Data Wasteland

The morning light shines through the window and shines on the floral sofa in the room. Chen Xing yawned and sat up slowly. Looking at the differently decorated small buildings outside the window, after a while, he opened his sleeves and looked at the red watch on his wrist.

Time is running out, he must deal with the matter as soon as possible, and then go to the monitor lizard city to find a caravan to pass. Only when he arrives at Qianfan Port can he truly breathe a sigh of relief. He patted his face, put the package on his back, carried his luggage, and walked down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor.

There was no one at the front desk, and Chen Xing was about to shout "checkout" upstairs, when a fragrant wind suddenly drifted behind him.

"Hi~"

He turned his head, and the sunlight came in from the door, a little dazzling. The girl stood in the morning light and smiled at him. Bright eyes with zirconium teeth and bright eyes.

She is holding a schoolbag in both hands, wearing a blue-gray dress with a red belt on her collar, quiet and well-behaved. In an instant, Chen Xing's heart moved, thinking of the girl who was at the same table when Lang Lang was reading a book many years ago.

If she only talked about her appearance, she couldn't compare to any woman beside Chen Xing. Aaliyah's enchanting and colorful, Suna's innocent and lovely, Yeyang Bailiu's allure is stunning. In front of them, she can only be reduced to a foil of green leaves, unknown.

But she has a unique temperament that deeply attracted Chen Xing. It was a familiar, sour, hazy, inexplicable feeling. Perhaps this is what people call first love.

If it is said that he had had such a love in the previous two lives, it was the girl in front of him who was somewhat similar to his high school table.

When he was in high school, Chen Xing hadn't learned his skills. He only knew that he would study hard, and in the future, he would go to a decent university and find a decent job. It's hard for a poor family to have a noble son. He never expects too much. He is a down-to-earth man and does things really.

But when he looked back at the past, he always felt that he had lost something...

Then he met her. At that time, he was still a small mercenary, and ran with the Leiguang regiment. Their encounter is not so beautiful. In a small bar in a post town, the exhausted cannon fodder meets the kind-hearted Oriole. In the story of the bard, they are all ignored.

But she really gave him an unforgettable time. Perhaps it was the only light in that gloomy day. She would feel sorry for him like a big sister, and pester him like a little sister. She gave everything a woman could give. The only thing that cannot be given is the future. But neither of them can give each other a future, and the ending of the cannon fodder and the Oriole is doomed to only be separated.

As she said back then, they may meet, but they will always be two parallel lines.

Staring at the girl in the sun, Chen Xing was about to speak, but the roar of Hedong lion sounded above his head.

"Hurry up to school, do you want to be late!" Su Muzhu walked down with her waist in her waist, cursing, "It's really a money-losing guy, and it will be a relief every day!"

Su Xuefei nodded to Chen Xing and hurried out.

Watching Su Xuefei leave, Chen Xing took out nine gold coins from his purse, patted them on the front desk, and said, "This is the money for one month's room."

"Good, good..." Su Muzhu immediately filled his face with a smile, and said enthusiastically, sweeping the gold coins into his pockets.

Chen Xing turned around and walked to the door, and Su Muzhu's cry came from behind, "Will you be back for dinner at night? My old lady will cook for you herself."

"No time." Chen Xing dropped a sentence and went out without looking back.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Xing took a taxi to the nearest bank.

A young appraiser received him. After seeing the collection, a quote of 7310 gold coins was given. Chen Xing agreed. Before coming here, he had done repeated thinking. In order to save time and avoid too many procedures that easily reveal his identity, he decided to lose some money and sell it directly to the bank.

"Sir, please show your identity." The young appraiser said politely.

Chen Xing was puzzled and shook the red watch.

"I'm sorry, sir, we can't deal with non-citizens," said the young appraiser.

"Why?" Chen Xing frowned and asked.

"We have no way of knowing whether the source of the sale you own is legal." The young appraiser nodded and said, "So I'm sorry, we can't make a transaction."

"So, do you have any suggestions?" Chen Xing asked. The rules of the World Bank cannot be changed, and we can only find another way. He couldn't help but sigh that the mainstream world's discrimination against refugees is really everywhere. Without a black watch, even normal transactions cannot be done.

"You can try your luck in the back alley. I heard that there is a good third-party auction house there." said the young appraiser.

"Thank you." Chen Xing took his things and left the bank.

Stop the floating taxi on the street, get on it, and indicate the location to the driver. After half an hour, Chen Xing came to a dark alley. The alley was crowded with people coming and going.

After some inquiries, Chen Xing came to a small door with a black curtain, opened the curtain and walked in.

"What are you doing?"

A strong man greeted him, folded his hands on his chest, showing his solid muscles, and asked roughly.

"Selling goods." Chen Xing patted his backpack.

"Go down from there, down to the fourth floor." The strong man pointed to the old freight elevator in the corner and said.

Chen Xing walked over and pressed the button, and the elevator door creaked and opened slowly. Paint was falling everywhere in the elevator and it was rusty. In this modern city, it is very against peace.

"Clang...clang..."

After a sound of metal crashing, the elevator descended to the negative fourth floor. As soon as the door opened, loud noises poured in.

There were a lot of people outside, screaming excitedly around the boxing ring converted into an auction platform. For a while, Chen Xing couldn't tell whether it was an auction site or an underground fighting field.

The auction scene was very refreshing, all cash was used, and when I was optimistic, I smashed it up. Out of the elevator, Chen Xing walked around the wall to the receiving office of the auction house. He was received by an old appraiser over ninety years old, with grey hair, trembling on crutches, and one could not help but doubt his judgment.

"Young man, put everything on the table." The old appraiser tapped on the wooden tabletop with a cane and said.

After a while, the old appraiser gave a price of 7,260 gold, a little lower than the World Bank.

"All right." Chen Xing sighed. Low is low, at least it can be traded.

"Young man, do you want cash or post it?" the old appraiser asked.

"Cash." Chen Xing said.

"That's it..." The old appraiser touched his beard and said in a deep thought, "If you want cash..." His glasses flickered, "A five percent fee will be charged."

"What!" Chen Xing was completely angry. Cut a knife here, cut a knife there, it's like he came to slaughter a pig.

"Young man, don't get excited, this is the rule, there is no way..." the old appraiser smiled and persuaded.

"What **** rules!" Chen Xing yelled.

"Didi..." As soon as the voice fell, the red watch made a beep. Looking down, there are two lines of red letters scrolling on the screen.

[Detected that you use vulgar offensive language, temporary social credibility is -2, please use civilized language]

[Detected that the object of your language attack is a 96-year-old old man, the punishment is aggravated, and the temporary social credit is -3, please use civilized language, respect the old and love the young]

"Wo..." Chen Xing was halfway through scolding, and swallowed the second word abruptly. He finally understood why the underground auction house invited such an old antique to do things, it was too poisonous.

"Okay, I'll admit it..." Chen Xing nodded and said, then fixed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "I won't sell seven thousand gold coins, one less coin!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say..." the old appraiser said with a beaming smile.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Xing carried a large bag of gold coins out of the underground auction room. Adding the previous one, there are a total of more than eight thousand gold coins in cash. Then, he went to a nearby restaurant to order some food and opened a bottle of xo, which rewarded himself well, and it was a good thing for himself. I can't use the black watch. It's disgusting. He used to know that the refugees were difficult, but he didn't know it was so difficult. Everything was dwarf and restricted everywhere. It was terrible!

At eight o'clock in the evening, he arrived at the Big Banyan Tree Hotel as scheduled.

Cassie, Ajomu, and Danny have all sold the goods, a total of more than 3,700 gold coins, each of which can be divided into more than 900. Chen Xing originally thought that there were more than 10,000 gold coins, but he did not expect it to be more than 9,000. This is also the result of being exploited everywhere.

"Boss, me, how about I give you a thousand gold coins?" Cassie made a flattering look.

"What do you mean?" Chen Xing asked.

"That, that..." Cassie stammered, "Cricket, cricket, armed cricket..."

Chen Xing frowned, it turned out that the other party was making this idea. That armed cricket cost two thousand gold coins for second-hand, and Cassie wanted to buy it for one thousand, which was simply whimsical. Chen Xing was about to refuse, but he could think about it again. Vehicles are always foreign objects, and unlike firearms and accessories, armed crickets are equipped with on-board computers, which can be easily recognized by those who are interested.

As far as he knows, there are more than two hundred people in the Black Eagle Group, and they are active in the Crow City area. Maybe they will run into it one day.

"Boss, the black guy and the sports car are a pair. Just let me. I will treat her like my old mother..." Cassie begged, looking pitifully.

Chen Xing originally wanted to add another two hundred, but the two had fought side by side after all, and they couldn't say what they said. Finally, they threw the car key over and only collected Cassie 1,000 gold coins. In this way, he has more than 10,000 gold coins.
