Xu Piao looked down and saw that the hair hanging down from her shoulders had turned pure white. The clothes on her body were exactly the same as what she had seen on the computer screen before. She raised her hand and touched it, and naturally touched the pointed ears with delicate texture.

This is a holographic game.

When Xu Piao was young, online game novels were popular for a while, and she had certainly read them. In those novels, most of them were set in holographic games, describing holographic games as if they were another real world.

I think there is no one who doesn't yearn for holographic games.

Before she suddenly died and traveled through the book, the most advanced gaming technology in her world had only developed to VR technology, and most games on the market were still played on mobile phones and computers. Unlike now, entering the game felt like entering another world.

Xu Piao took a few tentative steps. The grass under his feet was naturally bent. The fabric of his clothes rubbed against each other as he walked, and the accessories occasionally made some noises when they touched each other. With a slight movement of his ears, he could hear the sound of insects jumping in the grass not far away.

How does this physics engine do this?

No, that's not right. This might not even be a physics engine.

She didn't feel anything connected to her body when she lay in the pod. Could it be that she entered the game through some mysterious form of brain waves? This seems to be the most common setting in holographic online game novels.

Xu Piao was immersed in holographic technology when he suddenly heard a series of "ding ding ding ding" sounds in his ears. The sounds were quite rapid and caught off guard. Xu Piao was frightened and looked around for the source of the sounds.

Normally, this sound should be a notification sound for new messages, but after she entered the holographic game, she didn't see any game icon. How would she know where to open it?

Fortunately, Xu Piao had played many games before, even though this was her first time playing a holographic game. However, the author of that interstellar sweet novel was from the same world as her, so the routine was easy to guess. So after a little try, she found that she could use voice commands to call out various game pages and open a chat channel.

"Piaopiao, the item has been sold to you. I'm here to collect the payment."

——This is the first private message, and along with it comes an attachment containing a letter.

Xu Piao continued to read and found that there were many chat messages below. For example, someone asked her if the equipment displayed in the trading hall could be cheaper, or if there were any other matching equipment.

And the message from the pinned contact at the top was 'Piaopiao, come to the dungeon to open up new land, the salary is high, Brother Huang said that you will get paid directly after you complete the dungeon!'

Xu Piao paused, swiped past the message, and continued to read other things.

After scrolling through all the messages, Xu Piao finally understood.

It turns out that not only the heroine of the novel makes money in the game, but the original owner also makes a living by making money in the game. No wonder she said that how could this girl have the mood to put a game cabin in the room to play games when her account balance was zero, and even get involved in the game between the male and female protagonists.

It seems that in the original novel, it is easy to find the reason why "Xu Piao" targeted the heroine. In addition to emotional disputes, there are probably also financial disputes.

After all, looking at Xu Piao's situation, she makes a living by selling things in the game and converting them into real currency. The heroine competing with her for equipment and position in the team is equivalent to robbing her money.

Stealing someone's money is like killing their parents, which will only make things difficult for them.

As for the 'Brother Huang' in the message, Xu Piao recalled that only the male protagonist of the novel had the word 'Huang' in his name, and that was Huang He. So this 'Brother Huang' should be the male protagonist of the novel.

It's impossible that the female supporting character would always be around the male lead just to join his group, or because he pays her generously and doesn't delay her payments?

Xu Piao was thinking about all these random things and didn't reply to the messages. Instead, he carefully counted the assets on this game account and then breathed a sigh of relief.

——That’s okay, it seems I won’t starve to death.

There are still quite a few game coins on this account. The person who just said he sold something transferred more than two thousand game coins to her. The total amount of game coins added up to nearly ten thousand.

Xu Piao fumbled and tried to convert the game coins on his game account into real money, and found that the conversion rate between game coins and real money was 5:1. After Xu Piao converted all the game coins, it was almost two thousand real money.

Although she didn't know what the prices were like here, she remembered that the heroine in the original novel used the money from the game to cure her father's illness, so the conversion rate should be okay.

The currency number on the game account became zero with Xu Piao's operation.

After the withdrawal was completed, although Xu Piao still wanted to experience the holographic game for a while, he chose to log off first when his survival problems had not been completely solved, and planned to figure out how to buy food.

Anyway, she couldn't drink even a single sip of that inferior nutritional supplement with a water-tainted taste!

…

However……

When Xu Piao climbed out of the cabin and opened the computer to check the balance, the number on it did not change. It was still a big [-00.00-]

Didn't you raise it? Or was it delayed?

Xu Piao was a little unsure what was going on, but a faint sense of foreboding made her feel a little uneasy. While fumbling around, she didn't know what triggered it, and suddenly a mechanical female voice came from the bracelet:

[6,000 has been paid this month, and the remaining debt is 99,928,000 Alliance Coins. Is there anything else you can help me with?]

...?

"Wait, wait, wait, what debt did you say? How much is the remaining amount?" Xu Piao thought he had misheard. He didn't even care to be surprised that there was an artificial intelligence-like thing in this light brain. His attention was all on the string of numbers.

[Debt remaining: 99,928,000 Alliance Coins. Do you have any further questions?] The robotic female voice repeated what Xu Piao had requested.

This is a big problem!

Ninety-nine million, nine hundred and twenty-eight thousand. I wonder how much the original owner has already paid back. Rounding it up, it's one hundred million. Even if this so-called Alliance currency is calculated like the Japanese yen, it's still a lot! How could the original owner, a young girl who looked like she had only recently reached adulthood, owe a hundred million?!

"How did this debt come about?" Xu Piao tried to ask.

[Children of criminals must pay social maintenance fees and security deposits upon reaching adulthood. They are not allowed to leave the planet until all fees have been paid. Leaving without permission is considered a crime.] The robotic female voice replied without any fluctuation.

Such a rather absurd and outrageous answer.

Because the amount of information was too much, Xu Piao didn't know how to react for a moment. He sat on the only gaming cabin in the house with a dull face and checked the things on the computer. After clicking around, he found the account transaction information and saw a string of bright red deduction data on it.

From this, we can guess a little bit about Xu Piao's lifestyle. Those inferior nutritional supplements should be the amount she bought for a month at the end of last month, because as long as there is a balance in her account, the money will be automatically deducted and repaid. Only when the balance reaches 6,000 in a month will there be any extra money left.

Xu Piao saw that the repayment record on the account started from twelve months ago. In some months, if the repayment of 6,000 was not enough, it would be postponed to the next month. This means that the original owner should have been an adult for one year.

With this calculation, if you repay the loan at a rate of 6,000 yuan a month and 72,000 yuan a year, it will take 1,300 years to pay off the 100 million yuan. Unless something unexpected happens, you may not be able to leave this planet in your lifetime, and you will have to bear this debt for the rest of your life. All the money you earn will be used to repay the debt, and you will have to eat inferior nutritional supplements every day to maintain your life.

If the difficulty level at the beginning was considered ordinary hell, it can now be considered surreal nightmare difficulty.

But there's no choice... Never mind, I'll just make the best of it. The original owner, a young girl who had just reached adulthood, managed to make it through, so there's no reason for her to just lie down and admit defeat without even trying.

Xu Piao lowered his eyes and stared at the records on the computer screen. His light-colored pupils reflected a bright blue light, and he began to think about how to solve the situation.

The first problem was survival. All the interstellar coins withdrawn from her game account had been deducted, and she was now penniless. There were only two bags of that inferior nutrient solution left. She had to find a way to avoid starving to death.

Just follow the original owner's method and work in the game to make money?

Although this seems to be the only method that works for now, Xu Piao also realizes that the money she can earn in the game is limited.

Because if you want to work for a long time to get equipment to sell for money, investing in the game character is also essential. You must spend most of your energy on upgrading, and you can't sell all the equipment you get, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the first-line team and will be arranged to the second and third lines - not to mention that even if she doesn't fall behind, the heroine, a god-level nurse, will join the hero's pioneering team in the future. Under the overlap of professions, resource tilt is inevitable. These are things Xu Piao has seen a lot when playing games when she was in school.

Before, the original owner was the only nanny in the male protagonist's team. The money she earned from working hard in the dungeon and selling equipment was barely enough to pay off the monthly payment of 6,000 yuan and buy those inferior nutritional supplements. If it really came to that, Xu Piao estimated that she could just chew the scrap metal piled in the room.

Xu Piao doesn't like to be too passive, and even more so doesn't like to let others decide his future.

She didn't know how intelligent the mechanical female voice coming from the bracelet was, so she didn't rush to use it to understand the situation. Instead, she learned and familiarized herself with the operation of the optical computer bit by bit to search for the information she wanted to know.
