I really don't want to be lucky

Chapter 3 3. Chinese and Western Great Meditation Room

You Xiaowu went to the grain store and bought two thick and hard black bread for [-] yuan.

"Originally, we still had two thousand in savings, and with the second dealer's money, the total was four thousand. I still went to the dock to unload goods and make money as usual."

You Xiaowu counted the money and put it in his pocket.

Duo Jin looked at the money notes and salivated:
"Why don't you let me keep the money, it's so tight in your pocket."

You Xiaowu simply washed his face, the water source in the shack area is very precious:

"Okay, as long as you can buy two black bread every day."

Duo Jin waved his hand with a changed face: "Forget it."

He is purely addicted to saving money. He is happy when he has money, but his heart hurts when he has money. Even if he knows that it is a necessary expenditure, he still feels uncomfortable.

……

"Xiaowu's father, if you are not in good health, you should rest at home more. Anyway, Xiaowu can support you by doing odd jobs now."

Aunt Wang next door has just returned from digging wild vegetables, and she sympathizes with Duojin, an amiable and sick single father.

In order to hide their identities, You Xiaowu and Duo Jin allowed others to misunderstand that they were father and son.

"I'm going out to read a book."

Duojin coughed twice and laughed, his footsteps were flimsy and he barely stood firm.

In fact, he also took a bone-building pill from You Xiaowu. Although it didn't improve his physique, the working efficiency of his eating module and light source energy conversion module was obviously enhanced.

"Oh, that's right. You are a skilled person. You can go to the junkyard to pick up parts and assemble them into small robots to sell for money. You should read books."

Aunt Wang nodded in admiration.

Duojin left the shack area and turned onto the main road. Walking 200 meters to the east, he saw the only masonry building outside the city: the street office.

The notice board at the door reads:

The basic manufacturing course of intelligent robots starts at ten o'clock in the morning.

Lectures on common home appliance repair skills, starting at [-]:[-] p.m.

Duojin has already mastered these two basic knowledge, so he has no desire to participate.

Instead, Duojin stood at the door, looking at the words "intelligent robot", and his memory couldn't help drifting back to a long time ago.

He had just escaped from the factory at that time, and except for the thinking module and the biological eating module, which were slightly better, the other parts were extremely damaged.

You Xiaowu, who was only ten years old at the time, secretly came to the sub-district office to listen to lectures to learn mechanical knowledge, and then went to the garbage dump of No. [-] Factory to pick up parts and restore Duojin's body bit by bit.

The reason why Duojin was judged unqualified is also very strange.

It was just because he saw a cute yellow cat running past the factory during the quality inspection, and his heart beat too fast for a while, causing his body surface temperature to be too high, and he was judged to be at risk of explosion.

Duo Jin was immediately sentenced to be destroyed. His strong will to survive gripped Duo Jin's thinking modules, causing him to silently let the factory hammer smash each of his modules into pieces and throw him to the garbage dump.

When You Xiaowu discovered Duo Jin, the latter could only say the word "help".

At that time, ten-year-old You Xiaowu was just an orphan who lost his memory for no reason.

In the evening, Duojin went to the pier to pick up You Xiaowu and went home together.

"Xiaowu!"

Under the golden sunset, Duo Jin excitedly waved to You Xiaowu in the distance.

"Your dad is so kind to you. He's 17 years old, and he even came here to pick you up."

You Xiaowu's worker winked and smiled, and You Xiaowu blinked and smiled:

"That's good. In this troubled world, it's better to have relatives than to have no relatives."

Although You Xiaowu felt that he was being taken advantage of by having an extra father for no reason, but considering that Duojin was just a "seven-year-old" robot, it was fine.

……

Back in the shack, the two of them had just set up a pot to cook bread when the sound of crisp footsteps sounded.

The curtain of the shack was lifted, and a slender woman walked in.

"Isn't this the goddaughter of the boss in the first district of the shack, Bai Yanshuang girls? What's the matter?"

Duojin stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Miss Bai doesn't look very well?"

You Xiaowu sat quietly next to the iron pot, the light from the fire pit reflecting his angular young face.

Bai Yan's eyebrows were sad, but she insisted on wearing the shoulder-padded clothes exclusive to strong women. She covered her face and said in surprise:
"Is my haggard and pale so obvious?"

Dokin shook his head with a smile:
"Maybe it's because you have a lot of fans."

Bai Yanshuang was choked for a moment. After taking a deep breath for a long time, she spoke:
"Comrade Duojin, isn't your family, You Xiaowu, planning to join the forces in the first district?"

"Nowadays, the competition for spare parts in the junkyard is becoming more and more fierce, and retail investors can't get a good deal in it. It's better to find a big force to rely on."

"And our District [-] does not interfere with your daily life, as long as you stand with our people when picking up trash."

Dojin smiled and listened to her finish:

"Forget it, this is just a trick of the first district to stand up again and again. When it really comes to the time when several districts are fighting for territory..."

"We little soldiers must be the first to be sent up as cannon fodder, don't go, say nothing!"

Bai Yanshuang's face was ugly. In fact, if she hadn't repeatedly begged her godfather to give this family a chance, they would have been violently treated long ago.

"I'm doing this for your own good, please think about it again."

Bai Yanshuang left, but Duo Jin was still a little bit aggrieved:

"You obviously look like a normal girl, why do you want to drag people into the fire pit?"

You Xiaowu thought quietly for a while:
"It's not easy for her either. I've seen her give cotton-padded clothes to some shack children, even though they're just the ones her godfather didn't want, and they're resized into smaller sizes."

……

As night fell and the white mist cleared, You Xiaowu closed his eyes and finally re-entered the meditation room.

There is a row of large bookshelves against the wall of the meditation room, and many small blue books are obscured by white mist.

The sandalwood on the table can't be burned out, and the pink ice cream machine in the corner can replenish energy.

Three ice creams a day can be eaten by You Xiaowu himself to replenish his energy, but eating them for others can only give him satisfaction and a "lost mind" effect.

An ancient dial telephone stood beside the table.

The vampire's self-circulating blood-sucking device is chilling.

Statues of Western angels and dragons are placed on the pineapple table, and the mission, status, and rewards are written on the rice paper in clear and regular lower letters.

[Task: Make the enemy laugh]

【Status: Completed】

[Reward: A set of Stiffness Spray (can be used ten times, no cooldown, lasts for five seconds), Body Building Bone Pill (enhances physical fitness and mental strength)]

"What is my current physical fitness? How much mental strength?"

You Xiaowu asked the system.

"The host's physique is currently about 1.5 times that of an adult male. Mental strength has no authority to tell."

The sound of the system flashed coldly and quickly.

You Xiaowu tried to ask about the origin of this meditation room again, but the system stopped answering, and only after a long time did he say:
"Please host to explore on your own."

You Xiaowu shook his head, and after coming out, he followed Duo Jin, who was struggling with the hard black bread, and traced the tadpole characters on the ice cream.

"This is……"

Duo Jin, who was only joking at first, finally realized that things were abnormal. With his powerful data search ability, he recognized what was written in one go:
"It's the Great Compassion Curse! How could the spell of the Eastern Gods be printed on an ice cream?"

"No, no, let me sort it out, I seem to have heard the legend of spiritual weapons somewhere before."

"A vacuum cleaner that can suck ghosts, a biscuit that can copy the opponent's ability, and a skill that is inexplicably scapegoat..."

"I do have these records in my database, but they are all from the novels before the catastrophe! Could it be that they appeared because of the recovery of spiritual energy?"

For a moment, You Xiaowu and Duojin stared with wide eyes.

Duojin's emotional module showed signs of fever and collapse because of his mood swings too much, You Xiaowu quickly poured him a glass of water to calm him down.

"Your meditation room is really a perfect combination of Chinese and Western. It seems that the ghosts and gods of the East and the West have begun to show their traces due to the recovery of spiritual energy."

"I have lived an ordinary life for 17 years, why did I suddenly become a superhuman?" You Xiaowu didn't know whether this was good or bad.

"Maybe it has something to do with physical constitution? Don't you have the idea of ​​blood inheritance in your human history? Maybe the second-hand dealer's boss discovered something and wanted your hand?"

Duo Jin made a bold guess.

"Then let's go into the Steel City again to explore the reality?"

You Xiaowu's eyes suddenly filled with excitement.
