Chapter 1 The Low Point of Life
Jiangbin City, Zhibo Hospital.
In a hospital room, no matter how Zhao Shun controlled his legs, there was no reaction, to be exact, there was no sense, as if these legs no longer belonged to him, and he couldn't even move his toes.
It all started a month ago, Zhao Shun was an ordinary office worker, who went to a party with his colleagues after work that day and came home very late.
When passing by an intersection, a speeding sports car suddenly rushed out from the side and knocked Zhao Shun into the air.
When he woke up again, he was already in the hospital, and the doctor told him that although his life was recovered, because of the car accident, his nerves were damaged, his legs were paralyzed, and he could not stand up again.
Hearing this news, Zhao Shun's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he suddenly felt that the whole world had lost its color, and only gray and white remained.
Zhao Shun's parents were also present at the time, his mother Sun Yu was crying very sadly, and his father Zhao Shangde kept begging the doctor to cure his son.
The doctor told Zhao Shun's family that technology is very advanced now, and there is a nerve repair technology that can help patients recover to their original state, but this kind of surgery is expensive and requires five million credits.
Originally, the family was very happy to hear that they could recover as before, but when they heard that the operation would cost 5 million, the family showed sadness.
Zhao Shun's father was just a factory worker, with a salary of only 4,000 credits per month, and his mother was a housewife with no income, and Zhao Shun's salary before the accident was only 5,000.
The total monthly income of the family is less than 10,000 yuan, and after deducting various expenses, there is not much left at all, how can such an ordinary working family afford to pay as much as 5 million for surgery?
Not to mention the surgery fee, the treatment fee after the car accident alone was borrowed by Zhao Shun's parents, and he was burdened with a huge debt of more than 100,000 yuan.
If the perpetrator is caught, the money is easy to do, just let the other party out, but the problem is that a month has passed, the police have never caught the perpetrator, just because the road where the accident occurred is located in the suburbs, no monitoring is installed, and Zhao Shun did not see the license plate number clearly, only remembered that it was a new red sports car that hit him.
There are too few clues, which makes it difficult to find, and the police only say that they will do their best, which means that they are not 100% guaranteed to catch the perpetrators.
A month has passed, and Zhao Shun's family has no hope, according to the past practice, the longer a case drags on, the probability of solving it will gradually decrease, because the clues will gradually disappear with the passage of time.
This month, Zhao Shun's family lived in a haze, the operation fee could not be paid, the treatment fee was borrowed, and a lot of debts were owed, and the road ahead was dark, and there was no light in sight.
The door to the ward opened, and a good-looking woman walked in.
Seeing the visitor, Zhao Shun showed a smile on his face, the woman's name is Chen Jia, she is Zhao Shun's girlfriend, the two have known each other in college, they have been dating for five years, and they have not separated after graduation.
"You're here." Zhao Shun said with a smile.
If Zhao Shun's world was gray after the car accident, then Chen Jia must be colorful, the only one who can bring him comfort.
After the car accident, Chen Jia would come to the hospital to visit Zhao Shun every day after work, and would bring him food cooked by himself, just like a conscientious wife, Zhao Shun was very glad that he found such a considerate and caring girlfriend, which also made him not too desperate for his future life.
Chen Jia also smiled, but smiled a little reluctantly: "Is your body better?" ”
"My body is fine, and the doctor said that I am recovering quickly."
"That's good."
Chen Jia came to the bedside, opened the thermos pot, and poured the steaming soup into the bowl.
"I made bone broth for you, this soup is nutritious and good for your body, drink it while it's hot."
Zhao Shun shrugged his nose and praised: "It's so fragrant!" Your cooking skills are getting better and better. ”
Zhao Shun's praise didn't make Chen Jia happy at all, she said lightly: "It's good if you like it." ”
Zhao Shun took the bowl and drank it in a big gulp, the food in the hospital was too unpalatable, in comparison, Chen Jia's soup was simply delicious in the world.
Seeing Zhao Shun enjoying the soup he boiled very much, a trace of unbearability flashed in Chen Jia's eyes, but finally spoke: "Ah Shun, I can't come to see you again in the future." ”
Zhao Shun stopped drinking the soup and wondered: "Why?" Have you been transferred to work in the field? ”
Chen Jia lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhao Shun's eyes: "It's my parents, they asked me to leave you." ”
Zhao Shun instantly understood, and his expression was gloomy: "Because of my legs? ”
"Yes, they originally thought your family was poor and didn't support us being together, but now your leg is paralyzed again, and they are even more opposed."
"I want to know what you think, are you also worried that I will be paralyzed for the rest of my life, so you want to leave me?"
"I don't mind if your family is poor, but I really can't accept that you become disabled, I'm sorry, please forgive me for being selfish."
At this moment, Chen Jia, who was originally colored, also turned gray, and Zhao Shun's world had no more color, and he closed his eyes in despair.
"I understand, I understand, no one wants to marry a disabled person and take care of her husband who can only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, you go, I wish you to find Ruyi Langjun and be happy for a lifetime."
"Ah Shun, I also wish you to find someone who truly loves you, I'm sorry, I'm leaving."
Chen Jia left, and when he left, he looked back at Zhao Shun for the last time, there was no love in his eyes, only guilt.
As soon as Chen Jia went out, she saw Zhao Shun's mother Sun Yu, in fact, she had been standing outside the door, originally she didn't want to disturb the world of her son and girlfriend, but who knew that what she heard was that her son broke up with his girlfriend.
Sun Yu's expression was very sad, there is an old saying that Fu Wushuang does not go alone, and sure enough, it was true, first his legs were paralyzed in a car accident, and now even his girlfriend who is about to talk about marriage after five years of dating has left, as if the worst things in the world are concentrated on his son, how can Sun Yu not be sad?
The breakup was known by the other party's mother, Chen Jia was a little embarrassed, nodded casually, and left in a hurry.
……
After his physical recovery, Zhao Shun was discharged from the hospital, of course, in a wheelchair, his legs were unconscious, and he could no longer walk on his feet like ordinary people.
When he got home, Zhao Shun locked himself in his room, and he didn't want to go outside because he was afraid that the people around him would look at him with strange eyes.
In addition to eating, he has been staying in the bedroom for the rest of the time, after his legs were paralyzed, Zhao Shun was fired by the company, it can't be said that people are ruthless, but he really can't work normally, as compensation, the company calculated an extra month's salary for him.
On this day, after dinner, Zhao Shun was about to go back to the room, passing by the door of his parents' bedroom and hearing some sad conversations.
"You rub it lightly, you want to kill me?" This is Sun Yu's voice.
"You are really, knowing that you have a bad waist, you still go to the hotel to work as a cleaner, bending over and mopping the floor every day, can you not hurt?"
"If I don't go to be a cleaner, can I support three people with your little salary? In the past, Ah Shun worked in the company, with 5,000 a month, plus your 4,000, barely enough for our family to eat and wear, but now Ah Shun can't work, how can 4,000 a month be enough? And I have to pay back the money borrowed from relatives and friends. ”
"Well, I know a friend who drives a taxi, and I asked him if he could borrow me a car, and I work in a factory during the day, and at night I go to drive a taxi to earn some extra money."
"That's fine, you work two jobs, plus mine, you should be able to barely survive."
Outside the door, Zhao Shun's hands were clenched into fists, his mother Sun Yu had a herniated lumbar disc and couldn't bend over, so she had been raised at home for a long time, and as a housewife, she only did some light housework, and the heavy work was done by Zhao Shangde and Zhao Shun.
But now, in order to maintain the needs of life, she also began to go out to work to support her family, which made Zhao Shun panic, ashamed and guilty.
The family has reached this predicament, and I am still complaining, what is the use of hiding in the bedroom in a daze every day? Could the money fall from the sky on its own?
You have to find some lucrative work to subsidize your family. This is Zhao Shun's thoughts at this time.
However, Zhao Shun can no longer find a job for normal people, he can only do some work that does not require frequent movement, and it is best to do it at home.
He turned on the computer, typed the two keywords of home and money on the search engine, pressed the enter key, and a large amount of relevant information immediately appeared.
Nowadays, in the age of the Internet, as long as there is power in mobile phones, people will be online all the time, so many strange jobs have been born, and as long as you sit in front of the computer, you can make money.
However, Zhao Shun didn't find a strange job, but saw a conspicuous advertisement.
"The ultra-realistic virtual online game "Endless World" is about to be open to the public, opening the game and the real trading platform, players can use credits to buy and sell game currency and equipment props, and they can easily make money while sitting at home!"
Click on the homepage of the game, and the first thing that catches your eye is the biggest feature of the game, which connects all the previous game worlds!
Players can fight monsters and explode equipment in the legendary world, learn magic skills in the World of Warcraft, and forge non-level equipment in the Fantasy Journey to the West...... The main thing is that the skills you learn from the equipment items you get in other game worlds can be carried over to the Overworld.
As a veteran player, Zhao Shun was immediately attracted by this novel game feature and was aroused by his curiosity, and Zhao Shun searched for more information about Endless World.
It doesn't matter if you don't search, you find out after a search that this game is not an ordinary fire, it is very hot!
So far, hundreds of millions of devices have been sold in Huaxia alone, which means that the number of players in Huaxia alone has reached hundreds of millions? How many other countries are there? Zhao Shun couldn't imagine it anymore.
As a veteran gamer, he knows exactly what this means, and if a game can be so popular, it means that it is very engaging, and it is full of business opportunities, and it is an eternal truth that where there are many people, there will be money.
In that case, what reason does Zhao Shun have not to play this game? Immediately, he clicked on the purchase page of the gaming device.
There are two types of gaming equipment, one is a cheap gaming helmet suitable for civilian players, which only costs 5,000 credits, and the disadvantage of this device is that the realism can only reach 30%.
The other is the game warehouse, with a realism of up to 95%, giving people an immersive sense of realism, but the price is not affordable for ordinary people, requiring 80,000 credits.
Zhao Shun is just an ordinary office worker, the salary is not high, he originally saved some money to save money, and planned to use it to marry Chen Jia, but after the car accident, it was all used to pay for medical expenses, which was not enough, and the rest was borrowed by his parents.
Now he has only 8,000 credits in his bank account, which is his salary and the compensation paid by the company for terminating him.
This money is only enough to buy a game helmet, and the remaining three thousand will soon be used up, and Zhao Shun must find a way to make money as soon as possible.
Click the buy button under the game helmet and pay the price. The next day, the courier came to the door and delivered a square package to Zhao Shun.
