femme fatale [unlimited]

Ning Mianmian shook her hands, and the few books she had just received fell to the ground with a clatter.

She didn't care to pick it up, screamed, and quickly started running out.

The books on both sides passed by quickly, and the crisp footsteps echoed behind.

Ning Mianmian ran, and soon realized something was wrong.

It's a little too quiet around here.

The sound of the TV and other people walking and talking disappeared, and there was no other movement except her own footsteps.

The bookshelves that were supposed to run to the end in just a few seconds stretched straight into the distance at this moment, with no end in sight.

Ning Mianmian stopped, put a [Protective Shield] on herself, and then summoned [Heart Piercing].

She took a deep breath, and tightly held the long and narrow crossbow arm of the crossbow. The heavy weight made her feel a little more stable.

The lost sanity gradually came back, and Ning Mianmian suddenly realized something.

The position where the little boy's face appeared just now is at least 1.7 meters from the ground, which is not the height of a normal child at all.

And she is very sure that he is not any player here.

So who is he?And where the hell is this?

At this moment, a faint figure suddenly appeared in Ning Mianmian's vision.From far to near, they are rushing towards her at an extremely fast speed.

Ning Mianmian's eyes sank, and she quickly fired a dozen crossbows/arrows at the shadow, then turned her head and ran back.

Her heart was beating so hard that it almost jumped out of her chest.

Footsteps gradually sounded behind her, getting closer and closer. Obviously, the crossbow/arrow she shot was cleverly avoided by the other party.

Ning Mianmian looked sideways slightly, and sure enough, she saw the little boy chasing her in her direction.There was a stiff smile on his face, as if it had been pasted with glue, which made people panic when they saw it.

Noticing Ning Mianmian's gaze, the little boy let out a strange roar from his throat, and then the corners of his mouth became more exaggerated, and he could even see the scarlet tongue and white fangs clearly.

Ning Mianmian had goosebumps all over her body. While running, she called up the game panel and called up the [Poison Needle] skill.

She wasn't sure if this stun skill would have an effect on the ghost behind her, but the little boy was faster than her, and it would be a matter of time before he was caught up.In this case, she could only give it a try.

So she turned around suddenly, and shot a few more crossbows/arrows at the little boy who had already run in front of her, and then used the [Poison Needle] skill at him while the boy was dodging.

The little boy paused, then slowly lowered his eyes.

Ning Mianmian was overjoyed, raised [Chuan Xin] to hit the little boy's head hard twice.She was about to make up the knife, but the opponent's body slid down softly, and finally dissipated into a cloud of smoke.

The smoke dissipated, and she returned to the position just now, with books scattered on the ground at her feet.

A familiar female voice sounded not far away: "What's wrong with you?"

Ning Mianmian was slightly startled, and turned her head, only to see Lin Cen walking towards her.

Relieved, she ran over in three steps and two steps, reaching out to hold the other's hand.The warmth of the palm passed over, which relieved her mood a lot.

Ning Mianmian originally wanted to tell Lin Cen what happened just now in detail, but when she thought about the gold coins being withheld, she abruptly stopped talking.

She collected herself and said to Lin Cen, "I'm fine, hurry up and read the book first, and we'll talk about it later when we go out."

Lin Cen said, "Then I'll be with you."

After a pause, he added as if casually, "Love is not far away, just in the next row."

As she spoke, she began to choose books from nearby bookshelves, taking out a few and carefully flipping through them.Ning Mianmian knew that the other party said this to reassure herself, her heart warmed up, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

The three of them refilled another 20 gold coins each, and just read the book seriously for half an hour without any abnormality happening.

After leaving the entertainment area, they returned to the dining area and found a quiet corner to exchange clues.

Fluffy was the first to speak, "After watching the TV, I thought about it deeply. I think this world is different from your No. 7 plane."

Ning Mianmian resisted the urge to complain about her, and asked, "What's different?"

Rong Rong said: "I watched the entertainment programs for a while, and found that the status of celebrities here is very low. Compared with yours, it is like a sky and a world."

She held her chin and recalled, and murmured: "The games in variety shows are very difficult. At the beginning, it was a game of eating bugs. Live bugs, whoever eats the most wins. Those little stars can fight , one by one desperately stuffing them into their mouths..."

Love said quietly: "It's a pity that you were not invited to this variety show."

Fluffy rolled her eyes at her, "I'm telling you seriously, besides, how many times have I told you that I don't like eating bugs at all!"

Lin Cen murmured, "There should be a mouse-eating game, isn't it the same?"

Before the topic got off track, Ning Mianmian urged: "What else?"

She was really convinced, she felt that she was the only one in this group of people who seriously brushed the dungeon.

Rongrong said: "The second game is that everyone wears skates and hangs many small targets on their bodies, and then they attack each other with weapons. They are real weapons. There are knives and hammers. On the surface, they attack the targets on each other's bodies. But when we actually play, we will inevitably hurt each other."

"But those people seem to feel no pain, their wounds are bloody, and they have to limp up to chase other people. The host explained next to him, saying that now biotechnology is advanced, there are many AI stars, and Many stars who have undergone genetic modification in the early embryonic stage, if ordinary human stars don't work hard, they can only be eliminated."

"And when the winner was interviewed after the game, that person was very excited and said that after receiving the bonus, she could finally continue to pay the rent of the capsule apartment. Originally, she had been in arrears with the rent for several months and was about to be evicted."

Ning Mianmian asked, "Capsule apartment?"

Rongrong said: "Yes, I changed the channel later and saw the capsule apartment on the news. It's not much bigger than our sleeping place...it's almost as big as a cubicle."

Ning Mianmian frowned, feeling a little puzzled.

She knew that as the gap between rich and poor widened, it would become increasingly difficult for the poor.I also know that if capitalists gradually replace human beings with AI and genetically modified people, it is not uncommon for human stars to go underground.

After all, the two can not only customize their appearance according to the mainstream aesthetics, but also have much higher physical and mental strength than ordinary humans.What humans can't do, they can easily do.

It's just that she doesn't understand, since the situation is so miserable, why these people still choose the road of stardom.Not only is the economic level not much better than that of workers, but there is always the risk of injury.

After Rongrong finished speaking, the remaining three people also briefly summarized what they had read in the book.

There are valuable books on the shelf that actually cover about the same thing, so the job is not difficult.

In the world in this dungeon, the level of science and technology is extremely high, especially the rapid development of biotechnology, which has reached the peak level.Things that were unimaginable before have now been realized one by one.Such as organ regeneration, conquering cancer, extending life to over 200 years old and so on.

But there is also a very difficult problem here-class solidification.Capital is expanding wantonly, and all upward channels are blocked.The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, class solidification is a foregone conclusion.

People at the top of the upper class enjoy the most resources, the best education, extravagance, and spend money like water; while the workers at the bottom are squeezed into small capsule apartments to make ends meet, worrying about tomorrow's dinner.

Later, the government introduced a series of macro-control policies, and this situation was slightly improved.One of them includes prohibiting all major companies from using AI employees, and must hire a certain proportion of human employees to help them find jobs.

The "Changsheng" where Ning Mianmian and the others work is one of the large enterprises listed.

The corporate brochure clearly stated that Andre, the founder of the "Changsheng" Group, actively responded to the government's call, solved the problem of reemployment for tens of thousands of unemployed people, and won unanimous praise from employees, etc., dozens of The content of the page is all meaningless self-promotion.

Ning Mianmian murmured: "Although the book sounds good, the capitalists' oppression of the working class will not change. They must recruit us because they want to exploit our surplus value to the greatest extent. But if this is the case, will the final comprehensive assessment Is the standard really the amount of gold coins?"

Fluffy was confused: "What is the residual value? Why can't I understand you?"

Ning Mianmian said: "For example, if you help Love raise pigs, Love earns a net profit of 5000 after selling the pigs, but only pays you 3000, and the remaining 2000 is the residual value."

Fluffy asked in confusion, "Where did the remaining 2000 go?"

Love patted her on the head, "Don't you still care about your food?"

Fluffy suddenly realized: "So it is!"

Ning Mianmian: ...Okay, learning is useless.

Love blinked slyly, and continued the topic just now, "If it's normal, it should be assessed with gold coins."

Lin Cen opened his mouth lightly, and added: "There are many supernatural phenomena in the dungeon, and Charles said at the beginning that employees whose prefix is ​​island have a high mortality rate. Under such extreme conditions, new evaluation standards will definitely be derived .”

She looked at Ning Mianmian, her tone subconsciously slowed down a bit, "You were at the bookshelf just now, what did you see?"

Ning Mianmian was so preoccupied with summing up the clues just now, she actually forgot about this matter.She hurriedly told others about her experience, and finally concluded: "I don't know how it was triggered, it was like a dream, and I was still very scared after waking up."

As soon as she finished speaking, the light above her head flickered twice, and then suddenly went out.

Ning Mianmian was startled, and subconsciously leaned towards Lin Cen, but the light turned on again, and the color turned dark red.

In an instant, the entire space they were in was covered with a vague bloody light.The surrounding walls and various facilities in the room seemed to be dissolved, gradually fading away, dissipating into illusory bubbles.

The wall gap disappeared, and the four areas merged together to form a larger square grid.Ning Mianmian saw that not far away was a player in the dormitory area who was about to climb into the capsule bedroom to sleep. Seeing them suddenly appearing, she looked confused.

However, in the next second, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.There are brand-new walls erected from the ground, and the entire area is cut and reorganized amidst the ever-changing blood-colored light and shadow, forming a huge and bizarre maze.
