Chapter 890 Mood
I found a building and sat there waiting for the next day.
During the long night, I looked through the "Illustrated Book of Higher Plants" that Earth Snake gave me. It seemed like this was the first time I got a book by myself after entering the "Land of the End".
I don’t know about it for other people, but it sure is a nice gift for me.
Although I never choose "plant illustrations" when buying books myself or borrowing books from the library, it's good to be able to add a little knowledge here.
Since I met Aries, I gained knowledge much faster when talking to him than when reading a book. It seems that I am slacking off and I should not stop reading.
There is indeed a bit too much academic content in this book, and it is difficult for me, a person who barely understands botany, to read it.
Each plant has a Chinese name, Latin name, morphological characteristics, pictures, and uses. When explaining flowers, the flower language of each flower is even written in a very fashionable manner for people to refer to.
I imitated Aries and read all night long. During this period, I tried hard to forget what I was doing and immersed myself in the plant world as much as possible. As expected, I didn't feel any fatigue at dawn. I just lowered my head and read for a long time. Some soreness in shoulders and neck.
I put the book away and faced the morning sun to Aries' venue, preparing to ask him for a long vacation. If he agreed, I would return the book to Earth Snake in the afternoon and start my own journey.
I have been reporting here almost every day for more than a year. I have become a lot stronger, and now I also want to do something of my own.
Thanks to Jiang Ruoxue, I find that I seem to have become more assertive than before.
"Bliss Bank" is still as terrifying and powerful as before. It doesn't need a "zodiac" to operate on its own.
On the outermost gambling table, gamblers place bets on their own, willing to accept defeat.
As soon as a white light comes on, gamblers place bets one after another. When everyone knows that there is a "zodiac" sitting here, no one dares to default here. If you lose, you give money, if you win, you take money. The rules are extremely simple.
Even if you lose without a penny left, it is definitely better than being beaten to death by "Zodiac".
After all, Aries, who was reading a book in the room one second, will appear behind him the next second when he hears someone questioning the results of gambling.
Just looking at the other person with those eyes is enough to scare the other person out of fear.
"Lottery" and "money bank" are even more worry-free. Aries will only come forward to meet some "big customers" from time to time.
The standard for "big customers" is to deposit eighty "Tao" chips at one time. Those who can take out such chips are definitely among the famous and powerful people in the "Land of Ends".
"Brother Yang." I found him in the office. He was not reading today, he was just in a daze.
I called him several times and found that he had no response.
Strange...it's obviously morning now...
I remember that Aries would only be in a daze in the afternoon, but now they are also in a daze in the morning?
"Brother Yang...?" I called softly again.
His eyes were obviously open, but he was staring ahead blankly.
If you forcefully wake the other person up during hypnosis or sleepwalking, it may have far-reaching consequences, but I have no choice but to leave without saying goodbye.
Just as I was hesitating, I suddenly thought of Jiang Ruoxue.
Didn't she already teach me how to do it?
I walked forward, looked around Aries Xizhou, and finally could only focus on the table in front of him.
I reached out and knocked on the table hard.
"Dong dong dong"!
Although Aries didn't wake up, I clearly saw his expression change, which really worked.
"Dong dong dong"!
I knocked on the table again, and Aries immediately came back to his senses and looked at me blankly.
He first looked at my clothes, then at the tattoo on my hand, and when he gradually showed a puzzled expression, he finally looked at my face.
For a moment, his expression calmed down.
"Yan Zhichun...?"
"Yes, Brother Yang, I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"
"No." Aries quickly looked around Western Zhou's environment, seeming to determine where he was.
After a few seconds, he stood up and came to the bar next to the office, where there were drinks and coffee powder sent by some "big customers". But Aries said he doesn't drink, so these things are probably used to entertain distinguished guests.
"Would you like anything to drink?" he asked.
"Don't drink. I'm here to ask for a leave from you." I said, "I won't be able to come to you for almost a reincarnation."
Aries nodded and did not reject me.
"You look like you're in a good mood," he said to me.
"Well..." I smiled, "I have figured out a lot of things. I am ready to stop being passive and pursue what I want just like I pursue my own goals in life."
"Okay." Aries nodded, "Is one reincarnation enough? If not, you can add more. You have already helped me a lot. There is no need to be so tired next time."
"Brother Yang..." I smiled and asked him a question I had been holding back for a long time, "How are you lately?"
"I recently……?"
"To be honest... you seem to be in a good mood." I said, "Is it because this game has made you rich? I always feel that you are not as heavy as before."
"How should I put it..." Aries poured himself a glass of water, took a sip and said, "This game was originally developed according to my vision. There is nothing to be happy about."
"and you……"
"If there is anything that affects my mood... it is that I have admitted a few really annoying students. They give me trouble all day long, but... this feeling is not bad." Aries' mouth curled up slightly. Yang, I actually saw him chuckle.
God, the iron tree is really blooming.
"Student...?" I nodded pretending to be calm, "So will "Prefectural Zodiac" still accept students?"
"I also found it very troublesome at first." Aries said, "I rejected the huge number of "human-level zodiac signs" and just wanted to be alone. But Dilong told me that if the "earth-level zodiac signs" refused to lead the students, then It would violate the rules. After all, the "zodiac" also needs to be passed down, so I could only randomly pick three human classes that no one wanted. "
"ah……?"
Although it's a bit ridiculous, I have to say that this is very consistent with Aries' style...
"I didn't expect them to be interesting." Aries said, "Originally I planned not to eat, but it feels good to be able to sit with them every day and say a few words at the dinner table."
It seems that what I guessed before is absolutely correct. Aries will mistake this feeling of staying together as "family".
This is what he lacks the most.
Even if the other party is a few problematic people that no one wants, as long as Aries can say a few words to them, a bond will naturally be established——
I am sincerely happy for Aries.
Before I could say "congratulations," Aries changed the subject and said, "But... days like this will eventually end, right?"
"Finish?"
"Every feast in the world will come to an end." Aries said, "When you have feelings, you will have a handle, and when you have a handle, there will be pain points. One day... others will threaten me just like I threaten them."
"But you are strong enough." I said, "How can a truly strong person be afraid of threats?"
"What if I forget them?" Aries said.
