Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

As the Spring Festival is approaching, Wenzhong Road is much busier than before. New 𝐱.𝐜𝐨𝐦

In addition to the people coming and going on the main road, the alleys on both sides are also full of stalls selling things, forming small "markets" one after another.

Some sell home-grown vegetables, some sell cooked food, and some sell fireworks.

Big cities have begun to completely ban the setting off of fireworks, but Qinghe County still has the freedom of fireworks.

Red firecrackers, cigarette-like crackers, colorful couplets and blessing characters, when these things appeared together, Zhou Rui felt like celebrating the New Year.

But Zhou Rui is not here to buy guns today, he is here to maintain his health. There is a parallel path on the back of Wenzhong Road, and there are two or three medicinal shops. I used to pass by it every day, and the smell was very strong. I passed by a few meters away and drank it. It’s the same as Chinese medicine, but I’ve never used it.

It is said to be a medicinal material store, but actually it is more appropriately called a "health store". It sells everything, including dendrobium and angelica, walnuts, and grains. There are also stacks of eggs at the door. On weekdays, the most frequent customers are old men and women. , next door is a small medical shop, and a little further away there is a wreath shroud.

The one-stop arrangement is clear.

The door of the store was open, and various things were placed in wooden grids. Zhou Rui walked in and walked around. The boss asked: "What do you want to buy, young man?"

Zhou Ruidao: "Buy some health-preserving things, I mean the kind that are really effective."

"Giving a gift to the elders in the family? Do you want to buy one of our American ginseng gift boxes? Imported, 400 per box. Buy two boxes and get a plate of eggs for free."

Zhou Rui took a look at the huge and exquisite box. The small and cheap jar just barely had the words "IQ tax" printed on the box.

He shook his head and took out a thermos cup from his pocket: "Can I try it?"

Boss: "Huh?"

Zhou Rui simply took out 20 yuan and handed it to the boss to pay for the trial. Then he pinched a piece of "angelica" and threw it into the thermos cup. He closed the lid and shook it vigorously. After shaking it for 7749 times, the pill was gone. Done. new

I opened the lid and took a sip. There was a faint medicinal smell.

Then after waiting for a few seconds, no experience prompt appeared.

Not to mention the boss, Li Wenqian was dumbfounded by the operation.

Zhou Rui pinched another piece of astragalus, three wolfberries, a dendrobium, a piece of American ginseng, and a mangosteen. Finally, after thinking about it, he just took some common medicinal materials. The thermos cup turned into porridge. He closed the lid and shook it. In ninety-nine and eighty-one strokes, I made a complete tonic soup.

Zhou Rui frowned and took a sip. He felt that he could no longer tell the difference in taste, but there was still no experience hint.

Just drink it all in one gulp.

Finally, the voice of experience prompted my mind.

"Entry task [Health Preservation], experience value +1, current progress (1/100)"

Zhou Rui's eyes lit up, this tonic must be a hodgepodge!

"Catch two taels of each of those things just now for me."

Pack everything back first, and then study it slowly.

Li Wenqian asked curiously: "Does it taste good? What does it taste like?"

Zhou Rui: "Healthy taste."

On the way back, Zhou Rui refilled a glass for himself, took two steps to take a sip, and drank a lot of water.

This cup of hodgepodge is not, it is Shiquan Dabu Decoction. I don’t know which ingredients are effective, but the result is good anyway. When I drank the second cup, I gained a little experience.

I don’t know if Zhou Rui really concocted some secret recipe, or if the system’s judgment is relatively loose.

He doesn't care what works and what doesn't, as long as he has experience, right?

Anyway, these are common mild herbs, but my stomach suffers.

Zhou Rui wondered whether to increase the amount of medicinal materials and reduce the amount of water. After all, concentration is the essence.

After wandering along Wenzhong Road, Zhou Rui bought some gadgets, one for cleaning cannons and one for throwing cannons. He also asked the cannon seller to order a big fireworks and drove there in two days. new

"Are you coming to the party tomorrow?"

Li Wenqian thought for a while but shook her head and said, "I won't join in the fun when your class is together. I'll go back and ask my class."

After bidding farewell to Li Wenqian, Zhou Rui carried a bag of small cannons and walked home. He found a wasteland out of boredom, opened the bags and started playing.

Wipe it, throw it away

"Snapped"

It’s gone.

Is it so boring?

Isn’t it fun in my memory? Why don’t I feel the same as before?

When I was a child, I felt that if I had a whole box of firecrackers, I could show off them for days. Like a baby, I would even pick up the unexploded firecrackers on the ground.

Now I looked at the bag full of crackers. There were ten boxes, forty pieces per box.

If you buy too much, try again.

Wipe it, throw it away

"Snapped"

Okay, it's boring indeed.

Zhou Rui just threw it away mechanically, feeling like a fool. He was going to throw away a box and go home.

When I turned around, I didn't know when three or four little boys had gathered behind me. Looking from a distance, their little faces were dirty, just like those who had just emerged from the cat's nest.

Zhou Rui thought for a while and took out a box of rubbish.

"Together?"

The little boy immediately smiled.

So one kid and one kid stood in a row on the edge of the wasteland.

"Let's see who can throw it farther! 3! 2! 1!"

Zhou Rui used a crushing force and threw it more than thirty meters, leaving an afterimage of his arm.

"You're a scumbag! You're an adult!"

"I'm not! I'm just taller!"

Occasionally, there was clear laughter, but I couldn't tell whether it was from an adult or a child.

It turns out it’s not as fun as before because I don’t have the friends I had before.

————————

The next day, after Zhou Rui got up, he received a system message while he was still awake.

"Entry task [Health Preservation], experience value +1, current progress (3/100)"

I scratched my head and realized that I still have experience in going to bed early and getting up early, but it takes a while.

The other two points were given by the Shiquan Dabu Decoction yesterday, but it was capped at two o'clock a day. The third and fourth cups were inexperienced, just a lot of water.

There is one important thing to do today, which is to drive to the elevator room where Yao Peili bought something to move things.

In the past two days, Yao Peili has started to pack up. Some items that have not been used all year round but do not affect the Chinese New Year and do not want to be thrown away are gradually being sent there. It happens that Zhou Rui and Zhou Weigang both have cars.

Zhou Rui went there for the first time, and it happened to be in the same community as the house Yao Peili spent all her wealth to buy in her previous life, but it was just a different building.

In her previous life, this was Yao Peili's only property in her later years. In this life, she just bought it and put it here as a souvenir.

The decoration is still complete and has reached the mid-to-high level level of the small town. It is currently 80% completed. However, the decoration workers have gone home for the New Year and cannot finish the work.

Everything was piled in the living room. Zhou Rui and Zhou Weigang ran back and forth four times before they were done. When they returned home in the afternoon, the two men were speechless.

After moving so many things, why do you feel like nothing is missing at home?

Afterwards, Zhou Rui took a shower, changed clothes, and prepared to go to the class reunion.

Yao Peili warned: "Don't drive while drinking. If you can't, ask your dad to pick you up."

Zhou Rui shook his head: "If you don't drive, you don't need to pick him up. It's probably going to be all night again."

At class reunions, driving to show off, why bother.

I, Teacher Xiao Zhou, do I still need this kind of external thing to show off?

Before leaving, Zhou Rui drank another cup of "Shiquan Dabu Decoction" and gained some experience points again.

Zhou Weigang glanced into the cup curiously: "What kind of porridge is this?"

After drinking up the water, there is still half a cup of ingredients left. What is it if it’s not porridge?

Zhou Rui looked at the white hair sprouting from Zhou Weigang's head: "It's a body supplement, do you want to try it?"

Zhou Weigang pondered for a moment: "Which aspect should I supplement?"

"Don't know the full complement?"

The venue of the party was still the same Qingcheng Restaurant as last time. Because there was an organization with a soul figure like Zhou Rui, and it was the first holiday after graduation, there were still a lot of people this time, nearly forty people.

"Zhou Rui! This way!" This is Song Bin.

"Teacher Xiao Zhou!" This is the nickname.

Zhou Rui smiled: "Let's go, why do you always like to stand outside and talk? Come in and talk!"

It's still the same box, with the middle baffle being detached and two integrated into one. The two large round tables are so crowded that even an extra leg can't fit in.

Everyone's feet are touching each other, showing the friendship between classmates.

Before the food was served, the lively chat started.

Compared with last year, everyone has changed a lot. After all, everyone has either become a college student or a college student, or has been working for half a year. Everyone has a lot of new things and new experiences.

But when we get together, what we talk about the most is the past, those old topics that have been talked about maybe a hundred times.

Who made a fool of himself, who was stupid, who liked whom, and Zhou Rui is awesome!

The meal was a lively one, and Lu Xubo also came over halfway through the meal.

Around nine o'clock, less than half of the people dispersed, and the others rushed towards the KTV.

Tong Xin drank a little wine and was very close to Zhou Rui on the road, and suddenly secretly scratched Zhou Rui's palm.

Zhou Rui looked back and saw only a pair of eyes with flowing water.

Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows, looked around, then put his finger on his lips and made a "hush" gesture to Tong Xin, which meant that he was careful to be seen and would be ridiculed for several more years.

Tong Xin: A little? OK!
