Chapter 19: Time

Chapter 24 is a very troublesome question

Finally made the concept map, Zuo Xiuyuan couldn't wait to send it to Loneliness.

Lonely is on the line, opened the picture to see, and commented: "It's a bit high-profile." ”

Zuo Xiuyuan was cautious: "The boss doesn't like it?" ”

Silence: "Good job." Just do this, when will it be completed? ”

Zuo Xiuyuan immediately said: "Give me another half a month!" There's a problem...... though."

Silence: "Huh? ”

Zuo Xiuyuan: "It takes a little manual skill to make this glove, but I have never lit this skill point...... So I'm going to ask my high school classmates to help me with this step, and I need to apply for a little manual fee. ”

Silence: "OK. ”

A minute later, Zuo Xiuyuan was taking the calculator to pay for the manual cost this time, he estimated that it should be able to be done for about 1,000 yuan, he just needed to invite them to have a meal to contact their feelings, and then send a paid work task, please complete it in their free time. That's right, a thousand dollars is no problem, it can be done. But just in case, quote a thousand and a half amount, it must be enough!

He finished the calculation, and was about to hear a "ding" of the mobile phone when he suddenly heard a text message.

He casually glanced at his phone on the workbench and saw a transfer text message appear on the screen. The amount on the SMS shows that 100,000 ......

The boss is the trench, and he changes hands for 10,000 yuan.

Wait, one, two, three, four, five, five zeros?

Counting the number 1 followed by the number 0, Zuo Xiuyuan choked on a mouthful of saliva in his throat and coughed earth-shatteringly.

The power of money is endless!

Zuo Xiuyuan, who was originally going to rest for a day, instantly revived with full blood, picked up the phone and dialed: "Hey, second son, I heard that you studied mechanical engineering in college?" Right, right...... I have something I want you to help me with, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner! ”

He hung up the phone of this mechanical engineering classmate, and then dialed another classmate: "Hey, lifelike, I heard that you studied design in college?" Would that make a tailor make gloves? …… Yes, that's right, I want to ask you to help make a handmade glove, how much do you think is appropriate? …… Okay, let's talk about it when we have dinner together in the evening! ”

He hung up the phone, then packed up all the raw materials that he had properly processed using various alchemy techniques, and left the alchemy workshop.

When he reached the ground, he was holding a backpack of things, looking at the subway station and the taxi waiting point for a while.

It's still a bit far from the university town, how do I get there, do I have to transfer to the subway twice, or take a taxi? After all, I'm a rich man now, so is it good to have six figures in my account......

Zuo Xiuyuan couldn't decide for a long time, and one after another green taxis whizzed in front of him, spraying dust all over his face.

Fifteen minutes later, he finally made up his mind, threw his backpack over his shoulder, and walked towards the subway entrance.

It's better to be on the subway, punctual and punctual, even if it's squeezed into sardines......

After reading Zuo Xiuyuan's design drawings and materials, the two high school classmates said that there was no problem or difficulty in it, and it would be completed in about a week.

Xue Design was curious and touched the lizard skin twice: "What kind of skin is this?" It feels so special. ”

Zuo Xiuyuan said vaguely: "A kind of lizard skin, the unique feel is because I ...... It has been treated in the laboratory with special techniques. ”

The second son also praised: "The drawings are good, decent, are you planning to make a movie prop?" ”

"No, no, just make something for yourself." Zuo Xiuyuan laughed dryly, quickly opened the conversation, and talked with the two classmates about the remuneration that the people of the world care about.

The price asked for by the two classmates was not as unexpected by Zuo Xiuyuan, and together with this meal, it did not exceed 1,000 yuan. He believed them as much as he believed in himself, and transferred the money on the spot, considering that the boss really gave him a lot of money, and generously added an extra 200 yuan per person.

Not surprisingly, the power of money is immense.

The two classmates who originally planned to talk about their high school career with Zuo Xiuyuan saw that half a month's living expenses were in hand, and they didn't talk nonsense with Zuo Xiuyuan, so they took the things and left immediately, the first two days were lifelike and the gloves were sewn, and the second son also carved the energy array in the next three days, and on the night of the carving, he took a photo in the school computer room and sent it to Zuo Xiuyuan, a little fox questioned: "How do I feel that this glove is shining......"

Zuo Xiuyuan immediately asked with concern: "Did the machine stare at it for too long just now, are your eyes tired?" I've heard that people who do mechanical engineering have a lot of eye pressure. ”

The topic was diverted.

The second son sighed: "Alas, who says it's not, a lot of things we machine are still quite harmful to the eyes, when I first entered the school, the seniors told us to protect our eyes, and this year it is our turn to teach our younger brothers and sisters to protect their eyes......"

After five minutes of small talk, the second son completely forgot about the gloves.

He turned off QQ, returned to the dormitory with gloves, threw it in a drawer, and made an appointment to send a courier tomorrow morning before going to bed.

At the same time, in the alchemy workshop, Zuo Xiuyuan, who put down his mobile phone, secretly sighed and praised his wit.

He texted Silence: "Boss, the gloves are ready, and they will be delivered to you tomorrow." ”

Silence: "Good job." ”

Zuo Xiuyuan: "See you tomorrow, boss." ”

Silence: "See you tomorrow, Chief Engineer." ”

As the night passed, the moon set, the sun rose again, and the three hundred and sixty-five lines began to work together.

The gloves in the drawer are put into a waterproof bag, and through a series of processes such as receiving, sorting, partitioning, and loading, it is convenient for them to enter the basket of the delivery courier when the sun sets.

In the evening, when the sky was high and crisp a moment ago, suddenly a gust of wind passed, and the blue and clear sky was covered by thick black clouds, and then there was a "boom", and the torrential rain poured down.

The rainstorm was too heavy, the car was soaked, the pedestrians were splashed and dirty, and when the courier delivered the express, he was also careless, so a few light express items fell into the muddy water.

"Damn the weather." When the courier cursed and bent down to pick up the parcel that had fallen into the sewage, one of the particularly light and thin parcels with only a waterproof bag was hooked through the bag by the broken railing next to it, and the contents fell into the sewage with a "snap".

Courier: "......"

He wiped a handful of crackling rain on his face, looked at the empty waterproof bag in his hand, and looked at the items on the ground that were completely submerged in sewage.

That's ...... It's terrible.

This is going to be complained by the person who received the courier.

This is going to be deducted by the stupid boss.

The courier stared at the ground, the sewage on the ground rippled in circles, and the ugly smiles of the stupid boss and the complainant were vague.

The rain was pouring down, and the courier standing in the rain suddenly moved.

He first took a closer look at the face sheet attached to the waterproof bag, and there was no insured price, nor was it a courier issued by a company, but a very ordinary person-to-person delivery.

Then he calmly took out his phone, edited a sentence on the backstage page, and threw the courier bag away with the wind.

Finally, he bent down and picked up the gloves in the sewage, glanced at the streetlight, and thought it was good, so he wiped them clean and put them in the saddle.

The rain was pouring down, and the electric donkey, which was dragging two large baskets, suddenly moved away and disappeared into the rain curtain.

There are still a lot of deliveries that haven't been delivered.

In the alchemy workshop, Zuo Xiuyuan, who had been typing code in front of the computer for most of the day, finally made up for the homework he owed in the first half of the month.

He turned off the computer, rubbed his body hard in his chair, yawned heavily, and dried the red bull to refresh himself, suddenly remembering the gloves that should have been delivered by common sense.

Why hasn't anyone asked me to pick up the delivery yet?

He muttered, opened the background of the express APP, and saw the display on it:

We are sorry, but due to the heavy rain in the evening, your shipment was lost in the floodwater......

Zuo Xiuyuan: Are you teasing me?

A fucking meltdown that was by no means enough to describe ravaged his psyche.

Zuo Xiuyuan was stunned for three minutes, and immediately called the express outlet: "My courier is gone!" ”

The female voice who answered the phone said, "Hello, why didn't you see it?" ”

Zuo Xiuyuan: "The background shows that it fell into the flood and lost its way. ”

Female voice: "The rain is too heavy this evening, and many couriers have lost their way in the flood. ”

Zuo Xiuyuan shouted, "Then what should I do?!" My shipment is very important! ”

The female voice comforted him: "Don't worry, our noodles are also covered with waterproof bags, if there are well-meaning citizens who pick up your express mail in the future, they may send it back to you." ”

Zuo Xiuyuan was not comforted at all, he seriously warned the operator: "I'll tell you seriously, my courier is very important, if it is lost, something will happen that no one can imagine, you must find it back for me, otherwise I will definitely complain to you to the end!" ”

The female voice became serious: "Don't get excited, we are sorry that the shipment is lost." But even if the courier is willing to risk his life to wade into the water to help you find it, there is no guarantee that the flood will take him and the courier in one direction, right? In this way, we can compensate you for your losses, have you bought the insured price? ”

Zuo Xiuyuan: "......"

The operator understood something, and the female voice became very, very, very regretful: "If you don't buy it, things get complicated and complicated......"

Things really got complicated, complicated.

Zuo Xiuyuan hung up the phone, and from the female operator's tone, he had enough reason to believe that his gloves were lost forever in the flood......

He calmed down.

Now is not the time to be anxious and angry and quarrel with express outlets, eighty percent of him still can't win.

He first sent a message to Loneliness: "Boss, there was an accident with the gloves, I'm afraid they will have to be delivered to you later." ”

Silence: "Can it be solved?" ”

Zuo Xiuyuan: "Yes." ”

Silence: "How late?" ”

Zuo Xiuyuan: "One week." He swore an oath, "This time I will personally deliver the gloves to your house, and there will be no more accidents with it!" ”

Five days later, the new gloves were finished.

This time, in order to eliminate any danger, Zuo Xiuyuan personally took a taxi to take a taxi back, the whole journey took three hours and hundreds of oceans, when he got out of the taxi with new gloves in his hand, and looked at the loneliness of playing tennis in the light of the sunset, he was finally able to sigh: "I can be regarded as safely arrived in ......"

Silence, who was attacking the ball back in front of the hurdle, noticed the man waving at him on the sidelines.

She was careless, her strength was out of control, "bang" and "tear" twice, not only hit the hurdle by mistake, but also broke the iron net pillar together, because the right net pillar collapsed, the net that was erected in the middle of the court collapsed instantly.

The audience was silent, and the tennis players from both sides saluted in unison.

Silence threw away the racket in his hand and cut it: "The tofu slag project has arrived on the tennis rack, and the quality control still needs to be worked on." I'll send a good net post to the school. ”

She calmly left the tennis court and came to Zuo Xiuyuan's side, and whispered to Zuo Xiuyuan the same moment she took the thing: "Hurry up, before I accidentally hit someone and seriously injure me, quickly make me a set of suppressors that can suppress the strength of the whole body!" ”

Zuo Xiuyuan: "Boss, don't worry, I guarantee that it will be completed." ”

Silence gave the chief engineer a thumbs up and put on his gloves.

-

Another day and evening.

The couriers who worked hard and worked hard to deliver nearly a hundred couriers were still complained.

His mentality suddenly collapsed.

What is the meaning of me doing this every day, every day is to send express delivery to be complained, complained about to send express delivery, and complained about sending express delivery...... I am about to be thirty years old, I don't have a girlfriend, I don't have a hukou, I don't have a house, I can't bring my parents here, I can only live with others in a 30-square-meter house separated by a curtain.

Life is really boring.

He thought dejectedly, and rode the little donkey all the way, crowded in the crowd, and returned to the rental house.

The one who rented with him was Youyou, who had come back and was watching a video in the house.

The courier put down his things, took out a pack of instant noodles from the cabinet, and came to the corridor that was arranged as a kitchen to boil water and boil instant noodles, but the handle of the kettle in the corridor was not very good, and he went to light it with his hands empty.

Don't say, I didn't pay attention to it last time, these gloves are weirdly good-looking, the back of the hand part is shining with a little light, and the palm part has something like a circuit diagram or formation.

For the first time, the courier looked carefully at the gloves in the light.

He looked at it for a while, and then said to himself with a smile: "It looks like an artifact or something in a game or a novel.,What I picked up wouldn't be some kind of local tyrant enthusiast's fanwork, right?" ”

He put on his gloves.

The moment he put it on, the leather gloves fit flexibly on his palms like the second skin of the human body, and he was simply amazed by the touch!

In the midst of the amazement, he felt a slight pain in the palms of his hands as if they were suddenly pricked by needles, and the two cracks in the palms of the gloves suddenly opened, and the misty light turned around in the palms, like a pair of pure black eyes.

An inexplicable feeling welled up from the courier's body, driving him to stretch out his hands and press forwardβ€”

"Boomβ€”" There was a loud thunderclap.

An anti-theft door flew out of the fourth-floor corridor in the dark and landed far away in the garbage truck of the community.

The whole building was shocked, the lights were suddenly brightened, and all the people at home opened the door and poked their heads out to look nervously: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

The roommate was also frightened by the loud noise.

He almost fell out of bed, rushed to the door in three steps and two steps, and nervously asked the courier standing at the door, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? How do I hear the sound of earthquakes and thunderβ€”"

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly saw the situation at the gate.

The door of the black hole is the big mouth of the night, and it is silently laughing at the two of them.

He stood on the spot like the courier.

He hesitated:

"So, what about our door......"
