femme fatale [unlimited]

On the metal-textured ceiling, there are neat rows of incandescent lamp tubes, emitting pale light at the moment.

The whole room is square and the walls are silver-gray, like a huge tin box.The tables and chairs have sharp edges and corners, the lines are cold and hard, and they have a sense of technology.

On the long table in the middle of the room, a circle of people sat around.

Ning Mianmian glanced around, and there were about 20 of them.

After a few more people joined in, the game panel popped up.

【Welcome to the dungeon [Grid Room]. 】

[Please survive the dungeon for 72 hours. 】

【Reminder, your performance in the dungeon is very important.At the end of the copy, a comprehensive assessment will be made on your game process, if the assessment fails, it will directly lead to your death. 】

Ning Mianmian looked at the third line and frowned slightly.

In other words, this dungeon must not only survive, but also play well.If you don't play well, you will die in the end.It seems that after a while, we must first study the evaluation criteria of this dungeon, and what is considered to be a good game.

In fact, there are already a lot of points, so there is no need to rush into the dungeon.But Ning Mianmian thought that she couldn't always rely on Lin Cen, she had to become stronger herself.

And as she and Lin Cen got closer, the desire to become stronger became stronger.

Lin Cen gave her too much, but she didn't return anything, which made her feel uneasy all the time.

She knew that Lin Cen had a secret in him, and it was impossible for a person with a secret to be without twists and turns.When the twists and turns came, she hoped that she could help Lin Cen.

Ning Mianmian feels that her current life is like a deep lake, which is calm on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent.The malice hidden in the depths of the water will surge up at some point.

Until then, she wants to grow up fast.

[When technology develops to the top level, the living space of the bottom workers is compressed to the extreme. 】

[Class solidification is a foregone conclusion, and most of the world's resources are in the hands of a few people. 】

[As a low-level person from a slum, in order to make a living, you can only come to this large factory called "Changsheng" to work. 】

[You have heard that the treatment here is better than other factories, so you went there with the mentality of giving it a try. 】

["Longevity" includes food and housing, no mandatory working hours every day, more pay for more work.According to the description on the Internet, the gold coins obtained by working 8 hours a day are enough for a person to live for a day.This is almost impossible elsewhere. 】

[Fortunately, you successfully passed the interview, and after going through the complicated entry procedures, you successfully became one of them. 】

【Other people present are as lucky as you. This is your first day officially working in the factory. 】

[You guys came here to gather here at [-]:[-] a.m. in accordance with the notification requirements. 】

【Everyone is anxiously waiting...】

After reading the background of the game, Love sighed sincerely: "Ah, the evil capitalist."

The money earned by working for 8 hours is only enough for basic living, which can be said to squeeze the surplus value of people to the extreme.

The plush sitting on her right looked over expressionlessly: "Why do you have the nerve to talk about others?"

Love raised her hand and knocked on her forehead, making a crisp sound, "Did I treat you badly? Little heartless."

"That's because I'm valuable!" Fluffy covered her forehead and made a grimace, "If it wasn't for me, you would be the light bulb yourself, hmph."

After that, she lowered her head and hid the smile on her lips.

Love was really kind to her. Seeing that she was poor, he gave her a month's salary in advance.Her work in the store is also very simple and not tiring at all.Cleaning up during the day can be done in two hours, she can do it at any time.Love's bar is open from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] midnight, and she is responsible for serving as a waiter.Sometimes when Love is lazy and absent, she works part-time as the boss.

It's also very easy to clear the dungeon. It's because the man named Jize is busy, and he will teach her how to do the dungeon when he is free. She just needs to fight and exercise her muscles and bones.

Moreover, Love and Ji Ze did not exploit her income from the dungeon as she thought.No matter how many points and rewards she gets, it belongs to her personally.So in this period of more than a week, she became rich at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In fact, it wasn't just Love, Lin Cen and Ning Mianmian also took good care of her.When Jize was not free, it was the two of them who took her to the No. 7 plane to have fun.Ning Mianmian also taught her a lot of life skills. She learned them very quickly, and she can already proficiently go shopping alone, buying her favorite candied haws and roasted cold noodles.

This is life... What kind of life did she live in the past.

Hey, what day is it?

Forget it, it doesn't matter, she can't remember it anyway.

Seeing that Love didn't speak anymore, Rongrong thought she was really angry, so she secretly glanced at her.

Only to find that the other party didn't look at her, but stared intently at someone across the table.

It was a beautiful woman with cold eyes, thin lips, and long black hair scattered behind her back like satin.On the delicate collarbone, there is a small black cross necklace.

She was dressed in a black dress, her figure was tall and straight, her long legs gracefully overlapped.The light reflected her fair and delicate skin, like a handful of fine snow on the eaves under the warm winter sun.

Fluffy looked at the woman, then at Love, who was in a trance, with a nasty smile on his lips.

She coughed lightly, and touched Love with her hand, "Are you stupid?"

Love came back to her senses, reached out and pinched her face, "I want you to take care of it."

She wanted to tease Rongrong again, but she heard Lin Cen next to her whisper, "That's Jiang Wan, didn't you want to lure her into the guild before, but you couldn't find anyone."

Hearing Jiang Wan's name, Love froze for a moment, then quickly realized.

She opened the master list, called up Jiang Wan's photo, and compared it with the woman in front of her, and it was indeed her.Otherwise, how could she look familiar.

Ning Mianmian couldn't help but lean over to take a look. She had an impression of the name Jiang Wan, after all, she had studied the master list.Moreover, Jiang Wan was on the list after Lin Cen, and her name was next to Lin Cen's, so the impression was even deeper.

She couldn't help but secretly asked Lin Cen: "Sister, why doesn't she pinch her face?"

Lin Cen said, "In order to make it easier for others to recognize her."

Ning Mianmian was shocked: "She wants to be recognized?"

In her perception, players on the master list should keep a low profile so as not to be treated as living targets.Once it is too ostentatious, it will attract all kinds of people with different purposes, which is very troublesome.

Lin Cen said lightly: "She is different from others."

Fluffy couldn't hold back her curiosity for a long time, she leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's different?"

"Jiang Wan has a nickname." Lin Cen glanced at the woman opposite, "Killing Machine."

Fluffy's eyes lit up, "It's so cool, I want it too!"

Ning Mianmian patted her on the head, "You can keep your voice down."

She seemed to understand why Jiang Wan didn't have to pinch her face anymore. She used such a name to show off in the dungeon. Who dared to provoke her, and it saved her a lot of trouble.

Love sighed: "It's the first time I met her in person. She is so beautiful in person, much prettier than the photos, and I didn't even recognize her."

Fluffy also agrees with this point, echoing: "It's really beautiful."

Maybe it was because the fluffy voice was too loud, Jiang Wan finally noticed the movement here, raised her eyes and glanced at the few people lightly.

Love sat up straight, smiled dignifiedly, and said to Rong Rong earnestly: "Children, don't swear, it's uncivilized."

Rongrong: ... She endured taking people's money.

At this time, the metal door of the room opened automatically, and a tall man walked in.

The man was wearing a crisp black suit, his hair was combed neatly with hairspray, and he had a professional smile on his face.He appeared to be of mixed race, with deep-set features and light blue eyes.

The man introduced himself: "Hi everyone, I'm your supervisor, Charles."

He walked over to the large cabinet against the wall and pressed the button on the door.

The reminder light came on, the camera scanned his face, and then the door of the cabinet opened and slid to the sides.

Everyone stretched their necks to look, and saw the cabinet that occupied the entire wall, which was divided into small grids one after another, and each small grid contained neatly folded blue overalls.

Charles took out one and unfolded it, and showed it: "This is the tooling for 'Longevity', one for each person, please queue up to get it."

The players looked at each other, then stood up and lined up in unison.

Ning Mianmian was at the front of the queue, and soon received the overalls.She found that there was a code on the back of the overalls, in orange-yellow, palm-sized fonts, which was very eye-catching.

Her code is: island07.

Ning Mianmian looked at the codes of other people around her, and she found that the prefix of everyone's codes was island, the only difference was the numbers behind.A total of 25 people, numbered from 1 to 25.

Island, island?Does it have any special meaning?

The other players obviously had the same confusion. People in some teams had already stood together in twos and threes and started discussing in low voices.

Charles seemed to have guessed what everyone was thinking, and took the initiative to explain: "There are too many employees in our factory. If we only use numbers to label, the code will become very long and difficult to remember. So we improved the coding method. Each batch of new All incoming employees will be assigned a word as a prefix, followed by a number."

"Employees who enter the factory at the same time will work in the same area, so that when communicating with each other, they only need to call their numbers, which saves time and facilitates everyone to call each other."

Ning Mianmian paused slightly.Although Charles said it was for the convenience of employees, in fact, the biggest beneficiary of the behavior of coding employees is probably the factory managers.

Not just for the convenience of statistics related data.The name is warm and meaningful, but the code is just a series of cold codes.

Using codes to address a person for a long time, deliberately ignoring and downplaying his real name, is itself an act of materialization.

If the self is not firm enough, over time, maybe even he himself will regard himself as an object.He will only execute orders mechanically, and will not think about what is there or what is not.

As a manager, who doesn't like obedient employees?

Ning Mianmian looked at Charles' impeccable smile, showing a thoughtful expression.

Although she has just entered this dungeon, she has already begun to feel the exploitation and oppression here.

Everywhere, like an invisible net, the entire factory is shrouded in its shadow.

Someone asked: "Mr. Charles, does the code prefix 'island' have any special meaning?"

"No, all the prefixes are just words we randomly selected." Charles squeezed his chin, and then gave a soft "ah", as if he remembered something.

He said: "However, there is one thing that is very strange. The prefix 'island' seems unlucky, and it always consumes very quickly, which adds a lot of costs to us."

The player didn't understand: "What consumes so fast?"

Charles stared at him and said with a smile, "Employee."
