"How's it going? Although this job is a bit dirty, it's actually very easy."
Brother Wang patted Aji on the shoulder, looked at Zhang Ze, Ju Shen and others with a smile and said: "It's much safer than those jobs where you are fighting and killing people. Of course, the money you make can't be compared with others, but sometimes you Think of it this way: It’s sad to have money but no life to spend it.”
Because Zhang Ze and the others were novices, Wang Ge did not let them participate in the work of dismembering the corpse. On the surface, he was taking care of them. In fact, the main reason was because he was worried that they would break the parts and they would not be able to sell them at a high price.
After a busy day, Brother Wang clapped his hands and loudly told everyone that they could rest today. He would take everyone in the team out to relax and welcome new members like Zhang Ze to join.
Everyone cheered. They were usually very busy at work and it was rare to relax, so naturally everyone was smiling.
Wang Ge's team, which consisted of about seventy or eighty people, left the factory in several vehicles and headed to a nearby downtown area, saying that they wanted to show Zhang Ze and the others the world.
Arriving at an open-air bar, explosive music was released from the speakers hanging high up. On the stage below, figures were twisting like snakes under the neon flashing lights. Their eyes were divergent and unfocused. Carefully Observing, you can actually see lines of green data scrolling past in their pupils.
Although these people are in reality, their spirits have been connected to the wireless network and have entered another world, which is the virtual world on the Internet, and that is their true spiritual paradise.
Brother Wang booked a few tables, called a waitress, ordered a lot of alcohol and drinks, as well as some delicious food, and placed a table full of them, telling everyone not to be polite.
"This is your salary today. Although it is not much, I guarantee that you will earn more in the future than you do now."
A line of data flashed in Brother Wang's field of vision, and Zhang Ze and others immediately received a prompt: "Your cashier account received a transfer of 150 yuan from Li Wang on June 21, 3401. The current account balance is 150 yuan. "
From today's work, Zhang Ze and the others each earned one hundred and fifty yuan, and in their memories, this salary was not low in this world.
Simon showed Zhang Ze and others a string of passwords, saying they were used to log in to the virtual network. He used a look that all men understood to indicate whether Zhang Ze, Aji and others wanted to join him and experience it.
Aji couldn't resist the temptation and took away the password, while Zhang Ze, Long Wang and others politely declined. Although they were curious in their hearts, under the stern looks of Liu Yueying and Little Princess Qian, they had no choice but to give up their thoughts. The idea of giving it a try.
"Brother Wang, I have something to ask you."
Zhang Ze sat down next to Brother Wang with a wine glass and asked, "Do you know a stone door?"
After hearing Zhang Ze's description, Brother Wang shook his head in confusion: "I've never seen it before, what is it for?"
Zhang Ze made up a lie casually. Brother Wang thought about it and said, "If this thing is important to you, then you can ask Ron. Maybe he can know."
"Who is Ron?"
"He is a know-it-all in Dream City. His true identity is a hacker. There is nothing in Dream City that he doesn't know."
Brother Wang explained: "However, if you want to ask him to do something, you must be able to afford the price."
Immediately afterwards, an address flashed in front of Zhang Ze's eyes, which was sent to him by Brother Wang.
"You can go find him here, but it's hard to say whether he is willing to help you. After all, the work he does is shady."
"Thank you, Brother Wang." Zhang Ze nodded, saved the address, and prepared to go find this person after the party.
The noisy party lasted for three hours, and those on the dance floor also danced tirelessly for three hours. If it weren't for the mechanical prosthetics installed on their bodies, their skeletons would probably fall apart.
Although the City of Dreams is a place to pursue dreams, life here is also very stressful. Many people work online 24 hours a day without rest because their brains are always online.
Moreover, this city is full of dangers, the crime rate remains high, street shootings occur one after another, and many people cannot even see the sun the next day.
Therefore, people here live extremely indulgent lives, because no one knows which will come first, the accident or tomorrow.
To be successful in life, you must have all the fun, and enjoy it first if you can.
It has become the life creed of the people living here.
Zhang Ze and others said hello to Brother Wang and the others, saying they would go back and rest first. In fact, they were planning to go find Ron.
Brother Wang knew what Zhang Ze and the others were thinking, so he didn't tell them. He just told them to pay attention to safety and not to take the small roads. The City of Dreams was not peaceful at night.
After bidding farewell to Brother Wang, the group, led by Zhang Ze, found a low-rise residence according to the map. Compared with the brightly lit high-rise blocks outside, the group seemed to be in another world.
According to the map, this is a relatively poor and backward area. Many people living here have no official status. Like Zhang Ze and others, they are stowaways.
"It should be right here."
Zhang Ze looked at the house number on the wall, pressed the doorbell next to him, and heard a man's lazy voice from the intercom: "Who are you looking for?"
"Is Ron here? I have something to ask him for help."
"Who asked you to come?"
"Brother Wang, the owner of the Dream Come True Cleaning Company."
"Wait a moment!"
After a few minutes, the iron door opened with a click, and Zhang Ze and others walked towards the dark door one after another.
Walking up the stairs to the underground, I saw a dimly lit basement filled with various computer screens, with green data scrolling constantly, and black data cables of different thicknesses everywhere. If you are not careful, Likely to trip over.
The owner of this room, Ron, known as the know-it-all in the City of Dreams, was lying on a recliner with a cable as thick as an arm plugged into the interface behind his head. A device similar to VR eyes, tapping with hands in the air, as if there is an invisible keyboard there.
"I still have some work to do, please wait a moment."
After saying a word, Ron ignored Zhang Ze and the others and continued his work.
Zhang Ze discovered that they were not the only ones here, there was also a silver-haired masked woman with an excellent figure. She should also be Ron's customer. She was sitting on the sofa nearby, crossing her legs and looking at Zhang Ze with cold eyes. et al.
For some reason, Zhang Ze always felt that the silver-haired masked woman's eyes were always on his face. He looked towards her and their eyes crossed in the air, but the woman quickly looked away.
"Why does it feel like this woman knows me?"
Zhang Ze was a little confused.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Ron finished the work at hand. He unplugged the interface from the back of his head, took off the VR device, sat up from the recliner, and while moving his stiff body, he looked up and down at Zhang Ze's people.
"What do you want from me?"
"I want to ask you to help us find something."
Zhang Ze is already familiar with how to use a chip implanted in the brain to send information to a target.
He sketched the appearance of the stone door in his mind and then sent it to Ron.
Ron accepted Zhang Ze's signal and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he said: "I have an impression of this stone door!"
"where is it?"
Zhang Ze suddenly looked happy and asked quickly.
"Well, I once sneaked into the ancient snake company's online database to look for something, and accidentally discovered the relevant content of this stone door."
Ron fell into memories: "However, this content was marked as a high-level secret. I was busy leaving at that time, so I did not study it in depth."
"What? Do you want information about this stone door?"
Zhang Ze nodded repeatedly: "Yes! I want to find its specific location."
"I can help you sneak into the database of Ancient Snake Company, but I can't guarantee that it will contain the content you want."
"It doesn't matter. When can you give me the information?" Zhang Ze showed his car wash.
Ron raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It depends on how much money you can afford."
"My work is clearly priced. If you are not in a hurry, the starting price is 200,000 yuan and it will take about a week. If you are in a hurry, you can increase the price. I guarantee the results will be out within three days for 300,000 yuan."
"Two hundred thousand?!"
Zhang Ze and others gasped. The daily salary for a dozen of them was only 150 yuan. Even if everyone's salary was added together, it would probably take several months, which they simply could not afford.
However, they have no other clues now and can only cooperate with Ron.
Ron said that in order to prevent Zhang Ze and others from breaking their promises, they needed to pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan before he could start work.
"Fifty thousand... okay, I will find a way to get the money."
The City of Dreams is a realistic place, and it is difficult to move without money.
So Zhang Ze and others decided to agree to Ron first, and then return to their residence to study how to make enough money as soon as possible.
The group of people had just walked out of Ron's residence when they suddenly heard footsteps behind them. They turned around and found that it was the silver-haired masked woman.
"If you want to ask Lu En for help, you definitely can't do it if you don't have money."
The silver-haired woman ignored others, walked straight to Zhang Ze, stared at him with her blue eyes, and said slowly: "I have a way for you to get the money as soon as possible."
The appearance of the silver-haired woman made Zhang Ze and others immediately become more vigilant.
A stranger suddenly offering to help you is suspicious.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Ze asked.
The woman gathered her silver hair and said calmly: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I can help you make enough money."
"I think you look like stowaways from outside, right? Even if you forge legal identities, you can only do some illegal work with extremely low wages."
"Because regular companies will go to the official database to retrieve your information for comparison. For his own safety, hacker Liu cannot sneak into the official database to modify the information for you, and the money you paid is not worth his risk."
The silver-haired woman's words touched everyone's thoughts, and everyone looked at each other without saying a word.
"So, if you want to make enough 200,000 yuan with your current income without eating or drinking, it will take several months."
"If you come and help me, I can guarantee that you will be able to get the money within three days."
Zhang Ze stared at the silver-haired woman with squinted eyes. Although only the woman's eyes were exposed and the rest of her body was tightly covered by a mask, Zhang Ze felt that those eyes were very familiar.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Ze asked: "What kind of job is it?"
"I can't tell you too much information right now. I can only say that this job has risks, but the risks are directly proportional to the benefits. Two hundred thousand is not that easy to get."
The silver-haired woman's pretty face came close to Zhang Ze and breathed into his ear: "If you are willing to help me, in addition to two hundred thousand, I will give you other rewards."
Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman. There was a hint of teasing in her eyes, but she quickly looked away.
A message requesting to be added to the address book appeared in Zhang Ze's field of vision. Zhang Ze clicked to agree. The woman's name appeared in his address book. Her name was Ina.
Now, Zhang Ze can communicate with Ina on the phone through the communication chip implanted in his brain.
"Be careful not to take too long and make a decision as soon as possible. I hope to see you again, Rakshasa."
Seeing the graceful figure of the woman disappear from the field of vision, Zhang Ze withdrew his gaze and suddenly felt as if his back was being pricked by needles. He turned around and saw Liu Yueying's unkind gaze, so he had to smile and said: "I think this woman , maybe it’s also a clue provided to us by the Demon Realm, just like Aji.”
"Humph!" Liu Yueying shook her head and left angrily. The girls Xiaoniaoyi and Moonlight Rabbit covered their lips and snickered.
"Who is this woman? Why does he ask your brother for help?"
On the way back, Zhang Feng asked Zhang Ze curiously. Zhang Ze shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I don't know why. This woman gives me a very familiar feeling..."
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yueying's back and murmured: "Very similar to Yueying."
"Rakshasa, is this woman trying to trick you?" The Dragon King walked up to him, his arms resting on his head and said, "Otherwise, why would she only look for you? I always feel that this woman is unreliable! Be careful, don't get ripped off!"
"Brother Rakshasa, I also think there's something wrong with this woman. She can't get up early without any benefit. She must have some conspiracy to come to you." Moonlight Rabbit also echoed beside her.
"Yes, Brother Rakshasa, this demonic world is full of dangers, and we can't use equipment and skills now. It's very dangerous." The giant god also reminded Zhang Ze seriously: "You must be more vigilant and don't be fooled by that woman."
Of course Zhang Ze knew that everyone was treating him well, so he nodded and said, "I know, don't worry, I will be careful about being deceived by that woman."
"But we really need a lot of money now, otherwise we won't be able to get Ron to help us find clues to the stone gate."
"Everyone should think carefully about other ways to make money besides working as a cleaner."
This matter is not easy. They have just arrived and know nothing about the City of Dreams. It is already very difficult for them to make ends meet.
It is too difficult to make 200,000 yuan in a short period of time.
Even Brother Wang, who has been here for so many years, has his own company and team, and has accumulated a certain network of contacts, dare not say that he can make so much money in a few days.
