Chapter 1471 Can't Be Too Big

Compared to saving the country, Ryota still prefers to save his hometown first. Because the hometown is gone, what is the talk of saving the country?

Although the black-robed man who couldn't see his face seemed a little strange, it wasn't surprising. After all, it's this age, even if someone stands in front of him and pats his belt, and then shouts: "Kamen Rider, transform!"

I won't be surprised at all.

The man in black robe opposite probably didn't expect Liang Tai to be so calm. He asked interestingly: "Aren't you curious about the reason why I, a person dressed in such a strange way, asked you these questions?"

"Strange? Why is it strange?" Ryota said with a natural expression: "Is there anything strange these days? I saw someone turn into a giant on the way to work two days ago, although it was a bit miniature."

"Giant? Won't someone cut off the back of his neck?"

"I'm talking about the giant of light!" Ryota scratched his hair that was as messy as a bird's nest: "Giant Dyna. I saw someone yell [become light!] and then it turned into The Giant of Light. But unfortunately, that giant is too small, only more than two meters tall."

"Oh? It's Ultraman." The mysterious man touched his chin with interest: "And then?"

"Then? Then this giant of light picked up twenty bags of cement and began to load the truck. It was faster than a forklift. It's a pity. I was going to apply for a loader, but the giant of light took the job away."

Ryota held his forehead with one hand, helplessly: "In this weird world, the giants of light have no monsters to fight. Is it so difficult for them to be laid off and re-employ?"

"Life in the big city is becoming more and more difficult. Everyone is addicted to the dream pills of the Dream Museum. Just now...forget it...it's useless to tell you." Ryota waved his hand and stopped the original plan Said to complain.

"I want to go back to my hometown, rebuild my house, solve the radiation problem in my hometown. Then have a proper job in my hometown. That's all I need."

Inoue Ryota is not a person with strong desires, he fits all the characteristics of most young oriental men today. The desire is not strong, the ambition is not big, and you can do as you can.

But Ryota's desire is a little higher than that of ordinary young Asian men, because he actually desires to have love, and then get married and have children to reproduce the next generation.

This is rare among young oriental men, and almost no one still has such an idea. Because getting married and having kids is exhausting.

It's not because of housing prices. After all, after three decades of loss in Toyo, their real estate is basically dead. Except for a few excellent locations in the metropolitan area, well-built houses. Other houses in most cases have depreciated during these three decades.

For example, during the bubble era, a certain ski resort in Toyo built a large amount of real estate, and many companies built high-end holiday apartments and villas here. At that time, a 2LDK apartment (approximately 70 square meters usable area) sold for more than 50 million Dongyang coins.

Today, this well-maintained apartment building is of good quality except for the old decoration. The price of the same 2ldk apartment has dropped by 400,000 Dongyang coins. The output value has shrunk by one hundred and twenty times.

Because Dongyang was once cut leeks severely, the Dongyang people in the bubble era were too rich. In the 1980s, Dongyang stood on the streets of Tokyo CBD during the rush hour and saw a magnificent scene.

Groups of office workers in suits and leather shoes waved 10,000 yuan bills and called taxis. It was not uncommon for taxi drivers in that era to earn more than 100,000 yuan a night. Because rich office workers will throw out a ten-thousand-yuan bill directly, and there is no need to change at all.

And the reason why office workers can spend so much is because the treatment given by Toyo Company is too high! The starting salary of graduates from a relatively good university in Japan (similar to 211) could be as high as 300,000 in the 1980s.

And this is just the basic salary. The company will also provide a monthly transportation and telephone subsidy of hundreds of thousands, and some companies will even provide a housing subsidy of hundreds of thousands.

Young people in Japan in the 1980s didn't know what frugality was, nor did they know what poverty was.

Working for two or three years, a monthly salary of more than 500,000 Dongyang coins was normal in that era. If you become a small leader, it will be even more serious.

In the 1980s, Toyo-Mitsubishi Group provided a monthly transportation subsidy of up to one million yuan for each of its section chief-level small leaders.

Working in that gorgeous bubble era for five years, if the annual salary is not 10 million yuan, you will be ridiculed to participate in the class reunion.

In that era, the pick-up halls and claw machines on the streets of Dongyang were always crowded. A claw machine with 100 yuan coins can easily swallow tens of thousands of yuan in just one hour.

But the women playing claw machines have no pressure at all. They can throw coins in order to catch the dolls they want regardless of the cost. And their husbands watched them throw money into the bottomless pit with a smile.

It was a unique and magnificent era in the entire human history and civilization. Nouns such as poverty and hunger have completely disappeared in the East.

The small life of Dongyang people cannot be described as good, it was the real golden age of Dongyang. Indiscriminate consumption and high income make all young people have no sense of crisis.

Until the day the building collapses...

There is a saying that goes well, how poor you were in the past, how poor you will be in the future.

The bubble wave has passed, and now the starting salary of Toyo University graduates is 250,000, which is not bad. If you can have a monthly salary of more than 380,000 a month at the age of thirty, you have surpassed 80% of your peers.

Except for a few bustling business districts in Tokyo, there are almost no empty taxis wandering around on the streets of Toyo. Many times, if you want to take a taxi, you need to call and make an appointment first.

Today's Oriental women are counting their daily expenses with their fingers. They must calculate their food expenses every week and arrange a diet that is as rich and nutritious as possible while saving money.

Now even the managers of many small companies go out by squeezing the subway instead of driving or taking a taxi. Taking a taxi is too expensive, and parking is also expensive if you drive.

The extravagance of the previous generation has nothing to do with this generation of young people.

Today's young people only think about how to save money. Marriage and having children are too expensive, and such luxuries have been banished from the minds of the vast majority of young people.

But Ryota Inoue thought about the girl who he had met many times in Internet cafes but had never really talked to him once, so he took a deep breath.

"What price will be paid?"

"What?"

"Don't try to fool me. Although I am twenty-two years old, I have also watched "Fullmetal Alchemist", and I understand the principle of equivalent exchange. It looks like you are not a good person. So I made a deal with you There must be a conditional price. But let me make it clear that I don’t want much, so I can’t afford too much.”

Inoue - sober in the world - Ryota said in one breath: "For example, I will not do it in exchange for freedom, life, and health. The most I can accept in exchange is to set aside an hour every day to help you clean up or something. So , do you want to change?"

Ryota stared at the man in black with his big eyes, waiting for his answer.
