On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen took the tray and went to a corner near the window in the cafeteria and sat opposite Luo Ling.

It was late, and there was no light in the cafeteria. They had to hang a few red lanterns to celebrate the New Year, which gave it a bar vibe.

The faint red light reflected on Luo Ling, adding a few bright colors to her forehead, nose and lips. Although her eyebrows were not clearly visible, a beautiful outline was drawn.

When Xiao Chen saw her looking at the starry sky outside the window with her chin in her hand, he didn't know where the restlessness in the afternoon had gone.

"It's late, there's nothing to eat. I got the last two sesame cakes. Eat them with wild vegetable soup." Xiao Chen put down the tray and put the two sesame cakes and a bowl of vegetable soup in front of Luo Ling, and he filled a large bowl of porridge for himself.

Luo Ling picked up a sesame cake and threw it back into his bowl, "I'll give you one for your hard work."

Xiao Chen didn't refuse, picked up the sesame cake and ate it as a steamed bun.

"It seems that you are really tired these days. In the past, you must say 'thank you for the reward'."

"Am I so mean?"

Luo Ling tilted her head and thought for a while, "...I am!"

Xiao Chen choked on the pancake and hammered his chest hard.

"At that time, when I first met you and Zhou He, you looked mean in front of her. How long has it been since then?" Luo Ling picked up a pancake and bit it directly.

"I don't know how she is doing. There is no news anywhere."

"She will be fine."

"Why do you say that?"

"Intuition, sometimes women have to rely on intuition to survive. When you have nothing to believe in, you can only believe in your feelings." Luo Ling ate quickly, and half of the pancake went into her stomach in a while.

"There is no need to be so pessimistic." Xiao Chen said.

"This is not pessimism, it's just a way of survival. Do you think that among the guys sitting in the conference room during the day, who is really worth relying on?" Luo Ling asked back.

"If you are not pessimistic, then I am the happy little prince now." Xiao Chen pointed at his nose, "If you don't trust them, why did you propose a vote? Wouldn't that put the choice in their hands? What if it doesn't pass?"

"It's just an inevitable result. Do you think my uncle can really make a decision? This matter is too big, and no one here can cover it." Luo Ling stuffed the last piece of pancake into her mouth and clapped her hands, "As for the issue of passing, don't we have it?"

"It seems that we think the same way." Xiao Chen nodded, "There will be a few key figures in a while, and we have to visit them."

"The first one on the list is Chang Lin, right?" Luo Ling tapped the soup bowl with her fingers, "This person is not simple."

"You have been watching all day, and you should be able to see something. There are many people gathered around this guy."

"Then go after you finish eating. It's better to drink the unpalatable medicine in one gulp." Luo Ling put down the soup bowl and finished eating.

"You know, I agree with letting these slaves play a role. However, everything depends on the right time, right place and right people. If the conditions are not mature, good intentions can also make mistakes." When Chang Lin said this, he was wearing thick pajamas and holding a cigarette in his hand, standing on the rooftop of the dormitory building, "Want to have one? There are not many of these left."

"Thank you, I really don't smoke." Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "That's it, we just hope to make the conditions mature. After all, smooth acceptance is the safest way. If so many people get into trouble, it will be difficult for the school to deal with it. When we did this, we thought that the school could work together and digest and absorb these people. And as long as this is done, it will definitely be of great benefit to the school's future survival."

Chang Lin looked at the slave camp with sparks at the foot of the mountain not far away, took a puff of cigarette, and the bright red cigarette butts flickered in the dark night, "We can hold on until now, and continue to hold on, the most important thing is The first point is unity. No matter what you are going to do, you should fully consider everyone's opinions. In other words, let most people feel that this matter can benefit. "

"So we think we want to have sufficient communication with everyone before voting."

"It is necessary to communicate, Xiao Xiao, I know you will definitely sneer at some people's speeches at the meeting, thinking that these people are too conservative and don't know how to consider the long-term future. But have you ever thought that there are many long-term things that may not be beneficial to solving real problems. In any case, I believe that many of them see more disadvantages than advantages from their own perspective. "

Chang Lin suddenly shook slightly, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground. He held his forehead with his hand, shook his head, and said with some regret: "I am old, and sometimes I feel dizzy. It's a pity to waste a good cigarette."

And Xiao Chen opposite him did not answer, but also covered his forehead with his hand, his face was still a little pale, as if he was speechless by what the other party said.

Chang Lin saw Xiao Chen's strangeness and asked, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong? Are you dizzy too?"

Xiao Chen waved his hands vigorously to indicate that he was fine, then coughed a few times and squeezed out two words: "I have a cold and I feel sleepy after taking medicine."

"You young people should also take care of your health. Sometimes don't work too hard. Let us old people share some of your burden." Chang Lin said as he stretched out his foot to crush the cigarette butt on the ground.

Luo Ling looked at the two of them and felt strange, but in order to avoid a dull moment, she asked Chang Lin, "Then Teacher Chang, what is your attitude towards this matter?"

"Me? My attitude is not that important. What is important is how you view and solve problems from their perspective."

"No, I think everyone's attitude is important, especially yours." Luo Ling insisted.

"Haha, okay. If I have to say it, of course I support the rapid development of the school, but I have my own opinions on how to communicate with other groups."

"You said."

"Team Leader Luo, in your plan, what method should be used to receive these slaves? How to manage them?" Chang Lin asked Luo Ling.

“Establish an intake working group.”

"President Guo originally mentioned to me that he wanted to put this working group under the management of the foreign affairs group?"

"He just thinks that the problem started with us, and the communication barrier between us and the locals is relatively small." Luo Ling paused, and saw the half-smiling expression on Chang Lin's face, and basically understood what he meant, "But in In my opinion, it is better for several groups to take the lead and work together.”

"That's what I said. After all, I am a few years older than you, and I have seen more things between people. We might as well speak honestly on this rooftop. Successful cooperation cannot be separated from the sharing of interests. Some people's eyes are If it's not far enough, then give them something they can see and touch. If we pull everyone into our camp, won't there be no enemies? Besides, after all, more people are more powerful, and there are special skills. I think it's a good thing that other groups have joined the management." Chang Lin said very earnestly, "The difficulty of this stage is to keep these people fed. There is a lot of pressure on our agricultural group and the logistics group. Even the basic necessities are enough to keep them busy. However, I believe that if these new labor forces can be mobilized and sufficient manpower is added to the work of our groups, all kinds of difficulties will still be solved. It can be overcome. Those team leaders can also be talked through. After all, everyone has a public heart."

"There will be a vote tomorrow morning, and it's not convenient for Teacher Chang to help us with the work of other groups." Luo Ling asked, "We will also discuss this plan with other people."

"Convenient," Chang Lin chuckled, "What's the inconvenience? They all live in these buildings and have nothing to do at night. Why don't I go and talk to them."

Before leaving, Chang Lin suddenly remembered something and said: "Oh, by the way. Xiao Xiao, in a few days, the school will make the first attempt to activate the "Sea of ​​Knowledge Shadow Scroll", so please pay more attention to it. ”

"Is anyone ready to read it?" Xiao Chen asked in surprise.

"Yes. Among the students, Liu Pengfei has made the fastest progress. He has reached the concentration bottleneck."

After bidding farewell to Chang Lin and walking down the rooftop, the two of them didn't go far when Xiao Chen stopped and started retching while holding on to the wall. Luo Ling wanted to help him, but he squatted on the ground and said, "Let me take a breath, I'll be fine in a while."

"What's going on?" Luo Ling asked after a while.

"Magic backlash." Xiao Chen rested for a quarter of an hour before calming down, but his face was still a little pale.

"Did you use magic on Chang Lin?" Luo Ling grabbed Xiao Chen and lowered her voice.

Xiao Chen raised his head, glanced at Luo Ling tiredly, nodded and said, "Yes. I'm so tired of that guy walking around. It's really disgusting. He obviously just wanted to get involved in this matter, but he said it So high-sounding. He had only been here for three months, and he started to form cliques, so I used a charm spell on him, but his mental resistance was very strong, and my magic was rebounded. It’s so uncomfortable.”

"Could it be that he can also do magic?"

"It's not like that!" Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "If he knew magic, he would definitely have sensed my attack and wouldn't be so passive."

"It seems that spiritual magic is not very useful to modern people?"

"To put it bluntly, mental power is the combination of people's thinking ability, knowledge and will. Modern people are already strong in this aspect. Hey, Chang Lin is a professor at a first-class university after all, so he is naturally stronger. And he was debating with us at the time, His concentration was very concentrated, so his spirit... how should I say, formed a shield-like effect, and I was careless, so he reflected my magic. "

"What if he doesn't pay attention?"

"It's hard to say, but this matter is like a fight between two people. A sneak attack is always much easier." Xiao Chen finally stood up against the wall, shook his head and said, "Fortunately, it is a relatively mild charm. If it is a fear of With such magic in my heart, I will be hurt even more, haha, maybe I will pee my pants."

"I advise you not to use magic on your own people, and don't let others find out if you use it. This is a very bad thing." Luo Ling said in a cautious tone, "Although magic looks cool and mysterious, in essence it is the same as Putting a knife to someone else's neck makes no difference. I don't want you to put a knife to someone else's neck."

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said: "I know, I know, if I were a random person, I would have used charm on you long ago."

Luo Ling was angry and funny, so she simply pointed her finger at him and said, "Come on, give you a chance to try?"

"Hey, I dare not and can't. I have a hunch that your mental power is much stronger than him. My results will be much worse." Xiao Chen closed his eyes and waved his fingers gently, like a conductor. After a while, he opened his eyes, exhaled and said: "I used a detection magic, and the mental power of the people around me will be sensed by me. If his mental power is the moon, then your mental power is like the sun." ”

"What about yourself?"

“Of course it’s another sun!”
