Chapter 45: The Secret of Linhu Village 16
Xu Xinghe put a little salt in the soup, stirred it well, and served a bowl to Su Qingyun.
"Let's have breakfast first and talk while we eat."
Su Qingyun took it. The soup was very thick, and the unknown mushrooms floating in the soup looked appetizing.
But, is it edible?
"What kind of mushroom is this?" Su Qingyun asked with doubt. Can a corporate executive recognize a mushroom?
Xu Xinghe smiled. "These are not freshly picked mushrooms. I brought them here. They are cultivated and edible mushrooms that are sold in major supermarkets in the real world."
"You brought it, but you didn't bring any luggage." Su Qingyun also glanced at the tent.
Add to that the oxygen cylinder and other things that Xu Xinghe discarded after coming ashore, and if he had brought them with him, one bag wouldn't be able to hold them all.
Xu Xinghe smiled again and did not answer. Instead, he spread the tablecloth on his knees and started eating mushroom breakfast.
Su Qingyun, "It's a ring, right?"
"right."
"space?"
"Almost, but it's not a universal space. It can only hold things I put in my inventory. Things in the strange world can only be taken out and cannot be recycled."
Su Qingyun said "oh".
It was just like when she bought things on the Yijianda APP, the only difference was that what she could buy was what was on the APP, while what Xu Xinghe could take was what he had put in in advance.
"It seems that you are an outdoor sports enthusiast. The space is equipped with outdoor supplies." Tents, pots and axes.
"Yes. What about you? What are your hobbies?"
Su Qingyun, "..." Why did they start talking about hobbies? Is this something they should talk about?
Su Qingyun ate a piece of mushroom. It tasted good, but a little hot. She stirred the soup with a spoon and replied vaguely, "I've been here for so long that I've forgotten what my hobbies are."
"You never went back?"
“There’s no chance to go back.”
"Are you one of the first trial participants?"
"Yes."
"I didn't expect you to be so strong. The longest anyone I know has ever endured in a dungeon is three months."
"How do you know?"
"It will be displayed on the public screen, but you can't see it in the weird world. There shouldn't be many IDs like yours that can survive for a year, and you're one of the first."
Xu Xinghe said so much, but Su Qingyun only heard one sentence: It will be displayed on the public screen.
So her parents knew that she was still alive. If they knew she was still alive, why did her father enter the dungeon to look for her?
There is only one answer, Ye Jian is lying!
Damn Ye Jian, Su Qingyun clenched the spoon, how could he joke about his family.
Later, Su Qingyun calmed down a bit. She confirmed with Xu Xinghe, "Do you mean that in the real world, everyone can see which instance a participant has entered through their personal ID?"
Xu Xinghe denied Su Qingyun's idea. He said, "The strange world has not been made public to this extent. It's just that the personal ID will scroll on the public screen. Green means alive, and gray means swallowed by the strangeness."
"What about the forum? What's going on?"
"Oh, this is an APP developed by our Fanxing Group."
"Isn't the Fanxing Group developing a strange world?"
"I told you that the Weird World hasn't been made public to this extent. Even in dungeons, they don't allow players to publicly exchange information about the previous dungeon, so how could they possibly allow a forum?"
"But there are still forums in the real world. Your Fanxing Group is very powerful." Su Qingyun has always felt that the strange world is very powerful. It not only erodes books and scripts, but also can bring a living person into another world at a specified time.
It can be said that it can do everything.
But the Fanxing Group can compete with it.
Xu Xinghe told her that the arrival of the weirdness did have an impact on human life, but it could only manipulate those polluted things. As long as she did not enter the copy, she would still have freedom.
"But..." Xu Xinghe kept it a secret.
"But what?"
"Now the weirdness is beginning to invade other areas."
"For example?"
"For example, some love-related dungeons have a lot of bizarre rules. I don't know the details, and this is my first time here."
Su Qingyun felt that Xu Xinghe knew much more than that, he just didn't want to tell her.
He is an executive of the Star Group, a person with spatial abilities, and someone who can break the rules in dungeons.
"Is the ring a product of your Fanxing Group?" Su Qingyun asked casually on purpose.
"Yes, but the price is very high, about one million ghost coins."
Su Qingyun said "oh". One million ghost money might not even be a fraction for her, but it was indeed an astronomical figure for others.
It’s still the same old saying, thanks to the scumbag.
"Does anyone buy it? I mean, besides you, the rich people in the real world."
Xu Xinghe smiled and said, "Yes, but not much. One million ghost money converted into RMB is not a small amount."
“Oh, how much is that in RMB?”
"One hundred million."
Su Qingyun almost spit out the soup in her mouth.
One million ghost money is equivalent to 100 million RMB, so her 300 million is...
She swallowed the soup, suppressed her heartbeat, and said softly, "Oh," "It's so expensive."
"So you are a billionaire." Su Qingyun took another bite of mushroom.
Xu Xinghe spread his hands and said, "I was, and I am a pauper now. Otherwise, I wouldn't just treat you to mushroom soup."
"What about you?" Xu Xinghe asked, "I saw you buy things without blinking, and your ghost money..."
"I picked it up. Some copies of the strange world will randomly drop ghost money."
"Scrap picking?"
"almost."
"If we can return to the real world, would you be interested in working for our Star Group?"
Su Qingyun, "..." The topic changed. Why did he suddenly invite me for a job?
"What is the main business of the Star Group?"
"Develop some products that can help humans clear levels in dungeons."
Su Qingyun said "oh" again. It seems that Fanxing Group has more than just the space ring product.
Finally, she asked Xu Xinghe, "Are you at Fanxing Group developing these products to destroy the weird world?"
"Our company's corporate philosophy is to create the future together."
"Create the future together?" Su Qingyun sneered, "Putting people in cages like little white mice, is this the future?" And wanting to create it together, how ridiculous.
Xu Xinghe asked her in return, "Then what kind of future do you think is the future?"
Su Qingyun couldn't answer. Before the strangeness came, many people lived without a goal.
Xu Xinghe answered himself, saying, "Greedy, lazy, arbitrary, and reckless attitudes towards life are not the future. I think strictly abiding by the rules is not necessarily a bad thing."
"You appreciate the rules of the game? But you didn't follow the rules."
"What you see with your eyes is not necessarily true." Xu Xinghe stood up and walked towards the pond.
Su Qingyun chewed over his words.
What you see isn't necessarily true! What does that mean? He cut down the bamboo and beat up the old woman, but that wasn't breaking the rules?
Aren’t the rules the ones she sees with her own eyes?
Su Qingyun frowned. She couldn't understand what Xu Xinghe said, and she couldn't figure out Xu Xinghe as a person.
But, there is one thing: stay away from him.
