Chapter 274 267. Surprised Backpacker (1)

Especially frustrating, the team supported by the NBA was slaughtered in two consecutive games! His energy and spirit were all beaten! Alas, brothers and sisters, please ask for a ticket to comfort me, I am really depressed. ****

On Highway 8, a Toyota Corolla was speeding.

Du Chengwen is a Chinese engineer who was born in Northeast Auto City. After graduating from university, he went south to the magic city. After a few years of hard work in that crazy city, he really couldn't bear the pace of life. After saving a sum of money, he wanted to find a place to travel and relax before returning to his hometown.

Although working in Shanghai is stressful and fast-paced, he also has a lot of knowledge. He met a friend at work and learned that there is a way to travel abroad called working travel, and there is a visa called working holiday visa, which can make money while working travel.

Six months ago, Du Chengwen came to New Zealand with a like-minded friend and started working and traveling.

They spent the first half of the year in the North Island, mainly working in hotels, bars or kiwi fruit plantations, working part-time jobs to earn some money, and then driving around for a while. Although life is not easy, it is very comfortable.

The working holiday visa is only one year. After spending half a year in the North Island, they plan to stay in the South Island for half a year. This time they are targeting ranches and farms.

It turned out to be a pity that although there are many pasture farms in the South Island, they are unwilling to hire short-term laborers, because many pastures and farms work in batches, such as wheat is ripe once a season, and beef cattle are slaughtered once a year. The workers should be able The time for a full batch is good.

Du Zewen and his friends couldn't find a suitable job around Christchurch, so they had to change their destination and job target, planning to visit the world-famous Queenstown. That was their dream goal when they came to New Zealand, and I heard that Queenstown is also relatively easy to find a job.

Set foot on Highway 1 from Christchurch, passing Rolleston, Ashburton to Timaru.

After a brief repair, they drove on Highway 8 again, passed through Twizel and arrived in O'City, and after repairing again, they drove to the end of Highway 8, which was Queenstown.

When in Aocheng, Du Zewen's car had two more riders, one named Xu Tao and the other named Zheng Anjing.

Xu Tao and Zheng Anjing are a young couple. They are both Chinese like him, and they are both backpackers who came to work and travel. It is fate that the two met. After learning that the couple and their destination are also the same, Du Ze I picked up the two of them.

There were too many people in the car, and the four of them started chatting enthusiastically from the moment they left Aocheng and drove on the highway.

Xu Tao and Zheng Anjing arrived in New Zealand not long ago. Their flight flew directly to Christchurch. The first destination was Queenstown. They had never been to the North Island and had been visiting the South Island.

The experiences of the two sides just complemented each other. Du Zewen and his friends introduced their work and life in the North Island, while the couple introduced their work and life in the South Island. When they talked about interesting places, the car would burst into laughter.

While chatting, Xu Tao's cell phone suddenly rang a series of prompts. He took out his cell phone in surprise, and there were WeChat and Q-Q chat barrages on the screen.

Du Zewen saw this scene from the rearview mirror, and he said, "Xiaotao, you're such a rich man, why are you using the 4G network all the time? My buddy reminds you, mobile data in New Zealand is not cheap, and roaming is even more expensive. You need to save some money."

Xu Tao looked at the phone and said, "No, I turned off the 4G network, how could I still receive the message?"

Zheng Anjing gave him a blank stare, and said, "You are such an idiot, you must have misremembered, if you turned off the 4G network, could it be that there is a WIFI signal on the road?"

Being reprimanded by his sweetheart, Xu Tao turned on his phone with a smirk and wanted to turn off the network service, but he pulled down the menu and his eyes widened: "Really, quiet, there is a WIFI signal on this road, and it is very strong !"

Du Zewen thought he was joking, and laughed, "Really? Could it be a satellite network signal? I have been in New Zealand for more than half a year, and I have never encountered free WIFI on the road."

After checking repeatedly, Xu Tao looked serious: "Really, Brother Du, Brother Yang, if you don't believe me, look, my mobile phone's WIFI is connected to the Internet. I turned on the WIFI when we were eating in the convenience store before, and it was turned off all the time. Now it automatically Connected."

Zheng Anjing took out her mobile phone to turn on the WIFI, and then the network key was automatically searched, and soon the WIFI logo turned bright green, which was a sign of a successful network connection.

She didn't believe it, so she opened a video and tried it. The video started to play smoothly, and the buffering speed was very fast, faster than the wireless network she used in the youth hostel.

Seeing this, Du Zewen and his friends were surprised. He stepped on the brakes, took out his mobile phone and tried to connect to WIFI, and his friend took out his IPAD, searched the Internet and connected to it...

The four of them stared wide-eyed:

"What's going on here? Is it really connected to the Internet?"

"Isn't this on the road? How can there be a network on the road?"

"Is it really a satellite network? A wireless network covers the whole of New Zealand?"

The last guess is just a joke, because they all came from Highway 1 to Highway 8. Not to mention that some hotels and restaurants on the highway do not have wireless networks. New Zealand’s WIFI coverage is not as good as that in China.

After guessing a few words but not finding the reason, the four of them ignored it. Since they can access the Internet, they should use it first.

Young people in China are very dependent on their mobile phones. As soon as a wireless network is available, Du Zewen can no longer take care of driving. He takes out his mobile phone and starts video calls with his parents in China. International long-distance calls are expensive, so save as much as you can.

Zheng Anjing swiped through Moments and watched videos, while Xu Tao browsed his e-mail. This time, he is leaving his job without pay to travel abroad, and he has to do some work for the company at work, otherwise why leave him a job?

The four of them stopped chatting, and each performed their duties. Mobile phones and computers started to play one after another, using the Internet to play.

They thought the wireless signal was only temporary, but they could still surf the Internet after playing for more than two hours. At this time, it was almost noon, so Du Zewen had no choice but to put away his phone and continue driving.

"The mobile phone is in trouble, and the WIFI is in trouble for the country. If we don't play, we will almost arrive in Queenstown, right? Hurry up and drive, I'm a little hungry, let's go over there and find something to eat." Du Zewen sighed while starting the car.

Zheng Anjing comforted: "It's okay, we can eat in front. I checked the map last night, and there is Sunset Town in front. There must be a place to eat there."

Xu Tao took the time to download a few patches for the mobile phone software. The Internet will be free, so use it as much as you can.

The car continued to look forward, the network had always existed, and the wireless signal was getting stronger and stronger. Finally, a network terminal transmitter appeared on the side of the road, and the signal reached the strongest point.
