Chapter 4 Payment Success
As a result, when I looked up, I saw the domineering words "Defy the will of heaven and change your fate" hanging on the door plaque, and the big words "Closed for rest" were also hung at the door.
“.”
Shi Changqing: God wants to kill me!
Okay, let’s go home.
Just as she was about to turn around, a middle-aged man in a floral shirt, sunglasses, and a cigarette in his mouth brushed past her and walked towards the shop door behind her.
“Crack—”
Shi Changqing turned around and saw the door was open.
The moment the man walked into the store, the lights inside came on.
Seeing this, Shi Changqing moved and followed him into the store.
This time, with experience behind her, she got straight to the point: "Can someone with level O mental power enter the training cabin?"
The man took off his sunglasses, looked her up and down, and said firmly: "No."
Having obtained the same result, Shi Changqing did not linger any longer.
It seemed that she had to find another way, and suddenly she felt that the small woods before were nice.
I came home with an empty stomach.
There was still a bag of nutrient solution on the table. Shi Changqing wanted to pick up one to fill his stomach, but when he heard a cough coming from the other room, he withdrew his hand.
Although I remember that there was rarely a shortage of nutrient solution at home, there were times when we had no nutrient solution to drink.
When he was ten years old, the original body and Shi Xinyu had not eaten for a day and a night, and Shi Yunsheng and Ye Weilan had not returned home for a day and a night.
After that incident, the family never ran out of nutrient solution. The fact that there was still one bag of nutrient solution left today was an invisible reminder to her of the family's financial crisis.
On the second day after arriving, Shi Changqing felt a little headache about this family that had started off in a state of complete collapse.
The original body was at the age when he was growing up. At night, Shi Changqing was too hungry to sleep, so he drank a bottle of healing nutrient solution. His stomach instantly felt warm. Five minutes later, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Shi Changqing woke up on time and just saw Ye Weilan coming back from outside with a sick body, holding two bags of nutrient solution and putting them into the basket.
"Mom, where are you going?"
"work."
“.”
She forgot that although Ye Weilan was in poor health, she also had a job.
Otherwise, if Shi Yunsheng were the only one to support the family, the family would really fall apart.
Shi Changqing glanced at the basket on the table. There were two more pieces of nutrient solution in the bag from yesterday.
She sighed.
Shi Changqing originally wanted to inherit the original body's will, be a lazy guy, and not care about anything. Since he was expelled from school anyway, he decided to concentrate on improving his physical fitness.
The imagination was beautiful, but reality dealt her a heavy blow.
She almost forgot that she was in a broken family with a sick mother, a gambling father, and a younger brother who was in school.
The most urgent task now is to solve the problem of food and clothing.
The dream of reaching the pinnacle of martial arts should be put on hold for now.
Sure enough, it is better to rely on oneself than on others. Shi Changqing decided to find a way out. He couldn't starve to death in such a fast-paced technological age.
Damn, in the end she still got the role of supporting this family.
Shi Changqing took a bag of nutrient solution and drank it as he walked out of the house.
Yesterday I went looking for a place to improve my physical fitness, and today I started looking for a part-time job.
There's a world of difference.
But she didn't expect that this job was also related to mental power.
Due to the existence of strange beasts, the professions of mecha repairers and mecha soldiers are the most popular in the entire interstellar world.
Shi Changqing thought that according to his career in his previous life, it must be related to the mecha output system.
She walked into an organization recruiting mecha soldiers. After she reported her mental power, the person in charge of registration frowned and looked at her.
"What's the point of O-level mental power joining in the fun? You can't even drive a mecha. Go away, get out of the way. Don't block the way."
Shi Changqing had a blank expression on his face and boasted, "I can kill alien beasts without a mecha."
Although she has never encountered any strange beasts, let alone fought with them, this does not prevent her from packaging herself.
The first element of an interview is not to show timidity.
The accompanying applicant heard this and laughed inexplicably: "Strange beast? With your flesh and blood, without the protection of a mecha, you still want to fight against a strange beast."
"Young people are frivolous and ignorant of the immensity of the world."
"At your age, you should go back to school and read more books. Don't act like you have never seen the world." Someone said.
The person in charge of registering for the interview waved his hand impatiently: "Even if you are capable, we don't employ child laborers. Go away, hurry up and leave."
“.”
This sentence blocked Shi Changqing's next move.
So she went into several stores that were recruiting mecha repairmen and mecha soldiers.
Even this waiter was not charged.
Without exception, everyone rejected her mental power.
If the mental power is too low, in case of a mental attack, the first person to be harmed will be the person with low mental power, and it will also affect others because no one is willing to take the risk of using a waste.
At this moment, Shi Changqing had a clear understanding of this interstellar era.
It is really difficult to survive in this world without mental strength.
Even her current age is a drawback.
The laws in this world are very comprehensive. Except for schools with proof of attendance, the law does not allow the employment of people under the age of eighteen.
It's really a case of dying before achieving success.
Shi Changqing sat on a bench on the street and began to doubt his life.
[Ding Dong, a balance has been credited to your account!]
A lovely mechanical electronic sound came from her light computer, attracting passers-by to look at her involuntarily.
Shi Changqing: “.”
She glanced around. Fortunately, the security was better now, otherwise she would have been afraid of encountering a robber due to the sudden sound.
Shi Changqing turned on his computer and checked his account balance. The original 550 star coins suddenly increased by two digits and became 10,550 star coins.
The transfer record also included a message:
[Sister Qing, thank you so much for saving us yesterday. This is the 'protection fee' my parents asked me to give to you.]
Shi Changqing looked through the transfer records and found that the recent transfers of several hundred star coins were almost all transferred from this account.
She recalled that this should be earned by the two children that her original body bravely rescued.
These more than ten thousand star coins should be able to last for a while.
There is always a way out.
While Shi Changqing was still sighing, a familiar advertisement popped up on the virtual electronic screen.
[Ten-Day Mental Strength Improvement Program! Original price: 59,999 Star Coins, Flash Sale Price: 9,999! Get an Instant 50,000 Star Coins Discount!]
Shi Changqing stared at the flashing advertisement for a long time, then hesitated and clicked the ×. She decided to first understand the reliability of the mental power enhancement.
We cannot waste this hard-earned protection fee.
The next second, the page jumps to the order page.
"Damn! They're doing this banditry again!"
Shi Changqing cursed for once and quickly sped back.
[Face verification successful.]
This reminder made her cover her face urgently.
However.
[Paying…]
[Payment successful, account balance: 551 Star Coins.]
The final result was that Shi Changqing watched helplessly as his account was debited.
“.”
Sooner or later I will replace this rogue optical computer.
