Chapter 144 Stop Talking, Brother, I’m Going to Break the Defense
Under everyone's careful operation.
Other weird octopuses were also put into the jar. Although it was different from Suki's operation, it was still completed.
"good."
The interviewer knocked on the table gently:
"It is true that you are stronger than those people and can join the job, but I want to remind you that these items in the company are only the lowest level of containment. There are more dangerous items that are not that simple."
"In addition, the hourly wage is 100 cyber coins. If you can contain higher levels of pollutants, you can increase your wages."
Several people's eyes lit up slightly.
Su Qi glanced at them.
Look at how hopeless you are.
Is this also bright?
There's a lollipop and 199 cyber coins outside. You show me your hammer.
Moreover, the mentioned job promotion is also a piece of cake, and at the same time, he will encounter more dangerous contained objects.
"."
Under the arrangement, everyone began to enter the company and prepared to officially start their working careers.
Yeyu Lingfeng whispered:
"Remember, the most important thing for us right now is not only making money, but also improving our status. At present, nearly a thousand other players are acting like us at the moment. Everyone is comparing the speed of making money in the early stage, but more importantly, after improving their status. , a chance to make more money.”
"Then there is also the consumption category. It is not yet clear what items and categories are consumed, and how much the points have increased." He fell into deep thought: "I am still a little unclear about this information."
Su Qi said softly: "Luxury goods."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned for a moment.
“In this city, there are people who don’t regard money as money, and spend lavishly, living an extremely luxurious life, enjoying luxuries that are priced beyond their value. At the same time, there are also people who cannot afford rent, water and electricity, have no savings, and have no money to eat. Not having enough to eat, not having enough clothes to wear, being unemployed and facing poverty that deprives them of their identity.”
"Busy. But doing nothing."
Su Qi said to himself: "It's really the extreme distance unique to cyberpunk."
"."
This is the case for every player they start, not to mention most of the city's existence.
"I can't say it, but there's always a heart-wrenching feeling." The pony-tailed female player sighed.
The middle-aged man also said quietly: "This reminds me a bit."
"Brother, stop talking, stop talking. I admit that I am about to break my defense."
The little fat brother was about to burst into tears: "How about we play a good game? At least we can forget all this."
Ye Yu Lingfeng looked at the people who were aroused by Su Qi's words. He fell into silence and looked at the place he was about to arrive. He had to make up for it again: "Here we are, it seems we are going to start working to make money."
"."
Su Qi and the dejected people were led into the so-called warehouse. The space here was huge and there were other employees with the same positions. They were also different. It seemed that they were from different worlds as the interviewer said. .
Each person is also divided into areas, has transmission channels and a holographic screen, and seems to communicate with customers from all walks of life.
"Let's work, be workers, work hard, and one day we can become masters." The little fat brother clenched his fists and encouraged.
"I'm going too."
"Come on everyone! If anything happens, come and seek help immediately. We are all in the same boat now."
"good!"
Ye Yu Lingfeng looked at everyone who had regained their energy a little and exhaled. At least everyone was working hard. In this city where thousands of players compete, nothing has been finalized yet.
No one knows what will happen next.
"Su Buxian, then I will go to work."
"Okay, go ahead."
Su Qi watched Ye Yu Lingfeng walk away. He was not in a hurry to return to his work station, even though it showed that as long as he left for five minutes, his wages would start to be deducted.
500 Cybercoins at a time.
But he was not in a hurry.
Su Qi walked around and observed some items being transferred from various workstations, and he felt a little enlightened.
"I seem to understand now. Could it be that the transfer station for the things Russell bought originally is here."
In the original team copy, a spaceship filled with all kinds of weird and pollutants flew to Apokolips.
These things on board were all tributes handed over to the Sunset Spirit King.
Now the source seems to have finally been found.
"Okay, let's do it first." Su Qi also returned to his work station. He is still in debt and plans to get some start-up capital first and then go and see the situation.
but.
Even in such a large company, the working hours are not suitable for ordinary people. They work for 5 hours in the morning, take a break for lunch, and work 9 hours in the afternoon, and they have to work overtime.
“Going to work 14 hours a day”
Su Qi also discovered a situation.
That is, no matter what kind of position they hold, no matter how poor they are, everyone is dressed decently, wearing a suit, tie, small leather shoes, and a round-neck shirt and work pants.
It seems impossible for homeless people in ragged clothes to exist in this city. Every one of them is neatly dressed and clean, and there is a beauty in showing off.
“Is this because of the subconscious rules of the industry and the city?”
Su Qi made a rough judgment.
"In this city, appearance represents image and can even affect job interviews, and it must be in line with the temperament of cyberpunk."
This is why.
Even if everyone has no money, they have to rent a decent set of clothing, and it is not just to cope with the interview. Even after the interview is over, they will not return it, but wear it in all aspects of daily life.
It seems that he is proving to others that he has a job and is living a good life.
Su Qi also started working.
The work process is quite simple. Strange things or contaminants will be sent to the transmission entrance. There will be labels on them to remind you of the strange characteristics, and then they will process and package them.
And contact the customer, paste the address, and express it.
"It's similar to an assembly line, except that there are more complicated processes, there are more threats to life, and there is no personal insurance fund."
At this time.
At a work station behind Su Qi was an unshaven old man. His whole body was covered in modified cheap prosthetic equipment, flashing with electric current and unstable light.
He suddenly screamed and was suddenly pierced through the eye by a blood-stained thorn flower!
"Help."
"puff!"
The thorn flower cuts right through the past.
The uncle's struggling body gradually slowed down, and only the current that had not dissipated flowed through the machine, causing his body to twitch.
"Send it off, clean it up, and hire the next packer."
The people handling it also quickly received the instructions and came to handle it all very skillfully.
Once it is seriously injured or even killed by pollutants or weird things.
There will also be no compensation.
There is no contract, just cold money transactions.
As for the city’s rules?
Sorry, that is to protect the powerful, the rich, and capital, and has nothing to do with ordinary people.
"And" Su Qi looked at the question mark on the uncle's body.
Many people do not install prostheses just to look good, follow trends, or seek convenience. They just sell their human organs and tissues in exchange for money, and then install some worthless and cheap prostheses to survive.
"Pollution type dungeon and this city in front of you. Which one is stronger and which one is weaker?"
Work is ongoing.
Other work stations are carefully handling contaminants or weirdness to avoid the same situation as that uncle.
Only Su Qi is extremely fast.
Whether it is weirdness or pollutants, under his spiritual eyes, it is like a good baby. As long as he does not stimulate it or let it react, it is no different from an ordinary assembly line.
so.
Su Qi quickly completed the day's target and continued to do it ten times more.
but.
"Okay, I'm starting to get bored."
Su Qi doesn't like things that are static, but he can rely on this ability to gradually advance and become the king among workers.
Commonly known as!
Super worker.
But it's of no use.
And he couldn't touch fish yet. There were obviously a large number of electronic eyes and holographic detection instruments around them watching them.
At this time.
"That guy is very talented."
The interviewer seemed to be paying attention as well. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "He can be promoted."
Su Qi also quickly received the message, asking him to go to another area.
"Congratulations to Citizen Su Buxian. Your position in the company has been upgraded from lower level to D level, and your cyber coins per hour have been increased to 200."
hehe.
Finally I can buy two more lollipops.
Ye Yu Lingfeng and others were stunned for a moment and looked at Su Qi:
"So fast?"
Su Qi said calmly: "I'll go up and check the situation first. You guys work hard and I will marry you a sister-in-law next year."
"."
Pooh!
The people at other workstations all cast envious glances, and then worked harder.
The promotion system is unambiguous and ensures motivation to a certain extent.
But amid the city's outrageous consumerism and madness, money will always flow higher.
at the same time.
When Su Qi stepped into the next area, he also received a reminder.
"Be aware that you will be dealing with requests from higher level clients."
"There will also be more dangers."
It seems interesting that if you continue to advance, you can have access to higher-level people and even more information.
However, the screens provided by the company can only be used to communicate with customers. They cannot play games, search, or do other unnecessary things. Each employee's communicator will also be disconnected from the Internet, leaving almost no chance for information to be leaked or explored.
But Su Qi also has a way, and that is to chat.
Customers who can send or buy things here are already considered middle-class people with a certain amount of funds.
After all, the gap in the middle is too big.
He often guides the other party in his words to get the information he wants, and even gets some tips and high praise.
"Damn it, why do I look like a chat guy?"
The half day passed like this.
There is an hour's break at noon. After all, people are like iron rice or steel. No matter how evil their company is, they cannot afford to give their employees time to eat.
certainly.
As Su Qi expected, the company canteen is not free either.
All food costs money.
"It's so special!" The little fat man held his own plate and looked at the cafeteria window with wide eyes: "A piece of steak costs an extra 1,500 cyber coins! My whole day's wages are not enough to buy one."
“Even regular meatball soup costs 700!”
"Is this definitely a highly developed city of the future? Why do I feel so cold in my heart?"
Su Qi said calmly: "Don't look at it, that's not food prepared for us."
He pointed to the other side: "That's where it is."
There are a large number of people crowded on the other side of the cafeteria, and what they buy is not food, but various nutritional mixtures, mucus, and satiating edible compounds.
"That one is cheap. You can buy it for 100 cyber coins. Apart from being able to maintain life activity standards, it seems to have no other advantages."
"????"
"I can't do this job for a day!"
Su Qi added another point: "Imagine that I have a mother above me and children below me. Why don't you do it? If you don't do it, others will do it."
"." The ponytailed female player was stunned and said faintly: "Wait a minute. I don't have children to raise now."
The middle-aged man said sadly: "I have it! If it breaks, I will break the defense too."
Ye Yu Lingfeng coughed: "Okay, don't talk about this, let's go buy some mixture first. After all, the rest time is only one hour."
He also pulled Su Qi quietly: "Don't irritate them. Although it is unintentional, it will still affect them."
Su Qi didn't answer.
All he wanted to say was.
Who said I did it unintentionally?
The five of them quickly bought the mixture, and the little fat brother put a piece of the mixture on Nuo Da's dinner plate in a serious manner.
"What are you doing?"
"I was wondering, what if it tastes good?"
Su Qi just wanted to say, thinking too much.
As expected, the little fat guy's face changed slightly after eating it: "Why is it tasteless? Although I feel full, this feeling is so false."
"Normally, if this thing is delicious, then who would still yearn for high-quality food." Su Qi said softly.
He now understands why a lollipop can be sold for more than a hundred cyber coins.
Food is the epitome of luxury consumption.
Everyone sighed.
"Hey, isn't this a fantasy universe?"
"It feels like my fantasy has been shattered."
Ye Yu Lingfeng coughed: "Let's talk about promotion. Now that we are proficient, we can speed up appropriately and should be promoted to the next level soon."
"By the way, Su Buxian, do you have any experience to teach us? You are already D level now, right?"
Su Qi raised two fingers: "First, my technique is difficult to teach, so you should be more steady."
"Second, I am now C-level, and I earn 500 cyber coins per hour."
Everyone's eyes widened: "You're going too far! You must be cheating."
What he said was so realistic and sad, but in the end he worked harder than anyone else and got promoted faster than anyone else!
This is no different from secretly studying involution in a dormitory! asshole!
Instead, Ye Yu Lingfeng's eyes lit up: "If this continues, Su Buxian, you seem to be able to enter a higher level of the company, gain advantages, and help us."
"This." Su Qi shook his head: "I'm afraid not. I'm afraid that by the end of this position, I will be promoted to C level at most. B level is usually a small supervisor, and A level is a big leader."
"These two levels require status, connections and background, and they also need to pay money to have a chance."
He paused: "In short, it's all kinds of restrictions. It's not that simple to break them."
The three of them sighed silently.
"However, I feel relieved when I think that other players are similar to us."
After all, no matter what, everyone is on the same starting line, and whether you are a dragon or a tiger, you have to lie down here.
Su Qi said nothing.
This is hard to say.
Every company that can stand in this cyber city shows that it understands the rules. Most of them are extremely evil-minded. At the same time, there is also a part of the elite class, the real capital families, forces, and organizations, who are still entrenched in it.
There are always some players who will take the wrong approach and choose to contact these powerful people to see if they can get opportunities or higher positions.
but.
Not in a hurry.
This is only the first day, and the system has not released any competitive content yet. The main thing now is for players to collect information, accumulate cyber coins, and gain some starting advantages.
soon.
Everyone has returned to their workstations. Cyber coins will be deducted for being late, leaving early, leaving without permission, and engaging in illegal activities.
Everyone is very busy.
Su Qi also returned to his place. He has now reached level C. Although his salary is much higher, he is still a delivery worker.
but.
None of this matters.
The important thing is that he can also get in touch with some high-end customers, who may not be the real aristocracy, but obviously have nothing to do with ordinary people.
And the things they bought or sent have obviously changed. Although there are many more outrageous and dangerous objects, there are also some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even useless small objects.
at the same time.
The price is also ridiculously high.
Almost all start at 1 million.
"You rich second generation who is obsessed with wealth and wealth, if you think about it like this, you should give Ye Shou a two-punch."
Ye Shou, who had just come out of a certain place and was about to enter the competition, sneezed.
?
And employees don't dare to steal these things at all. Once discovered... Oh no, this will inevitably be discovered, and there will be only one result: being stripped of citizenship and saddled with huge debts.
They are then sold to human trafficking organizations.
"continue."
Su Qi also continued to obtain information. He roughly learned about the various powerful people in the city and learned about some organizational forces.
But it is difficult to get in touch with them deeply.
After all, once he has this proactive tendency, he will be detected immediately and given a warning.
"It's really hard to guard against death." This made it difficult for Su Qi to start. He was able to pass [? 】Obtain the other party's preferences and interests, and then contact them. However, with this restriction, unless the customer actively requests it, it is generally difficult to continue.
And this time.
However, a customer with the ID "花开富贵" came online.
"?"
Does this ID look vaguely familiar? Which wealthy aunt is online?
"Please note, employee number 93123, this customer is extremely important. Please be careful with your words and communication, and no intrusion into his privacy is allowed!"
Su Qi: "."
He looked at what the other party bought. It was cosmetics, and the price was ridiculously high. As expected, it was a flower blooming for wealth. He didn't know how many points he could save by buying this thing.
Does robbing a bank seem better than robbing a rich woman?
but.
There are restrictions though.
But it was rare for Su Qi to encounter such a big customer, so he still wanted to see if he could find some opportunities.
