Chapter 33: Goose City Recruitment Meeting (Part 1)
In Goose City, there are two days that everyone in the city will pay close attention to, regardless of race or country!
After all, after the arrival of the Great Ice Age, Goose City, as the only city on the D ball that can ensure survival, gathered survivors of various civilizations in the old world. Because the festival customs in each place are different, there are hundreds of mainstream versions during the New Year, which are very different from each other.
Not everyone is interested in Christmas, nor do everyone eat dumplings during the Spring Festival. Goose City resources are very expensive. Ordinary people have to work twelve hours a day to survive. They will not be as leisurely as the old world, and they still have time to spend other people's festivals.
But there are two days that everyone will pay attention to. The first is the Trail Blazer Admission Day, which is the highlight of the annual college entrance examination. Millions of candidates will have hundreds of intra-book kings standing out and have the opportunity to become one of the great lords who enjoy endless resources, and completely lead a group of people to become nobles in the meta-universe world and escape the suffering days of Goose City!
Every year, tens of millions of parents invest in their children in this regard. No matter how difficult it is, because this is a long and painful day. For all those who are still enduring, the only opportunity to change their destiny!
The second day that attracted much attention was the day when the Goose City recruitment meeting was launched!
In the past few days, most people will spend half a year to adjust their holidays to participate in this event where everyone is gambling. The scale is even hundreds of times more exciting than the World Cup in the Old World, because not everyone would watch football before, but now everyone will pay attention to the metaverse!
Among the three new worlds that Swan City officially announced that it will open this year, one of them has completed the task of 100 lords to meet the conditions to start investment. This news instantly made the stock market crazy. From the early morning, Echeng Street was crowded with people, and people outside the squares were guarding the huge virtual screen, waiting for the opening meeting to begin.
The most nervous one is the family of the four hundred pioneers!
Jiang Sheng's family was also in this lively torrent. The Jiang couple, who were over 50 years old, gathered in the commercial square closest to home with six children, looking nervously at the huge virtual screen on the square, waiting anxiously for the opening.
Jiang Sheng ranked third in the family and was the only child in their family who passed the exam. When the child first passed the exam a year ago, he came to congratulate him from all directions. All relatives who had never heard of him came to congratulate him warmly. The usually indifferent neighbors around him became extremely friendly, and they often went to the door to give gifts, just to make a familiar face.
In those initial days, the whole family was surrounded by this joy. Years of investment were rewarded, which comforted the couple. However, this joy did not last long. From the time the child was summoned by the official training camp, the huge joy gradually began to be replaced by anxiety.
Everyone knows that the Trail Blazers are the seedlings of today's nobles, but the things like seedlings only count when they grow. You must know that among the thousands of Trail Blazers every year, there are only a few dozen people who can eventually become the Great Lord in control of the country...
This is a profession that coexists with high opportunities and high risks, and the Jiang family obviously cannot withstand failure. At least in this generation, their family can no longer afford the second pioneer...
"Sister, is the story above true?" An eight- or nine-year-old child with a tender face and a 70-point appearance of Jiang Sheng pointed at the screen, looking a little excited.
The person who was called sister was about twenty-six or seven years old. The woman seemed particularly indifferent to the child's enthusiasm and ignored him at all. This was not directed at that child. The woman seemed so cold to her younger brothers and sisters.
It was not just this woman, but the other older man. As the eldest of the Jiang family, he was very indifferent to his younger siblings and even a little avoided.
Standing at the end of a group of children, parents who are over fifty years old have a complex expression when they see this scene.
They all know the reason for the indifference of the two children. The family paid a huge price to support Jiang Sheng, which caused Jiang Sheng to basically lose the opportunity for higher education. If Jiang Sheng could not make it this time, his younger brothers and sisters would only become the lowest-level handyman in Eye City in the future, and even worse industry.
In Goose City, where resources are tight, university elites who master knowledge can only barely make a living. Goose City is even more cruel to the lower-level handyman population. After losing the ability to work, they will even be directly expelled. Basically, few people live to be over forty years old...
The eldest and second brothers all have regular jobs, one is a mechanical and electrical engineer from a large enterprise, and the other is a risk control company. They are all pretty good middle-level people, but nowadays, life is under great pressure. When they have a small family, of course they will not want to have too much relationship with their younger brothers and sisters who may become handymen or even black workers.
Although the Jiang couple was cold in their hearts, they would not blame them. In order to invest in Jiang Sheng, both children paid a lot of money and even cut the education fund of their small family. If Jiang Sheng failed and then let them take charge of the remaining younger brothers and sisters, it would be too unfair...
If you want to blame, you can only blame the couple. If you don’t have the ability to do both, let such a young child take such risks...
The elderly mother felt more and more guilty when she looked at the young children. She gently picked up the child asking questions and answered the stories on the screen.
At this time, the things played on each screen in the square are the same, and they are repeating how penguins monopolize after the world ecology collapses... Oh no, save the world...
In fact, in most people's eyes, this history is more magical...
About four hundred years ago, Blue Star entered the ice age, and the situation was more serious than expected. Although the federal countries had made many preparations in advance, they still could not resist the exaggerated extreme cold. The planet seemed to be determined to eliminate humans this time. The exaggerated severe cold was like the movie "The Day Afternoon", which almost instantly killed 99% of the living things in the world...
At this critical moment of mass extinction, the black penguin emerged and created a huge goose city out of thin air. No one knew how this pure mechanical city that could isolate the cold was suddenly created. It felt like a Red Alert game, and it was created with a click of the mouse. Anyway, it appeared instantly.
What's even more magical is still behind. This huge mechanical city that can accommodate more than 100 million people now needs neither the energy from nuclear power plants nor other new energy sources, but from the meta-universe world developed by Penguin Company itself!
The metaverse originally refers to a virtual world created by using technological means that interacts with the real world mapping and interaction, but in Goose City, this world is like real. It not only provides Penguin City's huge energy needs, but also directly transmits people to the virtual world to open up new energy sources for Goose City.
But you say it is the real world, in that world you can use various virtual props developed by Penguin!
This is a phenomenon that completely violates physical common sense, but the fact is that the surviving population now lives on this virtual world. No one knows what the matter is, no one knows what the penguins got and did that year, because the survivors who survived at that time were no longer qualified to know the truth...
"It's beginning, it's beginning!"
This stinky and long promotional story finally came to an end after being put on for a whole day. The virtual special effects of fireworks made everyone who had been waiting orgasm again!
The annual ceremony finally kicked off the prologue when one of the worlds met the standards!
Chapter completed!
