It tells about a social state that is similar to social integrity based on the ratings of others, with a full score of 5. Every time you contact someone, you will receive a rating from the other party, or passers-by, or waiters, etc. People who don’t know you will feel it at first glance. to rate each other. Everyone avoids people with low scores, and always shows favor to people with high scores.
The heroine wants to move to a dream house, and she can get a 20% discount up to a score of 4.5. Now she only has a score of 4.2. She starts to give high marks to everyone, and hopes that others can give her high marks. At this time, her childhood friend sent her an invitation to be her bridesmaid. Most of the wedding guests have a score higher than 4.5. If she gives a touching speech at the wedding, she can get a lot of high scores to achieve her dream of renting a house.
The night before the wedding. The younger brother warned her that the bride has been doing bad things to her, she is not a good friend, there is no need to please someone she doesn't like for a house. But the heroine left. She was so angry that she couldn't get on the plane at the airport, and her behavior caused the airport guard to drop her a score of 3.1. She had to change the mode of transportation and rent a car one by one, and because the score was too low, she could only rent an outdated and low-end car, which broke down due to lack of electricity halfway. She was hitting a hitchhiker at the highway, but was refused a ride because it showed her score was too low, and some passing drivers even gave her a low score when she just kept walking and didn't do anything. At this time, an elderly woman driving a truck passed by and saw her walking slowly on the side of the road, and stopped to express her willingness to take her for a ride. Seeing that the female driver's score was as low as 1.6, the hostess refused directly. In the end, the female driver persuaded her that it was better to get on the bus, because it was not an option for her to go on like this. In the car, the female driver said that she once lived for high scores. She was pursuing high scores for her cancer-stricken husband. She kept giving high scores to medical staff, hoping to help her husband. It was later learned that there was a new type of treatment available for her husband, but only one. She had a 4.2, and one other had a 4.4, and her husband left her without treatment. After that, the female driver only lived for herself, she said whatever she wanted, and did not hide her inner dissatisfaction, which is why her low score came from this. After hearing this, the heroine disagreed very much. She thought that the female driver was old, she had owned a lot, and she was not afraid of losing it. But I am still young and I have never owned anything, so I should pursue it.
At this time, all I can see is that the hostess hates those past drivers who refuse to ride because of her low score, but she also sees the low-scoring people who help her express refusal. In this era of scoring , trapped in the shackles of scores without realizing it. Life is obsessed with scores, just as we cannot live without our mobile phones, just as we are attached to things that do not belong to us. This is a world of scores, the same as our world of looks. Holding a scorer, you can score every time you meet someone. You can only see the smile on the surface, but not the real heart. Everyone does not need to have their own feelings, but only needs to live for others. The so-called: a word disagreement, that is, a low score. Everyone wears a fake mask, can't be angry, can't have their own personality, and only live for others' likes. Scorer in hand. Just like a social network, every day to save likes; like a pedometer, some people pay attention to the number of steps of others, rather than counting for their own health.
Finally, the hostess received a notice from the bride and told her not to come. The hostess asked why?
The bride said: Your score is too low, I don't want people with too low scores to drag down my score, because I invited you to come because I want to use your speech to move the guests to increase my score.
The hostess asked the bride in a very angry manner: Do you care about our friendship?
The bride also replied directly: Don't you want to come just to earn a higher score?
