Are there immortals in this world?

If this question had been placed four months ago, Lin Yang would have answered without hesitation: No!

Is there a supernatural in this world?

Similarly, Lin Yang four months ago would have replied without hesitation: No!

But now

January 10, 2009, 8:20 p.m.

At this time, in the office of an automobile equipment city on Xingfu Street in Beizhong City, China, Lin Yang is facing an LCD TV, and next to the TV is a DVD. Lin Yang took a disc from the table next to him and put it into the player. Soon, a movie was shown on TV - "Spider-Man".

The picture is very clear, Spider-Man, the urban hero in American comics, began his journey of punishing and eliminating evil, only to see that after he cleaned up a villain, he flew and shuttled in the high-rise buildings like a swing, and finally he walked into a small street, looking like he was ready to go home

"Smack!" Lin Yang pressed the pause button.

"Whew~~~~" Lin Yang took a deep breath, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then muttered: "Spider-Man, I hope you can give me three minutes." ”

After that, he pressed the watch, and a few words magically appeared on the dial: The conditions have been met, do you want to enter? Then Lin Yang pressed OK again, and then closed his eyes.

"Huh!" A bang

When Lin Yang opened his eyes, he found that he had come to the small street in the movie, which was in New York City. And in front of him is Spider-Man's back.

"Spider-Man !!" Lin Yang shouted. Of course, he is fluent in English.

In this small street, there is no one, only dim lighting, how could the director arrange for other people to see Spider-Man at this time?

Spider-Man really stopped, he was about to climb the wall to get home. Hearing this voice, Spider-Man turned around in confusion, and then in the dim light, he saw a man in a black trench coat, standing not far behind him.

How can I be tracked? Spider-Man couldn't figure it out anyway.

β€œwho-are-you?” (Who are you?) Spider-Man asked.

Hearing Spider-Man speak, Lin Yang let out a sigh of relief, and then said, "I need your help. ”

Spider-Man shook his head and said, "Hehe, if you really need help, it's best to call you 911 first." With that, he turned and left.

"Wait a minute, I" Lin Yang said, suddenly covering his chest, "I really need it"

After speaking, Lin Yang seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet, he leaned against the wall and slowly collapsed to the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Spider-Man jumped over with a single lunge, and he helped Lin Yang. At this time, he saw that Lin Yang also had a black mask, "You need to go to the hospital?" ”

"Nope." Lin Yang waved his hand at Spider-Man, thinking in his heart, it seems that Spider-Man is really a kind person, and he can only come over if he pretends to be in pain, "I need three minutes." ”

"What do you mean?" Spider-Man half-squatted beside Lin Yang, he was wearing a red spider hood, Lin Yang naturally couldn't see his face.

Lin Yang did not immediately answer Spider-Man's words, but raised his wrist and looked at his watch, which was a three-minute countdown, and there were still 2 minutes and 12 seconds left.

"You don't have to ask me what I mean" Lin Yang touched his chest, and then said, "I want to ask you, your name is Peter. Parker? ”

Spider-Man's body shook slightly, wondering how this person could know my real name. For a while, he couldn't answer, so he chose to remain silent.

"Then you're acquiescing." Lin Yang continued, "My name is Yong-Lin (Lin Yang), and I am your fan. ”

Spider-Man was surprised when he heard this, "How did you know my name?" He asked, reaching for Lin Yang's mask.

"No!" Lin Yang took a wrong step to the side, and then his eyes were fixed on Spider-Man's hand.

Spider-Man shook his head and said, "Don't want me to see you?" But you know my name, so you must know me somewhat. So that's why I'm going to see you for what you really are, too. ”

With that, he took a step forward, and his right hand grabbed Lin Yang's mask very quickly. Lin Yang hurriedly blocked it with his hand.

"Huh?" Spider-Man was stunned for a moment, and slammed his hand forward, which was not small.

Lin Yang hurriedly grabbed Spider-Man's wrist with both hands, he exerted a lot of strength, but he still felt that Spider-Man's hand moved forward little by little, and it was only a millimeter away from his mask.

"A little bit of strength." Spider-Man said with a smile.

Lin Yang knew that Spider-Man could take off his mask with a little more effort.

"Five seconds left!" Lin Yang looked at his watch with difficulty.

"What?" Spider-Man was puzzled.

"4321 Spider-Man, we'll meet again." Lin Yang shouted.

"Hmph" Lin Yang disappeared in front of Spider-Man out of thin air.

Spider-Man stood up in disbelief, and said in his heart, "What kind of person is this?" Is it a ghost? Lin Yang Lin Yang? As he spoke, he took off his hood, a confused expression on his face.

"Ahh He calmed down a little, then got up, walked to his desk, picked up an empty cup, went to the faucet and filled it with a glass of water, and drank it with a bang.

Lin Yang put down the water glass, looked at his watch, and said to himself, "Start cultivating." ”

With that, he went to the TV, sat down, and pressed his hand on his watch a few times. In an instant, Lin Yang's body seemed to be placed in an illusory black space.

Above the space, a series of white words appeared, as if suspended in the air.

"This time, contact Spider-Man to get 1200 points of combat value, a total of 5000 points of combat value, you can learn 20 levels of hand-to-hand combat, 20 levels of wall walking, and 20 levels of strength training!"

"Holy!" Lin Yang was puzzled and overjoyed, and said in his heart, "I've been here for four months, my martial arts, light skills, and strength can't break through when I reach level 18, but I didn't expect that once I came into contact with Spider-Man, it would rise by 2 levels!" nb! ”

At this time, Lin Yang said in his mouth, "State! ”

In the black space, Lin Yang's basic situation at this time was immediately revealed: 0 immortal qi, 5000 points of martial arts, and 5 points of merit.

"Start cultivating!" Lin Yang said.

At this time, from the depths of the black space, a person came out, Lin Yang stood up, he looked at this person, and said with a smile, "This machine is still so interesting." In front of him was the Spider-Man he had just come into contact with in the movie.

"I'm Trainer Five." That person was exactly the same as Spider-Man, but Lin Yang knew that the strength of this trainer was much worse than that of the real Spider-Man.

"Or is it the same old rule?" Lin Yang asked.

"Yes." Trainer 5 replied.

"Alright, let's get started." Lin Yang said, "Let's practice hand-to-hand combat first." ”

Trainer 5 nodded, then took a stance, "Use the easiest way to knock me out!" ”

"Look at the punch!" Lin Yang let out a loud shout, and a tiger rushed to the trainer, "Whew! Three punches were thrown, and the three forces rushed to the head of Trainer 5

Speaking of which, one might ask, are you telling a story of the Arabian Nights? Or did you watch too many action movies or fantasy novels and hallucinate?

Neither! Now it's a "real" story being told

###########################

Beizhong City, a large city in northern China. With a population of more than five million, the city is full of traffic every day, and people live at a very fast pace, as if everyone is in a hurry, or afraid that they will be eliminated by the city if they take a slow step.

A small number of white-collar elites in the city control most of the resources here, they wear suits and ties, drive brand-name cars, sit in luxurious offices, and negotiate business orders that are tens of millions.

Of course, this kind of life has nothing to do with Lin Yang. In July 2011, 22-year-old Lin Yang graduated from a third-rate university in Beizhong City and immediately lost his job. He did not choose to return to his old home in the countryside, but stayed here and worked hard for three meals a day. Become one of the millions of "diao" in this city. In his opinion, there is nothing to become a diao silk for a while, and there are many more opportunities to stay in the big city than in the countryside.

What does diao silk mean? Most of the diaosi were born in poor families, such as rural and urban low-income. They have no money, no background, no rights, no relationship, and even no future.

This word is very apt for Lin Yang, he is now nothing. His father died of illness in his sophomore year, and his mother worked alone in the family's farm. All the family can give Lin Yang is a few words of comfort on the phone.

However, when Lin Yang graduated from college, he made up his mind that he must spell out a person in Beizhong City and bring his mother here. Then marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, and the family lives happily.

But the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is cruel.

In the first half year of graduation, Lin Yang couldn't even find a decent job, and he relied on part-time jobs to make ends meet. First, the competition here is too fierce, there are many talents, relationships, and money. The second is that the major he studied in college is not very favorable, and he studied business administration.

While the word business administration sounds great, it's not, depending on the school you graduated from. The MBA of a prestigious university is naturally rushed by enterprises. Third-rate university, I'm sorry! , if you go to be a worker, you are too young. This also fulfills the saying: It is not necessarily angels that fly in the sky, but also birdmen; Those who ride white horses are not necessarily princes, but also Tang monks. One more sentence: not necessarily MBA to study business administration, there are also ** silk!

Half a year of short-term work made Lin Yang completely understand that his ideals when he graduated from college and the reality of this city are a pair of irreconcilable contradictions.

So he lowered the threshold for choosing a job, and he no longer crowded the talent market. He pragmatically abandoned his major, found a car fitting city, and began his career as a car washer.

Although Lin Yang is poor, he is neither short nor ugly. He can even be described as tall and handsome, and his good physique is due to his experience on the college basketball team. In addition, he is very diligent and can endure hardships. Therefore, it was quickly reused in the equipment city - after half a year of work, he became the leader of the car wash team from an ordinary car washer. The salary is twice as high as before, and you can get 3,000 yuan a month.

Here, Lin Yang finally found his own value, and finally understood that unrealistic fantasies could not fill his stomach, and he could only harvest RMB by washing cars for customers in a down-to-earth manner.

Originally, this kind of life could continue, Lin Yang continued to work hard, and then learned to repair cars, sheet metal, and spray paint, and it was very likely that he would take root here. But one day in July 2012, an accident occurred, which made Lin Yang's tragic fate even more tragic!

The owner of the car wash city is surnamed Zhang, Mingyuan, in his forties, as his name suggests, very round. Privately, employees call him "Zhang Fat". He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and when he smiles, his eyes become slits, so some people call him "wide-eyed", which, of course, is antithetical.

Regardless of whether he is "Fat Zhang" or "Wide-eyed", he is the boss of this car wash after all. Frankly speaking, he is not bad, except for the "plump" body, other aspects are reasonable.

Boss Zhang still attaches great importance to Lin Yang, on this day he came to the washing workshop, pulled Lin Yang aside, and said to him: "There is an important guest here today to wash the car, you must do a good job, and the service attitude should be enthusiastic."

After listening to the boss's explanation, Lin Yang nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Boss Zhang, I will personally take my little brother to work in a while." ”

Boss Zhang smiled with satisfaction, "If this boss is satisfied, their company's car wash and car repair will be fixed to us in the future, this boss is very refreshing, do you know what I mean?" ”

"Got it!" Lin Yang replied.

Lin Yang knows that if he can turn this boss into a regular customer here, then the car dealer will have a very considerable fixed income every year in the future.

At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, the big boss came to the equipment city, the car he drove was a very luxurious black off-road vehicle, and Lin Yang had never seen this brand, not the Mercedes-Benz BMW he imagined, and later he learned that this brand was called "Infiniti", which was the most high-end in the series of cars.

The boss, surnamed Zhao, was in his forties, wearing a decent white shirt and a golden watch. After he got out of the car, he didn't look at Lin Yang and the others, but walked to Zhang Yuan, who was already waiting on the side.

"Boss Zhang, your business here is good." As he spoke, he shook hands with Zhang Yuan, and then looked up again. "The environment is pretty good."

"Where, Boss Zhao can come to our small place, it's really a little condescending, hehe, please come to my office and sit down, I will make you a good cup of tea." Zhang Yuan nodded and smiled.

Boss Zhao nodded and looked at his car again.

"Oh, don't worry, Boss Zhao." Zhang Yuan said, "The children work carefully to ensure that your car is cleaned." After speaking, he gave a thumbs up to Lin Yang who was not far away.

Lin Yang said, "No problem. Then he nodded to Zhang Yuan knowingly.

"Okay!" As he spoke, Boss Zhao and Zhang Yuan walked into the car equipment city.

"Let's get started." Lin Yang immediately beckoned the four little brothers to wash Boss Zhao's car together. Because Zhang Yuan has a special explanation, everyone is very serious and hardworking. Clean the interior mats, rinse the exterior, wash the fluid, and carefully clean every tire with a brush.

Fifteen minutes later, five people circled the car for a final dry erase.

"I said Brother Lin, isn't it a bit condescending for you to be a college student dry cleaning car?" A voice reached the ears of Lin Yang, who was wiping the car.

This person's name is Wang Xu, who is younger than Lin Yang, has not been in the car dealership for a long time, and is also a migrant worker.

"Huh." Lin Yang smiled, "What is unyielding, eat with a mouthful of food." ”

"Brother Lin, what major did you study in college?" Wang Xu rubbed the hood and asked.

"Business Administration." Lin Yang looked at Wang Xu.

"Well, it's a very advanced major." Wang Xu said. Several other people also smiled and agreed, "Absolutely high-level professional." ”

"Senior girl." Lin Yang smiled bitterly, "The most worthless major." As he spoke, he wiped down the rearview mirror. While wiping, he smiled at Wang Xu and the others, "Let me tell you, it's better to go to this university than to go to a technical school, and you can learn a real craft, repair cars, watches, computers, and anything is better than business administration."

"Smack!" Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and everyone was stunned all of a sudden.

Lin Yang looked at his hands even more blankly. It turned out that he wanted to wipe the gap in the rearview mirror, so he subconsciously pulled it back, but he forgot that the rearview mirror of this kind of high-end sedan is electronically controlled, and the consequence of the hard wrench is damage!

Wang Xu hurriedly walked over, looked at the rearview mirror carefully, and knocked it with his hand, he looked at the stupid Lin Yang and said, "It's broken, Brother Lin"

Lin Yangmu nodded and muttered, "It's broken." ”

The reversing mirror was indeed broken, and Lin Yang's work was also broken with this "snap".

Lin Yang clearly remembered that when Boss Zhao left angrily, he pointed to Zhang Yuan's nose and said two words, judging by the mouth shape, it should be "Pit Dad!" ”

Lin Yang still clearly remembered what Boss Zhao said to him, "I heard that you are still a college student?" After speaking, he shook his head gently.

The reversing mirror needed to be replaced, and the cost was 23,000 yuan. Lin Yang saved 4,000 yuan in half a year, plus this month's salary is a total of 7,000 yuan, which is not even half enough.

When Zhang Yuan fired him, he said to him: "You have been with me for half a year, to be honest, I like you a lot, but I am a business, the rules of doing business cannot be broken, and if you make a mistake, you will be punished, you can't do it here." I know you don't have money now, you owe money to the rearview mirror, the car dealer will help you put it on first, and then pay it back when you have money. ”

Lin Yang was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, Boss Zhang, before I leave, I still have to say thank you, and I will definitely pay it back when I have it." ”

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes, exhaled and shook his head, and then said, "Don't worry, I believe in you." ”

In this way, Lin Yang ended his car washing career in Auto Fitting City in a daze, and there is no need to talk about the process, anyway, the current result is that he has not earned a penny, and he owes 16,000 oceans.

He still didn't understand why a rich man's rearview mirror would be about the same as his salary for nearly a year, and it had been a whole year since he graduated, and now it seemed that everything was back to square one, without even a trace of progress. He is still the "diao silk" at the bottom of the society!
