Chapter 2 Buildings and Bridges
"My day! What's the situation?"
Geng Jiangyue took off his game helmet and was not in the mood to check the extra hours in his account, so he quickly wanted to log in again. But obviously the game dealer would not give him face. No matter how he restarted, the system prompted that there were still 8 hours of banning. Geng Jiangyue tried three times again, but he finally accepted his fate and put down his helmet.
Forget it, it’s about 1 o’clock, and it’s no different from 3 o’clock.
In this bad society, games are as cold-blooded and ruthless as reality. People with high spiritual power in reality have the same spiritual power in the game. Those bastards with high spiritual power will probably never come to play games in their lives. Why do they design such a good game experience for them? It’s because they are born to be the key targets of the world’s training, with promising, organization, and superpowers. But apart from those special abilities, what else can they do? Ah?
You must know that we have to live a lifetime by playing games!
We spiritual scumbags are the foundation of this world!
Without us serving the world, then...that doesn't seem to matter...
Geng Jiangyue ignored logic and complained wildly. When he vomited, he finally hurt himself when he had to face the reality.
"I'm sorry, this is not the world's fault, it's all my fault. My destiny is not by me. If the heaven destroys me, I will lie down..." In the face of ruthless fate, the once arrogant Yue Ye finally knelt down.
He held the game helmet and sighed for 20 minutes. Until his stomach started to growl, he remembered that he had not eaten supper.
Geng Jiangyue quickly logged on to the service page of the game helmet and transferred the 80 work points of today to his personal account. 80 work points are equivalent to 8 yuan in alliance coins. As a disabled person who survives on games, Geng Jiangyue can deliver a unit of "brain wave electricity" to the power generation company behind the game dealer for every hour he "goes to work", and then receive a reward of 10 work points.
Usually, Geng Jiangyue has to be on the plane for about 12 hours a day, but he can't stand it if he has too much, and his brain can't bear it. So today he was banned for spitting out fragrant smells. In fact, the loss is a bit big. The total four yuan is almost enough for his food expenses throughout the day.
——However, when a person suffers economic losses, he always takes a big picture. In fact, Geng Jiangyue only planned to hold on for 10 hours today, because he hadn't returned to his parents' home for many days. According to the plan, he should go back and take a look today.
"Oh... it's so troublesome."
Geng Jiangyue irritatedly, hanged the game helmet back on the wall behind him, then stood up, stretched in the cramped small room.
The room is very small, and there is a bed and a gaming chair in the entrance. There is a small bedside table beside the bed, the wardrobe is nailed to the wall, and there is also a bathroom. The door faces east, but the bathroom window faces north. Geng Jiangyue wakes up every morning and turns the big strips, and when the weather is good, the sun can shine on his butt. Sometimes the big strips are golden, and when he looks back, he always wants to vomit. But this room was not chosen by Geng Jiangyue himself, but was specially provided by the Haishi City government for "professional players" over the age of 14.
Because the most important function of each small room is not to be used to support people, but to serve as a personal workroom.
Since personal workshops cannot provide game power generation equipment for more than two people at the same time, children like Geng Jiangyue who just needs to support themselves can no longer live with his parents. In fact, it is not only children, but many families also live separately for the same reasons. Unless they live close together, they can only sleep together at night. Otherwise, one lives in the South City and the other lives in the North City, and the daily commuting fee will be a big pressure. In addition, this room is provided by the government, but it is not free.
The monthly rent of 30 yuan will be deducted directly from the work points.
Geng Jiangyue is unmarried, let alone raises a baby, and now living alone is not as stressful as those families who need to raise a baby. He only works 300 hours a month, and can get a full 300 yuan, plus a 5% subsidy for the disabled, which is 315 yuan. The daily meal expenses are controlled within 5 yuan, and a little pocket money, and in one month, he can save about 100 yuan. For ordinary families, this money is childbirth expenses, child support and his future funeral expenses, so it is very precious. So even though Geng Jiangyue verbally sneered at this stingy lifestyle, he still saved the money honestly for two months of living independently and did not dare to spend a penny.
After all, he still wants to get a wife.
I walked into the bathroom to wash my face, opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the bathroom, and looked out from the fully transparent floor-to-ceiling windows on the 42nd floor. It was already dark outside the house. Today is March 12th, and it was not yet the vernal equinox, and it was already dark before 6 o'clock in the evening.
To be honest, this point always makes people feel a little trembling when going out. Even though Haishi City is a trade transfer port city, the city hall has always attached great importance to safety issues. There are mysterious talismans on the aisles, elevators, small rooms, and even the walls of alleys. Those things have not happened for 8 consecutive years, but for Geng Jiangyue, who had experienced some bad things when he was a child, he just felt unsafe. According to his father, he may be born with "bad character" and easily cause trouble.
"Oh..." Thinking of his father, Geng Jiangyue couldn't help sighing again, then calmed down, put on his shoes, opened the door gently, and walked out of his nest. Walking through the long corridor, passing by one room after another, Geng Jiangyue walked to the No. 18 elevator entrance closest to home, and then waited for seven or eight minutes before the elevator finally got off the upstairs.
With a tingling sound, the elevator door opened and there were about a dozen people standing inside.
Geng Jiangyue walked in silently, and the atmosphere and remaining space in the elevator car became more depressing.
In the slightly crowded cabin, people are all keeping reasonable quiet. Those who live here are poor people who make a living by games, and the basic situation is similar. Geng Jiangyue is in it, and the only difference from most people is that he is relatively young.
After stopping 16 times, the elevator finally reached the penultimate floor.
The moment the elevator door opened, it looked like a canned sardine.
Geng Jiangyue followed the people in the elevator and relaxed greatly because of the openness of the space.
Looking around, I saw the noisy and noisy look on the second floor, and my mood also improved.
The second floor is large in area and provides various services, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, washing, hair, certificate processing, and data services. As long as you can imagine, you can basically find them in this way. So it is natural, including the most indispensable canteen.
Geng Jiangyue habitually walked towards the nearest cafeteria No. 18. Just a few meters away, he suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him. He turned around strangely and saw a guy jumping up with joy on his face, shouting in an excited tone: "Geng Jiangyue! Do you live here too? I said that studying is very useful, but in the end it is not the same as me!"
The second guy slapped Geng Jiangyue's shoulder with a palm, his eyes shining with a counterattack.
Geng Jiangyue stared at the other party for two seconds, and raised his lips slightly: "It's different. I have a high school diploma at least. Even if the venue is cleared one day, I will make up a room in the city hall. Unlike you, who drop out of junior high school like you, you can only live in the bridge hole at most."
