Chapter 68 Changes
Not all the buildings in this area covering an area of more than 50,000 acres are residential buildings.
To be precise, this is a large-scale comprehensive area integrating residential, medical, commerce, art and culture, business offices and smart life services.
It’s called a livable city.
According to the information Lu Bai found on the Internet, the permanent population of livable cities is about 10 million, and there are more than fifteen such livable cities in this shelter.
One can imagine how terrifying the overall scale of the No. 9 Underground Vault is.
Of course, when Vault 9 was first built, it wasn't this big.
More than 60% of the area is the result of slow expansion over centuries.
But it's amazing enough.
To give a rough analogy, it is almost like digging out half of Hong Kong underground, and the manpower and material resources consumed are simply astronomical.
Lu Bai was thinking about these in his mind, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the door of a fried chicken restaurant.
"Brother, this is it." Lu Qingyan was very excited.
Lu Bai nodded: "Then go in."
He dared to agree to go out for dinner, so he naturally understood it.
The currency used in this shelter is called Habitable Coin, which is endorsed by the United Government and issued by Habitable Bank No. 9.
After becoming a student of Death Fight School, he will be given three thousand livable coins every month, which is Lu Bai's only income at present.
However, the predecessor seemed to be very frugal. Lu Bai checked and found that there was a full balance of 43,278.5 yuan in the account under his name, and he did not know how long he had saved it.
You must know that the purchasing power of livable coins is not low. If you live frugally, you can survive on one thousand yuan a month. You just need to eat cheap synthetic food all the time.
By the way, because of the mastery of heavy element technology, there is no shortage of energy. This can also be seen from the holographic canopy that never closes.
Correspondingly, the prices of natural vegetables, fruits, and meats are quite high.
Even if it's not as outrageous as 500,000 yuan for a loaf of bread, it's still close to the category of luxury goods. You can easily spend tens of thousands of yuan on a meal.
Fortunately, that kind of high-end restaurant will not open in a livable city.
No matter what kind of restaurant it is in the livable city, it actually sells synthetic food.
"What do you need?"
Seeing Lu Bai entering the store with his child, the waiter immediately came over with a menu and his attitude was very enthusiastic.
Lu Bai let go of his hand without leaving a trace and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"A set meal for two." Lu Qingyan answered quickly.
It can be seen that although Lu Bai was tricked into going out for dinner, he had no intention of spending lavishly.
Perhaps because of Lu Bai's relatively high affinity, the waiter took the initiative to remind: "The new store has opened, and Death Fighters and children under five years old can also enjoy free packages."
Since you can have sex for free, why not?
Lu Bai lowered his head and blinked at the little boy.
After receiving the hint, six-year-old Lu Qingyan nodded solemnly, turned to the waiter and said, "Hello, I am a Death Fighter."
waiter:"……"
After a brief moment of silence, Lu Bai suddenly smiled with relief: "How can anyone become a death fighter at the age of five?"
"Ah, haha, yes."
The waiter agreed, looking a little embarrassed. He always felt that the brothers were treating him like a fool.
…
However, in the end they got the free meal.
The free package isn't worth much anyway. It's just a piece of synthetic chicken breast and a glass of carbonated drink with no visible ingredients, which are treated as opening rewards.
"Are you full?"
After leaving the fried chicken shop, Lu Bai led the little boy back and asked casually.
"Very full." Lu Qingyan chuckled.
There are mostly entertainment-oriented shops on both sides of the road, but unfortunately most people don't see much vitality.
This is what happens in a livable city. The people at the bottom cannot see hope, but they are unable to resist.
If you ask someone what he is living for, the answer will probably be that he doesn't know. After walking hand in hand for a few minutes, the little boy suddenly said with some confusion: "Brother, I feel that you have changed a lot."
Sideways to avoid a pedestrian, Lu Bai asked calmly: "Is it big?"
The little boy nodded his head vigorously.
"Yeah, it's big."
"What about?"
"For example, emmm..."
Lu Qingyan's baby-fat little face wrinkled up, racking his brains to think: "You used to teach me not to lie."
"Don't you like this change?"
"No, my brother used to be like an idiot."
Lu Qingyan's head shook like a rattle.
Lu Bai slowed down, as if making a casual joke: "That may be because I am not your brother."
"ah?"
The little boy's face was confused, and he looked at Lu Bai carefully: "You are."
Lu Bai smiled meaninglessly: "Go home."
…
When I got home, the holographic sky outside the window was already lit up with stars.
The child got sleepy early. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he dozed off not long after sitting on the sofa.
Lu Bai thought for a while, got up, carried the little kid back to the bed in the bedroom, and covered him with a quilt.
After doing all this, he didn't stay in the bedroom for too long and quietly slowed down and left.
There were only two beds in the bedroom, and the other one was obviously a girl's, so naturally he wouldn't sleep there.
After washing up, he went to lie down on the shabby sofa and continued to take out his mobile phone to browse the forum.
There is really too much information about the deathmatch system, and I can't read it all in a while. I can only take as much as I can see.
I can’t remember exactly when I fell asleep. I was probably too sleepy later on and lost consciousness before I knew it.
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, early morning.
Lu Bai slowly woke up on the sofa, his head feeling dizzy.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was not yet six o'clock, so he lay down decisively and tried to get some sleep again.
Unfortunately, the biological clock seems to be very stubborn. He tossed and turned for more than ten minutes without falling asleep.
He simply sat up and rubbed his face twice, barely dispelling the remaining sleepiness.
Then he just sat on the sofa in a daze.
Arrive at school before eight o'clock, it's still early.
After all, it was only half an hour's journey from where he lived to the campus.
After Lu Bai's preliminary understanding, there were ten death fighting schools in the entire No. 9 underground shelter.
The sixth campus where he is currently studying is almost at the bottom of the ten schools in terms of teachers.
School choice is a two-way street. Schools choose students, and students also choose schools.
Going to the Sixth Campus must have been purely a choice made by my predecessor because it was close to home.
Otherwise, even if there are physical defects, with an initial talent of up to eight points, there is still no problem in entering a good school in the top five, not to mention the top three.
Bang bang bang~
After seven o'clock, Lu Ziyi pushed open the door and walked in. Her face was full of fatigue. The original indifference towards Lu Bai had dissipated a lot after finishing the night shift.
She threw down her backpack and weakly waved her hand at Lu Bai: "It's time for you to go to school."
