Chapter 3 It is not easy to live in a big place
Xin Lin returned to the staff lounge and was about to pack up his things and go home, but saw Du Xuanming trotting all the way into the door, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Xin, what did Manager Fei talk to you about?" ”
Seeing Du Xuanming's face full of concern, Xin Lian's heart warmed, although this junior usually talks a little more and has a more out-of-the-box personality, he is one of the few people in the martial arts hall who really cares about him, and he is worthy of the care he took when he first came to the martial arts hall.
"I have signed an agreement with the martial arts hall to terminate the labor relationship after the five-year contract expires." Xin Xiao said truthfully, anyway, when everyone finds out that he didn't come to work tomorrow, the entire martial arts hall will know.
"How can Manager Fei do this?" Du Xuanming's eyes widened and he shouted loudly. Fortunately, it was late at night, and there was no one else in the lounge, otherwise he would have shouted out in this voice, and there would be no need to wait for tomorrow, and the whole martial arts hall would have spread all over in half an hour.
"There's nothing you can't do, the martial arts hall gave me a compensation." Xin Lin said calmly.
If Xin Lin didn't have a little loss in his heart, it would be a lie, recalling the past five years in the martial arts hall, although boring, but very fulfilling, he has been using the martial arts hall's induction cabin for several years to practice, although he did not sense the vacuum energy, but after all, he is grateful to the martial arts hall, and he is also trying to improve his performance to return to the martial arts hall, but he didn't expect it to be this ending.
As soon as this agreement is signed today, even if he clears up with the martial arts hall, no one owes anyone!
Hearing that there was compensation, Du Xuanming subconsciously asked, "How much does the martial arts hall pay you?" ”
"That doesn't tell you that there is a confidentiality clause in the agreement." Xin Lin waved his hand and said, "Go back to duty quickly, if someone finds out that you are not at your post, it will be miserable." ”
Du Xuanming shrank his neck, and saw that Xin Xiao had already begun to pack up his things, and was a little reluctant, and said, "Senior Xin, you have to contact you often in the future, I am still waiting for the good news that you will become a Force Warrior!" ”
"Good!" Xin Lin laughed, "I will borrow your auspicious words, and I will definitely notify you when the time comes." ”
"Then I won't bother you." After Du Xuanming finished speaking, he ran away again.
Xin Lin didn't have many personal belongings in the martial arts hall, mainly two sets of change of practice clothes, and even a backpack could not be filled, and it was done in less than two minutes. Then he didn't have any nostalgia and left the martial arts hall like a normal off-duty.
When I arrived at the parking lot, although it was late at night, there were still flying cars in the parking lot from time to time, taking off and leaving, most of these people came out of the meditation department and had just finished their meditation practice.
Xin Lin walked to the side of a maglev motorcycle, this silver and black motorcycle is nearly three meters long, the overall line is smooth, very beautiful, one front and one rear ends are huge magnetic field stabilizers, the shape is a bit like a wide tire, the middle is a strong ionic propulsion engine, the whole motorcycle is like a beast crawling on the ground, gorgeous and wild.
As soon as he got closer, the motorcycle automatically started its engine, and several blue lines flashed on the body, making a low roar.
In this day and age, almost every adult has his own vehicle, the most common being a flying car, and only for a stable job can take out a loan and pay the equivalent of two or three years of wages to get it.
In comparison, motorcycles are not so popular.
In addition to speed and driving pleasure, whether it is ride comfort, or safety factor, motorcycles are far inferior to flying cars, the most important thing is that the price of motorcycles is higher than flying cars, and the overall cost performance is slightly lower.
The price of this motorcycle is expensive, enough to buy two ordinary flying cars!
Most of Xin Lone's salary is spent on using the induction cabin to cultivate, plus daily expenses, and the money he can save every month is really not much. In order to buy this maglev motorcycle, he emptied the savings he had saved since childhood and the salary in the martial arts hall, and he was distressed, but he never regretted it.
He just loves the feeling of speeding when driving a motorcycle!
Straddle up, Xin Lin picked up the safety helmet and put it on, started the holographic driving image, the upper body leaned forward, as if lying on the body, a magnetic restraint line fixed his body tightly, put away his feet, and even the person and the car were suspended, the engine was forced, and with a "boom", the motorcycle was like an arrow from the string, accelerating forward violently, and quickly rushed out of the parking lot.
The motorcycle rushed 100 meters in the exit passage of the parking lot, and shot out from the exit, and suddenly opened up in front of him, and a strong air current rushed to his face, which made Xin Lonely feel happy, and couldn't help but shout a few times:
"Whew......ha"
It's a dreamlike world, with thousand-meter-high skyscrapers rising from the ground and scattered among the mountains, and various lights illuminating the metropolis as if it were day, becoming a veritable city that never sleeps. As far as the eye can see, the sea is faintly visible on the eastern horizon, and the whole city is a huge steel jungle near the sea.
Even though it's late at night, there are still hundreds of flying cars, maglev motorcycles, public trams, kinetic flyboards, airplanes, and all kinds of unnamed flying machines shuttling between skyscrapers, forming a spectacular flow of traffic in the sky.
The building where Xin Lin is located is 300 stories high, and the Qimai Martial Arts Hall is in the middle and low floors of the building, more than 400 meters from the ground.
Flying machines of all kinds are speeding by, the tall buildings on both sides are rapidly receding, and those huge advertising screens and neon lights turn into colorful streamers in the line of sight, making people dazzled and dizzy.
The Earth Federation has a very detailed division of traffic rules, and aircraft of different speeds have corresponding driving altitudes and routes, and must not fly at will, and must drive strictly in accordance with their respective airways, otherwise it is illegal and will face serious prosecutions. Especially in the central areas of major metropolises, in densely populated areas, all aircraft must be connected to the global networked automatic driving system, so that the traffic management center can control, and citizens are absolutely not allowed to drive manually.
The location of the Chimai Martial Arts Hall is in the most prosperous area of the city, of course, you can't drive it manually, under the control of the traffic control center, the motorcycle is speeding in the low-speed airway according to the set address.
Xin Lone's residence is a hundred kilometers away to the west, and the housing prices in the downtown area of Strait City are simply skyrocketing, and the rent is also staggeringly high, so of course he can't afford to live in it.
Ten minutes later, the maglev motorcycle has driven out of the bustling area, the surrounding traffic has suddenly decreased, the brightly lit strait city has been left far behind, the skyscrapers seen are getting fewer and fewer, the building height is slowly declining, the surrounding is already a semi-suburb, late at night, most people are in the dreamland, the sky is empty, and occasionally one or two aircraft cross nearby.
In the holographic interface of the helmet display, the option of "manual driving" has lit up, and Xin Lonely can't wait to cut off the control of the traffic control center and start the manual driving mode.
The speed of the maglev motorcycle increased dramatically, and the speed soon approached 300 kilometers per hour, which is the upper limit of the low-speed airway, and if it is faster, the speeding alarm will be triggered.
"Boom ......"
With a low roar, the motorcycle erupted a tail flame, streaked through the air with a blue light, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
All the way, Xin Lonely through the hearty driving, the last trace of depression in his heart was left behind, when he was almost home, the mood was quite good.
Xin Lone's residence is located in a residential area, seven or eight nearly 100-storey buildings are located in the valley, each floor of the building is full of people, the downstairs is surrounded by greenery, repaired into a huge garden, and some low-rise functional buildings are scattered all over the place, and the overall environment is quite quiet.
Such a house, except for being a little deserted, and slightly inferior in terms of safety and convenience, is not much less comfortable than a house in the city, but because of the difference in location, the rent is less than one-third of the city!
As the mother star and first star of the Federation, it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is gold, especially in the urban areas of major cities, where every house is sky-high, so although there are nearly 50 billion people living on the earth, seven of them live in the suburbs.
In fact, even a suburban house is an unaffordable high price for the average federal citizen, after all, this is the earth, not those colonized planets that have been transformed by the environment, let alone a crowded space city, and the value is not the same.
Therefore, the vast majority of people can only rent a house on the earth, and do not have a house of their own, and Xin Lin is one of them.
Although he was born on Earth, he is actually registered on Mars, his parents, elders and relatives live and work on Mars, and he also returned to Mars to receive enlightenment education when he was young.
Xin Silence slowed down the speed of the motorcycle and slowly approached the 87th floor of one of the buildings, where there was a dedicated entryway facing south outside the wall that led to a wide parking lot. The high-rise residential buildings of the Earth Federation will have parking lots on every few floors, so that the vehicles of the residents on the upper and lower floors can be parked together to save space in the building.
The apartment is on the same floor as the parking lot, park your motorbike and leave the parking lot, walk a few steps and turn a corner to the door.
The fully automatic door opened at the right time, and when Xin Lin stepped into the door, he heard a cold greeting: "Mr. Xin Lian, welcome back to your warm home." ”
Xin Lin was accustomed to it and did not respond in any way.
It's the smart home system saying hello.
As early as hundreds of years ago, the smart home system has been popularized, into thousands of households, to now it is developed to the point of almost omnipotent, all the electrical appliances, energy, network, tools, daily necessities, etc., as long as the user is willing, can be connected into this system for management operations.
The intelligent core of the system can even be anthropomorphized, customized into any image and a variety of personalities, appearing in front of you through holographic projection, if you don't touch it, it looks like a real person, and it is difficult to distinguish it with the naked eye. There are even companies that have developed special versions of home systems that satisfy the strange fetishes of some users, who are addicted to them......
Xin Lin is a person who pursues hands-on practice, and he is not very receptive to the smart home system, so he only sets up the simplest basic functions without any other changes.
This apartment is not large, the overall area is about 60 square meters, and the entrance is the hall, which occupies more than half of the space of the apartment. Because Xin Lin used the hall as his own practice room, it looked empty without any furniture or special arrangement. In addition, there is a bedroom, a kitchen and bathroom, and all the necessary amenities for life.
"Make me a late-night snack from the usual menu."
"Yes, Mr. Xinshan."
Xin Lin threw a command to the home system, then went into the bathroom to wash, and five minutes later, when he came out, he had changed into loose clothes, refreshed, and the kitchen was ready for supper.
