"

Lu Yiming put the notebook he picked up in the parallel world in his pocket on the table and spread it out carefully.

There are dense written records on it, which can be regarded as the most generous loot of this operation.

Maybe it contains some important information!

His heart beat slightly faster, and he copied some of the words on a piece of white paper, and then searched for similar words on the Internet.

Unfortunately, this kind of text has never appeared in this world, so naturally nothing can be found.

"It's true. If you can't even find it on the Internet, it's definitely not our writing here."

"It seems that we have to find a way to hand over this notebook to the research institute in a reasonable manner."

What kind of crack should be left to the professionals, and there is no need to take everything on them.

Of course, the so-called "reasonable" must pay attention to the correct method. It does not mean that if you pick up a notebook on the roadside and hand it in, you will be taken seriously.

Although the institute has strong political power, in order to keep secrets, the manpower is still limited, and it is impossible to spend the experts' energy on trivial matters.

On the other hand, Lu Yiming didn't want to reveal that the notebook was found in a parallel world.

He couldn't explain the fact that he ended up in a parallel world.

What's more, he promised the little porcelain man not to reveal the news. It would be terrible if you rashly anger the other party. Even if the other party seems stupid, it is not wise to break the contract and bring risks to yourself.

"You still have to find a suitable opportunity before you can hand it over."

On this afternoon, it was still quiet and nothing special happened.

Lu Yiming sat in the office and studied his notebook all afternoon, but he didn't even come up with anything.

What a waste of life!

Lu Yiming shook his head and gave up completely, then focused his attention on the ceramic shards in his hand.

Except for the lower temperature, it looks like an ordinary ceramic. However, if you use your mind to possess it, you will find that it is a real monster.

There is an invisible force that blocks the intrusion of thoughts. When the mind touches it, there will be a very cold and comfortable feeling, as if some peppermint has been sprinkled on the head.

But that's all.

So far, this piece of ceramic shard shows nothing strange.

"Huh...what a leisurely job."

I yawned and looked at the time again. It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and another day passed.

"I haven't eaten dinner yet. Let's go have a meal first and then go home. I'll think of a way to hand in the notebook tomorrow."

The weather is a bit hot, it's already July, and even at five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is still quite bright.

At the Big Rice Tong restaurant near the security building, he casually ordered some fried noodles with shredded pork, hurriedly solved the problem of food and clothing, bought another bottle of happy water, and patted his belly. Lu Yiming felt quite satisfied with his life.

To be honest, this job is really a bit leisurely. He has been relaxing here for several days, doing nothing in the office every day.

If it weren't for the fact that the world is becoming more and more dangerous and he needs to train himself all the time, maybe he really thought that he had reached the pinnacle of his life and achieved financial freedom.

"Hey, handsome guy, do you want me to take you home? This is my new car, how about it?"

Jin Lili drove a red luxury car, rolled down the window, and greeted.

She was born in a wealthy family with a superior family background and a more lively and cheerful personality. She often teases Lu Yiming, a new colleague.

Lu Yiming glanced at her car, turned around and ran away: "I can't afford to offend her. If others see me sitting in the passenger seat as a man, they will say I'm a softie."

Jin Lili followed in a car: "Do you want me to let you drive for a while? How about I sit in the passenger seat... You've never driven a sports car, right? You can give it a try, don't look so stinky!"

"Okay, you asked me to drive."

Lu Yiming was not polite, stepped on the accelerator, and the roar of the motor sounded.

Buzz!

This sports car drove slowly on the road, and passers-by looked at him with strange eyes.

This feeling of being watched was too pretentious and a bit overwhelming. Lu Yiming couldn't help but blush.

He doesn't really like to show off.

Jin Lili smiled on the side: "You are so hypocritical. I just asked you to come up and refused. Now others think I am eating your soft rice, is this enough?"

Lu Yiming said nervously: "You are wrong, it is normal to have a woman next to you... They must be thinking that I have no quality at all by making the motor of the car so loud!! There are still people cursing me when I get into a car accident. Although I’m not driving fast at all…”

"Haha, what you said makes sense."

Lu Yiming added: "Do you know what I'm thinking about now?"

"I'll buy one myself in the future... doesn't it feel good?"

"Of course not, it's not good at all. I'm very nervous now, you know? I crashed your car, will you let me pay for it? It feels like the car is going to overturn after just one stone. It's so hard to drive. , I will never buy this kind of car again."

"And, do you know why men or women like to buy luxury cars?" Lu Yiming paused and showed a smile.

"Why?"

"According to a psychological report, showing off one's car is equivalent to showing off one's economic power. In today's society, showing off one's economic power is equivalent to showing off one's reproductive ability. Driving this kind of car is too superficial. I am so superficial. person?"

"What a... baffling theory! But it seems to make sense. Haha!" Jin Lili didn't mind what Lu Yiming said and laughed again.

She asked again: "Then what do you do with so much money? Maybe it will become a pile of waste paper in the future, and these things will expire and become invalid. You will have a lot of salary every month, so what do you do with the money? By saving. Money to be a billionaire?”

Lu Yiming said seriously: "I'm going to buy a Wuling Hongguang."

"What?"

"Let's invest!" Lu Yiming said: "If the end of the world really comes, wouldn't it be cost-effective to stock up on a batch of electronic products? Anyway, mobile phones, laptops and other items are not big in size, and a car full of goods is worth tens or even hundreds of millions. ! If order collapses, it will be difficult to produce these globalized consumer electronics, right? So I plan to hoard some goods. As long as humans are not completely extinct, we will always need these things."

Jin Lili was a little surprised: "Well... your idea is not bad, but the government should stock up on supplies in this area."

Lu Yiming said: "But it's okay for me to hoard some personally, right? We employees with ferry tickets also have some private space, right? The government's belongings belong to the government, and my own belongings belong to me. It's impossible to take my things away. Confiscation?”

This question actually stumped Jin Lili.

She doesn't have the same psychological urgency as Lu Yiming. It's been more than ten years since the prophecy was proposed, isn't it fine now? Why the urgency? But seeing Lu Yiming's worried look, she became a little anxious.

"It's really no problem. We staff can indeed carry more things... We still have parking spaces."

Jin Lili fell into deep thought, "Well... maybe I should also stock up on some supplies?"

Not long after, the car drove to an old community and the destination was reached. Lu Yiming still lives in the single apartment he used to live in for a thousand and a half months.

When saying goodbye, Jin Lili asked again: "Then why do you still live in this place? Even if you want to invest, there is no need to be so stingy. After solving a C-3 level task, you will get a bonus and enter the research The institute also has a resettlement fee... You shouldn't be short of money, right?"

Lu Yiming smiled and replied: "I'm not like you, who was born rich and white. I'm just an ordinary person. I hesitate for a long time to buy the latest mobile phone. High consumption makes me feel uneasy! I feel uncomfortable."

"Now I feel that living here is quite good and living an ordinary life is quite happy. There is no need to change."

"Is that so? What you said is very philosophical."

"Hahaha, you just realized it."

Jin Lili smiled. In her opinion, isn't it a happy thing to buy some luxury goods or something you really want?

But it makes sense if you think about it carefully. Many people have difficulty controlling themselves in the face of sudden wealth, which often leads to tragedy in the end. There are also some examples of this in the research institute. After some superpowers were recruited, they had a little power but immediately lost it. They often felt that they were superior to others.

This kind of person is actually very annoying and has extremely poor quality. The so-called super power is only as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, and he really thinks he is God.

"Let's play games together tonight?"

"We'll talk about it then!"

After saying goodbye to each other, Lu Yiming pushed open the door of the dormitory building and looked at the familiar stairs. He suddenly had a wonderful illusion as if it was yesterday.

He really hopes to return to the comfortable and carefree days of the past... using his superpower to peek into the fat gentleman's computer and happily playing with various little butters.

But unfortunately, it is impossible to go back.

"Please give way, please give way." A female voice suddenly came from behind. It was a girl who was struggling to get in with a large bag of daily necessities.

Lu Yiming stepped aside and helped her open the door.

"Thank you." the girl said.

Because this single apartment does not have an elevator and you have to climb stairs to go up and down, the rent is slightly cheaper than other houses. It is a bit difficult for a girl to carry a large bag of things up.

Lu Yiming just opened the door for her and had no intention of helping the other party. In this era, rashly helping strangers will only cause misunderstandings.

But after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, he said with a little uncertainty: "Bian Yuwei?"

There was a look of reminiscence in the girl's eyes, as if she remembered this former male colleague, and raised her eyebrows: "Lu Yiming? Do you live here too?"

This girl was admitted to the same school as him, but not in the same department, and they didn't have much contact with each other.

She is very good-looking and is equivalent to a dazzling star in the company. Many male colleagues are reserved on the surface, but in fact they have more or less ideas. This can be regarded as human nature. No matter how old a man is, he likes young and beautiful ones.

Lu Yiming nodded and smiled, "Let me help you carry your things up. When did you move here?"

"I just moved here this week... You seem to have resigned a long time ago, right? I also resigned last month. I really can't stay in the original company!" Bian Yuwei said.

"Why did you resign? I remember that you were valued by the leadership, right?" Lu Yiming helped her pick up the bag. It was really heavy, weighing about thirty or forty pounds.

"The reason...haha, the world is so big, I want to see other places."

Speaking of this, Bian Yuwei's face turned red: "Actually, it's because that damn Zhang Yuan already has a wife, and he still does this and that. Fortunately, I discovered it in advance..."

Lu Yiming frowned. Zhang Yuan was a small leader of a certain department in the company.

Recalling the rumors that were once popular, he understood.

"So that's the case. It's better to resign as soon as possible."

Bian Yuwei glanced at him and said, "I see that you are different from before. I couldn't recognize you at first glance."

"Yeah?"

Lu Yiming lowered his head and looked at his chest. It might be because he had gained some muscle after a period of systematic exercise.

The two of them talked about the big and small stories that had happened in the company, and most of them complained about how the original company was not good, and how some leaders engaged in office politics all day long and had no future for development. Since we have the same experience, we have quite a common language when chatting.

"Actually... every company is like this. Whether it is a large company or a small company, you can always find a lot of shortcomings and it always looks like a mess."

Lu Yiming sighed.

But in reality, it can be even more confusing if left to your own devices.

The world is always moving forward in chaos, where does perfection come from?
