Last Totem Novel - Chapter 149
Chapter 149 Eggs
After a long period of torment, the battle in the deputy president’s assistant office finally came to an end.
After taking their second bath, Tie Zha and Mu Yuqinxin returned to the front hall of the office neatly dressed, and then sat face to face on the sofa drinking tea and chatting. At this moment, both of them were exhausted, especially Mu Yuqinxin. She almost couldn’t hold the teapot steadily when she was making tea. Even so, they acted calmly as if nothing had happened just now.
“This tea is not bad.” The iron slag held the exquisite blue-and-white porcelain teacup and sighed while sipping the tea.
“Is it delicious?” “Delicious.” “I made you the best Far East white tea just now. You said it wasn’t delicious, so Xiaoqing had to make you the cheapest bottle of black tea in a bag.” Mu Yuqinxin said seriously, but the smile in her eyes could not be concealed.
“Is that so?” Iron Slag asked calmly.
“Yes.” Mu Yuqin replied calmly.
“I remember you begging for mercy just now.” Tie Zha changed the topic and said.
“Is that so?” “Yes.” “Really?” “Yes.” “Are you sure?” “Yes.”
The two of them exchanged words like boiling water, and time flowed quietly like this …
At dusk, Mu Yuqinxin tactfully suggested that she was going back to Leng Hu. After the incident at the Ivy League Hotel last time, if she did not return home on time, her sister would be unhappy. Tie Zha sat upright on the sofa and said that she could go back first. He could just stay here alone.
Mu Yuqin looked at this posture and knew that he was going to stay here for the night. She immediately supported her forehead and sighed softly, “Brother, don’t you have a place to stay?”
At this time, Tie Zha remembered that Mu Yuqinxin was a student union cadre. He immediately asked her if she could help him get a student magnetic card and ask for another identity. Just as Mu Yuqinxin wanted to ask the reason, she remembered that Iron Slag had killed the nobles of Silver City in the Northern Wilderness. It was estimated that someone was eyeing Zhang Tie’s identity. He then asked him if that was the case. Tie Zha nodded and said that his student’s magnetic card could no longer be used. Otherwise, the other party would have found him according to the card swiping records. Now that the money in the card could not be withdrawn, he had no money …
Mu Yuqin asked in her heart, who was eyeing him. If it was someone from the Lei Ling Clan, it wouldn’t be a big problem, because the Lei Ling Clan’s Saint Ranked Clan Chief was seriously injured by Lena. In order to avoid Lena’s revenge, the members of the Lei Ling Clan did not dare to provoke Tie Zha, so his “Zhang Tie” identity student magnetic card could be used as usual.
Tie Zha shook his head and said that he didn’t want to cause trouble, so he wanted to study hard. Even if the Lei Ling Family didn’t dare to provoke him, he had to avoid it. Mu Yuqin thought for a moment and felt that what he said made sense. She asked him to wait for a few days before she went to get him a new student magnetic card. Then, Tie Zha asked awkwardly, what should he do in the next few days? Go back to Candlelight Castle? Mu Yuqin thought that she couldn’t. The administrators there now treated him as her boyfriend. If she went back to muddle along, she would be laughed at. By the same token, Tie Zha could not stay in her office, otherwise she would be gossiped about. Although she wasn’t afraid of scandals, the news would definitely alert Mu Yu Ling Lan.
Having said that, Tie Zha was embarrassed to stay here and said, “Borrow some money.” Mu Yuqin asked him how much he wanted. He said 10 gold coins was enough. He and Bai Xiaoyun went to a hotel in the suburbs, where it was cheaper.
Mu Yuqin snorted softly and said that he had a soft meal and had a little black face. Even though he was very unhappy, he still acquiesced. After all, there was something wrong. It was not a glorious thing for a man to ask a woman for money.
After looking down on the iron slag, Mu Yuqinxin touched the pocket on her skirt. Only then did she remember that she did not carry any cash and only had a faint golden student magnetic card on her body. Looking at Tie Zha’s expectant expression, Mu Yuqin smiled and said that she didn’t have any money. Tie Zha’s entire body immediately went bad. He said that he ate a soft meal later, and said that he had a little black face later. He accepted it, but he didn’t get a single copper coin in the end.
Mu Yuqinxin looked at his gloomy expression and laughed even happier. He frowned and carried her over. Then, he felt around and confiscated her student card.
“Ah ~ Bad guy ~ Give it back to me ~” Mu Yuqin’s heart was filled with anger as she stretched out her hand to snatch it back. Tie Zha grinned and said, “No.”
‘”Didn’t you say you didn’t spend money on women? How bad ~” Mu Yuqinxin snatched it and said unhappily.
“It’s right to spend your money. Who wants you to be my woman?” Tie Zha dodged back and said casually.
As the saying goes, those who speak have no intentions, but those who listen have intentions. Hearing this, Mu Yuqin was stunned. A trace of sweetness entered her heart. Her heart was both sour and comfortable. Unknowingly, her hand dropped down.
“What’s the matter?” Mu Yuqin’s heart suddenly became dull, causing him to have doubts. Was he going too far?
“It’s fine ~” Mu Yuqin came back to her senses. She put her arms around Tie Zha’s neck and kissed him. She looked at him and asked, “Brother, do you like me?”
“Yes.” Tie Zha replied. “The password is” Mu Yuqinxin gave a group of numbers and warned him not to lose it.
Moments later, the two of them separated in front of the beige building. Mu Yuqinxin took a special bus back to the big house in Cold Lake, while Tie Zha walked to Little Candle Lamp Fort to find Bai Xiaoyun. After walking for a while under the dim street lamps, the iron slag came to Little Candle Fort. It was getting late, and the candle castle was brightly lit. The students were still studying tirelessly.
After entering, Tie Zha found Bai Xiaoyun in the administrator’s office and dragged him away to the War God’s Hall.
Halfway there, Bai Xiaoyun asked Tie Zha what he was doing in the War God’s Hall. They didn’t have any money now, so they didn’t even have any instant noodles to eat. The iron slag pulled out the magnetic card from Muyu Qinxin and waved it in front of his eyes. The light golden card emitted a gentle luster under the street lamps, appearing dignified and low-key.
When Bai Xiaoyun saw the card clearly, he was so shocked that his mouth widened. He cried out, “Star Stone Black/Card!” Looking at Bai Xiaoyun’s fuss, Tie Zha grinned and asked if he had seen wrong. This was clearly a golden card. After a while, Bai Xiaoyun recovered from his shock and asked the iron slag to approach the street lamp to see what color it was.
When the iron slag approached the street lamp, it quickly noticed the strange appearance of the card. The closer the card was to the light source, the darker the color would be. The farther away it was from the light source, the closer the color would be to gold. If there was no light at all, the card would emit a faint golden light.
Bai Xiaoyun explained that about 70 years ago, a meteor landed on the central continent. Scientists have extracted a crystal from a meteorite and named it the astrostone crystal. After repeated experiments, scientists have found that mixing starstone dust with metal gives the metal strange photosensitivity.
However, this property did not change the strength of the metal. It only made the metal more beautiful, so it did not have much industrial value. Bankers saw the market value, and over the next few years they bought up stardust and made special magnetic cards for the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people. Today, due to the scarcity of starstone dust, the black/card has become a symbol of identity.
At this point, Bai Xiaoyun solemnly reminded the iron slag. If this card was picked up, it should be sent to the management center of the academy and returned to the owner. They couldn’t afford to offend someone with such a high status. Tie Zha said that this card was lent to him by Qin Assistant, so he could use it without worries.
“Assistant Qin, are you talking about the girl in the office just now?” Bai Xiaoyun asked doubtfully.
“She is the assistant of the vice president of the Student Union, don’t you know?” Tie Zha felt a little strange. Bai Xiaoyun had spent more than two years in the academy, and more than ten days in Little Candle Lamp Fort. How could he not know Mu Yuqinxin’s identity? And even if he didn’t know, didn’t the librarians tell him?
“Ah!” Bai Xiaoyun was shocked and immediately asked, “You said that she is Mu Yuqinxin.” Iron Slag nodded. Bai Xiaoyun took a deep breath and said, “No wonder he looked familiar back then. He turned out to be a big shot.” He then explained that he had initially thought that the “zither assistant” the administrator referred to was only the librarian’s assistant, but he had never expected it to be the “zither assistant” of the Student Union, because he felt that it was impossible for Tie Zha to recognize such a high-status person.
Hearing Bai Xiaoyun’s words, Tie Zha couldn’t help but think. If he were to tell him that he not only knew Mu Yuqinxin, but also bullied her, and not only did he bully her, he could bully her again at any time. He didn’t know how wonderful his expression would be.
Along the way, Bai Xiaoyun kept sighing and expressing his loyalty to Tie Zha, but only a few words came and went.
“Brother Tie, I am your loyal follower.” “Brother Tie, remember to bring your little brother with you when you get rich.” “Brother Tie, Bai Xiaoyun is willing to do anything for you, from big things to small things, from battles to life, from the battlefield to the bedside, just one sentence from you.”
Tie Zha felt goosebumps all over his body, especially the phrase “from the battlefield to the bedside”. It was so disgusting that it was indescribable. After chatting for more than half an hour, the two finally arrived at the War God’s Hall. Iron Slag found a touch computer that could be seen everywhere and prepared to check the funds in the information card.
After swiping the card, a pleasant notification sounded from the speaker.
[Respected student union cadre, good afternoon. Please enter your password to confirm your identity.]
Following that, Tie Zha entered the string of numbers that Mu Yuqin Xin had told him according to the prompt tone …
36920812
As he typed in, Tie Zha suddenly felt that this set of numbers was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully for a while, he finally remembered that this set of numbers was his birthday …
In an instant, his mind became somewhat dazed, because in this world, there was only one person other than him who knew about his birthday.
That person was Mu Yu Ling Lan.
In a trance, his thoughts seemed to have transmigrated through time, returning to Tieshan Town many years ago.
One morning when he was eight years old, Old Man Tie got two eggs from somewhere and dyed them purple when they were cooked. Old Man Tie put the egg in his hand and said that today was the day he picked it up, and that it would be his birthday in the future. According to the old custom in their hometown, children need to eat two red eggs on their birthday so that they can grow up healthy.
He ran to Tieshan Town with red eggs and shared his birthday present with his little companions.
One of them, the red egg shelled. It was white and emitted traces of heat. It was a delicacy that they could not hope for.
However, when he saw the thin and weak girl wolf down her food, he couldn’t bear it and stuffed a mouthful of red eggs into her.
After eating two eggs, the little girl looked at him eagerly and grabbed the corner of his clothes, pleading, “Big brother, I still want to eat.”
“Don’t worry, there will be more next year. Today is my birthday. From now on, we will have red eggs for our birthday every year.”
