On the holographic screen, the host is auctioning a 5.8-kilogram oil-green jadeite offered by Shang Yun, and there are many bids below.
"I will offer 200,000 star coins!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand star coins!"
"Two hundred and sixty thousand star coins!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand star coins!"
... ..
Host Tan Shu: "Currently the highest bid is 300,000 star coins, does anyone want to increase the price?"
Miaomu looked around for a week and saw that no one continued to bid, so he smiled and said: "One time for 300,000, twice for 300,000, 300,000—a deal! Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the bid at a price of 300,000 star coins." This piece of green jadeite!"
Bai Jing glanced at the screen and walked out of this gorgeous spherical building.
He booked the room in advance with his optical brain, left the bustling crowd, walked through the towering buildings on both sides of the road, and walked into a remote path.
The location here is not good, but the price is cheap, only 300 stars per night.
Pushing open the door, the room was very modern, with a simple mix of black, white and gray, and intelligent home appliances. Since he entered the room, the lights, music, and even the hot water in the bathtub had been automatically adjusted.
The housekeeping robot left brand new slippers at the door, and after Bai Jing put them on, he immediately went to the bathroom to take a hot bath.
The warm water penetrated every pore of the body, Bai Jing let out a comfortable moan, and soaked the whole body in the bathtub.
He hasn't showered for a week, and water resources are extremely precious in the apocalyptic world, even if he is splashed by the smelly liquid of zombies, he can only simply scrub it off.
Bai Jing soaked for an entire hour, did not get up until his skin was completely moisturized, and changed into the gray bathrobe he had prepared. The dirty clothes were cleaned by the housekeeping robot. He casually wiped his brown and black hair, lay on the bed and began to fiddle with the light brain.
As soon as the optical computer was turned on, a novice guide popped up on the interface.
Because it was in a hurry before, Bai Jing didn't have time to check it in the future, but now there is plenty of time, just in time for a systematic understanding.
An hour later, Bai Jing had a basic understanding of the operation of the optical brain, and of course the information about this era. He was a little surprised that this era was actually related to the last days he lived in before.
Zombies broke out in 2050. After hundreds of years of struggle, human beings finally wiped out the zombies and won the final victory, but also suffered huge losses. The earth is even more polluted by viruses and devastated.
In order to survive, human beings concentrate all their efforts on the development of science and technology, and finally found a livable planet in the Milky Way. Using wormholes and space jumping technology, all the remaining 100,000 people on the earth were immigrated to the capital star. Gradually colonize hundreds of planets around you.
It is a pity that after emigration, it was discovered that these planets have all the materials needed for life, but lack of energy.
After difficult exploration, the researchers of the empire discovered that there are a large number of rough stones irradiated by cosmic rays on the capital star and the surrounding planets, and the 'emerald' contained in them can be used to provide energy.
Robots, mechas, aircrafts, hovercars... almost all the planet's energy, even the advanced gene fluid used to resist cosmic radiation, must be extracted from high-quality jadeite, so betting on stones has become another important field besides mechas .
The current era is the 835th year of the star calendar. After hundreds of years of development, the stone gambling has formed a relatively complete system and scale, and it has given birth to the profession of stone gambling masters.
Due to cosmic radiation, all rough stones are covered with a 'foggy film' near the skin, which cannot be detected by any high-tech means.
However, the probability of emerald inside the original stone is extremely low. Only a high-level stone gambler with rich experience and spiritual power can increase the probability of gambling several times and successfully produce high-quality emerald.
Therefore, stone gamblers are extremely respected in the empire, and the requirements for becoming a stone gambler are extremely strict.
'My ability may be suitable for stone gambling. '
Bai Jing thought that he had detected the activity inside the wool with his perception, and the activity meant that there was jade, and the final result showed that he was correct.
'I didn't expect that the ability that was despised by people in the last days would also come in handy. ' He smiled self-deprecatingly, and then felt the familiar hunger in his stomach.
Probably due to genetic differences, Bai Jing can only be half full even after drinking two primary nutrient solutions. In this case, to achieve fullness, at least thousands of star coins are needed every day.
Bai Jing looked at the 4,700 star coins in his account, and frowned slightly. These star coins can only last for four or five days if he buys nutrient solution.
He turned on the light brain and entered the shopping mall of Xingwang to see if there was any other food.
A natural radiation-free potato costs 200 coins, a catty of beef costs 300 coins, and a bag of rice costs 500 coins...
Bai Jing read softly, his beautiful eyes fixed on the fat and thin beef without blinking, and couldn't help touching it through the glove, it was very elastic.
Bai Jing's small Adam's apple rolled, he hadn't eaten meat for several months.
The last time he ate meat was in the wild. The team finally found a hare that was not contaminated by zombies. Everyone scrambled to eat it. He can still recall the deliciousness of roasted rabbit meat.
After counting the star coins, Bai Jing ordered three potatoes, a catty of beef, a bag of rice, and various condiments without hesitation, spending a total of 1,500 star coins.
Instead of drinking a tasteless nutrient solution, it is better to eat these delicious natural foods to satisfy your appetite.
The courier was delivered to the door in less than ten minutes, which is unbelievably fast.
There is a complete kitchen and kitchen utensils in the room. Bai Jing wears an apron and cooks rice and porridge. Wash and blanch the beef, scrape the potatoes and cut them into hob pieces, and plan to make a potato beef.
After a while, the fragrance of rice filled the whole room. In order to adapt to the long-term hungry stomach, Bai Jing planned to drink porridge first. There is a thin layer of rice oil floating on the rice porridge in the bowl. The soup is clear and bright, and you can see the soft, glutinous and crystal-clear rice grains inside.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't eaten normal food for a long time, Bai Jing felt that this was the best food he had eaten in nineteen years.
A small bowl of rice porridge was quickly consumed, and the warm rice porridge passed through the esophagus, bringing a comfortable warmth to the stomach.
At the same time, the beef with potatoes was also stewed. The orange potatoes were stewed thoroughly. The large chunks of beef were bright in color and wrapped in soup with a strong flavor. Bai Jing tasted it, it was so delicious that he wanted to bite his tongue off.
With the rich soup, Bai Jing ate half a pot of beef and two big bowls of rice, but he didn't dare to eat more because he was worried about his stomach.
At night, lying on the big soft bed, Bai Jing closed his eyes contentedly: If this was a dream, he hoped he would never wake up.
***
A good night's sleep.
Bai Jing woke up from the soft bed, his eyes instantly became vigilant, he sat up suddenly, and habitually touched the energy gun beside the bed.
Only when he saw the housekeeping robot standing by the bed and the white bedding under him did he realize that he was no longer in the last days.
It does not appear to be a dream.
Bai Jing lifted the quilt and prepared to wash. The housekeeping robot followed him step by step, squeezed toothpaste in advance, and played soothing music thoughtfully.
Cool drops of water splashed on his face, and he looked at the person in the mirror.
The brown and black slightly curly hair has become longer due to infrequent care, covering the smooth forehead and those unusually beautiful brown eyes.
Because of sleep, there was a strand of dull hair on the top of his hair, which made the boy's somewhat indifferent face look cute. His face was thin and his chin was pointed. Long-term malnutrition made his complexion slightly yellow, but his delicate appearance was not damaged.
Bai Jing stared at it for a few seconds, picked up the scissors and cut his hair short, revealing those beautiful brown eyes with mist, which made people shake their hearts and couldn't help being intoxicated by it.
He frowned, and ordered a pair of thick-framed old-fashioned glasses with his optical brain. It was the cheapest style, only fifty stars.
After washing up, the glasses also arrived.
After putting it on, he looked at it in the mirror. The thick lenses covered the mist and watery glare in his eyes, and the original stunningness became ordinary, even a bit rustic.
Bai Jing was very satisfied. He never liked being overly concerned, which often meant trouble.
After reheating the leftover potatoes, beef and rice from yesterday, Bai Jing sat by the bed and searched with his brain, planning to find a job. Otherwise, with the star coins in his current account, even if he saves money, it won't last long.
In fact, he likes mecha-related positions the most. Thinking of the holographic image of the realistic version of Mobile Suit Gundam, which was more than ten meters high, he saw on Starnet yesterday, with smooth curves and a metallic appearance, tall, Fierce is every boy's dream!
If he can drive a mecha, even level five zombies can be easily wiped out!
Bai Jing took a few more glances, and closed the interface restrainedly. Whether it's his D-level genetic level, or the price of a mecha that can cost millions or even tens of millions of star coins, it's not something he can think about now.
Slender fingers swipe quickly on the interface, energy engineers, mech builders, mech repairers, genetic fluid developers, senior jade appraisers...
Those positions that can meet his daily food expenditure of thousands of star coins are those positions that require professional skills and professional certificates. Other basic positions are either paid too low or have been replaced by intelligent robots.
'It seems that betting on stones is the best choice at present. 'Bai Jing put away the optical brain.
