Clean. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This was the first impression in Zhou Ming's mind.

The streets, overpasses, houses, and roads in front of you are extremely clean, spotless, and under the same pure sunlight, like crystals of various colors, the smooth surface reflects the glittering luster.

The second is quiet.

There is hardly any noise on the side of the road, no roar of car engines, no horns, no music of shops opening, and passers-by are polite and rarely talking, and they try not to make loud noises when walking.

There is also the incomparably fresh air with a smell of plants, tall and magnificent buildings, garden-like green belts, large lawns that are neater than football fields, and high-tech that can be seen everywhere, like science fiction movies.

Yes, the world's technology, just from the point of view of transportation, may be a century ahead of the earth.

Maglev tracks are everywhere, there are maglev trains on viaducts, a group of several sections, can carry hundreds of passengers, running around the city, you can reach most of the places you want to reach in the city, or go to other cities.

There is also a magnetic track for maglev cars to drive on the middle and low floors, and it is a wide two-way six-lane road, which is set up at an intersection, and there are almost no traffic lights.

There is also a kind of pedestrian suspension road for pedestrians, this suspension road is only more than one meter wide, a kind of skateboard style personal transportation can be suspended on it, called "suspension flyboard", the flight speed can reach more than 30 kilometers per hour, in addition there is a kind of suspension board vehicle with an ancient bicycle pedal, can generate electricity through the pedal, carry out suspension flight, this "suspension bicycle", both energy saving and environmental protection, and exercise, and can be rented at a lower price, very popular with middle-aged and elderly people.

There are also advertisements that use three-dimensional projection technology to appear in the air between high-rise buildings, "smart communication devices" that can project pictures on the wrists of many pedestrians, AR glasses worn on their eyes, and so on...... All told Zhou Ming that the magical technology of this world has brought infinite convenience to people's daily life.

In addition, in this city called "Yaoxing City", the proportion of robot applications is quite high, there are a large number of solar-powered sweeping robots on the road, there are robot shopping guides in the store to help sell goods, and the police who maintain law and order also have strong robot partners around them; as for the fully automated factories that Zhou Ming did not see, the number of workers needed under the work of various robots may only be a few people.

While walking, he walked around the city like a bun for most of the day, gurgling, Zhou Ming's stomach was hungry, he found a place to eat and fill his stomach.

"Drop~"

Swiped the electronic consumption card, in a noodle restaurant, bought a bowl of hot udon noodles, spent 10 credits, a large amount, some green onions floating on it, the taste is also quite good, I can't see that this is made by a smart kitchen robot.

In the afternoon, I took the maglev train around the city a few times, and enjoyed the scenery of the whole city, but when I got out of the station, I actually swiped 36 credits, which surprised Zhou Ming, who originally thought that it would only cost a few credits, but I didn't expect these maglev trains to be so smart, they can count the distance of each passenger, and then charge according to the distance, not that you can sit casually when you go in.

So for dinner, Zhou Ming saved a little, spent 6 credits, bought a bag of bread in the store, and bought a bottle of mineral water for 2 credits, and ate a little half-full.

At the end of the day, tired of shopping, Zhou Ming wanted to find a hotel to rest and sleep, take a hot bath, but after looking for most of the night, he found a cheap hotel with a single room of 50 credits a night, after walking into this single room, Zhou Ming was surprised, a three-square-meter room, smaller than the area of the cell, and there was no bed, just lying on the smooth floor, and then sleeping with a blanket, if it was not for providing free hot water for bathing, he would rather sleep on the street than sleep in this kind of place.

After getting up the next day, I remembered the credit points on the electronic consumption card, which cost less than 400 points in just one day, and the rest of the money could only last for a few days at most.

However, at the end of the day, in this medium-sized city with a population of one million, Zhou Ming was shocked to find that no matter where he was, he could not even see a "job posting" or a job advertisement.

So he went into some stores with a thick face, found the store manager or manager, and asked them if there was a shortage of people in the store, he wanted to find a job, and the requirements were not very high in terms of salary.

"Sorry, there's no shortage of people in our store. ”

"I'm sorry, sir, but our store doesn't recruit people. ”

"No recruitment, no recruitment for all positions. ”

"Boy, you've just come up from the lower districts, you don't know much about the rules here, so if you want to find a job, I can help you, but there is one condition. The owner of a smart glasses repair shop, after seeing Zhou Ming, his eyes lit up, and he said in a charming tone.

"What conditions?" Zhou Ming frowned slightly, and asked in his ear.

"Give me that money you have, and I'll promise to help you find a job that is easy and pays well. The repair shop owner said with his eyes fixed on Zhou Ming's jacket pocket, with a greedy light in his eyes.

"Really?" Zhou Ming asked with a slight smile.

"Really, really. He nodded, his words becoming a little urgent.

"That ......"

Zhou Ming gestured to open the zipper and wanted to take out the money, but just when the repair shop owner's eyes became extremely hot and he reached out to take it, he suddenly picked up the cup of tea on the table and walked out, and said to him with the back of his head: "This job is still left to others, thank you for the tea." ”

"Bastard, you dare to fool me!"

The owner of the repair shop let out an angry roar, and when he saw that Zhou Ming had already walked away, he could only yell at his back: "Dirty lower district rat, you can't find any work, and in a few days, you will roll into your dirty sewer!"

Zhou Ming paused, thought for a while, and then continued to move forward.

Things turned out to be as expected by the owner of the repair shop, and in the next three days, Zhou Ming still got nothing, and the credit points on his body were less than 200 points.

In order to save money, he went to the cheapest poor people's restaurant and bought a compressed nutritious meal for 5 credits (it tasted exactly the same as the compressed nutritious meal he had eaten in the underground mining area for 18 years); when he was in a hurry, he found a place to defecate in the open (it costs money to go to the public toilet, 1 credit point once); at night he did not sleep in a hotel, but lay on a bench in the park for the night, and when it rained, he went to squat under the eaves of the building for a while.

On the fifth day, Zhou Ming, who asked thousands of stores through various methods, completely lost confidence in finding a job, and seeing that he was so urgent to find a job, more and more "enthusiastic people" took the initiative or semi-initiative to express their intention to help him and recommend a job to him.

Of course, the premise is that the money in his pocket should be given to him (her) as an introduction fee.

Zhou Ming politely rejected all these "good intentions", gradually gave up the idea of finding a job, and began to think about what to do in order to continue to survive after the credit points were spent.

"Little one, how are you looking for a job lately? In the past two days, the whole city has been talking about you, saying that you stinky rat haven't even handed over the money, so get out of here...... Therefore, it is up to me to be the hero of this city. ”

This night, a rare obese man, wearing a large metal chain around his neck, holding a baseball bat, and a few colorful little brothers with dyed hair, came to Zhou Ming sleeping on a park bench, after making this sound, Zhou Ming opened his eyes, immediately sat up from the chair, rubbed his fists and said to them: "Why have you only come here now? A city with a population of one million, only a few bastards have come out? Should the public security be so good?"

The fat boss was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious: "Brothers, kill him! A low-level stinky rat dares to pretend to be forced in front of my fat boss?

"Ahh

"Oops!"

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

"Don't fight, don't fight, please don't fight!"

Ten minutes later, including the fat boss, seven or eight people lay on the ground, screaming, the fat boss led by the most miserable, his hand was discounted, not to mention, his face was also blue and swollen, he was beaten into a pig's head, and begged for mercy again and again.

It's almost time to vent, grabbing the fat boss's hair, dragging him to the bench, first two big-mouthed melon seeds over, fanning out two mouthfuls of bloody teeth, and then interrogating some questions.

Two hours later, after asking the answers to most of the questions, Zhou Ming called the fat boss and transferred all the credits on their bodies to his electronic consumption card (the electronic consumption card needs fingerprint matching when it is used, and it can't be used directly to grab it), a total of more than 8,000 credits, and then called a green hair who is about the same size as him, took off his clothes, and put his mouse suit (the blue clothes provided by the hospital, the citizens of this city, call it "mouse suit" behind his back) , which is also the sign of the entrant in the lower district) changed and put on this set of clothes that were full of holes and looked like they were flowing and airy.

Early the next morning, after spending 200 credits, taking a hovering taxi, and reporting a location, Zhou Ming finally found a place to find a job in the lobby of the 99th floor of a 119-story building in the center of the city.

Or, it should be said, it is possible to "buy" to the place of work.

This place, called the "Career Exchange", can be seen on the information panel in the center of the hall for any job transaction.
