The three of them came to the front counter with their bags. Although everyone knows that the lottery organized by the supermarket is a typical black box operation, almost no customers have won the prize, and sometimes it even makes people suspect that it is simply an empty gimmick, using the name of the lottery to deceive people to spend.

In front of them, there were already six people lining up for the draw.

The whole lottery process is very simple, just reach into a box and draw out the folded lottery ticket. Of course, most of the people draw out "thank you for coming", and this "most" includes everyone in front of them. But anyway, there is no business, and customers have the idea of "I am fortunate to get it, but I will lose my life", so there will be no problems.

"We can draw three cards in total, one for each person. Wu Bing said.

"How do you distribute the things you draw?" the slut asked.

"Whoever draws it will be whomever it is. Wu Bing said. "Maybe whoever wins the jackpot is not a good score. ”

That being said, none of the three of them actually thought about what prizes they would draw. The slut also made a special remark. If nothing else, you won't see the common prizes piled up into a hill of ordinary lottery prizes at this counter alone. This in itself shows that the odds of success in the lottery are very low, or that they are bluffing at all. But as mentioned earlier, this lottery opportunity is a free gift after the purchase amount reaches a certain level, and no one cares too much about free things.

The first lottery was Wu Bing, and it was an unsurprising "Thank you for coming". followed by Ren Jian, and the lottery result was exactly the same as Wu Bing. The third one was Lu Wu's turn.

"Hey, Lu Wu, show your amazing strength in the lottery. The slut said with a smile. "That's the best way to prove your luck. ”

Lu Wu took out a small piece of paper from the box with only a small round opening, didn't bother to scratch it, and handed it directly to the waiter. The waiter at the counter scratches off the ticket and gives a congratulatory sound.

"Congratulations, sir, you've won!"

Hearing this, several people on the side, including the two customers who had just scratched the "thank you for coming", stopped and turned their heads to look this way.

"The prize is a free household appliance provided by the supermarket. The waiter said. She spoke to her companion, who immediately hurried into a small storeroom next to her and brought out a cardboard box for electrical appliances.

"What is this?" Lu Wu asked. This box is not like a normal electrical appliance, and there is no photo of the appliance on the outside. But judging from the way it looks, it's not big or heavy, it's definitely not an electric fan. In addition to this, a thin layer of ash has accumulated on top of the carton, indicating that it has been sitting for at least a long time, perhaps a few months.

"It's a prize appliance," the waiter emphasized. "You can open it yourself. The meaning of this sentence is that she doesn't know what's inside the cardboard box.

"Can I change an electric fan?" Lu Wu asked. It's not that he doesn't want to change other appliances, it's that he estimates that this thing that doesn't know what kind of appliance is not very valuable, and it can't be exchanged for anything else. It's still hot, and he needs an electric fan. The most important thing is that the current electric fan is not expensive, and it is only a few dozen yuan at a price.

"Sorry, the prizes cannot be exchanged. The waiter said politely.

When they returned to their accommodation, the three friends opened the cardboard box of the mysterious electrical appliance.

"What is this?" The three realized that it wasn't any of the appliances they had expected, as the plastic foam was pulled out of the plastic foam. Originally, they thought it was supposed to be a rice cooker, an electronic saucepan, or even an electric teapot or something, but what they actually came up with was an appliance they had never seen before.

The whole appliance pole is divided into two layers, like a plastic box that has been torn down from the four walls, leaving only four pillars at the four corners to support. In the middle of the box is a transparent pyramid-shaped object. There was only one switch on the appliance that seemed to start the power, but there was no other button to be fine-tuned.

In addition, the whole appliance is made of white plastic, which looks high-end and atmospheric, and at the same time, it is completely impossible to see what it is used for.

"What is this?" the slut looked at for a long time. "Humidifier? It only has one switch. There's a smoke exit over here?"

"It obviously can't hold water. Wu Bing immediately retorted. "You see, the crack is quite big over here, and the water will flow out as soon as it goes in. And this thing looks more like a microphone to me. ”

"Look at the manual......" Lu Wu took out the manual from the box and shook it towards the two friends. "It's called a holoera. ”

"Holoera, according to the translation, it should be called the Holographic Era? What a strange name, I've never heard of it...... What is it for? I looked, it was like a repeater for a wireless network or something. The slut asked, scrutinizing it. "This transparent pyramid in the middle...... I guess it's supposed to be ...... By the way, what does the instruction manual say?"

"The instructions don't say it. Lu Wu handed the instruction manual to the slut.

Ren Jian flipped through it, and like most electrical appliances, Holoera's manual was a thin booklet, and the content on it was so simple that he didn't even understand what it was for. The instructions only illustrate how to use them with pictures. In fact, the way to use it is really simple, pure nonsense: plug in the power, turn on the switch, connect to WIFI and so on. There are also several "common troubleshooting" instructions attached.

"Just plug it in and see. Lu Wu said.

The power was plugged in and the switch was pressed, but ...... Nothing seems to work. If you have to say, only the power indicator on the Holoera is on. I really don't understand what it does now.

"Wait, let me see the instructions...... It wants to even be WIFI......" Wu Bing also flipped through the manual. "It really looks like it's a network-related router or something. Oh, and the manufacturing company is called the Dogtail Company...... What kind of company is this? I've never heard of it. ”

"Is there a trumpet flower?" Ren Jian asked casually.

"Hah...... But the name sounds like a high-tech company. It should be a network supply, our WIFI ......"

"It's due. Even the router was packed and given to the outdated. The slut said.

This strange thing called Holoera, my mother couldn't tell what it could be used for. But according to the manual, I'm afraid it won't be of much use for the time being. Soon, the Holoera was put back in the box.

Time passes quietly amid music and mobile phones. When everyone was lying on the bed and the lights were turned off and ready to go to bed, I don't know why, Wu Bing brought up the previous topic again.

"Lu Wu, do you believe in superpowers...... Supernatural powers?"

"I don't believe it. Lu Wu replied. "If there is some unknown force in this world, it is certainly not the one we talk about in our myths and superstitions. Rather, it is an objective law or something that science has not yet discovered and correctly understood. ”

"Haha, have you ever imagined that one day you will meet a fairy...... Just like what was said in Liaozhai, all of a sudden, the five sons were in the department, the house, the car, the lady, the ticket, and the son all had it?"

"Haha......" Lu Wu laughed. What man would not have this kind of little delusion? It's just a little delusion before lying in bed and falling asleep, and it can't be brought into reality.

And the company I went to yesterday...... The décor is really stylish. It's just the door.,But you can see that there are several beautiful girls inside.。 It's a pity......

His mind slowly sank into sleep.

The box containing the holoera had been closed, so none of the three of them noticed that the power indicator on the odd appliance called "holoera" was slowly going out at this moment, after so much time from unplugging.

Everyone knows that there is a delay between when an appliance is off and when the power indicator goes off, usually a few seconds, and a few appliances are delayed for a longer time, ten seconds, maybe a little longer. But no matter what the appliance is, it's impossible for the power indicator to go off after nearly two hours of power failure.

……

"Alright, that's it. ”

The installer from China Telecom turned on the router, then skillfully connected the router with his mobile phone and entered the password. In a few minutes, the mobile phone opened the web page smoothly.

"Thank you. Lu Wu also smoothly connected to the Internet on his mobile phone.

The telecom installer said goodbye and left, and now, Lu Wu finally had time to take a closer look at his new home.

The entire third floor is about fifty or sixty square meters in size and is divided into three rooms (and a bathroom). However, perhaps because it was originally planned to be used as a warehouse rather than as housing, it was not all separated by brick walls, and some of the walls were made of a thin, unreliable-looking plastic panel. But it doesn't matter, because there is only Lu Wu alone in the household.

Two rooms were used as bedrooms by the landlord, while the other room had a table and a few chairs, which could be used as a study, dining room, kitchen, or even mixed. These are all the furniture left by the landlord to Lu Wu. The two bedrooms each have a window that opens to each side of the house. On one side, you can see the bustling and cluttered streets of the suburban junction below, and on the other side, you can see a small river that is neither very dark nor smelly by the standards of the city. As long as the windows are closed, there will be no smell. In addition, there are occasional boats passing by on the creek.

This is the home for some time to come. Lu Wu suddenly found that the situation was not as bad as he thought. As long as you relax, it's actually not bad. After all, this was the first place he had lived on his own.

That's right, it's a good place, and it can also help to learn about firefighting, and it is estimated that there will often be a free real version of the Crazy Boy to watch.

From today onwards, you will officially live on your own in this city, first of all......

The phone rang, interrupting his exclamation. He put the phone to his ear, and his mother's familiar voice rang on the phone.

"Ah, Mom, I've got a job here, and I've found a place to live...... Very nice place...... Well, a large foreign trade company does equipment maintenance...... Salary, haha, I haven't gotten it yet, I don't know how much...... But for such a large company, it shouldn't be too low...... Yes, nice place to stay, a closed community. Well, I rented it from a friend, and the area is not large, but it is enough to live...... Yes, I live alone...... Okay, I'll go back during the Chinese New Year...... I'm starting to earn money, so I don't have to give it...... Well, I still have a little living expenses here, enough for the first month. ”

He put down the phone. Walk to the window and look out at the crowded and noisy streets below, full of passers-by and vendors, and littered with garbage.

Mom's tone...... Maybe it's the mother-son connection, or maybe it's his own hypocrisy. But he always felt that his mother seemed to sense something.

It shouldn't matter, though. He thought to himself. In fact, Ren Jian is very right, good jobs are hard to find, but if it is a transitional job, then you can find it everywhere. All we have to do today is take care of our new home. There's a bunch of moving stuff to deal with.

The demon sent the gods, and he didn't touch anything else, but he took out the holoera. Plug it in and press the switch.

"Great! Finally connected!" an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded.
