Chapter 5 The Dilemma of the Poor
Fang Cheng was awakened by a strong sense of hunger.
He opened his eyes and found that it was already the next morning.
My stomach is growling wildly, as if I haven't eaten for ten days and a half months.
Fang Cheng's face turned pale, the hunger was so strong that he was dizzy and weak.
He struggled to roll out of bed, crawled on all fours to the kitchen to open the refrigerator, and stuffed all the edible things in it into his mouth.
While binge eating, Fang Cheng noticed a line of small characters appearing in his vision.
[Eating+1]
For a moment, he was so surprised that he even forgot to swallow the food in his mouth.
These words come and go quickly, fleeting, but very clear.
Fang Cheng subconsciously swallowed the food in his mouth, and another line of words appeared in his vision.
[Eating+1]
This should not be a hallucination from starvation.
But Fang Cheng has no time to care about these things now, he gobbled up all the stock in the refrigerator, his hunger was only slightly relieved, and his body recovered a little strength.
Lying on the ground, Fang Cheng had time to think now.
Last night, just after crossing, she was **** to death by the Blood Queen once, and she was almost killed by Rin Kanzaki when she returned home. In the end, she was successfully driven away, and Fang Cheng was so tired that he fell asleep.
Looking back on it now, it looks like his body was shot back to life before being bitten by the Blood Queen, who said something was wrong with him.
Combined with the numbers in the pupils and the prompts that appeared when eating, Fang Cheng had reason to suspect that his immortality was not due to vampires, but for other reasons.
Could it be the golden finger that comes with time travel?
Fang Cheng tried enthusiastically for a while, but he didn't call out any system.
The sound of gurgling soon came from the stomach again. The food I ate just now has been digested, and there is not even a little residue left.
Fang Cheng could only take his wallet and walk out of the house, looking for food outside.
…
Fang Cheng has never been to Tokyo in his previous life, but he can also see that this city is very different from his previous life.
The buildings are denser and taller. Looking up from the ground, the sky is cut into irregular squares, like a cage, which makes people feel depressed.
Fang Cheng feels that the city has a bit of cyberpunk flavor, especially these high-rise buildings are decorated with colorful neon lights and signboards, as well as steel pipes that can be seen everywhere.
The reason for this is that many habitable places in District 11 are invaded by supernatural monsters, especially in the countryside. In the worst cases, whole villages often disappear.
Under such threats, human beings have to concentrate in big cities, resulting in higher and higher buildings in cities and narrower and narrower spaces for activities.
Not only District 11, but also other countries in the world.
From time to time, some patrol drones fly by in the air. If illegal behavior is found, they will fly down to broadcast warnings. More advanced drones even carry guns.
Fang Cheng felt shocked when he saw the drone. Kanzaki Rin used the drone to chase him to his house last night.
Rin Kanzaki's face flashed in his mind, and Fang Cheng suddenly remembered what she warned him last night-the Blood Queen created many vampires, and these vampires would involve him in killing each other.
I don't know if it's true, or if it's scaring him. If it's the former, it's really bad.
…
Fang Cheng randomly found a ramen restaurant on the side of the road, went in and ordered a super-large portion of ramen, and went straight to five bowls, making the boss look stupid.
Fang Cheng didn't care about other people's eyes, he buried his head in eating, and the words "eating +1" kept appearing in his vision.
Wait until five bowls of ramen are eaten, and the words in the field of vision change to "satisfaction +1".
The hunger in Fang Cheng's belly finally disappeared, and he looked about eighty percent full.
Instead of the original owner's appetite, not to mention five big bowls, even a small bowl would be enough to fill him up. He ate at least twenty times the usual amount in this meal.
After leaving the ramen restaurant, Fang Cheng went to the bank again to check his savings.
The deposit in the bank is the Asian dollar of the East Asia Human Revolution Bank, which is only a little over 3,000.
The purchasing power of the Asian dollar is not low, but three thousand is still too little.
Fang Cheng silently calculated his consumption today, and then panicked.
If he eats every meal as before, he will be eaten and bankrupt in less than a month.
Even if you only eat one meal a day, it won't last long.
The inheritance left by the original owner’s parents is not small, and it is no problem to use it for college, but the dead house likes krypton gold, and spends a large amount of savings on the wife of the paper man.
Looking at the poor savings, Fang Cheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Before crossing, I was always running around for my life, but I never thought that after crossing, I would still be unable to escape the fate of social animals.
Rin Kanzaki and vampires are all left behind by Fang Cheng, so let's think about how to earn some food money first.
After walking out of the bank, Fang Cheng went home with a lot of preoccupations, not noticing a sneaky shadow not far behind.
…
Rin Kanzaki was wearing a black hoodie, standing at the corner of the street, his eyes following Fang Cheng's leaving back.
She kept her promise yesterday and did not report Fang Cheng's identity to the department, but that doesn't mean she will let it go.
Vampires' desire for blood surpasses any human desire, and they will come out regularly to attack humans and cause tragedies.
Especially newborn vampires urgently need blood to strengthen themselves.
Kanzaki Rin didn't think Fang Cheng was an exception, so he ran to Fang Cheng's house early in the morning to keep an eye on him, planning to come and get the stolen goods.
But to her surprise, Fang Cheng didn't attack anyone, but went to the ramen restaurant and ate a lot of haysai.
It's not that vampires can't eat, it's just that ordinary food can no longer relieve their hunger, only blood can.
Fang Cheng seems to have already filled his stomach with ramen.
Not only that, but he didn't show any fear of the daytime. Ordinary vampires wouldn't choose to go out during the daytime even if the sun didn't come out, which would make them very uncomfortable.
Fang Cheng didn't behave like a vampire in all kinds of things.
Rin Kanzaki almost thought that she had found the wrong person, but she was sure that Fang Cheng was bitten by the Blood Queen and came back to life, and was able to run around alive after being stabbed in the chest with a dagger.
But then again, he seems to be immune to silver daggers, which can easily kill newborn vampires... This is so contradictory.
In short, Fang Cheng is full of mysteries that Kanzaki Rin cannot understand, and she cannot ignore it.
What's more, those photos that shamed Kanzaki Rin are still in Fang Cheng's hands. Thinking that Fang Cheng is very likely to use these photos to do strange things, Kanzaki Rin feels chills.
Must find a way to get it back!
Seeing Fang Cheng walking away, Kanzaki Rin pulled his hood and followed him leisurely.
…
Fang Cheng returned home and began to experiment with his body.
He injures the body by cutting, burning, touching sockets, etc., and observes the recovery speed of the wound.
After the experiment, Fang Cheng figured out a few points.
First, as long as it is not a fatal injury, the numbers in the pupils will not decrease.
Second, the recovery speed of the wound can be controlled. If the recovery speed is accelerated, it will consume a lot of energy.
Third, after the injury recovers, there will be a sense of hunger.
In addition, when Fang Cheng is exercising, [exercise +1] will appear on the body parts, making it seem like he is playing some kind of game.
Fang Cheng can't figure out what is going on with his immortal body now, the number in his pupils may be the number of resurrections, and if he runs out, he may be finished.
Physical matters can be left to later to find out the reasons. Money matters come first. Fang Cheng doesn’t want to experience what it’s like to be starved to death.
He went back to his bedroom and turned on the computer. He wanted to see if there was any job posting on the Internet. He could find a job first.
After searching around, I found that there are very few job openings, and all the job seekers are high-tech talents.
After the large-scale influx of rural population into the city, the labor force has skyrocketed unprecedentedly, and several people are fighting for a job, so there will be no jobs left for him, a high school student.
Fang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little discouraged after searching for more than an hour and couldn't even find a temporary worker.
He clicked on the hidden folder, called up the "artistic photo" he took of Kanzaki Rin last night, and rubbed his chin while looking at it.
If you sell these artistic photos to the school boys, you should be able to get a good price.
These artistic photos in Fang Cheng's hands can definitely sell for sky-high prices.
This idea made Fang Cheng very hesitant, and it was easy to sell, but the consequence was that Kanzaki Rin would definitely fight him desperately.
And these photos are good things to deter her, and if they are sold, they will have no deterrent effect.
Of course, this idea also provided Fang Cheng with some ideas. If it is really at the end of the mountain, it is better to sell the photos to Kanzaki Rin. She should be interested.
"Didi..."
At this moment, the social software on the computer started automatically, and suddenly a friend sent him a message.
Fang Cheng opened it, and the other party sent a sentence: "Fang Jun, have you considered it?"
What to consider?
Fang Cheng checked the chat records of the two parties curiously, and a memory buried deep in his heart emerged.
Fang Cheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that he had found a way to get rich.
