Chapter 5: Uncle Badass
Matt didn't help, and Li Ji had to take the little girl back to his own house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info is indeed a snail house, plus the kitchen and bathroom together is twenty square. It looks like it's big, and there's not much room for it without the kitchen and bathroom.
A small bed is not a problem to sleep two people for the time being. It's not that Li Ji is a beast, but he has no money at all, he is poor and short-lived, so he buys a second-hand bed plus a quilt, and clothes that a little girl may need. At least a hundred or even two hundred dollars, plus James will definitely not take care of this little girl's food and drink, Li Ji's thousand dollars will last for more than a month at most before he goes bankrupt. So Li Ji prayed that Matt could find the little girl's parents soon, and on the other hand, he was also thinking about whether he should find a serious job.
At first, he came to the community welfare home because Li Ji had no identity certificate and could not speak English well. If you want to find a job, you have to work as a dishwasher and waiter in a restaurant in New York. After a month's salary, minus food, drink, and rent, there is nothing left. It's better to be in a community welfare home, where there is no salary, but there is finally food, shelter, and online learning. After several months of study, Li Ji has found the similarities and differences between the two worlds in terms of computer technology.
Overall, the world's computer technology is at least thirty years more advanced than the real world. Tony's Jarvis alone has been out of the real world for at least thirty years, not to mention Tony's steel armor. There's also Ultron (not made by Tony in the comics) and so on.
But the basis of computer technology is not much different between the two worlds, which means that Li Ji's computer technology can also work in this world. But the sad thing is that Li Ji doesn't have any certificates, and he doesn't even have a certificate of schooling. So looking for a job will also be despised. No way, people are from Harvard, you are a family squat, who do you guess the company will choose?
After thinking about it for a night, Li Ji, who is still thinking in Chinese style, was woken up by a little girl with panda eyes open in the morning. The little guy was asleep, but he hugged Li Ji, very tight, making him a little out of breath.
Gently broke free from the little bit, and after washing, he started a new day's work. Open the doors and windows of the building, clean the outside, and then get your share back in the cafeteria, while paying for the same one.
Back in the house, the little one was sleeping fragrantly. Li Ji didn't want to bother, so he went out to work after eating his share. At noon, I received Chinese food, and I also prepared one for the little one. Back home. The little one has already gotten up and had breakfast. Now I'm huddled under the covers and reading a book. The few books on computer technology in the room were borrowed from the library by Li Ji through the old man James. Although James is not rich, he is not small, and his library card can borrow several books at a time. If Li Ji does it, he can only borrow one copy and return it within a time limit.
I don't know if the little guy can read this kind of purely technical book, but through the book, looking at the little guy's confused eyes, Li Ji finally determined that this guy was purely boring.
"Get up and eat."
The little one lifted the quilt and sat down at the table, ready to move.
"Have you washed it? Don't have your clothes on yet? “
The little guy pursed his mouth, quickly got dressed, and rushed into the bathroom, the door slammed shut.
The afternoon work was very busy, and Li Ji, who was taking the little girl, had to work on the one hand, and take care of Jane on the other. lest a careless little one not know where to go. It's been a really tiring day.
Before getting off work, Li Ji took the time to find James and have a good talk, but James was very regretful.
Are you regretting that there is no free labor without pay?
Despite this, Li Ji is still grateful to James. Not everyone can lend a helping hand when someone else is in trouble. Li Ji, a three-man man, can be regarded as a potential dangerous element, James can accept it, and from time to time he gives a little tip so that Li Ji can fight tooth sacrifices, which is already very enlightened. Not to mention the noble act of helping Li Ji borrow books.
James is really good, too.
"You can stay here until the end of the first month after you get a job. Also, remember there's an old guy here. ”
James let go of the hug and patted Li Ji on the shoulder.
"I still have a few sets of children's clothes at home, and a worn-out computer, I'll bring them with me later, if you don't dislike it."
"Of course not. Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. Li Ji was a little excited. Computers!
The truth is much better than what James said. The clothes were indeed very old, they were worn by his son and daughter when they were children, and Mrs. James searched for a long time and found many sets. And the computer is not broken at all, it looks like new, but the hardware is a little outdated, and it is five or six years behind the new model.
"This is what my son gave me entertainment a few years ago, but you know, when I was younger, I was a sailor, and I could barely operate a boat, and I could only watch the news and listen to music. It's been a few years, it's a bit old, I hope you like it. After dinner, James looked melancholy, as if recalling his youthful years.
With a computer and clothes, Li Ji happily indulged in luxury: taking a taxi.
Back in the house, he ignored Jane, who was a little upset. Children are like this, everything wants to be new, and other people's old clothes, no matter how beautiful they are, don't like them.
Li Ji first installed the computer, fortunately this is a community welfare home, and the wireless network here is very good, so there is no need for Li Ji to install the network. After registering his email, Li Ji began to look for relevant recruitment information.
New York is a metropolitan city with many job opportunities and fierce competition. Every year, countless college students and high school students flood into the job market. The lowest number of jobs has hundreds of applicants. Li Ji reluctantly made a resume for himself, selected a few decoding-related occupations, and then wrote a small program and put it in the mailbox and sent it together. No way, he has neither college experience nor job opportunities, and the chances of applying for a job are very small, and this small program is still a secret biography he wrote before he crossed over. Of course, he didn't write it all, but only a part of it. He could only do so and prayed that his email would be seen by a professional. If it's just an ordinary HR employee, they will never be able to understand their own procedures.
Except for the decoding related, the program ape category, he doesn't have much confidence. His skills came from a senior brother. Before the crossing, this senior brother was also well-known in the Chinese hacker community. His level is only about half of this senior brother, if he is not a little talented in decoding, I am afraid that the hacker organization where the senior brother belongs will not take a fancy to him. With half of his brother's skills, he can find a good job in the real-world computer technology industry, but he has no confidence at all in this industry, which is much more advanced than the real world.
The ignorant are fearless. The more you know, the more you fear.
After getting the email, he started looking for a career as a photographer again. He vaguely remembered that in a cartoon about Spider-Man, the little spider was a reporter from a newspaper. Otaku Li Ji has good computer skills, and his photography skills can still be seen. So he made the hobby of being a photographer his second choice for work. After delineating the positions of a few photographers, I didn't submit my resume as soon as possible, but pulled it to the mailbox to save it, and tomorrow I can ask Matt to borrow a camera to take some photos in a few places I have thought of, and when I come back, I will send the photos and resumes together.
After working for an hour, I successfully submitted more than 50 resumes and found almost 20 spare ones. He began to supplement his technical accumulation online. When people are not busy, they will find it boring. When I get busy, I realize that time is far from enough.
After more than three hours of studying, his eyes were tired. So let it go. Looking back, Jane was asleep on her bed. There was not even a quilt covered. Because he was lying on his stomach, his saliva had already dripped onto the quilt.
Early in the morning, the biological clock automatically woke Li Ji up. Jane was still asleep. After Li Ji washed it, he bought it back early, and when the time was almost up, he called Matt. He clearly remembered that Matt slept differently than everyone else. Ordinary people sleep in beds, this guy sleeps in a special steel coffin, if he doesn't wake up, even if the phone rings loudly, he can't wake him up.
"Dude? What's the matter? Matt answered the phone angrily.
"Lend me a camera."
"Are you mistaken? Are you looking for a blind man to borrow a camera? Matt laughed.
"Ugh." Last night was so excited that Li Ji forgot that Matt was blind. He had the impression that Matt was omnipotent—omnipotent, blind.
"Bastard, do you want to borrow or not?" Li Ji was annoyed and angry.
"Okay. First of all, what do you borrow the camera for? Stealing children has changed to candid photography? Matt teased.
"Bastard." Li Ji was angry, and regretted it after hanging up the phone. Does this guy lend me a camera or not?
Matt is a good guy. After Li Ji returned to the house from the phone booth, he came with his camera in less than half an hour.
"Well, you're a beast. Dare to molest underage girls! I'll sue you. Matt tapped his cane.
didn't wait for Li Ji to speak.
"You're the big bad!" Jane cursed loudly and hid behind Li Ji.
"It's so rude. Call Uncle Big Badass. Li Ji hurriedly mended the knife.
"Uncle Big Bad." Jane decisively made up for it.
"Stinky boy." Matt reluctantly handed over the camera.
"Anyway, you're not going to be an entertainment reporter, are you?"
"Good idea, I was just going to sneak a picture of Tony Stark."
"If you have a car, you can catch up with Tony Stark's sports car." Matt smiled.
Tony Stark's sports cars are all custom-made, and there is only one in the world. If you want to catch up with him, you must not only have a good car, but also a good driver. It's a pity. Li Ji can neither afford a second-hand car nor be a good driver.
"Damn it!"
"Okay, I still have a case to follow, let's go first, I wish you to become a world-famous reporter as soon as possible." Matt left behind a bag of fruit and a bag of chocolates.
"Mm-hmm, thank you handsome uncle yet." Seeing that Jane was already stealing food, Li Ji patted Jane's head helplessly.
"Well, thank you, Uncle Badass."
Matt almost fell and walked away in a rage.
