СКАЧАТЬ and what is an Ouiet Running is?”

      “Oh, oh, my ears wilt from your accent!” – he grimaced.

      “Rum, do not f… with me!”

      “Ok, while you, our proud bird, unload the wagons.”

      “Ships.”

      “Planes, for all I care. So, while you are doing god knows what, the world moves on. It just jumps, damn it!”

      And the red-headed Jewish Roma began to tell:

      “Today there has been a message for all students – a gathering for a general meeting. To which you did not come. And there was our Rector, the same one that owes my dad a tone of money.”

      “Roma, I had enough of your sh…, what is the ticket for and what is happening?”

      “Do not interrupt me, so, our Rector gathered everyone in the hall and said that only our university will be awarded Lottery tickets from the company Art. soul Holding group for free. It just happens so, that they are launching a new on-line game Ouiet Running in three months. But, before the official launch, they are looking for twenty gamers that will be the first to test how it works. Everything that will happen in the game will be broadcasted around the world! Each winner of the lottery will receive ten grand, a per-unit AOUA Robe worth five grand and ninety days for the maximum development of the character.”

      “Hot damn!”

      “I’m surprised as well, like you said. Oh, I went through an Internet today. In word, they say that it will be possible to use virtual money to pay for services in the real life! It’s like if you order something on the internet, you can pay by the points from the game, and the company then covers everything and is the garrant of the deal.”

      “Is this real? Delirium of some sort, it seems like a set-up!”

      “No, Serega, when thinking about it, it’s a trifle. Just think, one such ticket is worth a hundred bucks, and milliards of them printed for the whole, so to say, blue ball. Secondly, aquaRob is a purchase, maintenance, repair plus a subscriber’s fee for gaming. Already, they say that more than fifty million orders for them have been received, and in fact, they have not even launched the game. To avoid disturbances, in fact, and to warm up the interest, they invented this yobbo-lottery epic.”

      “And what do you have to do with these tickets?”

      “These tickets are also not very simple. As I saw, it’s a white plastic with a transparent circle. You need to unwrap the ticket, touch this circle, and he will either be red, and you shame the corpses, or, green, and you are the king of all the mermaids.”

      “Have you taken the ticket already?”

      “No, as I was saying, he Rector owes my dad money, so we have a VIP-appointment, in an hour we have to come to him ourselves. Sergey, did you eat breakfast today?”

      “No.”

      “Then we’ll go to the pizzeria. (Laughs.) At the same time, I will tell you, my port and smelly friend, why do you need to play this game with your grandfather.”

      “What?”

      “Believe me, my dad has already ordered aquaRobs for himself, my aunt and Sophie.”

      “I’m not smelly!”

      “You do not worry about that, Serega’, – Roma said, and for some reason stopped joking. And started the car.

      AUGUST 15, 2057, 11:50, SUKHANOV STREET, 8 MAIN BUILDING OF FEFU RECTOR’S OFFICE

      Today, from the very morning, a ticket machine was brought, older students and faculty staff unloaded it and divided into groups of lottery tickets. Each student got one ticket. Total five hundred and seventy thousand pieces or fifty-seven boxes.

      All this time the Rector himself did not show up, he was preparing to speak at the meeting. He drank water and aspirin, but the headache continued to exhaust him with a cold alarm.

      “It’s like there are no more problems for me, but running around like a little dog giving out tickets.” He looked at his ticket and sighed heavily. He did not want to participate in these games, win something. He had already visited for four months the group for those “who cannot stop gambling.”

      The phone rang again in the office; the secretary seems to be too active today.

      “Mikhail Vladimirovich, you have a meeting in the hall in ten minutes’, – she said.

      “Yes, Marina. Thank you.” – Muted the sound: “I appointed it myself.” – Turned on the sound. “I am on my way.”

      “How hard it is to go on vacation. I need to figure it out as soon as possible.”

      The next two days, he passed on his business at the institute, then two more days he and his wife collected things and only on the fifth day finally left far away from the news and all these new gadgets.

      In the pizzeria near the university, there was a special charm. Many freshmen worked there and the pretty girls from the Faculty of Oriental Studies were going to drink chocolate.

      The guys placed the order and were waiting for pizza and burgers.

      They sat down at a table near the window. It seemed that everyone was thinking his own thoughts. Sergey was in a confused state of mind and had no idea where to search for the new job.

      He had no intent to work for Roma’s father in a stuffy office or as an errand-boy for the miserable crumbs of “student’ wages. So he was sitting, sorting out all the possible options, and still could not take any decision.

      “You are in sorrow, my friend, as far as I see!” – Roma said, sipping an eerie green energy drink.

      For a moment it seemed like that was the redheaded gnome drinking herbal potion.

      “How can you drink this stuff? It’s made of oil!”

      “If you judge by the price, then you’re right. But oil never caused me to be allergic, even when taken intravenously. Hehe.”

      “So, tell me about ‘AKVUA ROBE’.”

      “Serega, you’ll drive me insane with your accent.”

      “Well, I did not live in London.”

      A nice waitress brought drinks and hot sandwiches.

      “Pizza will be ready in twelve minutes’, – she said, placing everything on the table.

      When she left, the two boys watched her go and everyone came to the idea that the uniform was, of course, too short, but it only added a healthy appetite.

      “Listen, Roma, what about the robe?”

      “Finish chewing, and then talk!”

      “What did you want to tell about the robes?”

      “Ah, well, at last, you’ve got СКАЧАТЬ
