Chapter 978 The Secrets of the Realms (Please refresh)

The setting sun cast an orange glow, stretching the shadows of the buildings in the distance into long streaks.

Xiao Sulin looked at the creased copy of "Zhiyin Manke" in her hand, which she had just bought not long ago, with some confusion. But she didn't have time to feel sorry for it. After regaining her senses, she quickly quickened her pace and hurried home.

For some reason, I had the illusion that I had been away from home for a long time today, which made me feel inexplicably anxious.

Although I have piano lessons as an excuse, I might get a scolding if I go home too late.

My mother was just following the crowd. She saw a piano prince named Lang Lang on TV and heard people say that playing the piano well meant a bright future, so she made him start practicing the piano during the summer after he graduated from elementary school, to the point that he couldn't play with his classmates.

That's not all; a semester of piano lessons costs a lot of money, which is a huge burden for an average family.
While Su Lin was inwardly complaining, she didn't realize that she had become much more sensitive to numbers. After weighing her family income against her own hobbies, she suddenly felt that it wasn't worth it.

He glanced at the trash can not far away and vaguely remembered that he could only earn one cent for picking up a plastic bottle. How many bottles would he have to pick up to pay for tutoring?

"If you don't like studying, go pick up trash!" The words of hardship education rang in my ears once again.

Xiao Sulin frowned. Just then, he passed by the entrance of the train station. He looked up and glanced at the old clock next to the 'Dynamic Zone' advertisement. Finding that he still had plenty of time, he slowed down.

For some reason, Xiao Sulin, who was usually uninterested in trains, glanced at them a few more times today. Before long, he looked at the setting sun.

Suddenly the world became soft and warm, as if all the troubles were melted away by the orange-gold light.

Forget it
So what if I'm picking up trash? As long as I don't starve.

Suddenly enlightened and feeling a sense of vastness, Xiao Sulin turned and walked towards the video store near her neighborhood. She originally wanted to rent pirated anime VCDs and DVDs, but when she passed by the bookstore next door, she saw the comics from previous issues that she hadn't bought.

I feel like I can't keep going and I'm thinking of giving up practicing the piano. But I've saved my family so much money, so I guess I should reward myself a little.
He glanced at the thirty or so yuan he had for breakfast in his pocket, thinking that exchanging comics with his classmates might be more cost-effective, but before he knew it, his gaze had fallen on the bookshelf.

There was a black and white comic book with cool lines on it, titled "Dragon Raja II: The Eyes of the Mourners".

What?! This thick comic book is only 29.8?!
But I haven't even seen the first one. Maybe I should check out Dragon Raja, it's a lot of content.

"Is this comic really only 29.8?"

"Hmm, it's a great deal and they even give away a poster. This is the only one I'll take."

The boss was a bald man who, upon seeing Xiao Sulin pick up the "comic book," immediately began to speak.

"Then I'll buy it."

"If you don't have change, go to the door and grab a cheap game disc. Don't let your mom know."

In those days, a bowl of noodles only cost three to five yuan, and steamed buns and dumplings were even cheaper.

The bald boss, who was both a neighbor and a friend, had cheated Xiao Sulin out of two weeks' worth of breakfast money by misrepresenting an expensive novel as a comic book. All he could do was compensate him with a pirated game disc.

If the incident comes to light, the child probably won't tell his parents.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!"

Look, he even thanked us.

How come this child has grown a head taller in just a few days?
"With such good nutrition, skipping a few meals won't hurt." The bald boss felt even more at ease.

At the same time, he patted his son's head, pointed at Xiao Sulin's back, and said earnestly, "You're in high school now, don't be like that kid from the other side of the street, Xiao Su. If you don't study hard, you won't even be able to find a wife in the future!"

"Dome"

"Uh, sorry, I was thinking about something."

Su Lin came to his senses and flipped through his childhood memories, trying to see if there were any differences. However, no matter how many times he looked through them, he couldn't detect any changes, whether before or after his rebirth.

It's just a pity about Uncle Wang and Brother Wang next door.

Su Lin recalled the changes she saw in the stairwell every time she came home, and how none of the blind dates her mother and the other aunties in the neighborhood introduced to others were reliable.

The last few times, there were double happiness symbols hanging at the door and a four-wheeled bicycle parked there. But it turned out that the woman's child was born to her ex-boyfriend. When the son and daughter-in-law divorced and divided the property, half of their family's wealth accumulated over the years was taken away.

The last time I went back, the entrance was deserted.
Uncle Wang and his family are such good people.

Although selling a novel to oneself as a comic book is a bit shady, it did generate a lot of income for one's youth.

Until that slightly melancholic fantasy novel was confiscated, Su Lin earned quite a bit by lending it out in class for five cents a day, and could even use the money to buy the next novel.

However, this path did not last long, because someone in the school was caught reading "Qin Di" by the principal and was punished, which led to the physical novel being placed under strict investigation and crackdown.
Of course, this kind of thing is not something to be encouraged. It was precisely because he was so engrossed in novels at the age when he should have been studying that he didn't even notice his classmate Xiaohong's frequent invitations to learn about knowledge for free from Xinhua Bookstore.

If I had spent my free time studying at Xinhua Bookstore every day, my high school grades might have been better.

"Sigh, novels, anime, visual novels, online games, internet cafes, TV dramas, movies, cell phones, computers... they've ruined me." Su Lin sighed, turning to ask:

"What were you trying to say?"

"Here are these trash bags for you." Xing gave a thumbs up and said, "I found some hot trash cans, let's have a party tonight."

Su Lin smiled upon hearing this: "I hate trash and trash cans."

"?" Xing's pupils dilated, his gaze froze, and his body turned to stone.

After a while.
Su Lin walked ahead with a dark expression and heavy steps.

"I don't remember raising you like this!" Xing cried, her hands gripping Su Lin's clothes tightly around her waist. She was practically being dragged along the ground by his strength.

"Give me back my adorable little brother, you ageless baseball-loving monster, Kagami Gin!"

"Putting aside the fact that I am older than you, and also the fact that you took advantage of me, if it weren't for my firm belief in the Dao, I would have been led astray by you."

Su Lin held the Primordial Cake in one hand and tried to pull the Star Core Essence that had started climbing up his body off with the other.

"You've changed! When we were little, you clearly said you loved your older sister the most, and that you would give her all the golden trash bags in the universe when you grew up!"

"What the hell?! Who said such a thing?! Don't arbitrarily activate the Book of History, let go."

"Please bring my adorable little brother back!"

"Do you think my race is the Star Core Spirit?!"

Originally wanting to reminisce about her happy childhood with Pam, Su Lin had no choice but to turn her attention to the others who were sighing and complaining.

“Uncle Zhou.” Su Lin’s smile gradually turned sinister.

"What does your seeking out Zhou Mingrui have to do with me, Gehrman Sparrow?" Klein retorted expressionlessly.

“The ‘older brothers and sisters’ over there.” Su Lin emphasized the pronunciation of these words.

Upon hearing this, sighs of relief filled the air.

As if lamenting the cruelty of time, Su Lin, the once youthful boy, has now become a seasoned veteran. They all expressed their regret as if talking about the innocence of a relative's child's childhood.

"Hey, believe it or not, I'll kill you all."

"You have so many good older sisters," Elaina chuckled teasingly, tilting her chin up. "So you've been admiring priestesses since you were little. Witches are just a substitute, right? What's that saying again? I'll always love..."

"I will always love Elena."

"hehe."

"Besides lolis, shota's shelf life is just as short," Kaguya lamented. "Does that child even appreciate the beauty of long, straight black hair?"

Reimu nodded: "Perhaps, otherwise why would she choose my little notebook for the first time when selecting side dishes?"

"?"

It was definitely a mistake to switch back.

Su Lin suddenly felt that even if the person accompanying her was a costumed character named Wuwu, it would be fine. If all else failed, she could change her name to Mary Sue and accompany her obedient female disciple "Wu·Angelina·Sakura Snow Feather Spirit·Blood Beauty·Charm·J·Q·Antalya·Shangmeng Xunmei·Hathaway·Rose Rose Tears·Feather Spirit·Wu" to love and fight each other at the end of time in that dilapidated immortal sect.

I really envy that bastard Sutoni. Although he's a traitor to the Su Lin clan, he still managed to achieve the Su Lin clan's lifelong ideal.
In fact, if that Wuwu had no connection with the Emperor of the Universe, Su Lin would have liked to add a setting for him: "Not for becoming an immortal, but only to wait for your return in all the heavens."

Su Lin avoided their gaze, pulled the raging raccoon off its back, and handed it to them: "Danheng, March Wife, please take this for me."

"Don't think I can't tell you're taking advantage of me." March 7th asked, rubbing her forehead, "How did this well-behaved child who was calling me 'sister' just an hour ago turn into this?"

“It’s quite normal for there to be differences between the Small Black Tower and the Big Black Tower, just as it’s quite normal for there to be differences between the Mr. Light,” Su Lin said.

Moreover, Little Deng will become Old Deng, the retirement age will increase, the little girl will become a middle-aged woman, and Island Island's mother doesn't have a million in her pocket either. There are too many helpless things in life that happen in a very natural way. You never know which will come first, tomorrow or overtime.

So it's normal for things to change a bit after all these years.

On March 7th, he received the star with a sigh.

Having finally freed his hand, Su Lin was able to retrieve the bank card from the subspace vault. He flicked the hollowed-out mark in the middle to make it flip repeatedly, opening his private collection room.

“Strange,” Klein said, puzzled.

Lu Mingfei said weakly, "Shut up."

"What I meant was that the protective power has already taken effect. Su Lin from his childhood should have forgotten what happened before, and those negative effects shouldn't have caused a time loop, right?"

"You are the King of Time and Space, so you call the shots." Lu Mingfei simply gave up.

Seeing this, Huai Shi couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou, it really didn't cause any problems. Didn't Jesus Christ hate trash?"

Judging from the fact that he's been playing background music around him lately, Xiao Sulin is keen on rummaging through trash cans and collecting garbage, to the point that Huai Shi is a little worried that Sulin might turn into a rancher who eats anything and everything.

As for why it has still become the current "God of Fun"...
From the perspective of abyssal evolution, mutational evolution is also a research area that scholars have to explore.

"Speaking of which, what kind of cheat is that?" Huai Shi pointed at the door of the subspace vault, quite curious.

"Since you've asked so sincerely..."

"What the hell?!"

He was so startled when he saw Su Lin appear behind him as if by teleportation, put his arm around his shoulder, and walk towards the vault door.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Huai Shi. I saw how curious you were, so I'll show you around my private collection." Su Lin said with a boastful tone.

But why is it that you still call me "sister" when it comes to me alone?
Completely bewildered, Huai Shi was half-pushed and half-forced inside. What she saw was a variety of currencies and strange items floating on display stands, each about two meters apart.

Huai Shi understood why Su Lin was being unusually enthusiastic.

Just like a film modeler, tokusatsu enthusiast, or wealthy car lover who lives a secluded life, when interviewed by a TV station, they can't help but show off their life's achievements.
Huai Shi's gaze lingered on the currencies such as US dollars, Mora, gold, sharp arrows, spirit stones, divine resources, and gold pounds for a while, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Then, he slowly looked from the currency zones of various worlds to other locations.

Potions with twenty-two pathways plus the Light God pathway, cards and transformation devices formed from suppressed extraordinary characteristics, and bottles inscribed with [Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun] and [God] respectively (best combination).
"We have recently added some new reserves."

As Su Lin spoke, he poured out some Stigmata and Philosopher's Stones with great enthusiasm: "I plan to turn these into memory files, and when I have time, I'll go find some remains of the old Gaia."

Gaia was made into Gaia Memory, right?
Can I borrow your things if I call you godfather?
Huai Shi stared longingly at the holy marks, then suddenly asked, "When did you get your hands on these holy marks?"

"It came from the defeated," Su Lin said matter-of-factly.
"I'm very busy. Since I dared to launch this [battle], how can I not charge an admission fee? Otherwise, how many coins has the Continuing Academy given me?"

Fine
Huai Shi was dumbfounded, saying that they were all big shots and he couldn't afford to offend them.
"There are more magical treasures here than I set up in the Thousand Machine Hall," Jiang Mingzi said curiously, followed closely by the others.

"I saw him open it before when we were in Gensokyo. I didn't expect there to be so many more random things now." Meng Qi clicked his tongue.

"I wish Amon could come and steal something." Klein picked up a discarded gold pound and stuffed it into his pocket, then looked at the monocle and Amon's hat in the display case.

The others, who had never seen this vault before, stared blankly at the enormous space.

Talismans, elixirs, and ritual implements for those progressing from the Qi Refining stage to the Mahayana stage.

A fighting technique of the Yellow Profound Earth Heaven level.

Martial arts manuals, external mecha suits, Iron Man armor, limited edition magic weapon set from the Shrouding the Heavens Merchant Guild, and Ye Fan's Mercedes-Benz car key.
"Why are your Mercedes car keys here too?" Xiao Yan's eyes twitched.

“If he’s willing to pay with spirit stones, I’d be crazy not to sell,” Ye Fan said.

There's also the blood-dripping dagger that stabbed the Great Master of Fate, ashes, elemental materials, a bowl, a nine-ringed staff, a brocade cassock, the sword of discord, the King's Treasury, a scabbard, dragon blood, the unfinished white elephant spirit, the feathers of the Golden-Winged Roc, and the right arm of the Hero King.
Shi Hao scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "Why are you collecting all this trash?"

"?" Su Lin was stunned. He turned his head, his expression shifting from excitement to calm to anger. He said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean 'trash'?! These are the secret treasures I collected from all realms!"

Also known as God's Treasure, the Vast Treasury of Heaven, and the Secret Realm of Heaven.

　I was tricked into buying a copy of "Dragon 2" while buying comics, and a certain novel was reported as prohibited reading throughout the school—these are my true experiences.
