"Smelly brat, come out and pay your rent!"
"I know you're in there. Stop pretending you can't hear me!"
Outside the rented room, the landlord was about ready to break down the door.
But Lin Fan pretended not to hear, still sitting on his cracked wooden chair, playing Ping Duo Duo.
Today is May Day, a worker's holiday, and Ping Duo Duo is having a promotion. He was hoping to take advantage of the deal to get some instant noodles and sausage.
"You wait right there, smelly brat. I'm going to get some food. Once I’m back, if you still don’t open the door, you’re in for it!"
Lin Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he also chuckled bitterly.
He had been struggling in society for more than three years now.
In these three years, he had not gained a house, car, or savings. On the contrary, he was now knee-deep in debt.
He didn't even have a job anymore.
Nowadays, he was living off credit, just getting by day by day.
His current lifestyle was essentially giving up - he didn't want to get a job, he just wanted to lay around at home and wait for death.
"What a goddamn May Day sale. It's just raise prices before lowering them again. These capitalists and their schemes, it’s just too deep."
Lin Fan complained, then laid back on his bed and started playing "Kings of Glory".
Played two rounds, and lost them both.
He began to feel gradually anxious.
In a while, the landlord will arrive.
What should he do?
There's only a few hundred dollars left on his online credit account, not nearly enough to cover a quarter's rent.
Will the landlord kick him out then?
If that's the case, he'll have to sleep on the streets.
Lin Fan started to worry.
He was somewhat regretful inside. All of this was caused by his own loafing and laziness.
At that moment, an app suddenly appeared on Lin Fan's phone.
"Parallel-Penny Trillion Subsidy Super Version!"
Parallel-Penny?
Was this developed by a rival company to Many-More?
Lin Fan momentarily forgot about his rent and focused all his attention on this app.
He clicked in to take a look.
The interface was very similar to Many-More, with myriad discount promotions emerging one after another.
Original price of WangZai Milk: 5 yuan, trillion subsidies price: 3.14 yuan.
Original price of Wahaha: 8 yuan, trillion subsidies price: 6 yuan.
Original price of WeiLong Spicy Strips: 10 yuan, trillion subsidies price: 7.8 yuan.
......
Lin Fan felt disappointed. This app had no difference from the rest.
A few yuan off was not what he wanted.
He clicked to exit the app blandly, preparing to uninstall it.
Such a useless app would only secretly consume his data usage without any benefit.
At this moment, a message suddenly popped up within the interface of the app.
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully browsing twenty items. Would you like to bind your personal information?"
"Note: Only after binding personal information, users can use all functions of this product and become VIP users to enjoy enormous VIP trillion subsidies discount!"
Lin Fan read it silently in his heart and hesitated for a while.
VIP trillion subsidies discount.
That seemed rather tempting.
But he had never heard of this name, BinShaoShao. Could it be one of those rogue apps?
Deliberately using the gimmick of discounts to entice users to bind personal information, and then selling the user's information to those scam gangs.
Lin Fan fell for this in the past.
His personal information was sold by the bank, resulting in various loan companies calling him.
Asking him if he wanted to apply for a loan.
A minimum of ten calls a day - completely fed up.
Thinking for a moment, Lin decided to give it a try. If it was just a gimmick, he would hurry up and cancel it.
