Chapter 409 The Real World (1st update + 2nd update + 0.5 update of 42w nutrient solution) [VIP]
[Blood, Flesh, Bitterness, Weakness] This project, which had been a holdout in the foundation's investor forum for several months, finally came to an end with a black screen.
This legendary Cthulhu project, from completely solving san check and becoming the light of the Cthulhu world, to wasting six teams of explorers without producing a result, to the only true god She Mochu joining the exploration team, and finally suddenly rising from B+ to S in an instant, all in a short span of four months.
So much so that when it was completed, the investors in the forum were not celebrating that they had finally made it, but were thanking the heavens and the earth for not dying, my aunts, my grandma, my socks, my jacket, my brain turning into dates, and that it was good to get out of the Cthulhu world alive. *
Investors who were not interested in this project looked confused.
You investors in the Cthulhu project are really crazy.jpg
[Fulfilling vows! A dedicated place for my Lord to fulfill vows and distribute wealth. Friends who come in and leave messages will distribute 100 points per floor to celebrate my Lord She Mochu's survival from the weakness of flesh and blood! ]
【Sharing post! Sisters, I am not saying that the Lama Temple in our space is really powerful. During the last few days of exploration, I went there every morning to worship. In the end, not only did the main project not die, but it also upgraded to S. 】
[Exchange post! Are there any family members like me who have never known what the high-end space is? After completing the project with blood and flesh, I suddenly received a private message from the foundation, telling me that I have been promoted to the high-end space and will have the right to share the profits in the future, blah blah blah...]
[Screenshot post! Sharing some self-screenshots of Shemochu's desktop in Flesh and Blood, who knows how the modeled face invades the three-dimensional world? When I shared the pictures in the comment section under the comics, everyone asked me who the cosplayer was. I didn't dare to say that this was the protagonist himself. ]
[Chatting post! I invested in this project because I heard that there is a handsome team member in Blood and Flesh, and now I am a little interested in Cthulhu Space. Is there any big guy who invested in this project to come in and say a few words? I heard that it is a deep pit, and I am very confused whether to invest in it. ]
…
Bai Jinshu closed the post on the investor forum, rubbed his brows, and fell towards the shell behind him.
The pearly clam snapped shut, trapping him inside.
After completing the project [Blood, Flesh, Bitterness and Weakness], he did not rush back to the real world, but first came to the Foundation's special space to deal with the follow-up matters of this space that was permanently stopped by them.
After the foundation completes its space exploration, the normal process should be for the foundation and the space owner to advance a portion of the investor dividends after the project is concluded, and then post the relevant information of this space on another trading panel, entering a development process that has nothing to do with these exploration team members.
This trading panel is more like a stock market screen. Every world waiting for investment is a stock waiting for investment. Investors can judge the investment value of the project and make subsequent development plans by watching the exploration video of the world or directly calling up the rules within the world.
Once investors have decided on a specific development direction or have already thought of a profit direction, the space will enter the development process after attracting enough development investment. The foundation will send a special development team to stay in the space to carry out subsequent value development. After the development process is completed, the entire space will enter the normal commercialization process.
After entering the commercialization process, the space starts to make profits, and part of the dividends paid by the foundation and investment organizations will be returned, and the part of the dividends that have not been settled by previous blind box investors will also be paid in batches.
Of course, some spaces will be traded away by some mysterious buyers when they are listed on the trading panel. Some of these buyers are other organizations with the same special spaces, and some are partners that have trading relations with the foundation. Most of them purchase these spaces to meet some needs of their own world.
For example, in the future space where some resources are close to being scarce, it is very likely that the space will choose to acquire some resource-rich worlds. Gangs in the immortal cultivation plane may often acquire some blessed places and small secret places where great men have been confirmed to have fallen or where there are mysterious herbs. Some military academies and armies in the interstellar world will also acquire some worlds occupied by the Zerg as virtual training grounds.
The foundation supports transactions using local currency or pledge of items, and has its own mature procedures for exchanging currencies between different worlds. In this case, a large and mysterious buyer can directly pay off the dividends in one lump sum by purchasing this space, and the amount of money used to purchase the world is also determined by the final rating of the world. Simply put, the higher the rating, the higher the price.
But no matter which case, before the project finds a developer, it is certain that the foundation and the project owner will need to advance part of the money to pay off investors' dividends.
Huai Jiamu paused the time of this world, which means that [Blood, Flesh, Bitterness and Weakness] will not enter the development process for a long time, which is equivalent to rejecting the subsequent development needs of the investment bank. Then most of the dividends from the upgrade from B+ to S will need to be paid by the space owner.
Bai Jinshu thought again that this might be a considerable expense, but he did not expect it to be so expensive.
Even though he had no idea how much money he had, he still felt a little heartbroken as he spent money like water.
The moment he left the service window of the foundation's special space, he felt that the staff behind the window looked at him as if he were being taken advantage of.
After all, he might really be a victim...
Most organizations choose to keep spaces with relatively low ratings. First, high-rated spaces can earn tens or hundreds of times more profit when put into the development process, and may also continue to provide capital inflows. Second, most organizations cannot afford to keep high-rated spaces.
The higher the space rating, the higher the rebate dividend, and the greater the price the owner has to pay to keep it. Moreover, entering the subsequent development does not mean the transfer of ownership of the space. Members within the organization can still enter, but some more complicated procedures are required. Sending it to development will only benefit you.
If it is not a real urgent need, wouldn’t it be nice to throw away this high-rated space and make money?
[Blood, Flesh, Bitterness, Weakness] This may be the peak rating of the world reserved for the Foundation's special space organization in a long period of time.
The sudden loss of a large sum of money in the account was so exaggerated that even Yun Guang couldn't help but ask the owner of the organization who was said to have no business doing anything.
[Yun Guang: Skao, has our organization made any major moves recently? ]
Bai Jinshu walked out of the service hall, looked at the chat list in silence for a moment, and shifted his gaze to Huai Jiamu who was accompanying him to handle the procedures.
Obviously, Huai Jiamu made the decision to freeze time in order to make him happy, but in the end he still had to pay the price. What's the matter?
…Forget it, it wasn’t just him who paid for it. Thanks to the Yunling family’s wealth and the Gu Kings who joined the foundation and worked hard to upgrade, [0106], which was established not long ago, can actually afford such a large expenditure.
He felt bad when transferring the money, and he used up a large portion of his own liquid funds, including a lot of dividends from other investments that Chao Yougan had made.
Watching Chao Yougan's points being cleared several times, even Bai Jinshu felt a little heartbroken. He repeated to himself several times that he should not feel sad, as all the points were earned from the foundation and he should just consider it as returning it to the foundation.
It's true that the foundation makes money and the foundation spends it, and I want to take some home as part of it.
Without his advance payment, the deficit in this account would be even more frightening.
Huai Jiamu did propose to use the treasures from his own kingdom of God to pay for part of the loss, but before he could take them out, his hand was firmly grasped by Bai Jinshu.
"Do you still remember?" Bai Jinshu closed his eyes, "I smuggled you out of the First Hospital."
As a result, the Foundation suffered a huge loss due to a space that was only worth D at most after the evil god disappeared.
What if he takes things out of his kingdom of God as collateral at this time, and the foundation finds out that he is the missing evil god?
Isn't this just confessing one's own crime?
Huai Jiamu also fell into a strange silence.
It’s connected. It’s all connected.
It's really a case of bringing disaster upon oneself.
So in the end, this expense was paid by [0106], Mr. Chao, and Mr. Bai, the actor who worked hard to make money by filming.
After several minutes, Yun Guang, who was wagging his tail and blowing bubbles in the vacation space, received a reply.
【She Mochu: I paid the bill.】
[She Mochu: I bought a space to play with. ]
Yun Guang was shocked.
"What's going on?" Guan Hongyan swam over from the side. "Why did our organization suddenly have a large amount of money debited? Could it be that our account was hacked? Then let Isaac deal with them!"
"...No, Hongyan," Yun Guang felt for the first time that the truth was so hard to tell, "She Mochu said that he bought a space to play with."
Guan Hongyan: “Ah?”
Her first reaction was to take a look at the Yunling resort where she was: "Is it like this? Can we go there to play too?"
Yun Guang: "Ask?"
He actually also wanted to know what She Mochu bought.
It's obvious that this person is the type who doesn't care about worldly matters and doesn't know how expensive food, oil, salt and fuel are. Could it be that he just bought it because he liked it so much?
Guan Hongyan has been so infatuated with playing recently that she has completely forgotten about exploring space. She followed Yunling and members of other organizations to visit their vacation spaces one by one. For the first time, she felt that it was really great to be promoted to a special space. In the past, she could not have visited so many fun worlds.
When she heard that She Mochu bought a space to play, she excitedly opened the chat box and found She Mochu: [She Mochu, Yun Guang said you bought a space to play, what did you buy, can we go play too? ]
She Mochu responded quickly.
[She Mochu: Kexi Space, are you going? ]
Guan Hongyan’s reply was also quick.
【Guan Hongyan: No, goodbye.】
[Guan Hongyan: The little cat ran away quickly.jpg]
It's natural to be cowardly and openly.
Guan Hongyan turned around and started to complain: "Are those people in the Cthulhu world really sick? Isn't their own world enough to play in? They still need to buy a Cthulhu world to play in?"
What’s so interesting about this worldview?
Yun Guang made a reasonable guess: "When I went back to the base to put away the furniture you brought back, Mo Chu contacted me and asked me to help find a miracle. When I asked him where it was, he said he was in a Cthulhu space of our organization. It is very likely that he bought that space."
During this time, everyone ate and took things at Yunling's resort space. Guan Hongyan established a deep friendship with the mermaids of Atlantis. Not only did they share sunflower seeds, but they also received many specialties from the mermaids.
For example, some shell beds, shell sofas, night pearls, etc...
Guan Hongyan accepted all the orders and asked Yun Guang to take them all back to the base. The last time She Mochu was able to contact him was because he happened to be going back to put away the furniture.
[0106] The other side of the base that has not been decorated is now filled with all kinds of Atlantis-style furniture. At first glance, it looks like a crystal palace, and it is like two different worlds compared to the other half of the base that is decorated in French cream style.
"What kind of space is that?" Guan Hongyan was curious, "I didn't know She Mochu went to explore again?"
"It seems to be a B+ level..." Yun Guang recalled and explained, "He said he would keep his rank."
That's not surprising.
Guan Hongyan turned over in the water and opened her panel, intending to see who could sell the space at such an expensive price.
On the other side, Bai Jinshu was settling accounts in the shell sofa inside the base.
Only when you don’t manage the household do you know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.
An S-class space almost emptied his entire fortune.
Members of the special space have a special status and basically do not need points to maintain their rank. Even if their points are used up and reach 0, they will not fall back to the low-level space. However, even so, he still left himself some points to maintain the permanent miracle [Custom Mask] and to buy some props when encountering emergencies. The rest were all thrown into the big pit of [Blood, Flesh, Bitterness and Weakness].
The remaining deficit in [0106] is not a big problem. Now the organization is gradually getting on the right track, and there is a lot of room for making money, not to mention the [Romantic Contagion] where diamonds and gold are free of charge, and a group of Gu Kings who will enter the special space sooner or later are constantly creating value.
Although the huge amount of money he deducted might seem scary at first glance, it would be earned back automatically after a period of time and did not shake the foundation of [0106]. Otherwise, Yun Guang would not have been shocked after learning that it was She Mochu who purchased the space and then stopped there.
It’s just that the loss of [0106] can be made up over time, and he really has no money left.
Bai Jinshu held his chin in his hand and was in a daze for a long time. He felt that he had never been so poor before.
Even if it is not for career, you should prepare some assets for future emergencies.
I don’t know what happened to his studio and the other young stars signed by Lao Wu in the studio.
While I was thinking, two "bang bang" sounds suddenly came from above my head.
Someone was rapping the shells with his knuckles.
At this time, there is only one person in the base who can knock on the shells.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jinshu opened the shell and poked his head out.
Huai Jiamu stood outside, and his eyes expressed the meaning of "What's wrong with you staying in there all the time? Are the sequelae of this space [Blood Flesh and Weakness] still serious to you? Do you need my help?"
Don’t worry about how Bai Jinshu could see so much from just one look, he just saw it.
Bai Jinshu curled his lips: "I'm fine..."
But his wallet was empty.
Let me say it again, there is no time to lose in taking on acting jobs and making money!
"I'll contact my agent," he said, rising from the shell, picking up his watch to check the time, and hissing loudly.
"Hmm?" Huai Jiamu expressed his doubtful emotion with a simple word.
"I forgot," Bai Jinshu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "It's already the seventeenth day."
He has been away from the real world for seventeen days.
Before he left, he asked those rich second-generations to help cover it up, but after so many days, Old Wu would definitely find out about the problem.
Based on Old Wu's mental state before he left, he suspected that Old Wu might be frightened to death by his sudden disappearance.
It turns out that it is not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come. The happiness that Old Wu got from Bai Jinshu, the trouble-free artist, in the past few years must be repaid.
I can only hope that these second-generation rich people are more reliable...
Bai Jinshu silently held up his face and said, "I'm going back to the real world."
Before leaving, he did not forget that he urgently needed a large amount of funds.
Guan Hongyan, who was watching She Mochu's self-explosion in shock in a resort space, suddenly received a notification that the message board of [0106] had been updated.
[Skao: It's almost the end of the year. If you have any plans to maintain your rank, please remember to update each other here. The higher the potential, the better. It is more efficient to play more high-end dungeons than to play low-end dungeons.]
[Skao: Don't tell me after the New Year that you guys have dropped in rank and want me to pull you out.]
Guan Hongyan: ...
Although she doesn't need to maintain her rank, looking at what Scario said, she feels that something very serious will happen if she loses rank...
The next second, a new message confirmed her guess.
[Chao Yougan: Uh, I don’t have much liquid funds recently, so I can’t lock in a position for you to take advantage of Xiao Ao’s 100% luck to successfully upgrade. I can’t save you either... If you get lost, just stay down there for a while...]
【Chao Yougan: But if you have any money-making projects or news about money-making, please recommend them to me! 】
Guan Hongyan silently pulled the sleeve of the person next to her: "Yun Guang, what will happen if you lose your rank?"
"Hmm... we need to start over again?" Yun Guang thought about it and apparently saw the message board. "Do you want to team up with people in the organization to complete the rank-preservation mission?"
"No," Guan Hongyan thought, "I just feel very emotional..."
I feel sad [0106] that such a large organization does not force its members to participate in the project to maintain their rank like other organizations. Instead, if someone fails to maintain their rank and falls down, the organization leader will be sent to rescue them personally.
It's outrageous that the boss of the organization can actually rescue people 100% of the time.
So you can actually all lose your rank and wait until everyone falls down, then let Chao Yougan lock a [0106] team-building space, and finally be pulled up by Skao all at once, right?
[Skao, Caicai, Lao Lao.jpg]
What a down-to-earth and special spatial organization.
Thinking about it this way, it’s not surprising why Changfen would meet the boss of a special space organization in an E-level project…
He really made me cry.
*
When Bai Jinshu returned to the real world, the bedroom curtains were drawn. He was lying on the bed before he left, and he was also lying there when he woke up.
There was the sound of slippers at the door, and a familiar face appeared at the door and reminded: "You said you wanted to contact your agent."
It’s Huaijiamu.
"Let me ask Brother Yue first." Bai Jinshu found the phone he had thrown aside, plugged in the charging cable, turned it on, and saw more than a hundred missed calls from his agent. His heart skipped a beat.
As expected, it couldn’t be hidden from Old Wu.
These more than a hundred missed calls were like a death warrant. Bai Jinshu quickly swiped through the lock screen and found the contact information of those rich second-generations. As soon as he called, He Qinyue's voice came from the other end: "Ahhhhh, Brother Bai, you're back. I'm sorry. We couldn't hide it. Your agent has sharp eyes and can tell at a glance that we were lying."
The noise coming from He Qinyue's end was very chaotic. It sounded like she was at a drinking party and someone was inviting her to drink.
"Drink hell, I'll make a phone call," she waved away her friends who were trying to persuade her to drink, "Brother Bai, we couldn't get in touch with you in the past few days. What should we do? Will your agent control your actions?"
"Not really," Bai Jinshu pinched the bridge of his nose, "What did you say?"
He Qinyue's voice faded a little. It sounded like she walked to the corridor of the bar with her phone in hand. She repeated everything Bai Jinshu had said to them before. She said in a frustrated tone, "As a result, your agent saw through our lies at first sight, and we didn't even have time to hide it."
"It's okay," Bai Jinshu comforted the depressed He Qinyue.
Huai Jiamu sat beside his bed, listening to the cautious voice of a girl coming from the other end of the microphone: "Well...how about a few of us come over now? This way, if your agent gets too angry, outsiders won't do anything to you."
"We usually do this," she added. "Every time my mother wants to scold me, she won't say anything too serious when she sees outsiders are present. Over time, the incident just gets forgotten."
This group of rich second-generations are truly friends for life.
Just from these few sentences, we can tell that they probably fool each other and deal with each other's families in this way.
Bai Jinshu felt that Old Wu's situation was not so serious that he needed an "outsider" to be present to prevent him from doing anything to him.
But He Qinyue on the other end of the phone felt really guilty and insisted that they did not help Bai Jinshu hide his whereabouts, so they had to help.
She did what she said and immediately came out of the bar and started calling other people, preparing to come to Bai Jinshu's house.
After dealing with the rich second generation, Bai Jinshu called Old Wu back.
Old Wu was much calmer than he expected. He just asked him seriously, "Where have you been? Your friend has been hesitant for more than ten days and I can't get in touch with him. Let's talk about it in detail after we meet."
Bai Jinshu hung up the phone and sighed with a headache.
It is indeed not a big deal for him to disappear frequently in the unknown space of the Foundation. Other exploration team members with simple social relationships can just disappear, but his profession is an actor.
Even though he has faded from the circle and there are few announcements, he disappears for dozens of days each time, which is really not a big deal.
I have to think of a reason to fool Old Wu.
After making the two phone calls, he belatedly felt a little hungry.
It was already late at night, with a bright moon hanging high outside the window. Bai Jinshu opened the refrigerator in his slippers and found that most of the fresh vegetables and meat in the refrigerator had been cleared out by the hourly auntie, but the few boxes of snail noodles that he threw aside were kept well by the auntie.
This stuff is too easy to make you fat, so normally he wouldn't even touch a pack of it.
But at this time, let alone takeout, even the nearest 711 probably doesn't have any fast food for sale. Having food is always better than nothing. Between almost starving to death and boiling water to cook noodles, Bai Jinshu quickly got over the psychological barrier.
During this time, I even heated up the oil in a pan and made two fried eggs.
"Would you like some chili oil buns?" He turned around and looked at Huai Jiamu.
"...No." Huai Jiamu stared at the red chili oil bag, his eyes vaguely revealing a look as if he was looking at an enemy.
"That's great, I'll double it." Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows, turned around, tore open two packets and poured all of them into his bowl.
Huai Jiamu doesn’t eat spicy food?
A layer of red chili oil floated on the surface of the bowl. When Bai Jinshu put the fried eggs on it, he was in a good mood and opened the window and the air conditioning system.
You can eat it, but you still have to destroy the body.
Disappearance is already a headache for Old Wu, and what if the disappeared artist is still hiding at home and eating snail noodles that he can't eat normally...
Bai Jinshu thought it would be better for him to be nicer to his agent.
After two packets of chili oil, by the time Bai Jinshu finished eating the snail noodles, some oil spots inevitably splashed on the chest of his clothes.
Bai Jinshu put the two bowls in the sink and said, "Wait for me to change my clothes."
"Okay, I'll wash the dishes." Huai Jiamu nodded.
"You can also wash dishes?" Bai Jinshu widened his eyes in surprise.
"...poet," Huai Jiamu paused for several seconds this time, "I have it in my memory."
"So you were able to take away the poet's memories after leaving the dungeon," Bai Jinshu blinked, "What about before that?"
“…That’s fine too.” This time Huai Jiamu remained silent for even longer.
That means the ones who appear here now are the evil god, the dark night emperor in [Romantic Contagion], the unknown god in [The Sky Is Falling], and Huai Jiamu from the poet's memory in [Blood, Flesh, Bitterness and Weakness]?
Among all these identities, only the poet can be considered an ordinary person.
"Do you still consider this as a fixed attribute?" Bai Jinshu muttered as he pushed open the door. "Why does it feel so big?"
Even for him, it was difficult to reach that state of complete immersion in the role outside the Foundation.
Except for She Mochu who left [Blood, Flesh, Weakness] this time, all other characters were pulled out of that special state the moment they left the special space.
She Mochu didn't know whether it was because he had used his identity too many times or because his experiences in [Blood, Flesh, Bitterness and Weakness] were too special, he always felt that he had a vague feeling that he was She Mochu and that She Mochu was him, an illusion.
Just like just now...
Although he also eats chili peppers, he would not go to the extent of putting two packets of chili peppers in Huai Jiamu's bowl just because he didn't eat chili peppers. But at that moment, his actions were ahead of his brain and he tore open two packets of chili oil and threw them into the bowl.
This behavior of adding several times the amount of seasoning when cooking should be She Mochu's habit.
Maybe it's really the aftereffect of [Custom Mask].
Bai Jinshu rubbed his forehead, somewhat doubting that the reason he had never encountered any problems before might be because he had never used a single identity for a long time, but had used them mixedly, which was why nothing had ever happened.
While I was changing clothes, there seemed to be a knock on the door.
"It should be He Qinyue, open the door." Bai Jinshu shouted at the door.
Old Wu has the key to his house, so he probably won't knock on the door.
Bai Jinshu was buttoning his clothes and opening the door to go out. The moment the bedroom door opened, he was met with a distorted face.
It’s Old Wu.
His agent was standing at the door, his shocked gaze passed from him to Huai Jiamu who had rolled up his sleeves, then to Bai Jinshu who had obviously changed his clothes, and then to Huai Jiamu whose hands were covered with water stains.
Bai Jin thought that at that moment Wu Zongling's CPU must have undergone extremely complex calculations, otherwise he would not have been able to say the following sentence.
Old Wu's pupils trembled, his expression twisted, and his tone was horrified: "Bai Jinshu, you haven't been secretly married in the past ten days, have you?"
Bai Jinshu:?
“You, you, you…” He covered his mouth and stammered, losing the ability to organize his words, “You… I… I thought that one day you might bring back a sister-in-law that your fans don’t know about, but I didn’t expect it to be a male sister-in-law… I didn’t expect that even I didn’t know about it…”
Bai Jinshu:? ?
Old Wu collapsed: "Have you gotten married in the past ten days? You kept this secret from me. Am I still your favorite agent?"
Bai Jinshu: ???
"...Have you ever been one?" he couldn't help but ask back.
"Brother Bai?" He Qinyue's voice came from behind Old Wu, "What do you mean by marriage or not?"
Okay, the second group of people is here.
In this situation, even if he had eight mouths, he couldn't explain it clearly. Old Wu lost his mind and asked, "Do you have another agent?"
Bai Jinshu: ...
"I have other favorites." He took a deep breath and said sincerely.
Now I have found an excuse for why he is always missing for ten or twenty days.
He looked at Huai Jiamu silently.
Yes, that's right, no problem, very reasonable.
He always disappears, which means he is dating someone behind his agent's back.
The author has something to say:
Lao Wu (pinching his philtrum and taking a deep breath): My socks, my shoes, my artist, my grandfather
Some people haven't done anything yet but are already guilty in everyone's mind, but they always find a reasonable reason to disappear (eyes moved)
