Lord of Eternal Darkness

In the early morning, the city that had been noisy all night became quiet. A trace of light appeared on the eastern horizon, carefully infiltrating the light blue sky. A new day has arrived.

Li Xiaoming stretched out and looked a little sleepy. After all, he chatted with the person in his dream for a long time last night. After consolidating his proficiency in the nightmare master stage, he should no longer be troubled by dreams.

He suddenly remembered something.

After getting dressed and opening the door, he knocked on the door opposite, listened to the footsteps inside, and waited silently for two minutes.

The door opened and the beautiful girl stuck her head out.

Li Xiaoming asked: "Good morning, Xiaode!"

St. Assad's hair was a little messy, she was wrapped in a quilt as pajamas, her feet were bare, and there were dark shadows around her eyes. It looked like she had not slept well.

"Good morning, Uncle Li."

"It seems like you didn't sleep well."

St. Assad said angrily: "I don't know who it was, but it kept talking about it in my dream last night."

Li Xiaoming felt slightly ashamed that he had not yet fully controlled the power of the Dream Master. He also lamented that this girl's mental power was so strong that she could directly feel another person's dreams and even their words.

"Then what did he say?"

St. Assad shook her head, "I didn't understand a word, it was just like the noise coming from the old radio, but I probably heard the voice, like what are you doing, they are all a bunch of harpies, please reward me." Wu Yiha catches Tintin cat..."

Li Xiaoming looked down, feeling a little ashamed, but he still said jokingly:

"Oh, did the person in the dream tell you that a girl dressed casually will meet a handsome man today?"

St. Assad reacted instantly. Only then did she realize that she had not washed up in the morning, and she could be said to be dishonestly dressed. It would be inappropriate to meet a man by opening the door so easily, and hurriedly threw the door open.

Li Xiaoming felt a strong gust of wind blowing past his face, then heard a thud, and was stunned for a moment.

By the way, girl, is it even more rude for you to slam the door like this?

After about a few more minutes, she quietly opened the door and got out.

Then he raised his head and stared at Li Xiaoming in surprise. "Why haven't you left yet? I just want to wash my face. Is it that difficult?"

Li Xiaoming smiled and said: "Don't panic, it's not a big problem. Everyone has already seen it anyway. I'm here to get the backpack in your necklace. There are things I want in it. I forgot to get it back yesterday."

Saint Assad was speechless, took out the backpack from the necklace and threw it at the opponent.

"Get out of the way, you nasty guy."

"Don't say that. I also want to invite you to wash your face and brush your teeth together. What a generous and handsome man you are, but you can't fall in love with me."

Xiaode calmed down. "No, you have to remain a lady and don't get angry easily."

"Hey, don't worry so much. We don't share a set of toiletries. Brother Wang Ye has lived here before, so the landlord carefully bought a few more disposable sets." After Li Xiaoming finished speaking, he carried his bag Ran back to the room.

Saint Assad noticed that she might have been tricked by the other party, and her face was so shy that she could only feel helpless to get angry.

When Li Xiaoming was about to brush his teeth and wash his face, he happened to meet Saint Assad in the bathroom. He nodded to show friendship and went about his own business. Although he felt a little strange, the relationship seemed to be good.

When I first came to the living room, the aroma of wheat and milk came from the kitchen, which made me feel refreshed.

The landlord looked at the two of them happily and said: "Young man, it seems that you didn't get a good rest yesterday. You slept so late. My godson accidentally made a few extra breakfasts. I wonder if you can enjoy it. Don’t worry, it’s free.”

The bionic robot on the side said, "Didn't you ask me to do it, uncle?" It's such an obvious way to show kindness.

St. Assad said quickly: "That's not good, old man. We can just eat on the street."

"Thank you."

Li Xiaoming was not polite and nodded directly, sitting on the table and getting ready to eat.

Chewing the bread in his mouth, he said: "You're welcome, eat it quickly. Isn't the one at home more nutritious, safer and more delicious than the one sold outside? The heat of this omelette is okay, but I don't like black pepper very much."

The uncle shouted to the robot next to him: "Grandson, please pay attention to this guest's omelette next time and don't put black pepper in it. By the way, does the little girl have any requests?"

St. Assad was too embarrassed to refuse. He wasn’t too picky about the taste, so just an ordinary person’s breakfast would be enough.

Li Xiaoming looked at the girl's delicious taste, and even sat on the chair and shook his feet. He could imagine that it had been a long time since he had eaten this thing, or he had never eaten dry bread or drank milk before, and his heart was full of novelty.

Li Xiaoming finished breakfast first and put on a victorious smile, leading the female friend next to him by 3 minutes and 26 seconds.

Saint Assad stuffed her mouth like a hamster's cheeks and chewed hard, looking a little cute and funny.

The landlord on the side shook his head helplessly. It's great that he is still so childish even though he is an adult.

This young couple might become a real couple in the future.

Li Xiaoming thanked him and said, "Uncle Zhang, thank you for your hospitality. We are going to go to the street."

When Saint Assadlin walked out of the door, she bowed politely and quickly followed Li Xiaoming.

Zhang Jianjun waved happily to the two young men.

He summoned his floating seat and ran to the courtyard to bask in the sun. He covered his head and endured the headache, just like his usual habit.

He said to himself: "I have gone to so many doctors but can't cure my headache. Does this young man really have a way? So what will he plot?"

…

The two of them walked together on the streets. The morning in the Innocence City was particularly quiet. People who had been noisy all night hid in their homes and fell asleep.

Xiao Ming complained: "If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was haunted during the day."

Saint Assad nodded in agreement.

The crowds on the street were sparse, the rolling shutter doors of the shops were raised upwards, and two or three speeding cars passed by overhead. There was still some guy's vomit from last night on the dirty ground, and sanitation workers were working hard to clean it.

Because of the so-called kindness, the Political Council did not replace it with bionic people, and kept the profession of cleaners, who worked hard every day to clean and earn a meager salary.

At this time, he suddenly thought of a sentence. When he was a child, his teacher once said that if he didn't study hard, he would have to sweep the streets in the future.

But the current situation is slightly different. Even if they have the ability, they will be replaced. Those bionic people are almost tireless. After the industry is complete, all costs will be greatly reduced. Now an ordinary person's job depends on the other person's remaining kindness. How many.

The two of them walked around for a while, but still didn't find any clothing store. However, it was actually a lot of fun to just stroll around with someone accompanying you.

"What a pity. It seems that we got up too early. The early bird catches the early bug, which is not right."

Li Xiaoming was amused by the sick words in his words for some reason. He was an optimistic person. Although he didn't buy the clothes she liked, he also prevented money from staying in other people's pockets for a while.

"It seems that you are in a relatively happy mood. As compensation, I will buy three pieces of clothes."

Li Xiaoming said nonchalantly: "You can buy as many items as you want, and I won't say anything if you buy the whole store, because the money is borrowed."

"Okay, you annoying miser, are only girls giving you expensive clothes? If you are accompanying such a beautiful lady, wouldn't you show your gentlemanly spirit and give you a matching dress?"

"A gentleman's spirit? Sorry, what is that edible? I have a chivalrous spirit."

The two of them were not in a hurry, chatting and laughing, waiting for which store would be lucky enough to open for them to patronize.

Although the clothing store was not open for the time being, other stores were opening one after another. Li Xiaoming saw a special restaurant with a door sign that said it purchased various meats.

Xiao Ming said: "Xiao De, didn't we get some locust meat? There happens to be a shop here. If you sell the meat, it can be used as your money, and you don't need to borrow it from me."

Saint Assad nodded, "Don't worry, we are divided into 50 and 50. God has said that you must not be too greedy, otherwise your soul will suffer in hell."

"Well, your god is so scary." Li Xiaoming said softly, not sure if the other party heard him?

When the two came to Jinshan Hotel, the waiter came over and asked if they were here to enjoy the delicious food.

"Do you want to stay in a hotel or have a meal with this beautiful and handsome man?"

Li Xiaoming shook his head and said that he was here to sell ingredients. The other party also understood what he meant and called the lobby manager over. This man was slim and handsome, wearing a suit, with a tall figure and a smart mustache.

Tommy said: "I heard that two friends have special meat on hand. This is a good thing in the City of Innocence. I hope it can open your eyes. As long as it is fresh, sufficient, rare and delicious, the price will definitely make you happy." satisfy."

Li Xiaoming said: "Desert locusts, I wonder if they can make it to the elegant hall?"

"Oh, definitely. The rich people in this city are tired of eating everything, so they just want something new. They must also like insect meat. Moreover, desert locusts usually live underground during the day, and they only come out during sandstorms. , what is usually difficult to do is not knowing whether you have enough or not enough."

"There are about 30 of them." Then he asked Xiao De with some uncertainty.

"Is it 30?"

"No, there are only 25 of them."

Li Xiaoming said again: "Correction, there are 25 in total, the shape is relatively complete and fresh."

Tommy said: "So, can you two take out the sample now and let me check it?"

Li Xiaoming said: "Yes, yes, but it will take a while."

"Well, I'll give it to you." As a result, Saint Assad was summoned directly from the space necklace.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Li Xiaoming was a little helpless. Space treasures are expensive and hard to find. There are so many people here with mixed eyes. Doesn’t this child understand that wealth should not be exposed, and wealth should not show off?

Tommy was startled at first, but quickly calmed down. It was not like he had never seen this thing before, but he suddenly saw a rabbit-sized locust and was not prepared.

After a little inspection, he found that it was indeed quite fresh. The freshness dropped very slowly in the portable space. His eyes rolled around, and he seemed to have other ideas.

Tommy said with a smile on his face: "Okay, we want them all, just like making friends. According to the market conditions, one of them is almost in the fifth and second list, and the total is 100 and 2,500 sterling. You two think how?"

"Wow, Uncle Li has a lot of money." Saint Assad said with emotion.

Obviously I was deceived by the other party's language skills. When I hear 2500 and B list together, it is easy for people to misunderstand.

Li Xiaoming noticed something, opened his eyes, and scanned the surrounding customers who came to eat.

Many people showed hostility and greed in their eyes. Maybe when they walked into an alley, these people would beat them up and take away valuable things.

Tommy followed the other person's gaze and noticed his negligence in his work. He quickly said: "You two, there are many people here, let's go to the office and chat slowly."

Xiao Ming said: "Humph, I thought they would let us sit at the dining table and wait for us to have a big meal."

Tommy smiled and replied: "Haha, when the business is concluded, I will definitely treat you to a meal."

Tommy originally thought it was just a hunter who got some fresh meat, chatted for a while, paid for the purchase, and then went back to play games. He did not expect that the quantity and quality of the other party were so high, and there was no discussion at the dinner table. , you should be treated like a distinguished guest.

This meeting was really a bit of a stretch, so I had to try to get it back in other ways.
