086 The Mystery of the City of Despair
Tang Tang didn't give up, and struggled to ask, "What about other professions?" Like restaurant waiters, beverage store managers, and other companies don't hire employees! Do I have no other way to survive than to be a homeless person? ”
The officer kept a formulaic smile: "Sorry sir, I think you'd better take a look at the questionnaire you filled out first, and you'll have to give us those who help you find a job." ”
"Questionnaire, what's wrong with the questionnaire?" Tang Tang snatched the list from the policeman's hand and looked at it carefully.
"The basic information on your questionnaire shows that you are not only underage, but also have only a degree of education in the enlightenment education stage, no work experience, no hobbies, and take the initiative to admit that you are lazy, and say that you are not confident to overcome this defect. I don't think any institution will be willing to accept such a resume when it sees it. ”
Tang Tang poked Xi Luo's arm and asked, "Wait, you're not an adult?" How old are you! Sixteen, seven? But I'm an adult, and you have to at least tell me if you write that. ”
Xi Luo was also stunned, she actually forgot that this era does not seem to be an adult at the age of forty.
"There is also this level of education, what is enlightenment education, where are there still people who have not attended compulsory education in this era!" Tang Tang looked at this questionnaire with hatred.
"I'm writing the truth." Xi Luo frowned slightly, Zeng Lao did only teach her the content of enlightenment education, and she learned everything else by reading books.
Seeing that Xi Luo's eyes didn't look like a fake, Tang Tang's tone instantly weakened: "The country, the country should have, there is a subsidy for preschool education." And your parents, they ......."
"My parents are not in this world, and I owe at least three months of rent now. If I can't pay the rent, I'll have to sleep on the streets. ”
Tang Tang suddenly realized that he might have uncovered Xi Luo's scar, and suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
"Okay, two, since you have no doubts about the results of your respective careers, then please take your places." The officer said as he handed them their overalls. Xi Luo was a very ordinary white shirt, Tang Tang got a beggar suit, he held it and struggled for a long time, but he still chose to change into this dress.
"Xi Luo, you work in the biggest library here, right? When I first familiarize myself with the basic living conditions of the homeless, I will go to you. ”
"Don't look for me, it's almost time for you to go offline." Xi Luo faintly reminded that Tang Tang's current state is not very good, although the performance in the game will not be obvious, but when his mental power returns to the real world's body, he will immediately produce all kinds of discomfort.
"What, are you tired? Then you go offline first, and I'll go offline when I'm tired. Tang Tang said indifferently, and after a few minutes, he suddenly muttered helplessly, "Disappointing, when I was having fun, why did my brother also call me offline, so let's do it today." Goodbye, Xi Luo! ”
"Hmm." Seeing Tang Tang disappear in place, Xi Luo also quit the game.
After removing the helmet on his head, Xi Luo stood up and walked around a few times, and by the way, he made sure that this intensity of the game would not have any negative impact on himself.
The apartment where Xi Luo lives temporarily is not big, but there are a lot of basic facilities in it, and in the small living room, there is a noise of dialogue between the characters in the TV series. On the sofa facing the TV, a plush red panda sits on the cushion next to the panda, with a mechanical claw still resting on its shoulder, and a demonic laugh keeps coming out of its mouth.
Whenever the system laughs, the panda will also open its two watery eyes and cooperate with the claw to slap the sofa.
The two of them had an unexpected tacit understanding.
"Host, how about you coming out of the game so early? Have you found a job? The system reluctantly looked away from the TV.
"Nope." Xi Luo was still deeply trapped in his neglect and didn't want to speak.
"It's okay, then I'll raise you." The system swears by it.
Xi Luo sneered, obviously not believing: "Fat ball, you first help me convert the 110,000 gold coins in the game account into RMB, and then use the money to buy a copy of all the medicines in the hot-selling stores on the shopping app." ”
"Buy that for what! Host, what reagents do you want, I have them in the mall, why waste money on this, 110,000 gold coins is equivalent to 110,000 yuan, enough for our rent for a month. ”
"You can make money whenever you want, but you can't delay it."
"Host, what do I think, after you came out of the game this time, the whole person is weird, has something happened? If you're not happy, you won't play the game. ”
Xi Luo shook his head and looked thoughtful: "No, I mainly want to know if the potions on the Internet are as good as they say?" ”
"Of course it's impossible, is it obviously a fake? How could such advanced technology emerge in this era? The system is a matter of course.
"What if...... We are not alone in the future. I mean, there may have been a man who came to this time before us because he came to have all these kinds of potions. ”
"Impossible!" The system's reaction was particularly strong, "There is no other person besides me who can travel through time and space!" Host, how did you have such a strange idea? ”
Xi Luo sighed, knowing that he couldn't convince the system just by dictating: "Fat Ball, lend me the magic brush, and I'll show you what I saw in the game." ”
The system didn't understand the meaning of Xi Luo's words, but he still honestly handed Xi Luo the magic brush that had just finished replenishing energy. Xi Luo took the magic paintbrush, stuffed it into his ears, closed his eyes, and in the narrow living room, reshaped the city he had seen before, which was only half built.
"City of Despair, what is this?" The system looked at the phantom that Xi Luo had made out in confusion.
"This city was discovered at the bottom of the cliff in the novice village of the third life, and you can see that all the words here are in interstellar language. But in this era, who else can read and write these interstellar characters except the two of us? ”
The system was also stupid by Xi Luo's question, but he still couldn't help muttering in his mouth, absolutely impossible.
"Fat Ball, can you really be sure that apart from us, the future Emperor Star, there is really no one who can travel through time and space to come to this era?"
"I don't know...... But I just don't think it's possible. ”
"Ding, dear host, congratulations on activating the new main quest - cracking the secrets of the 'City of Despair' and finding the hidden treasure. The task rewards 1,000,000 experience points, 1,000,000 coins, and a Secret Garden lv2 upgrade card. ”
Xi Luo listened to the prompt sound in his ears, and his eyes gradually fell on the system, as if waiting for its explanation.
The system rubbed his smooth head: "Host, if I say, I really don't know anything, do you believe it......"
"Faith."
