Chapter 2 Background
"I can't help with anything. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The fiery picture in his mind turned into darkness, and Zhou Ming sighed, his brows tightened.
As the "old man" attached to the default character Tie Qiang, Zhou Ming is not an all-knowing and all-powerful god, except for occasionally making one or two suggestions that are of some small benefit, most of the time, he can only stand by coldly.
Because.
He doesn't understand the technology of this world.
The way of production and life in this world is very unfamiliar to him.
The interpersonal relationships in this world are more indifferent than friendly.
The gaming experience he had accumulated before was almost useless here.
In this copy of "Money Empire", Zhou Ming is completely a novice.
Take a look at the game ratings -
Mission Map: Money Empire
Game Character: Tie Qiang
Money: 0
Lifespan: 22
Achievements earned: 0
Game Rating: F (Tie Qiang spent his short life in toil, he heard about the existence of money, but never had it)
0 achievements?
Zhou Ming's eyes widened and said to the system in his brain:
"System, you're not kidding me, no matter how you play this game, there will be a few achievement points, 0, what are you doing?"
"Host, this level is a challenge level, only money items will be counted in the score, and other items will not be counted in the score. ”
"You mean that if a character doesn't get money, the rating is 0 regardless of what the character achieves?"
"Yes, host. ”
Your sister's system!
Zhou Ming wanted to scold a little, is money so easy to obtain? In the entire 51st District, more than 300 underground mining areas, and millions of people, in the history of 500 years, a total of about 1,000 people have obtained money, an average of only two a year.
Divided by the million-level population base of District 51, the probability of getting money is 1 in 500,000.
Moreover, the identity of these 1,000 or so lucky people, most of them are the top managers of the "mining company", because of their credit for managing the mining area, they were rewarded with money by the nobles at the top.
Only a very small number of miners from the bottom can get the highest reward of "money" by participating in various killing competitions held by the upper nobles, and competing with players from other 50 districts who signed up for the Colosseum.
For example, Tie Qiang's third brother Tie Shan's "Game of Death" is just one of the many killing competitions.
Similarly, there are dozens of different competition rules such as "Death Speed", "The Hunger Games", "Labyrinth Brave", "Desert Island Survival", etc., but just to add more fun, killing competitions, which attract a large number of low-level people to sign up every year, and there is an endless stream.
These participants, like gamblers who buy lottery tickets, although the probability of winning the jackpot is about one percent, they all think that they will definitely win this prize.
Sorry, there is only one chance, and the dead don't have a second chance.
And the world of the copy of "Money Empire", after summarizing information through various channels, Zhou Ming found that this world is a utopian world established by idealists.
More than 600 years ago, the world was still a world with a prosperous economy, a developed culture, and a very advanced science and technology.
Its scientific and technological level is decades ahead of the earth where Zhou Ming is located, and it has realized artificial solar power generation, and has established a moon star base with astronauts stationed for a long time on the nearest moon star.
However, due to the fact that the contradictions between the two superpowers of the East and the West in various fields could not be reconciled and could only be resolved by means of war, so, on a quiet morning, war broke out and soon swept the world.
Advanced weapons such as hypersonic missiles, stealth fighters, unmanned aerial vehicles, bombers, and aircraft carriers were the first to be put into use.
A week after the war, the first nuclear weapon was launched from a strategic missile submarine under the sea, followed by intercontinental missiles, space-based weapons, electromagnetic pulse weapons, and super-high-yield nuclear weapons......
Three months later, World War III ended, and both superpowers ceased to exist.
The world's population of 12 billion has dropped to less than 1 billion, and most of them live in underground shelters.
Due to global climate change caused by large-yield nuclear weapons and surface pollution caused by nuclear and radioactive fallout, 90% of the planet's land area is no longer suitable for human habitation.
After a century-long nuclear winter, under the leadership of a strongman leader, the planet was revitalized and a unified regime was established.
But when integrating the various resources of this planet, the strongman leader found that the resources of this planet were running out of resources, which could not meet the needs of the development of a higher level of scientific and technological civilization, and that nuclear war that destroyed the world would not only extinguish the ambitions of some politicians, but also ruin the future of all mankind.
So, using the existing resources and technology at his disposal, this strongman leader divided the world into 52 districts, of which 51 districts are the bottom districts, 1 is the paradise district, and the 52 districts are strictly isolated from each other by some kind of high-tech device, and only the material transportation system is retained.
As for the flow of people, there can be intersections and exchanges between various low-level districts, except for a few high-level managers, and the free movement of people at the bottom is strictly restricted.
These restrictions did not cause much dissatisfaction, because the people in each of the 51 low-level districts are in a similar situation to each other, and they are all struggling to make ends meet.
Compared with the "paradise area", which is "rich in materials", "free of nuclear pollution", "has order", and is full of vitality and greenery, the other low-level areas are almost unattractive.
How can I get to Paradise?
Money.
As long as you have a piece of money, and then put it into the keyhole of the "Gate of Heaven", the Gate of Heaven will open for you.
……
How did Zhou Ming collect so much information about the above?
Radio, which is listened to from the radio with a radio.
And the radio worth 300 credits was bought by Tie Qiang with half of his savings at the suggestion of Zhou Ming, and he was scolded by his parents at that time, saying that he was a loser, but from several radio channels on the radio, all kinds of news and news still brought a lot of spiritual food to the family.
Including the valuable information that Zhou Ming heard about this world, as well as the third brother Tieshan, who likes to listen to the commentary of the "Game of Death" game the most, because he heard too much, he began to consciously exercise himself, and finally despite the dissuasion of his family, he signed up for the "Game of Death" with a total of 51 contestants, and in the end only 1 person could survive.
"Money, indeed, is the only thing that the people at the bottom use to ascend in this world, but heaven ......"
Zhou Ming smiled, this so-called paradise, terror is just a smokescreen used by the superior to paralyze and fool the people......
But it is undeniable that only the vast majority of the low-level people in District 51 have accepted the rhetoric on the radio, so people are either conscientious, hard-working, and make contributions that can be rewarded with money, and those low-level civilians who are unwilling to accept the status quo can also realize their dreams through various exciting "death matches".
Even though...... The probability of this dream coming true is very low.
Is there no other way to change the fate of an individual or a person?
No.
Probably not.
If there were, it would not have been possible for this 500-year-old utopian system to be working well and tending to be perfected and standardized.
In order to gather more information about this dungeon and try to get money, after thinking about it, or in injection mode, Zhou Ming opened another game.
……
"Tieqiang, 3BC94 mine, in that stone wall, there is a 30 kilogram of gold, worth 3000 credits, dig it out quickly. ”
"Tieqiang, 3BG26 ore site, there is a piece of high-grade uranium ore, the reserve is about 50 tons, you can earn 50,000 credits by mining all these ores, be sure to wear protective clothing, pay attention to its radioactivity. ”
"Tie Qiang, go and stop your father! tell him not to rush too far ahead, or tell him to wear a protective suit for mining, don't be afraid to break the protective suit, and buy him another set if it breaks!"
"Tie Qiang, persuade your eldest brother Tietou, don't go to the 3CK20 mining area to mine, there will be a collapse, and you won't be able to come back if you go. ”
"Tie Qiang, your mother has a severe SYR type 3 virus flu, this flu can only be cured with an expensive drug, it costs 30,000 credits, does your wife agree to take out this money?" After that, Tie Qiang and his wife had a fierce quarrel, and finally took out 8,000 credits with his two brothers, plus most of his father's savings, to cure his mother's cold.
"Tie Qiang, your brother is going to participate in "Game of Death", why don't you also participate in it?" Zhou Ming instigated Tie Qiang, but Tie Qiang, who was already the father of two children at this time, was silent for a few seconds, shook his head, and rejected the proposal.
"Tie Qiang, this mining area is very dangerous, you had an accident here in your last life, although ten years have passed, you still have to be careful. ”
"It's going to be fine, where there has been a lava eruption, the probability of another eruption is very small, and the titanium ore in this area is of high grade, and I have fished a lot of points here in the past three months. ”
Tie Qiang said with a relaxed face, and the high-speed rotating drill bit of the stone chisel in his hand, Weng hummed, and drilled towards a giant ore pillar.
However, after only a few drills, there was a sudden shaking above his head and under his feet, and countless dust and gravel fell like raindrops, accompanied by a loud bang, and in less than ten seconds, Zhou Ming's mind heard a prompt sound of "The game character has died and is exiting the game ......".
