Chapter 78
The plane slowed down and approached.
A cliff in the middle of the mountain ahead was a huge rectangular cave passage. When the plane flew into the passage, it flew more than a thousand meters and slowly landed on a shutdown platform.
After getting off the plane, the staff responsible for picking up him was not cold to him, so he pointed to the elevator at the corner and asked him to take the elevator up.
After entering the elevator, it rose about four or five hundred meters. After the elevator door opened, the lights in front were bright, entering a pure white world.
Walked a distance forward.
A glass wall blocked the front.
There is a transparent door in the middle.
"Please insert your money card, check the account balance, and confirm whether it meets the entry standard." A box-shaped device on the middle edge of the gate emits a prompt sound.
Zhou Ming took out the money card from his exit pocket and inserted it into the card slot of the device.
"Drip~"
"The balance is 11859401206 yuan, which meets the entry requirements. Welcome to the top area." The transparent door automatically opened.
Zhou Ming walked in and walked for more than three or four hundred meters. A circular door appeared on the right side of the passage ahead. He sensed that a creature was approaching. The door made a prompt sound: "I am a medical door. Do you want to accept life-extended services? This device can complete a long-term life-extended service for you and increase your life-extended by 500 years."
"How much is the charge?" Zhou Ming asked.
Several rows of lights above the medical door flashed like breathing, and a sound rang out: "It only takes 100 million yuan, and each person has only one chance."
Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "It's too expensive, don't do it!"
There are also many life-extending drugs in his system warehouse, which is easy to extend his life span by four or five hundred years, and there is no need to enter this medical door.
One hundred million yuan, the price of killing a fat pig. If it is in Zone 52, millions of people can complete life-extending treatment. The total life-extending time is hundreds of millions of years, and this place has shrunk to 500 years.
"Welcome next time."
The lights of the medical door dimmed.
Zhou Ming continued to walk towards the front of the passage.
...
upper layer.
A mysterious hall in the center.
Five people stood in front of a projection screen and stared at the upcoming newcomer in the picture. There was no expression on the faces of the five people.
"A fresh flea jumped up." After a long time, one of them spoke.
"Do you want to take a picture of him?" another person asked.
"Of course, this hall is too small to accommodate so many people."
"He brought more than one billion yuan of money and there are three areas, and he may jump around for several days."
"If you bring this little money, you dare to come up. The newcomers are getting more and more courageous."
In the bad tone of the five, there was no one who showed any welcome to the upcoming newcomer.
...
the next day.
In the building complex with a transparent cover on the top of the mountain, I lived in a three-story independent villa with very complete internal conditions and facilities. Zhou Ming, who was served by a housework robot for three meals a day, quickly adapted to life in the upper floor area.
Standing on the edge of the transparent cover on the top of the mountain, holding a pair of telescope equipment in hand, Zhou Ming observed the surrounding environment of the mountain under his feet.
Most of the surroundings are towering snow-capped mountains.
Further south, you can see some plains.
In the north, there are brown and yellow plateau landforms.
The high mountain at the foot is roughly located in a tall mountain range in the middle of the continent. The peak at the foot is more than 10,000 meters above sea level, and is the highest peak on this planet - the meaning is equivalent to Mount Everest in his world.
Zhou Ming didn’t know why the designers of this world wanted to place the top area at such a high position. Is it necessary to set off the height of the status through physical altitude?
However, standing at the highest point of the surface of this planet, experience the natural artistic conception of "will be above the top of the top and overlooking all the mountains" every day, and enjoy the totalitarian taste of being above billions of people and manipulating the fate of countless people... It feels really good.
Even when the weather is sunny, Zhou Ming can even see that the eggshell-shaped sky curtain system covering many areas will reflect some light, so he can clearly see its tall pot-shaped top, which is almost parallel to the peak at his feet, as if several huge transparent tents were set up around this peak.
But a little difference is:
The people living in the transparent tent could not see him. He stood at the highest point but seemed to see everyone in the tent.
The gap between the two is one of the ants in the mound and the other is the gods in the temple.
...
Day 3.
After familiar with the environment, Zhou Ming met the five "masters" who had been living here.
In the resource hall, these five people did not express any expression of his arrival, and even their eyes were too lazy to stay on him, as if they treated him as air.
Zhou Ming found his work area and found that he didn't even have a chair for him to sit on. He immediately asked: Who has any extra chairs? Can you lend him one for him to sit on?
"Sorry, there are no extra chairs in this hall."
A person who was annoyed by the question said something to him.
Zhou Ming raised his lips, swept the other people, and raised his tone: "Oh, what do you mean is that one of you will leave here soon and free his chair for me?"
No one paid attention to him.
Zhou Ming's somewhat provocative words were not responded to the five people, and there was no fluctuation in their faces.
In addition, Zhou Ming was also very surprised that these five people not only had a zombie face every day, but their speech rhythm was as mechanical as a repeater, with no expression on their faces, and even their eyes were invisible and could not see anything.
He used the ability of "soul perspective" to see something from their souls, but he only saw a blank space and could not extract any information at all.
Even those who are born through perspective may be the same, because these five people are all "desireless".
The so-called "desireless" means that by sealing some thinking and combining it with some auxiliary "drugs", all of your own emotions, desires, personality, habits, etc. are suppressed, making yourself a person without emotions, no emotional fluctuations, and under any circumstances, they are extremely calm, objective, and rational, and will not expose any of their own defects and weaknesses to any opponent.
Therefore, for these five "desireless people" who had almost no flaws or weaknesses, Zhou Ming could not think of any way to deal with them for a moment.
It is impossible to integrate into them, because Zhou Ming and these desireless people are out of place everywhere.
What's more, the conflicts in interests between them are impossible to reconcile.
It can even be said that everyone in the top area has irreconcilable contradictions in terms of interests.
Because there are too many chairs in the resource hall, there are too many people sharing resources, and every "desireless" has a tacit ambition: this planet.
So the fewer competitors, the better, it is better to have only one left.
...
"Your resource area 50 is being purchased by someone who has an additional price of 1 million yuan. Is it following the price? If you don't reply within five minutes, the transaction will be successful."
On the sixth day after entering the top area, someone attacked Zhou Ming and wanted to buy the 50th area he had.
Zhou Ming didn't have many resources. As an exchange condition for entering the top-level area, all the resources he controlled in the resource exchange in the upper-level area, and those resources with a total value of more than 1.6 billion yuan, were only exchanged for three lower-level areas in the resource hall of the top-level area.
These three bottom areas are Area 49, Area 50 and Area 51 respectively.
The reason why the prices in the three zones are so expensive is that their holding period is permanent and unlimited.
That is, once the top-level resources are purchased, the owner enjoys permanent profit and absolute control.
This is compared with the holding period of all kinds of resources in the upper-level resource exchanges, which have a limited number of 30 years, 50 years, or 100 years, and permanently owned, which is equivalent to turning from a tenant farmer to a landlord.
But it doesn't mean you can rest assured.
Because of the rules of the game in the top area, it is even more cruel.
The top-level area, the bottom-level area, the civilian area, and the upper-level area also follows the most basic game rules: those who are capable will rise and the last place will be eliminated.
The "Top District Code" stipulates that in three cases, "elders" will also be ruthlessly eliminated.
Situation 1: If the number of resources controlled in the resource hall is 0, it will be eliminated immediately.
Situation 2: During the reshuffle, the one who controls the least resources will become the target of cleaning, deprive all assets, and clean one every hundred years.
Situation 3: After the elder dies (regardless of natural or unnatural death), all the resources and money he controls will be cleared and recycled by the system.
There is only one kind of rising situation: there is only one person left in this resource hall and controls all the resources, and the person controls the world and has the qualifications to talk and negotiate with the top designers of this world.
In other words, only those who control the entire top-level area can be able to truly own this world.
Even becoming the next "top designer".
So Zhou Ming concluded that the top area is still not the highest point in this world, because there are still rules here, various rules and regulations that limit him, and... there are also cruel rules for the elimination of the last place.
Only those who control rules, become rule changers, makers, and are not bound by any rules are the real masters of this world.
Zhou Ming called him the "ruler".
The following masters are the six elders who compete in the resource hall of the top-floor area and are competing for the "Gu King" every moment.
Unfortunately, Zhou Ming is the weakest among the six Gu insects.
And became the first choice to eliminate target in the eyes of the other five.
There is no other reason: he controls the least resources, he has the greatest chance of being eliminated, and he is almost satisfied with two types of elimination situations.
Moreover, it is less than a month since the "reshuffle". When we think that after the reshuffle, all resources will return to the lowest price and the money in everyone's accounts will be equal, the five "desireless people" no longer care about how much money they have left on hand. Let the new ones first let the blood.
then.
With less than a minute interval, Zhou Ming received two more messages through the money instrument in his hand.
"Your Resource Zone 49 is being purchased by someone who has an additional price of 1 million yuan. Is it following the price? If you don't reply within five minutes, the transaction will be successful."
