Before I knew it, it was the end of winter.

The specific heat capacity of water is very high, and the absorption and release of heat are slower than on the shore, so the four seasons in the sea are not very clear, and even the temperature difference between day and night in coastal islands is not very large.

Luoya is located in the tropics, and there are few big winds and waves, so it has been able to attract a large number of submarine residents to live in the history of hundreds of millions of years, and it has achieved the enduring commercial prosperity here.However, recently affected by the huge cold current, the temperature on the sea surface has dropped sharply, and the thermocline has dissipated. The temperature difference between the upper and lower boundary of 200 meters has narrowed. The part near the sea surface is extremely cold, as if it can freeze the scales to fall off the skin.In addition, there are often storms sweeping the sea surface, stirring the sea water 100 meters below the sea surface, so that residents close to the sea surface have become mushrooms, and the wealthy residents have migrated to the deep water area.

Every time this season, the staff of the Overseas Registration Bureau are idle in the office to doze off, without knowing that jellyfish are crawling on their faces; the housing agencies in the deep water cities are so busy that they can even eat a dozen raw jellyfish. .

There are still less than three months before the upgrade exam in June.In the first-level arcane academy, the freshmen's busyness is very different: those who think they have the ability to pass the exam are all too busy, with dark circles hanging into sacks; those who feel that they are completely incapable, give up directly After taking this exam, watching those good grades become so busy, there is a happy New Year.

Fanli is neither.She has read past test papers, and it should be fine to review for two or three months.However, this year's examination papers have been overhauled, and the reference value of previous examination papers is no longer high.She can only find out what she has learned as much as possible, and devote all of her free time to researching time and space soul potions.She also has to take care of the work on the black market to make sure she can afford to eat.Therefore, she should be the busiest person in the whole department, often so tired that she doesn't even want to say anything.

Fortunately, the work of the "Heart of Styx" salesperson is really cost-effective.Just sitting in a daze in the black crocodile trade union during the rest time, the hourly salary will be doubled.Two days ago, she was lucky, and other salespeople were picking up customers. She was holding "The Theory of Time and Space Pharmacy" and calculating the ingredients on the paper. A particularly angry customer came in and said that he was going to drink immediately. Medicine, he wants to tear up the pleasure that stole his wife.

In this way, 150 floated from the sky.

And he was very uncomfortable, so he went back the same day and told Le Se about the incident, and also told Le Se that he wanted to shred Le Se.

As a result, the next day, Le Lu also came, saying that he would not be afraid to challenge the man in the green hat, and he would drink "Heart of Styx".Fortunately, the salesmen were all called to talk by the manager at that time. As soon as Fanli sat down, she took the job again.

She barely spoke the whole time, and another 150 floated from the sky.

With an hourly salary and earned 312 floats in two days, Fanli felt that she suddenly became the richest man in Luoya.The sound of shaking the coin in the pocket is like hearing the singing of heaven; open the pocket and take out the largest coin inside-it is twice as large as 1 German. It has a dark blue white temple on the front and printed on the back. With the holy light sea feathers-this is the symbol of the supreme divine power of Guanghai, "Great Divine Envoy", below it is written "50 Fulumen".

After making money, it is natural to improve life.Stay away from nasty roommates, landlords, and dirty slums.

That night, accompanied by the black-line man's "dong-dong" sound, Fan Li knocked on the door of Dangdang's room and saw that she was covering her ears that had been stuffed with sponges with her hands, and she was practicing vocalizing outside the window.

"I'm going crazy!" Dangdang yelled out using sound insulation, "What the hell is this fat haddock guy doing! Doesn't he ever stay out of heat for a day?! I want to know why elementary sound insulation can't help. Isolate the outside sound! Crazy..."

"Then have you ever thought about changing a place to live?" Fan Li smiled.

"If you want to think about it, you definitely don't have money." Dangdang akimbo, with a look of "I am poor and I am afraid of whom".

"Then in your imagination, where is the best place to live?"

She thought, either renting a middle-class house in the city center, or renting a suite near the school, can save the burnout caused by commuting.

However, Dangdang's answer was: "Antioch Street!"

"Antioch Street...? The one next to us?"

"Ok."

"why?"

"No sewage or garbage!"

"Just... that's it?" Fanli covered her head, "Can you be a little bit more pursued..."

Fanli finally knew, and it didn't make any sense to discuss this topic with Dangdang.She directly found several two-bedroom and one-living apartments near the school, and at the same time negotiated prices. After screening out the lower cost-effective apartments, she finally decided on two.The rent of a family is 55 floats per month, and the rent of a family is 12 floats a week, which is 48 floats per month.She left the second house without talking, and asked the first house: if she paid half a year's rent in one go, could she not pay the deposit, which was as cheap as 300 floats.

In winter, the middle and upper class citizens tend to move to the deep water area, so the business in this area has been bleak recently.The first agreed without hesitation.Then she asked the second house if it could be as cheap as 280 floats if the 26-week rent was paid in one go.The second tangled for a while and agreed.Finally, she said to the first one, I’m sorry, the other one I found has the same environment as yours (actually this one is much better), but they dropped to 280 floats and they are very sincere, so I won’t rent you here. .As a result, the first one said, I’ll give you 270, don’t talk to him.

"Deal."

Fanli happily signed the contract, paid the rent, and saved 60 floats.With the savings from previous part-time jobs, you can also buy a communication device.She asked Xinghai where to buy the communication device, and Xinghai said he would take her there.

Then, Fan Li took the contract and went home to show it to Dangdang.Dangdang screamed and threw her down: "Deep Blue, my lord, you can have a house near the school! I don't want Bourne, Lizi, you marry me!!! Wow wow wow!!"

"Wait, I have something to tell you." Fanli pushed her away and pointed to the amount in the contract. "You are optimistic, I signed a one-year rental contract with them. After half a year, one month The rent is 55 floats. By then, I may have already gone to St. Jerjana. It should be a bit difficult for you to live in this place with your savings. So, starting tomorrow, remember to find a roommate in the school for the second half of the year. About 20 to 30 floats are paid every month."

"Wow, Lizi, you are going to St. Yegana!" Dangdang didn't hear what she was talking about at all, but just hugged her neck and wailed, "I don't want you to go, I don't want you to go!!"

Fanli helped the amount: "Forget it, let me find it for you..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard the intensive "dongdongdongdong" sound approaching slowly.She covered Dangdang's mouth and made a "hush" motion.After knowing what this "dongdong" sound meant, and thinking of living under the same roof with the black line man, Fanli felt scared and disgusting.Dangdang is the same.

Finally, there were two knocks on the door.Fan Li watched the door warily, the palms of his hands condensed fluorescence, and a hockey puck quickly condensed above the door.

"what's up?"

"Excuse me, are you two moving?" The black line man's voice sounded outside.Even though his voice was steady, his estrus did not stop.

Dangdang stared at Fan Li.It was a horrified expression of "He didn't want to do something to us before we moved."

"Yes." Fanli shook her head at her.

"You haven't signed a contract with the landlord. It's good to pay the rent regularly every month, right?"

"Correct."

"That's right, this house is very cheap. I want to bring my brother and son in. But if I change people, the landlord may ask for a price increase. So, I want to discuss with you. The landlord? I will tell the landlord that I will pay the rent on your behalf."

Fanli relaxed a little, and the ice ball on the door gradually melted.She thought about it for a while and felt that there was no risk: "Yes, we will move this weekend."

"Okay, thank you two little girls. I will contact them now." The black line man sounded very happy.Not long after, "Dongdongdongdongdong" followed back to the first floor.

At noon on Miseri, Kaimo and Lina saw the sea of ​​stars near the library.

Leaning against the wall, Xinghai was looking down at an adventure novel set in the mechanical age.The waves are like the wind of a summer night, swaying nearby seagrass and anemones.And he is also like the wind, shining in the mottled water pattern.

Kaimo and Lina were very angry about being humiliated by Fan Li in the library last time.Seeing Xinghai, Kai Mo didn't get angry, clenched his fists, and wanted to go and clean him up.But before he swam a few meters, he saw a young girl swimming next to Xinghai.

"Have you waited a long time?"

The girl pulled the strap of her schoolbag, her eyes were the brightest stars in the night sky.Her body is thin and thin, and her short, lively hair and tail fin are also swinging with the waves.If you don't say the name, no one will know that she is the Brahma pear that burst out with amazing energy.

Xinghai looked up, saw her eyes light up, and became extremely gentle again: "No."

"Today's land food class was all barbecue. Everyone did a good job. I tried a bite from the east and the west, and I almost got full." Fanli rubbed his stomach, "Fortunately, I kept it. Order your stomach and we can go to the city to eat delicious food later."

"Good." Xinghai laughed.

They are in a good mood, but Kai Mo is in a bad mood.

"Actually, I wanted to say something very early." Seeing Kaimo's anger, Lina raised her eyebrows and said, "Kaimo, haven't you noticed the changes in Xinghai?"

"I found it. He is jumping more and more now."

"No, it's not a question of jumping or not. Do you remember what he was like when we first met Xinghai?"

Of course Kaimo remembers.

That day was the open day of Loya University. He was already eager to learn about university life, so he took a group of people to the school in advance to get familiar with the environment.Unfortunately, that day he also met a team of Orca boys with the same goals as him.Therefore, a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and a school cannot tolerate two hegemons. It is only reasonable that the two groups of them will cause trouble with each other.Little brothers, after you came and I pushed and shoved for a while, the irritable eldest brother on the other side became angry and said that he would fight Kaimo.

Kaimo has been competitive since he was a child, and didn't want to say "My dad is a deputy consul" at this time.But the opponent is so big, he had already guessed that he would lose badly before the battle.After biting the bullet and accepting the move, the situation was worse than he thought.

Then, the other party bullied him and became addicted to bullying.They went to the school gate to eat wimply. Before they sat down, the big brother took the lead, saying that it was their boss.

Seeing the big guy coming with a smug look, Kai Mo's intestines turned blue with regret.He regretted why he ran so fast every time when his father gave him special training; he also resented his mother and allowed him to run so fast.

The kids around are watching.He was in a dilemma again.

At that moment, Xinghai appeared.

"If you don't have an appointment to eat in the restaurant, whoever comes first, it is against civilized dining rules to occupy a seat in advance. Please this brother to get up and give up the seat to the first guest."

Kaimo remembers clearly, just looking at Xinghai, he is tall, muscular, and healthy.But he stood in front of the big guy, like a weak chicken.Therefore, even if his attitude is gentle and polite, the other's eldest brother is also contemptuous: "Do you know who you are talking to?"

At that time, even Kaimo wanted to drag down the sand sculptures that did not know where they were coming out, so that he would not cause trouble.But Kai Mo also noticed that Xinghai's eyes didn't blink much in the face of the coercion of the big guy, and his heartbeat was stable like a machine.

"I don't know who you are, but I know, you must be a person, otherwise you wouldn't have so many followers."

"Haha, do you know I'm not easy to mess with?"

"Of course. I am not a pure-bred hunter, but I have the ability to sense strong people." Xinghai calmly said, "It's just that when a leader does not bully his defeated opponents, others will willingly obey him. The man-thirsty shark just now The clan brothers have already lost to you in school. At this time, if you show the mind and tolerance of a male group leader and return his position to him, you may also get a bunch of new brothers, right."

The big guy was persuaded, and he even admired Xinghai's attitude of neither humble nor overbearing.But as soon as he got up, the little brothers felt a crisis. They decided that the newcomer was going to compete with them, and they began to provoke a divorce, saying that Xinghai and Kaimo were in the same group, just to make the boss lose face.The big guy was feeling shameless, and the younger brother who talked the most was hit by Xinghai.

This punch made the big guy and Kaimo stunned.

This mixed guy is too courageous, right?!

"A mob like you will only hinder your boss from making friends." Xinghai spread his hands in the direction of Kaimo, "They can become very good friends. Do you plan to continue to instigate you in the future."

Hunk and Kaimo were stunned again.

"I hit your little brother as a last resort." Xinghai said to the big man, "you can hit it back with this punch, and I won't complain."

The big man raised his fist, Xinghai didn't even blink his eyes.A few seconds later, the big guy burst out laughing, turned around and laughed with the other boys, patted Xinghai on the shoulder and said, "I like you, really, you kid is a bit interesting. What's your name?"

The tense atmosphere in front of the station was easily resolved by Xinghai.

Of course, the turning point that turned the Orca tribe into the younger brother of Kaimo was due to Kaimo's family background.But Kaimo lived for 82 years. That was the first time he had not made new friends through his father's identity.

Afterwards, they sat together and had a big meal, Xinghai said nothing more or less, as long as they spoke, they would definitely get to the point.Moreover, no matter how many mixed voices there are, everyone will involuntarily stop and listen to him alone.

When a group of males come into contact for the first time, they will soon be able to divide the hierarchy of small circles.The leader is usually clear-headed, broad-minded, strong and decisive, and then has absolute right to speak in this group.This is the default rule of all males in the food chain.

At that time, Kaimo even forgot that Xinghai was a hybrid, and had an illusion: Xinghai was the boss, he just didn't want to be it.Because the sophisticated, sophisticated, calm, calm, graceful and wild temperament that he showed, and his knowledge of human nature... is not what an eighty-year-old should have.

Later Kaimo found out that he was not alone in thinking that way.They invited Lina that night. Like everyone else, Lina was instantly attracted by Xinghai.Other shark brothers even secretly said: "I don't know why, Xinghai is obviously a hybrid, but he is really attractive."

Someone also added: "No matter what he says, I just want to say'yes, yes' and help him do things. What kind of demonic temperament is this."

Before the change, if Kaimo heard the little brothers talking like this, they would definitely beat their mothers ignorant.But for a while, Kaimo was not too angry.Because he feels the same.Moreover, what Xinghai said to the big guy even reminded him of a person.

It was the man whose dad opened the newspaper every day and would definitely read its related news word by word.Even in the news, the man said nothing.

That year, the man returned to the Sea of ​​Stars for the first time, and every one of the consul's subordinates had publicly scolded him, with all the insults.But after all the consuls were killed, more than 70% of these people were used by him, and now they are all working for him.When people asked him how he achieved absolute leadership, there was only a smile like Mu Chunfeng in his golden eyes: "I don't bully, I only respect the defeated men."

Therefore, the theme of Red Moon Sea's report on him that day was: "The strong show the weak, and the weak show the strong."

Xinghai didn't look like him at all, but he smiled as a person.

But that was only the first star sea.

Thinking back to this, Kaimo couldn't help but slap his lips: "When he first met Xinghai, his aura was comparable to that of a dictator. But then I realized that it was just an illusion."

"Do you also think he looks like a dictator?" Lina exclaimed, then shook her head, "Ah, but I think he may be a little fan, so the way he speaks and does things a bit imitates the dictator. I have known it for a long time. , He can't pretend. He is just a lonely little boy now, and he can do nothing but follow Fanli all day long."

"I'm the same as you think."

"How do you say, when a person looks like a weak chicken, acts like a weak chicken, and speaks like a weak chicken, there is no doubt that he is a weak chicken."

"You're right, I think too much." Kaimo nodded, "He is now protected by Fanli. If Fanli becomes weak someday, I will definitely beat him to death first. This friend who is more colorless than a friend Dog stuff."

Fanli and Xinghai took the bus to the city center and found the largest communication equipment mall.

The shop assistants in the entire mall are wearing snow-white uniforms, looking around, just like the scene of a wedding or a sacrifice.Seeing Fanli and Xinghai coming in, a salesperson rushed over with enthusiasm and raised the communication device in his hand and said, "Miss, are you interested in learning about our company's latest "Fire Jumper" and "Crimson Guard"? Look at this "Firewalker", the style is very cool, there will be flames and shadows when you connect to the phone; the "Crimson Guard" protects personal privacy, even if it is Su Shiye's etheric body. I don’t see what the phone said..."

Fanli has been very poor. It has been a long time since she visited the mall. She was a little excited: "Are there other styles? I want to see them all."

"Of course, please follow me."

Then, among the styles that the sales clerk introduced to her, some light stand up, some need to lower their heads to talk, and some have Bluetooth headsets, which are produced according to the race. Among them, the shark special model can answer the phone by current induction. , Hammerhead sharks can choose to purchase half price off the navigation function, and the voice function of the dolphin can be perfectly integrated with their whistle sonar system...

Finally, Fanli chose a pink oceanic universal communication device.128 floats, the price is within her budget.She picked up her purse full of messy coins, and was about to pay, when suddenly Xinghai held her hand:

"I'll buy it for you."

Fanli blinked and tilted her head to look at him: "Although I am a bit poor, this communication device is still affordable... Are you sure you want to buy it for me?"

"You don't want me to buy it for you, do you." Xinghai paused, "I remember when school just started last year, a boy in our department wanted to buy you a communication device, but you refused."

Fanli thought for a long time before remembering that the boy was from the Orca tribe. He said he wanted to buy her a communication device, but she was scared away by marriage.She almost forgot about it herself, scratching her head, and said embarrassedly: "Are you there at the time?"

"Well, I was nearby, I heard it."

"I don't know that boy, he wants to buy it for me, of course I don't want it."

"Then I buy it?"

"I want!" Fan Li smiled.

"Huh?" Xinghai was a little surprised, "Don't you think it's an objectified woman?"

Very strange.He didn't think he bought it.Fan Li smiled and shook his head.

"Lili, I bought it for you, are you afraid that I have an attempt? You said that boys will not give you things for no reason."

"I did."

Xinghai was startled and wanted to say something, but in the end he just turned his head away and dared not look into her eyes: "I suspect you really don't know what you are talking about."

"I like you to buy things for me." Fanli smiled brighter, "So, I accept this gift, thank you."

"Are you stupid or frank..."

Xinghai was originally accusing her, but the roots of her ears were red before she finished speaking.He took out the purse from his pocket, but the coins in it were large.

"Wow, you are so rich!" Fan Li looked at the pile of coins, exclaimed, "I earn so much by working part-time in the'Sea Clan Ships'? You don't know, before the black crocodile guild, I almost couldn't afford to eat ."

"Impossible." Xinghai said lightly, "If I have a bite of rice, there will be you."

Xinghai went to the cashier to pay.Fanli happily fiddled with the communication device and exchanged contact information with him. He raised the communication device and said, "The first contact person is you."

"Ok."

They left the mall together and roamed the bustling streets of Luoya together.Both sides of the spacious avenue were filled with dark green seaweed, spreading all the way to the end of the field of vision, and the smell of street food was soaked in the sense of smell, which made people unable to help the index finger.Fanli sniffed, and suddenly said, "Xinghai, does what you said just now count? If I don't work in the future, will you take care of my food?"

"of course."

"That's it." Her eyes sparkled. "If I can survive two months later, you must be prepared to support me for a long time."

Xinghai was stunned, and now she really understood. Fanli knew exactly what she was talking about.Looking at the girl with a strong smile in front of him, he wanted to hug her tightly, but he restrained his impulse.

However, thin fingers tentatively touched his hand, and then passed through his five fingers and clasped his fingers tightly."Bang, bang, bang," the rapid heartbeat he heard sounded.

It was the first time that Fan Li took the initiative to hold a boy's hand, and was already dizzy with nervousness.She lowered her head with red cheeks, cleared her throat and said, "There is no way, let the hands be softened. I can only let you materialize and hold your hands."

Obviously I wanted to get close to him, but found such a bad excuse.She really wanted to crush herself.However, Xinghai didn't mind at all, but laughed: "Okay. I will work hard to make money, materialize you to marry me, materialize you to have a baby with me."

"Ahhhh, what terrible lines are you talking about! I won't hold you!" Fan Li drew her hand, covering her face and rushed to the bus stop.

Xinghai looked at her from behind and laughed out loud.

***4.3 The Black Coral Goddess Gang Special in the Small Theater***

Lina: "Today I am going to pierce the hypocritical masks of some readers. They always say that they don't like the dictator so much, because the dictator is handsome. What's this? It seems like you like Xinghai because it is not because He is handsome but because he looks like."

Genius Eros: "The one who likes Master Su Shiye is the beautiful mature male dog, and the one who likes Xinghai is the beautiful young dog, okay."

Fierce princess: "They are all face dogs, are you still divided into three or six nines, stupid human girls! Don't cannibalize!"

Lina: "That's right. Say that Xinghai is different, innocent and cute. No, do you like the innocent and cute Kaimo?"

Kaimo: "??? Lina crazy woman, I provoke you?"
