Quadruple split

Chapter 1982 The Unknown (XII)

[Shu Xiang], who ranked twelfth in the personal combat power rankings before the list was closed, has a high mystery index. She is a short girl who looks to be about 24 or 25 years old, with braids, air bangs, and glasses. , as for her attire in public spaces, it is a rather simple white shirt, jeans and canvas shoes, giving people a crisp and refreshing feeling.

But what no one expected was that this homepage boss, who was even more mysterious than Cordoba, would actually know Gu Xiaole, who was also in the top 20 of the rankings!

Not only that, judging from the current sneaky and sneaky style of painting, the relationship between them does not seem to be as visible as Yuchen's best friend group, so much so that whenever they meet, they are like an underground worker.

And in fact...

The two of them are indeed 'underground workers' in a certain sense, but one is a 'full-time' and the other a 'part-time'.

"Sorry to trouble you, Miss Gu."

Although his appearance is not amazing, he is still pretty, and his scholarly atmosphere is quite strong. He bowed to Gu Xiaole with some embarrassment and said softly: "It is obviously a matter for those on the fringes of us, but you are made to be like this..."

"Hey, it's not your business or mine. My uncle and aunt are also psychics and onmyoji respectively, and I don't see how gregarious they are with people in our circle."

Gu Xiaole waved his hand, interrupting Shuxiang's courtesy, and said happily: "And I said it was to help, but in fact it was just in passing. After all, we go to the same school and have a pretty good relationship. Tsk tsk, I am the one with the most prosperous family in Japan. That one ended up here, good guys, each one is scarier than the other. If it weren’t for my heartless sister, I might have been so nervous talking to those brats that I would have died of a cerebral hemorrhage."

Although she had communicated many times through phone calls, text messages, and friend messages before, Shuxiang still didn't let go of her restraint until now, and sighed in a much more relaxed tone than before: "I can completely understand, really, you must I can’t imagine the first time I saw those sisters coming to pick up the express delivery hand in hand. They were the adults’ daughters, but they were so easy-going and approachable.”

"To be honest, I haven't seen any of you marginalized people who are not easy-going and approachable."

Gu Xiaole smacked his lips, shook his head and said: "And they don't think they are any big shots in the first place. You should also know that they have all suppressed their 'talents' and never know anything beyond common sense."

Shuxiang nodded slightly and said sternly: "Yes, although I don't understand it, and Mr. Dongming Ghost King doesn't agree with it, but as far as I know, they have never been in contact with the world under the table."

"I know a little bit, but not much. Those people seem to be determined not to let juniors like me get involved. Even my aunt is tight-lipped on some issues. In my grandfather's words, she just wants to get married. The water that my daughter threw out."

Gu Xiaole sighed and said helplessly: "Let's get back to the subject, it's said to be 'suppressing' talents, but if the talents of those brats could be suppressed easily, my uncle and aunt wouldn't have specifically told me to watch them. Give me your contact information, tsk tsk, he is a leading figure among the young generation of marginalized people in B city, the champion of the last newcomer exchange meeting, and he is able to fight against the 'severe' level aliens alone [Book Box] at a young age. He is really going back to his country. From now on, you can meet great people everywhere, but if you were to stay on our small, broken island, your family would definitely be stepped down by those big families who come to propose marriage."

"Ah haha, Miss Gu, you are joking. In the words of Mr. Dongming Ghost King, the main reason why I was lucky enough to win the championship of the exchange meeting is because we marginalized people...well, we are inexperienced. Compared with the previous generation, this generation It’s too far off.”

Shuxiang, who was sitting side by side with Gu Xiaole on the bench, scratched his hair in embarrassment and said sarcastically: "Miss Gu, our younger generation in China have basically heard of your deeds, and everyone admires you."

Gu Xiaole burst into laughter and said with a smile: "We are about the same age, you can just call me Xiaole. As for my deeds and so on... are you talking about the fact that I am a murderer of Sanshui Juexing and can still survive to this day, so it is amazing?" Bar?"

Shuxiang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head vigorously and explained: "No, no, we are referring to Miss Gu...er, we are referring to Xiao Le. You obviously have a big family and a big business, but you can rely on your own abilities without relying on your family. Achieving financial freedom is really amazing.”

Gu Xiaole's face froze and he said dryly: "Is that what you are talking about..."

"I have something to watch!"

Shuxiang stared at Gu Xiaole with bright eyes and said loudly: "Whether it's "The Demon Prince and the Archangel", "Blue Fingers", "Sea of Spring", "Underground Models and Street Fighters", "Under the Stadium" I've watched "One Thousand and One Nights"! This year's C (Comic Market) 138 and C139 will also find ways to support them on site!"

Gu Xiaole was confused at the time. After a while, he swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice: "Is it difficult...could it be said that everyone in China only knows me because of those works?!"

Shuxiang shook her head first, and then nodded eagerly: "Some of the sisters like me who cherish the 'lady way' know you Xiaole through your works, but most of them achieved economic success early because of you Xiaole. You didn’t know about it until you were independent. Of course, you will definitely read the work after you know it!”

The corner of Gu Xiaole's mouth twitched, and after a while, he slumped his shoulders with a pale face, and said in a half-dead tone: "Although it is very clear that my ability is really difficult to win the eyes of you people in China, but because Otome is going to R18 works And becoming famous...to be honest, I already want to die."

"Ahaha, I think it's awesome."

I was really embarrassed to tell Gu Xiaole, "Your level is really not good enough in China." Shuxiang rubbed the tip of his nose and said seriously: "I'm serious, let's leave you psychics and those with super powers behind. Let’s not talk about prowlers or other anomalies or aliens, let’s just talk about us marginalized people with the largest base. It’s true that eight out of ten people are poor, and one is extremely poor. Let’s just talk about me. If it weren’t for the branch support If you stay, you will starve to death on the streets within three days."

Gu Xiaole, who really had not had much contact with people on the margins of his age, widened his eyes in surprise and asked curiously: "Really or not? You are so powerful, how can you have no food to eat?"

"It's useless to be awesome. We can't disrupt social order. Even those guys whose symbolic power is in the direction of physical strengthening don't dare to move more bricks than normal people when they go to work on the construction site."

Shuxiang sighed and said with a gloomy face: "Besides, we marginalized people usually have many and complicated things. Although the safety factor is much higher than that of more than 20 years ago, people will not die easily, but skipping classes, skipping classes, etc. Skipping classes and skipping dates are unavoidable. I remember there was a guy in Province H who was about the same age as me. Before he awakened to his symbolic power, he was a top student in a key class in a key middle school. However, after two years in the industry, his high school entrance examination results were a mess and he was eventually dismissed. In anger, my parents found a technical secondary school and sent me to fend for myself. Now I heard that in addition to finding jobs, I locked myself in the dormitory to study rap. Oh, what a sin."

Gu Xiaole was immediately silenced, and after a while he trembled: "Is this... so scary..."

"Actually, it's not particularly scary. I think everyone uses their status as a 'marginal' person as an excuse to not work hard, and I do the same."

Shuxiang stuck out her tongue coquettishly and handed Gu Xiaole one of the cheapest [Old Popsicles] that could be exchanged in public spaces. He also bought one and held it in his hand. While eating, he said: "But we It is true that it is more difficult. After all, we are a society that emphasizes science and law. It is definitely not possible to expose yourself as a hero. As for the work behind the scenes, although the versatility of credits is indeed stronger than that of RMB, US dollars, etc., But there are more monks than meat. Let's put it this way, 300 credit points for defeating a 'big' level alien sounds like a lot, right? But what if the number of people participating in the expedition exceeds three digits? Then each person can only score 3 points at most. It’s 3 o’clock, I can’t even buy a bottle of better hand cream at 3 o’clock.”

"Well……"

She has lived the life of a young lady with no worries about food and clothing since she was a child. She achieved financial independence early through drawing books. Before returning to China, she was given a universal card with a large number of credit points. Gu Xiaole, who had never experienced hard life, met the writer in front of her. The Wen Jingjing girl suddenly entered a complaining state, and had no choice but to grab the other person's trembling hand and comfort her: "It's really hard."

"Ahaha, complaining is complaining, I'm actually pretty good."

Shuxiang smiled shyly and said in a subtle, post-disaster tone: "Although it was a bit hard before graduation, now I can be regarded as a formal employee of the B City headquarters. Although I earn less, I still work hard." The content is also very relaxing. Not only is there a credit point subsidy, the company also helps pay for five social insurances and one housing fund. There is no need to spend money on water, electricity and Internet bills in the employee dormitory. Now I can even reward myself with a KFC meal every week."

Gu Xiaole was silent for a while, and then he tried to test: "...How about you come and be my comic assistant before I return to China after studying abroad?"

"Ah, no, no, no, I just found a part-time job some time ago."

Shuxiang, who immediately understood what Gu Xiaole meant, immediately waved her hand and said with a smile: "Although the work content is a bit exciting, the boss is very generous."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaole, who didn't really need an assistant, naturally wouldn't force it. Instead, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I remember that the wife of His Excellency the Omni-Knowing Ghost King was also the receptionist of Niefeng Express Company in the beginning. Right? And he was also the champion of the newcomer exchange meeting?"

"Hmm, senior [Bingtong] also gave us reception training before."

Shuxiang nodded vigorously and repeated seriously: "She said that when the business is relatively busy, try to watch domestic variety shows that don't require much thinking. After the lunch break, you can watch a more tasteful movie, the part before dinner Don’t go to online stores during the day because it’s easy to buy a lot of food. If you have a night shift, you can read classic old shows or comics with relatively high ratings. This will make it easier to stay energetic. On weekends, watch industrial trash costume dramas with particularly coquettish and sissy male protagonists. It will effectively reduce appetite, not only lose weight, but also save money.”

Gu Xiaole: "Huh?"

"After all, it's just the front desk."

Shuxiang pursed her lips and smiled, then brought the topic back and said seriously: "So the young master from the All-Knowing Ghost King's family..."

"pretty close."

Gu Xiaole nodded, suppressed a smile and replied: "I have already tried to find a way to ask. Although Lan Jiang doesn't know it yet, he should have passively seen at least three futures before taking action, or in other words, After seeing one direction, he changes his mind, then sees the second, and so on, the third, and his opponent just exposes his position in the third future, and then... he will kill with one strike."

"It's completely a [Future Vision] trait."

Shuxiang nodded, and then his eyes lost focus. While sending messages to others, he continued to ask: "What about the viewing distance? Do you have a rough estimate?"

Gu Xiaole nodded and replied without hesitation: "I have calculated. According to his own description, the viewing distance should be about five seconds, and the duration should not exceed two seconds."

Shuxiang nodded slightly, and then remained silent for a long time. It took nearly half a minute for his eyes to regain clarity. He nodded to Gu Xiaole and said, "Okay, I have already sent it to the partner responsible for contacting above. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaole. .”

"だいじょうぶ,だいじょうぶ~I had a good time playing with those brats."

Gu Xiaole grinned and said happily: "Why don't I introduce them to you, that would be more convenient."

"No, no!"

Shuxiang immediately shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. They are all family members of super important people. I, I am quite busy now. Even if I wasn't busy, I would have been unable to speak easily in the past. , Xiaole, please pay more attention, please, please."

Gu Xiaole laughed dumbly and said helplessly: "They are really just a group of good kids, but okay, since you said so, I will continue to pay attention. Oh, by the way, can you reveal the handling method? Lan Jiang's .”

Shuxiang tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "I don't know, but it stands to reason that although their 'talent' will appear in the game due to a series of factors such as hard work and mentality, it should not directly affect [ [The Realm of Innocence] The body outside, take Brother Kang Lan's 'future vision'. If nothing else goes wrong, this talent should appear in [Talent], but it should not allow him to see clearly in reality. To the future.”

"Tsk, tsk, if you say that, my cousin's talent as a psychic is also true."

"Yes."

"Won't it affect the balance? I mean in the game."

"No, Lord Dongming Ghost King said that marginalized people don't actually have any advantage in the game."

"Eh?"

"In principle, except for one person, every player in this world is on the same starting line. That's what the Ghost King of the Underworld said."

"Except one person?"

"Uh-huh."

"Except who?"

"Lesions."

"ah?"

"My lord said, the other party is the disease of this world."
