In Modern Times (I)

I am an ordinary company employee. The greatest joy every day is to be able to get off work on time.

This was often impossible because only by working overtime could I get more pay and gain a sense of security.

"In this aspect, our boss is not bad. At least he will pay enough for overtime. Unlike the company next door, he only knows how to shout slogans and give his employees stimulants. He can't bear to pay a single cent more.

According to my observation, they are not far from closing down because their boss has already sold second-hand office computers in his WeChat Moments.

I didn't discover this. I don't have their boss's WeChat at all. This came from word of mouth among the employees.

In this world, gossip did not exist wherever there were women, but wherever there were people.

Of course, I didn't have absolute confidence in this statement. There was once a dog and a cat who made me feel that they were also watching the show and gossiping.

Just like now, the golden retriever that always appeared near the building was squatting inside the door.

Seriously, looking at its fur, it didn't look like it didn't have an owner. How could it walk the dog without a leash? This kind of guy shouldn't have kept a pet. He had no morals at all! Eh, there was a collar and a rope around its neck, and the other end of the rope was in its mouth…As I muttered, I thought of the meme that was popular online.

It had strong self-management abilities!

I clicked my tongue and looked out of the glass door. The sky was abnormally dark, and the bean-sized rain penetrated the hot and humid environment and crashed onto the ground.

F * ck, it came down so quickly! At this moment, I want to ask the heavens.

It was not easy for me to get off work on time one day, but there was a rainstorm, and I didn't even bring an umbrella!

When I was in the office, I noticed that it was dark and stuffy outside. I knew that a storm was coming, but I thought that I still had enough time to run to the bus stop.

By the time the bus arrived near my rented house, the rain should have stopped or lessened. After all, the rain in summer came and went quickly.

I couldn't resist the urge to give God the middle finger. I turned my head helplessly and looked at the golden retriever squatting by the door. I casually said,

"You didn't bring an umbrella either?"

This sentence was essentially my own self-mockery, but the next second, I was shocked.

The golden retriever rolled his eyes at me.

She rolled her eyes at me.

A glance.

I told you, this dog is a little human! I withdrew my gaze and mumbled.

I looked at the storm outside again and considered whether I should rush to the bus stop.

I sniffed. Considering that I had not recovered from my cold, I restrained this urge.

Sigh, as a man, isn't it normal to only bring a cell phone and a key to hang a bus pass and access card to work?

Who would carry a bag and an umbrella?

These days, I often forget to even bring change.

Forget it, forget it. I'll go back to my office and sit for a while. I'll browse the web and leave when the rain subsides. If it really doesn't work, I'll order takeout…I sighed and turned around to walk to the elevator.

Suddenly, I noticed a vending machine in the corner of the building's lobby.

"Coffee?" This made me suddenly want to drink something.

Since I had financial freedom when it came to drinks that cost less than 10 yuan, I walked over confidently and browsed through the drinks in the vending machine.

Mai Dong, Nong Fu, Master Kang iced black tea, Jasmine tea…Eh... As I looked at them one by one, I noticed something strange.

It was a box. It was placed in the corner of the top row of drinks.

"What the hell?" I looked at the screen and read the scrolling images and words.

Soon, I understood what the box was.

That was the recently popular " blind box "!

"Even drinks have blind boxes these days? IQ tax…Gambling is indeed exciting…" As I mumbled, I curiously browsed through the contents of the blind beverage box.

"D * mn, this is interesting."

It was actually a new beverage related to the blind box. It had never appeared on the market before. Moreover, the bottle had a special sense of design, and the name was very stylish!

" Seer, Apprentice, Bard, Warrior, Sleepless. Ha, I like that. There's also Lawyer, Assassin, Hunter…" I glanced at the price of the blind box and realized that it only cost 5 yuan.

It was unexpectedly cheap, so I decided to give it a try.

Life is short, why not give it a try?

As a social animal, he had to work from nine in the morning to six, seven, eight, nine, and ten every day. After deducting work, eating, sleeping, and commutes, he had very little free time.

Day after day, even a robot would find life monotonous and boring.

The surrounding housing prices were even more depressing. They lost the motivation to work hard and became dispirited.

It was an occasional surprise to be able to find a new thrill that did not cost much other than cheap entertainment such as novels, anime, videos, and games.

I took out my phone and scanned the QR code to pay.

At the same time, I muttered a few names in my heart:

"Seer, Sleepless, Spectator, Assassin…"

These are the drinks that I hope will come out of the blind box.

As long as it's one of them, I'm satisfied.

After paying, the vending machine seemed to be stuck and did not move for a long time.

I suspect it wants to donkey me.

"Do we still have to fill it on the spot?" As I complained, I seriously considered making a complaint.

At this moment, the vending machine finally moved. The blind box retreated and fell to the pick-up opening with a clang.

"It's time to witness a miracle!" I lowered my waist, pushed open the door, and took out the blind box that wasn't beautifully packaged.

After quickly dismantling the box, I saw a bottle with many snakes intertwined with each other.

Based on the image I saw on the screen, I immediately recognized which drink it represented.

As a player of Assassin's Creed, this was the result I was looking forward to.

Assassin!
