Chapter 22: After the draft


Ride my beloved little motorcycle ~~
......
The second day of the draft.
The wind and the sun are beautiful.
Shentong rarely relaxes himself for a day.
Riding the old Shenla-style motorcycle, shuttle through the streets of the city.
Last night, Shen Qing broke into Shentong's bedroom and forcibly took Shentong's walkman away.
"Boy, you are about to get an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Don't worry about this little thing with your sister."
Finished talking and went away.
Shentong leaned tightly on his pillow, afraid to say anything ...
Strictly speaking, Shen Qing took the first hard disk mp3, not a real walkman.
This mp3 named "NoMadJukebox" resembles the popular walkman in the future and uses Fujitsu's 6.4GB 2.5-inch hard disk as the storage medium.
Although the volume is much larger than the mp3 that was just emerging at the time, and even larger than the CD Walkman, but it created a precedent for hard disk mp3.
Was also a landmark music player in that era.
And it's pretty cool.
But for Shentong who "traversed the future", there are obviously more choices.
......
At the beginning of May, overwhelming apple advertisements appeared.
Apple began to open retail stores nationwide.
3 or 4 streets away from where Shentong lived, just opened a house.
Stopped the motorcycle and Shentong walked into the Apple store.
Is a little bit different from the impression.
But Shentong soon relieved, after all, it is now 2001, not 2019.
Shentong shook his head while looking at various "old" apples.
Turned the salesperson's face green.
At the time, Apple was a symbol of coolness and popularity.
No one has shown such a disgusted expression after entering the store.
Shentong is the first.
......
"what?"
Shentong seems to have discovered the New World.
"Ipod ?!"
Some accidents.
In the last space-time, Shentong remembered that the ipod was officially launched in October 2001, but did not expect to be in this space-time, nearly four months in advance.
Although it is still an
old model
, the ipod born in the first generation has created a precedent for elegant hardware and solved the problem of music payment.
At that time, the entire music industry in the United States was hit by the emerging music Internet company Napster.
This young company founded by Sean Parker, which focuses on the concept of "music server", anyone can download mp3 songs on the Napster software, and the downloaded music can also be shared music for others to download.
The emergence of this software has made music sharing very easy, but it has also led to the proliferation of mass infringements by the audiovisual community.
In the American movie "Social Network", there is a play about Napster founder Sean Parker.
However, the most impressive thing is not Sean Parker, but a small part of the play. When Sean Parker played, he was praised by the good female college student Amy who played the trombone.
Ok...
......
Take out the prototype, Shentong does not need the help of a salesperson, and starts to operate directly.
Skilled movements, as if Shentong is not a customer, but the creator of this machine.
"Not bad, although the style is older, it is much better than other mp3 players."
The salesperson's face was green again.
When checking out, Shentong said casually.
"Hey, did you know? Now the notebook is really penetrating, whether it is weight or hinge, it is time to improve."
Holding the newly purchased ipod, Shentong opened the door with satisfaction.
Looking at Shen Tong's departure, the saleswoman hesitated to pick up the phone and dialed the head office number.
"This is the case, there was a strange young man ..."
......
Went home, Shen Qing was sitting on the sofa, shaking his head with the robbed NoMadJukebox headphones.
In front of there were tarot cards.
Fortune-telling with tarot cards is one of Shen Qing's hobbies.
Seeing Shentong back, Shen Qing quickly waved to his brother.
Shentong silently stuffed the newly purchased ipod into the inner pocket of the clothes.
Shen Qing, who took off the headphones, said: "Boy, this player is not bad, in order to thank you for your generosity ..."
Generosity?
Is clearly a win.
If it is not to prevent the things under the pillow from being turned over.
Shentong must vow to resist.
......
"I will help you account for free."
"Thanks, no need."
"Oh, it's rare that I recently felt connected to the Tarot cards, so let me try it."
Shentong put the backpack down and sat next to the application.
"Can someone count?"
"of course."
Shentong thought about it.
"Even Gilbert Arenas, that guy has been out of luck recently. I want to see if there are any good suggestions for him."
"No problem!" Shen Qing excitedly picked up the tarot cards and shuffled the cards again.
"Birthday." Shen Qing asked.
"Ah ... I think about it ... January 6, 1982, it should be right."
Arenas' draft application form was filled out by Shentong.
Shen Qing placed the Tarot card on her chest, closed her eyes, swayed her long lashes slightly, and said something in her mouth.
Has something to do with it.
After the ceremony, Shen Qing took out a few cards and tiled them in front of them in a certain order.
With the cards being opened, Shen Qing began to translate one by one.
"Gilbert has the typical character of Capricorn, patience, restraint and stability."
"Do things hard and pragmatically, step by step, steady and steady."
"Has a deceptively peaceful and low-key appearance."
"Inner heart is the strong self-confidence and ambition that is boiling all the time."
Is a bit interesting.
Shentong knows that it is the deep-hidden stubbornness and self-esteem of Arenas that drives him to choose the number 0 as his jersey number.
"Eh ..." Shen Qing turned over the last penultimate card and frowned slightly.
Shentong moved forward.
XV: Demon card.
"What do you mean?" Shen Tong asked quickly. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"The devil card itself means temptation, and the deadly attraction always brings entanglement of desire! The evil characteristic of entanglement is that it ignores the essence of true love and leads to a tragic result."
(+ _ +)?
Shentong: "Speak people."
"This card means that Gilbert can't be too persistent to pursue the desire, otherwise he will cause trouble to himself."
Shentong immediately thought of the last time and space, what happened in 2009.
8 years later.
Shentong felt that he should remind Arenas when necessary, after all, he is now his own buddy.
......
"Grandpa, answer the phone ... Grandpa, answer the phone ..."
Arenas!
"Hey, Shen, come to train together?"
"...what's the situation?"
"Tomorrow at 7 o'clock, see you in the gym!"
The other party hung up.
"Who is it?" Shen Qing raised his head and asked.
"Coincidentally, Gilbert." Shen Tong replied.
"Why are you looking for you?"
"It seems to be asking me to train together." Shen Tong said with a painful expression, "7 o'clock tomorrow morning, damn, this is the second day of the draft ... I want to relax a little."
Shen Qing smiled and picked up the last card opened.
Stars.
Stars mean hope.
Represents confidence, hope and peace.
After the calm of change, he has the freedom to find himself and his true future.
"I think you should go, maybe, you can bring good luck to your buddies."
......
Or, achieve each other.
