Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

After two or three days of adaptation, Zhao Dun has fully adapted to life in the virtual world. There is money in his virtual account, which is converted from state subsidies and does not hinder the use of the real world. Worry about livelihood.

But after playing like crazy for two or three days, he decided to support himself. In addition to contributing his brain computing power, Zhao Dun also hoped to find a job where he could interact with people.

After all, I have been disabled for too long, and I have been completely isolated from the outside world. I really hope to communicate with people more.

If it was a person with disabled limbs and blind eyes in the real world, everyone wouldn't pay attention to him at all, because it was too uncomfortable to watch.

Where can I find a job?

Zhao Dun thought over and over again, the hot pot restaurant and the drink shop are all very good, but there are not many people coming and going, and everyone's expressions are not rich enough, nor lively enough.

"The amusement park is very good!" In the end, Zhao Dun decided to work in the amusement park. It is a good place for laughter and laughter.

Sometimes you can even see funny things that happen to some people because of their lack of psychological quality.

For example, when I was playing two days ago, I saw someone screaming and running out of the haunted house, followed by a haunted house employee dressed as a ghost. It was so fun.

This is really a sequela left by long-term loneliness, and I like to join in the fun.

When Zhao Dun went to apply for the job, he didn't put in much effort, because Zhao Dun's information was pulled out, and the playground could see his real situation, which cannot be seen in the virtual world without actively displaying it.

The person in charge of recruiting at the playground asked a few questions as usual and recruited Zhao Dun. He was working as a service employee in the playground, specifically introducing the characteristics of each project, which was very similar to a tour guide.

These jobs can actually be replaced by artificial intelligence, but Changtian Technology hides artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence can indeed replace some, but first people have to survive.

Zhao Dun cherishes this job very much, and arrives at the playground half an hour early every day.

This is a virtual world, so there is no such thing as cleaning and checking equipment, but Zhao Dun arrived early, chatted with colleagues who appeared one after another, looked at the equipment, and felt that he was still alive.

Colleagues actually don't know his situation, this kind of privacy must be kept confidential, recruiters can't disclose relevant information, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, the last thing a disabled person wants is to be treated differently as a disabled person in a game.

"Hello, this project is called Operation Hurricane. Everyone will be shaken quickly, just like a washing machine dehydrating, and even head down. So people with bad hearts must be careful, although there will be no There are safety issues, but it is exciting enough." Xiaodun took the trouble to explain to many tourists.

If you get tired of the work here, you can change shifts with colleagues at the entrance, do ticket checking, and watch people of all ages come and go, which is another mood.

In the virtual world, there will also be residences. This kind of residence consumes computing power and does not occupy a specific construction area.

What you see is a 23-story house, maybe millions of people can live in it, and when you go home, you enter the specific house number, so you won’t get lost.

The advantage of this is that the accommodation area is very close to the commercial area, and you can see the surrounding environment as soon as you open the window, which is directly the city center.

Xiaodun's favorite thing to do after get off work is to buy vegetables and cook, and leave the virtual world after eating.

Although the satiety of delicious food is only virtual, in the real world he still needs to rely on his mother to feed him fluid food.

But this feeling is also beautiful!

During this process, he can feel his limbs to the greatest extent, the feeling of holding things with his hands, which he has not experienced for a long time, and he cherishes this feeling more than ever.

Due to being disabled for too long, it is unnatural to see things with glasses, and the coordination of hands and feet is also unnatural, so his fingers are often cut and his arms are burned, but Xiaodun never tires of it.

Xiaodun's mother has clearly felt the changes in her son, and her son has become more cheerful, often sharing things in the virtual world with her excitedly, and is very proud that she has found a job and is living hard.

The wages given to him by the amusement park are not too much, only 2,000 Luoxia coins, but the prices inside are also low, a cup of coffee is only 5 yuan. In the real world, coffee in a big city costs at least 50 yuan.

Luoxia currency can be exchanged with RMB in a certain proportion, and the exchange rate depends on the situation.

Coupled with the income from sharing brain power, the national disability subsidy, some assistance from the community, and the provision of supplies, Xiaodun is already able to support himself.

Being able to support oneself is the greatest dignity a person can have in life.

Zhao Dun hopes that he can earn more money, ask someone to take care of himself, and liberate his mother.

In addition to the necessary rest, Xiaodun is in the virtual world all day long, and his mother no longer has to worry too much about his life. She can go to work with more peace of mind, and even has time to go out for a walk to relax.

Over the years, the pressure on Xiaodun's mother was really too great, and her eyes were drained. For so long, she even thought that she would die, but in the end she couldn't let go of her son.

But life is too heavy, people can't be happy at all, they always feel dull and out of breath. Now it's better, my mind has opened up a lot, my mental state has improved, and my body has become healthier.

Xiaodun is confident in the game, and his image before the accident was very good.

Moreover, the virtual world of Changtian Technology is very real. There is no face-squeezing technology. What you look like on the outside is what you look like on the inside. This is also to prevent customers from being deceived.

He is obviously a big man who picks his feet, but he wants to pretend to be a cute girl, making people stand upside down, cheating feelings and money.

On this day, he ate the terrible dinner he made by himself, and ate smoothie at a nearby beverage store. His hands were still a little uncomfortable, and he was clumsy everywhere, and even dropped some on his clothes and pants. He was in a mess. Beat off the greasy smoothie.

"Let me help you!" A soft voice sounded, and he looked up to see a clean and refreshing young girl.

The girl smiled at him and helped him scoop the smoothie into a small bowl.

"Thank you, thank you." Xiaodun didn't know what to say. In reality, he hadn't talked to people for a long time, especially young girls, because he felt inferior in his heart and felt that he was not worthy to talk to people.

"My name is Xie Xiaohui, what's your name?" The girl smiled beautifully, her eyes curved like the moon.

"Zhao Dun!" Xiao Dun lowered his head and spoke, sending the sand ice into his mouth.

Then there was no topic to talk about, and the scene suddenly cooled down.

Xie Xiaohui didn't expect this boy to be so shy, his face was red up to the ears, he didn't dare to look up at her after so long,

She felt that this Zhao Dun was too naive, and at this moment, her female companion called her over.

She turned around and shouted in a strange way: "I'll go with you later!" Then she felt embarrassed amidst the cheerful laughter of her companions.

To be honest, Xie Xiaohui really couldn't help coming to help because she saw Zhao Dun's handsomeness. Now she is really interested in this boy.

"You... are you okay if you don't go? Everyone has gone away." Zhao Dun finally choked out a sentence.

"You have an appointment? Is she coming soon?" Xie Xiaohui felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Dun quickly denied it: "No one came. I see that your companion has left. I'm afraid it will disrupt your plan. There are so many interesting things here, and there are so few hours in a day, so..."

"It's fine. By the way, are you still in school or working?" Xie Xiaohui breathed a sigh of relief and started to find other topics.

Xie Xiaohui spoke softly and was very patient. Zhao Dun's uneasy mood quickly calmed down, and he gradually became familiar with her.

Looking at the angelic Xie Xiaohui, Zhao Dun wanted to explain his real situation several times, but he didn't know how to say it.

He liked talking to her so easily, without any psychological pressure, and the whole world lit up.

At the same time, he was afraid of being rejected after telling the truth.

Zhao Dun kept thinking that if she saw her real self, she might be scared to cry.

"I'd better stop messing around in the playground, pick up my previous major, earn more money in the virtual world, and then..." Zhao Dun was thinking wildly, he was worried that even if he made a lot of money in the virtual world, he would still be able to make money. I don't deserve to communicate with such a nice girl.

Xie Xiaohui didn't think so much, she had been communicating with Zhao Dun peacefully, she was curious about why Zhao Dun found a job in an amusement park because he was well-educated and knowledgeable.

"I like to see people laugh, and I like places with a lot of people." Zhao Dun said it honestly, and Xie Xiaohui had a different feeling after hearing it. She felt that this boy was too pure.

In the end, all the little sisters who went shopping came back, and Xie Xiaohui was still communicating with Zhao Dun.

"Hey! We've finished eating smoothies, are you still talking? It's a miracle the boss didn't drive you away." A sister teased Xie Xiaohui.

Xie Xiaohui patted the little sister's arm in embarrassment, and everyone laughed.

Zhao Dun was embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Waiter, bring me four smoothies!"

Then I kept apologizing to Xie Xiaohui: "I talked too hard, I forgot to order your food, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, have you had dinner? Do you want Roujiamo, it tastes good."

This made Xie Xiaohui speechless. Are you serious about inviting a stranger with a different surname to eat meat buns when you meet for the first time? Xie Xiaohui's companions almost died laughing, this person is too ignorant. Cold drink with roujiamo, what's the way to eat it?

"Did I say something wrong? Uh, if you don't want to eat Roujiamo, then eat steak?" Zhao Dun was a little anxious, he didn't know how to deal with this situation, and he had never been in a relationship before being disabled. It's very simple, you can do anything, obviously it's a little different when you get out of society.

Only then did Xie Xiaohui realize that Zhao Dun wasn't pretending, and waved his hand: "We've already eaten, and smoothies are good."

With the addition of the little sister, the scene was a bit awkward, and the two of them didn't dare to speak much.

In the end, Xie Xiaohui took the initiative to pay the bill, and Zhao Dun immediately went over to stop her: "How can I let a girl pay the bill!"

"It's okay, then AA is fine, is that okay?"

"No! I'll delay you to play, I'll come, I'll come."

During the stalemate, Xie Xiaohui's companion smiled and said to Zhao Dun: "Brother, you shouldn't worry about who pays the bill now. You have something more important to do, you know?"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Dun was taken aback, taking advantage of this gap, Xie Xiaohui settled the bill first.

"You should ask for her contact information, and then call back next time." Xie Xiaohui's companion said seriously.

Xie Xiaohui said angrily: "What nonsense!"

"Oh, stop pretending!" The companion laughed in a low voice, Xie Xiaohui and the others had already seen what was on his mind.

Zhao Dun didn't care so much, what he thought was that he must invite back next time: "Add it, I'm so sorry today!"

Although Xie Xiaohui was embarrassed this time, he still firmly handed over the phone, leaving behind his phone number and internet contact information.

Until Xie Xiaohui and his girlfriend left while fighting, Zhao Dun still felt like he was dreaming.

Zhao Dun's situation is not an isolated case. More and more disabled people have entered the virtual world to find the meaning of life, and applied to Changtian Technology for jobs.

If it is an acquired disability, it is naturally much easier for those who have relevant education and skills.

If it is a congenital disability, Changtian Technology will increase the subsidy and provide them with training, so as to allow the disabled to support themselves and gain self-identity.

However, there are always some people in this world who have various intentions to make trouble.

It wasn't long before Zhao Dun's stable life passed, and some self-media began to work hard.

They found Zhao Dun's house one after another and blocked the door. When they saw Zhao Dun's mother, they enthusiastically started their daily routines.

"Who are you?" Zhao Dun's mother was very disgusted when she saw these fake smiles. These people looked abnormal, each of them was holding a mobile phone, and there were supplementary lighting equipment around them. They knew they were live broadcasting.

"I'm a little tadpole! I have hundreds of thousands of fans, and I'm here to find out the truth of the matter." A male anchor with a tattoo on his hand said gruffly, "Don't be afraid, big sister, just tell the truth if you have anything to say."

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Dun's mother was a little afraid of him. This man was thick and thick with tattoos, a fleshy face and a gold chain, which was really scary.

"We suspect that Changtian Technology is using disabled labor for free! The shared brain computing they said is simply a cover, and the money has not been paid on time!" This "big" tadpole has a rough voice.

"Also! We suspect that they hire disabled people for very low wages, or even none. They just trick you into buying related equipment for profit!"

"Don't be afraid, UU reading www.uukanshu.com tell the truth, we will decide for you!"

A vegetable market suddenly opened in the corridor, and the noisy sound drew the neighbors out.

Don’t ask why the security guards at the gate let so many people in, because there is no security guard here at all. Since Xiao Dun needs to be taken care of, Xiao Dun’s mother works on a daily basis and her income is very low. The previous house has been sold long ago. , Entering this old community with poor infrastructure, there is no security at all.

"Shut up, all of you!" Xiaodun's mother trembled angrily. For the sake of the live broadcast, these people dared to ask anything and said anything unconscionable.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We know that Changtian Technology must have forced disabled families to sign a non-disclosure agreement, but let me tell you, this is illegal, so this kind of contract is not protected by law."

"Yes, we can even help you with the lawsuit. As long as you win, Changtian Technology will pay you a lot of money!"

They want the hype, the truth doesn't matter.
