"Bump..." A brick passed by and hit the wall behind a young man, who suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"Boss, aren't you just asking for food? Why do you need to kill people?" the young man spat and shouted.
"If you don't give me money after the meal, how can I still handle the debt? If I don't break one of your legs, it's fine. Don't run away if you have the ability!" The roadside stall owner said and picked up another brick from the ground.
When the young man saw this posture, he ran away. On the way, he didn't forget to turn around and say: "Wait for me if you have the ability...".
The name of this young man who ran away for a meal of fried noodles was Ye Qin. In 2068, the world experienced an unprecedented subprime mortgage crisis. The world's financial chain collapsed. In addition, due to the deterioration of the global climate, various ancient germs began to revive, eventually causing the world economy to collapse. After going back a full 50 years, the unemployment rate has reached its peak and continues to rise. However, technological development, education and medical care have not been affected. Today, 50 years later, doctors, scientists, teachers and other professions are still the most stable professions.
Ye Qin was raised by his grandmother since he was a child. His impression of his parents is limited to the fact that both parents are experts in the research and development of bioscience and technology. However, his parents were not able to accompany Ye Qin to grow up, but abandoned the young Ye Qin because of a traffic accident. Whenever the subject of her parents was brought up, grandma always avoided talking about it, and even avoided his questions many times.
On Ye Qin's 17th birthday, his grandmother unfortunately passed away on the road because he went out to work. Since then, he has lived alone on the savings left by his grandmother and the money he earned from occasional work.
A year has passed unknowingly. Today is Ye Qin's 18th birthday. This is his first hot meal in the past two days. Due to the impact of the financial crisis, the unemployment rate continues to rise, and people like him, who have no education or experience, There are even more people with no background. My grandma told me that since Ye Qin’s parents were in elementary school, all fields in the world have gradually moved towards the era of “involution”. Academic qualifications and professional certificates are like waste paper all over the street. Everyone has an undergraduate degree and holds a bachelor's degree, and most of them have a master's degree. Due to the evolution of education, a new degree has been derived from a doctorate or above - "wise man", which means wise or resourceful. A person who is dedicated to counter-thinking or reasoning work. Ye Qin’s parents were among the first batch of Ph.D.s in biological science and technology.
Ye Qin walked on the empty street, the biting cold wind blowing on his face like a knife. The New Year was about to come. Ye Qin was afraid of the New Year, especially now that he was helpless. He walked without thinking. Not knowing how far he had walked, a sudden gust of wind blew an advertising leaflet onto his face. Ye Qin cursed and took the leaflet off his face to look at it.
"Oh? A new dimension mode game? Can game currency be exchanged for real currency? There are game experience stores in major cities around the world? The first 500 test users in each city will receive free 3D dimension helmets?" Ye Qin said to himself "Good guy, why have I never heard of such a big battle? Besides, how can I not be a part of such a good thing?"
He looked at the address of the nearby game experience store and planned to get up early the next day to get the game helmet as soon as possible. Ye Qin didn't even think about registering the game. He just wanted to get the helmet and sell it like a scalper. Selling to others was a lucrative business for him. At the very least, it would not be a problem to spend a little money to keep him fed for a few days.
The next day, Ye Qin went out early without washing his face or brushing his teeth. When he arrived at the game experience store, he was dumbfounded. What does it mean to "get up early and catch a late market"? There was a whole scene of people lining up on the street and at the end of the alley. When I took a closer look, there were even some great people setting up tents and sleeping bags in front of me.
"What's going on? With so many people queuing up, can I still get my helmet on?" Ye Qin said without delaying his steps and quickly got to the back of the queue. "It looks like I'm going to be hungry again these days."
"Gulu...Gulu..." Ye Qin subconsciously touched his stomach. Wasn't this damn belly just full after eating last night? It started to scream so quickly.
Just when Ye Qin was getting the helmet today and selling it to make money for a big meal, the crowd suddenly became confused, "Look, look, the door is open, the door is open!" I don't know who made that voice, and the whole team started to cry. It suddenly became quiet, but what followed was a roar from the crowd. Before Ye Qin was ready, there was a blast, and the crowd behind him suddenly pushed him up.
"Help, help, don't push forward!" Someone in front suddenly shouted, "Don't forget to push forward, keep an eye on it, ouch! You stepped on me...".
Ye Qin was also raised with his feet off the ground, but he had no problem at all. Thanks to the good skin given by his parents, although his weight was average, he was very well-proportioned. He was 178cm tall and 65kg, neither too high nor too low. , neither fat nor thin, but has very good physical fitness since childhood.
Not long after, Ye Qin was forced into the game experience store along with the crowd. It took a lot of effort to prevent the crowd from pushing me out. As he approached the door, he saw a buddy with footprints on his face standing in the corner of the door. Lying down, he was so miserable. Not only were there footprints on his face, but his poor hands were bruised from being stepped on. Seeing this buddy huddled alone in the corner and feeling sad, Ye Qin stepped forward and said, "Oh! Bro, are you still here?" Okay? Are you okay?"
"Huh? Is everything okay? Do you think I'm okay?" The guy replied angrily, "You don't have eyes, can't you see?"
"I'm kindly asking you this early in the morning, why are you so angry?" Ye Qin curled his lips and said angrily, "Why don't you get up and wait to be trampled to death?"
With a "pop", this guy jumped up, patted the footprints on his body, and casually wiped his face with his hands. "That's right. I need to get the helmet quickly. I heard that this helmet is from Qiyun." The company’s latest generation biological gaming helmet is not worth at least 10K yuan.”
When Ye Qin heard this, all the money was floating around in front of his eyes. Without saying a word, he pulled this guy up and said, "Get up, follow me!"
Ye Qin tiptoed to find the spot at the sales desk, and pushed forward with this buddy until both of them were almost exhausted before they reached the window.
"Hold on, don't let the people behind you get pushed in." Ye Qin shouted to the buddy he rescued without looking back.
"Hurry up, I can't last long," a hoarse voice came from behind.
"Sister, give me two helmets," Ye Qin stood up and shouted to the sales lady.
"Hello, Qiyun Company's gaming helmet is developed based on bionic technology. Once owner identification is enabled, it cannot be bought, sold or lent to others. Your account must be activated in the store. You cannot enter the game until midnight today. The following is the information. Notice, please sign!" He said and handed an informed notice to Ye Qin. Yes, it was a thick informed notice, with about 50 pages. Ye Qin did not read it carefully. He picked up the pen and signed the words.
Afterwards, the sales lady handed the gaming helmet to Ye Qin, "Sir, after you get the helmet, you must wear it and activate it before leaving the store. The helmet comes with bio-anti-theft technology. It will hurt if you get shocked!" The sales lady said He smiled cutely and said, "By the way, is the gentleman with footprints on his face behind you your friend? I feel like he is dying."
Ye Qin turned around and saw, "Oh my God, this guy is really fighting for this gaming helmet. He was so squeezed that he rolled his eyes."
