The Fifth Point Guard

Ride on my beloved little motorcycle~~

The second day of the draft.

It was sunny and sunny.

It is rare for Shentong to give himself a day of relaxation.

Riding an old Shen Lafeng motorcycle, shuttling through the streets of the city.

After dinner last night, Shen Qing broke into Shen Tong's bedroom and forcibly took Shen Tong's walkman away.

"Brother, you are about to get an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars, so don't worry about this little thing with my sister."

After finishing speaking, he walked away.

Shen Tong leaned tightly on his pillow, not daring to say anything more.

Strictly speaking, what Shen Qing took away was the first hard drive mp3, not a real walkman.

The mp3 called "NoMad Jukebox" resembles a popular walkman in the future, and uses Fujitsu's 6.4GB 2.5-inch hard drive as a storage medium.

Although the volume is much larger than the mp3 that just emerged at that time, and even larger than the CD player, it pioneered the hard disk mp3.

In that era, it was also a milestone music player.

And it's pretty cool.

However, for Shentong, who has "traveled through the future", there are obviously more choices.

At the beginning of May, there were overwhelming Apple advertisements.

Apple began opening retail stores across the country.

It's just 3 or 4 streets away from where Shentong lives.

After parking the motorcycle, Shentong walked into the Apple Store.

It's a little bit different from the impression.

But Shentong was soon relieved, after all, it is 2001, not 2019.

Shentong shook his head while looking at all kinds of "old style" apples.

The salesperson's face turned green.

At the time, Apple was a symbol of cool and fashion.

No one has shown such a disgusted expression after entering the store.

STO is the first.

"what?"

STO seems to have discovered a new continent.

"iPod?!"

Some surprises.

In the last time and space, Shen Tong remembered that the ipod was officially released in October 2001. He did not expect that in this time and space, it was nearly 4 months earlier.

Although it is still an "old model", the ipod, which was born in the first generation, created a precedent for elegant hardware and solved the problem of paying for music.

At that time, the entire music industry in the United States was impacted by the emerging music Internet company Napster.

This young company founded by Sean Parker focuses on the concept of "music server". Anyone can download mp3 songs on Napster software, and the downloaded music can be turned into shared music for others to download.

The emergence of this software has made music sharing very easy, but at the same time it has also led to the proliferation of mass infringements in the audiovisual industry.

In an American movie "The Social Network", there is a scene about Napster founder Sean Parker.

However, what impresses the most is not Sean Parker, but Amy, a female college student who does not have many roles and was praised for playing the trombone when Sean Parker played.

Ok.

After taking out the prototype, Shentong did not need the help of the salesperson, and started to operate it directly.

Skillful movements, as if Shentong is not a customer, but the creator of this machine.

"Not bad, although the style is a bit old, but compared to other mp3 players, it is much better."

The salesperson's face turned green again.

When paying the bill, Shentong said something casually.

"Hey, you know what? Laptops suck, whether it's weight or hinges, it's time to improve."

Holding the newly bought ipod, Shentong pushed open the door in satisfaction.

Seeing Shen Tong's leaving back, the female salesperson picked up the phone hesitantly, and dialed the number of the main store.

"Well, there was a strange young man just now."

Back home, Shen Qing was sitting on the sofa, shaking her head with the snatched NoMad Jukebox headset.

There are Tarot cards in front of you.

Divination with tarot cards is one of Shen Qing's hobbies.

Seeing Shen Tong came back, Shen Qing quickly waved to her brother.

Shentong silently stuffed the iPod he just bought into the inner pocket of his clothes.

Shen Qing took off the earphones and said: "Brother, this player is not bad, just to thank you for your generosity"

generous?

It is obviously a robbery.

If it wasn't for keeping things from being tipped over under the pillow.

Shentong must resist to the death.

"I'll give you a divination for free."

"Thank you, no need."

"Oh, it's rare that I feel a connection with the Tarot cards recently, just let me try."

Shen Tong put down his backpack and sat next to the application.

"Is it okay to count someone else?"

"certainly."

Shen Tong thought about it.

"Let's count Gilbert Arenas. That guy has been unlucky recently. I want to see if there is any good advice I can give him."

"No problem!" Shen Qing excitedly picked up the tarot cards and reshuffled them.

"Birthday." Shen Qing asked.

"Well, let me think about it. January 6, 1982, it should be right."

Arenas' draft application form was filled out by Shentong.

Shen Qing put the Tarot cards on her chest, closed her eyes, her slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, and muttered something.

It's true.

After the ceremony was over, Shen Qing drew out several cards and laid them out in front of her in a certain order.

As the cards were turned over one by one, Shen Qing began to translate one by one.

"Gilbert has the typical Capricorn character of patience, restraint and stability."

"Do things hard and steadily, step by step steadily."

"Has a deceptively peaceful and understated appearance."

"In my heart, there is strong self-confidence and ambition boiling all the time."

Interesting.

Shen Tong knew that it was Arenas' deeply hidden stubbornness and self-esteem that drove him to choose No. 0 as his jersey number.

"Huh..." Shen Qing frowned slightly as she turned over the penultimate card at the end.

Shen Tong stepped forward.

XV: Demon card.

"What do you mean?" Shen Tong asked quickly.

"The devil card itself means temptation, and the fatal attraction always brings about the entanglement of desire! The evil characteristic of entanglement is to ignore the essence of true love, leading to tragic results."

(+_+)?

Shen Tong: "Speak human language."

"This card means that Gilbert can't be too persistent in pursuing his desires, otherwise he will cause trouble for himself."

Shen Tong immediately thought of what happened in 2009 in the last time and space.

8 years later.

Shen Tong felt that he should remind Arenas when necessary, after all, he is his buddy now.

"Grandpa, answer the phone. Grandpa, answer the phone"

Arenas!

"Hey Shin, do you want to train together?"

".what's the situation?"

"See you at the gym at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning!"

The other party hung up the phone.

"Who is it?" Shen Qing raised her head and asked.

"Coincidentally, Gilbert." Shen Tong replied.

"Why are you looking for me?"

"It seems to be asking me to train together." Shen Tong said with a painful expression, "7 o'clock tomorrow morning, damn it, this is the second day of the draft and I want to relax a little bit."

Shen Qing smiled and picked up the last card that was turned over.

Star.

Stars mean hope.

Represents confidence, hope and peace.

After experiencing the calmness after the change, I have freedom, and find myself and my real future.

"I think you should go, maybe you can bring good luck to your buddies."

Or, mutual achievement.
