Chapter 436 Central Bookstore 2
Chapter 436 Central Bookstore 2
"Mr. Dong, we can explore on our own from now on. You don't need to follow us anymore!"
After listening to this guy ramble on for half an hour, Fatty Lin couldn't take it anymore and interrupted him.
If he were to give a normal introduction, it would be fine, but this guy has to say something like "Japanese people are awesome" every three sentences. Not to mention Fatty Lin, even I can't stand it.
The key point is, we can be tolerant of Mr. Yu, but why should we tolerate you?
"what?"
He paused, clearly not expecting us to be so direct. A flash of surprise and anger crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a forced smile, "Alright, you can look around on your own. If you need anything, just tell Xiao Li. Xiao Li, please take good care of these distinguished guests!"
As he spoke, he gave instructions to one of the administrators beside him.
"Why!"
The man known as Xiao Li, who is around thirty years old, is in cahoots with Director Dong.
"He doesn't need it either!" Fatty Lin said curtly.
A flash of anger crossed Director Dong's face again, but he quickly regained his composure and forced a smile, saying, "Alright, you can look around on your own. Call me if you need anything!"
"Nier!"
At that moment, Long Nier and I exchanged a glance. Long Nier understood immediately, and with a flick of her sleeve, a few grains of black sand-like substance were sent out, sticking right onto Director Dong and Xiao Li.
"Ni'er, what kind of curse did you just cast?"
After the two left, I asked in a low voice.
"Without any added ingredients, these two won't be able to have sex for at least six months!" Long Nier whispered.
"This punishment is good!" I nodded.
"Yes, Nier, you're really amazing!" Fatty Lin praised.
"Fatty, don't be like this. I'm not going to use any spells on you. I'm not used to you being like this!" Long Nier said, wrinkling her nose.
"hey-hey!"
Lin the Fatty, his thoughts exposed, wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he laughed, "Girl, I was just scared!"
"Fatty, you're really shameless!" I said.
"Get lost, you're everywhere!" Fatty Lin said irritably.
"If you keep acting arrogantly towards me, I'll stop your medication for this month!" I snorted.
"Thirteenth Brother, I was wrong. I'm shameless!" Fatty Lin's expression immediately changed.
"Virtue!"
I was truly at a loss with his shamelessness. "Tell me, what did you figure out?"
"That's quite a lot!"
Getting down to business, Fatty Lin's expression turned serious. He said, "Let's start with the location. The Central Book City is backed by Lianhua Mountain to the north, which is the dragon vein of Shenzhen; it connects to the Civic Center to the south, which is the political vein of Shenzhen; it links to Futian CBD to the west, which is the commercial vein of Shenzhen; and it faces Hong Kong Island to the east, which is the financial vein of Shenzhen!"
"The four pillars of the economy—Dragon, Politics, Commerce, and Wealth—surround the central bookstore. To put it bluntly, the central bookstore is the very heart of Pengcheng. If problems arise here, Pengcheng's decline is inevitable!"
Fatty Lin held up four fingers, said "point," and then withdrew one.
"Damn, those Japanese devils have big ambitions!" I cursed.
"This isn't ambition, it's insatiable greed!" Fatty Lin snorted and continued, "Look at this so-called 500-meter rooftop promenade. They say it's a pedestrian walkway for citizens' leisure, what a load of rubbish—that 'enjoying the citizens' experience is the best design'!"
Finally, Fatty Lin swore, "This pedestrian path connects to Lotus Mountain; in my opinion, it's just a scalping tunnel!"
"Is there anything else?" I asked.
"have!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Take another look at the four gardens in the Central Bookstore. Don't they match the Four Souls?"
"The four souls are Affection, Wisdom, Love, and Courage!" I murmured.
"The Poetry Garden is a green space decorated with the theme of poetry culture. This represents the spirit of intimacy, which is used to collect the energy of interpersonal harmony!" Fatty Lin continued.
"What about the book garden?" I asked.
"wisdom!"
Before Fatty Lin could answer, I realized what was going on.
"That's right!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "The Book Garden is a reading space, representing the Mysterious Soul, which is wisdom. It's used to steal cultural wisdom and fortune!"
"What does Liyuan represent? Does it represent love?" I asked.
"Um!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "The Etiquette Garden is an area showcasing etiquette and culture, representing the Soul of Happiness, which is love, and specifically absorbs emotional energy!"
"The remaining amusement park is a music performance plaza, representing the Wild Soul, specifically drawing upon the spirit of striving and fighting—it's courage!"
"The so-called poetry, books, rites, and music may seem like our traditional etiquette, but they actually embody the Four Souls of Japan: Affection, Love, Wisdom, and Courage!"
"This substitution trick was executed flawlessly; this designer has a deep understanding of Chinese culture!"
"Then what does that square garden represent?" I asked.
"I think this might be the control center of the magic array. We'll have to wait until tonight to see for ourselves!" said Fatty Lin.
"Shall we continue shopping?" I asked.
"I'm not shopping anymore!"
Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "Without a compass, a dowsing rod, and a yin-yang mirror, we can't measure some things. We'll have to wait until tonight!"
"Are we going to use the Dragon-Seeking Ruler and the Yin-Yang Mirror this time?" I was a little surprised.
As the name suggests, the dragon-seeking ruler is used to find dragon veins and explore their pathways.
The Yin-Yang Mirror can reveal hidden energy channels.
When dealing with the Yu family's affairs last time, Fatty Lin didn't even use the Dragon-Seeking Ruler or the Yin-Yang Mirror; he only used a compass.
"We have no choice but to go, it concerns the fortunes of Pengcheng, we have to be extremely careful!" Fatty Lin said.
"That's true!" I nodded.
Half an hour later, we returned to Mr. Yu's company headquarters.
"So, what did you find?" Boss Yu asked.
Fatty Lin recounted what he had seen. After listening, Boss Yu pondered for a moment and said, "What you said is largely the same as what Master Zhu said. Unfortunately, Master Zhu died at the Central Bookstore less than two days after he finished speaking!"
"Mr. Yu, if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten to remind you. If we go to investigate tonight and find that some Japanese have died inside, you'll have to help us!" Fatty Lin said.
"You mean a magical duel, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Yu's eyes lit up.
"It's not certain, but we should take precautions, after all, Master Zhu is dead!" Fatty Lin didn't say anything definitive.
"Okay, don't worry, no matter how big the mess you make, I'll clean it up for you!" said Boss Yu.
"Then I'm relieved!" said Fatty Lin.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go eat!" Boss Yu said, glancing at the time.
The meal lasted nearly two hours, mainly because Mr. Yu, like a curious child, kept asking questions.
After we finished eating, we went back to the hotel to rest. As soon as we entered the room, my phone rang.
I glanced at it, and it was Sister Helen.
"Sister Helen, is there any news about Li Qian's kid?" I asked.
"no!"
Li Hailun smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to a job. Do you know Zhang Xiaoling?"
