Chapter 001 Novice Assessment
[Dear third-class citizen Baitao:
Congratulations, you still have 11:59:59 to go until you become an adult.
Once you become an adult, you will no longer be subject to the protection of minors laws. Please find a job as soon as possible, otherwise you will lose your citizenship and be auctioned off.
Note: For auction details, please refer to Article 11 of the Dream City Borer Handling Rules.
Sincerely, City Hall
Attached below is the specific content of Rule 11 of the Tree Insect Handling Rules: You will be extremely lucky to become the raw material for major restaurants in the City of Dreams.
Without even a moment's joy at her resurrection, Bai Tao will now face the challenge of finding a job in a strange world within 12 hours.
Coincidentally, Bai Tao was also looking for a job when she died.
During graduation season, Bai Tao graduated with a Ph.D. and died in a car accident on the way to an interview at a large company.
Chosen by the world consciousness, he was sent to another world as an undercover agent.
The world consciousness gave her two options, one was yes and the other was also yes.
Bai Tao didn't choose either of them, and when the countdown ended, she was still "traveled" through time.
Then Hakuto transformed into Hakuto, a third-class citizen of Dream City.
On the bed is another [White Peach].
The original owner's breathing stopped, and he lay flat on the bed, with his hands crossed on his lower abdomen, looking peaceful.
The body was still warm, obviously he had just died.
The paper with the two big words "suicide note" written on it was held between her fingertips.
【The neighbor is dangerous, be careful of him. 】
[I got the job offer, I have a job, I want to survive, yes, survive. ]
【Avoid neighbors and go to work quietly...】
[Why? Why? Why? I can see him as soon as I open the door? ]
【He keeps staring at me!!!】
[What should I do? I can't go out. My neighbors will kill me if I go out.]
[Yes, guardian, I have a guardian, who is my guardian? Where are you? ]
[No, I can’t find a guardian, or I’ll be eaten…]
[If you can’t get out, then die, die die die...]
The word "death" is all at the end, and the color becomes brighter red as it goes on.
Bai Tao almost doesn't recognize the word "death" anymore.
The suicide note was Bai Tao's last act of madness before his death.
There was a certain degree of pollution, and Bai Tao's vision was filled with the word death, and it took her a while to calm down.
The system prompts you belatedly, and the task is: find a job and survive.
This is a plug-in given to Bai Tao by the world consciousness. The system will help Bai Tao survive in the world of ghost stories.
I didn't see any assistance, but the mission came first.
The world consciousness told her that the world Bai Tao is in now is the main world of rule-based weird stories. Rule-based weird stories have invaded the real world and are constantly dragging people to their deaths (crossed out) to pass levels.
The more humans die, the deeper the real world will be invaded, until the erosion is complete and the real world will become part of the world of rules and ghost stories.
To be honest, there is no benefit and Bai Tao is unwilling to do the mission.
But no one comes out of a crack in a stone. In the real world, Bai Tao still has relatives and a few good friends.
Take one step at a time and try to survive first.
Bai Tao quickly accepted the fact that she had traveled through time.
By traveling through time and space without occupying another person's body, Bai Tao does not have to endure moral torture.
But at the same time, she has no memories of the original owner and knows nothing about the world of ghost stories.
And - what to do with this huge corpse?
Dismember, dismember? Flush down the drain?
Open the tap and stop the water.
Great, at least I don’t have to dismember the body.
Let’s put the matter of the corpse aside for now.
This world is called the world of rule-based ghost stories, so naturally there are rules everywhere. Resisting the urge to check the computer first, Bai Tao chose to check the rules first.
There are two sets of rules that the original owner needs to follow.
Code of Conduct for Minors
In order to ensure that all minors can successfully and safely reach adulthood, please be sure to abide by the following rules:
1. As a minor, you can do whatever you want.
2. The City Hall assigns a guardian to each minor. The guardian will protect you and you can make any request to the guardian, but please remember that rights and obligations are relative.
3. Children should not go out at night and should stay in their rooms from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am.
4. Guardians are dangerous. The closer you are to them, the more dangerous it is. Please do not get close to them.
5. The City Hall is a support and home for minors, providing them with basic living security.
6. Minors who violate the regulations are not protected by the Minors Protection Act.
There is also a set of rules on the back of the letter from City Hall:
Code of Conduct for Third-Class Citizens in the City of Dreams
As a citizen of Dream City, you must strictly abide by the following rules:
1. Every adult citizen must have a job. If you don't want to work, that's okay.
2. Please stay at home at night. If you don’t have a home, you can also sleep on the streets.
3. Third-class citizens, with only one interview opportunity per month.
4.▆▆▆, ▆▆, ▆▆▆▆.
…
For the fourth and subsequent rules, Bai Tao is not an adult and cannot be seen.
Bai Tao has read many rule-based ghost story novels. In some novels, there are wrong rules on the rule paper, and following the wrong rules will pollute the world of ghost stories.
For example, the first rule of the Code of Conduct for Minors [As a minor, you can do whatever you want] seems to be contrary to the following rules 2, 3, 4 and 6, and is a wrong rule.
But there is another explanation, 'can' do whatever it wants, and when an auxiliary verb is added, the meaning changes.
In conjunction with the two auxiliary verbs "can" that appear in the first and second articles of the "Code of Conduct for Third-Class Citizens in Dream City".
Bai Tao inferred that the true meaning of the first rule of the "Code of Conduct for Minors" might be - you can do whatever you want, but you need to bear the consequences yourself.
It's like playing a word game.
Bai Tao came to open the curtains, and her good eyesight allowed her to see a flyer pasted on the glass of a restaurant outside.
XX restaurant’s signature dish – grilled whole person, delivered to your door, only 998 today!
The character "人" is highlighted by using double-sized font.
We're not kidding, the restaurant grills real people.
In addition, Bai Tao also saw a monster in security uniform eating raw meat with big mouthfuls - blood splattered everywhere, adding a touch of blood to the wall that was already dotted with dark red liquid.
The monster is very sharp, and the security monster has begun to look around.
Bai Tao took a step back and pulled the curtains back together before being discovered by the security guard.
Bai Tao thought that as an ordinary human being, she might not be able to bear the consequences of doing whatever she wanted.
Except for the first article, all other rules in the "Code of Conduct for Minors" are protective rules.
The two codes of conduct and the "Minors Protection Act" whose content is unknown are her amulets.
The amulet will expire in 12 hours, so she needs to find a job before then. Given how much the monsters love human flesh and blood, if she loses her citizenship, Bai Tao may not even live to be auctioned off.
The city hall gave her 12 hours to find a job, but she only had six hours
Children cannot go out at night, and Bai Tao needs to find a job before 6pm.
People from modern society, when thinking about finding a job, first think of major apps and computers. Bai Tao's eyes turned to the electronic products in the rental house.
The original owner lived in a small rental house with very little furniture, but she had a cell phone and a computer.
The phone has no password, but under its smart phone appearance, its functions are even more simple than No*ah.
I can only make and receive calls, I can't even send text messages.
The same is true for computers, the desktop is a recruitment website.
There's nothing to do except browsing information on recruitment websites.
The plan to find world information through the Internet failed.
The recruitment website page is poorly designed, as if it were an incomplete function developed for some small game.
——You can only see what the game makers want you to see.
Haozaila Hotpot Restaurant is recruiting human waiter supervisors, with a monthly salary starting from 10,000 yuan, no probation period, food and accommodation provided, and direct employment without an interview.
Xinxin BBQ Restaurant is recruiting human secretaries, with a monthly salary starting from 9,000 yuan, no probation period, food and accommodation provided, and direct employment without an interview.
…
The first five pages only have job postings for restaurants.
They only recruit one race - humans.
The treatment is good, but it's a high salary trap.
After sifting through the dense recruitment information, Bai Tao found three suitable jobs.
Daming Entertainment, agent assistant, salary 2000r/month, food and accommodation included, one-month probation period, salary halved during this period, direct employment after the interview.
Cashier at Jiajiadao chain supermarket, salary 1500r/month, food and accommodation included, no probation period, direct employment after interview.
Zhenyouqian Bank, customer service, salary 500r/month + basic salary, food and accommodation provided, no probation period, direct employment after interview.
A monthly salary of 1,500 or less is the normal salary in this world.
Da Meng Entertainment pass, Bai Tao does not want to gamble whether the probation period meets the requirements of the City Hall for the company. Now there are only two jobs.
Choose one of the two. Bai Tao pressed the "I want an interview" button next to the Real Money Bank.
"drop--"
A red warning window pops up.
【You have no interview opportunities this month! 】
As expected, the original owner wrote in his suicide note that he had received the job offer.
The rules also stipulate that third-class citizens only have one interview opportunity per month.
Practice brings out the truth. Bai Tao discovered that her task was not to find a job, but to find the company where the original owner was going to work and replace her in the company.
Bai Tao was not in a hurry to leave the computer and continued to look for more information from the recruitment website.
He started refreshing the page constantly. Bai Tao had already memorized more than 500 recruitment information.
The recruitment information of Haozailai Hotpot Restaurant has disappeared.
Website recruitment is real-time!
Five minutes later, the recruitment information for Xinxin BBQ Restaurant also disappeared.
Human recruiters are willing to risk their lives to work in restaurants rather than take interviews with Dream Entertainment, Jiajiadao Supermarket, and Zhenyouqian Bank.
Bai Tao labeled these three companies as danger, turned off the computer, and now was the time to look for job openings.
During the initial search, Bai Tao did not see the recruitment notice, and Bai Tao was sure that she had not missed any clues.
Then the original owner hid the recruitment form.
The rental house was small but very tidy, with almost no place to hide anything. When Bai Tao woke up and searched for clues, she had already turned over all the possible hiding places, but did not find the job posting.
Looking at the original owner's body, Bai Tao said sorry in her heart and took off the original owner's clothes.
——Still no.
Where else could I hide something? A dark room? A compartment? A mezzanine?
Bai Tao shook her head. The biggest shortcoming of smart people is that they tend to complicate things.
Judging from the suicide note, the original owner was not a smart girl and she would not have any complicated ways to hide things.
The original owner was planning to commit suicide, and she no longer needed the job offer, so she didn't hide it, but disposed of it.
Bai Tao started looking for a trash can.
It was very clean inside, as if it had just been cleaned, without any garbage at all.
There are neighbors outside, so——
Bai Tao tiptoed towards the door, gently pressed the door handle, and pushed the door open a little.
Through the gap, Bai Tao saw a bag with the words "City Hall Garbage Recycling" written on it.
What Bai Tao was looking for was in the bag.
Almost at the same time as Bai Tao opened the door, the door opposite also opened.
A ferocious dog head drooled and approached quickly: "Xiao Baitao, long time no see."
Baitao: "!!!"
Get the garbage bag back at the door as quickly as possible.
Then he slammed the door shut.
The dog outside was still talking, but Bai Tao no longer had the heart to listen. She opened the garbage bag, which contained the original owner's household garbage.
Takeaway boxes, tissues, empty bottles…
Bai Tao picked up the takeaway box and found the recruitment form was underneath it.
It is a small card the size of your palm.
[Name: Recruitment form for Nadusong Express Company (disposable prop)]
【Description: An interview opportunity, a map. Take it, find a courier company, go for the interview, if you succeed, you have a job, if you fail, you die.】
On the front of the card is a photo of the Nadusong Express Building. The address of Nadusong Express is No. 444, Taihai Road.
On the back is a map with navigation function.
The moment Bai Tao got the card, fireworks appeared before her eyes.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
[Congratulations to the host for completing the novice test and obtaining the qualification to use this system! ]
【drop--】
[The system is binding, please wait! ]
