Resurrection Empire

The Supply and Marketing Cooperative is a 13-story square building, a crane in a flock of chickens, standing at the junction of the slums and the rich areas.

Each floor has an area of ​​two thousand five hundred square meters, filled with a dazzling array of goods.

As long as they have money, people can buy everything except basic food and munitions here.

Daily chemicals, advanced foods, household appliances to household goods, decorative building materials, etc. are all available.

The building did not welcome guests, and there was no salesperson or cashier in the building.

The entire supply and marketing cooperative is unattended.

Customers have three ways to buy.

Those who own formal watches can place an order online at home, and then deliver them to the door by drone.

Or go to the lobby on the ground floor of the supply and marketing agency, look up the list of goods through the console shaped like an ATM machine, check the picture and video introduction, place the order collectively, and then the supply robot inside the building will The goods are quickly collected and delivered to the front.

Customers can also walk into the shopping mall by themselves, watch the physical goods place an order on the spot, and pick up their packages directly from the conveyor belt on the inner side of the gate when they leave the building.

Ren Zhong didn’t want to waste time, he didn’t go into the building to take a closer look. He only scanned the product list at a very fast speed using the console in the lobby on the ground floor. Desolate and lonely, and the words "cannibalism" are read in the clean and tidy, technological building.

The three sales models of Arsenal Supply and Marketing Co., Ltd. and all-inclusive products have greatly improved the efficiency of economic and trade activities in Starfire Town.

But it is precisely because of the existence of the huge monster of the supply and marketing agency that completely blocked the space for the desolatemen at the bottom of the town to make a living from basic work such as retailing of small commodities and groceries and express delivery.

People at the bottom can only do insignificant small businesses such as repairing clothes and renting old books that big companies dismiss, and they have to face the cruel inward competition among the same class.

You don’t even have to open a fly restaurant. Starting from the source of the raw materials, everything is controlled by big companies. No one can reduce the cost of their restaurant to a lower level than that of a cafeteria.

Even if there is a unique taste, it is impossible to fight for those unmanned private kitchens that are also affiliated to the large enterprise Heavenly Dragon Group.

The unmanned private kitchen uses artificial intelligence machinery to automatically cook, which controls the heat extremely accurately, and the material ratio is accurate to micrograms. In terms of price, taste, etc., unmanned private kitchens can be used The ordinary person of culinary art has an overwhelming advantage.

In addition, the huge Arsenal Supply and Marketing Cooperative only needs a dozen managers to maintain its operation.

It is said that these dozen or so managers are all official citizens, living in the villas per capita in the wealthy area within the white walls.

Ren Zhong searched for the official watch in the list, determined that the price was 100 points, clicked the buy button, and stuck the temporary watch on the left hand to the induction area of ​​the operating table.

Dip——

Bone conduction electronic female voice sounded, "Buy a Level 1 official watch, count 100 contribution point."

Wait thirty seconds, Ren Zhong A three-meter-long square hole was opened on the ceiling above the console in front of him. A small mechanical telescopic arm hung a palm-sized tray from above and hovered in front of him.

Ren Zhong's new watch is packed in a paper box, a typical work bag.

He feels that from now on, he will be a clan.

Aside from the Internet function of the official watch, just wear this watch to sleep, you can get 0.9 more contribution points every day, and you can pay back in full in 112 days.

In less than four months, the "business" that can return to its original value, even the well-known figure in the desolatemen like Zheng Tian squad has endured not to do it, and instead spends limited money on other things. Important place.

It is evident how tight the shackles attached to the desolatemen in this world are, how low the survival needs of the desolatemen are, and how difficult it is to store a hundred yuan.

Then Ren Zhong took out his official watch, touched it on the temporary watch dial in his left hand, and said, "Funds transfer."

Bone sounded in his cochlea again. The transmission sound, "The fund transfer was successful, and the existing balance is 101.72 contribution point."

Ren Zhong was taken aback.

Something is wrong.

From Sun Miao to 200 points, selling the remains of Crystal Wingfly to get 0.72, the total wealth should be 200.72.

If you spend 100, your remaining balance should be 100.72.

Why is there one more point?

Where did it come from?

When he got the temporary watch earlier, he thought that he was a pauper anyway, and he didn't check the balance and didn't notice this phenomenon.

After earning money later, he didn't deliberately check it out. Anyway, he didn't open the voice prompt to read the balance after such a simple numerical calculation.

At this moment, the problem was discovered, Ren Zhong looked towards his temporary watch again, with a puzzled expression.

Is it possible that at first there is 1 point in a temporary watch?

Or, now my wealth balance has been included in the value of the temporary watch?

A few seconds later, Ren Zhong's eyes fell on the recycling button on the console, clicked, and then selected the item of temporary watch, clicked to confirm the recycling.

Before the robotic arm fell again, Ren Zhong put the temporary watch in, and then immediately put on the official watch.

"Sell a temporary watch for 1 contribution point, tax 0.1 contribution point, and 0.9 contribution point. The existing balance is 102.62 contribution point."

Ren Zhong decided.

It seems that the recovery value of the temporary watch just now has not been counted in. There is really an unfathomable mystery point in my account.

This is not a small amount, enough for ten days of rations for the desolatemen at the bottom, and it is also an average day's harvest for the members of Zheng Tian squad.

Ren Zhong thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what went wrong.

He checked it, and there is no transfer record. This point seems to be lying in his account at first, just like the wrinkle suddenly turned out from the toilet paper when washing clothes. Of a dollar.

This matter is unclear, not because of IQ, it is really a supernatural event.

For a rigorous scholar, the thief hates this situation that is completely absent from the prediction, just as Heisenberg, who was the first to discover the law of uncertainty, was tortured for a long time by his obsession.

At the beginning of the electron double-slit interference experiment, it was even called "God's Dice" because it was too weird.

All things that science cannot explain for the time being can first be attributed to religious metaphysics.

God's will is over.

Well, when I knew that I had collected money from Sun Miao earlier, I should let the voice message report the balance.

But Ren Zhong finally came out of self-torture.

He said to himself: "Forget it, anyway, it's one more piece instead of less. More money is always a good thing. No matter how small a mosquito’s leg is, it’s meat. Besides, the electronic double-slit interference experiment is not the same. It took many attempts to come to a conclusion. I still have a chance..."

40 minutes are left before the meeting time agreed upon with Zheng Tian. It cannot be wasted. Ren Zhong decided to find a safe and clean one. Place a little try to surf the Internet.

There is an empty tea bar on the side of the lobby of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative Building.

Ren Zhong thought for a moment, walked into the tea bar, was stopped by the service robot, ordered a cup of plain tea worth 0.1 contribution point, and sat down.

It’s not that he was wasting money, but that he doesn’t have a house of his own. When using a watch, his nerves and brain will be immersed by bio-electrical signals. A clean and relatively safe environment is needed for supply and marketing. The tea bar in the building just met the demand.

After a short while, Ren Zhong reappears in front of the VR giant screen with his eyes closed and dozingly, and Shenzhen Group's advertisement once again sounded in his ears.

Skip the advertisement and click on the Internet function decisively.

The urban projection in the giant screen disappears and is replaced by a black screen.

Ren Zhong's ears again heard a beautiful synthetic female voice.

"Welcome, new user. This is the first time you have used the Internet function of this station's independent property right auxiliary brain. Would you like to skip the tutorial for newcomers?"

"Don't skip it. "

"This auxiliary brain supports custom interface functions. Please follow the tutorial below to set up an interface that meets your personal preferences."

More than ten minutes later, Ren Zhong "looked at "This is exactly the same as the popular Windows system in the 21st century, with an antique window interface, and I feel sincerely comfortable and satisfied.

Various newly downloaded program icons are arranged neat and tidy on his desktop according to different functions and icon colors, which can be called the gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If others can see his interface, he will definitely complain about his outdated aesthetics.

But it's not important, what I like is the best.

Ren Zhong's eyes dangled over an icon called Virtual Life, he hesitated for a while, and did not open it.

When he was searching for the necessary software, he saw that this virtual life is the most mainstream communication and social software on Origin Star. It has multiple functions such as simulation games, social networking, and advertising. Wechat, QQ, or Twitter are almost the same, but the functions are countless times more powerful.

Ren Zhong actually wants to register a new account, try to communicate with more people on the Internet, and use a faster speed to stand on a higher perspective to experience the social atmosphere of Origin Star.

But he endured it.

The timing is not yet ripe.

The targeted removal of the hunters reminded Ren Zhong.

As early as the 21st century, there was artificial intelligence big data with no opportunity lurking in the social world of the Internet.

These big data systems can analyze the thoughts of certain groups and individuals by collecting all the information left by user groups on the Internet, such as language, text, pictures, and videos, and establish representative groups in the virtual world. According to the model of thought characteristics, various targeted information flow guidance of unnoticeable influence is made to achieve the purpose of controlling people's thoughts.

All this is also called the information cocoon room.

Ren Zhong suspects that there may be similar but more powerful information cocoons in this deformed world.

For security reasons and the purpose of pretending to be hidden, to avoid premature exposure of himself, he decided to temporarily avoid Internet social interaction.

Wait for half a year or a year, and when you have fully understood the entire social structure and can disguise it perfectly, it is not too late to participate in Internet social interaction.

At the same time, he has actually taken a risk when he surfs the Internet like this, but danger lurks within the riches and honour, try first.

In case the information on the Internet is also exposed, I am afraid that I will have to abandon the use of official watches and work with temporary watches for a long time.

After waiting another five minutes, the hunter did not appear next to him.

That's it, Ren Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and clicked on the ruinbeast database (public version) icon in the column of the reference book.

Workers must first sharpen their tools if they want to do well.

He has decided to become a mecha fighter, but before that, he feels that he should learn more about his opponent.

Especially the crystal winged fly with blood and deep feud, and the Blade Beetle that may be faced tomorrow.

Research whether the Blade Beetle has a breakthrough and whether it can be reckless.

Recklessly, he just shifted in strategically, and if he was reckless, he would beat the monsters.
