Chapter 8: A Chance Encounter at the Shop (Thanks to Amamiya Kozhi's Alliance)

"Is Heshia going out today?"

After teaching the children at Grandma He's house for a while, Heshia's body gradually recovered, and now there are no signs of injury.

"Yes, I'll go to the upper floors later." Heshia sat at the dresser, combing her hair, then pulling it up and tying it up with a blue headband.

"I'm going to buy a new personal terminal and see if there's a suitable job."

"I'm afraid it's not easy to find a suitable job in Arpeggio City, and it may be better to go to Molybdenum City." Grandma He came to Hesia's room with a stack of cut melons.

"Grab something before you go out."

"Thank you."

"Most of the enterprises in Arpeggio City are engaged in industry, or some restaurants and not very good service industries, which are more tiring and not suitable for you to go." Grandma He is also outspoken about the city she is staying in now.

"Well, let's go check it out first." Heshia nodded.

Seeing Heshia so serious, Grandma He felt a little pity, "Actually, a girl like you shouldn't come out to work, it's better to raise it delicately." ”

"There is no such thing, people always have to be independent, and they can't always rely on their families."

Heshia tied the headband at the back of her head, then picked up a pair of glasses on the table and put them on, and then the original smooth black hair gradually turned to a dull gray, and the smart pale blue in her eyes also dimmed, and the dark eyes were hidden behind the reflection of the mirror.

The dreamy and touching girl just now has changed back to her former simple and unpretentious appearance.

"It's a good ability, it's a lot safer." Grandma praised from the sidelines.

It is a kind of luck for a girl to be very beautiful, but if the family background is not good, this kind of beauty will also bring a lot of hidden dangers, and the girl knows this in her heart.

"Then I'm out of the house."

After taking care of it, Heshia said goodbye to her grandmother and left the house.

The spacious corridor is the same as before, slightly cluttered, and there are people traveling from time to time under the bright yellow street lamps, some are going out to buy things, some are going to work, and some are sending children to school, and now the primary school has opened. Although various means of transportation are becoming more and more developed in today's era, not many people at the bottom of the family buy them in order to save money.

In addition, the convenience of public elevators and tracks in underground cities is also a reason.

"Hesia, morning."

"Is it Hesia, going out today?"

"Well, it's going to buy something." The girl nodded in reply.

"Little Tilan is finally willing to go out for a walk."

Most of the neighbors in the surrounding area now know the girl, firstly, because the previous incident was too famous, and people in several surrounding communities talked about it for more than a week, and also because Heshia lived in Grandma He's house as a tutor, and after a few children studied, they would always talk about this girl when they played with other companions, so that many adults around them also knew.

Although Hehia still couldn't remember the full names or names of the neighbors, the familiarity of this time was not as flustered as before.

Stepping into the vertical elevator and watching the doors slowly close and the elevator became quiet, Hehia breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so enthusiastic, everyone, this feeling is really rare before.

She didn't live here as a child, she moved in with her family about six years ago, and maybe her father had a little interaction with the neighbors at the time, but she didn't know much about it as a child.

The security around the community can not be said to be very good, but it is not very bad, most of the people who live here are more than ten years old, and there are even several generations, such as how grandma's house.

Drops –

[43rd floor has arrived]

The elevator doors open, and the high-rise buildings full of neon signs come into view, and the air is a little fresher.

Arrived, Heshia stepped out of the elevator, thinking about her two goals for the day.

One is to buy a new personal terminal, and the other is to find out if there is a suitable job.

Let's go buy a personal terminal first, Hesia turned to the bustling pedestrian shopping street on the side.

Walking on the spacious street, the surrounding people come and go, the warm breeze blows down from the ceiling from time to time, bringing up a little hair, and the blue and purple neon lights reflect the girl and the pedestrian into mottled squares, light and shadow dotted among them.

The shops on the road are decorated in different styles, and the contrast between the bright light and the dark streets in the shops is striking, like two different worlds.

The laser-gradient glass door swirls, and Heshea steps into the world of light.

In the pure white store, various virtual projections are constantly changing, demonstrating the functions of individual terminals.

"The Y-1800 is designed to deal with the unexpected situations of life, and its chrome flame crystal lens can concentrate and emit 'flame rays' in 2 seconds, which is enough to penetrate 20mm steel structures......"

"The Sentinel E-100 allows you to spy on any surveillance device within 100 meters of your perimeter so that your privacy is maximized......"

"The 'Matrix MR-4500', your all-in-one assistant for your life, whether it is analysis, calculation, auxiliary work, or enhanced personal defense weapons, will allow you to outperform the crowd and get closer to the ...... excellence"

"'Ink Painting Gewu 2700', elegant style, oriental charm, ink border enchantment allows your elegance and tranquility to be disturbed by the hustle and bustle of the outside world."

The models demonstrated in the advertisement are the main products of various brands today, and the prices are not cheap, such as the last one, which is the new product of the 'Moyun Workshop', which costs about 30,000 federal dollars.

The pupils swept over these new products, although Heshia was a little envious, but she didn't have a strong desire to buy, after all, at present, saving money is important.

Let's take a look at some cost-effective products, the models launched a few years ago should now be reduced in price.

However, just as the girl was walking around the store, she met an acquaintance.

"Hesia, are you also coming to see the new products?"

Lina, who has short blond hair, has a little dark purple on her forehead, and she wears a short coat that exposes her flexible waist, showing the vitality of youth, and beside her, there is a slightly mature elf man, who is dressed as a business elite.

"Is this Lina's friend?" He looked at Heshia with a slight curiosity, his eyes looking up and down.

"Yes, it's my classmate and friend." Lina replied graciously, and then walked over to Hesia.

"My previous personal terminal is broken, so come and see." Hehia glanced away slightly, feeling that she was like an ugly duckling at the moment, and Lina in front of her was so confident and dazzling.

"Alas, that's really the same way, and I'm also here to buy a new personal terminal." Lina slapped Heshia on the shoulder.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Heshia, who didn't want to refuse, could only be pulled by Lina, and then the three of them approached the counter together.

……

"Take that 'Purple Owl D-1260' down, I'd like to see it."

"Okay, wait a minute." The shopping guide nodded and smiled, and then took down a rare personal terminal behind her.

"This 'Purple Owl D-1260' can create the light and shadow effects of your personal stage alone, and play vocal music in high-definition with high power, and can also temporarily project dynamic backup dance characters, which is very suitable for people who like music......"

After Lina took it with interest, she continued to experiment with its functions and projected a dazzling stage effect in the store, which showed that she liked it very much.

"What do you think, dear~" After the test, Lina took the elf man beside her and asked in a coquettish tone that Heshia had never seen.

"I think it's pretty good, too." Although the men looked at it a little bored, when Lina asked, they still looked sure.

"Then buy this."

"No problem." After speaking, the man beckoned to the clerk.

"The price of this one is 23,890 federal coins, and we are doing an event here, so we can give you a discount of 22,890 federal coins......"

"Well, without saying too much, let's just check out." The man took the card reader that deducted the money and paid with a beep.

Heshia looked at it and smacked her tongue slightly, and secretly sighed in her heart that she had the surplus of a rich man, and now it would be good if she could find a job of 80 federal coins per day, after all, she has not graduated from high school yet.

"Thank you~ hee-hee."

Lina happily took over the brand-new personal terminal, immediately played with it in the palm of her hand, and after a while, she reluctantly put it down.

"Hesia, it's time to choose for you, which one do you like, I'll help you refer to it~"

"I can just buy the normal one, I don't need too many features." Hehia just wanted to save some money.

"Hey, why don't you buy a better one, I'll be in high school soon." Lina bent over to look at the models.

"No need." Hesia plucked up a little courage to refuse.

"Okay, so what's this?" As she spoke, she pointed to one of them.

['Silver Star Gr-620', which can create realistic scenery and sound effects, so that you can vacation anywhere and soothe your mood......]

"The price is 12,580 federal coins, although it is a model from a few years ago, but I heard that the evaluation is not bad."

"It's still too expensive." Heshia shook her head.

After that, Lina recommended a few more, and Heshia had to refuse again and choose for herself.

"Otherwise, I will lend some money from your friend, and I won't have to pay it back in a hurry." The elven man who had not spoken for a long time spoke, and he seemed to have been looking at Heshia for a long time.

"This ......," Lina hesitated.

"Thanks, this ...... I still don't need it, I just buy it myself. Heshia looked up and replied with some embarrassment.

Seeing that she insisted, the two of them couldn't say anything more.

In the end, Heshea bought a slightly older, but well-rated and durable model, which cost about 4,000 federal coins.

In fact, this price is still a bit high, but the cheaper Hesia is embarrassed to choose, if it weren't for these two people by her side, she would be satisfied with the basic model of 2000-3000 federal coins.

After finishing the purchase, the three walked out of the store, and Lina invited Heshia to go with her for a drink, but Heshia politely declined.

After a bit of goodbye, Heshia waved away.

Watching Heshia walk out of the store, the elf man stayed on the girl's beautiful back for a long time before he lowered his head and asked Lina, who was playing with his personal terminal.

"Why haven't I heard you talk about this friend before?"

"She." Lina looked up.

"She's not very well-known in the class, and I used to be at the same table with her for a while before I got acquainted with her."

"How to say it, it's very introverted and doesn't like to talk, it's just like a stone, it's very boring, and there's no topic to talk about any popular things with her."

"I think her appearance is okay, but there is no one around to pursue her?"

"Looks, well, that's true, Heshea doesn't know how to dress up, but she was born with good skin, and she looks really good, at least there are few people I know who can surpass her......" Lina thought as well.

"It's strange, it's true that no one has pursued her, probably too ordinary? Ignore it unconsciously, plus she never takes the initiative to communicate with others, and she usually wears glasses. ”

"By the way, wearing glasses, you don't know that she has gray hair and glasses, and she usually doesn't go out after class, just sits in the corner, so no one pays attention to her, and many classes in junior high school are taken together by several classes, many of them are strangers, and no one talks to her."

"It looks like a piece of jade." The elven man pushed the silver wire glasses.

"Hey, are you interested in her?"

"Just wanted to know more."

"Tsk, I don't know what you men think, maybe you're still thinking about carrying the two of us to bed together." Lina waved her hand.

"It's up to you, you can find her, but I'm not going to help."

"Why?" The elf man was puzzled, because he had just wanted Lina to pull the strings.

"Don't you think it's a bit insulting, I also have a temper."

"Then next time I'll take you to Bailang Beach in the second district of the south for a tour." For those who have lived in underground cities for a long time, going to the beautiful beach outdoors is a great attraction.

"What's next?"

"Okay, this June."

"Okay, what you said, I'll help you inquire in the past two days, Heshea looks very short of money, and it is estimated that it will not be difficult to move her."

Putting away their terminals, the two walked out of the store and continued to a high-end restaurant with a flashing sign.

In the underground city of eternal night, the neon lights are constantly flickering, and people follow their desires, intoxicated and confused.
