Volume 1 Wearing Books Against the Times Chapter 1 Weird and Weird World?
Night market, on the wine stalls.
"Sir, you ...... I really can't drink it, how many bottles are there!" The stall owner was a short, middle-aged man with a large black cloth bag hanging in front of him, and the bag already contained a lot of wine money. At the moment, he was persuading a customer with a difficult face.
There were already many wine bottles on the table in front of the man, and there was a large box of empty bottles under the table.
Hearing this, the man hung his head and ignored it, his thin hair covered the madness under his eyes, and he laughed stupidly. The stall owner who was laughing couldn't help but take half a step back, and whispered timidly to himself, "Aren't you drunk and drunk?"
Before the words fell, I saw the man in a dark color sweeping his eyes sharply.
Fortunately, the dangerous feeling lasted for less than half a second, and the man turned his head, took out the red ticket from his arms, slapped it on the table, and said to himself: "The beer doesn't taste enough, let's have some more old white dry!"
The corner of the stall owner's mouth twitched and he didn't take the money.
Although as the saying goes, if you have a deal, you don't do bastards, but this master is too fierce, and this is the iron stomach that has to be pierced. It's not easy for him to make a little money by setting up a stall in this night market at his age, and if he drinks until he vomits blood in front of everyone, he will be sent to the hospital.
Not to mention the high cost of medical treatment, the multilingual women on this street may not know how to arrange him!
So the stall owner, who was sweating profusely, had to continue to persuade him with kind words: "No, that, a big man's family, what's the trouble that can't be overcome, so you have to toss yourself here?"
"Huh. The man scoffed and turned his head. A pair of red eyes looked at the stall owner fixedly, and his eyes were scattered as if they were not focused. The person who looked straight at it sighed softly, "What do you know?"
The stall owner who said a few words wanted to lift the table - how do I know what you are pretentious about! But sir, don't be crazy about drinking on my stall!
After being bored for a long time, the stall owner finally held back a few words of thunder: "If you don't say it, how do you know that I don't understand?"
"Three months ago. I was fired from the company......"
"Huh? Isn't it just a job! My brother listened to my advice, and instead of being indignant here, he should quickly find another job. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the man slapped the table in a rage like a child who had been robbed of candy.
For a while, the wine bottles on the table and under the ground were shattered, and the hoarse voice accompanied by the man's laughter was particularly terrifying.
The stall owner looked at the man in front of him who was almost crazy with some confusion, he didn't expect to step on people's sore feet just by saying it casually.
"You, you, don't drink it......" Just when he didn't know what to do, he heard the man say coldly, "Thank you boss for your concern." ”
The man sobbed and staggered to his feet, propping himself up on the table. A pair of eyes are amazingly bright, as bright as glass, not soaked in the slightest drunkenness.
The stall owner chuckled in his heart, only to hear the man sigh, "I've almost drunk it." This is leaving, and the wine money is all right. Don't delay your business. ”
Although it is not obvious on the face, but so many bottles of wine are in the stomach, the man is still top-heavy, and his steps are vain and tentative. It seems to be stepping on cotton flowers under the soles of the feet. The stall owner was in a complicated mood, took a few deep breaths, and wanted to help him, but was refused.
He patiently persuaded him, "Borrowing wine to eliminate sorrow and sorrow, why don't you tell me, and you should dump psychological garbage." ”
"What's the use of taking out the trash?hahahahahaha......hahahaha
Crystal clear, rolling down in the eye sockets, strung together to form a curtain, leaving a faint trace. After laughing, the man sang a ballad in a low voice, the vague tone that was so low that his ears could hardly distinguish it, but he unexpectedly had a feeling of vocal exhaustion.
The stall owner shuddered as he looked at the chilling smile on the man's face. When he sighed and was about to close the stall, he heard the man say, "Drink to eliminate your sorrows?"
"Unprovoked willfulness, not strong heart, as hypocritical as a woman. After all, I buried myself. ”
"If there is an afterlife, it must be ...... No, am I the one who has changed beyond recognition?"
"I ...... Just, don't want to, alone. ”
"So, I care so much about you, why do you have to say leave so easily?"
"Because it was so easy, forget it, I still have ......"
"Ha, and myself. I...... I'm the only one left......"
"Bang. The man fell down violently, slamming his head on the wooden table beside him with a crisp sound. The stall owner came almost at a fast speed, exclaiming, "Sir, sir!"
What's even more dizzying is that after the man passed out, the stamina of many spirits also came up. The man's breathing with a strong smell of alcohol gradually weakened, and his mind was chaotic, and only the unfinished "self" remained.
Yes, even if everyone in the world is my enemy. I still have myself.
I like this kind of thing very much, so why should I change it for the sake of those who hate me?
I'm going to do what I love!
The rain outside the window was very heavy, and the raindrops that fell rapidly in the cold wind slanted on the window, painting a clear rain curtain. Qi Yuan closed his eyes tightly, and leaned back on the back of the chair with a pale face, looking very uncomfortable.
"Do you need to open a little window?" Seeing this, the girl sitting by the window on Qi Yuan's right hand asked with some concern.
"Open the window, and the rain will blow in, stupid!" the boy across from the girl scratched her nose with some amusement. Instead, he handed a plastic bag to Qi Yuan:
"Lin Jiyan, don't bear it if it's uncomfortable, spit it out the bag, get out of the car and throw it away in a while. ”
Hearing this, Qi Yuan, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, finally opened his eyes, "You called me?"
The young man was choked, glanced at him unhappily, and turned around and grabbed the sleeve of the girl in white with a smile: "Zicheng, this guy can't be shaken out of his mind by riding in the car, and his memories are all washed away with the vomit." Do you want to ......?"
The gentle girl who was called Zicheng was a little disgusted when she heard this: "It's not because you always run the train with your mouth full of mouth, so you don't invite Brother Ji Yan to see you." ”
"Why, it's ...... Ming"
Listening to the flirting between the two, Qi Yuan's expression became more and more solemn. He doesn't remember when he changed his name, and he has two more extremely familiar and slimy "little" friends.
Pursing his lips slightly, Qi Yuan silently looked at this unfamiliar environment. The stuffy closed trunk, the rusty iron windows, and the setting of a table for four people make it feel like riding a train.
On Qi Yuan's right hand sat the white-clothed girl named Zi Cheng, although her face was beautiful, she always had a smile on her face that was not warm. It seems to be a pair of early love children with the teenager who talks to himself very much.
Apart from them, there were only a few passengers in the carriage. Outside the car window, there was also a barren greenery, which gave Qi Yuan a headache, so he had to ask: "Where are we going?"
"Huh?"
Qi Yuan asked again. At the end, he added as if he felt that it was inappropriate: "I get motion sickness, but I'm really a little confused." ”
"No, Brother Ji Yan, didn't you say you were going to take us somewhere?" Zi Cheng rarely put away his smile and raised his eyebrows a little meaninglessly.
"Where is it?" Qi Yuan ignored their slightly sharp gaze.
"Hey. The boy sneered, "Where did you say you were going?" Could it be that it is really wine that strengthens people's courage, or is there some bear's heart and leopard gall contained in the lunch box just now? What are you...... Do you want to go back?"
"Brother Ji Yan?"
Qi Yuan got up with a little headache, what a thing this is.
"I went to the toilet and threw up. With that, Qi Yuan grabbed the mini travel backpack that had been lying quietly at his feet since just now.
Just as he was about to get up, the young man kicked his leg domineeringly, pressing the crumbling plastic table and falling down to block Qi Yuan's way. The face was full of provocation, "People can go, bags stay." ”
Qi Yuan ignored him, but instead looked at Zicheng. This charming woman was leaning against the window with a playful face, watching the farce like a fierce cat playing with its paws.
Seeing Qi Yuan staring at her intently, she turned her head and smiled, "Brother Ji Yan, I won't go back forever." Right?" The tone was clearly questioning, but she said a sense of undoubtedness.
Like a king with full certainty in his strategy. The boy himself also understands her. The obedient put away his claws and surrendered willingly.
Qi Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth, picked up his bag and walked sideways. This kind of psychological oppression tactic is used by this little sister perfectly.
But for him, it didn't work.
Along the narrow aisle, at the intersection of the two carriages, there was a very simple cubicle.
The small door to the cubicle was locked, and it was obvious that someone was inside.
Qi Yuan waited quietly on the side, ready to wait for someone to come out, and then go in and rummage over the original backpack to judge the situation. However, as soon as the man came out, Qi Yuan changed his mind.
It was a girl with a long stream of thin and thin seas, and a low ponytail. The eyes are large and dark golden, and the corners of the slightly raised eyes are freehand dotted with a star of red plums.
Sickly pale skin was revealed under the peach-like half-discontinued sleeves, and the top of her wrists were messily tied with long bandages soaked in scattered blood.
"Is there anything wrong?" the girl asked, raising her eyebrows, a little displeased to be stared at so rudely. Qi Yuan was stunned when he heard this, withdrew his too straightforward gaze, and turned sideways to make way for the girl.
"I'm sorry, it's Meng Lang for a while. After a pause, he asked: "I get motion sickness, I sleep groggily all day long, and I don't know if I have slept or not." May I ask where this train is going?"
"It's fine. Where are you going? Stop at the edge of Sanli Town now, and you'll be at the terminal in a few hours. ”
"Terminal?"
"You don't know?" the girl couldn't help but glance at Qi Yuan.
I saw that under his thin-framed gold wire glasses, a pair of apricot eyes narrowed slightly because of the smile, and the slender curly eyelashes were like butterflies about to fly, and the appearance set off became more and more handsome.
It is the proud gesture that the locals have always looked forward to the most, and it has not been available for a long time.
"Could it be that it is a return from other provinces? Don't get on the wrong bus, right?" the girl looked surprised, as if to say that she had never seen someone so confused.
"Probably. Well, you're in the front car, and if I can, can I go and squeeze in with you? ”
"This, I'm going to go down in Sanli Town. I'm going to get out of the car anyway, why don't you go to my place and sit in my place? There are quite a lot of people, and it's convenient for you to ask for directions. Seat number 108. ”
"Ah, thank you! Qi Yuan watched the girl leave gratefully. However, the figure in water-colored clothes and bandages, although unfamiliar, always made him feel an indescribable sense of familiarity.
This little episode was quickly forgotten by him, but Qi Yuan was not in a hurry to go to another carriage. He went into the cubicle of the toilet, emptied the contents of the travel backpack, and turned it upside down.
There are a lot of things in the bag, most of which are daily necessities. There are only three things that are special in Qi Yuan's opinion.
One of them is a black-leather document. Qi Yuan picked around, but found that he couldn't open it anyway. I have no choice but to give up.
The second is a notebook as thick as a dictionary Qi Yuan flipped through it, it was all blank, and I don't know what the original owner intended to stuff such a thick notebook into his bag after he had a smart phone, and use it as a weapon?
"Ahh
Qi Yuan held his forehead, dared to stop this poisonous brain hole, reached out and continued to dig in the pile of debris, and it took a long time to completely separate the third thing-
A piece of plasticine?
I don't know what these things are for...... But in a world where the background of this world seems to be somewhat delicate, it is by no means simple.
After packing up all kinds of useless sundries, Qi Yuan decisively went to the previous train box.
"No. 108...... No. 108 ......" whispered, Qi Yuan began to look left and right to find a seat, observing the environment by the way.
Compared with the sparse population of the previous train box, there is a lot more mixed here. Dragging the neighbors to sit and pull homely things, watch TV, instant noodles, everything, and it is not much different from the train situation in Qi Yuan's previous world.
Although it is not a crowd, the seats are really not enough, and even the fire box is crowded with people, but the square inch where the girl is is is empty.
It's just that whether it is the mottled and decayed green train, or the scene of the passengers with yellow muscles and thin eyes and empty eyes, they are all extremely familiar...... Where do you think you've seen it?
However, before Qi Yuan could think about it carefully, he found that the only remaining four-seater in the front row of the train box was completely occupied by a girl wearing a jet-black peaked cap.
Even more coincidentally, seat 108 was right next to the cap girl's seat! But strangely, the rest of the people seemed to be out of sight, and even the ticket inspector on the train flashed by.
It's ...... It's like a ghost!
Qi Yuan grabbed the original backpack with some weak legs, and just wanted to turn around and leave, because the train was about to arrive at the station, and the flow of people in the trunk was not pushed to that weird corner.
The girl in the cap looked at the information in her system and was a little confused: "This ...... What's the function of partner binding?When did I bind this Ji senior......
"Oh, my little ancestor, you summoned me out in such a hurry, I thought something was wrong with you!"
She rolled her eyes at her host helplessly, and patiently explained:
"It's okay, this is the company's recent handover of the old and the new, yesterday you failed the mission and was slapped in the face by that monster and have been asleep until now. ”
"In the process of escorting you to the transit station, I took it upon myself to bind you with a retired senior. Seeing that the forest sparrow was silent and did not speak, the system Xiaolu did not care, and continued to think in pieces:
"I don't know what kind of shit luck you have taken, a guy with a mediocre life resume and just an ordinary lonely ghost after his death, he was lucky enough to enter our unit and was assigned to the gold medal system like mine......"
"Tsk, it was the same yesterday, there is obviously a bad punishment for failing the mission, and there are still fewer salted fish under the soul-inducing magic sound of my subordinates? ”
"Seeing that you are in good luck, the people above also asked me to let you join the company's recent promotion of the handover of the old and the new. It's also a coincidence.,They haven't looked for a suitable candidate for nearly half a year early.,I just finished picking up the task yesterday and you ran into such a master......"
Seeing that Xiao Lu had the idea of reading it all the time, Lin Que interrupted a little helplessly-"What kind of person is this Senior Ji?"
"I just met him for a moment, and I saw that he was all magnificent, and his merits were full and complete, but his merits were few and far between.10 I'm afraid I've only recently saved up enough points and have already exchanged them for the pension insurance series. ”
"Pension insurance?" Lynch's face was confused, isn't the fast-wearing company she is working for now the kind of cool and crazy villain on the Internet, who will only exploit and squeeze the protagonist's labor?
"That's right, what are you doing, after following my sister for so long, you still don't know the situation of our [Tao is Wuwei]?"
"It's different from those glamorous sluts outside, our company will never use day jobs! Once you become our regular employees, although you can't choose the same tasks, our welfare system is definitely the best in the universe, okay?"
Xiao Lu raised his head proudly and continued to talk. The slightly curly, low ponytail passed through the train cushion several times with her movements, but neither of the two men in the conversation noticed this subtle point.
"Not only are the rewards for each task completed, but in addition to the merit points that are deserved, we also have a variety of corresponding rewards according to the completion of the task. Failure is not like those extreme and inferior small companies that use the erasure of existence to intimidate people!"
And after a few years, as long as the working experience is more than 100 years, you can use the merit points accumulated over the years to exchange for retirement opportunities, and even choose to continue to travel through the world to vacation! There are many of these specific categories, and we simply call them the pension insurance series. ”
Woodbird's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened: "In other words, just like those internship missions I did before, you won't die if you fail in the official mission, right?"
"Of course, how did you train when you first came in, can you forget this?"
"I ...... I've heard that if a partner does a mission, the difficulty will increase as it goes......"
"Oh, that's what you say, that's generally true, in order to prevent some of the quests who want to cheat, we usually take the method of determining the difficulty by the number of people and ability. ”
"However, this time, the handover between the old and the new is different, there are too many newcomers and rookies. Although there are people of the older generation with them, it is also necessary to think about it...... For example, the relationship between the two generations is not harmonious, not only do they not help each other but turn against each other, and the little salted fish are young and vigorous and always lag behind. ”
Xiao Lu spread his hands, and as if he remembered something, he grabbed a few messy charts from the heterogeneous space behind him, and motioned for people to look:
"Therefore, the number of points opened, on the contrary, depends on the comprehensive strength of the two, basically as long as the sum of the two is over ninety, half of it will be removed, and then look at the level of the number to arrange the specific task space. ”
"Ah...... But I haven't even met that senior Ji, isn't it a little ......?"
The woodcock lowered his head and poked his fingers, and the voice of the reply became smaller and smaller, and he became more and more aggrieved and helpless.
However, no matter how good the trick is, it won't work if it is used too much, Xiao Lu directly waved his hand out of sight and out of mind, and summoned a bunch of documents from the space behind him.
"Stop, stop, I know what you're worried about! I have collected the specific information of the top 100 seniors in the system's excellent rankings, including the photos you are looking forward to without makeup!"
"Hey, hey. Xiaolu, sure enough, you know me best!"
Sneaking a peek at the shining silver screen that suddenly appeared in the air on the opposite side and the girl who was looking at the information by herself, the expression on Qi Yuan's face was completely petrified.
What's the system?mission?
He's still dreaming!
