Chapter 119 A New Beginning



Su Han returned to the white fog.

This time, the transparent panel did not appear, but the system mechanical sound sounded, "Congratulations on winning the first place in the survival competition. Please log in to the official forum for details."

Then the player exits the game and the game cabin slowly opens.

Su Han climbed onto the bed without saying anything. He closed his eyes and knew nothing the next second.

After twelve consecutive days of participating in the survival game, my nerves were tense and I had very little chance to relax. My body and mind were very tired. At this moment, the accumulated fatigue broke out, so I instantly fell into a deep sleep.

After sleeping for nearly sixteen hours, Su Han slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, it was already early morning and her stomach was growling with hunger. She had no choice but to get up and get something to eat.

After eating a pack of instant noodles and drinking a cup of oatmeal, Su Han finally felt better.

Sitting on the sofa and thinking back to the final battle, she sighed. If she had recovered her spirits before playing the primitive forest dungeon, she should have done better. However, the reality was that she had really consumed a lot of energy after going through the eleven survival dungeons. She might not feel it at ordinary times, but when she needed to stay highly tense all the time, the side effects would appear - her thinking and reaction speed was often a beat slower than usual. Therefore, in the later stages of the game, she often felt that she was not up to the task and even made some mistakes that she shouldn't have made.

Fortunately, her ability was far superior to others, so even though she made some minor mistakes, she still won the first place.

"It seems that until the end, Zhong Rui did not choose to betray." For some reason, this made Su Han happier than winning first place in the competition.

She coughed lightly, calmed herself down, opened the survival game forum and started browsing.

The pinned post content has been updated.

The first post reads, "The first 10,000 players will receive their prizes as shown below."

Su Han opened the post and found that the main post said, "Survivors ranked 1000-10000 will receive a reward of 10,000 yuan, survivors ranked 100-1000 will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan, and the top 100 will receive a reward of 1 million yuan.

The first 10,000 players please bring your ID card and go to the xx store on xxx street to claim your cash reward between October 12 and November 1. No one will be accepted after that date."

They actually gave money! Su Han was amazed at the Jinjiang Group's wealth and generosity.

After noting down how to claim the prize, she closed the post and continued checking.

The second pinned post reads, "Jinjiang Group sincerely invites senior players to join and try out the newly developed game. A total of 20 people are recruited with generous benefits. The top 100 players in the survival competition are welcome to submit their resumes. The contact address is attached below."

They actually hired senior players as testers with high salaries! Su Han never expected that Jinjiang Group had this trick up its sleeve.

A third post read, "During the competition, many players performed well and responded to the disaster in a very clever way. The staff is currently editing the video, which will be broadcast on Jinjiang Live, a website under Jinjiang Group, in three days. Please stay tuned."

Su Han finally realized that the official first Endless Survival Competition was indeed for promotion. A series of subsequent preparations had been completed long ago, and they could start the promotion as soon as the competition was over.

She thought to herself that being a tester seemed like a good idea. She could play games and earn money to support herself. So she secretly submitted her resume, hoping to be selected.

I continued to browse the posts, but unfortunately most of them were discussion posts, discussing how the remaining 10,000 people would pass the final battle dungeon, who would be selected as a test player, who the top ten in the competition were, and whether I would be lucky enough to meet them in the dungeon. After browsing for a long time, no one came out to talk about their own final battle experience.

Su Han guessed that everyone was very tired and probably still sleeping soundly. The few who were awake occasionally were not necessarily the ones who were willing to share their experiences, so no one came out to post.

Shaking her head, she closed the forum, picked up a random movie to watch, and waited quietly for dawn.

The sky finally brightened up, Su Han took all his documents, went out to buy breakfast, and then went straight to the xx store on xxx Street to claim the prize. As for the prize money, it was better to put it in his own pocket to feel at ease.

After verifying the information, the one million cash prize was quickly deposited into the bank card.

Su Han held the bank card in her hand, feeling a little dizzy. What does one million mean? She could buy a small two-bedroom apartment with some extra money for renovation! She only played the game for twelve days, and she made so much money!

"The three-day vacation is totally worth it." Su Han sighed.

But at present, she only had a little money, and her family was still not rich, so she couldn't spend it easily. So after the holiday, she went back to work.

**

On October 16, the edited video was released on the Jinjiang Live website.

At the same time, the top 50 players in the competition were specially listed, and their videos were edited into 30-40 minute films and made into albums, neatly arranged together.

So curious players flocked to the Jinjiang live website, very curious about how the boss cleared the level. But soon they found that the first four copies of the video can be watched for free, but the next eight copies are all paid to watch. Each video needs to pay one yuan. Or the audience can buy a monthly subscription service, during which they can watch videos on the website at will.

Players are so curious that many of them pay monthly subscription fees, vowing to watch the big guys pass the level.

Among them, the videos of Su Han and Zhong Rui, who tied for first place, sold the best. Everyone thought that since these two were first, they must be very strong. If we want to watch, then of course we should watch the top level in the game!

On the other hand, the top 20 players in the competition actually have hidden benefits. The official took the initiative to put the videos of these 20 people on the homepage and highlighted them. Many viewers clicked in to watch and were attracted to them. They sent gifts crazily, and they seemed to have become die-hard fans, with their minds full of crazy cheers for their idols!

Su Han also bought a monthly subscription when she was free. The first thing she watched was the video of her final battle. But after watching it for a while, she was speechless. I don’t know where Jinjiang Group found this talent, who is particularly good at editing! All the parts where she was tired and made mistakes were cut out, leaving only some heroic and courageous clips. Even the last time she left the game, it didn’t seem like she was forced to do so, but it seemed like she was bored after playing for too long, so she left the game on her own initiative...

In the barrage, a bunch of fans were screaming and expressing their love.

"What a great young lady, I want to marry her."

"I've met this girl before when playing games! She's awesome! She and her partner can hold the whole place together!"

"Oh my god! Elephants, swamp miasma, poison dart frogs, exploding trees, wild wolves, black bears, electric eels, poisonous ants, king cobras, jackals, man-eating pomfret, giant spiders, caimans, anacondas... any one of them would have killed me, but this girl managed to last 26 days in there. It's amazing. I worship you."

"Please accept my knees. By the way, is there any leg accessory that I need? The kind that has been to college and can warm the bed."

"Ah!!! Why did you leave early? Can't you just continue playing inside?! The video is too short, I'm not satisfied at all, I want to continue watching for three hours, resentful."

"I was playing a survival game, and my sister was playing a business simulation game. I was laughing and crying. Why is there such a big gap between people?"

"Is it amazing? It's just average."

"Is it my illusion? When I entered the dungeon, I could only survive with great difficulty. I felt that it was not easy to survive until the 10th day. But now watching the video, I feel that it is very easy to pass the level."

"To go back to the above, it's not an illusion. Facts have proven that people are different. You may find it easy after watching the video and think you can do it, but in fact it is impossible under normal circumstances. When it comes to you, you will find yourself in a situation where you can't think of a solution or don't know what to do, or you can think of a solution but don't have enough strength to do it, or you can't suppress other players, or you are being tricked."

"Isn't it just luck that I have a good teammate? If I also had a treasure box teammate, I could also get first place."

"Studies show that most people think their intelligence is above average, but that's impossible. So normally, humans can't accurately assess their own abilities and will unconsciously overestimate them. In my opinion, the young lady's skills are amazing."

"Most people's style of painting is normal, and only a very few people are daydreaming in broad daylight. Can you have a treasure box teammate just because you want one? If you don't have similar strength, why would they want to be your teammate?!"

"Anyone who says that the young lady's ability is average is probably blind. I won't accept any explanation other than that."

"I watched all the albums of the top 20 players, and I still think that Su Han and Zhong Rui's videos are the most exciting. However, these two have always been a team, and although they are called duo albums, the content of their videos is actually similar."

"There are still so many supplies left! Jealousy is tearing me apart."

“I love watching young ladies show off their power! It turns out that female gamers can be powerful without having to curry favor with others!”

"No, not enough! I beg for more game videos."

"The more I watch, the more I feel like there's an affair between the young lady and Zhong Rui! Tell me, it's an illusion."

"The person upstairs is not just one person. I think they are a couple, so they have such good chemistry and will never betray each other."

"Why do I feel like they are a young couple? Are they secretly married?"

"Laughing and crying, this isn't the entertainment industry, why would I see the words 'secret marriage'?"

The building gradually tilted at the back.

If it were in the past, Su Han would have solemnly stated that the netizens were overthinking. But now that they were leaving the dungeon together, she felt that she couldn't speak so confidently.

I don't know what Zhong Rui is doing now? The game is over, can they still keep in touch? Su Han is quite tangled.

But before she could figure it out, something happened to Jinjiang Group - Chen Hang, the 20th-ranked player, sued Jinjiang Live, demanding huge compensation for uploading edited game videos without his permission.

Su Han didn't care, so he didn't think much of it when he saw the video. But it turned out that some players did mind.

Everyone was excited to watch the show, thinking they would see a fierce battle, but Jinjiang Group threw out several documents in succession, proving that it had been explained when participating in the competition that players' game videos might be edited later and broadcast on Jinjiang Live, and the income would be split in half. Chen Hang's signature was clearly on the document, proving that he agreed to it.

So the war of words ended before it even began, and Chen Hang didn't get a penny of compensation. The next day, the website's homepage suddenly promoted a player ranked 21st, and Chen Hang was replaced.

The official statement was that since the players minded, the game company respected the players' wishes. Not only did they cancel the promotion, but they also deleted all the video content in Chen Hang's album.

Really very considerate.

Su Han originally thought that the matter was over, but who knew that more than half a month later, she received a huge sum of money called "Jinjiang Live Broadcast Share", the amount was as much as five million!

She was stunned for a moment, and almost thought that the finance department of Jinjiang Group had made a mistake in making the payment. She subconsciously called to inquire, but the other party said in an extremely affirmative tone, "Are you Miss Su Han? The profit sharing is correct. There are also some monthly subscription users whose amounts are difficult to calculate, and they will be settled at the beginning of next month and deposited into your account."

Su Han was completely stunned. Five million, just given to her for nothing?

The other party paused and continued, "Your clearance video has aroused enthusiastic response among players and has been widely praised. The company has received your resume in its email box. If you are willing, you can come to work at Jinjiang Company at any time."

In just one month, he earned more money than he could earn in his entire life. So what was there to hesitate about? Su Han answered decisively, "I'll go."

After making an appointment with Jinjiang staff to meet in two days, Su Han immediately quit his job and went home to rest.

The old employer tried to retain the employee, but the employee had already made up his mind to leave, so he had no choice but to let him go.

The waiting time always seemed extraordinarily long. Su Han was bored, so he turned on Jinjiang Live to watch other players' final battle videos.

The third-ranked player is a lone ranger. From the moment he entered the dungeon, he faced everything calmly and steadily like a seasoned hunter. He fought crocodiles in the swamp, hunted black bears, fought with wild wolves for food, risked his life digging for honey, and collected dew from leaves to quench his thirst... He showed a completely different kind of jungle life. If it weren't for the giant spider that fell from the sky when people were not prepared, he might have lived longer.

The fourth-ranked player was also quite fierce. As soon as he entered the dungeon, he found a water source and stayed there. When he was thirsty, he drank the stream water, and when he was hungry, he roasted the animals that came to drink water. He even had a unique skill of catching piranhas with his hands! When he was extremely hungry, he simply caught the piranhas and roasted them. Unfortunately, there were too many ferocious beasts by the river, and he was finally attacked by a group of poison dart frogs and was eliminated.

The fifth-ranked player has two professions, one for daily necessities and the other for medicine. His most important task every day is hunting. After eating, he finds a place to hide and waits quietly for time to pass. He was doing well at first, but once when he went out hunting, just after killing the prey, a group of jackals pounced on him from behind. He was outnumbered and eventually eliminated.

Su Han browsed through the game videos of the top 20 players one by one, and was surprised to find that most of them were not eliminated because they ran out of supplies, but because they encountered sneak attacks and did not have time to respond. In other words, these people had done sufficient preparation in advance.

"If I enter the dungeon alone, or if others have found reliable teammates, the result is hard to say." Su Han muttered to himself.

That evening, I received a reply to the email address to which I had sent my resume. I arranged a time and place and prepared to go through the formalities for an interview.

On the appointed day, Su Han went out to the Jinjiang Group office building in advance. Unexpectedly, she sat in the lobby and the first person she saw was Zhong Rui. He was just wearing casual clothes, not even matching clothes, but he was born with a hanger on his clothes. When he stood next to him, he was very eye-catching.

Su Han sighed inwardly, whether in the game or in reality, he was always so eye-catching.

Zhong Rui caught a glimpse of a familiar figure and could not help but walk over quickly, complaining in a low voice, "We are in a relationship of life and death, why didn't you contact me after the game?" In fact, rather than living and dying together, he wanted to say that he had died for love. However, considering that it would scare Su Han, he changed his words.

Su Han honestly admitted, "I want to contact you, but I'm afraid to disturb your life." After all, they are just online friends. According to the actual date, they have only been together for about ten days.

Zhong Rui curled his lips and said seriously, "Don't bother me, feel free to contact me."

"Okay." Su Han agreed without hesitation. But after thinking about it again, he felt something was wrong, "Then why didn't you contact me?"

Zhong Rui held it in for a long time before coming up with a similar answer, "I want to get in touch, but I'm afraid of being rejected."

"It's okay, I don't dislike you." Su Han chuckled.

"Yeah." Zhong Rui responded, his brows softening.

"You two are the couple Su Han and Zhong Rui who tied for first place, right?" Li Yue appeared at the right time and said neatly, "Follow me."

"Ah? We are not a couple." At least not yet. Su Han added silently in his heart.

Li Yue said nonchalantly, "We'll soon be colleagues, there's no need to hide it. According to the plan, the top ten game players will be invited by Jinjiang Group to come and serve as testers. When Zhong Rui was invited, he was going to refuse, but when he heard you were coming, he agreed immediately. If not boyfriend and girlfriend, what is this?"

There was a gleam of wisdom in Li Yue's eyes, as if to say "Don't try to fool me".

Hearing this, Su Han was completely stunned.

Zhong Rui had a blank expression on his face. He really wanted to drag this unreliable guy in front of him into the game and torture, kill, and ravage him a hundred times!!

"Come and sign the contract. After signing, you will be employees of Jinjiang Group. Every day, work from 9 to 5, two days off on weekends, monthly salary of 20,000, and year-end bonus starting from 300,000, with no upper limit. In addition, all the benefits required by the federal government are provided, so just feel free to start working here!" Li Yue said in a tempting tone.

Su Han decisively signed his name on the contract and thought to himself that a new life began from now on.

The author has something to say: Q: What is new?

Su Han (seriously): Now that I have money and a man, I can spend my time with other people as I please.

Zhong Rui (agreeing): I think your plan is great. It would be even better if you could go out with a man.
