Chapter 63 Shinkansen (Second Update)

Su Yun, the ruthless stamp collector, stood there with her thoughts full of hope. However, Zhuang Long, who was very handsome but didn't know that she had a beautiful thought, had already come over with a suitcase. He spoke in fluent Cantonese with a soft voice, "Are we going to Kyoto next?"

Su Yun was already accustomed to the contrast between this person and his voice, but Yoshida was very surprised to hear Zhuang Long speaking Cantonese for the first time.

He himself is a young talent who is proficient in Chinese, English and Japanese. Although the "Chinese" includes Mandarin and Cantonese, for some unexplainable reasons, he usually works more in Hong Kong and Japan, so he is more proficient in Cantonese.

In order to do his best to translate for Iwasaki Mineko, Yoshida watched the movie "Artificial Intelligence" with professionalism. In the second half, when Zhuang Long's character "Joe" appeared, he was not only extremely handsome, but also spoke fluent and attractive English. Yoshida, who was a professional counterpart, was amazed: Chinese people can actually speak such good English!

Of course, what Yoshida didn’t know was that Su Yun was also very impressed by his spoken English at first, and silently changed her consistent idea that “only Japanese people can understand Japanese people when they speak English”…

Don’t think that Su Yun is a nerd obsessed with the second dimension, but when it comes to serious matters, she is always quite self-reliant.

And now with the influence of Lu Shaolong, her sense of pride in her nation and country is even stronger - if foreigners are polite, she will be polite too; if they are impolite... hehe, then don't blame her for hitting back with the same impoliteness, after all, the one who provokes first is the loser, right?

Fortunately, there are good people and bad people everywhere, and we cannot generalize.

Back to the topic, after the three of them officially met, they planned to take the Shinkansen directly to Kyoto.

Japan's Shinkansen began operation in 1964, and its first route was the Tokaido Shinkansen, which connects Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, which Su Yun and the other two were about to take.

Fifty years later, Su Yun also took the Shinkansen to travel to Japan, but the slightly aging train and the crowded train were really bad. Now that the Shinkansen has just been in operation for ten years, it is estimated that it can wash away her memory of the unpleasant experience in the past...

It turns out that she really thought too much.

There is absolutely no difference between the Shinkansen of fifty years ago and the Shinkansen of fifty years later. It's like they are copied and pasted in a loop!

The people are hardly the same anymore, but the cars are still the same cars, and the crowds are still the same crowds.

Seeing that the crowds ahead were so huge that they could only move by moving, Zhuang Long didn't even care about his suitcase. He just picked up Su Yun, fearing that her small body would be drowned once she entered the crowd...

Su Yun was not in a hurry and dragged a suitcase in each hand, using the two suitcases as shields, one in front and one behind, to create a little distance between her and Zhuang Long and the crowd.

The advantage of this approach is that Zhuang Long does not have to be smeared all over his face by the ponytail of the girl in front of him; but the disadvantage is that every time the girl in front of him moves her head, Zhuang Long will be slapped by her thick and dense ponytail...

Well, it's only because people nowadays have thick hair. If it were people in the future who were so bald that they couldn't even afford lice, they wouldn't have to face such a dilemma.

Yoshida struggled to squeeze out a half-visible smile in the crowd: "This is how it is in Tokyo. When the train reaches the next station, the situation will be much better..."

Even though he knew that Tokyo Station was the starting point, his awkward yet polite smile, coupled with the crowd behind him trying to squeeze into the train in a fancy way of saying "there is no train that I can't get on", made people feel very complicated.

"And the staff will help us..." Listening to Yoshida's difficult explanation, Su Yun and Zhuang Long silently turned their gazes away from the staff who seemed to be trying to pull up the suitcase that was already on the verge of bursting, and turned their gazes to the staff who were performing a miracle with great effort.

When they finally managed to squeeze through the crowd and into the car, the three of them looked quite frightened.

Fortunately, the Japanese version of "Artificial Intelligence" has not yet been officially released in various regions, otherwise their fate would definitely be even more miserable - it was because of this knowledge that Su Yun tried to challenge the Shinkansen.

Now, when no one knows you, you have to try your best to stroll around the streets in front of people; otherwise, when you become famous in the future, you will be like a rat crossing the street every time you go out. How can you walk on the street openly and fearlessly?

As for the movie "Artificial Intelligence", Su Yun is not worried at all that it will fail at the box office in Japan - because when "Artificial Intelligence" was first shown in the United States, Zhuang Long was called "the oriental version of Alain Delon" by the audience in the front row.

So Su Yun looked up the information about this name, and then successfully obtained two titles for this ancient beast: "French Sun God" and "The Man Who Sucked the Looks of French Men for a 100 Years"...

However, this type of French handsome actor is considered unmanly and handsome in the eyes of Americans. His popularity was only short-lived before gradually fading with the emergence of new actors and new works.

However, in Japan, which is particularly fond of this kind of handsome men, the release of the movie "The Wrath of the Sea" directly triggered a wave of Japanese girls learning French.

Su Yun has not seen this old version of "The Dead Sea", but she has seen the movie "The Talented Mr. Ripley" which is also adapted from this story. Since this story about a femme fatale with limited audience viewing conditions can trigger a craze among movie girls to learn French, there is no reason why "Artificial Intelligence", which also has beauties and a more popular plot, cannot trigger a new round of craze.

I just don’t know whether it is a craze for learning Chinese or a craze for learning English.

Thanks to the privilege of admiring Zhuang Long's face up close, Su Yun managed to survive the most crowded and difficult period in the car.

It turns out that only when a beauty reaches the level of a pretty baby can one forget all worries.

Having said that, five minutes later, the ruthless Su Yun immediately abandoned Zhuang Long, the beautiful baby who supported her through the difficult times, and happily threw herself into the arms of the chair.

There are not too many people on the bus now, and it is basically full. She finally found an empty seat, but no matter how beautiful it is, it doesn't catch her eye!

Oh, no, the young man in a suit playing with a calculator across from her also attracted her - Bus calculators were rare at the time, and to be able to play with this thing, you either had a mine at home or you were very lucky...

Compared to the steampunk-style hand-cranked calculator held by the person next to him, which looked extremely complex and sophisticated but could only perform addition, subtraction and reset, this Bus calculator, which was equipped with the world's first commercial microprocessor system 4004 that would later change the world, could be called a landmark masterpiece.

Although she had managed to get a modified Altair 8800, the core of the Altair 8800 was still the newer generation 8080 processor. The 4004, however, successfully attracted the attention of Bill Gates and indirectly led to the existence of Microsoft - of course, the current 4004 was too weak to realize the development of the operating system for personal use envisioned by Bill Gates.

But no matter how weak I am, as a junker, how can I refuse such an "antique" item with commemorative value?

Seeing Su Yun staring at the calculator in his hand intently, the young man in a suit smacked his lips silently, not knowing that Su Yun had already disassembled his precious calculator thousands of times with her eyes.

This child seems quite cute and well behaved, so it seems no big deal to let her play a little...

Before the young man in the suit could decide whether to let Su Yun play with his precious calculator, Zhuang Long, who was sitting next to him, noticed where Su Yun was looking and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the calculator in his hand." The two had been talking in Cantonese, so Su Yun subconsciously replied in Cantonese.

As soon as these words came out, the young man in the suit's face immediately darkened.

Knowing the identities of the two people, the young man in the suit not only immediately retracted the idea that he had not yet decided, but also slightly turned his body to the side, trying to hide the treasure calculator under the cover of his body...

Yoshida was a little confused when he saw this, but his good professionalism and sympathy for Su Yun prevailed, so he stood up silently and walked to the seat of the young man in a suit: "I'm sorry, my little friend likes your calculator very much. Can you adjust her sitting position to meet her wish?"

"There's no need to lend it to her to play with. Just let her sit there and watch. That's all." Yoshida added, thinking that the young man in the suit was afraid that Su Yun was a naughty kid who would dismantle the phone and that's why he was hiding so cautiously.

"Are you Japanese?" The young man in a suit looked him up and down and asked lazily.

"Yes, my name is Yoshida." Yoshida thought there was hope and quickly took out a business card from his briefcase.

The young man in a suit nonchalantly took the business card between two fingers. When he saw clearly that the occupation column on it said "Translator", a mocking arc immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Who are they?" The young man in a suit raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Su Yun and Zhuang Long.

Although the young man in a suit showed no manners at all, Yoshida still answered his questions politely: "They are guests from Hong Kong and the United States..."

"Guest?!" The young man in a suit suddenly interrupted Yoshida and said to Su Yun and Zhuang Long casually, "Get out of Japan—"

"China."

The "well-behaved" smile on Su Yun's face disappeared instantly.
