He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

This is my first time writing, so please leave comments and let's discuss any shortcomings. Also, there are some inconsistencies in the timeline.

For some details, I derived the timeline by looking at the actors' ages and the era in which the story was set.

Watching movies and TV shows without thinking is not a good idea.

Throw it away, throw it away, throw it all away, Dad.

Mom and Dad don't have to worry about me having problems anymore! If I need something, we can just get a hot pot with two broths!

This book is purely fictional and consists of stories that take place in parallel worlds. Any chapters that infringe on copyright will be deleted immediately!

If there's anything I didn't write well, please be gentle, oh dear~

Yanhua Kingdom

Hengdian Tobacco and Alcohol Supermarket

"What"?

"Wasn't it 24 yuan? How come it's 26 yuan now?"

"Yes! Do you want some?"

"Um, then give me a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes that used to cost 7 yuan."

"No"!

"The kind that used to cost 8 yuan!"

"12 yuan!"

*Beep!* Leyou numbly pulled out his phone from his pocket to scan the QR code and pay. Sigh! A descendant of a prestigious family has fallen so low that he can't even afford the bonus anymore. He's completely broke!

However, you can't stop smoking, since the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. You have to have a spirit of dedication, and you can't be too selfish!

He unpacked the package, quickly lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled a strong sense of loneliness and helplessness. Life is full of hardships.

After becoming an adult, the bakery he had run for over a decade suddenly went out of business. He then started a hot pot restaurant, which also closed due to the pandemic.

I just received a notification saying that I need to update my personal information, otherwise the card will be discontinued.

Hehe, Leyou, who was wandering alone, chuckled bitterly as he put the chili oil and unprocessed hemp rope from the takeout box into his backpack, got on his electric bike and headed towards Yin. He had to hurry because he still had to go to someone's house to cook spicy hairy crabs later!

Braving the 40-degree Celsius heat, Leyou rushed to the bank, climbed more than thirty flights of stairs, and glanced at his backside...

Good heavens! It's packed with people inside. They only opened one window, and it's almost lunchtime. There's no time to waste, so I might as well just bring out all my belongings.

Going out now, having money in hand makes everything easier; having money in WeChat, just a string of numbers, you don't even feel the pain when you spend it. Maybe you'll only feel the sting when your balance runs out! It's really too difficult!

Leyou withdrew all his savings of 20,000 yuan from the ATM, nervously glanced around, and immediately stuffed it into the inside of his backpack! Just then, a flash of white light appeared before his eyes, smoke swirled around him, and an emergency warning sounded in his ears:

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"

"Host found! Host found!"

"This system is the Tycoon System. Please recharge 20,000 yuan immediately to receive the binding qualification and embark on the pinnacle of life. All Tomato readers, please recharge immediately to complete the binding process!"

A...system? Seriously? Even if I've never seen a pig run, I've eaten pork, right? Besides, there was a whole group of people right next to me who vanished in a flash of white light, without a trace. I haven't been reading novels for nothing!

Overwhelmed with excitement, Leyou's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, patting the ground with trembling hands, crying out in grievance:

"Heavens, earth, father! Do you know how I've lived these past 35 years? Do you know? I've endured suffering that wasn't even mine!"

Just then, a middle-aged man adorned with jewels appeared out of thin air, grasped Le You's flailing hands, and said kindly, "Child! You've suffered. Heaven doesn't tolerate evil; everything comes at a price. Now I'm here. As long as you recharge immediately, I'll take you flying! Just say 'recharge' and..."

Before he could finish speaking, Leyou shouted, "Recharge!" The middle-aged man immediately released Leyou's hands and ran away!

"Ding! Recharge complete! Thank you for your recharge. You have not obtained binding qualification. Goodbye, host!"

An electronic sound came from the air, startling Leyou so much that her mouth went dry. She hurriedly got up and chased after the middle-aged man.

Seeing the man's body flickering between the void and reality, Le You lunged forward and grabbed the middle-aged man's leg! He didn't care about the stairs or getting hurt; if you dared to cheat him out of his hard-earned money, he'd fight you to the death! He was a junior of Le Jin, how dare you be so presumptuous!

"You damned liar! You cheated me out of my money, you really deserve to die! You really deserve to die!" Leyou became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she lowered her head and bit the man's leg hard.

"what!"

After a scream, the middle-aged man forcefully twisted Leyou's head and shouted:

"Shut up! Let go of what you said before. We agreed that the recharge would only grant you eligibility, but you don't meet the requirements, so the application failed. Don't blame me!"

"I don't care! Either give me back my money or you're bound to me! Otherwise, you're not leaving. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a common man's rage!" Le You said, his eyes red.

"Hey, you brat! Your application failed, don't you even look at your own shortcomings? Have you tried anything all these years?!" the middle-aged man said angrily.

"Wrong answer, answer again," Leyou said, then bit the middle-aged man's leg hard again.

"Hey! If you don't shut up, don't blame me for being rude. You think I'm useless in your sea of ​​consciousness? It can only suppress a portion of my functions!" the middle-aged man said resentfully.

"Wrong answer, answer again..."

Before Leyou could finish speaking, an urgent cry for help came from the air: "You poor wretch! Help me! I've been ambushed!"

"Hmph!" The middle-aged man waved his hands, and a burst of white light enveloped him and Leyou at his feet.

In real life, a person suddenly vanished on the spot, startling the surrounding crowd who screamed, "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!" Even after reviewing the security footage, the staff couldn't explain why a perfectly healthy person could suddenly evaporate!
