Doomsday Wonderland

In the next few minutes, two more elevators reached the sixtieth floor, and two strange evolvers came out one after another. While the other three people were discussing in cautious whispers, Lin Sanjiu just stood aside blankly, constantly replaying in her mind what she had just done when she traveled through space. After a while, she sighed heavily.

She really wanted to talk to someone, but the life coach had already been included in the card library. As he himself said, the humanoid objects around her are becoming more and more flexible and humane. It seems that it is better not to expose them to strangers at will. Lin Sanjiu wasn't sure whether the evolver in men's yoga clothes saw his mentor, but the two newcomers definitely didn't see him.

"Are you the first one to arrive?" A young woman suddenly asked Lin Sanjiu.

Most of the women who asked questions were from the Twelve Realms, and they were all dressed in the classic Twelve Realms style, which can be summed up as "weird": a strip of purple oil paint extended downward from the tip of her beauty, passed between her eyebrows, and covered her nose. , extending all the way to the chin. At first glance, Lin Sanjiu didn't know what this person looked like.

Like Lin Sanjiu, she also had something tied around her neck. Countless huge curved, undulating, wavy purple leaves—or petals, God knows what they are—were tightly tied around her neck, making her look like an aristocratic male in medieval Europe.

"Yes," Lin Sanjiu nodded and said, most of his mind still not returning to the present.

"There are less than five minutes left before we stop the new game launch conference," another male evolutionist looked at his watch and said, "Let's take a break now."

Judging from appearance alone, no one is more suitable to be in this building than him. He has a slender figure and wears a well-fitting suit with clean and capable lines. His suit jacket is smooth and smooth, his hair is meticulous, his watch, leather shoes, tie... all seem to have been carefully selected and maintained; it actually adds a bit of elite temperament to his round face with ordinary features.

The evolver, wearing men's yoga clothes, immediately sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. Zi Youcai chewed a piece of gum at some point, and everyone waited in silence for five minutes as she tried to blow bubbles.

...It seems that there is no other way for the time being except to bite the bullet and participate in this game.

Lin Sanjiu pricked her palms with her nails over and over again. This slight physical pain was like a rope holding onto reality, tying up her small boat that could drift into the endless world at any time. As long as this game starts, she will find an opportunity to call her mentor out and discuss it with him.

"Welcome," Huanhuan said coldly, grabbing everyone's attention. From the white spherical head, a buzzing voice came: "Now the game is about to begin, please let me introduce to you the rules of the 'Mall is like a battlefield' game."

"I don't know how to do business or anything like that." The woman with purple paint muttered to herself.

It would be great if it was for business. After all, Lin Sanjiu also had a McDuck skill that she stuffed into the bottom of the box. She remained calm and listened as Huanhuan continued: "Every player will receive one hundred yuan when they start the game. This is your starting capital."

As soon as it finished speaking, the big portraits and written information of the four players suddenly appeared on the wall of the elevator room - the name of the purple oil paint was "He Lily", the name of the yoga suit was "Qiandao", and the name of the man in the suit It's called "Bai Cong". After each person's name, there is an "Amount of Funds Available," which is now all 100.

...The hope that McDuck will be put to use seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

"After the game starts, everyone will only be able to see their own information and funds. We are just introducing the situation now, so please don't worry." Although Huanhuan's voice is mechanical, the content is written by a living person, and evolution is also taken into consideration. A common worry among people. "There are a total of one hundred offices of various sizes on this floor. The four of you are going to rent offices on this floor, set up your own company, and expand your company. The goal is to eventually squeeze out all competitors. Be the only survivor. Note, I’m talking about the company, I don’t really want you to kill people. In fact, in this game, you can’t physically harm each other.”

He Baihe looked around and seemed vaguely panicked - the aboriginal people born and raised in the Twelve Worlds were probably not very familiar with the business operations of modern society.

Lin Sanjiu felt like a student who didn't study much, but during the exam, he found that the question fell on the chapter he happened to have read.

"Offices are divided into three sizes: large, medium and small. The rental prices are also different. The prices are listed at the door. Just like this." When Huanhuan said this, an image projection of an office floated in the center of the elevator room, and the prices were listed on the door. There is a line of words "Small office, 20 yuan an hour."

"The small office can accommodate 4 people. When it is full, a new office will need to be rented——"

"Who should be accommodated?" Bai Cong was quite perceptive and asked immediately. "There are only four of us in total."

"There are many customers wandering on this floor." Huanhuan explained, "After you rent your initial office, you will start searching for customers on this floor."

When several people were surprised, the image projection had also changed. A figure wandered into the image, walking aimlessly like sleepwalking. Wearing a cowboy hat and overalls, he looked almost identical to the real person - the only difference was that his face had a blank expression.

"Customers have various appearances and can only be captured one at a time." Huanhuan added. "After you capture the customer, you have to take him to your company's office. Only when the customer comes to your office will he start to generate income for you. For example, this office belongs to Miss Lily."

The client wearing a cowboy hat walked into the office through the projection, and when the door closed, a new piece of information appeared on the door. The image of "He Lily" appears on the door, and below it reads "Customer 1, employee 0, benefit 100 yuan per hour."

"100 yuan per hour is the income this customer brings to you. Although the benefits brought by different customers are different, they are generally between 80-120, and the difference is not big. Of course, only you can see this information. See, other players can only see your name and know that this office belongs to you."

He Lily nodded and took notes in his notebook.

"What happened to the employee?" Bai Cong asked.

"The customer's instinct is to wander around," Huanhuan said. "If there is no one in the office who is responsible for watching over him, then the customer will leave the office on his own and continue wandering until he is caught by the next person."

"Specialist..." Qiandao, who was wearing yoga clothes, frowned.

"These are the employees you can hire. There are five levels in total, and of course the wages are also different."

Following Huanhuan's words, the content in the image projection changed, and a row of five young people wearing white shirts and black trousers, dressed like real estate agents, appeared. They are all men, they all look exactly the same, and they all have big sales smiles on their faces; the only difference is the big black letters on their shirts.

The first young man has "RESERVED" written on his chest and "GUARD" written on his back.

"This is the cheapest and most basic level 1 employee." Huanhuan said, "His function is to keep an eye on customers and prevent them from wandering out. One person can keep an eye on three customers. His salary is 10 yuan Hour."

The second young man has "increase" written on his chest and "profit" written on his back.

"Level 2 employees can increase your income by 20 yuan on the basis of the benefits provided by customers, for example, from 100 yuan to 120 yuan per hour. His salary is 20 yuan per hour. He does not have the function of keeping an eye on customers. The upper limit is The benefits generated by three customers can be increased at the same time.”

The third young man has "Search" written on his chest and "Capture" written on his back.

"Level 3 employees can be sent out to search for customers, and after finding the customer, bring him back to your office. He also occupies an office space and does not have the function of guarding customers. His salary is 30 yuan per hour. However, it should be noted that, I just said that you cannot harm each other personally, it is only for players. If other players happen to bump into your level 3 employees, they can kill them on the spot and steal customers."

Several players looked at each other without making a sound.

He Lily whispered: "It seems different from the business I imagined..."

"It's just selling dog meat on sheep's head." Bai Cong said.

Lin Sanjiu wanted to squat down and let out a long sigh - apart from the name, what does this game have to do with business?

The fourth young man has "Protect" written on his chest and "Defense" written on his back. The big characters on the fifth young man's body echo his own. The front is "attack" and the back is "occupy".

Huanhuan stood aside and explained: "Level 4 employees and level 5 employees will occupy office quotas. The wages are 40 and 50 yuan per hour respectively. The functions are slightly more complicated. As the actual person in charge of the company, you can try to attack and occupy other offices. Player’s office.”

Bai Cong said "Oh?"

"If the combat effectiveness of level 5 employees is 1, then the defensive strength of level 4 employees is also 1. For example," Huanhuan turned her "head" and suddenly said to Lin Sanjiu, "Suppose Miss Lin Sanjiu sends a level 5 employee If you attack Ms. He Lily, and Ms. He Lily only has one level 4 employee, then the two will cancel each other out and kill each other. Except that they will disappear, the result will not change."

He Lily had put away her notebook. "Then if she sends two Level 5 employees and I only have one Level 4..."

"That will form a +1 combat advantage. After a level 4 and a level 5 cancel each other out, the remaining level 5 can successfully occupy your office. It should be noted that after occupying the office, the previous The revenue generated by customers will not be snatched away at the same time. In other words, the past revenue has already fallen into the pocket of the previous company. If you rob the office, you can only gain access to the other company's employees and customers, and get future revenue. "

There are no commercial companies anywhere that have such operating rules... Lin Sanjiu thought dumbly.

"What about us?" Qian Dao asked, "Can we also occupy the office?"

"Yes, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net In an offensive and defensive battle, you are equivalent to 1 combat or defensive force." Huanhuan said, "For example, if Miss Lin Sanjiu decides to participate in the attack, she can save 1 5 Level employee. If Miss Lily happens to also decide to participate in the defense, then the influence of the two of you will cancel each other out, but I will not disappear like an employee."

"So, the ultimate goal is to see who can occupy the most offices, grab the most customers, and make the most money?" Bai Cong asked.

"When three players in the game have insufficient funds or conditions to continue playing, it is commonly known as bankruptcy. Then there will be a final winner and the game ends." Huanhuan said. "Don't think that this game will last for a long time, because customers are consumables and will disappear completely after a period of time. Therefore, the overall potential income is getting smaller and smaller. It is necessary to seize the most customers in time so that other companies cannot Just keep it going.”

Several people looked at it, and Lin Sanjiu asked, "What will happen to the loser?"

Huanhuan took two steps back and let their eyes fall on the glass window. Outside the window, on the vast and stretched land, rivers and streets meander through the surface, and small patches of high and low buildings are clustered among the green trees.

"The loser will be thrown out from the sixtieth floor."
