"!!!"
What in the world?
Shen Jie stared, looking at Liu Hai, who was fluttering in the strong wind, and the hand above.
Jiang Lin withdrew his hand from the back of Shen Jie's head, revealing what was in his palm... half a corn cob.
At this moment, at the nearby spicy hot pot stall, the quarreling young couple stopped arguing.
They quickly ran over.
The girl said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect it to fly over to you..."
As she spoke, she pinched the boy's waist.
The boy yelped in pain and apologized, "Brother, I'm really sorry, are you guys okay?"
Shen Jie belatedly realized what had happened and looked at Jiang Lin, who was calmly putting down the half corn cob.
A storm surged in his heart.
However, there were other things to deal with.
Shen Jie said to the young couple, "You guys be more careful next time. It's no joke if this corn hits someone on the head."
"Yes, yes, we'll definitely be careful next time. Sorry..."
The couple was very polite, and Shen Jie had something on his mind, so he didn't say much more.
He waved them away.
After the couple returned to their table, Shen Jie immediately turned to Jiang Lin.
His eyes lit up, "Brother Jiang, thank you for that just now. You... you've been trained, haven't you?"
That skill, that reaction speed, was amazing!
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, "Mm."
He supposed he had been trained.
"I knew it!"
Upon receiving a positive answer, Shen Jie's eyes shone even brighter.
Who knew a master was right beside him!
"Let's go, Brother Jiang, see what else we want to eat. Order whatever you like!"
Shen Jie's tone was particularly bold and enthusiastic.
Seeing this, Jiang Lin didn't stand on ceremony and ate from one end of the street to the other.
Shen Jie got full halfway through. Seeing that Jiang Lin could still eat,
He looked surprised, "As expected of someone who's been trained!"
Even their appetites were different!
Jiang Lin, who was eating tofu pudding: "..."
He didn't know what the other person was so excited about.
However, after two hours of interaction, Jiang Lin had a general understanding of Shen Jie.
—He yearned for magical power and believed in the light of Ultraman.
But in reality, he was quite timid and afraid of the appearance of supernatural powers.
He was relatively simple-minded and a bit of a simpleton when it came to things that interested him.
When meeting strangers for the first time, he could still show a bit of kindness and help out.
His personality was stable and cheerful, and he probably had good social skills.
All in all, he was a good and honest person.
As a human, he would be quite reliable, whether as a friend or a partner.
...
When they left the snack street, Shen Jie was almost going to throw up from being too full.
In contrast, Jiang Lin's abdomen was flat, and it was impossible to tell if he had eaten enough.
Shen Jie held his waist and walked step by step towards Roland Residential Area:
"Brother Jiang, let's have another good meal when we have time~ *hic* Let's exchange contact information."
Jiang Lin paused.
He knew how humans contacted each other, but...
"I don't have a phone."
Speaking of which, one essential item in human life was a mobile phone.
"..."
Shen Jie was stunned for a moment. His first reaction was that this big shot was unwilling to give him his contact information.
But a final struggle made him tentatively ask:
"How about we go buy a phone?"
Unexpectedly, the other party agreed.
"Mm," Jiang Lin.
Shen Jie: ...Damn, he really didn't have a phone.
"Brother Jiang, you're not, like, someone who just came down from the mountains, are you?"
Jiang Lin glanced at him, unsure how the other person's thoughts had jumped.
Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't speak, Shen Jie took it as his tacit agreement.
He was secretly excited, feeling like he was living in a fantasy movie.
"Brother Jiang, I'll go buy a phone with you!"
On the other side of the snack street was Century Plaza.
They reached it after only a few steps.
Led by Shen Jie, Jiang Lin bought a phone and got a SIM card.
They exchanged contact information.
The entire process was ordinary and smooth.
There were no plot points like the store clerk looking down on the buyer or a certain rich second generation showing off and getting their comeuppance, as often seen in novels.
Shen Jie couldn't help but sigh, "Reality is indeed reality."
Where were there so many dreams coming true in reality?
Jiang Lin looked at him strangely, not knowing what he was sighing about.
He thought about the bullet comments from human viewers, which seemed to be in this style.
After returning to the residential area, the elevator ascended to the 15th floor.
"Brother Jiang, see you tomorrow."
"Mm."
...
"I'm stuffed—"
Back in the house, Shen Jie took off his shoes and collapsed directly onto the sofa.
Recalling Jiang Lin's actions that night, he felt a surge of excitement.
As expected, when a master makes a move, you know it!
After the excitement, he took out his phone and checked his balance.
He felt a pang of regret.
He had originally thought, how much could they spend at the snack street?
Each item was only a few yuan.
Who would have thought that Jiang Lin would eat from one end of the street to the other, and then from the other end back to the beginning, without even taking a breath?
Even a competitive eater couldn't do that!
"As expected of someone who's been trained!" Shen Jie sighed.
Money spent is like water spilled.
It was worth it to make a new friend.
"Right, let's see if the streamer broadcasted today."
Shen Jie opened the 'Daily Healing in the Underworld' live stream. Although it was still a black screen,
His excitement was undiminished.
It was rare to have a neighbor with the same name as the streamer, and he was also a martial artist.
Wouldn't he want to share this with his viewers?
"Heh heh! Brothers, let me tell you..."
...
Next door, 1503.
Jiang Lin was playing with his phone.
Beside him was the instruction manual he had just finished reading.
After a practical session, Jiang Lin had a good grasp of the basic operations.
Just as he was wondering if he should download some software to play with, the drift bottle in his arms suddenly stirred.
Although he looked no different from a human in his current state, he was actually still a ghost.
However, he had contained his ghostly energy very well, so even if others stood next to him, they wouldn't feel any coldness.
Nor would they be affected.
Jiang Lin put down his phone and took out the drift bottle to look at it.
The paper strip inside was restless.
He opened the strip, and it still contained the same information.
"Does the information only update after this wish is fulfilled?"
Jiang Lin guessed, placing the restless paper strip on the coffee table in front of him.
As soon as the paper strip was free, it began to move.
However, its speed was like that of a snail.
Each movement was only about one centimeter.
Jiang Lin: "..."
The information on the paper strip was very scarce. If he had to search based on this information alone, it would be too slow.
It seemed that this small paper strip also had a function to assist in finding the target.
Jiang Lin looked in the direction the paper strip was moving, which was north.
Just as he was about to get up and take a look, he noticed that the paper strip in front of him suddenly stopped moving.
And Jiang Lin's extended perception also found nothing.
"Is it time-bound?"
Does it only appear at a certain time?
Was the paper strip's restlessness because the target person appeared within the residential area, or because they had just made a wish?
Jiang Lin leaned towards the latter.
The address given by the paper strip was within Roland Residential Area. If the person didn't live in the residential area often, the address should have changed.
However, he would only know the specifics when the paper strip became restless again.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lin put the small paper strip back into the drift bottle and put it away.
Then he opened the newly purchased phone and familiarized himself with it further.
In the darkness,
The phone's light illuminated Jiang Lin's face, which was serious.
...
