Overgod Ascension - 723. Chapter 723 Old Friends (3600 plus)

Yinchao City.

Early in the morning, Vidi got up from the bed, and the enticing smell of food was already coming from the living room.

The toast has a browned crust and steaming steam, next to it are two slices of bacon that are properly fried, and a slice of poached egg.

The hot fresh milk in the glass jar makes people move their index fingers at the first glance.

“Master, today’s newspaper!”

Widi sat in the position, and the maid took the initiative to wrap him up with a napkin.

On a table next to him, his butler put down the iron and delivered the ironed newspaper.

In this era, civilian technology and military technology, and even royal technology, are completely two concepts. Although the latter two have reached the stage of transistors and display screens, in the private sector, printing inks are generally not good enough, and there is a kind of crude and shoddy taste. Especially the newly printed newspapers will be stained with a layer of ink as soon as they are touched.

Ordinary newspapers cannot afford high-end technology because of cost issues.

Therefore, in families in the real upper class, there are people who are responsible for ironing newspapers delivered every morning. Normally, this is the job of a housekeeper.

“Um!”

Widi took the warm newspaper, and after ironing it, the ink on it was completely dry, exuding a delicate fragrance, and it didn’t even touch his hands.

“Science Quest magazine closed down?”

He drank milk, ate bacon with bread, and read the newspaper again. He was a little surprised and made sense again.

“There have been so many supernatural events in the kingdom, and the other party can’t even explain it. Angry readers have long wanted it to explain it…”

Vidi turned over the second page of the newspaper, and an eye-catching headline suddenly appeared-“Exploring the Siberian Forest, found traces of mysterious werewolves!” ‘

“Okay! Werewolves have been discovered again, what’s wrong with this world?”

Vidi rolled his eyes and complained.

In his life, elementary school and junior high school were not the slightest difference. Since his graduation trip, he returned to break through his parents’ obstruction, insisted on choosing the path he wanted, and went quite well. Now he is a sound nest. A small well-known businessman in the city.

It’s just that he hasn’t changed much, but the world has become more and more unfamiliar to him.

“Enrollment for the supernatural class?”

“Lectures by masters of occultism!”

“Lecture by Henry the Great Adventurer?”

…

There are many advertisements and recruitment information in the newspaper’s sub-page. Vidi just glanced at it and shook his head: “Since the werewolves appeared, there have been more and more scammers under the banner of supernatural powers in the kingdom. If you want to experience superpowers, you might as well go directly to redeem the church, at least those magic arts must be true!”

Thinking of the Church of Redemption and Pope Steven, Vidi couldn’t help showing a smile on his face.

Being able to make a friend like this is simply his greatest achievement in his life.

He even suspected that if it were not for this level of halo influence, his career in Yinchao City would not be so smooth.

“My housekeeper, is there anything else I missed in my schedule today?”

After eating and drinking, Vidy wiped his mouth with a clean white napkin, chewed on a mint, and asked leisurely.

“According to yesterday’s itinerary, you should arrive at the company at nine o’clock in the morning, the host. The driver is already waiting outside… Also, the lady came to look for you and left you a message!”

“Oh? What’s the matter?”

A look of helplessness appeared on Vidi’s face: “If you want me to sign up for some weird cram school and meet an important person in college admissions, then you don’t need to tell me.”

“Actually, neither!”

The butler’s expression is very strange: “Madam asked me to tell you that she has already prepared a marriage for you. I hope you will meet your fiancee this evening!”

“Wait a minute!”

Vidy’s eyes widened immediately: “Get married? Fiancee? Oh my god… what age do those old-fashioned couple think it is now? Isn’t this kind of parent-decided marriage long overdue to be swept into the garbage dump of history?”

“In fact, neither the master nor the wife think so!”

His butler said in a regretful tone: “As your personal butler, I also suggest that you meet this Miss Lilith, who is from a famous family in the kingdom!”

“Alright alright……”

Vidi sighed: “Unexpectedly, even if you move out, you still can’t escape the clutches of the family… But in order to prevent them from running here and roaring… Tell her, I will go!”

Jingle Bell!

At this moment, on the small round table in the living room, a telephone with a golden microphone and a ringing bell suddenly rang.

“Master, look for your phone, the other party claims to be your old classmate!”

After the steward took it, he immediately handed the microphone to Vidi.

“I have a lot of classmates. Since the establishment of my trading company, I can see a few acquaintances when I go out…”

Vidi muttered dissatisfiedly, took the microphone, and immediately heard a very surprised voice in his ear: “Hi! Vidi, this is Steven, do you have time to get together? Call someone else! ”

“Yes, of course!”

Vidi jumped up almost immediately: “Where are you? I’ll pass right away?”

“No hurry, I will take an airship and arrive in Yinchao City this evening, with one night’s free time.”

The opposite Wu Ming said.

“I know, I will pick you up myself when that time comes!”

Vidi took a deep breath, put down the microphone, and immediately said loudly: “Butler, immediately go to the best hotel in the city, book a good private room and have a banquet.”

“Also, what kind of wedding meeting, reschedule!”

Vidi made the decision happily, and the butler raised his brows in surprise, but he rarely saw the master’s brows flying.

“I’m going to start preparing now, and I have to make a few more calls. Neville and Philip are definitely going to call, and Alice… Well… I heard that she has had a bad time recently…”

…

At the same moment, inside a research institute in Yinchao City.

“Alice, what’s the matter with you? Why are there errors in even the simplest parameter records?!”

Alice was wearing the workman’s uniform that must be worn in the workshop. She still had a lot of oil on her body, and she apologized: “I’m sorry, Director, I will pay attention next time!”

“Want to have another time?”

The owner’s chubby face was full of anger at this time: “Alice, do you know what the environment is now? The conditions of the various institutes are not good, and our institute is also preparing to lay off staff…”

Alice’s face suddenly turned pale.

This is also true. The powers are now in the world, and these basic scientific research institutions have the greatest influence. Unless they happen to be studying the supernatural ability, they will generally be questioned.

“Society is getting more and more uncomfortable now. Even the elites from the university can see our small research institute. I received ten resumes this week…”

Hearing the director’s scolding, Alice’s head lowered.

It was the regret of her life that she hadn’t been admitted to university that year. Although she studied harder in these years, she had to work very hard every day. She had to participate in various training courses at night, and the cost was often not worth the gain.

In fact, there are no easier roads.

That is to give up your dreams and get married and have children honestly.

Her mother had already identified several candidates for her, and they all looked good.

But I don’t know why, Alice just doesn’t want to.

‘How can my youth be spent on these things like this…’

Alice gritted her teeth secretly, but on the surface, she still had to apologize.

After being scolded by the director, taking on more punitive work, and being deducted another day’s salary, Alice finally walked out of the research institute, feeling as if she had come down from the battlefield.

Bar Bar!

At this moment, on the side of the road, the sound of the airbag horn suddenly sounded.

“Hi, beauty, do you want a ride?”

A casually dressed guy who looked like a rich second-generation opened the door of the steam car and bowed slightly: “I also include a free dinner here!”

“Vidi, you fellow!”

Looking at this old classmate, Alice finally gave a relaxed smile.

The other party and her had the same illness for the first half of their lives. They were both academically inadequate, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t keep up with the fellows who were learning masters and learning gods.

It’s just that Vidi is very lucky, the family conditions are much better than her, and he has more courage, and resolutely started his own path.

“Aren’t you going to the company today?”

Alice asked strangely.

“Get in the car first!”

Vidi asked Alice in the car without any explanation, and then confessed: “A few of our old classmates are going to get together, I also called Inspector Philip and Neville…”

“Philip also graduated successfully and was assigned to be a police inspector here!”

Alice sighed faintly, and suddenly reacted: “No…Why are you partying all of a sudden?”

“This is naturally because he is here!”

Vidi sighed: “Alice, I know you are very strong and do not want to accept our help, but you must know that in this highly competitive society, you need to use all your resources as a bargaining chip on the gaming table, otherwise, you How to defeat those who are better off than you and who work harder than you?”

“I know, I know everything…”

Alice murmured, the feeling in her heart was really complicated.

And all of this suddenly intensified to the peak when I got off the car and came to the box of the largest hotel in the city center.

“I’m not suitable for here, let’s go!”

She looked at the magnificent decoration and the extremely simple and white work clothes on her body. Suddenly, an inferiority complex appeared.

“Since I’m here, why are you leaving? See you old friends first!”

With sharp eyes, Vidy saw a figure, and immediately shouted: “Navi, here! Here!!”
