"Unfortunately, it was just a little bit short."
Xiao Linlin shrugged her little shoulders and replied with some regret, "If my brother were even a little bit poorer than he is now, I would agree to her request."
"I have to admit, she's really generous. The returns are amazing; she gave us a whopping 40% of the membership fees!"
“I have calculated that, given the current size and influence of the Self-Help Association, even if membership fees are not mandatory, we can get at least one billion resource coins from the membership fees every month, and it may be more than that.”
Xiao Linlin was genuinely sighing and expressing regret.
A billion!
Do nothing and you'll make at least a billion every month!
Moreover, given the current momentum of the self-help group, this revenue will continue to grow at an extremely alarming rate.
It's such a pity, such a real pity. My brother won't agree to this. He doesn't really need resource coins anymore.
Moreover, the older brother would absolutely not allow himself to be firmly bound to the self-rescue association's escape force. This was Xu Zhiyi's attempt to hold him hostage, a calculated move.
"It is indeed a considerable fortune."
Su Lin smiled and said calmly, "Now that I think about it, she was indeed on the path to her planned future."
Su Lin was referring to the first time she met Xu Zhiyi.
The woman had told him herself that she would become the richest woman in the entire system.
Looking back at this statement now, it is by no means a joke, but an accurate prediction of the future, or rather, an absolute ability to execute future plans.
As long as the self-help group is large enough, her wealth will be enormous. Even if she no longer participates in any escape games, she can quickly become the richest woman.
"Is your brother under pressure?"
Xiao Linlin patted Su Lin's waist, her tone mature: "Young man, are you feeling the pressure? After the next match, her total assets might surpass yours!"
"Let her surpass it, it doesn't matter."
Su Lin smiled and looked down at the little girl: "We're not on the same path, there's no need to compete."
The amount of assets one possesses is ultimately not one's own; it is bestowed upon one by the system.
Just like a player who loves a certain game, no matter how many skins, assets, and in-game currency they accumulate... all their efforts are wiped out with just a slight touch from the game's official backend.
Are you not convinced?
Can you take down a game company?
In reality, game companies may have ways to maintain balance, but within the game's mechanics, survivors are in a worse situation and have less chance of resistance than game players.
"This is so boring."
Xiao Linlin pouted: "I feel like nothing makes you feel threatened anymore, it's not fun at all."
"A sense of crisis?"
Su Lin's smile gradually faded, and she remained silent for a moment before giving a silent laugh.
A sense of crisis lingered in Su Lin's mind and never dissipated.
Time passed slowly as the two talked, and soon a notification appeared in front of all the survivors in the waiting area.
[Attention all escapees in the area!]
[This month's promotion event is now open! Please enter a new match within 10 minutes!]
[Everyone's next match is now fixed as a "Promotion Match" for the current period!]
[Failure to enter within the time limit will be considered a failure to advance!]
The basic rules for promotion are the same as those for initial promotion, but they do not affect the independent game rules within promotion matches.
As the information prompt appeared, a dark game passageway emerged in each survivor's dormitory.
"This time, there was no extra 24-hour waiting time."
Su Lin raised an eyebrow: "The pace of the second promotion is even more severe and oppressive."
"Of course, after all, the first time of everything can be seen as being a novice, but those who have been through it don't need to be treated with leniency anymore."
Xiao Linlin arrived at the cultivation room and pressed the button to summon her followers.
Before long, the attendants quickly gathered and came out of the room.
Xiao Linlin had taken care of all the preparations before the match, and all everyone had to do now was follow Su Lin into the passage.
"Is this the gateway to a new world?"
Li Xingtian curiously examined the passageway, while Jia Zhengyi explained from the side, "Grandpa, this is a promotion match, mainly a competition among the survivors, so it's a bit different from a normal match."
"What's the difference? It's all the same thing—killing people."
Li Xingtian snorted coldly, not caring at all.
Jia Zhengyi pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "That's true. Grandpa, please take care of me then, I'm not as strong as you."
The two of them had a pretty good relationship, and Li Xingtian generously agreed: "With me here, you just need to do some work like collecting corpses."
"Ah, this is also a difficult task."
"That's easy, I'll just grind him to dust."
"He really is my grandfather, so domineering!"
Jia Zhengyi praised him without reservation, which made Li Xingtian stroke his beard and smile with satisfaction.
Xiao Linlin watched them with a smile, while also noticing the passage of time and Su Lin's calm expression.
"Hey, brother, something's not right with you."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you have any expectations?"
Xiao Linlin winked, and Su Lin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right, I'm looking forward to it."
I've been looking forward to this day, to prove myself in the new promotion match.
This is my first time within the system.
For the first time, it was out of control.
