Chapter 15 Don't Enrage Him
Tianhai University is one of the best comprehensive universities in Tianhai City. It is located in the university district opposite the northernmost end of Fiction Street, only about one kilometer away from Fiction Street.

Because the distance is not far, Liu Xing and Liu Shiming chose to go on foot.

The scorching sun is in the sky, and the sun is shining brightly.

There are clusters of flowers on the sidewalk, full of fragrance, and along the lively novel street, siblings walk slowly side by side.

Liu Xing has only been out of the psychiatric hospital for two days, and he hasn't been to many places in Fiction Street, so he just took this opportunity to take a stroll around.

Although there are many bookstores on Fiction Street, there are also leisure and entertainment venues such as concert halls, bars, book bars, KTV, shopping malls, etc., which attract many tourists to visit and shop here every day.

After searching all the way, after a short time, he had reached the northernmost position of Fiction Street. Liu Xing looked up and saw a white skyscraper standing on his left hand, which was nearly [-] meters high. The shape of the whole building was very strange, like A huge open book stands between the sky and the earth.

This skyscraper is called Jianshu Building, and this is the Tianhai City Book Testing Center.

The grades of novels in Huaxia Kingdom are assessed by book appraisal experts. The Book Inspection Center has gathered many well-known book appraisal experts. If ordinary people have novels that need to be appraised, they can directly send the novels here.

Appraisal of novels is charged, and the price is not cheap.

"Sister, I want to go in and go shopping."

"A Xing, this is the Jianshu Building, there is nothing to visit. If you want to play, I will take you to the amusement park?"

"No, I just want to take a look at the Jianshu Building."

Under Liu Xing's insistence, Liu Shiming accompanied him into the Book Testing Center and went straight to Jianshu Building.

As soon as I entered the lobby on the first floor of the building, my eyes suddenly opened up. The lobby is extremely spacious, covering an area of ​​more than 400 square meters. The smooth floor is covered with elegant and noble white jade, which is spotless and slightly radiant, like a white mirror. I was a little embarrassed to step on my dusty shoes.

Looking up, the top of the head is a circular cross-shaped spiral roof, and the light blue ceiling is decorated with lily-shaped white lights, just like a giant beautiful picture of blue sky and white clouds.

After looking in the hall for a while, Liu Xing was already dumbfounded, no matter which corner he looked at, it was extremely luxurious.

Not only the decoration of the hall is luxurious, but also the guests in the hall are luxurious, either with jewels, or wearing gold and silver, you can tell that they are rich people at a glance.

This is not surprising. Although China has no shortage of novels, high-quality novels are very expensive.A three-star novel costs at least 5 yuan, a four-star novel is ten times more expensive, and a five-star novel can be sold for sky-high prices.

Therefore, those who can look up to star novels are basically rich and powerful people.

Liu Xing looked around and found that there was a service desk in front of the hall, and many people were applying for appraisal with their novels. He leaned forward and watched for a while, and then he roughly understood the procedure of book appraisal and some related regulations.

"Sister, I have a novel to appraise." At this time, Liu Xing suddenly put down the schoolbag on his back, and took out a book from his bosom - "Notes on the Tomb".

Liu Shiming was puzzled: "Ah Xing, why do you want to identify this novel?"

Liu Xing confessed: "This is a two-star novel, it should be worth a lot of money."

Liu Shiming was surprised: "Didn't you buy this "Book Tomb Notes" at a street stall for 8 yuan when you were in junior high school? How did it become a star novel?"

"Uh..." Liu Xing didn't know how to explain it for a while, and then said, "Isn't the family short of money now? If this novel is certified as a two-star novel, I can exchange some money."

After listening, Liu Shiming didn't feel the slightest joy, but instead frowned, and asked cautiously: "A Xing, are you... all right?"

"No." Liu Xing emphasized again, "Appraisal of novels requires a book appraisal fee. I don't have any money. Sister, you can lend me your credit card. After a while, I will pay you back after selling "Book Tomb Notes."

Seeing him talking more and more vigorously, Liu Shiming's face became more and more anxious, and he told: "Ah Xing, you stand here and don't move, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be right back, understand?"

Liu Xing was a little puzzled, but his sister seemed to be in a hurry, so he didn't ask any further questions.

After explaining, Liu Shiming hurried out of the hall and came to the entrance of the building. She took out her mobile phone and immediately called Yi Jingen, a doctor in the mental hospital.

Yi Jingen is Liu Xing's attending doctor in the psychiatric hospital.

After two beeps, the phone was connected.

"Hello, is this Doctor Yi? I'm Liu Shiming, Liu Xing's older sister."

"Liu Xing? Oh...is that the young man who cured dementia after reading the mystery novel "Detective Wang Nan?" Dr. Yi Jingen's voice came from the phone.

"Yes!" Liu Shiming said, "Doctor Yi, something is wrong now. Just now A Xing suddenly took out an ordinary novel, and then said it was a two-star novel, and wanted to take the novel to Jianshu Building Changing money, the behavior is a bit abnormal, what's going on?"

"Is there such a thing? Maybe the dementia has relapsed?"

"Relapse?" Liu Shiming swallowed, and what she was most worried about seemed to appear, "But, isn't Ah Xing recovering?"

Dr. Yi Jingen explained: "I thought it was impossible to cure Liu Xing's disease, but he suddenly recovered, and I couldn't understand it. I guess, Liu Xing's dementia may be intermittent. Well, it’s not good for a while, it’s capricious.”

"Intermittent? Capricious?" Liu Shiming suddenly became more anxious, and asked with concern, "What should I do now, should I send Ah Xing back to the hospital?"

Dr. Yi Jingen said: "For intermittent dementia, it depends on the situation. If the patient still has basic logic and has not completely lost his mind, he can communicate with him slowly, do what he wants, and stabilize him. mood, which contributes to recovery from this condition."

Liu Shiming thought for a while, and said truthfully: "A Xing should not lose his mind now, but his logic is a bit confused, and he treats ordinary novels as star novels."

"If this is the case, you should first communicate with him in his own way, everything goes according to his wishes, and don't provoke him." Dr. Yi Jingen specially reminded, "Patients in this situation are more extreme. Yes, if some of his wishes are not fulfilled, he will be irritable and his condition may worsen."

"Follow him? Well, I see."

"If there is any situation, please contact me again. If the condition worsens, send it to the hospital in time."

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Doctor Yi."

After the phone call, Liu Shiming still had a sad expression on her face. Her younger brother suddenly fell ill again. How could this make her happy?
After clearing up her mood a little, Liu Shiming walked back to the lobby on the first floor and found that Liu Xing was still standing there waiting.

"Sister, you are finally back, what happened?"

"No...it's fine."

"Can you give me the credit card?" Liu Xing said seriously, "I want to authenticate "Book Tomb Notes". After the appraisal is completed, it can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan."

"..." Hearing what he said, Liu Shiming's heart seemed to be stabbed. The younger brother seemed to be a little abnormal, and seemed to have symptoms of paranoia, "Ah Xing, do you really want to identify novels?"

"Yes. This "Book Tomb Notes" is a two-star novel."

Seeing that he was so sure, Liu Shiming didn't say anything, and readily agreed, because Dr. Yi Jingen just explained that he must follow Liu Xing's wishes and must not provoke him, so as not to aggravate his condition.

So, Liu Shiming and Liu Xing went to the service desk in the hall together, and a waitress with a sweet smile greeted them.

"Hi sir, do you need any help?"

"I want to identify a novel." Liu Xing put "Book Tomb Notes" on the front desk.

"Sir, please fill out the book appraisal application form first, and pay the book appraisal fee at the same time."

"How much is the book appraisal fee?"

"The novel "Book Tomb Notes" you want to appraise has 20 words, and the appraisal fee is 2000 yuan."

"2000 yuan? Can it be cheaper?"

"Sir, I'm sorry, the book appraisal fee is a uniform price for the whole city."

"It's okay to unify the price, you can lower the price uniformly!"

"..." The waiter was speechless for a while, with a smile on his face, "Sir, the price is set by the superior, and I can't lower the price for you."

Liu Xing only had 100 yuan in his pocket, which was not enough. At this time, Liu Shiming had already taken out a pink wallet from his pocket, took out a credit card from it, and handed it to the waiter: "Can you swipe the card?"

"OK."

Beep, there was a crisp sound, and 2000 yuan was paid out at once, which is really faster than running water.

The moment she swiped the card, Liu Shiming felt a slight pain in her heart. It took her several months to save the 2000 yuan, and now it is all gone.

Just to prevent his younger brother's condition from getting worse, Liu Shiming endured it, and treated it as a treatment fee for his younger brother.

"Waiter, we'll be back in an hour to get the appraisal result of the novel."

"Sir, sorry, it takes at least six hours to appraise a novel."

"Can you hurry up?"

"Sir, six hours is already the fastest."

fastest?six hours?

This efficiency is too low!
Liu Xing originally thought that the appraisal of novels would be quick and would be available immediately, but now it seems that he was too naive.It actually takes six hours to appraise a 20-word novel, and it is [-]:[-] noon, which means that you have to wait until [-]:[-] pm to get the appraisal result of "Book Tomb Notes".

Until then, Liu Xing realized the value of the pair of book eyes he had.

It takes at least six hours for a book appraiser to appraise a novel, but it only takes about five seconds for Liu Xing to appraise a novel with book eyes, which is thousands of times more efficient.

In terms of book appraisal, Liu Xing alone is worth all the book appraisers in the Book Testing Center.

Liu Xing didn't want to wait in the Jianshu Building all afternoon, so he turned around and said, "Sister, let's go, let's go to Tianhai University first."

Liu Shiming actually wanted to take Liu Xing to a psychiatric hospital, but she was afraid of angering him, because patients also have self-esteem, and they hated others saying that he was sick.

Helpless, Liu Shiming had no choice but to follow Liu Xing's wishes and take him to Tianhai University to observe the book coffin.
