At the county people's hospital, in the sixth - floor surgical ward,
Shen Hao groggily regained consciousness.
The moment his awareness returned to his brain, a wave of pain immediately hit his body.
He felt his entire body sore and weak, with sharp pain shooting through his shoulders.
The pain made Shen Hao suck in cold breaths.
His gaze landed on the nurse who was changing his bandages, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Ugh! Damn, I've finally made it back alive."
As the pain in his arm intensified, Shen Hao couldn't help but turn his head to glance.
He saw a device resembling a water pump attached to his arm.
The nurse, noticing his gaze, explained,
"Lie back down. The anesthesia has worn off, so of course, it will hurt.This pain pump is here to help alleviate the pain."
Hearing this, Shen Hao nodded and said no more.
He closed his eyes and recalled the scene before he got injured.
If he hadn't run fast enough, he probably wouldn't have made it.
That knife - every time he thought of it, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Even now, thinking back, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
That was another world!
Shen Hao only felt a flash of white light, and a sharp, gleaming large knife struck directly at his left shoulder.
Fortunately, Shen Hao ran fast enough; otherwise, his body would have been devoured by wild beasts by now.
That's right, wild beasts.
Although Shen Hao's family wasn't poor, he stood at 178 cm tall with fair skin, inherited from his mother. His sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and thick hair - naturally voluminous without the need for styling - made him look nearly 180 cm tall.
With a bit of effort in grooming, he could easily be considered a handsome guy.
Throughout middle school, high school, and college, his looks were top - tier, always one of the most popular guys in the class.
Even though he was poor, he never lacked attention from women, and his daily expenses were often paid for by them.
But once he entered society, things were different.
Although it was easy to find a girlfriend, when it came to the age for marriage, things often fell apart. The reason was simple - he was just too poor.
Of course, there were women willing to support him, but they were average - looking. Beautiful, wealthy women were still rare.
Women willing to pursue him were not what Shen Hao wanted either. With his strong sense of pride, he wasn't willing to accept such offers.
He had just broken up with one girlfriend, who insisted on having a house in the provincial capital, Chang'an, before getting married.
Shen Hao didn't have the money to buy a house.
After two or three years of back and forth, they eventually parted ways. Shen Hao even started losing his confidence and decided he needed to make
something of himself, to carve out a future.
Reality has hit the face.
He doesn't have any skills, and he's 27 years old.
He doesn't have a house, a car, or a formal job in the county town. In addition, he's an orphan.
His mother fell ill and left when he was six years old, and his father left when he had a mining accident in his first year of junior high school.
My grandparents raised me and I just started my second year of college.
My grandparents have also passed away.
This is considered a fill in the blind date market, and I dare not speak loudly.
Although handsome and eye - catching, there are not many opportunities to monetize one's appearance in society. At least you have to lower your profile and have a chance.
Money is the king.
After wandering aimlessly for four or five years, I also did live streaming, but I couldn't persist and didn't have that talent.
It's only at 27 or 28 that I have a clear understanding of society. Being alone, I just want to live a leisurely life day by day.
I've been hanging around for these few years, but I haven't saved up 20000 yuan on me.
Many people also hinted to Shen Hao that they wanted to take care of him, but the woman was too old for Shen Hao to handle.
I used to work at an electric scooter factory, and an old man on the company's board of directors hinted to Shen Hao that as long as he stayed with him for three years, he would buy a car and a house for Shen Hao, which scared him so much that he resigned directly.
Even if you starve to death, you won't sell
chrysanthemums.
Besides, a man's wife. If he is the joint property of wife will sue him in court, but Shen
Hao mao won't have it.
Later, a friend said that ride - hailing services cost over 600 yuan a day, and as long as one is diligent, they can make money.
So, Shen Hao followed a friend to learn how to car, and started driving a ride - hailing service.
Thinking that even with a little hardship and fatigue, one can still earn some money.
Unexpectedly, the water in this industry is 3000yuan, plus charging and parking fees. Shen Hao opens his eyes every day, parking the car. If he doesn't make money every day when he opens his eyes, it's equivalent to losing 260 yuan.
Due to his lack of understanding of the industry, Shen Hao's rented car was not durable. After running a few times, it ran out of battery.
Either charging, or on the way to charging.
Even more unfortunate is that a few days ago, Shen Hao rear - ended a Rolls Royce.
The 4S store quoted a repair cost of 35000 yuan.
Although these rented ride - hailing cars are also insured, the insurance coverage is very low.
Operating car insurance companies generally opt to provide high insurance as the insurance costs are very high.
In order to reduce the operating costs of vehicles, some ride - hailing rental companies only purchase compulsory traffic insurance for their vehicles, and even more excessively, only purchase compulsory traffic insurance.
Shen Hao's rented car is relatively conscientious and has purchased one million third - party insurance.
The scammer is the ride - hailing driver.
This tram is not fully insured, and the insurance does not include deductibles.
The insurance company compensates proportionally, only paying 20000 yuan, and the remaining 15000 yuan can only be paid by Shen Hao himself.
This tram is not fully insured, and the insurance company excludes deductibles.
The insurance company will compensate proportionally, only paying 20000 yuan, and the remaining 15000 yuan can only be paid by Shen Hao himself.
Not only do we have to pay for the repair costs of Rolls Royce, but we also have to pay for the loss of increased insurance costs.
The operating car had an accident, and the second year's premium was very high, even unwilling to be insured.
There was an accident and the tram was also
I was already poor and unable to open the pot, and now it's even worse.
The provincial capital can't stay any longer. Consumption is too high. It's impossible to pay off the debt until the end of the year.
We have to go back to our hometown to find a job.
Finally, Wang Xiaotao found a job as a day - laborer on a construction site, making 220 yuan a day.
Although he was a temporary worker, the good thing was that his wages were paid daily. The cost of living in the small county was low, and he could
Shen Hao was saddled with 150,000 yuan in debts, which oppressed him so much that he couldbarely breathe.
When people are down on their luck, even drinking cold water seems to get stuck in their teeth.
And this thunder and rain. Three days ago, on a
night of thunder and rain,
Shen Hao, feeling irritable, was urinating under a tree on his way back by the dormitory after drinking, and was struck by lightning.
Perhaps bad luck will also hit rock - bottom and then rebound. This is a new state of life.
A loss may turn out to be a gain.
When Shen Hao regained consciousness, he
found that there was an extra strange space in his consciousness. The space was not small, with a length, height, and width of 2 meters each.
2x2x2, the entire space is eight cubic meters in total.
Even more incredibly, when Shen Hao's body
enters this space, a swirling portal immediately appears.
On the other side of the swirl is another world.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.
Shen Hao, who has read countless cheat - code novels, of course knows that this is his cheat - code power arriving.
Eager to get rich, Shen Hao didn't even have time to investigate this world,
Just entering this world, Shen Hao was extremely excited.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he was in great mood.
There were a few white clouds floating in the
blue sky.
The mountain scenery was thousands of miles around.
The vegetation was lush and the grass was green as far as the eye could see.
Obviously, it was an undeveloped forest.
The air was also extremely fresh. Taking a deep breath, Shen Hao felt completely relaxed and happy. He hadn't been happy for a long time.
Just when he was happily looking around, he saw two middle - aged men in their thirties blocking the way.
They were wearing coarse linen clothes and
obviously not friendly.
They looked at Shen Hao with excited eyes,
and started to approach Shen Hao, as if they understood.
"****"
Although he couldn't understand, having watched countless TV dramas, Shen Hao naturally understood from their actions and expressions.
Damn it, he had run into highway - robbers.
Thanks to the existence of the space, although Shen Hao was a bit scared, he remained relatively calm.
Seeing that Shen Hao didn't speak for a long time, it seemed to irritate the other party.
The man with a full - faced beard on the right didn't say a word. He took a quick step forward and swung a knife.
The bearded man on the right didn't say a word. He took a quick step and slashed at Shen Hao with his knife.
At a distance of four or five meters, before Shen Hao could react, the man was already in front of him, and the knife was directly swung at his shoulder.
Shen Hao was then kicked flying.
In a panic, Shen Hao directly retreated into the space.
When he came out of the space, Shen Hao found that he was still in the rental house, and the time was the same as before he went to the other world. In other words, once he went to the other world, time in the urban world would stand still.
However, at this moment, his clothes were already stained red with blood. How could Shen Hao dawdle? He simply bandaged the wound.
He rushed out in a hurry, stopped a car, and went to the hospital.
He was really afraid that he would die from excessive blood - loss.
Fortunately, the small county had only a few tens of thousands of permanent residents and there was no traffic congestion at all. He arrived at the emergency department of the county hospital in five or six minutes.
Only when he saw the doctor did he finally relax.
Only when he saw the doctor did he finally relax.
The emergency - room doctor examined him and took an X - ray, finding that the bone was not injured.
But the wound was not small, so local anesthesia was administered for stitching.
Fortunately, it wasn't a serious injury. If the stab had been too severe and life - threatening, the hospital would have had to call the police.
For an ordinary stab wound, as long as the family members have no objections, the hospital will just suture it, and the police force won't be wasted on such a minor matter.
Most of the time, if the people don't report, the authorities don't pursue.
Recalling the experiences of the past few days in his mind, Shen Hao felt that he was really brave.
Just thinking about it now gives him a shudder.
Feeling the stabbing pain in his arm, Shen Hao gritted his teeth in hatred and decided to take revenge if he got the chance.
However, when thinking of that man who had appeared in front of him in an instant from a distance of four or five meters, Shen Hao felt a twinge of fear in his heart.
Damn it, this was obviously not an ordinary world.
More crucially, a man who seemed to be at the top of human capabilities was actually wearing coarse linen clothes and robbing people.
This situation indicated that these two fellows were living a very hard life and belonged to the bottom - rung of that society.
For Shen Hao, if such powerful people were only at the bottom of that society, how powerful would the top - level figures be?
Just the thought of it was terrifying.
In a daze, Shen Hao fell asleep again.
I don't know how much time had passed when Shen Hao heard someone calling his name.
"Haozi, Haozi"
Seeing that it was his childhood friend, Shen Hao said, "Lao si, you're here."
"How are you? Are you okay? Damn it, who hurt you? I'll avenge you," said Shen Hao's childhood friend, Wang Xiaotao.
"It's okay. I did it myself. Don't think too much."
"Lao si, I need to trouble you with something."
"What's the matter?"
"Lend me another thousand yuan. I don't have enough for the hospitalization fee."
"No problem. I'll go and top - up for you. Just have a good rest."
"Okay. I'll pay you back when I'm discharged from the hospital."
"Just focus on getting better. We'll talk about it when you have the money."
