Chapter 238: Online Dating Scam (Part 1)
After agreeing on the statement in advance, Tang Xinjue entered the insured person on the parchment.
Golden light flickered from the paper, and the props actually didn't raise any objections - they just got stuck on the insurance coverage.
Soon, a little golden man in a black suit came out from inside.
It pulled out a smaller stack of documents and carefully flipped through them, then looked around the room: "Who looks like Tang Xin Jue?"
Tang Xin Jue: "It's me."
The little golden man looked around again: "Which one looks like 606?"
Four voices: "We."
Little Man: "How much is your... friendship worth?"
It stared at the string of "astronomical figures" that Tang Xinjue signed on the parchment.
Tang Xin Jue: "That depends on how you judge the value of the insured property. From the perspective of internal contributions, we've lived together for the past few years, passed exams together, and risked our lives in the game. Your contribution to the dormitory's current level and value must account for at least 50%."
The little guy was shocked after the conversion and quickly shook his head like a rattle: "What about other angles?"
"From an external perspective, to maintain our friendship, classmates like Shang Yinghong sacrificed their lives time and time again, followed by the selfless dedication of Grandma Mayas and many residents of the Transformation Community. Furthermore, Li Xiaoyu, Wu Shi, classmates from the Student Union, and external guests like Chaos God all helped us build our beautiful future."
If the weight of these "costs" is converted out -
Tang Xin Jue said confidently, "According to this standard, I think we should add another 50% to the original amount."
Little man: "..."
It frantically flipped through the documents: "It seems that the maximum amount we can pay is only 50% of your first application amount..."
Tang Xinjue: "80%."
"Up to 60%!"
"make a deal."
Then, as collateral for the insufficient insurance premium, Tang Xinjue and his companions generously took out two cell phones belonging to student union members.
The little guy was flattered: "These are the latest styles launched by the University Town Commercial Street. I didn't expect you guys are so rich."
The three of them looked at Zhang You thoughtfully:
"oh……"
They didn't expect that these things were so valuable.
Tang Xin Jue's eyes turned and he asked, "Since they are so popular in the university town, where can I go if I want to sell them?"
Having just finished discussing a sales deal, the little guy happily answered all the questions: "Old Man Zhang's Repair Shop and the affordable mobile phone store on the commercial street both buy used phones. I can give you their contact information. Remember to come to me next time you have an order~"
Tang Xin Jue caught the key words: "Besides used mobile phones, home appliances and props, is there anything else that can be recycled in the university town?"
" For example ...the food in the casino food court."
After capturing the fragmented ghost consciousness from the food court, Tang Xin Jue discovered that the two ghost marks in his sea of consciousness would spontaneously devour it. If he didn't take steps to stop it, this consciousness would soon become a tonic for Li Xiaoyu or the Chaos God.
This is no good for 606.
"It seems that it's not impossible? But it seems that human trafficking is not allowed in universities now. Let me think... Oh, right, you can mortgage it to Wang Jiji Group or Mr. Bu, right?"
The insurance man counted on his fingers: "The TV station, the student mall, the university town commercial street, the food court, the night market... tracing back to their origins, they are all managed by the Wang Jiji Group. And the entertainment venue, the competition system, and the prop system are all Mr. Bu's creations."
"Generally speaking, from our insurance industry's perspective, the value of resident awareness, as you describe it, which is close to dissipating but not yet completely gone, is still very high. Besides using it to offset insurance premiums, it's best to send them to TV stations or entertainment venues to work as collateral."
Tang Xin Jue: "Isn't human trafficking prohibited in the University Town?"
The little guy shook his head. "Where we are, this is called the trainee internship system. How can an internship be considered human trafficking?"
“…”
After the insurance was settled, the future of Food Court Ghost was temporarily put on the agenda.
However, in the next two days, perhaps because the Noseless Ghost suffered too much psychological trauma, the TV station never turned on again.
On the customer service side, the counselor feedback that was repeatedly promised has been out of contact.
The recovered phone contained numerous contact numbers, but none of them could be dialed. The claw machine, with no battery, sat quietly in the corner, staring at the white ball in bewilderment.
The recycled food from the promotion was gone, and I couldn't afford to buy nutrient solution or batteries. Fortunately, White Dumpling's intelligence had improved, and he'd become more sensible and no longer chirped annoyingly all day long. Most of the time, he spent his time playing with the claw machine or leaning against the dorm door, which had a video doorbell installed, trying to interact with the owner who heard footsteps outside.
Patrolman: ...
The sound of its steps seemed to grow angrier.
With the end of "Crazy Wednesday", 606 seemed to have returned to the indescribable state of being stranded and disconnected from the world .
Without the new challenges that appear regularly at 8 o'clock every morning, the sense of crisis seems to be dispersed into every minute and every second, becoming more intense as time goes by.
In the end, Guo Guo couldn't even make a joke anymore.
Quiet, silent, and depressing.
Everyone knew that no matter how much preparation they made, there was no foolproof strategy for the game.
Tang Xin Jue devised 16 possible danger scenarios and required them to be memorized. By the end, Guo Guo felt a chill on the back of his neck even when he went to the bathroom. He requested that Tang Xin Jue's toilet plunger be hung on the sink facing the bathroom door so he could calm down when he woke up in the middle of the night. Then, the plunger angrily spat water in his face.
"Don't mention the toilet in front of it. The plunger won't tolerate such talk." Tang Xinjue fed it a small red flip phone case. The plunger swallowed it with great reserve, and a dim skull mark appeared on the top of the handle.
606 was not excited.
After the third skull mark formed, the plunger, having absorbed three superpowers, never gained any new abilities. The things it devoured became increasingly diverse, but even if a new skull mark briefly formed, it would only be a dim, shadowy shadow that would disappear after a short while.
[Toilet Plunger Knight (Level 3): To reach a new level is the dream of every power owner. However, for a rare item-based power, this remains a difficult and elusive question. The Toilet Plunger seems confident in this, so why not give it another try?]
…
On Friday morning, the four of them opened their eyes to the sound of the exam bell.
No one spoke, but everyone knew what was going on.
It's time to move on to the next exam.
"Ding-dong-dong, dong-dong-ding—"
"Wonderful Friday, class time has arrived, the test papers have been distributed, everyone get ready~"
[Please select one of the following test contents. Countdown: 5 minutes]
[A. A Record of Online Dating Scams]
[B. Guide to passing skipping classes]
[C. Takeaway anti-lost tutorial]
Compared with the thrilling and exciting exam questions before, the options given this time seemed a bit plain.
It would be even better if after identification, not all of them are of A-level difficulty.
Guo Guo sensed it for a few seconds and opened his eyes: "B and C are more dangerous."
After this period of training, Guo Guo's control and sensitivity over her abilities had greatly improved. Although the three options were equally malicious, she still managed to grasp the subtle differences.
The four of them held each other's hands and concentrated their minds: "Let's choose A."
[Ding, registration successful, exam loading...]
The exam for "Online Dating Scams" has begun. The papers are open. Please work hard!
“Wuwuwu…”
As soon as he opened his eyes, Guo Guo was frightened by the crying sound in his ears.
Then she saw clearly that there was a strange girl crying beside her.
"Why do I have to be the unlucky one? This is my monthly living expenses. How should I tell my family..."
"You're fine, I even took out a loan. If the school can't help me, I'll just jump off the building!"
Looking closely
But at the same time, Guo Guo's most intuitive feeling was:
I have never been to such a cold place in my life.
Even the spooky top-floor corridor in the college entrance examination copy was not as cold as the one she felt with her Yin-Yang eyes now.
Shivering involuntarily, Guo Guo immediately looked for his roommates. He soon spotted Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing in the crowd.
She had just felt relieved when she saw Zhang You shaking his head at her with a serious expression, mouthing:
"The Heart Sutra is gone."
