The rumors were quickly dispelled.
Li Dong's reputation was restored in a short time.
Life also returned to normal.
The price was that a stable source of income had been cut off — the school could not allow students to make a living by working part-time as an underground boxer.
If he could not find a new excuse to explain the source of income, his extravagant spending of ordering more than a dozen dishes at noon every day had to be stopped in time. Otherwise, it would attract unnecessary speculation and prying eyes.
Li Dong had to sigh. It was really hard to pretend to be poor.
Should I give up this disguise and enjoy my game life?
But after thinking about it …
He temporarily canceled this plan … The ordinary high school life still had to continue for a while.
Because Li Dong still wanted to understand the world in more detail.
"Although Eastern Jupiter's technology, productivity, culture, and other aspects have developed to an advanced stage, the class differentiation is serious, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge. It is quite difficult for ordinary people to change their fate and complete the transition.
"This is actually a problem that any civilization will encounter, and the real world is the same. As long as most people can barely survive, there will not be too much chaos.
"However … if this society becomes fairer through reform, and more ordinary people have the opportunity to change their fate, the development speed and potential of Eastern Jupiter will be significantly improved.
"A healthy system can often burst out 200% of its ability."
Therefore, Li Dong still had to continue to observe. After coming up with his own conclusions and judgments, he would come up with a targeted reform plan to make Eastern Jupiter more dynamic.
…
At noon that day.
"Student Ryu, I brought you a lunchbox, a super large one. Let's have lunch together."
Denen Satoshi brought a large lunchbox in front of Li Dong and said with a smile.
"Student Satoshi, you're really too kind."
Li Dong shook his head. "Although my income from working has decreased a lot, it's not to the point where I can't even afford to eat right away. Besides, I'm a man. How can I always trouble you? Please take care of my feelings. "
"I know. I'll bring you a lunchbox occasionally in the future. Student Ryu can't get used to it if I always bring carrots and potatoes. If my family buys a lot of meat at once, I'll treat you to a better meal. "
Denen Satoshi said considerately.
"Thank you for understanding me."
Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief. If a girl was too enthusiastic about him, it would also be a kind of trouble and trouble. It was better to keep a little distance.
During the meal.
"Touki, have you found a new part-time job? You should be in need of money, right?" Nishihara Kaori, who was sitting next to him, suddenly asked.
"Not at the moment. I'm not satisfied with my hourly pay."
"I have a relative who opened a restaurant and needs to hire two bodyguards and a waiter, but I think you can take on these three positions. If you're willing, I'll ask my relative to pay you 30 yuan per hour and work five hours a night … Touki, I wonder if you're interested in this job?"
Nishihara Kaori smiled and added, "It just so happens that I also work at that restaurant. We can take care of each other."
What?
Denen Satoshi turned her head and looked at her friend in surprise. Her eyes were filled with astonishment, and her face suddenly darkened.
What did Nishihara mean by this?
Just because you have a relative who runs a shop, you can do such a thing?
Is this how good friends should behave?
However, she was more concerned about Touki's choice. Would he agree or reject?
She clenched her fists and stared straight at Li Dong's face, hoping that he would understand her intentions and not agree so easily.
Nishihara Kaori looked calm. For this matter, she had coaxed and pestered her relative many times, and finally got her relative to agree. It could be said that she had obtained a good card.
As for Touki, she was more than eighty to ninety percent sure that Touki would accept the job she recommended. The hourly pay of 30 yuan was close to that of a regular employee, and it was more than enough.
Moreover, Touki owed her a favor.
In addition, they would work together, communicate every day, and run into each other. After a long time, the effect would definitely be better than Denen Satoshi's bento.
So, turning her face slightly, Nishihara Kaori had already begun to admire the defeated expression on her good friend Denen Satoshi's face. She thought to herself, I'm sorry, Satoshi. Touki is too outstanding. I can't help but want to help him.
"No need. Thank you for your kindness, but I won't consider working at the restaurant you mentioned."
Li Dong's words stunned Nishihara Kaori, and Denen Satoshi looked pleasantly surprised.
"Wh … why?" Nishihara Kaori murmured, "Do you have any concerns?"
"I don't have any concerns."
Li Dong shook his head. "I just feel that the income is too little. 150 yuan a day is not enough to meet my needs at all. Even if I double it, it won't be enough."
He continued, "Also, I've recently thought of a good project. If this project is successful in the market, it might bring me tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. This way, I'll be able to pay for my college tuition and living expenses in the future. If the project unfortunately fails, then I can only find an ordinary part-time job and slowly save up. At that time, I might accept your invitation, Nishihara Kaori. "
"What project is that, Touki?" Nishihara Kaori asked.
"A game. I intend to make a popular action game, and I'm prepared to invest all my savings."
"A game?"
Nishihara Kaori was taken aback. "Isn't this something that can only be done by a company? How can you do it by yourself? The risk is too great, Touki. You don't have any relevant experience. Why don't you give up? This kind of entrepreneurial behavior has a high probability of failure. Don't take that risk. "
Nishihara Kaori was not deliberately discouraging him, but after the social class solidified, technology, capital, and production materials were all in the hands of those fixed companies. The chances of ordinary people succeeding in entrepreneurship were almost zero.
"Don't try to persuade me anymore, Nishihara!"
Li Dong raised his palm and said, "That's my character. I won't stop until I try. Whether it succeeds or fails, it's better to do it first … Please don't persuade me anymore!"
In fact, he would 100% refuse Nishihara Kaori … even if she found him a job with an hourly salary of millions.
After all, he could not be active in the game 24 hours a day. Seven or eight hours was his limit. How could he have time to work?
Therefore, no matter what kind of job it was, it was impossible for him to work.
Secondly, due to the lack of "innovation ability," Eastern Jupiter's game industry was quite primitive and backward. Li Dong could casually copy a game from Earth. As long as the game was fun, he would definitely be successful in terms of money.
Therefore, he was 100% confident in his "entrepreneurship."
"Alright, Touki, I respect your opinion," Nishihara Kaori said helplessly. What else could she say if he was not satisfied with an hourly salary of 30 yuan?
"Ryu, I will support you. You can do it!"
Denen Satoshi was a little overjoyed.
