Chapter 5 Discussion of Painting
For the rest of the night, Arthur fell asleep and woke up sometimes.
When he woke up, Arthur would ask, “Are you here?”
No response.
Arthur waited for a while until his sleepiness made him unable to open his eyes again.
Half-dream and half-awake, Arthur didn't know that he was worried about this girl.
Her silence made him more worried than chattering.
Did you encounter any accidents?
Thinking of this, Arthur felt a little guilty and could not explain the reason.
Until early morning, lights lit outside the cabin walls, and passionate music came from the aerospace school. This sound passed through the spacecraft and could be heard by people in any corner.
———
Restaurant, breakfast time.
Arthur held breakfast and looked for a free table, and then he realized the strange eyes of the people around him.
He lowered his head to look for the space, his heart was in a mess. Not sleeping well overnight was a big problem for him.
New humans can maintain strong physical strength and agile thinking for several days without sleeping, but ordinary people like Arthur cannot do it at all.
Finally, I saw a seat trying to sit down, but suddenly Arthur's shoulder was patted by a cold hand.
"Arthur Lin!" shouted.
Arthur turned around and saw Thor who helped him sell paintings at the Qianhua Market yesterday.
"Why do you look bad? Are you bombarded by news all night?"
——News?Bombing?
Arthur had no idea what Thor was saying, but he did not show that he was confused. He pretended to be calm and walked forward two steps forward, pulled open the chair and sat down.
"I'll be happy if I invite you to have coffee."
After Saul finished speaking, he bought an espresso in the desktop ordering system.
Arthur was stunned. A new human being was very attentive to him. Why is that?
Espresso is a high-end food.
There is sufficient supply of food on the spacecraft, but these foods are mainly synthetic nutrients, have a good taste and are rich in nutrition, providing all the nutrients needed on the Mir.
Coffee, a historic food, is extremely precious on the spacecraft, and a cup of espresso is sold for 5 light stones.
The robot quickly delivered the coffee to Arthur. The coffee emitting white smoke and aroma attracted the attention of people around him.
Someone recognized Arthur as the boy who sold paintings at the market yesterday. Thor looked at the people in the restaurant and said to Arthur: "The painting yesterday sold 210 light stones. It's enough to drink a cup of coffee. I heard from the old people that coffee is particularly effective for improvement."
Arthur forced a smile, still feeling worried.
"Everyone is asking, why did you think of the painting? Did you really use a new database model?"
Arthur shook his head.
What he didn't know was that just last night, the painting that appeared at the Qianhua Market had become a hot topic of discussion among young people on the Mir.
"What the hell is going on with that painting?"
"I heard that I sold 210 light stones, which is my pocket money for a year."
"I haven't had so much pocket money a year."
“That painting has magic.”
"The upstairs is right, I can guarantee that anyone who sees that painting will be attracted to it."
"What kind of painting is it? I'm playing shooting in the shooting area and I didn't see the painting you mentioned. Can anyone describe it to me?"
“Unless to describe.”
“Unable to describe +1”
"Stars witness: an indescribable sight."
"This scene is only because it exists in the sky."
"Then are people we haven't seen in life regrets?"
"It's not that. I just don't know if there is another painting. I think I need to save money. If such works appear in the market next month, I want to buy them."
"There are senior students from the aerospace school upstairs, who enjoy rich scholarships and are rich."
"It's safe. Even if there are new works next month, it's not the turn of ordinary humans like us."
"Wait, let's talk about it, who is the person who painted this painting?"
"It must be a student from the aerospace school."
"+10 light years"
"+100 light years"
"+1000 light years"
"In terms of the universe, artistic talent is also biased towards high IQ people, and it is true that it is a student in the aerospace school."
"What the hell is going on? You didn't even go to see it and you knew you were joining in the fun here. You were obviously an ordinary person who lived on the second floor of the spacecraft."
"Have you followed someone? So clear?"
"I know the owner of this work. I am a good brother since I was a child."
"Hug your thighs! Ask for a painting, the price is easy to negotiate."
"Haha, the elites of the aerospace school were actually sleepless by a child's painting. Do you still have the stars in your heart?"
"Don't say that, you won't understand the mysterious and awe-inspiring power that you haven't seen before this painting."
silence--
"I hope there is still a chance to see new works, the more the better."
Thor smiled at the computer desktop. The desktop was a white display screen. Now what Thor showed Arthur was the discussion of everyone's work last night.
"See it? Arthur, you're so popular. I've never seen a person attracting so much attention with a work. If you can continue to create excellent works, it won't take long to be the richest boy on Mir."
——The richest boy?
Of course, Arthur knew what the richest boy meant. Money was always useful in the human world. If there were many light stones, he could drink coffee, buy ten pots and twenty pots of sunflowers, apply for a more spacious rest cabin, buy tickets for planetary travel, and even - the ultimate - the unattainable dream, which could not have been the dream of an ordinary person - he could buy a small spaceship.
This is a dream that all children have when they were young, but it is a reality that only belongs to the most outstanding of the new human beings.
When a person owns his own small spaceship, the universe is the first time he opens his arms to him alone.
Arthur was in a trance. Is this dreaming?
Thor waved at him, "What are you thinking? Or we can also talk about a business. I noticed you yesterday. Speaking of which, I am definitely a Bole. If I hadn't taken a fancy to your works at first sight and came up with such a magical plan to auction it, maybe this painting was not as popular as it was yesterday and wouldn't have sold 210 light stones."
"Do you want me to give you some?" Arthur said sincerely.
