I will never give in to Miss Death

"Are you also from No. 107 Zi Lan Yuan? Aren't we looking for the same person?"

After hearing what I said, Xiong Xiong in front of me asked curiously, "Your name is Jiang Wei?"

"Eh?"

I was also a little dumbfounded: "Xiongxiong, the graphics card agent you mentioned... is it him? Jiang Wei?"

Jiang Wei is the agent of Tianqi 3000? No way? It should be a coincidence, right?

After all, the name "Jiang Wei" is quite common. In a big city like Kamihama, there may be at least ten or eight people named Jiang Wei, so it is not surprising to have the same name.

But if this person is called Jiang Wei, his job is related to computers, and he happens to live in the Glory Zone, then I have to consider whether he is the Jiang Wei I know.

I now have some understanding of the situation on Sikong Yue's family side. The country where her family and family company are located is an archipelago country, which is also a developed country. The economy is very good, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and most commodities can be self-sufficient.

Their family company mainly produces high-tech products, such as computer CPUs, graphics cards, etc., but they have always been developed and sold to people in the country, and rarely exported.

Because that country is so "comfortable" and has abundant resources, the life concepts of the people there have been different from ours decades ago. For example, a farmer would rent a piece of rural land to raise cattle and sheep, and in his spare time he would go back to his cabin to read the news and play games. Their original intention of doing this was not to make a lot of money, but to find a job, and they like farming very much. It doesn't matter whether they do it well or not, as long as they can support themselves and enjoy life.

When I was looking up relevant information on the Internet, I saw a similar report saying that the archipelago where the country of Xiongxiong is located is mainly based on agriculture because of its superior resources and climatic conditions. However, if you go to the farmers there to discuss cooperation, ask them to sacrifice some rest time, expand the scale and plant a few more acres of land, or build a few more farms, and export the surplus to make a lot of money, others will think you are crazy, and then say that their life is good enough.

This is the case with the company that Xiong Xiong works for. Their company’s logo is an elf, and the company name is translated as “Gloriosa” or “Garland”. The original meaning is “Gloriosa”. The elf in the logo also represents the purity and beauty like Gloriosa, and it does not have too many special meanings.

The CPUs and graphics cards produced by this company have basically been sold only domestically for decades. This is the first time they have gone abroad. The first agent they looked for was... an individual merchant like Jiang Wei?

"He said his name was Jiang Wei."

Probably not expecting me to show this expression, Xiong Xiong, who was driving, explained: "I used to write books on Yaedo Novel Network, and my pen name was Marisa's Iron Butt."

That means he is right.

"Do you want him to be your graphics card agent?"

I was a little curious: "I remember Jiang Wei sold his first store and moved all his assets here to live out his retirement, didn't he?"

"I'm not sure about this."

Xiong Xiong smiled and said, "It was the family's decision to cooperate with him."

"A public version of the Apocalypse graphics card?"

"Ah."

At an intersection without traffic lights, Xiong Xiong saw two elderly people trying to cross the road. He slowed down and stopped in front of the zebra crossing, then turned around and said, "Actually, the ones sold on the market now are all public versions of the Apocalypse series. We have never authorized chips to other manufacturers."

When Jiang Wei gave me that computer, I went online to learn some knowledge about graphics cards and learned what a "public version graphics card" and a "non-public graphics card" are.

A public version graphics card is one that is independently designed by the manufacturer after the manufacturer develops the chip itself, without any modification. A non-public version is one that some agents cooperate with the manufacturer, obtain chips and other materials, modify them into various shapes and then sell them to the outside world.

Obviously, Jiang Wei is just a relatively successful computer dealer and does not have the ability to... independently modify the appearance of graphics cards and pile up materials. Otherwise, Jiang Wei would have no time to write novels part-time and would not have known me when I was once penniless.

In fact, this is normal. The Xiongxiong family’s company is not well-known. If they want to expand the market, they can only find this kind of "individual business owner" to practice.

But I didn't expect that they would find Jiang Wei directly.

Didn't Jiang Wei say before that he was ready to live a normal life? Why did he suddenly go to work with graphics card dealers?

"We are planning to look for an individual business owner who has a certain influence on the Internet and has been running a store for many years with a good reputation. I have been in the reader group of Marisa's Tiejiri for a long time and have talked to him a lot. I have a general idea of ​​what kind of person he is. Considering that he has a lot of fans online and has not been involved in any shady dealings over the years, people who have bought his computers say that he is an honest person with good after-sales service."

Probably seeing the puzzled expression on my face through the rearview mirror, Xiong Xiong explained: "Plus, he seems to be planning to expand his business recently, so we decided to cooperate with him."

Jiang Wei has plans to expand his business recently? I remember he said so half a month ago.

"Then we can go together."

Although I was very curious about the reason, considering that whether or not there was a lack of money was Jiang Wei's family affair, I did not ask Xiong Xiong about their cooperation in detail. Instead, I casually asked a question that I was a little confused about when I looked up Xiong Xiong's company: "Speaking of Sister Sikong Yue, in your country...are all people's surnames Hua?"

This was also the question that I was most curious about when I was watching "The Age of Aquarius". There are also many discussions about the protagonist Jia Lanshuo on the Internet. What people are most confused about is his last name, Jia Lan.

In the setting, the protagonist of "The Age of Aquarius" Jia Lanshuo comes from a country that speaks three languages. The surnames of the people there are all flowers, such as Lily, Hyacinth, Carnation, etc., and Jia Lanshuo's surname is Jia Lan, a double surname.

Historically, there are many double surnames here, such as Ouyang, Murong, Zhuge, Sima... Even Xiongxiong's passport name here is a double surname: Sikong.

But this is the first time I have heard of the surname "Jia Lan". Precisely because this surname is a "flower name", people have been guessing online whether "Jia Lan" has a prototype in reality, whether there really is such a country where all the names are flower names, and some even believe that what happened in 2012 has actually happened, and that we are now on a planet very similar to the Earth, except that we also call it "Earth".

As an extension of this, countless people who felt unsatisfied after watching "The Age of Aquarius" have set up a "Detail Group" to specifically study various details in the movie. The surname "Garland" is just one of the links in these people's research. They believe that people with the surname Garland actually have a prototype in the country of Xiongxiong. They believe that since the movie is sponsored by the Garland Company, there must be some unspeakable secrets. Garland is just one of the codes. If they continue digging along this clue, they will probably find a lot of evidence that "The Age of Aquarius has arrived."

What surprised me the most was that I saw a post that actually said that "Pluto was kicked out of the nine planets" because "the new galaxy found by the salvationists did not have Pluto" and "we who are now living on the 'Earth' are just clones of the original body, and our original body is on the real Earth."

"No, those weird analysis posts on the Internet are all fake."

Perhaps knowing what I wanted to ask, Sikong Yue took the initiative to explain: "The reason why the protagonist of the movie is named Jia Lan is just because our company's name is Jia Lan Technology Co., Ltd., and it serves as an advertisement. The movie is fictional, there is no Aquarius era and no Jia Lan family..."

So that's how it is.

I also think that netizens are too sensitive.

"If we both want to find Mr. Jiang Wei, then it's easy. I can just drive to his house to discuss cooperation with him. After we've discussed it, we can go to the comic convention together."

After the two elderly men in front of him crossed the zebra crossing, Xiong Xiong started the car: "Can I ask you something? What do you want to see Mr. Jiang Wei about?"

"Oh, it's just... it's equivalent to paying the balance."

I said casually, "We bought a computer from him before and paid a deposit. Now the computer has arrived, we're going to pay the balance and catch up with him."

"I see. It looks like you two are quite familiar with each other."

"Ah... they are all authors. We were in the same author group before."

"It turns out that the rumors about the Yaedou authors knowing each other were true."

"My acquaintance with Jiang Wei is just a coincidence. In fact, I am more familiar with Pipi. Do you know the divine pet Pipi? He is also the author of Yaedo."

"Yes, his books dominated the rankings of Yaedo at that time. He was considered an old author. I was also one of his readers. I remember that he had a daughter who bothered him so much that he had no time to write."

"Xiongxiong is really sociable..."

"It's just so-so. I've joined a lot of reader groups, but I don't talk much. But I do often watch people chatting in the groups."

"..."

While chatting casually with Xiongxiong, the car slowly drove out of the Minaminagi District and drove onto the first Kamihama Bridge in Kamihama City. We crossed the bridge full of light tubes and arrived at the relatively deserted prosperous road in the Rongyao District.

Actually, I’m not surprised that Xiong Xiong knows Jiang Wei and the others.

Because Xiongxiong herself is the legendary "rich lolita" at Yaedo. Not only has she joined a lot of author groups, her personal account at Yaedo is also top-level. She is one of those "氪金 accounts" that have reached the top of the experience points by rewarding novels. At that time, many people were guessing whether Xiongxiong was the young master of some wealthy family, but they didn't expect that she was actually a young lady.

Speaking of which, Xiongxiong's figure is so good even when he is wearing this bear costume. I am a little envious... Ahem, no, why should I, a macho guy, be envious?

After a while, Xiong Xiong drove to the community where Jiang Wei lived.

"Excuse me, please show me your pass."

Probably because he was frightened by the appearance of Xiongxiong's "QQ car" and felt that such a small car with a strong "second dimension" flavor should not belong to the owner of this place, the security guard in charge of guarding the door did not help to pull up the lifting pole, but chose to walk out of the security booth and knocked on the car window: "What are you doing here?"

"My friend is the owner of this place, we came to hang out with him, just for half an hour."

Xiong Xiong rolled down the window and gave the security guard a big smile. Then he took out a hundred-dollar bill and said, "Uncle, please be flexible."

"Oh……"

I guess the security guard was also shocked by Xiong Xiong's generosity. In addition, Xia Mo, Xiong Xiong and I were all "beautiful girls". He took the money and was stunned for three seconds before coming to his senses: "Well, you try to come back before noon, okay?"

"it is good!"

I closed the car window, watched the railing in front rise, and drove into the community.

“Actually, you don’t have to pay.”

I felt a little distressed: "Just call Jiang Wei and ask him to tell the security guard."

"It's our custom over there to tip the waiters. It's a habit."

Xiong Xiong had an indifferent expression: "It doesn't matter, security guards are also working people and deserve awards."

"..."

This makes me say what good about you.

I guess Xiongxiong has her considerations. After all, she will discuss business with Jiang Wei in a while. If she has to trouble Jiang Wei to help open the door for something like entering the house, will it give Jiang Wei a feeling that... "We are people from a big company, but we can't even handle the security."

I'm not a businessman, so I don't know.

"You guys get off here, I'll drive the car to the front and stop."

We parked the car at the entrance of Zilanyuan and Xiongxiong helped us open the back door.

"Ah."

Xiaomo and I got out of the car: "We'll wait for you here."

"it is good."

As I watched Xiongxiong drive the car to the parking lot, Xiaomo beside me pointed at the rabbit backpack behind me and said, "By the way, Nuoer, there's something I forgot to tell you."

I turned around curiously: "What's going on?"

"Do you remember the centaur Dolly I mentioned to you before?"

"remember."

I nodded: "This is the first centaur girl that the hero from another world has met. They have a good relationship."

"The Centaur tribe uses a name inheritance system. When I passed by the Centaur tribe on my way back, I happened to meet Dolly's daughter. Now this daughter has inherited Dolly's name. Centaurs spend almost their entire lives running, but because there is no war in the other world anymore, the former Dolly, the warhorse that the brave man rode at the time, hopes to send Dolly here so that we can give her daughter a job, preferably one related to running."

In the warm sunshine, Yin Xiamo said something shocking:

"I think in two or three days, little Dolly will be here."

"..."

……

No. 270 Let the three thousand falling flowers in the dream

At No. 107, Zilanyuan, a high-end residential area in Rongyao District, Shenbin City, Jiang Wei warmly welcomed Xiaomo, Xiongxiong and me who were dressed in Cosplay costumes.

"Sometimes I always feel that it is so nice to meet a group of good friends like you who share the same hobbies."

On the second floor of the house, Jiang Wei took us to the soft sofa in the living room and sat down. His girlfriend... oh no, I should call her wife now. Jiang Wei's wife Ye Zi went to the kitchen and brought a large bowl of fruit and fruit milk and put it on the coffee table: "Try it, this is local fresh milk, the shelf life is only three days, it just arrived this morning."

"Thank you."

I took a small bowl, raised the big spoon, and scooped myself a small spoonful of milk fruit slices.

Maybe it was because I was in "elf form" at the time, the "natural food" such as fruit milk in front of me seemed to have some kind of fatal temptation to me, especially the various fruits, which made me want to take a bite of them.

Jiang Wei's family has a rich variety of fruits, such as these... strawberries, kiwis, mangoes, and this... this should be kiwis, right? Paired with local fresh milk, the rich fruity aroma and milky flavor instantly made me unable to take my eyes away.

"Nuo'er is still the same as I remember, a little greedy cat."

Seeing me eating without hesitation as if I were at home, Jiang Wei at the side said with a smile: "If it's not enough, there are still a lot at home. Do you want to eat coconut? I'll open one for you."

"No, no, these are enough."

I felt a little embarrassed: "We are visiting your home, so we should buy some fruit..."

As a southern city, Kamihama City has a pleasant climate. In addition to seafood, the output of various fruits is actually very amazing. Similar to the "Medicinal Plant Garden" in the Glory District, there are many "off-season fruit plantations" here. Even if the fruits are not in season, hardworking farmers can grow them in greenhouses.

As the saying goes, “Look, there are no melons at this time of year; these are all grown in greenhouses.” Kamihama City is also famous for its “off-season fruits.”

It’s just that this kind of fruit is a little expensive.

What impressed me most in the fruit shop before was that a customer bought a durian that was said to be of particularly good quality. When he checked out, it cost 120 yuan. Some seedless watermelons that were out of season could be sold for or yuan each if they were large. So even though the price of fruits in our country is relatively cheap, it is still very novel for me to be able to eat so many kinds of fruits when I am a guest in someone else's home.

Maybe this has something to do with my poor social skills.

"No, no, no, if you really buy fruit here, then you don't consider us your friends anymore."

Seeing that Yin Xiamo didn't move, Jiang Wei took the initiative to pick up the spoon and bowl and helped her scoop a bowl of milk fruit: "Try it, my wife made it these days, she said it's very delicious."

"Well……"

Yin Xiamo took the bowl, tried a piece of strawberry in it, and took a sip of milk: "This taste reminds me of the milk I drank in the village when I was a child."

"Right? This is fresh milk from our city. I asked a friend to get it directly from the factory."

Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Fresh milk is different from pure milk. The nutrients in fresh milk can be better preserved, but the shelf life is also shorter, usually only three days to a week. Pure milk loses a lot of nutrients after high-temperature sterilization, but it has a long shelf life and is easy to transport. I only understood this after learning some knowledge about milk recently."

"pretty good."

Yin Xiamo glanced at me and said, "Let Nuo'er eat more. She never likes to eat at home. Her breasts haven't grown at all even though they are so big."

"Hey!"
