Luo Xiaolou hesitated and took back his outstretched hand. When the passing cars ignored him, he was sure that the way of taxiing might have changed now.
Just when he was thinking about leaving on foot, a black shadow fell from the sky, so fast that he didn't even have time to escape.
Luo Xiaolou looked at the black car in front of him with an ugly face, and took a deep breath. Although he didn't see where the traffic lights were, his clumsy or crazy driving skills almost made the huge car hit him. up!
Luo Xiaolou walked over angrily, intending to fight for some mental damage fees or something.
The side door of the black car slid open silently, and a girl in a dress poked her head out, with a sweet face, she smiled and blinked, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Reaching out without hitting the smiling person, let alone the woman in front of him, Luo Xiaolou swallowed the sarcasm after hesitating for two seconds, trying to control his temper and said: "Um, I'm going to - the mall, so I'm going to Roadside stop. But I have to say, your driving skills—”
The girl looked back at the car, gestured gracefully, and said, "Come in, I'll take you there."
Luo Xiaolou froze for a moment, well, even if he is very attractive and this beautiful woman has a crush on him, he is not going to get in a stranger's car. What's more, Qiaosha will definitely put a gun to his head if she knows!
"Sorry, I'm still going to—hey, you don't have to..."
The girl didn't wait for him to finish, she pulled Luo Xiaolou closer to the car, and Luo Xiaolou was embarrassed to find that the girl seemed to be stronger than him. However, after being pulled into the car, Luo Xiaolou knew that he would be mistaken. It couldn't be seen from the outside. An innate nobility. At first glance, he was the same type of person as the young master of the Luo family he had just met. For women, this kind of man is more attractive.
But now, the eyes of these people are all focused on Luo Xiaolou. Luo Xiaolou felt quite uncomfortable, robbed, kidnapped and dismembered strong X—it must be a brain twitch, the latter must be removed—all went through in his mind, Luo Xiaolou stared at the people in the car vigilantly, and said nothing. He took a step back, trying to minimize his presence.
In the middle was a blue-eyed young man, who looked at Luo Xiaolou with interest, then smiled decently, and asked, "What are you doing in the mall?"
"Of course it's shopping." Luo Xiaolou was at a loss, otherwise what else could he do, since he couldn't go back to the time and space he came from for a while, then he should settle down first and think about his basic necessities.
People around laughed out loud, the blue-eyed boy was taken aback for a moment, and finally looked at Luo Xiaolou who was genuinely puzzled and said, "It's rare that you are interested, driver, take him there first."
Luo Xiaolou quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he is not in danger for the time being. He had a vague feeling that these people knew this body. But no one showed enthusiasm, and after those two sentences, no one paid any attention to him. As long as there is no trouble, everything will be fine. Luo Xiaolou sat in the corner silently, keeping a distance from those people as much as possible, while observing the world that he needs to integrate into outside the car window.
Along the way, the young men and the girl were chatting and laughing, and from time to time some people looked at him strangely.
After the car stopped at the entrance of the shopping mall, Luo Xiaolou thanked him and got off immediately.
The people in the car watched Luo Xiaolou go away, and someone asked the blue-eyed boy: "Lin Xin, isn't this your master's new toy? What are you taking him with?"
Lin Xin blinked his watery green eyes, and corrected: "It's a toy that has been discarded. I just want to see his reaction."
The only girl came over, hugged Lin Xin's shoulders affectionately, and curled her lips: "It's boring, I can't see the reaction at all, but his clothes and behavior are really rustic."
Others in the car echoed: "Yes, bumpkin, who comes to the mall to buy things in person now."
Lin Xin looked at Luo Xiaolou who was walking away, didn't speak, just nodded to the driver, and the car flew out again.
Luo Xiaolou stood in the huge shopping mall, and found that there were very few people inside, but the products in the transparent counter were exquisite and unusual, making people dazzled.
"Hi, dear guest, welcome to Xinghe Shopping Mall in person, I am your receptionist. Xinghe Shopping Mall is the largest shopping mall on the planet Ansai. Currently, there are ninety-nine chain stores, which can provide you with a variety of high-quality and reliable products. Goods or services, you can tell me anything you need." A sweet-looking woman has come to Luo Xiaolou.
Luo Xiaolou hesitated for a moment, took out the card in his coat pocket first, and asked, "Hello, that, I want to ask, where can I check the amount of money on my card?"
The female receptionist was taken aback, then smiled and said, "This is very simple. In fact, you just need to put the card on the communicator on your wrist."
Luo Xiaolou looked down at the silver-white thing on his wrist. He had seen it a long time ago and thought it was a wrist watch. It seems that the phone he was looking for all over the house was actually in his hand.
The female receptionist was a little surprised by Luo Xiaolou's unfamiliar movements. On the planet Ansai, except for those wanted criminals and homeless, citizens have to wear a communication device since childhood, which stores all the information of the owner, which is similar to an identity certificate.
This young boy obviously doesn't look like those who live in the lowest and darkest world.
However, she was considerate and didn't ask any more questions. She just came over and pressed the round switch button on Luo Xiaolou's communicator, and then slid the card over the card slot of the communicator. A number is displayed.
Luo Xiaolou counted the zeros at the end, one hundred thousand, definitely not a lot, but according to the relationship between himself and Luo's mother and son, it is not a lot. He just didn't know what the prices are now, so he turned to the female receptionist and asked, "What's the house price now—but maybe you should just tell me what the rent is like?"
The female receptionist looked at Luo Xiaolou's communicator, seemed to suppress a smile, and said: "To understand the housing price and rent, please follow me to the eleventh floor. However, I personally suggest that you buy a house. Now you can choose a house that suits your needs.”
Luo Xiaolou was surprised that the mall actually included real estate transactions.
When Luo Xiaolou saw the price, he was even more excited, he could afford it! Regardless of those locations with excellent geographical locations, a one-bedroom, one-living room house in an ordinary place only needs 50,000 federal dollars. The housing prices in the future society are really wonderful.
Luo Xiaolou's face turned red with excitement, he will soon be a house owner! He can save many years of struggle—Luo Xiaolou unconsciously thinks about problems according to the previous logic.
While sighing, the female receptionist said to him again: "Looking at your age, you should be a student who has just become independent. You can choose a temporary residence near your school."
Student—yes, that Mrs. Luo said she arranged a school for him. Luo Xiaolou tried to calm himself down, and took out the admission information from his pocket.
Before he could find out the location of the school, the female receptionist next to him suddenly screamed excitedly: "San Miro College! That Miro flower school badge is definitely San Miro College! My God, the most famous school on Ansai Planet Moreover, it is a military academy, which ranks among the top in the federation!"
The female receptionist blushed with excitement, held Luo Xiaolou's hand tightly with both hands, and said shyly: "Ah, if it weren't for working hours, I really hope to take a photo with you, the Mecha Department of San Miro College There have been several generals, and the students from that famous school are the pride of Planet Ansai!"
Luo Xiaolou felt a lot of pressure when he thought of the unfamiliar phrases in the admission materials. He withdrew his hand without any trace, coughed, and said, "In this case, please help me choose some suitable areas."
The female receptionist tried hard to restrain her excitement, pulled Luo Xiaolou back to the side of the projector, pointed out the location of St. The popularity of Miro College and the housing prices around the school are relatively high, after all, many students don’t like to live on campus, so it’s very inconvenient to do things.” At the end, the female receptionist smiled and winked at Luo Xiaolou.
Luo Xiaolou looked at those exorbitantly high housing prices that were almost comparable to noble residential areas, but had no choice but to search a little farther away. Finally, in the middle of the high-end residential area, he found an inconspicuous community. much lower.
"Oh, here? It's because the home community was established a few years ago. The management and various facilities are not as good as the surrounding new garden communities, so the housing prices are relatively cheap. Moreover, most of the people living there are those who have no children to support them. Pensioners, students and young people generally don't choose here."
"Here it is." Luo Xiaolou said happily, he has no money to squander now, and it is still unknown whether he can find a job after spending the 100,000 yuan. Compared with being hungry, the fact that the neighbor is a member of the nursing home is actually nothing to care about.
"Of course you can, if you don't mind. And because no one has bought it for a long time, it just happens to be a special price from this month."
In the end, Luo Xiaolou bought a house with three bedrooms and one living room for 60,000 yuan with satisfaction. Although he himself didn't need to buy such a big house, but according to his previous narrow point of view, he felt that a house was a symbol of wealth and gave people a sense of security. He really couldn't control himself under conditions.
"This is your door key. I'm connecting with your communicator now. In the future, you can directly use the communicator to open the door. Of course, you can also use the fingerprint system and iris scanning. Now, this three-bedroom, one-living room is yours." Already." After paying the room payment with the credit card, the female receptionist tapped the instrument with her finger, and then handed the door key that came out of nowhere to Luo Xiaolou.
"...It's so convenient." Luo Xiaolou murmured looking at his home displayed on the screen, which contained refrigerators, kitchen utensils, sofas, comfortable big beds, wardrobes and other furniture. There is even a computer in the study.
"There are so many things included?" Luo Xiaolou was surprised.
The female receptionist smiled: "These are the most basic configurations. If you need to change to a more advanced product, you can add a small amount of payment and arrange it directly through the computer online. Our store will deliver it to your door, which is convenient and fast."
Only then did Luo Xiaolou understand, no wonder those young people had strange expressions when they heard him coming to the mall by himself, no wonder there were almost no other people in the mall.
"Mr. Luo, is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Well, it's like this. I still want to buy some textbooks from elementary school to high school. Well, I also need some food." Luo Xiaolou calculated that school is about to start, and he must first improve his illiteracy.
Under the leadership of the enthusiastic and capable female receptionist, the books were bought quickly. But when he got to the food area, Luo Xiaolou froze again.
"One hundred yuan for a potato? It's quite big, but it's not - wait, one hundred and one for an egg?! Are you kidding me?" Luo Xiaolou looked at the price carefully again and made sure I am not dazzled.
The female receptionist blushed. If she hadn't checked the prices with several large shopping malls around this morning, she would almost feel guilty for Luo Xiaolou's shocked expression, and stammered to explain: "Of course , It is very difficult to raise natural crops now, and even if there are, they are grown in very dangerous places. Therefore, in recent years, the price has remained high, and we dare not raise the price casually.”
"Could it be that a meal is so expensive now?" Luo Xiaolou acted as if he couldn't bear it.
"Ah, no, of course not. If it's cheap, there's artificial food over there." The female receptionist finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led the way for Luo Xiaolou.
Luo Xiaolou turned around and came to the artificial food area. Inside the huge freezer, there are neatly stacked white lunch boxes, and there is an open lunch box on the outermost side as a sample. Inside is white thick food.
"Ahem, don't worry, artificial food has no taste, and the nutrition is all prepared according to the needs of the human body, and the shelf life is as long as one year, absolutely high quality and low price." The female receptionist introduced in a low voice, praying at the same time The young customer should stop showing such a shocked and innocent expression. For the first time, she felt that there seemed to be something irrational about the mall she was so proud of.
Luo Xiaolou rubbed his chin and looked at the price below, ten yuan, which is quite economical.
But... it's really hard to have an appetite.
Luo Xiaolou looked back at the natural crops over there with a headache, and said to the female receptionist: "Pack me a week's lunch box, and then pack ten pieces of potatoes." Luo Xiaolou was cruel and bought some potatoes Back with a few beers, he wasn't sure his stomach could take that mushy food indefinitely.
In addition, Luo Xiaolou actually wanted to buy a car, but contrary to the cheap house price, the price of the car is ridiculously expensive. Just like thousands of years ago, the nobles and rich people are still keen to collect all kinds of famous cars, with attractive lines The price of his car is sky-high for Luo Xiaolou.
Of course there were cheap or second-hand cars, but the waitress dutifully reminded him that he couldn't drive without a driver's license. Luo Xiaolou gave up. Although he has a driver's license, the driver's license from thousands of years ago is obviously useless.
Moreover, more than half of the money in his hand has gone down before, and he can no longer spend it like this until he has other sources of income.
Fortunately, the bus still exists, thank God. What made Luo Xiaolou even more satisfied was that taking the bus was actually free of charge.
After asking about the route, Luo Xiaolou prepared to return to his new home. He just found out that the school starts on September 10th. His communicator showed that today was August 2nd, and there was still a month before school started.
He was going to see if he could find a part-time job or something. If he didn't want to eat those artificial foods that made people uncomfortable to look at every day, he had to make money by himself. If he wants to choose natural food, those savings, which seem to be a lot, are not even enough for him to use for two months.
Sure enough, the Luo family just dismissed him casually. Luo Xiaolou sighed, hoping that the short-sighted mother would not suffer too much embarrassment.
There are not many people on the bus, and most of the people who are downcast are probably the bottom-level people who are running around for basic living. Luo Xiaolou looked around energetically, and felt that the car running smoothly and at high speed in the air was really handsome.
Getting off the bus, Luo Xiaolou found the residential area that seemed too ordinary among many high-end residential areas without much effort.
Luo Xiaolou smiled and walked towards his new home. Maybe because of this unlucky rebirth, he can never go back, but with his tenacious ability to survive, he is confident that he will live a good life.
The contented Luo Xiaolou didn't even think that there would be retribution for spending money indiscriminately.
