Lin Chong's home is not far from the company, and the name of the community is Jinxiu Tiandi.
When Lin Chong bought a property five years ago, the housing prices in Lujiazui were soaring. Lin Chong gritted his teeth and bought a 90-square-meter high-rise apartment. Now, five years have passed, and the housing prices have soared like a dragon in the sky.
Even if Lin Chong took out all his assets now, it would not be enough to buy another 90-square-meter apartment here.
It was a matter of time and fate. If Lin Chong had not been ruthless and ruthless at the beginning, he would only be able to choose to retire in a second or third tier city now.
Compared with super first-tier megacities like Shanghai, although the cost of living in second- and third-tier cities is low, the corresponding urban construction, medical resources, social resources, and welfare resources are far inferior.
Moreover, Lin Chong's most valuable property is not the five million in the bank, but this house. No matter how the economic situation changes, this house will be enough for Lin Chong to spend his old age in peace.
The advantage of the house being located in the city center is that it has convenient supporting facilities. It is two streets away from the hospital, and there is a shopping mall and cinema on the other side. BaiNaohui is also to the east of the shopping mall.
On the way home, Lin Chong found a computer repair shop on the fifth floor of BaiNaohui. He spent half an hour determining that the computer was faulty and it was a minor problem that could be fixed by replacing the battery. After negotiating a price, they agreed to pick it up in the afternoon.
When leaving, Lin Chong paid special attention to the name of the repair shop.
'Protoss Electronics'.
Really domineering.
After coming out of Bainaohui, Lin Chong walked home for twenty minutes.
His home is located in the central part of Jinxiu Tiandi Community, Building 24, Zone A, with seven floors, one that is neither too high nor too low. From a scientific point of view, it is not a burden to walk downstairs during a power outage, and there should also be time to escape in the event of an earthquake, fire or other emergency.
In addition, it also conforms to the Feng Shui secret of choosing a building based on the 'seven ups and eight downs' principle.
He took the elevator back home. There was a mother and son in the elevator with him. They should be neighbors. The mother greeted Lin Chong with a smile, and she should have remembered Lin Chong, but Lin Chong had no impression of her at all.
Lin Chong responded with a smile, looking shy and timid. This was the camouflage Lin Chong usually used in his daily life. At work and in life, he was an engineering guy who was not good at conversation.
When the elevator reached the seventh floor, Lin Chong smiled and nodded at the mother and son before getting out of the elevator. The smile on his face then disappeared, replaced by indifference.
After pressing the fingerprint lock to open the door, Lin Chong entered and closed the door again. He breathed a sigh of relief, finally leaving human society and no longer having to communicate with others through language, eye contact, body language or emotions.
Just like what Lin Chong told the chief engineer, he doesn't like interacting with people, and his ideal in life is to live alone.
This is not world-weariness. Lin Chong went to the hospital for a psychological evaluation and his mental state was normal, though rather indifferent. He enjoyed being alive and thought life was a wonderful thing, but interacting with people was not.
Lin Chong doesn't like anything that involves contact with people, such as dating, traveling, arguing on forums, etc., but he likes reading, doing handicrafts, watching movies, eating hot pot, and strolling on the street alone.
His favorite pastime is to live alone in a huge city like a spectator, walking on the streets, watching the joys and sorrows of thousands of living beings, but none of them have anything to do with him.
We are grateful that modern society is advanced and convenient enough to allow Lin Chong to realize his ultimate ideal in life at the age of 32.
There are various game consoles in Lin Chong's living room, which is another interest and hobby of his. He also likes novels and comics. There is a huge bookshelf reaching the ceiling on one wall of the living room, on which are placed various comic novels and game discs that he has collected.
There is also a treadmill in the living room, facing the TV, making it convenient to watch TV series while running.
There are two bedrooms and one living room in the 90-square-meter apartment, one of which was turned into a studio by Lin Chong. There are various circuit boards, diodes and welding tools in it. Although he cannot make a CPU at home, various practices of "digital circuits and analog circuits" can be completed here.
The other room is the bedroom, which is equipped with the most advanced computer, which is also filled with American TV series, games and various welfare movies. In addition to the 200-megabit broadband, Lin Chong doesn’t know what else he needs. His needs in life have been greatly satisfied.
Opening the kitchen refrigerator, it is filled with various ingredients, including poultry, eggs, meat, milk, and everything else. Lin Chong has a shopping list and a recipe. He will prepare a recipe for himself according to his physical condition to ensure his health.
Lin Chong arranged everything for himself.
Just waiting to enjoy the next seventy years, or more, of leisurely retirement.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Chong, who was playing XBOX games in the living room, received a strange phone call.
"Hello?"
"Is this Mr. Lin Chong? Your laptop has been repaired, please come and get it." An old voice came from the other side.
"Okay, thank you." Lin Chong felt that the voice was a bit too old and did not fit the traditional image of a young man from a science and technology city, but he did not care.
Half an hour later, Lin Chong, wearing a vest, shorts and slippers, appeared on the fifth floor of BaiNaohui.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
'Protoss Electronics'.
Standing at the door of the shop, Lin Chong saw a white-haired old master who was repairing a disassembled machine with a soldering iron. The thing looked a bit like a "robot dog", but it had eight claws, and the claws were quite sharp. Is this a "robot spider"?
Inside the disassembled mechanical spider, Lin Chong noticed with his sharp eyes that there seemed to be a silver female doll, a bit like Alita in "Battle Angel". What is this?
Due to his work, Lin Chong is very familiar with various robotic pets, such as Sony's AIBO dog, but he has never seen this one before.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" The old master raised his head, revealing a pair of wise eyes under his glasses. Lin Chong inexplicably felt that these eyes were very familiar.
"I'm here to pick up my laptop, a Dell, and I came to get it repaired this morning." Lin Chong said, "A young man picked it up this morning."
"That's my clerk." The old man put down his tools and took out a laptop from the counter. "Is this it?"
Lin Chong saw that it was his Dell V13, so he took it and asked casually, "Is it fixed?"
"Yes." The old master nodded with a smile, "It took a lot of effort."
"Thank you." Lin Chong was about to leave when he took another look at the thing the old master had repaired. The thing was upside down and opened on the table, revealing the sophisticated mechanical parts inside, various small gears and bearings, like the inside of a watch, full of craftsmanship and beauty.
The silver-white female metal doll is located right in the center of the various parts.
What kind of toy is this?
Before leaving, Lin Chong couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you repairing?"
"This is the Queen Wa." The old master glanced at the things on the table. "It's OK. It's much easier than repairing your computer."
