Single Unlimited Wonderful Life

The magical and handsome spells, the terrifying and mysterious corpse monsters, the style that mixes horror and humor, and the ultimate evil prevailing over good, these elements deeply attracted Jincheng Zhai Qianye.

After watching several movies in a row, Jinchengzhai Qianye was also a little tired. Although watching movies is a kind of entertainment, when your emotions follow the movie, it will inevitably consume double energy of the body and mind, so when When the screening ended, she felt both satisfied and tired.

After dinner, the two people did not stay in the apartment, but left the apartment on foot and headed to Akihabara.

Although Akihabara is not the core area of ​​Tokyo, it is still a relatively prosperous area. Especially for otakus and otakus, it has a transcendent meaning, so you can see many men and women dressed in otaku styles here.

At this time, Jinchengsai Qianye was wearing a decent skirt, but Levi did not hide his identity as an otaku at all, wearing a pain shirt with Hatsune Miku's pattern on it.

Jinchengsai Qianye looked at the pedestrian street with people coming and going, and sighed: "Only in a big city like Tokyo can we see so many young people. In my hometown of Sapporo, the streets are the most crowded. The most common ones are elderly uncles and aunties."

Li Wei said: "Because Neon's three major metropolitan areas are sucking blood from the surrounding small cities, young people will naturally enter the three major metropolitan areas to work and live for their own future, until they are completely eliminated. , will return to the small city where they were born. Therefore, except for the three major metropolitan areas, all places are facing a serious aging problem."

Li Wei wanted to complain in his heart. In fact, China has followed in the footsteps of neon, and the birthrate and aging population are also very serious. In big cities, because there are a large number of young people from outside to fill the labor force, they have not yet felt such a crisis. However, small cities in various regions are beginning to fall into an aging crisis like Neon.

The two of them chatted and came to the door of a comic shop. Jincheng Zhai Qianye stopped at the door. He saw the giant poster posted at the door of the comic shop. The characters on it could be said to belong to many people. Memories of childhood.

"Wow! I didn't expect to be able to see "Sailor Moon" now! Is this style of painting a reset?! It's unbelievable!" Jincheng Zhai Qianye exclaimed in excitement.

Not only Jinchengzhai Qianye, but also Levi was stunned, but unlike the girl, he already knew that "Sailor Moon" was going to be reset. After all, such a classic IP would not be easily reset. Let it go. Moreover, the story of "Sailor Moon" itself is also quite good, and the story structure is not outdated even now. In addition, Neon has extraordinary popularity, so it is normal to reset it.

Levi said: "The news of the remake of "Sailor Moon" has been reported half a year ago, and now, the remake has already been broadcast to the third episode."

Jinchengzhai Qianye said in surprise: "Damn! I don't know about such an important thing."

Jinchengzhai Qianye put most of her energy into studying before. In addition to studying, she worked all kinds of part-time jobs. She didn't have much time for entertainment. She tried her best to rest as much as possible. Therefore, the response to news from the outside world is a bit slow, and it is normal not to know such things.

Levi said: "I have a membership to a film and television website. If you want to watch it, I can project it directly onto the TV and you can watch back any plots you missed."

Jinchengzhai Qianye grabbed Li Wei's hand, suppressed his excitement and said, "Then please!"

It was rare for Levi to see Jinchengzhai Qianye being so excited. He could only say that everyone has their own childhood memories, and it is normal to have difficulty controlling their emotions when it comes to childhood memories. Just like when he was a child, he seemed very mature to others, but he would actually secretly watch "Magic King" (domestic translation: Light Messenger) and "Demon Heroes" (domestic translation: Dragon Fighter).

Of course, with the passage of time, the playback of neon animations on TV has been restricted, so the new generations who are younger than Levi have changed their childhood from various classic animations to "Bear Bears" and "Pleasant Goat". I have to say, the gap is a bit big.

Levi let go of the girl's hand and said, "Would you like to go in and take a look? This time around the reset of "Sailor Moon", I heard old friends on the forum saying that the plot of the new version will be closer to the original comic and not like the old version. That would be a magical transformation.”

Jinchengsai Qianye said: "But I have not read the original manga of Sailor Moon. I am directly exposed to the anime. I don't know the differences between the new version and the old version, and what changes have been made in the old version. Know."

Levi said: "Actually, whether it's animation or comics, it all depends on what you like, and there is no standard. But times have changed, which I can understand."

Jinchengzhai Qianye felt that Li Wei wanted to say something, but Li Wei just shook his head.

Jinchengzhai Qianye is not a real otaku, so she is not aware of the changes in the otaku circle over the years. In the past, the otaku circle was just a circle of fanboys who formed their own groups without any profit purpose. They just gathered together because of pure hobbies. It’s a small circle, so it’s more pure. But now, all kinds of chaotic people have poured into this circle, making the whole circle a mess.

Many problems can be seen from the current comic exhibitions. The comic exhibitions here in Neon have become a means for call girls to sell their sex. Now these call girls have learned to dress up in costumes of various anime characters. Carry out COS, use this method to make quick money, and such special services also attract a large number of special guests, and the nature of the comic exhibition has suddenly changed.

It is precisely because of these things that cosplay nowadays gives people the impression that it is not serious. This is actually normal, because today's cosplay is really not serious, but it is interesting.

All the female Bodhisattvas were dressed in sexy and revealing clothes, and they were willing to let the homeboys take pictures with their cameras. Would these female Bodhisattvas allow such a thing before?

If it were in the past, these female Bodhisattvas would be looked at with salty eyes by the otakus, and they would all curse, "It's disgusting to be a dead otaku."

In addition to these people with other purposes entering the circle, the second biggest problem is all kinds of "little devils". Originally, this circle was harmonious but different. I may not like what you like, but everyone respects and understands each other. But today's "little devils" are always the best in the world. If they don't look at XX, they are stupid. They cause wars and quarrels everywhere, causing chaos wherever they go.

It is precisely because of these changes that Levi has now entered a great stage. When someone asks him if he is a dimension, he will just say "Dimension? I just suck at watching animations" to deal with them.

Chapter. Comic Shop

Levi took the girl's hand and entered the comic store. Because the sky was gradually getting dark, the bright lights in the room made the girl a little uncomfortable.

"So many comics! This kind of bookstore that specializes in comics is hard to find outside of Tokyo." Kinjo Sai Qianye said in surprise.

"Because only Tokyo has such strong spending power. If a store like this were to open elsewhere, it would be a dead end. Now is an era where it is difficult to survive with electricity." Levi sighed. .

Times have changed. In the past, it was possible to maintain operations with Aidian. Now, if you use Aidian, you can only drink from the northwest wind. After all, Tokyo is a neon metropolitan area, and its overall consumption power is much stronger than that of other regions. If such a special store is opened in Akihabara, tourists from all over the country will come to spend money. If such a store is opened, In terms of locality, most people will not take a taxi to go shopping. Akihabara has large-scale group gatherings, and only in this way can we survive.

This kind of business method is most common for ordinary people in food streets. People passing by the food street have to spend money at another place if they don't want to spend money here. The same is true here in Akihabara. A large number of otaku shops are grouped together and use their scale to attract otakus from all over the country and even the world. Even if each person's single consumption is not much, once the number increases, the number is still huge. of.

Levi said: "If you have any comics you like, just pick them out and I will pay the bill when the time comes."

"I can handle this kind of thing by myself. I have already received too much help from you. If I have to ask you to do this kind of thing, then I will become a useless person who does nothing." Cheng Zhai Qianye said.

Levi felt the girl's persistence and said: "Okay, but now you are my chief financial advisor. Your income is already much higher than when you were working before, so don't work as many jobs as before. No, that would be too tiring, and it would also affect your study."

Jinchengzhai Qianye nodded. Li Wei's words made her feel that her will was respected. She didn't like being given unilateral charity, so she would try her best to be herself when getting along with Li Wei. Things within my power~.

"I know that I won't work so many jobs in the future, but it's a relatively easy job. It's a pity to give up like this." Jincheng Zhai Qianye said.

Levi is proficient in mind-reading and can see the girl's inner thoughts. The two jobs that the girl doesn't want to give up are the type where she can do a lot for less. One of them is a job in a convenience store, and the other is a job in Chiyoda. As a cashier at a bookstore in the district, the income from both jobs is not particularly high, but considering that the work intensity is very small, the price-performance ratio is still quite high.

He understands that the girl does not want to completely rely on him. This kind of thing is normal. The girl is a relatively independent personality, and she also has self-esteem far beyond other girls. What she needs is not glory and wealth, but the care and concern of her partner. respect.

Therefore, Levi's targeted strategy is very simple, that is, after ensuring the most basic material conditions, give the girl enough respect and respect her abilities and personality.

This kind of thing is relatively simple for men from Chongguo, but it is a bit difficult for Neon. Nowadays, men in Neon are polarized. Some men choose not to get married, so they don't care about women's affairs at all. Their idea is very simple, that is, it is enough to live their own lives well. The other type of men who are willing to get married are the so-called "motivated" men. In this group, there are many male chauvinists. They cannot see that their partners are capable. For them, women You should just stay at home and be a housewife.

Of course, there is something even more bizarre, that is, someone who eats soft food and is a chauvinist. When Li Wei learned about this for the first time, he also found it incredible. It was an old man who was almost seventy years old. His wife He is a restless person who has been learning and growing from young to old. Now his earning power has reached its peak in his teens, and his personal income can support his family. But this old man is very stubborn. He can even tell his wife to get out of the house even if he is eating soft food. If his wife doesn't want to get out, he will move out and rent a house. The most important thing is that he even pays for renting a house and eating outside. Given to me by my wife. Being able to be so strong-willed even though you are eating soft food is a unique skill.

Of course, these few extreme exceptions cannot represent the general public, but here in Neon, a considerable number of men who are willing to get married retain traditional masculinity. This is an indisputable fact.

After Jinchengsai Qianye separated from Li Wei, she went to the female-oriented comics section. It had been a long time since she had browsed a bookstore as easily as now. In a big city like Tokyo, the pressure to survive is also quite high. If she doesn't want to She caused too much trouble for her family and didn't have much time for her own entertainment. As for paper books, the ones she read most were school textbooks.

Jinchengzhai Qianye stopped in front of Danmei District. When she looked at the bookshelf, she found that the pictures drawn on the spines of the books were quite bold. Just looking at them made people's heads spin. She quickly left Danmei. She was afraid that she would be distorted on the bookshelf in the area. She felt that she was a very normal person, so she just had to maintain her current normality and don't be led astray by some messy things.

On the other hand, Levi was wandering around in the comics section of the men's shop. The comic shop was no longer small, and the works on the bookshelf were very rich. The basket in Levi's hand had already been placed high. "The Gathering" by Rumiko Hashiashi, and "The Little One in the Fairy Forest" by Yuuto Kashiki.

·Asking for flowers·· ·······

Levi has already collected "Lucky Boy" and "Ranma/", and now that he has rarely seen this ancient comic "Meeting Together", his heart is naturally moved. As for "Little Ones in the Fairy Forest", this work has not been completed yet, it is just a stand-alone book. However, Levi likes the story of this series very much. "Little Ones in the Fairy Forest" reminds him of another work with a warm and plain style. "The Witch of Sho".

Of course, Levi discovered another cute-style comic in this comic store, "From the Abyss." But after watching the anime, Levi didn't plan to buy any more comics. Being stabbed once was enough.

While Levi continued to wander, a comic with a very bright spine appeared in front of him.

"Wagtail Goddess? I remember this is also a very early work. There was an animation before. As for the animation, I only watched the season. Now it is said that the season has been out for several years. Well, hiss... it looks like this There are quite a few female characters appearing in the work." Li Wei whispered to himself.

Because he had only watched the first season of the anime, Levi was not able to sort out the plot smoothly, but he knew that this was a work about a female character engaging in a battle royale, which was equivalent to the comic version of Chicken Dinner. However, the chicken game was only released seven years ago, and this work created by Sakurako Kukakuin started serializing four years ago, more than ten years earlier.

Levi didn't have much expectations for the plot of the comic. There was only one thing on his mind right now, and that was to go to the world of this work and kidnap some cute girls back.

However, his ability to time travel requires the use of film and television carriers as a medium. He has tried to use comics to travel through time before, but it was very difficult and almost impossible to locate the opposite side. As for the animation adapted from the comics, he can accurately locate the opponent and even accurately determine the time when he enters the world there.

Levi sighed inwardly, fortunately this work has an animation adaptation, otherwise it would be a real pity.

Levi's ability to travel is very powerful, but when using novels or comics as coordinates, it is too strenuous. Levi estimates that maybe when he becomes stronger, this strenuous feeling will gradually weaken, but now , the most friendly ones for him are still various film and television media carriers, animation, movies, TV series, and games. These types of carriers are stable and safe for time travel, while novels and animations cannot guarantee even the most basic safety for time travel.

Chapter. Return to China

When the two met at the checkout counter at the entrance of the comic store, Levi saw that there were already many books in Jinchengzhai Qianye's basket. His senses already told him what content was inside, but He didn't intend to reveal it.

In Jinchengzhai Qianye's basket, the top layer contains normal cartoons, but the ones below are mixed with some inappropriate content for children, but these contents are only female-oriented.

Jinchengzhai Qianye finally bought those comics. Just like men like to see beautiful girls posting pictures, girls, on the other hand, are also inexplicably interested in this kind of thing.

Levi said: "You have finished selecting so quickly?"

Jinchengzhai Qianye said with a smile: "I am quite certain about the content I like, so I don't need so much time. Having said that, Li Weijun, you already have enough comics in your study. Even so, you still like it so much." Buy new comics."

Levi said: "For the comics you like, you can't just leave them in the store, but let them appear on your own bookshelf. Of course, this kind of thing depends on your own financial resources, just do what you can."

If ordinary people want to collect comics, they also need considerable financial resources. First of all, the price of the comics themselves is there. Although it is cheaper than regular literary books, it is not much cheaper. The second is the bookcase where comics need to be placed. This thing also takes up a lot of space. If there is no suitable storage place and can only be piled up, the comics will be easily damaged.

After the two people completed the checkout, they left the comic store. Levi found a remote corner and released his little warriors, asking these little guys to go back to the apartment with the comics they had bought.

Jinchengzhai Qianye looked at the little warriors who were holding comics and gradually turning invisible in the air, and said: "If you use magic outside, what if someone discovers you?"

Levi smiled and said: "I still have some confidence in how to hide myself."

Levi has already practiced the hidden magical powers he exchanged on the floating island to a small level. Even if there is a stronger existence than him, it is not easy to find his traces, and after casting the spell in secret, It is even more difficult to detect.

Although the exchange price for hidden magical powers is not cheap, in Levi's view, it is a necessary expense, and the input-output ratio is very cost-effective, and now he has adjusted his bottom line even lower, consuming Points can be redeemed quickly.

After returning the rather unpopular comics to the apartment, the two of them continued to wander around Akihabara and bought some more things. Levi bought a few figures, all of which were of a very shameful type. It is the kind of revealing figure that normal people would be embarrassed to show off. Of course, a shameless person like Levi would not care about such a thing at all. For him, being sufficiently astringent is the most important criterion.

As for Jinchengzhai Qianye, he bought several female-oriented picture albums. Li Wei has mind-reading skills, so he would not misunderstand him as a rotten girl. However, Jinchengzhai Qianye does have a hobby in this area. It's just that the depth isn't that scary.

The two men carried their things and were in no hurry to return to the apartment.

Li Wei said: "Qianye, if you don't go back to celebrate the New Year, what should you tell your family?"

Jinchengzhai Qianye said: "I haven't thought about the reason yet, but I already have a general idea."

Li Wei said: "If it doesn't work, just tell your family directly and go to Chongguo with me."

Jinchengzhai Qianye smiled bitterly and said: "If I explain it directly, my parents will definitely keep asking questions, and it will be quite troublesome. And they will definitely not trust me to follow someone they don't know to a foreign country. , if you really say that, they might come to Tokyo right away.”

Levi nodded. Normal parents care about their children, so it is normal to be like this. After all, girls are different from men. It is easy for girls to suffer when they go out, so personal safety is very important.

Although there is no need to consider personal safety when following him, Jinchengzhai Qianye's parents don't know about such things, so it's normal for them to be worried.

Li Wei said: "My mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. I can understand the thoughts of my uncle and aunt."

Jinchengzhai Qianye said: "I'm a little envious of you, Li Weijun. Your uncle and aunt are so confident that you can study in a foreign country alone."

Li Wei smiled and said: "Because I mature earlier than my peers, I am not easily fooled, and I am cautious by nature. I always pay more attention when I go out. It is precisely because of this that my parents let me go." I came here to study, but accordingly, I would often call to report that I was safe."

The two returned to the apartment and began to pack away their comics. Jincheng Zhai Qianye also had her own room in the apartment, and her room also had bookshelves. After returning to the apartment, the little rikishi did not enter her room. Instead, she put the comics she bought on the coffee table in the living room and put the things away herself.

In the following period, Jinchengzhai Qianye began to practice with the assistance of Li Wei. As for learning Chinese, she needed to wait until she had a certain foundation of practice.

Different from the girls on the floating island, the girls on the floating island completed the "foundation building" with Li Wei's fellow practitioners. Their strength was given by Li Wei, so Li Wei can understand what he has learned His skills and magical powers were quickly taught to the girls on the floating island. But Jinchengzhai Qianye just let him give guidance, and actually relied on her own strength to practice foundation building. With Li Wei's help, she saved several years of hard work than ordinary people, but foundation building is This kind of thing cannot be completed in a short time. Carrying out "insight initiation" before establishing the foundation will damage her cultivation potential, which is something Li Wei does not want to see.

Li Wei didn't want to reveal his true secret, so in Jin Chengzhai Qianye's practice, he followed the traditional Qigong practitioner route, a route that although not very efficient, was very stable. When the time comes in the future, let her take the route at that time.

Jinchengzhai Qianye's own talent for cultivation is not very high. Even with the guidance of a "famous teacher" like Li Wei, it took him quite some time to find the Qi Sense. After he found the Qi Sense, it took him more than half a month to find the Qi Sense. Complete foundation building.

By the time he completed the foundation building, it was already almost the New Year's Eve. After having a foundation of mana, Li Wei immediately used his enlightenment, allowing Jincheng Zhai Qianye to learn Chinese overnight. He was still unable to understand except local slang. In addition to Qing dynasty, she already has a good grasp of Mandarin.
