Silin was immersed in the book and copied all the information into his brain. He didn't care about the gazes of the other two people in the display area at all. As long as there was no danger, Silin would not come out of that state.
After flipping through the books on the shelf that he felt were more useful, Silin chose ten of them. When he turned around, he saw that the other two people were looking at him strangely. After Silin nodded at the two with a smile, he said to the shop assistant, "I'll take these ten."
"Oh … Al … Alright, please wait a moment." It was only then that the shop assistant came back to his senses. He scanned and demagnetized the ten books Silin had chosen and marked them with the words "Bookstore Celebration Quiz First Prize" before passing them back to Silin, "Please collect your VIP membership card at the main service counter."
"Alright, thank you."
After Silin left, the shop assistant was still a little incredulous, "Jincheng, did he really finish reading?"
"He should have memorized the books he read."
"Is he even human!? Although I've heard that there are people with photographic memories, it's creepy to hear someone scanning like a machine like this. "The shop assistant even shuddered as he spoke.
"There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons among the new students this year." Ci Jincheng closed the book and put it back on the shelf. "I'm leaving too. I'll come back when I have time after the registration. The new batch of books will arrive in two days. Someone will contact you guys. "
"Alright, I'll let the store manager know. I've already submitted my graduation application, I believe we'll get a reply soon. When the time comes, I'll leave the arrangements to you. "
Ci Jincheng made a "don't worry" gesture and left the display area as well.
The ten books Silin had chosen were all large hardcover books. He couldn't just casually put these ten books into his subspace here. He couldn't take the risk of exposing the secret of the ring, but it was too strenuous to carry them on his back either. Therefore, Silin took care of the books and contacted someone in the store to send them over after he was done with the registration. Because Silin was the winner of the quiz first prize, the store didn't charge him extra for taking care of the books.
Silin was stopped as soon as he walked out of the bookstore.
"Douance Silin, please wait!" Ci Jincheng held a book in his hand as he strode forward quickly.
"What is it?"
"I just want to remind you that the winners will be shown on the big screen in the shop. Although there are no images, people will still pay attention to them. It's common for seniors to bully freshmen here, but if you can't find concrete evidence, the security team won't do much."
Hearing this, Silin smiled. "Thank you for the reminder. May I ask who you are? "
"My name is Ci Jincheng, and I'm also a new student this term. However, I'm pretty familiar with Seven Lights University, so feel free to ask if you need any help."
Silin thinks for a moment and said: "Do you know anything about the trade zone? Do you know which hoverboards are more affordable? " Since Ci Jincheng had shown his good intentions, Silin did not refuse. After all, in this new and complicated environment, one more friend meant one more help.
"I know a good hoverboard shop. It's the new student season right now, so there should be a lot of special offers. However, the quality is pretty good. I've bought one there before."
Ci Jincheng brought Silin to the shop, and the flashing screen at the entrance showed the hoverboards on sale. Silin looked at the real thing. It was not bad, and it was very affordable. Moreover, it came with two coupons for the open-air tea restaurant at the top floor of the commercial building.
In order to express his gratitude towards Ci Jincheng, Silin used the two complimentary tea restaurant coupons straightaway.
There were many round or square tables of different sizes placed on the top floor of the commercial building, and there was even a large parasol on top of them. People in groups of three to five took the elevator to the top floor after they were done shopping in the commercial building and ate snacks.
It wasn't rush hour right now, so there were a few empty tables. Silin and Ci Jincheng sat there drinking tea and chatting about Seven Lights in passing. However, eight people surrounded them not long after they sat down.
"Yo, so you guys are here. How disloyal. You didn't even invite us when you came up for tea." One of them greeted them warmly. They looked like they were very close brothers.
Silin and Ci Jincheng exchanged a look with each other. Trouble was coming.
The eight of them surrounded the small table. The person who greeted them pulled a chair over and sat beside the two of them. He grabbed a piece of dessert and placed it in his mouth. "I heard that the two of you just got some money. To be able to answer those perverted questions correctly, you're really good kids who love to learn."
That was what he said, but there was obvious mockery in the person's eyes. To people like them, anyone who could answer those questions correctly was a nerd, and nerds were easy targets to bully. They had always looked down on these sickly literary people.
Silin had changed into a new set of clothes after they left the port, and Ci Jincheng was not dressed ostentatiously either. Both of them were dressed in casual clothes that were not luxurious, and it was impossible to discern their identities. It was no wonder these people picked on them so quickly. They were certain that Silin and Ci Jincheng did not have much support behind them.
However …
The person's hand holding the snack froze in midair and even began to tremble — a gun barrel was pressed against his head.
Other than Silin, the rest of them did not even see Ci Jincheng's movements clearly. They only felt that a gun had appeared out of nowhere, and it was only when their heads were pressed against that they suddenly realized that the other party had taken out a gun at some point in time.
Gun control was very strict in Seven Lights, and most people did not have the qualifications to be equipped with a gun. These people did not expect that one of the two people they had their eyes on who looked like easy targets would be equipped with a gun. Moreover, this seemingly genteel guy was absolutely powerful!
The eight of them were stunned. It was obvious that this was the first time they had encountered such a target after bullying people so many times. They did not dare to run or shout even if they wanted to. Even their breathing was cautious. No matter how many of them there were, they were no match for a gun. It was as if there was an icy hand strangling their necks in the air, and a chill instantly spread throughout their bodies.
Silin was only surprised for a moment the moment Ci Jincheng took out a gun. Other than that, no other change in his emotions could be seen. He continued to drink tea and eat the snacks. It would be a waste if he did not eat what he had paid for.
Ci Jincheng's free hand held a teacup and drank leisurely, "I am a genteel person, and I do not like to solve problems with violence."
Genteel my ass!
The eight of them shouted in their hearts. Holy shit, this is the way to solve problems without violence? What about the violent way? Is it a high energy laser cannon?!
"We … we …" The person who was pressed against the gun stuttered for a long time and almost bit his own tongue.
"Scram." Ci Jincheng did not want to hear an explanation at all. This so-called explanation was pure nonsense. He moved his finger, and the gun disappeared. Ci Jincheng withdrew his hand and continued to drink his tea. He did not look at the person at all.
They knew that the gun did not disappear. It was because the other party's movements were too fast, and they could not capture his movements at all.
From the moment Ci Jincheng took out a gun, even an idiot understood that this person was not to be trifled with. They would be idiots if they continued to stay here!
Ci Jincheng did not even look at the fleeing people. His scholarly smile was still on his face, "In Seven Lights, the best way to solve problems is absolute suppression."
Silin raised his cup and gestured, "Good idea."
After they finished their tea, the duo exchanged their numbers. Then, Silin stepped onto his newly bought hoverboard and headed towards the global train station. There was a special slow lane in the air, and it was a passage for flying tools that were not fast like hoverboards. As for fast flying tools like flying cars, they had their own lanes.
Silin bought some instant snacks and put them in his bag so that he would not have to look for another store when he was hungry. Riding on the hoverboard, he looked at the tall buildings on both sides and the pedestrians below from the sky. It was a different feeling. Silin did not use the manual rudder because it would consume even more energy. Energy ores and energy storage boxes were not cheap, and Silin was confident that he could control the hoverboard without the manual rudder.
When he arrived at the station, the next train was still twenty minutes away. Silin put away the hoverboard, bought a newspaper and waited not far away from the platform.
The good thing about a hoverboard was that it did not take up much space after it was put away. The one meter long hoverboard was less than twenty centimeters after it was put away. Since his bag was filled with food, the hoverboard was put away by Silin.
"Hey, that little kid over there!"
No one answered.
"Hey, that little kid reading the newspaper over there!"
Still no one answered.
"Hey, that little kid with a hoverboard on his left and a bag on his right is reading 'Seven Lights Weekly'!"
