Demolition Earth

Chapter 78 Take a Walk
I tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, but I still couldn't fall asleep, probably because this new bed was still too soft, and I was not used to sleeping on it.I felt a little hungry, so I simply got up, got dressed, took my mobile phone and keys, thought for a while, and put on my sunglasses.

Walking out of the room, the neighbor next door was already asleep, but she...has always been particularly able to get used to the new environment. After subconsciously smiling, Zhao Changqi went downstairs and walked out.

"Good evening Mr. Zhao..." The assistant at the door saw him and greeted him immediately. Before she could say anything more, Zhao Changqi waved his hand, walked into the elevator, and pressed 3.

When the elevator descended, the quiet night was gradually mixed with noise.The noise was vague and muffled at first, and became clearer and louder as the elevator descended. When the elevator door opened, the sound was suddenly amplified. Clearly delivered to the ears.

Although he had been here several times, Zhao Changqi was still a little unaccustomed to it, and subconsciously looked around.

Everywhere you look, there are computers and people, flashing screens, and people who are engrossed behind them.It stands to reason that Zhao Changqi should not feel strange or strange about this kind of scene after seeing the Internet cafes around the university, but he felt something different here.

He himself can't tell what's different, maybe there are more people here, maybe it's a specially designed position that makes his view from this angle brighter, maybe those people are all paid, so I played it very seriously, maybe because I am Mr. Zhao now, I feel a bit condescending...

Perhaps it is the sum of all these factors, so that every time Zhao Changqi walks in, he will have an illusion, as if those people and the computer are one, as long as they start playing, they will continue forever, never get tired, forever.

Of course this is not the case. Du Yan has established a humanized management system for this super large Internet cafe. Everyone has a daily game time limit. The standard is 8 hours, that is to say, as long as you play enough games in a day Hours are fine, this time is flexible, there is no fixed commute time.

However, dozing off or deliberately wasting time is not allowed during these 8 hours.In fact, according to Zhao Changqi's current opinion, many people here are very active in "voluntarily working overtime". On average, they surf the Internet for more than [-] or [-] hours a day, and some of them do.

For most people, the computer configuration here is high, and almost any game can be played, and there is a simple canteen inside, and there are many snacks to buy. This environment does not need to spend money, and even a salary ... For many game fans, this place can simply be called heaven.

There is a small canteen in a corner of this Internet cafe, which provides some light meals 24 hours a day, and the menu changes every day. The only things you can order now are burgers or sandwiches, fast food with French fries and Coke.

Zhao Changqi took his company ID card, swiped a hamburger, sat aside and ate it.

The third floor is the floor with the most people in the whole building. The main type of game played here is strategy battle. Zhao Changqi is eating while watching the live broadcast of the aliens on the Internet on the TV. The picture in the live broadcast is this floor. Lou, when the camera was switched in the middle, Zhao Changqi could still see himself eating in the live broadcast.

After he finished eating, he turned off the live broadcast, and walked around the whole building a few times, just like he had been doing for the past few days, and finally he went back to the elevator, and arrived at The plaza downstairs.

He came here for dinner today. At that time, it is said that more than 1000 old men and women came here, dancing a super-large-scale collective square dance. Many reporters also came, took photos, and asked Du Yeon took the interview.

But now, the dancing crowd has left, leaving only the crowd sitting quietly behind the computer monitors in the glass curtain walls on the first floor, continuing another form of carnival.

In the square, there were still some scattered crowds, many of whom came to see this so-called "interterrestrial company".Although it was dark night and they couldn't be seen clearly, Zhao Changqi knew what kind of existence these people were based on previous experience.

Zhao Changqi walked out of the door and looked casually in the square.

The few people closest to him immediately surrounded him subconsciously. Some even took out cigarettes and lighters from their pockets and asked him, "He's here for the interview too? Were you eliminated?" Zhao Changqi didn't wear the uniform of an alien. The interview room is near this exit, so it's normal for them to think so.

Zhao Changqi didn't answer, but asked instead: "Why don't you leave? It's useless to wait here. You can sign up during the day." At the same time, he waved his hand, rejected the cigarettes handed over, and said, "I won't."

"We just want to ask, what are the exams in the interview, what games are you playing..." The person who was talking to Zhao Changqi was a middle-aged and elderly man who looked about 50 or [-] years old. When he smiled, the surroundings of his face were already very clear. , "We can also go to Internet cafes to learn."

"That's right, so, let's invite you to have a meal and a barbecue," a man standing around the same age as the person who spoke just now said again, and he sprayed a mouth full of choking smoke as he spoke, "You Just tell us, what are the exams and how to pass them. We have watched the interview twice, but we really don’t know how to play any games.”

To Zhao Changqi’s surprise, at first he thought that the most people who came to the Internet cafe for interviews would be the nearby college students. This was true at first, but later when someone discovered that some middle-aged and elderly people could also enter, the situation changed. Every day, there are many old men and women listening to the news, and even some with disabilities... It seems that everyone regards this place as a workplace that does not require high skills, but pays well and is easy. Every day In the interview queue, [-] to [-] percent of them are middle-aged and elderly people. Looking at their resumes, most of them have been working for a long time, or have returned to work after failing in some small businesses, and some of them originally stayed at home. In a semi-retired state, during the interview, what they mentioned the most was that they were hardworking and obedient.

But it's a pity that the last thing you need to play games is obedience and hard work. According to Du Yan's standards, the ones who play games during the interview are the most devoted and happy, and are also the easiest to be admitted.

Although these old people are very serious about the computer screen and try hard to learn, many of them don't even know the basic operation of the mouse and keyboard, let alone some basic understanding that many games require, so their performance is basically horrible.

But as they said, the biggest advantage they have is that they can bear hardships and stand hard work, so every day some people "endure hardship" downstairs, and many people also try to learn some "interview skills" from some left interviewers. There are indeed some enthusiastic people who have taught it, but it has almost no effect.

However, it seems that as long as there are more people who try, there will always be lucky ones. On the edge of the glass curtain wall on the first floor, there is a row of several old people sitting together, wearing alien uniforms, playing games inside.

The glass is visible from inside and outside, and there are more than a dozen old men around outside, watching the people inside playing, as if they want to learn something from it.The old man inside is playing seriously, and the people outside are also watching seriously... Actually, there is no need to crowd here. If they know how to live broadcast, they can go back and watch it. On the Internet, everyone's computer interface in the Inner Stars can be found in Seen in the live interface.

But since they are surrounded here, it means that they don't understand, maybe they understand, but they don't have this condition.

Some people who stay in this square have very poor financial conditions. Many of them have no children, and they don’t even have a basic smartphone. They may not have Internet access or computers at home.

There are many people who are just in the countryside, and when they heard rumors that anyone can make money here, they foolishly bought a train ticket and came here. After arriving, they found that this was not entirely a rumor. Some people, even An old man in a village went in and lived a wonderful life of playing computer games every day, having food, drink, a place to sleep, and money.

The security department of the inner star has called the police to dismiss several groups of people, but there seems to be an endless stream of latecomers, because everyone has heard that Du Yan told everyone in the public media that her short-term goal is to fill up this building .But now, at night, as long as you look up, you will know that this 24-story office building is only a third brighter at night, which means that opportunities will always exist.

The crowd staying in the square has begun to solidify. Many people stay in the public area on the first floor for a long time, occupying toilets and corridors and other spaces, and some even bring their bedding to sleep on the spot.Zhao Changqi knew that Du Yan had already paid attention to this problem and was preparing to strengthen access control management.

After turning around on the first floor, Zhao Changqi went back along the way he came.Recently, especially since the expansion of the inner space, more and more things began to think in his mind. He felt that he seemed to faintly think of a certain key point, but he always felt that something was missing, so every time When it was hard to fall asleep at night, he would come down and walk around alone. Subconsciously, he felt that this would help his thinking.

Back in the room, it was still dark under Du Yan's door, and she hadn't woken up yet.Zhao Changqi lost his sleepiness, so he simply made himself a cup of coffee, ready to continue thinking like this, just like he used to think about Du Yan all night, but now, also for "Du Yan", he may need more sleepless nights night of.

When he took the first sip of the hot coffee, the phone vibrated slightly. Zhao Changqi picked it up to take a look, put down the coffee, and left again.
