World of Immortality

Chapter 23 The First Block

Zhang Yunxi went through the procedure of suspending school extremely decisively, and signed a purchase contract for Zhu Qizhen's body with the hospital.

The purchase price of the body is 950G traffic, which is exactly 950,000 if converted into real currency. To be honest, the price given by the hospital is very low, at least about 30% lower than the price of returning to the factory.

Zhu Qizhen's body is made of all-titanium alloy. Just a 34R0111 STERNO piston neck costs more than 800,000 yuan, not counting the various complex electronic components contained in the body.

If the machine body was not damaged, it would cost about 80,000 to 90,000 yuan, but even if it was broken, it could be sold for about 1.2 million yuan if it was returned to the factory for recycling.

The reason why the hospital gave such a favorable price is probably because the process of returning to the factory and the dismantling link are too troublesome, and after sending it to the factory, it will be tested and evaluated by various tests, so it may be easier to get the money back if it is sold to Zhang Yunxi. Of course, this may also be the reason why Dr. Pang negotiated the price for him.

Of course, even such a favorable price still makes Zhang Yunxi feel heartbroken, because he is not making money now, and his savings are all left by his parents, and every penny he spends is one penny less.

...

After completing the procedures, Zhang Yunxi returned to the dormitory and found that Tong Zhan and Wei Wu were not there, only Kaka was waiting for him.

The two looked at each other, and Kaka said with some frustration: "In the whole dormitory, you and I are the only ones who have a temper. I didn't expect you to leave after spending two days together."

Zhang Yunxi smiled: "No matter where we are, it doesn't prevent us from making friends and keeping in touch."

"Yeah." Kaka nodded heavily.

"Okay, brother, I'm packing." Zhang Yunxi paused, turned around and climbed into the dormant cabin, packing all his personal belongings.

After more than ten minutes, Zhang Yunxi took the items he brought with him, smiled at Kaka and said, "Then I'm leaving?!"

"I'll see you off, it's okay anyway." Kaka was obviously a sentimental person, he followed Zhang Yunxi and left the dormitory together.

The two walked through the park and came to the main entrance of the college. Kaka glanced around and commented, "Old Wei, that bastard is really heartless. You invited him to eat several times, but he didn't come to deliver it." give you."

"It's okay, when I'm free, I'll get in touch with my sister-in-law more in the world of immortality, and ask her to invite me." Zhang Yunxi replied lazily.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Jiang Xin quickly walked over from the side, waved her hands and shouted: "Zhang Yunxi!"

"Hello!" Zhang Yunxi turned around and waved at her.

Jiang Xin came to Zhang Yunxi, stretched out her white and tender hands to block the sunlight above her head, and said concisely: "Do you want to return to the Pearl?"

"yes."

"That's right, the purchase price for the kinetic energy core is not a small sum." Jiang Xin paused and said, "I will take a car back to the city to find you this weekend, and we will have a face-to-face meeting. After you are sure that there is no problem, we will sign the contract. At that time, I will ask the company to adjust the equipment and start repairing."

"What about the repair technicians? I don't understand, and there is no space." Zhang Yunxi asked.

"You'd better find a house with a warehouse that can accommodate repair equipment. As for the technicians, you don't have to worry about it." Jiang Xin rarely smiled: "I will arrange it, and there is no extra charge. It is a free service when you buy a kinetic energy core. .”

"That's great, thank you!" Zhang Yunxi offered to extend his hand.

Jiang Xin was taken aback for a moment, and passed her frail and boneless little hand over.

Zhang Yunxi grabbed his hand and shook it twice: "Then let's keep in touch."

"OK."

After the two had finished their business, a truck drove up from outside the courtyard, and the driver in the cockpit raised his head and shouted, "Is that Mr. Zhang? The truck is here."

Zhang Yunxi looked back at the truck, and saw the mottled "body" of Zhu Qizhen, locked to the carriage by several thick chains, and the heavy mechanical arm on the truck was also pressing on his body.

Whether human or robot,

After death, he can only be manipulated by others, without any rights at all.

"Okay, that's it, goodbye, both of you!" Zhang Yunxi looked at Jiang Xin and Kaka very freely and said.

"Brother, come on, I wish you get out of the predicament as soon as possible!" Kaka gave Zhang Yunxi a big hug, he was really warm.

Jiang Xin blinked her big eyes, feeling that she and Zhang Yunxi were not very familiar yet, but because of the short-term friendship between classmates, she also waved her hand and said, "Come on, classmate Zhang!"

"thanks!"

Zhang Yunxi smiled and waved at the two, then turned and left decisively.

A few minutes later, the cart left Qingshan Theological Seminary and headed south. In the lush green campus, Kaka sighed and said, "If I were 18 years old, I might have collapsed already...!"

"If you don't have the courage to commit suicide, you can only live." Jiang Xin replied lightly, holding the courseware equipment, and walked to the library.

...

on the van.

Zhang Yunxi has no desire to communicate with the driver. He just fiddles with his watch and mobile phone, looking for various housing information on the platform APP of the world of eternal life.

Whether it is the previous PC-side competition, the later mobile-side competition, or the current virtual network competition, the user base determines everything. The explosion of the world of eternal life makes it difficult for Lingjing Group not to monopolize multiple industries.

After searching for a while, Zhang Yunxi used holographic projection equipment to carefully look at several houses, and finally booked a relatively cost-effective one. Although the community environment there is mediocre, or even poor, the advantage is that the price is cheap and the space is large.

In fact, Zhang Yunxi inherited the family property. The environment there is very good, and in the center of Mingzhu City, it is more convenient to do everything. But it was also the place where his relatives were killed. Although he didn't believe in any ghosts, he couldn't convince himself to live in that space for a long time.

If it is sold, although it can be exchanged for a sum of money, Zhang Yunxi also contradicts that there are many memories of himself and things left by his parents, so this idea was quickly dismissed.

After booking the house, Zhang Yunxi fell asleep in the passenger seat.

The driver drove the car by himself, and quickly entered the high-speed tunnel, turned on the wind resistance system of the car to lower the car body, and finally rushed to Mingzhu City at a speed of nearly 300 miles per hour.

High-speed driving tunnels are all driven in one direction. The tunnel body is entirely composed of special glass panels, forming a fully enclosed driving space, which will not be affected by natural weather and wind resistance will be minimized.

The travel speed determines the development speed of a city. Everything in this world is changing and advancing endlessly.

...

About four hours later, the truck arrived at Mingzhu City and arrived at the first block of Fengxiu Administrative District.

Fengxiu Administrative District has a total of 21 living blocks under its jurisdiction. It is currently in the stage of large-scale old city renovation, and blocks with Chinese names are generally modernized communities after one or two renovations, and those are replaced by numbers such as first and second. Most of the neighborhoods are places that haven't been remodeled yet, with poor living conditions and low per capita income.

There are gaps and differences in any era, whether it is people or regions. Urban renewal is not something that can be done in three to five years. For example, the renovation of the first block has been shouting slogans for three or four years, but in fact the environment here has not changed much.

Zhang Yunxi was woken up by the driver, rubbed his eyes and got out of the truck, turned his head to look at the surrounding scenery.

Buildings up to 40 or 50 floors stood in front of me, and the walls washed by the rain looked very dim and mottled. Thirty or forty years ago, Pearl City has been emphasizing the rational use of space and land to increase the throughput of the urban population, so the distance between the old buildings here is very small.

Standing on the street and staring at the sky, all you see are the shadows of the buildings and the buildings that seem to be tilted. The time for direct sunlight to reach here is very short, and each street can be exposed to the sun for only one hour a day.

All kinds of electronic equipment and wires between the buildings are intertwined in a mess, like a big spider web, covering the sky and covering all the mess here.

Zhang Yunxi took a breath with his hips on his hips, walked to the front of the store at No. 2022, 5-31, reached out and pressed the old electronic lock, and entered the password, but the error message was displayed.

He wiped off the fingerprint lock with some helplessness, and pressed his thumb on it.

"Ding!"

An electronic notification sounded loudly, and the shutter door of the front shop slowly rose, revealing the dusty warehouse inside.

This is the house that Zhang Yunxi rented. The first floor is a facade warehouse, and the second floor has a room with one bedroom and one living room, which is convenient for him to restore Zhu Qizhen. And all the leasing procedures have been completed online, the tenant and the owner do not need to meet at all, and the unlocking method is also based on password and online fingerprint entry.

The dust in the house swept in. It seemed that this warehouse had not been used for a long time. Zhang Yunxi pinched his nose and turned to the truck driver and shouted: "Master, help me hoist the body in."

The driver poked his head out, spat and replied, "I can only hang it to the door. The mechanical arm is too short to reach the warehouse."

Zhang Yunxi blinked, stepped forward and said, "I ordered a door-to-door delivery service! If you don't get it in, how can I do it myself?"

"It's at the door, isn't this in front of the door?" The driver replied calmly.

"...I mean you have to hang it in for me, or I can't move it myself."

"As I said, the robotic arm can't reach it, and you only paid for the door-to-door delivery!" The driver replied, "You didn't pay for the hoisting from the door to the warehouse."

"... Delivery to your door, do you understand what it means?!" Zhang Yunxi asked with some breakdown.

"It means, if the goods are delivered to the door, I will deliver them!"

"I'm Nima!"

"Hey, why are you swearing at people?" The driver was a little reluctant: "I earn money for door-to-door delivery. If you want to swear at people, you need to add 5MB!"

"OK, OK! You won. Okay, how much will it cost to get the goods to the warehouse?"

"It's physically demanding, 500MB."

"Drive your car, get out!" Zhang Yunxi waved his hand directly.

Two minutes later, Zhu Qizhen's "body" was hoisted in front of the warehouse door. Zhang Yunxi looked at this big guy, held back for a long time, and immediately went to the health care store next door, wanting to borrow a cart with a mechanical arm for moving goods one use.

An aunt in her fifties impatiently charged Zhang Yunxi 50MB before lending him the scooter.

"Boom!"

As soon as the cart was borrowed, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and the torrential rain began without warning.

Under the gray sky, in the city made of steel, Zhang Yunxi's thin body pushed the cart that was not working at all times, his whole body was soaked, and he struggled to walk towards the gentle slope in front of the warehouse.

After working for half an hour, Zhang Yunxi finally transported the big guy to the warehouse. He was inexplicably a little lonely, a little sad, and even a little tired.

Watching the torrential rain on the street, Zhang Yunxi went to the outdoor vending machine to buy a can of beer, returned to the warehouse, sat on Zhu Qizhen's body and drank it.

"Made, you are the only dead man left to accompany me." Zhang Yunxi looked at the rainwater flowing like a bead curtain in front of the door, and said with a self-mockery.

"Step, pat!"

At this moment, there was a strange sound of footsteps, and a white-haired old man walked in from the outside. He was wearing a very punk leather biker jacket, his right leg was limping, and his black and shiny mechanical prosthetic gleamed.

The old man glanced around the warehouse with his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at Zhang Yunxi and asked, "This big guy, do you sell it?"?
