Just as Li Yao was about to tell the difference, the other party had already hung up the phone, and the sound of "didi-didi-didi" came from the loudspeaker, making the atmosphere in the shabby room even more awkward.
Li Yao looked at the dark mobile phone and really didn't know what to say.
He sighed and squatted on the ground holding his head.
"You know, I actually believed you for a moment just now.
It's really, really shameful!"
Zhang Daniu was heartbroken and said, "I really don't know whether you are crazy, me, or the world is crazy.
I actually believe you!"
Li Yao raised his head and opened his mouth.
He felt sour and weak all over his body.
He couldn't say anything.
Even his own belief began to waver.
"Have you nothing to say?"
Zhang Daniu said, "If you have calmed down and learned to face reality, Teacher Niu will treat you to breakfast, and then you will go back to school, right?"
Li Yao nodded helplessly. … The breakfast stall at the entrance of the community, although it was only after six o'clock in the morning, was already crowded with people and the aroma was fragrant.
Especially the sound of fried dumplings and buns being grilled in a huge pan was even more exciting.
People's index fingers move and their mouths water.
Zhang Daniu sat down with ten fried dumplings and ten fried buns, and then directed Li Yao to bring their small wontons, added enough chili sauce and vinegar, took a sip of wonton soup, and stuffed three fried buns with green onions.
Only then was he satisfied and smiling.
"Let me tell you, no matter how bad yesterday was, how tired and frustrated you are, as long as you eat a steaming breakfast in the morning, there will be no worries at all!"
Zhang Daniu took a deep breath of the rich aroma and said, "The real world is quite beautiful.
We still have to live our lives in a down-to-earth manner and stop thinking so wildly, okay?"
"……Um."
Li Yao picked up a fried dumpling and found it tasted like chewing wax, but he still forced himself to swallow it.
"Are you really okay?"
Zhang Daniu looked at his words and said, "How about after dinner, call your family first?"
"I don't have anyone at home."
Li Yao held up the wonton bowl and covered his face, "My parents left when I was very young.
I am a lonely person.
Even if I eat enough by myself, the whole family will not be hungry."
"Oh, that's it.
Sorry, I didn't know."
Zhang Daniu scratched his head for a long time and said, "No wonder you are addicted to the world of novels, hoping to find solace in the illusory Xiu Si universe!
Hey, how can I put it, I don't mean to ask you to completely give up...fantasy, just pay attention The difference between fantasy and reality, don’t get too involved, understand?
"In this way, Teacher Niu is not completely unkind.
Although you are not a female college student with a swaying skirt and long hair, Teacher Niu still welcomes you to come over to communicate and discuss when you are free - as long as you don't take advantage of the dead of night.
It’s time to kick in the door and it’ll be fine!”
Li Yao smiled: "Thank you, Teacher Niu."
"You're welcome.
If you really want to thank me, don't talk about crazy things like 'cultivating the four universes' all day long.
When you go back, prepare your resume, find a stable job, and live a normal life."
Zhang Daniu said, "If you act like this, you will be thanking me.
Do you understand?"
"I see."
Li Yao said, but his eyes were still a little dazed and wandering.
He ate in silence for a while, but couldn't help but said, "What is the so-called 'normal life' like?"

"That's it!"
Zhang Daniu said while drinking wonton soup, "Find a job that works from nine to nine, with less money and more work, endure the boss's roar and the boss's exploitation, work hard for several years, pay the down payment for a house, and then bear With decades of debt and a small home of your own, find someone with a similar situation to yours.
My wife, after giving birth to a child, should invest her extra time, energy and money, if any, into the child.
As she slowly becomes fatter, the child will gradually grow up.
When the child grows up, she will Repeating this process, isn’t this a normal life?”
Li Yao frowned: "It doesn't sound very attractive!"
"What else?"
Zhang Daniu curled his lips and said, "Don't think it's unattractive.
How many people have thought that they can't live such a peaceful life.
Let's face the reality.
We are neither princes, generals nor heroes.
We are ordinary people."
Isn’t that what life is like?”
"I still think I have superpowers, no, we both have superpowers."
Li Yao whispered softly, "I am a 'cultivation man'.
I have super strength, super speed, super vision and hearing, and super self-healing ability.
In the process of continuous awakening, I will also control the ability to move mountains and seas, control wind and rain, shoot fireballs and Don't worry about arcs In short, I know all the magical powers of cultivators; and you are the 'Codeword Man', and your superpower is codewords!
We two should not live such a mediocre life, we should use our superpowers to rule in the darkness.
Fight against the evil forces of this world!”
"What did you say?"
Zhang Daniu asked, "What is my super power?"
"Code words."
Li Yao said, "You have to code quickly!"
"Then what?"
Zhang Daniu narrowed his eyes.
"No more, it's just coding.
This is a very powerful super power!"
Li Yao told the truth.
"Do you think you are speaking human language?"
Zhang Daniu said, "You are a humble gentleman like Teacher Niu.
He has been cultivating himself for more than 30 years.
He is not as knowledgeable as you.
If he were the second one, he would have wonton soup on your head."
"I was wrong, Teacher Niu."
Li Yao held his belly and said, "Hey, these fried dumplings and fried buns seem to be quite delicious.
Can I have another twenty - twenty of each?"
Zhang Daniu glared at Li Yao fiercely.
After a long time, he still lamented, raised his hand and shouted: "Boss!"
After a while, a mountain of fried buns and fried dumplings were brought to the two of them.
Needless to say, Li Yao devoured it.
Zhang Daniu spent a lot of money coding like crazy last night, and his appetite was much bigger than usual.
Don't talk.
There is a greasy TV hanging in the corner of the shop.
It is usually only turned on at night and is just a display during the day.
Today, it was turned on by regular customers to watch the latest reports on the earthquake in the Western Pacific.

It is said that the intensity of this earthquake has been revised to 9.3 on the Richter scale, making it the second strongest earthquake in history.
The epicenter of the earthquake was in Edo Bay, only a few dozen miles away from the largest megalopolis in the archipelago and one of the top ten megacities in the world.
First, the devastating shock wave caused serious damage to the city, followed by an overwhelming tsunami, which caused half of the city to collapse.
Every city has turned into a water town.
Even the Fuso Islands, where earthquakes occur frequently and people are accustomed to them, are also trembling under the threat of catastrophe and entering a national state of emergency.
Because of the natural gas leak caused by the earthquake, the entire city was filled with explosions, fireballs and black smoke, making it look like a horrific battlefield.
Buildings with dozens of floors are as weak as building blocks.
The so-called human civilization is not worth mentioning in front of the power of nature.
To make matters worse, it is said that out of the total 16 nuclear power plants along the coast of the archipelago, eight have been hit by earthquakes and tsunamis, posing the risk of nuclear leakage.
This is the official statement, but there are rumors on the Internet.
It is said that serious nuclear leakage accidents have occurred in several nuclear power plants, and the radiation intensity is unprecedented!
"I really didn't expect that last night's earthquake was so serious.
It was like the plot of "The Sinking Islands"."
Zhang Daniu chewed his teeth and said, "Have you read "The Sinking of the Islands"?
It is a very classic science fiction novel.
If you follow the logic of you and the 'Dream Traveler', the author of the novel must have experienced similar events in his previous life." , can you write immersive and lifelike novels in this life?
Hahahaha!”
Li Yao didn't answer.
He stared at the ravaged city in the news pictures.
The crumbling ruins seemed to be floating on the burning sea water.
It really felt like the end of the world.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the corner of the camera.
It seemed like a person jumped down from the gradually tilting 20 to 30 storey high-rise building, and then flew away and flew out of the camera!
"This is--" Li Yao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zhang Daniu looked up and saw nothing in the shaky camera.
"nothing."
Li Yao wasn't sure if it was his own eyesight, "It seemed like a fly flew in front of the TV."
"This is what a small shop is like.
It's unclean.
You won't get sick after eating it.
Are you afraid of a fly?"
Zhang Daniu pointed to Li Yao's cell phone on the table, "Your cell phone is ringing."
Li Yao was slightly startled.
He clicked on the screen and saw a text message from an unknown number.
"What on earth do you want to do with my brother?
Have you read all his posts on the Internet?
Do you believe the crazy things he says?"
By the way, this is the number of "Dream Traveler", sent by Dream Traveler's sister!
Li Yao's fire of hope struggled to the death and bloomed with the last ray of light.
He held the phone in both hands and quickly typed: "Yes, Miss, I not only believe it, I have encountered the same situation as your brother.
Maybe your brother is not crazy, can you tell me more about him?
At least tell me where he is receiving treatment!"
"Maybe he's not crazy, maybe you're just as crazy as him."
The other party quickly replied, "My brother is being treated at the Ark Psychological Research Center.

Maybe you should go there and have a look."
"ark?"
Li Yao held his mobile phone in a daze.
He had never heard of such a mental illness treatment institution.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Daniu saw his ugly face and asked curiously.
Li Yao didn't say anything and pushed the phone over.
Zhang Daniu took it and glanced at it.
He didn't take it seriously at first, but soon, his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and his face became pale and strange.
"What's wrong?"
This time it was Li Yao's turn to ask, "Teacher Niu, do you have any questions?"
"No, no, I don't know.
It must be a coincidence, right?"
Zhang Daniu stammered, "Ark Psychological Research Center?
This institution seems to have contacted me just a few days ago."
