Chapter 232: Inhuman (40) (1st update + 2nd update + 0.5 update) [VIP]
Obviously, the "final right of interpretation" of the Monopoly organizer is an unfair clause.
If they could be defeated, I'm afraid these organizers would have been beaten into sandbags by more than 300 contestants.
"This Monopoly is really shady..." Xiao Fei said silently, "Not only are there fraud groups and gangs, but even the announcements are fraudulent."
This is precisely the biggest problem.
In a competition, most people will assume that the organizer and the services provided by the organizer are actually neutral, and the organizer's tendency is not biased towards any party.
But now it seems that the organizer of Monopoly is obviously not neutral.
They hid some information from the contestants.
"Tsk," Xiao Tang put his hands on his hips in annoyance, "Doesn't that mean that sometimes what these announcements say can't be trusted?"
Who needs to figure out whether an announcement is credible when playing games?
The announcement quietly popped up: [Under normal circumstances, it is still trustworthy. We are also workers. What's wrong with taking some kickbacks from the gang?]
Xiao Tang: “…I’ll go.”
She was stunned: "The announcement is a living person!"
Isn't this thing generated by the system? It's a real worker!
A living person is making the announcement!
[Yes,] After the announcement was exposed, the tone suddenly became more down-to-earth, [It is difficult for college students to find jobs nowadays, so create more jobs to alleviate the employment crisis.]
"You still say 'yeah', how dare you say 'yeah'..." Xiao Tang was silent for a while, "I say, is there any integrity in your city? What a fraud city!"
Even the announcements are made by real people, and they take kickbacks from gangs. How can this game be good?
Announcement: [Oh, don’t be angry, opportunities are often accompanied by crises...]
Bai Jinshu's eyelids twitched: "Why don't I see opportunities, but only crises?"
Since they entered here, just looking at the several event grids they encountered in the third division, the first was a beggar who cheated money, the second was a high-salary scam, and the third was hidden consumption. These three event grids are not all crises.
[Didn’t you all encounter opportunities?] The announcement was convincing, [The first time I robbed beggars, I got 680,000 yuan. The second time I cooperated with the electronic fraud park to instigate infighting in the competition area. The third time I defeated four gangs.]
[Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. You see, you are very prepared.] The college students behind the announcement are full of desire to survive. [Monopoly City is such a city full of challenges and opportunities.]
Bai Jinshu: ...
Is that because they are prepared?
That's because they are better at fighting!
Even if someone else was here, and the person who reached this grid was Guan Hongyan from the fourth zone, these four unlucky gangs would have the same result.
The situation for the other two divisions is not certain. I don’t know about the second division, but given the level of naivety in the first division, they might really be squeezed out of every last penny.
What kind of opportunity is this? At best, it is bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
[Hey, let’s not talk about this topic anymore.] The announcement quickly changed the subject. [Look, your hotel is built!]
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was diverted to some extent.
The building that was just surrounded by the green mesh of the construction team has now been completed. It looks no different from other hotels on the land, except that there are indeed fewer guests staying there.
Bai Jinshu took a look at the profit and found that it was 30/h.
Because of its special geographical location, very few customers dare to stay in this hotel. Compared with the previous few times when there were endless stream of tourists coming to the hotel, the number of tourists here is sparse and much less.
"There are indeed a lot fewer tourists..." Huang Mao also muttered quietly, "If I paid more than 6,000 yuan and only got a hotel with so few tourists, it would be too much of a loss..."
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely noisy sound was heard in the hotel.
There were a few ping-pong sounds.
It looked like something had been smashed.
There were a few shouts of surprise, and then the receptionist seemed to speak: "Sir! Sir, this is not allowed..."
Before he could finish his words, he was drowned out by a louder sound of something breaking. "No? What do you mean no? I'm telling you, the third brother of Qinglong Hall knows it! My uncle! I can smash your hotel today and nothing will happen to me!"
"Is... someone causing trouble in the hotel?" Li Zi's eyes widened.
They have opened three hotels, and this is the first time someone has caused trouble inside.
With a ding, the announcement was updated: [Please note that there are people making trouble in the hotel. Please mobilize personnel in time to maintain public order and expel them. The security teams you can choose are: Qinglong Hall thugs, Baihu Hall thugs, Xuanwu Hall thugs, and Suzaku Hall thugs. The system recommends teaming: Baihu Hall/Xuanwu Hall/Suzaku Hall. Intimate tips: Do not put the thugs of the four teams in the same team. ]
[Oh…] A string of ellipsis appeared silently in the announcement, [You didn’t hire any thugs…]
Announcement: [Want to hire now? Discounted price, 80 per team. ]
This time I won’t charge 200.
Xiao Tang gave a kind smile: "Do I still need to hire that?"
The three naked tattooed men were still hugging each other and shouting. Xiao Tang turned around with a cold face and shouted, "Stop making noise, be quiet!"
The guys with buzz cuts shut up instantly.
"Who is the third in command of Qinglong Hall?" She glanced at everyone's faces, "Is he here?"
"I...I," the burly man with a shaved head who was first pointed out by her and shook hands with the people from the White Tiger Hall and spoke to them raised his hand.
"Oh, it's you," Xiao Tang glanced at him, "your nephew is making trouble in there, he said he can destroy the hotel and it won't be a problem."
And this nephew was probably causing trouble while drunk.
Everyone silently looked at the drunken third brother of Qinglong Hall, then looked at the chaotic lobby, and could not help but sigh at the greatness of heredity.
The whole family is drunk.
"This brat!" The third elder of Qinglong Hall slapped his thigh, "I'll go teach him a lesson!"
Xiao Tang looked at him for several seconds, which made the tattooed man's back creep out, and then he said, "Well, go ahead."
The third leader of Qinglong Hall strode into the hotel. After a while, he pulled out a man who looked shifty by the ears.
"Hey, hey, hey, uncle!" The man stood on tiptoe and cried out in pain, "It hurts, it hurts, uncle, why are you here!"
"You'd be in big trouble if I wasn't here!" The third brother of Qinglong Hall kicked him and threw him to the ground. "Do you know who owns this hotel and this land? From now on, this place belongs to the Hammer Gang!"
"The Hammer Gang..." The man showed a puzzled expression, "What is the Hammer Gang? I've never heard of it..."
"Haha, you're in big trouble this time." The people from Suzaku Hall nearby made sarcastic remarks.
“Why are you here!” The shifty-looking man turned around and saw the people from Suzaku Hall. He stepped back as if his eyes were irritated. “Fuck, what are you doing here? It’s broad daylight. Can you put some clothes on before talking?”
"It's none of your business!" The embarrassment on the face of the people from Suzaku Hall flashed away, "You may not even be able to keep your clothes on later!"
“You…what are you going to do?” The shifty-looking man hugged himself with his arms, “Don’t go too far, Suzaku Hall. You stripped me in broad daylight. Be careful of my uncle… hey hey hey uncle!”
Before he could finish his words, the third brother of Qinglong Hall next to him grabbed his ear.
The third elder of Qinglong Hall looked at everyone in the third competition area and said, "Everyone, this time it was our lax discipline that led to this incident. We will bear any losses in the hotel, no matter how much money it costs!"
Before Bai Jinshu could even open his mouth, Lao Ma beside him said angrily, "You gangs only know how to bully the honest people. Now you're asking for compensation just because you're a tough guy. You have no sincerity at all!"
His wrinkled face showed a lot of indignation.
"That's right," Xiao Tao muttered softly, "If you guys couldn't beat Brother Er and Sister Xiao Tang..."
Then they would have to pay 4,000 gold coins, and they would lose all their money here.
"This is not something that can be solved with money," the people from the White Tiger Hall immediately added insult to injury after seeing the situation. "Your nephew has been doing evil things in the West District for who knows how many years, relying on his uncle in the Azure Dragon Hall. How can you just pay him a fine and let it go? Don't you see who the people in the Hammer Gang are? Can you just pay him a fine and let it go?"
"Yes, yes," the Suzaku Hall people said darkly, "At least you, the uncle, should accompany him and be stripped naked and taken to Caishikou, holding hands and shouting that I shouldn't smash the hotel lobby and that I must abide by the law. Is that the end of it?"
Xuanwu Hall Chayan Chayu: "That's too much. Why is your nephew causing trouble in the Hammer Gang's territory? Unlike us, our nephews would never do such a thing."
Qinglongtang: ???
Are you trying to kick someone when he's down?
"Apologize now!" The third elder of Qinglong Hall quickly pressed his nephew's shoulders, "Apologize if you don't want to be stripped naked in the vegetable market!"
"Ah...what?" His nephew hadn't reacted yet, "Why did you strip me naked in the vegetable market...?"
"Just apologize if I ask you to!" The third brother of the Qinglong Gang slapped the back of the head of the shifty man, "Hurry up! And pay the money!"
"But why did you strip me naked in the vegetable market..." He still looked confused.
Xiao Tang Youyou: "It's okay if you don't want to be naked. I know a small leader in the northern Myanmar park. I have some cooperative relationship with their park. I can contact him to take you to Gan Yaozi abroad..."
"I'm sorry!" the man replied, "I was wrong! Sister, I was really wrong!"
"Who are you talking to? Why are you calling me sister?" The third brother of Qinglong Hall gritted his teeth.
"Sister, I was wrong!"
Xiao Tang: ...
Everyone:……
I never expected that this identity of a semi-professional beggar would be so useful.
My nephew's speed on the slide beat 99.9% of his peers, and he preserved his last bit of dignity. He was not stripped naked and thrown into the vegetable market, where people shouted "I shouldn't have gotten drunk."
But at the same time, the Hammer Gang seemed even more terrifying in everyone's eyes.
They have changed from a new gang that would strip people naked and throw them at the entrance of the vegetable market while they scream, to a terrifying old money family that has deep cooperation with overseas fraud parks and would send people to the gangs.
For a moment, everyone felt in danger. Several shirtless men with buzz cuts covered their waists with extreme vigilance, as if this was the way to keep their organs intact.
"Sister, I know a decoration company. I'll ask them to renovate the lobby for you. I guarantee it will be bright and spacious!"
"Brother, I know an advertising company. I'll ask them to do the decoration and packaging for you. I guarantee that the room will be full every day in the future!"
"I have a professional team under my command. I'll ask them to stand guard here for you and prevent any blind people from causing trouble here!"
Everyone rushed to flatter him.
Faced with the crisis, those who were chopped by the kitchen knife stopped crying out in pain. Instead, they forced a very stiff smile on their faces and surrounded the living devils from the third zone and sat in the lobby.
"Brother, sit here. I'll go clean up the debris on the floor!" The sly-looking nephew was very attentive. He welcomed Bai Jinshu and the others to the sofa, then ran to the cleaning room happily, took out a broom and dustpan, and diligently cleaned up the debris he had broken.
Bai Jinshu silently exchanged a glance with his teammates around him: "I still like your unruly side."
"No, no, no, no," the eldest nephew jumped up from the ground, "How can I be unruly? I have always been the best behaved one in our family!"
It would have been more believable if his calves weren't shaking so violently.
"This beggar is so useful..." Xiao Tang muttered in a low voice, "I can't believe it..."
She felt that the semi-professional beggar and this group of gang members were just as cowardly!
Announcement Mo Mo: [Do you have any misunderstandings about the strength of your team? ]
Who wouldn’t be scared under your iron fist?
"Really? I'm fine," Xiao Tang seemed to be thinking about something. "I feel like I'm violent at best, but Ersi is really cruel and ruthless. How can I be compared to someone as sinister and cunning as him?"
She changed her words tactfully at Huai Jiamu's cold glance.
As the debris in the lobby was cleared, a group of young men dressed in uniform and looking full of energy walked in.
“Brother, sister!” The people from Suzaku Hall came forward and said, “This is our team of thugs, a professional team. They will be the ones guarding the hotel for you from now on! We will never let anyone with ulterior motives get close to us!”
"Okay, go patrol outside." Xiao Tang waved his hand.
This team of thugs left.
"Damn, they are so insidious," the person from the White Tiger Hall nearby cursed in a low voice, "The people from the Suzaku Hall actually sent someone here so quickly! Quick, let's go back and find them too!"
"Boss, we are a decoration company here," after a while, a man carrying a decoration bucket came in, "Do you think this place needs to be transformed into a magnificent and wealthy style, a fresh and elegant Instagram style, or a classical and heavy European style, a relaxed and comfortable Mediterranean style, or a traditional retro Ming and Qing style, or a refined and elegant Republic of China style..."
"Can you introduce them?" Bai Jinshu thought for a moment, "What are these styles like?"
"In fact, we can also make a platter! You'll know when we make it!" The man holding the paint bucket stretched out his fingers and counted, "We can make a six-style mixed platter, open six doors in this lobby, and each door will have a different decoration style!"
"...No way," Bai Jinshu thought about the scene and got goose bumps, "Let's just do it in the Instagram style."
"Okay!" The decoration boss picked up the bucket and called the workers in to start work.
"Damn, how shameless!" the people from the Azure Dragon Hall nearby cursed in a low voice, "The White Tiger Hall really has no bottom line when it comes to flattering people!"
"Hey," Xiao Tang looked around curiously, "Why are there so many guests all of a sudden?"
"Sister, this is it!" Everyone in Qinglong Hall forced out flowery smiles and gathered around. "These tourists are all from our hall. We have mobilized all our relatives, friends, and colleagues to stay at the hotel to increase the flow of customers for you!"
"Brother Er!" Xiao Fei exclaimed, "The profit of this hotel has reached 300/hour."
It has increased tenfold!
"Yes, yes. It will be more lively with more people. Look how lively it is!" Everyone in Qinglong Hall responded immediately.
"Damn it!" The people from Xuanwu Hall cursed, "They did this, what the hell are we going to do?"
"Brother Er!" A handsome man walked out of the Xuanwu Hall and knelt down in front of Bai Jinshu. "I heard that you don't have a son. My parents died early. If you don't mind, I want to take care of you in your old age..."*
Bai Jin, who was drinking water, said: "...Puff."
"Cough... cough, cough, cough!" He couldn't control himself and choked on the water, coughing heart-wrenchingly.
Huai Jiamu: ...
Huai Jiamu: "Get away."
"Okay." The handsome man rolled away.
For a moment, people from the four gangs rushed to curry favor with the Third Division, and the scene was filled with the humble atmosphere of everyone not wanting to lose.
Even if the semi-professional beggar came here, he probably wouldn't get this treatment.
Three hours passed quickly.
Under the watchful eyes and farewell lining up of the four gangs, everyone in the third zone voted two and got on the business car to leave.
"I'm really going to die of laughter..." Xiao Tang laughed wildly as he got into the car, "Let's play Monopoly and recognize 17 or 18 sons. How great it is to have many children and grandchildren."
Bai Jinshu: "Do you want this blessing?"
Xiao Tang: "You must be joking. He is your son and he is going to take care of you in your old age. What does it have to do with me?"
Outside the car window, the sons of Xuanwu Hall called out affectionately, "Dad, come again next time!"
There was an eerie silence in the car.
Under the terrifying pressure of Ersi and Daguitan, the business car of the third zone finally stopped at the grid they arrived at this time.
As soon as we got off the bus, we saw eight or nine people standing on this grid.
"Hey," Li Zi, who went down first, exclaimed, "You are..."
"We are from the second division," said a man in a windbreaker.
They collided with the second division?
Everyone quickly looked up the map and found that the second division had thrown a five in the previous round.
"That's not right," Xiao Fei was a little puzzled. "According to this dice, shouldn't you be four squares away from us now?"
Why are you here?
"We landed at a traffic station," someone from Division 2 explained, "and were given the right to roll again, and we rolled a four."
“Oh, so that’s it…” Everyone in the third zone got off the bus.
Everyone in the second division seemed to be very polite. When they saw them getting off the car, they took the initiative to say, "We have checked. This is an ordinary land grid. If you want to build a hotel, build it quickly."
"Ah?" Xiao Tang was at a loss, "Aren't you going to build it?"
It stands to reason that when two teams collide with the same piece of land, it is a bidding model and the one with the highest bid wins.
Although the second division suffered a lot of losses because the hotel was burned down, but according to the route just now, they should have passed the starting point once, which means they earned 2,000.
In this case, why don't they build new hotels?
"Well..." The people from Division 2 showed a mixture of embarrassment and anger on their faces. "We had already gone through some internal discussions before you came. We believe that our current financial situation is not suitable for new investments, so we chose not to buy."
In other words, there is still not enough money.
How can there not be enough money...
Xiao Tang's thoughtful gaze drifted to Ersi.
Could it be that... those two fraudsters from the first division have succeeded?
That's... too unlucky.
First, all the hotels were burned down, and then a lot of money was defrauded. The second division truly deserves the word "miserable".
Even the announcement couldn't help but say pitifully: [From the history of the Business All-Round Challenge, such an unlucky team is rare. I almost didn't have the heart to announce it just now. ]
"Aren't you afraid of being seen by them making sarcastic remarks here?" Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows.
[Just kidding,] the announcement was very confident, [Of course I switched to a private channel when chatting with you, otherwise if my boss found out that I didn’t install an AI during working hours, I would be deducted from my salary, right?]
Xiao Tang: ...
Xiao Tang was puzzled: "You, the organizer, fired the real artificial intelligence system and created jobs for college students to pretend to be AI?"
What kind of pants-taking-off-farting spirit is this?
Since you're going to hire people to act as AI, can't you just use AI from the beginning?
In such confusion, the third division purchased the land and chose to build a hotel.
After the man explained why they didn't buy the land, the people in the second zone gathered together, and it was unclear what they were discussing or writing.
Before the decoration team arrived, Xiao Tang and his friends could vaguely hear words like "settling accounts", "deliberate", "eliminated", and "first division" in their conversation.
It seems that they discovered that the scammer was from the First Division, and they have automatically put the blame on the First Division.
They were the ones who sent the first division into the hospital in the second round, so it was easy to recognize that those two people were contestants from the first division.
Ersi has done all kinds of bad things.
In this atmosphere, not far away, a convoy of cars came sweeping up the dust.
Four familiar men jumped out of the car: "Dad, look at the decoration team I brought with me!"
Bai Jinshu: "If you scream again, you will all be sent to the Myanmar campus."
"Brother Er...Brother Er!" They quickly changed their words, "Look, this is the decoration team brought by our four gangs. As soon as we saw that you bought a new piece of land, we brought the decoration team here. What style do you want this time? Is it the magnificent and wealthy style, the fresh and elegant Instagram style, or..."
"Okay, okay," Bai Jinshu waved his hand and randomly selected one. "Then let's go with the European style."
"Okay!" They waved their hands back, "Let's get started!"
A bunch of workers got off the cars behind and started to build a new hotel.
"This is not our project..." The late-arriving decoration team from the organizer was stunned.
"You're late," the crew-haired man from the White Tiger Hall stood at the door with a haughty look on his face. "We have taken over the decoration business here! Look, it's a European style!"
He was also proud of it.
Behind him, a decoration team that came from nowhere had already built a Baroque building that looked like a church from the ground up.
Groups of workers are lying on the facade doing relief carving work!
The organizer's decoration team: ...
The organizer's decoration team: "The salary is just a few dollars, you are cheating your father."
The organizer's decoration team left angrily.
"Tsk, you don't know what's good," the man from Qinglongtang curled his lips, then turned around and immediately smiled, "Brother, sister, let me show you all this newly built hotel."
Xiao Tang: "...You call this...a hotel?"
Don't act recklessly just because this is a holographic world!
This is a church! This is obviously a church!
Who would dare to stay in this hotel if you build it like this?
"European style!" Qinglongtang said confidently, "How European! This is a team we specially invited!"
The church door frame suddenly opened, and a bald old priest stood in front of the prayer table and looked at everyone who came to visit the hotel: "Do you have anything to confess, my children? A king-size room is 168 per night, a double room is 208..."
“Look,” he showed, “an immersive church-themed hotel!”
Bai Jinshu: ...
Bai Jinshu: "You did a great job. Don't do it next time."
He quietly stepped out and just happened to meet the contestants from the second zone standing at the door.
"I... Shit, man," everyone in Division 2 was a little embarrassed to be caught secretly visiting. The man in the jacket came out again and said, "What are you doing?"
We have all seen what a hotel looks like, what is the third division going to do?
Are they building a hotel or a tourist attraction?
Bai Jin said: "...an immersive church-themed hotel."
“Awesome…awesome,” the man nodded in shock. “How much did this cost you…”
"What? Free!" Qinglongtang's crew cut appeared beside them. "We built all of this voluntarily for the big brothers and sisters of the Hammer Gang, just to give passengers the same experience as arriving in Europe. There is no extra charge for the whole journey!"
Qinglongtang took out a few business cards from his pocket and said, "Look, this is the business card of our decoration team. We guarantee a fast construction period and good quality, but you need to pay some extra fees..."
This thing actually has a business card.
Everyone in the second division: "Huh?"
They were clearly confused.
"Can this be done... for free?" someone whispered, "But why does it cost money to rebuild our hotel after it burned down, and why does it also take time to complete the project..."
"What? It's burned!" Xuanwu Tang's buzz cut suddenly appeared and took out a business card from his pocket. "This is our bodyguard team, a professional team, guaranteed to escort your hotel and prevent any ill-intentioned people from approaching your property. If you place an order now, you can get a 20% discount for my father... my brother Er!"
"Well..." Everyone in the second division looked at each other awkwardly, "Let's just forget it. We don't have much money right now. All our money has been swindled away."
"What? Scammed!" The man with a buzz cut appeared out of nowhere and took out a few business cards from his pocket. "This is our Suzakutang's business, including violent debt collection and detective tracking. If your money has been scammed, you can call this hotline to order services. As long as you are in Monopoly City and don't leave the country, we will definitely get your money back."
"The success rate is high, and all the money is recovered," he said as he handed over the postcard, "but our fees are relatively expensive in the industry, as we need to recover 20% of the money."
"You guys..." The second division seemed to be interested, "Can you recover the money first and then pay?"
Zhuquetang: "Oh, that won't work. You don't have money."
"What? You don't have money!" A member of the White Tiger Hall appeared. "This is the name card of our White Tiger Hall. Our gang provides loan sharking services. Nine times out of ten, thirteen times back. For Er Ge's sake, we can reduce the annualized interest rate to 70% for you."
"Oh my god...are you here for business?" Xiao Tang complained in a low voice.
"How is it? Countless hotels have been built ahead," the White Tiger Hall clenched his hands, "You have no money, and once you settle on someone else's land, you will immediately go bankrupt. If you borrow our loan sharks, you can entrust the people of the Suzaku Hall to help you recover the money, and then let the people of the Azure Dragon Hall renovate the hotel for you, and finally have the professional team of the Black Tortoise Hall to protect you. Isn't it worth it!"
Second Division: "It seems to be worth it..."
With that said, it seems like it’s really worth it!
"Hurry! Sign the contract now! Don't wait to make money!" Baihutang Bancun took out a contract from his pocket, "Who is the person in charge? Sign with your fingerprint. We will release the loan immediately without verifying your qualifications to protect your competition career."
"Then... let's borrow 5,000 first..." The man in the jacket hesitated, "Sign here?"
"Yes." Baihutang Bancun nodded.
A few seconds after the man signed, the people in the second division team showed a hint of joy on their faces: "It's really here! It's in the account!"
"There's hope! No need to be eliminated!"
"Thank you, I thought you were lying!" Everyone was delighted at once.
"No, don't thank me," Baihutang Bancun said solemnly, "You should thank my father. It was he who gave you this opportunity to meet us."
"Thank you, Ersi!" Everyone turned their heads.
Bai Jinshu: "...You're welcome."
Don't thank him though.
He has already seen the future of the Second Division being trapped by loan sharks.
The author has something to say:
Qing Qiqiang, Bai Qiqiang, Zhu Qiqiang and Xuan Qiqiang relied on Ersi and later achieved financial freedom through lending and industrial closure (Hey)
