Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"I can't bear to do nothing!"

"Then you can go out to work?"

"But I'm here to help you, I'm not here to work! What's the use of working so many jobs? It's just adding 0 after a row of numbers. If there is no first 1234567, no matter how many 0's there are, it's just 0 .I’m here to help you, if I can’t help you, my life will have no meaning!”

"Well, actually you don't have to be like this."

"Will you return the Spear of the Sun to me?"

"This will definitely not work."

"That's okay. If you don't give it back to me, this is all I can do. Ah, I feel like I'm going to get knotted!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Shangluo shook his head, "I'm afraid you are the first person who can kill himself in idleness - if you are like this now, even if you are promoted to a heavenly being, I am afraid that the heavenly beings will soon decline. The heavenly beings Although your lifespan is unlimited, if you can’t think about it, you will be dead soon.”

"Then what should I do? If I want to become an immortal, will I die sooner if I don't cultivate?"

"Didn't you plan to work in Jinyiwei before?" Shangluo asked her, "Then you go. You can start from now on."

"Does that help you?"

"This Heavenly Lord is in charge of the affairs of Heaven. As long as what you do can reach Heaven, then it's fine. My personal opinion is that the Ministry of Thunder is short of a permanent executive officer, because I don't have the time to sit in the Ministry of Thunder."

"So what exactly should I do? I can't just sit there and collect a salary. I can't allow myself to be idle. Let me help you a little more."

"Okay. Actually, there is something very important."

"What?" Phaethon immediately became interested, "What work can I do?"

"I can't tell you now. I ask you to recharge your batteries, sleep well, have a good rest, fish every day, and prepare for a big event in the near future."

"You mean, you want me not to work part-time?"

"Your job is to rest. Can you understand this? Rest is also a task. Because you have to take a good rest in one cycle before you can face the important tasks in the next cycle."

"." Phaethon looked at him, "No problem. If this is your wish, then I will definitely do it. However, can you reveal the reason?"

"No." Shangluo shook his head and said, "If I tell you, you must not have a good rest because it has something to do with your family. I just came back from the emperor, you know, right? There are very important things waiting for me to do, but I am not in a hurry. . Because I have to go there, so now I need you to have a good rest and prepare well for this."

【Hey, eh, eh. ] Apollonia suddenly asked, [I've been here all the time, why don't I know what important actions you have to start next? It's all daily work. 】

"I don't mean to say that she can annoy herself to death. She is too anxious, and she feels that she is indebted to the world for living. This is not surprising. Although she was not present at the time, she could more or less guess something. ——She knew that her father must have paid a huge price to save his life. Therefore, this is not actually about me, but between their father and daughter. Of course, although it is not about me at all, the 'crux' It is indeed with me. If she cannot repay me, then there is no way for her to complete her self-salvation."

[This is not a Greek drama. What kind of self-salvation?]

"This is not the first day you have met her. Even I can see it: she is a very serious, very principled, and very perseverant person. She will never do this if you let her eat for free. So mentally The perfection of her life is very important to her, and if she can't get through it, she might become a demon in her heart."

[Ah, I just eat, sleep, and sleep every day. I sleep, sleep, eat, and eat, and everything is fine. If I couldn't see the world without you, I really wanted to squat in a small room all the time. Everything you need is placed within reach of your hand. Every day when you open your eyes, you browse the forum, and when you close your eyes, you fall asleep. Ah, these are the days of the gods. 】

"Can you be the same as her? You have a job. She does not owe me anything, and her father has paid back everything. But what about you? Miss Apollonia, you have to pay the rent. Work.”

[Woooooo~~ It’s true that people outside want to get in, and people inside want to get out. Hey! 】

She was suddenly startled.

"What are you doing? What did you think of?"

【No no. Just asking, do you have any work for me tonight as usual? 】

Chapter 644 Mission

"Yeah. Please help me with my homework. I'm too lazy to write. You can do it when I fall asleep."

[Tsk, do you think of me as the old shoemaker's dwarf? Every time the shoemaker is asleep, he comes out to make the shoes. 】

"Why, you don't want to?"

【No, no, no. I just thought, can I have something to eat? 】

"Eat? Okay." Shangluo replied, "You help me work, and I should give you a few mouthfuls of food."

[Then can I go out to eat? 】

"Just be safe. It's okay if you want to go for a walk."

She can't go far anyway - Shangluo thought. After all, the subway is closed at night, and the buses are only night buses. Moreover, he didn't care if Apollonia fulfilled her little wish. She really wanted to go out and hang out.

As long as she finishes her homework, if she wants to go out for a walk, then she can go out.

【okay! Don't worry, the task will be completed successfully! 】

"Then, let's eat." He greeted Phaethon, "Come to eat? I brought back some roast duck."

"Yeah." Phaethon stood up, "I'll go to bed when I'm full."

"No way, it's not good for your health to sleep after eating a full meal, isn't it?"

"It's easier for me to fall asleep when my blood sugar is high."

"Okay. Let's start eating. Let's try the roast duck nest today."

11 pm.

"Woohoo! It's time to get up! I'm ready, I'm ready." Apollonia sat up from the bed. Shangluo has entered a deep sleep time that will not be disturbed, and Apollonia has temporarily taken over as the center in Miluo Palace in the interior world and started working at night.

"Dong dong dong~" The first thing she did was jogging all the way up to the second floor.

"Phaethon! Get up!"

Phaethon immediately sat up: "Have you finally come? I knew that there would always be something wrong with me in the middle of the night. What is the big plan you are talking about?"

"That's it!" She took out her schoolbag and took out four homework books in a row.

"Writing homework?" Phaethon was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure? This is what you want me to do? Is this considered practice?"

"It's a mind game that relaxes you. Hmm."

"Okay." Phaethon pressed his temples. "Since it is Shangluo's arrangement, you must have your reasons. Are you happy? Why do you always walk on tiptoes? Like a deer."

"Well, I ate too much for dinner and my stomach is bloated. I'll leave it to you then!"

After saying that, she quickly went downstairs.

"Huh?" Phaethon blinked, "Speaking of which, what does bloating have to do with walking on tiptoes? Forget it, he must have a point anyway. He's not a boring Apollonia, who never does it. It’s superfluous. There must be some deep meaning to this assignment.”

Suddenly, the door opened downstairs.

"Huh? Out?"

Phaethon looked out the window - and saw a figure jumping like a deer walking all the way outside.

"..." Phaethon sat back silently and took a sip of water, "Probably he is working on a big project. It turns out that he is right, he is really busy."

Thinking of this, Phaethon became more energetic: "Anyway, let's finish these exercises first. Let me see. Isn't this his homework? I thought it was assigned to me specifically."

After thinking for a while, she shook her head: "Just write first, why bother with so many things."

Taking out her pen, she first wrote a few Guange-style block letters on the draft paper next to her to practice, and then started writing on Shangluo's homework book.

"The weather is so sunny today, and the scenery is beautiful everywhere~~" Under the night light, Apollonia hummed and walked towards the street.

"Wow, it's so quiet on the street. There's no one everywhere."

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!" A burst of rapid barking broke the silence of the night.

"Who! Who is standing there! Stand still!"

"Huh?" Apollonia looked back and saw that the policeman holding the thin dog was holding a blunt-tipped three-pronged iron ruler, which is the standard equipment of the police.

"That's you, stand still! Who are you, wandering here so suspiciously in the middle of the night! Who are you?"

The policeman stepped into the light.

"Ah, it's Shangluo. It's really weird. From a distance, I thought he was a suspicious bad guy. Ah Huang, don't scream! Don't you recognize him? This is a neighbor."

"Woof woof woof!" Ah Huang was still barking and didn't stop.

"Tsk, this dog is full tonight." While holding Ah Huang, the policeman asked him, "What's wrong with you coming out so late at night? Do you want help?"

"Ah, wait." Apollonia wanted to say it was okay, but she still asked: "Are there any delicious late-night snacks nearby!"

"You go out for a late-night snack? It's really strange. You don't drink at the bar?"

“If only there was wine!”

"Wine? Then we have to go to Qinhuai River."

"Thanks!"

"Hey! I haven't finished talking yet. Children can't go there at night! You can't go! Hey, Ah Huang, why are you attacking?" He grabbed the collar and pulled Ah Huang back, "Hey, Forget it, forget it. The scholar exam is over, you are an adult now. You are not a child, so I don’t care. Oh, why are you still barking? "

He knelt down and looked at Ah Huang: "Don't scream! Don't scream. Do you look down on me? If the director is holding your hand, you won't accept it? Sit down!"

A clear command of "sit" made Dahuang sit down.

"Hey, that's right. Let's... eh?" Only then did he realize that as soon as he sat down, a gurgling stream of water flowed down from between Ah Huang's buttocks, and there was also a smell. Indescribable horror showed in Ah Huang's eyes - as if he had seen a ghost.

"Good guy, you still peed?" Before he could see Ah Huang's eyes, he pulled Ah Huang back, "It's over, it's over, where is the disinfectant? If a dog urinates on the street, you will get a demerit. Yes! It’s over, it’s over! Looking at the good things you have done, you are not allowed to eat roast duck butt tomorrow!”

Dragging Ah Huang, he walked past where he came from. Only Ah Huang was still staring at the place where Apollonia left, still in shock.

"Woohoo~" Apollonia came out of the Confucius Temple subway station wearing roller skates all the way.

"Grape juice, grape juice, fermented grape juice. Where, where, the fermented grape juice I like." Going upstairs from the path, using Tianyi Guiren to open the door, Apollonia opened the subway station on the ground. Side door——

As soon as he opened the door, a stern figure stood in front of the door. The moonlight illuminated half of his face, revealing the essence of light contained in his pupils:

"Where did you come from, you evil heretic? I've been staring at you for a while, and you showed up so arrogantly on the streets of Yujing. You deserve it." The words suddenly stopped, and the visitor's face was revealed in the moonlight.

It's Fu Yuanshan.

He stared at "Shangluo" for a long time:

"What, it's the Huiming Envoy. Why are you coming out today? Shangluo agreed that you would come out to play? Come to have a drink? What do I think you are doing! If you had told me earlier, you would have scared me. I thought you would have to work overtime after get off work. Come on. Come, come this way, I’ll recommend a store to you.”

Chapter 645 Smell

"Oh, that's it. So you took some time out to go shopping by yourself at night?"

"Yeah, yeah." Apollonia nodded, "Uncle Fu, you won't take me back, will you?"

"This is Shangluo's own business. I never care about anything that has nothing to do with me. I think Shangluo should have a better understanding of his own situation than an outsider like me. So, I won't say too much. After all,' It's not like any quarrel between dogs."

"What is that? What is that?"

"Don't ask. In short, I know the principle of estrangement. You can handle your family's affairs by yourself. But if you want to have some wine, I have to confirm one thing: student ID card verification Just a moment. Or other documents that can prove your identity."

"what"

"You didn't bring it, did you?"

“I brought my subway monthly pass”

"Okay." Fu Yuanshan glanced at him, "No problem, you are old enough to buy wine. If you go to buy wine and someone asks you, just show him this monthly card."

"Ah, so it's so scary? What will happen if you buy alcohol before you are old enough?"

"You have nothing to do. The most you can do is criticize and educate. But the person who sells you wine will be sued. So as a law enforcement officer, I have to take a closer look. After all, I am too lazy to fish for law enforcement. I wish nothing happened all day long. clear?"

"Yeah, I understand."

"So, what would you like to drink?"

"I want wine, something sweet."

"Sweet? Wine? Wait." He looked at Apollonia, "You should know, right? When the wine is fermenting, the sugar should have been fermented into alcohol. You want to drink sweet wine? Not really No. But if you want to drink something very sweet, I have to confirm. Did you make a mistake?"

"Ah" Apollonia was stunned, "Wait, let me search."

The two were silent for five seconds.

"No, I can't find it." Apollonia put down her phone, "What on earth was I drinking? I looked up wine, and there was indeed very little sweetness in it. But among the few, there didn't seem to be the one I drank. Kind of."

"It's normal that it can't be found. The coverage of the spiritual network is quite limited now. Although Qi practitioners are very knowledgeable people, because the base is too small, there are always places that cannot be covered. Please tell me about what you drink. What does wine taste like?”

"Grape flavor."

"." Fu Yuanshan touched his forehead, "Since it's wine, you can tell me something other than grape juice."

"The sweetness is a bit like honey, a very mellow sweetness. And then there are the aromas of apricots and peaches. I can only smell the taste but not the texture, so that's all I know."
