The next morning.
Chen Lun opened the door sleepily.
After a battle last night, I feel a little tired both physically and mentally.
He looked up and saw a beautiful figure mopping the floor in the living room.
"Good morning, Mr. Jack."
Connie stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and gave him a bright smile.
It can be seen that she is in a good mood today.
"Good morning, Connie."
Chen Lun responded and went into the bathroom.
After washing up, he came out again and saw Fuluoyin opening the door and coming back.
The dog, which had been washed clean, wagged its tail excitedly, jumped out from behind Fuluoyin and threw itself at Chen Lun's feet.
"Did you dine at Mrs. Caroline's?"
Chen Lun touched the dog's head and asked Fuluoyin.
"Well... I learned how to make some dishes from Mrs. Caroline, and I cooked these together with her."
Floin was holding a plate with some meatballs and pies, an apple and a cup of tea.
She pursed her lips and looked towards Chen Lun, her tone full of anticipation:
"I brought some over, would you like to try some?"
Chen Lun took the plate with a smile.
"certainly."
Flo Yin smiled.
She listened silently to Chen Lun's footsteps until he stopped at the dining table.
Chen Lun put down the food and saw Connie who was still cleaning.
"Have you had your meal, Connie? Do you want to come and have some?"
Connie seemed a little flattered and quickly waved her hand and shook her head.
"No… No thanks, Mr. Jack."
She pointed in the direction of the door.
"I'll go downstairs and make breakfast, and I'll make one for my father."
"All right."
Chen Lun shrugged and started eating.
He picked up a meatball with a fork and put it into his mouth under Flo Yin's expectant "gaze".
The delicious gravy is overflowing, with a hint of the unique aroma of bacon and a hint of fruitiness.
"tasty."
Chen Lun said in surprise.
"It seems you have a talent, Flo Yin."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Flo Yin covered her mouth and chuckled, then sat down gracefully on the sofa.
It can be said that Chen Lun enjoyed his breakfast today, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect. But he could feel the intention of the person who made this meal.
After the meal, Connie took the initiative to run over to clean up.
Chen Lun wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and drank a sip of tea.
"Connie, I heard you were taking classes at a technical college?"
“Yes, Mr. Jack.
I am studying mechanical theory at Hinoki Institute of Technology in Amber City, and I am very interested in that area of knowledge.”
Connie's lips curled up as she spoke of this.
Chen Lun nodded silently.
He got up and went back to his room. After a while he came back with two objects and put them on the table.
"Connie, take these two things and study them."
"Is this... the weapon those bastards had last night?"
Connie picked up the mechanical gloves and the trumpet gun with a look of surprise on her face, and then she looked at the objects in her hands with some excitement.
“Although it looks crudely made, the idea is very unique!”
"As long as you're interested."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
Then he stood up and walked towards the door. After opening it, he turned his head and said to Flo Yin:
"I'm going out for a walk and will be back later."
"Well, be careful on the road."
Flo Yin turned towards him and whispered.
…
The information about Viscount Pompey and Dolly has been handed over to Gary. Chen Lun alone is not as efficient as the entire Iron Fist Gang.
They are an underground force active in the outer city area, and are good at gathering information from all sides.
In addition, Gary is familiar with the inner city and knows many important people. I believe that there will be gains soon.
Now Chen Lun plans to do something else.
For example, reading.
After going downstairs, he went straight to the door of the bookstore next to the flower shop.
He obtained the "Memoirs of Recorder Ken Burney" from Kent, which enabled him to successfully have a secondary career as a recorder.
This also gave Chen Lun an inspiration.
That is, you cannot miss any opportunity to acquire extraordinary knowledge, because there may be a treasure hidden in an inconspicuous book.
"The Old Cripple's Bookstore."
Chen Lun glanced at the wooden sign and pushed the door open.
An old man sitting behind the counter looked up at Chen Lun and made no attempt to get up.
"Please feel free to do so, but don't get the book dirty or damaged."
He stroked his reading glasses and continued to look down at the tome in his hands.
Chen Lun walked a few steps inside and found that although the bookstore was small, there were quite a few books inside.
The bookcases on three walls were filled with books, and there was another bookcase in the middle. He walked into the innermost part and saw a mini spiral staircase leading to the upper compartment.
Chen Lun looked back at the old man and found that he was immersed in reading and didn't pay any attention to him at all.
So he tiptoed up the spiral staircase to the upper level.
It's so cramped and small here that I can't even stand up straight and can only bend over.
There was a window on the wall, so the light wasn't too dim.
Similarly, the bookcases along the wall were also filled with books. There were even some books that had no place to be put, so they were piled together in the corner.
"Then let's start from here."
Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction.
The larger the base number, the greater the chance of him finding the book containing the "treasure".
Time always passes quietly while reading.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Chen Lun's attention was suddenly drawn to a familiar voice.
"Mr. Tote, I'm here to return some books."
"Oh, Miss Caroline, please go ahead... By the way, you look really beautiful today."
Then there was the sound of Mrs. Caroline's chuckle.
"You're still as funny as ever, Mr. Tote."
"As the sun bears witness, I'm just an honest old fellow."
Chen Lun put down the book in his hand and walked down the spiral staircase.
Mrs. Caroline was holding two books in her hands and chatting with the old man with glasses behind the counter.
"Hey, little Jack!"
Mrs. Caroline was a little surprised when she saw Chen Lun, and immediately greeted him.
"I just went upstairs to look for you, and little Flo Yin said you were out. So you were reading a book here."
She walked over slowly and said with a kind smile:
"There is a proverb in my hometown, Amethyst City, which says, 'A man who loves reading is like the sun, and even two hands cannot block his light.'"
"Miss Caroline is praising you for your brilliance, boy."
The old man said on the side.
Mrs. Caroline rolled her eyes at him, which made the old man chuckle.
"Although loving to read is a good thing, you can't miss meals... It just so happens that we can still make it in time if we go back now."
Mrs. Caroline put down the book in her hand and motioned Chen Lun to leave with her.
Chen Lun glanced at the sky outside and found that it was already night.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Caroline."
"You're so polite, little Jack... By the way, little Flo Yin and I have learned a special dish that is very suitable as a main course for dinner. You can enjoy it later."
“I’m looking forward to it.”
The two of them had a brief conversation.
He followed Mrs. Caroline out of the bookstore and down the hallway.
But I sighed in my heart.
Unfortunately, he searched through all the books in the upper compartments of the bookstore, but was unable to find any that contained extraordinary knowledge.
Although this is common sense, he still felt a little unhappy about getting nothing today.
"Come back tomorrow..."
