Chapter 34 Other Supplements
Promi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked again: "What if you don't have a barcode and go directly to the blind date competition?" After all, some people's skin color is not so obvious. ”
"When you sign up, you need your hygiene management code. When it comes to receiving the health management code, the people of the health management committee are very professional. They will be very serious about judging your skin tone. Whether you are a black-skinned person or a non-black-skinned person, you will definitely be very clear. In fact, for those of us who are not black-skinned, the hygiene management code is already determined as soon as we are born. It's written on your health management registration certificate. Red Shaw said.
Promi listened, but did not speak for a long time. It turns out that in a disease-free world, the health management code is equivalent to the unique identification code of each person. Of course, the poor can also have a health management code at birth, but they are reluctant to register.
Originally, I thought that there was no disease in a disease-free world, but there was just the disadvantage of not having taste. I didn't expect that there is such serious skin color discrimination in this world.
A person who is born poor once his parents are pauper. Throughout his life, it is very difficult to get rid of this identity. And the price of escaping being barcoded is that they don't have any job opportunities and can't leave the neighborhood where they were born. The only thing that can be kept is hope.
I hope that one day I can wash off my complexion and put on the identity of a poverty resettler. Regardless of whether this route is illegal or not.
However, if you receive a health management code, you just have a formal identity. It's nothing more than the ability to buy relevant supplements normally, and to accept low-paying jobs, and there are no other benefits. It's no wonder that they would rather stay in the neighborhood where they were born than be coded for sanitation management.
Promi's 57th branch and the 39th Street Health Management Committee branch stayed at their street corner all day, and not many people came to pick up the supplements. It was a little dark, and the members of the 39th Street Health Management Committee branch were ready to leave. Of course, the people at the TV station have long since run away without a trace.
Dean Green must have withdrawn with them. He instructed everyone to quickly pack up their things, dismantle the booth, put it on the car, and pack up all the other things.
As a result, when packing up the supplement, a colleague accidentally knocked off the box containing the supplement, and the box fell to the ground and cracked, and the dark blue trace element supplement spilled on the ground.
"Oops, why are you so careless. Hurry up and clean up, and wait until it's dark. ”
Dean Green poked his head out, urging anxiously. At this time, Dean Green had already gotten into the car and started the car. The security personnel of the 39th Street Sanitation Management Committee Branch had already left ahead of the Sanitation Management Committee Branch. The colleague was also a little flustered.
"I'll pick it up. Promi said.
Seeing Promi crouching down to pick up the tonic, the colleague put the box in front of Promi as if he was desperate, and hurriedly climbed into the back of the Green Dean's pickup truck.
Promy picked it up roughly, and quietly looked back to see that everyone else had already gotten into the car and was waiting for him. Promi picked up a few leaves from the side and covered the tonic that had fallen on the ground. Then I closed the box of supplements and prepared to leave.
"Did you get the pink supplement?"
Suddenly, someone asked Promi, startling him. When I looked up, it was still the girl I had seen last time. She hid in the corner not far from their booth.
Promi shook her head, uncovered the leaves again, and showed her the dark blue trace element tonic that had fallen to the ground. Then Promi got up, got into the car, and followed Dean Green and the others back.
On the way back, Promi quietly asked Red Shaw again, "Do we have pink supplements in our branch?" ”
"Yes, but you have to look for him to get it. Hong Xiaodai secretly pointed to the green dean who was driving.
"What's the use of this supplement? Why didn't I see it in the common supplement documentation? Promi asked again.
"The pink tonic is called a reborn tonic, and it's very powerful. The main thing is to make people's skin tone more beautiful. Red Shaw said.
"Becoming pretty?" Promi asked, confused.
"Well, to put it simply, it's white. Red Shaw said.
"This pink tonic is very attractive to people in the slums. Why don't we bring some with them this time? Promi asked again.
"You're stupid. This supplement is very expensive, and it's not something you can buy with money. At the very least, you must have a health management code before you can purchase it. The supplements in our drawers are all big road goods, and they are almost given away for free. His tonic is the treasure. Otherwise, why do you think his office needs a safe? ”
Red Xiao pointed to Dean Green and whispered again.
"And this pink tonic sounds like it's sold to people in the slums?" asked Promi again.
"Anyone can buy it. Normal people also have skin tones that are not so good, and they can also buy them to improve skin tone, but they don't have much effect. So, most of them are still bought by people in the slums. However, if you have a health management code on your arm, it means that you are a pauper. What's the point of getting better even if your complexion gets better? Red Shaw said.
"Therefore, it is better to turn the skin tone white first, and then find a way to get a normal person's health management code, so that you can become a non-black-skinned person. Promi said again.
"Hehe, you better not ask too much. Anyway, none of this is our business. Red Shaw said.
It didn't take long for them to return to the Fifty-Seventh Branch. It's long past the end of work. Dean Midori told everyone that he had worked hard and went back. He didn't pursue the matter of spilling the tonic on the ground, maybe it was a loss.
On the way home, Promi had mixed feelings. I didn't expect that the disease-free world was so gloomy. The beautiful girl who asked for pink tonic was going to stay in the slum just because she had a bad complexion. And herself, apparently, there is nothing she can do to help her get pink supplements.
There are also people who want black supplements, and they can't figure it out.
Promi thought about the girl who handed out dinner packets the last time she went to the slums. I don't seem to remember the barcode on her arm. Where did she come from? Why wasn't she afraid to be in the slums? Why was she given out free meal kits? How did the black-skinned people who had no status and couldn't go out to work properly get food?
