"Is Hesia going out today?"
After helping to teach the children at Grandma He's house for a period of time, Hexia's body gradually recovered, and now there are no traces of injury.
"Yes, we'll go upstairs later." Hesia sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair, then rolled it up and tied it with a blue hairband.
"I'm going to buy a new personal terminal and see if there are any suitable jobs."
"I'm afraid it's difficult to find a suitable job in Payin City. It might be better to go to Mojing City." Grandma He came to Hexia's room carrying a stack of cut cantaloupes.
"Eat something before going out."
"Thanks."
"Most of the companies in Payin City are engaged in industry, or there are some restaurants and not-so-good service industries. It's quite tiring and not suitable for you." Grandma He is quite blunt about the city she currently lives in.
"Well, let's go take a look first." Hesia nodded.
Seeing Heshia being so serious, Grandma He felt a little pity, "Actually, a girl like you shouldn't go out to work. She should be raised delicately."
"It doesn't matter. People always have to become independent, and they can't always rely on their families."
Heshia tied the hairband on the back of her head, then picked up a pair of glasses on the table and put them on. Then her original smooth black hair gradually turned into a dull gray, and the vivid blue in her eyes also dimmed. The dark eyes were hidden behind the reflection of the mirror.
The dreamy and charming girl just now has now returned to her former simple and unpretentious appearance.
"It's a really good ability. It's a lot safer." Grandma praised at the side.
It is lucky for a girl to be beautiful, but if her family background is not good, such beauty will also bring many hidden dangers, and the girl knows this in her heart.
"Then I'm going out."
After cleaning up, Heshia said goodbye to her grandma and left the house.
The spacious corridors are a bit messy as before, and people are traveling from time to time under the bright yellow street lights. Some go shopping, some go to work, and some send their children to school. Now the elementary school has started. Although various means of transportation are becoming more and more developed in today's era, not many families at the bottom buy them in order to save money.
In addition, the convenience of public elevators and tracks in underground cities is also a reason.
"Good morning, Hesia."
"Is it Hesia, going out today?"
"Well, I'm going to buy something." The girl nodded and replied.
"Little Tilan is finally willing to go out for a walk."
Most of the neighbors in the surrounding area now know the girl. Firstly, it is because the previous incident was so famous that people in several surrounding communities have been talking about it for more than a week. Also, it is also because Heshia lives in Grandma He's house as a tutor, and several children study. Later, when playing with other friends, they would always talk about this girl, and many adults around her also knew about it.
Although Heshia still couldn't remember the full names or titles of these neighbors, the familiarity during this period made her less panicky than before.
After walking into the vertical elevator, Heshia breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the door slowly close and the elevator became quiet.
So enthusiastic, everyone. I have rarely experienced this feeling before.
She didn't live here since she was a child. She moved here with her family about six years ago. Maybe her father had some interactions with the neighbors at that time, but she didn't know much about it as a child.
The public security around the community cannot be said to be very good, but it is not bad either. Most of the people living here are families who have been here for more than ten years, and some of them have been passed down for several generations, such as Grandma He's family.
drop--
[Floor 43 has arrived]
The elevator door opened, and high-rise buildings full of neon signs came into view, and the air became a little fresher.
Arrived, Heshia stepped out of the elevator, thinking about her two goals for today.
The first is to buy a new personal terminal, and the second is to find out if there is a suitable job.
Let's buy a personal terminal first. Heshia's footsteps turned to the bustling pedestrian commercial street on the side.
Walking on the spacious street, people are coming and going around. The warm breeze blows down from the ceiling from time to time, picking up a few hairs. The blue and purple neon lights reflect the girls and pedestrians into mottled squares, embellished with light and shadow. in.
The shops on the road are decorated in different styles. The bright light in the store and the dark street form an extremely eye-catching contrast, like two different worlds.
The laser-gradient glass door rotated, and Heshia walked into this bright world.
In the pure white store, various virtual projections are constantly changing, demonstrating each function of the personal terminal.
"The 'Fire Eye Bird Y-1800' focuses on responding to emergencies in life. The chrome flame crystal lens it is equipped with can gather and emit 'flame rays' within 2 seconds, which is enough to penetrate a 20mm steel structure..."
"'Sentinel E-100' can help you detect any surveillance equipment within 100 meters of the surrounding area, so that your privacy can be protected to the maximum extent..."
"'Matrix MR-4500', your all-purpose assistant in life, whether it is analysis, calculation, auxiliary work, or enhanced personal defense weapons, it can make you surpass others and approach excellence..."
"'Ink Painting·Gewu 2700', elegant style, oriental charm, ink border makes your elegance and tranquility free from the noise of the outside world."
The models demonstrated in the advertisement are all products currently promoted by various brands, and the prices are not cheap. For example, the last model is the new product of 'Mo Yun Workshop', which sells for about 30,000 federal coins.
Her eyes swept over these new products. Although Heshia was a little envious, she didn't have a strong desire to buy them. After all, saving money was the most important thing for her at the moment.
It’s better to look at some cost-effective products. The models launched a few years ago should be reduced in price now.
However, while the girl was walking around the store, she met an acquaintance.
"Hesia, are you coming to see the new products too?"
Lina, who has short blond hair, has a hint of dark purple on her forehead. She is wearing a short coat, revealing her flexible waist, showing her youthful vitality. And beside her, there is a slightly mature elf man standing. He looks like The attire of a business elite.
"Is this Lina's friend?" He looked at Hesia with a little curiosity, looking up and down.
"Yes, he is my classmate and friend." Lina answered generously, and then walked towards Heshia.
"My previous personal terminal was broken, so I came to take a look." Hesia looked away slightly, feeling like an ugly duckling at this moment, while Lina in front of her was so confident and dazzling.
"Oh, that's really the same journey. I'm also here to buy a new personal terminal." Lina patted Hesia on the shoulder.
"Let's go and take a look together."
Heshia, who didn't want to refuse, could only be pulled together by Lina, and then the three of them approached the counter together.
…
"Take down that 'Purple Owl D-1260', I want to see it."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The shopping guide nodded and smiled, then took down a rare personal terminal behind her.
"This 'Purple Owl D-1260' can independently create the light and shadow effect of a personal stage, play vocal music in high-definition with high power, and temporarily project dynamic dancing figures. It is very suitable for people who like music..."
After Lina took it with interest, she continued to test its functions and projected a colorful stage effect in the store. It was obvious that she liked it very much.
"What do you think, my dear~" After the experiment, Lina held her arm with the elf man beside her and asked in a coquettish tone that Hesia had never seen before.
"I think it's pretty good too." Although the men looked a little bored during the process, when Lina asked, her face was still positive.
"Then buy this."
"No problem." After saying this, the man waved to the clerk.
"The price of this product is 23,890 federal coins. We are doing an event here and can give you a discount of 22,890 federal coins..."
"Well, there's no need to say too much. Let's just check out." The man took the debit card swiper and paid with a beep.
Heshia looked on and smacked her tongue slightly, secretly sighing at the luxury of the rich. It would be great if she could find a job that paid 80 federal coins per day. After all, she has not graduated from high school.
"Thank you~ Hehe."
Lina happily took over the brand new personal terminal and immediately played with it in the palm of her hand. After playing with it for a while, she reluctantly put it down.
"Hesia, now it's time to help you choose. Which one do you like? I'll help you make a reference~"
"I'll just buy the ordinary one. I don't need too many functions." Hesia just wanted to save some money.
"Hey, wouldn't it be better if you don't buy it? You will be in high school soon." Lina bent to the side and looked at various models.
"No need." Hesia plucked up the courage to refuse.
"Okay, what about this one?" She pointed to one of them.
['Silver Star Gr-620' can create simulated scenery and sound effects, allowing you to take a vacation anywhere and relax your mood...]
"The price is 12,580 federal coins. Although it is a model from a few years ago, I heard that the reviews are pretty good."
"It's still too expensive." Hesia shook her head.
After that, Lina recommended several more, and Heshia had to reject them again and choose them herself.
"How about I lend your friend part of the money, and you don't have to worry about paying it back." The elf man who had not spoken for a long time spoke. He had been looking at Hesia for what seemed like a long time.
"This..." Lina hesitated.
"Thank you, this... I don't need it anymore, I can just buy it myself." Hesia looked up and replied with some embarrassment.
Seeing her persistence, the two of them couldn't say anything else.
In the end, Heshia bought a model that was slightly older but had good reviews and was durable, costing about 4,000 federal coins.
In fact, the price is still a bit high, but Heshia was embarrassed to choose the cheaper one. If it weren't for these two people around her, she would be satisfied with the basic model for 2,000-3,000 federal coins.
After finishing the purchase, the three of them walked out of the store. Lina invited Heshia to have a drink together, but Heshia declined.
After saying goodbye, Hesia waved and left.
Watching Hesia walk out of the store, the elf man lingered on the girl's beautiful back for a long time, and then lowered his head to ask Lina who was playing with her personal terminal.
"Why haven't I heard you talk about this friend before?"
"Her." Lina looked up.
"She is not very famous in the class. I only got to know her after being at the same table with her for a while."
"How should I put it? She is very introverted and doesn't like to talk. She is just like a stone. She is very boring. There is no topic to talk about any popular things with her."
"I think her appearance is okay, isn't there anyone around her who wants to pursue her?"
"Appearance, well, that's true. Although Heshia doesn't know how to dress up, she is born with very good skin and looks really good. At least there are few people I know who can surpass her..." Lina also agreed at this time. Think about it.
"It's strange. No one has ever pursued her. Maybe she's too ordinary? She ignored her without realizing it. Plus, she never takes the initiative to communicate with others, and she usually wears glasses."
"By the way, she wears glasses. Didn't you know that she has gray hair and wears glasses? She usually doesn't go out after class and just sits in the corner, so no one pays attention to her. Moreover, many classes in junior high school are held together in several classes. Many of them are strangers, and no one talks to her."
"It looks like a piece of rough jade." The elf man pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses.
"Hey, are you interested in her?"
"Just wanted to know more about it."
"Tsk, I don't know what you men are thinking. Maybe you are still thinking of putting the two of us in bed together." Lina waved her hand.
"It's up to you. You can find her if you want, but I won't help."
"Why?" The elf man was puzzled, because he just wanted Lina to lead the way.
"Don't you think it's a bit insulting? I also have a temper."
"Then next time I will take you to Bailang Beach in South District 2." For people who have lived in underground cities for a long time, going to the beautiful seaside beach outdoors is a very attractive thing.
"When is the next time?"
"Okay, this June."
"Okay, you said it. I'll help you find out in the past two days. Heshia seems to be very short of money. I guess it won't be difficult to persuade her."
Putting away their personal terminals, the two walked out of the store and continued towards a high-end restaurant with a flashing sign.
In the underground city where it's always night, neon lights flicker endlessly, and people follow their own desires, intoxicated and confused.
