Chapter 042: Amnesiac
Paradise Lost is changing subtly, everyone has a smile on their faces, a sparkle in their eyes, and it seems that tomorrow can be even better.
The size of the video store is also getting bigger.
More and more people are staking their memories in exchange for money that can be used in various investment projects.
Even the front desk has nine more people, doing the same job as on Sundays, serving everyone, buying and selling memories, and keeping the video store running.
Even so, video stores are still overcrowded.
Soon, the self-service redemption machine was invented, and most people's memories were stored in the video store, which could be operated directly on the machine to quickly cash out or redeem.
This made the workload on Sundays much less, and he returned to his previous leisure time, more like a librarian, storekeeper or something.
However, he also came out of his previous negative and pessimistic attitude, and became the annoying guy again.
Outside the video shop, Angel and Number One appear.
The angel wore a black dress today, which had the charm of a surviving person.
Holding a parasol, the angel asked curiously,
"What are we doing here?"
Instead of answering her question, Number One looked at the video store in front of him,
"This shop can buy and sell memories, you know?"
The angel nodded,
"Of course I do."
"I bought a memory from a guy, and I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it's a precious memory."
Number One yawned and said nonchalantly,
"Buying and selling memories is a lot like what demons do, and of course, that creature may prefer ethereal souls, and the topic is far away, what do I want to say? By the way, the video store, there is a newcomer who has been in the limelight recently. ”
Newcomer?
The angel recalled, and gave a code name,
"Amnesiacs?"
"That's right, it's the Amnesia."
Number One nodded and continued,
"Actually, the amnesiac is not new, he was already in Paradise Lost before the video store appeared. He chose the [Amnesiac] Contemporary because we don't have any memories of before Qiyun.
When the video store appeared, [Amnesiac] was like ushering in an epic enhancement, I really don't know what to say, good luck guy, good luck is also part of strength, you say, angel? ”
The angel ignored One's teasing, she paid more attention to the amnesiac and asked curiously,
"The rise of the amnesiac has something to do with the video store?"
Obviously, she didn't think clearly about the connection between the two.
After all, a code name is just a code name, and there is not much useful information to be able to peek into the tip of the iceberg of the owner of the code name.
Apparently, the amnesiac has a unique approach that makes him the darling of the version.
But this method is generally kept secret, how could One know?
In Paradise Lost, the method of getting rich is always top secret.
If there is an overtly rich method, it means that it cannot be imitated.
For example, the transsexuality of angels.
"It's okay to tell you."
The corners of No. 1's mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a teasing look in his eyes, and he said leisurely,
"Amnesiac people will mortgage their memories and invest in projects they fancy to get high returns."
The angel frowned, "That's it?" ”
Sounds like nothing special.
One did not pretend to be a riddler, explaining,
"He will mortgage all his memories, you know, the memories that come this time are very valuable, he doesn't keep any memories, and he can sell them for a sky-high price!"
The angel asked in confusion,
"No, if all his memories are gone, even if he has the start-up capital, what's the use?"
Number One yawned,
"Isn't that easy? When he has a memory, he arranges his next step of investment, how to deal with various situations, when to be aggressive, when to be cautious, and then with execution, and when the investment is recouped, he will return to the video store, redeem all the memories, make a new investment plan, and repeat the previous behavior. ”
Hearing this crazy plan, the angel didn't know what to say for a while.
If this is the case, the rise of the amnesiac is also a matter of course.
It's just that there is one more thing that the angels don't understand,
"Why is it so clear?"
This matter should be the biggest secret of the amnesiac, and he will never take the initiative to disclose it.
What means did Number One use to find out the secrets of the amnesiacs?
Angels are more concerned about this than amnesiacs.
"Well, this one."
One showed a meaningful smile,
"Who do you think is the owner behind the memory video store? Such a big piece of cake is not something that even a master can enjoy. In fact, the existence of the top 10 rich people, everyone has a stake in the memory video store, and the matter of the amnesiac is a secret to others, but not to the shareholders. ”
"Wait?"
The angel suddenly came back to his senses, looked at No. 1, and said in astonishment,
"You said that the top ten on the wealth list have a place here?"
Angel is also in the top 10 of the wealth list, why doesn't she know she has this investment.
Number One nodded, "yes." ”
The angel's expression froze, realizing that something might be possible.
She doesn't have a stake here, which means she's no longer in the top 10 of the wealth list?
Looking at the sluggish angel, Number One patted her on the shoulder and said casually,
"This is the reward of fate for loyalty."
Obviously, without the angel's knowledge, the master sold her, and perhaps sold her for a good price.
At the critical moment leading up to the meeting, the angel was pushed out of the top 10 without warning, exactly as it happened on Sunday.
It's just that, last time, the one who squeezed out Sunday was an angel.
The reasons for the two being squeezed out are also very different.
Sunday was too much of a threat to One, so it was eliminated by One.
Angel is too immature and too vegetable.
The elimination of Sunday and the angels is more like removing a top score and then removing a low score.
The gift of fate has long been secretly marked with a price.
The moment the angel chose to undergo sex reassignment surgery and became the top 10 on the rich list, it was doomed to today's end.
At the end of the second stage, the angel was able to become the tenth richest person by giving up his native gender.
Now, at the end of the third stage, even though Paradise Lost has an endless supply of cheap labor, they still haven't given up squeezing their traditional art.
Therefore, when a Ludon is ruthless and pledges all his memories, his wealth will also expand rapidly, even surpassing the top ten goalkeeper Angels.
The angel gave up only gender recognition, and he gave up everything he was Luden, and it was clear who won and who lost.
In Paradise Lost, the loser can only reflect on his failures and cannot gain any mercy.
Number One crossed the angel and stretched out his hand to an oncoming man, revealing a warm smile,
"Amnesiac, tenth on the Fortune List, on behalf of the Master, I invite you to a special meeting"
