Gu Miao, who has always been well-mannered and not showing emotions or anger, couldn't help laughing lowly, laughing angrily.

This world is not only bad, but also full of malice!

Taking a deep breath, she looked at the palm of her hand again. The lines were clear, and the slender fingers were slightly curled up. She still held the wad of money, but the place where there should be money was empty.

The manager who was a few steps away from her came over and was a little puzzled why she didn't move after receiving her salary, so she asked aloud, "Miss Gu, is there anything else?"

Gu Miao lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes, slightly raised the corners of her lips, and said with a polite smile, "It's okay."

The steward left, and Gu Miao was the only one left in the open space.

At this time, the voice in the middle of my mind just because the steward came over sounded again: "...Do you know, because of your death, it will take me a lot of effort to bring you back to life!"

The self-proclaimed system thing in my mind kept chattering: "This little money, to fill the big hole that day, is not enough to make a splash! Fortunately, you can make money after you live. It is a little bit to fill this hole. It is a pity that you got it." There are only ten hours left on the 600 yuan, I am so worried!"

Gu Miao said coldly, "Who are you?"

The voice yelled unreasonably and confidently: "System, system! Didn't I say that I am the system and you are the host!"

Host?

Reminiscent of certain species of parasites and parasitized organisms, the term host is really embarrassing.Then this is called the system, it is worth scrutinizing.

"I don't need it!" Gu Miao couldn't help but want to explode when she thought of such an inexplicable thing in her mind.

"No, you need it!" The system didn't go around in circles with her, and straightforwardly explained the reason: "Do you want to go back? Find those people to settle accounts? Then you need me, and only I can take you back."

Gu Miao sneered, "Oh."

She won't be led by the nose, didn't she say that the 600 yuan in hand can only be left for ten hours?That is to say, money can be exchanged for time. As long as she earns enough money and has endless time, she will not be able to find a way to go back after exhausting her life?

joke!

As if knowing what Gu Miao was thinking, the system sighed and asked back: "To be precise, it's not your money that has become time, but time has become currency for you. From now on, when you buy things, you spend a lot of money." It’s not money anymore, it’s time, if time runs out, you will die. What’s more, without my medium, your money can’t be spent.”

Gu Miao frowned: "Then I will die."

The relationship between the parasite and the parasitized, if it does not grow up quickly and separate from the host, most of them will not be able to escape the fate of death.

It seemed to be choked, and it took a while to persuade: "Don't be overwhelmed, the host works hard to make money, and I can take the host back when I have enough money."

"Need not."

"Oh, when you find a way to go back by yourself, the day lily will be cold, and this is not the small world of the universe, this is the world in the book." The system paused to give Gu Miao time to react. Answer: "You are a small character. We only need to complete the task to go back here. The task is to earn a lot of money and become a rich man. You have never done it before!"

The world in the book?Gu Miao didn't expect this, she thought it was just like going to another time and space as shown on TV.

"Nothing else? It's just this mission?" Gu Miao didn't believe it, but she didn't resist as much at first.

"That's right!" Seeing that the host's attitude softened, the system continued its efforts: "The more you earn, the faster you will go back."

"Oh, you're pretty good."

Gu Miao is cold and ruthless, the system that binds her naturally knows that such a non-emotional compliment was thrown over by the cold and powerful host, causing the system to instantly raise its tail: "Of course, I am us..." Realized Almost being clichéd, the system stopped the conversation in time, and said with a dry smile: "But our lucky star, as long as the host works hard to make money, he will definitely be able to go back soon."

It's a pity that this thing reacted too quickly and didn't get other information, but the future is long.

Gu Miao pursed her thin lips lightly, her quiet eyes were flat and unwavering, like water in a deep pool, dark and quiet, unable to see clearly everything below.

"Then, I still have a girlfriend, shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Gu Miao said coldly.

The system wanted to fool around, but was choked by Gu Miao's "I'll die if you don't tell me" for a long time, and then reluctantly explained the whole story clearly.

They actually have another task, which is to make a certain character in the book happy, and Gu Miao's task object is a person named Wei Ran.

This person is already her girlfriend, and she can only be her girlfriend. If they break up, the mission will collapse, and the system and Gu Miao will disappear into the world.

Oh, Jongse's girlfriend?Gu Miao sneered, she wanted to see who this girlfriend was.

On the sidewalk outside the Shangchao, the ginkgo trees are covered with bright colors, and they are connected in a golden line, extending from one end to the other.Under the clear sky, everything is so harmonious and beautiful.

If life is not counted by the countdown, a short stay here is not bad.

Stepping on the fallen leaves, the footsteps are never in a hurry or slow, and the strides go straight to the end of the commercial street, which is only a few leaves away.

She has always believed that life should be calm and calm, neither hasty nor rash, but now, there is no time.

At the end of the commercial street is a night market street, it's only two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are only a few food stalls on the street preparing for the excitement of the night.

At the T-junction, Gu Miao was standing at the end, opposite was a food stall shop with a cartoon fat old man hanging on it, and a recruitment sign was erected at the door of the shop.

Standing next to the recruitment sign, the woman reflected on the glass next to her was tall and tall, cold and dusty, and the low pressure surrounding her made the middle-aged man who looked like the owner of the food stall dare not come over.

The eyes were drooping, and when he raised them up again, the thin lips curved out, and the corners of the lips were slightly bent, and the aura instantly closed, the food stall owner was obviously relieved.

Gu Miao looked at the boss, "Excuse me, is this place still recruiting?"

"Recruit, recruit!" The chubby middle-aged boss looked at Gu Miao at a loss, and said cautiously, "Miss, do you want to find a job?"

"Ah."

After getting an affirmative answer, the boss immediately became energetic, his small eyes sparkled like a mouse staring at cheese, full of calculations.

"Is the lady full-time or part-time?"

Gu Miao glanced at the boss and said calmly, "Part-time job."

Hearing that it was a part-time job, disappointment flashed across the boss's eyes. He led the way and motioned Gu Miao to enter the store for a detailed discussion. The two entered through the door and sat down at a table by the street.

"If you work part-time, you can only pay ten yuan an hour. Of course, if the business is booming, you can double it at your discretion and include a meal; if you work full-time, it is [-] yuan per month. The working hours are from [-] am to [-] pm, and food is included."

The boss smiled and picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea. The old god was drinking water on the ground, as if he was sure that she would change her mind.

Probably Gu Miao's clothes looked a bit shabby and embarrassing, which made the boss mistakenly think that she was short of money, so she wanted to take advantage of it.

Gu Miao could see this little calculation, and didn't bother to care about it. Instead, she calculated the effort and gain, and found that it was not directly proportional.

Excluding the time for eating, sleeping and commuting every day, if all other time is used for work, there are at least 12 hours, but these 12 hours need to earn enough for 24 hours of natural consumption every day, which is equal to 240 yuan; try to keep meals at 20 yuan Money, plus daily necessities, utilities and other miscellaneous expenses, if the monthly expenses are 300, 10 fast money a day, 600 monthly rent, 20 a day, add up to at least 300 yuan a day to maintain your best basic life.

In this way, you need to earn at least 9000 yuan a month, and the 4500 yuan given by the boss is not enough.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and the boss means that the store closes at eleven o'clock in the evening. If you work well for eight hours, you can earn [-] hours. Including a meal at the food stall, she can save [-] hours.

Adding the previous 600 yuan, it should be no problem to earn rent for the remaining two days.

"Thank you, if you work part-time, do you want to work now?"

The boss who was drinking water was choked, and when he got his breath and stared at him in disbelief, Gu Miao was sitting upright, her eyes fixed on his face.

Probably because Gu Miao was a bit cold, and the meaning was very clear that she wanted to work part-time. Although the boss was disappointed, he still arranged for someone to take Gu Miao to change his work clothes.

The scale of the hot pot restaurant is quite satisfactory, the tables and chairs are neatly arranged horizontally and vertically, and the chopsticks, kettle, and paper towels are fully prepared. It can be seen that the owner has put a lot of effort into running such a restaurant.

Go through the lobby and enter the cubicle at the back, change into the coat and hat with the little chubby old man on it, and the two go to the back kitchen to help.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, it was just getting dark, the street market outside was lit up with dazzling neon lights, and the food stalls also welcomed the first batch of customers.

The commercial street is bustling and bustling, which is naturally covered by the night market street next to the commercial street. The aroma of food wafts in the air, attracting groups of gluttons to linger.

People are walking and shopping, eating while shopping, leisurely and comfortable.

In the food stall, batch after batch of guests came, and Gu Miao served dishes and shuttled between the lobby and the back kitchen for more than six hours without getting tired.

The boss came over and first praised her for being diligent and agile, and then turned the [-]th bend to gently remind her if she could be a little gentler, and it doesn't take too much.

It's a pity that the boss' expectations fell through. Gu Miao was only responsible for the part-time work, and ignored all the politeness and strike-up outside of work.

Her time is precious, wasting it on these irrelevant people, I'm afraid she is not mentally ill.

Of course, in the end, he succumbed to the generous remuneration given by the boss, with a smile on his face and a soft-spoken voice like the most humane waiter.

So, everyone is happy.

It's just that those eyes became darker and colder as they got darker, and the air pressure in the whole body didn't drop, but it made the system in my mind tremble with fright.

As midnight approached, the number of shoppers gradually dwindled, and another group of people came to the crowded night market—night owls who worked overtime and stayed up late.

But the owner of the food stall wanted to close the door, and after paying Gu Miao's salary, he generously asked her to pack some supper and go home.

The last bus left at [-]:[-]. Looking at the search results displayed on the phone, Gu Miao frowned, her thin lips pursed into a line, and her eyes swayed back and forth on the word taxi for the recommended route.

"Miss Gu?"

Gu Miao, who was standing still at the door, sighed in her heart, turned her head to look at the boss who was about to close the door with a puzzled face: "Yeah."

The boss pointed to the street, then pointed to the moon in the sky, "Aren't you going home?"

Of course, but taking a taxi is quite expensive, and it takes four hours to get there.

How long is a person's life? At 80 years old, after deducting the 20 years that have passed, there are still 60 years left.

60 years, 720 months, 21600 days, 518400 hours.

And her current asset is only 26 hours, and when the sun rises tomorrow, she will not have a day to survive.

This is the deposit I got when I promised my boss to be a competent waiter and the other party promised to pay three times the salary.

Holding the phone, Gu Miao said indifferently, "Come back."

"Oh, then you should pay attention to safety on the road, see you tomorrow."

……

The reason why I chose this food stall at the intersection is that I don’t want to waste time looking for which stores need manpower, and it’s very close to the exit of the commercial street.

The bus near the rented area passed the platform here, and it was also very close.This way, she saves a small amount of time.

Gu Miao walked out along the street, passing through the brightly lit commercial street, the bus stop was right in front of her eyes.Gu Miao walked over without giving up, hoping that the search results would be unreliable, and the last bus was at [-]:[-].

It's a pity that on the route board of the platform, the clear operating hours indicate that the search results are quite reliable, and there is really no last train.

That line is too remote, compared to 09:30 in other places, it is very humane to set the last trip at [-]:[-].

At this time, a car stopped in front of the platform, and the window was rolled down to reveal the face of the waitress Cai Qin. She greeted with a smile: "Sister Gu, come with us, Xiaozhi invites us to sit, and he pays for it!"

The window of the co-pilot was rolled down, and the white and clean man was still blushing like a shy little girl, if the emotion in his eyes was not so offensive.

For four hours, in the same car as the person she hated, Gu Miao chose the latter after only a moment of hesitation.
