"Should it be here?"
Under the scorching sun, Li Yaolin, wearing a sun hat, a white T-shirt, and a pair of denim shorts, looked down at her phone, then looked up at the vast sea in front of her.
The midday sun was so glaring that she could hardly open her eyes. Sweat soaked her clothes on her back and underarms. With a backpack on her back, she felt like her back was pressed against a small stove, so hot that she suspected that the meat on her back was already seven-tenths cooked.
She grabbed a travel brochure and shook it over her face, trying to cool herself down. However, the scorching summer wind mixed with the fishy sea breeze hit her and met the sweat on her forehead, nose and temples. It was as if some chemical reaction had occurred. Her face suddenly felt like it was covered with a layer of glue, sticky, as if her facial features were about to melt.
Worried that she would faint if she stayed in the sun for one more second, Li Yaolin stuffed her phone into her trouser pocket, fanned herself, and dragged her suitcase to find a shaded place.
Although the tent on top could not insulate, it was a lifesaver for Li Yaolin. She took off her sun hat and wiped the sweat off her forehead, put it back on, and then took out her phone again to open an APP.
The desktop icon of the APP is very similar to the style of those mobile games in the app market. It only has four characters: "Poseidon Holiday". This style and name together make it a mobile game. ——Although this APP still stubbornly told her that it was not a game.
After clicking on the APP, without any loading screen or buffer time, a minimalist window popped up and occupied the entire mobile phone screen. Li Yaolin clicked on it and couldn't help wondering: "I'm here, why haven't I completed the task yet? It must be fake!"
Tsk, she was really confused. She actually had a little expectation for it.
Finally, she understood how those students who fell into pyramid schemes and campus loan frauds in the news were deceived. It turned out that the idiot was herself!
But...
the things in the document bag in the backpack are not fake.
She looked down at the app again, and saw a mailbox icon in the upper right corner of the screen with a blue ocean, and a red number ① was emitting a flashing light. She clicked it and saw the familiar lines of words on it:
[Mission: Activate the island owner's authority (unfinished)
Complete the task to get a million cash!
Warm reminder: reach the sea area shown on the map and find the target island. ]
Her eyes stayed on the "million cash", and Li Yaolin swallowed her saliva unconvincingly, and then looked away. She thought about it, she should have reached the waters of Baoren Port in Youshi as shown on the map, but she had not found the target island yet, so the mission was not successful?
Anyway, since she was already here, she would just ask where the target island was. For now, she should buy a bottle of water to quench her thirst, otherwise she would really get heat stroke, and she would have to meet the so-called "sea god" before she got the money.
The tent was propped up by a convenience store. Li Yaolin went in to get a bottle of water. When she turned around, she saw the shirtless store owner, wearing only a pair of shorts, lying under a ceiling fan and playing "Supreme Glory". He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
It was too hot for the eyes.
Li Yaolin looked away: "Boss, how much?"
The store owner spoke in authentic plastic Mandarin: "Two dollars!" After
scanning the code and paying the bill, Li Yaolin couldn't wait to unscrew the bottle cap and drank a third of the bottle in one breath. She wanted to go out, but suddenly remembered something, and then asked the shopkeeper: "Excuse me, how can I get to Taipa Island?"
At this time, the shopkeeper was willing to look away from the phone and looked at her. After looking her up and down, he He said: "There is a boat to go to the dock, but the chicken is no more than a pear. What are you doing there?"
It was extremely abrupt to ask about the stranger's whereabouts, but the shopkeeper's next words also made Li Yaolin understand why he asked this question.
"It's not developed yet. I think Li looks like a schoolgirl. It doesn't look like she's going to team building or sea fishing. Monkeys are so dangerous!"
Li Yaolin had a hard time hearing him speak Mandarin, and she also had a hard time listening, so she simply started speaking in vernacular.
She is from Lingnan, but she has been taught Mandarin since she was a child. The school does not allow students to speak vernacular. Therefore, except for using vernacular when talking to family and friends, she uses Mandarin to communicate with others at other times, so that she subconsciously uses Mandarin whenever she speaks.
Li Yaolin lied without changing her expression: "This is not the graduation season. Our class is going to hold a graduation trip. I want to find a place to camp. I saw a recommendation in the little green book that there is a Taipa Island here that is suitable, so I went to check it out with my classmates."
It is true that she is a college student who is about to graduate. However, after encountering family changes and experiencing the social beatings of an unscrupulous boss who defaulted on internship wages and absconded with money, she also knows when to use lies to protect herself.
I don’t know if the shop owner heard any loopholes. Anyway, his mind returned to the game. He said in vernacular without raising his head: "If you go camping there, you might as well find a park to camp. You will only be bitten by mosquitoes. The safety in the park is relatively high."
Taipa Island aroused his desire to share, "Taipa Island is the largest island here. In the early years, a boss from Qionghai said he wanted to rent it for development, but he couldn't continue it after only two years. He said it was too expensive and almost bankrupt, so that the island is still deserted to this day!"
Li Yaolin: "..."
She was really cheated? Will the next step of this APP be to tell her that she has a huge debt?
She was extremely uneasy and could not help but recall the family changes she had experienced: "I went home for the holidays and found that the house had been sold, my parents were divorced, my father ran away with Bai Yueguang, my mother found a second spring and had formed a new family, and she had no home to return to." And "the boss of the company where I had interned for three months owed me wages due to a lack of funds and then disappeared. After reporting to the police , I learned that he had absconded with money from his brother-in-law." Everything that happened:
the wages during the internship were low, and the unscrupulous company had a system of depositing one and a half months' wages, so after Li Yaolin suffered this double blow, she found that she only had more than 1,000 yuan left, which was not enough to pay the rent.
This more than 1,000 yuan was saved by her daily frugality.
She had saved up her tuition and living expenses by working part-time and doing summer jobs during college. She thought that she would be better off after finding an internship, because this internship paid 3,500 yuan, but she had to pay a deposit of one and a half months, and the rent was also two deposits and one payment. The little savings she had during her studies were emptied out in an instant. She
finally survived the three-month internship, and on the 15th, when the salary was due, she was eagerly looking forward to the salary appearing on her payroll card, but from morning to night, from Monday to Friday, there was no money in the account.
In the past, the company would also delay for a few days, so no one felt anything was wrong, until everyone found that the boss and his brother-in-law, who was a project manager, had disappeared, and then everyone panicked.
The next thing I did was to be told that the company had gone bankrupt and the unscrupulous boss had fled abroad with his brother-in-law and the remaining project funds.
First, his father and his girlfriend disappeared with the money from the house sale, and now his boss and his brother-in-law ran away with the project funds. Li Yaolin couldn't help but feel confused. Is it popular to abscond with money now?
The overdue wages will not be returned. The boss's office is left with a pile of raffle tickets that were originally intended for activities. Because the raffle tickets are in cooperation with a third party, just like a convenience store that has gone bankrupt, but the bottle cap of the drink is engraved with "Another Bottle" and can still be redeemed at the manufacturer, the prizes on the raffle tickets can be redeemed, and the company's people divided up these raffle tickets.
Li Yaolin was also given a stack of raffle tickets.
She planned to scratch these lottery tickets and sell some valuable prizes to her colleagues, but she did not expect that when she scratched them off, the words "Taipa Island" were written in black letters on a white background.
Li Yaolin: "..."
What is this?
Is it a brand called "Taipa Island"?
What about Taipa Island? The Maserati voucher scraped out by my colleague next door still had the words 5 yuan on it, but this one had nothing on it. It only had the words "Taipa Island" printed on it. It couldn't be an island!
At this time, an APP called "Poseidon Holiday" quietly appeared on her phone, and as if she was afraid she didn't know it, it made a "ding" sound and pushed a notification to her: New island owners are welcome to join!
Li Yaolin:? ? ?
Did the backend install junk apps for her without permission again?
She tried to delete the app and disinfect it, and even restored the factory settings, but the app was still on the desktop.
Li Yaolin was confused. It seemed as if even this broken old phone was laughing at her misery!
Since she couldn't uninstall it, she would take a look at what kind of rogue app it was!
[Island detected, loading...]
[Loading successful! ]
[Island bound, island information updated! ]
As these subtitles kept jumping on the APP interface, the fog on the interface dissipated, and slowly a lonely boat-shaped island standing in the middle of the ocean emerged.
The author has something to say:
Sequel: After discovering that she was entangled by a rogue app, Li Yaolin chose to call the police. The country intervened, and the APP and the island were handed over to the country. The full text is over.
...
