Tool Man's Guide to Getting Rich

The mercenary group that Qiao Sen belongs to ranks high in the entire Western Continent. Not only do they have prophets in charge, but they can also obtain some relatively secret rumors from higher levels.

The presence of a visitor from another world was vaguely predicted by the prophets in their corps, and the head of the regiment found familiar people and verified it with a higher-level existence.

Although it is not clear what the visitor from another world is and when it will come back, the mercenary group still made some simple preparations for it.

As one of the high-level officials, Qiao Sen naturally received a related task. After the prophet predicted the places where visitors from another world would appear first, he led one of the informed teams to take charge of one of the spots.

It happened that the village where his good brother Gong Jian lived was also one of the landmarks, so Qiao Sen directly chose this place, thinking that he could also get in touch with his good brother by the way.

"But even though this may be an opportunity," Qiao Sen said to his subordinates, "we still have to focus on maintaining order. The adult said that visitors from other worlds may have some strange behaviors, and we just ignore them Good; but if someone violates the rules of the Western Continent, we will take action."

The strong man beside him patted his chest and said, "No problem. Our mercenary regiment is not only doing treasure hunting, isn't this kind of thing similar to guarding and maintaining order?"

There was also a younger guy who couldn't help but interjected: "Our job sounds similar to those guards in the city."

Someone immediately teased him: "Why, do you still want to be the guard of the city? He is a serious knight. Speaking of which, the captain of the guard of Muen City is a headless horseman, right? That guy's fighting power is real. powerful."

While talking, the topic of several people was diverted, and they began to discuss the combat effectiveness of the guards in the Muen City Guard.Their team can be regarded as an elite team, and their strength can be regarded as upper-middle in the entire mercenary group, but they are only on par with the ordinary teammates of the Muen City Guard.

That headless horseman's force value is really high. Once a team member wanted to compete with him, but he didn't even use his skills, and just used ordinary attacks and blocks to defeat them.

At that time, they were still amazed by this incident, and they were still wondering if the member of the guard team would be devastated because of this, but they didn't expect that he would suddenly become the opponent's fanboy, and they couldn't do without the headless knight captain in three words.

After Muen City fought a wave of beasts, they finally knew why the opponent admired the Headless Horseman so much.

The difference between Qiao Sen's real combat power and the Headless Horseman's should not be too big, but if you really want to compete, you may not be able to win against him.But this does not prevent him from "cherishing each other" with each other.After hearing what his subordinates said, he also joined the topic: "Having power is not difficult, but having power and not abusing it is not a simple matter."

The Headless Horseman is originally a creature of the dark attribute, and many of his skills are corrosive and absorbing.If it is really used, it can easily repel most of the people who come to compete.

But because these skills are not friendly to the eaters of most elements, the headless rider will pay great attention to this point when competing with others. If you can use the skills, you can use the skills. Do your best to help the other party deal with the consequences of the corrosion.

Among the mercenary regiments that speak the most about loyalty and strength, the Headless Horseman has a good reputation.

The group continued on their way while chatting, and soon arrived at the edge of the village that Gong Jian mentioned.Their appearance attracted the attention of the villagers who were working nearby. An old man who was collecting roadside plants noticed them and stopped what he was doing and asked, "Did the adventurers come to our village for supplies?"

The location of their village is quite important, and there are a few children selling things that seem to be very useful to adventurers, so they have also gotten used to the adventurers who appear around the village from time to time during this period of time.

However, the adventurers who came here before were basically in small groups, and this is the first time I have seen a team of more than a dozen people like this.

Qiao Sen didn't know whether Gong Jian had mentioned himself to the people in the village before. He took a look at the scattered houses in the village, and after confirming that he couldn't tell which one was his good brother's house, he told the truth : "I'm here to find my good brother Gong Jian, can you tell me where he lives?"

After hearing Gong Jian's name, the old man looked up at Qiao Sen carefully, recalled for a moment and said, "You are the friend of the mercenary group that Gong Jian mentioned, right?"

Without waiting for Qiao Sen to answer, he pointed to a house near the foot of the mountain and said, "See that red-roofed house over there? He lives there."

After Qiao Sen left with his men, the old man touched his chin and sighed: "I thought that guy Gong Jian was joking, but I didn't expect a brother to come here. I don't know if it's from here What's going to happen? Look at him bringing so many people, it doesn't look like he's just resting."

After standing still and pondering for a while, the old man simply gave up and continued to collect, and walked in the direction of his old buddy, intending to analyze the next situation with him.

Qiao Sen didn't know that the old man had guessed that there might be something wrong with him as soon as he met him. He followed the old man's directions and found the red-roofed house very smoothly.

Before he could knock, the door was opened from the inside.

"I'm going to see if there are suitable plants on the mountain to collect. You can cook by yourself, or wait until I come back to have dinner together."

Gong Jian turned his head to talk to Lu Xiaoyan, while continuing to push the door open and walk out.

Before he took a few steps, he realized something was wrong.

The place in front of their house is quite open and bright, why is it so dark all of a sudden?

With this question in mind, Gong Jian raised his head and glanced at the situation outside.

I don't know if I don't see it, but when I saw Gong Jian's face unconsciously showed a bit of surprise: "Qiao Sen! I thought it would take a while for you to come here, but I didn't expect you to come here so soon!"

Qiao Sen was a little excited to see Gong Jian so soon, but no matter what, he was more mentally prepared, so after Gong Jian confirmed who he was, he immediately stepped forward and hugged him.

"Didn't you say to go out, why don't you close the door."

Lu Xiaoyan's voice came from inside the room, and she walked towards the door as she spoke, as if she was going to help Gong Jian close the door.

Qiao Sen saw Lu Xiaoyan in the room at a glance. He let go of Gong Jian's hand and greeted her politely: "This is sister-in-law, right? Hello, sister-in-law!"

Lu Xiaoyan glanced at Gong Jian, meaning why didn't you tell me when your brother came, and then smiled at Qiao Sen: "You are Qiao Sen, right? I heard my family Gong Jian mentioned you. It may be too late at noon today , bring your brothers to my house for dinner tonight?"

Qiao Sen originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing the names of the dishes that Lu Xiaoyan reported, he shamefully became greedy.Pretending not to see Gong Jian's dissatisfied gaze, he nodded and responded, "I'll ask my brothers to help! By the way, sister-in-law, we even brought you gifts, and we'll bring them to you in the evening!"

It's not that he doesn't want to take out the gift now, it's just that Gong Jian looks like he wants to go out. Qiao Sen thinks that although he is a bit informal, it sounds a bit strange to bring a group of brothers to stay alone with his sister-in-law ?

Lu Xiaoyan didn't know what Qiao Sen was thinking. After hearing what the other party said, she smiled and said, "You're here right now. What gift do you bring?"

That's what she said, but her favorability for Qiao Sen has also increased a lot - at least he is not as casual as he seems, but rather rough and subtle, and he still understands the ways of the world.

Gong Jian didn't know about the lawsuit between the two of them. After reporting to Lu Xiaoyan, he simply took Qiao Sen and his team to the restaurant in the village for dinner.

Winnie was entertaining a few new adventurers in the store at this time. Seeing Gong Jian approaching, she thought he was looking for John: "John is in the kitchen, do you need me to call him out?"

Gong Jian waved his hand, exposed Qiao Sen behind him, and explained: "I came here to eat with my friends this time, let my brothers taste your good cooking?"

Although Wei Ni was curious about how Gong Jian met this group of people who didn't seem easy to provoke, she also knew that now was not the time to be curious.After arranging the seats for this group of people, Wei Ni searched out the menu from the front desk and handed it to Gong Jian: "You know what John and I are good at, so let's see what dishes to order."

While Gong Jian was busy entertaining his brothers, Gong Lu and his little friend also inadvertently learned a special news.

"The adventurer said just now," Lucia frowned, recording all her doubts in her notebook, "There may be strange people appearing on the Western Continent... What kind of person does this strange person refer to? "

Sisi touched the bow and arrow in his hand, and said his guess: "There are many people with different hobbies on the mainland. If it can be said to be strange, it should be because their behavior patterns are completely inconsistent?"

After all, no matter how peculiar a person's hobbies are, their own behavior pattern will not deviate too far from the general pattern of the Western Continent.

Marina curled her lips: "Didn't you just talk nonsense?"

The Western Continent is very tolerant of "strangeness". If it can be called "strangeness" at will, it must not be ordinary and different.

Marina muttered a few words, roughly saying, "I think the strangest person is Ceci, who talks nonsense without knowing what to think every day."

Listening to the communication of the friends, Gong Lu had a guess.

The adventurer said that he accidentally saw in the prophecy crystal ball that strange people would appear on the mainland, and the player didn't fit this guess?

The behavior of players known as the fourth natural disaster is extremely unpredictable when playing games, and their own habits are also different from those of the Western Continent. It is normal to be called "strange people".

I don't know where the first players will appear?

But according to what Gong Lu learned, this "game" didn't go through the internal test first, but opened all the maps when it came up, and went directly to the "public test".

Gong Lu wasn't sure if it was because they were too impatient, or because the world awareness of this plane could not be effectively blocked. In short, from the perspective of the protagonist, when the game was first launched, it was criticized by many because of its high degree of freedom. The tap water was pushed onto the altar, and many people tried their best to provoke the mobs outside the high-level map, and they were sent back to the birth point without accident.

And the players who were considered by Gong Lu are indeed paying attention to the game at this time. Many major manufacturers are still researching VR and AR games. Netizens who surf the Internet every day can't believe their eyes.

-"When I saw the person who posted the news, I planned to skip it. My eyes accidentally caught the keyword hologram. I couldn't help but pull it back and take a closer look. After reading it, I felt that I was either on a 2G network or got fake news. I was about to When I reported it, I remembered who the news releaser was..."

-"My mental journey is similar to yours, but I clicked in from the hot search, and I am still wondering which factory is making false propaganda this time. I don't want holographic games to develop faster, and VR is a little more realistic. Some are fine too. Didn’t expect such a big cake from the official department?”

- "It's not my conspiracy theory. The scientific research department of the alliance has not been able to produce any reliable results in the past few years. Is it always researching this, or the funds have been embezzled, and now I just find something to make a deal?"

- "It seems that the quota will be drawn soon. Anyway, there is no money for the lottery draw. I will also draw it when the time comes. No free draw, no draw~"

- "I want to go too! I worked hard to pay taxes, not to let the scientific research department make big cakes for everyone."

Netizens were bustling because of the bomb that suddenly exploded. In a room on a certain floor of an apartment building, a young man suddenly woke up from his dream.

He sat up from the bed and took a few deep breaths. After confirming that the environment he was in was safe, he had time to slowly study the current state.

"This room...isn't this my previous home?"

Su Che looked at the doll bear with a foolish smile on the bed, subconsciously took it off and hugged it in his arms, sorting out the memories in his mind.

His parents died in a car accident when he was in high school, leaving him only the savings in the bank and the small flat that has not yet repaid the loan.

Fortunately, the responsible party had a good attitude. Not only did he send his parents to the hospital immediately after the car accident, he took the initiative to contract all the medical expenses, and he also gave him a large amount of compensation after his parents did not survive. gold.

Su's father and Su's mother also regained consciousness in the hospital. After knowing their situation, they even held Su Che's hand to tell him not to blame the party responsible for the accident.

It was also from Su's father and Su's mother that he knew that the "culprit" he thought was actually a victim.

Someone threw garbage out of the car window and it floated onto the front windows of the two of them.The two cars collided because the line of sight was blocked.

At that time, Su Che wanted to return the money to the other party, but the other party refused him.

"No matter how I say it, I am more powerful than you," the man said without any sense of arrogance, but it made people feel that he should be like this by nature, "The person who throws garbage is the main responsibility, and the one I raised The legal team has enough time and energy to find that person and file a lawsuit with him to make him lose money, but you are still a student, and many things are inconvenient. So it is most appropriate for me to compensate you first, and then go to the person for compensation .”

At that time, Su Che was just an underage child. After being told by the other party, he agreed in a muddle.Afterwards, he paid off the loan in one lump sum with deposits and compensation, and bought another small property for rent.The rest of the compensation was deposited in the bank by him, and he usually lives on rent and interest.

Following this trajectory, he will talk to a partner in college, and after graduation, he will either break up or continue dating until he gets married, find a matching job, and live his life in a normal way.

But who would have thought that he would enter that game on the recommendation of his roommate, and be hunted down because of the props he obtained in the game?

He glanced at the time on his phone and made sure that he had returned to the time when he had just lived alone.

At that time, he was still immersed in the pain of losing his parents. If it wasn't for Su's mother holding his hand and telling him to live a good life, he might not even be able to survive mechanically.

Afterwards, he went to university, and chose to live directly because he didn't want to stay in this room full of memories.During the time when I was hunted down, I ran away and did not dare to return to my home. Now I see this familiar and warm room, and I feel a sense of relaxation for no reason.

Just when Su Che was about to turn off the phone screen and get up to find something to eat for himself, he saw several messages coming from the phone.

After clicking in, I found that people in the group were discussing holographic games.

Su Che couldn't remember whether he had seen other people's discussion messages at this time in his previous life, but the conversations of his high school classmates reminded him of what his roommates had said to him.

"At the beginning, everyone thought that the scientific research department was lying, and they said that they would not draw for nothing, but they didn't expect to fill in so much information for the lottery. So the holographic helmet is really a lottery, but the holographic cabin still has extra places. After knowing that the holographic game is real, everyone regretted it. I saw a lot of posts on the forum, saying that there were many opportunities in the game at the beginning. I have to fill out too many questionnaires!"

Thinking of this, Su Che was not in a hurry to get something to eat.He found Xingbo directly from the mobile phone software, searched for the link to sign up for the lucky draw, and directly clicked on the option to draw the holographic cabin.

As the roommate said, people who want to draw the holopod have to fill out a long questionnaire.

Su Che noticed when filling out that although the questionnaire was very detailed, it rarely asked about personal privacy and other information, and it was more about testing the other party's psychological state and moral bottom line.

After filling in all the information, bind the name with the citizen number, and then you can successfully participate in the lottery.

When binding the account, Su Che hesitated for a moment, but then he did it anyway.When he played the game, this holographic game had already been promoted to the entire league, and he could register an account without a real name, but the other party came to him quickly.

It can be seen that whether the account is real-named or not is not the point at all, as long as he develops better in the game in advance and lets more people know about himself, those people will not be so blatant.

Thinking of this, Su Che decided to open another Starblog to record his experience in the game.In his previous life, many people became Internet celebrities through this method. He was careful not to reveal too many secrets, and it would be safer to be exposed to the eyes of everyone.

Thinking of this, Su Che sent out the first blog post.

Today I am still playing the game: "I participated in the draw of the holographic cabin, I hope I don't run with [picture]"

The accompanying picture is a screenshot of the lottery page after the successful submission.

After doing all this, Su Che felt hungry belatedly.

He glanced at the time and found that he had spent two or three hours just filling out the questionnaire.

"No wonder there are not enough people in the lottery," Su Che muttered in a low voice, "Maybe everyone thinks that the scientific research department wants to take this opportunity to collect data?"

It's not just Su Che who thinks this way, many netizens have asked such questions after being violently attacked by the questionnaire.

- "In? Is it because the money is gone and there is no way to hire the subjects?"

- "??? I managed to fill out one page, but found that there are still several pages in such a long one? Give up, why don't you just go to the helmet and click a little bit."

- "Indeed, I couldn't hold on until halfway through."

Because Su Che's Starblog included keywords such as holographic cabin lottery, some curious people accidentally discovered his Starblog, and left messages below.

- "Amazing, someone actually filled out that garbage questionnaire!"

- "I don't want to watch this lottery without you!"

- "Follow first. If the blogger is qualified, I hope to share some pictures of the game. Then I can see if it is true or not."

- "Do you fill out the questionnaire?"

- "Go to my homepage to see..."

Su Che didn't expect his account to become popular unintentionally. He was busy finishing some formalities at this moment, so that he could arrange his summer vacation time.

He has just finished the college entrance examination, and he has just signed a contract with the tenant for the house he bought, so he has a lot of money and time.The day before the lottery quota was announced, he went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, intending not to leave the house for a short time.

If it weren't for the fact that the current holographic cabin has not yet developed to the point where nutrient solution can be used later, Su Che even planned not to leave the holographic cabin for a short time.

After everything was ready, Su Che had a good night's sleep. When he woke up the next day, as soon as he opened Xingbo, he was so shocked by the countless news pushes that he couldn't hold his phone.

He clicked in and took a look, only to find that the results of the lottery had been announced.

A total of 78 holographic cabins were drawn from the entire alliance, but only [-] people actually completed the questionnaire.So those netizens who knew that Su Che participated in the lottery all left messages under Xingbo, expressing their envy, jealousy and hatred.
