The Magician of Clow

Chapter 1475: Finding the Answer

I forgot who said it, but dreams are the continuation of day in the night.

The bright sunshine, training with everyone in the night bureau, returning home in the sunset, the usual lively night in the cottage, saying goodbye with a smile after talking to the elders,

Fly into the night, let go of your body, and soar freely in the vast sky with your mood soaring.
Then, when I felt the exhilaration, I soared up to the higher night sky.
The next second, the endless night broke through like a thin film.
From darkness to brightness, a gentle yet strong wind blew past, and in an instant I arrived in a world with endless reflections on the water.
The sun, moon, and stars lit up overhead, and I could vaguely hear the child's voice.

He looked up at the huge silver-white mechanical dragon that was hundreds of meters long and gradually became clear before his eyes.

It was huge and magnificent. Through some invisible connection, the giant beast in front of me seemed like hands and feet. An unprecedented power came from its body.
But at this moment, I felt the burning heat.

The flames appeared from nowhere, growing out of the water like flowers, spreading rapidly until the gorgeous "sea of ​​flowers" filled the entire field of vision.
Everything in front of me changed in an instant as it was ignited.

Palaces! Towers! Markets! Streets and city walls! A scene of prosperity and splendor, everything was burned in the fire, with the last remaining light.
The blazing flames burned the night sky red like the end of the world, and a ray of golden light penetrated the center of the sea of ​​fire.

Finally, the entire burning world crashed down upon us.

I vaguely saw something dark
puff!
When the impact came, it brought a suffocating feeling of oppression. When I persisted to the limit in the increasingly desperate situation of being unable to breathe,
Fang Ran suddenly opened his eyes on the bed.

then
A black cat ball was pulled out from his face with a "pop".

At this moment, he jumped up from the bed, and heard the mysterious creature in front of him who saw him wake up. He shook his triangular ears and shouted energetically and happily,

Fang Ran silently looked at the culprit who brought him the "suffocating feeling of oppression (physical)".

You gotta lie on my face?
It's still dark, in a quiet room,
The number on the clock just reached six o'clock, and I was woken up by my pet in various ways. This is the way that every pet owner cannot escape.

Fang Ran was in a daze, thinking back to the dream in which the world was on fire.
Have I done something similar before?
After using the [Sleeping Card], I no longer dream at night. Recalling last night's flying in the night sky, I forgot about my injuries in a high mood and could not help but run to the basement of the night bureau to practice the [Fire Card].
Thinking that this must be another unknown effect brought about by his ability, he shook his head and didn't take it too seriously.

At this time, I yawned in bed, then stretched my body, shaking off all the sleepiness I had just woken up. It took me a second to realize that this was not the bedroom of a luxury house.
Fang Ran looked relieved and jumped off the bed.

Then after a few minutes of simple washing, he closed his eyes and lay on the small table beside the bed.

After the welcome party in the cottage and the night party with the elders, the feeling of just coming back from outside disappeared.
Back to daily life again, officially starting the winter vacation life of lying down.

In the early morning when no one is awake yet, in the small house which is already on winter vacation, I enjoy the lazy feeling of doing nothing at the beginning of the day.
His whole body was slumped on the table like a ball of mud, but after lying there for a while,
Fang Ran suddenly felt a stirring in his body.

Hmm. I really want to do something.
The moment he realized this, Fang Ran was startled.

What's going on? I finally got back to my normal life, but after only two days of rest, I suddenly felt like doing something again.
Thinking of this, he immediately began to fight against the urge to act.
No, come on, my laziness, don't give in,

Will win!
Then three minutes later, he succumbed to his inner desires and stood up from his prone position with a melancholy look on his face.
Fang Ran sighed for a second, thinking of his own damn diligence.
But he quickly found an excuse for himself, just like lying there bored and wanting to check his phone, he just changed his way of doing things and continued to idle away at the small table.

After feeling at ease, I looked around the still dark room and thought about what I should do now.
Then, after thinking of one thing,
Fang Ran took out his phone and searched for keywords such as 'finance, stock market, economy, entry'. He raised his hand and activated [Create a Brand].
A book appeared out of thin air in his hands.

One of the biggest gains from my trip to North America was realizing the inadequacy of what I knew.

Finance, business, medical, economy, society, country.
The world is too big, he knows too little, he understands too little, and the lack of knowledge makes him lack a high enough vision and he doesn't know what choices to make.

At this moment, I opened the introductory textbook in front of me. After discovering my own shortcomings, what I want to do most is to make up for them. It's like taking the first tiny step.
Fang Ran started reading carefully from the first page and began to understand things that he had never understood before.

Just like what he said to Shui Linlang last night,
He will find the answers himself.

Time flows in the dark dial, not because of academic studies, but actively learning with one's own will always makes people more focused.

He turned the pages of the book one by one, and then he appeared from nowhere, woke Fang Ran up, and watched him sitting motionless in front of the small table.
The black cat ball jumped onto the small table.
It shook its big triangular ears and called out in a spirited voice:
“(≧▽≦*)la-nya!”

Then, like a ball of soft dough, it bounced happily and elastically, while rhythmically arching Fang Ran's arm.
"La meow~la meow~la meow~"

"You are a guy who only knows how to eat."

At this time, my attention was diverted from the book. Seeing it like this, I knew it wanted to eat again. Facing this cute and coquettish behavior, I felt helpless.
Fang Ran took out a dessert from the black box and produced a thin long spoon.

Feed the cute creature mouthful by mouthful, making it stay quiet beside the book.

The early morning hours slipped away quietly as the young man flipped through his books.

The light slowly changes on the pages of the book, the words on the paper light up, the remaining darkness of the night recedes, and the dazzling golden morning light shines into the cabin from the window.

Finally, it illuminated his quiet figure beside the small table.

The sun rises from the horizon, it is another bright day.
At this time, the sound of running water was heard. Meng Lang, who had just finished washing up, walked out of the room yawning. After seeing Fang Ran and the black cat ball by the small table, he was surprised at first, "Oh, brother didn't lie on the bed like a pile of mud today."
Then the next second, he saw something very eye-catching on the small table.

"What the hell! What are you feeding it!?"

The pure golden contents in the tall crystal cup were so dazzling in the sun that they were simply too dazzling.

At first glance, Meng Lang even thought it was a golden statue.

"It is said that a lot of expensive materials were airlifted in, and there was a lot of edible gold foil to make the golden sundae ice cream,"

"Brother, if you don't mind the aphrodisiac in it, you can try it."

After hearing him get up, Fang Ran still looked at the essence of economics in the first chapter. He scooped another spoonful of the golden sundae that he had stuffed into the black box because he thought it was too wasteful to throw it away.
Then, the cat was fed a black ball that was thought to be part of a game, and it ate it in one bite while jumping happily.

After hearing the first half of his sentence, I felt that my lowly brother had really been corrupted by the CEO's extravagant lifestyle. He even fed the cat gold and was ready to take a bite without hesitation.
But after hearing the second half of the sentence, Meng Lang, who was about to take action, looked at him in surprise:
"Fuck, feeding this stuff to a cat, bro, what kind of perverted hobby have you awakened!?"

It's not me who added the aphrodisiac.

And does it matter what you feed the guy who eats the Dark World Crystal as a snack?

Not knowing how to explain it to him, facing Meng Lang's insane look, Fang Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes speechlessly.

At this time, because the reason was too outrageous, I was very suspicious whether Fang Ran was just making up a story to prevent me from eating secretly. But on second thought, I felt that this might be a trap to lure me into eating by using the rebellious psychology.
But anyway, after some thought,
Meng Lang felt that there was no need to gamble with his precious innocence.

So he readily ignored the Golden Cat snacks on the small table and turned his attention to another point. He was surprised that Fang Ran didn't lie down like he did the past two days when he got up early in the morning, but was reading a book.
Meng Lang turned around, took a glass of water, looked at him and asked:
"By the way, brother, what are you reading? Some novel?"

“Principles of Economics.”

"puff!"

The moment he heard the answer, he choked on the water. Meng Lang then looked at him with a look of doubt:
"what??"

Principles of economics?
Am I getting angry?

I woke up early in the morning and saw my brother reading principles of economics?
Brother, has your condition worsened? After stopping driving, have you started studying economics?

For a moment, Meng Lang felt deeply suspicious of the bizarre facts before him.

"Captain, why did you suddenly want to read a book on economics?"

At this time, Gou Yu came out of the kitchen with three cups of coffee.
He woke up a little earlier than Meng Lang and noticed Fang Ran feeding the cat while reading a book, but he did not choose to disturb him at that time.

When he heard Gou Yu's question, he looked up from his book and took a cup of coffee.

Fang Ran replied calmly with a slight sigh of "It's just that I got up at six in the morning to read seriously, it's nothing."

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that after being a CEO, I deeply realized the insufficiency of my own knowledge reserves. I lack the understanding and vision of various things."

Then, having said this, he added helplessly, as if he had no other choice.

"And my relentless pursuit of becoming a better version of myself."

Damn, this guy is pretending again, right?
When he heard this answer, Meng Lang couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He was now certain that Fang Ran's condition must have worsened. This was the kind of disease that would kill one if he didn't act cool for a day.

At this moment, Fang Ran's pretentious face was really unbearable, but after being speechless for a second, he did not directly complain about it.

Meng Lang just showed a fake expression of deep agreement:

"I see, brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? When I first saw you reading, I thought you were preparing for a rainy day."

Then utter a word that can strike straight to someone's soul.

"I'm starting to review in advance for the make-up exams for next semester~"

Fangran: "."

Σ(Д╬)焯! Bro, what the hell are you talking about so early in the morning!

Oh, I didn't expect that some people would still be dissatisfied even if I told a joke. It seems that no matter what I say, some people will find fault with me. Forget it, let me talk about the plot of the previous extra-episode. The not-yet-old night watchman, with his young next generation, traveled in New York more than half a century ago. The two people with ancient style walked in the modern city of that era, witnessing the Great Depression in the United States and the changing times. Doesn't this plot feel very romantic, with a charm of time settling? PS: I was amazed when I was looking up information. In 1930, almost a hundred years ago, we were still in the old society of landlords, but New York was already a modern city. The Empire State Building, which is more than meters high, was almost completed, and there were even washing machines and vacuum cleaners.
