Chapter 2 History
Chapter 2 History
Putting aside the matter of becoming an apprentice, Liang Junjie and Huo Chuyu returned to the real world. He found that his clothes had automatically changed into a water cloak, and he wore it in a way similar to a woman's strapless long dress.
Fortunately, he didn't tan his skin recklessly in order to do the cosplay, and he also pays attention to his body care, so he doesn't have any pimples on his shoulders.
Liang Junjie first randomly picked up a coat from a makeup artist at the event and wore it to cover up some parts of his body before leaving the convention with Huo Chuyu.
"Senior, may I ask which year you went into seclusion? I'd like to tell you about the historical events that happened there."
The two sat down facing each other in a milk tea shop. After ordering two cups of hot milk tea, Liang Junjie handed them to Huo Chuyu, took out his phone, and waited for the woman's reply before searching for historical events.
"Is this a mobile phone? Has it developed to this extent? I remember that it used to be a button phone." Huo Chuyu asked curiously. Then she cast a small spell, and a brand new mobile phone from a nearby mobile phone store appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Liang Junjie stared wide-eyed at the phone in Huo Chuyu's hand.
"No matter how many times I watch it, I still think you are amazing."
Before arriving at this milk tea shop, Liang Junjie had seen Huo Chuyu conjure up various gadgets out of thin air in front of him at least ten times. These gadgets included watches, bags, kebabs, newspapers, modern women's clothes, and so on.
"Oh, these are just some minor spells. If you become my apprentice, I can teach you anytime. By the way, before I went into seclusion, it was around 2000, I think it was called the Millennium? That should be it."
Upon hearing the words "millennium," Liang Junjie frowned. He didn't know much about it, having only been born after the millennium. However, he did know quite a bit about the decade following the millennium.
"Senior, please drink slowly, let me explain in detail~"
Liang Junjie recounts how two business tycoons surnamed Ma stirred up trouble in the world and how the country achieved technological leaps forward.
"By the way, in 19, the world almost went to the brink of collapse. The virus outbreak was very severe at that time. Fortunately, people all over the world worked together to survive and averted a catastrophe."
Upon hearing this, Huo Chuyu frowned. Six years ago, during a brief period of seclusion, she sensed the chaos in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, perhaps because the human race was undergoing a test, a catastrophe.
"Alright, I understand. You don't need to continue. Teach me how to use this smartphone," Huo Chuyu said, shaking her phone.
Liang Junjie was naturally happy to teach him; after all, who wouldn't like a mobile phone?
(If you don't like it, what's your opinion on my novel?)
"Senior, this is dialer, this is camera, this is image, this is chat software, this is payment software. It means you can pay money without paper money, just using software."
Liang Junjie's tireless voice rang out in the milk tea shop. Fortunately, the milk tea shop didn't have much business today, otherwise he would have been surrounded by a group of people.
Huo Chuyu learns very quickly and can play it in no time.
"Not bad, not bad. But this stuff is addictive; it can ruin your life." Huo Chuyu pointed to Liang Junjie's eyes.
Liang Junjie was embarrassed by the criticism, since his eyesight had deteriorated due to playing mobile games.
"Our ancestors developed nearsightedness from reading and writing, but you, you've gotten nearsighted from playing on your phone." Huo Chuyu tapped Liang Junjie's head, and a stream of magic flowed into Liang Junjie's body, directly expelling some toxins and helping to restore the activity of his eyeballs. After his eyeballs were relaxed, his vision began to correct itself.
At that moment, Liang Junjie felt a little dizzy. He quickly took off his glasses, and the dizziness disappeared. The previously blurry world gradually became clear.
"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!" Liang Junjie was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He had always regretted not controlling himself when he was young, secretly playing games on his father's phone at night, which caused his eyesight to deteriorate. Now that Huo Chuyu had given him such a great opportunity, he didn't know how to repay her.
"You're welcome. Consider this a reward for the historical events you just recounted to me."
Huo Chuyu smiled and said, then took a sip of milk tea and ate a piece of taro paste.
"The wisdom of mortals is truly unimaginable. Not only has technology soared, but even life has been improved so much that plants that were originally inedible have been transformed into this delicious little thing."
Huo Chuyu commented.
"Senior, this is called taro paste, it is..." Liang Junjie explained the general method of making taro paste.
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the sky gradually darkened.
Liang Junjie pointed to the dark sky, indicating that he was leaving.
"Senior, it's getting late, I need to go home, otherwise I'll miss the subway."
Huo Chuyu shook her head.
"Let me take you home. Oh, and there's a navigation app on my phone. Navigate to your house, and I'll fly you home on my sword."
When he heard Huo Chuyu say that she would take him home by flying on her sword, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Great! Great! I've always dreamed of flying on a sword like the protagonists in TV dramas and novels!"
After hearing Liang Junjie's heartfelt words, Huo Chuyu summoned her Fire Umbrella Sword and cast an invisibility spell on herself and Liang Junjie.
As for the Fire Umbrella Sword, since it is a spiritual treasure, ordinary mortals cannot see it at all. Only some mortals with spiritual roots can vaguely see it.
Liang Junjie was one of the mortals with spiritual roots who was able to see the Fire Umbrella Sword.
"Jump up."
Huo Chuyu placed the Fire Umbrella Sword very low, and Liang Junjie lightly leaped onto Huo Chuyu's flying sword.
The flying sword slowly ascended into the air, and the milk tea shop grew smaller and smaller until it was the size of a toy. Only then did Liang Junjie turn his gaze away.
When Liang Junjie flew for the first time, he didn't feel scared. Instead, he felt very excited. His palms started to sweat, and his slippers were already soaked through.
The flying sword moved very slowly, about the same speed as the electric bikes you usually see on the road. Flying high in the sky, he felt the cold wind on his face, but Liang Junjie felt that the wind only made his face cooler, while his body was very warm.
He patted the water vapor on his body, which was now emitting a blue fluorescent light, warming his body and his thoughts about Huo Chuyu's words about taking on a disciple.
"Senior, I agree. I want to be your apprentice!"
