Chapter 41 A boring, but far-reaching chapter(1/2)
The woman's outfit was similar to what she wore in the bar that day. She was wearing a wrinkled wide shirt, elderly sweatpants, and the pair of slippers on her feet, and she still had a cigarette in her mouth.
At this time, she was carrying two largest plastic bags and preparing to walk out of the supermarket. Lu Yuan subconsciously glanced at the things in the plastic bag, almost all of which were wine and snacks.
The woman stared at Lu Yuan with her godless eyes: "I'll buy something."
"Well, goodbye." Lu Yuan didn't want to have too much interaction with this guy. He responded casually, and walked over to the other party and into the supermarket.
Next, Lu Yuan started his first real shopping in his life.
Bread, compressed cookies, peanut butter
Lu Yuan looked at various foods, compared to their price, and chose which one has higher calories and which one has sufficient sugar. Speaking of which, he enjoyed this feeling quite well.
In fact, he didn't even realize that he was so concerned about "shopping". When choosing a certain bread, he would consider the factor of "taste".
It seems that he is no longer just accustomed to linear thinking, but instead prefers a sentimental ‘person’.
After about twenty minutes, he finally finished all the food for the next week, then paid the money and walked out of the supermarket.
But the second after he walked out of the supermarket, he was stunned for a moment because he found that the sloppy woman was sitting on the road guardrail facing the supermarket, smoking with her left hand and wine with her right hand, staring at the supermarket door with her eyes fixedly. As soon as he came out, she collided with her eyes.
"What are you doing with this stinky woman?" Lu Yuan muttered in his heart. However, as he said before, Lu Yuan didn't want to have too much contact with this guy, so after a glance, Lu Yuan immediately looked away, then quickly turned around and walked towards his home.
Just two steps
"Hey!" The woman really started calling herself.
Lu Yuan ignored her and continued to walk.
"Hey, can that guy who starved to himself through the game, do you help me?" the woman shouted again.
"No!" Lu Yuan responded weakly, and his pace accelerated a little more.
"I bought too many things and couldn't carry them."
Lu Yuan responded with silence.
"I'll pay 300 yuan"
The woman did not shout this sentence, but just said it in a low voice, just like talking to herself, but Lu Yuan's steps suddenly stopped.
"Hey, brother, you have to be strong, it's only 300 yuan." Lu Yuan clenched his hands tightly and roared at him in his heart.
Ten minutes later, the bar door was pushed open.
"Where do you put the things?" Lu Yuan shouted with a big bag in his hand, but his face looked like he was not afraid of power.
"Oh, just put it on the bar." The woman pointed casually.
Lu Yuan immediately walked over and waved the things in his hand upwards.
"Money" turned around and stretched out his hand to the woman.
"Oh~ wait a moment."
Although this woman is sloppy, she should be very rich, which can be seen from the decoration of this bar.
I saw her sucking in her pocket, and finally, she piled up a lot of wrinkled banknotes on Lu Yuan's hand.
"No~"
Lu Yuan looked at the money in his hand. There was a hundred-dollar bill in it, which had been rubbed to the point where he was "even if he was afraid of leaking his butt". He not only sighed that the world of rich people is really wonderful.
But no matter what, even if you really get shit, it will be money, so Lu Yuan's evaluation of this woman has slightly improved.
"Do you drink something?" the woman asked again.
"Uh" Lu Yuan is based on the principle of taking advantage of the situation: "Cola."
The woman nodded, walked to the back of the bar, flipped through for a while, and finally took out a bottle of Coke from a cabinet, poured it into a cup, and added a few more ice cubes.
Lu Yuan took the cup, took a sip, and made a refreshing sound.
"What's your name?" the woman asked inadvertently.
Lu Yuan frowned. Speaking of which, this woman was the first real human to come into contact with.
"Lu Yuan" he hesitated for a moment and finally responded.
Since you have come to the real world, you can't keep yourself in a small house all the time. People always have to communicate and contact this world.
So, "Where are you?" Lu Yuan asked along the question.
"Yao Xiaoxin." The woman replied.
"Uh" Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, thinking that this name sounded so cautious, but why did this person be careless?
However, nothing appeared on his face. In this way, the two of them sat face to face, smoking cigarettes, drinking Coke, but they did not find any other topics.
After a while, Yao Xiaoxin seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little too silent, so she took out a remote control and pressed it.
Immediately afterwards, the LCD TV on the wall lit up. There seemed to be a piece of news playing on it.
[The press conference of Ark Group for the next quarter will be held on the 30th of this month]
[Ark Group spoke, vicious bugs within the game have been basically eliminated at this stage]
[The next batch of high-performance gaming warehouses of Ark Group are under development, and the release date has not been announced yet]
After listening to several news, they were basically related to Fang Ark, but Lu Yuan listened with relish, but Yao Xiaoxin seemed a little bored, so she changed the channel.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment: "You don't seem to pay much attention to Ark Company."
Yao Xiaoxin also nodded directly: "Yes, actually, I hate this company very much."
"Oh?" Lu Yuan seemed to be interested: "Why?"
"I don't know why this is." Xiao Xin responded: "Maybe I simply think that the game [Ark] is very unreal."
"Unreal? Don't you play the ark?"
"No play," Yao Xiaoxin replied. This answer surprised Lu Yuan slightly. You must know that there are very few people in this world who do not play Ark.
Yao Xiaoxin obviously hadn't finished speaking yet, and she took a sip of cigarettes: "However, I just don't like Ark a little, and it's not against it. After all, Ark Group has brought a lot of convenience to the world, industrial production and full machinery automation. Last year, Ark announced a 'building unmanned assembly line'. Now it only takes dozens of people and less than two months to build a building."
As she said that, she seemed to smile a little ridiculously.
"More and more laborers are replaced by machines and fewer jobs. In this case, if there is no [Ark] game, I really can't imagine what those without a job will do every day. So, the Ark Group is gradually changing the world, and it is still a very balanced change."
"Yeah" Lu Yuan was silent for a while: "So, the Ark Group seems to be quite good."
"Yes, it's pretty good. But I just don't like it because it's so perfect, and something that's so perfect is not a good thing."
Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, thinking that this woman's idea was really extreme, but he was quite happy because he didn't like the Ark Group either.
Ark created one world after another, and then arranged a destiny that could not be changed and could only be enjoyed by players. How could Lu Yuan not dislike this behavior?
"You said, if one day someone blows up the Ark Group, what will this world become?" Lu Yuan asked quippedly.
"Well" Yao Xiaoxin thought for a while: "I think this world will become the one from a hundred years ago. People all need to work, and the pace of the world slows down. But it would be good if that were the case. Although it would be a little tired, at least it would not be like now, and everyone would be in a virtual world."
"Haha, okay." Lu Yuan smiled: "I hope the person who can blow up the Ark Group will arrive soon."
"Ah?" Yao Xiaoxin heard this and then she felt a very uncomfortable expression: "Forget it, it's annoying, but if someone really wants to trouble the Ark Group, then I won't have a free life."
Lu Yuan seemed to have misunderstood this sentence: "Ah? Someone is looking for Ark Company. What does it have to do with whether you can live a leisurely life?"
Yao Xiaoxin smiled helplessly: "Of course it's related, but this is my business, you don't have to care."
"Okay." Lu Yuanjian didn't want to say it, and didn't ask much.
In this way, amid the changing voice of advertisements, the conversation between the two fell into silence again.
Soon, Lu Yuan finished drinking the coke, he also said goodbye to Yao Xiaoxin, and walked out of the bar.
On the way home, Lu Yuan seemed to have always thought about Yao Xiaoxin's comments on Fang Ark, and the sentence "If someone asks trouble with the Ark Group, I will not have a leisurely life~"
Unconsciously, a light suddenly shot on Lu Yuan's face.
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up towards the direction of the light
They were two low-rise homestays. At this time, before the sunset set, the brightest light shot through the cracks between the two small buildings, which coincidentally enveloped Lu Yuan.
Looking into the distance along this gap, you can clearly see a huge tower penetrated into the sky.
Lu Yuan knew that the tower was the headquarters of the Ark Company, and it was the tallest, richest and most powerful place in the world.
Lu Yuan just looked at it, not knowing what was thinking in his mind. After a while, he raised the hand that was not carrying food, stretched out his thumb and index finger, and put a "pistol" posture towards the tower that could be looked up.
"Bang~!"
Two lips touched
Just then.
"Drip!Drip!"
A series of car sounds.
"Hey, what are you doing in the middle of the station road? Get out of here!"
Lu Yuan turned around and saw a car behind him. The driver inside stretched out his head and shouted at him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
