Chapter 1 Entering the wasteland (full version)(3/3)
"You boy!" Wang Shan looked at Wu Hen's back and waved his hand helplessly.
After Wu Hen left, Wang Shan walked towards the classroom.
As soon as he arrived at the stairs, Wang Shan bumped into a girl. She was standing at the teaching building and looking in the direction of the school gate.
"Yang Qin, since you want to give it away, why don't you be brave?" Wang Shan, as the head teacher, has always been very easy-going and not too conservative in his thinking.
"I...I..." Yang Qin hesitated, but couldn't help but stare at the classroom window.
At the window, several men and women were watching, as if waiting to see Yang Qin's joke.
"I'm no longer a young master, why are you so pretentious? Maybe one day the takeout you order will be delivered by him personally. How romantic!" The man with a slender eyebrow and short hair mocked at the window.
"Say less!" Wang Shan scolded, but then turned his gaze to Yang Qin, "Just do what you think in your heart, don't care what other people say."
When Yang Qin heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable. She raised her face slightly and pretended to be proud: "I'm just going to the studio. Wu Hen and I only have an ordinary classmate relationship!"
Ordinary classmate relationship?
Seeing Yang Qin's attitude, Wang Shan couldn't help but shook his head.
At the beginning of the school year, Yang Qin shamelessly came to her office, giving her gifts and saying nice things, just to ask her to move her seat to Wu Hen's and make her his deskmate.
As a result, I found out that her family was in a state of poverty, and even a normal farewell was taken into consideration by other people's comments.
It can only be said that little girls are short-sighted.
Based on Wang Shan's understanding of Wu Hen, even without the support of his family, he still can't hide his shine. He will definitely make a name for himself in the future. I hope Yang Qin won't regret it when the time comes.
…
The school is at the junction of the new city and the old city.
In the past, Wu Hen lived in a luxurious silver plate manor, but now he had to pass through an old area, climb a mountain with broken buildings, and hike through an empty abandoned factory area before he could reach his new home.
The new house has only four walls and only one room, so they have to squeeze in their family of four.
My parents started their business from scratch, starting from running a stall.
After wandering around for most of my life, I have returned to the most difficult years. Compared with the past when I was completely poor, I have a mountain of debt.
Usually, my parents don't come back until around 11 o'clock at night.
But today is Father's Day, and the family has agreed to have dinner together, so Wu Hen doesn't have the intention to stay in school and say goodbye to his classmates one by one.
Pushing open the door and entering, the aroma was already wafting through the room.
A pot of bamboo shoots has been stewed, and Wu Yingting, the leader, is sorting out the goods that have been piled up for half a room. He is probably going to leave the stall again after finishing the meal in a hurry.
"Dad, there might be a thunderstorm today, so I won't go out of the stall. I owe so much money, so I won't miss out on your wages for the night." Wu Hen walked in and said.
After all, Wu Hen still took the initiative to help Wu Yingting organize the merchandise.
"Your fifth uncle is urging me hard, saying that he wants to send his children to college," Wu Yingting said.
In fact, after his bankruptcy, major creditors and banks were concerned about Wu Yingting's health and advised him to eat well and not have any psychological burden.
On the contrary, the faces of those relatives and friends who had made fortune with my father were the most hateful.
It's obviously an investment, there are profits and losses, but when you lose, you ask for money.
"You are a powerful figure in Licheng after all, so why can't you start a live broadcast to sell goods to pay off your debt? How long will it take for you to earn all this hard-earned money before you can repay it?" Wu Hen asked.
"I don't want to do those things, so I'd better start over from the field I'm familiar with. Times are actually changing very fast, and people's needs are also changing. I started from the bottom to explore, and the hard work will only last a few years. I will make a comeback, and
I still miss the old days of selling small commodities at a stall, which was very fulfilling and simple." Wu Yingting said with a smile.
"Will others say you are pretending to be pitiful?" Wu Hen asked.
"Definitely, but what do I care about?" Wu Yingting's mentality was quite good. After all, he had failed in business more than once or twice. He glanced at his son and couldn't help but ask, "How is the school?
Are you being looked down upon?"
"Fortunately, after all, I have not revealed my identity as a young master easily in the past. Of course, there are also children of your business partners in the class. They are more gloating about others' misfortunes, so it's time to stop interacting with them." Wu Hen also said nonchalantly.
"If you don't have contact, don't contact me. By the way, something was sent to you just now. Did you shop online again? It looks quite high-end. If you have some private money, save some money." Wu Yingting said.
"Has the stuff arrived so quickly?" Wu Hen looked surprised and found that there was actually a carbon fiber box in the house.
Fortunately, Wu Yingting didn't open it. If he found out that there was a virtual helmet inside, he would definitely object!
In Wu Yingting's view, virtual technology is not yet mature, and people who become test players have strong sequelae. He strongly opposes Wu Hen becoming a guinea pig for technology!
"Husband, Yu Yu and I bought your favorite braised pork. Hey... Xiaohen is back too. It's so early today. It's good that the whole family hasn't sat down to eat together for a long time." A woman held a hand with a child.
The girl walked in.
It is Wu Hen's mother Yu Yi and sister Yu Yu.
It has been more than half a year since I went bankrupt.
For the first time in half a year, the family appeared at the same table.
"Happy Father's Day!" Wu Hen was the first to raise a glass in tribute to his father Wu Yingting.
Yu Yi and Yu Yu also raised their small cups to celebrate this rare meal.
Wu Yingting was still smiling at first, but as she smiled, the hand holding the chopsticks began to shake violently.
He wanted to say something more humorous to lighten the atmosphere, but he saw his grown-up son, his wife who was with him through hardships again, and his daughter who still needed to be taken care of...
The words reached his lips but he choked up.
The eye circles suddenly turned red.
"I drank liquor secretly again. I think I'll choke you. Hurry up and eat the food!" Yu Yi knew how to cover up for her husband and hurriedly helped him pick up the food.
"I'm choking, I'm choking to the point of tears. Eat it together, and you guys should eat it together."
The family has never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas, but these dishes of vegetables and braised pork are more delicious than any meal they have ever had before.
Wu Hen actually saw his father secretly wiping away tears.
He deliberately lowered his head to eat the food, leaving this old man with a trace of dignity...
His father has always been like a majestic mountain in his heart, unmoving. Until today when he saw his eyes wet with tears and his helpless expression, Wu Hen knew that it was his turn to support him.
This is home.
…
After dinner, my parents braved the risk of a thunderstorm and continued to go out to the stall.
My younger sister also attends free tutoring classes provided by the community.
Wu Hen made an excuse and said that he would not be coming back to his classmate's house where he was staying overnight today.
But in fact, Wu Hen went to the basement of the old building and rented a grocery room from the uncle next door. He planned to enter the virtual world tonight!
Close the door.
The helmet was taken apart.
Wu Hen looked at this technologically advanced virtual helmet and couldn't help but become curious.
What is the world inside like?
I don’t know why everyone who has been in it won’t easily reveal what this second world looks like.
He gently put on the helmet and turned on the device.
"Hello, Wu Hen, are you sure you want to enter Huangchen?" the AI's voice sounded from the helmet.
Wu Hen took a deep breath.
There are endless possibilities in this field. Even if you may be a guinea pig, whether it is your parents working as a stall or your sister going to school, the environment they live in has the risk of being killed by disasters.
Their family actually doesn't care about being rich or famous. What they care about is that the family can live together peacefully.
The old city and old buildings cannot withstand the natural disasters that are becoming more and more severe nowadays.
Only by returning to Xincheng to live on a silver platter, otherwise misfortune will still befall his family.
There will be a financial subsidy for participation, a one-time amount of 30,000 yuan, and it will be even higher for subsequent participation.
If you find a Yuanyou mineral deposit in the virtual world, you can sell it for 100,000 yuan!
Must rush!!
"Confirm to enter the wasteland!"
"Please close your eyes and relax as you normally would when sleeping," said the AI embedded in the helmet.
Wu Hen followed the instructions of the AI, and soon he felt a warmth, as if his whole head was soaked in some kind of warm oxygen liquid...
