forget the river mirror

Chapter 99 Forge ahead
District Seven.

……

……

Outside the seventh area, the afternoon sun was refracted by the [-]-meter-high transparent isolation belt into a rainbow, falling on the endless plain.

These transparent barriers are not strong, just to protect the fields from being damaged by animals in the wilderness, and there are no IPC garrisons around the barriers.

Because no wilderness dared to come to the seventh district to make trouble, this is the confidence of the extraordinary capital.

In the field, bionic robots are controlling huge farming machinery, taking care of the rice and wheat that will be supplied to the entire Federation.

The track of the air rail train, like the rainbow on the plain, turned into a beautiful arc, leading to the seventh safety zone.

……

Before the train reached the seventh district, the announcement sounded in the carriage.

[Thank you for taking the T2399 intercity sky train, arriving at the station ahead, District [-]-Jingluota Station, Jingluota Station is the terminal station of this train, please bring your belongings and get off at the door on the right side. 】

Lin Chuan in the carriage stood up, hugged Xiao Hua, and looked out the window.

At this time, he had a panoramic view of the entire Seventh Security Zone. This was the first time Lin Chuan saw the whole security zone, because the upper floor of the Seventh Zone was the only city in the clouds that was not covered by holographic projections.

It was only then that Lin Chuan discovered that the buildings below the 99th floor were actually load-bearing columns in the city of clouds, and the entire seventh district stood like a huge mushroom on the plain.

The City of Clouds in the Seventh District instantly attracted Lin Chuan's attention. Not only Lin Chuan, but also those in the carriage who came to the Seventh District for the first time all gave out different levels of exclamation.

……

"It's really a palace in the sky (que)."

"Mom, is that Asgard?"

"That's the legendary Xiantian City..."

……

Jing Xuan next to Lin Chuan also had a shocked expression on his face. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only choked out two words:
"Brilliant!"

In fact, it is no wonder that Jingxuan lacks words, Lin Chuan didn't think about how to express that shocking emotion for a while.

Under the clouds, there is clearly a steel forest full of neon lights, which is a standard cyber world, but above the clouds, there are pavilions, terraces, pavilions and houses.

Among them, there are many towers and palaces that Lin Chuan looks familiar with... I think it should be a 1:1 reproduction of those famous buildings in Chinese history.

The closer you are to the safe zone, the stronger the feeling of stepping into history. It wasn't until the air rail train entered the checkpoint that the city in the cloud completely disappeared from Lin Chuan's vision.

Jing Xuan shook his head, and added another sentence with unfinished thoughts:
"It's awesome..."

Lin Chuan looked away, rubbed Xiao Hua's head, and said with a smile:

"Soon you and I will stand on that cloud, because I only do three things when I come to the seventh district, get off the order, get off the order, or fucking get out of the order!"

……

Jing Xuan turned his head in surprise, and looked at Lin Chuan. The smiling face was obviously the same as before, but he just felt that Lin Chuan had changed a little today.

Lin Chuan didn't pay attention to his gaze.

During the more than 30 hours on the road, Lin Chuan didn't care about the current situation of Lingan Company, didn't enter Xianfan to complete the task, and even let go of the excitement of seeing Ali soon.

He just wanted to understand one thing, that is, a person should not be overly cautious, that would make people weak.

Prudence only works when making small decisions, and life-altering ones require a dash of recklessness.

Things that change the world always happen by chance and coincidence. Only those unimportant things have the most comprehensive plan.

People's hearts can be counted, but they will not be changed by his thoughts.

Lin Chuan has been doing addition all his life.

If you want to go to the ideal university, you must add knowledge to your head.

To make up for tuition fees, you have to add the burden of part-time jobs to yourself.

If you want to come back alive from the slave catchers, you need to add cultivation.

Wanting to change the world, wanting to get more right to speak before the Mysterious Mirror Realm comes, so he is burdened with the Lingyin Company again.

But he spent more than 30 hours to complete the subtraction for himself.

All disappointments come from expectations, and now Lin Chuan has let go of all expectations, just like Xiaoyou, what he is looking for is a clear idea.

When he saw the city in the clouds, he was about to stand on the clouds and trample the entire Seventh District and the entire Federation under his feet.

He thought of A Li, and wanted to keep the girl who likes to call herself sister by his side forever.

This is what he thinks at this moment.

The rest is to move forward.

……

The seventh district, the 33rd floor of the Whalefall Tower.

As soon as they got out of the station, Lin Chuan and his party felt the difference in the seventh district.

There are no mechanical prosthetic bodies all over the streets here, and there are even few floating cars waiting for passengers at the gate of the station.

The ground is paved with quaint bluestone, and even the bridges connecting the buildings are not made of lightweight hard plastic materials, but the most traditional wooden bridges.

Because of the city in the clouds, the lower floors of the safety zone can only see sunlight during certain periods of time, so the light pollution in the eighth and ninth districts is very serious. Everywhere you can see, there are all kinds of bright lights. Fluorescent lights, and gorgeous neon lights.

There are also a lot of neon in the seventh district, but the colors are not so complicated, and most of them are cool colors, giving people a very clean feeling.

The residents here seem to like classic things very much. Men like to wear robes and mandarin jackets, and most women wear retro dresses and cheongsams.

This gave Lin Chuan a strange sense of separation. He just walked through a platform, but it seemed that he had walked through the gate of time and space and returned to the Great Shanghai in the era of the Republic of China.

……

"Sir, do you want to stay in a hotel? There is a girl from Yichunyuan."

But the pimps in front of the station, except for wearing black mandarin jackets, are no different from the eighth district.

"Hey, what kind of programs are there... Hey, don't drag me, your waist is useless, but mine is useful..."

Before Lin Chuan came back to his senses, the second bald man happily chatted with someone, so he had no choice but to pick up his collar and drag him away from here.

When they got out of the platform, they realized that there were quite a few floating cars waiting for passengers, but those floating cars were all made into the style of classic cars in appearance.

Only then did Lin Chuan feel that it was more reasonable.

Aesthetic retro is reasonable, but there is no need to reject the convenience brought by technological development to life.

Therefore, the Seventh District only stipulates that high-precision machinery is not allowed to enter, and does not prohibit those equipment such as magnetic levitation elevators and floating vehicles that are needed in daily life.

After getting on the floating car that had been booked long ago, Lin Chuan also discovered the benefits of bringing Xiao Taohong here.

Because of hotels, restaurants, and accompanying local drivers, his "secretary" has already arranged all the trivial matters for him in advance.

Although the current Lin Chuan is not as good as Pu Shuo, his savings have already reached six figures. If he does not buy real estate, he can already be regarded as a rich man in the federation.

Lin Chuan is not a miser, earning money is spent, so when Xiao Taohong asked him about his travel budget, he just replied: "It's good to be comfortable."

So Xiao Taohong directly chose the hotel in the "Utopia-Peace Hotel" which is the closest to Chaofan Academy and occupies the 97th to 99th floors of the Chenshuang Tower.

There is no safe area that will refuse the ideal consortium to enter, even the seventh district, known as the extraordinary capital, will not reject this God of Wealth.

……

……

sunset.

Lin Chuan and his party ate their stomachs in the Chinese restaurant of the hotel, and then returned to the presidential suite on the 99th floor of the Chenshuang Tower.

Xiao Taohong found a bedroom very sensible, and closed the door after entering. A qualified secretary would not disturb the boss's private life.

……

Lin Chuan lay lazily on the sofa, Xiao Hua, who had just eaten, yawned in his arms, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.

The dog who was full was also lying at his feet, sticking out his tongue happily, reminiscing about the delicious food just now, real beef is much more delicious than synthetic meat...

Jing Xuan was wearing a soft and thick bathrobe, standing at the window with a wine glass in his hand, looking down at the bright building.

"Tsk, why don't you say that the Fengqing shop here is not called Fengqing shop, but Yichunyuan. I just asked for a long time before I got the address. I thought it was some kind of opera garden."

"Your waist will be karma sooner or later."

Lin Chuan sneered, and turned his head away. He thought Jing Xuan would say something bold, but Er Bald still couldn't change his nature.

Jing Xuan turned his head, and said very seriously:

"The reason why you live so tired is because you think too much, and you value your feelings too much. If you raise a fish, you will be very sad if the fish dies, but if you raise a pond of fish, do you care if one dies?" ?”

Lin Chuan seldom saw Jing Xuan with such a serious look, so he frowned and asked a little puzzled:

"You mean you want me to build a fish pond? Find a few more girls?"

Jing Xuan shook his head, hating that iron could not be made into steel, and said:
"Your pattern is still not open, why do you have to raise fish? If you want to eat fish, just go to the restaurant and order one."

"Fuck off!"

Lin Chuan directly pulled out the pillow behind his head and threw it away. He shouldn't expect to have anything good to say from the second bald man.

Jing Xuan was not angry either. After avoiding the pillow, he kicked the dog away and sat next to Lin Chuan:
"Speaking of business, I'm going to sign up for the Extraordinary Academy tomorrow, are you nervous?"

"Aww! (Grass mud horse!)"

Gouzi cursed in a straight voice, and then changed to another place and lay down on the ground. If he hadn't just eaten too much and was too lazy to exercise, he would have had to fight Jing Xuan.

"Why are you nervous, I just don't know if I can see Lao Wu and A Li."

Lin Chuan raised his eyelids and responded casually.

Jing Xuan said excitedly:

"That's the city in the clouds. Even Ideal University, the federal highest institution, is only open on the 99th floor. The Extraordinary Academy is the only school in the city of clouds. If it weren't for Jue Ling, we would never be able to go there for the rest of our lives."

"I only care about whether I can see Ah Li there..."

Lin Chuan was only halfway through speaking when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Hello, is Mr. Lin Chuan in?"

The lazy smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and the transparent silk thread on his wrist protruded like a poisonous snake hunting.

Seeing his alertness, Jing Xuan tensed his nerves, walked cautiously to the door, and asked in a deep voice:
"Is there a problem?"

"Miss Jiang sent an invitation for Mr. Lin Chuan to attend the banquet."

The voice outside the door was still unhurried, Jing Xuan hesitated for a moment before opening the door, but felt that his eyes went dark, and his whole body was shrouded in shadow.

Jing Xuan was two centimeters taller than Lin Chuan, a full 1.8 meters five, but compared to the behemoth at the door, he looked like a child.

The "giant" laughed honestly. His body, which was almost as wide as the door panel, was packed into a bookish robe. Lin Chuan could even see the tight muscle lines under the robe. No matter how he looked at it, There is an indescribable sense of incongruity.

The big man stroked his shiny head, looked at Jing Xuan, and asked in surprise:

"You are Mr. Lin Chuan?"

"I'm Lin Chuan, is Jiang Li looking for me?"

Lin Chuan put away the silk thread on his wrist, and asked kindly. He could feel the purity of the giant from the clear eyes, as if he was similar to a child.

"Well, Miss Jiang Li invites you to the banquet. I'll wait for you at the door."

The big man looked at Lin Chuan with some disappointment, responded politely, and then turned and walked towards the elevator. Every step he took gave Lin Chuan the illusion that the ground was trembling.

Maybe in the eyes of a big guy, bald is good-looking...

Only then did Jing Xuan come to his senses, and said cursingly:
"Why do you only call you and not me!? Damn it, you two have been like this since you were a child. When you were a little bit older, you used to flirt with each other every day. You just don't play with me."

"Go to the restaurant and order some fish. I have to meet my family, A Li."

Lin Chuan shook his head with a smile, and took out the suit that A Li bought for him from the ring.

It's just that those trembling fingers still exposed Lin Chuan's excited mood.

Ever since Lin Chuan knew that the Jiang consortium might be behind A Li, he didn't think it was any surprise that A Li could know his whereabouts.

But Lin Chuan had envisioned countless scenarios of reuniting with A Li, but he never thought that on the first night when he arrived in District [-], he would be able to see the girl who made him so dreamy.

After changing into the suit with excitement, Lin Chuan also found out the pomade, and carefully pushed his hair back in front of the mirror.

But I always felt that there was something missing. After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that when I was a double, I bought a bottle of expensive perfume.

After spraying on the perfume, Lin Chuan looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction:

"Tsk, you don't have to be so perfect."

Jing Xuan couldn't complain anymore, even the dog couldn't stand it anymore, and retched.

"Ao~(哕~)"

Lin Chuan put on his leather shoes and smacked Gouzi's butt with his foot. Then he put on a perfect smile, opened the door and walked out.

……

At this time, Lin Chuan was not a system wholesaler, nor was he the behind-the-scenes boss of Lingyin Company. He was just a big boy who combed his hair to look like an adult and wanted to meet his sweetheart.
