Chapter 3: First Day of Rebirth
In the afternoon, in the suburbs of S City, Su An spent 6,000 to rent a detached villa with a yard.
It is called a villa, but it is actually a self-built house in the countryside. The owner runs it as a B&B. The whole house is well decorated, but now is the off-season for tourism, so it is difficult to rent the house and it is empty most of the time in a month.
After a little negotiation, Su An lowered the price and rented the place for two months.
It's a bit pricey, but it's fully furnished and ready for you to move in. Everything is included in the homestay, so you don't need to buy anything extra when you move.
This place is not particularly remote. It is about ten minutes away from the subway and one hour away from the city center subway. Takeout and express delivery are all normal. Su An will stock up some supplies, which saves a lot of trouble.
What excited Su An the most was that the police station was only 500 meters away, at the end of the street, which gave him a full sense of security.
The key is that this is not a densely populated area.
She paid for two months' rent, but in fact, it would not last two months. After a month, she probably would not be on Blue Star anymore.
Of course, if nothing had happened, rebirth would have been just a nightmare, and she would have been willing to accept a life where her savings were gone and she had to find a new job.
The extra month's rent should be considered as time for her to find a job after she has rested.
If you resign after taking annual leave, and you are not dragged into a survival game, it cannot be considered a window period for job hunting.
It doesn't affect your career.
In short, no matter what she plans, she can live well.
In the evening.
A wolala truck, carrying all the luggage from Su An's small room, was waiting downstairs, about to take Su An to her new home.
After the sub-landlord took the key away, Su An left without looking back.
She had no attachment to this small rental house.
She has lived in this rental house for two years. For her, it is just a place to stay where she can sleep and is not far from work.
She will not have a home here, and it seems that she will not have a home in the future.
As she left, she looked at the densely packed high-rise buildings and suddenly thought of a news headline.
That was the gossip she heard while waiting for the subway to go to work at the subway station after returning from her hometown.
Because most of the victims lived in the same community, she heard it once and remembered it unconsciously.
It seemed that more than half a month later, several high school students living in the same community met with misfortune at the side gate of the community on their way home from evening self-study.
A driver disappeared on the road, causing a chain reaction accident that resulted in seven deaths and eight injuries. Several high school students were crushed to death on the spot, and many of those who survived were left with lifelong disabilities.
Countless families were torn apart.
This reminded Su An of the surge in the number of traffic accidents in recent years, which was caused by drivers disappearing on the road.
There are many doubts in each case. The mainstream opinion is that it was due to stress that the driver committed suicide by jumping out of the car, hurting innocent people and taking revenge on society.
The economy is bad now, the unemployment rate is high, and the prevalence of 996,007 has led to excessive mental and physical stress among people and increased hostility.
Many people also collectively attacked the ride-hailing app Tuandi, claiming that it misused AI and used algorithms to force human workers to work, exploiting them as human batteries and driving them crazy.
…
Now that I think about it, some of the above factors may be involved, but whether he jumped out of the car voluntarily or disappeared mysteriously remains to be confirmed.
If everything Su An experienced before his rebirth was real.
She could make a wild guess.
Some of the missing persons were players who were captured by the system and participated in the internal testing of the survival game. It was just that the capture was unfortunate, which caused many accidents.
I remember that there was an internal testing area in the game. Before everyone started the game, the system randomly captured a group of players to play the game and test the game performance.
When I entered the game, there were players claiming to be beta testers in the public chat screen, who posted some game level information, but you had to figure out whether some of it was true or false.
The setting sun shines through the glass window of the steadily moving truck onto the girl's face, and the mottled sunlight falls on the girl's long eyelashes.
Her expression was serious, with an indescribable heaviness.
Along the way, Su An repeatedly sorted out his memories of rebirth.
As a small town test-taker who climbed up from the bottom, a fighter among the test-takers.
Su An is summing up his experience at this moment.
She kept in mind to rest, both physically and mentally, so that she would have enough lying points after entering the game to add points to her mental limit, consume mental points, attach spirits to the dolls, and release skills.
In order to avoid overdrawing her body and spirit and ending up in a miserable situation where she can't use any skills, she will try to be as calm and relaxed as possible for the next month.
In his previous life, the survival environment in the game was harsh. There was no sufficient food and safe shelter. Su An had to rush for three meals a day. He could not recover his body and spirit, and fell into a vicious cycle.
We must never repeat the same mistakes in this life.
Keeping this in mind, Su An did not hesitate to spend the money. She added some money and asked the Huolala driver to help her move the things, so as to avoid her weak body becoming weaker due to doing heavy work after staying up late every day.
After the Wulala driver left, the supermarket order that Su An ordered while in the car was delivered within half a day, and the courier delivered the goods to her door.
She slowly placed the goods.
Su An didn't buy a lot of things, just some daily necessities, new toothbrushes, towels, bath towels, and daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, vegetables and eggs.
There is a chain supermarket 2km away from where she rents. It supports online ordering and door-to-door delivery, which is very convenient.
Then the delivery guy arrived with the luxurious takeaway.
This is her dinner tonight.
In order not to waste the delivery fee, she ordered a lot of food.
Abalone and sea cucumber rice, clay pot pepper pork tripe and chicken soup, blanched okra, spicy clams, braised pig's trotters with abalone sauce, and duck feet with abalone sauce.
How can it not be considered healthy? It’s all nutritious meat.
The full table made Su An's pale and shriveled face look much rosier.
Su An ate slowly in the restaurant on the first floor, alone with one table full of food.
It doesn’t matter if she can’t finish the food, just put it in the refrigerator and heat it up for breakfast tomorrow. She will not waste food.
Save where you can and spend where you can.
Even though she decided to spend money to take care of herself, Su An still couldn't change some of her little habits, but it was harmless.
The restaurant has a full floor-to-ceiling window, and you can see the yard outside the window.
The yard is well-tended, has a beautiful fruit tree, and is cool and refreshing on summer nights.
It is a sunny day today. The moon and stars at night are very bright, making people feel refreshed.
All of this is much better than that cramped shared rental house.
Su An put his phone on the phone holder, picked a variety show to watch at random, and ate slowly.
There are many messages from colleagues, superiors and friends on her phone, but she is too lazy to reply and doesn't want to deal with them.
This month, she doesn't want to worry about any trivial matters.
Su An ate her meal, watched variety shows from time to time, and looked at the stars outside the window from time to time.
The bear doll Xiaomo sat on a chair opposite Su An. Because he was too short, only his two bear ears were visible.
After dinner.
She put the remaining food in the refrigerator, held the teddy bear with her phone, turned on the TV, and played the variety show she hadn't finished watching.
She leaned comfortably on the sofa and opened the shopping app on her mobile phone.
Buy all the things you have always wanted but can’t afford.
Otherwise, after entering the game, your savings will just become numbers and be wasted, which is so frustrating.
Multi-function cooker, buy it.
Buy these bear-shaped plates and bowls.
Spatula, spoon, chopsticks, buy.
Su An placed orders for storage racks, detergents, shampoos, and shower gels, as long as she thought they were useful.
The variety show is over.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
Su An did not clean up the things piled up in the living room due to moving. She had already spent a lot of energy on finding a house and moving today, so she planned to clean up slowly tomorrow.
She took the clean sheets and quilt to the bedroom on the first floor and put on new sheets and quilt covers.
After a quick wash in the bathroom, Su An went to bed early, hugging the teddy bear.
The first day after rebirth ends.
