Miss Jianxian, you are blocking my delivery of food.

Chapter 8: After picking, run quickly, run faster

Xiao Ye turned around, took out a spoon and chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet behind him and handed them over.

Taking the spoon, Ye Zhibing buried his head and took a bite of the so-called raw beef porridge. When the silky rice porridge entered his stomach, his lower abdomen immediately felt warm.

She was stunned for a moment, then picked up another piece of beef.

With his eyes slightly brightened, Ye Zhibing became slightly interested in the rice porridge that the old couple shopkeepers were cooking in a vat at the entrance of the store.

“It’s smooth in the mouth and has just the right amount of saltiness.”

When she first stepped into the store, the old and crowded environment made her think that there was nothing special about this store. However, she did not expect that even this simple rice porridge could taste like this. .

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Ye, as if she wanted to confirm from the other party that this couple were porridge-cooking immortals who were hiding from the world, mastering exquisite skills that ordinary people would find difficult to learn in their entire lives.

"What are you looking at? What's wrong? Isn't it just an ordinary breakfast? What's all the fuss about?"

Xiao Ye glanced at her with disgust, then picked up the porridge bowl in front of him, blew it a few times, and then slowly poured it into his mouth.

"How much does this rice porridge cost? It tastes so extraordinary. It must be expensive, right?"

Ye Zhibing frowned and began to think about whether he, a swordsman, eating and drinking from the Demon Emperor would damage his reputation as the leader of the righteous path.

No, I already owed two favors. If I didn't make more use of this Demon Emperor, wouldn't I be in a big loss?

Thinking of this, the grudge in Ye Zhibing's heart completely disappeared.

"I told you it's just an ordinary breakfast. I can afford it. How expensive can it be?"

After quickly finishing the porridge in front of him with tea eggs and fried dough sticks, Xiao Ye, who was considered a regular customer, stood up, picked up his phone, and scanned the QR code on the wall.

"Boss, the money has passed."

"okay!"

At this time, Ye Zhibing was almost full. She took out two tissues from the paper box on the side and wiped her mouth without any instruction, and followed Xiao Ye out of the breakfast shop.

"What was that little square piece you were holding just now?"

From the first meeting to now, she found that the other person seemed to care about this small object very much. He never left his body and would stare at this thing and keep giggling in his spare time.

Could it be the magic weapon newly made by the Demon Emperor?
Just now, I clearly didn't see him take out any currency, but he said he paid. Could it be that this magic weapon has the effect of deceiving people?
Ye Zhibing's face was solemn.

"Shou Kun. Bah, it's a mobile phone."

Xiao Ye didn't know what this woman had imagined about him, so he calmly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, handed it to her, and showed a few functions.

Of course, he was not stupid enough to open his browser like this.

"Well, this thing is actually somewhat similar to the sect token over there. Once you learn how to use it, you can transmit sounds through the air, and it can also record the surrounding scenery and people like a projection stone. Yes. , In this world with advanced technology, physical currency has basically been eliminated. You just need to take this mobile phone with you to scan the QR code to pay when you go out."

Pay by scanning QR code with mobile Zongmen token
Realizing that the truth was not what he thought, Ye Zhibing lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in understanding.

"According to what you just said, this mobile phone should be a necessity in this world?"

"That's right?"

Ye Zhibing suddenly looked at him and said seriously:

"Then I'll trouble you, Demon Emperor Qin, to equip me with a mobile phone."

???

no? Sisters, are you really taking advantage of me?

A slight vein popped out on his forehead, Xiao Ye tried hard to keep his tone as normal:
"Why do I have to buy you a mobile phone?"

“Isn’t a mobile phone a necessity?”

"Necessities are necessities of life! Not your necessities!"

Unexpectedly, the majestic swordsman could reach out his hand to ask for something so shamelessly. Xiao Ye couldn't control his emotions for a while, and couldn't help but raise his voice a little louder, which immediately attracted frequent glances from passersby.

Soon, he heard some discordant sounds:

"Who are you? He doesn't even want to buy a mobile phone for his girlfriend."

"It's just that it's such a pity that such a beautiful girl ends up with such a scumbag."

"Hey, do you think I can buy this girl a mobile phone? Is there any chance?"

Depend on!
"She is not my girlfriend!"

My blood pressure is really high, and all my oral habits in the world have been forced out.

After roaring at the unfamiliar passers-by, Xiao Ye took a deep breath, approached Ye Zhibing, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth:
"Ye Jianxian, mobile phones are quite expensive. It must be inappropriate for a person of your status to ask for it from me, the Demon Emperor, right?"

"Why isn't it appropriate?"

Unexpectedly, not only did Ye Zhibing not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment, he also had an unusually bright smile on his face, staring at Xiao Ye with a flowery smile.

"You and I are considered acquaintances. We are both trapped in this strange world. Isn't it natural to help each other? Besides, I owe you two favors. Isn't it just a mobile phone worth my two favors? ?”

You also said we were helping each other, right? ! So where is your help?

And is your favor really worth the phone money? !
Hard. The fist is really hard.

There happened to be a mobile phone store run by an individual nearby, and Xiao Ye motioned for the other party to look over there.

"Hey, have you seen that store?"

"I saw it, what's wrong?"

"That's the mobile phone store."

"so what?"

Ye Zhibing tilted his head and looked at the other party with some confusion.

"You go in and choose whichever one you like."

Xiao Ye's expression was as usual when he said this, and Ye Zhibing couldn't help but be slightly startled by such a wealthy look. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you really going to buy me a mobile phone?"

"Are you thinking too much?" Xiao Ye glanced at the other party with disgust, curled his lips and said, "I just want to tell you, after you finish picking, run quickly, run faster, don't let the boss catch up."

"."

In the end, Xiao Ye bought Ye Zhibing a mobile phone.

Although it is second hand.

When the two came out of the mobile phone store again, looking at each other's smiling faces holding second-hand apples, Xiao Ye couldn't help but curled his lips and smacked his tongue.

Should we really say that women are two-legged beasts that swallow gold?

This should be a passive skill engraved in DNA, right?
Even though he didn't know anything about the world, he could see the most expensive mobile phone in this mobile phone store at a glance.

When she originally wanted to persuade the other party not to worship foreigners and support domestic products, she said calmly:
"Including this mobile phone, all future expenses are lent to me by you, and I will return it to you in the future."

"This day. Bah, what will you do if you don't return it?"

"I am practicing upright martial arts. Such deception and reneging on my word will only shake the Taoist heart and breed inner demons. It will do no good to any harm. There is no need for me to lie to you about this."

Hey, this is good!
Originally, he wanted to ask the other party whether he would be serious in the future, but when he said the next sentence, Xiao Ye suddenly had a bold idea.

It just so happened that the other party had just arrived and had no idea about modern money. By the time she realized it, it would be too late.

Facing her own debts and those two favors
It’s not clear yet, it’s not clear at all.

It doesn't matter if the other party doesn't mean to repay her, he can use this incident to his advantage, point at this double-standard woman from the moral high ground, and poke her spine.

And this dignified leader will definitely feel uneasy because of this. Can't he just take advantage of it?

but.
After all, it hurts my wallet.
"What's next? Where are we going?"

Seeing his nemesis lowered in thought with an expressionless expression, Ye Zhibing thought that this guy was depressed and in a bad mood. He couldn't help but put a faint smile on his face, and casually asked Xiao Ye about his next plan.

Where can I go? I'll find a way to sell it to you.

Xiao Ye glanced at her, fearing that she would see what he was brewing, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"Go to the mall. Since you are planning to stay with me, what else can I do? You must have some daily necessities of your own, right?"

After saying that, he seemed to be sulking and walked forward.

Ye Zhibing saw it and hurried forward.

"Hey, let me tell you. What if, what if, you still can't find a way to go back? What are you going to do?"

After walking through several intersections in silence, Xiao Ye suddenly turned his head and asked Ye Zhibing who was following him.

"Thanks to the memory I read, I can barely live like a normal person now, but what about you?"

"What you, the Demon Emperor, can do, I can't do."

Ye Zhibing's expression was very disapproving.

In her opinion, the Demon Emperor, who had been dominant in the original world for three hundred years, could be forced to flee by herself, and could only survive in this world. What was so difficult to do?
Looking at the other party's expression, Xiao Ye only felt a little funny.

After all, this girl still doesn’t understand what modernity is.

She still placed herself in that so-called genius position, and never thought that she was just an ordinary person now.

I didn't take it seriously at first, but it was only when I was forced to make money because I had to make a living that I realized that this world is actually very cruel.

At first, because he had no identity, workplaces were reluctant to recruit him. After that, he finally had an identity, but he was hit by obstacles everywhere because of his lack of academic qualifications...

Gradually, even he was smoothed away by the cruel reality.

Xiao Ye also knew that no matter what his identity was before, after losing his cultivation and coming to a new place, he was just an ordinary person.

Holding on to your original arrogance and sense of superiority will only make it difficult for you to move forward.

It would be better to start from the beginning and start from an ordinary person. If he can return to the original world, this experience may be able to help him on the road of spiritual practice...

So, Xiao Ye smiled meaningfully.

"Okay, let's wait and see if you can do it."
