Rebirth in America - Chapter 412
c411 Gang leader Qiao’s counterattack
In early 1974, Jobs had just taken a break from college. He said he was still living in the school dormitory, and sometimes he would sit in on classes with his classmates.
But mostly, Jobs spent time exploring the mysteries of the spiritual realm with friends, smoking various mushrooms, and even going to a collective farm to pick apples with others.
Under Alex’s influence, the world has long been filled with personal computers, and there are places where you can access the Internet everywhere. In the original history, Jobs did not create the Apple generation with his little friend Woz. Because of this, Jobs was still poor, eager to make money but also wanted to be detached, and as a result he lost his direction.
This situation became more serious after Jobs returned from India. With the encouragement of his friends, he went on a spiritual journey. As a result, he was still confused. He said to others: “I just want to figure out what I am like.” Man, how should I fit into this world?”
Jobs’ confusion essentially stems from his origin. He didn’t know who his biological parents were. There was a hole in his heart and he wanted to fill it. There is also the contrast between Jobs’ desire for money and status and reality, which makes him feel out of tune with the world.
By the summer of 1974, things had taken a turn for the better.
At that time, Jobs had just returned to the United States from India, but he discovered that there were rumors in the society about Alex and Rune Technology.
“Rune seeds?” Jobs looked a little unconvinced by something like something in a science fiction novel. In fact, this kind of thing has been published in tabloids for a long time, but in the eyes of many people, it is just a rumor.
Alex has never publicly confirmed the authenticity of such news.
But this time Jobs had to believe it because his good friend Woz had been working in a subsidiary of Ark Group. This time Rune Technology Company promoted seeds on a large scale, and Woz was lucky enough to get a spot. You need to spend money to buy this seed, but you can owe it first and pay it off slowly later.
at first. Many employees are not using this quota. After someone is the first to eat crab. People around him followed suit and bought the seeds one after another. Woz is one of them. As a middle-class person, it is quite difficult for him to come up with $100,000 at once.
Seeing everyone around him buying seeds, Woz gritted his teeth and applied for a loan from the company to buy the seeds. After he got the seeds, he couldn’t wait to implant them. The changes that followed can simply be described as earth-shaking.
Woz, who was originally unattractive, gradually became more confident and charming under the influence of the seeds. When his friend Steve Jobs came back, Woz couldn’t wait to show him the power of seeds.
Even a level 1 Black Iron seed can give Woz superhuman strength, agility and reflexes! Various physical fitness data are simply much better than those of Olympic athletes.
These are nothing, what is more important is. People who have implanted seeds can enter the “heaven space” at any time through a network terminal connection. This ability made Jobs extremely envious. He had always wanted to have such an ability, and he saw some kind of business opportunity in it.
“Woz! Do you have any extra seeds?” Jobs also wanted to get a seed. He wanted to escape from the real world. Find your own value elsewhere.
Woz shook his head and said that he had no way to help his friend get the seeds. However, he reminded his friend: “Rune Technology Company is promoting their game, and it is said that 100,000 seeds will be given away for free! If you are lucky, you might get it!”
After learning the news, Jobs ran out like the wind. He found a place with Internet access, logged into the official website of Rune Technology Company, registered his personal information, and waited for the next lottery. These 100,000 seeds were not given away at once, but in 5 batches of lottery draws.
In the next few days, Jobs waited anxiously and checked the lottery results online from time to time. At this time, he was still living with several classmates from the university. Although he had suspended school and had not paid tuition or anything, the school did not drive him away.
It was a Sunday, and the sky was just getting dark, but Jobs had already gotten up to meditate. After a while, he got up, rinsed his mouth, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then left the dormitory to buy breakfast.
When he went out, he noticed that one or two classmates had not come back all night. They might have stayed out for the night, or they might have gone to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet.
When he passed several Internet cafes outside the school, he saw many familiar faces walking out of them. Speaking of new things like Internet cafes, they have only developed in the past ten years. In the beginning, Internet access in Internet cafes was very expensive, costing US$10 per hour. After several years of development, the cost of Internet access has become lower and lower, and now you can get Internet access for one dollar for one hour.
Even so, there are many students who do not go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet. They bought computers themselves and then pulled network cables to their dormitories. Only poor people like Jobs would go to Internet cafes to access the Internet.
Thinking of this, Jobs glanced at the people walking out of the Internet cafe, and sure enough he saw a pair of depressed and depressed faces. Each of those people had sunken eyes, a look of decadence on their faces, and a strong smell of smoke on their bodies. These are all classmates who work all night in Internet cafes. They are basically poor and short. In the past, Jobs was just like them, spending all day in Internet cafes.
During this time, Jobs had woken up and went to India on a spiritual journey to find a way to realize his self-worth. After learning about the “Rune Seeds” from Woz, he had a feeling that his future lay in this aspect.
“We must get the seeds!” Jobs clenched his fist tightly and said to himself secretly. He didn’t want to live like this in a few more years.
After breakfast, Jobs walked into the Internet cafe.
He came here to check information online and wanted to know the lottery situation of Rune Technology Company earlier. If he doesn’t win, he has made up his mind to find a way to save 100,000 US dollars to buy seeds.
“Huh?” After Jobs refreshed the web page, he suddenly saw a familiar number. That was his Social Security number, unmistakable. “Did you win the lottery? Really?”
Jobs looked a little unbelievable. He looked at it for about a minute before he was sure that he had really won the prize. Refreshed several times. The results displayed are the same. That was indeed his number.
“Haha! I won! I won!” Jobs jumped up excitedly and shouted.
Fortunately during this time period. There were only three or two kittens in the Internet cafe. Those people just turned to look at Jobs and didn’t pay much attention to him.
After learning that he had won the prize, Jobs quickly went back to get his identification and other information. All winners must collect their prizes in person at the nearest Rune Technology branch. Fortunately, there was one nearby, and Jobs arrived not long after taking the bus.
He handed his identification to the staff and quickly received a test tube.
“Is this a seed?” Jobs looked at the small luminous bead in surprise, feeling indescribable excitement in his heart.
“Yes!” the staff member replied: “You have to use seeds here, this is the rule of the event!”
This is to prevent someone from reselling the seeds. Rune Technology Company will never allow such a thing to happen. Under the watchful eyes of the staff, Jobs took the seeds into his palm. Then choose to receive seed implantation.
A strange feeling came from within his body. Since Jobs himself was neither a celebrity nor a practitioner, his body did not accumulate much mental power. The level of the seed is only Black Iron Level 1. However, this was enough, and Jobs quickly mastered the operation of the seed system and connected it to the “Paradise Space”.
Experiencing something he had never experienced before, Jobs almost forgot where he was. Fortunately, the staff quickly brought him back to reality.
“Sir, please don’t go online yet. We still have some things we haven’t explained clearly,” the staff member said.
Jobs quickly disconnected, returned to real space, and asked, “Is there anything else?”
“You are able to connect to the Internet now because our company has wireless Internet terminals. Once you leave this environment, you will not be able to access the Internet.” The staff patiently explained to him.
“Then what should I do?” Jobs asked anxiously.
“In addition to giving away seeds during our event, we also have a wireless Internet device. No matter where you are, as long as you are within the earth’s atmosphere, you can use it to connect to the Internet. But it is only limited to rune seeds. Only users can connect!”
Hearing such words, Jobs couldn’t help but be moved: “So awesome? Come and show it to me!”
The staff member quickly took out a box containing something that looked like a watch. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net If you take a closer look, you can see that it actually has the function of a watch and has many additional functions. Its biggest function is that it allows seed users to connect to the Internet through it.
You should know that the force field range of each seed user is different. If they leave the environment of the terminal signal, the connection will be lost and the network will be interrupted. In order to ensure that everyone can stay connected at all times, Rune Technology Company and Ark Group Company jointly developed this watch-like terminal. As long as you wear this watch, you can always be within the signal range.
After Jobs put it on carefully, he asked, “How much does this cost?”
The staff member smiled: “It’s free, it’s also one of the gifts. However, if you want to access the Internet, you still have to pay the Internet fee.”
Jobs was also a little depressed when he heard that he had to pay the Internet fee. He was so poor now that it was very difficult to find money for food, let alone the Internet fee. Fortunately, the staff told him that the watch itself had been pre-charged with three months of network fees, so he didn’t need to think about so many things for the time being.
“Wait! I will definitely be able to get ahead!” Jobs touched his watch and swore secretly.
