Chapter 1 Incoming calls
Bustling streets, endless traffic, crowded bus stop signs.
A young man with a pale face slowly walked down the blind road.
Sunglasses cover most of his face, and slender bamboo poles carefully explore his way in front of him, like a soldier exploring a minefield with a mine detector in hand.
It's a shame to be ...... at such a young age
With the appearance of the blind youth, the crowd in front of the bus stop has cast sorry and sympathetic eyes.
The car is coming.
Everyone consciously got out of the way and gave the young man the most convenient position to get on the bus.
The nearest young girl stepped forward, gently grabbed the young man's shoulders and said, "I'll help you into the car." ”
"Thank you." The young man turned his head sideways and smiled gratefully.
The bus stopped slowly, no one was crowded, and everyone waited quietly until the girl helped the blind youth up, and the people behind got on the bus in an orderly order.
"Can you sue me by your name?" The blind youth took his seat with the help of the young girl and asked the girl sideways.
The girl was visibly taken aback and did not speak.
"I want to try to remember everyone who has helped me. I want to remember your names. The youth said.
The girl suddenly realized and smiled sweetly: "My name is Meiyu, Meimei, the rain of spring rain." ”
"Eyebrow Rain...... What a beautiful name. The young man repeated the girl's name and sighed heartily.
……
An hour later, the blind youth got out of the car and stood on the side of the road and waved gratefully in thanks.
It wasn't until the bus was far away that he turned around and walked forward, taking off his sunglasses as he went, and throwing them into the garbage bin on the side of the road along with the bamboo pole.
transformed into a young man with bright eyes and a flying walk.
This magical change stunned a little boy who was waiting for the bus with his mother next to him.
The young man winked playfully at the little boy, turned briskly, and walked into a coffee house on the side of the road.
"A cup of coffee, thank you!"
The young man hurriedly walked to the window and sat down, and while greeting the waiter, he couldn't wait to take out the laptop from the computer bag he was carrying.
"It's so feeling, eyebrow rain...... That's you, my heroine! ”
As he waited for the computer to boot up, he sparkled with ambition in his eyes.
Then, in the tantalizing aroma of coffee, he frenzied his fingers flying on the keyboard.
Jingle bells, jingle bells......
In the middle of writing, a sharp and piercing mobile phone rang suddenly, interrupting his interest in writing at an inopportune time.
At the same time, of course, it also attracted the attention of the other people in the coffee house, and disgust was written on almost every face.
And when the young man took out his mobile phone from his pocket, these people were shocked in addition to disgust.
No wonder the ringtone of the mobile phone is so high-end and atmospheric, this mobile phone is really extraordinary......
At this time, the young man had already picked up the phone and yelled impatiently: "Who are you?!" Didn't know I was ......"
But as soon as he uttered these words, he was interrupted by a cold but pleasant female voice......
Mu Zixu, male, ancestral home in Binzhou, Shandong, was born at half past three in the afternoon of August 8, 1988 in the Second People's Hospital of Binbei Town. Net weight 4.12 kg at birth, height 60.3 cm, current occupation is an Internet writer, pen name vegetarian, and currently writing a novel called. ”
This beautiful sound came from the mobile phone into the eardrum, just like a sweet spring bathing the heart, which suddenly shocked the young man's spirit, and most of the anger disappeared.
It's just that as soon as the other party opens his mouth, he talks about his own *, which is really a bit inexplicable.
Maybe......
Is it a prank?
And he must be an acquaintance who knows him very well.
Thinking like this, Mu Zixu quickly searched for information about acquaintances in his mind, and asked with a hippie smile: "My sister has a good voice, she can be a voice actor!" Which bastard is so good that he can invite a god like a girl to play tricks? ”
But the other party ignored his question, and continued to take care of himself: "Your hobby in the last few days is to pretend to be blind and wander the streets, in order to find inspiration for the book you are writing. You just met a girl named Meiyu in the car, and if you guessed correctly, now you're planning to write her into a book, right? ”
"You're stalking me?" Hearing this, Mu Zixu suddenly became alert.
The other party still ignored him and continued: "Although you are invested enough in writing, it does not change your predicament of hitting the street. After a month of thrifty living, the remaining available balance on your current card is 250.28 yuan. In addition, you are facing a lack of money to pay rent these days, and you may be kicked out by your landlord at any time......"
The other party actually said his exact family background, and even the number after the decimal point was exactly the same!
"You...... Wait a minute! He couldn't help but roar, drawing the attention of everyone around him again. Who the hell are you?! Why do you want to check my family background? ”
The other party turned a deaf ear to his scolding, and continued to himself: "Your phone is a Nokia 1100, which accidentally fell out of the window three days ago and was broken, and now the body is wrapped with scotch tape. You're sitting in the window seat on the first floor of Clover Coffee House, seat number 306, and you've asked for a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, it's time to cool down......"
"Stop !!" Mu Zixu couldn't help but yell. "Who the hell are you?!"
He scanned everyone around him with his phone, searching for the person who was spying on him.
The surrounding guests, who were originally attracted by the roar, turned their eyes at this time, and did not dare to look at Mu Zixu again.
If just now they were just shocked by Mu Zixu's mobile phone, then now, they are already terrified of Mu Zixu's whole person.
And at this moment, Mu Zixu has no time to pay attention to what others think of him. The man on the other end of the line said a lot of things that seemed to be disorganized, but each sentence hit the nail on the head with great precision.
Around Mu Zixu, there are not many people who know him, but there is absolutely no one who understands him so comprehensively and thoroughly, knows so well, and knows himself better than himself!
This is what makes Mu Zixu feel incredible, and panicked-
She is completely transparent in front of the other party, but she doesn't even know her identity!
"Don't look for it, you can't see me." The other party seemed to know that Mu Zixu had lost his patience, and finally ended and continued to uncover the bottom, and said lightly. "Now, be mentally prepared, because something wonderful is about to happen in front of you."
"What's ...... wonderful?"
Bang!!
Before Mu Zixu's suspicious words landed, a huge black shadow outside the window fell from the sky and smashed on the car parked in front of the window.
It turned out to be a person!
From Mu Zixu's point of view, it can be seen very clearly that the deceased was a fat man with a big belly, and the huge force of the fall from a high altitude actually smashed the roof of the entire car.
Screams rang out, and the crowd gathered around.
"This fat man outside, I thought I could continue to live freely, but unknowingly my fate was rewritten, his greed made his life end early, you say, isn't it a wonderful thing?"
Just when Mu Zixu was frightened and inexplicable, a cold voice sounded in his ears again, and he rang at this time, and the phone never hung up.
"Who the hell are you? You...... How do you know someone is going to die? ”
"So now, I say I know everything about you and the Qiē around you, do you believe it?"
"I believe it!" Mu Zixu roared frantically. "But at least you sue me, who the are you?! Is the dead ......?"
"You can call me - boss."
"Boss?!"
"It's just a nickname."
"Where are you?" Mu Zixu pulled at his hair frantically and continued to search around.
Boss: "I'm everywhere. But it won't be discovered by you. ”
Mu Zixu: "What do you want?" What the hell are you going to do? ”
Boss: "I checked you because I wanted to know you, and then I could decide if you were eligible to participate in the game." ”
Mu Zixu: "Game? What game?? ”
Boss: "A game that can bring you a huge income and is full of infinite challenges and excitement. Just complete the quests we publish as required and you'll get a great reward. ”
Mu Zixu: "What kind of game is it?" You can't be a cult leader, right? ”
Boss: "First of all, congratulations, you have completed your first task, and you will receive a reward of 100 yuan for this task." ”
Mu Zixu: "Huh? ”
Boss: "Answering this call and listening to my basic mission briefing is an entry-level task in itself, and of course you can also think of it as a credit guarantee that I hired you...... Well, if you feel interested in joining the game, please call back as much as you like. ”
After saying this, the phone hung up, and only the system busy sound was left in the earpiece.
Mu Zixu grabbed his phone, and before he could react, the text message ringtone had already sounded.
He hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and was immediately dumbfounded.
It was sent by the bank, showing that he had just earned 100 yuan in his account!!
In disbelief, he called again to verify, and it was true, there was really an extra hundred yuan on the account!
This......
What's going on?
Is there really such a good thing in the world?!
Mu Zixu clutched his mobile phone tightly, feeling that all his brain cells were expanding violently, and his breathing became rapid.
After hesitating for less than a minute, he finally pulled out the phone number of the self-proclaimed boss just now.
He deliberately looked at the phone number, which was a completely unfamiliar mobile phone number.
What if it's a professional scammer?
Start giving some benefits, then lure yourself into being fooled step by step, and finally ......
But she is poor now, even if the other party is a liar, what else can she deceive except for her own life?
She has worked so hard to understand herself so much, she should have known that she is a poor egg, and there is no oil and water to squeeze, why should she choose herself?
Besides, if you realize that something is wrong, you can hang up the phone and walk away.
Thinking like this, Mu Zixu took a deep breath and finally pressed the callback button.
Sometimes it only takes a few tenths of a second for a person's life to change.
At this moment, Mu Zixu would not have thought that his small action of pressing the return button would completely turn his life around......
The boss answered very quickly, and as soon as the phone was dialed, the cold and pleasant voice rang out.
"Your future code name will be Muzi."
Mu Zixu was a little confused: "Codename? ”
Boss: "Yes, or call it the game ID, anyway, I'll call you Muzi in the future." When you call back, doesn't it mean that you have thought it through and are ready to continue playing? ”
Mu Zixu: "But I want to confirm, what kind of games will you ask me to make?" Declare in advance that the crime of murder and arson is ......"
Boss: "If you don't feel like you're up to the task or don't want to continue, you can quit the game at any time." ”
Mu Zixu: "In that case, will all the remuneration you have received be returned, and even liquidated damages or something like that?" ”
Boss: "The rules of our game are very fair. Players are free to withdraw at any time without any payment that has already been received. However, it should be noted that once a player voluntarily requests to withdraw, he will not have a chance to rejoin. ”
Mu Zixu: "Then can we meet and sign a labor agreement or something?" ”
Boss: "No. ”
Mu Zixu: "Okay...... What are the requirements for the game? Or the rules? ”
Boss: "Rule one, within the specified time, complete the task I assigned, and there is only one chance, and failure is not allowed." The difficulty and complexity of the task are directly proportional to the level of remuneration. Rule two, keep the job absolutely confidential, and don't reveal it to anyone, once you do, you will find that the consequences are very strict. Rule three, don't question a qiē about me. ”
Mu Zixu: "Gone?" ”
Boss: "No. ”
Mu Zixu: "Then can I ask, is your task a long-term release, or is it occasional?" To put it simply...... How much can I get in a month? How long does this game last? ”
Boss: "Based on the experience of other players, there is usually a minimum monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan. The game never ends unless there are special surprises. ”
Mu Zixu: "There are other players?" ”
Boss: "Of course. It's a multiplayer game. ”
Mu Zixu let out a casual sigh, and couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
If you earn 10,000 yuan a month......
Isn't that an annual salary of 100,000?
For him, a street writer who barely makes ends meet, an annual salary of 100,000 is such an attractive number!
Moreover, I still make so much money in the form of playing games, which is N times happier than code words!
And at this time, the boss continued to speak, still calm and calm, and his voice was as cold and beautiful as ever.
"So, are you ready for the second mission?"
Mu Zixu: "Tell me, what is the task?" ”
Boss: "The coffee mug in front of you is beautiful, take it away." ”
Mu Zixu looked at the coffee cup in front of him in surprise: "You...... Let me steal?!"
Boss: "I just told you to take it away." ”
Mu Zixu looked around, and then took out his shriveled wallet, there were still dozens of yuan in it, but when he had no money to pay the rent, he really didn't want to pay any more money to buy any more cups.
He put his wallet back in his pocket and asked cautiously, "Take the cup, even if you complete the second task?" ”
Boss: "Yes. Complete the task and get a gratuity of 300 yuan. ”
"300 bucks?" Mu Zixu almost spit out the coffee he had just drunk. "You can't be talking about yen, right?"
"All honorarities are calculated in RMB."
After the boss said this, the phone hung up.
Mu Zixu hesitated for a few seconds and slowly packed up his laptop.
Then, he disguised himself with the action of drinking coffee, carefully observed his surroundings again, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he drank the coffee in three or two clicks, stuffed the cup into his satchel, and walked quickly to the cash register.
This is the first time in Mu Zixu's life to steal something, and the two nervous palms are sweating, but because there is chaos outside the window at the moment, most of the people ran out to see the dead man, so no one noticed his behavior, which made his theft a qiē shun lì,
After walking out of the café in fear, Mu Zixu didn't even have time to glance at the dead man on the roof of the car, so he ran wildly.
It wasn't until he was convinced that the people in the café had found out that the cup had been lost and couldn't catch up with him anymore that he breathed a sigh of relief.
After gasping for a few seconds, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out his phone to check.
Sure enough, there were already another 300 yuan on his account.
Just as I was excited, the phone rang again.
He hurriedly picked it up, and his tone couldn't hide his excitement: "Boss, is there a new task again?!" ”
The owner, as always, was succinct: "Go buy a bottle of perfume." ”
"Perfume" Mu Zixu was full of doubts: "What perfume?" ”
Boss: "It doesn't matter. The bigger the bottle, the stronger the taste, the better."
Mu Zixu: "There are no other restrictions? Can I buy a lady for ten bucks? ”
Boss: "Whatever"
Mu Zixu: "...... honorarium?" ”
Boss: "0." This is the preparation for a new task. ”
Mu Zixu: "Okay...... You just said that this is the last mission for the day? In other words, if you buy perfume today, you will be fine? ”
Boss: "Yes. But I have a suggestion: get fit more from today. ”
Mu Zixu: "Fitness? ”
Boss: "This is to prepare you for the completion of the task in the future." You're too weak at the moment, and your mental quality is amazingly bad. Only when the body is better, the spirit is more energetic, and the psychological endurance is better, can you complete more tasks and you can get more honorarium. Isn't it? ”
Mu Zixu: "Totally agree!
The phone hung up, Mu Zixu strutted high, and walked to the one-yuan and two-dollar store not far away......
Who is the boss?
Why did he spend so much money to let himself do such strange things?
Why is the person who can pick up this golden job bowl himself?
It wasn't until he returned to his kennel and threw himself on the bed exhausted that Mu Zixu finally woke up from his excitement and began to think about these questions.
As a lover of suspense novels, he was originally a person who was good at thinking and analyzing. But it's a pity that the boss's cold and beautiful voice and the easy-earned money on the account always jump out from time to time to interfere with his train of thought, making his whole person flutter and unable to concentrate anymore.
In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it, and in essence he was a person who was somewhat at ease with what he encountered.
So he ran downstairs to buy a case of beer, drank and celebrated by himself, until half past ten before he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
