() On a new day, the sun rises as usual, and people in the city become busy again.

Turning off the alarm clock, unplugging the cell phone battery, and unplugging the phone line, Lin Tao made full preparations the night before and had a good night's sleep. In his impression since working, he could sleep as many times as he would naturally wake up.

I can count them all on ten fingers, and this time I finally feel free of burden.

But when the sun rose, he also opened his eyes at the same time. The biological clock that had been formed for a long time made it impossible for him to sleep until he woke up naturally. He just stared at the ceiling above his head, and a full two hours had passed.

I turned to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was only half past seven.

"Oh my God, this is going to torture people to death!"

Lin Tao wailed and sat up from the bed.

The bedroom area is not large. In this prosperous city, there are too many renters like him, and house prices are becoming more and more expensive. Now the rent for a one-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​less than 40 square meters has reached

The monthly salary is 4,000 yuan, which is equivalent to nearly one-third of his salary.

"No, I have to find a job!"

Lin Tao rushed into the bathroom, washed up, turned on the computer, logged into various job search websites, and submitted dozens of resumes throughout the morning.

With his stomach growling, Lin Tao finally looked away from the computer and decided to go out for food.

There were many shirts and countless trousers hanging in the closet. Lin Tao picked up a shirt, just compared it with his body, and threw it aside decisively.

Change, he decided to change from now on!

Forget it if the job is gone. Since there is such a heaven-defying cheating tool like the charm system, why can't I make good use of it? Why can't I use it to become a charming man?

Lin Tao got angry when he thought of that wretched uncle who said he was "bear-like". After all, he was over 1.8 meters tall and not bad looking. Growing up, most people said he was honest and honest. This was the first time that the word "bear-like" was used to him.

On the body.

At this moment, Lin Tao was startled again. He suddenly discovered that the charm system seemed to have changed. There was a value at the center of the center of the circle - 25. When did this thing change? Why didn't he feel anything at all?

"I see!"

Lin Tao slapped his head hard. The description of the charm system made it very clear. The purpose of this thing is to pick up girls. The more girls you pick up, the faster the system will upgrade.

"Is it possible that I will transform into a 'playboy' in the future?"

Lin Tao suddenly laughed and shook his head at the same time. He knew himself very well. Nature is easy to change but hard to change. It is absolutely impossible for him to become a playboy.

Besides, who said you have to be evil to pick up girls? Being friends can also help you grow into a charming man, so why not?

Lin Tao excused himself and allowed himself to accept the so-called job of picking up girls.

This 25-point value must be related to his encounter with Guo Yiling in the elevator yesterday. As for how the value was converted, it was useless for him to worry about it. It was simply beyond his control.

Lin Tao thought about it carefully. He didn't say anything to Guo Yiling yesterday. Even in his impression, he didn't feel that Guo Yiling treated him any differently. However, some values ​​were added, which fully showed that as long as he had contact with women, there would be rewards. This was not bad.

A great way to level up quickly.

Thinking of this, Lin Tao became even more cruel and must make changes!

Finally, he dug out a short-sleeved casual shirt and a pair of jeans that he hadn't worn for a long time from the closet. He hadn't worn such an outfit for several years.

Looking in the mirror in the bathroom, Lin Tao always felt a little awkward. Later, he finally found the problem. He was used to wearing formal clothes, and his shirt was habitually tucked into his pants. Since he wanted to change, he would do it more thoroughly today. He just put his shirt on

Pulling it out, this outfit looks much more comfortable.

Lin Tao put on a pair of sneakers and went out.

After walking around on the street, he took the familiar No. 7 bus again.

He missed the rush hour and there were not many passengers on Route 7. Lin Tao unexpectedly found a seat. He turned to look at the scenery outside the window. After riding on Route 7 for so many years, it was the first time for him to appreciate the scenery outside the window.

Stop after stop, people were coming up and others were going down. Lin Tao kept looking out the window, planning his future life goals in his heart.

"Hey, what are you doing?" A scream rang out in the carriage, the sound was so sharp that it was a bit scary.

Lin Tao frowned and turned around to find that the carriage was filled with people at some point.

"No, I didn't do anything..." a trembling voice said.

"My purse……"

Lin Tao shook his head. Just listening to the conversation, he knew that he must have encountered a pickpocket in the car. The car was very quiet, everyone was watching the development of the matter, and no one was willing to come forward.

"The female voice seems familiar!"

Lin Tao was not usually such a nice person. This time he stood up from his seat because the voice sounded familiar to him. At first glance, it was surprising. The person whose wallet was stolen turned out to be Guo Yiling!

Lin Tao didn't have time to think about how a beautiful woman like her could take the bus. As if there was a force in his heart to support him, he pushed through the crowd of onlookers and walked up.

Lin Tao was over 1.8 meters tall, while the pickpocket was less than 1.7 meters tall. He was thin and his clothes were a little shabby, but he was very clean.

"Lin Tao?"

Guo Yiling shouted in surprise.

Although the pickpocket was shocked by her momentum, she was a woman after all, and she really had no ability to resist if the other party attacked her.

With a backer, Guo Yiling pointed at the pickpocket and said: "Wallet, give me your wallet back!"

"I, I didn't steal!" the pickpocket was still arguing.

"You didn't steal it, what's in your trouser pocket?" Guo Yiling asked sharply.

"That, that..."

Lin Tao took a step forward, staring down at the pickpocket from a high position, using the momentum brought by his height advantage to put pressure on the pickpocket. After the previous momentum, he also felt a little guilty. This was really the first time he had done this. What should he do next?

I have no clue, so I can only take one step at a time.

"Take it out!" Lin Tao shouted, frightening the pickpocket.

The driver parked the car aside, leaned against the railing and shouted: "Call to report, or I will drive directly to the police station!"

"You said you didn't steal it, take it out and see!"

People around him were making accusations. With Lin Tao stepping forward, they had the confidence to speak. If Lin Tao hadn't stepped forward, I'm afraid they would have chosen to remain silent.

The pickpocket hurriedly took out a black wallet and handed it over, explaining repeatedly: "I, I'm really not a thief, I'm just practicing my skills..."

"Practice?" Lin Tao couldn't help but laugh. What's this? If you steal, you'll steal. There's such a thing as practicing.

"No, no, I didn't steal on purpose...and that's not right either!" The pickpocket completely panicked under the gaze of everyone.

"Stop talking nonsense and call the police directly. The police station is very close to here." The driver said impatiently.

The pickpocket knelt down with a pop and begged Lin Tao for mercy: "Brother, I was wrong. Don't send me to the police station. I still have an old mother to support..."

"Who believes your lies, saying you have a mother to support when you are caught?" a man wearing glasses scolded.

"Really, what I said is true!" The pickpocket almost kowtowed.

Lin Tao hesitated, not because he felt sympathy for the pickpocket, but because he did not look like a habitual criminal, and his tone and expression did not seem to be fake.

"Driver, open the door, I'll take care of it myself!" Lin Tao grabbed the pickpocket by his collar and picked him up.

"Young man, can you do it on your own? They all have gangs and it will be difficult to deal with them if you get off the bus!" the driver kindly advised.

"It's okay, I can solve it!" Lin Tao winked at Guo Yiling. Although Guo Yiling was confused, she also followed.

"Brother, big brother...I was really wrong, please don't send me to the police station, okay?" The pickpocket was thin and had no ability to resist in front of Lin Tao.

Guo Yiling saw that the pickpocket was pitiful, but she felt sympathy and advised: "Lin Tao, forget it, just get the wallet back. Anyway, I didn't lose anything!"

Lin Tao threw the pickpocket to the lawn beside the road with a sudden force. The three of them did not get off the bus at the stop, so there were only a few pedestrians nearby. Even if someone noticed, they would not take the initiative to ask.

"Why do you have to be a thief?" Lin Tao held back his strength and shouted out, which really shocked the pickpocket.

"Brother, I was wrong, let me change it!" The pickpocket begged for mercy again and again, "I really have an old mother to support. There is really no other way. I can't do physical work. I finally found a construction site and worked for three

In August, the contractor ran away without giving me a penny, and when I went to ask for the account, he beat me up." He cried and lifted up his shirt, and sure enough he saw a scar on his left rib.

"This operation cost several thousand, and the last bit of money in my family has been spent. After thinking about it, I can't go begging. How can someone with hands and feet do such a shameful thing? Being a thief can be considered as self-reliant!"

"

"What you said makes sense!" Guo Yiling originally sympathized with him, but after hearing what he said, she became angry. "It's so unethical to steal and not beg. Even if you succeed in stealing, it will cost me

Can you feel at ease with your money?"

"But I really need money. My old mother can't delay seeing a doctor any longer!" The pickpocket fell to his knees on the ground, bursting into tears, and then burst into tears. The sadness and powerlessness also infected Lin Tao and Guo Yiling.

"Stop crying, you're a grown man, why are you crying!" Guo Yiling relented again.

"Stop crying, get up!" Lin Tao dragged the pickpocket up, "If what you said is true, forget it."

When the pickpocket heard that there was a turn of events, he quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Brother, don't worry, I promise not to lie to you!"

"Tell me your address!" Lin Tao kept an eye on him. If he can still be deceived, it means that the thief's acting skills can win an Oscar.

He checked the address mentioned by the pickpocket on the Internet. It was not far from here. It was actually a demolition and reconstruction area. Developers hoarded land for profit. The land was auctioned but not developed. The land has been idle, and most of the demolition has been completed.

Only some nail households still live in the local area, and this incident was also reported on the news.

Lin Tao then felt relieved, patted the pickpocket on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, that's it!"
