Chapter 15 The Difficult Job Search
clean.
This is the first impression in Zhou Ming's mind.
The streets, overpasses, houses and roads in front of you are extremely clean and spotless. Under the same pure sunlight, it is like crystals of various colors, and the smooth surface reflects a brilliant luster.
The second is quiet.
There is almost no noise on the side of the road, no sound of the car engine, horns, and music of the shops. Passersby are also very polite, rarely talk, and try not to make loud noises when walking.
There is also an extremely fresh air with a fragrance of plants, tall and magnificent buildings, garden-like green belts, large lawns that are even more neat than football fields, and high-tech that can be seen everywhere, like science fiction movies.
Yes, the technology of this world, just from the perspective of transportation, may be one century ahead of the earth.
Magnetic levitation tracks are everywhere, with magnetic levitation trains on viaducts, which can carry hundreds of passengers and run around the city, and can reach most of the places the city wants to reach, or go to other cities.
There are also tracks for magnetic levitation cars to drive in the middle and lower floors, and there are wide two-way six lanes. When an elevated road is installed at an intersection, there are almost no traffic lights.
There is also a pedestrian suspension path dedicated to pedestrians. This suspension path is only more than one meter wide, and can be suspended with a skateboard style personal transportation, called "suspended flying board", with a flight speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour. There is also a suspension board transportation tool with ancient bicycle pedals, which can generate electricity through pedals and perform suspended flights. This "suspended bicycle" is not only energy-saving and environmentally friendly, but also exercises, and can be rented at a lower price. It is very popular among middle-aged and elderly people.
There are also advertisements that use three-dimensional projection technology to show the air between tall buildings. Many pedestrians wear "smart communication instruments" that can project the picture on their wrists, glasses on their eyes, etc.... All of them tell Zhou Ming that the magical technology of this world has brought infinite convenience to people's daily lives.
In addition, in this city called "Yaoxing City", the proportion of robots is quite high. There are a large number of solar-powered sweeping robots on the road; there are robot shopping guides who help sell goods in the shop; there are also powerful robot partners around the police who maintain public security; as for the fully automated factories that Zhou Ming did not see, the number of workers required by various robots may be only a few.
While walking, he wandered around the city like a bun for most of the day. Hulu, Zhou Ming was hungry, so he found a place to eat to fill his stomach.
"Drip~"
I swiped my electronic consumption card and bought a bowl of hot udon noodles at a noodle restaurant. I spent 10 credit points, and the amount was large, with some chopped green onions floating on it. The taste was also quite good. I couldn’t tell that this was made by a smart kitchen robot.
In the afternoon, I took the maglev train to travel around the city for a few times and enjoyed the scenery of the whole city. However, when I left the station, I actually bought 36 credit points, which surprised Zhou Ming, who originally thought he would only spend a few credit points. Unexpectedly, these maglev trains were so smart that they could count the distance of each passenger and then billed according to the distance. You can't just take it as you go in.
So Zhou Ming saved a little bit of supper, spent 6 credit points, bought a bag of bread in the store, and spent 2 credit points to buy a bottle of mineral water, and ate a little half full.
After a day, I was tired of shopping. Zhou Ming wanted to find a hotel to rest and sleep and take a hot shower. But after searching for a midnight, he found a cheap hotel with a single room of 50 credits for one night. After walking into this single room, Zhou Ming was surprised. The three-square-meter room was smaller than the area of the cell, and there was no bed. He just lay on the smooth floor and covered it with a blanket and slept. If it weren't for free hot water bathing, he would rather sleep on the street than such a place.
After getting up the next day, I remembered the credit points on the electronic consumption card. I spent less than 400 points in just one day. The remaining money can only last for a few days at most. Zhou Ming’s mind was weakened and he wanted to find a job to stabilize it first, otherwise he would be exhausted and food would be a problem.
However, throughout the day, in this medium-sized city with a population of one million, Zhou Ming was shocked to find that no matter where he was, he could not even see a "recruitment notice" or a job advertisement.
So he went into some stores with a thick face, found the store manager or manager, and asked them if the store was short of people. He wanted to find a job, but the salary was not very high.
"Sorry, this store is not short of people."
"Sorry, this shop won't recruit people."
"No one is recruited, no one is recruited in all positions."
"Boy, you just came up from the lower floor area. You don't know the rules here yet. Let's do this. If you want to find a job, I can help you, but there are conditions." The owner of a smart glasses repair shop lit up when he saw Zhou Ming and said in a charming tone.
"What conditions?" Zhou Ming frowned slightly and asked with his ears.
"Give me the money you have on you, I promise to find a job, and it is a job that is easy to work and well paid." The repair shop owner said, staring at Zhou Ming's top pocket, and a greedy light appeared in his eyes.
"Really?" Zhou Ming smiled slightly and asked.
"Really, really." He nodded, his words becoming a little urgent.
"That……"
Zhou Ming made a move to unzip the zipper, and wanted to take out the money. When the owner of the repair shop looked extremely hot, he reached out to pick it up, and suddenly picked up the cup of tea on the table and walked out, saying to him on the back of his head: "Let me leave this job for others, thank you for your tea."
"Bastard, you dare to fool me!"
The repair shop owner roared in anger. Seeing that Zhou Ming had already walked away, he could only curse at his back: "Dirty mouse in the lower area, you can't find any job. In a few days, you will roll into your dirty sewer!"
Zhou Ming paused, thought for a while, and then continued to move forward.
As expected by the repair shop owner, Zhou Ming still gained nothing in the next three days, and his credit points were spent less than 200 points.
In order to save money, he went to the cheapest poor restaurant and bought a compressed nutritious meal with 5 credits (the taste was exactly the same as the compressed nutritious meal he had eaten in an underground mining area for 18 years); when he was in a hurry, he found a place to urinate and defecate anywhere (it costs money to go to the public toilet, and 1 credit is once); he didn't sleep in a hotel at night, so he lie on a long chair in the park for a night. When it was raining, he would squat under the eaves of the building for a while.
On the fifth day, Zhou Ming, who had asked thousands of stores through various methods, completely lost confidence in finding a job. Moreover, seeing that he was so urgent to find a job, more and more "enthusiastic people" took the initiative or semi-actively expressed their intention to help him and recommended a job to him.
Of course, the prerequisite is: the money in his pocket must be handed over to him (her) as an introduction fee.
Zhou Ming politely declined all these "good intentions". He gradually gave up the idea of finding a job and began to think about what to do so that he could continue to survive after spending his credit points.
"Little guy, how are you looking for a job recently? People in the city have been talking about you these two days, saying that you, a stinky mouse, have not handed over the money yet, and go down obediently... So, I can only be my fat boss and become a hero in this city."
That night, a rare obese man, wearing a large metal chain around his neck, holding a baseball bat, and a few colorful little brothers with dyed hair, came to Zhou Ming, who was sleeping on a park chair. After making this sound, Zhou Ming opened his eyes, immediately sat up from the chair, rubbed his fists and said to them: "Why did you bastards come now? A city with a population of millions have only produced you bastards? Should the public security be so good?"
The fat boss was stunned for the first time, and then furious: "Brothers, fuck him to death! A stinky mouse from the lower layer dares to show off in front of my fat boss? Let me die!"
"Ah!" "Ah!"
"oops!"
"Give me your life, let me go!"
"Stop hitting, stop hitting, please stop hitting!"
More than ten minutes later, seven or eight people, including the fat boss, lay all over the floor and screamed. The fat boss in the lead was the worst. Not only was his hand discounted, his face also had a blue nose and a swollen face. He was beaten into a pig's head, and he begged for mercy.
He was almost venting, and he grabbed the fat boss's hair and dragged him to a long chair. He first used two big-mouthed melon seeds, fanned out two bloody teeth, and then asked some questions.
Two hours later, after asking the answers to most of the questions, Zhou Ming called Fei Boss and others and transferred all the credit points on their bodies to his electronic consumption card (the electronic consumption card needs to be matched with fingerprints when using it, and it is not available to snatch them directly). There were more than 8,000 credit points in total. Then he asked a green hair that was about the same size as him, took off his clothes, and changed his mouse suit (the blue suit provided by the hospital, the citizens of this city called it "rat suit" behind it, and it was also the symbol of those who came in the lower area). He put on this set of clothes that were covered with holes and looked flowing.
The next morning, I spent 200 credit points to take a floating taxi and signed up for a location. In the 99th floor hall of a 119-story building in the city center, Zhou Ming finally found a place to find a job.
Or, it should be said that you can "buy" to the place where you work.
This place called "Professional Exchange" can be seen on the information panel in the center of the hall.
On the information panel, Zhou Ming saw this information:
