Chapter 774 Nieride 9
Although he was comforting him, William still felt a little awkward.
Beta Fu's "brotherly" look was a little different from the beautiful and cold dream lover in his mind.

The entire Pearl Island is divided into two sides, north and south.
The south is a paradise for tourists, while the north is an area for pearl seekers.
All the poor people gather here, either working as cheap labor for pearl-farming bosses or swimming to deeper waters in the hope of finding high-quality pearls and escaping poverty and becoming rich.
Old small wooden boat.
Various huts built with plastic and iron sheets.
Bamboo poles were set up on the beach, covered with old clothes and dried salted fish. Walking on the road, the mixed smell of sweat and the fishy smell of dried salted fish filled the air.
Wang Xiaoming carefully avoided the clothes that were blown to the ground by the wind and walked towards the recruitment office in front.
Just yesterday, his survival coins and backpack were stolen. The game redemption channel has been closed, forcing him to find other ways to make money.
The pearl worker recruiter glanced at him and said, "Basic salary is 10 yuan per day, and the use of diving equipment is free. The pearls you collect are weighed, and they are 20 yuan per pound."
As a newcomer who was unfamiliar with the place, Wang Xiaoming could only get a dishonest price.
But he nodded in agreement.
Because he had no other choice but to agree.
Take your tools, go out to sea unfamiliarly, and look for pearls in the shells according to what others have said.
The seawater was chilly in the morning. The constant influx of water from my inferior diving goggles caused unspeakable pain in my eyes. While pearling, my fingers and feet were constantly pricked by the sharp shells. After two or three hours of work, I'd collected less than a pound of shells.
"You only made this much in this morning?"
Wang Xiaoming was disliked by the manager when he came up, and he felt very depressed, but he had to go in the afternoon.
After a whole day's work, he finally got the hang of it, but he only earned 60 yuan in total for the whole day.
He was almost frozen to earn these 60 yuan. After eating a hot meal with the money, he still had more than 40 yuan left, but he didn't dare put it in his pocket. He took off his shoes and stuffed all the money into his socks.

late at night
He did not go back to the subway where he had slept before, but found a bridge tunnel nearby.
Many people were already sleeping there, most of them pearl divers as poor as he was. Wang Xiaoming looked around and finally found a spot covered in trash. A homeless man lay next to the trash, clearly a poor spot that no one had wanted to stay in before him.
But there is no other choice.
Tired after a day of work, Wang Xiaoming moved the garbage away, glanced at the homeless man next to him, and fell asleep leaning against the wall.

Day 3 of the game
The money was still safely in his socks, but if he wanted to survive in the game, these few dozen dollars would definitely not be enough.
Wang Xiaoming got up early and headed straight for the pearl-hunting bay. He was even more successful finding pearls today than yesterday, and he made 160.
After deducting the necessities of life, there is still 182 yuan left. As each day goes on like this, Wang Xiaoming feels that his life is becoming more and more promising.
——
After a day's work, I return to the bridge tunnel.
The homeless man was still there, still lying on the ground in the same position as when he left that morning.
Wang Xiaoming, feeling relieved, looked towards the homeless man and patted him on the back.
"Brother? Brother?"
The homeless man did not respond.
Seeing this, he exerted a little force with his palm and turned the man over.
A sour smell came over me.
The tramp grunted weakly twice, and then vomited a large pool of yellow liquid with a "wow".
