Chapter 273 Anchor Point
"Where did you talk about last time?"
"Speaking of you just becoming the only Hanabi on Edo Planet, An Ming is planning to establish the World Tree Technology Company," Qian Ming looked at Hanabi speechlessly. What's wrong with this person? He even forgets his own story.
Hanabi smiled brightly, pressed Xiao Qianming's head and said, "That happened hundreds of years ago. It takes a lot of energy to recall it."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Hanabi, please continue with your story."
Qianming sighed helplessly, but considering that Teacher Hanabi had finished all his summer homework for him, he at least showed respect.
It's not a problem to ask him to assassinate difficult targets, but it's totally impossible to ask him to do meaningless summer homework.
I didn't expect Hanabi's hand speed to be so fast, so fast that Qianming suspected that she was just guessing the answers to the multiple-choice questions.
"Then the great Hanabi-sama will continue to tell the story about the trickster."
Hanabi cleared her throat, and her eyes, which always sparkled with a mischievous smile, now had a hint of seriousness, so serious that to the Fool, those were also irreplaceable and important memories.
To this day, she can still tell that story, not because her memory is so good, but because she always misses that carefree life.
In life, we always have to shoulder a lot when we grow up.
Hanabi's childhood was not happy. It was more like hell than unhappiness. It was a pain that no one would want to experience again. But for her, it would just be to meet An Ming again.
Even if it's hell, it doesn't matter.
She would rather exchange misfortune and pain for that moment of light.
...
...
"Don't blink~"
The cards passed through his fingertips like a flowing river, and only one card finally landed in his palm. "Let me guess, is this the card you just picked?"
When the suit of the poker cards was revealed, the girls gathered around the desks exclaimed in surprise.
"Hanabi-san, you are simply a genius."
"Yes, yes. Not only do we have to come to school, but we also have to perform at the new theater during our spare time."
"Yes, you have such a good personality and many suitors...Oh, I envy you so much."
Facing praise from her classmates, Hua Huo simply pushed up her black-framed glasses and smiled peacefully.
At school, she likes to put on the mask of a good student, which can reduce a lot of trouble and gain a little bit of "privileges".
"Nowhere."
Hanabi smiled as she handed out ten tickets, "I'm already very grateful that you all came to support me, and I hope you can come to tonight's performance as well."
The play Fireworks gained some fame as soon as it was performed, becoming the top play of the new theater and even making the area around the theater the hottest area in the town.
Although the tickets were not expensive, they were not a small expense. Hanabi's actions made her very popular in school, and almost everyone liked her.
"Oh, sorry, it's almost time for rehearsal."
Hanabi held the black leather bag in both hands and placed it in front of her skirt. Her neatly combed long black hair swayed gently, bringing with it a pleasant fragrance.
There is always a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, making people feel as gentle as a spring breeze.
Succubus.
This is what people say about Hanabi in private, but it is a completely positive comment, meaning that no matter whether men or women, young or old, they cannot resist the strong personal charm that Hanabi exudes anytime and anywhere.
But this is a lie.
Rehearsals might be necessary for ordinary actors, but Hanabi never needed that kind of thing.
[The 341st performance of the play Fireworks is about to begin]
The billboards outside the square are filled with fireworks dressed in gorgeous costumes. The girl holds a fox mask in both hands with a beautiful smile on her face. This scene is the best promotional label.
Fireworks don't need rehearsal, they perform themselves, so why do they need rehearsal?
She is Hanabi, and what she shows on the stage is herself.
"Brother~!"
Hanabi threw herself on someone's back with a genuine smile on her face.
An Ming turned his head slightly and smiled helplessly, "Skipping class again?"
"Those courses are too easy for Hanabi," Hanabi said in a pitiful manner, "Those wasted time are all the time I spent with my brother."
"It's about time you changed your name."
"No."
Hanabi refused bluntly, "Even if Hanabi becomes a thousand-year-old old woman, brother is still brother."
An Ming couldn't help but smile when he heard that. By that time, they would all be old men and women.
"How is the company doing?"
"Well, thanks to you, the sales of the potion are very good," An Ming nodded slightly, raised his head and looked at the three-story building not far away, which was the prototype of the World Tree Technology Company.
As for what the future will be like, he doesn't know either.
"So, tonight's performance..."
“I’ll be there.”
An Ming agreed to Hanabi's request. Over the years, he was always busy with the implementation of plans and rarely went to the theater to watch Hanabi's performances.
At the beginning, Hanabi's acting skills were a little awkward, but now she has become a well-known actress and has won the love of many fans.
Hua Huo stared into An Ming's eyes, the smile on her face remained unchanged, but she couldn't help feeling a little lost in her heart.
As an actress, she can perfectly control her facial expressions and firmly capture the audience's hearts with her gorgeous performances.
But the only thing he couldn't control was An Ming's heart.
Maybe... the Trickster has no heart?
Hanabi only wants Anming's heart, others'...are not important.
Why doesn’t my brother understand such a simple truth?
Still pretending not to see...
Hanabi pursed her lips. Perhaps from the very beginning, her love would not have any result.
Being a chess piece peacefully is the best ending...?
"Hanabi."
"Ok?"
"I will leave here once the nine anchor points are completed," An Ming mentioned this with some relief in his eyes.
"Leave...where to go?" Hua Huo was slightly stunned. The universe is so vast, it would be fine if she was with An Ming.
“Who knows, maybe somewhere I’ve never been.”
An Ming stroked Hanabi's head, "I once met a man who told me a lot of things, and for this reason I must become a fraudster."
"Brother, what exactly are you trying to cheat for?"
Hanabi couldn't think of this, but it made sense, he was a fraudster, he would definitely cheat her of something she couldn't even imagine.
An Ming stared at the sky, as if looking at someone outside the sky. "A magician cannot reveal his method, and a fraudster naturally cannot reveal his goal."
“Otherwise it would be meaningless.”
Hua Huo pulled An Ming's sleeve, and the two walked into the restaurant one after the other. The town of Tavi has been transformed from what it was ten years ago, and is gradually taking on the appearance of a city.
Both infrastructure and entertainment methods are gradually catching up with interstellar levels. More interstellar companies have seen the potential of threshold potions and have moved into Edo Star with investments, which has naturally led to the upgrading of infrastructure.
"How big will the bigger stage be?" Hua Huo poked the soft cake with a fork and looked at An Ming curiously.
In her impression, the newly built theater is already a very large stage, and the auditorium can accommodate 500 people at the same time.
The kind that you can't see the end of at a glance!
"Ten thousand people?" An Ming's expression did not seem to be joking, but he was thinking seriously, "Wouldn't a hundred thousand people be too many..."
"Pfft."
Hanabi smiled and gently touched Anming's leg with her right foot wearing clean leather shoes under the table, "There is no such a big theater, stupid brother."
"There is nothing to build. After all, I promised you."
An Ming said as he took out a test tube with a light golden liquid shaking from his pocket. "Look, this is a hundred times concentrated soul cherry extract. Use this as the base of the anchor point, and then add weapons that match the frequency band to attach them, and you can create an immortal spiritual weapon."
"don't know."
Although Hua Huo is smart, she always feels like a fool in front of An Ming, and can only go back to school to restore her self-confidence.
"First anchor point, I want to use your mask."
Before An Ming even finished his words, Hua Huo handed over the life-threatening mask without any hesitation or doubt, "Okay, then I'll wait for Brother's work."
"it is good."
An Ming solemnly took the fox mask with both hands. Hua Huo's smile was reflected in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel confused for a moment.
He is a liar.
Can even a bad person like him be trusted?
An Ming smiled self-deprecatingly. He had deceived Hua Huo's feelings at the very beginning of their meeting, but the girl never left. She would wait for him to wake up at the table every morning.
She is always there.
Not even one complaint.
When Anming studied all night, it was Huahu who brought him steaming hot coffee and a small blanket.
Also for An Ming, Hua Huo is willing to perform the same play again and again, just to gather more soul cherry blossoms and provide raw materials for An Ming.
World Tree Technology has never been a company owned by An Ming alone. At the beginning of its establishment, 51% of the shares belonged to Hua Huo.
Even if he died, Hanabi would live.
But for someone like him, who has no future since he was born...what right does he have to love?
Is all that is left in the end, pain and lies?
"elder brother."
"You're crying...?"
Hanabi stood up and wiped the tears from his eyes with a tissue.
It turns out that fraudsters can also shed tears.
"Hanabi."
"I won't leave my brother."
"Yeah... I know." An Ming took a deep breath and returned the mask to Hanabi. "Let's continue when we get back to the lab."
The atmosphere in the restaurant remained the same, but Hanabi sensed a hint of murderous intent that was so heavy that it was falling to the ground.
