Chapter 1: [Life Equipment Synthesis System]
"Did you watch last night's episode of 'Fen Dou Er'?"
"I stopped watching it after Lu Tao cheated. I only watch idol dramas now."
"Which channel are you watching? What drama?"
"I bought the disc, 'Madness in the Forbidden City'. The fight scene in the rain was so touching..."
Zhai Da looked around blankly.
A hospital ward, a four-person room, and a very retro ward...
The dim light of the afternoon filled the room. The floor was made of old terrazzo, with broken stone pieces and glass shards dissolved in cement, forming a kaleidoscope-like pattern.
On the bed next to him was a skinny old man, with his legs crossed, flipping through a newspaper that read "Yangzi Evening News".
It has a strong daddy vibe.
There was also a black brick-like radio next to it, broadcasting news from somewhere unknown.
"Beijing's Olympic preparations are entering the countdown, with over 1.5 million volunteers expected to participate..."
"The Shanghai Composite Index hit a new high and is expected to reach 6,000 points this year..."
"New Century Financial, the second-largest subprime mortgage lender in the United States, has declared bankruptcy..."
"Experts say the current real estate market is chaotic and irrational, and recommend that everyone sell at a high point to take profits, invest in a bull market, and then buy back when prices return to normal."
The two nurses were also dressed in retro outfits, with white soft-soled shoes on their feet, thick flesh-colored stockings pressed against the insteps, and hats on their heads that looked like little white boats. When they bent down to take out their quilts, they were worried that they would fall off.
"Wait...what are you doing?!"
Zhai Da felt a hand going deeper and deeper, and quickly retracted his legs.
The nurse rolled her eyes and pulled out an empty urinal from under the covers.
"Are you awake? I was planning to insert a catheter into you if you didn't wake up this afternoon. The doctor will be here soon. Lie still and don't move."
Zhai Da felt a chill down his spine.
The nurse's expression was very calm. She was knowledgeable and had seen a lot, from the Eastern Dragon to the crooked-mouthed evil god. What had she not seen?
"Don't get excited. We still haven't figured out why you fainted, but it's definitely related to your emotions. Close your eyes and rest. Your mother should be on her way."
Zhai Da felt a sharp pain in his head. He remembered that he was on a blind date...
Later, they had a quarrel because they failed to reach an agreement on the installment payment of the "300,000 yuan betrothal gift".
It's not that he doesn't know what's good for him. After all, he is just a man in his thirties who has been working as an advertiser for ten years but is still a slave.
I have been careful not to touch the ox cart, cowshed, or calf, but the normalized 996 work schedule and the super-evolved 007, my liver is yellower than my face, but I still can't create a future.
Where did the money go?
Mr. Zi Ren said that distribution should be based on work. Didn’t they receive any notice?
It is said that young people should endure hardships and accumulate experience. Now Zhai Da is in his thirties. How can experience and hardship be exchanged for happiness?
By voluntarily working overtime and singing a tearful song "Thank You" at the annual meeting, he sacrificed his face and liver, and finally touched the "so-called middle level" in his thirties, reaching the same level as the boss's newly graduated son.
As a result, he was fired after two months, and only then did he realize that he was specifically put in charge to take the blame.
Optimized by the company, suppressed by the boss, worked as a Didi driver and a food deliveryman, and now as I reach middle age, I feel more and more tired.
Even after winning 50 million in the lottery, he was not happy.
real.
The cold 40 million in the bank cannot soothe a heart that has been castrated by life. It can only give this heart the courage to lie down.
He just wanted to take his Vacheron Constantin and drive
Driving your own Maybach, you can live a simple and warm life.
Simplicity is the truth.
Only when he is alone occasionally, he still longs for his own love. He didn't have the conditions before, but after winning the lottery, he finally has some confidence. However, he doesn't want to find a hound who comes for 40 million, but wants to find a true lover.
The pain of youth requires a lifetime of adulthood to heal.
So he rushed back and forth to various blind date venues, pretending to be still broke. He was willing to accept the "300,000 yuan betrothal gift", but with only one condition: it must be paid in 100 installments, with only 3,000 yuan each time.
Only time can prove sincerity, and companionship is the most lasting confession.
Maybe it's a bit weird, but he always maintains an attitude of mutual respect and treats every blind date with courtesy. If the conversation goes too late, he will be very gentlemanly and book a five-star hotel for the other party.
That's what he told the police.
It was the next morning when I came out of the police station. I was sitting in the Maybach and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but as soon as it passed my lungs, I felt a sharp pain in my chest and my limbs became numb and unresponsive.
The hardships suffered in youth will eventually come back to haunt every middle-aged person.
He tried to call for help, but the Maybach's sound insulation was too good, and the windows were one-way perspective to protect the owner's privacy. His mind became more and more drowsy...
Until the end, in the blurred vision, I vaguely saw a young man riding an electric scooter, whizzing past with his beloved girl. Both of them were very poor... but very happy, which is really enviable.
“No parking allowed here!”
That was the last sound he heard, or maybe it was just an auditory hallucination.
When I opened my eyes again, I was already on this hospital bed.
It's not unusual in a hospital, but how could such a shabby hospital be found in Shanghai? Urata?
Zhai Da stared blankly at his hand... The side of his middle finger, covered in calluses from long periods of writing, and his nails, cut to an inhumane length due to regulations...
There is no doubt that these are a pair of hands belonging to students.
Combined with what I heard on the radio just now...so I'm reborn?
Preparing for the Olympics...2007 or 2008?
In an instant, all those memories that had long been swept into the trash by my weary soul, those echoes that were once profound but gradually covered by calluses, all surged out...
Dongyang County...Wool Spinning Middle School...2008...the year I took the college entrance exam?
He probably just stared at his hands like this for a long time.
Then, there is the joy that wells up from the depths of the soul.
Really back to...2008?
The most regrettable thing in life is "maybe"...and the only thing that is countless times more precious than "maybe" is "if".
Rebirth gave him countless opportunities to become a better person.
Damn! If I'd known I'd be reborn, I should have spent all my money first. At the time, I was just thinking about getting laid, so I spent five million dollars with a pinch of salt, and put the rest in the bank to earn interest...
The money is still there, but the person is gone! What a huge loss!
After the two nurses left, I was the only one in the ward with the old man reading the newspaper, and the other two beds were empty.
Countless thoughts raced through his mind for who knows how long. Zhai Da finally couldn't help himself and raised his arms to shout, "Awesome!"
The old man was so frightened that his hands trembled and the newspaper in his hand was torn into two pieces. He looked over with a frown.
Sure enough, games will ruin the younger generation.
Zhai Da now feels full of strength, this body...
It has to be young to be exciting!
He wants to be discharged from the hospital immediately and visit his familiar hometown.
Familiar streets, and...my mother who raised me, whom I haven't seen for many years.
Just as I thought of this, a middle-aged woman rushed in from the door, her eyes were red, and she was crying, obviously in a panic.
"Xiao Da...are you okay? You scared your mother to death!"
Looking at that familiar and missed face, Zhai Da's nose felt a little sour.
"Mom..I'm fine...I'm fine!"
I'm fine. These four words used to be a frequent visitor in the phone calls between me and my mother.
The child who secretly ate instant noodles when he was young is actually still secretly eating instant noodles when he grows up.
Unfortunately, ever since his mother passed away from breast cancer, he couldn't even find anyone to say "I'm fine". From then on, no one in this world cared whether he was fine or not.
This mother, who passed away before winning the lottery, never enjoyed a single day of happiness but was always worried about her son in the big city, is Zhai Da's greatest pain.
Zhai Da took the initiative to hug his mother, a gesture he rarely made before, and said with a smile:
"Mom, I'm fine. I just feel a little unwell. I don't know why the hospital is making such a fuss."
In fact, he didn't know why he woke up in the hospital. He didn't remember such an experience before, and he had rarely been to the hospital before he started working.
On the contrary, after I started working, the good physique that my mother had built up for me was eventually defeated by the whip of life. I went to the hospital every few days after work, and I couldn't recover even after winning the lottery.
"Oh, Mom, how long is left before the college entrance exam? I have to hurry up and try to get a high score to make you proud!"
Yu Xiaoli's lips trembled for a long time, and she said, "Son, I've heard everything about you. It's okay. Mom can get you a job in the factory. We'll work in the same unit from now on."
Zhai Da had a bad feeling: "How did I get into the factory... Uh... How did I get dizzy? I can't quite remember."
"You... fainted in the exam room, the last one..."
Zhai Da could only smile bitterly at this delicate moment...
What does this mean? Does this mean I'll never be able to go to college in my lifetime?
In his previous life, he often laughed at himself and worked hard to go to college. This life is more direct, and he has to study hard for three years in an electronics factory.
Then I heard the second half of Yu Xiaoli's sentence: "It doesn't matter if the second mock exam result is not good, there are still three months... Besides, the factory is always short of people!"
...
"Mom, can you please stop panting when you speak..."
And why do you keep talking about factories? Did you take half of the square root of two and put it on your body?
Withdrawn a sky-shattering opening.
Before Zhai Da could digest all these ups and downs, a string of strange words appeared in front of his eyes.
"Life equipment synthesis system is now online"
“Strong emotions, obsessions, and feelings linger on objects, giving them unique qualities.”
"This system can help the host discover and obtain [Equipment], enhance their abilities, and even synthesize more advanced and rare equipment."
"Host already has equipment: None"
As the text gradually changed, new content appeared before Zhai Da could understand it.
"Open novice reward: The host randomly selects one personal item and converts it into [Equipment]"
“Anchoring...Transforming...”
