Fault Utopia

Chapter 20 Hunger
After hearing what the girl said, Sun Jieke was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After standing there for a few seconds, Sun Jie Ke reached out and patted her shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, we will definitely find a job, don't be discouraged, keep going."

AA sniffed, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and stood up again. "Thank you, you are a good person. After hearing what you said this morning, I knew you were different from others."

"Haha, there aren't any suitable jobs for good people in this crappy place." Sun Jack said self-deprecatingly.

As if they were in the same boat, AA suddenly became much closer to Sun Jack and started to help him enthusiastically.

"You haven't found a job yet, have you? Go check inside. They're still hiring men, and they haven't filled up yet. You're definitely better than me, and you'll definitely be able to apply for the job. Good luck!"

After saying this, AA cheered up and walked towards the subway entrance.
Watching her disappearing figure, Sun Jack turned around and stared blankly at the 69 Club behind him.

"what?"

At this moment, Ta Pai came over and said in a mean voice, "Why? Want to go in and try? How are you? Can you turn it?"

"Go ahead and try it! Go home!" Sun Jie Ke jumped directly onto his back.

After returning home, Sun Jieke took a hot bath and stood in front of the window in his pajamas, looking at the neon city in the rain.

Everything was quiet at this moment, but Sun Jack's heart was not quiet.

"Tapai, do you think I was wrong before? Maybe people like Song 6PUS don't want a stable job, but because he can't find a normal job at all?"

After this day's experience, Sun Jack seemed to have glimpsed the tip of the iceberg under the colorful neon lights of this city. Perhaps no one wanted to go crazy, they were all forced to do so.

"Does it mean that if I want to survive, I really have to become like them?"

"Get lost, you chose the escort mode, not the caring big sister mode. I have no obligation to chat with you."

Sun Jie Ke no longer had the energy to argue with Tapai because he was hungry and hadn't eaten for a whole day and night since he fell from the sky.

With the last glimmer of hope, Sun Jie Ke opened the refrigerator door and looked through each layer, trying to find something edible in this refrigerator that was cleaner than his pocket. However, in the end, he found nothing except a piece of ice that he could knock out of the frozen layer and put in his mouth to chew.

"Sir, are you short of money? Learn about interest-free loans!"

"Huh?" Sun Jieke, who was chewing ice, was stunned. "Tapai, you called me?"

However, Tapai, who was hanging on the wall to charge, ignored him.

As he looked in the direction of the sound, he found that it was just an advertisement for the apartment's 3D TV.

"Damn, with this big data, it really feels like there is no privacy at all." Sun Jack walked over and looked at the advertisement while chewing ice.

Sun Jack was not surprised by this. Even in his time, as soon as he wanted to buy something, the sales apps would immediately give him various options at different prices, as if they could read his mind. Today's technology is only even more outrageous.

"This is easy to infer. Just count the number of times you submitted your resume today and the frequency. You are a poor unemployed person who is almost broke."

Sun Jieke looked at Ta Pai with disdain, "Will you die if I don't talk? Don't you have the obligation to chat with me?"

"Appropriate teasing, gossiping and insulting users can ensure the physical and mental health of users in various high-pressure environments and alleviate the occurrence of various mental illnesses to the greatest extent. Tapai Robot, you deserve 凸(>皿<)凸" "Stop advertising! I'm listening to an ad here, and you still want to insert an ad! I'm hungry now, okay! Don't bother me!"

After silencing Ta Pai, Sun Jack began to learn about this so-called interest-free loan, but was soon disappointed. Never believe in the free things in advertisements. The so-called interest-free loan requires collateral. In addition to assets such as prosthetic RVs, various organs in the body can also be mortgaged.

After what happened during the day, Sun Jack now didn't dare to think about how they would recover the collateral if they defaulted in this world.

"Damn, it's so dark." With a wave of Sun Jack's hand, the 3D image immediately changed channels, but the next channel was also an advertisement.

"Sir, are you short of money? Can you tell me about the human body laboratory? As long as your meat-iron ratio is > 20%, you can participate in our company's drug testing, prosthetic installation and other safety experiments. Each time, the reward is very high! The highest reward is 15@!!"

Sun Jieke was scratching his head as he looked at these ads. "Why do I feel like these ads are tailor-made for me? Does this crappy TV really not have any intelligent AI?"

"Would you like to try it?" This thought flashed through Sun Jack's mind, but he quickly rejected it.

"No, I'm not out of money yet. If I borrow this kind of thing, what's the difference between me and those who do online loan services?" Sun Jack quickly turned off the projection TV and went to the faucet to drink water in big gulps.

"Your water card balance is insufficient, please recharge as soon as possible." A message passed by Sun Jack's eyes.

"Damn, I can't even afford to drink water now." Sun Jie Ke wiped his mouth with his sleeve and simply went to bed.

At least I won’t be hungry when I fall asleep. I can think of a solution tomorrow if there is anything else.

But it is not easy to fall asleep when hungry. After tossing and turning for an unknown amount of time, Sun Jie Ke finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

"Son, son, wake up, wake up quickly." Sun Jack opened his eyes and stared at the extremely familiar ceiling above his head in a daze.

Suddenly, a big-faced man came over and said, "Son, don't sleep any more. Get up quickly. The Spring Festival Gala is about to start and the dumplings are ready."

"Spring Festival Gala, dumplings?" Before Sun Jack could react, he found himself sitting on a small stool in front of the TV, staring blankly at a big bowl of dumplings.

Suddenly Sun Jie Ke reacted, his expression ecstatic, and he said in his heart: "Yes, that's right, I knew that such an outrageous thing couldn't happen, those messed up things must be a dream!!"

Smelling the aroma of the dumplings, Sun Jie Ke immediately swallowed his saliva and picked up the chopsticks to eat them wildly. He was really hungry.

But before he took a bite, Sun Jie Ke suddenly found his mother walking up to him and said apologetically, "Oh, I forgot you don't like the one stuffed with leeks. I'll change it to the one stuffed with shrimps."

As Sun Jieke said this, he saw his mother holding the bowl in his arms and about to leave. Sun Jieke, who was almost going crazy with hunger, was unwilling to let go and quickly reached out to hug her. "Mom, I love eating leek stuffing now, I love it!"

However, Sun Jieke found that his mother's strength was getting stronger and stronger, pulling his bowl of dumplings farther and farther away from him. "Mom, I love leek dumplings, I really love them, Mom, I beg you, I'm hungry, I'm really hungry!"

As Sun Jie Ke was scrambling, he fell off the bed onto the cold ground with a thud. Then he realized that he had been dreaming.

Sun Jack did not get up immediately, but sat on the ground, staring blankly at the bizarre high-tech world outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

He really couldn't understand it. Technology was so advanced, why were there still people who couldn't get enough food?
