Chapter 270 Difficulty of Life·Easy Mode
"They should have seen my message..."
Sitting in the back seat of the eldest lady's luxury car, Ash slid his thumb wheel to summon his Gospel. He turned to the "Magician's Manual" interface and saw the current team information in "Void Realm Exploration":
"Team composition: Death Crazy Swordswoman, Black and White Witch"
"Location: Time Continent"
"Status: Exploring"
Before leaving home, Ash arranged for the two of them to explore the virtual realm.
Of course, if he didn't make arrangements, the two of them would explore alone, but with Ash's approval, the two of them could borrow his sports car.
However, the map seems to be bound to Ash's game system and cannot be lent to them.
And just like the 'Sword Princess's Leave Request', even though Ash is not in the team, the team still has to give Ash a share. 30% of the magic experience gained by Sword Lady and Witch will be distributed to Ash, and the special mechanisms they encounter may also be triggered by Ash.
The only thing that is different from operators is that there is no limit to Ash's leave!
If he wanted to, he could stay in the virtual realm for the rest of his life and become stronger just by eating the food of the Sword Queen and the Witch!
But when Ash confirmed that he would not participate in the exploration tonight, the game showed a reminder: "Communicating with operators is an important means of maintaining bonds. If the operator thinks that you are avoiding meeting, your favorability will gradually decrease, resulting in a decrease in the bond level. .”
Only then did Ash realize that the favorability level of this game actually fluctuates, and does not remain constant as it rises. In other words, it's fine for Yaxiu to take leave once or twice, but if he takes leave every day and doesn't go to work, and is separated from the masses for a long time, don't blame the frontline workers for having objections.
No, working is for income, and Ash enters the virtual realm mainly to improve his bond with operators.
It's not so much about going to work, but more about... team building?
After realizing this, Ash suddenly became resistant to entering the virtual realm.
嘤
With a slight vibration, the floating car turned into another lane, but Ash who was sitting in the car was as steady as a rock. He looked at An Nan in the driver's seat and his mind quickly returned to reality.
Although Harvey and Iguola did not reveal any information to him, the tasks that could be related to people like them were nothing more than gang vendettas, theft, er, abduction, robbery and theft. After all, their business scope was very narrow, and a criminal code It can cover everything.
Although Ash is usually so calm, he actually secretly investigated Azula's evil forces, mainly by asking people in online games. Many of Azula's enthusiastic brothers introduced to him through popular science that Azula currently has ten major evil forces, namely one palace, two institutes, three families and four major companies.
The first hall is the mermaid palace. The Kraken clan is known as the 'sewer royal family' of the gospel country. There are chain stores of the Kraken clan in every major city. Almost all murders, smuggling, selling banned drugs, and racial transactions must go through the Kraken clan. Nodding, he is the well-deserved evil leader.
The second one is two offices, naturally they are the two that rank in the top two in Azula's ranking and are among the top ten in the country's overall ranking. A small firm like An Nan, which was squeezed out of the top ten in the rankings, received commissions that were leftovers from the "Second Firm".
The three families are ancient families that have been rooted in the Azura region for many years. Ash did not remember the specific surnames and coats of arms. He only remembered that they were married to each other. Their connections were deeply rooted in important departments such as Blue Beard, Red Hat, and the Government Affairs Department. Even the mayor was from Three families.
The four major companies account for more than 75% of Azura's gross product and are ranked among the national enterprise rankings. They are considered too big to fail. Although the four major companies have a close relationship with the three families, and almost all of them have received capital injections from the three families, overall the two sides are still in a state of conflict and friction. After all, capital naturally resists the feudal system of families. If you feel that early investment If you can control a successful enterprise with just a little money, it would be an underestimation of the alienation ability of capital.
So when Ya Xiu was sitting in An Nan's car, he thought about which of the ten evil forces they were going to cause trouble for. When they arrived at their destination, even though Ya Xiu was well prepared, he was still shocked by the stronghold of the evil forces in front of him.
"Azura Fourth Secondary Education Base"
"here it is……"
"Fourth Lieutenant Colonel, you can call me Fourth Lieutenant Colonel."
An Nan got out of the car, pressed the car key, and the mature floating car went to find a parking space by itself.
Although it is a high school, No. 4 Middle School looks more like a commercial center. Warm and bright light shines from every floor inside, and the glass revolving door is open. There are no security measures or security guards to check visitors.
Ya Xiu followed An Nan in, and his impression changed again. There was no classroom inside, nor was there any teaching sound. Through the window, Ash saw a series of fully covered cabins like coffins placed in the room. There was a row of three-dimensional projections on the cabins, with the words "People in the cabin" written on them. name information.
It is not so much a classroom as it is an experimental base where human experiments are being conducted.
However, these full-coverage cabins looked familiar to Ash, but this wasn't...
"It's very similar to the virtual game cabins you often play, right?" An Nan said, "In other words, the virtual game cabins are like them."
Ya Xiu was startled for a moment, then immediately responded: "Yes, since consciousness penetration technology has been applied to private virtual games, then more important fields such as education, medicine, experiments, etc. must have already applied this technology!"
"Before I was born, the 'virtual education cabin' had already become the main body of basic education." An Nan introduced: "In addition to teachers in technical colleges and universities, teachers are no longer needed in primary and secondary education. The vast majority of people are from Starting from the age of five, you will enter the exclusive customized education plan of the education cabin. It is said that it is a wonderful experience. You will have a teacher who cares about you the most in every aspect. He will understand everything you think and use it. The most ingenious method will arrange the most comfortable scenes to make you fall in love with learning.”
“When you get to secondary education, you will start to explore your talents, from twisting to sharpshooting, from hair management to fashion design, from biological research to civil engineering... No matter you have been exposed to it before or not, the education cabin will Discover your hidden talents as much as possible, so that you can explore the limits of your talents in just a few years.”
"Wait a minute, you mean the education cabin can teach everyone in accordance with their aptitude?" Ya Xiu was a little confused: "That doesn't sound like..."
"It's just as you thought." An Nan said: "The education cabin borrowed the big data analysis from the Gospel. Don't be surprised, most high-tech companies will borrow the big data from the Gospel. The high-speed traffic flow along the way just now was neat and orderly in the sky. The orderly drone swarms are all analyzed with the help of Gospel data, so the blood of this city can flow like art."
"From what I heard from Benji, you and Mr. Harvey seem to have some doubts about our education system, believing that families without points will lag far behind those with points reserves."
An Nan glanced at the room filled with hundreds of education cabins: "But in fact, the gospel will not charge you a penny for tuition until your talents are recognized by the virtual world."
But Ash noticed the previous word in her words: "It is said?"
"Yes," An Nan flicked the amethyst earrings: "I never went to school."
"The vast majority of wealthy people will not receive the basic education provided by the gospel kingdom."
"Why?"
"Because basic education is not free. If you want to receive basic education, you have to sign a contract and pay the price."
"What price?"
“Get a lifelong education.”
Ash was stunned. He really didn't understand this time: "Is it the price to receive lifelong education?"
An Nan nodded and pointed to the mature sister who had just come out of the education cabin in the room next to her: "Depending on age, everyone has a certain amount of education time every year. The most is in youth, and they basically have to go to class every day. Education after working as an adult The time has been greatly reduced, but I still have to take at least 60 hours of classes every month.”
"Adult courses have a high degree of freedom. You can learn anything you want, even if you learn building blocks, playing the harmonica, makeup techniques, film and drama appreciation... As long as your brain absorbs new knowledge, it can offset the educational time."
Ash blinked: "Isn't this...a good thing?"
"I never said it was not a good thing." An Nan nodded slightly to the mature sister passing by and walked up the stairs: "The gospel country has been experiencing a technological explosion for thirty years, and the lifelong education system has made a lot of contributions."
“Then why don’t rich people get basic education?”
"Why don't you want me to be employed for a lifetime and insist on reducing the time to 101 days?" An Nan asked.
"You are making an inappropriate analogy." Ya Xiu immediately retorted: "How can being a cow and a horse for you be compared with lifelong education? One is eating shit, and the other is eating!"
"I don't think you're acting like a cow for me now." An Nan raised his eyebrows: "You mean, I'm shit?"
"No, no, no, I am the one, and you are the one who eats."
An Nan laughed angrily at him and forgot where he had said it. After a moment, he said: "Just like you are unwilling to accept a life-long contract, if we have a choice, we will not accept a life-long shackles. My family I would rather let Banji tutor me in my studies than make me sign a contract to receive basic education."
"By the way, the gospel country also has another life-long contract, or a life-long labor welfare contract. As long as you sign a contract with the Labor and Social Security Bureau, you can also get the social average salary when you are unemployed, but accordingly, the Labor and Social Security Bureau will Assign you appropriate work."
"Of course, the job must comply with the three basic principles: more money, less work, and close to home, and it must be in line with your interests and hobbies, because the assignment of work also relies on the data analysis of the Gospel. If there is no suitable job, the Gospel would rather you stay My family is receiving unemployment insurance benefits.”
"However, there are rarely long-term unemployment situations, because all enterprises have to accept the planning of the Labor and Social Security Bureau. The enterprise itself only has 10% of the staff quota, and the remaining 90% of employees must be provided by the Labor and Social Security Bureau. This policy still exists today. Healthy operation is enough to prove that the quality of the 90% of employees is probably better than the 10% recruited by the company itself."
Lifelong education, lifelong labor, then...
Ash's face looked a little strange: "Is there a lifelong love contract?"
An Nan smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible... Yes, the gospel can indeed help you find your perfect match if you saved the world in your previous life."
"But most of the time, the gospels can find treasures buried deep in the earth, can weigh the sun, and can measure the rhythm of the moon, but they just can't give us a perfect love."
"But..." An Nan's lips curled up in a subtle arc: "If you just choose the most suitable partner for you among the "people you know," the gospels can still help you. "
"Love is a luxury, but marriage is not. Lifelong marriage is very common here. Although it is not mandatory, most people will marry the most suitable person in their network after completing secondary education at the age of 17, and then follow the rules The instructions of the Gospels, to mate at the most appropriate time, produce the healthiest babies...it has been proven that those who do this are blessed.”
"The right education, the right job, the right partner. If there are difficult choices in life, then when you sign three lifelong contracts, your life will enter a simple mode. You only need to listen to the gospel quietly, and the world will You open up your most forgiving side.”
Discover the hidden talents in your body, find a job that is not great but can realize the value of life, and have a partner who may not be perfect but can help each other... Ashu is a little envious just thinking about it, and he has to watch the manager's chicken soup a few more times. Wen Cai was able to recover.
And these blessings are just the basic social security for most evangelists.
If the normal Evangelist is on easy difficulty, then Ash's previous life is at least on hard difficulty. Before starting the game, the producer recommends that first-time players not choose this difficulty.
Even more powerful in this life, I directly used the "More Difficult Start" enhancement module, and the enemies were strengthened in all aspects.
Thinking back now, Ash was stabbed by Gerald, the three-winged sacred magician, at the beginning. He was simply hit by a max-level boss who reduced his dimension. If any game dares to do this at the beginning, it is guaranteed to be refunded within 2 hours.
However……
Ash asked doubtfully: "Don't these all sound good? Miss, what are you dissatisfied with?"
"I'm not dissatisfied." An Nan smiled: "On the contrary, I am very grateful for this operating system. It is precisely because the gospel melody is so beautiful that my dissonant sound can be so harsh."
"arrive."
They arrived on the third floor and stood outside a room. The eldest lady pointed to the No. 15 education cabin inside: "There is my target, an orc magician, but a production magician has no combat effectiveness at all. Next is your job, Ash."
Ash looked around: "You want me to kill someone in school?"
"How is that possible? Our office is a good law-abiding citizen." An Nan said, "Just go over and catch him, beat him up, and let him leave here. This is a task I specially prepared for you."
"Ah? Why is this my mission?"
"Because your other two companions don't look like people who can stop. They are more suitable for in-depth service that causes death and maiming."
Ya Xiu didn't really refute An Nan for a moment. He thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that he had obtained a 'cowhide' magic spirit in the virtual realm. At first glance, you can tell that it is a spell from the weak faction, but if you use it directly, it can temporarily increase the defense, so Ash still keeps it and has not entered it into the system.
He activated the 'cowhide' magic spirit to defend himself, and his fair and rosy skin was immediately dyed with a light bronze color. Then he put on the mask given by Igula, and his appearance suddenly became as if he had eaten enough and had nothing to do. Street gangster.
"Is he a bad person?" Ashus suddenly asked.
"Not really." An Nan glanced at him, "I just want to save face."
Ash didn't say anything else. He entered the room and found an emergency call button next to the education cabin. After pressing it, the education cabin No. 15 quickly opened to both sides.
A medium-sized orc came out and looked at Ash blankly: "Who are you?"
Ash: "******"
The orc was surprised and delighted: "Really? My father died a few years ago, and my mother has never found a new wife. She will definitely like you very much."
Ash: "******"
The orc scratched his head: "Haha, my mind is not very good. Even when I come to study, I am more technical. I can't understand the theory."
Ash fell into deep thought and finally chose to stand on tiptoes and pat him on the head.
"Why don't you wear a hat?"
