162 Picked up an uncle and a lori
Wutong didn't plan to identify those ancient coins for the time being, because he found that there seemed to be a lot of types of those ancient coins, and when the time came, it was estimated that there would be many categories, and he had no place to put them, so it was better to carry the ancient coins with him as special currency, and store the low-value iron coins and inferior copper coins in sacks in the warehouse, anyway, he didn't plan to use them for the time being.
1,000,000 iron coins are equivalent to 1 gold coin,100,000 inferior copper coins are only equivalent to 1 gold coin,At present, Ogarus City because of the mission out of the village,Almost gathered 10,000 or 20,000 players,Due to the different types of monsters near each village,Some players have a large amount of waste coins in their hands,More may be thousands,Less there are hundreds。
This led to the acquisition of Wutong, a large number of players will be these heavy and useless scrap iron pieces to exchange for copper coins, accidentally made millions of scrap coins back, iron coins, inferior copper coins, the proportion of ancient coins, according to 40%, 40%, 20% of the actual value of this large pile of scrap coins is about dozens of gold coins, but the acquisition back, but only spent 10 gold coins, a very cost-effective deal.
The piles of scrap coins look quite spectacular there, because Wutong does not plan to cash out these scrap coins immediately, but intends to hoard them to suppress market circulation, so he is not in a hurry to repair them, and if he has the energy value to recover naturally, he will repair them.
The acquired prey occupies the most warehouse area, because the sycamore they accept all the prey, including the seemingly useless level 0 creatures like the toad, they also have unlimited purchases, so the corpses of all kinds of strange low-level creatures piled up in the corpse mountain soon occupied a public reserve warehouse, and the sycamore had to hurry up and rent a few more.
The price of renting a public reserve warehouse is not cheap, the rental cost of a small warehouse is 1 gold coin per day, and the medium and large ones are as high as 5 or 10 gold coins, Sycamore thought of the value of these prey, and ruthlessly rented a large warehouse, plus the two warehouses in Shell Village and Nautilus Village and the two warehouses of Ogarus City, the warehouse cost of Sycamore is as high as 13 gold coins per day!
Sycamore, who felt that his money was flowing out like flowing water, the flesh hurt badly, plus the money consumed by the simultaneous acquisition of the three places, 400 gold coins actually didn't last long, Wutong hurriedly pulled up nothing, and called a few players of the "Pastoral" family to help, and processed the prey on the spot in the warehouse, so that he could make up for the capital consumption.
Because he has been promoted to level 20, the [craft] level that was originally stagnant can also be improved, and Wutong is working frantically, and as long as the proficiency is reached, he will immediately increase the skill level, causing his craft level to grow by leaps and bounds.
But soon, Wutong noticed something unusual, and he now has a variety of [craft] projects, such as:
【Leather processing】:
[Peeling]+12, [Skinning]+12, [Tanning]+12【Prey Processing】:
[Disassembly]+6, [Anatomy]+6, [Deboning]+6【Herbology】:
[Collect +3], [Identify +3], [Handle +3]
【Pharmacy】:
[Crafting Potion +3], [Concoction Potion +3]
The 3 crafts of leather processing, when he obtained it, it was +3 level, and he himself consumed 3 skill points to upgrade it to +6 level, this time the tanner gave him a [leather processing] professional +6 level soul crystal as a reward, so that he has a level 12 craft level, plus the bonus of skill synergy +1, tool +1, and overalls +1, theoretically it can reach level 15 quality.
But the problem is, he now has a level 16 quality production!
This was discovered only when Sycamore peeled off a [perfect] quality toad coat, because to peel off a [perfect] quality toad coat, the [peeling] level required required was level 16!
I only have a level 12 skill level, and with a +3 bonus, it's only level 15, so how can there be a level 16 [quality]?
Wutong took a closer look and studied it before he realized that the effect of [Skill Synergy] was no longer +1, but +2!
Every time the level of the craft itself reaches a multiple of [5], he will receive a +1 bonus, and his current +12 skill level is naturally +1 more than the previous +6!
Speaking of which, if Sycamore increases his [Peeling] skill to level 23 and gains a [Synergy] +4 bonus, plus a +2 bonus to tools and overalls, the actual skill level can reach level 29!!
How much does it cost to process a product from a grade 29?
This discovery made Sycamore excited, which meant that as his skill level increased, the higher the income he would earn from processing, and Sycamore decided to point all his crafts to level 23!
However, when Wutong got carried away with the improvement of processing proficiency and continued to improve the level of craftsmanship, he suddenly found that he seemed to want to fill all the [craft], [skill] and [knowledge] items, and his skill points were not enough!!
This stunned Sycamore, you know, he has reached level 20 and has gained a lot of skill points!
From the beginning of the character building, you can get the starting skill points of "(2 + Intelligence Modifier) ×4" on the legal route, and at level 0 of the Sycamore, you will have "+4 Intelligence Modifier", plus the [Human] race has an additional 4 skill points, and you will get 28 skill points at once!
Then every time the legal route is upgraded, the skill points that can be obtained are "2 + intelligence correction", plus the [human] race has an extra 1 point for every level 1, and the Sycamore upgrade to level 20 is equivalent to a total of 208 skill points!
However, just to point the 3 skills of [Leather Processing] to level 23, you need 42 skill points, and to fill [Prey Processing] points, you need 51 skill points!
What about these two [majors], [herbology]? What about [pharmacy]? [Secret Medicine], [Enchantment], [Heraldry], [Alchemy], [Rune] and the most terrifying skills of the teacher, just [knowledge], there are more than a dozen categories, dozens of children, all of which need to be added separately!
Sycamore almost fainted!
Before, because of the skills and skills learned, the initial 28 skill points were not used up, and Wutong never noticed the important surname of the skill points, and when he really used it, he found that the skill points he could obtain were too huge to be the skill points he wanted to use!!
He hadn't even begun to formally contact the formal profession of the mage profession yet!
"Dead! He's dead! ”
Wutong broke out in a cold sweat, he suddenly understood, why NPCs occasionally give away skill soul crystals directly, if there is no other channel, just rely on the skill points brought by the player's own upgrades, you can't learn much at all!
Like him, who "doesn't take the usual path" and doesn't use the professional skills of a mage, but quickly fills up [Leather Processing] and [Prey Processing], it is estimated that players with a little game experience will not do this!
Wutong understands why there have been no mage players with [craft] skills, because the things involved in mages are not used at all in the early stage, and mage players simply set aside skill points for other projects first!
"Scrapped?"
Wutong looked at the [leather processing] and [prey processing] that were almost full of himself in a daze, and he realized why many old players advocated specialization, just to avoid a situation where he would not be able to do anything.
Wutong, who was about to regret his death, couldn't help but complain: "Why did someone remind me? "Although he also realized that he had to focus on the professional skills of the mage, but the mage was as poor as a ghost, and he didn't want to make money, so he couldn't play at all!
This is simply an infinite loop of dead knots, if the mage wants to get out of the position, he has to burn a lot of money, but where does the money come from? Don't you have to earn it yourself? How to earn? Naturally, it is to learn [craftsmanship], but learning production and processing craftsmanship will inevitably consume skill points that are never enough!
"I remember when I was out of the island, I thought I had a chance to wash up?" Wutong recalled, and then worried: "But it doesn't seem to say that you can wash the skill points"
"No matter! That's already it anyway. Wutong once again plunged headlong into the sea of corpses and blood.
Everyone was busy, and after a long time, Sycamore suddenly heard the prompt from the guide:
"Destroyer, although the task of destroying the world is important, but the villain also needs to rest, you should already feel a little tired, find a hotel to rest well, by the way, you can plan, the next step is to destroy that village?"
Sycamore sweated a little, since his title became [Destroyer], the tone of the guide when he spoke to him changed, but as soon as he was reminded by the guide, Sycamore really felt a little "tired".
Yawned, Wutong stopped the processing work in his hand, raised his head and looked around, surprised to find that all the players seemed to be tired, what is going on? Do you get tired during the game?
One yawning after another, like a contagion, quickly made all the players sleepy-eyed, and when Sycamore was immersed in the focus of reprocessing, the acquisition work was almost completed, and most of the players had already completed the transaction at the acquisition booth set up outside the warehouse, except for those part-time players who were hired to sort and sort the materials, they had already left.
After moving his body, Wutong only felt that his whole body was sore, and he couldn't wait to find a place to lie down directly, why did he feel so long tonight? Wutong went to Shell Village, and after coming back, he tossed for a long time, and it felt longer than a night, but there was still no sign of light.
Little Lori didn't know when she was tired of playing, she was already very well-behaved and fell asleep on a large pile of sacks with the embarrassing monkey in her arms, half a cigarette rubbed her eyes and came over to ask for instructions: "Mr. Mu, it seems that it's time to go offline, let's deal with the rest at night, we have to find a hotel quickly." ”
"Offline?" Wutong was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, they didn't seem to have been off the line for 3 days.
"Okay, let's disband." Wutong could only nod: "After going online, or gather here?" ”
A group of people agreed on a place to gather after the launch, and then dispersed in a hurry, rushing to do some personal things before the offline time came.
Leaving the public reserve warehouse, Wutong and Wu took the initiative to smile and found that the originally bustling and lively City of Ogalus was really a bit of a dead of night at this time, and the number of players who were still active was much smaller, and even the NPCs had returned home, and the number of torches and lanterns used for lighting on the street had also decreased a lot, and the light was dimmed, exuding a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Wutong felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't hold on, so he quickly found a hotel, opened three rooms, settled down and slept with a snotty smile, and hurriedly entered the simple but clean guest room after saying goodnight, climbed into the wooden bed and lay down, and fell asleep almost as soon as he put his head on the soft pillow...... As soon as he opened his eyes, Wutong happily stretched out a lazy waist with a toad kicking legs, and was used to rolling around on the bed to "exercise" his body, and then he got up refreshed.
But when he put on the slippers, he was suddenly stunned, and reacted, he was no longer in the game, why was his mental state still so good?
How many years have you not felt this state of energy and energy? Wutong looked at his hands in surprise and touched his head again, is this body really his own? Why don't you feel as weak and powerless as before?
Looking at the time, Wutong was stunned to find that only 6 hours had passed since he entered the game.
Confused, Wutong walked out of the bedroom, walked around the house a few times, and went to the yard again, took a few deep breaths of the plants on Xiaoxiang Mountain, and released it after a night of hard work, filled the entire courtyard with a thick phytoncide, and suddenly felt refreshed.
Standing in the courtyard, the sycamore looked up at the beautiful dark white blue sky, on which hung the snow-white moon girl and a few bright naughty stars, and in the fresh light mist of the early morning, the sun had just peeked out of the horizon with a small orange-red bald head.
Sycamore was immediately moved by this beautiful view, he seemed to have not seen such a picture for a long time, no, it should be said, he almost never saw such a picture with his own eyes, and on a few occasions he also watched it from the image.
Because of his weak physique, Wutong has not been in good health since he was a child, and his mental state is very poor due to brain problems, and under the body's self-protection instinct, he is particularly sleepy, and he falls asleep more than 2/3 of the time every day, so he especially cherishes the time when he is awake.
Although he can't exercise vigorously, he is already very satisfied with being able to open his eyes and see the world, after all, he often laughs at himself for his physical state, and he doesn't look at it at a glance, which is why he didn't go to the hotel to sleep for the first two nights in "Endless".
Some players can't help but want to sleep at night because of habit problems, which has nothing to do with physical needs, but is just an instinctive habit of human beings.
"Could it be that playing "Endless" still has the function of healing?"
Sycamore used the personal information terminal on his wrist suspiciously, logged in to the official virtual community of "Endless World" and began to look for relevant information, and after studying for a long time, Wutong figured out what was going on with the "time" in "Endless" and his own state.
It turns out that in the "dream system" of "Endless", "consciousness time" is used, which is "unequal" and "disordered" with real time.
The so-called "conscious time" is the perception of the passage of time by human beings, the simplest example is that some people can accurately calculate 1 minute time under 60 times, but some people can only calculate half a minute under 60 times, which is the error of consciousness time.
"Time is slower than we thought!" This is what a certain scientist said.
The "movement of consciousness" of human beings is theoretically 5,361.12 million times the speed of light, and this movement faster than light has caused the "consciousness time" to be as vicissitudes as a year.
Therefore, no matter how long players feel they have spent in the game in "Endless", in fact, under the "fragment asymmetry" operation mechanism of "Dream System", it is not the correct concept of time.
"Endless" makes good use of this "fragment asymmetry" mechanism, because in "Endless", there are many special maps, after entering the map, the speed of time passing may be accelerated or slowed down, it is very likely to stay in a certain "small map" for ten days and half a month, and when you return to the "big map", you find that only a day or two have passed, and it is only an hour or two after quitting the game.
In other words, no matter how long you feel you have spent in "Endless", the time between you entering "Endless" and leaving "Endless" is only 6 hours, which is "00:00-06:00".
After the player goes offline, in fact, during the day, they can still re-enter the game, but they can't leave the village, so in reality, 18 hours, no matter when you enter "Endless", is still stuck in this "long, long night".
If you calculate it sloppily, 72 hours in "Endless" is equivalent to 6 hours in reality, and 18 hours in reality is only equivalent to one night in "Endless".
Players will feel "tired" and "sleepy" in the "Long Night" for different time periods, some may have been sleepy at night on the first day, and found a hotel to sleep early, and some may have been in good spirits until the third day, until the third day of the "Long Night" was forced offline, this is because he may have slept well in reality before entering "Endless".
The current state of the sycamore is related to the "sleep" in the game, because in the game in "Endless", it is in a shallow sleep, so it only needs to be guided by the core consciousness of "Endless", quickly enter deep sleep, and maintain 2 hours of sleep time, you can meet the needs of the human body all day, and it will not cause a trance of mental state because of playing games all night.
This state of excellent quality sleep, also known as "golden sleep", has been scientifically proven that humans only need 2 hours of abundant "golden sleep" every day to provide a full day of energy.
In the past, although he slept more than ten hours a day, because of brain problems, he needed to be highly focused at any time to control his emotions and behaviors, to avoid being too nervous or too excited, causing blood vessels to burst, over time, Sycamore can not only instinctively control his emotional response through consciousness, but also can forcibly control his body organs through consciousness.
For example, he was able to control the speed and strength of his heart to avoid the rapid heartbeat and overpressure of blood supply in the case of hyperactivity, which would impact his weak cerebral capillaries, and at the same time, this instinct that was close to "superpower" also made his ability to control his body very amazing, which is why Wutong once doubted that his "intelligence" and "agility" caste in "Endless" were full value, which came from this.
Although this habit of high concentration has allowed him to hone his "superpowers" that can forcibly control his consciousness and body reactions, it has also caused him to have poor sleep quality, and he can only stay in light sleep, and he will be awakened at the slightest movement, and his daily mental state will naturally not be better.
And now, the "golden sleep" brought by "Endless", although it cannot improve his physical state, can relax his highly tense instinctive consciousness, and his natural mental state has been restored excellently.
Wutong, who didn't expect to have this kind of benefit in playing the game, almost yelled excitedly, but fortunately realized in time that he was no longer in the game, and if he was as unscrupulous as in the game, it was very likely that the blood vessels would burst and hang up, and it would be worth the loss, and the joy would be sad.
For a moment, I felt that the world was so beautiful Wutong, I thought about it, and went to inspect the Bauhinia Manor under my care with great interest, and took a walk by the way as exercise, maybe in this way, I could improve my physical condition and make him gradually healthy?
It took more than an hour to inspect the entire ancient Bauhinia Manor, and the sycamore, nodded with satisfaction, um! Every house is there! Very good! Didn't lose it!
Yo Dada returned to the two-story villa closest to the gate of the manor, where he lived as the "manor gatehouse", planning to make a breakfast to eat and encourage his sycamore, when passing by the yard, he accidentally saw four or five dart targets nailed to the courtyard wall covered with vines, and subconsciously took out the [projectile item] magic trick with one hand and picked up the [projectile item] with the other, and quickly muttered the secret spell in his mouth.
He didn't react until he dug his pocket, couldn't help but smirk, scratched his head and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, saying that it was breakfast, but he just found two eggs in the empty refrigerator that he didn't know when to put them in
Eating two omelettes that are twelve ripe on one side and two ripe on one side, adding up to fourteen ripe omelettes, Wutong still can't get enough of it, it seems that because his mental state has improved, his appetite has also improved a lot, if he can get up so early every day in the future, it seems that he should go to buy some food and come back to stock up, so that he can eat breakfast healthier in the future.
You must know that in the past, the daily work and rest time of the sycamore was to get up at about 10 o'clock in the morning, because of the dizziness and no appetite and save breakfast, and then eat a meal at noon in order to survive, and ask the nutritionist to specially match and package the nutritious meal, the light wave heating can be eaten, although the nutrition but the taste does not need to be considered.
Then take a walk in the manor in the afternoon as a exercise, take a nap or two for an hour, and then leave the manor and take the floating light rail to the city center to visit the model shop, see this bustling world to prove that you are still alive, and then eat a nutritious meal after coming back, basically at seven or eight o'clock you will be exhausted, and you can't hold on to fall asleep again.
This is the law of Sycamore's bland, boring and boring life, and now it seems that there is an opportunity for improvement, and Sycamore feels that he has to work hard all of a sudden, and he goes out after a little preparation.
In the city's supermarket, Wutong was very happy to move, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea bought a lot of things that he had never bought, and when he swiped the personal information terminal to check out, he found that his living expenses this month seemed to be running out!
The amount of living expenses of Wutong each month is fixed, because he usually doesn't spend much money at all, so often his pocket money is used by him to buy a variety of interesting model toys and quirky collectibles, but when he really spends money, he finds that his pocket money seems to be really pitiful.
The inexperienced Wutong ran into some trouble when he left the supermarket, he bought too many things, how did he transport the contents of several shopping carts???
When he was worried, a very gentle and polite voice sounded behind Wutong: "Sir, do you need help?" ”
Wutong was stunned for a moment, looked back, but found that it was a haggard middle-aged man who looked a little down, his hair was a little messy, but it could be seen that he had carefully groomed his hairstyle, some vicissitudes but with a pair of very delicate gold wire rimmed glasses on his face, with a gentle smile, but I don't know why there was a trace of embarrassment in his expression, the tall and slender figure is not at all bloated and fat of ordinary middle-aged people, and the clothes that look a little dirty are actually a suit that Wutong does not know, and the style is very chic.
Looking at this dress, Wutong didn't understand the identity of the middle-aged man, he looked a little dirty, and his haggard appearance seemed to be a homeless man, but his dress and temperament didn't seem to be very compatible with the homeless man, although his face was a little thin, but the charm of a mature man made him look like a handsome old man.
Looking at his temperament and the demeanor between his eyebrows, Wutong felt that he should haunt the high-class occasions of the upper class, rather than appearing at the exit of the supermarket with a down-and-out appearance, maybe a former successful person who had suffered something.
"Uh, thank you, it's nothing, it's just that I bought a little too much" Wutong smiled dryly, at least people were very polite, and he didn't want to ignore him.
"Sir, do you need me to help you get your things to the car?" The middle-aged man looked at Wutong with some expectation.
"Uh, no, okay? It's too much trouble for you. Wutong was a little puzzled, this middle-aged man didn't look like a supermarket worker? How can you be so enthusiastic about helping others?
"No trouble! No hassle! Sir, I can do that! ”
Saying that, the middle-aged man took the initiative to push the shopping cart attentively: "May I ask where your car is, let me help you put your things in the car." ”
Wutong sweated a little, and was about to say "I don't have a car", but the middle-aged man had already pushed two full shopping carts towards the parking lot of the supermarket.
Wutong, who couldn't understand the middle-aged man's intentions, was about to tell him that he didn't have a car, but when he thought about it, with such two big cars, he definitely couldn't carry it on the floating light rail, so it was better to call a taxi, and people were so enthusiastic, so they asked him to help move things to the taxi.
Just as he was walking towards the exit of the supermarket, Wutong suddenly found that outside the window of a fast food store in the supermarket, there was a very familiar little figure standing. ”
Although the appearance of Little Lori looks different from that in "Endless", the player character image in "Endless" is automatically established by the mechanism of "subconscious blurring", and the generated character image, height, and body shape are basically in line with the real appearance, but the appearance is generated because the player himself is not familiar with his own appearance, and the appearance is very similar to the real appearance and temperament, but the character appearance is completely different.
Under this premise, the appearance of the player, except for friends and acquaintances around him, it is difficult for others to connect with reality to protect the player's ** and personal safety.
So as soon as Wutong saw the silhouette of the little Lori, there were six or seven percent sure that the little Lori who was standing outside the window of the fast food restaurant, with little fingers in her mouth, and looked at the freshly baked egg tart in the window with tears in her eyes, was smiling.
"Laugh?!" I am not very sure that Wutong tried to scream, Xiao Lori turned her head suddenly, there were tears left on her pink little face, and after watching Wutong stunned for a while, she suddenly burst into a torrent like "Wow~~~", crying and rushing to Wutong, she threw herself into Wutong's arms, and almost knocked down the small body of Wutong.
"Don't cry! Don't cry! Xiaoxiao, why are you here? What about your mother? Wutong looked at the little Lori who was crying in amazement, rubbing her little head back and forth, and all the snot and tears on his stomach.
"Woo~ Don't laugh! Nobody, no one likes to laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh," crying and hiccupping, the little Lori was sad, and she didn't make it clear what was going on for a long time.
The middle-aged man who had walked out of the distance with two shopping carts saw that Wutong didn't keep up, and pushed the cart back, but he stood aside very politely and waited without a word, just looked at the little Lori who was throwing herself in Wutong's arms with a little curiosity.
"It's okay, it's okay, Brother Wutong will take you to find your mother, okay?" Wutong hurriedly hugged the petite body of the little Lori in his arms, and gently patted her back to comfort her, but he didn't expect it to be okay not to mention her mother, and the little Lori who was slowly sobbing and not crying was crying more and more.
Sycamore, who has never coaxed a child, is coaxing and teasing, tossing for half an hour and failing to make the little Lori stop opening the gates of tears, passers-by are surprised by the eyes of the sycamore embarrassed, crying a little Lori is too guilty, the middle-aged man who is still pushing the shopping cart is also embarrassed to stand next to him, not to go, not to go.
accidentally saw the egg tart in the window of the fast food store next to him, and Wutong had an idea: "Smile and don't cry, Brother Wutong will buy you egg tarts to eat, okay?" ”
The crying little Lori who was sad was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sobbed and stretched out two little fingers: "Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao wants two!" "Both the sycamore and the middle-aged man sweated profusely.
Holding the little Lori and standing up, Wutong was a little embarrassed to say to the middle-aged man: "I'm sorry, look"
"It's okay! Never mind! I can wait for you here. The middle-aged man smiled slightly with eagerness.
"Uh, that's it? That's too much trouble for you" Wutong smiled apologetically at him, quickly bought a box of egg tarts at the take-out window of the fast food restaurant, and led the little Lori to sit down in the outdoor seating area of the supermarket, watching the little Lori sobbing and snorting while stuffing the egg tart into the small mouth.
Wutong saw that little Lori stopped crying, and asked what happened to Little Lori? Why did a person run out? What about the family?
But the little Lori is buried in the little head and desperately shakes her head.,And the little mouth is stuffed with an egg tart.,Don't say it.,Sycamore that's called a headache.,It's so weird.,Little Lori is only one person in the game.,There's no rule that underage players can't enter the game alone.,But Wutong didn't expect that he never came to the supermarket to shop.,On a whim.,I was able to meet the little Lori picked up in the game.,The same little Lori was picked up by him twice.,It's too much of a coincidence.。
The sycamore who failed in the cliché has no words, what should I do now? Wutong, who has never encountered this situation, scratches his head with a headache, and can't give Xiaoxiao to the police uncle to treat him as a lost child, right? He couldn't bear not to say it, and little Lori definitely wouldn't do it.
Little Lori's mouth moved, the corners of her mouth were stained with the dregs and cream of the egg tart, and after secretly looking at Wutong for a while, she timidly raised a small hand and handed an egg tart to Wutong's mouth: "Brother eat." ”
Wutong saw the little Lori's flattering little appearance, completely defeated, and decided to take the little Lori home first, and then asked slowly when her mood was stable, so he smiled and shook his head: "Brother doesn't eat, laugh and eat!" After eating, I went home with my brother. ”
When little Lori heard this, it was like a sunny day after a rain, and her timid little face suddenly burst into a cute smile, and she jumped up and shouted happily: "Brother Wutong is the best!" Xiaoxiao knows that Brother Wutong won't stop laughing! Brother Sycamore is the best! As he spoke, he pounced over and kissed Sycamore with cream on the face.
Wutong sweated profusely, hurriedly pulled off the smile, smiled and giggled, rolled his big eyes, and suddenly saw the middle-aged man who had been sitting next to him very embarrassed, looked at Wutong curiously, and very obediently stretched out his little hand to hand the egg tart that was a little broken by her to the middle-aged man: "Uncle eat!" ”
The middle-aged man, who was very embarrassed, was stunned, and looked at the cute little Lori who smiled sweetly for a while, he looked down and looked straight, the baked crispy and crispy golden egg tart, his throat moved slightly, and he raised his hand with a smile and touched the little Lori's head: "Uncle doesn't eat it, eat it with a smile." ”
"Oh~" Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't eat it, Xiao Lori stuffed the egg tart into her small mouth, stirred her cheeks a few times, swallowed the egg tart, wiped her small mouth, and happily pulled Wutong: "Brother, Xiaoxiao is finished eating, is it okay to take Xiaoxiao home?" ”
Wutong was helplessly pulled up by Xiaoxiao, glanced at the middle-aged man, he quickly got up and pushed the shopping cart and walked towards the parking lot, Wutong hurriedly shouted: "Well, I didn't drive, let's go call a taxi." ”
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, nodded, pushed the shopping cart to the exit, took the initiative to help Wutong stop a taxi, and began to move two large carts of things into the trunk of the taxi, Wutong had never encountered this situation, and he didn't know what to say to the middle-aged man, so he was embarrassed and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you!" Thank you! It's too much trouble for you. ”
After the installation was completed, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands in embarrassment, looked at the also embarrassed Wutong and stopped: "Uh, sir, can you do it?"
Wutong, who didn't react, froze: "What? ”
"Uh, nothing, goodbye."
The middle-aged man suddenly smiled a little reluctantly, glanced at the smile that had climbed into the taxi happily, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked at Wutong and said expectantly: "Is it convenient for you to hold so many things?" Do you need me to send you home? ”
"Huh?" Wutong was dumbfounded, looked at a large number of things that were put in the trunk, and hesitated, it's not good to trouble others so much, right?
"Actually, can I" The middle-aged man was incoherent for a long time, and lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'll help you move things home, can you pay me a little money?" A little bit will do."
Wutong looked at him dumbfounded, the middle-aged man's face turned red, and he smiled a little panicked: "It's okay!" Never mind! If it's not convenient for you, just say goodbye! As he spoke, he almost ran away and turned to leave.
"Thank you so much, will you get in the car with us?" Wutong finally reacted, and finally understood what was going on, and the back of his neck was hot, and he hurriedly stopped him.
This person doesn't seem to be a bad person, and his background doesn't seem to be bad, it seems that something has happened to cause him to be down like a homeless man, under the self-esteem and dignity, and he can't pull down his son to beg directly like a beggar, and he actually thought of helping Wutong move things to work, in exchange for a little reward, it should be a short time to be down, and he has not yet adapted to the life of a homeless man.
The middle-aged man glanced at Wutong, hesitated for a moment, blushed and lowered his head and sat in the front seat of the taxi, and was embarrassed to turn back.
Wutong looked at the back of the middle-aged man in the back seat, guessing what had happened to him, but it was nothing more than unemployment or debt, in this recessionary era, there would be tens of thousands of people like him every day.
It's just ten minutes, the taxi stopped in front of the Bauhinia Manor, seeing such a large and quaint manor, the middle-aged man who hurriedly got off the car and planned to move things was flustered for a while, and was called a few times by the Wutong before coming back to his senses, and hurriedly moved a lot of things bought by the Wutong into it.
After putting the things away, he stood outside the door with some restraint, Wutong thought for a while, and invited: "Sir, please come in and rest, drink some tea, and eat some snacks, right?" He could see that the middle-aged man was hungry.
The middle-aged man nodded silently, and walked into the small villa of Wutong.
As soon as Xiaoxiao arrived at Wutong's nest, it was like a little cat patrolling the new territory, running up and down happily, turning the small villa around, while the middle-aged man sat on the sofa in the living room, a little embarrassed and a little nervous.
Wutong said that he wanted to invite others to drink tea and eat snacks, but he found that he didn't drink tea at all, and there was no tea at all, so he had to take out a bottle of juice from the things he just bought, and took out a lot of snacks, and put them in front of the middle-aged man with a dry smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't find tea"
The middle-aged man looked at a large number of snacks and juice drinks in front of him, his face turned red all of a sudden, his body moved, and he seemed to be about to stand up and leave, but the slender palms that seemed to have been well maintained trembled and slowly clenched into fists, lowered his head and was silent for a long time, silently picked up the bread and pastries in front of him and ate them slowly.
Wutong didn't know what to say to him, secretly looked at his account, and found that this month's living expenses were only more than 100 yuan, usually he didn't spend much money, and the living expenses were used up, anyway, he didn't buy anything, and his physical condition couldn't eat and drink anything, at most, he was occasionally greedy, bought a little snack to eat, and couldn't eat too much, as for the nutritious meal, it would be sent by the medical institution where he regularly checked his body every month, so he would eat and drink and stay at home without worry.
It is estimated that this middle-aged man has encountered something that is not going well, otherwise looking at his appearance, he will not fall into this depressed appearance, Wutong is soft-hearted and decides to give him a little money.
"Sir, this uncle, what's your account number? I have a little money here," Sycamore scratched his head.
The middle-aged man who was eating paused for a moment, put down the half-eaten bread, his face turned red and white, turned white and red, after a while, he seemed to have decided something, looked up at Wutong with some red eyes, and said in a trembling voice with a hint of pleading: "Sir, thank you, I am not a beggar, I don't want money, thank you for your kindness, and thank you for your hospitality, I should have said goodbye, but do you need it I mean I mean can I ask you to give me a chance to work?" ”
Sycamore looked at him with his mouth open, hiring someone? I? I'm just the "caretaker" of this manor, right? What does the administrator do? Moreover, it seems that there is no need for people to work in the manor, don't you see that he only occasionally thinks about it and goes to inspect the buildings that are never lost?
"Sir! I'm not a bad person! I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is 'Cheng Yubin', my identity is uh, my current identity is an unemployed, I don't have any bad records, I don't know if you need a housekeeper? I feel like I can do it with my abilities! ”
Seeing that Wutong was stunned, the middle-aged man was a little nervous and anxious: "Please believe me, this is my identity information, if you don't need a housekeeper, a servant or a gardener, I can too" Saying that, he projected his identity information from his personal information terminal, and there was no way to forge a very special display light curtain.
Wutong took a look curiously, the identity information of this middle-aged man called "Cheng Yubin" is very perfect, but he can't see anything, it is a very normal name, surname, age, nationality, race, citizen number and place of residence, the only thing that surprised Wutong is his "citizenship credibility", it turned out to be golden!
To tell the truth, Wutong doesn't know the level of "citizen credibility", but knows that according to the different credibility, it will present different colors, and the details are not very clear, ordinary people are white, like he is white, it seems that the greater the contribution of citizens to society, the higher the important surname, the higher the proportion of credibility, and the color will be different from ordinary people, gold seems to belong to a relatively high credibility level.
"Uh, but" Looking at the middle-aged Cheng Yubin's sincere expression, Wutong suddenly didn't know how to refuse him, but the question is, what did he hire a housekeeper for?
"Sir! I don't need a salary! ”
As if seeing Wutong's embarrassment, Cheng Yubin said sincerely: "You should see that my current situation is very bad, I have encountered some places where I need a temporary place to live, some food to live in, I won't bother you for too long, and if you are not satisfied with my service, you can bring it up at any time, and I will leave consciously." ”
"But uh, well!" Wutong felt that she was snuggled up to him well-behaved, and the little Lori who grabbed his arm with her little hand shook his arm gently, and her big eyes revealed "This uncle is so pitiful!" Wutong relented and agreed to the middle-aged uncle to stay.
"Thank you! Thank you! Mr. Wu! ”
Cheng Yubin stood up gratefully, politely but not humbly, bowed slightly: "I know, my request is very unreasonable, and it is also very difficult, but I have now reached a dead end, and I have to ask for your help. Also, what should I call you? Boss? Master? Still is? ”
Master? Wutong froze: "Uncle Cheng can call me Wutong directly, don't be too polite, 'you' come and 'you' go, and you don't have to do any work like 'housekeeper' or 'gardener', you should live here temporarily, to be honest, there is nothing to do in this manor, in addition, you don't need to call me 'Mr. Wu', I don't have the surname 'Wu', my surname is 'Mu'"
