In the evening, Jin Shi sat in an abandoned warehouse, looking anxious and filled with regret.
The game started off well, with 1,500 shells and a portable storage. As long as you behave yourself, you will definitely be able to survive until the end.
It's his fault for thinking too much - will he continue to use this identity in future trials? Should he stock up on supplies while the dungeons are simple, just in case? He is a member of the group after joining the company, how can he sneak around? His performance is too mediocre!
After pondering for a long time, he suddenly had a "good idea" - use credit cards to borrow money, stock up on goods, and then find a place to hide.
Jin Shi thought that after borrowing money from a credit card, someone would come to collect the debt. As long as he was careful and not discovered, the money would be earned for free!
It’s a pity that the plan was very good, but the system didn’t follow the routine at all.
At 9:00 a.m. on the sixth day of the game, Jinshi received a system notification, "The player currently owes 6,000 Bei credit card debt. Please pay back 400 Bei before 12:00 noon today. If you fail to do so, you will be incurring negative status."
Obviously, daily repayment amount = debt ÷ number of days remaining in the game.
Jin Shi was quite surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. He felt that he had enough supplies and could handle the negative situation calmly.
Unexpectedly, at 12 noon, the system's mechanical voice sounded, "The repayment due today is 400, and the actual repayment is 0."
"The player has triggered the negative state of 'either pay back the money or pay back your life'."
"Physical strength decreases by 1 every two minutes, and lasts for 24 hours. (Note: Pay off the debt due today, and the negative status will disappear immediately.)"
Jin Shi, "!!!"
The physical value decreases by 1 every two minutes, which means it decreases by 30 in one hour. His attribute cap is only 200, how can so much physical value be deducted? !
What's even more frightening is that 20 shells can buy a recovery drug that increases your physical strength by 20. But today, the repayment due is only 400, but a total of 720 physical strength will be deducted within 24 hours!
Only then did Jin Shi realize that credit card debt is not so easy to pay off.
**
By the time they realize it, most people are already overburdened with debt. Some of them have savings and are in a slightly better situation. Those without savings are anxious and angry, trying every possible way to repay the debt.
In this situation, many people will subtract from their lives and cut out all unnecessary expenses.
I used to like going shopping and eating out after get off work, but now that finances are tight, I can only go home and eat instant noodles.
Originally, I had bread and milk for breakfast every day, which was nutritious and rich. Now I have white porridge with pickled mustard tubers, which is enough to fill me up.
I used to buy endless sets of skin care products, but now I only use the most basic lotions, lotions and creams, and I feel painful when I occasionally buy a lipstick.
I used to go out for a walk or shopping after dinner, but now I’m worried that I’ll spend money if I go out, so I stay at home and watch TV all day.
…
When all the indebted residents did this, the environment changed immediately. It seemed that overnight, everyone became less interested in shopping. It was harder than climbing a mountain to get residents to take money out of their pockets to buy goods.
On the 7th day of the game, Su Han got a silver bracelet and a silver ring, and he was very happy.
However, except for her, everyone else looked unhappy.
The other three employees were worried about being in debt and sighed from time to time.
There were few customers in the store, and the bread in the cupboard could not be sold. Boss Zhang was so anxious that he frowned and wanted to force people to buy from him.
Su Han works when he has work to do, and rests when he has nothing to do, quietly waiting for the end of get off work.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, there was still a lot of bread left, more than ever before.
Boss Zhang frowned and said in a deep voice, "You guys go first. I'll stay for a while."
After saying that, he took out a sign that read "Special sale for a limited time, 40% off all items", and he actually planned to extend the business hours.
It’s no wonder that as soon as the billboard was put up, some customers actually started coming to the store, intending to take advantage of the bargains.
It seems that the remaining bread will not be available. Su Han shook his head regretfully and left.
"Dinner is gone, and there's no breakfast for tomorrow either. We have to spend money again." The two old employees sighed and then left work.
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and thought, she still owes debts, she must not lose her job at this time! However, among the four employees, she has the least qualifications and the least experience. What if the boss thinks that the store business is not good and does not need so many people, and fires her first?
Gritting her teeth, Xiaoxiao took the initiative to go back to the store and help greet customers.
Boss Zhang was startled and asked subconsciously, "Why are you back?"
Xiaoxiao smiled and said crisply, "I thought there's nothing to do if I go back, so why not stay and help."
Boss Zhang was very pleased. He thought, this is the kind of employee I should look for. One who doesn't care about personal gains and losses and treats the company as his home!
At 8:30 in the evening, the bread in the store was sold quite a bit, at least the cost was recovered.
Boss Zhang said casually, "Let's stop here today. You can take the remaining bread back."
"Thank you, boss." Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile. But in her heart, she was thinking, if she had known that the economy would become bad, she would not have bought so many things and saved herself from debt. After a tiring day, she continued to work overtime, which was not a good feeling. She felt particularly tired.
After all, the reason why she was willing to "voluntarily" work overtime was that she didn't want to lose her job.
**
In the evening, Su Han returned to the park empty-handed.
Zhong Rui raised his eyebrows, "The store business is not good, so they fired you?"
"No, business is not good, so I decided to keep the bread and continue to sell it." Su Han rubbed his stomach and made an invitation, "Want to go for a barbecue? I'll treat you."
"Other people are trying hard to cut back on spending, but as for you, the worse the economy gets, the harder you spend." Zhong Rui glanced sideways.
"I got two pieces of silver jewelry today and sold them for 81 shells, which is equivalent to getting two salaries." Su Han was in a good mood. "Let's go out for a meal to celebrate. I've been in the dungeon for several days, eating bread every day, and I'm almost tired of it."
"Let's go."
As soon as Zhong Rui stood up, Su Han naturally took his hand and led him away.
In an instant, Zhong Rui's expression softened.
He was willing to change his mind for Su Han and switch to Jinjiang Group as a tester.
Su Han, who loves single-player games, is actually willing to take the initiative to hold his hand.
In fact, the answer is already obvious.
Zhong Rui reversed his grip, wrapped Su Han's hand around his, and let her lead the way.

Day 8 of the game.
Early in the morning, Jinshi went to the construction site to carry sacks with great difficulty.
He never expected that because of his carelessness for a moment, he would almost be killed in the copy!
He definitely wouldn't be able to make it through the game if he kept hiding and taking drugs, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out to find a job, hoping to earn some money to repay his loan.
But it was so hard to find a job. Some shops had job opening notices posted on their windows, but when I went in, I saw that they wanted to cut staff and wages to reduce costs. After going around in circles, I could only find a job doing hard labor at a construction site.
Although the work was hard and his satiety and cleanliness were decreasing rapidly, he didn't care as long as he could make money. He was always burdened with the negative status of "either pay back the money or your life", and he was doomed to die.
Jin Shi wanted to curse the system for being shameless, but then he thought that he had gotten to this point because of his own brain injury. So he could only sigh deeply and continue working.
**
The bakery's business is getting worse day by day.
Because the bread they made couldn't be sold, the employees couldn't make more and could only find a place to rest.
Su Han guessed that the boss might want to lay off some employees.
The facts are before us. The bakery business is not good at all. They make too many breads and cannot sell them, and the shop does not need so many staff at all.
The only question is, who will be the unlucky guy to be operated on first?
Su Han looked at himself, then at Xiaoxiao, and felt that the candidate would be chosen between the two of them.
At 5 p.m., Boss Zhang gathered four employees together and said seriously, "I have a few things to announce next."
Everyone looked down at their toes and refused to make eye contact.
Boss Zhang said in a sad tone, "You have seen the current situation in the store. Business is very bad. It is rare for customers to come to shop."
"In order to keep the store running, I decided to reduce staff and lay off one employee."
"If any of you have another way out, please tell me so that we can part ways in peace."
For a moment, the air became extremely quiet and no one spoke.
Boss Zhang was a little helpless. "If no one speaks up, I'll name someone. Zhang Jing, I'm sorry, you're fired."
All four of them were stunned.
The other three turned their heads and looked at the person who won the lottery.
Zhang Jing was unexpectedly called out, and was so flustered that she couldn't even speak coherently, "Not... Boss, why... why me?"
She was a long-time employee in the store, very experienced, careful, and had never made a mistake, so there was absolutely no reason to fire her. In her opinion, the unlucky ones should be the two newcomers.
"Sorry, but you have to find another job." Boss Zhang politely asked the person to leave.
Zhang Jing walked away in a daze.
Boss Zhang continued, "In addition, starting today, everyone's daily salary will be reduced by 10 Bei, and the evening business hours will be extended to 8:30. If anyone feels that this is unacceptable, you can leave together."
All three of them were silent. Although the pay cut was unpleasant and the extended working hours were also unsatisfactory, they were burdened with debt and could not easily change jobs. Moreover, the economy was in a downturn, and if they could not find the next job after leaving, what would they do? !
Su Han thought that the conditions were barely acceptable, so he would stay as long as he could. After all, he had too little cash on hand and needed to accumulate funds.
"If there are no problems, everyone can go back to work." Boss Zhang ended the conversation.
Afterwards, the three remaining employees gathered together and talked quietly.
Xiaoxiao found it incredible, "Why is it Sister Zhang?"
"Who knows." Su Han muttered.
Another old employee seemed to have thought of something, with a complicated expression, and whispered, "Who asked her to make 150 a day? The combined salary of the two of you is only this much! Instead of firing a cheap and useful apprentice, why not fire her..."
The topic was too heavy, and for a moment, Su Han didn't know what to say.
Xiaoxiao was worried. "Sister Zhang owes 1,800 yuan on her credit card and has to pay it back on time every day. If she loses her job, how will she survive?"
I used to complain that the money I received every day was too little and not enough to spend!
"You still have time to worry about her?" Another old employee sneered, "Everyone is in debt? Who can't lose their job? If you really had the guts, you should have slammed the door and walked out when the boss cut your salary and increased your working hours. You have no choice but to stay here!"
Xiaoxiao was suddenly speechless.
Su Han lowered his eyes and said nothing, looking very well behaved. In his heart, he was thinking, how great it is that he has no debts!
The author has something to say: The bread that is not sold out on the same day must be disposed of. Employees can take it home if they like, and throw it away if they don't want it. This is how some bakeries operate in reality.
Some shops offer discounts in the afternoon and some in the evening to clear the day's stock. If the bread is not sold before closing, the remaining bread will be given to employees or thrown away.
Silver jewelry store price = current silver price * weight + labor cost
Recycling price = current silver price * weight
The prices of gold and silver fluctuate constantly with the market prices. The latest price of paper silver is 3.12, expressed in RMB per gram, and the highest price in the past decade has exceeded 10.
You must go to a regular store to buy gold and silver, because you will be given a receipt after you buy it, and you can sell it to the store if you don't want it later. We will definitely recycle items with receipts, and items from other stores will depend on the situation.
So if someone buys gold or silver jewelry and doesn't like it, they can go back and pay some money to change it.
