Chapter 180 The Hunger Games
The high-level route also failed.

Would it work if we broke less rules and tried a few more rounds?
Zhou Ming shook his head, not breaking the rules, starting from the bottom, it is a big problem to be a supervisor of a mine, let alone a higher position such as a mine manager or a district manager.

Moreover, after entering the top management of the mining company, through continuous observation for nearly 20 years, Zhou Ming discovered that those who can get monetary rewards are basically those "honest people" who work hard, are not too outstanding, are well-behaved, and have no blemishes. The company will still use those who like to take advantage of loopholes, but will never reward money.

Zhou Ming was very puzzled by this. Could it be that the top executives behind the company prefer honest people to smart people who are flexible and changeable?
But after getting in touch with some deeper things, Zhou Ming discovered that the company's top executives don't actually like honest people, but people who follow the rules.

Especially those who strictly abide by the rules, the company likes it the most.

The highest level behind the company hopes that a set of rules can run stably for decades, hundreds of years, or even longer, and only needs to be fine-tuned in the middle, and they can control what they want to control by manipulating this set of rules. Everything, the most fearful thing is that there will be uncontrollable factors that will affect the operation of the rules.

Therefore, the top management of the company does not want the miners to control the fresh water in the water storage rock formation; it does not want the miners to know the secret that underground magma can generate electricity; and it does not want the miners to know that food can germinate and grow underground through photosynthesis... …miners just need to know that they can only survive by going underground.

The rules, are Area 51, greater than anything else.

For Zhou Ming, taking the high-level route without breaking the rules is almost more difficult than reaching the sky.

"Could it be...the only way to go is the last one?"

But it seems that only this last path has a slight chance of getting money.

Even if this is possible, it is only a few tenths.

Killing competition.

Participate in the killing competition held by the upper class nobles.

This is the last path that can be chosen, use the most violent killing to achieve your goal.

"Death Game"

"Death Drive"

"Hungry Games"

"Maze Warrior"

"Cast Island Survival"...

You can choose any of these items. On the radio, you can often listen to the broadcast commentary of these killing competitions, and you can even hear the scalp-numbing, extremely exciting screams, and the sound of the big knife cutting on the bone. The sound, the sound of gurgling blood...

In addition, in Tie Qiang's several life experiences, in the fourth mining area next to the third mining area, there was a young miner who participated in "The Hunger Games" and survived successfully. Hairspray, escorted by a team of soldiers, returned to his hometown, and delivered his "victory speech" and his vision for a new life in the future in front of countless fathers and villagers...for a time, the scenery was endless.

Tie Qiang and his elder brother Tieshan also went to listen to the "victory speech". Tie Qiang felt that there was nothing to be envious of. Only one survived out of 51 people. However, his elder brother Tieshan was very excited and signed up soon after. Participated in Game of Death.

Regardless of whether it is "Game of Death" or "The Hunger Games", Zhou Ming has listened to the commentary of the two killing competitions for quite a while, and has a better understanding of the rules of the game. He feels that "The Hunger Games" is more suitable for Tie Qiang to participate.

Why do you say that?
Because the "Game of Death" is short and intense, each of the 51 contestants wears a terminal on their wrist. As long as the enemy appears within a radius of 30 meters, it will display the traces of nearby enemies. It's still a machete, you only need to kill the opponent, the game map is small, and usually within a day, the final winner can be determined.

The map range of "The Hunger Games" is relatively large, and the game time is 15 days, but each player only distributes enough food for 2 days, and the rest of the time, either get food from the same kind, or spend it in hunger, after 15 days , the first player to come out of the "Victory Gate" is the winner. The remaining players, regardless of whether they are dead or not, after the victory gate is closed, the probability of surviving from the arena is very small.

That's why Zhou Ming recommended "The Hunger Games" because compared to the simple and bloody "Game of Death", "The Hunger Games" requires more brains. As long as you hide well, you don't need to go through a brutal fight, and maybe you can survive... …

The only more troublesome thing is, how can he convince Tie Qiang that he, who is somewhat greedy for life and fear of death, is willing to sign up for the competition?
"It's nothing more than exaggerating benefits and depreciating risks. Who wouldn't fool you?"

After thinking about it, Zhou Ming played another game!

……

In the blink of an eye, Tie Qiang, who has been in the mine for 6 years, is 12 years old this year. He is thin, with quiet and long eyes.

Especially in the fight with weapons two years ago, after his father Tieman passed away, in order to support his family, he could only work harder. Every time he went to the mine, he exuded a desperate aura.

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

"Who? Who's talking?" Tie Qiang was taken aback by the sudden sound in his head. He looked around, looking for the thing that made the sound.

"Don't look for it, hurry up and dig out that piece of gold, or someone else will dig it up if you go too late." The voice in my head urged.

"All right……"

Tie Qiang was skeptical, and after finding the mine, he dug out a huge piece of gold and earned more than 3000 credits that usually took at least ten days to earn.

It was also from this day that Tie Qiang obeyed the old man in his mind and never doubted it.

"Tie Qiang, it's useless for you to mine like this for the rest of your life. It can't change your destiny. The only thing that can change your destiny is to sign up for the killing competition and get money rewards..."

"Don't worry that you won't be able to beat others, as long as you train according to the method I teach you, you will be invincible in one-to-ten and one-on-one for at most five years."

"What? The training is too hard. It's not bad to just dig mines for the rest of your life? Okay, you don't believe me. At the age of 22, you will die in a mine accident. I won't tell you when and where the mine accident happened. Anyway, living like this is also a burden for you... and those precious ores, I will not tell you the specific burial location, you can just dig like this for the rest of your life! Anyway, you can only dig for a few years."

"You said you were wrong, promised to continue training, don't want to mine every day, and want to live for a few more years? OK! I will give you another chance. If you don't cherish this opportunity, I will never leave your mind." disappear!"

At the age of 18, after signing up for "The Hunger Games", he left all his 50 credits to his mother, followed a few staff members, took a high-speed maglev train, looked at the blurry scenery outside the window, and In the gray sky, Tie Qiang murmured, "Grandpa, can I survive? From more than [-] people."

"You won't die, as long as you do what I tell you." The voice in my head said.

A burst of exciting music sounded, and the overview of the previous competition ended. After playing the introduction of the data cards of the 51 contestants in this issue of "The Hunger Games", the host said in an extremely high-pitched voice:
"Gentlemen and ladies! The 3832nd death feast of "The Hunger Games" has begun! Is the money in your pocket ready? Have you spotted the player you are looking forward to? Bet in advance, you can get a higher Multiplier, don’t bet? It doesn’t matter, you will fall in love with this game crazily, starting from the first flower of death blooming in front of you..."

"Tie Qiang, don't worry about running, kill the guy who is chasing you! He is just a big clumsy guy, go around behind him, and kill him with your nimble hands! Don't be afraid, take the knife and swipe him lightly The neck will do..."

"Okay! Well done! Put all the food in his bag into your own bag, these foods can make you live for two more days..."

"The leaves of this kind of tree are edible, and the roots of that kind of grass have a lot of sugar. Dig a little more and put them on your body. It has been 8 days. Everyone has almost eaten up their food. There should be a few guys starting Cannibals, be careful to avoid them, the hungry and red-eyed lunatics, no matter how skilled they are, they are hard to deal with..."

"What are you doing to save this woman? When is this? How did your childish sympathy flare up at this moment? Throw this woman away, you have already injured an arm because of this woman, and take her with you again." , you will be killed by her!"

"Tie Qiang, I would like to advise you one last time. This woman is just pretending to be pitiful and taking advantage of you. Don't be fooled by her! She came to "The Hunger Games" not to have sex with you, but to get money! You even watched this not come out?"

"Pfft~!"

In front of the Victory Gate, Tie Qiang, who was about to be the first to enter, took a step forward, and at the moment of turning around, in a burst of pain, he looked at a bloody sharp knife protruding from his chest, shining in the sun. A dazzling cold light... He couldn't help regretting for a while: Grandpa, I was wrong. If I were given another chance, I would never make this mistake again...

"Tie Qiang, don't worry about that woman! You died in her hands in your last life. She took a knife and pierced your body from behind. She stepped on your body and entered the Victory Gate. The money that belongs to you... Do you want to experience this ending again?"

"Hahaha, you won! Tie Qiang, you are the final winner. The gate of heaven has been opened to you. You can go to the paradise area immediately and live a brand new life!"

"Really? A new life..."

Tie Qiang was deeply moved as he tightly held this copper-gold, round "money" with a radius of about one inch, painted with simple patterns, and made of an unusually hard material.
