Chapter 226: Inhuman (34) (1st update + 2nd update + 3500 thunder 3rd update) [VIP]

The next morning, when Bai Jinshu and the others went downstairs, the eight members of Shi Pang's team had already left.

"They said they wanted to start the ghost story while the crazy big devil in N Port is still awake," Xiao Tang said vaguely while eating breakfast, "What kind of big devil is this? He actually has a work schedule and doesn't go to work before 10 o'clock. He is too principled."

The newlyweds sat at a table at the edge of the teahouse. Perhaps because the horror show they were going to see this time, Monopoly, was not a life-threatening one, everyone looked relaxed.

"Does N Port also have a rule that people cannot wander around the streets at midnight?" Bai Jinshu picked up the fried dough sticks on the table, looked around, and took the soy milk handed over by the yellow-haired man next to him. "Otherwise, why didn't they go back last night... Why is breakfast so good today?"

Everyone's breakfast in the morning a few days ago was quite sloppy. The teahouse where they were staying temporarily did not open until noon, so the guys got up late in the morning and had to cook their own breakfast.

The guys had a quick breakfast, and those who were staying there just ate something casually. It was the first time they had seen such an exquisite breakfast.

On the table were not only traditional soy milk, fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, but also a few bags of pan-fried buns and steamed buns. It didn't look like the breakfast that the waiters in the teahouse would make, but more like something bought outside.

In fact, I bought it at a breakfast shop outside.

"I went to S City to buy breakfast and almost got into a weird story. Luckily, Brother Yuan was by my side and quickly pulled me out," Xiao Fei raised his hand and said actively, "Because I had never played games like Monopoly before, after getting up this morning, Brother Yuan and I asked around and went out to buy some teaching materials."

Xiao Fei has always had a clear idea of ​​his own position. He knows that he is not a smart man, nor does he have enough strength to protect himself. The only thing worth mentioning is that he has a big thigh. But Ersi and Xiao Tang are not related to him after all, so there is no need for them to take care of him, so Xiao Fei is naturally very attentive in other aspects.

He went out at dawn this morning to prepare for the upcoming ghost talk and brought back breakfast for everyone.

"Textbooks?" Everyone looked over. "What textbooks?"

Although everyone has been educated and is ready to move on to the next weird story, isn’t Monopoly just a game? What kind of teaching materials are needed?

Xiao Fei wiped his mouth and pointed to a pile of books on the table next to him: "That's it, prepared for the next Monopoly. Brother Yuan said that although it's a bit much, it's better to take it with you."

"What book do you want me to read?" Bai Jinshu picked up a book at random. "'One Hundred Classic Business Case Studies: Must-Take Courses for CEOs', 'Forbes' Top Ten List of Entrepreneurial Methods', 'How I Became the Richest Man in the World'... What is this?"

Xiaofei and his friends went out early in the morning just to find these things that have been lying in the bookstore unsold for decades?

"Textbooks!" Xiao Fei didn't notice the disdain in his brother's tone, and said as a matter of course, "Aren't we going to Monopoly? Isn't this... the experience of Monopoly players! It makes sense!!"

"CEO", "top ten on the Forbes list", "richest man in the world", if this is not tycoon, then what else can be considered tycoon?

Bai Jin said: "Although there is nothing wrong with saying this..."

But the memories left over from the brief thirty days he played Chao Yougan and his interactions with the second-generation rich in the real world told him that even for the tycoons in the real world, their actual work content was very different from what was in the books.

After all, Chao Yougan’s business war was full of bizarre colors. Based on this, it is hard to imagine how sick the ways other wealthy people conduct business wars must be.

Anyway, no matter what Monopoly is like, it shouldn’t be like this.

In an environment like the Novice Village where most people have never been exposed to any business wars and have not participated in company operations and decision-making, the competition within Monopoly probably has nothing to do with business.

Unless everyone who enters it is a 996 overtime worker who died suddenly in front of a computer in a high-rise office building, it is easy to imagine what this weird story will become.

Don’t other people think there’s something wrong with Xiao Fei’s idea…?

"Yeah, I think there's no problem with that too!" Xiao Tang nodded very actively, "Xiao Fei! There are too many words and I'm too lazy to read them. You can do the in-depth learning!"

Xiao Fei nodded vigorously: "Sister Xiao Tang, I'm working hard! I've already started reading the first book and I'm learning how to choose a location to build a hotel!"

"I used to work on tower cranes," said Lao Ma, with a simple and honest expression. "I have been on construction sites for decades. If they are short of tower crane workers after I get in, I can fill in!"

"There's still startup capital at the start of Monopoly!" Huangmao excitedly put down the soy milk in his hand, "How much money is that! It must be more than the money of the rich second generation in my class when I was in school! Oh my god... This is the first time I have so much money in my hand!"

"This money can't be used for anything else, it can only be used for business..." Xiao Fei hesitated.

"That's money too!" Huangmao's eyes lit up. "Let me see the number on the bank card! How many zeros are there?"

"Yes, yes," Lao Ma touched his head, "I have worked on construction sites for decades. Those big real estate bosses are all very rich. I never thought that one day I would become a big boss... What would it feel like..."

"Then I will read a few more books now!" Xiao Fei was suddenly full of motivation to study, "I will study hard!"

Bai Jinshu: Okay...

Not at all.

It seems that there are quite a lot of people who have inappropriate expectations for this strange story.

Bai Jinshu silently put away his chopsticks and looked at the newcomers at the table who were full of confidence, as if they were going to ring the bell at Nasdaq in the next second: "Do you think the focus of Monopoly is business?"

The excited Xiao Fei was stunned: "No, isn't it?"

"Of course not." Bai Jinshu was silent for a second, revealing a thoughtful expression, "Have you ever played Monopoly?"

"I haven't played it before," Xiao Tang crossed his legs, "but it sounds interesting! Ersi, you know, my dream since childhood was to be a landlady who carries a bunch of keys and goes out to collect rent every day! I never thought that this dream would not come true while I was alive, but it came true after I died!"

The remaining few people also spoke up.

Old Ma's face, which was in its forties, sounded particularly convincing when he said this: "I am... a migrant worker from the mountains. My family had no money when I was young, and after I got out, I only knew how to work to earn money. I have never come into contact with games like you young people. But I know about tower cranes. Brother Yuan said before that this game is about buying land, building houses, and collecting rent. I can build houses for you after I get in."

These words were spoken sincerely, and no matter what Bai Jinshu thought, the other people at the table showed somewhat complicated expressions.

Lao Ma really portrayed the character of a working people who came to the city to work vividly.

If Bai Jinshu didn't know that there was something wrong with him, he would have believed it based on his performance.

But compared to Lao Ma, Huang Mao's answer was more sincere: "No, I don't play this game. Brother Er, you know I'm just a non-mainstream youth who rides a motorcycle to the streets. Our circle doesn't look down on these board games! I will be laughed at by my brothers if I play this! I can't get along in the motorcycle circle!"

After a few days, I don’t know if they have become familiar with each other or Huang Mao has decided to stick to Xiao Tang, but this guy finally admitted that he is the Ghost Fire Boy...

Bai Jinshu's mouth twitched as he heard Xiao Tao and Li Zi, who had obtained the triggering conditions, whisper, "We played this game when we were kids, but we've forgotten the details and how to play it. I just remember it was similar to flying chess, with dice thrown and squares moved."

This sounds reasonable. It is normal to have almost forgotten the games you played as a child.

"...Me, me neither," Xiao Fei said last. He looked at the stack of books with some hesitation. "I usually watch live broadcasts and play on the computer, but I asked Brother Yuan, and Brother Yuan said that the name of this strange story is the Business All-Round Challenge, so the focus should be on business, right?"

Bai Jinshu was silent for a few seconds: "No, in fact, the key point may be omnipotence."

He glanced at Xiao Tang, who was eager to try, and said in a complicated tone, "Forget it, let's go in first."

Now we haven't seen any other triggers in the ghost story. After all, the whole region will benefit from winning Monopoly. If the teams from the other three regions, except for City S, unite and are determined to win first place, and organize a team composed entirely of Ivy League and Wall Street business elites, it is not impossible.

After all, it’s hard to find a three-legged person, but migrant workers in the financial sector who die suddenly are everywhere.

If he really turns Monopoly into The Storm Riders, he will have a backup plan.

Amid the others' excited conversation, everyone quickly left the teahouse and came outside the big locust tree.

Xiao Tao stood under the locust tree, opened her phone and replied to a message, then looked up and said, "Li Zi and I added the contact information of the person in charge yesterday. That person said that if we are sure to participate in the competition, we should send our location information before nine o'clock in the morning, and a special participant will drive a shuttle bus to pick us up."

It sounds like a regular competition.

During the ten minutes of waiting for the bus, everyone was in a strong learning atmosphere. Except for Bai Jinshu and Huai Jiamu, everyone had a book in their hands, as if they were planning to study business management one second and become a senior executive the next.

When the black business shuttle bus arrived under the locust tree, everyone finally turned their attention away from the tutorial.

I don't know whether Xiaotao reported the number of participants, or this strange story had automatically generated a list when they confirmed their participation. There were exactly ten seats in the business car, and the eight team members plus Yuan Shanming and Huai Jiamu could just sit down.

The driver was a man in a suit wearing black sunglasses.

Yuan Shanming took the initiative to sit in the co-pilot seat and let the newcomers who were confirmed to participate in the competition sit in the back.

As soon as everyone got on the car, they were shocked by this rather luxurious business car.

"Damn," Xiao Tang sighed in a low voice, "The water next to the seat is all Xyun mineral water. What kind of business challenge is this that's so rich?"

There is a bottle of Xyun mineral water next to each seat at the back of the business car, and everyone can see the bottle next to their seat as soon as they get on the car.

"What is that?" Xiao Fei picked it up and looked at it curiously. "What is this, Sister Xiao Tang?"

"Xyun's mineral water, haven't you seen it before?" Xiao Tang picked up a bottle and looked at it. "I think it was about twenty yuan a bottle."

"So expensive?" Old Ma's eyes widened in shock. "The water we usually buy is one dollar a bottle. Is there gold in this?"

"I don't know if it's gold or not, but it tastes like tap water to me, isn't it just plain water without any taste?" Xiao Tang put the bottle back with a grin, "I can't afford it, I can't afford it..."

Before she finished speaking, the man in the driver's seat spoke up, "The journey is long, and everything in the vehicle that picks up the contestants is free to use. No extra fees will be charged. There are also souvenirs given by the organizer next to the seats."

"Free?" Bai Jinshu picked up the bottle of mineral water next to him and said, "Then what is the registration fee for us contestants?"

Everything that is provided for free has a price, not to mention that this is the City of the Dead. How could someone provide them with these for no reason?

It is okay to buy Xyun mineral water for more than twenty yuan, but it is not necessary. Most of the time, it is not used for sale or drinking, but to express some kind of information implicitly.

What does this strange story mean?

"There is no registration fee." Hearing their questions, the driver's mouth curled up slightly.

"No registration fee?" Xiao Tang flicked the bottle and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Then this mineral water won't be poisonous, right?"

There are very few undead in S City who are kind to the triggerer. Why is this business challenge so good to them?

"Of course not." The driver's voice did not contain any surprise, as if he had explained this answer countless times. "The Business All-Round Challenge is a worldwide competition. Our staff does not belong to the City of the Dead, and our competition venue is not in the City of the Dead. Our position is neutral between humans and other creatures."

The subtext of what he said was, "Your S city is full of talented people and undead spirits, but it's not like that outside."

Yuan Shanming coughed lightly and explained awkwardly, "There are many undeads in S City who are hostile to newcomers. This is not a traditional human-friendly area, so you may have the subconscious impression that newcomers are very dangerous and hated by everyone in the Novice Village. But in fact, in the entire Novice Village, many natives have different positions. For example, the organizer of the Monopoly game is in the famous neutral area, and their relationship with the newcomers is not as tense as in S City."

Xiao Tang curled his lips and said, "So other areas won't have a ghost story every three steps and a dead spirit every five steps. After entering, everyone will be like family with the natives, and won't be scammed by low-level ghost stories?"

"Not really," Yuan Shanming thought for a moment, "Each area has a different style. You'll know later."

The driver was present, and he didn't say it too clearly, but everyone could hear Yuan Shanming's subtext -

You will find out when you go to other areas and grab S-level ghost stories.

"We'll talk about the future later, so you can drink this water as much as you want, right?" Xiao Tang leaned back, unscrewed the bottle of mineral water next to him, and opened a bag of snacks of an unknown brand, "Then I won't be polite."

Her actions were indeed rude.

She flipped down the small table next to each seat, unpacked the snacks she took out from the small storage space under the table one by one, and arranged them neatly on the table.

In addition to snacks, there are also tea bags, coffee bags, and sugar bags that look equally expensive. They are densely packed in a row, creating a huge visual impact.

"Sister Xiao Tang..." Everyone watched her nervously as she ate her first snack, "Is there any problem?"

"What's the problem?" Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows. "Since they say it's not poisonous, and these things are free to use, then just eat whatever you want."

"It's a waste if I don't eat it anyway," she took a sip of Xyun mineral water, smacked her lips and tasted it, "Tsk, it really tastes the same as tap water. Why does it cost more than twenty yuan?"

Xiao Tang's performance immediately made everyone feel relieved.

It was a bit strange that the organizer provided snacks and mineral water for everyone, but Xiao Tang didn't seem to have any reaction after eating them...

Xiao Fei followed suit and opened a small bag. He carefully tasted a bite, looked up and said sincerely, "Hmm... It tastes like a normal snack."

It doesn't taste like luxury goods, nor does it taste like rat poison.

Bai Jinshu casually took out a few small snack bags from the side. There were no trademarks on the packages, but it was obvious that they were not the snacks measured by weight in the supermarket. They were probably relatively expensive snacks.

In the small cabinet on the other side was what the driver called a "souvenir", a handbag that looked like it might be from some luxury brand.

Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows slightly at this configuration.

This challenge offers luxury goods and snacks, so what are these contestants doing there?

Led by Xiao Tang, the other people in the car were already half-believing and half-doubting and eager to try. From this choice, we can see the inclination of most people. People like Xiao Fei who are quite brave and believe in Xiao Tang have already started to open the snacks and mineral water and eat like her.

Those who were more cautious were like Nian Yu, and their fingers did not touch the water bottle at all from beginning to end.

Lao Ma also took a sip tentatively and made the same conclusion as Xiao Tang: "It's no different from other mineral water."

What surprised Bai Jinshu a little was that Huangmao didn't even touch these things.

Gifts often come with unknown costs. Bai Jinshu looked at the bag of snacks in his hand and put it back.

It’s not that he didn’t believe Xiao Tang’s judgment, but he felt that Xiao Tang made such a judgment because she had an unknown trump card.

The number of viewers in the live broadcast room has been increasing, and many of them come for Monopoly.

Bai Jinshu just glanced at it and saw a lot of comments:

[Is S City also one of the four major competition areas this year? 】

[S City is not a traditional competition area. Are all the contestants this time from the other three areas? ]

[No, the anchor and his team are a local team from City S.]

[Are they not contestants from other regions? ]

[Did the host's team discover an S-level ghost story in S City? ]

[No, it's just that the host wants to grab the weird stories from other areas. ]

These extra comments were all very lively and lively, and Bai Jinshu estimated that other people’s live broadcast rooms were almost the same.

The vehicle drove for a while and finally stopped in front of a building.

"This is the venue for the Business All-Round Challenge," the driver got out of the driver's seat and opened the rear door himself. "Just follow the instructions after entering."

"Aren't we still in S City?" Xiao Tang jumped out of the car and looked around. "I thought we had driven out of S City for so long and arrived at your neutral area. If we are still in S City, then are the contestants from the other three areas here to compete?"

“No,” the driver shook his head. “You’ll know when you get in.”

What a secret.

Yuan Shanming mostly led teams in S City, and had never led anyone to do the strange story of "Monopoly". As for information about it, he only knew the most widely circulated ones that everyone knew, and he couldn't explain anything about it.

A group of people got out of the car and walked into the building one after another.

The glass door behind me slammed shut.

Following the high-tech guide line in the hall, everyone finally came to a sign-in desk.

"You are the participants in the City of the Dead, right?" Behind the sign-in desk was a woman in business attire. She held a tablet in her hand and spoke in a businesslike voice, "Please confirm your participation information here, then enter your identity DNA and have it scanned in the room ahead."

"What kind of competition is this? We have to record DNA?" Xiao Fei was a little wary.

"Don't be nervous, sir. This is required by the competition," explained the staff at the sign-in counter. "Because the competition area spans four regions, all contestants need to enter their information to build a model and enter the competition area built by data in the holographic cabin to compete."

“If you have any questions about the schedule and format, you can withdraw at any time before confirming your participation.”

[The host agrees. This is how the game works.]

[I don’t understand what the anchor is worried about. ]

[How to gather contestants from four regions without holographic modeling? 】

"Er Ge..." Xiao Fei looked at the barrage and was a little shaken by what was said. He subconsciously looked at Bai Jinshu.

"Okay," Bai Jinshu nodded, "I accept."

He stood in front of the tablet, pressed his fingerprints and scanned the information, and was quickly confirmed to participate in the competition.

Since Bai Jinshu started this, other newcomers followed suit. After everyone finished entering their information, they were led by the staff into the scanning room.

There were only a few of them in such a big building.

"Is there no one else from the S City area coming to participate in this competition?" Bai Jinshu turned and looked at the staff.

"No," the staff member was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "There are only eight of you in the City of the Dead Division this time."

"What if we don't come?" Bai Jinshu asked, "Will the competition area be changed to another area?"

"No, if there is an area without any contestants, that area will automatically be deemed the loser," the staff member replied.

"What are the criteria for selecting areas? Randomly?"

"Yes, randomly."

"Has there ever been a situation in history where no one from an entire region participated in the competition?" Xiao Tang interrupted curiously.

"It has happened," the staff member replied good-temperedly, "but generally speaking, this doesn't happen."

"Why? If we don't come this time, won't there be no one here?" Xiao Fei was confused.

"Because if one area decides that all newcomers in that area will not participate, then other areas will send people," Bai Jinshu narrowed his eyes, "In this case, the original 1v3 will become 2v2."

The contestants who are sent to other regions actually hope that their native region will win. So they will use the resources of this non-participating region to give back to their native region, thereby increasing their chances of winning. This is easy to understand.

There will definitely be more than one region that will do this, and the final result will definitely be the appearance of three undercover agents in the region that is determined not to participate in the competition.

The situation will become extremely complicated.

"So it's actually good news that there are only nine of us in S City," Xiao Tang crossed his arms, "It's precisely because there are only nine of us here that there won't be spies."

However, their goal is not to win, so it doesn’t matter whether spies appear or not.

The staff member turned on the instrument in his hand and said, "Raise your hands. We are going to scan your whole body data."

The newcomers raised their hands as instructed, confirmed the competition agreement after the modeling was completed, and lay down in the holographic cabin before the official start.

The blue liquid submerged the tip of everyone's nose, but there was no difficulty in breathing. As the liquid level rose, finally, everyone was immersed in the liquid.

The brain waves of all contestants were connected to the same area, modeling data was imported, and everyone opened their eyes in an unfamiliar space.

"It feels no different from being outside," Xiao Tang swung his arms and legs and punched the air a few times, "If you hadn't told me that this is holographic and modeled, I wouldn't have noticed the difference."

The people around were also amazed.

The modeled bodies are exactly the same as their own bodies. Some people pinched themselves cruelly and found that even the pain was synchronized.

"This is too real," Xiao Fei covered his arm with a grin, "I've seen novels and anime where you can lower the pain, so can't this game lower it?"

"It seems there is no button," Xiao Tao said regretfully after searching around, "I feel that this modeling technology is designed to highly restore reality, and is created entirely for the purpose of gathering all contestants in one space."

This is the only explanation.

The modeling in this holographic space is no different from their own bodies. No adjustments can be made, and there is no room for manipulation. It looks like a simple copy.

[Hello, welcome to the 398th Business All-Around Challenge,] Suddenly, a voice came from the loudspeaker, [Third Division, City of the Dead, all participants have arrived.]

A large transparent sphere rose in the middle of the open space.

[Next, I will read out the rules of this all-around business challenge. ]

Nine tablets appeared next to the transparent sphere, and the current image on the tablets was a miniature city model.

The entire competition area was built in a rectangular area, and the area outside the rectangle was divided into several grids. Xiao Tao exclaimed as soon as she saw it: "Right, right, that's it. I remember playing like this when I was a kid, like flying chess, rolling the dice to determine the number of steps forward, and then buying land and building a house or something..."

[The competition area is the bright area in the miniature map.] With the sound, all the grids around the outer circle of the rectangle light up. [The four competition areas start from the four corners respectively, and the number of steps forward is determined by rolling the dice. Roll once every three hours, and each grid is a step. Every time you go around the city and return to the starting point, you will get an extra roll opportunity and 2,000 bound funds.]

A six-sided dice rose from the transparent sphere next to it.

At the same time, a table appears at the edge of the city miniature model.

【Current Funds: 10,000

Bind funds: 0

Current Houses: 0

Current level: 0

Current profit speed: 0/h

Current mortgaged land area: 0】

[When you roll the dice and arrive at an unsold piece of land, you can use your funds to buy and sell the land, and choose to build a hotel on the land or upgrade an existing hotel. The profit rate of hotels of different levels is different, and it increases with the level, with a maximum of five levels.] The grid on the map flashes with five colors. [When contestants from other regions pass through such land, they must pay tolls according to the level of the hotel.]

[There are three places in the area where you cannot buy land, namely the bank, hospital, and prison.] Three grids on the map light up. [In the case of insufficient funds, you can enter the bank and mortgage the purchased land at 50% of the price to obtain working capital. If the land is not redeemed after one round, it will automatically become unsold and the building will be automatically demolished.]

[And several purchasable plots of land with special benefits. These areas can choose to purchase the land or gain benefits, but not both. After being built as a hotel, contestants passing by the plot can choose to pay the toll, or pay double the toll to gain special benefits.] Several more grids light up, [The race is limited to 20 laps. After the 20 laps, the one with the most assets wins, or the last person who has not gone bankrupt before the 20 laps wins.]

[If you have no questions about the rules, please nod and enter the confirmation preparation state. ]

A confirmation button appears in front of the map.

"It sounds a bit complicated..." Lao Ma scratched his head.

"It's not complicated," Xiao Tang said in a relaxed tone, "The key to winning Monopoly sounds simple."

"Isn't it just about building houses and collecting rent to make a profit?" She tapped the map. "The more land you buy, the more tolls you can collect. The better the houses you upgrade, the more expensive the tolls you can collect. When all the houses in the world belong to you, then you will win without even fighting."

The rules of this game sounded simple and had little to do with business, so everyone nodded in understanding.

After understanding the rules and pressing the OK button, the four major competition areas were automatically assigned to the four corners of the map.

A line of big words also appeared in everyone's live broadcast room: [Play in a civilized manner, speak according to the rules, please do not mention other divisions' strategic plans and other content in this division's live broadcast room. Violators will be banned for 15 days as a punishment.]

This is also part of the rules of the game.

【The game starts now. 】

"So now... let's roll the dice?" Xiao Tang rubbed her hands together, glancing at the miniature map, then at the lush trees and streets outside the window. "After the numbers are rolled, do we need to move? We can't stay in this room forever, right?"

As if to verify her words, a business car quickly appeared at the door of the house.

The color of the transparent sphere suddenly turned light green.

Inside the light green sphere, the dice spun around and finally stopped at the number five.

On the map, the green starting area has moved five steps forward clockwise and landed on a blank purchasable land.

After a while, with a "ding" sound, the purchase of the land was confirmed, and a small house rose up on it.

The ball turned light red, the dice spun around, and landed on number one.

The red zone also purchased land and chose to build houses.

The next second, the ball turned light yellow.

[Third Division, please roll the forward number. ]

"Did I press it?" Xiao Tang turned around and everyone nodded.

The dice spun around and turned into the number three.

"Where is Kang Kang San... It's also a blank piece of land?" Xiao Fei leaned over to take a look. "In the first round, for the sake of safety, should we also buy a house?"

[After rolling the dice, please get on the car and move to the destination. ]

The broadcast sounded.

Everyone quickly got on the business car at the door.

"Hey... isn't this the one," Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this the car we took when we got here?"

The seats, the driver, and even the food and mineral water provided are the same.

No wonder the driver behaved like that.

After everyone got in the car, the vehicle drove through the streets and soon arrived at the land they purchased.

Unlike the miniature map, this place looks almost the same as a normal street outside, except that from here, the places where buildings should be next to the crosswalks are all empty and visible.

On the land in front of him, a hotel was being built rapidly. After a dozen seconds, a hotel that looked very narrow was completed.

A front desk and various staff suddenly appeared in the house, and customers from all over the place came into the hotel carrying their luggage.

Information update:

【Current Funding: 8,000

Bind funds: 0

Current House: 1

Current Level: 1

Current profit rate: 50/h

Current mortgaged land area: 0】

A pop-up window popped up on the tablet, and the dice in the light blue ball spun around and stopped at 2.

"Is this considered completed?"

We walked into the hotel with some curiosity, and heard the receptionist calling us "boss" all the time, which was very novel.

Is this business challenge that simple?

"What are we going to do in the three hours before the next dice roll?" Xiao Fei looked outside in confusion, then looked at the driver, "We're just going to wait here for the next round for three hours?"

The driver seemed to be a programmed AI, and answered in a straight line: "I don't know. My job is to drive and pick up the contestants."

"Then..." Lao Ma looked a little confused, "Then let's take a break? Or should we study?"

He was referring to the pile of books that Xiaofei bought.

But now it seems that these things are of no use.

In fact, no one really needs a break.

Suddenly, everyone was at a loss with three hours of free time. After staying in the hotel for more than an hour, they found that gathering in the narrow lobby of the hotel seemed to affect the flow of customers. The profit rate became 35/h. Everyone hurried out and stood in a daze on the empty street with only a hotel, waiting for the next round of dice.

Just then, a police car stopped quickly.

The aggressive police officers got out of the car and quickly sealed the door of the hotel with seals in hand.

The profit rate suddenly became 0/h.

"We received a call!" The leading police officer looked at them, "Your hotel is suspected of operating illegally. We need to temporarily seal it off for investigation."

At the same time, everyone saw a notice: [The hotel in the third competition area is closed. To cooperate with the investigation, you are prohibited from taking action for one round. ]

"I... c," Xiao Tang cursed, "Who reported it? Is this even possible?!"

"Sorry, in order to protect the privacy of the informant, we cannot provide this kind of information," the police officers sealed the door of the hotel and walked inside aggressively, leaving a group of people in a mess outside the hotel.

Xiao Tang cursed as he flipped through the map: "I want to report them. I want to report all three of them too!"

[Sorry, police resources are currently occupied. ]

"Shit," Xiao Tang rolled his eyes. "Who is it that's picking on us right away? What's the grudge?"

The newlyweds were in a mess because of the sudden incident, and Bai Jinshu watched the police enter the hotel, holding his chin in thought: "The thing I was most worried about has happened."

"Have you ever played Monopoly?" He turned to look at everyone, "Do you know the core gameplay of Monopoly?"

"Aren't we building a house?" Xiao Fei was confused.

"...No," Bai Jinshu was silent for a moment, revealing a very subtle expression, "Normal players will build houses, and everyone knows that the more houses you build, the greater the positive benefits you will get. So when everyone has the same starting conditions, buying land and building houses will not make a difference."

"Then what is the gap?" The yellow-haired man turned his head.

Bai Jin said: "Prison and hospital."

"Prohibiting the opponent from taking action is the most effective method in the early stages of the game," he watched the police walk away, "and now, we have a very rare opportunity."

"There's not enough police force," he said.

"What do you mean..." Before Xiao Fei understood, Xiao Tang suddenly shouted, "Er Si, you are so sinister!"

"Same here." Bai Jinshu shrugged. "Go ahead."

"What?" Li Zi looked at Ersi, then at Xiao Tang, and then at Xiao Fei who gave her a confused look.

"Since our competitors are going to build on the land, we should also prohibit them from doing so," Xiao Tang twitched his lips. "Since the police are now sealing off the hotel here, doesn't that mean that no matter what is happening now, the police can't be dispatched! And the three special areas... the prison, the bank, and... the hospital, they can't have been built in vain!"

She flexed her wrist and looked at the driver: "Well, you can take me anywhere, right?"

The driver nodded: "Yes, my job is to drive and pick up the contestants."

"Come on, whoever the little rooster points to is the winner," Xiao Tang pointed at the map for a long time, "It's you, Division 4!"

"Come on," Bai Jinshu nodded, "Try to get them all into the hospital and ban them from moving for one round."

"No problem," Xiao Tang sneered, and took down the handrail of the hotel door with his bare hands. He got on the business car with the iron rod in hand, "Just wait! The mall is like a battlefield!"

The car drove away at full speed, and everyone at the hotel entrance fell silent.

Although it is true that the shopping mall is like a battlefield, the person who said it would never have thought that in Monopoly, this "battlefield" is not just a figure of speech.

Looking at Xiao Tang who was riding so fast, everyone silently lit a candle for the players in the fourth division in their hearts.

Hope everyone is okay.

Ding Dong.

The announcement has been updated.

[A player from Division 4 is injured and is moved to the hospital for treatment. He is prohibited from moving for one round, and the next round of movement and transfer starts from the hospital area. ]

It seems...something has happened to someone.

The author has something to say:

At present, no team members have realized that the focus of the [Business All-Round Challenge] is not business or all-round, but challenge (covering mouth)
