Chapter 105 Boredom
"So, after you became rich, you forced people who didn't need to be paid wages, bought two houses for your employees, and then finally remembered me, your poor brother who has no sense of existence?"
Qin Mengmeng scratched her head, wondering what Qin Chuan was angry about.
Why is he doing this again?
"It looks like you don't need to invest? Isn't it said that making games is very expensive?"
Qin Chuan sneered: "I have now changed my job to become a professional live streamer and started to make a living by earning traffic. I have long stopped making games."
Qin Mengmeng: “…”
Does that mean that the slicer also wants a salary? Did you forget to pay him?
It's not that Qin Mengmeng is unwilling to pay Qin Chuan a salary, but the main reason is that Qin Chuan can't use either the good deeds or the gold, and she is short of cash. Even if the tea shop is doing a booming business, it can't make millions in turnover in a day.
"You really don't want to play games?!"
Qin Chuan said: "That still needs to be done, but I don't have any inspiration yet."
"But you're just going to spend the money you earned with your life so lavishly as a favor?! Is your life really that worthless?"
Qin Mengmeng said "oh" in her heart.
So that's what I was angry about.
She couldn't help scratching her head again and sighed in her heart.
"But how did this become the money I earned by risking my life? It's not that dangerous, really. I just have an ordinary job, ordinary live broadcasts, and ordinary friends. I naturally make this kind of money."
"The danger level of New Town High School is about the same as working as a construction site in Africa, or even lower. At least the kids at New Town High School are all good kids."
"You think this is too dangerous." Qin Mengmeng said seriously: "People who work on tower cranes fall to their deaths all year round, people who deliver food are hit and killed all year round, and people who fish drown every year, but those are just ordinary jobs."
Qin Chuan seemed to be somewhat convinced.
But I reacted quickly.
"That can't be the same thing." He pulled Qin Mengmeng to his bedroom. The computer screen on the desk was always on. He opened a spreadsheet and showed it to Qin Mengmeng.
"This is the number of people who have died in the live broadcast room of anchor Ersan in recent days."
Qin Mengmeng sat on the ergonomic chair that Qin Chuan used to sit on and was very comfortable. She swiped the mouse with a colorful light wheel, and when the wheel slid to the bottom, she saw the data that Qin Chuan had compiled.
"One hundred and thirty-two people!"
Qin Chuan was very excited, which could be seen from the amplitude of his movements. Qin Mengmeng had to carefully avoid his two arms waving above her head.
"Hmm...more than a hundred. If this happened in China, it would definitely be a shocking case. But if I remember correctly, this Ersan should be the anchor of the Triangle District. It's a no-man's land there, full of telecom fraud, organ trade, and human body sales. It's normal to have this number?"
"Don't worry, he can't enter the country."
Qin Chuan tried hard to stay calm.
"But if you have a conflict in the future, there will definitely be no laws and regulations to constrain you in the live broadcast room!"
Qin Mengmeng: “…”
That's the truth.
But she asked herself, was this a disadvantage for her?
Isn't that her advantage?
"I think you are a little too afraid of death." Qin Mengmeng said sincerely.
Qin Chuan turned around and looked at her in surprise: "I'm afraid of death? The app said that I can only live for another seven years. Did I say anything? You said I'm afraid of death?"
Qin Mengmeng apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Qin Chuan was holding his breath, but before he could get angry, he was blocked by her words.
"Really, I watched the anchor Ersan you sent me, and I really didn't consider him as my opponent." Qin Mengmeng said firmly: "As long as he is still a human being, he is definitely not a match for the mud truck Iai."
Qin Chuan's emotions quickly followed Qin Mengmeng's words: "That's true. He is still a human being overall. But, a dump truck? Where did you get a dump truck?"
Qin Mengmeng said: "I haven't bought it yet, but the forklift is on the way."
Qin Chuan touched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "It seems so."
It seemed like he was making a fuss out of nothing.
Qin Mengmeng is regarded as his elder sister who has been weak since childhood, calls her younger brother to kill the cockroaches at night and has a history of suicide. She is facing a serial killer who has no humanity, has killed 132 people in a row, and has raised ghosts to upgrade.
We should be careful and vigilant.
But if his sister drove a dump truck and a bulldozer and had a small construction team of four or five lackeys, this would be a show of an organized non-criminal gang righteously killing a lone wolf.
Qin Chuan pulled himself out of his worries and watched from the sidelines, feeling that he was making a big deal out of nothing.
"But where's your car?! Where's your dump truck?"
Qin Chuan pulled out a chair, pushed Qin Mengmeng up, sat down himself, and after a few operations, pulled out a picture.
A steel monster with silver and blue colors intertwined, shining with industrial beauty.
Peterbilt 389.
Qin Mengmeng recognized it at the first sight.
This vehicle is also known as the Optimus Prime Truck and is the prototype of Optimus Prime.
"Drive Optimus Prime to create people." Qin Mengmeng felt a toothache: "It's a good idea, but forget it, it won't be approved."
Moreover, this car costs four million, which is more expensive than all their family properties put together.
The Dongfeng small truck that Qin Dashan currently drives only costs 200,000 yuan, but it can crush people into pieces when it encounters a threat.
So just like Qin Mengmeng has always said, killing is really not difficult. That anchor Er San has fallen to the point of relying on such means to please the audience. It can only be said that he has run out of options and has no way out.
Qin Mengmeng patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said, "If you need funds to make games next time, you can come to me."
Qin Chuan asked: "Then do you want a share of the profits?"
Qin Mengmeng looked at him like a fool: "Of course I want it."
Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Anyway, I'm busy with your live streaming now. We can talk about the game later. Anyway, no matter how much money I make, I only spend 3,000 a month. My current savings are enough for me to lie down for several years."
Qin Mengmeng smiled: "Don't you have anything to pursue? You just want to lie down."
Qin Chuan said: "Then I would like to overthrow Tencent and Tencent and become the leader of the gaming industry, but the problem is that it's just daydreaming and can't be taken seriously."
Qin Chuan sighed and said, "Are you really not going to consider Optimus Prime? Although the price is a bit expensive, this is Optimus Prime!"
Qin Mengmeng was very calm: "Don't consider it."
The domestic Dongfeng cars for hauling goods are much cheaper and have convenient after-sales maintenance. This car was purely pushed to a high price of four million by the movie premium and customs taxes. It is essentially a luxury product, no different from buying a Hermes bag for several million.
"That's fine." Qin Chuan said, "I have nothing to talk about with people who can't appreciate Optimus Prime."
Qin Mengmeng rolled her eyes.
She thought about it, then hesitated and said, "Did Mom tell you what you wanted when we were chatting? Clothes, shoes? Bags? Jewelry?"
Qin Chuan said: "No, she has money in her hands, and she buys whatever she wants immediately. Why would she need you to buy it for her?"
Qin Mengmeng scratched her head.
When you become rich, you should give gifts to your family.
"Then we each contribute some money to make her a gold bracelet?"
Qin Chuan sat still and said, "She had already been beaten on her birthday last year."
"I don't want this, I don't want that, let's just go out and eat." Qin Mengmeng spread her hands: "But there are only a few restaurants in Xincheng, I'm tired of eating there."
Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Mom wants to know if you want to start a family after you settle down..."
Qin Mengmeng sighed.
About marriage, family and children.
She had actually discussed this issue with her parents a long time ago.
"No," she said. "It's hard to say how long I can live."
Qin Chuan: "...You just swore that live streaming was not dangerous at all, but now you're changing your words, right?"
Qin Mengmeng said: "The skill of using language according to changing situations and circumstances is a skill that a person who goes deep into society must master."
Qin Chuan lay back in his chair and said, "That would be very boring."
“After graduation, it only takes two years for a person to have a clear idea of his or her life trajectory. You can see the city where you will settle down, how you will develop in your industry, and where you will end up. You can see the future at a glance.”
Qin Mengmeng said: "Yes."
"Life like this, if there is no intervention of marriage and offspring, will continue to repeat itself day after day, year after year, with only time and age changing." Qin Chuan sighed, "It would be quite boring."
Qin Mengmeng said: "Life is boring."
Then she thought again: "Do you want to get married?"
Qin Chuan: “…”
"Modern society is not a feudal society. No one will interfere with you if you want to do something as long as it is not illegal. If you want to get married, you and your girlfriend only need to agree. My parents and I will not have any objections."
Qin Chuan: "...No, I'm just sighing that I don't have a girlfriend."
Qin Mengmeng said: "Okay, then do you want to find a girlfriend?"
Qin Chuan rubbed his brows painfully: "No, I'm living a good life now. I just suddenly figured out why so many people need love, marriage and offspring."
"Because after I graduated, got a job, and was able to support myself and my parents, life became really boring."
Qin Chuan said: "Before I graduated, I thought I would like to play games all the time, but I got bored of AAA games after playing them for less than a thousand hours."
"Electronic impotence."
"I now have almost all the time to do whatever I want." Qin Chuan looked confused: "I don't even have to worry about financial problems."
There are four people in their family, everyone has a job, everyone is in good health, and everyone is making money.
Although the money is not much, it is enough to spend.
Now Qin Mengmeng seems to have made a fortune, so he doesn't have to worry about his parents' problems anymore. With his savings alone, it is no problem to cover his monthly net consumption of less than three thousand yuan, and to support him until he dies of old age in seven years.
Time freedom, financial freedom.
When this freedom fell into his hands, a huge sense of panic gripped his heart.
It's like a person walking in an endless desert. You know that no matter which direction you go, you can't get out of the desert. You will stay in the desert all your life until you die of thirst.
But you don’t dare to stay where you are.
At this time, which direction to go becomes a huge problem.
No matter which direction you go, you will end up as a corpse, but maybe one of these directions will make you die faster? Or happier? Let you die without regrets?
Qin Mengmeng sighed: "This is why people need to work."
Human beings are actually very strong, but also very fragile.
Humans can survive without food for seven days, but when everything is satisfied, they will choose to self-destruct simply out of boredom.
This is why Qin Mengmeng sometimes envies those who value money very much and will do anything to make money, even if it means doing something ugly.
They know what they want and feel they will get it.
Although most of the time it's just a feeling, but this kind of person has such a bond in his heart and it's not easy for him to commit suicide.
"You make good games." Qin Mengmeng said, "I played the ghost marriage game you made before. Although the graphics look a bit crude, the plot is good and scary. I died several times."
“The only thing that I’m not happy about is that I can’t just recharge and have to watch an ad to revive.”
Qin Mengmeng criticized it and asked, "So why don't you continue to make games when you are bored?"
Just like she would go to the construction site when she was bored.
Qin Chuan said: "Because I am slicing you..."
Qin Mengmeng: "Oh... sorry, I almost forgot."
She was silent for a while, then said incredulously: "Could it be that the slices I showed during the live broadcast were so boring that you felt this way?"
Qin Chuan: "That's not the case."
He said, "It's just that I was thinking, I gave my mother a gold bracelet for her birthday last year, I can't give her another one this year, and then I think I still have to live for seven years, I want to give her seven different gifts."
He said deeply: "I am depressed."
Qin Mengmeng: “…”
Damn you.
"Otherwise, you should try to find someone online who is willing to have an online relationship with you."
Qin Chuan said: "So what should we give this year?"
Qin Mengmeng thought for a long time and said calmly: "Gold necklace."
She went on: "Next year I'll give you gold earrings, the year after I'll give you a gold hairpin, and there will also be a gold ring and a gold armlet... Anyway, after seven years, when you die, you won't have to worry about this anymore."
Qin Chuan complained: "It's just the same old stuff in a new bottle."
Qin Mengmeng said: "That's enough, what else can I give?"
Qin Dashan does like trucks, but he has already bought the truck himself and takes good care of it. He cleans it himself every day and doesn't ask others to do it for him. And he has no plans to fall in love with someone else at the moment.
Meng Meili likes gold and has saved up a lot of it. She sold some of it when Qin Mengmeng was in the ICU, and she slowly bought it back later.
Qin Mengmeng sometimes really likes her parents' self-sufficient attitude towards life.
But sometimes I have to say that it is very difficult to please such people, just like you cannot show filial piety to your parents by cooking a table full of their favorite dishes, because all they buy when they go shopping for groceries are their favorite dishes.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Qin Chuan said: "Anyway, you haven't been running around outside recently, and you have been staying in the new city. Mom and Dad are very happy."
Although it seems that the new city is no less dangerous than outside.
"By the way, mom saw a video of you earlier and sent it to me. I said you were acting in a skit, and it was all cosplay. You're an actor, so don't give yourself away."
Qin Mengmeng nodded solemnly: "Got it."
As for what is cosplay, actors, skits and the like, people like Meng Meili and Qin Dashan’s generation don’t care at all.
Their generation lives in an era of rapid change. Every day when they open their eyes, they see new things. They have long been accustomed to being left behind by the times.
Anyway, it’s something for young people, it can make money and support themselves.
That's no problem.
Although Xincheng is short of resources and extremely poor, the poorer the place, the more people tend to seek change. As long as Qin Chuan and Qin Mengmeng can make money to support themselves and do not commit crimes, Qin Dashan and Meng Meili basically do not express their opinions.
all in all.
After Qin Mengmeng became rich, she collected the settlement money, paid out salaries, and bought dormitories for her employees, but she did not give a penny to her family for the time being.
It's not that she is heartless, she just asked around and found that there is no place where money is needed.
Having money but not being able to spend it is really a very distressing thing.
Qin Mengmeng went to the Tiandi Station to visit Old Man Ma again and asked him if he knew some poor but motivated students, trying to give some money to help them.
Old Man Ma said, "These days, the poor but ambitious students you mentioned who were forced to drop out of school because of lack of money have long been caught by the state. Do you think the Hope Project and the scholarships are fake? Can they still help you earn some merit?"
Qin Mengmeng let out a long sigh.
After listening to her confession of her troubles, Old Man Ma sneered and said, "You don't know how to spend your money. What a moral character!"
"You won't buy a mansion or a luxury car, then hold a class reunion to slap the faces of those who looked down on you when you were in school."
Qin Mengmeng: "So vulgar."
"Besides, no one dared to look down on me when I was in school."
Old Man Ma rolled his eyes and said, "What's wrong with being vulgar? Everyone likes to watch vulgar things."
"Like this." Old Man Ma commanded, "If you have nothing to do, go help me catch a ghost later."
Qin Mengmeng was very shocked: "What? Ghost? Where did the ghost come from!"
Old Man Ma looked at her in surprise: "It's in the hospital next door. You... No, you're not afraid of ghosts."
Qin Mengmeng's pupils trembled: "Now?"
daytime?
Old Man Ma said, "It's hard to get into the hospital at night because of the curfew. Although it's daytime now, it's easier to get things done if you go in."
