Chapter 23 Enjoying the Growth

In the independent information vault owned by Shen Shi, there was actually not much information about these 600 years. The reason was due to the lack of historical information. During that period, humans did not have the ability to record more details.

However, he was still deeply shocked.

Because all of this was real.

It was countless times more brutal than any cruel war in the history of mankind!

Just through the residual images, Shen Shi could feel the impact on his heart.

The mere empathy from being human was enough to make him extremely furious!

This kind of anger was far beyond the anger brought about by people like Han Guangchao.

In particular, when Shen Shi saw the huge “breeding farms” and the humans locked in cages of coffin size, he could not help but feel lingering fear.

Three years later, he would only be 25 years old.

However, if the Time Diamond had not appeared and there was no black market trading platform of the future, he would also be one of these humans.

No, he might be one of the 800 million people who had died in the war, or he might be directly made into batteries and sold, just like the black canisters in his warship.

In comparison, the ones who had been sacrificed might be the happiest.

Even after he had roughly understood the history of these 600 years, Shen Shi was still in a daze.

Fury and hostility would always subside.

But there were some things that would remain.

Even when Aixin’er called, Shen Shi had not regained his senses.

He answered the call in a daze.

“What’s wrong?” Aixin’er was very sharp.

“Nothing,” Shen Shi said subconsciously. Then, he slowly exhaled and rubbed the bridge of his nose. “I’ve been studying all night and have not recovered.” “That extreme?” Aixin’er seemed to be frightened, but she did not doubt Shen Shi’s words. She only said worriedly, “Although I don’t know how much pressure you’re under, there’s still a long way to go. Don’t overexert yourself.”

“Well, don’t worry. I couldn’t sleep last night.” Shen Shi shook his head and regained his senses. He looked at the time. “Are you calling me for lunch? But I may not have time now. I’ll be quite busy during this period of time.”

“Oh, alright, I’m just letting you know. I’m going back to school to practice the piano.” Aixin’er grunted twice, and then she could not help but fall silent.

Clearly, she had not called just about this.

Shen Shi could also tell.

“If you have something to say, just say it,” he said. “It’s not like you to dawdle.”

“You’re the one who’s dawdling,” Aixin’er retorted, but her voice kept becoming softer and softer. In the end, she even muttered, “I just want to ask what our relationship is now.”

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling guilty after staying in the presidential suite for a night?” Shen Shi could easily hear the meaning in her words, and his lips could not help but curve.

“You still have the cheek to say this!” Aixin’er’s voice became louder and she was a little angry. “I thought it would be a few thousand at most, but this is 40,000! Let me tell you, our relationship is at most a little ambiguous now. It’s not time for me to casually spend so much of your money!”

At 40,000 a night, the presidential suite was almost the peak in the country.

Aixin’er’s family background was not bad, otherwise, she would not have the means to learn the piano. However, she would at most have 10,000 yuan a month for living expenses. To use 40,000 yuan all at once on a hotel stay was indeed too luxurious for her.

Most importantly, she indeed had a very good impression of Shen Shi now, but the more this was the case, the more she did not want to spend Shen Shi’s money.

At the very least, she could not spend it casually and matter-of-factly!

They had not interacted much in the past four years. If she became like this when Shen Shi turned rich, what would he think?

“We used to be a little ambiguous.” Shen Shi did not mention money. He just teased, “I thought we were just friends.”

“Damn you! I’m serious!” Aixin’er was furious and said word by word, “If I, Aixin’er, wanted luxury, I would have had rich men deliver it to me. However, I have not done this in the past, let alone in the future. Therefore, I will return this 40,000 yuan to you. Don’t think I’m pretentious. I wouldn’t stand on ceremony with you on this if it had cost a few thousand yuan.”

“…” Shen Shi did not say a word.

Hearing the silence on the other end of the line, Aixin’er bit her lower lip and did not say anything

No matter how rational a woman was, she was just as sensitive when faced with someone she really cared about.

After a while, Shen Shi’s gentle voice could be heard from the phone.

“It’s my fault this time. Just take it that I’m suddenly rich and want to show off. However, there’s really no need to return the money. No matter what, we are still close friends. There’s no need to be so distant. If you really feel bad, give me a present later, one that is sincere.”

“Alright!” Only then did Aixin’er smile. “I guarantee you’ll be pleased!”

At the end of the day, what she cared about was not money.

“It’s settled then. I’ll ask you out for a meal and a movie some time later. You’re not allowed to refuse. You said so yourself last night.”

“…Alright.” Aixin’er blushed a little. She had obviously remembered what she had said last night and quickly hung up. She remained where she was for a while; her expressions were rich. For a while, she gritted her teeth, giggled foolishly, and was worried and conflicted.

It was as if she had fallen into it.

However, she did not know that Shen Shi had seen her current appearance.

With a thought, the nano observation device, transformed from a simulation transformation substance, became a part of the corner of Aixin’er’s blouse again.

“Just this once. I can’t use it like this again in the future,” Shen Shi muttered to himself, but he kept a smile on his face.

After shaking his head, he continued to look at the information in front of him.

To be honest, if it had been him yesterday, he would have run to look for Aixin’er by now. But now, this impulse had subsided a lot.

It was not that he did not want to, but he understood what was most important now.

The tragic future, which encompassed billions of people from the entire human race, unfolded in front of his eyes. In the face of such a huge and tragic proposition, his horizon, his understanding, and his frame of mind had actually grown rapidly without him knowing

Moreover, Shen Shi enjoyed this process of knowing nothing, and then gradually understanding and gradually mastering. He was even a little addicted.

His gaze landed again on the information before him.

The more he understood the misery of this fate, the more he understood that he had to grow!

In the ten days after this, he really did not leave the Vogt. He only called Aixin’er occasionally, and most of the time, it was Aixin’er who took the initiative to call. He had not watched a movie once, and he only had dinner twice.

It made Aixin’er doubt her charm.

She was even a little worried.

She wondered if she had been played with.

However, Aixin’er was the person on this planet who could sense, most intuitively, the changes in Shen Shi in the past ten days.
