Half a year passed quietly, and Gu Shun also celebrated his first birthday.

In the past six months, the old woman got up early and went to bed late every day, and worked tirelessly to fold paper flowers.

In order to buy expensive milk powder for Gu Shun, she had to work harder than before.

I originally wanted to go to the orphanage to adopt a child who could share the work for me, but I got a child who was still breastfeeding.

This made the originally less wealthy family even worse.

However, even if you are tired or hard, you can watch your smooth growth with your own eyes, and the old lady is very happy.

This hard work is nothing.

Gu Shun naturally took all this into consideration.

Although this family is very poor, he has never lacked a bite of food since he came here.

Gu Shun calculated that his grandmother could earn 1 copper spoon for every white flower, while a can of the cheapest milk powder costs about 350 copper spoons.

She had to fold 350 paper flowers to save herself a week's money for milk powder.

Grandma is old and has difficulty in hand and footwork, so it often takes a long time to fold a paper flower.

As I grow up, the demand for milk powder will be greater, and my grandmother can only work day and night to meet Gu Shun's needs.

Whenever Gu Shun watched the third update in the middle of the night, his grandmother was still bent down to work in front of a dim light. Her body, which was already a little hunched, seemed even more hunched, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He wished he could grow up quickly so that he could help his grandmother share the work so that he could enjoy his old age.

So not long after Gu Shuncong came, he began to understand the customs and culture outside in order to find a way to make money, while practicing walking desperately.

After half a year of experience and hearing, Gu Shun has a preliminary understanding of the world he lives in.

At the same time, he could also use some tools to walk barely.

He learned that the place where he lived was called Lower Town, and it also had a very notorious name, Wudu.

Because the city here is covered by storms of dark fog all day long, the fog never dissipates all year round. Even at noon when the sun is the hottest, the sky of the entire city is as dark as a layer of gauze.

These mists contain a large amount of toxic miasma and particulate matter, which is very harmful to the human body, animals and plants.

Therefore, the crop yield in Xiacheng is very low, people often don’t have enough food, and most of them are plagued by pollution, diseases, and short-lived poverty.

The Lower Town is therefore called a gathering place for slums and sick people, and is looked down upon by everyone.

However, the pollution in the lower city does not come from itself.

On the east side of the Lower City, there are two high towers. Through the border inspection isolated from the high tower, it goes east. It is an extremely prosperous and prosperous city. The upper city is also called the Rainbow City or the City of Hope, and the City of Never Sleeping.

According to people who have seen the scene of the city with their own eyes, there are skyscrapers made of steel, one by one, and the streets are neat and clean. Countless colorful neon projections play rich advertisements, and even cars that can float in the air.

People living there are all wearing high-tech equipment that can be projected, and they can also shuttle through a chip in a world called the metaverse.

Those who say these words are the old man who is called the madman Joe.

It is said that when he was young, he was hired by the master of Shangcheng and delivered a batch of goods to Shangcheng as a driver.

The upper city and the lower city used to belong to the same city-state called Maita. The upper city is full of tall towers and the lower city is full of wheat fields.

But later, with the outbreak of technology, the gap between the upper city and the lower city became wider and wider.

The upper city gradually became a paradise of wealth and technology, while the lower city was squeezed out of talents and resources, and most of them became slums with civilians everywhere.

Later, because the people in the Lower City stole, robbery and rebellion from the upper city, the upper city set up a border inspection in the same place as the lower city.

Except for merchants and diplomats, all people from downtown are not allowed to enter the uptown. People from uptown are also prohibited from exporting any resources and technology to the downtown in any form.

This border inspection has existed for more than a hundred years.

Old man Qiao is only in his seventies this year, but he said that he had been to Shangcheng before. Others only thought he was aging and crazy, and he was just talking nonsense.

No one has seen what the upper city looks like, it must be similar to the lower city.

Gu Shun was quite concerned about the words of the madman Qiao. If the facts were really as he said, then the technological level of this world is definitely much higher than that of the city like Lower City, which was abandoned by the times.

Moreover, Gu Shun found that the fog in the lower city floated from the direction of the upper city.

The miserable scenes of the lower city today are all thanks to the upper city. The prosperity of the upper city has caused the lower city to suffer. This is like some shameless great powers in the previous life.

However, what Gu Shun needs to solve the most urgent problem at the moment is food and survival.

As for the upper city, it is just an out of reach.

Just as Gu Shun was thinking, a prompt suddenly popped up in the Sims system.

【Life nodes have been updated】

[Age 0, you were born and a boy. Your mother threw you away in a landfill, but unfortunately she did not leave the garbage plant. You were sent to the orphanage by a kind landfiller]

[At the age of 1, you successfully modified your life nodes, were adopted by a kind-hearted person, and reversed your life. Thanks to grandma's careful care, you no longer have to endure hunger]

【Congratulations on getting the trigger reward, talent selection opportunity 1】

【Please choose 1 of the following talents as a reward】

【Talent 1: Pet Killer (F-level), the pet you keep will always die unfortunately]

【Talent 2: Children with cerebral palsy (level f) unfortunately suffer from cerebral palsy, and their intelligence will be cleared]

[Talent 3: Can't grasp (F-level), you can always withstand temptation, and meeting an Uncle Pan can remove this talent]

[Talent 4: Can be a man or a woman (D-level), you have dual-sex charm, women's clothing is beautiful and handsome, your appearance will be improved]

[Talent 5: Difficult and complicated diseases (level f), you have obsessive-compulsive disorder and paranoia of being victimized]

...

[Talent 10: Scavenger (level d), you have a natural judgment on garbage and can see the functions and attributes of some items]

Gu Shun looked at the prompts of the Sims system and silently sighed that he was already 1 year old.

Since he left the orphanage early, he completed the modification of his life node.

And this time the system actually rewarded an extra talent choice opportunity.

This made Gu Shun very happy.

He thought that the winning rate of this extra talent reward was the same as that of Pin Xixi's slash, and it would basically not trigger.

Unexpectedly, it was found after just two simulations. This system is quite conscientious.

Without having time to think too much, Gu Shun immediately chose talent.

This time, the talent level is significantly worse than the talent lottery before entering this world.

There are only 2 D-levels, and the rest are all F-levels.

But the only thing that remains unchanged is that these talents are still very deceptive.

Pet killers, children with cerebral palsy, difficult and complicated diseases... What the hell is this? If Gu Shun chose these talents, he would be truly cerebral palsy.

As for the one that cannot be grasped, Gu Shun has strong self-control and will never be able to grasp it. He does not need to let Uncle Pan do it.

There is also the D-level talent that can be both men and women, which is simply the god-level talent of women's clothing enthusiasts.

But he doesn't need to wear women's clothing to deceive men's feelings.

Gu Shun swears that no matter how many times he simulates reincarnation, he will never wear women's clothing.

Judging from these talents, Gu Shun chose the last one without hesitation.

Just because he has no choice.

The scavenger seems to be the only more serious talent.

【Congratulations, choose the talented scavenger】

[Currently equipped with talent: cool life (passive: trust without order), Exploration, Scavenger]

Gu Shun came to his senses and the door of the room was knocked.

Grandma got up and opened the door.

The one knocking on the door was Old Man Wang who lived next door.

"Pret Li, I heard that the gypsies came down to the city. People who have been there said that they brought all kinds of strange gadgets and were still collecting various items. If you have any unwanted things at home, you might go and change them to a good price."

"Gypsy?" Gu Shun suddenly became interested.

"I'm busy, and look at my family's poor jingling, where can I change anything?" Grandma was about to refuse.

"Grandma, I'm going to see it." Gu Shun opened his arms and begged with a nice look.

Grandma immediately smiled and hurriedly picked up Gu Shun and stroked his head affectionately.

"Okay, okay, my Shunshun wants to go, grandma will accompany you."

Old Man Wang was stunned, "I just said I was not available, so I changed my face too quickly."
