Doomsday Totem

Chapter 479 Dreams
In this way, amidst the warm cheers, Lu Dali started his speech.

"I, Lu Dali, am a skilled worker. I deal with machine tools and parts every day, so I'm not very good at talking. Please forgive me if I say something bad." After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone. bow.

"Brother Dali, we love to hear what you say." "Come on! Brother Dali!" Under the stage, several children shouted loudly, they were the ones who were listening to the story under the tree that day.

"Thank you for your trust, Dali started to talk..."

"Since I was a child, there has always been a problem that has puzzled me, and that is..." He paused, looked around, and continued, "Why can't Chunqiu Heavy Industry produce qualified Fenglin Huo anymore? "

"180 years ago, our ancestors came here empty-handed."

"They reclaimed the wilderness, planted trees and farms, and built factories. Everything was started from scratch..."

"However, in that most difficult era, they used the most primitive equipment and the most backward technology to make the most excellent machinery in the world, and they still let us bathe in glory!"

"But why today, our technology is more advanced and the equipment is better, but we can no longer make a real Fenglin Volcano?" Lu Dali asked.

Thousands of pairs of eyes blinked in the audience, listening quietly.

"That's because they have a fire in their hearts, a belief..."

"For this belief, they melted their souls and lives into steel to create the world-famous Fenglin Volcano!"

"So, what is this belief?"

"Can it be eaten as a meal?" Lu Dali asked seriously, and everyone burst into laughter, and then he asked himself and answered, "Obviously not."

"So, to illustrate this belief, I had to tell a story."

"I hope everyone can listen patiently, and don't be too verbose..."

"Yeah! I heard another story." As soon as the words fell, the children in the audience burst into joy.

"The story I want to tell is neither a heroic deed nor a historical poem, but a..." Lu Dali thought for a while and said, "An ordinary, small story."

"More than ten years ago, there were two teenagers..."

"They are all orphans. They grew up eating hundreds of rice. They are best friends. Their favorite thing is to listen to old people's stories about the past under the big banyan tree."

"The poem of the bright moon, the rain that falls on the city, the light without stars, the image of the mountains..."

"They all yearn for the heroes in the story, and always dream that one day they can follow them and make a difference."

"However, they are all weak and weak. They have neither strength nor knowledge. They have to rely on everyone's support even for a living."

"Until one day, one of the teenagers made up his mind and said to his friend..."

"I want to go out to learn skills, and when I have learned it, I will come back and forge swords for heroes. Forge the sharpest sword in the world, and then walk side by side with them!"

"So, they made an agreement, one will stay to watch the house, and the other will go out to explore..." As he spoke, Lu Dali took out a letter from his pocket and opened it carefully.I saw that the envelope was a little yellowed, and the letter paper turned out to be a crumpled piece of advertising paper.

"Dear friend, I haven't seen you for half a year. I miss you and everyone. When I first came here, I thought, I'm going to write to you and tell you what a beautiful place this is. The streets are neat and beautiful. Clean, walk through the whole street, there is not even a scrap of paper, only colorful flowers and green grass, and many beautiful little girls. The people here are very good-looking, well-dressed, and polite, unlike us There, everyone speaks in a rough voice."

"However, two days after I came here, I gave up on this idea."

"Behind the prosperity is coldness and cruelty."

"Here, I can't afford to stay in even the cheapest hotel, and spend all my money in one night."

"I want to rest under the eaves for a while, and within half an hour, someone will drive me away."

"Here, even the cheapest fast food, I can't afford it, so..."

"I can only sleep under the overpass and fight for food with stray cats and dogs."

"I don't have legal identification and I'm not old enough, so I can only hide in a back alley and wash dishes for restaurants all day long."

"Dear friend, I don't want to complain to you, but I can't help it."

"The weather is very cold today, and I caught a cold again, but the owner of the restaurant still won't let me take leave. He said that if I don't wash it, I will ask someone else to wash it. His restaurant has to be closed. There is no other way, so I have to bite the bullet and wash it. But I was dizzy, and I accidentally broke the plate, and the boss hit me on the head with a rolling pin, which made me bloody. He also threatened me that the police would arrest me and go back.”

"I'm under the overpass right now, writing to you with a candle. The north wind is blowing outside, it's cold, it's really cold, it's so cold that I'm shivering all over."

"I always think, those heroes in the story, they are strong-willed and persevering, what they have experienced is nothing compared to my little pain?"

"But I'm afraid I'm going to die here, so I must write to you."

"If I can't make it through, I hope you can still remember me, remember having such a friend, remember the agreement between us, and remember our dream."

"Forge the sharpest sword in the world for heroes!"

"Also, don't tell other people what I told you. Because when I left, I said that I went to relatives, so don't let them worry."

After reading the first letter, Lu Dali put it away carefully, took out the second letter and read it.

"Dear friend, I have finally collected enough tuition fees to become a student of the Archimedes Institute of Technology."

"However, just when I thought everything was going well, fate played a cruel trick on me."

"Over the years, I have worked three jobs a day without interruption or rest, but the money I have saved is only enough for the first year's tuition."

"And now, I have severe tuberculosis again, and I have to take a lot of medicine every day, and my chest hurts like a fire..."

"Sorry, every time I write to you, I just complain to you."

"But, who wants you to be my best friend? If I don't complain to you, who can I complain to? Who will listen?"

"I have to admit, I'm not a strong person."

"Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed that you came, carrying a big bag of fruit, standing at the door with a silly smile..."

Then, Lu Dali read the third letter.

"Dear friend, I'm here to complain again, but this time it should be better than before, at least physically."

"In this city that is both familiar and unfamiliar, I am a complete outsider. I have no relatives, no friends, and no social interaction. Not to mention nobles, even ordinary people are unwilling to make friends with people like me."

"I don't fit in here. Of course, I don't have the time."

"Originally, I thought that I would go on like this forever..."

"Sometimes, I would imagine myself as a lone ranger, with a sword in his hands and a journey to the end of the world, walking in impermanence."

"However, I feel lonely now."

"The thing is, in the library I often go to, there is a very beautiful female librarian. She wears the uniform of the student union, wears big glasses, has long braids, has a bookish look on her body, and speaks in a low voice. , she has a very sweet smile, which makes people feel very comfortable. Every time I pass by, I will sneak a few glances at her, and I feel very happy."

"Unfortunately, just a few days ago, she suddenly had a boyfriend. The two of them were sitting across from me, making each other's love, which made me both sad and envious."

"To be honest, I also want to walk in a quiet garden with such a beautiful girl, whispering to each other and envious others."

"But I understand that all of this has nothing to do with me. My world is only piles of books and endless dishes."

"Dear friend, do the heroes in your story ever envy others?"

"Here, I want to make an irresponsible request..."

"Before I go back, you are not allowed to find a girlfriend, so it's settled."

After reading the three letters, the audience fell silent.

After receiving the letter, Lu Dali stared at the audience and said loudly: "Brothers, sisters, seniors, the reason why I am standing here today is not to compete for the CEO..."

"Because there is someone more suitable than me."

"He has firm beliefs, rich knowledge, tenacity and tenacity. When he came back, I deliberately made things difficult for him and alienated him, just to see if he had changed his original intention? Are he qualified to lead us..."

"Lu Dali, what the hell are you doing!" "Dali, you should lead us! We only believe in you!" "Yes, we only believe in you!" Before Lu Dali finished speaking, there was a commotion below.

"Although he is still a little immature, I believe he..."

"We don't believe anyone but you!" "It's useless to say anything, we don't believe him!"

"Those who support me, please support him, and those who believe in me, please trust him." Lu Dali said sincerely.

"Impossible!" "We will never accept it!" "His heart has been polluted, he only thinks about money, and only wants to sell the factory!" Several young people rushed to the stage and shouted.

"If even this kind of person can't lead us, no one can. I beg you, trust him!" Lu Dali roared loudly, his knees sank, and he knelt down directly!

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and everyone's expressions froze.

Seeing the seven-foot man kneeling down suddenly, Qi Yun couldn't control his emotions anymore, rushed up to the podium, and tried his best to pull up his friend.

"Brother, a man has gold under his knees!" Qi Yun couldn't stop his tears from pouring out, "I don't deserve you to do this."

"Compared to what you have suffered, this is nothing at all, let alone..." Lu Dali said, "I am not helping you, but I am for our Chunqiu Heavy Industry, for our dreams."

"Forging swords for heroes!"
