Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing

The waning moon is cold, and the neon lights in the city at night are more gorgeous.

The food stalls in the streets and alleys of Dongguan are very lively. The smell of rice noodle rolls, snail noodles, beer and other flavors are mixed with the smell of oil smoke. The passionate sounds of finger-guessing and shouting are rising and falling, filling every corner of the street.

Suddenly, a bald man who was eating oysters pointed to the eighth floor of Yuzu Hall and shouted:

“Damn, look, there is a naked man on the roof who wants to jump off the building!”

As soon as the shouting fell, dozens of diners looked in the direction of the bald man, looked up, and saw a young man wearing only red underwear standing on the edge of the iron window on the eighth floor with the flickering light of the neon lights.

“Oh my god, why would he jump off a building at such a young age?

Is it because of a breakdown in the relationship between husband and wife?”

“There are two reasons why men jump off a building. One is that they are in debt and have nowhere to go, and the other is that they are suffering from a strange disease. It is definitely not love!”

“Maybe he is having an affair and was discovered by the real person, so he hid himself!”

The diners were talking about it, but no one tried to persuade him not to jump. Most of them just watched the show. Someone called the police.

The boss downstairs was even more afraid that someone would die here and affect his business. He cursed and said that he should jump off the building. Then he should jump somewhere else!

All living things are in different states, and each should be safe.

At this time, Hao Qiang, with his chest pressed against the outer wall of the eighth floor, was holding the edge of the wall with both hands, braving the biting cold wind, and was about to climb up to the roof through the iron window. Suddenly, he heard a scream from downstairs and cursed inwardly:

“Who wants to jump off the building!”

“Don’t call the police, damn it!”

2023 passed quietly, and the end of the year was approaching and he was preparing to go home for the New Year. At the age of 38, he had worked for many years and achieved nothing. The old bachelor was rusty and mottled, and he had experienced vicissitudes but was not broken.

Under the instigation of his drinking buddies, he paid 1,288 yuan to Yuzutang downstairs, intending to find a princess to have in-depth exchanges, even if he could only shiver.

Just as he couldn’t wait to gallop and roar, suddenly there was a policeman knocking on the door outside the house to check on him. He hurriedly climbed up from the window and had no time to take his clothes.

He was hiding well, but a kind-hearted person found him and shouted “Someone wants to jump off the building” and called the police!

He wore a red underwear that had been blessed tonight, hoping to ward off evil spirits and avoid bloody disasters.

If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected would happen.

In addition, what he didn’t expect was that the princess turned out to be the girl he confessed to in high school but was rejected by her!

Alas, love rises with the wind, and it’s hard to calm down when the wind stops. When they meet again, things have changed and people have changed. The ending is all lost because of RMB. Society is too damn realistic.

His thoughts were drifting, the cold wind penetrated his bones, and he couldn’t help shivering. His feet slipped suddenly, and his hands didn’t hold firmly. He fell rapidly amid the thrilling screams of the audience downstairs.

“Ah, fuck”

Hao Qiang screamed in fear, his face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes were full of fear and despair.

“Bang! Crack! Puff!”

It hit the neon light first, with a loud bang, bounced, drew a sad arc in the air, swept across the branches full of peach blossoms, and then hit the hardened ground heavily, making a dull sound.

After a moment, the flesh and blood body oozed bright red blood.

The pink peach blossoms then fluttered down, dyeing it even redder.

Flowers bloom and fall in time, and there is no end to the rise and fall of fate.

The diners and the boss witnessed the whole process of the tragedy, dumbfounded, and palpitating.

And the moment before Hao Qiang fell to the ground, in addition to fear and despair, he regretted very much and had many regrets.

Regret for embarking on this bloody road and dying too cowardly.

Regret for confessing to the wrong person, he missed the windy days in high school, the youth that was crushed by the years;

Regret for not being admitted to university, disappointing his parents’ expectations;

Regret for missing many dividends of the times, and being poor for twenty years;

…

Too many regrets, the soul is mixed with regrets, with unwilling obsession and resentment, hanging over the flesh, unwilling to dissipate for a long time.

Suddenly, time accelerated.

He saw the ambulance roaring in, the onlookers were pointing and talking about him, and the owner of the food stall downstairs was cursing him for being a dead loser.

Two days later, he saw his parents with gray temples crying heartbreakingly, scolding him for being so stupid, and burning incense and worshiping at the scene of the incident.

Hao Qiang was sad and anxious, and wanted to say to his parents “the son is unfilial”.

But he couldn’t control his soul, he wanted to shout but couldn’t make a sound, and he wanted to cry but couldn’t cry!

He could only watch from afar, perhaps unwilling to see all this. His soul was like a wisp of ethereal smoke, floating higher and higher, becoming thinner and thinner, flying out of the city,

rising into space,

drifting away from the earth,

across the galaxy,

sucked into a black hole.

His consciousness also gradually dimmed and blurred.

It seemed like there was no time in the void. After an unknown amount of time, a virtual screen suddenly appeared in front of Hao Qiang.

[Writing System]

[Level 1: 0/200,000] (Written/Number of words required for upgrade)

System LV1: Every 10,000 words written = 100 yuan reward

(Note: Copying books, formulas and other knowledge-valued content is recognized, and numbers or letters are discounted by 30%, but meaningless repetitive content, such as copying “1” continuously, will not be recognized.)

(Computer coding, monetary rewards are halved, copying and pasting shortcuts and other cheating behaviors are invalid)

…

[Fusion progress: 99.99%]

“Is this a golden finger?”

“When writing level LV1, every 10,000 words written will be rewarded with 100 yuan?”

“Writing can also make money, isn’t it cool?”

Hao Qiang also found that there are many other functions that shocked him.

However, before he could understand it in depth, the screen suddenly disappeared, time went back, and consciousness left the galaxy and returned to Earth, but it became clearer and clearer.

He suddenly saw the whole process of his falling to the ground, and the diners were shocked…

The scenes he had experienced appeared in front of him and played back quickly.

In 2023, he devoted himself to the production of rural blind date videos at home. After a few months of enthusiasm, he had less than a thousand fans.

Sighing that the dividends of the era of short videos are not easy to make, and seeing his peers making a lot of money, he couldn’t help feeling lost.

In 2022, in a coffee bar in Yuecheng, he had his 38th blind date. The girl graduated from junior high school and did beauty. As soon as they met, she bluntly said that she wanted a 250,000 yuan gift for marriage and had a house and a car in Yuecheng.

Hao Qiang couldn’t stand this kind of self-righteous woman, and directly retorted: “If I had these conditions, would I like you?”

He didn’t waste any more words, paid for his coffee, and left the angry girl, who also cursed him for being stingy.

In 2021, the gray-haired parents sat in front of a two-story rough house, looking worried about their son’s marriage.

In 2020, Hao Qiang stood in front of a new real estate project, his eyes fell on a billboard with a price of 50,000 yuan/square meter. His savings were only enough to buy one square meter. He sighed that the housing price was too high. Was he not working hard enough?

In July 2004, he only got into a junior college in the college entrance examination. He felt that there was not much use in going to a junior college, and it was a waste of money, so he didn’t go to school.

At that time, it was circulated in society: “No matter how poor your education is, as long as you endure hardships, you can get rich.”

With a thousand yuan borrowed from relatives by his parents, he resolutely left his hometown and came to Wancheng. After paying a two hundred yuan agency fee, he entered the electronics factory.

From seven to nine in the morning, without weekends, he worked diligently for two years, but in the end, he only had a few hundred yuan left.

What’s the difference between this and two years ago? It’s better to lie flat at home!

His parents named him “Hao Qiang” because they hoped that he would be resilient and strong in doing things, and believe that the harder he worked, the luckier he would be.

Hao Qiang thought he had worked hard enough, but he wanted to ask, where did the money go?

After two years of social abuse, he found that he was living worse than a dog!

In April 2004, Hao Qiang stood under the pavilion beside the football field of Hengxian No. 2 High School in Guangxi Province, and a young girl stood in front of him.

The girl was about 166 cm tall and slim. She wore a simple white T-shirt and a pair of denim shorts, exuding a youthful atmosphere.

A head of black and shiny long hair fell naturally on her shoulders, and a light fragrance blew through the breeze.

Oval face, rosy and plump lips.

However, her eyebrows were raised, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a sense of pride and contempt.

Hao Qiang felt dazed for a while, and suddenly found that consciousness suddenly descended back to his original body.

He swallowed his saliva after reacting, and was shocked beyond words.

“Damn, I’m reborn?”

Hao Qiang thought to himself, the environment in front of him was familiar and strange, he became younger, just in his senior year of high school.

He couldn’t suppress his inner joy, and his laughter was a little crazy.

When the virtual screen appeared in the void before, he had a hunch.

However, the virtual screen could not be opened, and many functions were not presented. It was probably guessed that it had not been successfully integrated.

It was only 0.01%, it would not be like Pin Xixi teasing him, it was just the last knife, but there were still countless knives.

“Hao Qiang, why are you laughing wildly!

I said, I don’t want to fall in love in high school!

I didn’t expect that you wrote me a confession letter, but I rejected it. Instead of being disappointed, you pretended to be stupid and forced a smile!”

“Are you Chen Mengqi?”

Hao Qiang listened to the cold words of the girl in front of him, stared at the familiar face in front of his eyes, and quickly recognized her.

How could he not be familiar with her? Even if she was wearing vulgar clothes, the features of her figure at 17 and 30 years old did not change much.

He glanced down involuntarily. Well, there was a slight difference, BB became AA. I couldn’t afford it.

But, let himWhat is not clear is that Chen Mengqi went to college, but ended up being a princess?

Hao Qiang suddenly thought of the thousands of dollars spent at Yuzutang, and suddenly realized that she was after money.

People often mentioned her in the high school classmates group, saying that she was a white-collar worker in a company, and when she went home for the New Year, she carried branded bags and bought a house in Yuecheng.

However, she later divorced, and the reason for the divorce is unknown.

Hao Qiang guessed that it was probably because of her messy private life.

“Hao Qiang, don’t play dumb!

Although I rejected you, you are not without a chance, you don’t have to be discouraged.

If you get into college, I will give you a chance.”

Hao Qiang was speechless and couldn’t help but said contemptuously: “Oh, then you give me a chance?”

In the previous life, I was single for too long, so I was hungry that night.

That night, the two met, but did not call each other’s name, but the shock and panic in their eyes completely betrayed them.

After she recognized him, she was still so arrogant and cold, like a snowy mountain.

Now that he was reborn, he had better choices and would definitely not continue to waste time on such a common woman.

The past was like the wind, let it go, I was too lazy to care about it anymore.

Chen Mengqi twitched her lips: “That’s impossible, I just said if, if you get into college, I will give you a chance.”

Hao Qiang rolled his eyes, is this human language, give him a chance!

I didn’t want to talk nonsense with her, so I said bluntly:

“Then what are you talking about, give me back the confession letter!”

In his previous life, after Hao Qiang failed to confess, he didn’t continue to pursue her like a lick dog. He was poor but determined, otherwise he wouldn’t be single until he was 38 years old.

What Chen Mengqi pursued was the pursuit and attention of many lick dogs and spare tires.

“Why do you still want to come?

Haha, if you give it to me, it’s mine!”

Although Chen Mengqi looked down on Hao Qiang, she still kept the confession letter as a joke.

In the three years of high school, she has collected eight letters in total. Every time she showed them to her roommates, she would get their envious eyes.

Seeing her proudly raised her head, Hao Qiang suddenly shouted “The principal is here”, and when she turned around in a daze, he quickly snatched the letter and left.

Chen Mengqi turned around and found that her hands were empty. Her chest was heaving, and she pointed at Hao Qiang angrily: “You… liar!”

As soon as the voice fell, Hao Qiang turned around and really walked back.

Chen Mengqi thought he was apologizing to her and returned the letter to her.

If so, she really considered giving him a chance to be a spare tire.

However, what she heard was the other party’s faint question:

“By the way, what day is today?”

Chen Mengqi frowned, just asking this?

Isn’t it pitiful to beg for forgiveness from her?

Seeing his indifference, she gritted her teeth and replied: “Sunday!”

“Oh!”

Hao Qiang nodded, then left, took two steps, patted his head again, turned around and asked:

“What day is today? How many days are left before the college entrance examination?”

Chen Mengqi thought Hao Qiang was teasing her, her chest was heaving, and she glared angrily: “Hao Qiang, don’t go too far!”

After that, she left angrily.

Hao Qiang curled his lips and smiled: “Tsk, you are so angry just because I asked! I really can’t remember it.”

After more than ten years, who still remembers these trivial things in high school.

Suddenly, he received a golden finger prompt.

“Ding, fusion progress 100%!”

“Soul fusion…”

A warm current surged in the body, and the souls of the two lives were quietly merging.

Then, the head seemed to be burned by a raging fire, accompanied by a trace of dizziness. Hao Qiang quickly squatted down and hugged his head to relieve the sudden change.

The fusion of the two souls and memories made him quickly recall his high school life, the exam knowledge points, and today’s time, April 11.

After a while, Hao Qiang’s brain returned to normal, and he found that his memory had improved and his thinking was more agile.

At the same time, a brand new virtual data screen appeared in front of him.

The more Hao Qiang understood, the more shocked he was!

At the same time, Chen Mengqi, who was far away, looked back and saw Hao Qiang squatting with his head in his hands. She thought he was crying and regretting.

Thinking of this, she held her head high and left proudly.
