To be honest, after two years in Liushi, this was Hao Yunyang’s first time entering a digital city with prices ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. Previously, he neither needed these things nor could afford them.
In Hao Yunyang’s impression, those who could consume in such a place were wealthy. The proletariat would at most feast their eyes here, and that too without being allowed to touch.
The digital city had three floors, upper, middle, and lower, with a vast area. Hao Yunyang couldn’t estimate exactly how large, but he knew each floor was at least four times the size of Jinhui Hotel’s lobby, and sweeping the hotel lobby with a mop would take over half an hour.
Standing in the elevator, Hao Yunyang suddenly felt like a lackey, wearing cheap street market clothes, carrying bags, while those around him – women dressed glamorously regardless of age, men in suits and brand-name clothing.
“Someone without confidence probably wouldn’t dare enter such a place,” Hao Yunyang thought amusedly, unconsciously straightening his back. At least, he had entered.
There were many vendors in the digital city. After storing his bags, he was like a blind bird, darting back and forth, never looking at the people around him, but carefully observing computer after computer. His son Hao Zhenhua said computers shouldn’t be laptops, only desktops, because laptops’ form factor limited their functionality, and desktop computers of equivalent price would definitely perform better. Though Hao Yunyang didn’t feel much difference.
Moving from the third floor to the second, then back to the third, the owner of a certain computer counter had been watching Hao Yunyang for a while. Seeing him come up from the second floor again, he thought for a moment and approached: “Young man, I see you’ve been wandering around for a while. Haven’t found what you like?”
“Hehe.” The first person to actively talk to him! Hao Yunyang smiled, not feeling too embarrassed: “It’s not that I don’t like anything, but why are all the displays laptops? Don’t you have desktops?”
