As a laid-off reemployed worker, Yun Jian was accidentally swept into a real-life survival game when she had nowhere else to turn. She was also 'lucky' enough to acquire a special attribute...
Seeing that some people were getting even more into their insults, Yun added another rule: "Anyone who wants to buy black medicine from me must submit their previous chat history on the public screen to confirm that they have not verbally abused me before they can make the purchase."
This statement was made as soon as it was posted.
The players were dumbfounded.
The fourth brother felt extremely relieved when he saw the message. "These people should be taught a lesson. They insulted the boss so much before, and they still wanted to buy medicine from him. Dream on!"
After saying that, the fourth brother looked at Yun Jian with a grin, "Boss, leave the task of reviewing the speech records to me! I guarantee that not a single one will slip through the net!"
Yun Jian had no objections, and she didn't have time to keep an eye on these little things every day.
Some players who had previously criticized Yunjian became enraged and launched even more scathing attacks.
"As the richest man in China, is this all the petty stuff you have? You resort to such despicable acts after just a few words of criticism. You are unworthy of the title of the richest man!"
"Exactly! We only cursed at you a couple of times, but if you don't sell the medicine, that's going to kill us!"
"You're really heartless! We said a few words to you, and you want us to pay with our lives. You're even more ruthless than Li Meng!"
"That medicine was given to you by the system. You're just taking it for yourself, which is given to all the players by the system. Aren't you afraid the system will come after you?"
"Exactly! That medicine is useless to you. It's better to let it rot in your hands than to use it to save someone's life! They say saving a life is worse than building a seven-story pagoda. You should accumulate more good karma!"
Yun waited until everyone in the public chat had vented their anger before slowly speaking: "Are you all done cursing? I've remembered all the people who cursed me. As for you saying I'm petty? Sorry, I am petty. I'm unhappy because you cursed me, so I won't sell you anything. Is there a problem?"
After he finished speaking, the chat was silent for a while.
After a long while, things returned to normal.
However, it was visibly less players were speaking up.
[These people deserve to be punished like this. Seriously, they want to act like royalty to Yun Jian, but they have to belittle and insult him first. What kind of logic is that?]
[So, there's always a reason why someone is pitiful. Just reading their comments on the public chat makes me furious.]
[That's so satisfying! Those bastards deserve to rot to death.]
Just like Lao Si said, acting all high and mighty like a beggar, giving me charity is something you can only dream of!
Although black potions are expensive, they are necessities, so many players use their points to buy them.
The fourth brother kept an eye on the public chat while reviewing the buyers' comments.
They worked until dark.
Even while eating, he kept opening the system panel without stopping.
As his refusal to sell increased, more and more players fell into despair, began to howl in the public chat, and searched everywhere for medicine.
"Everyone, please be the judge. All I said was that she didn't deserve to be the richest woman, and she refused to sell me the medicine. I didn't even curse at her. Do you think this is fair to me?"
"Come on, I remember you called her a bitch, but it seems she's serious now. A lot of guys will probably be unable to buy the medicine. Let's think of other ways first!"
"I refuse to believe it. With so many players, we can't find a doctor. Can't we just find a doctor and make medicine ourselves instead of using the system?"
"It seems this is the only way. Let's do a crowdfunding campaign. Whoever can provide the medicine, we'll give them our crowdfunding points!"
The crowdfunding issue gradually started to be discussed in the public chat.
Just as everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, Li Tao issued an announcement.
[Buy red medicine from me, 300 points per dose, loan available if needed, while supplies last]
The fourth brother was still reviewing the comments when he suddenly saw Li Tao's announcement. He immediately shouted to Yun Jian with schadenfreude, "Boss, come quick! Li Tao has put Red Medicine on the trading platform too. Guess how many points he'll price it?"
"How many?"
The fourth brother slowly raised three fingers.
"three hundred?!"
It's really dark!
She felt that selling 100 points was already incredibly greedy, but Li Tao did something even more ruthless.
She quickly opened the public chat to see how the other players were reacting.
As she expected, the public chat was filled with gloom.
"Three hundred? Are you trying to grab points? I don't even know if I can earn that many points in total, and you want me to take out a loan? Does that mean I'll be working for a loan my whole life?"
"Holy crap, I've finally seen what it means to be a heartless capitalist. They're just too, too, too corrupt."
"Compared to this, I suddenly feel that Yunjian is not so bad."
"Forget it, I'll just find a quiet place to wait for death! There's no way to survive. Buying a red potion and a black potion costs four hundred points. If I live, all I'll have to do is incur debt. What's the point?"
"@Li Tao, could you be any more ruthless? You're selling red medicine, which is even less rare than black medicine. People in Yunjian only sell black medicine for 100 points. Isn't this too unreasonable?"
"Upstairs, they're playing the monopoly game, just to rip you off. You're trying to reason with Li Tao? Should I say you're naive or innocent?"
"Is the crowdfunding campaign still ongoing? Count me in."
"Isn't anyone going to take down Li Meng's stronghold?"
"You're going? We'll cheer you on!"
Yun Jian logged off after watching for a while, just as Liang Song brought Zhang Jianming in.
Yun Jian glanced at him dismissively. "You're the one who stole my seedlings? That's not surprising at all."
Zhang Jianming felt a natural fear when facing Yun Jian. "Boss, I... I didn't mean it. They forced me! I was forced!"
"Forced you? Who forced you?"
Zhang Jianming kept his head down, not daring to raise it. "I...I don't know either. They contacted me directly and said they would spare my life if I stole the vegetable seedlings from them!"
Liang Song nodded in agreement, "I've seen his chat history; the other party did indeed contact him anonymously."
"Don't know?" Yun Jian's tone suddenly rose, and he sneered, "You don't even know who they are, yet you obediently did what they said?"
Zhang Jianming lowered his head even further. "They have a book of life and death in their hands. They said if I don't give them the vegetable seedlings, they'll cross me off the book of life and death."
Yun Jian frowned. "The Book of Life and Death?"
"Yes, they showed me the video, and it's true that people's names can be crossed out. I just wanted to live, boss, I really didn't mean to!"
"If you want to live, then give away what Bai Yu and I risked our lives to get back?"
Zhang Jianming pleaded in a low voice, "But you're so powerful, boss. Even if you lose the seed, you still have the ability to get it back. I... I'm nothing. I can only choose to listen to them."
"You know you're nothing? Then how dare you, a nobody, steal what I risked my life to get back in exchange for your life?"
