"Haven't you ever thought about finding a girlfriend?"
Sitting in the taxi, Liu Nan held the warm sweet potato in her hand. The faint warmth softened her stiff fingers, "I'm afraid you will be orphaned if you do this."
He could remember the cold weather and the cold girls' hands.
Putting aside He Ao's behavior of asking for money, he is actually quite considerate.
He Ao glanced at Liu Nan warily. When someone who owes you money tries to tell you some principles of life, then she most likely wants to default on the debt.
"It's six and a half yuan in total. The most I can give you is the fifty cents. It can't be cheaper. I bought roasted sweet potatoes from an aunt I know well. Six yuan is the purchase price."
You even made fifty cents from me if you turned it over.
Liu Nan's brows jumped.
Then she raised her head, leaned on the back seat of the car and thought for a moment, "How about I exchange a piece of information for your roasted sweet potato?"
"What information?"
He Ao looked at her with interest.
Liu Nan blinked, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "About Research Institute!"
"Okay."
He Ao nodded.
The essence of money is a general equivalent. The essence of how much money you obtain is your ability to exchange for goods worth these amounts of money.
If the thing given by the other party is okay, He Ao doesn't mind skipping the equivalent link and bartering directly.
West Capital University was about eighteen kilometers away from the destination selected by Liu Nan. There were very few vehicles at night, and it only took about half an hour for the two of them to reach their destination.
He Ao glanced at the phone. It was probably around nine-twenty now.
Liu Nan and He Ao got out of the car one after another.
Liu Nan was walking in front of He Ao with her hands behind her back. She was a little bouncy as she walked. She didn't know why, but as long as she didn't give him any money, she felt like she was making money.
The two walked slowly to the edge of a small pier and looked up to see the sparkling water under Moonlight.
"We have to wait for the boat for a while."
Liu Nan said softly, then she looked at He Ao with a smile, "Do you know about talent?"
"I know."
He Ao replied calmly.
"Eh?"
Liu Nan was stunned, "Then do you know Contaminants?"
"I know."
He Ao looked indifferent.
"Ah?" Liu Nan was a little discouraged. She drooped her head like a kitten that couldn't find food. "Then what don't you know? How about I transfer the six yuan to you."
"Is there a hierarchy between talents?"
He Ao asked softly.
"I know this," Liu Nan suddenly became energetic. She straightened up and smiled, "There were none before, but in recent years the number of Transcendental ers has suddenly increased, so Research Institute roughly divided Transcendental ers into six levels."
"A, B, C, D, E, F?"
He Ao raised his head to look at her and asked slowly.
"Well, that's pretty much the way it is divided," Liu Nan nodded. "It is said that there were some complicated proposals at that time, where each level had a name with a few words. Later, Research Institute decided to simplify the names and levels. After all, the standard should be oriented to the most basic people. The simpler and more popular it is, the easier it is to spread and understand."
"Yeah,"
He Ao nodded and looked towards the lake. Liu Nan knew nothing about the world of Transcendental the night before. Today, she was able to share information with He Ao, which proved that she had her own source of information.
This can be explained as Liu Nan learned this Transcendental knowledge through family channels, but judging from the fact that she had no knowledge before, He Ao was more inclined to another possibility, so he asked softly, "What is your talent?"
"Reader"
Liu Nan rubbed her cheek and walked to He Ao. She didn't expect He Ao to guess it so quickly, but she didn't want to hide it either.
"Rank F's talent is that it is easier to understand text and language, and his fantasy thinking ability has improved to a certain extent. My Physical Quality seems to have also improved to a certain extent, but the improvement is not much. It is probably a little better than the average adult male."
The girl stood beside the young man, looking at the sparkling lake together. The bright moonlight was reflected in the silent water, and a white boat slowly sailed from Moonlight.
Liu Nan stood under the street light and waved to Old Man who was sitting on the bow of the boat and driving the boat, "Uncle Xiao, I'm here."
When the boat docked, Liu Nan jumped on the boat and waved to He Ao, "He Ao, get on the boat."
"Are you going home by boat?"
He Ao glanced at the boat in slight surprise.
West Capital is located in the western part of the Republic. Further to the west are the rolling mountains. It is a typical inland city. The surrounding terrain is mainly hilly, and the water resources are not very rich, and there are very few lakes.
He Ao thought for a moment and recalled where he was now.
This lake is called White Bird Lake. It is the earliest large-scale artificial lake of West Capital. White Bird Group has surrounded 10,000 acres of land here, transformed the land hills into artificial lakes with crisscrossed waterways, and then developed real estate and built commercial facilities on the "islands" exposed in the center of the lake and on the edges of the lake.
In an inland city with few rivers, a commercial residence was built that can only be reached by boat.
Of course, the price is also very expensive.
"It's not my house, it's a house that my dad owns here. He likes to come here." Liu Nan shook his head and gestured for He Ao to get on board. "I usually live in a small house I bought near the school, so it's convenient for school."
"Yeah."
He Ao nodded and stepped onto the boat.
Old Man, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, started the boat and swayed along the blue waves.
He Ao looked at the luxurious villas under the street lights along the lake through the hazy night.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Nan came over and found He Ao in a daze.
"Reminding me of an old friend."
He Ao held his head and thought for a while.
"Do you have any friends living here?"
Liu Nan sat next to him in confusion, looking at the villas where most of the lights were dim, "It only looks good here, but the occupancy rate is still very low."
"Yes, yes," He Ao nodded, "I kept him for three months the year before last before I sent him in and got a large bonus. He is very valuable."
Liu Nan:?
How come the development of this story was different from what she expected.
"Then..." Liu Nan tried to follow He Ao's brain circuit, "How many years was he sentenced to?"
"He died last year," He Ao nodded. "Before he died, his lover took his money and ran away with his younger brother. I was the only one who saw him off."
"Did you even see him off?"
Liu Nan was a little surprised, she felt like she was listening to a legend.
"As for the big customers," He Ao said seriously, "You still need after-sales service. My service is very good and has a good reputation. So far, no big customers have given me any bad reviews."
Then he glanced at Liu Nan, "It's the same thing for you. If you are valuable that year, I will go and see you off when you leave."
"No!"
Liu Nan folded his hands on his chest.
She was still young and didn't want to be valuable or be sent off.
At this moment, the boat slowly approached a private dock.
At the edge of the pier, a middle-aged man sitting under the streetlight reading a book slowly raised his head.
