Urban Sims

Chapter 175 Background
"I can't help you with anything."

The fiery picture in his mind turned to darkness, Zhou Ming sighed, his brows furrowed.

As the "grandpa" attached to the default character Tie Qiang, Zhou Ming is not an all-knowing and omnipotent god. Except for one or two small beneficial suggestions, most of the time, he can only watch with a cold eye.

because.

He doesn't understand the technology of this world.

The way of production and life in this world is very strange to him.

Human relationships in this world are more indifferent than friendly.

The game experience he accumulated before is almost useless here.

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

Look at the game rating -

Mission Map: "Empire of Money"

Game character: Tie Qiang

Money: 0
Lifespan: 22
Achievements obtained: 0
Game evaluation: F (Tie Qiang has spent his short life in hard work, he has heard of the existence of money, but has never owned it)
0 achievements?

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

"System, you are not kidding 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 in the score, and other items will not be included in the score."

"You mean, if the character doesn't get money, the score is 0 no matter what the character achieves?"

"Yes, host."

Your sister's system!
Zhou Ming wanted to curse a little bit, is money so easy to get?In the entire Area 51, there are more than 300 underground mining areas and a population of millions. In the 500-year history, a total of 1000 people have obtained money, and there are only two people in an average year.

Divide it by the million-level population base of District 51, and the probability of getting money is one in 50.

And the identities of these 1000 lucky people are mostly senior managers of "mineral companies". Because of their achievements in managing the mining area, they were rewarded with money by the upper-level nobles.

Only a very small number of miners from the bottom, relying on participating in various killing competitions held by the nobles of the upper class, and participating in a Colosseum-style PK with players who signed up from other 50 districts, and the champion who won in the end, won the title. The possibility of "money" this kind of reward.

For example, the "Game of Death" that Tie Qiang's third brother Tie Shan signed up for is just one of many killing competitions.

Similarly, there are dozens of killing competitions with different rules, such as "Death Speed", "The Hunger Games", "Maze Hero", "Desert Island Survival", but just to add more fun, attracting a large number of bottom-level players every year. People signed up in an endless stream.

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

If not?Sorry, you only get one chance, dead people don't get second chances.

As for the copy world of "Empire of Money", after collecting information through various channels, Zhou Ming discovered that this world is a utopian world built by idealists.

More than 600 years ago, this world was still a world of prosperous economy, prosperous culture, and advanced technology.

Its technological level is decades ahead of Zhou Ming's Earth, and it has realized artificial solar power generation. On the nearest moon, it has established a moon base with long-term astronauts.

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

Advanced weapons such as hypersonic missiles, stealth fighter jets, drones, bombers, and aircraft carriers were first put into use.

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

Three months later, World War III was over, and both superpowers ceased to exist.

The global population of 120 billion has dropped to less than 10 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 contamination, 90% of the planet's land area is no longer suitable for human habitation.

After the century-long nuclear winter, under the leadership of a strong leader, the planet has regained its vitality and established a unified regime.

However, when integrating various resources of this planet, the strongman leader found that the resources of this planet are running out and cannot meet the needs of the development of a higher level of technological civilization. The nuclear war that destroyed the world , Even if the ambition of some politicians is extinguished, it also ruins the future of all mankind.

Therefore, using the existing resources and technology at hand, this strongman leader divided the world into 52 districts, of which 51 districts are the bottom district, 1 is the paradise district, and the 52 districts are interconnected by some kind of The high-tech devices are strictly isolated, and only the material transportation system is kept.

As for the flow of people, the free movement of people at the bottom is strictly restricted, except for a few high-level management personnel.

These restrictions did not cause much dissatisfaction, because the living conditions of the people in the 51 lower-level districts are similar to each other, and they are all struggling on the line of food and clothing.

Compared with the "Paradise Zone" that is "abundant in supplies", "free of nuclear pollution", "ordered", and "full of vitality and green", other lower-level areas are almost unattractive.

How can I get to the "Paradise Zone"?

money.

As long as you have a piece of money, put this money into the keyhole of the "gate of heaven", and the gate of heaven will be opened for you.

……

How did Zhou Ming collect all the above information?
Broadcasting, heard on the radio.

The radio worth 300 credits was bought by Tie Qiang with half of his savings on Zhou Ming’s suggestion. The various news and news broadcast on several radio channels still brought a lot of spiritual food to the family.

Including Zhou Ming heard a lot of valuable information about the world, and the third brother Tieshan who likes to listen to the game commentary of "Game of Death" the most. Dissuaded, signed up for the "Game of Death" in which a total of 51 players participated, and only one survived in the end.

"Money is indeed the only thing that people at the bottom of this world use to rise up in this world, but heaven..."

Zhou Ming chuckled, this so-called paradise is probably just a smokescreen used by the superiors to paralyze and fool the public...

But it is undeniable that only the vast majority of people at the bottom of Area 51 have accepted the rhetoric on the radio, so people either work hard, work hard, and make contributions that can be rewarded with money, while those who are not satisfied with the status quo Low-level civilians can also realize their dreams through various "death competitions" that stimulate the adrenal glands.

Even... the probability is very low.

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

No.

Should be no.

If there is, it is impossible for this utopian system, which has existed stably for 500 years, to still function well and tend to be perfected and standardized.

In order to collect more information about this dungeon and try to get money, after thinking about it, Zhou Ming played another game in the injection mode.

……

"Tie Qiang, 3BC94 ore, in that rock wall, there is a piece of gold weighing 30 kilograms, worth 3000 credits, quickly dig it out."

"Tie Qiang, 3BG26 ore site, there is a piece of high-grade uranium ore with a reserve of about 50 tons. If you mine all these ores, you can earn 5 credits. You must wear protective clothing and pay attention to its radiation. "

"Tie Qiang, stop your father! Tell him not to go too far ahead, or tell him to wear a mining protective suit. Don't be afraid to break the protective suit. If it breaks, buy him another set!"

"Tie Qiang, please persuade your big brother, Tie Tou, not to go mining in the 3CK20 mining area, there will be a subsidence, and if you go there, you won't be able to come back."

"Tie Qiang, your mother is suffering from severe SYR type-3 virus influenza. This type of influenza can only be cured with an expensive drug that costs 8000 credits. Does your wife agree to take this money?" Then , Tie Qiang and his wife had a fierce quarrel, and finally he and his two elder brothers took out [-] credit points each, plus most of his father's savings, and cured his mother's cold.

"Tie Qiang, your brother is going to participate in "Game of Death", why don't you try it too?" Zhou Ming urged Tie Qiang to say, but Tie Qiang, who was already the father of two children, was silent for a few seconds and shook his head. Shaking his head, he declined the offer.

"Tie Qiang, this mining area is very dangerous. You had an accident here in your last life. Although ten years have passed, you still have to be careful."

"It will be fine. Where lava has erupted once, the probability of another eruption is very small, and the grade of titanium ore near here is very high. In the past three months, I have earned a lot of points here."

Tie Qiang said with a relaxed face, and the high-speed rotating drill bit of the rock drill in his hand, buzzing, drilled towards a giant ore pillar.

However, after only a few drills, there was a sudden shaking of the top of the head and under the feet, countless dust and gravel fell like raindrops, accompanied by a loud bang, and in less than ten seconds, Zhou Ming's mind came to "Game!" The character has died and is exiting the game..." the prompt sound.

　The construction of the world view is more troublesome, the initial update is slow, and the writing style is not good. I don’t know if I can manage such a large world structure. It is estimated that this copy will write 50 words
