Lin Yi pushed open the bathroom door. There was no light on outside. The light from the bathroom shone outside, leaving a small square of light, while the rest of the place was dim.
"Turn on the light." Lin Yi opened his lips and said. He lowered his eyes and saw that the instep of his foot was surprisingly thin. This body was too weak.
Putting aside other things, if he doesn't change the physical fitness of this body, Lin Yi has no idea when he will die again.
After hearing Lin Yi's instructions, the personal intelligent computer that manages the entire apartment immediately turned on the lights in the living room, and then asked with concern: "Master looks very tired, are you okay?"
The intelligent brain that talked to Lin Yi was standard equipment for the residents of the Empire, and the work it undertook was determined by the level of the intelligent brain. For example, the intelligent brain that Lin Yi currently had could basically take care of his diet and daily life, monitor his basic health, manage his personal account, and connect to various entertainment on the Star Network. The basic functions of the intelligent brains were similar, and the level difference depended on its empathy ability.
For an intelligent computer like Xiao A that Lin Yi possesses, asking Lin Yi whether he is okay is already the limit of its program settings.
Lin Yi sat down on the sofa: "It's okay, Xiao A, help me get some food."
The chubby little robot that was standing quietly in the corner of the room suddenly flashed a light on its head and started moving.
"Master, you have some new emails. Do you want me to read them to you?"
Lin Yi nodded, and at the same time, the little robot that had left in front of him ran back silently and quickly. Its originally round head had become a square flat tray in the middle, with a cup of liquid that looked like milk on it. However, this was not milk, but a cup of nutrient solution that guaranteed Lin Yi's nutritional needs for the whole day.
The nutrient solution was actually not difficult to drink. Lin Yi raised the cup and took a sip. Immediately, a light fruity flavor and a somewhat unreal sweetness appeared in his mouth, which was a bit like drinking juice.
As for the original food culture on Earth, it had already been replaced. From the perspective of efficiency and time saving, Lin Yi felt that there was nothing wrong with the nutrient solution, but he was reluctant to say goodbye to the rich taste of all the traditional foods.
After getting Lin Yi's nod, Xiao A started reading the first email.
“… Based on the assessment of your account balance and your repayment ability, we have planned the best monthly repayment amount for you. You only need to repay 10,000 per month, starting from next month. We hope you have enough balance for the deduction…”
Although Lin Yi knew that the original owner had a lot of troubles, this first email was just asking for money, and no one would be happy about it.
The original owner took the advertisement for a tea beverage, and they only paid the original owner 500,000 yuan in advertising fees. As a result, they asked the original owner to compensate them on the grounds that the original owner's bad image had affected the brand. The original owner didn't have much money left because of the surgery, and couldn't afford the expensive lawyer fees in the capital star. In the end, all the money added up, and they insisted on paying the other party more than 10 million yuan.
He sneered. Ten thousand a month is enough for the original owner to pay it back in a hundred years.
"Xiao A, check how much money is left in my account now." Lin Yi said.
Little A immediately replied: "Master, you currently have 461 star coins in your account."
Although he was prepared, when Lin Yi heard this number, he still couldn't help but feel a mouthful of nutrient solution stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
He knew that the original owner was poor, but he didn't expect him to be so poor.
The consumption level of the capital planet is basically the same as that of the original Earth. It is a problem whether Lin Yi can have a good meal in the remaining nearly 20 days of this month, let alone do other things with this 400 yuan. Not to mention that when next month comes, this small apartment will have to pay 4,000 to 5,000 yuan in rent and a monthly repayment of 10,000 yuan.
The most important pass for the movement of people in the empire is credit points. If Lin Yi cannot pay back the money, it will not be as simple as living on the streets. He may not even be able to return to his original rare planet. He can only go to some very remote planets. The public security and personnel complexity in those places are definitely not something an omega can deal with.
Little A saw that Lin Yi seemed to be in a bad mood, so he paused and asked him: "Master, should I continue reading?"
Lin Yi put down the cup, wiped his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Continue reading."
Anyway, I know how miserable my current situation is, so I might as well listen to it all at once.
Sure enough, nothing good happened afterwards. The rent went up, the hospital asked for payment, and they asked him if he wanted to renew his nutrient solution order, and they urged him to pay the money within two days.
Apart from the debt collectors mentioned above, Lin Yi was more concerned about the nutrient solution.
Nutrient solutions are also divided into grades and genders. For example, the ingredients of alpha and omega nutrient solutions are very different. I won’t go into the taste difference between the more expensive and the less expensive ones.
Little A was very familiar with this, so he said without Lin Yi telling him, "Let's order the A package exclusively for omegas, right?"
Lin Yi turned on the smart brain on his wrist, and a floating screen immediately popped up in front of him. He carefully read the package description, and then answered Xiao A: "No, give me Alpha's A package."
Little A seemed a little surprised, but he did not question his master's mechanism, and quickly responded to order the alpha package for Lin Yi. However, after ordering, he reminded Lin Yi: "Host, omega may have many side effects if they use the alpha package."
"For example?" Lin Yi was staring at the dozen or so dollars left in his account and frowned, and asked casually.
"You may have overnutrition. If you combine it with exercise, your body may have more obvious muscle lines." Little A's tone remained unchanged, but Lin Yi clearly read a hint of worry in it.
Of course, this is indeed a correct concern considering the empire’s current aesthetic preference for omegas which tends to be weak, but Lin Yi doesn’t care about it.
What he wanted to throw away was this soft body. It was a pity, Lin Yi thought, that was that the innate physical quality of omegas was relatively poor, so even if he tried his best, he might not be able to reach the best state he hoped for.
"It doesn't matter." He dealt with Xiao A casually. Just when he was about to let Xiao A take a rest while he looked at the current situation in the Star Network, Xiao A spoke again.
"Master, there is one last email. It is from Galaxy Films. Do you want me to read it?"
Galaxy Films
Lin Yi raised his head with some surprise and looked at the little robot with a round head.
Galaxy Film and Television is a film and television company on the capital planet. It is powerful and has a semi-official background. Whether it is TV dramas or other TV programs, it is steady and reliable, and enjoys a high reputation throughout the empire. However, the original owner had no intersection with it before.
Lin Yi couldn't figure out why Galaxy Film and Television would send him an email.
Anyway, it can't be that he is a creditor who has run away, or someone who is pretending to be someone else to cheat people, right
He simply stopped letting Little A read to him and opened his email and started reading directly.
The letter was indeed sent from Galaxy Film and Television, and the content was simple and clear, inviting Lin Yi to participate in a variety show called "Where Are We From" which would be aired in a few days. The variety show was specially made to catch up with the retro craze in recent years. The theme was to introduce the past appearance of the Earth from all aspects. It had already generated high expectations on Starnet before it was aired. You couldn't be on this kind of show without a certain status.
Not to mention the now notorious Lin Yi, even if the original owner had a good reputation when he first debuted and attracted a small number of fans, he might have to think about whether he could sit in the audience when he received an invitation to a variety show from Galaxy Film and Television, let alone the current situation.
Lin Yi is now more aware of this, and he also has a vague guess as to why he received the invitation. When he searched for the program on Star Network and Xi Qingyu's name popped up, his guess became certain and clear.
Xi Qingyu was the old senior of the original owner. He was well-known in the entertainment circle of the current empire for his good personality and good popularity. If the original owner hadn't exposed the negative news, the contract would have been completed, and he would be in the same company with Xi Qingyu. And Xi Qingyu's company was none other than Yinhe Film and Television's subsidiary, Yinyue Entertainment.
Ye Jin, the boss of Yinyue Entertainment, is the coward who is a gigolo and is trying to blame the original owner. His wife is rarely exposed, and even her last name and first name are rarely known to the outside world. But what is certain is that his wife has an inseparable relationship with the royal family, so it is indeed easy for him to crush a small fry like Lin Yi.
Currently, the empire is ruled by the royal family. The royal aristocracy has great power, but the army is not controlled by the royal family. The various large families check and balance each other to maintain the stability of the empire.
When they first met, Xi Qingyu was warm and friendly, and he even took the original owner to take photos and post updates. The original owner had never experienced these fake faces in the entertainment industry, and she didn't have Xi Qingyu's smoothness in dealing with things. She really thought that the other party was kind to her from the bottom of his heart, and she was almost grateful.
Who would have thought that after he got into trouble, Xi Qingyu would be the first person to step on him.
The media were still only reporting with innuendos and distorted facts, but Xi Qingyu posted several updates in a row, confirming with an attitude of deep love and sharp criticism that the original owner had failed to harm others and deserved it. This attracted a large number of netizens to immediately take sides, and almost paralyzed the original owner's personal account, with all kinds of attacking remarks emerging one after another.
This contrast is not difficult to understand. When they first met, Xi Qingyu probably thought that Lin Yi was leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, so he naturally came up to be intimate with him. But when things changed and Lin Yi was obviously being tricked again, he naturally had to stand up and express his position. If he could add fuel to the fire, he could show his attitude, win the favor of the big boss, and find a future for himself.
As for whether the original owner is pitiful or innocent, people who believe in selfishness don’t care about these.
Lin Yi followed the official announcement of Galaxy Film and Television and clicked into Xi Qingyu's account. After scrolling down a few posts, the update from more than half a month ago came into his sight again.
"I never thought that the junior I valued so much would do such a thing, but the facts before my eyes forced me to believe it. I was shocked and saddened, but also a little angry."
The hundreds of comments under this post basically expressed the same idea, "I feel sorry for Qingyu for making such a mistake in friendship. Don't blame yourself too much. This is not your problem! Hug."
"I'm so angry! How can Lin Yi be so disgusting? He's just an omega, but he can do such a dirty thing to others?"
"So his current fate is entirely his own fault. He deserves it. There is no sympathy for him at all. Even if he didn't hurt himself, I think this kind of omega should be deprived of his reproductive rights!"
Lin Yi glanced through the comments below with a calm expression, and then moved his eyes to the latest post by Xi Qingyu, which was a repost of the official announcement of Galaxy Film.
Xi Qingyu: Looking forward to it! Xinxin//Galaxy Films:…
Although Xi Qingyu was originally quite famous, it was not enough for him to be a permanent guest on a variety show of Galaxy level. This time he had such parachuted resources, obviously because he made the big boss happy when he stepped on Lin Yi last time, and he gave him some benefits by the way.
As for why he invited Lin Yi, Lin Yi closed Xi Qingyu's personal account homepage and clicked into his own. His personal updates were blank, but the private messages were already full. Clicking on any one of them would reveal personal attacks and vicious curses in various combinations of language.
Obviously, such an attack is not enough to satisfy the people above. It would be better to invite Lin Yi to a program platform that is broadcast live throughout the empire, and humiliate him again in all aspects, leaving him no chance of turning over.
As for the possibility of Lin Yi rejecting this invitation, the other party obviously had a clear idea. The reward of 50,000 yuan was life-saving money for Lin Yi at the moment, and neither the original owner nor the current Lin Yi could refuse.
Lin Yi tapped his knees lightly with his fingertips, his whole body was full of rebellion. They wanted Lin Yi to stop walking on this path, to let him be humiliated and trampled underfoot, and to treat him like a piece of grass that could be rolled up and flattened.
However, things are unpredictable, and Lin Yi feels that it is hard to say who will be stepped on in the future.
