Zhang Tie, who has been living a simple and even boring life of two points and one line since childhood, came to the Iron Thorns Battle Hall on Mingguang Street again after school on Wednesday. For Zhang Tie, the significance of the Iron Thorns Battle Hall to his life is that he The life of two points and one line has become three points and one line. There is one more point between the route between home and school. Tang De's grocery store is one point, and the Iron Thorn Battle Hall is also one point. These two points The significance has almost doubled his life circle. Some people may be tortured crazy by such a mechanical lifestyle, but Zhang Tie has lived here for more than ten years, and there is nothing wrong with it, because Zhang Tie has known from a very young age that in this world , there are only a very small number of people who have the right to choose their own lifestyle, and obviously, as a person whose parents are the most ordinary members of Black Flame City, he is born without this right. In any era, there are only a few people who are vigorous and unrestrained, happy and grudges, gold and gold, beautiful women in pink, guiding the country, drinking and singing. Most people, from birth to death, are just like defective products that have been on the assembly line of a factory. Before I had time to see what the world outside of this big factory was like, it was scrapped and recycled.
A school like Heiyancheng National No. 7 Middle School is undoubtedly an assembly line in the workshop. Most of the products coming out of this assembly line will also enter the army, factories, farms and other assembly lines to go around and finally be cremated. Returning from the field, this is the journey of most people's life. If nothing unexpected happens, maybe I will follow this path again in the future.
In the past two days, Zhang Tie found that his mind was much clearer than before, and he could think of many things that he would not have thought of before or could not think of at all. Because he was not willing to become a crude product on this assembly line that could not ultimately determine his own destiny, so Barry and others formed the Aircraft Brotherhood and silently fought against their fate. In order to escape from this assembly line, Gris worked hard in school and qualified as a second-level fighter at a young age. In order to get out of this assembly line, countless people put on pioneer equipment and gambled their lives and future on an unknown future. One after another, they walked onto the black unknown areas on the map. And gone forever...
When he stepped into Mingguang Street, the last image that came to Zhang Tie's mind was an old man he met while working in a grocery store. An old man with completely gray hair and beard. After exchanging some equipment for the pioneers at the grocery store, he sat on the wall opposite the entrance of the grocery store, hugging a tattered sword, smiling, drinking, and watching the sunset. After resting for a while , stood up, tightened his belt, and then walked back to the train station, never seeing him again...
It seems that because that smile in the sunset was too calm and calm, and it was in great contrast with the old man's own situation. The old and down-trodden pioneer he had seen left a deep impression on Zhang Tie. At that time, he could not understand the meaning of the strange expression on the face of the old pioneer sitting on the ground by the street, drinking bad wine and watching the sunset. It was just that the old man's face was full of vicissitudes but smiling. It often appeared in his memory. It was only today that he vaguely understood the pride hidden in the smile on the old man's face and the calmness behind the pride - I have lived hard. !
Everyone in this era is working hard. Some people are trying to become the top product on the assembly line in order to get better treatment. Some people are trying to jump out of that assembly line, regardless of whether they will fall to pieces. , and others are working hard to become assembly line owners. What you already have, you want to have more!
The last time he came to Mingguang Street, everything on this street dwarfed Zhang Tie and felt a little uncomfortable. But when he came this time, looking at everything on this splendid street, Zhang Tie suddenly had an idea. It dawned on me that my discomfort was just a semi-finished product on the assembly line. I saw the natural timidity and unconfidence of the owners and managers of the assembly line. This was due to the rules of the game in this city. Until you break away from the ordinary, semi-finished identity in the eyes of others, everything on this street will put a lot of pressure on you.
Now, it seems that I am working hard to complete the role transformation from an ordinary semi-finished product to an excellent semi-finished product! Ha... ha... semi-finished product? Damn it, if anyone wants to talk about themselves like this, my mother will definitely not agree, because in my eyes, I am the most precious baby in the world! In this world, all I need to care about is what three or five people think of me. As for what other people think of me and what they think, it has nothing to do with me. Why should I pretend to care about those people's feelings? What about a half-finished image in their eyes
Remembering that it was only two years ago that, under his firm protest, his mother gave up calling him "Baby" and called her another nickname "Guoguo", Zhang Tie's lips curled up. A hint of smile appeared, and then, with a more calm and appreciative pace and eyes, he passed through all the dazzling things on Mingguang Street, and came to No. 18 Mingguang Street, in front of the Iron Thorn Battle Hall again.
When Zhang Tie came to the Iron Thorn Battle Hall again, the four gatekeepers took one look at him and let him in. They did not stop him like last time. Zhang Tie glanced at the four men with envy. The shining full-body armor on the door god has extremely amazing defensive power. It is similar to the full-body armor of a standard heavy-armored spearman. The total weight of the entire set of armor is more than 70 kilograms. Wearing such armor is not only majestic, but also more powerful. It is a proof of strength. Those who can wear this kind of armor and move freely must have at least level 5 or above. Putting four warriors above level 5 to guard the gate, the terrifying strength of the Iron Thorn Battle Hall can be seen. .
Walking into the door, passing through the fountain, and coming to the front desk again, Zhang Tie finally understood why the pretty girl Mary "praised herself for being ambitious" last time because she had a different understanding - a person who tried hard to rely on his beauty and appearance. A woman who jumps out of the assembly line naturally doesn't want to have anything to do with a guy who is still on the assembly line and has no future. It seemed like he was a bit rogue and excessive when he treated her like that last time.
An apologetic thought just came into his mind. Turning around the fountain, Zhang Tie saw the large row of beauties with their own characteristics at the front desk again. Unlike the last time he was ignored by these beauties, this time Zhang Tie just walked in and I found that everyone's eyes were fixed on me at once. 80% of these eyes were contempt and disdain, and the other 20% were full of curiosity. It was easy to identify those women who despised and disdained me. Those women were looking at me. Sometimes, if you stare hard at it twice, you will be like a real swan looking at a "very ambitious" toad, proudly turn away your face, raise your head, and never look at yourself again, and that The remaining 20% of curious eyes were staring at the approaching self with a half-smile.
That woman Mary is not here? Zhang Tie glanced at the beauties behind the service desk, then quickly put his right hand into his trouser pocket and held down the disobedient guy. The beauties were all wearing the work clothes here, which were very tight on the upper body and open at the neck. A very low vest and work clothes with loose sweatpants underneath. At a glance, you can see all kinds of rich white snow and all kinds of rough waves, which can make people nose bleed.
No one greeted him, so Zhang Tie didn't look for trouble. He walked past the service desk without saying a word, and only after walking a few steps did Zhang Tie hear the discussion behind him.
"This is just a young boy. How could he be as bad as you say?"
"People should not be judged by their appearance. These little brats these days are all bigger than brats. Mary said this guy is disgusting. He is even more outrageous than those guests. He wanted to molest Mary for the first time. This guy also said to her Let’s do dirty stuff!”
"Really? It doesn't look like it!"
"Are Ona tempted? You'll know after you try it!"
Then there was a burst of women's laughter...
Damn it, Zhang Tie knew that his image among these women was completely ruined.
Naturally, the second time he comes, he does not need to report to Manager Hans, but only needs to report to Manager Baker. Manager Baker is the one Zhang Tie met in Manager Hans’ office last time. His main responsibility is to be responsible. The first-level customer in the war hall, that is, the chief who serves the brats from rich and powerful families. As the human sandbag of those brats, Zhang Tie is naturally under his management. I don’t know if he often An occupational disease developed from dealing with those little brats, Director Baker always seemed to be nagging when he spoke. Sometimes a sentence would be repeated several times in his mouth unconsciously.
Manager Baker seemed very happy to see Zhang Tie come to report, and then he chatted with Zhang Tie in his small office for more than half an hour, including some things that Zhang Tie should pay attention to, what Zhang Tie There are areas where you can move around in the gym, what places you are not allowed to go to, etiquette that you should pay attention to when treating customers, some principles that you should pay attention to when "sparring", etc. These were all very simple things, but Director Baker insisted on repeating these things to himself twice.
Half an hour later, when he looked at Director Baker's mouth and couldn't help but start repeating it for the third time, Zhang Tie opened his mouth in a hurry.
"Well, supervisor, I understand what you said. Should I take a shower now, change clothes, and wait for the guests in the rest area?"
"Oh..." Director Baker looked up at the wall clock in the office, then opened the drawer and threw a key with a good sign to Zhang Tie, "This is the key to your locker room. It will be your personal belongings from now on." There are two sets of training uniforms in the gym. You can change into a new set every time you come. You can hand the new training uniforms to the service desk and someone will clean them for you. The socks will be replaced in the gym every week. I will provide you with a new pair. These are the benefits of the battle hall. Do it well, young man... "
