[Rebirth of the Future] Furutake Era

"Huh? Who?"

Shiba didn't react at once, the fat editor-in-chief on the other end of the communication was even more nervous. As soon as Shiba said something, he remembered the matter of the publishing house in the next second, but it was expected that the fat editor-in-chief would call , Eighteen cleared his throat, "Ah, I remembered, what's up with Editor-in-Chief Tang?"

Tang An was extremely annoyed. If he had known at that time, he would have directly agreed to the eighteenth condition. Now that he was talking about this, he had spent a lot of money to invite professors from the Institute of Ancient Earth Culture, but no one could understand that. What exactly is said in this ancient book.But now looking back to ask someone for help, it is definitely not as simple as before. Looking at the attitude on the other side of the phone, I am afraid that the other party has almost forgotten who he is.

In fact, since the second day after we separated, Tang An wanted to find out the details of Shiba. His publishing house was authorized by the Federation, so he naturally had everything he needed, but he was so busy all day long. , even the landing port of the other party's optical brain on the Federation planet cannot be found out. In this case, there are only two possibilities. The first one is that the other party is not actually a member of the Federation, but is a foreign transfer port to the Foreign Affairs Administration. The second situation is that the optical brain is directly under the Federation.

The optical brain inside the federal military!

If he is stupid, he will continue to pester and track down, and when he is discovered, let alone his position as the editor-in-chief is unstable, the crime of probing state secret information is the biggest crime.

If this Buddhist scripture is really translated, with its long history and its mysterious connection with the ancient earth, it will definitely cause an uproar on the Federation planet. I have been in the position of editor-in-chief for almost 20 years. Federation, the prospects for promotion are too small!Seeing that his former comrades who graduated from the same class as him have been awarded various ranks one after another, and only he is still doing nothing to guard this dead land, Tang An always feels very unwilling.

And now, he feels that his time is finally coming!

The book I got by coincidence is actually a Buddhist scripture that has been circulated since ancient times but no one has actually seen it!

Religion is too far away from the Federation... There are no gods that people can believe in on the current Federation planet.

This is definitely a great opportunity!

As for that ancient book...

Tang An's eyes darkened. As soon as the passbook was released, if the ancient book was still in his hands, it would definitely be taken back by the military. At most, he would get a consoling medal, but if he could exchange it for his own future……

Federation counts as a p!

Eighteen followed the flow of people and walked out slowly. The academy of the ancient martial arts department was at the innermost end of Kevilla Academy. If there was no one to lead the way, Eighteen was also worried that he would get lost. The private mode of the call was turned on. The editor-in-chief apologized sincerely for a long time. Shiba had no intention of haggling with him at first, but it was so easy for him to achieve his goal. Shiba was not that stupid. After pondering for a while, Shiba continued to speak in the apprehension of the fat editor: "I understand what you mean, but I'm very busy these days, so let's talk about it when I have time."

"Don't, don't, don't!" The fat editor-in-chief yelled quickly, with a pitiful voice, "I know I offended you that day, otherwise, after this book is translated, I will discuss it with my superiors and award you a military merit? "

Shiba secretly laughed, he wished that no one in the world would know that he translated this book.

The fat editor-in-chief hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said: "Look... when will you be free? The publishing house also has a branch in the Federation. If you don't want to go to the virtual world, I can call a car to pick you up right now. Everything is negotiable..."

"No need," Eighteen replied casually, "I'll go to the virtual world when I have time, and I'll let you know when the time comes, don't tell other people about me, if the news leaks out, you'll never be able to find me for the rest of your life. "

"Yes, yes—" Fatty could almost see the appearance of nodding while holding the receiver. Shiba, who did not expect to solve the problem so quickly, was also in a good mood. From the corner of his eye, he saw the sound of Ke Duo jumping up and down in the distance, and the corners of Shiba's mouth froze. , Immediately said quickly: "Okay, so be it, I'll contact you when I'm free." He hung up the phone in a hurry.

at the same time--

"Xiao Nan!!!!!!"

Ke Duo rushed over quickly and wanted to give Shiba a hug, but Shiba, who immediately dodged away, hid for nothing, and his expression became aggrieved by the coldness——

"...you don't love me anymore?"

Seeing his resentful look, the veins on his forehead twitched, and the people passing by all showed expressions of "Ah! So that's how it is" and avoided it. It was almost predictable that within a day, the messy rumors would spread quickly. All over the ancient martial arts department.

"I never loved you." Eighteen gritted his teeth and choked out a sentence, feeling that his soft-hearted behavior to see him was simply crazy.

Ke Duo made a surprised expression, covered his chest in pain and shook his head: "Oh my God! You are a scumbag who always gives up!"

Eighteen sighed, telling himself that if he was serious with him, he would lose, then he turned his head and stared at Ke Duo and asked, "Does the Ke family have a chain store in Socrates?"

Ke Duo was having fun, but he was a little stunned when he saw Shiba's serious expression: "Chain shopping malls? It seems that there are..."

He lowered his head and began to rummage through the communicator: "Why are you asking this?"

"Can I get a discount?" Shiba didn't answer him, and asked himself: "How much discount can I get? I'm going to buy something."

Ke Duo randomly dialed a number and said a few words, then hung up the call, looked at Shiba in surprise, his eyes widened: "Oh my God! Are you not stingy? I've known you for so long, and it's the first time I've known you. Looking back, you said you were going to buy something!"

Shibabai glanced at him, and Ke Duo stuck to him with a shy smile: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm just kidding, if you want to buy something, I'll just have someone send it over, let's forget about the money, who the two of us are?" With whom~"

Shiba gave him a blank look: "I just bought a random gift, do I need your money? You have so much money that you have no place to spend it?"

Ke Duo's eyes lit up: "Buy a gift? Buy it for me? You are so romantic, I thought you didn't know what day it is~!"

"Ah?" Eighteen was stunned, and only then did he realize that the atmosphere was indeed a bit wrong. Most of the students passing by in the campus were walking in pairs, whispering privately and tightly, and even the leaves on the sidewalk trees on both sides of the path were walking together. , was also dyed a fiery red color by something unknown, and the sweet smell of love floated in the air.

"Valentine's Day?" Eighteen guessed for two seconds and asked tentatively. Kodo clapped his hands and laughed, "It's absolutely correct! So you really remember?! You want to buy me a gift? You want to chase me? Then How embarrassing...you let me post it and I'm willing..."

Shiba was shocked by his disgust, turned around and left.

Although I don't know what kind of epilepsy General Nan suddenly had this time, Shiba really doesn't want to get involved in the Nan family's affairs. Let's not say that my identity is not justified in the first place, but the idea of ​​the Nan family's foundation , I really don't see it in my eyes, why bother to wrong my temper to be low and small?It's not that there is something wrong with the brain.

But having said that, after all, the etiquette on the surface still has to be thoughtful. Since others have called to inform, I can't pretend to be ignorant.

Ke’s shopping mall is not small, it should be considered as a luxury shopping mall in Common Star, but in Socrates, it can only be regarded as a civilian shopping place at best, Ke Duo did not inform the person in charge, but quietly accompanied Eighteen is picked on the ground floor.

"Why don't you go upstairs and have a look?"

Eighteen shook his head: "No need, just buy some casually, jewelry is also fine, cheaper ones, suitable for the elderly."

Ke Duo could see that Shiba was not very interested in this gift. The two of them spent less than 10 minutes shopping together. Shiba stared at the price tag and picked up a pendant at random. The color of the pendant was old fashioned. It can be regarded as the best in the world, Ke Duo bared his teeth and lamented Shiba's stinginess, and yelled that he used a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, and finally gave it a half.

This General Nan's birthday is really not at the right time...

Eighteen felt a little bit of resentment in his heart, he was at the time when his finances were at its worst, and the publishing house originally wanted to delay him for a few more days, but now it seems that if he still wants to make ends meet, he can only find him as soon as possible .

Leaving Ke Duo in the mall, Shi Shi went out alone to find a courier, not because he wanted to hide Ke Duo's knowledge, but because Nan's exposure meant nothing to the two of them, Shi Shi is a lazy person, friendship is so important Kind of thing, it's better to keep him pure.

Along the way, the atmosphere of Socrates’ Valentine’s Day is extremely strong. The venues on the street are full of lovers who are in pairs. You and I are snuggling together, and the air is a bit warmer. The holiday package was discounted in half. Eighteen thought about it, and decided to invite Ke Duo, who had saved himself a lot of money, to have a meal.After all, in a place like Socrates, there is no more grand festival than Valentine's Day throughout the year, and you will be invited sooner or later. Such a low price is really an opportunity that cannot be missed.

Obviously, the stingy Shiba doesn't think there's anything wrong with being so careful. Diligence and frugality are people's traditional virtues!

Until the pre-dinner was served, Ke Duo still maintained that flattered look. He somewhat understood Shiba's temperament, so taking the initiative to invite himself to dinner was really more subtle than the probability of the Federation splitting. Originally, those who wanted to receive The gift words are just a mouthful, who knows that it can really make me eat a meal...

Ke Duo is not short of that money, even if it is an expensive meal, he has never caught his eye, but he was invited by Shiba so... It seems that even if he is sitting in a street or an alley, he can Eat with gusto.

Just like the value of a gift, it is not in itself, but in the weight of the person who gave it.

Ke Duo pursed his lips and blushed a little. He sat face to face with Shiba on the window seat of the restaurant. The couple who proposed, in such a place, really gave him the illusion that he was dating Shiba.

Thinking of this, Ke Duo involuntarily raised his head and looked at Shiba. He seemed to have always been so indifferent. Even if he invited himself to dinner again, he was always looking at the scenery outside the window absent-mindedly, stirring in his hands. With a cup of hot black tea, he turned his side face to himself, with a serious expression, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, his skin was fair and clear, and his eyelashes were unbelievably long... No matter how you look at it, she is the type of girl who is most attracted to her.

Ke Duo immediately thought of the group of senior girls in the music department who gathered around him after the opening ceremony to inquire about the news of Shiba. There were so many crazy bees and butterflies.

"Sir...would you like to buy a bouquet of flowers for your sweetheart?"

Shiba frowned and stared at a black suspension car parked outside the restaurant. He felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. Suddenly, a delicate and crisp question came from his ear. Ba pulled away from his thoughts, and looked back, it turned out to be a young flower girl.

The little girl looked less than ten years old, and it might be the first time she took the initiative to sell. She looked extremely nervous, her cheeks were flushed, and her almond eyes were watery and hopeful staring at Shiba.

In her arms is a strange bouquet of flowers that she has never seen before, with milky white petals and two long tentacles hanging from the flower core. The stems are pure white, wrapped in elegant light blue The wrapping paper looks fresh and clean, but it is really pretty, but the little girl who is holding it is wearing too shabby clothes. Shiba raised her head and glanced at the counter. The waiter was cleaning the wine glass, probably out of Compassion, let this little girl in.

"How much is a bouquet?" Shiba smiled slightly, and patted the little girl's head. Occasionally doing good deeds is good for physical and mental comfort.

The little girl smiled quickly in surprise, and then timidly replied: "Sir... this bunch is 80 yuan..."

80 yuan...can't even buy a fast meal at Socrates...

Sighing, Shiba took out 100 yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into the little girl's pocket, took the bouquet of flowers, and smiled mischievously at her: "I think it's worth so much!"

The little girl clutched her pocket and muttered for two seconds, then stubbornly took out two chocolates and stuffed them into Shiba's palm, then turned around and ran away without a trace.

Shiba smiled slightly and looked at the direction she left. Yes, she has backbone, she is indeed a good girl.

As for the bouquet in his hand... Shiba sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and it smelled pretty good. When he looked up and saw Ke Duo staring at him in a daze, he handed it over——

"Here, Happy Valentine's Day, here you go~"

Ke Duo opened his mouth stupidly and looked at him for a while, then quickly grabbed the bouquet and covered his head, his cheeks were almost hot after the flowers...

Socrates' jingle rose... symbolizes eternal love...

Under the pillar not far from the hall, Nan Qijin stood in the shadow and looked at this end with a gloomy face.
