In a remote and narrow alley.

"One fifth of the tooth moon, finally found ......"

After seeing the light white crescent-shaped mark on the stone wall, Zhou Ming nodded, his subordinates did not forget his explanation because they came to the upper area.

With an extra pen in hand, he added two strokes to this crescent marker, turning it into a full moon.

……

Three days later.

A clown-like man in a cloak costume, flared sleeves, cropped pants, and a clown-like face with makeup on his face walked into a small area, looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that he was not being followed, he entered a house.

Squeak.

The door opened.

The man entered the room, and after Zhou Ming locked the door, he turned his head to look at the clown man, and said two seconds later: "You are Tianlong?"

Ye Tianlong, one of the five subordinates he sent to the upper district, has a calm personality, is decisive, and quite decisive in his chest, but he can take charge alone, and is one of his most effective subordinates.

And he was loyal, and the things he gave him were always carried out without discount, so after seeing the change in the mark, he immediately used the previously agreed method to find himself.

The clown man nodded, his eyes flickered, and he said with a very excited expression: "Boss, you are finally here, and my brothers and I have been looking forward to this day." ”

Ten years have passed, and he has never forgotten his mission when he first entered the upper area.

Zhou Ming poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, Ye Tianlong was flattered to take it, Zhou Ming beckoned him to sit down, and said cordially: "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk, don't be too restrained, like a friend, talk to me about your situation over the years." ”

Ye Tianlong sat down and narrated his life in the upper district in the past ten years.

100,000 yuan, after deducting medical expenses, the remaining 90,000 yuan, save a little money, even if you don't have a job, you can live a carefree twenty or thirty years in the upper district, there is no problem at all, even if the prices here are very high.

However, it is full of all kinds of games and gambling in the upper area, which is indeed too easy for people to become addicted, and Zhou Ming doesn't know if Ye Tianlong has become like a local, thinking about making a big fortune overnight with a small amount all day long.

"I gamble twice once in a while, but I don't play much, and I have a stable job with a decent income. ”

"What kind of job and how is the treatment?"

"I have good driving skills, and I work as a driver for a nobleman for 500 dollars a month. ”

That's pretty good.

Zhou Ming secretly said in his heart, comparing nurse Lanna, she has worked in Angel Hospital for sixty years, and her salary is 350.

In addition, Zhou Ming also learned that perhaps due to the shortage of labor, it is not difficult to find a job in the upper area, and there is no need to spend money to buy, and each noble castle manor has to recruit maids, male attendants, gardeners, housekeepers, bodyguards and drivers, as well as some hospitals, game companies, TV stations and other institutions in the game city, which also have many employees.

Another reason why jobs are easier to find is that the consumer class in the upper classes far exceeds the productive class.

It can even be said that the entire upper area is a world of pure consumption.

Vegetables, grains, meat...... Close to 100 percent, imported from District 52 or elsewhere.

Daily necessities, home appliances, industrial products...... Most of them are also imported from District 52 or other districts.

As for production...... If it is fed by 52 districts, the entire planet, more than 80% of the money, is concentrated in the upper zone here, and no more consumption is carried out, and the cycle of production-consumption-production is completed, but all production-production-production-production, money only circulates in one direction, and this utopian world has long collapsed and collapsed.

Therefore, don't scold the rich for being extravagant and wasteful, they don't spend, the money is all in their hands, and the poor have jobs.

"What about the others? How are the others doing?"

Zhou Ming asked about the situation of the other subordinates, and he sent a total of five people up, four men and one woman, in addition to Ye Tianlong, there were four people.

"They're all fine. ”

"Jin Biao works as a maintenance clerk in an aircraft repair company, with a higher salary than me, and last year he also got a pilot's license and can fly an airplane. ”

"Barbol went to a game company, worked as a security guard, traveled a lot, was not in the upper floor most of the time, and would come back about once every two weeks. ”

"Chen Chao, she has changed, she has become vain and greedy, she married a rich man last year, and asked us not to disturb her new life...... She is no longer the Chen Chao she used to be. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ming was silent for a while, remembering the smart, bold, capable and careful female subordinate he used to have...... Shaking his head: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." ”

"Boss, you gave her 100,000 yuan, and she repaid you like this?

Ye Tianlong gritted his teeth and said.

"She saved my life, and she deserves her reward...... Okay, don't talk about her, what about Hao Fei, how is Hao Fei's situation, why didn't you talk about him?"

Hao Fei, like Ye Tianlong, is one of Zhou Ming's two most important people, and even thinks that Hao Fei's potential is greater than Ye Tianlong, because this kid is very smart, and he can be called the smartest one among all the people Zhou Ming has ever seen, with strong learning ability, flexibility, and good at using his brain, and can always come up with all kinds of wonderful ideas.

But this kid's weakness is also very obvious, that is, he is not very calm, and he can even be said to be a little jumpy, arrogant, and a little conceited (of course, many smart people have this common problem), so his popularity is not very good.

Hao Fei ...... He was taken away by the Zero, and if there had been no accident, he would have been dead. Ye Tianlong said.

What the?

Zhou Ming was taken aback and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Ye Tianlong told the story, it turned out that after entering the upper area, Hao Fei was deeply attracted by all kinds of "games", and he immediately began to study the rules, analyze, and bet, ready to make a big profit.

Not to mention, in terms of gambling, Hao Fei does have a certain talent, from the beginning of ten votes and ten losses, to the later successfully grasped some rules, to vote for ten wins one, ten wins for two, to the last vote for ten wins three amazing success rate, in just half a year, Hao Fei's wealth has increased from less than 100,000 money to 1 million.

With a net worth of 1 million, you can go to the game bureau, apply for a game card, register as a "gambler", and then go to the "game world" of the game city, and sit at the same table with those billionaires with a net worth of millions, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions, and play games with bigger chips and win more wealth.

Hao Fei, who has broken through the threshold of 1 million, doesn't want to play the kind of betting games with odds of 1:5, 1:10, and 1:20 anymore, and the money is too slow!

In one month, Hao Fei's net worth increased from 1 million to 10 million.

At this time, Ye Tianlong persuaded Hao Fei several times and persuaded him to stop in time! 10 million money was enough for him to live happily for several lifetimes! If he continued to gamble, he would really be in danger!

However, at this time, Hao Fei, who had swelled to the point that he thought that his gambling skills were invincible, successfully fell into the trap set by his opponent for him, and lost to his opponent in a zero-sum game, and was tragically swept away by the zero-clearer.

"Zero-sum game?"

What is this?

"Zero-sum game is a kind of card field, all the money and assets of both sides, into chips, and then a game until the winner is divided, the winner will win all the chips on the table, the loser will have nothing, directly to zero...... That's why it's called a zero-sum game. ”

"Go straight to zero, and be taken away by the zeroer...... Hao Fei dared to participate in this kind of game? Why didn't he bet a little smaller, and stop in moderation, it would be better than losing it all?" Zhou Ming asked puzzled.

"The problem is that the rules of a zero-sum game are: within the time limit, the winner wins, and if the time limit is exceeded, the winner wins...... The probability of a tie is almost zero. ”

Because the "Gambling Law" stipulates that as long as a gambler with assets of more than 10 million yuan, he does not have the right to refuse the opponent's proposal of a zero-sum game...... So I said that Hao Fei fell into that guy's trap and was directly killed by the other party. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ming understood what the so-called zero-sum game was.

Zero: One side loses everything.

And: One side gets everything.

Hao Fei, who thinks he is smart, still underestimates those gamblers in the upper area too much, and always thinks that he can easily win, but he doesn't know that it was the opponent who deliberately released water, so that his assets accumulated to 10 million money, and then issued a zero-sum game request, which knocked him into the abyss in one fell swoop, and he could never turn over.

Being smart is mistaken by being smart.

Therefore, Zhou Ming also had a big alarm in his heart, although there are many kinds of fools in the upper area, although there are many kinds of teases on the surface, but it is by no means as simple as imagined!

It may even be ten or a hundred times more dangerous than Area 52!

Especially gambling is such a thing, it doesn't matter if you don't touch it, once you touch it, it will be even more difficult to get out, and it is even very likely that you will fall into a place of no return.

After getting a lot of valuable information from Ye Tianlong, Zhou Ming told him to go back and continue to go to his class, and during this time, if there is nothing else, Zhou Ming will not look for him again, and he will not have to come to him, just leave a contact information.

In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to hiding your identity, be careful and be careful, because since entering the upper area, Zhou Ming has a bad premonition, it seems that something has been secretly staring at him...... Therefore, it is best for the two people not to meet in the future, and after he buys a communication device, he can communicate in the form of encrypted text messages.

"Also, the news that I came, don't tell Jin Biao and Babol for the time being...... Chen Chao will leave her alone, and when the time is ripe in the future, I will summon you all. ”

"Well, I got the boss. ”

Ye Tianlong nodded, left his communicator number, and left this ordinary community in the south of the city.
