This article comes from the official account of Wechat: ID:chuappgame, author: Peng Chuwei

To beat the system in the game, the most important thing is to spend more time, but can people win over time?

There are two ways to find a rider to become a rider. One is for you to stop a rider passing by and tell him, "I want to run takeout." Introducing a new rider to the company will get a sum of money, and in order to be your reference, he will be happy to send you to the nearest site.

Another way is to scan the QR code on the rider's takeout box and do a simple questionnaire survey. Wait for more than ten minutes, someone will call you, arrange you to a nearby area of the site, ask you to report to the site.

In the questionnaire, the area I chose is the "Red Old Heritage Tourism area" in Longyan City, Fujian Province, that is, the urban area of Changting County. Soon, someone called: "would you like to run in Longyan City?" I said no. I just want to run in the county.

In Changting County, I can only hire riders in public. After downloading the software, I did an hour of online training, mainly by watching video. The most basic is the "first order training for beginners". After a melodious piece of music, a good-looking rider appeared in the video. He explained to me how to use the software to pick up a "one" order, and the running process on the road would be shown in the form of animation. after that, he repeatedly stressed that traffic rules must not be violated.

After watching the video, I do multiple choice questions, and it's okay to make a mistake. All the options in the wrong questions can be tried over and over again, and you can always choose the right one with more time.

After the training, I was a rider. I can start to take orders, but because I did not go to the site to do offline training, nor did I submit a deposit or health certificate, so the priority of the system to dispatch orders to me is very low. But I got what I wanted.

On the list of riders on the crowdsourcing software, the names of several riders at the top of the monthly order will be displayed. When I got these names, I went to the mall and asked the riders there about them.

In the Sanyuan Pavilion, there were three riders sitting at the door waiting for dinner. I asked them, "do you know these people?"

They looked at me in silence. I opened the mobile phone list to show them, a rider said: "I know this surnamed Tong, and this surnamed Zhang." Then he said a place and asked me to squat there.

The place is at 42 Jinbi Road. When I arrived, I found that it was a milk tea shop called Gu Ming. It was beautifully decorated, but there were no customers. A lot of riders gathered there. I walked through the door and asked loudly, "who is Tong Shuirong? who is Zhang Hui?"

The location of this milk tea shop is remote, and most of the people sitting in the shop are riders who look at me. After a while, a voice said to me, "neither of them is here."

I ordered a cup of milk tea and sat in the shop. Almost an hour later, a rider came in. He saw me at first glance, walked towards me, and said loudly, "who is looking for me?"

I gave him my business card, said I was interested in delivery, and asked him, "can you take me for a few days?"

He pressed his business card on the table with the palm of his hand and looked as if he didn't care. He only asked me, "Why me?"

"because you are a single king."

In recent years, many people have reported the situation of takeout riders. In these reports, takeout riders are mostly described as people trapped in the system, driven by system and life pressures, running tired and numb on the delivery road every day.

The editor thought it was an interesting direction. "are there any riders who seem to have the upper hand in the system? if you think of this as a confrontation, is there anyone who can show brilliance that belongs only to human beings?" He said to me, "if you think of takeout software as a game, delivery is the task of the system, and the reward is money, then the takeout can be regarded as the player of the game." We know that there are always some players in online games who are good at calculation, have flexible brains, master the rules, and even occasionally 'take advantage'. There are such players in every successful game. If you think of takeout as a confrontation between takeout and the system, you will certainly find some takeout people who seem to have defeated the system. "

So I started looking for such a takeout worker. Just like games, the rider version of the takeout app will have a "ranking", with the names of the top 50 people in the same region who have the most runs per day, the most monthly runs and the longest mileage. I looked for riders at the top of the rankings and guessed that they might have mastered some rules so that they seemed to have the upper hand in the fight against the system.

Finally, I found Tong Shuirong.

6:00 at six o'clock in the morning, cloudy. I sat on the steps outside a Bedford convenience store at the city gate, waiting for Tong Shuirong to appear.

At 06:10, Tong Shuirong parked straight in front of me on a gray Haojue motorcycle. He was carrying a man, his wife. She slipped out of the back seat of the motorcycle without saying a word and went straight away.

Tong Shuirong is 32 years old, with fluffy hair, unshaven face and listless eyes. He glanced at me, looked at his phone and said, "you can't stand the cold."

I replied, "if you want to shout cold, just put me down."

He stopped talking, went into the fruit store next to the supermarket with his head down, said hello to the people inside, and took his helmet out.

Tong Shuirong was not tall. Most of the time, he squinted me into the back seat. Tong Shuirong turned the key and the car began to tremble. He didn't tell me where he was going, but drove to the center of the city in silence.

In online rider training, it is stipulated that the speed of a rider's electric car cannot exceed 25 kilometers per hour. Tong Shuirong skyrocketed to twice that speed. We passed a sprinkler and the trouser legs were all wet. Tong Shuirong shouted and raised the speed to 60 kilometers per hour.

Fifteen minutes later, we arrived at our destination: Pan-Fried Dumplings, No. 9 Wolong Road, a commercial street.

Tong Shuirong put me down, went into the store and chatted with the boss inside. He asked the boss to do it first. "the first order will come soon," because "someone orders it every day, it never changes."

When he came out of the shop, Tong Shuirong sat on his motorcycle, smoking hard without saying a word, and his eyes fell on the distant intersection. Five minutes later, a rider appeared there.

"Saturday!" Tong Shuirong shouted. The rider answered, stopped and took a cigarette from Tong Shuirong's hand.

"what time did you finish work yesterday?" Tong Shuirong asked, in a loud voice.

"(in the morning) 2 o'clock."

"have you earned yourself to death? short-lived ghost!"

"up to now, there are few orders, I dare not say anything, and I still earn my life."

Tong Shuirong went around to the takeout box at the back of the car on Saturday, hooked the rubber rope that fixed the box with two fingers, pulled it up, reached the limit, and then let go, feeling the weight of the box.

"you have two more. It's soy milk, isn't it?"

"get out, I'm leaving." He rode away on Wednesday with a cigarette in his mouth.

Tong Shuirong walked back to me, threw his cigarette butts on the ground and looked down at me: "online."

His mobile phone lights up, the first order today, from the 9th Pan-Fried Dumplings to Jinbi Garden.

On the 9th Pan-Fried Dumplings is always the starting point of Tong Shuirong every day (the one on the left is Tong Shuirong) 6:30-10:30 in the rider community, how to treat running single violations is a long-lasting topic. Every rider has his own answer. Tong Shuirong's answer is simple: "believe in yourself."

Thaksin has the fastest and least populated shortcuts to all destinations, and he only knows such shortcuts.

"Why are there so few people?" I asked.

"A small number of people means that you can walk fast, which means that there is no accident, which is equal to safety." While waiting for the traffic lights, Tong Shuirong looked at the camera on the traffic lights. Only then would he reply to me.

He deviated from the navigation halfway, reversing for half a minute at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour on a spacious road, passing dramatically outside the gate of the county transportation authority. After passing the signal light, he approached his destination from the west of the community.

Jinbi Garden is a huge community, but there are only two gates in the north and south. I wondered how he was going to get over the west wall, and his answer was to get into the neighborhood from the underground parking lot. He took me into the parking lot on the west side of the neighborhood. One end of the car stop at the entrance of the parking lot was a few centimeters above our left shoulder. For a moment, I saw a sign above the entrance: no motor vehicles are allowed to enter. If there is an accident, take responsibility!

The underground parking lot was empty and complex, and we were driving at high speed against the arrows on the ground. After a few turns, he stopped and ran to the nearest elevator. He was in a hurry because after giving away this order, he still had three orders on hand.

Most of the time, there are few people in the underground parking lot, which is a shortcut in Tong Shuirong's eyes. The whole road seems to have been carefully selected by him.

Opposite the parking lot, he picked up a Hakka stew pot and delivered it to the west passenger station at the gate of the residential area. Outside the West Railway Station, he stopped in front of a clear soup powder shop with mahjong signs spelling out the words "have a good time". The shop was full of old people who were waiting for dinner after they got up early and went to town.

He squeezed his way out of the plastic stool full of people and shouted a name. A woman's face reached out from the back kitchen, glanced at him, and then disappeared. After a while, a child came out with a meal and gave it to him first. When he came out, a new rider was sitting at the door waiting for dinner, the rider bowed his head, and the electronic sound of "Happy Xiaole" was heard on his mobile phone.

When he got on his bike and twisted the key, he asked me, "do you know why the meal is slow?"

"Why?"

"because there are so many people." He glanced at the rider at the door and took me all the way to the south of the city.

Riders at 10:30 have fixed waiting places for meals, where they choose to rest between the morning, noon and evening rush hours. Tong Shuirong often comes to these places, but he prefers talking to rest.

After delivering a single herbal tea in Sanyuan Pavilion, I realized that the morning rush was over. It has no specific logo, but I have a feeling about Tong Shuirong: the speed of cycling is slow, I don't stare at my phone and think hard, and people relax.

Tong Shuirong came to Shuidong Street in the south of the city. Outside the street entrance is a huge newly built city wall, which serves as the center of the scenic spots of the whole ancient city, surrounded by food shops.

Tong Shuirong stopped in front of the 24-hour self-service bank at the corner of the street. When he arrived, he was waiting for two riders, one of whom was on Wednesday. They huddled together on the steps of the self-service bank.

In the eyes of the rider, the self-service bank can not only shelter from the wind and rain, but also warm in winter and cool in summer. Tong Shuirong said to me, "play with your mobile phone and sit for half an hour."

This sentence attracted the attention of two riders. They looked up and asked Tong Shuirong, "Why are you still pulling a person?"

Tong Shuirong didn't say a word. He just took out his cigarette and smoked it himself. When the first cigarette floated out of his mouth, he said, "Oh, I brought it out to play."

"it's just for fun. Lao Cheng has also driven women." Say it on Wednesday.

The man known as Lao Cheng was a little fat. He said, "come out to play? why don't you sleep at home this day?"

With Lao Cheng's words, a big raindrop began to hit the glass door of the bank, shouting cold on Friday. Tong Shuirong bent down to grab the arm of the week and groped his fingers for a while. Withdrawing his hand, he pointed to the Wednesday and said, "the short sleeves you're wearing? don't wear them, or your elbows will be wet on rainy days."

"it's too thick to run," he said on Saturday. "

Tong Shuirong held out his hand and clapped and said, "the hands of the uniform are airtight and rheumatic. You buy cloth with long sleeves at the bottom."

They stopped talking on Wednesday, and they were silent for a few minutes. Lao Cheng stared at the rain at the door and suddenly sighed: "it's not convenient to rain again, especially face recognition, which is always required to wear a uniform. last time I wore a raincoat, I didn't pass face recognition the second time."

Tong Shuirong laughed, took off his clothes, exposed the long yellow sleeves inside, pulled the collar and said, "wear this under the raincoat. The yellow clothes bought by Su Ning Yi can pass the verification."

"which is it?" The old man asked honestly.

Tong Shuirong didn't say anything. When Lao Cheng asked again, he pretended to be serious and said, "Let me have breakfast and tell you."

Lao Cheng pushed Tong Shuirong: "you invite me, I haven't made any money yet!"

"what are you going to eat? pig's foot rice?"

"Don't eat pig's foot rice, eat more breakfast."

"Yes, cover the rice, add an egg and add some green vegetables."

"you treat me!"

Their dialect is loud enough to alarm passers-by. A man looked up and probably thought someone was quarrelling, but saw them smiling. They laughed shyly and restrained, and the more they laughed, the louder they were, and their laughter was like an uplifting agent. Over the next ten minutes, more riders wandering around before the afternoon rush hour stopped here to join their conversation.

In a group of contentious riders, the 11:00-15:30 riders have a special friendship. They are inconsiderate, casual, indifferent to people and sometimes overly intimate. On the way, Tong Shuirong told me that he thought "this is used to being alone and lonely."

The sigh at the end of the sentence is also Tong Shuirong's evaluation of himself. He is not good at dealing with human relationships. In Xinqiao Town, where he lives, Tong Jinlan, a nurse at the health center, is Tong Shuirong's neighbor. She thinks Tong Shuirong is a person with a "very strange personality." I asked her, "what's so weird?" She failed to answer, but stumbled, "what she said was strange."

In my feeling, this kind of strange comes from Tong Shuirong's not good at human communication. He agrees with me that three years ago, Tong Shuirong stayed in Dongguan for a period of time, doing business with his family, but finally because he felt he was not free to go home.

Running takeout makes him comfortable and excited.

On Saturday, it was believed that there was always a sense of distance between riders, and Tong Shuirong was very good at suddenly narrowing this distance. "Tong Shuirong has two advantages: one is that he has a name, and the other is generous." Tell me on Wednesday.

The name on the list is Tong Shuirong's credit guarantee, and cigarettes are the business cards he uses to make friends with other riders. In the place where the riders gathered, Tong Shuirong spent most of his time walking, smoking and talking. These efforts enabled him to get the list transferred by the other riders.

"transfer order" means that when the rider is not familiar with the address of the dispatch order and the merchant, he can hand over the takeout order to other riders to run around for the order, whether it can run smoothly or not mainly depends on the list. There are three ways to obtain orders. The first is systematic dispatch, which can be dispatched to the rider at any time as long as the rider's account is online. The order to be dispatched depends on the rider's location and the past record of the account. The rider can refuse such dispatch, but the more the rejection, the fewer orders will be dispatched afterwards.

The second kind of order is a preemptable order, and the dispatch which is rejected by the rider will become a list that can be robbed and appear in the rider's hall. Whether you can get it or not depends on the speed of your hand.

The third kind of order is the transfer order. Each rider will have several opportunities to direct his or her list to another rider-just enter his or her name.

If the list is regarded as a resource, then the first resource allocation is allocated to the rider by the system, and the second allocation of resources can be carried out between the riders-the essence of the first two kinds of list is systematic allocation, and it is very difficult for you to take advantage of the system, so many familiar riders will stare at each other's dispatch orders and joke that the content of the joke is nothing more than asking each other to transfer a few "good" orders to themselves.

The so-called "good" refers to whether this order is in line with the system dispatch on hand, allowing the rider to hang several orders, or whether the order comes from a specific business or area that the rider happens to be familiar with. Of course, what is more common is that some orders give a very large amount of money and a very short distance because of customer bids and business subsidies. This is very direct and profitable, and no one is willing to give way.

At 11:08 in the morning, the mobile phone rang on Wednesday. Someone ordered a cup of milk tea and sent it from Shuidong Jiekou to a sauerkraut fish shop on Tingzhou Jiu Road. It appeared alone in the dispatch interface of the mobile phone on Saturday, surrounded by riders, and Tong Shuirong scratched his mobile phone to see it.

"without a return ticket, it's a loss. I'm not going." A tall rider laughed.

"I knew I would go offline and not let the system send it!" I was annoyed on Wednesday.

"if you can't give me a bill for one person, you can give it to me." Tong Shuirong, holding his cell phone, reached out his hand and turned around at eight o'clock on Friday. Transfer the order to yourself. He scolded the son of a bitch with a smile on Wednesday.

Tong Shuirong called me to start, and I skillfully jumped into the car. Before driving, Tong Shuirong put on a raincoat for himself. he hung his mobile phone on his chest with a wide cloth rope, with a charging wire coming out of his trouser pocket under the phone and a headphone cable above it. The headphones are very leaking. I heard someone telling a book: "talking, singing, and persuading people, there are three main roads to go to the center."... "

After taking the milk tea, Tong Shuirong put the beverage box on the pedal. He never used the takeout box. All takeout was within reach. On the way to deliver food, Lao Cheng rode his bike towards him, and they waved to each other. A few seconds after brushing past, Tong Shuirong suddenly shouted, "I'll send it for you!"

Behind my back, I heard Lao Cheng's laughter.

The milk tea was ordered by the boss of the sauerkraut fish shop. After sending the milk tea to the boss, Tong Shuirong immediately received an order from Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili and sent it to a law firm at Shuidong Jiekou. This is Tong Shuirong's expected return order. He knows when the Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili family will be popular.

"how do you know that?"

"I'll talk to these bosses! this cigarette is from Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili's boss." Tong Shuirong took a puff of cigarette.

The rain is increasing, and the fine Rain Water seeps into the clothes, bringing a chill that is hard to dispel. We drove into the alley. On the narrow road less than 5 meters wide, Tong Shuirong still maintained a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour. When we met someone, the speed dropped sharply to 10 kilometers per hour, and I was almost thrown out of the car at every emergency stop.

The rider often drives in my notebook between the narrow paths in the old city. Tong Shuirong's delivery track at noon goes like this: 12:24, three minutes from the time of delivery, Tong Shuirong retrograde into the underground parking lot, take the elevator upstairs from the negative floor, and complete the take-out order for Dragon Capital in Zhongcheng Investment Square; at 12:32, he skipped an order nearer the deadline and gave the noodles to the woman in front of the bus at the city gate. This bus is a bus between the county seat and Tongfang town. There are only four trips a day, and one leaves at 12: 35 at noon. Tong Shuirong knows this.

At 01:23 in the afternoon, when Tong Shuirong passed the self-service bank, a rider stopped at the door and sat on the car. when he saw Tong Shuirong, he shouted, "you're on the list!"

Tong Shuirong stopped the car and said, "I should have known I wouldn't send that one." if the system is blind, I won't give it to you. " His voice was much louder than before, and he was even more excited.

With that, Tong Shuirong reached out and picked up the rider's box: "Don't give me the order!" give me the order! let me see your box! give me your things. "

Money is a topic often discussed by riders. Like other topics, they maintain a special sense of size. They discussed how to save money and how to make money. Tong Shuirong is a typical example. Sometimes he is unwilling to admit that he earns little money, he is very arrogant, and sometimes he exaggerates that he "earns nothing". You can't hear an exact number from him.

For National Day reasons, riders generally have higher orders in October at 2 p.m., and riders are discussing whether to save money on electricity or gas. When Tong Shuirong passed by, he said an analogy that made everyone laugh: "if you run more than 40 singles a day like me, use an electric car, but do you know what I will do with the battery?" I kicked under the Taiping Bridge! "

Tong Shuirong made a kick. A group of high school students walked past us, and several girls looked embarrassed. Tong Shuirong kicked again as if he didn't see it. A rider watching a short video suddenly picked up his cell phone, clicked twice, got into the car and left.

Tong Shuirong took out his cell phone and said, "Hey, I didn't get it."

There are fewer orders at this time, and some people complain: "I shouldn't have come out at this point."

Tong Shuirong said quickly, "Yes, you shouldn't come out at night either."

"Why?"

"because it's best for you to sleep at home!"

16:00-23:00 05:17 in the afternoon, on the way to McDonald's, Tong Shuirong suddenly asked me, "are you tired?"

I asked him, "what time are you working today?"

"I can work as long as I want. I left at 1: 00 in the morning yesterday." He said while waiting for the traffic lights, saying hello to a co-policeman.

On the official website of takeout recruitment, the delivery company's slogan for crowdsourcing riders is "time is flexible, orders can be accepted at any time, settlement is convenient, cash can be withdrawn at any time, and orders can be made at any time." Three years ago, this might have been true, but today, there are many restrictions behind these slogans: if you accept an order at any time, if you do not answer, the system will reduce the dispatch of orders to you; the settlement has been added a limited number of times. even the number of overtime reports by merchants is limited, and riders have to pay a deposit; as for order processing, it is becoming increasingly cumbersome in the face of various plug-ins and technical updates based on big data.

In Changting County, every crowdsourced rider knows that if you want to make money, pay first, pay energy, time, and even risk. In addition, mastering skills can help them improve their efficiency, some of which are acquired over time, such as shortcuts in the city, where to wait for a meal, when to give up, when to communicate, and so on.

Behind the giving and skill is a system that has been begged, doubted, abused and praised by every rider.

When I ran with Tong Shuirong, the conversation I heard from the rider was always in dialect, but when it came to the word "system", the dialect became Mandarin. The system is like a loanword in an insertion sentence, prominently on their lips.

For a well-behaved rider, the system is everything. If you make a mistake, you have to rely on the system to find the system and get the order. Finally, they have to plan the entire delivery route according to the order sent by the system, which has an obvious performance-to-price ratio, some of which are not high. If the system always sends such orders, then even Tong Shuirong cannot guarantee that his position in the rankings will not decline.

I already felt a little tired during the evening rush hour. Tong Shuirong is still very energetic. He jumps into McDonald's on the second floor three steps at a time. McDonald's takeout cabinets are transparent, with riders picking up the dining room on one side and the central kitchen on the other. Tong Shuirong shouted across the takeout cabinet, asking them to bring themselves more napkins, saying, "there are too many drinks, afraid of pressing each other."

The rider McDonald's doesn't spend much time picking up the meal, but the difficulty is to be careful that the takeout is damaged so quickly that someone handed out a stack of paper. At this point, I made a mistake. I mistakenly thought it was a meal, so I closed the takeout cabinet door behind me. Tong Shuirong shouted, "Don't turn it off! what are you doing?"

I've closed the cupboard door. The takeout cabinet door can only be opened with a password. Tong Shuirong can only renegotiate with the staff. Instead of blaming me, he begins to curse the system. Obviously, this situation has not been taken into account by the system, and other single time is still passing.

In Tong Shuirong's mouth, the modifiers associated with the system are often "silly X" and "blind".

From McDonald's, Tong Shuirong has been using these two words to describe the system. He said these words for a brief moment as he brushed past the riders during his on-and-off running.

At 08:24 in the evening, Tong Shuirong returned to the milk tea shop at 42 Jinbi Road. He was in this place on Saturday, and he and Tong Shuirong kept almost the same rhythm.

When we entered the door, we were talking to the riders around us on Wednesday: "the system is blind. Send me a reservation order, and I just threw one of these orders."

The rider tapped the screen with his thumb joint and said, "you all go back and forth twice. Does the systematic order dispatch have something to do with the total number of orders completed? I have had 350 orders since October."

Tong Shuirong broke into the door with water vapor. When he heard their words, he immediately said, "how much did you earn for 350 singles?" I was pushed by the system at most. I charged 35 yuan, but it was a pity to fly alone! "

The rider sighed admiringly, complaining that the system was impersonal and handed him the "garbage list" from shopping malls and ramen shops in the reservation order, which "robbed him for 50 minutes and took 20 minutes to pick up the goods, and if he had more than 5 orders, he would have to run out of time." And if you refuse the order, "twice I will kick you off the line."

This kind of single connection is so much that he is too lazy to run. If you are too lazy to run, it will naturally be less in a single amount.

"you are still lazy." Tong Shuirong looked at the counter of the Eye Milk Tea Shop, where a woman was busy.

"what about you? you're not lazy, but how much longer can you run? short-lived!" Say it on Wednesday.

Tong Shuirong stopped talking. When he took me to the car with milk tea, I heard him say vaguely: "how long I want to run, how long I want to run." This sentence looks a little weak in the wind.

Tong Shuirong seldom spoke to me, and only when he was on the road, he occasionally opened his mouth. Tong Shuirong spent a lot of time thinking about the system. In general, the system is blurred, ubiquitous, and unassailable. Only the people in the system can operate. From customers, merchants to riders, even themselves. Tong Shuirong's strategy is to work hard on people. He uses his eloquence and slightly playful character to drill a hole in the system: he will not refuse the orders of the mall, he is familiar with the mall, and he knows the people in the mall. He can remember the track of regular customers' orders. He has a lot of friends, and when he greets the traffic police, he can call out the names of many store managers and riders. Through human feelings, he gradually turned the system into a means that can be used.

Even with these means, it is still necessary to work hard for ordinary people to pay. The evening peak is the most difficult time for Tong Shuirong, who is speeding down the road with seven or eight singles on his back. For many takeout riders, tens of thousands of monthly income is a thing of the past, but in Tong Shuirong's view, this is still a goal that can be approached. As long as you work hard enough, you can become a single king.

According to the rules of the system, every month, before 700, the income of the rider for each run is 4 yuan; after 700, the income for each run is 5 yuan. Tong Shuirong took this number apart and set himself a goal of 60 pieces a day. Afternoon and evening peak is the main source of the list, according to the system distribution standards, within 1.5 kilometers, the merchant dining time plus delivery time is 35 minutes. In the range of 2.5 to 4 kilometers, the time for merchants to serve meals plus delivery is 45 minutes. Orders from 4 kilometers away are 60 minutes. Tong Shuirong himself calculated: "it sounds like seven orders an hour is all right? nine hours is 63 orders. But the truth is, there are not so many orders. If you want to send 60 orders, you have to run for 14 hours."

In other words, even if a rider becomes a "single king", it does not mean that he has the ability to control the system, and the system cannot be deceived. Physical strength and wisdom can help the rider adapt to the system, but in the end, the test of a "single king" is always time.

All the riders I interviewed agreed that what makes Tong Shuirong special is that he can invest his time day after day. This kind of investment cannot be summed up with perseverance and persistence. In the process of running singles with Tong Shuirong, I realized that he regarded giving orders as another more exciting life.

This kind of life has the color of game. He is playing a game of making money in strict rules, and to that end, he uses his talents to look for excitement in riders and car racing, and he knows how to excite himself and turn that excitement into the motivation to run 14 hours a day.

This is why Tong Shuirong seems to be "comfortable" in the system. With his mind, enthusiasm and communication skills, he can adapt to the rules better than others. In my opinion, his secret is one word "endure", and he has found many ways to help himself endure it. I was impressed by his relationship with the riders in his circle: they have fixed leisure places, each with a unique nickname, and a lot of private vulgar jokes. Most of the time, it is a group of people staring at a person's mobile phone, "transfer order" is a joke they blackmail each other, they read rankings, compare odd numbers, guess system rules and analyze the cost-effective ratio of the list. This connection is a powerful spiritual support for them.

But how long will this support last? No one can rely solely on spirit to persist in a career that invests more than 14 hours a day. People are always defeated by time.

Tong Shuirong avoids facing this reality, but there are always moments that will pierce his imagination of life, such as the sentence on Saturday. Tong Shuirong's "run as long as you want" is actually a kind of self-deception. He knows that he can no longer run 60 singles in nine hours a day as he used to, and now he has to run for 14 hours.

We hope to find "those who play the brilliance of human intelligence in the battle between man and machine", which now seems to be a kind of wishful thinking of heroism. We don't want to accept reality, but reality rolls forward and doesn't care what we think. I found Tong Shuirong, who seems to have conquered the system with wisdom and enthusiasm in some moments, but so what? It was a long struggle, and the end was doomed. The system will not be tired, but people will; the system will not grow old, but people will; the system can iterate continuously, calculate firmly, and become more and more efficient day by day, and even the systems are competing with each other, but it is difficult for people to break through in this complex situation. The human upper limit is there. Maybe a rider can win every day's war, but in this battle, he will inevitably lose.

For many riders, life is 14 to 16 hours a day at 23:00 and 11:00 in the evening, with rain falling like sharp pebbles in my face because of the typhoon. We seem to be galloping irresistibly down the road, but we are also subject to the same resistance from the outside world. Tong Shuirong noticed that I had a cough. He put me down in front of McDonald's in Sanyuan Pavilion. As for himself, he wanted to run for a while while it rained.

On the mobile phone, I see that his ranking is being surpassed.

Before he left, I asked him, "is there any skill to be a single king?"

"spend more time than others, nothing else."
