Chapter 1403 In Modern Day 1
I’m an ordinary company employee. My greatest joy every day is that I can clock off on ti.
This isn’t sothing that can be realized often, because it’s only from working overti that I can receive a higher salary. Only from doing so can I gain a little sense of security.
In this aspect, my boss isn’t that bad. At the very least, he’ll pay for overti, unlike the company next door who only knows how to shout slogans. All they do is pump up the employees without sparing a single penny.
Based on my observations, they aren’t far from closing down, because their boss is already trying to sell off second-hand computers on his WeChat Monts.
This isn’t sothing I discovered. I’m not friends with their boss on WeChat. This cos from the mouths of the employees.
In this world, it’s sexist to say that there’s gossip where there are won present. Instead, there’s gossip wherever there are people.
Of course, I don’t have absolute confidence in those words. There was once a ti when a dog and a cat made feel that they were watching us humans with amusent and gossiping.
Just like now, the golden retriever that always appears near my office building is sitting at the entrance.
Seriously, looking at the grooming of its fur, it doesn’t look like it doesn’t have a master. How can soone walk a dog without a leash? This kind of person shouldn’t be rearing pets. They have no morals at all! Eh, there’s a necklace around its neck, a rope, and the end of the rope is in its mouth... As I mumble, I recall of an emoticon that has been trending online:
It has strong self-control!
I snort and cast my eyes beyond the glass doors. The sky is so dark, and large beads of raindrops puml through the stuffy humid environnt and crash into the ground.
F*ck, it rained so quickly! At this mont, I want to question God.
It hadn’t been easy for to get off work on ti today. To think that I would encounter a storm; furthermore, I didn’t bring an umbrella with !
Back when I was in the office, I noticed that it was dark and gloomy outside and knew that a storm was coming, but I thought I had enough ti to get to the bus stop.
By the ti my bus arrives close to my rented apartnt, the rain should’ve stopped or be reduced to a drizzle. After all, it’s sumr and the rain cos and goes quickly.
I can’t help but raise my middle finger at God. Helpless, I turn my head to look at the golden retriever by the door and casually say, “You didn’t bring an umbrella as well?”
That was just a self-deprecating comnt of mine, but the next mont I’m shocked.
The big golden retriever rolls its eyes at .
It rolled its eyes at .
Its eyes.
I knew it. This dog has so humanity in it! I look away and mutter.
I examine the storm outside again, wondering if I should just run to the bus stop.
I sniff and, considering how I haven’t recovered fully from my cold, I hold back the urge.
Sigh, as a grown man, isn’t it normal to only bring a phone, a transportation card, and a key access card?
Who would carry a bag and have an umbrella inside for no reason?
These days, I don’t even keep change on .
Forget it. I’ll just go back to the office and kill ti. I’ll browse through websites and wait until the rain becos a drizzle before I leave. If it really doesn’t pan out as I expect, then I’ll order takeout... I sigh and turn to walk to the elevator.
Suddenly, I notice an additional vending machine in one corner of the building lobby.
Soin Coffee? I suddenly feel like drinking sothing.
I did as I thought. With the financial freedom to buy beverages below 10 yuan, I confidently walk over to the vending machine and take a gander at the beverages on sale.
Mizone, Nongfu Spring, Master Kong ice tea, and Jasmine tea... Eh... I notice sothing strange when I look through the beverages on display.
It’s a box, placed in the corner of the topmost row of beverages.
What the hell? I glance at the screen and read the scrolling images and text.
Soon, I understand what the box is.
It’s the recently popular real-life “loot box!”
There are loot boxes even with beverages these days? It really is a tax on one’s intelligence... Gambling is indeed exciting... I mutter as I scan what possible contents might be in the loot box.
D*mn, this is interesting.
This loot box is actually related to a new beverage product. It has never appeared on the market before, the bottle has a unique design, and the nas are very stylish!
Seer, Apprentice, Bard, Warrior, Sleepless—Ha, I like that. There’s also Lawyer, Assassin, Hunter... I glance at the price of the loot box and realize that it only costs 5 yuan.
It’s cheaper than I expected, so I decide to give it a try.
Life is short, so why not give it a try?
As a slave of society, the daily working hours go from nine to six, seven, eight, nine, ten... Excluding work ti, eating, sleeping, and commuting, there’s very little free ti for leisure.
Even the monotonous life would get to robots with this happening day after day. It’s just so boring.
The property prices are even more depressing. They make you lose the motivation to work hard. One becos dejected or just takes on a mantra of letting things co as they may.
To be able to find a new thrill in cheap forms of entertainnt other than novels, comics, videos, and gas can be considered a surprise.
Taking my phone out, I start scanning the QR code.
At the sa ti, I mutter a few nas in my mind:
Seer, Sleepless, Spectator, Assassin...
These are the beverages that I hope for the most from the loot box.
I will be satisfied as long as it’s one of them.
After paying, the vending machine seed to be stuck. It didn’t move for quite a while.
I suspect that it’s trying to cheat .
Is it packaging it on the spot? I complain as I seriously consider making a complaint.
At this mont, the vending machine finally showed signs of movent. The loot box is pushed out and falls to the dispenser with a thud.
It’s ti to witness a miracle! I bend down and push open the sliding panel of the dispenser and pull out the loot box that I really can’t consider exquisitely packaged.
After I quickly open the box, I see a bottle wrapped in coiled snakes.
Based on what I saw on the screen, I’m able to recognize which drink it is.
As an Assassin’s Creed gar, this is an outco I’ve been looking forward to:
Assassin!
