Chapter 1: Past and Present Lives (I)
In the early morning, this small city, which is considered a slum, is sparsely populated and unusually quiet, with the occasional suspension car speeding by. The small river that surrounds the town looks dark, and from time to time it reflects a few passing headlights, but the flickering glimmer makes the river look deeper and darker.
The factory machines on the edge of the city still roared all night long, and the thick chimneys excreted exhaust fumes into the air, mixed with another unknown smell in the air, which filled the whole town with a pungent smell. Coupled with the dreary weather, with a few drops of rain dropping from time to time, no one wants to come out in such weather.
Of course, such weather is indeed a "good weather" for some people!
Four gray suspension cars slowly drove over the bridge from the small town, then turned left and right and drove quickly into the corner of a street in the small town. In a burst of scolding, more than a dozen young people holding steel pipes, paper knives, and iron bars came out of the car one after another.
After another moment, five taels of white suspension carts slowly drove into the inside from the outside, and a dozen people with fighting tools also came down from above, opposing the people who came before.
A burst of shouting and scolding was followed by the screams of people, the clashing of iron objects, and the roaring and roaring of menγγγγγγ
It didn't last long, about ten minutes or so, and the five taels of suspension cars that arrived behind quickly and slowly used it from inside, slowly disappearing into the dim street towards the end of the street.
Obviously, this was a gang or a gang of street thugs who weren't even gangsters, and the winning side was the white convoy.
After a loud "boom", the raindrops of beans finally poured down from the sky.
On the side of the road, a man wrapped in a slightly old black costume watched the suspension car drive by, made an unknown sound in his nostrils, and then shook his head, wiped the rain from his head, and walked towards the other end of the street with his body shaking against the rain.
After turning a few streets, and passing the door of a dirty store with the words 'Hope Store' hanging on it, the man in black hesitated for a moment, and then stood there stunned.
From the gradually whitening sky, you can vaguely distinguish the face of this person, black messy hair, yellow skin, delicate cheeks with a little immaturity, straight nose, a pair of half-dull but clear eyes that seem to be able to shine with spiritual light. About 1.8 meters tall, his figure was a little thin and thin, tightly wrapped in an old black fur coat, and the collar was up, making it impossible to recognize him exactly.
About three minutes later!
A man wearing a 'hope' full-time costume slowly opened the door of the store, and when he saw the person standing at the door, he was stunned at first, then pouted and ignored it, kicked open a few drink bottles at the door of the store, and just took out his little brother, and urinated happily in front of the man in black. After shaking a few times, he said loudly to the man in black, "Fuck, it's really bad weather today, isn't it?" Is my brother very big? Would you like to try it? What the fuck, what are you doing standing here? Want to rob? Phew, get away, get out, now. β
Listening to the man's curse, Taiyi's brows furrowed slightly, but he was not angry, and whispered, "Sir, are you doing this business?" β
"Business?" The man looked at Taiyi while lifting his pants, and asked in a slightly soothing tone, "Are you here to buy a helmet?" Seeing Taiyi nodded, the man showed a smile and greeted warmly: "Shout, this little brother, I'm really embarrassed just now, look at my stinky mouth, come, come, fast forward, fast forward." β
Without saying much, he walked into the store.
The interior of the store is as bad as its appearance and its owner, with messy furnishings, enough hygiene, and a pungent smellγγγγγγ
Seeing that Taiyi's nostrils shrank slightly, the man's eyebrows were somewhat gloating, and he reached out and took out a box of cigarettes from his dirty clothes, and gestured to Taiyi: "Don't you have one?" β
Taiyi shook his head, and a faint smile appeared on his delicate face: "Thank you, I won't smoke!" β
"That's a pity, this cigarette is a good brand," the man lit a cigarette from his own stock, it seemed that he could save a cigarette to make him feel better all of a sudden, no longer grinding, and he didn't ask Taiyi what grade of helmet he wanted, and directly took out the most low-grade goods in the store, after all, there are not many people who can buy a good configuration in a ghost place.
He wiped the dust on the package with the placket of his clothes, and then handed it to Taiyi, and said with a smile: "Here, take it, four thousand federal coins." β
Taiyi's half-stuffy eyes opened violently when he saw this inconspicuous low-grade game helmet, and his two hands trembled slightly as if he had received a rare treasure, and then he touched and touched it repeatedly with some love, as if after making sure that the thing in his hand was indeed real, he took out the credit card from the inner pocket of his fur coat and paid on the credit card machine.
At first, he looked at Taiyi's performance a little strangely, but when he saw Taiyi's credit card with a total of only 4,019 federal coins, the man understood something in a trance, spit out a puff of smoke, shook his head and said, "I said little brother, but the eldest brother has seen it, have you also heard the news?" Want to make a fortune in 'Hope'? After asking, Bar Taka took a puff of cigarette, and continued without waiting for Taiyi to answer: "It's not that the eldest brother said that it is not good, I hope that although this is the best game I have ever played, and it is also the most lucrative game, it is also the most difficult game for his mother to play." β
Speaking of this, the man looked angry: "Let's just say that I entered the game on the second day after it started, but it's been three months now, and it's only fucking level 19, and I didn't earn a single point in the money, but I invested thousands, it's really fucking unlucky," said and spit half of the cigarette in his mouth to the ground: "You go in now, I'm afraid it's γγγγγγ"
Looking at Taiyi again, he was still standing there quietly, looking at him with a pair of clear eyes, as if he didn't understand the kindness in his words. As if laughing at himself for saying such nonsense, the man muttered a few words vaguely, snorted twice in his nostrils, and waved his hand to signal that Taiyi could go.
Holding the helmet, Taiyi looked the man up and down, and a big smile suddenly appeared on his delicate cheeks: "Thank you!" β
I have to say that Taiyi's face is not very handsome, but the delicate and white cheeks and those clear eyes make everyone who sees him feel a sense of intimacy, especially when he laughs, it is even more flattering.
The man was stunned, and involuntarily touched his somewhat arrogant cheeks, and then muttered a few words, which was nothing more than "This kid is so fucking good-looking when he laughs, why doesn't Lao Tzu have such a face?" When he went to see Taiyi again, Taiyi had already walked far out of the store, but he still subconsciously shouted a few words.
"Hey, boy, don't choose a profession like a mage when you go in, that thing is not a fucking thingγγγγγγ and if you can't get along, you can come to me, I grew up near Moonless City, Lao Tzu is called Zhang Biaoγγγγγγ hey, fuck, why does Lao Tzu want to tell you this? It's fucking weird todayγγγγγγ"
The figure, which had disappeared into the rain, suddenly paused slightly, and then slowly and completely disappeared into the rain.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
"Kyoto University, thank you!"
In the bus attendant's eyes from disdain to surprise, Taiyi found a position by the window and sat down, his eyes just glanced at the dull town outside the window, and then he closed it and never opened it again, which made the bus attendant who had been scratching his head in front of him for a long time very angry and did not set off.
A little unwilling, the waiter found an opportunity, twisted his pretty good figure, and walked in front of Taiyi: "This classmate, do you need to drink?" Seeing Taiyi's eyes open, the waiter hurriedly gave a charming smile.
Looking at this waiter who tried his best to show himself, Taiyi immediately understood, it was obvious that this waiter and the shopkeeper had misunderstood something, but the starting point was wrong.
There are three ecological parks on the earth, known as the City of Miracles, which are a kind of fully enclosed ecological zones built by the federal government axe with huge assets. The heating in the ecological zone is provided 24 hours a day, so that the whole ecological zone is like spring all year round, the environment is elegant, and the air conditioning system keeps the air that people breathe absolutely fresh, in the eyes of people outside the ecological zone, it can be regarded as a paradise on earth!
Of course, it must be admitted that the original concept of the federal political axe was indeed for all mankind, so that the 5.6 billion yellow people of the whole federation could completely get rid of that bad environment and live in a comfortable environment.
However, the sudden war more than 30 years ago, the endless military expenditure caused a serious shortage of funds for the entire Hundred Gardens Project, and the ecological park was terminated after only three buildings were built. The right to live in these only three eco-parks is undoubtedly the first to be in the hands of the wealthy, families, nobles and those in power who have donated the most. And those civilians ended up living in only a small part, and even if many more of them donated, it seemed to them a huge amount of money!
Even so, in this country that values human rights, there are no riots and no protests, which is simply the most unbelievable thing since the establishment of the Earth Federation!
In fact, the reason is simple, because all the upper-class people in the whole federation are concentrated in the ecological zone, so the regular consumption in it has risen to a point where all the citizens of the federation are afraid, even if they are allowed to live in it, they will not survive, and finally have to admit that the three ecological zones have indeed completely degenerated into aristocratic districts!
Maybe what is left of the citizens of the Federation, in addition to their hatred of those white people, is just to hope that the Federation's economy will recover as soon as possible and restart the Hundred Gardens Project.
And now, the citizens of the outside of the Federation want to live in it, in addition to earning enough money to squander themselves, the women are trying to marry themselves into it; Men can only study hard and try to get into the six universities in the ecological zone, and strive to be a federal elite, serve the federal political axe, or work for the nobles inside.
Kyoto University is the best choice among the six universities!
The waiter obviously recognized Taiyi as a student of Kyoto University, because Taiyi's dress could not be the nobleman inside, from the opening of Kyoto University in the past few days plus Taiyi's appearance and the place he was going, it was very likely that Taiyi was a student of Kyoto Universityγγγγγγ without much explanation, Taiyi showed a smile and shook his head: "No, thank you!" β
Hearing Taiyi's response, the waiter's body moved closer to Taiyi: "Little handsome guy, you are really amazing to be admitted to Kyoto University!" β
Although her voice was not loud, a Kyoto University still attracted the attention of everyone on the bus, and the exclamation came from their mouths from time to time, and Taiyi became the focus of the car in an instant. In this, most people's eyes are just envy and surprise, and there is no other variegation, after all, it can stand out from tens of millions of students, it is all based on real ability.
Taiyi shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not a student. β
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and his body subconsciously moved outward: "Not a student?" Then you? β
"Working there," before the waiter was surprised and wanted to praise something, Taiyi smiled and added: "Be a concierge on campus!" β
There was an instant silence in the car, and the waiter's smile stopped. After a while, he smiled awkwardly at Taiyi, the look of admiration in his eyes disappeared, and his enthusiasm did not decrease much: "Concierge? That's not bad, it's the concierge of Kyoto University! β
Maybe she thinks that every piece of in the ecological park is made of gold, right?
Thinking like this, Taiyi touched the helmet in his arms again, and sighed: "If it was really as good as she thought, I wouldn't have gone outside to buy this helmet, but there is no such lowest-grade goods to sell in the ecological zone!" β
There was a word of chatting with the waiter, and it only took more than ten minutes to arrive at the distance of hundreds of kilometers.
