A Disgusting World Begging for Everything
The moment before he was forced to go offline, Jiang Chen withdrew 500 of the 509 gold coins in his backpack.
"Ding!"
"Information reminder: 250000 yuan has been transferred to your Huaxia citizen account today (Hope Virtual Bank)"
A notification popped out from the citizen identity bracelet on Jiang Chen's left hand.
One gold coin was worth 500 yuan, so 500 gold coins were 250000 yuan. There was no intermediate fee deducted from the process. Moreover, the transfer was done by the virtual bank that came with the World of Hope, so no one could check the account flow.
Very good. On the first day of "World of Hope", Jiang Chen had earned 250,000 yuan. This was not including the equipment in his backpack. Bronze equipment was the elite equipment of the novice village, while Silver equipment was the 'divine weapon' of the novice village. The price of selling it would definitely be heaven defying.
Once Jiang Chen reached LV10, he would sell all his equipment. If he could earn three million, he would be able to apply for a permit to stay in the third-tier protection zone.
There was an unpleasant name outside the reserve, and that was the slums. Dirty and messy was the best explanation for this place.
Jiang Chen lived on the third floor of an abandoned building. There were many buildings here, all of which used to be office buildings. But now, all the big companies had entered the protected area, and these office buildings were no longer managed by anyone. They didn't have to pay rent and could sleep anywhere they wanted.
Even though China had a large population, there were more skyscrapers and a steel forest.
It was good that they did not have to pay rent, but it was also very dangerous. There were too many outlaws in the slums of this era. They killed people and robbed things. The only good thing was that they did not eat people now.
Jiang Chen took a bath. Although he was still wearing the same dirty clothes, he felt much more comfortable.
Many people in the slums didn't bathe for a long time, but Jiang Chen felt that even though they were poor, they had to be like humans. If they didn't bathe every day, they were no different from animals.
Dinner was simple. There was a large pile of potatoes on the ground, Jiang Chen's daily food.
Although he was rich now, he did not dare to indulge in debauchery in the convenience stores and restaurants in the slums. If he attracted the attention of someone with ill intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Ah!"
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside the house.
Jiang Chen followed the bracelet's faint light and walked to the window to take a glance outside.
Under the dim light of the solar lamps, Jiang Chen saw three men surrounding a woman.
There were some scattered living supplies on the ground.
This woman must have been followed when she went shopping at night. Now that she was surrounded, she was in danger. After all, she was a woman.
This was also the reason why Jiang Chen didn't dare to improve his meals.
Although it was slightly safer for men to go out, if the other party wanted money, then things would be troublesome. If you were targeted by such people in the slums, you would live in fear all day long.
He was not afraid of those who were arrogant, but he was afraid of those who did not care about their lives.
......
The three men tore at each other crazily, ignoring the screams of the victims.
They were brazenly doing something unsightly in the middle of the road.
There were definitely more than a few hundred people living in the nearby buildings, but no one would make a move.
It wasn't that they were cold, but that they were helpless.
If those three people were from any organization, once they were injured or died here, this area would not be peaceful. Those people from those organizations were cruel and perverted, and they would do anything.
No one would find trouble for him.
"What a disgusting era!"
Jiang Chen sighed deeply. He really didn't know if he was still a human now.
At this moment, another man ran over from another road downstairs and shouted,"Quick, let's go. The iron lump is coming!”
Then, the three men ran into an alley in a panic.
The iron lump referred to the mechanical guards, which were the things that China had arranged in the slums to maintain order. They had high intelligence AI and could basically analyze the case and communicate.
Although Jiang Chen really wanted to say that this bunch of trash had never done anything serious, he had to admit that it was precisely because of these iron lumps that the slums hadn't become lawless.
At least no one dared to do anything out of line in front of the mechanical guards.
The mechanical guards in the slums had the ability to judge whether a human had committed a crime or not. Once they were judged, they would shoot without hesitation and kill him.
The Chinese side could not manage such a large number of people in the slums, so they handed them all over to the mechanical guards. They were really responsible.
In fact, it was not only China. Other countries were the same. Their resources were limited, and they could not care about everyone. Retreating to the protected area was also the most helpless move.
Now that the crack in the South Pole was expanding, loud roars often came from inside, like thunder, spreading across half the world.
Everyone knew that it was the voice of a creature from another world because it was too close to the time predicted by the scientists.
It had taken twenty-five years to develop World of Hope, and it was now the twenty-fifth year since the rift had appeared. The thirty year deadline was just around the corner.
Jiang Chen didn't know if the arrival of the foreign world would really destroy the world. All he wanted to do now was to enter the protected area and leave this disgusting place.
After steaming the potatoes, Jiang Chen ate a few to fill his stomach.
In the meantime, Jiang Chen used his watch to log into World of Hope's official forum, ready to see if anything major had happened.
The moment he opened the page, Jiang Chen saw a message that had been written in millions of comments.!!》
Hmm?
Someone had reached Level 9?
Jiang Chen was undoubtedly the first player to reach LV10, but he didn't expect that someone else had already reached LV9.
The high-level players in Zhaoge Guild were only Level 7. He had thought that the other players would be at the same level, but to his surprise, some of them had awakened a good talent.
The post was posted three hours ago, when Jiang Chen had just arrived at Broken Water Cliff. From this, it could be seen that this LV9 fellow's talent was extremely high. In fact, his leveling time was only two to three hours slower than Jiang Chen's.
Sure enough, the world never lacked geniuses.
Below, there was a row of comments.
"This is news from the Goryeo District!”
"F * ck, the highest level in my novice village is only LV7. There's actually someone in Korea who's already LV9?”
"The level of the Cold Palace in Starter Village #1147 has just reached LV9.”
"There are nearly seven billion people in China. Is it not even comparable to a tiny place? Men, report!"
"Novice Village #45, Qingfeng Weeping Lv.9 reporting!”
"Novice Village #642, Glazed Cup LV9 reporting!”
"Novice Village 524, China Army Spirit Lv9 reporting!”
"Novice Village No. 1, Beacon Fists Vassals LV9 reporting!”
"Novice Village #9527, Red Veil Tassel Lv. 9 reporting!”
......
After that, there were all the reports about the number of novice villages, and more and more players left comments.
Jiang Chen laughed at himself. He had always thought that the players in Starter Village 9527 were only around LV7, but he didn't expect that someone had already reached LV9 two hours ago.
But then he understood. Indeed, the population of Hua Xia was close to seven billion. There was no lack of talents, and he was just one of them.
