Chapter 234 Skyscraper 4

 "Ah what? Let's go quickly!"

Liang Xiner pulled Bai Xi towards the cashier and asked as she walked, "Were you very rich before?"

"It's okay."

Bai Xi doesn't know the situation in this world, so she can only choose this snake-like answer.

Liang Xiner was filled with envy. She had never lived on a floor without power restrictions!

She sighed and explained:

"The elevator stops operating after 8 o'clock and will not start operating until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

And our building has power rationing at night.

There will be a power outage at 8pm on floors 2-40; there will be a power outage at 9pm on floors 41-60. You can use electricity from 8pm to 9pm, but the electricity bill will be three times the usual price;

There will be a power outage at 12 o'clock on floors 61-90. Electricity can be used from 8 o'clock to 12 o'clock. The electricity bill is five times the usual price;

There is no power limit above the 91st floor, and the electricity bill is seven times the usual price."

"Resources are so tight?"

This was Bai Xi's first reaction.

Since we can afford to build skyscrapers, the technological level of this world should not be bad, at least not worse than her original world.

If you can save electricity to such an exaggerated level, it can only be a resource problem.

"That's right! If you don't want anything and are the first in destruction, that's what human beings are."

Liang Xiner put the items on the shopping cart on the checkout counter, and the cashier passed them through the machine.

Seeing that Bai Xi didn't talk to her, Liang Xiner looked at her and smiled: "I learned it from TV. Experts say that if there hadn't been that war 30 years ago, our world would have been full of beautiful mountains and clear waters, with birds singing and flowers fragrant."

"These experts love to talk nonsense."

The person in the queue at the back interjected, it was obvious that he was not very interested in these experts and was disgusted with them.

Bai Xi is a little curious about the war thirty years ago, but judging from everyone's chats, everyone should know about this war.

If she asks rashly, she will definitely be suspected by the players at the scene.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Xi's curiosity subsided before she went and settled the bill with peace of mind.

The total cost of this shopping was more than 700 yuan, which was packed in two hemp bags.

Liang Xiner also has a sack.

Just as Bai Xi was hesitating whether she would look too unique by carrying two hemp bags, two men waiting outside the supermarket came over.

Judging from their appearance, the two should be father and son.

"You two ladies, do you need to move it?" the older father asked.

"Move to the elevator door for me." Liang Xiner answered skillfully.

When the son saw that Bai Xi had two sacks, he thought for a while and said tentatively: "Two bags cost twice as much."

Liang Xiner whispered in Bai Xi's ear: "We will give them 1 yuan to help move the things into the elevator. If he asks you to double it, it will be 2 yuan. If you think it is expensive, you can bargain with him."

"Okay, thank you, master."

Bai Xi said with a smile.

She has more than a hundred yuan left, and two yuan is not much. It will not expose her strength or increase the risk of being recognized, but it can also save energy.

Why not?

"Don't dare, don't dare, you are looking down upon me."

The father and son were a little surprised to be called master with respect, and they smiled and said modestly.

"They are just two coolies, there is no need to be so polite to them." Liang Xiner was also a little surprised, she leaned into Bai Xi's ear and whispered.

Although Liang Xiner's voice was low, the distance between the four of them was too close, so the father and son still heard it and smiled awkwardly and humbly.

"There is no distinction between high and low professions."

Bai Xi didn't understand the rules of this world, so she just said a few words.

"Thank you, Miss."

The son smiled brightly, and for the first time someone said that his job was not despicable.

"Let's work!"

The father stepped forward and put Liang Xiner's sack on his back. His son tied the sack and lifted it up one by one.

"So strong." Bai Xi was a little surprised.

Although she could also lift the two sacks, this was through system strengthening. The young man in front of her was obviously an aborigine, and he actually had such great strength.

"That's all he has." His father said with a smile.

The son also smiled naively.

"You are strong, so you should eat a lot, right?" Liang Xiner asked.

"He can feed two of me by himself, but fortunately he can rely on his strength to eat and is not hungry." When my father said this, his face was full of relief.

Surviving on your own is a matter of skill.

"It's good, labor is the most glorious." Bai Xi said with a smile.

The son nodded repeatedly. He relied on his own ability to make a living. Although life was difficult, he could still survive.

After delivering the three linen bags to the elevator entrance, collecting the money, the father and son left. There was still more than half an hour left, and they could still make a few more trips.

After more than twenty minutes,

Bai Xi returns to room 035-12.

After checking the house as usual, there were no signs of intrusion. After making sure it was safe, she took out the contents of the sack and put them away one by one.

Then, sit on the tattered sofa and use up the lottery opportunities for this mission.

Open the lottery wheel, pray as usual, and then click [Start Lottery], and the wheel will spin quickly, round and round.

When the pointer stops, the game light curtain also appears in time.

[Congratulations to player Bai Xi, who won a healing card as a green reward in this round.]

"Not bad."

Although it is a green card, it is exactly what Bai Xi needs. Now she feels more and more that the recovery card is a life-saving card and must be kept at hand.

Putting the card away and putting it away, Bai Xi walked to the old window and observed this strange world from the perspective of a bystander.

At this time, it was already dark.

On the tops of tall buildings in the distance, a few flaming red sunset glows floated.

Looking around, the entire city is filled with skyscrapers that are too high to reach the top. Cars are constantly passing through the streets, and the bottom of the city is filled with thick gray smoke.

"I didn't expect that the environmental pollution here would be so serious."

The technological level of this world seems to be no different from that of the original world. This makes Bai Xi start to worry about whether her original world will follow in this footsteps.

The sunset gradually fell over the tall buildings, and the house suddenly became dark.

There's a power outage.

I looked at the electronic clock on the wall. It was neither a second more nor a second less than 8 o'clock.

Without the lights, the whole city went dark. Just like Liang Xiner said, all the power was cut off below the 40th floor, and this was the case for all the high-rise buildings as far as the eye could see.

Only the top of the tall building is still lit, and there are dots of lights on the middle and upper floors.

The top and bottom floors of high-rise buildings are two completely different worlds. One is the paradise that everyone yearns for, and the other is the hell that even evil spirits want to escape from.

Reality has once again proved that,

Poor people are only worthy of groping in the dark, while rich people will always stand on a high place, holding a glass of red wine, and judging others.

Bai Xi turned around and walked to the bedroom, dragged down the mattress and placed it in the middle of the living room, so that the entire room was within the scope of her spatial perception.

Then, covered with a worn-out sheet, I lay on my back on the mattress, looked at the occasionally flickering night sky outside the window, and fell into thinking.

"Three colors of lights, harsh environment, scarce resources, one building is like a small society, it's a bit complicated."

"What does it mean to be quiet?"

Thinking of the mission information, Bai Xi was a little confused.

"Is it a 'ghost' like the one in Ping'an Village, or some kind of biochemical mutation, or a natural disaster that caused the building to collapse?"

If you think about it carefully, it seems possible.

"My head is big. Go to sleep and think about it tomorrow."

After staring at the ceiling for a long time without thinking of the reason, Bai Xi pulled up the quilt and closed her eyes to sleep.

However, not long after I closed my eyes.
Chapter completed!
