Chapter 7 Road Scar
After paying the money, Shi Changqing came out with a double-digit balance of star coins in his pocket and began to think about how to make money.
She tried to go back to the companies that had rejected her before. Although her mental strength was sufficient, her age was not enough. She would not be accepted unless she had enrollment information proving that she was working part-time.
Does she have to go back to school?
It’s not impossible, but...how can I pay tuition without money?
Now we are in a dead loop.
If you want to work, you need a certificate from school.
If you want to go to school, you have to work to earn money for tuition.
This is a vicious cycle.
Shi Changqing didn't believe that there was no place for her on this small planet, not even a black shop?
An hour later.
Not really.
——
Shi Changqing returned to the civilian area and walked in the dirty alleys, with colorful graffiti and advertisements on the walls on both sides.
Sure enough, I found a piece of information that caught my eye among the many filthy calligraphy and paintings.
[All-Star Boxing Stage, come if you dare! Generous rewards await you!]
Facts have proved that it’s not that there are no black shops, but that the channels are wrong.
How dare the glamorous city center linger on the edge of illegality?
But it’s different in poor areas. How can people get enough food and clothing without taking shortcuts?
Shi Changqing looked at the small words under the big words, which were the contact information.
He immediately opened the light brain and added the contact information above. A conspicuous nickname "The Boy Who Spends Money" came into view, and Shi Changqing decisively sent a friend message.
【Hello, I have the courage, address. 】
The other party passed quickly.
The Wealth-Giving Boy: [Which planet are you on?]
Good fortune comes: [Southern Star.]
It took three minutes for the other party to reply: [Are you free now?]
Shi Changqing glanced at the sky and saw that it was noon.
Good luck: [Free.]
The Wealth-Giving Boy: [444 White Tiger Street, code: I want to get rich.]
“…”
After getting the address, Shi Changqing left the alley and immediately headed towards Baihu Street as the other party mentioned.
“Boom boom—”
Before seeing its shape, I heard its sound first, and the roar of the locomotive suddenly rose in front.
Then a young man with a will-o'-the-wisp came into view.
The Ghost Fire motorcycle suddenly stopped five meters away.
"Shi Changqing?"
A strange voice came into his ears. Shi Changqing looked over and saw the man driving a will-o'-the-wisp. He had delicate features, wore a white shirt, had slightly curly yellow hair, and wore an eye-catching blue earring on his right ear.
At this moment, he was looking at her in astonishment.
Shi Changqing was stunned for a while by the other person's smart outfit. Why were there so many yellow-haired people around her?
Shi Changqing looked at the man's face and searched for information about him in his mind.
Road and.
She is the same age as the original body and lives next door to her.
There was a scar on his right cheekbone, so everyone gave him the nickname "Road Scar."
However, this scar was also a fake one he had secretly made himself, and no one knew this secret except her.
During the six months that the original person was expelled from school, the two of them cooperated very well and collected a lot of protection fees.
Shi Changqing walked up and glanced at the modified motorcycle inconspicuously.
In my memory, Lu Daoba was a master at modification. He picked up a lot of discarded things from scrap yards and modified them. This car was one of his masterpieces.
Her tone was natural and casual: "Aren't you at school at this time?"
Lu Yu did not answer. Instead, he stopped the car, frowned, touched his chin, walked around Shi Changqing, and looked him up and down.
"Hiss, I haven't seen you for a few days. What happened to you?"
Shi Changqing glanced at him sideways, and when he got closer he saw that the earring he was wearing was actually an ear clip.
I remember now.
Lu Yu once told his original self that he was afraid of the pain of getting his ears pierced, so he got ear clips instead.
With their circumstances, they don't have the opportunity to go to the city and spend money to get painless ear piercings.
As for the scar on his cheek, it really doesn't look fake.
This guy is quite versatile in his craft.
"Just fart if you want to." Shi Changqing rolled his eyes.
Lu Yu nodded: "Yeah, it tastes just right, it tastes just right."
"I couldn't find you these past few days, and you didn't reply to my messages. I thought you had secretly gotten stronger."
"You really aren't going to school?"
He followed behind me and kept chattering.
"By the way, I have a buddy who works at another school. He told me there's no assessment there. What's the job title called?"
Lu Yu opened his computer, flipped through the pages for a long time, then lowered his head and read out, "Nantian Mecha Vocational and Technical College."
He looked up at the back of Shi Changqing's head and said, "I heard there are mechas to drive there, and you're guaranteed a job after graduation. It's just that this school is private, so the tuition is a bit expensive, 30,000 star coins."
Shi Changqing stopped and opened his eyes wide: "How much?"
"Thirty, thirty thousand..."
"If I had 30,000 yuan, would I still need to go to this school?"
"True, but they provide food and lodging, and even cover sickness, so it's a good deal when you factor it in."
Speaking of free food and accommodation, Shi Changqing was moved. Thinking about it, it also seemed like a good idea since it also provided job assignment.
"Okay, I understand."
Lu Yu put his arm around her shoulders, pointed his thumb towards himself, and smiled smugly: "Don't say I don't care about you."
"If you could lend me thirty thousand dollars, that would be great for my own good."
Shi Changqing didn't bother to pay attention to him and turned to walk away. Lu Yu almost missed her shoulder.
"That's easy. I'll go participate in the competition and get a scholarship..."
"Scholarship? You?"
As far as I remember, Lu Yu was also a poor student, and he could only barely pass the physical test.
Shi Changqing was suspicious: "Are you secretly getting stronger without telling me?"
"Ahem, how come?"
Lu Yu followed behind, and Shi Changqing was thinking about taking a few more detours and then going to Baihu Street after parting with him.
But then he heard Lu Yu say again: "I have to go. I won't talk to you for now. We can talk next time."
He raised his hand to check the time, waved, turned around, got in the car, and drove away with the roaring ghost fire.
Only after watching the road disappear from his sight did Shi Changqing start walking towards his destination.
No. 444, Baihu Street.
There was a middle-aged man sitting in front of a small shop in a civilian area. The first thing I noticed was his right hand and left foot, both of which were equipped with mechanical arms and legs.
Even the left eye is a mechanical prosthetic eye.
It's hard to doubt whether this is a simulated human.
"I want to be rich."
Shi Changqing hesitated for a moment and spoke to the middle-aged man expressionlessly.
The man looked up at Shi Changqing, glanced at him inconspicuously, then stood up and walked into the store as usual. Seeing this, Shi Changqing followed closely behind him.
I didn't expect that this shabby little building had such a hidden gem inside.
Behind the shelves there is a cellar leading to the underground.
Before entering the cellar, the man gave Shi Changqing a mask and waited for her to put it on before taking her down.
After walking up two long flights of stairs in the dark, I finally saw a ray of light, accompanied by a chaotic and noisy sound coming from below, getting closer and closer.
For a moment, Shi Changqing seemed to have returned to her previous life, where she used to be active in the underground martial arts arena, sweeping across thousands of enemies.
After walking up the last long flight of stairs, you can see all kinds of men and women, wearing strange clothes, all with strong bodies. Shi Changqing, a thin man, suddenly appeared in the public field of vision and attracted a lot of people's attention.
