Fallen Star: Second Earth

He was about to sit down when suddenly he tripped over something.

"Isn't it hard to use your eyes at a young age?" A bearded man next to his seat said loudly. He bent down and picked up the thing that Li Qingfeng tripped over just now. It was a black square box. Looking at his face that has been ravaged by time always gives people a terrifying feeling. Li Qingfeng felt that he really didn't see the box under his feet just now.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't see that little box just now," Li Qingfeng said politely. After all, I ended up tripping over the little box myself. "If you really damage something inside, I can pay you for it."

The man looked at Li Qingfeng and said with disdain: "If something inside me breaks, even if your father is the richest man in the world, he won't be able to pay for it. But fortunately, nothing will happen to it."

Li Qingfeng thought for a while, and he remembered that his brother had indeed launched many projects, and even Li Qingfeng didn't know how much money he made. It's just that there is no ranking of rich people now, there is only a list of good deeds in China. Nowadays, people's ideas have undergone earth-shaking changes. Money can only be known to people at that time, and only the virtuous can drift further in the long river of time.

"But since you kicked it, you have to pay for it." The man stared at Li Qingfeng.

Li Qingfeng frowned. He always felt that this person was doing an outdated trick - touching porcelain. However, he saw that the man's clothes were very shabby, and he felt some pity in his heart. He asked: "How much do you need me to accompany you? As long as it is within reason, I will give it to you."

The man looked at him with a strange look, thought for a while, and said, "Just 100 star coins." 100 star coins is the price of a meal.

Li Qingfeng immediately took out the portable mobile data card and after facial recognition, he directly transferred 100 star coins to the person.

"It's okay now." Li Qingfeng looked at the man helplessly.

"Okay."

Li Qingfeng sat down and looked at the time. There were still 30 minutes until the agreed time. He touched his hungry belly, hesitated, and finally pressed the ordering button. After a while, the girl just now ran over quickly.

"Excuse me, sir, what would you like to eat?" the girl said with a smile.

Li Qingfeng looked at the menu and thought for a while. He asked: "How about two set meals? One can be served first, and the other can be served later."

"Okay sir" the girl quickly clicked a few times on the electronic book and left.

"Where do you work, little brother?" Suddenly, a voice sounded in Li Qingfeng's ears. He turned around and saw that it was the person just now. Li Qingfeng felt nothing happened so he started chatting with him. He knew his name, Fang Shengqi, but he always felt like he had heard this name somewhere before.

"It seems that you are very busy at work on weekdays, so what are you doing here today?"

"I came to see a brother, a close friend who has been with me since high school. However, he has devoted himself to research in the past few years, so I haven't seen him on the ground for a long time."

"I see. It seems that being a researcher is quite tiring. Why do you want to be a researcher?"

Li Qingfeng looked at the sky formed by the interplay of the stars outside the glass and the maglev city. He said slowly: "For a dream, a dream to conquer the sky, you and everyone else may think it is wishful thinking, but I still have to pay for it. Everything, even my life.”

Fang Shengqi looked at him and sighed: "I once had the same dream as you and had the same thoughts as you."

Li Qingfeng also looked at him, "Then why did you give up in the end?"

Fang Shengqi laughed and said: "I didn't choose to give up, I just turned it into a reality. Seeing that you and I were so similar before, I just felt a little emotional, but now that I have no dreams, I always feel that there is something missing in my life." Then his smile gradually faded, and his eyes became serious.

Li Qingfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He always felt that this old man was doing Versailles, so he said: "Then you were stingy just now and asked me for 100 star coins. Is this what people who have achieved great things do?"

Fang Shengqi said with a serious face: "How can these be equal? ​​They are not the same thing at all."

"Whatever you say is fine." Li Qingfeng felt light and relaxed. He hadn't spoken like this for a long time. In the Institute of Physics, except for his master and a few colleagues who were good friends, everyone spoke very seriously, and there was no rule in the institute that he was not allowed to say anything unrelated to work during work.

At this time, a man with a sloppy face and disheveled hair sat opposite Li Qingfeng.
