Fist of Imagination

Chapter 388: Deus Ex Machina

Li Zhixian swaggered over from the reading area, patted Liang De on the shoulder, and handed over his half-eaten large bag of shrimp crackers.

"Get lost! I'm working without regard for my own safety, working to the utmost, forgetting to eat and sleep, and looking haggard. You're on business trips all day and you're like this too."

"Tsk, you don't need to eat or sleep, forgetting to eat and sleep... well, that, you've worked hard!"

Li Zhixian pulled off the suit jacket on his arm and threw it back. The black jacket flew to the floor-standing clothes rack in the fast food area a few meters away as if it had eyes.

Liang De took the shrimp crackers handed over by Li Zhixian with both hands, put his head into the puffed food bag that was as big as a fat otaku T-shirt, and chewed it with a crunch. He ate it all in a few bites. With the cover of the packaging bag, he quickly adjusted his expression back to his daily mode.

Liang De pulled his head out, rolled up the food packaging bag and stuffed it into his pocket, saying:

"Brother Xian, why are you here? Where's Xiaohan?"

Li Zhixian said: "She went to the Evil Disaster Bureau for internship. The bureau saw that her academic performance and magic level were above the line. Since she was going to be admitted anyway, they asked her to go to the magic girl training base in the south of the city to get familiar with it in advance.

I have nothing to do anyway, so I helped her watch the store."

"You are helping a little girl watch the store and lying in the reading area. Shouldn't you be standing at the front desk?"

"That's right. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you if the bookstore can't sell anything. Xiaohan can't do anything to you."

Liang De was heartbroken He shook his head in anger:

"Hey, Lao Qin, Lao Qin, you are unlucky because you opened the store here. This year's sales performance is all ruined."

"Bullshit! What's wrong with lying in the reading area? Lao Liang, you have never read a book. Have you ever heard that the saints rule by leaning on the arch, those who work with their minds rule others, and those who work with their hands are ruled by others."

Li Zhixian said confidently:

"The people who come here to consume are basically active magical girls from several nearby cities. They have received higher education, have been in and out of all walks of life, and have strong learning and hands-on abilities.

I have long distributed the operating methods of the cash register system in the bookstore and the cooking manual of the simple meal area. In the group, they paid for the meals themselves, which was extremely efficient.

The reason why I could lie quietly in the reading area to read and drink is because I have strong management skills! "

"Bah, they are obviously intimidated by your power. People under the eaves have to bow their heads. Tell me, how many people have you beaten today?"

"Nonsense! Go ask Xiaohan yourself tomorrow, does a national idol-level magic girl like me who has many students all over the world need to force the younger generation?

They all volunteered!"

"'They all volunteered', this kind of nonsense is only said by those who are caught in teacher-student love. Only the beastly teachers nowadays would say that!

Brother Xian, you don't even have the basic ethics of a teacher, you are unworthy of being an instructor. "

Liang De said while shaking his finger:

"At this time, the magic girls who patrol the city in the morning have already finished get off work, why don't we see them coming to read books and eat desserts like before?

You don't do your job properly, you are not serious, there is no customer in the store and you still want to brag about yourself, save your energy. "

"You are the one who doesn't do your job properly. "

Li Zhixian reached out and took out the scroll and brush from the ice-blue storage hairband behind his head, and turned on the projector and screen in the bookstore at the same time.

"I saw in the live broadcast that you were about to return from the other side of the world No. 706, so I came here in advance to clear the place and wait for you to come back to sort out the materials together.

This is our business, Brother Fist of Imagination who is back from a business trip."

"It means that you promised Xiaohan to help her run the store, but you are actually lying at home watching the live broadcast, and then let the customers who come to the store do what they want?"

"Yes, what's the problem."

"What if it's not a magical girl? Not everyone can operate it."

"It's passed from person to person. If you don't know how to do it, you can learn it. If you don't want to do such a simple thing, you will be lazy sooner or later. What's the point of reading a book?

Sit down and start working."

Li Zhixian flicked his hand casually, and the soft and strong wind just right pressed the keyboard, opened the recording file of Liang De's doomsday trip to Blue Star, and projected it onto the screen.

From Grey Heron Park to the source of the raging tide, from the cyber world to the solidified world...

Pigeons, black rain, sunset, raging tide, tar...

During the short trip of a few days, we didn't visit many places and didn't have many events. Li Zhixian deleted many meaningless scenery clips, and the remaining audio and video materials were only about an hour, which was about the same length as an ordinary action movie.

Liang De directly turned it to the highest speed and scanned it with his arms folded.

In fact, he didn't need to use the recorded video to review it. The memory is still fresh in the revolving lantern of life.

Watching it again like this is more of a ritual.

Li Zhixian seemed to have noticed the different atmosphere in the air. When Liang De watched the video, she didn't drink or eat, and she was very quiet.

After Liang De finished watching the recording, she spoke after a while:

"The video part is like this. The text version on the scroll is just a copy of the subtitles. There is nothing new.

Anyway, the company's senior management is involved this time, so we don't have to take any responsibility. Just record the sacrifice and finish work early and eat early.

My mother sent me some fermented pork pancakes. I originally planned to eat them with Huanhuan. Seeing that you are so tired this time, I specially gave you two.

How is it?"

"Brother Xian, are you satisfied with this story?" Liang De asked.

"It's okay, although...but...you have done everything you can."

Li Zhixian threw the green scroll in his hand and said:

"I am very dedicated."

"I don't think it's good enough, worse than a one-star toilet paper."

Liang De pressed the replay button and said:

"From the perspective of the story, the male protagonist has an empty mind and messy actions. It seems that he doesn't know what he wants to do at all, and he didn't accomplish anything in the end.

Where is the core contradiction? Where is the fierce conflict? What is the meaning? What is the theme? None.

Then you look at the ending part. The powerful enters the realm and decides everything. The protagonist is submissive and leaves. Not to mention a heavy punch, he didn't even talk big. What is the difference between this and the Deus ex Machina?

What did he change? "

Li Zhixian said: "I don't think it's right if you say so. The Deus ex Machina in classical dramas is to let the gods solve problems and make final decisions.

Our god has come, but what he did is just to close the game, which is equivalent to pausing the story. Although the hero has not changed anything, there are still infinite possibilities in the future. "

"Infinite possibilities... can they be better than the perfect future promised by the gods?"

"Then you have to ask the future hero."

Li Zhixian walked to the cashier and kicked out the cardboard altar.

"Lao Liang, when I came back from collecting materials before, I said no and you said yes. Why do you care so much this time?"

"Oh, what's the use of caring?"

Liang De sighed, "Sacrifice, sacrifice, and see what Teacher Fengxian says."

The green scroll fell into the altar carton, and not long after, dark smoke came out of it.

"Ade, how many stars do you want?"

Thank you everyone, see you tomorrow~
