In the Hive City, Ping An Community.

This is the community where the most returnees have been resettled after coming to Hive City. The community is large and can accommodate nearly 10,000 people. Now it's eighty percent full.

Chen Ping'an is one of them, and it has been five years since he returned from the original Otherworld. Now he is working at Genesis, and the main part of his work is the training of new employees.

The work is generally very easy, and there are about 13,000 yuan a month. In fact, it is still very comfortable to live here in the hive, after all, the houses in this city can be rented and purchased. This can be regarded as solving a large part of the economic problem.

But even so, Chen Ping'an occasionally misses his life in the other world. After all, in that world of Chinese martial arts, relying on the plug-in of the lucky draw is also very popular. I have also become the leader of the martial arts alliance!

Buy a hot rice ball at the breakfast point of the trolley at the entrance of the community, and watch the boss skillfully wrap meat floss, salted eggs, sesame sugar, pickles, and fried dough sticks into the blood glutinous rice ball. Chen Ping'an whispered for no reason: "It's better to be the leader of the martial arts alliance." You don't have to get up early to catch the bus, and you don't have to get up early in the morning to queue up for breakfast. You can drink soy milk and pour a bowl of it. ”

The boss who made the rice ball looked up at him: "I said that you are still thinking about the scenery in the other world? I was still in charge of black and white. Aren't you still coming back to make rice balls? ”

"No, your weird rice ball is wrapped, ten yuan. Alipay or WeChat. The owner of the breakfast shop, who used to dominate black and white in the other world, pointed to the QR code in front of the car.

Chen Ping'an took out his mobile phone and paid.

"You're also in the other world?

"Hmm. Otherwise, there is no other craft. At the beginning of the Atlas by relying on the monthly lucky wheel lottery in the other world, I drew a lot of powerful things. successfully ruled the black and white, but after returning to the earth, his strength exploded. "The breakfast cart owner arched his hand.

"So now I make money by selling breakfast during the day and working part-time as a security guard at a company in the afternoon. Now my strength is ah, I can only be a security guard, and no one will ask me to be a bodyguard. ”

The breakfast car owner said helplessly.

Chen Ping'an also bowed his head and said nothing, yes, his plug-in in the other world is also a lucky lottery system. After coming back, the strength was also greatly attenuated, but fortunately, my brain was still good, and after I came back, I was admitted to a university and re-studied the diploma by relying on the policy of returning to my hometown.

After graduating from college, he caught up with the establishment of Hive City, relying on his identity as a returnee, plus he also graduated from a serious 211 school. I've found a good position.

But every time he thinks of his life in the other world, Chen Ping'an always feels a little nostalgic, and even a little uneasy about the status quo.

"Gone. Chen Ping'an said hello to the breakfast car owner and hurried to the bus stop.

Hive has two bus systems, one is a bus flying sword and the other is a traditional bus. Short-distance buses, long-distance buses flying swords, this is everyone's choice for travel. Because the bus only costs two yuan, and the bus flying sword starts at ten yuan. Money is hard to make, is hard to eat, and if you can save it, you can save it.

Chen Ping'an came just right, and the No. 18 bus just entered the station. It's a quarter past seven in the morning, and it's the morning rush hour. It's almost November, and it's cold in the island city of the Hive.

Everyone was wearing thick coats, which made the bus more crowded.

"Oops, get back. ”

"What a squeeze, there's no place in the back, you think I don't want to go back!"

"Who, don't squeeze, step on my foot!"

Every morning in the morning rush hour, there is a rush of chickens and dogs jumping in the bus. Chen Ping'an finally squeezed into the bus, and barely found a small corner that could be used for the backrest, and he smiled with satisfaction.

On the morning rush hour bus or subway, the best place to have a seat is naturally. The second is to have a comfortable space where you can stand with your back against it.

Chen Ping'an took out the rice balls he bought in the breakfast car from his arms and was about to eat breakfast.

But an aunt next to him was not happy.

"Boy, you can't eat on the bus. You see it's so cold now, the windows in the car are closed and not ventilated. There are so many people in the car, you eat something, and the whole car will smell at that time. You've smelled yourself, and you've got a carload of people!"

"This is a rice ball, a ...... without a smell"

"You can't smell it, but others can! ”

Chen Ping'an looked around, and the eyes of many people in the car were projected. Chen Ping'an had to put the rice ball back into his arms again, and he had nothing to eat.

The bus staggered for 40 minutes, not because of the congestion in the morning rush hour in Hive City, but mainly because a private car collided with a battery car running around the traffic light on the way, occupying two-thirds of the road. Resulting in slow traffic speeds.

It usually takes 20 minutes to get there, but it takes twice as long.

This made Chen Ping'an have to rush to the company after getting out of the car, he didn't want to be late. If you are late, you will be deducted 100 yuan.

Hurriedly ran towards the company, hurried and hurried, and finally clocked in at 8:29 in the morning, not late, not late. Chen Ping'an's cold sweat came down. Just one minute away.

"Chen Ping'an, what about going to work on the spot?"

A cold and arrogant female voice sounded behind him, Chen Ping'an immediately turned around, and standing behind him was Wang Miaomiao, the head of the department. A woman in her thirties who graduated from a prestigious university.

"Wang, Director Wang. Traffic jams on the road. Chen Ping'an said embarrassedly.

Wang Miaomiao glared at him: "I know that there will be a traffic jam on the road, so I can't go out a few minutes earlier?

Chen Ping'an was wronged by this, and there were only two times this month, even today, when he arrived at the time point, he usually arrived at the company ten minutes in advance.

But Chen Ping'an really can't argue with her, after all, she is the supervisor.

Chen Ping'an could only nod again and again: "Not next time, not next time." ”

"Be careful. You are recruited into the company because of the talent attraction policy for returnees, and I don't want to drag down the work efficiency of our department because of you! Hurry up and start work, and sort out yesterday's meeting materials before 11 o'clock in the morning!" Wang Miaomiao turned around and left.

Looking at Wang Miaomiao's back, Chen Ping'an's hands were pinched to death, he really wanted to kill this stinky woman with a sword finger. Yesterday's meeting lasted so long, and there were so many materials, and it was all sorted out before eleven o'clock?

But Chen Ping'an could only obediently return to his post in the end and work hard to sort out all the information. After pouring himself three cans of Red Bull, he barely managed to sort out the information before twelve o'clock. For this reason, he also suffered a few beatings from Wang Miaomiao. And he has to be careful.

At twelve o'clock for lunch, Chen Ping'an was about to order takeout, and when he took out his mobile phone, he found that he still had something in his arms. When I took it out, it turned out to be rice balls I bought in the morning, but now they are all cold. Only now did Chen Ping'an react, he didn't eat breakfast.

"Hey...... I want to go back to the old world. How nice it is to be a free-spirited knight. Even if you don't have the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, it's okay. Chen Ping'an took a bite of the cold rice ball, and sighed secretly.

Pick up your phone and swipe the news, I worked too late yesterday, and I don't even have time to swipe my phone every day.

When Chen Ping'an was wasting his life and time on the Internet without purpose, one such news attracted his attention.

[The U.S. government has publicly issued a statement that they have officially opened the door to the other world, and they have opened it three times.] The president bluntly stated that Washington's otherworldly invasion was inextricably linked to the three open-door experiments. 】

Chen Ping'an forgot to eat his own rice balls for a while.
