NCCnovel Chapter 5 My name is Kaffa.
Chapter 5 My name is Kaffa.
On the Starry Sky Train.
Seeing this, March 7th slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"Why is this person acting like this? Can't they see little Kafka is shivering from the cold?"
"You must have been very angry at the time."
"Is it Lu Li?"
On March 7th, he turned his head and found Lu Li staring blankly at the sky.
They completely lacked any sense of being "parties involved".
Yes, that's right.
At this moment, Lu Li still couldn't make a sound.
The system's mute package is really powerful; Lu Li couldn't even utter a sound when he wanted to complain, "This plot is too cliché."
Seeing March 7th looking at him seeking approval, Lu Li was somewhat speechless.
Hey sis, I've already been banned from speaking, why are you looking at me?
Putting aside the fact that I have no recollection of this matter at all, it's another matter whether the person in the picture is me or not.
Furthermore, if this really happened when Kavka was a child, it must have happened many years ago.
On Tianyi Wu, that planet teeming with demons, it's uncertain whether that teller is even still alive.
but……
Looking at Lu Li in the sky.
Lu Li touched his chin, his eyes narrowing slightly.
You know what, the person in the picture really looks like him.
Could it be his "isomeric form" in the Collapse Iron Universe?
Ok.
Based on this worldview, it's actually quite possible.
Or could this really be his past life?
Lu Li frowned and thought carefully for a moment.
Hmm, I really don't remember.
Perhaps he drank too much Meng Po soup when he was reincarnated.
However, since he's been banned for so long, can the system skip this melodramatic workplace discrimination scenario?
Should we fast-forward directly to the part where he gets his reward?
……
Returning to the scene of the sky.
Lu Li showed no anger in the face of the sales assistant's obstruction.
Kafka, on the other hand, was barefoot on the cold ground, clutching tightly to her oversized men's coat.
She could feel the sales assistant's scrutinizing gaze.
She was very familiar with that kind of gaze; she had seen it far too often in the slums.
Those demons consumed by desire look at their prey with the same scrutinizing and cold gaze.
She instinctively tried to back away.
But the next moment, a large, warm hand pressed down on the top of her head.
"Don't be afraid, go pick one out."
The sales assistant seemed to want to say something, but Lu Li had already pulled a black card out of his pocket.
The edges of the card are inlaid with dark gold patterns, which reflect a heavy texture under the light.
The moment the sales assistant saw the card, her outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
That's the highest-tier black gold card from Interstellar Peace Corporation.
These cards are typically issued only to tycoons who have made outstanding contributions to galactic trade.
Or... some "extremely dangerous" people.
But neither of them were people she, a mere shop assistant, could afford to offend.
The sales assistant immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sir...yes, I'm sorry, I'll arrange a VIP room for you two right away!"
The sales assistant's actions completed a perfect transition from "expelling" to "bowing" within seconds.
Lu Li ignored this change.
He simply tossed the card onto the counter and pointed to a row of purple dresses.
"Take that one down and let her try it on."
In the video, Kafka is led into the dressing room by a sales assistant, looking back every few steps.
Lu Li changed into a dry shirt and sat on the leather sofa in the rest area, casually picking up a newspaper to cover his face.
Upon seeing this, the live stream chat exploded across the entire universe.
[A low-level employee: Holy crap, if I'm not mistaken, that's a black gold card?!]
[Company executive: Impossible. The serial number of that black card is less than three digits, and we've never seen anyone with that name among the current cardholders.]
[Interstellar Peace Broadcast: According to reliable sources, those were the first batch of privilege cards issued by the company a long time ago, and have long been lost to that era.]
[Wanderer: Just who is this guy? The long-lost black gold card... Is he an undead?]
On the Star Core Hunter spaceship.
Seeing this, the lollipop in Silver Wolf's mouth fell onto the table.
She quickly summoned the light screen and frantically operated it, trying to decipher the code of the black card in the sky.
Unfortunately, all backtracking requests were blocked... no.
To be precise, there's no port of entry left.
Silver Wolf curled his lip and turned to look at Kafka.
"Kafka, did you know he was so rich back then?"
Kafka sat on the sofa without saying a word, her gaze fixed on the man sitting on the leather sofa in the picture.
Perhaps it was because of the memories, but her eyes seemed somewhat unfocused.
She remembers that day.
Because that was the first time she had worn clothes other than rags she had picked up from the garbage dump.
That soft, warm feeling.
Even after so long, it remains as clear as if it were yesterday.
And on that day.
She received the most precious gift of her life.
……
The images flow.
The curtains in the changing room were drawn back.
The girl came out.
She changed into a dark purple fitted short dress, her wet hair was simply tied up, revealing her bewildered wine-red eyes.
Lu Li put down the newspaper and stared at her for a few seconds.
Lu Li's surprised gaze and the unfamiliar touch on her body made the girl feel an indescribable sense of unease.
"Is it... strange?"
at last.
She couldn't help but ask softly, her voice barely audible.
The girl's voice pulled Lu Li back to reality.
"Not surprising." Lu Li shook his head and smiled. "It looks very good."
Hearing Lu Li's words, the girl felt a sense of relief for some reason.
Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed somewhat happy, Lu Li stroked his chin and nodded.
Yes, it really does look alike.
Lu Li stood up, walked over to her, and squatted down.
The girl's shoelaces were tied in a mess.
The sales assistant, busy pouring coffee and trying to ingratiate herself, probably didn't expect this.
Because she had never worn shoes in the slums before, this little girl didn't even know how to tie her shoelaces.
Lu Li, finding it troublesome, didn't call anyone and personally untied the messy knot.
The girl stood obediently, watching the man squatting down to tie her shoelaces.
"To be honest, I don't even know your name. What's your name?"
As Lu Li helped her tie her shoelaces, he casually asked.
To Lu Li's surprise, a look of confusion flashed in the girl's eyes after hearing his words.
"name?"
"Well, like everyone around me calls me Lu Li, Lu Li is my name."
What did the people around you call you when you lived there?
The girl tilted her head. "Trash, waste... scum? That's what everyone calls them."
Lu Li: "..."
Does this mean he'll have to live with someone called "Trash" from now on?
The girl asked curiously, "So that's my name?"
"Uh, that shouldn't be a name..."
He noticed the girl's puzzled look.
Lu Li: "..."
Okay, it seems not.
"In that case, I'll help you choose a name."
After tying the girl's shoelaces, he stood up.
Looking at the purple-haired little girl who was looking up at him, Lu Li stroked his chin.
Indeed, they really do look alike.
Although it couldn't possibly be her.
but……
Lu Li smiled and said, "From now on, you'll be called... Kafka."
The girl tilted her head upon hearing this: "Kaf...Kaf?"
"That's right."
Lu Li squatted down, placed his hand on the little girl's head and patted it gently. "This is the name of a person I know who is both powerful and elegant."
"She has beautiful purple hair and red eyes just like you, and she also happens to be a member of the Five Heavenly Garments."
"May her name bring you good luck and allow you to live more freely than anyone else."
"Kafka..." the little girl murmured over and over again.
This is... her name.
In the video, the little girl sees something called "light" for the first time.
That was a color she had never seen since she was born in the slums.
Kaffa...
This is... her name.
This was the first thing she truly owned in this world.
This was the first time the little girl had smiled since she met Lu Li.
Looking at Lu Li in front of her, the little girl smiled brightly.
"Lu Li, my name is—Kafka."
