The First Gospel Chapter 65: Willpower
Before she knew it, it was already afternoon. An Ling stretched. Her eyes were a little swollen from watching TV series for so long. She had watched all the series stored in the hard drive and felt bored after watching for so long.
But she really enjoyed the feeling of Gu Yun asking her questions from time to time.
"Now you understand, don't you? Being a wizard is not that easy."
After experiencing the Lucky Rabbit's Foot incident herself, An Ling no longer dared to speak so absolutely. Who knows if there really is a witch Freemasonry in some corner of this world?
But there is one thing she is sure of, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to become a wizard.
“It’s a bit troublesome indeed.”
Gu Yun showed a distressed expression. There was a big difference between the witchcraft he saw and the witchcraft he imagined - it was far from enough to just recite the spell. Every kind of witchcraft required corresponding ritual materials to complete, and he had never heard of most of these materials.
Moreover, the witchcraft shown in the drama is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to understand witchcraft in depth, you will probably have to take at least a dozen courses to get started.
"So just give up. I think you're pretty good at fighting. There's no need to study these things."
"It's too early to give up now, but you made me understand something."
"ah?"
"You can't really understand witchcraft by relying on these videos. You have to find a witchcraft expert."
"Forget it, as long as you are happy."
An Ling wanted to persuade Gu Yun, but she soon figured it out. If wizards really existed, they would never appear in front of people. Even if you spend your whole life trying, you may not be able to find them.
She felt that after Gu Yun had been looking for her for a while, he would automatically give up this idea.
But right now, there are things more urgent and important than finding a wizard.
18:36, finished watching drama all day.
hungry.
Compared to the illusory wizards and black magic, An Ling felt that filling her own stomach was more important.
"I have a difficult task for you." An Ling took out a 100-yuan bill from her wallet and handed it to Gu Yun. "There is a supermarket downstairs. Go buy some ingredients. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the seasoning. Call your sister over later."
Although it would be more romantic to go downstairs with Gu Yun to experience the gourmet food without being alone, her financial situation did not allow it. The 100 yuan could only allow two people to have one meal. If converted into food ingredients, it could at least solve her problem of food and clothing for two or three meals.
The advantage of being able to cook is now evident.
Delicious and cheap.
Of course, the most important thing is that An Ling realized a truth when getting along with Gu Yun - when cooking, you must never let this guy watch by the side, otherwise his outrageous words may lead to the tragedy of accidentally pouring half a bottle of salt into the pot again.
"good."
Gu Yun nodded, and before he knew it, it was already dinner time.
After going out and downstairs, Gu Yun went straight to the discount area of the supermarket.
During these ten years, Gu Yun has accumulated a lot of experience in selecting ingredients. How to buy ingredients that are sufficient and delicious under limited financial conditions is his main research topic.
The supermarket downstairs from Anling is similar to the one near his home. The main competitors in the discount area are the aunties in the community. Gu Yun has a natural affinity for the aunties. Although they look ordinary on the outside, they are all experienced discount warriors behind the scenes. They can spend more than ten minutes carefully selecting a box of meat.
When he first arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, Gu Yun asked them for a lot of advice.
In all aspects, including some valuable experiences in life.
For example——
"Hello, big sister."
Gu Yun greeted him as he passed by.
When addressing people, you should call them "big sister" instead of "auntie".
Hearing this, the aunt who was selecting beef was immediately delighted. "Hey, this young man is great. He has such a good financial sense at such a young age."
…
This lady seems to be a little too enthusiastic.
In fact, Gu Yun just casually said hello to show his friendliness, but he didn't expect that the elder sister would volunteer to be a guide, taking him around the discount area and helping him plan at least three most cost-effective usage plans for 100 yuan.
Gu Yun could only sigh that there are always people better than you.
The only thing is buying things, the aunties and grandmas are always one step ahead of him, and he gains something from every conversation.
"Hey, when will my children learn to save money like you? They turn on the air conditioner every time it gets cold, and they keep it on all night. If they keep doing this, they will get air-conditioning disease sooner or later."
Both of them pushed a cart full of food ingredients, ranging from meat to boxed vegetables. The eldest sister even gave Gu Yun a flyer for a buy-one-get-one-free promotion.
"It's actually totally unnecessary. Over-reliance on air conditioning will make your body weaker and weaker."
This was not simply to agree with the elder sister. Gu Yun was a person who did not need air conditioning. Not only did he not use air conditioning, he also never needed electric fans, heaters, or electric blankets. He believed that a favorable environment would lead to a decline in body functions, and that the winter and summer in this world were much milder than the world he originally lived in.
"Can you bear it without the air conditioner?"
"Sister, people's ability to adapt is much stronger than you think. It will be uncomfortable at first, but as long as you persist for a period of time, you will be able to fully adapt - no matter how harsh the environment is."
"It's not that exaggerated. I'm not worried about the money, but I saw on the news that staying in an air-conditioned room for too long is not good for you."
In fact, I just feel sorry for the money, but how can I say this directly?
"It's not about money, it's about cultivating willpower." Gu Yun said. Although he was not as good as this elder sister in buying meat and vegetables, he was an expert when it came to cultivation. "As long as you have a strong willpower, you will benefit from everything you do."
"That's the truth."
This sentence seemed to touch the heart of the other person. "Hey, think about it, our generation didn't have air conditioning back then. We had to get up early and go to bed late to make a living. After a busy day, we would fall asleep as soon as we got home. We didn't have the energy to care about the temperature. I would say that young people nowadays just can't endure hardship."
"Yes, this is a typical example of how a favorable environment can lead to a decline in willpower."
For a moment, Gu Yun also thought of his younger sister who complained of being tired and wanted to quit after exercising for a while, and he immediately found common ground with his elder sister.
"I think you're absolutely right! What's your name, young man?"
"Gu Yun."
"Okay, Xiao Gu, I've taken your advice. When I got home today, I confiscated his air conditioner remote control. It's only a certain month now, why would he turn on the air conditioner?"
"That's great. I believe he will become stronger."
Before he finished his words, a loud thunder split the sky.
Within seconds, heavy rain poured down.
