Chapter 207 Upper Zone

Vitality Technology has been jointly blocked by major medical groups, and has launched similar "20-year life extension" packages one after another, the price is about 20 yuan, and with the advantages of comprehensive technology, it has regained most of the life extension market .

Technology can be blocked, but cheapness can never be blocked. Since the "20-year life extension" package you launched is also 20 gold, well, I will cut the price by half, and only charge 10 gold. Will you follow?

Not only that, as long as we have mastered a large number of life-extending principles of vital technologies, as long as we don’t relax investment and adopt human sea tactics, I believe that every ten years, we can iteratively develop longevity technologies with further life-extending effects, prolonging life by 30 years, and extending life by 40 years... … until the technical level is equalized to the level of life extension of 50 years.

And the launch price is even cheaper!

Some people may wonder: It is meaningless to just tie the same. Can't the vitality technology develop more advanced life-prolonging technology?Achieve life extension of 100 years, 200 years, and even the ultimate... eternal life.

Zhou Ming shook his head. Extending life by 50 years is already the upper limit of life extension allowed in Area 52. If it is extended again, those nobles in the upper area will take action and forcibly take away this kind of medical technology.

You know, after the establishment of this utopian world, the starting point of its technological development was several years ahead of Zhou Ming's earth, and then it existed stably for 500 years, and in the medical field, it focused on development for 500 years. It is said that the mysteries of life have long been deciphered, and even entered the "genetic coding era" where the genetic code can be modified, added, and deleted at will.

but……

Area 52 is just a "civilian area" one level higher than the lower-level areas. Only when you enter the upper-level area can you enjoy medical treatment with better life-prolonging effects, and you are eligible to have more. Something that cannot be owned, or something that is not "qualified" to have at all.

Therefore, Area 52 is not the topmost layer of this world, not even the so-called "upper area".

Even people living in the upper districts can be called the noble "noble class".

At first, Zhou Ming, who had just arrived in District 52, did not know the existence of the upper district, or in other words, more than 52% of the local people in District 90 did not know that in this world, besides District 52, there was another The upper area, an upper area where a group of nobles live in an unknown location.

Zhou Ming also learned about the existence of the upper zone after his Yuanyue Group grew bigger and bigger, entertained more and more distinguished guests, and made more and more high-level figures.

A distinguished guest who has been the mayor for 48 years once said to him:

"A nobleman in the upper district communicated with me through the city's intelligent management system. He said that I managed his city in an orderly manner. He appreciated my talent very much, so he asked me to save more money to make up enough The number of people going to the upper districts can even give me the authority to regulate the city tax rate, give me the overcharged part of the tax, and say that when I go to the upper districts, I will be assigned a new position..."

"But I refused, even though he told me that if I go to the upper district, I can live to be at least 300 years old, and I can have double the time and enjoy a more chic life... I still refused, I love that city, I cherish my family, and more importantly, there is no food that I like..."

"So I lost my job."

He shook his head, took another bite of the delicious food in front of him, spread his hands, and laughed at himself: "I can't help it, I'm just such a fool."

It was from this distinguished guest that Zhou Ming obtained a lot of little-known information about the upper area.

Such as management system, city tax rate, 300 years old and so on.

Similarly, just like entering Area 52 from the lower area, entering the upper area from Area 52 requires passing through a door, and this door requires money to enter.

How much is the ticket price to become a nobleman?Zhou Ming asked this distinguished guest.

The honored guest didn't say the answer directly, but just raised a finger to him and let him guess by himself.

10 million!
Zhou Ming immediately guessed the answer.

10 million dollars.

A mayor, who has been the mayor for nearly 50 years, no matter how frantically amassing money, the money he can save is estimated to be at most [-].

Since you only need to save 10 yuan, you can go to the upper area, then, established the Yuanyue Group, through a restaurant, a condiment company, a college, hundreds of high-quality agricultural product production bases and a number of gourmet research institutes. , Zhou Ming, who has completely controlled the entire catering industry in District 52, can't afford it. How about so much money?
He can get it out.

Before the large-scale outbreak of the odorless virus, he had a maximum of 33 yuan in his hands, enough for three people to enter the upper area.

However, after the outbreak of the virus, Yuanyue Group, which entered the medical field, burned more than 50 yuan in more than 30 years. Zhou Ming not only burned all his money reserves, The vast majority of the profits generated by the Yuanyue Group have also been invested in the bottomless pit of vitality technology.

Until the life extension package launched by Shengzhi Technology, after completing the life extension treatment for more than 5 customers in the past two years, Shengqi Technology, which earned a net profit of 60 yuan, finally injected a considerable amount of money into Zhou Ming's wallet that was about to be exhausted. benefits.

However, the 60 yuan does not belong to him alone. The huge deficit of the Yuanyue Group needs to be filled. In the Yuanyue Alliance, some strategic partners have to repay the loans. There is only a little over five thousand money left.

In addition, after Shengzhi Technology lowered the price of the life extension package, the price dropped by half, resulting in a meager 20% profit margin. Originally, it could make a net profit of 30 yuan a year, but now it is probably only 5 yuan.

Of the [-] profits, [-] will be invested in the research and development of new life extension technology, and the actual net profit is only [-].

Fortunately, because the price cuts were too severe, competitors withdrew one after another because they were unprofitable. Vitality Technology, which has almost occupied the entire "20-year life extension" market, has the number of customers. I believe it will increase to [-] to [-] per year within a period of time. Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or more, even if Zhou Ming personally earns one coin from these customers, the amount is quite considerable.

It's just that Zhou Ming is 95 years old now, and his body located in the outside world can already receive some anxious urgings from time to time. Although the system did not issue an alarm of "insufficient energy", Zhou Ming predicts that he will be at most another If you stay in this dungeon for 20 years, you must quit the game.

In the past 20 years, he needs to increase his money savings as much as possible, reduce additional expenses, and strive to save 100 million when he quits the game.

"In the next time, we should seek stability, less toss, and complete the primitive accumulation of money."

Of course, there must be some regrets, and some regrets even made him deeply annoyed, often sighing in his dreams.

For example, his hometown, the 51 underground mining area, where he lived from childhood to childhood, even after winning "The Hunger Games", he uttered bold words in front of his relatives and friends that he would open the "gate of heaven" to them, but unfortunately What's more, he didn't fulfill this bold statement, and he didn't have the ability to fulfill it. He made those who had expectations of him gradually become disheartened during the long wait.

Later, after he had a certain amount of money, he asked someone to trust him, hoping that there would be a way to bring his parents, brothers and sisters from his hometown to Area 52. If he brought a person, he would give 100 coins. Should be no problem, right?

As a result, such a way is a false way to cheat him of money even if there is no such way.

Therefore, Zhou Ming began to search for information from those low-level areas, and entered the new population of Area 52 (that is, what the locals call "rats") to inquire about information. It pays off. When Zhou Ming was 44 years old, he just inquired about his family from a "villager" from Area 51, whose hometown happened to be the third mining area of ​​E7 area.

A thunderous news:
The third mining area was raided by the company, the Iron Brotherhood was wiped out, the water storage rock formation was destroyed, the Tiejia repair shop was closed, and 27 members of the Tiejia family died.

And this incident did not happen recently, but an old incident that happened 15 years ago. Many people who experienced this incident have begun to forget it.

That is to say, after Zhou Ming left his hometown, only ten years later, the mining company slaughtered the fat sheep of the Tie family. Except for the stray grass of Zhou Ming, all other roots were removed.

Zhou Ming hates it!
He gritted his teeth in hatred!

But what's the use of that, he can't even break through the interception of the sky screen system, so what's the point of revenge?

Therefore, this has become a regret that he will never be able to redeem and make up for in his life.

There is also the upper area. If he wants to go, he can still go there if he saves money for two more years, and his lifespan can be greatly extended. There is still hope for this game, and he will get a higher score.

But he still gave up. The experience of this round is just his original accumulation of rounds. The more resources he accumulates, the greater the initial advantage of the next round, and the higher the score he will get in the end.

However, in a situation where there is almost no innate advantage, and the unknown future is completely unfamiliar, it is impossible to desire to be in place in one step and pass the level in one go.
