Chapter 254: "The Last Lesson"
【In this distorted environment, people can't trust anyone. 】
[They will subconsciously become good and obedient because they are not encouraged to be creative from the beginning.]
If they stopped while moving, they were considered lazy.
[The teachers of Baisha used experience to confiscate their wills, and the trainees gradually became extensions of their limbs.]
[Sheep fell to the ground in the rain, and people were pushed forward. ]
[——They became projections in someone's eyes, and became figures in the dark that could not be resisted. They were deeply trapped in the trap called "excellence" and could never turn back.]
【They "vowed to fight to the death."】
【They are rewarded for their hard work. 】
[And behind this effort, the tower has collapsed. ]
[——In this advancing wave, light has never converged into another beam of light. ]
…
It was bright outside, and in an office on the top floor of a tall building, a man in a suit sighed at the black-haired girl.
"...I'm sorry, Ms. Lin Jiang, regarding our contract plan..."
"Do you want to terminate the contract?" Lin Jiang turned his head.
Compared to the copy, she now looked much more haggard, with dark circles under her eyes and a thin figure. She looked like an ordinary girl who was listless.
"Yes." The man nodded: "I think Miss Lin Jiang's current condition is no longer suitable for renewing the contract with Ojegebu, and our equipment supply to Miss Lin Jiang will also be terminated..."
Lin Jiang smiled and tapped the windowsill with her fingers.
Although she had no authority at all and indeed no power at all, the man who was speaking felt an extremely obvious sense of threat, pressing towards him like a wave.
"Ms. Lin Jiang, we..."
“Bang!”
Before he could finish his words, the door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and a white-haired man strode in.
"Mr. Michael, because of Miss Lin Jiang's momentary mistake, do you want to terminate the contract we have been negotiating for a month?" The white-haired man who entered the room asked the man in a suit with a serious tone.
"Mutual benefit is the purpose of our contract." Michael smiled awkwardly.
“But now Miss Lin Jiang has already failed once. Even if she can’t do it again like Miss Iris, the value she can bring to us is far less than before.
The weight is unbalanced, the deal fails, and the contract should be terminated, Mr. Qin."
Qin Er frowned, "Ms. Lin Jiang's strength is there. Even if she fails once, she still has a chance to rise again in the subsequent copies. Terminating the contract at this time is just a short-sighted act."
Michel glanced at Lin Jiang who was leaning against the windowsill.
Her pair of dark eyes were now staring at him quietly, with a hint of hidden madness in her calm expression.
He instantly retracted his gaze and shook his head: "I admit that we are suspected of crossing the river and destroying the bridge, but the subsequent results of Miss Lin Jiang's strength change are also written in our contract, and I am just a representative."
"Is there no room for negotiation?"
"I would like to sincerely apologize to you."
"Forget it, Qin Er." Lin Jiang said, "Remove it, then remove it. I really can't take on your [important responsibility] right now."
She deliberately emphasized the word "important responsibility" with a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Michel didn't say much, just bowed and turned away.
The steady footsteps soon left and the door was gently closed.
The cool breeze from the window blew in gently, lifting the girl's long black hair.
She sat by the window, head tilted, not saying a word, her smile mixed with some indescribable meaning.
Qin Er sighed.
“Humans are short-sighted,” he said.
"...I can understand the distrust of my partners." Lin Jiang smiled: "After all, it was me who failed. Everything was cleared and I had to start all over again. The cost of failure is too high. It is like helping a useless person from scratch. They don't dare to take the risk."
She tilted her head and looked through the glass at the people walking below the window, at the fountain of the Boss Rabbit statue in the central square, and at the children playing and playing nearby.
Everything in the world seems exceptionally good, as if nothing had happened.
It’s as if humans have never been involved in this “catastrophe”.
...if you ignore the live broadcast LCD screens that are everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Lin Jiang watched the scene quietly, pulling up her bangs that were blocking her view.
Michel was the seventh person to come to her to terminate her contract.
After she returned from the game copy and all her strength was cleared, these people swarmed over her like flies, wanting to terminate their contracts with her.
The organizations that had originally agreed to form a team in the seventh world and provide her with equipment and props all backed out. Even those who chose not to terminate the contract were still asking for a huge sum of money, trying to take advantage of her predicament.
There are many people who add icing on the cake, but few who provide timely help. This is the way things are in the world.
She couldn't blame these people for being short-sighted, because the time cycle of the game copy was short, and the world game changed rapidly, so it was natural for people to focus on the present. She failed once, and she had fewer opportunities to rise again. She needed to accumulate experience in one world after another, so it was normal for these organizations to seek other masters.
"Changying has been sending people to keep an eye on the human progress bar." Qin Er said: "Although its value changes all the time, the moment you died, the value of the progress bar suddenly dropped by 1.27%."
"1.27%." Lin Jiang's eyes flashed with astonishment. She chewed on the number carefully: "...It's amazing."
