It was night.
In Spring City, a hotel.
After dealing with the red-clothed fierce ghost, Zhang Wei was driven back to the hotel by He Qiao. It was already close to 1 AM.
"Then I'll pick up Mr. Zhang Wei and Lin Tong tomorrow to go to the airport," He Qiao said gratefully.
Zhang Wei waved his hand: "No need to trouble yourself, Captain He Qiao. It's not far from the airport, and it's just a taxi ride."
Although Zhang Wei didn't want to trouble He Qiao, He Qiao was enthusiastic and even offered to take Zhang Wei to another place for even better cross-bridge rice noodles. Zhang Wei found it hard to refuse.
Zhang Wei had three hobbies that he couldn't let go of.
The first was figurines, the second was Qiu Xiaolin and the others, and the third was eating. He had even planned that after graduation, he would travel the world, visiting every figurine shop and eating at every restaurant globally.
This was his grand ambition.
If he were to break it down into daily goals, it would be eating and playing during the day, and spending time with Qiu Xiaolin and the others at night.
Afterward.
He bid farewell to He Qiao.
Zhang Wei entered his room, preparing to wash up and sleep.
But just as he took off his clothes.
*Ring ring.*
His phone rang.
Zhang Wei picked up his phone and looked at it, a hint of surprise on his face: "Junfei?"
The caller ID showed it was Li Junfei. Instinctively, Zhang Wei glanced at the time, wondering why Junfei was calling at this hour.
He answered the phone: "Junfei, why are you calling at this time? What's up, is Brother Pang calling me to play games? If so, wait for me, I'll take a shower first."
At this hour, he often played League of Legends with Fatty and Li Junfei.
As soon as he spoke.
Li Junfei's voice came through the phone: "No, it's not Brother Pang. Brother Pang is busy these two days and doesn't have time to play. Brother Wei, I'm calling you for something else. It's the class representative who just contacted me."
"Class representative?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's mind conjured the image of the class representative Yu Xiaoqi, as well as his father Yu Weihong. He couldn't help but ask: "What does the class representative want with me? Speaking of which, how has Uncle Yu been recently? After the last trip to the Northeast, the class representative mentioned that Uncle Yu took his whole family on vacation. How are they now?"
He still remembered.
The first time he went to the Northeast was to help the class representative Yu Xiaoqi deal with a supernatural event. A construction site his father, Yu Weihong, was overseeing had a well with an iron coffin inside, containing an iron coffin zombie. He had also indirectly offended a corpse stitcher, who was suspected of being a member of the Senluo Division.
"Uncle Yu and them? The class representative just told me. Since the last iron coffin zombie incident, Uncle Yu has been taking your advice and handed over his current affairs to his subordinates. He's taking his wife on a trip."
"Actually, Brother Wei, I'm calling you because the class representative and Uncle Yu entrusted me to find you."
Li Junfei said frankly: "It's almost summer vacation, right? Uncle Yu and his wife are almost done with their travels. He's thinking of taking the class representative abroad for a vacation this time to help the class representative relax from his studies, hahaha, the life of the rich."
"And Uncle Yu already knows about the existence of such things in the world. He's been traveling domestically these days, and with the Weidao Division and you in China, he feels that China is very safe and not too dangerous."
"But now that they're going abroad, who knows if the security situation is good there?"
"So, they're thinking of buying some talismans or protective items from you, Brother Wei, to ensure their safety. That way, even if they encounter any unclean things, they won't be afraid."
Zhang Wei understood, a smile appearing on his face.
Like most people, Uncle Yu and his family were thoughtful, preparing thoroughly before going abroad.
Thinking about it.
Zhang Wei asked: "When are Uncle Yu and them going abroad? Where are they going? To the Beautiful Country? If they're going there, my talismans won't be effective. Taking a bus there might lead to an explosion, and walking at a school intersection might result in a group of people rushing out and shooting them."
"My talismans work well against ghosts, but they can't prevent human attacks."
As he spoke.
Li Junfei's laughter came through the phone: "Damn, Brother Wei, you're so real with that statement, it's hilarious. Actually, I told Old Yu about this too. He said he's not going to the Beautiful Country, but plans to go to Sakura Country for a hot spring. The class representative wants to visit Akihabara."
"Oh, right, Brother Wei, they're leaving tomorrow morning. Old Yu, this guy, was too busy with his girlfriend that he only remembered this important matter now. That's why I'm calling you, Brother Wei."
Zhang Wei's brows twitched: "Tomorrow? I'm still in Xishuangbanna, and it'll take at least noon to get back."
Li Junfei nodded: "Yeah, that's why I said Old Yu is being inconsiderate. He's contacting you so late at night when you're not even in the dorm. If he had contacted you earlier, Brother Wei could have given him something for protection directly. Now, Brother Wei, what do you think we should do?"
"Indeed, if I were there, I could even customize something protective for him according to his preferences."
Zhang Wei said noncommittally, and continued: "But it's okay, I still have a way to give him something for protection."
As he spoke.
Zhang Wei recalled and said: "How about this, Junfei, take a look at my desk. There's a figurine of Cao Yanbing from Zhen Hun Jie on my desk. Have you seen it?"
"Let me see."
Li Junfei replied, got up from his bed, turned on the light, and looked at Zhang Wei's desk filled with a dazzling array of figurines: "Brother Wei, your figurines, although I see them every day, I envy them every time I look at them. Let me find it, Cao Yanbing figurine."
A moment later.
Li Junfei scanned the hundreds of figurines on his desk and cabinet and found the Cao Yanbing figurine.
He held two Cao Yanbing figurines and asked: "Brother Wei, I found two Cao Yanbing figurines. One is of Cao Yanbing holding a weapon, and the other is of Cao Yanbing with Yu Jin standing behind him. Which one are you referring to?"
Zhang Wei replied: "The one with Yu Jin standing behind him. That figurine is a smaller scale, easier for the class representative to carry. Have the class representative take that one. I've cast some ghost-repelling spells on it, so it can provide protection."
"Got it."
Li Junfei nodded in response and added: "Then I'll go give it to the class representative now. By the way, Brother Wei, aren't you heartbroken to give this figurine to the class representative? This figurine must be worth several thousand, right?"
"It's fine, out with the old, in with the new, hehe. Actually, I've been eyeing a Cao Yanbing figurine recently, and that one is cooler than this. This one just has Yu Jin standing behind him, and other guardian spirits like Xu Zhu transforming into dragons. But that one has Cao Yanbing standing with all seven of Xu Zhu's guardian spirits appearing in their true forms behind him."
Mentioning figurines.
Zhang Wei's eyes lit up, and he became energetic: "I've already ordered it. How about it, Junfei? Do you want one too? I'll buy one for you, and I'll pay."
"Holy crap, you said that, Brother Wei. Don't go back on your word. Then I want one too!! Hahahaha, Brother Wei, you're too kind, I love you to death, I'm willing to offer you my chrysanthemum."
"That's not necessary, I don't have that kind of hobby."
"That's right, Brother Wei, you have the class monitor, hehehehe."
To Li Junfei's words.
Zhang Wei smiled, mentally adding that it wasn't just the class monitor, but he said verbally: "Alright, stop being so glib. Go quickly and give the figurine to the class representative. I'm going to take a shower, I just finished being busy."
With that said.
Zhang Wei hung up the phone and walked towards the bathroom, thinking to himself:
"I wonder if Xiaoxue and Xiaomantou are asleep yet. After I take a shower, I'll send them a message first and discuss academic knowledge."
