After breakfast, Ren Jianmo handed over all the tidying up to the artificial intelligence, went to the bookcase, picked up a copy of "Nuclear Physics" that he was interested in, sat down at the table, and silently flipped through it. stand up.
At nine thirty, the black cat emerged from the corner again, like a competent alarm clock, and said:
"Half an hour until your scheduled appointment."
Ren Jianmo put down his book, glanced at the newly added clock on the wall, and then unconsciously glanced at the French windows.
He didn't know why he felt that he cared so much.
"..."
After a while, he couldn't help but ask:
"Is that person still there?"
The black cat answers in seconds:
"Here I am."
Ren Jianmo: "..."
He felt an unprecedented anxiety.
For some reason, he thought of a munia he had raised a long time ago.
He had just turned eighteen at the time, and someone in charge came to him for advice, asking if he planned to move out.
As the precious assets and important talents of the institute, they have always shown a very open-minded attitude. Of course, Ren Jianmo has the right to choose the life he wants.
But Ren Jianmo refused without thinking, and still lived in an apartment provided by the research institute.
So the person in charge thought about it, changed the direction of the question, and asked him if he had any plans to keep a pet.
According to the educational cognition of the Institute, proper contact with pets helps to cultivate a sound personality.
In fact, the girl who was born in the same batch as Ren Jianmo and was the only girl who stayed in the research institute had raised a Labrador with excellent appearance early on, and she was in the research staff for a month. In the appraisal of his personality and mental state, he will always be rated as more "gregarious" and "healthier" than Ren Jianmo.
The person in charge felt that it was time to encourage this young man who seemed so calm and rational that he looked like a robot to have a pet—at least it would make him look a little more "human".
However, Ren Jianmo still rejected his proposal.
Ren Jianmo is not interested in the arrogant and cute cat, the loyal and caring dog, or the cute and cute rabbit.
It's not that he hates pets, he's just simply not interested.
When Ren Jianmo was twelve years old, he adopted a hamster from a laboratory animal center on the advice of a psychological counselor.
The little hamster has a very good personality, cowardly and timid, and when held in his hands, he will shiver with his legs turned upside down, perfectly interpreting what it means to be "weak, pitiful and helpless".
Ren Jianmo at the time was able to clearly describe the cuteness of this hamster, such as the snow-white hair all over, the soft touch when it is fried, the watery black bean eyes, the pink tongue that is exposed when drinking water, etc. , are just above the aesthetic cuteness of most people.
But Ren Jianmo still couldn't feel the love and excitement that normal people should have when they see cute things.
He keeps the little hamsters in the cage, like finishing work, feeds them regularly every day, and cleans the cage every week. He can be called a competent owner.
But that's all.
About half a year later, one day, the hamster opened the cage by itself, escaped, and disappeared without a trace.
When Ren Jianmo, who was just a child, found out that the little hamster was missing, he didn't try to find it at all.
He just packed up the empty cage silently, packed it together with more than half of the remaining feed and sawdust, and threw it into the trash can.
Ren Jianmo really didn't hate that hamster.
But the "pet" he has kept for half a year, in his opinion, is still no different from the hundreds of hamsters in the experimental animal center. It is just an ordinary animal. He has tried hard, but he still cannot bet on it emotion-.
He even forgot that he never even named the hamster.
Now, six years have passed, and he is still the same as himself when he was a child. He doesn't hate any living thing, but he doesn't like it either.
Ren Jianmo thought he would always be like this.
Until one rainy day, a white-haired and red-billed munia fell on the windowsill of his laboratory.
It was a midsummer afternoon, leaden clouds were densely covered, thunder was rolling, and it was raining heavily. The dense rain fell on the window panes and quickly formed a curtain of water.
It was in this ghostly weather that the munia bumped into the window sill of Ren Jianmo's laboratory.
At that time, Mao Tuan'er was soaked all over, hiding in the corner of the window sill, trembling against the small piece of cover above his head, and seemed to be unable to hold on, and fell headlong.
For some unknown reason, Ren Jianmo opened the window and fished the wet munia into the house.
It was obviously a little bird that had been raised by someone, and it was frightened out of its wits by the thunderstorm. It curled up in Ren Jianmo's hands, neither resisting nor struggling, just obediently motionless, as if accepting its fate, Let this stranger be at the mercy of him.
Ren Jianmo didn't plan to do anything to it.
He just put the dripping munia in a tissue box on his desk and left it to fend for itself.
But the little guy who had been battered by the wind and rain for an unknown amount of time, and who looked like he was dying, survived.
Moreover, Wenniao has settled down in Ren Jianmo's laboratory.
As a master who could only be described as "indifferent", Ren Jianmo's attitude towards this uninvited guest was still the same as that of a hamster.
This time, he didn't even bother to prepare a cage, so he let the munia move around in the open space, and didn't even close the windows, just waiting for it to leave whenever it wanted.
But the munia never flew away.
Not only did it not go away, it was also particularly spiritual.
Every day, when Ren Jianmo changed his clothes and entered the inner area from the open outer room, the bird would stop in front of the glass separating the inner and outer rooms, tilt its head and stare at the owner on the opposite side of the glass.
Occasionally, when Ren Jianmo inadvertently raised his head and glanced at the glass, the munia would appear very excited, pecking at the glass with its bright red beak, as if trying to arouse his attention. Notice.
Ren Jianmo had already forgotten when he began to have feelings for that munia bird that "it's not just a bird".
Unknowingly, Ren Jianmo had already regarded this little guy who not only watched him work every day, but also pecked glass to attract his attention, as a "friend" or "family member".
He began to carefully arrange the bird's daily feed and drinking water, focus on the knowledge of bird breeding, and prepare a large and comfortable birdcage for it.
But Ren Jianmo still didn't close the window, he thought, maybe his little bird will want his own freedom one day...
…
Time has proved that the munia Ren Jianmo picked up casually in a rainy day has not flown away.
It stayed with the master for five years and two months until the end of his life.
After Wenniao's death, Ren Jianmo didn't keep any pets anymore. He felt that he was still the same as before. He didn't hate animals, but he didn't like them either.
Only occasionally, when he turned his head to look at the piece of glass that separates the inner and outer rooms, he suddenly felt that he would still see birds pecking at the glass, that's all.
…
Now, for some reason, when Ren Jianmo thought of the curly-haired boy staying in front of the apartment, he would inexplicably think of the munia he had raised, and then felt an indescribable sense of boredom.
He put down his books, "Teng" stood up, walked to the wardrobe in a few steps, and changed into the outfits for going out.
"Clean up the room."
Ren Jianmo quickly got dressed, explained something to the black cat, and then came to the elevator and pressed the button to go downstairs.
&&& &&& &&&
After Ji Thrush learned of Ren Jianmo's true identity from Bing Shang, his first reaction was disbelief, and his second reaction was that there must be something wrong.
After staying in "Peach Blossom Spring" for half a year, and having been promoted from F-level difficulty to S-level difficulty, Ji Xiaoniao is no longer the former Wuxia Amon, and he has almost explored the rules that he should know.
Participants are not characters in online games, and you can't just click on a person to view its control panel, so whether it's a rookie or a veteran, it's hard to tell them apart just by looking at them.
In fact, level F, the lowest level of difficulty, allows participants with one or two rounds of experience to appear in the same "world" as complete ignorant novices.
When Ji Thrush was in the "City of Ashes", he was almost killed by Jie Ge, who was planning to trick newcomers.
However, when they return to the "Peach Blossom Spring", they will immediately be able to distinguish who is a rookie and who is a veteran.
Because it is different from the veterans, the third day of every month is the day when novices set foot in the "Peach Blossom Land" for the first time.
After mastering this rule, those gangs that target low-level performers will definitely arrange headhunters to wait at the entrance of the Colosseum on the third day of each month, lobbying newcomers one by one to join their gangs.
Season thrush also received such treatment back then, so he naturally clearly remembered that the time he stepped into the "Peach Blossom Spring" was February 3rd on the calendar.
And that day, Ren Jianmo also returned to the "Peach Blossom Spring" just like him.
If, as Binglue said, Ren Damei of his family is the strongest man named "Lanling King" who climbed to the top of the obelisk in the legend, then how could he be as genuine as Ji Thrush and Mo Tiangen? , together with the fake newcomers, they didn't return to "Peach Blossom Spring" until February 3rd.
When Ji Thrush asked this question, the white-haired young man sitting next to him shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"However, I'm sure Mr. Ren is the 'King of Lanling'."
Ice Grail still insists on his point of view.
Ji Thrush: "Why?"
Ice Grain gave his own evidence, "The weapon I gave him is called 'Wanwusheng'."
He replied:
"Anyone who has stayed in the 'Peach Blossom Spring' long enough knows that it belongs to the 'Lanling King'."
Ji Thrush listened very carefully.
He knows how important a handy weapon is to the improvement of strength, just like his "Silence and Silence", Ji Xiaoniao can hardly imagine what he would do without it.
Compared with Ren Jianmo's fighting level, the "Feng Dao Frost Sword" he used earlier seemed a little too ordinary.
Ji Thrush had indeed been thinking about helping Ren Jianmo find a better weapon. But Binglao took out the "Wanwusheng" first, and gave them to Ren Jianmo generously as a welcome gift.
So he thought of a possibility:
"In addition to changing shapes at will, does 'All Creatures' have other special attributes?"
