Multiple Personalities

Shen Jingqi's pupils widened.

There's really a store here that sells Conan-themed sandwiches!

It's like a novel brought to life!

The difference is, in the real world, the casually spoken wish was fulfilled in the Sensory Paradise.

This wish, he had only ever told Li Baiyu!

He was unable to comprehend what was happening.

For a moment, he seemed to suddenly understand Lin Shuwang's feelings.

The Sensory Paradise is definitely not that simple!

Shen Jingqi walked to the entrance of the sandwich shop.

He pushed open the door and walked in.

Inside, several employees were busy.

At the nearby tables, about a dozen customers were dining and chatting.

Besides dining, this sandwich shop also allowed for working, studying, etc.

And atop all their heads were information bars.

"Welcome, what would you like to try?"

A young male clerk greeted warmly.

"I'd like the Conan-themed sandwich by the entrance."

Shen Jingqi pointed to the spot by the door.

The male clerk smiled with a standard eight-toothed grin, his eyes playful:

"Alright, please wait a moment. Please find a seat first."

Shen Jingqi weaved through the crowd and found a seat by the window, sitting down slowly into the chair.

The chair had a realistic feel to it, everything was real.

Shen Jingqi looked around at the setting on the table, with silver knives, forks, napkins, and small bottles of fragrance.

Several clerks were dressed in the same uniforms, bustling about with trays, full of energy and enthusiasm.

"Here you go, your Conan-themed sandwich, please enjoy."

A clerk brought over a plate.

Bread + lettuce + ham.

It was identical in appearance to the sandwich they had eaten in Li Baiyu's sports car yesterday noon.

Picking up the sandwich, he took a bite.

The taste was exactly the same.

It was clearly the exact same kind.

Of course, Shen Jingqi had never eaten a Conan-themed sandwich before, so he wouldn't know its flavor.

But, at this moment, this same sandwich was in every sense a recreation of yesterday's experience.

"Hello."

Shen Jingqi called over a clerk.

"Yes? What can I do for you?"

The clerk came over enthusiastically, watching Shen Jingqi holding the sandwich, and asked.

"The sandwich is delicious."

"Thank you."

The clerk gestured a heart with his hands.

"Just wondering, is this Conan-themed sandwich your store's specialty? Why is it placed at the entrance?"

Shen Jingqi asked.

"How should I put it?"

The clerk scratched his head.

"Actually, it's something our boss wanted us to make, so we did."

"Your boss?"

"Yes, our boss had a sudden whim yesterday afternoon, decided to launch this sandwich, and wanted it displayed at the entrance."

"Yesterday afternoon, huh."

Shen Jingqi nodded.

That was exactly when he and Li Baiyu finished eating the sandwich.

"If I may ask, is your boss here?"

"The boss isn't here. He's very busy both morning and afternoon and only comes in when he has time. However, he made a point to come in yesterday afternoon, to personally make and display this sandwich at the entrance."

"Your boss has good taste. The Conan-themed sandwich is said to be very auspicious."

Shen Jingqi raised the sandwich in his hand and smiled.

"Thank you for the good word."

The clerk smiled.

The store started bustling again.

Shen Jingqi's lips curled slightly, and he continued eating the sandwich.

Having a sandwich at this time felt like having afternoon tea in the office.

The difference was that the current environment was completely different from the hospital.

No patients, no busy tasks to handle.

Outside, the sunshine was just right.

Occasionally, pedestrians strolled by, rarely in a hurry.

The lush branches and leaves covered the tree-lined path, sheltering this small shop.

Shen Jingqi felt everything resembled a myth.

In the crowd outside, Shen Jingqi saw a figure.

[000001LSW].

Lin Shuwang also entered the sandwich shop.

He glanced inside for a moment and then walked directly to Shen Jingqi's seat.

"Hi, we meet again."

Shen Jingqi greeted.

"Yes, quite magical. We were supposed to walk separately, yet we ended up in the same store."

[000001LSW] blinked a bit.

Shen Jingqi recalled that this was an event he initiated, and he would know more of the rules and information.

"We really are fated to meet."

The same clerk came over.

"Hello, may I know what you'd like? The store offers food, space. You can dine, work, or study here, but please keep noise levels down to avoid disturbing others."

"Thank you. I'll have a look at the menu."

[000001LSW] looked at the menu.

"One avocado and vegetable sandwich, and a white peach fruit tea, please."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

Hearing these two items, Shen Jingqi found this store's food very unique and natural, somewhat comforting.

He wanted to see what else was on the menu.

"Hi, I'd like to order a drink as well."

Shen Jingqi took the menu.

It listed various sandwiches and drinks.

Shen Jingqi quickly spotted a drink.

"Ginkgo leaf cool tea. I'd like that. Thank you."

"Alright, please wait."

While the server was noting it down, Shen Jingqi scanned the entire menu.

Yet he didn't see avocado vegetable sandwich or white peach fruit tea.

Shen Jingqi was a bit puzzled.

Could it be that the menu he saw was different from the one Lin Shuwang saw?

He handed the menu back to the clerk, who then left.

"Excuse me, what was the name of the drink you ordered just now?"

[000001LSW] asked.

"Ginkgo leaf cool tea."

"It seems I didn't hear it wrong, I heard that too. But the problem is, I just went through the entire menu, and I'm certain I didn't see ginkgo leaf cool tea."

[000001LSW] was somewhat surprised.

"Are you certain?"

"I'm certain. My vision is excellent, sometimes I can read very fast. I have a strong memory, capable of remembering strings of characters in succession."

Two people with fast reading ability, and neither saw the other's ordered items on the menu.

Shen Jingqi found it quite odd as well.

"Hello, your avocado vegetable sandwich and white peach fruit tea, please enjoy."

"Hello, your ginkgo leaf cool tea, please enjoy."

The server brought over the food.

"You only ordered a drink?"

[000001LSW] picked up the avocado vegetable sandwich.

"I arrived earlier than you and have already eaten. I had the Conan-themed sandwich."

Shen Jingqi pointed to the empty plate before him.

"Conan-themed sandwich? How come I didn't see that? Where is it?"

"It's not something you order from the menu, it's on display at the entrance, visible from outside. I came in because I saw that display."

"Is it? How come I didn't see any display at the entrance?"

[000001LSW] turned his head towards the entrance.

"How can that be, it's right there!"

Shen Jingqi pointed to the entrance.

There, a display stand was set up.

"There's nothing at the entrance, it's empty!"

[000001LSW] widened his eyes.
