When he just graduated, Su Han planned to find a nine-to-five job, earn a stable salary every month, and spend his life in ordinary life.
Later, she discovered that she could earn living expenses by doing what she was interested in, and it was still a high salary!
And later... She was shocked to realize that someone often made huge sums of money into her account. The amount is so high that you can never work again in this life.
Su Han couldn't hold back, and ran to ask Li Yue - she always felt that the finances made the wrong payment, either the wrong amount or the wrong person.
"Large money?" Li Yue smiled coldly as if he had heard some ridiculous question, "You don't understand what a real big money is!"
Su Han reacted quickly and immediately understood, "Could it be that you will receive more money in the future?"
"Of course." Li Yue replied without hesitation, "Currently, the promotion is in the first stage. After that, according to the player's ranking, further promotion of different specifications will be given. That is the big one!"
As he said that, he squinted at Su Han, his tone was slightly worse, "The promotion efforts of the first and second places are completely different. Originally, the company planned to push for the first place, devote all resources to it, and completely praise him. Who knows It's not as good as heaven's calculation, the first Endless Survival Competition is actually tied for first place."
No one would care if Su Han and Zhong Rui were not the last survivors. Who knew it was so coincidental, but they were left to the end! Looking back now, Li Yue still thinks it was a disaster.
"And then?" Su Han didn't mind the other's tone at all, and couldn't wait to ask.
Li Yue's eyelids jumped, and he continued, "It was difficult to deal with juxtaposition, but if you were lucky, you were in a team state at the beginning, and the video content in the later stage of the game overlapped a lot. Therefore, after the company held a meeting to discuss, it was decided to edit the video of the two into one. share, and then push with the resources of the first and second places.”
Su Han was very surprised. What this means is that after tying for the first place, instead of dispersing resources, it recommends more.
"What's even more surprising is that the two people's compilation album has been widely praised, and some viewers even came to see 'how to fall in love in a survival game'." Li Yue's expression was very mixed.
In the end, he ended the chat with a sentence, "Anyway, you're going to be hot, just wait and continue to collect money!"
Only then did Su Han feel relieved.

Although the demo players are highly paid, the job content is actually very easy, and they don't really use much of their time.
The development department needs to constantly conceive, design, and improve in order to develop new copies. After the semi-finished product is made, players will be invited to try it out, and adjustments will be made according to the results of the trial play.
Therefore, more than a month after joining the job, Su Han received his first job - a copy of "Economic Crisis".
Li Yue explained the situation to the 20 demo players, "During the demo, there is no such thing as passing the test. Either the stamina value is cleared to zero and death, or the extreme challenge is completed - survive in the copy for 20 days."
"Everyone will enter the same server together. In addition to you, there are 100,000 resident NPCs."
"We have prepared 20 different game identities, and all characters have the same attributes of satiety, cleanliness, and stamina. However, there are good and bad occupations, and the items they carry are different. Now everyone draws lots and randomly selects identities. "
Almost instantly, Su Han realized that choosing a good character can reduce the difficulty of the game! For example, the gem merchant profession, if you can draw it, you can pass the level while lying down!
20 people got together and started drawing lots. Su Han randomly picked a character card and held it in his hand.
After the selection, Li Yue announced, "The character selection is complete, and the next step is to lie down in the game cabin. Good luck to everyone."
After finishing speaking, the trial players entered the game cabin and lay down, and the game officially started.
**
In the blink of an eye, Su Han found himself shrouded in a familiar thick fog.
The next second, the mechanical voice sounded, "Welcome to the 'Infinite Survival Game'. Would you like to check the character attributes?"
Su Han chose "Yes".
Immediately in front of her, a transparent panel appeared, which read—
Name: Su Han
Level: 2 (EXP 0/30)
Occupation: Silversmith (with intermediate talent, experience value 0/30)
Satiety: 200/200
Cleanliness: 200/200
Stamina: 200/200
Talent Skills (Intermediate): In the dungeon, there is a 45% chance of getting one piece of silver jewelry, a 10% chance of getting two pieces of silver jewelry, and a 1% chance of getting a full set of silver jewelry every day.
Su Han, "..."
On the plus side, the chosen career is quite relevant. Is the economic crisis, everyone is short of money. But the problem is, silver jewelry is worthless at all! The silversmith profession is too tasteless, and it is slightly better than nothing.
Su Han was quite discouraged. She thought to herself, why isn't it a goldsmith? Gold is worth more than silver.
But then again, something is better than nothing. What's more, she has confidence in her own strength. Even if she gets a hot chicken job, it is completely useless. She feels that she can pass the customs by herself.
Thinking of this, she calmed down, closed the transparent color panel, and prepared to enter the copy.
Who knew that the mechanical voice asked again, "Do you want to check your belongings?"
Su Han thought for a while and chose "Yes".
The next second, a long black wallet appeared in front of her. Opening it, it contained 1,000 shells of banknotes and a credit card. Other than that, nothing else.
Su Han held his wallet and was speechless for a while. At this moment, she understood what it meant to be poor.
It seems that the player was specially given time to calm down. After a while, the mechanical voice continued to ask, "The preparations are over, does the player enter the game now?"
Su Han chose without hesitation, "Yes."
White light flashed, and the figure disappeared.
When he came back to his senses, Su Han was standing at the intersection of the bustling business district. As she walked, she looked at the surrounding environment and found that the business district was very lively.
"Selling pastries - delicious pastries - all made by hand!"
"Do you want to add eggs or tenderloin for the freshly made finger pancakes?"
"Milk tea, fresh juice, and hot dogs! Take a look, take a look!"
"Take a look at the octopus balls and squid mochi-"
There are many food stalls selling along the street, and the business is quite prosperous. Su Han even saw a long queue lined up in front of the hand-catching cake stand, and that line of people couldn't get their turn within half an hour.
financial crisis? Su Han suspected that he had entered the wrong copy.
In addition to food stalls, there are many shops along the street. She wandered aimlessly and randomly entered a store.
After entering, I found that the store is quite high-quality, specializing in high-end women's products. The cheapest pair of high-heeled shoes is 1288, and the cheapest leather bag is 1980.
After reading the price list, Su Han deeply felt that he was a member of the poor masses, and there was no way he could stay in the store any longer.
Just as I was about to turn around and leave, I heard a conversation not far away, "This shoe is only 1599, so it's not expensive. Try it on, the material is good, and it's very comfortable to wear!"
"It's very comfortable to wear... But I just want to buy a pair of less than 1,000, so forget it."
"One thousand, 1599, how much is the difference? Girl, let me tell you, the original price of this pair of shoes is 2299, and it is currently on sale. If you miss this village, you won't have this store."
"Let me think."
"Shoes under 1,000 are definitely not as comfortable to wear. In the end, it's not you who suffers. Girls, you should buy a few better pairs of shoes. Don't worry, the quality of these shoes is very good. Yes, it won't go bad if you wear it for a few years."
After a long silence, the customer asked, "When will the discount event end?"
The shopping guide quickly replied, "This is not a good idea, and the original price may be restored at some point."
The customer was obviously moved, but he was still hesitant, "But my salary is only 5,000 a month, and it's not appropriate to spend 1,599 to buy a pair of shoes?"
"People say that the more you spend, the more you earn." The shopping guide said in a very sincere tone, "If you are in a good mood wearing these shoes, you will be more motivated to work hard and make money."
"After buying this pair of shoes, I don't have much cash left." The customer is still hesitant.
The shopping guide immediately gave a solution, "Use a credit card to repay in installments! In three months, you only need to pay a few hundred a month, so you won't feel any pressure."
"What you said makes sense." The customer was persuaded. She even gritted her teeth and said proactively, "Bring me that khaki satchel, the color of the bag matches the shoes, just buy a set."
"Okay." The shopping guide responded readily.
In the end, the customer bought a satchel and a pair of high-heeled shoes, spending nearly 3,000 yuan and paying by credit card. When I went out, I looked happy, as if taking a lot of advantage.
Su Han stood by and watched the whole process, and really felt that the shopping guide did not go to the MLM organization to develop, and it was a waste of talent.
After sending off the customer just now, the shopping guide came over and asked enthusiastically, "Hello, what do you need?"
Seeing the other party approaching, Su Hanqing couldn't help clutching his wallet. She pursed her lips and said indifferently, "I'll just take a look."
"I recommend you to take a look at this silk scarf. It can be tied around the neck, on the head as an accessory, on the hand, or on the bag, it is very versatile." The shopping guide introduced it actively.
After Su Han listened, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the silk scarf. She found that the pattern of silk scarves is indeed very special and very versatile. But when she looked at the price list again, she suddenly stopped - a silk scarf of 388. Is this an upright stealing of money? !
Next to it, the shopping guide is still gushing, "Credit card payment is popular now. If you pay by card, set the repayment for six months, and you only need to pay 70 shells a month, which is very cost-effective. This ribbon is a hot sale in our store. Many customers will buy one for matching, and the design is quite classic.”
Su Han said nothing, turned around with his wallet and left. The speed of leaving is as fast as a giant spider, caiman, and anaconda are chasing after him.
"Tsk." The shopping guide sighed, feeling very sorry. But soon she picked herself up again and continued to introduce the next customer.
**
Far away from the store, Su Han still felt lingering fears, "It's too scary, it's too dangerous!" The language seems to have the power of bewitching, and it can instigate customers to pay willingly. If you are not careful, your wallet will be hit hard.
Until this moment, she finally vaguely sensed the signs of the economic crisis. Uncontrolled consumption, wanton borrowing and spending, in the event of a pay cut or job loss, a devastating blow awaits them.
After thinking for a while, Su Han decided to continue shopping in the store. She wanted to feel how serious the over-consumption of borrowing was at close range.
In a car dealership, someone bought a car with 0 down payment. The car loan is repaid in 36 months, and the monthly car loan cost is nearly 3,000. In addition to driving costs, insurance premiums, fuel costs, maintenance costs, etc., the monthly fixed expenditure is about 4,500.
In a travel agency, someone swiped a credit card to pay for travel expenses. I plan to work hard after returning home, and spend a year repaying more than 10,000 in arrears.
As for the brand-name watches, privately-made perfumes, ultra-high-profile laptops, and high-end mobile phones in the store, they were even more looted.
After seeing all kinds of irrational behaviors, Su Han inexplicably came up with a sentence, "Economic crises always break out amid excessive prosperity."
At 9 a.m., the system mechanical sound rang, "Game Day 1."
Su Han waited for a long time, but didn't wait for anything, so it can be seen that the chance has not been triggered. She shrugged and didn't care, she went to the mall to buy a backpack first.
The staff highly recommended, "This is the most popular backpack in our store. It has a large volume, good material, and it is a well-known brand. You can buy it for only 239 shells."
Su Han didn't take it seriously at all, he directly chose the backpack with the most cost-effective value of 100 shells to pay the bill, and then left casually.
The staff was speechless and watched her go away.
