Survivorship Bias

Chapter 21: back to reality

Views:

An Wujiu was stunned.

"What is there to look forward to?"

Perhaps Shen Ti's attributives were too long, or perhaps his thoughts got stuck for a while, and he felt that he had misunderstood.

"Good question." Shen Ti smiled and stretched himself.

"Let me tell you when I figure it out myself."

The system started the settlement, so An Wujiu couldn't continue to ask.

He still didn't figure it out in the end.

"Congratulations to everyone who successfully passed the customs and became a survivor of the "Abandoned Babies Shelter Center"."

"This round of game reward pool has a total of 90,000 points, and all players except Josh will share the 90,000 points equally, 15,000 points per person.

Josh, your identity has been exposed. There are no points rewards for this round, but you have successfully escaped from the containment center and completed the resurrection task. You can return to the altar player status, and you are eligible to match the next round of the game. "

Josh breathed a sigh of relief, his brown eyes glanced at An Wugui.

"Thank you."

An Wujiu smiled at him, but didn't say anything.

Everyone's points have been debited, and An Wujiu's current account points total is 70,750.

I don't know if the money is enough to treat my mother.

Thinking of this, An Wujiu fell into distress again, because he had no idea where his mother was now.

"After returning to the real world, you will have 24 hours of free time."

Nan Shan faced the cage with both hands, and said lazily, "Is it 24 hours every time?"

The system replied: "Not necessarily, sometimes it will be shorter, sometimes it will be longer."

Is there no rule

"Please obey the regulations of the altar and return to the game cabin on time. Otherwise, we will directly [kill] the survivors."

"Remember, survival is temporary, only death is eternal."

After these words were finished, the blinding whiteness in front of their eyes suddenly turned into blackness, An Wujiu's body fell rapidly again and hit the ground heavily.

When I opened my eyes, the field of vision gradually changed from blurred to clear, the glass cover isolated the outside world, and the high ceiling was dark, like the night sky.

Finally woke up from the game cabin.

An Wujiu pulled out the breathing mask, took off the nutrition tube connected to his body, and the glass hatch opened automatically.

"See you next time." The game cabin greeted him mechanically.

An Wujiu came out with the help of the cabin, he was still wearing the black T-shirt, and he saw Shen Ti right away.

"Long time no see." Shen Ti waved to him.

Obviously just saw it.

An Wujiu stepped on the ground with one foot, his legs became weak after a long time of inactivity, and he almost knelt down, but a hand stretched out, grabbed his forearm, and picked him up.

"You are too soft."

Being so close, An Wujiu could even feel the warmth of Shen Ti's joking.

It was normal before, no matter how close Shen Ti got, but for some reason, something was wrong now.

The heart beats fast, very fast.

An Wujiu broke away from half of his embrace, said "thank you", and then looked to the other side.

Zhong Yirou and Wu You also came out safely, An Wujiu's half-suspended heart fell.

"You care about them so much?" Shen Ti's subtext was beyond words.

An Wujiu pretended not to hear, watching Zhong Yirou stretch his arms and relax his body like a cat.

"It finally came out." Zhong Yirou smiled brightly, "I feel like I was taken away by no fault this time."

Wu You tucked his hands in the sweater and complained in a low voice, "Don't think so, it is."

"That's because people always faint. This setting makes me delicate and weak..."

Just as they were talking, they heard the holy voice that another game cabin opened not far away.

Unfortunately, it was Yang Erci.

The other party also looked this way, and Zhong Yirou waved his hand, "Beautiful sister, hello, thank you for taking care of me."

Yang Erci's expression changed.

"Need not."

The few of them left together, and Wu You looked back.

Shen Ti teased him, "Could you be looking for your Taoist elder brother?"

Wu You replied angrily: "I'm looking for your father."

Yang Erci has a spacious and advanced aircraft, which makes Wu You's eyes shine.

Zhong Yirou sighed: "With the conditions of a young lady like you, you shouldn't come to the altar to die at all."

"I have a reason to come." Yang Erci didn't say anything, and they didn't ask.

Yang Erci invited them to leave together, so everyone didn't refuse and sat in. Shen Ti and An Wujiu were in the last row. Be careful, your feet will reach between An Wujiu's legs.

"Can't you sit? How about I go to the front?" An Wujiu said.

"No need." Shen Ti quickly rebuffed, "It's good, just squeeze to keep warm."

But isn't it summer

After starting, the artificial intelligence onboard the aircraft broadcasts the temperature and weather of the day, and the road map is also displayed in front of the windshield, but it is only 3D.

"Welcome back."

Shen Ti thought of something, and imitated, "Hello, Xiaoyou."

Wu You opened his mouth, "You don't deserve a fight."

"You two really are," Zhong Yirou shook his head, "I don't even know who is the child."

On the way, Yang Erci seemed very silent, and only said a few words when Zhong Yirou mentioned An Wujiu's purpose of entering the altar.

"You said your mother was not found at St. Georgia Hospital?"

"Well. I remember she was there, but there was no information about her when I checked."

Yang Erci glanced at the rearview mirror.

"Generally speaking, it is possible that they have been transferred. St. Georgia is not affordable for ordinary people, and the beds are in short supply. This kind of private hospital has a complicated network of relationships. Those with connections can go in directly and squeeze out other people's seats. A family like you If there is no one to take care of her, your mother's position is likely to be squeezed out."

She seems to understand these situations very well, An Wujiu thought, she admitted that she is a researcher, she should not work in a hospital, and more likely the largest shareholder in St Georgia - Martor Biotechnology Company.

"Did you work in Martor before?" An Wujiu asked directly.

Yang Erci was silent for a while, and the aircraft drove to the end of the road.

"No." She denied.

"I'm at Chauvin Corporation, and Martor is one of Chauvin's subsidiaries."

It turned out to be Chauvin who was stronger than Martor.

This is the largest biotechnology company in the United States and even the world, and its huge business empire has almost monopolized the world's cutting-edge technology and technological resources.

After a while, she said again, "But now I have lost all the permissions of Chauvin Company. In other words, I can't get in at all, and I am completely blocked. If I am still inside, maybe I can use my permissions to help you find Looking for it, but not necessarily finding it.”

"Should I still be blocked after resigning?" Zhong Yirou clicked his tongue a few times, "Evil capitalism."

"It's okay." An Wujiu accepted it calmly, he knew that this matter would not be so easy.

"Where is your home?" Yang Erci asked.

She didn't refer clearly, so Zhong Yirou had no choice but to ask again: "Who are you talking about?"

Yang Erci glanced at her from the rearview mirror this time.

"you."

"Me?" Zhong Yirou smiled, "You don't need to take me home, I'm going to pick up my custom-made cheongsam! It's also in the urban area, the city center, you can take me for a while."

"Okay." Yang Erci agreed.

Wu You didn't say a word, but she thought in her heart, don't I have a home

Don't all three of us have a home

Where is this going

But he didn't ask the last word.

They drove all the way to the city, and it was already evening when they came out of the game factory. The huge holographic projection advertisement in front of the municipal square had been replaced with a new one, which was also a brand new hallucinogen. The color is gray, covering the entire bizarre world with a huge glass cover.

Every person, every gigantic building, becomes a stuffed glass container, lifeless for years.

In the end, Yang Erci put Zhong Yirou down. At the place where she was picking up the cheongsam, Wu You happened to see a new flea market there, so she also asked herself to get down, and was dragged up by Zhong Yirou.

"It just so happens that I lack a younger brother to help me carry my bag."

Wu You: "..."

After the two left, Yang Erci said, "I have another way."

An Wujiu raised his eyebrows, "Say it."

"I know a person who used to be an employee of Chauvin like me, but he is in the marketing department and has a wider network than me. After he left, he did a lot of improper side jobs, one of which was reselling medical equipment. Yes, he has hospital network resources on the entire east coast, you can try it."

After finishing speaking, An Wujiu's game panel beeped, it was Yang Erci's friend invitation from the same player.

After passing, Yang Erci sent an electronic business card.

It was a Mexican, with bright pink afro hair, a gold chain around his neck, and a fierce face. His name was Gabriel.

There is also a line of address at the bottom of the business card.

"You can try to find him, but he is very difficult to deal with."

Shen Ti smiled, "Isn't it a trick like 'find him and give my name'?"

Yang Erci's face was reflected in the rearview mirror, she raised her eyebrows, "I don't have a good relationship with him, if you give my name, it is possible to be kicked out in a second."

"I'll think of a way." An Wujiu thanked her.

Although Yang Erci had a cold face and spoke sarcastically, he was actually kinder than An Wujiu imagined, and he was quite an upright person.

"I put you here." Yang Erci said, "I still have some tricky things to deal with."

An Wujiu thanked him. The aircraft found a legal place to land and put the two down.

Originally, An Wujiu thought that Shen Ti would not follow him anymore, after all, he only had 24 hours of free time, but Shen Ti never left.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Shen Ti shook his head, "Didn't I say I'm homeless?"

"Or do you want me to go?"

An Wujiu thought about it, but still kept him. It's not because he thinks Shen Ti can help, but because he's not used to it.

"Then let's go."

There were only the two of them left, the smell of acid rain permeated the temperature of industrial raw materials, the streets here were not very clean, even messy, there were unattended waste and garbage everywhere, and the high-saturation green and red neon intertwined Reflected, even the marijuana wrappers on the road are illuminated in colorful colors.

But Shen Ti felt that it was very pleasant to hear An Wujiu say "we" with only the two of them left.

According to the location on the business card, they walked for more than ten minutes, and finally, the two walked through the bustling city and found this place behind a remote block.

"Olives No. 78, here it is."

But it was different from what they had imagined. The gates of this place were closed, and the surroundings were dark. It looked lifeless, unlike the bustling red light district before.

There is a dilapidated doorbell on the upper right corner of the gate, An Wujiu tried to press it, but a window next to the gate suddenly opened, it was said to be a window, it was more like the steel plate for the visiting party in the prison before, and it could be pulled up at any time , and let it go at any time.

As soon as the small window was opened, the loud music and confused lights inside poured out like unstoppable water.

Half of her face was exposed inside. It was a short-cut woman with a pointed chin and an oval face. She wore black lipstick and was painting her nails.

Reserve

An Wujiu didn't know what the reservation she was talking about was.

Seeing that the two of them were not talking, the woman was too lazy to deal with it, "Our house doesn't have a reservation, but we can't come in, right? Those two, please go back."

As she spoke, she was about to lower the window.

"We want to find someone." An Wujiu said.

The other party didn't respond at all, and the window was half down.

There is absolutely no room for negotiation.

"Hey, wait a minute." Shen Ti leaned forward, putting one hand on the edge of the window, "Beauty, what's your name?"

The window was raised again, and the woman glanced at Shen Ti's face.

A pretty face indeed.

"Lucy." She replied with a smile, but quickly blocked the road again, "Handsome guy, even if you try to get close to me, I can't let you in, this is the rule."

"I understand, I understand." Shen Ti said with a smile, "But we don't want to go in and play, we have business."

"Business?" Lucy smiled, "Everyone who comes here is doing business. Tell me, what business do you have?"

An Wujiu turned his face to look at him, and saw that Shen Ti straightened his collar without blushing, and then wrapped his arms around An Wujiu's shoulders, showing a charming smile to the woman in the small window.

"The two of us are here to apply."

Apply?

"Application?" The pair of hanging eyes in the window flicked around, sizing up the two of them as carefully as picking fresh fruit in the market.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course." Shen Ti smiled, and the earrings of the red coral were shaking, "Why, is the beauty looking down on us two? Is it because the qualifications are not up to your requirements here?"

"That's not true." Lucy also smiled, and put down the nail polish brush in her hand, "It's just been a long time since I've seen such a well-groomed young man like you, and I feel a little strange, is it so difficult to mess around these days?"

The more An Wujiu heard it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Shen Ti is like a duck to water, and he takes a bite of a beautiful woman, "Your hands are so pretty." He reached in and grabbed Lucy's wrist, "It looks better with red nail polish."

"That's right, it took me a long time to find such a true red color." Lucy also started to appreciate herself, staring at her fingers for a while, then looked at the two of them again, "Well, I'll recruit people from our side Come over and let him take a look. I'm just a small receptionist and I can't make the decision."

"No problem." Shen Ti shrugged.

Lucy sent a voice message to someone, and not long after, a tall, thin middle-aged man came out, looked out of the window with his head down, his cloudy brown eyes rolled, and stared at the two of them.

"Are you here to apply?" the man asked, "Where did you see the recruitment information?"

Shen Ti smiled, with a natural tone, "Oh, Gabriel asked us to come, you know, the boss has already spoken, so of course we came here."

He leaned over, covered his mouth with one hand, and said in a low voice, "We transferred from the best club in the city, and we only show face to acquaintances."

An Wujiu really admires his ability to lie, and he can do so with ease.

The man inside was skeptical and made a call, but the other party didn't answer.

"You still expect him to answer your phone? A busy person may not know what he is doing now, but don't ruin his good business." Lucy laughed at the man, and finished painting the nail polish on her little finger.

The man opened the door, "Come in first."

Even so, he still asked suspiciously: "Are you sure Gabriel dug you here?"

"It's him." Shen Ti's face was relaxed and sure, and his calm demeanor was unbelievable.

Shen Ti is so high that it's hard not to feel oppressed, but the other party knows very well that this kind of thing is very popular among rich people nowadays.

The tall, thin middle-aged man rolled his eyes and stared at An Wujiu.

The man in front of him was drenched in the rain, his wet hair stuck to his cheeks, and his face was translucently beautiful in the night.

It is indeed beautiful.

Although the expression was not attractive at all, this feeling of resistance and struggle was more appropriate. With such white skin, he looks like a porcelain figure, and the tattoos on his body are just right, and the long hair like silk and satin may be more exciting on the bed.

She doesn't look seductive, but she is seductive everywhere.

Shen Ti noticed his eyes, and the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared, but the corners of his mouth were still unemotionally raised, staring at the undisguised salivation on the other's face.

The man stared at An Wujiu, and finally confirmed, "Are you sure it's Gabriel? He's 100% straight."

"Who knows? Maybe it's not right when we meet us." Shen Ti stretched out his hand, grabbed the opponent's chin, and straightened his face with a smile, forcing him to face himself.

"Not only am I handsome, but I also have a good job."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

An Wujiu: You really can't believe a word this person said.

Shen Ti: Who says you can't believe it? The last sentence is true, if it is fake, you can try it for free!
