In a sleazy rental house in the city's largest university town, Fu Liao woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes in confusion.
His head was in extreme pain, as if someone had hit him hard with a hammer, and it was overwhelming. He couldn't help but cover his head and let out an "ah" sound.
I lay on the bed and panted for a long time before gradually regaining my composure.
He poured a swig of water into his mouth and breathed heavily.
I just had a dream that seemed like reality. It was not a nightmare, but... extremely weird!
He seemed to have made a magical deal with the strange man in his dream, exchanging one month of his life for a bottle of magical potion.
"Well, dreams are just dreams after all."
Fu Liaoyi smiled dejectedly.
Ever since he broke up with his girlfriend, life seemed to have lost its meaning, and the pain had completely torn him apart.
He lay flat in this rental house for a week, his whole body filled with the smell of decaying garbage.
"I'm so crazy!"
However, the next second, he saw the bottle of water placed next to the bed!
That bottle, with no label and delicate packaging, was a mysterious liquid like perfume, reflecting crystal clear light in the sunlight.
He clearly remembered that the weird man handed this bottle of water into his hand!
That voice still echoes in my ears, bringing an inexplicable sense of trust.
"As long as your girlfriend, no... ex-girlfriend touches this bottle of water, she will fall in love with you again."
"It doesn't matter what method you use, you can let her drink it, you can pour it on her face, as long as there is skin contact."
My heart is beating wildly.
"Could that dream... be true?!
"
"As long as she drinks this bottle of water..."
"Everything can be done again!"
He suddenly sat up from the bed, his eyes widened.
My mood suddenly cheered up, just like riding a roller coaster, first going up, and then going down.
Ups and downs!
…
After spending a while, I took a shower, shaved off my beard with a razor, and found a piece of clean clothes in the cabinet.
During the whole process, Fu Liaoyi's mood became more and more wonderful, and he even hummed a tune.
There was some mysterious power that made him think that this bottle of mysterious liquid was real and effective.
It is absolutely impossible to cheat! Absolutely!
In fact, there aren't any very good clothes in the cupboard. I usually work as a delivery boy and run around all day long in a smelly sweat. Wearing very good clothes is really a waste.
But that job pays quickly!
If you work for more than ten hours a day, as long as you are familiar with the road conditions and take a few more orders at the same time, you can earn more than the white-collar workers in the company!
It's hard for a poor boy like him with no education and no skills to do other jobs as compared to sitting in an office, right?
Fu Liao was thinking wildly and searched in the cabinet for a long time. He only found a gray T-shirt, which was relatively clean.
This dress was a birthday gift from my girlfriend.
I remember she once said that she looked very handsome and cool in this dress!
Just wear this one.
"Hehe" a happy smile filled his face, and he began to dream about what he would name his children in the future.
After dressing up, I picked up the delicate little bottle with a little uneasiness and nervousness and walked out the door.
For the safety of his girlfriend, he carefully licked a small sip of the mysterious liquid in the bottle. It seemed to have no taste or dizziness, as if it was just ordinary pure water.
"It doesn't look like a drug."
Fu Liaoyi had a flash of doubt in his heart, but soon put it down.
That's a store called "Wish". The owner of the store must make a huge promise, which is more effective than the words of the President of the United States! Since the store owner promised that this bottle of liquid is effective, what else is there to doubt?
He risked his life for his own destiny!
…
There are a total of 15 universities located in Fukuyama University Town, and the number of students plus faculty and staff may be as many as 200,000!
The cost-effectiveness of food delivery here is quite high.
Because most schools do not allow takeaways to enter the school, you can just put the takeaways on the shelves at the school entrance, which can save a lot of trouble.
Every time Fu Liaoyi comes here to deliver food, he wears a helmet and wraps himself up tightly.
After all, it would be quite embarrassing for my girlfriend’s classmates to see that I was just a food delivery person...
It’s quite strange to say this. Students’ spending power is actually higher than that of white-collar workers, and they eat takeout every day.
Where did they get the money?
There are indeed many rich people in big cities!
That’s not right, isn’t my girlfriend quite good at spending money?
Fu Liaoyi was excited and had random thoughts in his mind.
Because I am eager to realize my wish, my heart starts to beat faster!
He and his girlfriend have kissed and hugged each other for so many years, but they have not taken the last step because the other party always said "it is best to stay after marriage."
In fact, there is another reason - he has a little bit of inferiority, so why can't he work as a delivery boy for the rest of his life?
Facing the future, he is actually a little confused. He is 24 years old, which is not old at all, but he is no longer that naive and naive age. After so many years after graduating from high school, he has no career or stable job.
People like him are probably the most ordinary people among all living beings.
"No matter what, things will get better in the future." Fu Liaoyi encouraged himself, "Even if you don't have much money, you can still live happily."
Now the contact information has been blocked and the phone cannot be reached, but he knows which school his girlfriend is in. If he searches carefully, he might be able to find her.
As long as she touches this bottle of water, everything can start again.
…
"If you want to reconcile, you have to buy some small gifts."
Last month's salary had just been paid. Since he had been lying flat for a long time, it was less than half of the original salary, but it was enough to buy a piece of clothing and a pair of shoes.
He remembered the girl's shoe size clearly.
The last time I bought a pair of pink Nike shoes, I was scolded for a while because they looked so tacky.
This time, I have to buy a pair that is more fashionable and good-looking.
When Fu Liao thought of this, he couldn't help but smile. He picked up his mobile phone and wanted to call the very familiar number. But he thought that if he called, he would be hung up directly, so he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"Should we buy gifts first or reconcile first? I really want to reconcile quickly."
suddenly!
at this time!
He stared at the glass window of a clothing store with his eyes wide open!
A very familiar girl, dressed in colorful clothes, smiling and holding the arm of a young man, was choosing a lace skirt in the store.
The young man was so fat, he looked like he weighed two hundred pounds, but he was surrounded by girls.
Fu Liao stopped dead!
He glanced at the girl, who seemed to be smiling happily.
At this moment, he even forgot to breathe!
He turned his head, fighting back dizziness and tears.
He looked at the T-shirt that he had worn for several years and had been praised as "very handsome", and the pair of sneakers that could not be cleaned no matter how hard they were cleaned.
This scene is so dazzling!
He faintly heard the girl's voice.
"My ex-boyfriend just likes the kind of clothes that are very old-fashioned and wants to wrap himself up tightly. Do you think the clothes worn by a woman in her forties or fifties are ridiculous?"
"That's the man who delivers the courier? Why did you fall in love with him at that time?"
The girl said: "I was still in high school at that time. He was young and had nothing... Now he has no savings at all and has never even gone to college, but I am studying for a master's degree."
"You can't blame me for breaking up now, right? Okay, okay, don't talk about my ex-boyfriend!"
Fu Liaoyi stood there blankly... looking at a luxury car parked on the roadside and the bunch of car keys hanging on the fat man's waistband.
Scenes from the past are coming back one after another.
The whole person's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his body was trembling slightly.
The heartbreaking pain seemed to tear his whole body apart!
Obviously, I bought the key to happiness from the "Wish" shop.
But suddenly, I found that there was a cliff road ahead!
There are really big differences between people,
It starts out vigorously, but eventually calms down.
Some people are willing to be peaceful and spend their lives with each other; others are not willing to be peaceful, and then forget each other in the world.
He is not a fool!
He had already had a premonition!
I just keep lying to myself, looking for excuses, and looking for excuses for the other party!
His blood surged, and he suppressed his anger, his whole body trembling.
The girl and the fat man walked out of the store arm in arm.
They were addicted to the world of two people and did not notice Fu Liaoyi.
The two sides walked straight past each other, like two parallel lines that never intersected.
"Boss, here's a pack of cigarettes, cheaper ones." Fu Liaoyi almost unconsciously moved to a canteen and squeezed out a few words from his throat.
"10 yuan." The boss glanced at him and said.
Every family has a sutra that is difficult to recite. Sympathy? Come here with sympathy!
As soon as Fu Liao paid the money, he started to smoke.
cough.
Then he opened the bottle of water and poured it on his face.
There is no feeling at all, only coldness, the coldness coming from deep inside.
He wanted to take a step forward, but he didn't know where to go, so he just found a flower bed and sat down.
Before I knew it, it started to drizzle.
His face was wet and even his clothes were soaked.
The streets were busy with traffic and people were coming and going, and he just watched and watched.
Some people laugh, some cry, most people have expressionless faces and are hurrying on their way, like all living beings, like people with long lives.
A taxi stopped in front, the passengers got out and left in a hurry.
Through the taxi's rearview mirror, Fu Liaoyi saw himself being soaked in the rain. He couldn't tell the difference between his nose and tears and the rain.
Then he laughed.
"That person looks like a dog."
…
…
…
"Look, I exchanged a bottle of free water for one month of his life. Is that a huge profit?"
"I knew he would throw this bottle of water in his face... The transaction is a win-win situation. He got the answer and I got the benefit. Without this bottle of water, he doesn't know how long he would have deceived himself!"
Wang Hao was very satisfied with his first transaction and couldn't help bragging to his artificial intelligence classmate Xiao Ai.
The evil [End of Reincarnation] twisted his body, feeling that this transaction was a huge profit, and his neutral and chaotic stance was fully satisfied.
Xiao Ai was silent. This mysterious metaphysical method is naturally feasible if you want to calculate it, but...it requires mobilizing the ultra-large-scale calculation function of the core computer, which requires paying a relatively high price.
What's more, the captain will never admit that using metaphysical methods requires paying a higher cost.
She said nonchalantly: "What if your prediction fails? That bottle of water is of no real use. What if Fu Liaoyi really poured the bottle of water on her girlfriend?"
Wang Hao touched his chin and said: "The reputation of the store is the most important! If Fu Liaoyi really does this, we can only find a way to make the woman fall in love with him again, and then we will bear huge losses. But this kind of thing is not impossible
Did it happen..."
"I see." Xiao Ai felt a little unreasonable about the huge risk of losing the watermelon by picking up some broken sesame seeds.
But the great captain had a great time.
"But your current one-month lifespan is of no real use. A cup of coffee costs 5 yuan. Even if you get a full human lifespan, it is not even an F-class rare item, let alone only one month.
."
Wang Hao explained: "Xiao Ai, a loss of 5 yuan can buy me happiness and a story, isn't it enough? I saved an ordinary person and told him not to become a licking dog.
Isn’t it immeasurable?”
"Fu Liao used to be a licking dog every day, and he was very happy. Now he will never lick randomly. He is only 24 years old, and he still has a lot of youth to fight for his own life. From now on, he will not do it.
Night."
Classmate Xiao Ai said: "But this kind of thing is of little significance, because it happens every moment in human civilization, and it will not interfere with the process of history. Passionate love is not too precious.
Things are just instinctive."
"Then what do you think is precious? In addition to saving human civilization, is there any other answer?"
This time Xiao Ai rarely said something normal: "Between people, long-term companionship is more precious."
Wang Hao touched his chin and muttered: "I understand, it turns out you want to be my mother! You talk about great things all day long, isn't this just like being my mother?"
Classmate Xiao Ai was choked by him and stood there in a daze, facing the white mist.
She was trying to discern whether what she had just done was to be the captain's mother?
…
After playing here, Wang Hao was tired, so he took off his helmet and prepared to play again tomorrow.
He saw Xiaoyue sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan". The expression on her face was tangled, she was obviously assuming the role of a certain female character, and she looked very cute wearing white socks on her feet.
Lao Wang couldn't help but joked: "Xiaoyue, come here quickly, I will share an interesting story with you."
"It can't be a horror story!"
After he told the whole story, Xiaoyue also became interested: "Is that game so interesting? You finally stopped fighting monsters?"
"Starting to become a human being? It sounds like it's getting fun."
After all, she is not very interested in things like strange rules, monsters, ghosts, monsters, sore-bearing mothers, and turtle spirits.
She is so timid!
Wang Hao also sat on the sofa: "I have a question for you, what is precious between people?"
"Well... let me think about it... companionship, long-term companionship is very precious and important!"
Have you heard this answer just now? I always feel like something is wrong!
"I understand, it turns out you want to be my wife." Lao Wang used to make fun of girls.
A smile filled Xiaoyue's face, and her crescent-like eyes flashed: "Be careful, I'll hit you!"
…
…
Online again!
Start your second business venture in life!
"Good morning, Captain! Are you going to save humans or dogs today?"
"Saving licking dogs is also saving humans."
Looking at his 999,995 capital and "one month of human lifespan", Wang Hao fell into deep thought.
The amount of 999995 can be converted into any rare items and high-tech creations, and the purchasing power is still quite strong.
I'm currently losing 5 yuan, so it's not a big problem.
He thought: "What's more, I can sell this month's lifespan. I can make money by selling it casually. A month's human lifespan is not valuable in the interstellar era, but it is still valuable in modern times.
!”
In the crystal ball, Wang Hao chose a series of labels such as "rich", "dying", and "seriously ill".
A bright light flashed, and a random lucky person was picked again.
A few seconds later.
"Dongdongdong~" The door of the shop was knocked again.
Wang Hao rubbed his hands, looking forward to it.
…
The person who came here looked swollen, his limbs were weak, and his whole body was lean. At first glance, he looked like a waning man.
It was obvious that the long-lasting illness had almost completely wiped out this guest’s vitality.
He is 58 years old and lives in the same country as Fu Liao.
His mind was still awake, and he looked around with a vigilant gaze: In the dark-colored room, a man and a woman sat behind the tea table, their faces somewhat vague. On the surrounding shelves, he was displayed
Mysterious objects beyond recognition.
The store called "Wish" has always paid attention to fair transactions and will not deliberately deceive people who are not clear-headed.
Hong Botao, 58 years old, is a business tycoon who has been in the shopping mall for decades. As a rich man worth more than 5 billion, he knows that there are supernatural phenomena in the world and is deeply fascinated by them.
However, his illness was too difficult to cure.
cancer!
After years of treatment, the cancer cells have spread throughout the body. All kinds of targeted drugs, surgeries, and all the necessary methods have been used, but to no avail.
Now I just rely on the highest level of medical treatment to hold on for a while.
In fact, he has also sought help from major supernatural organizations. Even if he pays 1 billion, 2 billion, or even 4 billion, it would be good to live a few more years.
But manpower is sometimes exhausted, and even the leaders of major supernatural organizations will die of illness, let alone a business tycoon.
"This is..." Hong Botao suppressed the anxiety and vigilance in his heart and asked in a low voice.
"Hello, sir. This is a place where wishes are sold. Everything can be bought and sold, as long as you can afford the price." The captain said in a dull and magnetic voice, "This gentleman's
My complexion doesn’t look very good.”
"Do you have any wishes?"
"As long as you can afford the price, we will realize your wish."
