Money, you can buy everything you need ... this sentence, Zhou Ming finally understood its meaning.

Wealth, work, status, companionship, longevity ... everything can be bought with money.

The job exchange information board in front of me, even senior government positions such as mayor and police chief of this city, can be purchased with money, which proves that this world, money = omnipotence.

Without money, you ca n’t do anything, you ca n’t buy a job, you ca n’t find an object, you do n’t have any social status, you can only do the lowest level of garbage, and you are always on the verge of being cleaned.

But saying that Zhou Ming doesn't have a piece of money in his hand, isn't there some low-priced positions on the career information panel, such as the workers of Dalin Agricultural Company in Baowan Town, for this position, 1 dollar or 70,000 credit points But you can buy it. He does n’t have so many credit points. Is n’t there just one money?

Zhou Ming shook his head. This money cannot be spent. It represents his qualification to stay in the 52 area. Once the only one money is lost, the account money balance is zero, and he has become a "zero returner". Then, waiting for him, It will be the tragic fate of being swept out of area 52.

"Here can be called paradise ... Yes, it can be called paradise, a paradise for the rich, a **** for the poor!"

Now Zhou Ming is a poor man, and the whole city is looking forward to his bankrupt poor man.

Fortunately, they got the first pot of gold coming to this world from the fat elders-a total of more than 8,000 credit points, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing in the short term.

As for the fat elders, will they call the police and seek justice from the police? After Zhou Ming calculated the financial account for the fat boss, they concluded that they should not call the police.

It costs money to find the police. The first is 500 credits / day of the police fee. The second is the cost of mobilizing the monitoring of the city and the cost of searching the database. The reporter must pay the money. How much, the police will have to divide by half ... So any case of economic loss of less than 10,000 credit points, it is better to find the police on their own.

In addition, Zhou Ming grabbed so many credit points from seven or eight people, not everyone grabbed too much. How to share the costs after the report is estimated to be a headache for the elders.

The most important thing is that the credit points on the fat elders were originally obtained through various extortion methods. In the police reporting system (the report does not cost money, the police ask for money), there are many cases left. Even if they do not look for the police, some police officers with tight hands will take the initiative to find them ...

Therefore, this is the reason why the crime rate in this city is so low, and Zhou Ming dares to eat black.

In the following month, Zhou Ming made some freelance attempts and prepared to use his craft or talent to serve a job with a considerable income.

The first is the best carving. He spent more than 1,000 credits, customized a set of alloy knife carving tools, and then bought 15 pieces of wood at a price of 80 credits per piece (probably for environmental protection reasons, Wood is very expensive), and then set up a stall on a pedestrian street in Yaoxing City with a large flow of people to show carving skills and sell handicrafts.

However, Zhou Ming was miscalculated. In three days, he did not sell a single sculpture in the face of pedestrians with a daily traffic of more than 10,000 ... Even when the show sculpture was awesome, there were many crowds watching, but after watching the performance Quickly disperse, no one bought.

Is the wood carving set too high?

After thinking about it, Zhou Ming lowered the selling price and reduced the price of a 500-point credit carving to a 300-point profit margin.

Among the crowds of passers-by, there were more people with expressions on their faces, especially a 15- or 6-year-old girl with a pigeon egg face who ran to Zhou Ming for a few days to watch him perform sculptures and watch those cute Delicate wood carving, the longing light in his eyes.

"Can you sculpt me one?" On this day, the girl with pigeon egg face gently passed the pink electronic card in her hand, and a small voice said to him.

"can!"

After the first business opened, Zhou Ming was overjoyed. After asking her what kind of wood carving she wanted, according to her request, Zhou Ming made an angel wood carving with wings. The exquisite and small wood carving, the holy and beautiful angel, The pigeon egg face girl was very happy. After receiving the wood carving, the expression of hesitation on the face, such as the haze of the sun, dispersed instantly.

With the opening of the pigeon egg face girl, the next two days, Zhou Ming sold two wood carvings in succession. The buyers were young girls, one of whom was also a classmate brought by the pigeon egg face girl.

But on the third day, when the pigeon egg-faced girl ran to Zhou Ming with red eyes, she handed over the wood carving in her hand and sobbed to ask for a return. Zhou Ming was surprised and asked, "It's a wood carving problem." So why do you want to return it? "

"Mom said that the 300 credit is my one-month lunch money at school. I spent the money and she wo n’t give me money for lunch anymore. I have n’t eaten lunch these days, but my mom even has dinner. Do n’t let me eat another bowl, my brother is sorry, I like this wood carving very much, but ... "

The pigeon face girl was crying and sad, and tears fell like raindrops.

"There is such a mother in the world?"

Zhou Ming can't believe it. This is only a toy equivalent to about 300 yuan. With the productivity and wages of this world, can't you even afford such a small toy?

But looking at the girl crying so sad, the stomach still makes a cooing sound from time to time, it is the age of the long body, do not eat at lunch, and do not allow dinner to eat, everything is due to a wood carving.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ming said to her: "Since there is no problem with the wood carving, I will not accept the return. However, I will refund you half of the credit points. The wood carving will be sold to you at a cost price. Is this possible?"

The girl's originally desperate mood instantly turned into a surprise, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" 150 credits, saving a little is almost enough.

What's more, her favorite woodcarving is still in her hands, which surprises her.

"Thank you brother, thank you brother!" After receiving the credit points that Zhou Ming transferred to her, the pigeon face girl bowed a few gratefully and turned back to pay tribute many times when she left.

Two more days passed. When the pigeon egg face girl followed her classmate and her classmate ’s mother, the three came over again, saying that when the woodcarving in her classmate ’s hand was about to refund half of the money, Zhou Ming was hurt by this world. Then, he asked the classmate ’s mother aloud, “How can you be so poor that you have to bargain even for a 300-point woodcarving? Is your vision bad, or is my woodcarving really worthless?”

The words of the classmate ’s mother almost defeated Zhou Ming: “It ’s just a piece of wood, you ca n’t eat it, you ca n’t use it, you waste money, a credit point is worthless, what is deceiving, what is it worth? I will return! "

"Brother is sorry, Xiaomin is my good friend. I told Xiaomin about it, and then her mother ..." The pigeon face girl cried again. She simply couldn't understand the values ​​of adults.

"Play slowly, I don't wait anymore!"

Putting the tools and wood carving back in the backpack, carrying it on his back, Zhou Ming left the place without looking back. Xiaomin ’s mother took his hand to let him go, and Zhou Ming shook his hand and pushed it away. Can jump on his feet and curse at him, not daring to get close again.

After changing all the streets, at a price of 50 credit points, after processing all the wood carvings at a loss, Zhou Ming, who found that the wood carvings were not easy to sell, chose the second way: street selling.

So I spent nearly a thousand credits, found someone to make a guitar with a good tone, and then wrote my electronic consumer card account on a playing card (which can be transferred), Zhou Ming sitting on a stone bench in a fountain square After rubbing and debugging two strings, he began to sing:

Write a letter tell me what the color of the sea is

What's the mood with you by night

...

Listen to the cry of the sea

Sighing who was hurt but not awake

It must not be me at least I'm calm

But tears do n’t even believe in tears

Listen to the cry of the sea

...

This "Listening to the Sea" Zhou Ming was very devoted to singing, completely immersed in the atmosphere of sad love songs, and the effect was also very significant. Perhaps it was that I had never listened to this highly infectious music, and the surrounding audience gradually increased When he got up, a song was sung, and the clap of applause sounded. There were several emotional listeners, and tears even shed in the corners of his eyes.

As for the reward amount ... 0.

Is it not touching enough or sensational enough?

A song "Sea and Sky" will be given to you again.

There are more listeners around and more applause, but what about credit points? 0, still 0.

Zhou Ming did not believe it, and sang "I Only Care About You", "Relentless Rain", "At least You" and other dozens of songs that he thought were very classic, and sang for more than an hour. There were hundreds of people in the audience in front of the audience. There were hundreds of people on the third floor and the third floor. After each song was sung, there was an extremely warm applause.

What about the rewards, how many people are using the electronic card to transfer money?

0, always 0.

Zhou Ming, who sang discouraged and did not sing, his heart hurt for the loss of music in this world; and those listeners who listened for more than an hour for free, did not know if their conscience hurt?

Until a man dressed as a policeman approached him, he took out an electronic consumer card from his pocket and patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, he sings very well. Come on, transfer it. It ’s 300 credits in total. Click. UU Reading Book www.uukanshu.com "

Zhou Ming was overjoyed, holding his hand and said: "Thank you, thank you Mr. Police, you are the first to reward my audience, and a person who really loves music!"

The police man shook his head and said, "No, you misunderstood what I meant, because you made more than 70 decibels in public, violated the City Appearance Law, and was fined 300 credit points. The evidence collection has been completed, so please cooperate. "

Zhou Ming: ...

...

A month later, Zhou Ming, a sculptor, guitar master, magician and other professions, tried Zhou Ming for a few days, and finally completely despaired about this city that refused to consume art. The investment of more than 6,000 credit points was only returned Less than 2,000 points in return, eating and drinking Lasa to sleep, and spent more than 2,000 credit points, and now the remaining credit points are less than 2,000.

In order to save money, he had to leave the city, bought a maglev train ticket, and went to Baowan Town, 150 kilometers away. Baowan Town is the agricultural center of Yaoxing City, with a large number of private farms and agricultural companies. Zhou Ming wants to come here and try his luck to solve the problem of livelihood.
