Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 15 Is Me Not Enough?

When Xia Zhi returned home, he put the wine he brought back into the refrigerator, but the glass of beer that he planned to drink after work ended up being put in the refrigerator because of the store manager's family, and could only wait until the next day. Go and drink it.

Tomorrow is Saturday.Xia Zhi couldn't help but think while soaking in the bathtub.The study time in Japan and China can be said to be very different. School ends at three o'clock in the afternoon, there is no self-study in the evening, and classes are held from Monday to Saturday, etc.

Eh, wait a minute...

Monday to Saturday is the same in Japan as in China, at least for high school students, in the slightly special form of "voluntary extra tutoring".

Xia Zhi soaked in the bathtub for about five or six minutes, and then came out.Suddenly it occurred to me that I paid the water bill myself, so I sat in again.

Although it's very comfortable, I'm still not used to it.Xia Zhi is currently in such a situation.Just like a person who has been hungry for several days and suddenly gets a huge sum of money, the first thing that comes to his mind is "I can eat a lot with this much money", but my thinking still cannot be transformed well.Thanks to his self-discipline, Xia Zhi was able to survive, although he became much lazier than when he was in China.

Compared with the peak state of waking up at 05:30 in the morning and going to bed at one or two in the morning, it is really not enough.

"It feels like hours are lost every day for no reason..."

Maybe this is the time, Xia Zhi thought.After soaking for five minutes, Xia Zhi couldn't continue soaking. He was bored and felt a little uncomfortable.Sure enough, everyone's body structure is divided according to region. Just like the Cantonese are responsible for eating and the Fujianese are responsible for being eaten, it is destined. This is God's will.

After quickly drying himself and putting on light clothes, Xia Zhi walked past the living room and headed straight for the kitchen.However, it is said to be a living room, but if it is connected to the kitchen, it feels more like a dining room. Every time he passes by, Xia Zhi always wants to open the refrigerator to see if there is anything edible.

I poured a glass of juice, took the cup and went back to the bedroom.He was in a good mood right now, so he didn't even think about turning on the computer and asking for trouble. Anyway, the connection would time out or he would suffer endlessly. Video games are really... awesome.But I still won’t play today.

Xia Zhi plans to finish reading "The Ordinary Future". Although the story is already clear, for a work that you like, you must at least watch it until the end. This can be regarded as a kind of support.As for the ones you don't like...you don't have to tear them up and burn them. After all, you bought them with your own money.Putting it on a bookshelf can also be used for decoration. Bookcases are also one of the facets of people.

Of course, if anyone dares to put a work like R18 or Brokeback Mountain on a bookshelf for people to visit, I have something to say about "a true warrior".

But it is said that people who hide well have bookshelves with two layers, the outside and the inside.It's not a superficial disguise like changing the book cover, but directly embedding the bookshelf into the wall, directly building a two-story bookcase inside and outside. The kind of bookcase that only the truly rich can afford. Xia Zhi only reads other people's novels. I've seen it before.

Although the unlucky kid spent three months of his part-time job to build such a powerful prop, he was still regarded as "a yandere who is as sensitive to his brother as a dog. He always wants to do some indescribable things to his brother and is hostile to everything." "The yandere sister who is a woman who is close to her brother" found her and smashed her to pieces with a chair. While her brother was crying and crying hysterically, she said with a bright smile, "I am not enough."

This kind of ghost plot that often appeared made Xia Zhi couldn't help but want to pry open the heads of all island country novel writers to see how many dark things were contained in them.Although this [brother] does deserve it.

Different from online serialization with Chinese characteristics, although web novels also exist in Japan, their scale cannot be compared with the novel websites that have formed a strict operating system in China, and Japanese publishers are almost unwilling to give up publishing books. A way to have more operating space and greater profits - after all, they don't have that many people.

Compared with 3000 million, whether it is 14 billion or 15 billion, it is more than ten times that. What works in China may not work in Japan.Even if the benefits of publishing physical books are lost, the huge readership can still make up for this loss, not to mention that some super popular works will eventually release physical books for purchase that collect money for writing and reading.

Although I don’t know how it compares with its disadvantages, it is clear that there are advantages to having a large population.

When Xia Zhi picked up the novel, he suddenly remembered the suspicious man in black he met on the way to work after school this afternoon. Thinking about it now simply refreshed his outlook.

Nowadays, there are so many people breaking into houses, breaking into doors, picking locks, and even robbing people in public. Some people actually go to bookstores to steal books.I am afraid that I have some kind of disease that "will kill me if I don't read books" and I spent all my savings during the treatment process, so I can only go to the bookstore to steal books. This story makes people sad and laughs.

I conveniently sent the photo to the coffee shop group chat, and attached the message "Please be careful of suspicious persons", then put the phone aside and started reading the novel.Although there are only the last 30 or so pages, it still took a lot of time for Xia Zhi, who likes intensive reading and occasionally needs to look through dictionaries.

By the way, the ending of the book is exactly as Natsuki guessed. The male protagonist, who was treated as a fool by the heroine, finally used three legendary artifacts in Japanese light novels named [Tenderness], [Understanding] and [Love] to defeat him. He fell in love with this arrogant girl, and then the two of them went to a claw machine shop in a sparsely populated mountain with random names to catch dolls.

As for why there are so many words "的" in the above sentence, it is because there is no way to explain the bizarreness of this result without writing it down.However, Xia Zhi still likes this kind of funny yet gentle story, and this is also recognized by many readers, and the sales volume is high and looks down on other works.

Xia Zhi looked at the time and saw that only more than 40 minutes had passed, but the end of it was only about thirty pages. Xia Zhi felt that this time was a bit too much, and it was probably because he spent too much time flipping through the dictionary.If only the flow of time could be slowed down, or even paused...

"Hey Varudo!" He still shouted, and the result was obvious.

"Tch, it's useless?"

Xia Zhi closed the book and placed it on the bedside.Finally, I took my laptop over, opened the web page, typed [Method to stop time] in the search box using the Chinese input method, and pressed Enter.There were quite a lot of results retrieved, but Xia Zhi did not filter or click on them. He just checked them out of interest.Sometimes, one thing does not need to have a beginning and an end, as that would be too tiring.

The night was still very long, but Xia Zhi had nothing to do.If he were at home in China, Xia Zhi would most likely get up and go to the refrigerator to find something to eat, but now he couldn't. He knew that even if he got up, there would be nothing for him to eat.Bored people are always particularly bored, and he ended up playing Minesweeper.

The fastest record for beginners is about three and a half seconds. Xia Zhi knew very well how this came about... One day when he had nothing to do, he started Minesweeper Elementary, going crazy and messing around, and then started again, and then started messing around wildly, until a A few hours later, he completed the basic minesweeper in three and a half seconds. He happily posted a comment on the Tieba forum and received countless idle comments.

Minesweeper is actually a very interesting and brain-training game. The rules are simple and classic, just like Sudoku. You can play alone for a long time if you calm down. It is much more fun than jumping around to win chicken.

Xia Zhi, the basic level minesweeper, could easily get rid of it, so he directly turned on the advanced level, which would allow him to play longer, and then...

"Why didn't I realize that mine clearing was so time-consuming?"

Xia Zhi looked at the time in the lower left corner of the computer screen speechlessly, three forty-seven.He only played ten games in total.

Xia Zhi turned off the computer and placed it on the bedside, and fell asleep.When the alarm clock rang again, Xia Zhi opened his slightly bloodshot eyes. He wanted to turn off the alarm clock and fall into the quilt, but he restrained himself well.He lives alone and has a lot to do.

While yawning, he prepared breakfast and lunch.Similarly, because there were not many ingredients, Xia Zhi didn't really have much choice. Except for replacing Mapo tofu with homemade tofu, nothing else changed.

If possible, he would like to use instant noodles for three meals a day.

Instant noodles can really be said to be the world's ultimate food.People with zero cooking experience will also try it. As long as there is hot water, you just need to throw away the paper bowl that comes with the instant noodles. There are multiple flavors to choose from, the price is cheap, and the quantity is large.It has become popular in all Internet cafes in China. It is the favorite of dead nerds and the savior of fat nerds.

Group play?I'll make some noodles first.Strengthen?I'll make some noodles first.Duel?I'll make some noodles first.

Although this is true, it seems not good to eat instant noodles in the classroom, so Xia Zhi can only give up this great plan.

As usual, Xia Zhi walked out of the apartment with his lunch box and walked straight to school.

People who have experienced Chinese high schools naturally have ways to adjust their own state. Xia Zhi has his own secret - if you still want to sleep when you get up in the morning, get up more quickly and take deep breaths when walking on the road to the classroom. It is helpful to resist drowsiness.

Well, although Xia Zhi himself has never tried it.He seems to be more resistant to sleep. He can always face the new day with a good spirit. At least he looks good, but this is enough.It's better than someone who can be seen sleeping at a glance. Teachers generally won't ignore the disrespectful behavior of dozing off.

Moreover, if there is a teacher with a good temper, will there usually be someone who goes out of his way to make things difficult for him?
There may be a few rebellious teenagers who would do this, but this definitely does not include Xia Zhi.The direction that Xia Zhi is working towards is a Chinese international student who is inconspicuous, does not cause trouble, or causes trouble for others. He does not need an exciting life, and stability is the best choice.

As always, Xia Zhi sat in his seat and read a book.Then came in another young lady from a wealthy family with very unique ideas.
