Chapter 119 The Me I Used to Be

If you just look at the name, you still don’t know what story this game is about.

After opening the game, the game's starting interface is quite simple. On the left is a rather dilapidated rental house, and on the right are three titles: "Production Members", "Start Game", and "Exit Game".

Then it was gone...

On the other hand, the picture on the left looks quite delicate, and the artist should have worked hard on it.

But this is not the best picture in the entire game...

With full of doubts, Wang Yao clicked "Start Game".

The screen dims and a paragraph appears in the center of the screen.

"Because my family is poor and I have to support my two younger siblings in school, I really can't afford my college tuition. As the eldest brother, I have to give up my admission letter and go south to work in a big city..."

A boy carrying a schoolbag walked out of the train station. There were various attributes of the character in the upper right corner. Each attribute was average to above average, except that his wallet was empty.

"Is this a development game?"

Wang Yao raised her eyebrows, immediately interested.

The task on the left reminds her to remit money to her family on time every month to subsidize her family.

There happened to be a few aunts with armbands handing out flyers next to the train station, with the word "recruitment" vaguely written on them.

Wang Yao controls the protagonist to walk over, and a dialogue automatically starts.

After a brief exchange, she learned that there was a job market not far away, and that she could also take some odd jobs to earn money at Auntie's place.

After looking at the flyers, most of them were for jobs like moving bricks, washing dishes, and being security guards.

However, he couldn't take the next few. Some required professional skills, such as accounting; some did not have corresponding skill points, such as security guards and dishwashers...

There are a lot of flaws, but this is a game after all, and it is understandable to make some changes for the sake of gameplay.

After looking at these jobs and hesitating for a moment, she decided to try her luck in the job market.

Relying on the city map I got from my aunt, I ran through a narrow street and soon arrived at the door of the job market.

It's quite lively here, with fortune tellers, stalls playing chess, and people buying all kinds of snacks.

Entering the talent market, I chatted with the staff for a while. I thought this young lady was quite enthusiastic until she handed over a test paper.

Wang Yao: "..."

She has never been to the job market. Are there still exams for recruitment there?

But fortunately, the above are all basic math problems. With her graduate level from a key university, they are not difficult for her at all.

But when registering the information, Wang Yao discovered that her character had almost no skills.

Come to think of it, what will a newly graduated high school student do?

The young lady asked him to go home and wait for news, but the protagonist couldn't wait.

You must find a way to make some money first!

In a blink of an eye, Wang Yao saw the colorful job advertisements on the left, which were almost exactly the same as those posted by Auntie, and were even worse than those posted by Auntie.

The commission here is 10%, but the aunt’s commission is only 5%!

No way, in order to make a few more dollars, she controlled the character Hengchihengchi to return to the train station and took over the task of moving bricks from the aunt.

What Wang Yao didn't expect was that this seemingly ordinary brick-moving game was actually a hidden mini-game. Players need to control the character to move the most bricks within the specified time. The more bricks they move, the more they earn.
p>

It's just that the character moved for a long time and only earned 130 yuan.

After coming out of the construction site, there was not much left in the satiety points. There happened to be a lunch box seller at the entrance of the construction site. It cost ten yuan a portion and was enough to fill up.

After eating and drinking, it was dusk. Taking advantage of this time, Wang Yao decided to take a look around the entire city.

She passed by a park and found that she could sleep on the benches. The bottles and waste paper boxes scattered beside the trash can could be collected and sold to the grandmother at the accessory collection station next to them. However, every time they were picked up, the cleanliness of the clothes would decrease.

There is a laundry in the street where the scrap collection station is located, next to it is a car repair shop and a mobile phone store, and next to it is a hotel.

She went in and inquired about the price. A multi-person room cost forty yuan a night, and a single room was even more expensive.

Looking at the assets in his pocket, Wang Yao suddenly felt that sleeping in a park was not an unacceptable thing...

Going further east are some shops, including bun shops, snack shops, post offices, and even real estate companies...

Is it okay to buy a house in this game?

This gives people the feeling of a real city, with all its internal organs.

The city map was a bit big, and it was getting dark before she could even walk around it. She slept on the bench as planned, and the next day she saw that the character's spirit level was a little low.

Come to think of it, sleeping outside makes you feel better.

I bought some pancakes and fruit to cushion my stomach, and then ran to the construction site to continue moving bricks.

But at this moment, an accident happened.

The contractor at the construction site saw that he was a young man and thought he was easy to bully, so he blatantly took half of his wages.

Of course the protagonist was dissatisfied and argued with him, only to be beaten up by the people around him.

There is no other way, the protagonist can only walk out with half of his salary and dragging his scarred body.

"Isn't that too bullying?"

Wang Yao was furious, but she had no choice but to secretly swear never to come to this miserable place again.

But if you don’t move bricks, what can the protagonist do?

Have you been picking up trash in the park?

He lasted like this for a whole day, but in the end he had no choice but to return to the construction site.

But this time it was even more unlucky. Half of the money was taken away and my finger was injured.

I went to a small clinic for treatment, but my work was wasted all day again.

Wang Yao gritted her teeth and felt a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time in the game.

But life must go on.

One day after moving bricks, the protagonist met an uncle who did not bring any money while eating. Out of good intentions, Wang Yao chose to lend money to the uncle.

Unexpectedly, this uncle was the person in charge of the construction site. When the protagonist went to move bricks again the next day, the uncle recognized him and said happily: "From now on, you can work directly here. Don't go to those intermediaries. Work with those over there."

If my foreman says my name, I can save a lot of agency fees!"

Originally, Wang Yao was very happy after reading the first half of the sentence, but the second half made her extremely angry: Half of her money these days was stolen by that guy!

The plot in the game continues.

The uncle saw the protagonist's embarrassment, frowned and asked the whole story, and then became furious, took the protagonist to find the foreman, and scolded him.

The previously arrogant and domineering foreman was now as obedient as a pug, and could only nod and bow in the face of reprimands. Not only did he apologize profusely, but he also returned the money he had swallowed.

Wang Yao felt happy.

It's a pity that the game has restrictions and you can't slap him twice, otherwise Wang Yao really wants to relieve his anger by himself.

When you get the money, your pocket suddenly becomes full.

To celebrate, Wang Yao went a little extravagant, buying a drawer of steamed buns and spending the night in a single room in the hotel.

While sleeping, she stared at the panel in a daze.

After all, moving bricks was just a temporary solution. The pressure at home made him destined to find a job that made more money.
