If another player said something like this, Aunt Li would think that person might be crazy.
But when Jie Fangcheng said this, Aunt Li felt that it was really reasonable and very consistent with Jie Fangcheng's behavioral style.
After thinking about it, Aunt Li first raised a very realistic question: "But how do we find the boss of this company and expose the 'weight loss scam'? Isn't that difficult?"
It's indeed difficult.
The interstellar age has seen the development of not only medicine, but also various types of technology.
Spaceships, laser cannons, mechas...some things that were only seen in science fiction novels before have become a reality in the interstellar age.
Although the excessive pursuit of "thinness" makes it difficult for today's interstellar people to afford muscle labor, with the advancement of technology, various mechas and thermal weapons can now be driven by mental power, so fighting an interstellar war is not a problem.
This is not a copy of the cold weapon era like [Fulai Inn], if you rush out rashly to kill the boss of Meilei Company, it is very likely that the spaceship will explode before you even get out.
Aunt Li and her friends have been in this copy for nearly ten days, and they still haven't fully understood the background of the interstellar era. They only know about weight loss and live streaming, and they can't provide any other information for the two of them.
Can they really do it alone
As soon as Aunt Li said this, Zhang Daoan knew what she was worried about, and just asked another question.
"You said that thinness is beautiful in the Star Age, and your body shape is not liked by the audience. Did you have to live stream for three days to raise enough money for the surgery?"
"Yes!" Aunt Li nodded, then was stunned.
Zhang Daoan has already pointed out what is wrong here: "If no one likes you with a 'normal body shape', then you won't be able to raise enough money for the surgery."
As he spoke, Professor Zhang, who had been operating the Star Network, had already figured out the operating system of the live broadcast platform on his own, and quickly found the audience who had rewarded Aunt Li with "MeiShouDian".
"On the first day, when you were still in good shape, a total of 175 viewers gave you 'beautiful thinner' tips. Although they didn't say much, most of them just gave you meaningless comments like 'come on', but they came every day for three days and gave you 'beautiful thinner' tips every day. But on the fourth day after your surgery, these people disappeared."
Aunt Li reacted, and she quickly thought of something else: "It was on the fourth day! The rewards of all our players who had undergone surgery dropped sharply! At that time, my son... Some people said that this was normal. He said that in the first three days, the audience of StarCraft had not seen people of our size, so they felt it was new. After three days, the novelty was gone, so naturally they stopped coming..."
Zhang Daoan laughed.
He almost never had a sneering or mocking expression, although sometimes people could vaguely feel a kind of unspeakable discomfort, but strangely, he was very gentlemanly and never lost his composure. Even Nie Shuangshuang, who had been targeted several times, found it difficult to find a specific sentence or expression that made people feel uncomfortable.
At this moment he smiled, and it was obviously a very gentle and nonchalant smile, but Aunt Li vaguely felt that Zhang Daoan looked down on this explanation in his heart.
#VALUE! "If you just feel the novelty, just take a look. Ordinary people will not pay for the 'novelty'. Besides, the amount of money these viewers give each day is not much. It doesn't seem like they are not short of money and would spend money on some novel live broadcast. If you check their background, you will know that these viewers have rarely given tips before. It is obvious that they are only interested in your live broadcast room... or you also represent some kind of spiritual sustenance for them. This can also explain why these viewers have only sent messages like 'come on'. It is very likely that they are also dissatisfied with the current trend of thinness as the standard, but they are swept up by the trend of the whole society and do not have enough power to resist. They can only hope that someone else can represent them and speak for them, such 'heretics' - this is actually the best way for ordinary players to pass the level."
"How to pass the level?"
"Yes. Stick to your current body shape. If there are no hard and fast rules for this weight loss competition, you can even do a food show. There won't be many viewers at the beginning, but human aesthetics have never been unified. Even if the capital brainwashes you that 'thinness is the standard', just like the people who give you rewards, under such a social atmosphere, there must still be a considerable group of people who don't appreciate this kind of skeleton-like thinness. As long as it is operated properly, the clearance requirement of 10,000 thin points is easy to achieve."
Aunt Li thought about it and felt that what Zhang Daoan said made a lot of sense.
The day they received the most tips was the third day.
On the first day, when the live broadcast of the weight loss competition had just begun, everyone’s traffic was not that high. After all, there are already so many weight loss live broadcasts, and the public is somewhat aesthetically fatigued with this competition.
It was not until the third day that the competition gradually gained popularity. Although it did not have as many viewers as other live broadcast rooms, their traffic also increased.
However, when the live broadcast room was opened at that time, the barrage was full of comments scolding them for being fat pigs with no self-discipline. The faint voices of "come on" were drowned out by the insults and no one cared.
At that time, everyone was very anxious to have surgery, and the "commander" among the smart players also told them that if they wanted to keep these viewers and make money and lose weight, they had to lose weight as soon as possible! This way, old viewers would like it and attract new viewers.
But no one expected that when the player excitedly started broadcasting on the fourth day, the amount of rewards he received was actually less than before.
Although there were fewer insults in the barrage, many viewers even said encouraging words like "At least you guys were obedient"... But the reward value was reduced.
It wasn't much lower. After all, there were only a few viewers who would cheer for these normal-sized people. On the fourth day, the only ones who gave rewards were those who thought they were "teachable".
However, the amount of rewards has been decreasing. While other live broadcast rooms have seen more rewards as their traffic has improved, only in their players' live broadcast room, the number of people giving rewards has dropped from over a hundred to seventy, and finally to a sporadic single digit number.
This seems to be the "conductor"'s strong evidence to prove that his way of thinking is correct - see, I said that these audiences came to see us because of the novelty, and now that the novelty is gone, they are gone. Just relying on this novelty is not enough to get the 10,000 Meishen Point, we still have to rely on our own efforts to lose weight to pass the level.
This is the idea of passing the level given by the "commander".
Aunt Li's expression kept changing. Zhang Daoan looked at her and suddenly asked, "This is an ordinary first-level dungeon, not a universal dungeon. Aunt Li, you are not the kind of person who likes to download dungeons. Why did you suddenly download a first-level dungeon before the universal dungeon? Is it because... there is someone you know in this dungeon?"
Although he had doubts, he obviously already had the answer in his mind.
Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "It's an acquaintance."
But after saying this, she didn't speak again, obviously not wanting to continue discussing this topic.
Zhang Daoan did not force it, and just continued: "Therefore, the idea and conditions for clearing this level are the same, there are two ways. One is more convenient and simple, and the survival rate is higher, which is more in line with the difficulty of the first-level level, 'obtaining 10,000 beauty points from the audience', and the other is the first point."
Weight is below average.
"If you want to take this route to clear the level, your current approach will inevitably result in the loss of many players. For example, players who are taller or have larger frames will all be eliminated. Not to mention that when you 'eliminate' these players, they will also fight back and there will be casualties during the battle. Just talking about the later stages, even if the players have done their best to lose weight... what about the NPCs in your group?"
He said calmly, "We are in the same group. Although I don't know what rewards there are for winning the competition between groups, since we are divided into groups, there should be rewards for winning the group, right? Will they think you are holding them back? Will they unite to eliminate you? If you have a healthy body and enough muscles to support your use of skills and props, you may be able to fight these NPCs, but in the later stages, your physical condition will not be able to compare with the NPCs."
Zhang Daoan concluded: "In the final analysis, losing weight in an inappropriate way and weakening your own strength to adapt to the rules is the stupidest way to pass the level. It is equivalent to putting all your hopes of passing the level on the NPC. In this game, it is wrong to make such a choice at any time. I don't know why you do this. In the end, with this method, no more than two players will be able to survive, and only the two lightest players will have a chance to survive."
One per group, this takes into account that some players may be naturally thin, and after losing weight they will not be much different from ordinary NPCs.
Just look at Aunt Li and you will know that even though she is so thin, she is still fat in the eyes of the NPCs. This condition is really difficult to achieve.
Aunt Li didn't think much of it before she heard what Zhang Daoan said. Everyone felt that they really only had one choice, which was to lose weight. After all, this was in the interstellar age. They were on a spaceship. The NPCs were average in strength, but the thermal weapons they could control could kill anyone they hit. Of course, they could only listen to the NPCs in this situation.
But after Zhang Daoan finished speaking, Aunt Li realized that they really had many paths.
Zhang Daoan just gave a simple explanation and Aunt Li already understood.
For ordinary players who have no combat power, sticking to a healthy route can attract viewers who also disagree with mindless weight loss - and the clue to the direction of passing the level has been told to them three days ago, and their rewards have increased every day in the first three days.
Later on, if their live broadcast becomes popular, other contestants will certainly imitate them. Maybe in the end, both of having a weight below the average and gaining 10,000 “beauty thin points” can be achieved at the same time.
This is the optimal solution.
It would be great if they could see through this once they enter the dungeon.
Of course, this is not the optimal solution that Zhang Daoan is going to choose.
Jie Fangcheng already knew what he was going to do before he explained it to Aunt Li.
It is another routine to expose the secrets of Meilei Company, mobilize the masses, and drown these unscrupulous capitalists in the ocean of the masses.
He is truly a professor of Marxism-Leninism, as he never forgets that "the power of the masses is great."
Zhang Daoan looked at him and knew that Jie Fangcheng already understood what he was going to do, and he couldn't help but smile again.
"Manager Jie..."
Before he could finish his words, an alarm sounded.
"Alert! Alert! Outsiders are breaking in!"
Along with the alarm came the sound of a door being kicked open.
Two NPCs in uniforms rushed in. When they saw Jie Fangcheng and the other man, they were stunned at first. One of them curled his lips in disdain and thought to himself: Two more fat pigs.
Jie Fangcheng was also thinking: Two more skeletons.
The capitalists are more terrifying than they imagined. The uniforms of the two NPCs who broke in looked like they should be space police officers from the interstellar era, but a profession like this should require strength and muscles.
But these two NPCs are thinner than Aunt Li, and the shape of their bones can be clearly seen through the fitted uniforms.
She looks energetic even though she's so thin. I guess she's been using the products from the legendary Meilei company.
At this time, an NPC pointed a gun at Jie Fangcheng and said, "Take out your ID cards!"
Without saying a word, Jie Fangcheng rushed over and smashed it away with a sword.
The NPC fell to the ground with a bang, rolled several meters away and fainted.
The other one didn't react for a moment, and seeing the guy who knocked the man flying coming towards him, he quickly fired two shots.
Two beams of light shot out from the gun and flew towards Jie Fangcheng at a rapid speed.
Jie Fangcheng had never seen such a thing before. He dodged one of them out of curiosity and reached out for the other one.
The bright light passed through the palm of his hand like a scanning light. Jie Fangcheng did not feel any impact, but only felt that his palm seemed to be slightly warm.
But then, the light hit the wall, making a deep coin-sized hole in it.
"How is this possible???" the NPC was horrified.
Before he could finish his words, the sword that had just hit him had already hit the NPC, knocking him unconscious.
"How is that impossible?" Jie Fangcheng raised his sword to his shoulder, "Have you never seen a model wearing one?"
And even if they are in the same dimension, due to various reasons, few people can hurt Jie Fangcheng.
At this moment, the two NPCs fell to the ground in an instant. Even though Aunt Li was mentally prepared for his arrogance, she was still stunned.
Zhang Daoan was well prepared. He squatted down and felt in the pockets of two NPCs, and soon found some dropped items.
An identity card can be shown to others after fingerprint recognition. Zhang Daoan pulled the NPC's finger to identify it, and the NPC's detailed information appeared in front of him, including not only the most basic photo, name, and home address, but also a resume from childhood to adulthood. In the interstellar age, an identity card can represent a person's entire life.
There were also a few pieces of advertising paper, probably flyers received on the way to work.
The high-tech flyer was like a web page, with a short video on the front promoting the new "Most Beautiful Interstellar Human Contest". It featured the most beautiful lady from last year - her beauty was completely invisible, with big eye sockets, high cheekbones, and skin supported by bones. Below it was written in exaggerated red font: Breaking 20.87KG!
The other promotional posters were either advertisements for weight loss competitions or various types of weight loss drugs, and each advertisement made a normal person like Jie Fangcheng feel uncomfortable.
"'Are you going to become as fat as a pig at the best age of your life?' What kind of propaganda is this? And are people buying it?"
Not only did people buy them, but the two NPCs that Zhang Daoan checked both had two or three diet pills in their pockets. It was obvious that this thing had become a necessity in this era.
"What should we do now?" Although Jie Fangcheng said that he would rush towards the young boss of Meilei Company and chop him up first, he was just reckless, not stupid.
Now they are in the dark and they are still on the spaceship. It is not easy to find people, let alone kill them.
Zhang Daoan held the bottles of medicine and looked towards the corridor outside the door.
"Now... let's go meet our 'teammates'."
.
There were originally sixteen people on the spaceship, but now there are only five players and two NPCs left.
But this is already a lot.
Each group was on a different spaceship, so communication between the two groups was difficult, and the players were forcibly divided into two teams.
There are only two players left on the other team, but there are still a lot of NPCs, only four left in total.
The reason why there are so few players left in this group is all due to their commander.
"What should I do? That old woman... Aunt Li seems to have changed her mind suddenly! She recruited two new players!"
The remaining five players gathered together. Wang Dongsheng covered his abdomen, feeling a dull pain in his stomach and intestines, which were basically non-existent now.
If it were in the past, he would have exchanged it for a system potion and drank it long ago.
But now, Wang Dongsheng could only press his stomach, frowned, and couldn't help but groan twice.
In front of him sat a plain-looking skeleton wearing glasses.
It is easy but difficult.
Ever since he finished the [Dead Rising] dungeon, Yi Zenan was kicked out of the Warm Cat Climbing Frame Guild.
But whether he was kicked or not didn't make much difference to him. Although he was always slapped in the face and ignored in the copy, he returned to his previous state after leaving the copy.
Because he was really lucky, he got a rare skill.
With rare skills, Yi Zenan no longer cares about this cozy cat climbing frame. Even if he is not kicked out, he will find a reason to quit the guild and then go to a more powerful guild.
So after quitting the guild, he carefully selected the eighth-ranked Goldfish Guild. Not only did he get in successfully, but he was also valued for his intelligence and rare skills.
There were still a few days left before the national dungeon, so he was thinking of finding a member of management to go through the first level dungeon together so that the union would notice him.
Normally the first level book can be cleared within a week, but they didn't expect this book to be so complicated. It was only now that they saw a glimmer of hope for victory - but it was ruined again immediately!
Yi Zenan frowned: "How is that possible? She is not that kind of person."
Wang Dongsheng felt very contemptuous.
This kid's character is really bad. The president kicked him out as soon as he got out of the book!
Damn it... He even pushed his own mother out to be cannon fodder. In the future, you must stay away from this ungrateful and ungrateful person.
The other two people had almost the same idea in their minds, but they really didn't want to fall out with Yi Zenan now.
After all, this kid is really smart.
Before the operation, Yi Zenan thought that after the operation, their health would get worse and worse, and their strength would become weaker and weaker, and there was no guarantee that the NPCs would not attack them.
So before the operation, Yi Zenan took the Goldfish Guild's junior manager, Wang Dongsheng, and first killed the fatter NPCs who were difficult to control at first glance, and then got the unsuitable players out of the spaceship and let them die in space.
The two remaining players were both skinny and small to begin with, and it looked like they could easily lose weight.
As for Aunt Li... Although Aunt Li is plump, a very wealthy and kind middle-aged woman, this is his mother.
Yi Zenan had been avoiding her since he entered the game. Aunt Li's pancake stall was near the player lobby, so of course Yi Zenan had known that she had also entered this game.
But professional players are the lowest level ants in this game. Their points are not high. Like Aunt Li, she can only earn a thousand points at most from running a pancake stall in a day, and she can't even buy a decent weapon in a year.
The easier it is, the harder it is to keep climbing up, finally reaching the top, passing the [Reincarnation Experience] and returning to the real world... He has a wife and children, and he can't be entangled by a dead burden who probably can't even pass this national copy.
Yes, a burden.
Although Aunt Li raised her son by herself by selling pancakes, saved money all her life to send him to school for a doctorate, and even saved up a down payment for his house, she is now useless.
Yi Zenan thought that she would understand him... After all, his mother loved him so much. From childhood to adulthood, she always let him eat the best things first. She was reluctant to replace her gloves when they had holes in them, but she was also willing to buy him brand-name sneakers, fearing that he would not be able to hold his head up in front of his classmates.
She will surely understand.
Therefore, when they decided to sacrifice a player to see how much weight could be reduced after removing a kidney, a liver, and a lung, and whether their weight could be reduced to below the average, Yi Zenan looked at Aunt Li amid the hints and expectations of the surrounding players.
"Mom, you've lost the least, otherwise...would you like to try it?"
He saw that Aunt Li's eyes were stunned for a moment.
Yi Ze Nan felt a prick in the heart, but he quickly comforted himself.
Aunt Li's ability was very difficult to clear the National Dungeon. Now that she knew she was in this game, and she was doing so well, what if she was asked to help her clear the National Dungeon? What if she was asked to help her in the future? It was better to cut the Gordian knot.
Yi Zenan was still thinking about how to persuade her, but in the next second, Aunt Li, who had been silent since entering the dungeon, just nodded: "Okay."
At this moment, Yi Zeyan was stunned.
He always thought that he was the smartest, most rational and most suitable player for this game, but after getting rid of the "burden", he just felt as if his heart was empty.
But before he could think about it, one of the remaining two NPCs who could perform surgery had already pushed Aunt Li into the operating room.
The operation was successful and Aunt Li lost four kilograms.
But she could no longer stand up and didn't even have the strength to speak.
Four pounds.
If every player loses four pounds, that's still two pounds away from the average... what else can they cut
At this time, someone suggested: "Why don't we remove the organs first and then draw blood."
This is also a solution.
"But... if I lose so many organs and then have my blood drawn, I don't know if I can survive..."
It would be great if someone could do an experiment first.
At this moment, Yi Zenan, who had always looked calm, punched the person who said this in the face.
He was so thin that his stomach was completely empty. The punch only made the opponent stagger, and then the man couldn't help cursing.
"Fuck! Are you sick?"
Yi Zenan just looked at him with an ugly expression without saying a word.
At this time, Aunt Li actually invited two players... To be honest, the reason why Yi Zenan took the initiative to let Aunt Li try was because he felt that she knew the current situation and would not do anything that would be disadvantageous to him.
If it were someone else, if he were to be the guinea pig for this experiment, he would definitely drink the system potion while these players were not paying attention and die together with them.
But mom will never hurt him.
Therefore, the first moment he heard the news, Yi Zenan found it unbelievable, and then he frowned.
"Impossible." After saying that, Yi Zenan held onto the wall and was the first to stand up.
"Let's go! Let's go find her."
