Chapter 395: Chinatown

After falling asleep and waking up naturally, at an unknown time, Lu Li felt refreshed, so he got up from the bed.

"A new life is waiting for you in the extraterrestrial colony, a chance to start again, in a golden land full of opportunities and adventures."

In the living room, Terry Corporation's colonial advertisements are being played on the projection TV. They are recruiting various types of jobs, from captains to logistics personnel, and those with work experience are given priority.

A young man like Lu Li, who has just grown up and doesn't have any professional certificates, most likely won't even have the chance for an interview.

However, Lu Li still extracted the key information from this advertisement——

Navigator, pilot, and captain, these three important positions are limited to humans, not to mention replicants, robots, and even cyborgs are rejected, even if it is just a prosthetic eye.

No matter how nervous people are, there will be a feeling that the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is overwhelming.

Of course, for Lu Li, this should be a good thing. Although he is a werewolf, he has never installed a prosthetic body, which meets the criteria of the alliance and belongs to the beneficiary group.

"If there are any benefits, pay them out quickly. If I don't hurry up, I will be on the road to crime."

Feel free to say, Lu left a can of Snow Beer, and drank tons and tons of it. Frankly speaking, the moment I saw it when I was visiting a convenience store yesterday, my heart was filled with surprise.

Unfortunately, so far, apart from Snow Beer, only Coca-Cola, a long-established brand that has sold well in the starry sky, has been found.

"Long time no see, Sato-san."

When going down the stairs, Lu Li ran into that neighbor again.

"Good day." Fumtoshi Sato glanced at his watch and asked with a smile, "Are you going to school?"

"..."

The topic was killed.

Fortunately, the descending speed of the steam ladder was very fast, which prevented the two from falling into deeper embarrassment.

In fact, during this process, Mr. Sato really wanted to persuade Lu Li to study hard, but when he thought about the news that was widely circulated within the group, he felt that there was no need to be sentimental.

"Don't go to places where it is easy to conflict with people. If you have a criminal record, it will affect your future."

However, when they were about to part, Fumtoshi Sato looked at Lu Li's back and couldn't help reminding him not to ruin his future.

You must know that a young man who has no guardian and can receive high subsidies from the government can easily go astray and make friends with some bad people.

Naturally, Lu Li wouldn't put on a face when he cared about other people's good intentions. He readily responded:

"Got it, thank you."

After saying that, he waved to Mr. Sato who was rushing to work.

crime?

Lu Li thought about it, and felt that he would not conflict with others. After all, there were no slums in the nearby districts, and the law and order were very good.

"In the next three hours, the pH value of rainfall in Kabukicho and its surrounding areas will remain at a normal level. Citizens can put away their protective equipment."

Next to the traffic light, a mechanical alarm sounded.

"Normal rain, how long has it been since you saw it?"

"At least two years."

There were conversations among the crowd.

Lu Li followed the crowd and quickly crossed the road.

Not far away is the "ATOM Club", the neon lights are shining brightly, but he doesn't intend to go in, even if the hospitable Miss Kamio will invite him to have a free breakfast and prepare a lot of food.

Strange goods to live in.

This idiom makes a lot of sense. Besides, who would run to each other every day when they first met?

It seems too cheap.

Next, Lu Li planned to go to that Mr. Roger and chat about the starry sky.

North of the city, industrial area.

The acid rain has just stopped, and water drops are dripping from the eaves and neon signs.

This place is even more crowded than Kabukicho, full of noisy scenes of people coming and going.

The workers either just finished their work, or were rushing to make up their shifts, and there were often suspended vehicles roaring past overhead.

Due to his excellent eyesight, Lu Li raised his head and could still vaguely see the skyscrapers built in Kabukicho.

Maybe it's because of poor sales and no money to advertise. The aunt who sells medicine no longer occupies the big screen, and is replaced by a girl idol group.

The holographic projections of the five members bounced in the drizzle, and the LED lights kept changing colors to match their performance.

Of course, the AI ​​girlfriend is still strong, probably because there are too many single dogs who lack love on this planet, and the billboards are a few more than yesterday.

"May I ask how to get to Silver Street?"

"Go forward...turn left into Red Light Street...and cross China Street to arrive."

"Thanks."

"It's okay. For the sake of credit, I will give you another suggestion. If you are not in a hurry, you can try the delicious food there. You can't eat it in other districts."

Years of acid rain, coupled with the laziness of the street management department, have made the road signs mottled.

In desperation, Lu Li began to ask for directions.

At first no one was willing to talk to him, until he promised to pay with five credits, a dusty elder brother stopped, patiently guided the way, and even gave a little suggestion out of kindness.

Chinatown?

There are more and more surprises as you explore.

Need to go through Red Lantern Street, the street made up of red lanterns, though?

All right.

Facts proved that Lu Li was overthinking. After turning left, he entered a long street with neon lights flickering ambiguously. On both sides of the road, store doors were wide open, and girls stood at the door to attract customers.

Bunny girls, uniforms...

Although Kabukicho also does this kind of business, they have a reserved style and do not let their girls go out to attract customers, and the interior decoration also pays attention to a cultural heritage.

"Do you want to serve?"

"don't want."

"Just fifty credits."

"Sorry, I was too anxious to go out and left my ID card at home."

"My sister sees that you look good, so you don't charge money."

"High school student, not yet of age."

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to bother him anymore, and Lu Li walked out of the red light street smoothly.

Next, there were fewer neon lights, and the light became softer and less dazzling.

"Ramen", "Cantonese-style morning tea", "artificial crab roe soup dumpling", "hot dry silk", "Goubuli steamed stuffed bun", "duck soup", "rice bowl"...

The aroma hits the nostrils.

It just so happened that a table of guests left at the morning tea stand not far away, and the boss raised his head and greeted, "There are vacancies, there are vacancies."

It was not a common language, but Chinese. Even though the pronunciation was not standard, Lu Li, who felt very kind in his heart, still walked over quickly.

"Welcome, welcome."

"Come on, please sit down."

The boss was an old man in his sixties or seventies, with a hunchback, and was cleaning the table with a clean rag on his shoulder.

"What would you like to eat?"

After finishing speaking, he repeated it in non-standard interstellar common language.

Lu Li picked up the menu, glanced at it casually, and immediately said, "Here are four cages of pork liver and siu mai."

The boss saw that Lu Li's pronunciation was strange, but he spoke Chinese, so his attitude was more amiable, "Two servings are enough to eat."

"No, four."

"Two servings are enough!"

"Then add a bowl of noodle soup."

"okay."

Seeing that Lu Li's attitude was firm, the boss simply stopped trying to persuade him, and just muttered softly, "Young guys nowadays don't listen to what the old man says."
