Chapter 2. Watching Movies with Ansel
"The Champs Elysees Hotel, No. 365 Golden Peony Street, is famous in Longmen. From the countryside of Kowloon to the urban area of Longmen, everyone knows it. Even our Chief Wei often goes there to receive guests. The owner of the hotel, Boss Du Mingyue,
He is also well-known as a philanthropic person who loves charity. All the major colleges and universities in Longmen have received funding from him, and he also donates two million Longmen coins to the National Guard Bureau every year."
Zhou Jinru listened with great interest from the back. He had an idea of two million Longmen coins. A piano in Shihuaiya's house was about this amount.
His grandfather had done this before. He retired from his position when he was old, and participated in donations, charities, and foundations. He scattered a lot of money and people who enjoyed the benefits thought of him.
A gray-haired old man who was originally quite dignified also became kind.
It's a pity for that old man. If he were still alive, Zhou Jinru's life would be much easier.
He thought a lot in his mind, and quickly reacted and erased those past scenes from his mind, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but raise.
In his field of vision, his sanity dropped by 10 points. He felt nothing, no joy, nothing.
The night was dark, and several cars were speeding away on the empty road. Even Longmen, known as the city that never sleeps, became bleak after entering winter. There were almost no pedestrians on the road, and there were very few night buses.
"Factories and handicraft workshops are concentrated in the outer ring. The urban planning of the urban area a few years ago was implemented well. There are schools, hospitals, shopping malls, cinemas, food courts and other things in a big city in the urban area, and the factories are all
I personally think Mr. Wei made a very good decision by moving to the outer ring. Firstly, it avoids pollution everywhere in the city, and secondly, the workers also save time and energy from traveling long distances on the road every day."
“So the damage caused by the integration movement more than a year ago has been repaired?”
Zhou Jinru was a little surprised. The Integration Movement used Frost Star and Boneshatter Misha to drag Rhodes Island outside, and then launched a large-scale attack on the dragon gate closest to Chernobog. They successfully entered the city, but were then rushed to the battlefield.
Everyone in Rhode Island cooperated with the counterattack launched by the Guards Bureau to clear out the area. Although it did not take long, the damage and casualties caused were huge.
Liang Chao said in shock: "Mr. Aguang, what are you talking about? The integration movement did not attack Longmen. They just caused some commotion in the outer ring. The director of our Guards Bureau went straight in and easily defeated several cadres and retreated.
Just some civilians died."
"Ah, that's right. I heard about it too."
Zhou Jinru responded in his mouth and quickly lowered his head. Where Liang Chao couldn't see him, he couldn't suppress his expression and his face was full of shock!
What?!
How can this be?!
Longmen was not raided by the integration movement, which means that the new annihilation of Longmen city before the retreat did not happen!
Everything has changed again. Where did it start? The gentle flapping of the butterfly's wings changed everything he knew about the past?
First, Xista was destroyed, then Hongyun didn’t meet the mourner, Boneshatter Misha who was supposed to die was still alive, and now the annihilation of Longmen City didn’t happen...
Chaos, a mess.
Until the car stopped at the entrance of the Champs Elysees Hotel and the well-dressed waiter respectfully led them into the prepared room, Zhou Jinru had not yet gotten rid of those things.
He put Popka down and urged her and Hong to brush their teeth and wash their faces before resting. After everything was done, he sat alone on the toilet in the bathroom and picked up a magazine placed at hand. On the cover was the popular idol of Longmen.
On the poster of the singer Kong, a girl with blond hair and twin tails held up a microphone and made a strange movement with her left hand. He suddenly laughed. It was Nicole's classic movement. If nothing else, he should have taught her.
He thought, fortunately, the operators in the game would not leave Rhode Island. Otherwise, if an operator like him, who had finally been extracted, would just run away, there would be no reason for this.
Although it was past midnight, he couldn't sleep. He tucked the two children into bed, left the door ajar, walked into the living room, squatted in front of the TV and flipped through the video tapes placed in front of the player.
, they are all content that he has never seen. The way of filming in this world is different from his hometown. After all, with the blessing of Origin Stone technology, some special effects look gorgeous.
He picked a disc at random and inserted it into the player. He was quite knowledgeable about entertainment things, and he could figure out how to run it with just a few fiddles.
Half lying on the sofa, I watched a few big characters appear on the TV screen: The Story of Superintendent Longmen.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a faint knock on the door. Zhou Jinru put down the remote control and walked over. Through the peephole, he saw Ansel secretly sticking to the door. He opened the door and asked curiously: "Ansel, what are you doing?"
Already?"
Ansel held the bag in his hand and looked around a few times, like a thief. When he saw the door opened, he got in and shouted in panic: "The doctor is not good, something big has happened!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Hong and Popka are sleeping. Also, you called me Aguang outside. What happened?"
Zhou Jinru almost reached out to cover Ansel's mouth. Fortunately, the other party realized it immediately and kept his voice very low: "Oh, Aguang, I found out that the Longmen police superintendent named Liang Chao is not a good person!"
that person?
Zhou Jinru had no special feelings for him. He turned around and walked towards the sofa. As he walked, he asked: "What did you find? You are so nervous. He is going to blow up the restaurant?"
"No, Ah Guang. I noticed that he was always staring at me, and just now he wanted to invite me to watch a movie at Bainaohui. I said I didn't want to go, but he still refused to leave. He asked me if I was hungry and wanted to eat together.
How about late-night snacks? How could I have late-night snacks with a stranger, and eating late-night snacks is not good for my health. I eat late-night snacks because of my racial characteristics. Aguang, you must understand me."
"Yes, you are right. I do understand you. There is nothing you can do about your racial characteristics. It is instinct. Eating late-night snacks is all instinct."
Zhou Jinru nodded along. He often sneaked to the infirmary in the middle of the night to have supper with Ansel, and chatted about some gossip among the operators, such as how many dumbbells were under Javier's bed and what blood type Warfarin liked.
The blood is strong, Amiya likes to eat carrots, and the comic books that Spot buys sometimes contain some philosophy books...
Now, they are already quite tacit understanding of comrades-in-arms, a comrade in the trench, a grasshopper on the rope.
Ansel sat on the sofa and poured out the food from his bag, and said matter-of-factly: "I think he discovered the snacks I brought and wanted to share some with me, but was too embarrassed to speak. I know the people from Longmen
They are all very edible, and I heard they can eat people, but I don’t really believe it, it’s probably a rumor, how could I share my midnight snack with a stranger?”
Zhou Jinru sighed, sat next to Ansel, picked up a bag of potato chips, tore open the package, and watched the movie plot playing on the TV.
He stuffed a piece of fried chicken-flavored potato chips into his mouth, and was surprised to find a line of characters popping out of his head:
LEVEL UP! The current level is LV2!
