Chapter 28 Coincidence
Chapter 28 Coincidence
May 10th.
That is, December 9658th.
On Sundays, the metaphysics society also closes for public holidays.
Lu Shi got out of bed.
He's been sleeping quite well these past two days.
Once the timeline is reopened, his thinking will be influenced by the past, making it difficult for him to fall asleep that night.
He only falls asleep at midnight on the same night and wakes up at seven o'clock the next morning when there is no restart.
Lu Shi turned off the alarm clock before it went off.
He then got up, washed up, and went for a run.
Metaphysics is metaphysics, and the body is the body.
Unless one possesses a metaphysical ability that enhances the body, daily physical training is essential.
After finishing the run, Lu Shi controlled his breathing and then ate a bowl of noodles.
The rice noodles are very unique, with various side dishes that people in Changshi love to eat. The noodles are soaked in advance, so they easily absorb the flavor.
After finishing breakfast, Lu Shi strolled towards the entrance of the residential area.
There's a motorcycle shop on the street outside the residential area.
He was going to go there and take a look.
This time I'm not planning to buy an electric scooter; I'm going to get a motorcycle instead.
Anyway, he took all sorts of driving tests whenever he had free time back then.
Lu Shi had thought about Gao Mi's situation.
If you want to work at the metaphysics society, then navigating the city will be key.
In this situation, scooters and electric scooters were fine, but their speed wasn't fast enough.
That's why I wanted to get a different motorcycle.
Lu Shi didn't know much about these things either, so he planned to walk in that direction while searching for relevant information on his phone.
Lu Shi is very proactive. When he saw someone recommending different car models, he clicked on them to take a look.
Then I remembered that a new motorcycle shop had opened near my neighborhood. That shop seemed to have become quite famous recently because of winning a championship, so I looked at it and selected one that was reasonably priced, and then checked the purchase process.
"I remember the name correctly..." Lu Shi found the shop on the street outside his residential area and went in to make a reservation.
I learned that the new model for 2026 will take at least another two weeks.
Lu Shi didn't care that much and chose the older model that he could pick up immediately.
Soon after, Lu Shi acquired his first motorcycle, the Z500RR.
Next, you'll need to pay insurance, purchase tax, and register the vehicle.
Especially since it's Sunday now, I have to wait until tomorrow, a working day, to pay taxes and register my vehicle.
Fortunately, neither of these places is far from his neighborhood.
After getting the insurance and temporary license plate sorted out at the store, Lu Shi also selected some protective gear and a helmet from the store and then rode off to leave.
Then I ran into an acquaintance at the door.
"Yaoyao, slow down." A shout came from not far away. It was Lu Bangyan, Lu Shi's adoptive father.
Bangyan, derived from the poem "Lambskin" in the Zheng Feng section of the Book of Songs, means an outstanding talent of the nation.
The name is similar to Lu Yaoyao's, which shows that the Lu family has some cultural background.
Lu Shi raised an eyebrow; things were rather coincidental.
Lu Shi looked up and saw that the motorcycle shop was right next to the repair shop.
Lu Shi knew that Lu Yaoyao's electric scooter had broken down.
It makes sense to come in for repairs when the car breaks down, and it also makes sense to pick it up on Sunday.
But in just two days, he ran into the other party.
"Is it the stigma of a failed New Year's Eve celebration that's drawing people in, or is there some other force driving it?" It's no wonder Lu Shi is overthinking things.
The metaphysics of this world is inherently mysterious, and if you're not careful, you might fall into some big pitfall.
If it's the mystical imprint of a failed New Year's Eve celebration that's truly attracting attention, that's fine. But what if it's something else subtly driving things?
No one can say for sure what's behind this.
Perhaps Lu Shi is standing on the edge of a trap right now, being pushed step by step into it by the hand called cause and effect and fate.
"Holy crap..." Lu Yaoyao stared at Lu Shi riding out on his motorcycle, her eyes fixed on the motorcycle.
From a young age, Lu Yaoyao's preferences were somewhat different from those of her peers.
She likes dolls, but she also likes mechanical things.
Ever since her motorcycle broke down, she's wanted to buy a scooter.
Unfortunately, she is only 17 years old this year.
Lu Bangyan only promised her that he would buy her a suitable motorcycle after she got into a good university.
And it is subject to various strict restrictions.
Lu Yaoyao had no complaints about this; on the contrary, she was very happy with her father's open-mindedness.
Motorcycles are a dangerous thing, and there are even games online where you can follow female motorcycle bloggers, trans women, Western fitness bloggers, and virtual pets to see who can survive the longest in this chaotic battle.
Put yourself in her shoes; if your daughter liked dangerous things like motorcycles, anyone would get angry.
Lu Bangyan agreed largely because Lu Yaoyao had always been relatively reliable.
Lu Yaoyao simply likes machinery, but she doesn't enjoy taking risks.
I wanted to take this opportunity, under the guise of getting my car repaired, to come and see what I could do. It would be even better if I could persuade my father to buy one.
But to their surprise, they saw a car that had already been sold being pushed out of the store.
Although it's a 2025 model, it was still enough to catch her eye.
The next moment, Lu Yaoyao saw Lu Shi's face through the protective shield that was still open.
"Hey, it's you?" Lu Yaoyao didn't expect to run into an 'acquaintance' here, and blurted out those words involuntarily.
As soon as he spoke, Lu Bangyan's attention was naturally drawn to him.
Although the helmet concealed a lot of information, Lu Bangyan was still able to catch some key details in an instant when he saw the face.
"That face..." Lu Bangyan's heart stirred, and an indescribable emotion welled up inside him.
With his thoughts shifting, Lu Shi turned his head and glanced at Lu Yaoyao, while also clearly showing his face to Lu Bangyan.
Lu Shi then did not linger there any longer.
With the mask closed, Lu Shi took the opportunity to test the launch control mode, which is only available on higher-end models of this car.
With a whoosh, the car sped off in the next moment.
Although it was Lu Shi's first time riding a motorcycle, with his physical abilities and the help of his spiritual sense to perceive danger, he quickly got the hang of it.
If he were to add a skateboard to his outfit right now, he would have completed his collection of the two essential items for showing off in the city.
The feeling of speeding was quite nice, but in the city, it's best not to drive too fast unless necessary. After experiencing the feeling of high speed on the mainland, Lu Shi slowed down and drove around the southern district to familiarize himself with the terrain.
Next, due to the needs of the metaphysics society, he will need to travel back and forth between the cities.
After familiarizing himself with the terrain, Lu Shi drove to the large shopping mall in the southern district—Dajifa.
He doesn't have enough daily necessities at home, and he also needs to eat lunch here.
What struck Lu Shi as odd was that after parking and landing, he saw an acquaintance again.
