Chapter 495: The Best in the World (Thanks to the leader for the reward from Absolute灬幽默大佬!)

Space...gift...

this moment.

Lin Xian inexplicably felt as if the Ouroboros of time and space had completed a closed loop once again.

During the space-time particle capture operation on the aerospace plane at an altitude of 20,000 meters, Chu Anqing, who touched the space-time particle, awakened some memories. Then he insisted on getting out of the cabin at the risk of his life, jumped out, and caught the crucial space-time particle for himself.

【Gift】

That space-time particle is the most precious gift Chu Anqing gave to herself, allowing her to begin to touch the core truth and take the initiative.

is it possible……

The memory that Chu Anqing awakened at that time is the memory of the first generation CC?

Time and space rotate.

The two of us met each other.

Perhaps, his story with Chu Anqing began as early as 1952.

"Hey!"

In front, CC, who was walking away, shouted:

"Why are you daydreaming again, Lin Xian! Hurry up and catch up, we still have a lot of activities to play!"

Look at Lin Xian still standing there in a daze.

CC didn't want to waste precious time in the amusement park, so he trotted over, grabbed Lin Xian's hand, and led him forward:

"Why are you always in a daze? It feels like you spend at least 24 hours in a 20-hour day in a daze."

Lin Xian followed her and was pulled towards the carousel project:
"I'm not in a daze, I'm just thinking about something."

"Haha, you're not going to take what I said seriously, are you?"

CC turned around, her eyes curved into cute little crescents, and she smiled sweetly:
"I'm just kidding. The Earth is fine. Why would I go to space?"

"Also, although I never went to school, my grandma taught us the most basic knowledge... Space is not a supermarket or a shopping mall, where can you buy any gifts?"

"In fact, the reason why space is called space is because there is nothing in it, not even air. So don't expect anything. Even if I really go there, I can't bring you any gifts."

"[I can't... I can't pick a star for you, can I?]"

After hearing this, Lin Xian smiled but said nothing.

Star.

At the "World Hacker Competition", the super artificial intelligence VV operated Jask's Starlink satellite and sent a "five-pointed star" to Chu Anqing.

All I can say is, children speak without restraint.

Although the first generation CC is about to turn 20 years old, it is obviously not a child.

But in this old and ancient era, people are simpler; plus CC has never been to school, so his mind is not that mature.

Therefore, in the eyes of Lin Xian, who is 7 years older than her...

The CC in front of me really looks like a "naive" child.

"Do you want to go on the merry-go-round?"

Lin Xian looked at the long queue in front of him and didn't understand why there was such a long queue for the carousel.

Take a closer look.

Sure enough, it was the children who were dragging their parents to line up.

Children are not very interested in exciting rides like roller coasters and flywheels, and adults do not allow them to play for safety reasons.

Therefore, activities that are easy and fun for young people, such as carousels and spinning teacups, are the most popular.

"Of course I want to play!"

CC dragged Lin Xian to the end of the team and said seriously:
"It's a rare opportunity for us to come to the amusement park, how can we not try all the rides? That would be a big loss. Maybe this is the only chance I'll have to come to the amusement park in my lifetime, so I have to cherish it."

"alright."

Lin Xian spread his hands:
"I've already bought the tickets, and they're so expensive... You're right, so let's have fun today, until the amusement park closes at night, until you're satisfied."

At this time, the carousel was full.

The staff closed the door and then started the switch.

Cheerful music started playing and the carousel began to swing up and down, carrying the laughing children around the central axis.

This kind of toy... is definitely too childish for Lin Xian, but it is just right for CC, who has never seen the world and has never been to an amusement park.

"It's our turn. It's finally our turn."

After waiting for three full rounds, Lin Xian and CC finally got on the carousel; CC sat on the pink pony in the front, and Lin Xian sat on the big blue horse in the back.

He pointed to the [Golden Ring] hanging on the long pole in front:
"CC, do you see that golden ring?"

"where?"

CC looked left and right and soon found the target:
"I see. What is that for?"

"That's called the Golden Ring."

Lin Xian patiently explained to her:

"As long as you can catch the ring, you can ride the carousel again for free; but since the pass is free, the purpose of the ring should be to skip the queue and let you ride it again."

"There is such a good thing!"

CC stared at the golden ring, eager to try:
"It's not that hard to catch it."

"That's true... You don't even look at the rank of your opponents."

Lin Xian looked around and saw that the warriors on the wooden horses around him were mostly children with short arms and legs.

What’s the difference between this and college students beating up kindergarten kids?
CC has long arms and legs, and she is born with a space-faring body. As long as she wants, she can keep refilling her cup on this carousel as many times as she wants.

Soon, music started playing and the wooden horse, whose mechanical movements were somewhat stiff, began to spin.

CC stared at the golden ring without looking away.

The other children stretched out their arms to try to grab the ring, but their arms were short, the wooden horse was swaying up and down, and the long pole with the golden ring hanging on it was swinging irregularly, so the children failed after several attempts.

at last.

CC's wooden horse turned to the long pole——

She was quick-eyed and quick-handed, with invincible dynamic vision, and she pulled the golden ring off in one swoop!

"Hehe, Lin Xian, look!"

She put the gold ring on her right index finger and shook her hand to show Lin Xian:

“Does it look like a ring?”

Lin Xian chuckled:
"It's a ring after all. Isn't a finger ring the meaning of a ring?"

"Can I take it away?" CC blinked her big eyes expectantly.

"That's definitely not possible."

Lin Xian said:

"This is a game prop. When the carousel stops, you have to give it back to the staff, but you can ride it one more time."

"Ah...okay."

CC had no choice but to take the ring off her index finger and hold it in the palm of her left hand.

In the second round, CC caught the golden ring again.

The third lap, it’s her again.

The fourth lap, it’s still her.

In the fifth lap, the fat kid at the back started crying. CC comforted him and handed him the ring:
"Here, take it, little fatty. It's for you."

The little fat boy took the golden ring and smiled happily:

"Thank you, sis! Here you go!"

The little fat boy was quite worldly-wise and handed the rainbow lollipop wrapped in plastic paper to CC.

After this circle of rotation stops.

CC jumped off the wooden horse and came to Lin Xian with a lollipop:
"An unexpected bonus."

"Great." Lin Xian gave a thumbs up.

"I'll give you half."

CC used both hands to hold both sides of the rainbow lollipop and tried to break it apart.

Lin Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he stopped her:

"You don't have to give me half of everything."

He thought of the half piece of bread pressed into the corn soup yesterday morning, and the half piece of hot dog CC broke off for him this morning.

This girl really thinks of him in everything and wants to share half of everything.

"Just eat it yourself. You've never had a lollipop, have you?"

"Then I won't eat for now."

CC stuffs the rainbow lollipop into her pocket:
"Let's eat it when we both have nothing to eat."

...Afterwards, CC checked in for each project, leaving no stone unturned and enjoying every opportunity equally. He had a lot of fun and cherished every project.

Her eyes were like a camera, carefully memorizing these materials in her mind and marking them as the happiest and most glorious moments in her life.

As the sun sets and night falls, lights are turned on at various facilities in the amusement park and night activities are gradually opened.

Lin Xian and CC watched the circus animal show together, watched the fairy tale theater together, and finally... came to the last reserved item -

Ferris wheel.

“A typical amusement park trip ends with a Ferris wheel.”

Lin Xian said softly.

"Why?" CC was curious.

"I do not know either."

Lin Xian shook his head:
"It's like an unspoken rule, or... a bit of a convention. My understanding is that the Ferris wheel is slower, more soothing, and more suitable for ending, right?"

“And the Ferris wheel will take you to a high altitude to overlook the entire amusement park, giving you a feeling of summarizing and reminiscing.”

"Ok."

CC nodded and let out a breath:

"It's time to end it. We've finished all the other rides, and the only thing left is the Ferris wheel."

At this time.

The loudspeaker at the amusement park issued a reminder that the amusement park will close in half an hour and there is only one round left for all the events, so please pay attention to the time.

The two came to the Ferris wheel.

Sit in the small box.

After the staff locked the door of the box, the huge steel wheel carried them away from the ground and slowly rose.

CC stuck to the window glass and watched the neon lights outside.

The colorful lights of the amusement park painted a colorful picture on the ground; gradually, the Ferris wheel reached the highest point, and the highest skyline of Brooklyn could be seen; while Manhattan with its tall buildings in the distance... was still out of reach.

CC looked outside and said softly:

"This is probably the farthest and highest place I've ever been to. I've never seen a view like this."

"You're still young."

Lin Xian looked at her:
“This is far from your limit. There are farther and higher places waiting for you.”

"What a happy and joyful day..."

CC turned around and looked at Lin Xian:

"Thank you so much, Lin Xian. We've only known each other for less than two days, but you've already allowed me to experience so many things that I never dared to think of before."

She counted on her fingers:
"You took me to Brooklyn Heights to see Manhattan,"

"Take me to the amusement park, play the carousel and Ferris wheel,

"He also took me to a hotel and I had a comfortable sleep."

"These are all firsts for me... I'm lucky that you've allowed me to experience so many firsts."

"Oh yeah, how could we forget the hot dogs?"

She giggled, with two dimples faintly visible at the corners of her mouth:
"Hot dogs are the best thing in the world! The best in the world!"

Lin Xian looked at CC and said nothing.

hot dog.

Is it really the most delicious thing in the world?

Obviously, not really.

There are thousands of things in this world that taste better than hot dogs.

But, for CC…she’s only ever eaten hot dogs.

Her world is so small.

In her world, hot dogs are the best in the world, and she believes it without a doubt.

"Here, here's some candy."

CC took out a rainbow lollipop from his pocket, pinched both sides with both hands, broke it in half and handed it over:
"We don't have money for dinner. You must be hungry, right? Have some candy to fill your stomach."

"We really have to thank that fat guy for exchanging his free gold ring for such a big lollipop. We made a lot of money."

Lin Xian took half of the rainbow lollipop.

It is semicircular, like the protractor commonly found in pencil cases.

He put the candy in his mouth.

"Is it sweet?" CC asked.

Lin Xian nodded:
"sweet."

……

The moon rises, the amusement park closes, and the last few tourists walk out of the gate, marking the end of the day's fun.

CC walked in front, heading towards the bus stop, but found that Lin Xian did not follow.

"Lin Xian?"

She turned her head:

"Why are you standing there in a daze again?"

Lin Xian was seen standing there with his hands in his pockets, with no intention of taking the bus at all.

"Sorry CC."

Lin Xian said:

"I'm sorry, but we don't have money for the return bus trip."

"Ok?"

CC tilted his head:
"Didn't you calculate the money before?"

"Mistake."

Lin Xian spread his hands:
"I didn't realize that hot dogs at Coney Island were 5 cents, so ... our money was just gone, and we didn't have a penny left."

"Oh, that's how it is."

CC didn't care at all, and was calm and composed:
"Then let's walk back. We can get back to the original neighborhood by walking."

?

Lin Xian looked at CC and was surprised by her attitude:
"You are so emotionally stable."

He sincerely lamented:
"I thought you would blame me."

"How is that possible!"

CC snorted:
"What are you thinking about, Lin Xian... I have been spending your money today. You bought me hot dogs and took me to the amusement park. How could I repay you with evil and blame you instead? Who do you think I am..."

"Look, we don't have a home anyway, so it doesn't matter whether we go back or not. Let's go back and find a park or a bridge to sleep for the night... For homeless people, it doesn't matter where we sleep."

Lin Xian nodded:
"That's exactly what I thought at first, but now I have a new [Plan B]."

CC narrowed his eyes:

"Plan B? What do you want to do?"

Lin Xian smiled slightly:
"You were right before. Coney Island's specialties are not just hot dogs and amusement parks, but also gangsters!"

"The gang members have money, and most of them have illicitly obtained it. We go and cause trouble for them, stir up trouble, and steal some money. This can be considered as robbing the rich to help the poor and getting rid of harm to the people."

"what?"

CC opened his eyes wide, thinking he had heard wrongly:

"No, you are kidding! They are gangsters! You saw them this morning... Gang members all have guns, and they usually go out in groups at night. If you go to cause trouble for them... that's the same as seeking death."

Lin Xian disagrees:

"You have a gun, right? Well, that's great. Let me upgrade my equipment."

"Lin Xian, are you crazy?" CC shouted.

"Do you remember what I said to you this morning?"

Lin Xian interrupted CC and put his hands in his pockets:

"I say... our hard times are over. They are just gangsters, why should we be afraid of them? They are just our cash cow."

CC came over, looked at Lin Xian with caring eyes, stood on tiptoe, and placed his palm on Lin Xian's forehead:

"You don't have a fever, do you?"

"Haha, if you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Lin Xian was full of confidence. He took CC's hand off his forehead and looked up at the full moon in the sky:

"From now on, the Lin of Brooklyn is Lin Xian's Lin! Let these Coney Island gangsters..."

"Meet their new godfather!"
