"Unwanted money? Didn't you just fish the money out of the wishing pool?" Dan Heng turned his head and looked at her.
"That's money that others don't want. Jiang Fan and I saw them throwing the money in and throwing it away." Xing said firmly.
Jiang Fan also nodded and said yes, yes, that is money that others do not want. Using the money they cruelly discarded to realize our wishes is simply killing two birds with one stone. Their merits are immeasurable.
Although Belloberg is still brightly lit at night, there are very few people wandering the streets at night, especially people like Jiang Fan and March 74 who are wrapped in quilts and sitting on benches. The silver-maned iron guards patrolling nearby frequently turned their heads to look at them, suspecting that they were delinquent boys and girls who had run away from home.
March 7 retracted her head into the quilt and hummed something embarrassing. Although she and Dan Heng had always gotten into trouble because of their recklessness in their previous pioneering actions, they were not so depressed that they would spend the night wrapped in a quilt on a bench. At the very least, they have a house that is sheltered from the wind and rain. That way they are pioneers, not the wanderers they are now.
Xing looked around indifferently, biting his bread and listening attentively to Jiang Fan's story in the book "Seven Mysteries of Belloberg". It was as if he could hear music from unknown sources in a deserted place, and If you suddenly turn around in a crowded place, the wall will turn white or something like that.
Jiang Fan wrapped the quilt tightly around him and told Xing all kinds of interesting stories and contents in the books vividly. He honestly said that Xing was really suitable to be a girlfriend. She could accompany you to explore the world, and she would not dislike you at all for digging through trash cans and all kinds of things. It is a building with light spots and can endure hardships. Even if you eat and sleep on a bench, you will have no complaints. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that March 7 is also very suitable for a girlfriend, lively and cute, and full of energy...
Jiang Fan was thinking wildly when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. When Jiang Fan turned around, it turned out to be Xiluwa, the owner of Yongdong Mechanical House.
"Are you... camping enthusiasts?" Xiluwa held a bunch of unnamed parts in her arms and looked at them with surprised eyes, seemingly shocked by the free and easy style of a few people.
"Xiluwa! No, no, no, kind and beautiful sister Xiluwa!" Jiang Fan turned around diligently, his eyes surprised. March 7 poked his head out slightly, and he could see through Jiang Fan's intention at just one glance.
"You're too polite, what are you doing?" Although Xiluwa was waving her hands modestly, her face was still radiant and smiling.
"For the sake of peace in the universe, can we stay at your house for one night?"
Chapter 13 I do
It was quiet inside the Perpetual Mechanical Room. The light bulbs hanging under the ceiling emitted a faint light and illuminated a corner of the room. The sound of the gears turning was like the sound of the hands of an old-fashioned clock.
As you can see, the room is full of various tools and parts. The bookshelf in the corner is filled with drawings and manuals. Although it looks a bit messy, there are still rules to follow if you look closely. For example, the drawings are placed at the bottom. , and those books were placed on the upper floor to collect dust.
The second floor is Shiluwa's bedroom and several utility rooms. Because it was approaching 12 o'clock at midnight, Jiang Fan and the others were no longer embarrassed to spare a utility room for them to stay, so they paved the way in the center of the hall on the first floor. Bedding, March lamented that the bed on the floor was more comfortable than the bench.
Jiang Fan pushed open the bathroom door and walked in. White hot air was floating in the bathroom. It must be the water mist that Xiluwa had not completely dissipated when he took a bath. When he entered the bathroom, March 7 and Xing were already asleep. Especially Xing, who still had the remnants of hot cocoa on his mouth, and his sleeping posture was very bad, with his whole body squeezed into March Qi in a large font.
Jiang Fan unbuttoned his suit and took it off, put it on the doorknob, turned on the retro faucet, and hot water poured on his thighs. The temperature of the water was not adjusted properly at first, and it was so hot that he wanted to scream, but he was able to adapt. Sex made him adapt to the water temperature in a few seconds, and he even felt a lot more comfortable.
Although a suit makes the person wearing it look tall and tall, and the whole person can't help but straighten the waist, it will be really uncomfortable if you wear it for a long time, especially when you wear a suit to trek through mountains and rivers, and cross snowfields. You have the urge to tear it up on the spot.
It is now 12:06 midnight, and the number of life simulators has been refreshed again, but Jiang Fan just soaked in the water quietly, and leisurely picked up the petals from the flower basket and scattered a few pieces in the bathtub, condensing a flower with water The little duck swims on the water and then collides head-on with a ship, reenacting the Titanic's accident.
[The number of refresh times of the life simulator has been detected, please host to start the simulation. 】
"Let's discuss, can we change the voice to Kiana's or Alicia's?" Jiang Fan took a deep breath, curled up and sank completely into the water.
[How about restarting the life simulation when you have time? You must not bear to let my lovely me be lonely, right? 】
[This handsome young man, I wonder if you are willing to...]
"I do!" Jiang Fan said categorically, his voice had never been so firm, and he was probably just as firm as when he promised his teacher not to sleep in class.
【No matter when and where, life simulator will respond to your expectations. 】
[The life simulator begins~ Let this beautiful life like a flower bloom again! 】
[Please choose three from the following random talents to start the simulation. 】
[The genius inventor with no achievements in history (gold) (locked): You will often sigh, how can you be brilliant when you are already good? Even if you have no achievements in your life, your inventions will one day shock the world. 】
[Four-leaf clover (green): You are born with a four-leaf clover necklace, which will increase your luck. 】
[Position of premature death (white): You are born weak and sickly, and there is a high probability that you will die young in childhood. 】
[I am not Beethoven (purple): Your musical talent is astonishing throughout the ages. It combines classicism and romanticism. You have the potential to become a music saint and a monument to world music. 】
[Two-thorned monkey otaku (white): You are addicted to various animations and can’t help yourself. You stay at home all year round and accomplish nothing. You can only hold a life-size pillow and leave beautiful fantasies. 】
[Light (white/green/blue/purple/gold/red):? ? ? ? ? ? 】
[Aura (blue); you are naturally handsome and have extraordinary bearing, and you can always attract the attention of girls. 】
To be honest, for the simulated entries that appeared this time, Jiang Fan felt that he was more like a version of Beethoven with enhanced appearance. Things like [Stage of Death] and [Two-thorned Ape Otaku] didn’t need to be considered at all, they were passed directly. of.
Among the remaining four entries, the only thing that worried him was light. Literally speaking, the entry of light depends on personal understanding. Light can be used to restore physical strength through photosynthesis, or it can be a sparkling fruit that can move at the speed of light. And light speed kick, he believes that with [the most unsuccessful genius inventor in history] he can develop light to purple.
The combination of "I'm Not Beethoven" and "Magnificent" is like an enhanced version of the master of picking up girls. There is a kind of starting point that was born in 1996. His dream is to be a rap leader. He was a yellow hair in junior high school, a sports student in high school, and a rapper in college. He has innocent eyes and is illiterate. He plays basketball with his hair parted in the middle. He can also start a forum and make comments about Thai pants from time to time.
"Choose [Light] [I am not Beethoven] [Magnificent] and start the simulation."
[The noble and pure soul embarks on a journey, and the simulation begins. 】
[Scene changing...]
[At the age of zero, you were born on a planet full of ice and snow, where wind and snow are raging around the world, and the sky is covered with snow as far as the eye can see. You were abandoned and placed alone on the lid of the trash can with a piece of wood beside you. The card, which reads in black ink, "Great voice, good for fertility, excellent child husband"]
?
Chapter 14 Landau
What a miserable start this is, being abandoned at birth without a mother or father. What’s the difference between this and a start with a baby in diapers and relying on life to survive? Jiang Fan licked his lips, feeling a little flustered for no reason.
[Perhaps God was so kind that he couldn’t bear to strangle a musical genius in his cradle. On a snowy night, a young couple stopped by the trash can. The woman’s belly was slightly bulging, as if she was pregnant. , the man was wearing a white formal dress, looking very noble. 】
......
The time was exactly 8 o'clock in the evening. The giant clock in the administrative square emitted a melodious and continuous chime. Goose feather snowflakes fell from the sky and covered the city. The sharp wind howled, but it still could not dispel the slightest warmth in the city. .
"Recently, Beloberg's situation has continued to take a turn for the worse, and the progress of the marrow mining is still not optimistic. Recently, marrow veins have rarely been discovered..." The young man carefully supported the pregnant woman and walked slowly.
"Well, it will get better. We have to believe in the Great Guardian. At least our Landau family will always..." With a happy smile on the corner of the woman's mouth, she softly comforted the man's emotions, but when she looked up, she saw something There was a baby placed on the trash can. The baby didn't cry or fuss. He tilted his head and looked directly at her.
"Huh? What's wrong?" The young man stopped and followed the woman's gaze, "An...abandoned baby?"
"Well, it looks like he's a boy. He's so good." The woman cautiously approached the baby and poked the baby's white and smooth face. The baby laughed happily and waved its little hand as if to grab the woman's hand.
"Honey, let's adopt him! Look at this child smiling at me~ Doesn't it say "Excellent Child Breeder"~ Maybe this is the guide of fate, right? Little guy~" The woman stretched out her fingers to tease the baby , turned his head and bit his lip lightly, staring at the man with a pitiful expression, and the baby also made a cooing sound as if in cooperation.
The young man reached out to hug the baby and held it up high. They looked at each other. There was no fear of being held high in the baby's pupils, nor was there any panic. Instead, he reached out his hands with great interest to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky. .
"Hahahaha!" The young man laughed boldly and heartily: "You are brave! From today on, you will be a member of our Landau family, and you will follow a different path from those common people! I will train you to be able to serve as Langdao. A man of Taoism!"
......
[When you were one year old, you were adopted by the Landau family. You had your own name, Jiang Fan Landau. Your adoptive father seemed to have some expectations for you. At night, when you were put into the crib, you found that there was someone beside you. There is also a baby sleeping soundly. 】
[When you were two years old, your adoptive mother gave birth to a boy, and your adoptive father named him Geppard Landau. 】
[You grew up healthily and happily. You were interested in all objects that made sounds, and the same was true for your sister Siluwa. The two of you became excellent playmates, and the pots and pans at home were your musical instruments. 】
[At the age of three, you and Shiluwa can already use knives and forks to perform a concert that is not unpleasant at least. Jeppard will always act as the audience and applaud silently, but your adoptive father always frowns at you and Shiluwa. He does not agree with his interests. He believes that as a member of the Landau family, he cannot be obsessed with these things that common people like. 】
[At the age of four, your adoptive father began to train you. Push-ups and running became your main theme this year. Siluva would always sneak into your room at night to play with you, lying on the bed and looking up at the stars together. 】
[You started collecting parts and wanted to give Sylva a guitar you made by yourself on her fifth birthday, and Jeppard became your staunch supporter, because in his eyes, your brother is A powerful person who can lift huge rocks with one hand. 】
.....
I swear, there is no knife this time (probably), everyone should recommend more books~
Chapter 15 Landau’s Choice
[At the age of five, some things are always harder than you think. For example, making a guitar. You don’t know much about the structure of the guitar, so you can only imitate the shape of the guitar in the book and make it. Although it can make sounds. The voice is not really an instrument. As Sylva's birthday approaches, you can only modify it and try your best to perfect it. 】
[This year your adoptive father began to train you in sword skills, and the guard officer of the Silver Mane Iron Guard became your teacher in swordsmanship. You have a strong learning ability, like a sponge absorbing knowledge and skills crazily. Your The adoptive father was very pleased. He patted you on the shoulder for the first time and praised you for being a member of the Landau family. He also readily gave you 2000 Dongcheng Shield as a reward. 】
[For the first time, you took to the streets with a huge sum of 2000 Dongcheng Guild. When you walked, you even walked with your waist straight. You bought sheet music and a night light for Siluwa, and several shell books for Jeppard. Loberg's storybook, with the remaining money, you bought some parts that could be used to make the guitar, and prepared to make final modifications to the guitar. 】
[On the temporary Xiluwa’s birthday, you finally completed the final improvement of the guitar. On the day of Xiluwa’s birthday, you personally gave the guitar to her as a gift, but a trace of displeasure flashed in your adoptive father’s eyes. It seems that he is not satisfied with the gift you prepared, but Siluwa is very happy, holding it and refusing to let go. 】
[At the age of six, you and Shiluwa have reached school age. Your adoptive father sent you and Shiluva to school together, and told you not to interact too much with those civilians. You are a member of Landau, and you are burdened with Different responsibilities than those of civilians. 】
[You and Shiluwa met a girl named Cocolia in school. The three of you hit it off and had an inexplicable love for music. The three of you became the best playmates. You spent most of this year Spend time at school. 】
[At the age of seven, you, Siluva and Kokolia respectively showed wisdom far beyond ordinary people. The top three in the school's performance list have never wavered, but you will always be the first, Siluwa and Kokolia. Chasing each other for second place, you have become a slightly famous young genius in Belloberg. 】
[You always take Jeppard among the crowds in the Administrative Square and hear Mr. Shu tell the story of Beloberg. You mingle with the children in the square and become playmates. 】
[On this day, when you and Jeppard walked into the house, you saw your adoptive father's serious face, and you and Jeppard couldn't help but shrink your heads. 】
......
It was still gloomy outside the window, snowflakes were falling in the direction of the wind, the lights were on in the room, and the atmosphere was inexplicably depressing and solemn.
The door to Xiluwa's room was open, and she poked her little head out to look around. Unsure of her father's serious expression, Jiang Fan pulled Jeppard and asked him to stand behind her, while she raised her head to meet her father's stubborn gaze. and his father looked at each other.
"Where have you been today? Are you hanging out with those civilians again." The man held the ceramic cup in his hand and spoke in a low voice.
The windows all around were closed, and the man's serious voice echoed in the hall. Jeppard grabbed Jiang Fan's clothes and hid behind him and nodded weakly, not understanding why his father was so angry.
"I took Jeppard there. The storytellers in the administrative square will tell many stories about Beloberg's past. Those so-called civilians also know many stories about Beloberg. Those I have never known. I’ve never heard of it, so I want to know more about it.”
"How much of Beloberg's story do those civilians know? How can they understand what Beloberg has gone through? As a member of the Landau family, you should not mix with those civilians. What can you learn? Okay!" The man frowned and was a little displeased. In his eyes, those civilians didn't understand the disaster that Belloberg suffered at all, and those decorated stories were just empty charts.
"But father, I don't think there is anything wrong with being with those civilians. We are all members of Beloberg. Why..."
"That's enough! You have to remember that you are a member of Landao! The destiny you are born with is different from that of ordinary people, especially you, Jiang Fan. I have higher expectations for you. One day you will have to do it too. To make a choice, this is Landau, this is the will of the Landau family!" The man suddenly raised his head like an angry lion, grabbed the ceramic cup on the table and threw it to the floor.
The fragments of those ceramic cups splashed on him, causing some pain, but he did not dodge or speak. Behind him was Geppard. He could avoid these fragments of ceramic cups, but what about Geppard? His calf will be scratched by the fragments. As an older brother, he has to protect his younger brother. This is his responsibility, so he cannot hide or choose to escape.
He also understands the fate that Landau has always been burdened with, which is to protect Belloberg. The burden on his father is far greater than what he can see with the naked eye. But did he and Geppard really do something wrong? The word "landau" was more like a shackle that tightly imprisoned them. He did not want Sylva and Jeppard to be bound by the word "landau".
"You can't hurt your brother!" Xiluwa was like a kitten with explosive hair. She ran over and pulled Jiang Fan to block him and Jeppard behind her. She stubbornly raised her head and looked at her father, without any concession in her eyes. .
The man was silent for a while: "This is the choice of being a member of Landao. No one can make an exception, including you, Siluva."
The man squeezed his palms and looked at the broken ceramic cup on the floor and the pieces that fell on Jiang Fan. He couldn't bear it, but after half a second of tangle, he just flicked his sleeves and robe, snorted coldly and turned around to leave.
"Are you okay? Tsk, that old-fashioned stinky dad always talks about Landau Landau every day..." Xiluwa watched her father's leaving figure disappear completely, then pouted and kicked away the ceramics scattered on the floor. He took the cup fragments and pulled Jiang Fan towards him and looked up and down carefully. After confirming that Jiang Fan was not injured, he nodded with satisfaction and all the worries in his eyes dissipated.
"I'm sorry...brother...it was me who pestered you to listen to those stories." Jeppard lowered his head and did not dare to look into Jiang Fan's eyes, like a little bear who had done something wrong.
"It's not Jeppard's fault, it's my brother who wanted to take you to listen." Jiang Fan rubbed Geppard's hair, thinking a lot in his mind.
If I shoulder the heavy responsibility that Landau carries, will you feel freer?
Chapter 16 Stars under the Night
[At the age of eight, your mother was pregnant again. As the youngest in the family, Jeppard suddenly felt a sense of pride and responsibility. You and Sylva were equally happy, but as you are smart, you gradually developed a doubt. Why do both of your parents have blond hair, Sylva and Jeppard also have blond hair, but you are the only one with black hair? 】
[This year, your relationship with Cocolia has become deeper and deeper. There are always teachers praising you and Cocolia as golden boys and girls. Xiluwa gradually feels inexplicable. She is always comforting herself. If she is the last If a good best friend and a younger brother can be together, that is also a good ending. 】
[You have made rapid progress this year. You competed with the silver-maned iron guard who taught you swordsmanship and ended up tied in a simple swordsmanship competition. The guard sighed to your father that this child will definitely be the top strength of Beloberg in the future, and he is worthy of it. It was the Landau family. Your father laughed heartily, and you saw the relief in his eyes. 】
[Sylva always complains to you that the lighting in her bedroom is very poor. There are no stars at all under the night sky, only the falling snow. She always sneaks to your room at night and lies on your big bed and looks up. In the starry sky, the Milky Way seemed to flow in those beautiful eyes. For a moment, you actually had some kind of emotion for your sister, and you were a little ashamed. 】
[You look at the stars under the night sky, then turn to look at the chandelier hanging on the ceiling. An inspiration suddenly bursts out, and you have a new idea. 】
[You start to study an item called a starry sky lamp. You find that as long as you use the reflection principle of light, you can transmit the starry sky to the wall or ceiling, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky. 】
[You start studying constellations and want to stuff the vastest Milky Way into the starry sky lamp. 】
