players lead the world

Chapter 9 I play games, games play me?
I had a home-cooked Sichuan meal at a small restaurant near the community.

Zhou Ze ordered six meat dishes by himself, and ate five bowls of rice in one sitting.

That gobbled-up look almost became a scene in a small restaurant. The diners and waiters at other tables looked at the pile of rice bowls in front of him in astonishment, thinking that he was some anchor with a big appetite...

Fortunately, halfway through his meal, he realized that his appetite was too large to attract attention, so he wiped his mouth slowly, and asked the waiter to take away the rest of the dishes, along with three more servings of rice.

Carrying the packaged meals, he went to the computer city not far away to buy three PS5 controllers, which really hurt him after all the expenses.

After returning home, he finished the remaining packed meals, satiated himself, and his mental exhaustion seemed to have eased a lot under the feeling of fullness. He began to think calmly.

"It cost more than 7000 to buy the latest game console, 4 to buy a [-]K TV, and another [-] to buy three spare handles...the deposit is less than [-], and I'm not sure where I will spend the money in the future , I’m afraid I’ll eat dirt if I don’t get any money.”

Zhou Ze lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

He is 22 years old. Three days ago, he was a 2-to-[-] migrant worker who often worked overtime. After getting the system, he chose to resign without hesitation and decided to make a big move with his only [-] yuan in savings.

how to say?The world game system did not disappoint him.

Whether it is the sense of accomplishment of saving the planet or the real benefits of strengthening the body, it is impeccable.

But so far he has not seen any direct cash flow.

To put it simply and crudely, it is to make money!
There is no such thing as a pure saint in this world, Zhou Ze can say responsibly that he is just a layman who has not deviated from vulgar tastes.

Although he doesn't resist the noble and noble thing of trying to save the earth once in a while, his lifelong dream is to make a lot of money!It would be great if he could gain both fame and fortune, live a long life, and be invincible all over the world.

"By the way, there is also a high-level spirit stone and a book of Xuanxiu breathing method in the portable interface, which may come in handy. The world mall is also unlocked. Maybe you can find a way to make money in the new game."

Zhou Ze shrank into the quilt and rubbed his temples with his fingertips: "I have a terrible headache, forget it, go to sleep first, and think about it tomorrow if you have any problems."

This time he fell asleep for more than 20 hours.

When I woke up again, it was the evening of the second day.

"Huh, the headache doesn't hurt anymore, is the negative buff of mental exhaustion over?"

Stretching with a refreshed expression, looking at the setting sun outside the window, Zhou Ze's belly gurgled and squirmed, he opened the takeaway software without hesitation, and ordered some family buckets and pizza.

Get up, wash your face, brush your teeth, turn on the TV and watch the news.

He is not very gregarious, and he rarely takes the initiative to make friends. He has long been used to this solitary rhythm of life.

This house was left to him after his parents passed away in a car accident eight years ago, so there is no need to consider the cost of rent. If it weren’t for the large expenses caused by buying new game consoles and TVs, more than 2 yuan is actually enough for him to have no worries. Consider living for a year or two.

News reports about asteroids continue to be hot.

The national media is speculating about his origin, while some religions simply claim that he is a savior sent by the gods, or regard him as a hidden guardian of the earth.

'Big Hero', 'Savior', 'Future Warrior', 'Earth Guardian'...

Seeing the overwhelming praise and cheers on the TV network, as well as the International Savior Day specially set up by the United Nations for him, Zhou Ze, who was curled up on the sofa, couldn't stop his smirk.

Perhaps this is the joy of being a superhero.

No wonder so many people with powerful abilities in the comics are willing to be heroes for free. This feeling of being admired and surrounded by others is really addictive.

Within half an hour, the delivery boy came to the door.

"Eh? It's you, what a coincidence to meet again."

Unexpectedly, it was the delivery boy who invited him to drink beer yesterday to deliver food to him.

"Do you want to eat something together?"

Zhou Ze took the takeaway and put it on the table, then took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and handed it to him.

"No, I still have an order to deliver."

The delivery boy smiled, took the Coke and took a few sips: "I was partying for two hours yesterday and missed several orders. Fortunately, the platform didn't deduct much money, only the food expenses... Tsk, it's the end of the world. If you haven’t come, you haven’t come, but we workers still have to work hard to survive.”

Faced with this kind of self-deprecating, he didn't know how to respond, so he patted the takeaway brother on the shoulder: "Migrant workers are the soul of labor, and migrant workers are all masters. There will always be a day when you will make it through, come on."

"It can be seen that you are not doing well, and you still stay at home on weekends to eat supper alone, and encourage each other."

The takeaway guy didn't chat with him too much, and hurriedly stared at the order time limit on his phone and left.

"It's hard work."

Zhou Ze went back to the living room and said to himself: "Speaking of which, the Small World game shouldn't be solved by me every time, right? Then I'm also a migrant worker? Or a high-risk migrant worker... ..."

Yesterday's first game was his own incarnation as a game character. It's hard for him not to doubt that the future will be the same.

While eating fried chicken and drinking coke, he turned on the game console.

[Game device detected, is it connected to the world game system? 】

[Please select the type of connected world: big world, small world. 】

After choosing to connect to the small world, this time there is no gorgeous and complicated opening screen, and it directly jumps out of the high-tech main interface of the game console.

'Small world, big difference~~'

The booting sound is a lovely loli voice that is as clear as a silver bell, sung in a crisp singing tone.

"It seems a little different from last time?"

Zhou Ze was slightly surprised, but his attention was quickly attracted by the unlocked content.

Yesterday, he only had time to check the portable interface and receive achievement rewards, but he didn't click on the newly unlocked game store.

【Optional game characters】

【Earth Small World Mall】

"Huh? A game character?"

He was thinking about this question just now, but he didn't expect it to be the first one in the mall?
Click on the 'Optional Game Characters' option.

A row of character candidate boxes similar to MOBA games come into view.

But almost all candidate boxes are unlocked gray question marks, and only one extremely familiar character is available in color.

That character... was himself!

Even the clothes the character wears are exactly the same as what he is wearing now!
"Fuck?!"

But the old man is uneducated, so he can walk the world with a single sentence.

Don't underestimate this shit, the tone of it is cadenced, long and powerful, which not only shows his astonishment and confusion, but also expresses his "kind greetings" to the world game system.

"Is it true that I'm the only game character? Convex(她盘哉) Does this count as me playing the game or the game playing me?"

Zhou Ze looked up to the sky and sighed, trying to select other unlocked gray question marks.

[Please obtain game characters through 'Big World Game'. 】

"Big world game?"

Zhou Ze was confused for a moment, remembering the world type option that pops up every time he connects to the game console.

"Is it possible to obtain other game characters in the Big World game? But it seems that you need a level 3 player permission to unlock it. Speaking of which, the player level seems to have appeared in the upper right corner of the interface."

He exited the game store and clicked on the 'player level' in the upper right corner of the interface.

['Little Mengxin' Zhou Ze: Level 1 player authority, 1 skill slots, 5 storage slots, 1 titles. 】

[Clear two one-star games to upgrade to level 2 player authority: current progress 1/2. 】

"Oh? It seems that it's not that difficult to upgrade to level 3 player authority. You can upgrade to level 2 authority by playing one more game."

Zhou Ze stroked his chin: "Even if level 3 requires twice as many games as level 2, there are only four games at most. After unlocking the big world game, I can get other game characters..."

This cyclical and gradual process is very similar to starting a business.

When the company first started, everything needed to be done by the boss himself, but as soon as it got on the right track, the boss transformed from a tired worker with a blessing to a master of capital, and could happily command and spur other workers.

In the first few games, he needed to rely on himself to provide one-stop service. He played the game, and the game played him...

But as long as he reaches level 3 game permissions and unlocks other game characters through the big world, he can hide behind the scenes and manipulate those game characters to kill them.

He is responsible for making decisions and giving orders, and the game characters are responsible for executing them. Isn't this the relationship between the boss and the employees?Beautiful.
