Nightmare’s Call

Cassie still meets Miss Vera who comes to buy breakfast every day.

Vera never said a word, even when she came to buy things, she was just silent.

Because Cassie already knew what they had been buying.

As the time goes.

Soon, the renovation of the bookstore was completed, and the plaque was changed to a new name—Hope Bookstore.

A very common name.

There is no store opening event, and no celebration decorations such as gift boxes and flower baskets. No other congratulators came to join in.

Suddenly, the bookstore opened.

Except for the newly renovated storefront, the rest is completely the same as the previous Heguan Bookstore.

But it doesn't matter, Cassie likes to read books, so she took some free time, closed the canteen a little earlier, and walked towards the bookstore alone.

The weather was a bit gloomy, thick clouds piled up, and it seemed to be in an intermediate state between rain and sunshine at any time.

I hope that the front of the bookstore is deserted and deserted, except for a few regular customers and college students from the former Heguan Bookstore who stood there flipping through books, there was no one else.

Cassie, dressed in gray casual clothes, had just entered the store. Then he saw Vera sitting in front of the counter with a calm expression.

This cold and delicate girl was dozing off by the counter with her eyes out of focus.

And the boss named Lin Sheng sat calmly at the back of the bookstore, flipping through books lazily by a bookshelf.

It really looked like he was flipping a book, not reading a book, because he turned the pages too fast.

Cassie was curious, but just stood aside and glanced at the book the boss was reading. It seemed to be some basic mathematics textbook.

"This kind of book can also be read with gusto," he muttered in his heart, and started wandering around the bookstore.

There are only six bookshelves in the entire bookstore, and they are full of books, most of which are teaching materials.

There are all kinds of textbooks and test review question sets that nearby college students need.

There are also hanging bookshelves on the wall, and on each shelf are some old books that look very old.

Cassie reached out and took out a book, flipping through it casually.

This is an ordinary residential area, and ice specials who have optimized their genes generally don't come here, so obviously, these books are purchased for ordinary students.

He dug out a collection of novels, the author was a guy he didn't know, but it didn't matter, the title seemed quite attractive to him.

Cassie flipped through and slowly brushed up. Just idle to pass the time.

Staying in the bookstore, reading until after eight o'clock in the evening, Cassie even forgot to eat, and it took a long time to react.

When I came back to my senses, it was already dark outside.

The few customers in the bookstore have long since disappeared.

He is left here alone.

“Shouldn't be back for dinner”

He sighed, and glanced at Vera at the counter. The girl was still the same as during the day, and she didn't intend to speak at all.

The boss is still sitting in the same place, except that the book he is reading has changed, nothing has changed.

Cassie sighed inwardly, waved to Vera as a greeting, and then slowly walked out of the bookstore.

Although the boss is indifferent, the novel is really good.

Let's continue watching tomorrow.

Cassie thought so, and walked slowly towards her shop.

Lin Sheng put down the textbook in his hand, and glanced at Vera who was in a daze.

It has been several weeks since he came to this planet, and he has roughly figured out the abilities that Vera has mastered.

There are two kinds of abilities in Vera, controlling metal and controlling electrons.

Although the intensity of this control is not great, the scope is very wide.

And what makes Lin Sheng a little curious is that Vera seems to have very good computing power.

Although it is not as good as the holy river, but in some individual calculations, it is not far behind.

This made Lin Sheng have a lot of guesses about the identity of the War Helmet Clan she represents.

No matter how you look at it, this battle helmet looks like a mech.

And Vera is more like the core of controlling the helmet. A complete set of battle helmets can be reassembled through her core at any time.

Control metal, control electronics, and high-speed computing power. Combine these.

"Vera." Lin Sheng came back to his senses and said calmly.

"Yes." The girl looked up from the counter.

"I'll buy some middle school textbooks tomorrow. All subjects are required."

"Okay." Vera nodded seriously.

After Lin Sheng gave his orders, he ignored this guy. The way the two of them get along now is very strange.

Vera hopes to gain his approval. And he is still concerned and curious about it.

The focus is on the possible meaning behind Vera's life experience.

And curious, because Vera doesn't feel like coming to the world of science and technology for the first time at all.

She integrated here much faster than Lin Sheng. It was as if she had lived here in the first place.

Perhaps, her original background came from this world.

Thinking of this, Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was considering whether to go to Infinity City again with all his strength.

In Infinity City, he showed his strength. But that is only the strength of his normal form.

And after calculating that he could not reach the peak, Lin Sheng made an emergency stop when the two-headed lizard lord was at the peak of rank and order, and restrained his sprinting speed.

"If Vera's background really came from this world, it would be really interesting." Lin Sheng looked away from Vera, and a hint of interest flashed in Lin Sheng's eyes.

these days. He has already studied all the basic elementary school textbooks used on this planet.

Then came the middle school textbooks.

Then there is university.

The basic knowledge of a civilization in the star era naturally has a very delicate division of labor.

Then it was time for Lin Sheng to consider his direction.

"If Vera really came from this world, but she can help in the strategy of Infinity City, then maybe I can get something I want in this world, maybe."

Thoughts flashed through my mind.

Lin Sheng returned his attention to the book in his hand.

Time flies by.

With the opening of the Hope Bookstore, this street where ordinary people live has gradually become a little more lively.

Because Lin Sheng's bookstore allows others to read books for free. It's not like many bookstores, which only let people look at it for a while.

Ordinary people from poor families often come here to read books.

Casey is one of them.

Of course, apart from this reason, Vera, an employee in the store, is also the source of motivation for many people to come here every day.

After all, Vera's appearance, even in the adjusted Bing Terry, can reach the upper-middle level.

The most important point is that Vera's appearance has no artificial feeling at all. Seems like she's just plain human.

As time went by, everyone on the block gradually got used to the two young people in Hope Bookstore.

Cassie is also used to going to the bookstore to read books after closing in the afternoon.

The books in the bookstore are updated quite quickly, and it seems that Vera has gradually become fond of reading novels.

Slowly, as time went by, Kari, who stayed until the bookstore closed every day, became more and more familiar with the two people in the store.

Because I was a little embarrassed to read free books, Cassie went slowly every time, remembering to bring some fruit cakes for Vera, which were her favorite sweets.

I will also bring some Kafu mango tea to the boss.

Kafu mango tea is not really tea made with fruit, but tea made from branches, leaves and vines of fruit.
