Chapter 2 River Crab
"Ah... this guy is really useless..." Taking out the wallet, Bai Zhi counted the remaining money in the wallet. Thenhe took out his mobile phone and logged into the online banking to check the balance in the bank card. After seeing the balance, he couldn’t help covering his forehead with his hand and sighing with a headache.
At present, his entire net worth, plus the balance in the bank card, totaled 328 yuan and 50 yuan, and the monthly rent of the house he was currently renting outside the campus was 1,000 yuan, and there were still three days until the monthly rent due.
In other words, he had no money.
And the original plan of the previous owner was to borrow money from his ex-girlfriends...
In the past, with scholarships and the money earned from work-study programs, he who spent money carefully was not short of money. But since he became addicted to the game, his grades had been declining, and he always squandered his money in the game.
Even in the end, because the counselor often came to his dormitory to educate him, this guy simply moved out of the dormitory and rented a house outside the campus. Skipping classes and leaving early also became a common occurrence for him.
Bai Zhi really couldn't figure it out. How could such a lame guy get seven girlfriends... Was it just relying on this face and shamelessness?
- Are there so many girls with pretty boy complexes in this world?
Bai Zhi felt that this question was worth thinking about.
After picking up the phone and checking the time, Bai Zhi guessed the first class had already started so he decided to skip class decisively.
After all, he was a newcomer to this world. Although he inherited the memory of the previous owner who died suddenly because of staying up all night several nights, he still didn't know much about this world.
However, judging from "Bai Zhi"'s unremarkable life in the past 17 years, this world should be no different in other aspects except for some historical backgrounds that were slightly different from his original world. After all, the level of technological development was also the same, and it seemed that it has just entered the 5g era...
"It feels good to live again..."
Going to the window facing the snack street and stretching, Bai Zhi sighed with emotion.
The current time was 9:20 in the morning, and it was monday. At this time, there were classes for both freshmen and sophomores. Aside from some internet addicts who had just come out of the internet cafe after spending a night in the internet cafe, the normally lively snack street seemed very quiet now.
"Well... I'm not in a hurry to make money and pay the rent, but for now... mhm!?"
Out of the corner of his eyes, Bai Zhi accidentally caught a glimpse of something at the crossroads in the snack street, and he couldn't help being stunned.
In the sight of his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, a river crab that looked like it ran out of the river in League of Legends was squatting there.
"A mascot? Or… Holy shit, it moved!?"
Bai Zhi rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and he continued to look over there. If the scene in his eyes was not an illusion, then the unknown creature crouching and moving back and forth at the crossroads was indeed a river crab.
But the problem was that in the face of such a species that was obviously impossible to appear in the real world, those around them turned a blind eye.
"Okay, I take back that this is an ordinary world… Wait."
Originally, he wanted to go downstairs to take a closer look at it, but as if he thought of something, he changed his mind and took out his mobile phone to take a photo of the river crab.
Unsurprisingly, the image of the river crab in the photo just taken in his mobile phone album was a tabby cat pacing lazily on the street.
"So in the eyes of others, is that river crab just a cat? Then the question arises..."
Looking down at the photo on the phone, and then looking up at the river crab that was still pacing over there, Bai Zhi had a thoughtful look on his face.
"...Is there something wrong with my eyes, or is there something wrong with the world?"
River Crab’s real name is called Rift Scuttlers in the MOBA game "League of Legends", and is a non-epic wild monster.
It is an elusive non-aggressive patrolling monster. Killing this monster will provide a speed shrine in the river, provide speed bonuses to passing allies, and passively provide vision.
——This is the information about river crabs in Bai Zhi's impression.
Watching the figure of the river crab disappear at the crossroads, Bai Zhi returned to the desk in front of the bed and turned on his computer, and began to search for some related things on the Internet.
Half an hour later, he put down the mouse and leaned back on the back of the chair. Arms crossed, Bai Zhi squinted slightly and muttered in his mouth
"There are really too many strange things in this world..."
On the Internet, the focus of his search was mainly urban strange stories. According to his search on the Internet and a temporary table he made, he could clearly find that in the past three months, various types of urban bizarre rumors had been circulating on the Internet in an endless stream.
Something like, when the family members went to visit the grave seven days after the burial, they heard noises from inside the coffin. The family members took the courage to open the coffin and found that the old man was playing mahjong inside the coffin.
Or a certain guy jumped down from an eighteen-story building and miraculously survived. The doctor proved that he had become a rubber man.
Or the body of a homeless man was found strung on the bottom of a utility pole. Experts believed that this was a new type of suicide that deserved everyon’s attention.
These absurd and even a bit spoofed weird stories, once widely spread, would be censored and deleted on a large scale. Bai Zhi found these spoof-like weird stories that survived by chance on the Internet were extremely ridiculous and abnormal. Netizens would only find it funny and would not take it seriously.
If it wasn’t for that fact that Bai Zhi wasn sure that his eyesight was fine, he would’ve naturally laughed at these things as a joke. But the river crab he saw half an hour ago was real, which made him suspicious of the veracity of these myths.
In fact, on the Internet, there were also many strange stories about witnessing unknown creatures. For example, a netizen said that he saw a slender creature, similar to a utility pole in the distance last night, but there were two weird things like loudspeakers on its head. And there some netizens saying they saw a huge creature with a body similar to a fish swimming in the clouds during the daytime...
Bai Zhi felt that there was something wrong with this world.
