Chapter 143 A World of Desperate Efforts to Make Money
Su Qi looked at the dark personal space. All the matching options had been locked by chains.
There was only a dark bloody handprint in front of him.
Waiting for the player to press it.
Su Qi thought about it. He hadn't entered the paradise yet, so there were some things that were hard to say and judge. However, Su Qi felt that what Xu Linqiu told might not be the whole picture, and there seemed to be many unknown things in it.
He reached out his hand and pressed it.
[Player Su Buxian is about to enter the Twelve Worlds Tournament]
[A competition area will be randomly assigned to you]
[This competition area is: Fantasy Universe]
[The matching mechanism will perform algorithmic matching based on the current ranking]
[Please note that the competition will adopt a points system, and all players’ performance in the instance will affect points]
And the next moment.
Blood began to seep from the gaps in the room and windows, swallowing Suki wholeheartedly.
——
Suki woke up from the bus.
Not an ordinary bus.
It's a very special kind of bus that flies in the sky, and the passengers around it are also unusual.
Humans with prosthetic eyes and limbs.
A hunky green-headed monster wearing a suit and tie.
A minion wearing a work hat.
"It caught me a little off guard."
Su Qi withdrew his gaze from the inside of the bus, and then looked outside. There were a lot of neon skyscrapers and tram tracks extending in the sky. Everything was so cyberpunk.
and.
There are huge screens on many skyscrapers that are playing holographic advertisements.
[The new prosthetic assembly package is now online and on sale! 】
[The Pavilion of Thousand Stars, tickets are pre-sold for 500,000 cyber coins]
[If you find any violation of the rules in the city, please call the police immediately, and illegal handling personnel will be on call to solve your problems]
At the same time, in the largest grand square, there is a holographic image flashing in a rock and roll style!
[The city of bliss where weirdness and technology coexist! 】
[In ten days, a much-anticipated superstar will arrive, and he will host the annual Death, Madness, and Joy Auction Ceremony! Location: Hall of Ten Thousand Stars! Stay tuned! 】
Su Qi looked away and said to himself slightly: "Is this the cyberpunk city?"
But there seems to be some differences.
Because this city not only contains human beings, but also all kinds of weird, strange, and strange races.
It’s just that everyone is busy, just like office workers.
He was also wearing a wrinkled and ill-fitting suit.
And this time.
The ultra-thin watch strap on his wrist has a holographic image popping up on it.
"Dear Citizen Su Buxian, I would like to remind you that your balance is currently only 100 Cybercoins, which will end in ten days. The fees you will pay include citizenship fees, rent, water and electricity fees, clothing rental fees, network usage fees, etc., totaling 8213.23 Cybercoins. BoCoin, in order to avoid violating the regulations, please deposit sufficient funds in a timely manner.”
"Once the payment is insufficient, your citizenship will be stripped and you will be deported!"
He looked at the message silently and realized that he was a poor man.
The suit he was wearing was also rented.
And what do I want to do now?
The bus slowly stopped at a cloud platform.
At the same time, the watch is also reminding Su Qi:
"You have arrived at your destination! 20 Cybercoins have been deducted, and the current balance is 80."
Su Qi raised his eyebrows, why is this thing so expensive? He left the bus with his briefcase.
"I finally understand. This is a world where prices are soaring and capital is expanding."
"but me"
Su Qi looked at the interview materials and signboards prepared in his briefcase: "It seems that you are going to the company for an interview in order to protect your identity?"
【Please note】
[Number of players in the current instance: 1000]
[Each player will have an initial 10 points]
[Please note that when the points reach zero, the player will be eliminated and will not be able to participate in the competition]
[The key word for increasing points in the current world is: consumption]
Su Qi silently looked at the system prompt that popped up.
There are actually thousands of players in this city, and they seem to be divided into different areas.
As for this keyword.
"Consumption?" Su Qi said to himself: "Just now, the bus fare deduction seems to have only added 0.1 points."
too low.
"What can I buy with the 80 cyber coins I have left? A lollipop?"
soon.
Su Qi realized that he was wrong.
Because a lollipop was sold for 199 cyber coins.
Can't afford it myself.
"It's so shabby. It's so shabby. Not only do I have no money, I also owe a lot of fees."
Su Qi decided to go to the company where he was about to interview first.
Thousands of players are competing in this city. Now that they know that the way to get points is consumption, they will definitely work crazy to make money.
and.
The higher the luxury level, the more points you earn.
Of course first.
Su Qi is going to succeed in getting this job.
He quickly arrived at the company where he was going to interview - the Weird Processing and Containment Company!
The large area was filled with people who came to apply for jobs.
"so many people?"
In the fast-paced cyber city, money is the backbone of everything!
There are no twists and turns, the real boss is the one who has money, and if he does not sign a contract, pays his salary daily, dies or fails to meet the requirements, he will be replaced by the next one.
Everyone seems to be trying desperately to get into this company.
Su Qi also quickly entered the corridor outside the interview venue.
He discovered the existence of other players, and after he stepped here, he caught their attention.
There are thousands of players in the entire city. If most of them start in the same way, the probability of encountering them will be greatly increased.
In other words, there are other players who are interviewing at other companies at this moment.
Everyone wants to work hard to make money and improve their points.
A middle-aged man smiled and greeted Su Qi: "It seems that you are the last player among all the interviewees."
"What can I say?"
"Time." The young man pointed to the holographic time on the wall: "Half a minute after the time you just entered this place, you are no longer allowed to enter here."
"So, apart from those other interviewees, there are only five of us players recruited by this company."
In addition to middle-aged people and young people, there is also a female player and a chubby brother!
"Next person."
At this time, a cold tone came from the interview room.
Someone was thrown out, with burns all over his body and bruises.
"Surely, this is no ordinary interview?" Little Fatty's eyes twitched.
"This is already the seventh one." A young man wearing glasses shook his head gently and said: "It's called a weird shelter company, of course it's not that simple."
"I expect making money in this city, even a normal job, is very risky."
The young man pondered his analysis and was very clear: "However, fortunately, according to my understanding, every company has a promotion system, and it does not look at seniority, only ability. This is also a way for each player to make money and widen the gap. "
"After all, the way to earn points is consumption. Only when you earn enough money and have status can you afford high consumption."
Su Qi looked at his ID [Yeyu Lingfeng], and it seemed that he was a player who was good at collecting information, analyzing and reasoning.
"So, I suggest that the five of us should join forces and use our respective advantages to work hard to improve our positions and earn cyber coins." The young man's suggestion was recognized by the other three.
"What do you think? Player Su Buxian." Ye Yu Lingfeng looked at Su Qi. In his opinion, the arrangement of each company is equivalent to dividing the players into teams. In this case, the five players must Work together.
"I think"
Su Qi pondered: "Instead of working hard and giving the money you earn to your boss to buy a car or a house, why not do something big? I have a more profitable way."
Everyone looked stunned: "What is it?"
He paused: "There is a bank on the way here."
"??"
Ye Yu Lingfeng coughed: "Don't kid me, robbing a bank is a serious crime in this city. According to the information I saw on the way here, this thing is simply impossible."
Su Qi was very interested: "Why?"
The reason why he arrived last was because he stood outside the bank for a long time.
He really has this plan.
"Any criminal action will be dealt with vigorously and resolutely by the processing team. They are very powerful, and they are almost not the weapons and combat power that players can fight against." Ye Yu Lingfeng shook his head: "Moreover, once you commit a crime, your citizenship will also be deprived. A city-wide arrest warrant will be issued, and in this case, you will be trapped in a situation of endless pursuit, not to mention that this is a cyber world, and electronic eyes and tracking technology are difficult to guard against. "
“If you can’t make money, you can’t increase your points, so almost no players will choose this path.”
Ye Yu Lingfeng believed that after he said this, the young man in front of him would no longer consider this dangerous path.
"So, it's better to prepare for the interview in front of you with peace of mind. This should be an opportunity given by the system. If you fail, you are expected to fall into a more difficult situation."
Su Qi made an OK gesture.
"Don't worry, I'm not a random person."
He won't mess around now. After all, there is no information now and he doesn't have much certainty. He will first go to this company to see the follow-up and then decide how to rob the bank.
Ye Yu Lingfeng didn't know the dangerous thoughts in Su Qi's heart.
He is still analyzing what kind of interview it will be.
And soon.
In the interview room, many people have been eliminated one after another.
Although some were not injured, their faces were pale and revealed an air of despair.
They seem to be desperate people. Without this job, they will have no income and will be evicted soon. In that situation, there is no doubt that they are no different from death.
"It seems like there are only five of you left."
A holographic avatar with a flashing red light appeared at the entrance to the corridor, as if looking at them.
"Come in together."
Ye Yu Lingfeng silently warned everyone to be careful, and then took the lead and walked over.
After entering the room, the lights are a little dim.
Behind a long table sat a faceless man, wearing a mask and with a modified body.
There are no chairs in front.
Yeyu Lingfeng stood in the first place.
He has been collecting information from the beginning, and he also believes that he should be the one with the most experience and ability among the five players.
Then he can only be the leader.
No matter what happened during the interview, Ye Yu Lingfeng was mentally prepared.
"From where."
The interviewer didn't even ask for a name.
"Slum area" Ye Yu Lingfeng spoke.
The interviewer interrupted him calmly: "Slum area? I'm not asking where you live, but your original world."
Ye Yu Lingfeng's expression froze.
The original world. Damn it, he almost forgot that there were a large number of residents of different races in the city. It was obvious that this was a hodgepodge city with many people from different worlds.
"paradise."
He glanced at the lie detector and spit out these two words.
Others followed suit.
"paradise."
"paradise."
"paradise."
"Eastern Tang Dynasty."
The four of them couldn't help but look at Su Qi, their eyes widened: "????"
Su Qi spread his hands: "I didn't lie."
The interviewer found out that the instrument did not give a warning when he found out he was lying, and he actually recorded it.
Then he didn't ask any other questions, and he didn't even bother with his name. He said calmly: "Then let's get straight to the point."
The partition in the middle of the table opened slightly, and five empty boxes were pushed up.
"Our position is very simple, just express delivery and shelter."
“You need to package what the customer needs into this box.”
"Just like" he snapped his fingers:
Five more glass jars appeared on the table. In the jars was an octopus-like creature, but it was covered in thorns.
"Now the only thing you have to do is put it in and pack it up without breaking either side."
"Of course, I don't mean any party except yourselves."
Ye Yu Lingfeng took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand."
Suki looked over.
The octopus was weird and had thorns all over its body. It had great strength, was poisonous and highly aggressive, but had extremely low intelligence and weak mental strength. His pupils flickered slightly.
Ye Yu Lingfeng was also quietly conveying the message: "Don't offend, don't touch the spikes, move even more gently, and it's best not to make any sound."
Others are operating carefully, using various detailed tips posted on the glass jars.
And this time.
"Reach out."
The glass jar in front of Su Qi had been opened directly.
And the octopus was stretching out its tentacles to hold Suki's hand like a puppy.
"???" Ye Yu Lingfeng's eyes widened: "How did you do this!"
Su Qi snapped his fingers: "Skills, don't forget skills."
He discovered that his spiritual pupils had the original power of the Evil God Abyss. Although it was not directly displayed, it had a high-priority influence on various weirdnesses. The weirdness itself was the product of pollution. And the power of pollution came from In the abyss, the evil god is the leader of pollution.
But there are limits to the impact.
"Stand up!" Su Qi gave the order, and the octopus propped its weird tentacles on the ground.
"Front flip!"
The octopus gritted its teeth and turned over in mid-air!
"Backflip!"
It does so again!
"Another 720-degree spiral turn!"
The octopus froze. It had been doing this for a long time without knowing what to do, and was stuck in a tangle.
But at this time, it seemed that due to excessive stimulation, he got rid of this influence, and then anger arose in his heart, and he neighed, stretched out his tentacles towards Su Qi and killed him!
next moment.
Snapped!
"Okay, let's go in."
Suki slapped it into the box and closed it skillfully.
"."
Ye Yu Lingfeng and others looked at this scene in shock, and the interviewer also fell silent.
What kind of operation is this?
besides
