"Thank you."

【1129 Happy birthday to me =w= meow】

No. 286 A fruitful holiday

Under the introduction of the young man "Zheng Zisheng", Xiaomo and I bought a lot of snacks in his store.

Maybe it's because I'm in an elf state, my appetite for meat has decreased greatly, but my appetite for fruit has increased exponentially. In addition to pork jerky, beef jerky, squid shreds, and dried fish, there are also a lot of jellies, tortoise jelly, and canned fruits.

The only thing I worry about with pork jerky and beef jerky is the hygiene. Just like spicy noodles, different brands of meat jerky are different. I used to get a stomachache when I ate a certain brand of spicy noodles, but not when I ate another brand. This time, because there was a youth guarantee, I was not too worried about the pork jerky here.

Have some pork jerky and beef jerky, some shredded squid, small spicy fish and small eels produced locally in Minaminagi Ward, Kamihama City, and then some jelly with fruit pulp and various canned fruits.

What surprised me was that the tortoise jelly sold here comes in many flavors, including a chrysanthemum tea flavor that is said to clear away heat and relieve internal heat, a sweet honey flavor, and a refreshing flavor with local herbal tea.

According to the young man himself, he studied civil engineering and worked at a small construction site after graduation. Later, he made some progress, but his superiors saw that he was diligent and asked him to work overtime day and night. As the environment of the construction site was bad, far away from the city, the food was poor, and the sky was full of dust, the young man fell ill several times. The leader deducted his salary for this reason. When his girlfriend, whom he had met in college, saw this state of the young man, she broke up with him on the grounds that "you have no ambition".

The young man didn't believe that his girlfriend would break up with him, so he ran to her city. When he saw that she was with her new boyfriend, he returned home heartbroken. The company that he had originally taken leave from deducted his bonus on the grounds of "absenteeism without reason". Coincidentally, his father was diagnosed with a terminal illness and died within a few months.

That day was the young man's birthday. He gritted his teeth and went to the hospital for a full physical examination. As a result, he met me who was taking the sick Ouyang Xue to the hospital, and we took the same bus.

Zheng Zisheng said that he actually didn't know where to go at the time. His father's funeral had just passed, his home was in a mess, and his girlfriend was gone. The doctor also told him that if he continued doing this job, it would have a great impact on his health. After he left the hospital alone, he was full of wild thoughts and had thoughts of committing suicide.

The bus I took back happened to pass through Minaminagi Port. As long as I got off there, I could take the bus to Kamihama Bridge.

"I know my thoughts are childish, but I really feel like I'm at the end of my rope. It's like nothing matters anymore. Family, love, work... they're all gone."

"But I really didn't expect to meet you on the bus that day. At that moment, I really thought I met an angel. You are more beautiful than the girls I saw on the Internet who have been beautified..."

While helping us pack the things we had chosen, the young man said with emotion:

"After you helped me pick up the knife and fork, my mind went blank. By the time I realized what was happening, the bus had already reached the terminal, which was the road near the Blue Sea and Silver Sand. I got off the bus, held the birthday cake, found a spot where I could see the sea, and ate the cake by myself."

"I looked at the sea, and looked at it... Then I came to my senses. The sea is so vast, and I am just an insignificant human being. The dead cannot be resurrected. If you fail, you can just start over. What does this little hardship mean to me?"

"At that time, I remembered that an uncle had told me a long time ago that he was in need of an agent, and if I was interested, I could go to him. At that time, I had just graduated from college and felt that I had studied civil engineering for four years in college, and it was a bit of a mismatch to start a business, so I didn't agree. Now I think it's more open-minded. Anyway, we are all living together, and it's the same every day. I called my uncle."

"That uncle was very nice to me. He taught me step by step for half a month, and helped me get familiar with how to purchase goods, how to manage, and how to do accounts. He also lent me money and let me open a store in Dadong District. Then I realized... being my own boss is pretty easy, although I don't make much after deducting the rent every month."

After pressing the beep button a few times on the machine, without seeming to look at the price, the young man handed a large pile of packed items to Yin Xiamo and me: "Give us a hundred yuan together, don't you want to order anything else?"

"Only a hundred?"

I looked at the pile of things in my hands in surprise: "Are you sure it's 20% off and not 50% off?"

In the elf state, I can control the weight of the things in my hands quite accurately. Combined with my experience of working in a coffee shop and holding cats, I can feel that the things in my hands are at least as heavy as a small cat, which is about six to eight kilograms.

If I remember correctly, things like pork jerky and squid shreds are dehydrated, so their prices are definitely higher than buying pork or squid directly. Jelly and tortoise jelly are also relatively expensive snacks. Xiaomo and I couldn't buy all this stuff for less than 180 or 200 yuan.

"Yes, it's one hundred and thirteen dollars after the discount. I'll give you a zero, so it's one hundred dollars."

The young man seemed to be not very good at lying. He pointed to the scale in front of him and said, "Of course you can give 113."

"Now it's all cash payment, no need to round off."

I took out my phone, scanned the QR code, and dialed 113.

"Do you own a store in the Dadong District?"

"Yes."

The young man smiled in a relaxed manner, completely different from his lifeless appearance at that time: "My uncle is the general agent of this snack brand in Shenbin City. Snacks sell better in Dadong District, which is a tourist destination!"

“Is there an online store?”

"Yes!"

The young man took out his phone and clicked on it a few times: "Just search for 'Shinbin Specialty Baby Eel', the first store is mine, I bought a promotion these days."

I tried searching the store the young man mentioned: "Is this the one... Paparoti snacks?"

"Yep."

I clicked on the "Follow" button and mentioned the snacks: "Why did you think of opening a store at the comic convention?"

"We're just holding an event here. The comic exhibition held by Tongmeng.com is pretty good. The rental fee for one day is only over 300 yuan."

The young man looked at the restroom not far away with some embarrassment: "It's just that I was late, and the location I chose was not very good."

"It doesn't matter..."

There are three restrooms in the Science and Technology Museum. The largest one is not far from the entrance, with the changing room next to it. It can be said that it is the busiest and most familiar restroom to tourists, because you can see it as soon as you enter the door, and most people will go there to relieve themselves when they need to. The second restroom is behind the stage. Passersby who are interested in Jialan’s computer products probably know that place. As for the third restroom... at least from the time we found this store to the time we chose snacks, I didn’t see anyone go in.

That should mean "spare restroom", and it's quite a distance from here. Even in elf mode, I can't smell anything over there, so theoretically... there's nothing wrong with the location of his snack shop, but passers-by might feel uncomfortable when they see a "restroom" sign hanging in the passage behind.

"Then I wish your business prospers."

Seeing that the time was almost up, I took Xiaomo's hand and said, "Let's go back."

"well."

The young man waved at us: "Be careful, are you still studying?"

"No, we work as waiters at a coffee shop in the Minami-Nagi district."

I pointed to the stage in the distance and said, "You know that Tongmeng website, right? Our coffee shop is sponsored by Tongmeng website."

"Oh, I heard that there's a maid cafe in Kamihama where you can pet cats. Recently, everyone in my circle of friends has been talking about it. I was too busy to pay attention, and I didn't expect you guys to work there."

The young man showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "No wonder, if it was you, I can understand why that store is so popular."

"Ahahaha...it's just luck."

I smiled and said, "You can come and play when you have time. I'll give you 20% off as well."

"Thanks, I'll be there."

"..."

After saying goodbye to the young man, Xiaomo and I returned to the computer accessories store next to the Xiongxiong Company, carrying our bulging rabbit backpacks and lots of bags in our hands.

Apart from anything else, the young man did a good job of packaging the snacks for us. Each type of snack was classified and packed in small bags, and then put into a small box printed with "Paparoti". Xiao Heizi then put the snacks in a paper bag.

I feel that even if I finish the snacks inside after I get home, I can still keep the small box and the paper bag and use them for other things.

"You guys are here? You bought so many things?"

In the store, Xiong Xiong was standing next to a grass-green computer with two men wearing sunglasses who looked like Latinos. When he saw Xiao Mo and I coming back, Xiong Xiong, who had changed back into normal clothes, waved over and said, "The computer is installed. Are you ready to go back?"

"So big?!"

I trotted over and looked at the computer on the desk.

Its case was the same as the computers in the basement of the cafe, a "full tower," the largest kind.

My initial visual estimate showed that the chassis was at least 60 centimeters long, nearly 30 centimeters wide, and 50 to 60 centimeters high.

The outer shell of the chassis is mostly made of metal, with glass on the left and right sides. There is also a small translucent door on the right side, through which you can see the circuits inside.

It is obvious that the person who helped assemble this computer is a veteran. The wires behind the chassis are arranged very neatly and beautifully. Each wire is tied up with cable ties and then fixed to the metal plate behind the computer.

Looking from the front, the main colors of this computer are grass green, light green and sky blue, with many four-leaf clovers and elves patterns. Through the glass, you can see that most of the accessories inside are also based on "nature", "leaves" and "elves". The power supply position below is separated by two baffles, and lamp beads are buried inside the baffles. When the lights are on, the elves and small leaves on the baffles are lifelike.

In addition to these, the fan, motherboard, graphics card, radiator and even the graphics card bracket inside the case are painted grass green, and matched with some sparkling lights. It is refreshing at first glance, as if this case is the elf queen located in the forest.

"Not bad, right? This is something we made especially for Nuoer today."

When Xiaomo and I approached, Xiongxiong pointed at the water-cooling radiator on the CPU, which had an elf flapping its wings, and said, "There is only one graphics card in the country. We are debugging the secondary screen, and it will be ready soon."

As if to confirm Xiongxiong's words, as soon as she finished speaking, a small screen slowly rose up from the side of the power shield with a "buzzing" sound. The screen was also mainly grass green, and there was an official portrait of Nashida on it. Next to the portrait was clear machine data -

[Chip usage: 1%, chip temperature: 41°, graphics card usage: 6%, graphics card temperature: 48°, memory usage: 8%, motherboard temperature: 35°, hard disk temperature: 49°]

"Okay, roasting the chicken for fifteen minutes is fine, the pass rate is 99%, and the secondary screen is perfectly compatible, that's it."

As if relieved, Xiong Xiong casually brushed his blond hair behind him, then turned to the two Latino men wearing sunglasses and said, "Let me introduce you. These two are my good friends and the most important figures in the cooperation project of my company. You can regard their words as my words, and any requests you have are my orders, and you must satisfy them."

"Yes! Miss!"

After hearing what Xiong Xiong said, the two bodyguards turned to Xiao Mo and me and said in broken Mandarin: "Hello! Thank you for your guidance!"

"It's too exaggerated."

I felt a little embarrassed, so I had to change the subject to the computer: "Is this... heavy?"

Xiongxiong showed a sinister expression: "Can you try to see if you can move it?"

"Try it."

I put the things I bought on the table, walked to the computer case, grabbed the bottom of the case with both hands, and then exerted force suddenly -

"Alas!"

The chassis didn't move at all.

How many kilograms does this weigh?

"Let me see."

Yin Xiamo also walked over, stretched out a hand, and easily lifted the case up a few centimeters with a "pop".

This scene made the two security guards nearby stare in amazement.

"Yeah, not bad, about as heavy as two Noles."

Letting go of her hand, Yin Xiamo acted as if nothing had happened: "It's about the same as estimated."

Two Noels are that heavy?!

My brain started working like crazy.

It is known that... I weigh 28 kg in my normal state, but I will be lighter in elf mode, let's say 20 kg, then if there are two of me... 40 kg?

This chassis weighs 80 kilograms? !

"This thing is really similar to a girl. In China, we jokingly call it the 'masculine detangling device' because if an adult male cannot lift this case, it is like he cannot lift his girlfriend, and basically he has to say goodbye to dating."

Xiong Xiong combed his long hair and said, "If there is no problem, I will ask the bodyguard to pack the host and then I will take you back."

Maybe because today's event was very successful, a lot of people came to this "Jialan Computer Accessories Store" at this time. People kept coming in to ask about the configuration and try out various computer accessories. There were many "complete machines" like the one in front of us, and most of these machines came with their own "themes", such as the "Zhongli theme" with black and brown matching each other, the "Yae Goddess" theme with pink little foxes, and the "Alicia" and "Yae Sakura" themes with cherry blossoms as the main themes.

Originally, I wondered how ordinary computer accessories could be related to the "second dimension", but now I understand.

Here, even the color scheme of the notebooks is different from the big, black and thick ones of ordinary brands. There are all kinds of notebooks with cherry blossom colors, black and white colors, blue sky and sea colors. Many girls can't walk when they see these small and cute notebooks, and they follow their besties or boyfriends to choose computers in the store.

"This one is really beautiful, with a martial arts style."

"This should be their main 2D elf image, right? So fresh and clean..."

"Does their CPU water cooling radiator also come with a small screen? It's the same price as the Valkyrie. I wonder how effective it is."

As I was looking on in surprise, Xiong Xiong's two bodyguards - muscular men with wheat-colored hair, each on one side, carried the computer host away, while another person helped to take various wires over.

"I'll drive to your house later and ask them to help move the computer to your room and install it."

As he spoke, Xiongxiong's attention fell on the bags in Xiaomo and I's hands: "What are these? Food?"

"Yes."

I picked up a bag of Paparoti Sesame Pork Jerky and pointed to the store not far away: "I just met an acquaintance, he also has a store here, we asked him to buy some, do you want to eat it?"

"want!"

Xiong Xiong took a piece of pork jerky and opened it: "Wow! How much is this?"

"I don't know either. We weighed them together."

I felt a little embarrassed: "You already gave us a computer, so let's forget about the money."

"Hey, actually we are making quite a bit of money. My dad just said that because of you, our press conference today was at least twice as effective, and it also increased the company's reputation. We can also sell a lot of things later on. This cannot be measured by just a computer."

Xiong Xiong, who always had a cheerful personality, opened the pork jerky in front of us and walked towards the exit while eating: "Let's go... Mmm, this is delicious. I'll go drive the car, you guys just wait for us downstairs."
