Urban Sims

Chapter 243 Amulet

In the assassination incident that night, while Zhou Ming was slightly injured, he was also extremely disturbed.

Why did Long Shengguang rebel?

The effect of the slave potion, why is it useless after only two days.

This was completely unexpected to him as it was the first time this had happened.

"Your slave medicine is useless to some people. Even if it is useful in the first few days, after a while, there are still some ways to get rid of the control of the medicine. Especially those powerful gamers, they have more ways, get rid of."

Lan Mengxin's words surprised Zhou Ming.

He quickly asked: "How to get rid of it, how will they get rid of it?"

"Mind seal and mind deception."

Lan Mengxin uttered two lofty nouns and explained the meaning of the two nouns.

Mind seal: As the name suggests, it is to seal part of thinking, memory and ideas, so as not to leak out or let others know.

Mind deception: It is to deceive oneself and others in a way of falsehood and falsehood, and at the same time, to achieve one's own goals.

Generally speaking, Mind Deception is much easier to master than Mind Seal.

Especially in the game world, mental deception is a very widely used technique, and even a slightly more powerful player will be able to deceive the mind.

Even some advanced gamers can do multiple deceptions, making it difficult to tell the difference between the real and the fake.

"You mean to say that your father got out of control by mental deception, mistook bullets for candy, and then sent me to the west?"

Zhou Ming suddenly realized, and immediately figured out the reason.

Immediately, he couldn't calm down and became extremely worried.

Slave potions don't work for some people?
Especially for those high-level gamers who have the ability to deceive and seal the mind, slave medicine, can't control it?
What should I do?

You know, in the upper zone, Zhou Ming's biggest opponents are those gamblers, those gamblers with strong gambling skills.

And in the upper zone, those who can pose a huge threat to Zhou Ming's wealth and assets are still those gamers.

Especially the "ultimate gamer" like Long Shengguang, who has three forced zero-sum game opportunities every year, who can zero you at any time... There may be as many as seven or eight people.

What Zhou Ming is most worried about now is that he is afraid of being targeted by these "ultimate gamers", and in the end all previous efforts will be for naught.

Moreover, Zhou Ming guessed that after winning Long Shengguang, the current him has probably become a dazzling "fat" in the eyes of countless gamers.

Because every zero-sum game, the game system will record and announce the game results to all players (even non-gamers, as long as they participate in the zero-sum game, the information will also be announced).

So Zhou Ming's personal information, as well as his huge wealth of more than 6.4 million yuan, are now at the top of the game system's net worth list, ranking first.

But in the game world, he is a nobody.

The strength is unknown, and the reputation is not obvious.

Therefore, in the eyes of countless gamers, Zhou Ming, the newly promoted rich man, is a beautiful woman who strips off her clothes.

Everyone wants to pounce on it, trample and bite fiercely!
In the eyes of those "ultimate gamers", he has become the first choice to zero!
But at this time, the slave potion has been proven to be not necessarily effective.

How to deal with those jackals?

"Don't worry, with me here, no one dares to do anything to you."

Seeing the worry in Zhou Ming's eyes, Lan Mengxin gave him a comforting look, and said lightly.

Zhou Ming glanced at her, shook his head and said: "It's useless, my information has been exposed, and those who come to challenge will soon flood this castle, you can't stop it, I have to come up with something else Countermeasures."

"Have they come? Half a month has passed, is anyone here?" The woman asked him back.

"This……"

This is also what makes Zhou Ming feel strange. He has recently started to buy a large number of security robots and frantically strengthened the defense of the castle. As a result, except for a few flies, no important role came.

Lan Mengxin stepped forward and hugged his hand, and said with a funny face: "Don't worry, as long as there is a spiritual clairvoyant in Longlan Castle, those guys outside will not make fun of themselves."

Boom~
A flash of lightning flashed in his mind.

Understood.

Now Zhou Ming finally understood.

Mind clairvoyant.

Innate psychic clairvoyant!
Can see through all tricks and hypocrisy, the natural nemesis of all gamers.

Live in this castle!

Zhou Ming thought to himself: "No wonder Long Shengguang didn't kill her, but imprisoned her in the castle for a long time. It turns out that there is still this purpose."

A talisman.

This woman who became his wife also became his amulet.

A talisman of great wealth!

Holding the woman in his arms, Zhou Ming smiled bitterly and said, "When did I fall to the point where I need a woman's protection?"

Lan Mengxin gave him a blank look: "Come on, I don't protect everyone."

Holding the woman tighter, Zhou Ming shook his head: "I will become stronger. I can't rely on your ability forever and stay in this castle forever."

This time the woman did not object. She is already in her 90s, her body will age, her energy will decline, and she will gradually become unable to keep her huge assets.

In order to avoid disaster, either squander it, or continue to strengthen yourself and remain invincible.

And on this point, Lan Mengxin didn't want to be like her mother, her father was right, this world was originally a zero-sum game, and no problems could be solved by avoiding it.

If you give up wealth, you will die faster.

After all, the law stipulates that if you kill a person, you only need to pay ten times the compensation.

Wealth is the greatest amulet.

This principle was taught to her by her father Long Shengguang for decades, and the only one she fully accepted.

……

Before transferring most of the assets to Lan Mengxin's account, Zhou Ming first took stock of what assets belonged to Long Shengguang.

It's amazing!

It is mainly divided into three major parts: cash, resources, and game companies.

There are a total of 3.58 million cash, accounting for the bulk.

资源共有21块，包括52区的12座城市，底层区的04、09、18、24、35、47、50区这七个区，以及天堂岛第11、17地区，总价值超过1亿金钱。

There is also a game company that operates the game "Maze Brave" and holds [-]% of the shares.

And the other two, called "Desert Island Survival" and "Death Speed" game company's 50% and 25% shares respectively.

The combined share value of the three game companies also exceeded 1 million yuan.

Including some real estate, casinos, shops and other real estate located in the game city, the total of 5.8725 million is a huge and suffocating wealth.

Coupled with the 5500 million accumulated in Zhou Ming's hands over the past few years...

In the upper area, Zhou Ming's net worth can definitely be squeezed into the top ten of the rich list!
"No wonder those multi-gamblers like to play zero-sum games so much. After a long accumulation, there is a short-term deprivation. As long as you are good enough, you can win the whole world!"

This made Zhou Ming make up his mind: he must do everything possible to improve his gaming skills and improve them!
Because he didn't want to wait until he was old and finally saved billions of money, and then suddenly a gamer came and won all his family property, then he would be finished.

Of course, it is imminent to improve one's game skills, and the assets of more than 6 million in hand must be managed well, and money is used to make money.

Zhou Ming discovered that because the rate of return generated by resources is too low, the most profitable industry in the upper district is still casinos and game companies-almost a lucrative business.

For example, the game "Maze Brave", Zhou Ming learned from the person in charge that about 50 players often bet in this game, and it is one of the most popular killing competitions in the upper area. Famous for its suspense, this game will hold a competition every month, which will attract about 1000 million money bets, multiplied by 5% handling fee, and can generate 50 monthly profits.

A year is 600 million.

Plus the 200 million of "Desert Island Survival" and the 200 million of the equally popular "Death Speed".

The three game companies make tens of millions of profits a year.

There is also the small casino in the game city, which also has a profit of more than 200 million a year.

In short, the entire upper area is a huge gambling world, where small and big games are going on everywhere.

Being honest and doing one’s job is not enough to make a fortune. Even if the salary level in the upper class is very high, no more than 1000% of the working class earn more than 10 yuan a month. Working for a lifetime is not as good as a gamer winning or losing a game.

Another twisted and deformed world.

Zhou Ming shook his head, put aside these messy thoughts, and began to think about how these resources and industries under Long Shengguang can ensure stability and continue to produce benefits.

Because Long Shengguang's death was so sudden, overnight, the huge assets changed hands, and the management below didn't react at all.

And these managers are all old people who have followed Long Shengguang for many years. Not to mention loyal, obedience has become an instinct.

For example, the owners of the 23 small castles around Longlan Castle are all senior managers of the Long Family Group. It is basically impossible for them to suddenly obey Zhou Ming.

Even if you obey, you will still be disobedient, and then you will not work hard, and you will be stumbling behind.

Fortunately, after Zhou Ming and Lan Mengxin got married, these guys took the initiative to come to Longlan Castle, and while offering gifts and blessings, they also expressed their "loyalty".

Afterwards, Lan Mengxin told Zhou Ming that among the 23 people, 6 were very knowledgeable about current affairs and sincere, 10 were half-hearted and helpless, and 7 were insincere and resentful.

The next step is very easy to solve, promote those 6 people to high-level management positions, and the other 17 people, each with a slave potion.

Therefore, in a relatively short period of time, various resources and industries quickly ended instability and turmoil.

Zhou Ming sighed at this: "My wife is awesome, she can help out with ideas, and save me a lot of slave potions..."
