8. Mystery gifts
"If you're willing to put your heart and soul into it, I can consider it."
Her expression was too bewildering, too gentle, and the smoky gray eyes that were obviously common to underage Tiansu people seemed to have the power of bewitchment.
Bo Jue had to admit that at that moment, his heart seemed to be hit by a hammer, and the unprecedented feeling diffused from the fist-sized organ in his chest and converged into an indescribable pulse...... It was like a sudden surprise.
However, the surprise only existed for a short moment, and Bo Jue immediately reacted that he had been tricked.
In a thousandth of a second, before the heat on her cheeks could spread, she had already extinguished the little flame, and not to be outdone, she put her cheeks in front of Zhao Qingge's eyes, almost touched the tip of her nose, and said provocatively: "Although I am very dissatisfied with the coming-of-age ceremony, if you are willing to sacrifice your heart's work, I can reluctantly accept it." ”
Silence crept between the two.
The breeze ruffled the strands of hair on the sides of their faces, tugging together in an almost lingering fashion.
"Heh......"
In the end, it was Zhao Qingge who removed his cheeks first, followed by Zhao Qingge's signature monosyllabic sneer.
But this time she didn't get angry, maybe the wind in the playground was too comfortable, maybe the weather was too good today, or maybe maybe there was something she didn't find out about herself.
"Thin hemp stalks."
"Huh?"
"Dr. Xi hid something during class today and didn't say you know?"
"What?"
Zhao Qingge also sat properly on the horizontal bar, his sweaty hair was dried by the wind just now, and he was restless floating around on the side of his face, Zhao Qingge raised his hand and put his long hair behind his ear: "Last year, 200 students in the college completed the coming-of-age ceremony, but only 193 graduated in the end. ”
"What about the others?"
"Died by suicide. And due to the death of the incomplete deed, some of their deed owners suffered from Yan zhòng's mental depression and were sent to the CDC, which is the mysterious place where they can't get out. ”
Bo Jue's mouth opened wide in surprise: "Why?" ”
"Every year, we have a contract that gives up my life because of a defeat in a coming-of-age ceremony, but the school doesn't tell us. You are right, the coming-of-age ceremony is unfair, it is even more cruel than you think, the so-called coming-of-age ceremony, in fact, is similar to the selection process of survival of the fittest in the natural world of other planets, the loser will be deprived of a qiē right, and the owner of the contract is quite cruel to the control of the contract, from psychology to physiology, absolute domination in all senses. How strong we are in Tiansu people, you just need to look around you to know. ”
Bo Jue frowned, indeed, cynicism is like Jiang You, and he verbally says that he doesn't care about subordination, but he has never fallen behind in his training on weekdays, otherwise Bo Jue would not have played with him. It can be said that except for Lin Jian, all the students in the class have worked hard in physical training, and no one wants to fall behind.
"It's true that some people don't care about their subordination, and even if they become deeds, they can live comfortably. But some people are born to be dominant, and perhaps they themselves do not realize that once they become a deed and are deprived of all their rights, what awaits him is death. ”
"The school didn't say any of these things, so where did you know that? Why do you want to sue me again? ”
"It doesn't matter where I know it." Zhao Qingge jumped down from the horizontal bar, put his hands in the pockets of his school uniform, and said without looking back, "Just to remind you, don't be anyone's deed, I'll go first." ”
Bo Jue didn't express an opinion from the beginning to the end, he was stunned on the horizontal bar, and the next capital letter on his body was inexplicable.
She tilted her head, looked at Zhao Qingge's arrogant back and blinked, for the first time she felt that this person seemed to be a little less annoying, but a little ...... Lovely?
No, no, no, it must be my own delusion, what is this. Bo Jue shook his head twice, quickly cleared out the messy thoughts, and walked slowly to the bedroom under the sunset.
"Bo Jue, you're in a good mood today."
"Do I have one?"
"Yes. Have you had dinner? I invite you. ”
"No, I've eaten it."
……
After greeting her three times in a row, and having to carry a greeting of "You are in a good mood today", Bo Jue hurriedly flew back to the dormitory with wings on his back, and looked at the girl with the corners of her mouth raised in the mirror.
What the heck? What the hell is there to be happy about her!
Bo Jue pressed his finger on the corner of his mouth, and the person in the mirror drooped down the corner of his mouth, Bo Jue smiled with satisfaction, and hummed an ancient alien ballad while entering the command on the personal terminal to enter Tianyuan.com.
"Tonight, the boat is in the middle of the stream. Today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince......"
Tianyuan Network is the public network of Tianyuan, which is an era when three-dimensional networks have developed to their peak, and cross-dimensional transmission devices can allow real objects to be transformed into each other in reality and virtuality, and all walks of life are thriving in Tianyuan Network, becoming a prosperous world on a par with the real world.
Bo Jue's embryonic status means that her range of activities on Tianyuan is limited by the network classification system, and she cannot enter more than 80% of the adult-restricted areas. Fortunately, the construction of several special zones that allow rudimentary entry and exit is luxurious, which can fully meet any needs of these minors.
In addition to the personal terminal, each Tiansu person will get a real-name card after waking up, and this card has many uses, one of which is to use the card for consumption. The real-name card of the Tiansu person who becomes the deed child after becoming an adult will be cancelled, and the deed owner will apply for a new sub-card.
Each embryo will have a living allowance paid to the card every month, which is enough to cover their expenses for the whole month. This fee increases after they complete their rite of passage and enter a higher education institution until they have their own income after graduation and workforce. That's when they start paying taxes on education, and like their predecessors raised them, they will raise the next generation.
"Strawberry bread, chocolate bread, blueberry bread."
The customers in the virtual store looked curiously at the delicate minor, muttering words and carrying a few large bags of energy bread to the front desk to check out.
"Add a carton of milk." Some adults can't stand it anymore, "How can minors only eat energy bread, it's on my account." ”
Bo Jue raised his head in a daze and hurriedly said, "No need." ”
The man had already handed the card to the front desk in a hurry, and swiped all the bread with him.
Bo Jue: "......"
She was calculating that there were still a few days from this month to the end of the month, how could she use the only money left to survive until next month, and she didn't pay attention to the things around her at all, and she didn't even have time to take out the real-name card in her pocket.
"Thank you then." Bo Jue bowed obediently and thanked him, "Could you please leave your contact information?" I'll pay you back my living expenses. ”
The adult said, "No. ”
"Definitely!"
"Alright then, you dock your personal terminal with me." The adult wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his light-colored eyes hidden underneath, and his gestures were graceful.
Bo Jue exchanged contact information with him, thanked him again, and let the store be teleported to his bedroom with a transmission device, while he came out of the supermarket and turned a corner and entered a store called "Jinxuan".
As soon as she entered, she lazily leaned into the chaise longue that was placed in the doorway.
"Going to buy bread again?" Before the person arrived, the sound was heard first, a plain white hand stretched out from the bead curtain, and the person who came was dressed in a moon-white cheongsam outlining the exquisite waist, and the lotus step walked lightly to Bo Jue.
Bo Jue said angrily: "Otherwise? I've spent all my living expenses here. ”
Shopkeeper: "Two days ago, I arrived at two new models, one is the water-green milky cloud yarn cardigan of the Tang Dynasty of the Earth Star, and the other is the tiger carving brocade of the Wolf Pleiades, are you interested?" I'll keep it and wait for you. ”
Bo Jue covered his ears: "I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen......"
Shopkeeper: "Look at this cheongsam on me, the goods that arrived yesterday, the most exquisite outfit of the Earth Star, I really can't wear it without figure and temperament, my deed owner likes me to wear this." ”
Bo Jue: "I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen." ”
Shopkeeper: "I didn't ask you to buy it, come in and see the head office." ”
Bo Jue: "I don't have money, I don't look at it." ”
Shopkeeper: "Why didn't you come in?" ”
Bo Jue: "I'll leave now." ”
"Wait, aren't you about to wake up in the tenth grade? Here's something for you. The shopkeeper mysteriously took out an iron box from under the counter, "Take it as your reward for taking care of my family's business for so many years." ”
Bo Jue shook the iron box, but didn't hear any sound: "What is it here?" ”
The shopkeeper patted her on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully: "Of course it's a good thing." ”
