Half a year passed quietly, and Gu Shun also ushered in his first birthday.

In the past six months, the old woman got up early every day and worked tirelessly to fold paper flowers.

In order to buy expensive milk powder for Gu Shun, she had to work harder than before.

Originally, I wanted to go to the orphanage to adopt a child who could share the work for myself, but I brought back a child who was still nursing.

This makes it even worse for families who are already not wealthy.

But even if she is a little tired and hard, she can watch her Shunshun grow stronger day by day, and the old woman's heart is full of joy.

It's not a big deal.

Gu Shun naturally saw all this in his eyes.

Although the family is very poor, since he came here, he has never lacked a bite to eat.

Gu Shun calculated that his grandmother could earn 1 copper Ge for every white flower folded, and a can of the cheapest milk powder would cost about 350 copper Ge.

She had to fold 350 paper flowers to save up for a week's worth of milk powder for herself.

Grandma is old and inconvenient with her hands and feet, and it often takes a long time to fold a paper flower.

And as he grows up, the demand for milk powder will be greater, and grandma can only work day and night to meet Gu Shun's needs.

Gu Shun watched the third watch in the middle of the night, and her grandmother was still bending down to work in front of a dim lamp. The already hunched body was even more rickety, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He longed for himself to grow up soon, so that he could help his grandmother share the work so that she could enjoy her old age in peace.

So not long after Gu Shuncong came, he began to understand the customs and customs outside, in order to find a way to make money, and at the same time practiced walking desperately.

Through half a year of exposure to the world, Gu Shun has a preliminary understanding of the world he lives in.

At the same time, he was able to barely walk with the help of some tools.

He learned that the place where he lived was called Lower City, and it also had a very notorious name, the Fog Capital.

Because the city here is shrouded in a dark fog all day long, and the fog does not disperse all year round, and even at noon, when the sun is at its hottest, the sky of the whole city is as dark as a veil.

These fogs contain a large amount of poisonous miasma and particulate matter, which is very harmful to the human body, animals and plants.

As a result, the yield of crops in the lower city is very low, and people often do not have enough to eat, and most of them are plagued by pollution, disease, and short lifespans.

As a result, the lower city is also known as a gathering place of slums and sick seedlings, and is looked down upon by everyone.

But the pollution in the lower city does not come from itself.

On the east side of the lower city, there are two tall towers, and after passing through the border inspection isolated by the towers, there is an unusually prosperous and wealthy city, the upper city, also known as the rainbow city or the city of hope and the city that never sleeps.

According to those who have seen the uptown, there are steel-cast skyscrapers one after another, the streets are neat and clean, and countless colorful neon projections play drunken advertisements and even cars that can levitate in the air.

The people who live there are wearing high-tech equipment that can be projected, and they can also shuttle through a world called the metaverse through a kind of chip.

The man who said these words was the old man who was known as Mad Joe.

It is said that when he was young, he was once hired by the lord of Shangcheng as a driver to deliver a batch of goods to Shangcheng.

The Upper City and the Lower City used to belong to the same city-state called Meta, and the upper city was full of tall towers, and the lower city was full of wheat fields.

It was only later, with the explosion of technology, that the gap between the upper and lower cities became wider and wider.

The upper city gradually became a paradise of wealth and technology, while the lower city was drained of talent and resources, and most of it was reduced to a slum full of civilians.

Later, because of the frequent theft, robbery and rebellion of the people in the lower city, the upper city set up border checks in the places that connected with the lower city.

With the exception of merchants and diplomats, all those who went down to the city were not allowed to enter the upper city. It is also forbidden for the people of the upper city to export any resources and technology to the lower city in any form.

This border control has been in existence for more than 100 years now.

And Old Man Qiao is only in his seventies this year, but he said that he had been to Shangcheng, and others only thought that he was old and crazy, and he was talking nonsense.

No one has ever seen what the upper city looks like, and it must be similar to the lower city.

Gu Shun was quite concerned about the words of the madman Joe, if the truth was really as he said, then the technological level of this world was definitely much higher than that of a city abandoned by the times, such as Xiacheng.

Moreover, Gu Shun found that the fog in the lower city was floating from the direction of the upper city.

The bleak scene of the lower city can have today, all thanks to the upper city, but the prosperity of the upper city has caused the lower city to suffer, which is very similar to some shameless big countries in the previous life.

However, the most urgent thing for Gu Shun to solve right now is the problem of food and survival.

As for Uptown, it's just out of reach.

Just as Gu Shun was thinking, a prompt suddenly popped up in the Sims system.

【Life Node Updated】

[0 years old, you were born, you are a boy. Your mother dumped you in the landfill, but unfortunately she didn't get out of the garbage plant, and you were sent to an orphanage by the kind landfillers.

[At the age of 1, you successfully modified your life node, was adopted by a well-wisher, reversed your life, and thanks to your grandmother's careful care, you no longer have to go hungry]

[Congratulations on getting the trigger reward, talent selection chance +1]

【Please choose 1 of the following talents as a reward】

[Talent 1: Pet Killer (F Rank), your pet always dies]

[Talent 2: Children with cerebral palsy (grade F), unfortunately suffering from cerebral palsy, intelligence will be cleared]

[Talent 3: Can't grasp it (F level), you always can't resist the temptation, and you can lift this talent when you meet an Uncle Pan]

[Talent 4: Men and women (D level), you have bisexual charm, women's clothing is captivating, men's clothing is powerful and chic, your appearance will be improved]

[Talent 5: Incurable Disorder (F Grade), you have obsessive-compulsive disorder and delusional victimization disorder]

……

[Talent 10: Scavenger (D Rank), you have a natural judgment of garbage, and can see the functions and attributes of some items]

Gu Shun looked at the prompts of the Sims system and sighed silently, it turned out that he was already 1 year old.

Since he left the orphanage early, he completed the modification of his life node.

And this time, the system actually rewarded an additional talent selection opportunity.

This made Gu Shun very happy.

He also thought that the winning rate of this extra talent reward would be the same as a slash in the evening, and it would basically not be triggered.

I didn't expect it to be simulated twice, and this system is quite conscientious.

Gu Shun didn't have time to think about it, and immediately picked out the talent.

Compared to the talent lottery before entering this world, the talent level is obviously much worse.

There are only 2 D-grades, and the rest are all F-grades.

But the only thing that remains constant is that these talents are still very pitiful.

Pet killers, children with cerebral palsy, incurable diseases...... What the hell is this, if Gu Shunxuan is really cerebral palsy.

As for the one that can't be grasped, Gu Shun has strong self-control, and he will definitely not be unable to grasp it, and he doesn't need to let Uncle Pan do it.

There is also that D-level talent, which can be both male and female, and this talent is simply a god-level talent for women's clothing lovers.

But he doesn't need to wear women's clothes to deceive the man's feelings.

Gu Shun swore that no matter how many times he simulated reincarnation, he would never wear women's clothes.

Looking at these talents, Gu Shun chose the last one without hesitation.

It's just because he doesn't have a choice.

Scavengers seem to be the only serious talent left.

[Congratulations, choose the gifted scavenger]

[Currently equipped talents: Shuangwen Life (Passive: Unordered), Detective, Scavenger]

Gu Shun came back to his senses, and there was a knock on the door of the room.

Grandma got up and opened the door.

The knock on the door was Wang Laohan, who lived next door.

"Mrs. Li, I heard that the gypsies have come to the city, and I have heard from those who have been there that they have brought all kinds of strange gadgets, and they are still collecting all kinds of items, and if there are any things at home that they don't need, maybe they can go and exchange them for a good price."

"Gypsies?" Gu Shun suddenly became interested.

"I'm busy, and you see the tinkle of my poor house, where is there anything to change." Grandma was about to refuse.

"Grandma, I'm going to see it." Gu Shun opened his arms and begged with a clear look in his eyes.

Grandma immediately smiled, and quickly picked up Gu Shun and stroked his head affectionately.

"Okay, okay, my Shunshun wants to go, grandma will accompany you."

Wang Laohan was stunned, "I just said that I was not available, and this change of face is too fast." ”

However, Wang Laohan still sighed: "I still remember many years ago, when I was a child, that distant afternoon when my father took me to see my mobile phone. The gypsies haven't been here for many years. ”
