Games Survive Without Boundaries
The Economic Crisis 8

Salary cuts, PHKs, and factory closures have led to a significant increase in the number of unemployed and a significant decline in the purchasing power of the population. Purchasing power continues to decline, and store profitability declines. Salaries and PHKs should be reduced to the point of almost losing money .. vicious circle, and things get worse.

More and more homeless people are on the street, and people have built simple shelters with wooden boards, scrap metal sheets, tarpaulins and even kraft paper.

Some people even sleep on the street and cover newspapers directly on their bodies. Robberies and theft happen from time to time, but the streets are full of poor people, even though they spend a lot of energy on robbing, they can't get anything good.

The shops that were still open for business were heavily guarded, and once the thief was caught, it was easy to fight.

The leftover bread sold by the bakery does not need to be thrown away. Because even though overnight, as long as they want to sell it at a cheap price, residents will queue to buy it. Not many people have money.

In order to survive, people began to eat wild grass roots and dandelions. After eating, he started digging wild lettuce, and in the end even the weeds that had been eaten by the cattle did not escape.

Sometimes, there were shops offering job opportunities, some people stayed at the door all night, and some people walked across town to the interview venue. A job often has hundreds of competitors.

At the same time, in order to stabilize the price, the store owner must reduce the scale of production and destroy a large number of "surplus" products".

It is impossible to give it away for free. Once this precedent is set, all residents will wait for a free supply of goods and will never buy from their pockets again.

It didn't take long for the bodies to be everywhere, hungry and hungry.

Zhong Rui rented an apartment on the third floor to hide. Seeing the tragedy on the road, he could not help but sigh softly, "No matter what economic problems one might encounter, ordinary people are ultimately unlucky."

“Who said no.” Su Han was deeply moved.

During the speech, the mechanical sound of the system was heard at the right moment, "On the 16th day of the game, hunger and poverty caused the population to lose their senses and order to gradually lose control."

Su Han pursed his lips, slightly dissatisfied, "In the real world, although many people would die of hunger during an economic crisis, at least law and order were still good enough."

Zhong Rui revealed his understanding, "After all, this is a game. Relying on money to solve all the problems, no difficulties in the last few days, what is the so-called survival game?"

That night, the hustle and bustle of robberies took place all over the city! Supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies, convenience stores, bakeries.

Su Han could not stop thinking about the hyperinflationary copy. If he remembered correctly, a similar incident happened at that moment.

He could not help but wonder, "Why design a similar copy, and the difficulty has been reduced?"

Zhong Rui guessed, "Maybe the Jinjiang Group plans on holding a second endless survival competition."

Su Han felt completely justified.

The next development is exactly the same as in the hyperinflationary copy. Desperate residents gather together, search the apartment building, and rob it. Players should avoid the remaining 5 days in chaos.

The trial players had experienced many battles and had experienced similar dungeons before, so they were calm and composed.

At the end of the game for 20 days, everyone managed to finish the game and survive until the end.

The game cabin slowly opened, and Li Yue nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, I've gathered some very interesting information."

“Plan to host the second endless survival competition?” Zhong Rui confirmed to him.

Li Yue instantly admitted, "Yes, I have this plan."

"Registration fee is 100 per person. The difficulty of the first few dungeons had been reduced, so that everyone could live longer and feel the pleasure of struggling to survive. The next Dungeon was extremely difficult and chose an outstanding talent."

"In addition, the top three players in the game will win cash prizes, and the top ten will have the opportunity to be invited by the group to become game trial players."

Only then did Zhong Rui realize that everything had been arranged.

“Old fox, quite dangerous, one after another,” he muttered to himself.

Su Han was poor and white, so he took the initiative to hand over the character card, and by the way asked, "When is the next trial?"

Li Yue smiled faintly, "The Survival Dungeon is relatively slow in research and development, but soon there will be other games you need to try."

“No problem,” Su Han replied simply.

**

The system of Jinjiang Group is very user friendly After the trial drama, employees are given a lot of holidays to rest.

When Su Han was bored, he went online, watched movies, and occasionally opened up video sites. Then he was surprised to find that it looked red unnoticed.

The number of Survival series video views easily exceeds 100 million, and with the group's main promotions, the data is still increasing.

There are many compliments under——

"I really like survival videos! I've read it five times!"

"Ahhhhh, I'm so funny! I like stockpiling supplies like hamsters. I'm never bored!"

"Life is endless, and supplies are endless. Just for the tireless supply spirit, I must back up my real name."

"Get your friends to watch together. By the way, when will the next Endless Survival Competition start? Can you lower the difficulty level?"

"Wait for the 2nd Endless Survival Competition +1! The money is ready, just wait for the big video!"

So far, endless survival games have been known by many, and become very popular.

Surprisingly, the first thought that came to Su Han's mind was that he did not know how much money he would receive in his account next month ...

The phone rang suddenly, disturbing his thoughts.

Su Han picked up the phone and asked casually, "Hello, who?"

The person on the other end of the phone was filled with hatred as he spoke, "Aren't you going to find me if I don't find you?"

This person was Zhong Rui.

God knew her phone number or had Li Yue come. Leaving the game, someone seemed to lose contact.

“No need!” Zhong Rui replied harshly.

She felt that going shopping with her boyfriend to watch a movie, and making an appointment, would make people more energetic and energetic.

While playing the game together, his attitude was friendly, and when the copy came out, he turned his head and refused to recognize people. Oh, women!

Zhong Rui's hatred almost turned into substance.

Su Han "pockets" laughed out loud. After clearing his throat, he asked solemnly, "Do you want to have dinner together tonight? Take the time to make an appointment? Do you want to try dating?"

Zhong Rui remained silent for a long time, and said silently, "I think your proposal is very good."

“Then... do you want to approve everything?” Su Han smiled.

“En.” Zhong Rui replied gently, the corner of his mouth pointing upwards.

“There is a good restaurant next to the company. See you at the company door at 7 tonight.” Su Han happily sent out an invitation.

Zhong Rui replied happily.

After chatting for a while, the call ended and the phone hung up.

Zhong Rui stared at the phone for a long time, only to realize that he was brought into a rhythm. He discovers that his new girlfriend is just a demon, and casually speeds up the person's heartbeat, full of hope.

**

At the end of the holiday, Zhong Rui left for work agilely, each step like stepping on a cloud. At the same time, his face was filled with smiles, and he could not help but point his mouth upwards.

Li Yue was surprised when she saw him, her expression was strange, and she asked with concern, “Is this a jackpot?” Why does everyone look so abnormal?

But come to think of it, it's not quite right. This person regarded money as dirt, and if it wasn't for Su Han, he wouldn't be willing to go to work. How could he just bend money.

“I have a girlfriend,” Zhong Rui announced proudly.

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, “I know, it wasn't Su Han.” After a pause, he showed a confused expression, “What? Did you finally decide to communicate in public?”

Zhong Rui, "..."

He shares his joy with the world. However, in everyone's eyes, he and Su Han were in a state of association for a long time.

For a moment, Zhong Rui's mood was very mixed.

Next to him, Li Yue still muttered, "Your two customs videos were originally launched on behalf of some players. The entire company, plus all the viewers who watched the video, all know about your relationship."

"That's not what I'm saying, you two are acting too obvious, not at all like a pure friendship."

"Whether you decide to publish it, you can communicate openly in the future. Don't worry, our company doesn't ban office romance, let alone you still acting as a trial player."

Zhong Rui glanced at someone, having nothing to say, quickened his pace and left.

“Temple?” Li Yuesi did not know that he felt disgusted, and thought Zhong Rui would be ashamed.

**

In the office, the trial players gathered. Li Yue explained the situation to everyone, "The company plans to develop a new battle royale-type holographic online game."

"When entering the game, everyone has a random job and has nothing. You'll have to search around to get weapons, food, and water."

"The concept of cleanliness is eliminated. The game character has only two attributes: fullness and physical strength. If the fullness is too low, a negative state will remain triggered."

"Using different weapons to attack the target will cause different levels of damage. If you attack a vital part, it will generate criticism. It can cause double damage, maybe triple damage, or more."

"A total of 100 people were divided into black and white camps. The same camp is a teammate, but there is no immunity of damage between each other. In other words, if shooting was not allowed, it was possible to kill a friend's army by mistake. Another camp was completely destroyed, and the survivors of this moment got the victory."

"There are currently a total of 20 players, so 10VS10 will play against each other and the map will be small."

The trial players nodded one after another to show that they understood.

Li Yue wanted to draw the game cards randomly like last time. But when he saw Zhong Rui, he acted unconsciously - what if someone and his girlfriend were in a different camp and immediately defected?

So he changed his mind and he split 20 people into two teams.

After the assignment, the players from the same camp take out the game cards at will, then lie down in the game cabin and wait for the game to start quietly.

**

When he opened his eyes again, Su Han found himself standing on the street of the defeated city.

The withered yellow leaves scattered everywhere, the long-unrepairable walls showed a sense of historical ruin, and even the sky seemed rather gloomy.

Su Han tried to check his attributes. Immediately, a transparent panel appeared in front of him, which read-out

Name: Su Han

Faction: Black (10 men in his own camp and 10 men in the enemy camp.)

Fullness: 100/100

Physical strength: 100/100

Occupation: Medical soldier.

Description: Medical soldiers use drugs to treat the wounded, the effect will be better.

Su Han secretly wondered, that means there would be an additional bonus if he used drugs?

To prevent a sneak attack, he ignored his thoughts and took the lead by hiding in a nearby house.
