"Brother Yu, are you free tonight?"

"Still working in the kitchen? Then you can make enough money to marry a wife in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse!"

"It doesn't matter if I don't know anything. Now I have a chance to make money..."

"Well, brother, didn't I contact you immediately when I met a noble person? That noble person is from the empire, and he is very rich, but I don't know anyone on Dais Island. Brother, I am lucky again, so this

The business just fell to us, I have to do it quickly, there won’t be this shop after passing this village!”

"My treat!"

"Okay! As promised, we'll see you at the food stall later!"

Ah Wei hung up the phone and looked at the double image of the beehive eaves on the ground cast by the lights. He didn't feel right at all, because all the information about the "noble man" was made up by him.

But if he hadn't made it up, the two brothers would definitely not have come. They were all ordinary people like him. Although some of their encounters were true, who hasn't encountered an opportunity before?

Ah Wei put out the cigarette butt on the ground, took out another cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth. This action in one go was completely subconscious and had completely become a muscle memory, as if doing this would reduce stress.

Not only was he ignorant of this matter, but he was also ignorant of the two brothers themselves.

Ah Wei took over the conversation, cursed in a flattering manner, and then said:

Lao Yang immediately thought that Brother Yu was a heavy smoker before, but now that he has lost his waist, he has stopped smoking.

Lao Yang made a loud sound:

But he relies on friends when he is away from home. Even if he and the two brothers were not close in the past, he still knows the roots of each other. He knows who his relatives are, his reputation, and what kind of person he is.

Ah Wei was almost shocked when he saw Brother Yu. Logically speaking, although the prices in the mechanical hive are high, the light industrial products produced on the assembly line are almost cheaper than cabbage. Anyone can afford things like clothes and shoes.

, How did Brother Yu get to this point?

When they met old friends from a foreign country, the three of them immediately became red-eyed and didn't say much. After drinking for three rounds, their bodies started to feel warm and they felt dizzy. All the usually unspeakable anguish in their hearts could be vomited out.

He was quickly amused by his own thoughts.

Although Lao Yang's heart, which had been cooled by the world, was warmed by these words, he still did not give a reply. The excessive caution given to him by his age made him instinctively afraid of taking risks.

He unzipped his denim jacket and lifted up the torn velvet vest inside. Ah Wei and Lao Yang immediately saw the huge scar on his right waist. The scar had been sutured up and most of the scabs had fallen off, revealing that it was not that fresh.

new meat.

It was a Rook girl wearing only a few clothes, trying to hand out flyers to people passing by.

It is true that they are from the same hometown, but they did not have close contact in their hometown, and their friendship only stopped at "people of the same generation who grew up at the same time in the village."

Thinking of this, Ah Wei patted his face hard to let the pain dissipate some of the fatigue accumulated throughout the day, then stood up, patted his sore legs, and walked towards Area A-16.

Ah Wei looked at the fried noodles covered with a scrambled egg, but he couldn't eat it anymore. All he could think about was the price of the noodles, which was an egg worth 3 pence——

After licking the plate, Ah Wei let out a deep breath and felt refreshed, as if he had become a different person.

"You only have one life, Ah Wei, you have to think about it carefully."

But quitting smoking but not drinking is the same as not quitting!

He looked at Ah Wei, the complex emotions in his eyes said everything:

"After we landed on the island, I was tricked and I owed a lot of gambling debts."

The price of raw materials for noodles is similar to that of rice noodles.

The two of them looked at Brother Yu.

"Later I found out that the man was selling his own mobile phone... But his life was already lost, and knowing this couldn't help him survive."

Sweet and refreshing.

If we can catch it this time, we will also marry his mother’s concubine with more than ten rooms, buy a big house in the mechanical hive...in the empire! Eat pizza every day! Eat burgers!"

He wiped the beer foam from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and continued to say in the same "it has nothing to do with him" tone:

"I asked the brothers to come here today just to introduce a big deal to them!"

But Brother Yu doesn't like to talk, so Ah Wei can't know what Brother Yu thinks for a while, so he can only deal with Lao Yang first.

Lao Yang and Brother Yu arrived almost at the same time. Looking at the listless looks on their faces, Ah Wei immediately knew that their lives were not good either.

Brother Yu's spirit is not bad, but he looks very shabby in his clothes. He doesn't even have to wear cotton-padded clothes in the winter. He only wears a tattered denim jacket that he picked up from nowhere, and a pair of dragging shoes on his feet.

Shoes brought from my hometown.

Ah Wei held Lao Yang’s hand:

Ah Wei tried his best to persuade:

The three people of different ages, who were living a terrible life, raised glasses of different heights, clinked them and drank them all in one gulp.

"The Tie Gang is such a small gang. It's just because of good luck that it came into contact with the electronic waste business during the construction of the mechanical hive, and it has grown to this point! But now there are so many people in the mechanical hive, and the market is bigger than before.

!Can his tie gang capture such a big market?!"

Ah Wei never knew what a whole portion of pho would taste like.

The sad smile on Brother Yu's face made Ah Wei take his hand back.

Different from Lao Yang's reaction, Brother Yu listened carefully to Ah Wei's words, his eyes shining with an inexplicable light under his long bangs.

Although the girl's AI is simple and only repeats a dozen movements and a few expressions, the level of debugging and calibration is obviously very high, which makes the girl's movements and expressions more charming and vivid than ordinary women.

The faint smile was quickly washed away by his current situation. He was very annoyed, why did he suddenly think of the damn thing called pho!

He slapped his head vigorously to drive away the thoughts about pho.

What is Brother Yu thinking!

…

Brother Yu said while staring at the cigarette in Lao Yang's hand.

But the boss was a member of a gang, so Ah Wei hesitated at that time and did not try to persuade the boss to buy a house in the area after the U District - once the investment failed and the boss got angry, the others would be gone.

"Who says it's not! I recently raised a mother-in-law who works from six in the morning to nine in the evening! Mother Ganlin! It's hard to live with the dog's day! The key is that you can't find a job that's not tiring! No!

You’ll starve to death if you do it!”

Ah Wei thought to himself, this is a good thing.

As long as you swipe your mobile phone from top to bottom in front of the girl's skirt, you will receive flyers - advertising text messages for food stalls.

He looked at the plate with only a little bit of broken noodles left. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand, picked up the plate, and used chopsticks to eat the remaining bits of broken noodles into his mouth, and then moved along the edge of the plate.

Start licking and don't stop completely until you've licked the entire plate clean.

Lao Yang puffed out smoke and said things that he did not dare to say during the day with the help of alcohol.

Brother Yu, who was young but unkempt and unkempt, said nothing. He just raised his glass with red eyes that had been filled with wine for some time.

"I won't go into details about the price of second-hand electronic waste. You two know more about things in the hive than I do. What can be more profitable than selling electronic waste?"

"How do you know if you don't try? There was no chance before, but now we have a chance! How long will it take for this kind of opportunity to come again? Even if the second opportunity does come, you will still have to hesitate like now.

?!Lao Yang! My brother! The opportunity will not come again for a second time!

‘If there is such a holographic projection device in the electronic waste that person mentioned, I will also build an artificial intelligence to help me promote pho.’ - Such an inexplicable idea came to Awei’s head.

Looking at Lao Yang and Brother Yu who were devouring their food again, Ah Wei swallowed and licked the fried noodles.

"I contacted an e-waste repairman. They currently lack offline sales channels. I remember, Lao Yang, didn't you do outsourced sales tasks in the Information Department of Lighthouse before? This matter is a piece of cake for you.

dish!"

This kind of relationship, no matter how unreliable it is, is much more reliable than the relationship with other people outside.

About ten minutes later.

"They took one of my kidneys."

Lao Yang lowered his voice. Under the interference of the noisy people in the food stall, his voice completely disappeared after leaving the small square table in front of him.

He knows that once the eggs are cooked and placed on the fried noodles, the price of the eggs will immediately double in value. Put together with the fried noodles, the rice can be sold for 26 pence.

Lao Yang is almost forty years old, older than the other two. He is wearing a cotton coat that has faded from the wash. He is in very poor spirits. He has two big dark circles under his eyes that scare a person to death. It looks like he has been there for days and nights.

Never slept a wink.

"I heard two days ago that a man was selling second-hand mobile phones in Area C, and his tie was pulled by a tie gang... in the dark alley of Area C-17."

He sat on a square table in the corner, reported the number of people to the waiter, and waited slightly nervously, thinking over and over in his mind what to say to them and what kind of words to use.

Ah Wei looked at Lao Yang's eyes, and then moved his gaze to Brother Yu's eyes. The glint in his eyes forced the latter to dodge subconsciously.

Food stalls are an heirloom business created by an Asian owner who spent huge sums of money to purchase several hives and drilled them through.

The other two people did not dare to look at him because Ah Wei, who was licking the plate, seemed to have turned into some kind of beast. His heavy breathing and greedy eating style reminded them of the coyotes in the suburbs of their hometown.

Some idle passers-by would even line up to wait for her to hand out flyers, just to scratch the front of her clothes.

He had never eaten anything so delicious. Maybe it was because he had forgotten, or maybe it was because the fried noodles at the food stall were so delicious that they couldn’t resist. When Ah Wei came to his senses, he had already finished the fried noodles.

Empty.

"One kidney is not enough to repay. I have to repay the 'daily interest' every day, and the remaining money is barely enough for two meals."
