After sleeping until he woke up naturally, he didn't know what time it was. Lu Li felt full of energy and got up from the bed.
"A new life is waiting for you in the Outer Colony, a chance to start over, in a golden land full of opportunity and adventure."
In the living room, Terry Company's colonial advertisement was playing on the projection TV. They were recruiting for various types of jobs, from captains to logistics personnel, with priority given to those with work experience.
A young man like Lu Li, who has just come of age and has no professional certificates, will most likely not even have a chance to be interviewed.
However, Lu Li still extracted the key information from this advertisement——
Navigator, driver, and captain, these three important positions can only be held by humans. Not to mention clones and robots, even modified humans are excluded, even if they only have prosthetic eyes.
Even the most arrogant person will have the feeling that a storm is coming.
Of course, for Lu Li, this should be a good thing. Although it is true that he is a werewolf, he has not installed a prosthetic body. He meets the alliance's criteria and belongs to the beneficiary group.
"Hurry up and distribute any welfare benefits. If you don't hurry up, I will embark on the road of crime."
With a casual sigh, Lu left a can of Snow Beer. Frankly speaking, when he saw it when he visited the convenience store yesterday, his heart was instantly filled with surprise.
Unfortunately, so far, apart from Snow Beer, I have only found Coca-Cola, a brand that has been a best-seller for thousands of years.
"Long time no see, Mr. Sato."
When taking the steam elevator downstairs, Lu Li met the neighbor again.
"Good day." Sato Fumjun looked at his watch and asked with a smile, "Are you going to school?"
"..."
The topic was killed.
Fortunately, the steam elevator descended very quickly, which prevented the two of them from falling into deeper embarrassment.
In fact, during this process, Mr. Sato really wanted to persuade Lu Li to study hard, but when he thought about the news that was widely circulated within the group, he felt that there was no need to be sentimental.
"Don't go to places where you can easily have conflicts with others. If you have a criminal record, it will affect your future."
When they were about to say goodbye, Sato Fumjun looked at Lu Li's back and couldn't help but remind him not to ruin his future.
You know, a young man who has no guardian and can receive high subsidies from the government can easily go astray and associate with some bad people.
Naturally, Lu Li would not show off his face to other people's well-intentioned concerns. He responded happily:
"Got it, thank you."
After saying this, he waved to Mr. Sato who was rushing to work.
crime?
Lu Li thought about it and felt that he would not conflict with others. After all, there were no slums in the nearby districts and the security was very good.
"In the next three hours, the rainfall pH in Kabukicho and its surrounding areas will remain at normal levels, and citizens can put away their protective equipment."
Next to the traffic light, a mechanical chime sounded.
"Normal rain, how long has it been since you last seen it?"
"At least two years."
There was chatter among the crowd.
Lu Li followed the crowd and quickly crossed the road.
Not far away was the "Atom Club", with the neon lights flashing brightly, but he had no intention of going in, even though the hospitable Miss Kamio would treat him to a free breakfast and prepare a lot of delicious food.
Curious items to live in.
This idiom makes sense. Besides, how could anyone run to the other person every day as soon as they met?
Seems too cheap.
Next, Lu Li planned to go find Mr. Roger and talk about the stars.
North of the city, industrial zone.
The acid rain had just stopped, and water was dripping from the eaves and neon signs.
It's even more crowded than Kabukicho, and there's a hustle and bustle of people coming and going everywhere.
Workers either have just finished their work or are rushing to go to work. There are often suspended vehicles whizzing by overhead.
Due to his excellent eyesight, Lu Li raised his head and could still vaguely see the skyscrapers built in Kabukicho.
Perhaps because of poor sales and no money for advertising, the lady selling medicine no longer occupies the big screen, and is replaced by a certain girl idol group.
The holographic projections of the five members danced in the drizzle, and the LED lights kept changing colors to match their performance.
Of course, AI Girlfriend is still strong, probably because there are too many singles who lack love on this planet, and there are a few more billboards than yesterday.
"How do I get to Silver Street?"
"Go forward...turn left into Red Light Street...then cross Chinatown and you'll be there."
"Thanks."
"It's okay. For the sake of credit, I'll give you another piece of advice. If you're not in a hurry, you can try the delicious food there, which you can't find in other districts."
After years of acid rain and the laziness of the street management department, the road signs have become mottled.
In desperation, Lu Li began to ask for directions.
At first no one wanted to talk to him, but it wasn't until he promised five credits as reward that a dusty old man stopped, patiently guided him, and even gave a small piece of advice out of kindness.
Chinatown?
As we explore, there are more and more surprises.
But before that, do you need to walk through the Red Light Street, a street made of red lanterns?
All right.
Facts have proved that Lu Li was overthinking. After turning left, he entered a long street with neon lights flashing ambiguously. The shop doors on both sides of the road were wide open and girls were standing at the door to solicit customers.
Bunny girls, uniforms...
Although Kabukicho also does this kind of business, their style is reserved and they don't let their girls go out to solicit customers. The interior decoration also pays attention to a cultural background.
"Want to serve?"
"don't want."
"Only fifty credits."
"Sorry, I was in a hurry to go out and left my ID card at home."
"Sister, I think you are good-looking, so I don't charge you any money."
"High school student, not yet an adult."
As soon as these words came out, no one dared to bother him anymore, and Lu Li walked out of the red light street smoothly.
Next, there were far fewer neon lights, and the light became softer and less dazzling.
“Ramen”, “Cantonese-style morning tea”, “artificial crab roe soup dumplings”, “scalded dried shreds”, “Gubuli steamed buns”, “duck soup”, “rice bowl”…
The aroma hits your nostrils.
Just then, a table of customers left in front of the morning tea stall, and the boss raised his head and greeted: "There is space, there is space."
What was spoken was not the common language, but the Han nationality. Even though the pronunciation was a bit irregular, Lu Li felt very cordial and walked over quickly.
"Welcome, welcome."
"Come, please sit down."
The boss is an old man in his sixties or seventies, with a slight hunchback. He is cleaning the table with a clean rag on his shoulder.
"What do you want to eat?"
After speaking, he repeated it again in non-standard interstellar common language.
Lu Li picked up the menu, glanced at it casually, and immediately said: "Let's have four cages of pork liver and roasted wheat."
The boss saw that Lu Li's pronunciation was strange, but he also spoke Chinese, and his attitude became more kind, "Two servings are enough."
"No, four servings."
"Two servings are enough!"
"Then add a bowl of noodle soup."
"okay."
Seeing Lu Li's firm attitude, the boss simply stopped trying to persuade him and just muttered softly: "Young men nowadays don't even listen to what the old man says."
