Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Reality Forum Style (Tian Fang + Li Ying’s Perspectives…)
Tian Fang's copy cooldown period is about to end.
Unsure of what the next copy would be, she didn't dare to relax at all during this period.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will enter the new copy tomorrow.
In the group on the mobile phone, both Cai Qin and Zhao Jiayi sent messages.
[Cai Qinmei]: Sister Fang, Jiayi, you must collect business cards carefully. It's hard for us to be assigned to the same copy. There are so many people collecting business cards now, it really can save your life.
[Little Zhao Nannan]: Auntie Tian, Sister Cai [hug], let’s cheer together!
Tian Fang thought about it and replied.
Tian Fang: Did you see the post on the forum? I sent it to you.
[Tian Fang]: When I enter the dungeon tomorrow, if I can survive, I want to go to Ghost City to rent a house and look for a job.
[Bubble Hot Spring Hotel] Three-Day Guide & Return to Ghost City Rental and Job Search Information, Personal Speculations
Tian Fang was reading the post slowly. She put her phone on a stand, enlarged the font, and slowly wrote down the post on a piece of paper while reading it on the table.
During the cool-down period of the dungeon, apart from the fixed daily exercise time, eating and sleeping time, she spent the rest of her time on posting.
As people get older, their acceptance of new things will decrease, but for players of the weird dungeon, they have to keep learning almost non-stop.
After each copy, exercise your physical strength, supplement your knowledge, learn strategies, and check intelligence.
At the beginning, Tian Fang had a hard time learning. She had been doing physical work for so many years. The only times she had access to pen and paper and needed to write were when she received her monthly salary and wrote down the time and name when she completed cleaning and disinfection work every day.
She hasn't studied for many, many years.
But now, this matter does not seem so difficult, and she can also extract useful information from large amounts of text.
There are so many useful things in this post for Tian Fang!
For more in-depth rental information, the key point is that some players have now become Ping An Real Estate’s rental agents!
You can find a job in the ghost city, and as long as you find a job, you will not be pulled into the dungeon.
This is great news for a large number of ordinary players.
Tian Fang's heart was pounding. The copy was still a little difficult for her. It would be nice to be able to work and live a stable life, even in a ghost city, without life-and-death crisis!
She slowly read through the main post, and then saw a reply from the perspective of a companion on the second floor who had gone through the dungeon with the original poster [Your Yingzi is Here]. Then the original poster of the dungeon who had posted yesterday came to help prove that they were companions in the same dungeon.
On the front floors, people are either sitting on the sofas or occupying seats, while others just quickly read the dungeon guide and start replying.
[The original poster and the girl on the second floor are the couple pretending to be a couple. You two are pretty lucky. It seems like the girl is in her rookie protection period. Of the three groups of players, you two are the only ones who can frequently encounter Luo Qing. And you got an extra afternoon tea experience compared to the other groups. I guess your dungeon clearance rating will be higher.]
Looking to buy Ping An Real Estate business cards! Highlight! I saw other players claim they got them with the help of the couples group. Do you have any extras? High price!
Oh my god, after reading your three groups' guides, I'm completely skeptical about hot springs now. And you even described them so meticulously. This dungeon's hidden rules are ridiculous. If it weren't for your couples' group not noticing them, the other groups might have been as unlucky as the deceased.
Tian Fang scrolled down and found that after the first few dozen items, there were players who were attracted by the "job information".
[Holy crap! Someone's already looking for a job in Ghost City? You guys are seriously not afraid of death.]
[Wait a minute? What? I don't have to go into dungeons to work? I'll do it, I'll do it, let me work, I love working, I love it so much!]
It's hard to describe how I feel reading this post; it feels like a dream. Instances have always been a bit of a nightmare to me. As long as I'm alive, I have to keep entering the loop, and when one instance ends, I have to prepare for the next. Now you're telling me that as long as I work in Ghost City, I don't have to enter the instance even after the cooldown period. I want to cry. Damn, instance! If you wanted to get me to work there, you should have told me earlier. You didn't have to use force on me. I don't have a job in real life anyway.
My heart sank, my hands trembled. I just saw this job search post and fell to the floor. I just got up. @OP, change the title of this post. Just say you can find a job in Ghost City without entering a dungeon. More people will read it.
[The above person's advice is bad. Brother Yingzi has only given three cases so far, and they were just starting out. They can't prove that working in Ghost City is completely risk-free.]
[So far, I quite agree with the point made by Yingzi in the main post: "Ghost City recruits players as immigrants and labor, and dungeons are a means of screening immigrants." The strange world has changed a lot recently, and from my personal experience and reading many recent dungeon guides, it seems the death rate has decreased compared to the past two years, right?]
[Now I can rent a house and work. Friends, I'm going to enter the dungeon in two days. Although I don't have a business card, I plan to bravely enter the ghost city. I'll give it a try and never have to enter the dungeon again.]
[I have a question. Yingzi mentioned in the main post that there's a player working for Ping An Real Estate. So, they're one of ours, right? We can't get Luo Qing's business card, but we can get this player's business card, right?]
This post in the Rugui Forum is gaining popularity at an unprecedented speed, and several posts discussing job hunting in Guicheng have been opened on the main interface of the forum.
If it were mentioned before that most players would rent a house in Ghost City and obtain temporary resident status, they would still be tempted but not take action.
But now it’s different. There is a possibility that one no longer has to enter a strange dungeon and fight for life.
The sooner you try, the sooner you rent a house and find a job, the sooner you can save your life. So what are you hesitating about?
Even if you don’t have a business card, you still have to work hard!
In Tian Fang's small group, Zhao Jiayi and Cai Qin also excitedly looked at the content of the post and started discussing it.
*
Li Ying had received many replies to her previous strategy posts, but this was the first time that there were so many messages in the background that it was almost impossible to read them all.
Individual wisdom is limited, but collective wisdom is infinite. Li Ying flipped through the pages one by one.
Seeing those extremely emotional replies, he felt the same way. When they heard yesterday that Liu Yanran and two other official comrades could work without entering the dungeon, their first reaction was disbelief. It took them a long time to calm down. At that moment, it seemed as if the day had finally dawned and the clouds had finally cleared to reveal the moon.
But such happiness came too suddenly. Li Yingxin believed that the strange world behind this had a deeper purpose.
Maybe it's a fusion of worlds, maybe it's something else.
In the post, Li Ying originally inserted a picture in addition to the long guide and sharing.
A sketch of Luo Qing's appearance.
However, after the post was published, the picture disappeared inexplicably, as if it had never existed.
His eyes dimmed slightly. When contacting the official, including last night, Li Ying had specifically asked Liu Yanran why the official had not yet released a portrait of Luo Qing since Brother Hongxing had posted a reminder before the start of the [Bubble Hot Spring Hotel] copy.
There are already so many players, including official players, who have rented houses in Ghost City. With so many people describing the characters together, even if no one has artistic talent, a professional portrait artist should be able to draw a portrait.
When Li Ying asked this question, the official players present all showed an awkward expression.
In the end, Liu Yanran gave him the answer.
"The portrait has been around for a long time. Initially, the authorities were worried it was a decoy for a mysterious world, so they kept it secret. The portrait was actually included in the post on the Red Star account."
"Also, the post you were supposed to see should have included the words 'The portrait of Aboriginal Luo Qing is as follows.'"
Li Ying was stunned. "That is to say, the forum automatically deleted the portrait and description of Luo Qing."
"That's right. You have to know that there was no lag when the post was published, but the post, portrait and description we saw were gone." Sui Yan added.
Now, Li Ying tried it manually herself and found that it was indeed true.
The pictures in the main building disappeared automatically without a trace, as if they were automatically detected and swallowed up. Li Ying couldn't figure out the reason for the time being and could only bury this secret in her heart.
Could it be that he was worried that too many people would come and disturb Luo Qing?
His thoughts drifted, he shook his head, and continued to look at the replies.
Li Ying's eyes fixed on the content of a reply.
First, I'd like to thank the original poster, Yingzi, and the couple on the second floor. Your kindness helped the other two groups survive. Although you encountered Luo Qing this time, you relied more on your own abilities and caution. It's thanks to people like you that we've saved the precious lives of several compatriots.
Putting aside the previous section of the guide, I'd like to discuss the latter part regarding renting and working in the Ghost City, and Yingzi's personal speculation. The recent changes in the dungeon often shock me. I'm always willing to speculate about the dungeon with the utmost malice, so I can't help but pour cold water on it. The dungeon has been harvesting the lives of our compatriots for five years without stopping. Recently, however, renting and finding jobs have suddenly become possible again, which forces us to consider the underlying motive. If renting and working truly allow players to escape the dungeon's control, then the question arises: why? Why? Is the dungeon so kind? Is it just for cheap labor?
We're constantly exposed to the customs and habits of a strange world in dungeons, but everyone should be aware that this world seems to be drawing closer to us. Take, for example, the codewords mentioned by players in the #￥% Wedding Banquet dungeon. In that dungeon, the indigenous groom can answer many of our real-life online questions. Time synchronization, and the gradual synchronicity of culture, is not necessarily a good thing.
All of this demonstrates the close proximity between the two worlds. The large number of players renting, working, and migrating to Ghost City seems to be just the first step. What's next? Will it be an invasion from the strange world? It's likely to gradually invade and devour us!
It was [Shanshan Bulaichi] who replied. This female player is also a well-known high-level player in the forum. I heard that she is an older sister.
It has been rumored that this elder sister's lover was also a player, but later died in a dungeon. Sister Shanshan hates dungeons to the core, but is also a die-hard supporter of the player mutual aid faction.
Li Ying pursed his lips as he looked at her reply. Since he had concluded that the two worlds were merging, he naturally thought about it more deeply, but his judgment was more conservative.
However, in the post, he didn't even mention the fusion of the worlds. Instead, it was Sister Shanshan who analyzed it from various clues and information and made an even more terrifying guess.
Whether it is fusion, engulfment, or invasion, none of these three answers is good for real society.
He seemed to have sensed the coming of the vortex of the storm, but in the calm time before that, he had to try his best to find a way to survive.
Li Ying sighed. If she wanted to know more, she had to go deeper into the strange world.
Judging from the recent frequent changes in the strange copies, time is probably running out.
June 7th, reality.
Tian Fang got up quietly. A few days ago, she saw a notice posted in the community elevator asking people to lower the volume and stop renovations for college entrance examination candidates. She no longer used a blender to make soy milk, but instead made soy milk powder. She also cut the recently braised beef shank and steamed buns in a pot.
I'm going to enter a dungeon today, so I have to eat more high-calorie food.
After breakfast, Tian Fang cleaned up and looked around at the things in the house. The bedding and a suitcase for renting a house had already been packed and put into the backpack space. She also prepared a lot of food she cooked herself.
She held the business card in her hand and sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for the copy notification.
Tian Fang sent a message in the group in the morning, but Cai Qin and Xiao Zhao did not reply. On the day when the cooling-off period expires, basically no players will sleep, so they are probably pulled into the dungeon.
She took a deep breath and silently prayed for this copy.
The next second, a copy prompt appeared in front of Tian Fang's eyes and ears at the same time.
bite!
