Cultivation Shura Field

Song Xingye patted the youth literature in his hand again: "Then, what about this one?"

Xu Zhe: "This is true."

Song Xingye: "Do you only read famous books?"

Xu Zhe: "No, I also read online novels, but the female-oriented ones... those written for girls, I really haven't read them."

Song Xingye couldn't help but ask: "What kind of books are written for boys?"

Xu Zhe thought about it. Considering the current era, most of the online novels that he later liked the most have not yet been released. And some of the online novels that have already been released, due to the scale, don't seem to be suitable to be picked out and talked about with little girls.

After thinking for a while, he thought of several book titles that he had read and must have been published by now.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light, Infinite Terror..."

Song Xingye shrank back and became a little nervous: "Do you like horror novels?"

Xu Zhe: "These two are not that scary, and they are not ghost stories. And I also like to watch comedy stories like The First Chaos in History."

Song Xingye: "I have heard of Ghost Blowing Out the Light, but I have never heard of the other two."

Xu Zhe: "But there are a lot of people who like it online. If you're interested in it later, I can find it for you. Now, the break time is so short, why don't you hurry up and read?"

Song Xingye opened the book "Summer's Desire", hesitated for two seconds, and asked again: "Do you want to read it with me?"

Xu Zhe shook his head: "I read too fast, I can't read with you."

Song Xingye still didn't quite believe it: "I think I am a person who reads a lot. I have read the four great classics and many foreign classics...but you seem to have read more books than me. You study so well, where do you have so much time?"

Xu Zhe: "Time is like a sponge. If you squeeze it, you can always squeeze out some."

Song Xingye shook his head and said nothing more, then lowered his head to read.

Xu Zhe picked up a piece of paper and a pen and started to get busy. He had already accepted a new outsourcing job, and it was a lot of work with low pay, so he had no choice. In order to make full use of the still limited computer time, he still had to sort out the code ideas in advance and outline a lot of logic on paper.

The girl next to him, while reading, turned her head and glanced at him secretly.

After a brief glance, she lowered her head and continued reading.

Most of the other places in the classroom were noisy, especially in the last row, where a group of people gathered around Gao Xuefei. As they chatted, they burst into loud laughter.

The noise from other people wasn't as loud as those boys, but the noise from the chattering in groups of three or four, with boys and girls mixed together, made it hard to calm down.

However, Xu Zhe and Song Xingye in the front row seemed to be in a soundproof space, concentrating on reading, writing and drawing.

Song Xingye didn't say a word until the bell rang again. But in this silence that was the same as before, she felt something different. Leisure? Relaxed? Peace of mind? She couldn't explain it herself.

Chapter 19 019 Three People Tour

2023-09-06

It was another weekend, and Xu Zhe did not stay at home. Instead, he took his PSP game console and went out early in the morning.

Today is the day I made an appointment with two girls to go to the bookstore.

As soon as he went out, he met Tang Lingfei in the community.

The weather was getting cooler in October, and the girl looked neat and tidy in her blue jeans and a denim jacket of the same color. She looked at Xu Zhe with empty hands and asked, "What's in your bag?"

"It should be something you are interested in."

"What? Show me now!"

"Well, that's it."

Xu Zhe took out the game console from his schoolbag. The almost pure black body when the screen was off, the three silver letters "PSP" on the back panel, and the texture made every kid who loved playing games unable to take their eyes away.

Tang Lingfei: "I know, it's a game console given to you by someone in the tour group!"

Xu Zhe: "My mom gave this to me a few days ago. I can bring it out for you to play with on weekends."

"What do you mean by play with me?" The girl's face was half surprised and half puzzled. "Don't you want to play by yourself?"

Xu Zhe smiled and shook his head.

After playing games ten years later, it was hard for him to get excited about the graphics and gameplay of this era. He had played PSP a few times in the past two days, and felt that the main attraction was nostalgia. Let Tang Lingfei play it, and the utilization rate of this game console could be even higher.

Tang Lingfei took the PSP, and only with Xu Zhe's guidance did she know how to turn it on and how to select a game.

Xu Zhe: "I recommend these, Ridge Racer, Monster Hunter, God of War, and Final Fantasy."

Tang Lingfei: "Which one is the most fun?"

Xu Zhe: "You've already opened Final Fantasy, why don't you give it a try?"

Then Tang Lingfei stood there and started playing.

Ten minutes later, Xu Zhe had to urge: "We should go, Song Xingye might have already arrived at the bookstore."

"Okay, okay, let's go now..."

Tang Lingfei took a step forward, but she didn't stop playing the game in her hand. She lowered her head and played the game while walking.

"Leave this to me for safekeeping." Xu Zhe snatched the PSP from her hand and stuffed it into his schoolbag.

"Hey, no, give it to me!"

"If you don't give it to me, don't grab it."

"I'm going to grab it!"

"Did I tickle you?"

"No scratching!"

The girl who was about to come and grab the things with her arms and legs bared, jumped away holding her waist.

----

The bookstore that the three of them had agreed to meet at was near the school. Turn right after leaving the school gate and it was only a few dozen meters away.

Xu Zhe and Tang Lingfei arrived after ten o'clock, and Song Xingye was already waiting at the door.

The usually quiet girl looked more like an orchid in the valley today. She was wearing an apricot-yellow dress, with white and slender calves, small leather shoes and white socks underneath the skirt.

She stood at the door of the bookstore, with her hands behind her back, looking up at the clouds in the blue sky. She didn't notice the pedestrians around her, but passers-by often couldn't help but take a second look at this delicate girl.

Xu Zhe walked over and asked, "You didn't wait too long, did you?"

Song Xingye came back to his senses and looked at him, smiling: "Not long. I've only been here for a few minutes. By the way, I just saw someone in the school, probably a high school student."

Tang Lingfei, who was following Xu Zhe, couldn't help but be shocked: "High school students still have to go to school on Saturday?"

Xu Zhe chuckled: "What do you think? Not only do we have classes on Saturdays, but we also have to do homework on Sundays. When we get to high school, we have to do a lot of homework. Do you know what a lot of homework is?"

Tang Lingfei shook her head vigorously.

Song Xingye: "From what you said, it seems like you know a lot about what high school is like."

Xu Zhe: "It's okay, I just consulted some seniors for experience."

"Have you started preparing for high school?" Song Xingye couldn't help but sigh, "You're amazing. You're only in the first year of junior high school, but you're thinking so far ahead."

"You don't have to think so highly of me..."

At this time, the three of them had already entered the bookstore. Each of them had a very clear goal, so they separated temporarily.

Tang Lingfei went straight to the comics section, while Song Xingye quickly found the section for romantic youth literature. As for Xu Zhe, he wandered over to the magazine section and flipped through Computer World.

"This will go bankrupt in a dozen years, right?"

Xu Zhe muttered to himself and flipped open the magazine to take a look. The magazine was full of current IT industry information, including new computer configurations. But in the latest issue, there wasn't much news about mobile Internet.

"Few people can foresee the coming of a big wave. We must hurry up..."

He sighed and put the magazine back.

Then I turned around and went to a deeper corner of the bookstore, looking for books on computer languages ​​and algorithms. After searching for a long time, I finally found a thick book called "Introduction to Algorithms" on the top shelf of a shelf at the back. The cover had these four Chinese characters, but when I opened the book, the text was all in English.

The dense English gave Xu Zhe a headache.

When I was in college, this book was highly recommended by my teacher, but not many students in the entire major have actually read it, including Xu Zhe.

He wanted to catch up on his studies, but the English version was still too difficult to read. He searched again but still couldn't find the Chinese version.

After opening it again and reading a few pages, Xu Zhe gritted his teeth and did not put it back on the bookshelf - let it be the English version, just take it as an exercise to improve himself.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Lingfei's voice came from behind.

Xu Zhe turned around and saw this childhood sweetheart holding a comic book, standing not far away and looking at him. To be more precise, she was looking at the heavy book in his hand.

Tang Lingfei came over to take a look: "Algorithm... Introduction? What is this?"

Xu Zhe: "Didn't I say that I am more interested in computers now?"

The book was still in his hand, but Tang Lingfei could half-open the cover and look inside. Then she saw that it was all in English.

"You must be able to understand it!" the girl said disdainfully. "I grew up with you, how good is your English? Why are you pretending in front of me?"

Xu Zhe: "Then I also ranked first in the class in the monthly English exam. Did you know that?"

"This……"

Tang Lingfei was speechless.

Although they grew up together, this guy has changed a lot recently. Thinking about it carefully, it seems to have started from that dangerous trip... Thinking of this, the girl's gaze on him became much softer.

Xu Zhe: "What are you thinking about?"

Tang Lingfei fiddled with her hair: "Come to think of it, you are my savior."

"As long as you know."

Xu Zhe's tone illustrates what it means to be unromantic.

Chapter 20 It's all drama

2023-09-06

Xu Zhe was very satisfied with what he gained in the bookstore today.

When I was a kid, I only knew that this bookstore had comics, mystery novels, science fiction novels, etc. Now that I have really looked for it, I found that there are also many professional books. Especially books on computers. After a lot of careful selection, I really found what I needed.

In his previous life, Xu Zhe was just an ordinary outsourced programmer. His technical skills were enough to allow him to live a leisurely life as a otaku, but that was all.

Of course, he was not willing to just live a life of ease and comfort in this life. Since he had the advantage of foresight, he naturally had to make use of it. And this required stronger and more comprehensive abilities.

So he chose an algorithm book, a hardware book, two computer language books, and two mathematics books.

The little boy, about 1.5 meters tall, looked a little funny holding such a thick stack of books.

When he walked to the cashier, the clerk couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you want to buy these?"

"Yes."

"Introduction to Algorithms, C++ Language, Kids, you..."

"Any questions?" Xu Zhe took out three hundred-dollar bills from his pocket.

The clerk hesitated to speak, scanned the barcode and took the payment.

After paying, Xu Zhe put the books into the storage box and went to the comics area to find Tang Lingfei. He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost noon, time to eat.

However, there was a group of children of the same age or even younger in the comics area, but Tang Lingfei was not there.

Xu Zhe could only go to the youth literature section.

As a result, I saw Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye sitting together, reading the same book side by side.

The two girls were reading a magazine with a cover that was based on romantic literature. Xu Zhe wanted to get closer to see what they were concentrating on, but he changed his mind and gave up.

Perhaps it was the psychological trauma from his previous life, he still resisted getting too close to others, especially the opposite sex.

Xu Zhe stood in front of them and whispered, "You two are quite smart. There are so few seats in the bookstore, but you guys were able to occupy them. Tang Lingfei, have you also developed the same interests and hobbies as classmate Song Xingye?"

Song Xingye looked up at him, feeling a little embarrassed.
