Chapter 162: Making a Living
In the evening of the second day after Xiao Tianlei woke up, Xiao Tianlei was in his room, and through the window, he could see the dense lights of every house in the night, which were much more crowded than twenty years ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiao Tianlei plans to wait for his parents to fall asleep and try some things, his parents are watching TV, Xiao Tianlei can only wait, and there is nothing to do during the waiting time, so he goes online to pass the time. During the day, Xiao Tianlei bought a new set of personal smart equipment to allow him to access the network.
After 20 years of development, electronic technology has advanced rapidly, and now it is difficult to distinguish what computers, mobile phones, and a set of personal intelligent equipment can almost do everything. However, as 20 years ago, some of the most advanced electronic equipment, still middle-aged, young generation use more, the development of science and technology is to bring a lot of convenience, but it will also bring some problems, some people use some high-tech means to defraud, steal, means of continuous renovation, older, like Xiao Tianlei's parents age, do not understand very well, in order to avoid encountering similar situations, simply try to use those technology equipment as little as possible, but use some simplified functions of the elderly mobile phone, Still maintain some of the more traditional living habits.
When buying smart devices, my mother reminded Xiao Tianlei to beware of being deceived, talking about the examples of some people in the community being deceived, what was stolen to get a credit card, the money in the bank card was transferred, fake beauties to cheat money, disguise government departments to intimidate, etc., and other things such as keeping a distance when seeing the elderly walking alone, keeping a distance when seeing black people, etc., Xiao Tianlei thought that the community where he lived was as calm and stable as 20 years ago, but now it seems that it is not as good as imagined.
There are various styles of personal smart devices, and the smart equipment purchased by Xiao Tianlei is like a pair of glasses with a small box outside, and there are some functional accessories, which are relatively decent smart equipment, mainly used for personal communication shopping, entertainment games, etc.
Although he already knows from the TV that virtual reality technology has been very developed, Xiao Tianlei is still amazed when he uses this smart equipment, it directly projects the picture onto the retina, Xiao Tianlei sees some three-dimensional images as if they are real, which makes him feel that he can't distinguish between reality and virtuality.
Intelligent equipment is connected to the network, and enters the homepage of a search company, and the content that can be seen is a hundred times richer, all kinds of information, Xiao Tianlei is more familiar with one point, about: There are still a lot of advertisements.
Xiao Tianlei wanted to find information about "League of Legends", searching for the word "League of Legends", and the first thing that jumped into his eyes was a large number of similar games, as well as some other popular games, as well as some introduction of scantily clad virtual beauties, gorgeous game pages and game scenes.
"League of Legends" is not as popular as it was twenty years ago, Xiao Tianlei spent some effort to find "League of Legends" from many games, but, there is a big difference from the "League of Legends" in Xiao Tianlei's memory, after all, twenty years have passed, people, always like the new and hate the old, with the progress of technology, "League of Legends" has long been updated, becoming a large-scale game of virtual reality, there are many new heroes, the skills of old heroes have also changed, the character modeling has also changed, and the skills are more exaggerated than one another, The effect is gorgeous and dazzling, compared with the LOL system on Xiao Tianlei's body, it is really low, but, to say magical, of course, it is still the LOL system on Xiao Tianlei's body, and the new "League of Legends" on the Internet is just a game.
The new "League of Legends" has no reference value for Xiao Tianlei, but Xiao Tianlei still wants to try it, and he didn't go to fight against people, and entered the game mode of fighting against artificial intelligence, that is, the man-machine mode.
Xiao Tianlei chose a free hero who is more familiar and has not changed much in the game's skills, the power of Demacia - Galen.
Twenty years ago, Xiao Tianlei has always been very good at playing games, and when he first played "League of Legends", he was a cheat, mainly because his reaction was a little slow and his finger speed couldn't keep up.
However, the operation of today's game has been diversified compared with the original, players can choose independently, the new "League of Legends" game, try to simulate the real combat scene, it is said that the high-end game warehouse can be immersive, in order to play a certain role in exercise, into some elements of fighting games, no longer rely on finger speed, mainly reaction speed and correct combat strategy, as well as fighting skills.
With Xiao Tianlei's current smart device accessories, you can also play smoothly, Xiao Tianlei enters the classic 5vs5 battle mode, chooses to control the mode with body movements, and operates Galen to fight, the basic process of the game is still the same as the previous "League of Legends", kill small soldiers to earn gold coins to buy equipment, and find opportunities to kill the opponent's heroes.
Xiao Tianlei has rich combat experience in the alien planet, his reaction speed is much faster than ordinary people now, and he doesn't care who his teammates are, he is still here to practice heroes or to have fun, he wields a big sword, sees a small soldier, cut! See enemy heroes and slash! It's just that you need dodging skills, which is not a problem for Xiao Tianlei.
firstblood!
……
doublekill!
……
triplekill!
……
quadrakill!
……
pentakill!
……
You're unstoppable!
……
You're already supernatural!
……
Xiao Tianlei just killed all the way over, seeing who cut whom, cutting people, demolishing towers, and dismantling crystals, all in one go, from time to time you can hear some voice prompts, as well as the words of teammates, "Don't dismantle it too fast, I still have to practice new heroes!" "Big brother, are you out of love? Kill the computer to vent, right? "Big Galen has a good time 666!" Wait, unknowingly already won.
At the end of a game, Xiao Tianlei has a feeling of embarrassment, the game is virtual after all, even if the technology is already very advanced, artificial intelligence is definitely different compared to real battles, skill casting and moves are somewhat patterned, nothing has changed, from Xiao Tianlei's point of view, there are a bunch of loopholes, if it weren't for the fact that the characters in the game have blood volume, they won't die if they don't see the bottom, put it in reality, they are all slashed to death with a sword, such a game is played, Xiao Tianlei is naturally not very comfortable, There is no feeling of a life-and-death fight at all.
After playing a game of man-machine, he looked at the time, it was only more than eight o'clock, his parents had not slept yet, Xiao Tianlei entered the game again, this time, he wanted to try the live-action mode.
firstblood!
……
doublekill!
……
triplekill!
……
quadrakill!
……
pentakill!
……
You're unstoppable!
……
You're already supernatural!
……
The whole process is almost the same as the man-to-man machine, and the end of the game still ends with the victory of Xiao Tianlei's side.
Those heroes controlled by the player, compared to artificial intelligence, skills and moves are flexible, but how clever they are, it is nothing more than natural reflexes and some instinctive moves. What clever moves can ordinary people learn? There are also martial arts on the earth, and there may be no shortage of skilled martial arts, or martial arts that have evolved into fitness and performance, even so, ordinary people can't touch them.
"One against four, I actually killed three!"
"Cowman, this is all right?!"
"This Galen is so violent, one picks four without pressure!"
"Great God, you're here to tease us, aren't you?"
"That action is so exaggerated, is it a real martial arts master?"
"Those skills are so slippery, the difference is a fraction of a second!"
"Haha, I've met the great god, lie down and win!"
"Take a quick screenshot! I'm going to post it online! ”
"Add a friend!"
……
His teammates praised in the voice, asking to add friends or something, Xiao Tianlei ignored it, and quit directly after it was over, for him, it was just a game, and he still had a lot of serious things.
At this time, the lights in his parents' room had been turned off, Xiao Tianlei sensed it with his spiritual power, made sure that his parents were asleep, closed the curtains, and then sat on the bed, called out the LOL system interface, and used the Astral Wandering God Bard template.
Casting the magical journey of the skill, although I was prepared, the feeling of suddenly extracting a large amount of mental power and suffering a heavy blow to the head again was still uncomfortable. In Xiao Tianlei's sight, the space opened a portal, which was still the kind of light gate that combined magic and science fiction, emitting a faint light, bright but not dazzling, and it was impossible to tell whether it was dark or bright in the middle. The moment the portal opened, Xiao Tianlei clearly sensed the connection on the other end of the portal, which was much stronger than the last time he sensed the body on the earth from an alien planet.
Xiao Tianlei can be sure of one thing at this time, he should be able to return to the alien planet through the portal, but the spirit or soul consciousness crosses, according to the brother on the other side of the alien planet, after a group of witch doctors examined, his body fell into a dormant state, presumably if he goes to the alien planet again, the body on this side of the earth will still fall into dormancy.
To be honest, the body of the earth now makes Xiao Tianlei very uncomfortable, his mental power and body cannot be coordinated, as if he is wearing a tightened tightness, although he can feel that it is slowly improving, it is really slow, I am afraid that it will take a short time to adapt to the body on this side of the earth, which should also have the effect of the dragon bloodline of the dragon blood martial artist template.
The brothers on the other side of the alien star expect Xiao Tianlei to go back soon, however, Xiao Tianlei can't let go of the earth, opening the portal will consume mental power, the last time it consumed a lot, and now it is used again, Xiao Tianlei already feels that his consciousness is a little tired, and it will take a while to recover his mental strength, if he returns to the alien planet, but he does not have enough mental strength to open the portal and come back, then the parents on this side of the earth are afraid that they will have to fall into despair and grief again.
Therefore, this time Xiao Tianlei did not travel back, closed the portal, and he also determined one thing, the day and night of the earth and the alien star are just opposite, one side is day, and the other side is night, and when the spiritual power is restored, maybe you can use it.
Having said that, Xiao Tianlei is now in a dilemma, he owes too much to his parents on this side of the earth, but he can't completely leave the alien star, he has money and status on the alien star, but the earth side is not happy, and many things are difficult to do.
At dinner, my mother and father were chattering, looking for someone to introduce Xiao Tianlei to a partner, while they were still alive, they would get married and have children quickly, and they hoped to hug their grandchildren. It's just that it costs a lot to get married now, with Xiao Tianlei's current conditions, he is in his forties, unemployed, and has no income, and it depends on whether people are willing to find a divorce with children.
Xiao Tianlei didn't think much about getting married, there were a few flower-like girls around him on the other side of the star, why did he marry a wife who knows how many hands it was? Judging from the news and news on the Internet, the marriage in this era is more chaotic than twenty years ago, and it is not ungood, but with Xiao Tianlei's current conditions, it is estimated that it is mysterious.
However, Xiao Tianlei noticed that the family's economic conditions were not well-off, twenty years ago, the family was considered a well-off family, he had been in a coma for so many years, and the expenses such as medical expenses were not small, and he also encountered scammers. Parents don't make much money from stalls, save money, and now they still belong to a relatively poor family, not to mention marriage or something, as children, they have to find a way to earn some money, improve the life of the family, and let parents feel at ease.
However, the way to make money made Xiao Tianlei difficult, thinking about it, he really couldn't think of any way, the world has improved compared to twenty years ago, but there are fewer and fewer ways for ordinary people to choose to make a living.
Seriously, it is really more difficult to survive on the current earth than on the alien planet, the alien star can still hunt, fish, farm, and work, there are always various ways out, on the earth, the bottom people like Xiao Tianlei really have nothing. Nowadays, many things are replaced by machinery, and there is nowhere to sell labor, Xiao Tianlei is not without a skill, but some of the things that he originally knew are no longer applicable, he has been in a coma for twenty years, twenty years of blankness, and he is also old, it is difficult to find a formal job, and it is estimated that no one wants to do odd jobs. Before, Xiao Tianlei went online, there are actually a lot of industries on the Internet, and many people make a living online, but Xiao Tianlei is basically out of touch with society, and he doesn't understand how people make money at all, those people either know how to do it, or they are beautiful and handsome guys with capital, even if they are shemales, Xiao Tianlei is now an uncle in his forties, what can he do?
Xiao Tianlei remembered that it was good to play the new "League of Legends" by himself now, maybe he could earn money by playing games? I checked it out immediately, and playing games can indeed make money, especially competitive games, but now people are also professional and team-oriented, and a set of professional game equipment is astronomical, and there are a bunch of sponsors behind it, which ordinary people can't afford to play. In addition, the contestants have to be young and good-looking, to put it mildly, they have to look at their faces when they come out, beauty is the selling point, and looking strange is also a selling point, but I haven't seen an uncle debut. Besides, one of the main reasons why Xiao Tianlei can play the new "League of Legends" well is his combat experience in alien planets, and his extraordinary reaction speed, he has been in a coma on this side of the earth for 20 years, revealing this ability, how to tell people? He didn't dare take that risk.
Xiao Tianlei is really helpless! If the portal can transmit matter, it will not be a problem to get back a room of gold, silver and jewelry from the alien star, Xiao Tianlei is just thinking about it, even if he can take it, he can't explain the origin, it is also a trouble. Having said that, if you can really travel through matter, Xiao Tianlei will take his parents to a different place to enjoy the stars, and he still needs to toss on the earth?
Irritable in his heart, Xiao Tianlei can only think of something good, at least he has returned to the earth, matter cannot be transmitted, at least, he can transmit some knowledge from this side of the earth to the alien planet. Although the two slap worlds are different, many things are not universal, but the principle is the same, originally relying on Xiao Tianlei's memory and the creation of the LOL system, the technology of the Brotherhood on the other side of the planet has been developed, but if you want to be more detailed and deep, it still has to be accumulated and developed for a long time, and many technologies and processes are not something that Xiao Tianlei can study by talking, but now you can learn from the earth.
Xiao Tianlei had no choice for a while, he could only take one step at a time, no matter what, life still had to be lived honestly.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Tianlei went to set up a stall with his parents, and the location of the stall was located in a vegetable market at the junction of urban and rural areas, more than 20 kilometers away from the community where he lived.
Nowadays, it is actually quite convenient to sell vegetables or something, there are supermarkets outside the community, and there are all kinds of direct distribution, however, these so-called organic, what internationally certified vegetables, meat, that is much more expensive, the average family really can't afford to eat, many people, especially some older people, are still willing to go to the vegetable market to sell cheaper cabbage and some other cheap items, although there are many inferior products, however, the requirements of ordinary people are not high, cheap can be used on the line.
On the way to the vegetable market, my parents were saying that if Xiao Tianlei really couldn't find a job, he would simply set up a stall with them. Xiao Tianlei didn't answer, he knew his own things, he was not a businessman when he was a child, he never bargained when he bought things, and he didn't bargain when he sold things, he had to do business, even if he set up a small stall, it was estimated that he might lose all his underwear. Although doing business is not innate, it can be learned and forced, but how can Xiao Tianlei be in the mood to learn this?
Even if he was reluctant, Xiao Tianlei had to follow, his parents set up a stall and sold a bunch of bits and pieces, each of which was very cheap and didn't make much money, and each one had to bargain with others, and spit was flying.
In the noisy vegetable market, the busy and noisy shouted until the evening, when the vegetable market went down, and the family of three returned home.
When Xiao Tianlei helped his mother cook, his father sat on the sofa and dozed off, Xiao Tianlei saw this and realized that his parents were really old, and they were busy all afternoon, and they were a little lacking in energy.
"Dad, I'll give you a massage." Xiao Tianlei suddenly proposed.
"Oh?! …… Oh......" Dad agreed in a daze, Xiao Tianlei didn't care, stepped forward and pressed directly on his father's shoulder, his mental power worked, hypnotized his father, and waited until he entered a trance, and cast two summoner skills on him one after another - purification and healing.
