Lin Fuxia slept all morning and was woken up by the alarm clock. He packed up and went out. After lunch, he took a leisurely stroll and went to the supermarket to buy some midnight snacks, filling his schoolbag. Then he went to class with an ice cream cone in his mouth.
Lin Fuxia originally studied finance, which she had no interest in at all. However, she enjoyed the feeling of attending classes in a university classroom, where the teacher was talking on the stage and a lot of people were sleeping below.
Taking a nap in the dormitory is not as sweet as sleeping at the desk, and using the computer while lying on the bed is not as interesting as using the computer while lying on the desk.
Spend your time openly and without pressure.
And if you do something serious in this situation, such as listening carefully or secretly doing something beneficial to your life or career, and look at the people around you who are letting themselves go, you will feel a sense of accomplishment.
Lin Fuxia is now doing something that makes him feel a sense of accomplishment.
She uses her optical computer to surf the Internet and understand the current world.
This era is more than a thousand years more advanced than her previous world. The two most popular industries are interstellar exploration and holographic gaming. The latter is actually equivalent to creating another world by oneself.
In short, people are dissatisfied with the real world they live in.
Serious environmental pollution, declining food production, unstable climate, and even a high incidence of genetic diseases...
Lin Fuxia had only been here for a few days and was still living in an ivory tower-like university town. He didn't have much feeling about it yet, but as soon as he went out, he would find that the living environment in this world was quite terrible.
And there are two major political entities on this planet.
On one side is his own empire, with a population of over 3 billion, a developed economy, advanced technology, and a prosperous and powerful country.
On the other side is an alliance formed by many small countries, with a total population of about 500 million. They are backward, chaotic, conservative, poor, and also host various stateless people, fugitives, etc.
If many people in the empire are dissatisfied with their current lives, then the small country alliance is almost struggling on the line of survival.
Lin Fuxia was watching when he suddenly heard two girls in the front row whispering and joking about something. He vaguely heard the words "New World".
She pricked up her ears.
"...Since they couldn't deceive anyone in our Empire, they tried to deceive the Alliance."
"Sure enough, this game desperately needs players to die."
Lin Fuxia was silent for a moment, and the familiar place entered the hot search list.
#Walter donates 30 million gaming helmets to the Alliance for free#
#Walt CEO appeared in the Union House of Representatives this morning#
#Wal's boss: The gaming helmet was forced to be removed from the Empire, so it's better to give it to the Alliance#
#League Chairman's Speech: 30 million helmets will be distributed to the public through lottery#
Clicking on the hot searches, you will see ridicule and doubts about New World and Wall, as well as calls for the people from the Small Country Alliance to run away.
Lin Fuxia was astonished. This game was quite tough. It seemed like if you didn’t cherish me, I would find someone else.
If I am not welcome here, there are other places that will welcome me.
As for whether the people in the Small Country Alliance will boycott the game?
Please, the Alliance has always been poor, and game companies have never considered it as a market, and they don't invest in games there. Holographic games have been on the market for decades, but more than 95% of people in the Alliance have never come into contact with holographic games.
Now that there are free helmets, and some publicity about being able to make money in the game, people in the Alliance will definitely rush to get them for the novelty and the money.
As for the idea that gaming is dangerous? For the Alliance, what job isn't dangerous? They're practically dying, so they grab at any lifeline.
…
Things turned out pretty much as Lin Fuxia had expected. Over in the Small Country Alliance, after a nearly open and transparent lottery, 30 million helmets were sold out. The Alliance announced that the helmets would be sent to the winners within three days.
Then the winners were eager to try. Some were worried that their helmets would be stolen by others, so they rushed to the government gate and sat there waiting.
"New World", which was severely boycotted in the Empire, was very popular in the Alliance. With these 30 million people entering the game, it was enough to change the entire atmosphere of the game.
An anonymous forum,
Anonymous A: It's over. With 30 million people from the alliance rushing into the game, our early advantage will soon be overtaken.
Anonymous B: Come on everyone, don’t waste your daily online time, do more tasks and kill more monsters.
Anonymous C: So many players quit the game yesterday, so I took a day off too... I'll jump right in and level up!
Yang Song watched the news and anxiously told his family, "The Alliance is about to have 30 million players arrive. Dad, Mom, uncle, aunt! Just listen to me and enter the game quickly. Get in before these 30 million people arrive and avoid the peak period!"
The Yang family members were still hesitant: "Is this game really not dangerous?"
"Believe me, it won't!"
Yang Song's family has a genetic disease, and his father's health collapsed early because of it. He himself fell ill early and with a vengeance, until he encountered "New World." He knew his own physical condition well, and during the week he played the game, he felt better day by day.
So no matter what others say, he firmly believes in this game.
"Everyone plays the game for a few hours every day to get used to it and get a feel for it. Everyone takes turns playing the game so it doesn't affect their daily lives. Then, they just focus on not dying in the game."
Yang Song advised earnestly.
Out of trust in Yang Song, the Yang family members looked at each other, and finally, those with the most serious illnesses resolutely put on helmets.
Let's give it a try. The doctor said they won't live long anyway.
And also blaze a trail for others.
Some people were laughing at the Alliance members jumping into the fire pit, while others wanted to enter the game before the new influx of new players to avoid the peak period. In this trend, Lin Fuxia also felt a sense of urgency.
That’s 30 million new players coming in waves!
Since the game was launched, are there 30 million registered players?
She held her forehead and thought for a while, then she leaned over and whispered to Jiang Xingyue, who was sitting next to her: "If I can't come to class next week, do I need to ask for leave?"
Jiang Xingyue was stunned for a moment, then looked at the teacher on the podium and whispered, "If you don't come to class for a whole week, of course you have to ask the counselor for leave, but why didn't you come? Is there something going on at home?"
Lin Fuxia hummed, thinking about how to write a leave request. Thinking about Jiang Xingyue helping him borrow the helmet, he said to her, "You can try playing the game "New World". Just be careful not to die in the game. There is no harm in playing it more."
Jiang Xingyue's eyes changed as she thought about her roommate's obsession with the game and her seemingly close relationship with the Chi family.
She lowered her voice even more: "Fuxia, do you have any inside information?"
Lin Fuxia said mysteriously, "No need for insider information. Think about it the other way around. With all the public opinion going on right now, if there really were problems with New World, would Waler still be able to operate? Would Waler's CEO still be able to make a public appearance at the Alliance?"
"If there's no problem, then why didn't Wall clarify? Why didn't anyone from the Empire come forward to endorse it?"
"I don't know." Lin Fuxia shrugged and spread her hands. The get out of class was over, and she picked up her schoolbag and said, "Let's go. Tell the other two in our dormitory what I said."
After saying that, she left in a hurry, returned to the rental house, put on her helmet and entered the game directly.
…
When I opened my eyes in the game, everything around me was still dark.
It's still dark in the game.
Not far from my ears, I could hear the old man and the carpenter snoring one after another.
Lin Fuxia glanced at his panel. His stamina and health points had returned to full value. It turned out that he could get the Rose Heart buff by staying idle.
I was, well, hungry. Physiologically, not the kind that affected my stamina.
After all, being idle is equivalent to sleeping for several hours in the game, so your body will naturally feel hungry.
But if you don’t eat in time, this hunger will inevitably reduce your physical strength and affect your actions.
Lin Fuxia did not move, but entered the game currency exchange platform.
The game currency has dropped to 0.79, but unlike yesterday, the trading volume on the exchange platform has increased and more people are active on the platform.
She guessed this was because new players were buying game coins on the platform.
After thinking for a moment, she decided not to wait any longer. She kept a portion of her savings as living expenses and invested the remaining 200,000 yuan into the exchange platform.
200,000 real currency, after deducting the handling fee, can also purchase about 240,000 copper coins.
No one has such a large sum of money.
Lin Fuxia bought it in small amounts, and the real currency decreased little by little, but the game coins in his wallet, which was more important for making money, increased more and more.
I bought it until dawn.
Lin Fuxia was dizzy from shopping. After completing the last transaction, she breathed a sigh of relief, lay down feeling quite tired, and almost fell asleep.
It was the movement of Village Chief Bai getting up that woke her up. She suppressed her sleepiness and sat up as well: "Village Chief, are you awake?"
"I'm awake." Village Chief Bai felt that this was the most comfortable sleep he had had in many years.
Then the old man and the carpenter woke up.
"Oh, it's already daybreak! I rarely sleep so soundly, old man."
"This bed is so comfortable! My old arms and legs don't seem so stiff anymore."
The four of them went downstairs together. Downstairs, the people sleeping on the floor on the first floor of the store also woke up one after another.
In the yard, a large pot of water was boiling, and people went to scoop it up and drink it one by one. Some people ate the hot water with dry black steamed buns, while some people could not even afford the black steamed buns and could only fill their stomachs with water.
Lin Fuxia saw this and went to find Ron, asking him to pay these people daily wages so that they would not be unable to afford even a bite to eat.
Ron calculated and said with a bit of a pain in his heart, "A day's wages will be about 120 coppers."
Lin Fuxia gave the money directly and even gave a little more: "The wages for the six of you will also be paid on the same day."
She is rich now, so this little salary is nothing.
Next, she would take Village Chief Bai and the other two to have breakfast.
"No, no, we brought bread." Village Chief Bai and the others refused to do anything and insisted on eating bread with boiled water, saying that it was already expensive enough to have Lin Fuxia treat them to dinner yesterday.
Because they were away from home, the bread they prepared was no longer hard black bread, but the bread was still earthy yellow with rough wheat bran, which looked very irritating to the throat.
But it was much better than the hard, sour-smelling black bread that other people ate.
Lin Fuxia had no choice but to give up. She thought of something and asked Village Chief Bai if she wanted to buy something to take back to the village.
"I won't spend the money in vain. Just consider it as an advance payment for the village's future dividends." Lin Fuxia said before Village Chief Bai refused.
Village chief Bai thought for a moment and said that the village needed to purchase some daily necessities, such as cloth, needles and thread, salt, sugar, and some simple medicines. It would be better to buy some dried meat. Also, the village was short of agricultural tools.
Nothing else is needed, the village is almost self-sufficient.
Lin Fuxia took note, but she didn't know where to buy these things, so Luo En volunteered: "I know where to buy cheap and good things."
So, under the guidance of this local, Village Chief Bai bought all these things and filled half of the donkey cart with them.
In addition, Lin Fuxia also gave Village Chief Bai 50,000 copper coins, equivalent to 500 gold, to maintain the operation of the pharmaceutical factory.
Lin Fuxia was worried about the three of them going back with so many things, so he found two relatively strong men in the pharmacy.
These two people are in the pharmacy, and their jobs are to guard the house and do some heavy work. Both of them have patients at home and need to get some help in the pharmacy.
Lin Fuxia asked the two of them to accompany Village Chief Bai and his men to Baishan Village.
"One gold coin per person for a round trip."
In the city of Andif, even a strong laborer could only earn 20 to 30 copper coins a day. Lin Fuxia's salary was several times higher, and the round trip did not take a whole day. The two agreed without hesitation.
After seeing off Village Chief Bai and his entourage, Lin Fuxia hurried to the breakfast shop and bought a meat bun for three copper coins. However, the bun dough was hard and the meat texture was weird. She pinched her nose and ate it, finally driving away the hunger in her stomach.
Suddenly, she felt something in her heart and opened the "Compassionate Heart" task panel.
