Chapter 2 Background

"I can't help any kind of things."

The red picture in his mind returned to the darkness, and Zhou Ming sighed and his eyebrows frowned.

As the "old grandfather" attached to the default character Tieqiang, Zhou Ming is not an omniscient and omnipotent god. Apart from occasionally giving one or two suggestions of minor benefits, he can only watch coldly most of the time.

because.

He doesn't understand the technology in this world.

He is very unfamiliar with the way of production and life in this world.

The interpersonal relationships in this world are more indifferent than friendly.

The gaming experience he has accumulated before is almost useless here.

Zhou Ming is completely a novice in the copy of "The Empire of Money".

Check out the game ratings-

Mission map: "The Empire of Money"

Game Character: Tieqiang

Game review: f (Tieqiang spent his short life in hard work. He had heard of the existence of money, but never had it)

0 Achievements?

Zhou Ming opened his eyes wide and said to the system in his mind:

"System, aren't you playing tricks on me? No matter how you play this game, there are more or less achievement points, 0. What are you doing?"

"Host, this level is a challenge level. Only money items will be counted into the score, and other items will not be counted into the score."

"You mean, if the character doesn't get money, no matter what kind of achievements the character achieves, the rating will be 0?"

“Yes, host.”

Your sister's system!

Zhou Ming was a little cursed, is money so easy to obtain? The entire 51st District, with more than 300 underground mining areas and a population of millions, has received money in a total of 1,000 people in the past five hundred years, and an average of only two in one year.

Then divide by the population base of the 51 districts, the probability of obtaining money is one in 500,000.

Most of the 1,000 lucky people are senior managers of "mineral companies". Because of their contribution to managing the mining area, they were rewarded with money by the nobles of the upper class.

Only a very small number of miners from the bottom can get the reward of "money" by participating in various murder competitions organized by the upper class nobles, and the players who signed up from other 50 districts. The final winner can have the possibility of getting the reward of "money".

For example, the "Death Game" signed up by Tieqiang's third brother Tieshan is just one of many murder competitions.

Similarly, there are dozens of competition rules such as "Death Speed", "The Hunger Games", "The Maze Brave", and "Survival of Desert Island", etc., but the murder competition is just to increase more fun. It attracts a large number of people at the bottom to sign up every year, and it is endless.

These participating people are like gamblers who buy lottery tickets. Although the probability of winning the first prize is about one percent, they all think that they will definitely win the prize.

If you fail? Sorry, there is only one chance, and there is no second chance for the dead.

After summarizing information through various channels, Zhou Ming discovered that this world is a utopian world established by idealists.

More than 600 years ago, this world was still a world with economic prosperity, cultural prosperity and very advanced technology.

Its technological level is decades ahead of the earth where Zhou Ming is located, and has achieved artificial solar power generation. On the recent moon star, a moon star base with astronauts has been stationed for a long time.

However, because the conflicts between the two superpowers of the East and the West cannot be reconciled in various fields and can only be resolved through war. Therefore, on a quiet morning, the war broke out and soon swept the world.

Advanced weapons such as hypersonic missiles, stealth fighters, drones, bombers, and aircraft carriers are first put into use.

After the war lasted for a week, the first nuclear weapon was launched from a strategic missile nuclear submarine under the sea, followed by intercontinental missiles, space-based weapons, electromagnetic pulse weapons, and super-large equivalent nuclear weapons...

Three months later, World War III ended and the two superpowers no longer existed.

The world's population has dropped to less than 1 billion, and most of them can only live in underground shelters.

Due to global climate change caused by large-scale nuclear weapons and surface pollution caused by nuclear radioactive dust, 90% of the land area of ​​this planet is no longer suitable for human habitation.

After the end of the nuclear winter that lasted for a hundred years, under the leadership of a strong man, the planet revived and established a unified regime.

But when integrating various resources on this planet, the strong man leader discovered that there are not many resources left on this planet and cannot meet the needs of development to a higher level of scientific and technological civilization. The nuclear war that destroyed the world exterminated the ambitions of some politicians and ruined the future of all mankind.

Therefore, using the existing resources and technology in his hands, this strongman leader divided the world into 52 districts, of which 51 are the base areas and one is the paradise area. The 52 districts are strictly isolated from each other with some high-tech device, and only the material transportation system is retained.

As for the movement of people, except for a few senior management personnel, intersections and exchanges can occur between each lower-level area, and the free movement of the lower-level people is strictly restricted.

These restrictions did not cause too much dissatisfaction, because the people in each district in the 51 lower-level areas had similar living conditions and were struggling on the line of food and clothing.

Compared with the "paragraph area" that is "abundant materials", "nuclear pollution", "order", and "full of vitality and green", other lower-level areas are almost unattractive.

How can I go to the "Paradise District"?

money.

As long as you have one money, and then put this money into the keyhole of the "Gate of Heaven", the Gate of Heaven will open for you.

...

How did Zhou Ming collect the above information?

Broadcasting, listening to it from the radio on the radio.

The radio worth 300 credit points was purchased by Tieqiang at Zhou Ming's suggestion. At that time, his parents scolded him, saying that he was a prodigal son, but listening to several radio channels on the radio, the various news and news broadcasted to the family still brought a lot of spiritual food.

Including the large amount of valuable information about this world that Zhou Ming heard, as well as the third brother Tieshan, who likes to listen to the commentary on the "Death Game" competition the most, he began to consciously train himself. In the end, despite his family's dissuasion, he signed up for a total of 51 contestants who participated in the competition and could only survive one person.

"Money is indeed the only item used by the people in this world, the lower class, to rise, but heaven..."

Zhou Ming smiled and said, this so-called paradise is just a smokescreen used by the superiors to paralyze and fool the people...

But it is undeniable that only the vast majority of the lower-class people in District 51 have accepted the rhetoric in the broadcast, so people either work diligently and work hard to make contributions that can receive financial rewards. Those lower-class people who are unwilling to the status quo can also realize their dreams through various "death competitions" that stimulate the adrenal glands.

Even if...the probability is very low.

Is there no other way to change the fate of individuals or everyone?

No.

Probably not.

If anything, this utopian system that has been stable for 500 years cannot still operate well and tend to be perfected and standardized.

In order to collect more information about this copy and try to get money, Zhou Ming started another game in the injection mode.

...

"Tieqiang, 3bc94 ore spot, there is a piece of gold weighing 30 kilograms in that stone wall, worth 3,000 credit points, dig it out quickly."

"Iron-strong, 3bg26 ore, with a high-grade uranium ore, with a reserve of about 50 tons. If you mine all these ores, you can earn 50,000 credit points. You must wear protective clothing and pay attention to its radiation."

"Tieqiang, stop your father! Tell him not to rush too far, or ask him to wear protective clothing for mining, don't be afraid of breaking the protective clothing, and buy him one if it breaks!"

"Tieqiang, please advise your elder brother Tietou not to go to the 3ck20 mining area to mine, as it will collapse there, and you will not be able to come back if you go."

"Tieqiang, your mother suffered from the severe Syr-type 3 virus flu. This flu needs to be cured with an expensive drug. It costs 30,000 credit points. Does your wife agree to take out the money?" Afterwards, Tieqiang and his wife had a fierce quarrel, and finally took out 8,000 credit points with two brothers, plus most of the savings on his father, cured his mother's cold.

"Tieqiang, your brother is going to participate in "Death Game". Why don't you try it too?" Zhou Ming instigated Tieqiang, but Tieqiang, who was already a father of two children, was silent for several seconds, shook his head, and rejected the proposal.

"Tieqiang, this mining area is very dangerous. You happened to this in your last life. Although it has been ten years, you should be careful."

"It won't be a problem. Where the lava erupts once, the probability of erupting again is very small, and the titanium ore nearby is of high grade. I have made a lot of money here in the past three months."

Tieqiang said with a relaxed look on his face, and the drill bit rotating at a high speed in his hand was buzzing and drilling towards a giant mineral string.
