Han Fei was lying in a mud pit, and he didn't dare to come out.

Less than ten meters in front of him, several mutant wolves just ran over with their prey in their mouths, Han Fei moved his body slightly, wanting to bury his body deeper into the mire, if it weren't for the light protective clothing on his body with a constant temperature function, Han Fei might have frozen to death.

The C-1 civilian self-defense pistol he held in his hand did not give him even a sense of security. At this distance, even if there was only one, the only fate for Han Fei to be close was to turn it into their dinner, silently praying in his heart that those mutant wolves had eaten enough.

"If I hadn't been pitted by that waste system, I would have been lying comfortably in bed looking at study materials, how could I have come to this hellish place to suffer like this."

Han Fei kept cursing in his heart, and couldn't help but think back to two days ago......

......

Han Fei sat calmly on the chair, his face was peaceful, his sitting posture was very relaxed, and he didn't look abnormal at all.

But in fact, the mind is enduring great pain, pain from the level of consciousness, as if a steamroller has pressed consciousness into a piece of tissue paper, and then cut it into pieces with scissors. It's not that Han Fei's endurance is amazing and he can bear such pain, but that his consciousness has always remained extremely awake, and it is a luxury to want to faint.

The time in his consciousness was long, just five minutes, which was longer than a day for Han Fei. The pain faded away like a tide, just like when he came, if he checked Han Fei's body at this time, no matter how advanced the instrument was, the conclusion he came to must be that there was nothing wrong and that he was very healthy. As if the soul-tearing pain was just an illusion......

After resting for a few minutes, Han Fei stood up, put the leftover synthetic food from yesterday into a cardboard box, and walked out of the dormitory door to prepare for today's part-time job.

"The time interval between each episode is getting shorter and shorter."

Han Fei's heart swelled with a bad feeling. It's not that he hasn't been to the medical clinic for a check-up, and the result is naturally inconclusive, and he is very healthy. Of course, at that time, he was still young, and he lived cautiously in the welfare home, so he naturally didn't understand the truth that crying children don't necessarily have candy, but as he grew up, he had realized that his disease was probably not so simple, so he never revealed it to anyone.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Han Fei suddenly stopped.

"The beta version of Xiaoxing 1.0 is being activated."

A line of text suddenly appeared in Han Fei's vision, and he tried to turn his head, but this line of text was still in the center of the vision.

After a few seconds, a large amount of data streams that Han Fei couldn't understand were brushed down like a waterfall under this line of text, and then the horizon returned to normal. The smart bracelet automatically pops up a light curtain, and a dialog box appears on it:

"Hello. I'm Xiaoxing! ”

"Who are you?" Han Fei asked cautiously.

"I'm Xiaoxing!"

“......”

It was important to go to work, and Han Fei decided to put this matter down first. Walked out of the dormitory with a bag in his hand and walked towards the northeast corner of the city. Outside the walls of this three-level dormitory is the "free living area" of Huicheng.

Five minutes later, carefully dodging the stinky gutters on the ground and the excrement of some kind of creature, he came to a dim street lamp, and carefully packed the bag of leftover synthetic food from yesterday into a cardboard box. I got up and looked around, and after a few steps, a few thin stray cats came out from all corners, carefully circled around the box a few times, slowly approached the box, and began to eat vigilantly. Han Fei stood in the distance and watched for a while, then walked towards the central block with brisk steps.

After walking a few dark, damp and cold neighborhoods, I turned left and walked along the street for a while, and I came to the central business district of Huicheng.

If the "free living area" of Huicheng is the dark side of the city, then the central business district is the most glamorous side of the city. In the entire central business district, there is no trace of the old era at all, although the tallest building is only about 50 meters, but it is neatly planned and neon. Automatic buses take people to all corners of the city from time to time on the wide highways, and the New Year is approaching, and the streets are lit up with people coming and going, and there is a sense of life.

Han Fei is nineteen years old this year and is a low-profile orphan. There was no accident between the parents, both of them died, no sister, no house. However, compared to most people in the "free living area", a welfare home where they can be fed, clothed, and educated may be called a paradise. Originally, the establishment of the welfare home was to accommodate the orphans of soldiers who died during the development of the city, but with the successful establishment of the city, the number of soldiers who died was greatly reduced, and with a more complete pension system, the number of people who needed to be sheltered was reduced day by day.

Han Fei, who grew up in a welfare society, has only been troubled by loneliness in his nineteen-year orphan career, and there is no other psychological shadow, after all, no one cares about an orphan's inner thoughts.

In Han Fei's memory, there were three orphans in the entire orphanage, Han Bing, who was seven years older than him, had "graduated" seven years ago, and occasionally came back to visit with gifts, and Han Tong, who was nine years younger than him, was also adopted by a family five years ago.

Therefore, after graduating from Hanfei General Education School in July this year, it also means that the Huicheng Welfare Institute has also officially closed down, and the old dean has also announced his early retirement.

Because of the onset of illness and Xiaoxing's activation, Han Fei ran wildly all the way. Finally, a minute before I went to work, I arrived at the place of work, a restaurant called "Liang Liang". Different from the lively scene of the lights in front of the shops next to it to celebrate the New Year, this restaurant perfunctorily pasted a big "spring" on the glass window, and there will be no discount activities anyway.

In the middle of the most prosperous commercial street in the entire Huicheng, the first floor covers an area of 300 square meters and opens a restaurant on the street frontage, Han Fei said that the world of rich people is really difficult to understand. And when his brain was pumping, he asked his boss Liang Qian his question, and he remembered that the boss replied like this:

"This façade is mine, and the façade of this street is mine. The rent collected every month can't be spent, and if you don't find something interesting to do for yourself, it's easy for people to scrap it! ”

It seems that Han Fei is not the first waiter who wants to ask this question, but he doesn't know what happened to those predecessors now......

This is where Han Fei works part-time, earning 20 points per hour. Work four hours a day.

Pushing the door in, the wind chimes on the door jingled, and behind the bar was a short-haired young girl looking at a classical book. looked up at Han Fei: "You're late again"

Han Fei smiled wryly: "I'm sorry boss, there is a traffic jam on the road." ”

"Get out!"

"Meow~~~"

This young girl is Liang Qian, the owner of the shop.

Since coming here to work, in Han Fei's impression, Liang Qian has been reading all kinds of ancient books all the time, including when cooking. And from time to time, there will be various expressions on his face, such as smiles, laughter, aunt laughter, sadness, anger, etc., which can be switched freely at any time, which made Han Fei frightened when he first came, and once suspected that the boss was competing for control of his expression with multiple personalities.

At this time, there were no guests in the restaurant, except for Han Fei and Liang Qian, there was also a gray shorthair cat named Da Kui, the one who meowed just now, was the mascot of the restaurant. Many people come here just to inhale cat gas. Occasionally, there is also a silent middle-aged man named Uncle Wu by Liang Qian, who will bring some wild ingredients to the restaurant from time to time.

In this era, synthetic food technology has been very mature, synthetic food can be perfectly matched with ingredients according to personal physical conditions, small size is conducive to carrying, saving meal time, low price, in addition to the taste is relatively monotonous, there are basically no other shortcomings, and the taste has been greatly improved compared with a few years ago, at least now you can choose sweet or salty.

The daily menu of the restaurant depends entirely on what dishes Liang Qian learned from the ancient books today, or the ingredients sent by the fifth uncle are still in stock.

So the business of the restaurant is not good, and there are not many days when sales are zero, but the owner doesn't care.

Han Fei's most important job may be to be a shovel.

He once privately thought that the reason why Liang Qian would hire waiters was just to show that as a boss, he needed to distinguish between different identities from waiters. So for this part-time job, Han Fei refused at first, four hours a day, not doing anything, and taking care of dinner.......

But it's too much......

After changing into work clothes and cleaning the store, Han Fei fell into a state of idleness again. Hiding in an unobtrusive position, Han Fei opened the virtual light curtain and began to enter text to communicate with Xiaoxing:

"What are you?"

"I'm Xiaoxing!"

"What is Little Star?"

"It's me!"

"Where are you from? Where to go? ”

“.......”

After studying for a long time, this dialog box will only be one sentence over and over again, and when you ask about the others, you will only be silent. Fortunately, the dialog box can be closed and will not affect soaring in the world of the Internet, so Han Fei decided to put it aside for the time being to see if there will be any new changes.

Today's dinner is, tomato scrambled eggs one by one, according to Liang Qian, this is a recipe she found from an ancient monument. For Han Fei, who knows neither tomatoes nor eggs, this tomato scrambled egg is 98 times more delicious than synthetic food. The reason is simple, this tomato egg sells for 98 points, which is 98 times the price of a standard synthetic food.

......

Not long after eating, Han Fei received the first group of guests today.

There was a family of three who came in, the man and the woman looked to be in their early thirties, and the little Lori who walked in front of her, Han Fei should be nine years and seven months old. She is the aforementioned Han Tong from the welfare home, who was adopted.

Han Fei was also stunned when he saw the three of them, Han Fei was thirteen years old when Han Tong was adopted, Han Tong was only four years old, and the two met only a handful of times in five years. But no matter what, the common experience made Han Fei and Han Tong have a special sense of intimacy, Han Fei threw a smile at Han Tong, Han Tong ran towards Han Fei with open hands, Han Fei also squatted down and responded with open arms, and then Han Tong ran straight past Han Fei and rushed to Da Kui, who was sleeping on the sofa......

Han Fei stood up awkwardly, subconsciously ready to reach out and scratch his head, but quickly took it back halfway through, and greeted Han Tong's adoptive parents with a smile.

The two sat down and exchanged a few words before the adoptive father said:

"Xiaotong passed the test of the scientific research institute, and while we are all on vacation, take her out to celebrate."

"That's good, Xiaotong has always been smart." Han Fei replied with a smile that he had also participated in the test of the scientific research institute, in fact, every child under the age of ten would take it, after all, the scientific research institute was the most promising department, and he knew how ...... that exam was Uh, weird? In short, it is an exam with a very low pass rate.

As the name suggests, the scientific research institute is all related to scientific research, covering every corner from the military to people's livelihood. The remaining two are the Urban Security and Defense Department and the Pioneer Corps, the Urban Security and Defense Department is mainly responsible for the defense and construction of the city, and the Pioneer Corps is responsible for everything outside the city.

Except for those who have a mine at home, or those who are specially recruited by scientific research institutes like Han Tong, the vast majority of young people will choose to join these two departments when they become adults, and Han Fei is now a grassroots reserve worker in Cheng'an.

"Then you sit down and wait a while, the restaurant is serving scrambled eggs with tomatoes today."

Seeing Han Tong who was frantically petting the cat, Han Fei couldn't help but stretch out his hand and was about to touch her head, Han Tong quickly dodged and looked at Han Fei coldly:

"Han Fei, if you dare to touch my head again, I will beat you to death, just because you used to touch my head when you were a child. I'm not tall now! ”

Han Fei was stunned twice, so he had to withdraw his hand with a smile.

After a while, three scrambled eggs with tomato were served. Adoptive parents are also considered to be the middle class of Huicheng, and they are also the people who can go out to the restaurant. When I saw these three tomato scrambled eggs, I felt a little confused. At this time, Liang Qian came over with three glasses of drinks, and explained to Han Tong and the others with a calm face:

"This tomato scrambled egg is actually a very related dish, especially this egg, which is an egg laid by a chicken. I read in an ancient book that the rooster belongs to one of the twelve zodiac signs. It can be said that it is very powerful. ”

"Zodiac? What is that. ”

"The 12 zodiac signs are the twelve powerful divine beasts. According to ancient records, the 12 zodiac signs are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. It also corresponds to the twelve earthly branches in ancient times. Ancient books also record that ancient humans were changed from monkeys, and some ancient humans claimed to be descendants of dragons, and the highway was also called a road in ancient times, that is, a road specially for horses. It can be seen that the 12 zodiac signs should be very powerful divine beasts. The rooster can stand side by side in the zodiac, and theoretically, it is also a powerful creature! ”

Han Tong made up the horses running on the road more than 100 meters wide outside the city, and even if he believed this kind of statement, Han Fei also nodded frequently on the side.

Watching the three of them stage the real fragrance scene, Liang Qian showed a satisfied smile, and then gave three more drinks. Except for the adoptive father who rubbed his eyes a few times when he checked out and doubted the amount of the bill, Liang Qian waved his hand on the spot and made a 50% discount, and the whole process can be regarded as a joy for the host and guest.

The parting three also warmly invited Han Fei to go home as a guest, Han Fei naturally smiled and nodded, next time.

Han Fei cleaned up the tableware, Liang Qian rarely put down the ancient books in her hand, and hummed an unknown tune to tease the cat on the sofa. Then he said:

"Han Fei, you can get off work after cleaning up. Also, the New Year's holiday is seven days, and I'm going to Cha'an City! ”

"Good boss!"

Mei Zizi took the salary that had just arrived, Han Fei went home with a leisurely pace, calculated the funds at hand, and took advantage of the fact that the city guards would also take turns off tomorrow, Han Fei decided to buy the long-desired eyepiece tomorrow, and if the store held an event, he might be able to upgrade a few permissions.

It was only past nine o'clock when he returned to the dormitory, and Han Fei checked the dialog box again, but there was still no change. Open the learning materials downloaded from the cloud, start to enrich yourself, and after a while, you will fall into a deep sleep.......

"Loading system, ......"

“…… Multiply...... Low...... Please ......"

"Energy...... Please...... Check ......"

Auto ...... ...... Down"

"Data missing rate: 71%."

"Identity confirmed. Han Fei, 19 years, 7 months and 27 days. ”

"The time anchor has been confirmed. Current time: December 28, 2998 at 11:57:13 p.m. ”
