Chapter 272: The Fourteenth Quest Borrell Wants to Live Forever 1
Well, Lu Renbing opened his eyes, it was a normal start, he didn't get beaten and didn't suffer anything. It's just that there is a string of green numbers on the arm, like the font on an electronic watch: 0000·00·03·16·56·43, and the number at the end is constantly getting smaller, like a countdown.
Lu Renbing closed his eyes to receive the memory, the owner of this body is 35 years old this year, single, and his name is Borrell. By receiving memories, he gained a preliminary understanding of the world.
The people of this world can theoretically live forever. Because after the age of 25, their bodies no longer age, and as long as they have time, they can survive forever. In order to control the population, or for other reasons, a Time Authority has been established in this world. Plan everyone's time in the world in one place.
One of the most important is the monetization of time. I don't know how it works, anyway, the currency of this world is time, and people who have passed the age of 25 must earn time through various means.
The whole world is divided into 12 time zones. In fact, each time zone represents a class, and the twelfth floor is similar to a slum, where there are the most people, engaged in the lowest level of labor, and earn only enough time to survive every day.
The people in the first time zone are New Greenwich, which is the super-rich area, and they are the best people in the world, with a lot of time and the most luxurious lives.
Borrell, possessed by Lu Renbing, lives in the twelfth district, and his biggest dream is to live forever, and putting it in this world is actually similar to wanting to get rich and make a fortune.
Well, what a strange world, it doesn't look particularly rigorous. Lu Renbing sensed his soul power, but he could only use it, Lu Rending was still a dead dog, and that Raushzi's internal world could sense it.
But Lu Rending had already said that the world he nurtured and the world he lived in in exchange for material things still consumed Lu Renbing's own soul power. That number is still a huge amount, and Lu Renbing doesn't think it's cost-effective. Any operation that makes him spend his soul power is cheating him in Lu Renbing's opinion.
It's impossible to give away soul power, don't even think about it. I can't do it in my own world!! If you want to develop, you can rely on Lu Rending. The soul power that Lu Rending snatched in the last world, except for being ignored by Lu Rending, was spent by Lu Renbing on the upgrading of the small world.
Although no one has said that there is a problem with the soul power that was snatched, Lu Renbing feels that the kind of soul power that comes for nothing should not be used on himself, who knows if there will be a problem. When used to upgrade small worlds, there is no problem.
Lu Rending didn't react to Lu Renbing's decision, which made Lu Renbing a little regretful. He was always wary of Lu Rending and the things he brought. We'd better draw the line. You earn what you spend, I earn what I spend. Save on what disputes there will be in the future.
strength, Lu Renbing only believes in his own cultivation, for the quick things obtained from the system of Na Laoshizi. Lu Renbing always didn't believe it. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Lu Renbing has never seen a world where energy is not conserved, and the wool will eventually come out of the sheep.
If you get the cheapness of the system, you have to pay it back after all, and it's better to get a little less.
The body possessed by Lu Renbing is a bit stubborn, with a height of 1.69 meters, in this world dominated by European and American races, it can be regarded as a dwarf. Because he wasn't sure if there were any enemies to track in this world, Lu Renbing still decided to keep a low profile and not change his appearance.
The alarm clock goes off again, and it's time to get up and go to work. Borrell now has only three days in total and will soon go bankrupt if he doesn't work. If you go bankrupt, you have to hang up.
Lu Renbing, who has just arrived in this world, also has to go out to work.
After a quick wash, Lu Renbing quickly walked out of the residence and hurriedly ran in the direction of the factory.
Well, in this slum-like twelfth district, few people have cars, and there are buses on the road. But it takes 60 minutes to sit once. What about others, Lu Renbing doesn't know, anyway, Borrell doesn't sit. The house he rented was very close to the factory, and although the environment was not good, it could save a lot of transportation costs.
Lu Renbing followed Borrell's habit to go to a fast-food restaurant to buy breakfast, two hamburgers and a cup of coffee. It took a total of 24 minutes for Lu Renbing.
"What's more, the price has risen again, yesterday the coffee was a cup for three minutes, and today it has risen to four minutes! What do you say, Borrell! “
It was Borrell's colleague and friend, a handsome man named Will. They always arrive at the same time, rush to the fast food restaurant, and then go to work together.
"yes, what's the solution, you spent all your savings yesterday to buy your mom a birthday present, what did you buy?"
"I bought a bottle of red wine and she loved it. But I'm miserable, I don't even have money for food. This morning my mom gave me thirty minutes to buy food. It's so shameless! “
While eating, the two of them rushed to the factory. There were two guys wrestling their wrists on the side of the road, and they were gambling with this tactic. The person who wins, will get all the time of the other party, and is actually gambling on his life.
This kind of thing happens every day, and all passers-by are used to it, and they don't even look at it. Damn it, they're all slackers who don't even have an hour. It's a waste of life to look at them.
Lu Renbing and the two of them hurriedly walked to the factory, and Lu Renbing also saw people who died on the side of the road on the road. That's the one who ran out of time, and just died there.
"People die every day! This damn world. Will said hatefully.
Lu Renbing didn't say anything, it seems that this Will is still a hot-blooded young man.
The equipment in the factory is old-fashioned, and it still needs to be operated by hand, but the things produced are very sophisticated, which is the kind of time memory that can store transaction time, and I don't know what this operation is. It's a weird world.
Judging from the time-related instruments, the scientific and technological water products of this world should exceed the interstellar age. But judging from the industrial level of this 12th district, that is, the water products of the eighties and nineties of the twentieth century. If nothing else, it can be seen from the fact that there are no mobile phones in this world.
It was still tiring to operate the machine by hand, and it took ten hours of work. Lu Renbing made 160 memories, 50 more than he remembered best.
At the end of the day, everyone lined up through a passage made of barbed wire, and at the exit, there was a window responsible for paying wages. There is a person on duty.
Will walked ahead of Lu Renbing, his output today was 30 more than last week, but when it was settled, his salary was the same as last week, and he was only given one day and four hours. He asked angrily, why did the output increase, but the wages did not increase?
The guy on duty said that the standard of evaluation has also risen, and although Will's production has increased, it has not reached the standard. Of course, you can't add money.
Will was a little annoyed, but obviously this was not the first time this had happened, and he had to accept it.
Lu Renbing's side did not meet the standard, and he only received a salary of one day and four hours. The two of them put their shoulders on their shoulders and went to the bar.
This is the daily life of their lives, take the money and go to hi, life is already very painful, if you don't get high, how can you live this day!!
