Doomsday survival game? I became a boss by picking up trash

Chapter 291

Rare potions, rare potion recipes, weapon recipes, equipment recipes, seeds, skill books, ...

There are some supplies of all kinds.

Song Yu casually picked up a potion formula; any one of these would be a rare one.

A seemingly ordinary formula called rose syrup actually has the effect of reversing aging and maintaining youth.

It can keep the body's functions at their best forever.

This potion is something many players will need.

After all, people are just living longer and aging more slowly; they're not immune to aging and death.

Song Yu was a little curious about where her grandmother got all these nice things, but she didn't ask.

Grandma is the best.

"Thank you, Grandma. I love you."

Song Yu smiled and made a big heart shape with her hands for her grandmother. Grandma and Xiao Hei are the best in the whole world!

Grandma smiled and shook her head. This child.

When will Xiao Hei be back?

Grandma asked.

"I don't know. I'll give the gift to Xiao Hei when it comes back. For now, I'll keep it for safekeeping."

Song Yu really wanted to open the local specialty gift that her grandmother had brought back for Xiao Hei, but doing so would be very unethical.

She has to respect Xiao Hei.

"Grandma, I'm going to Marriott City now."

Grandma is back, and Song Yu is about to retire successfully.

Running a small shop requires someone to be there every day; it's quite tiring.

After several days, Song Yu was still unsure whether opening such a shop for her grandmother was a good thing or a bad thing.

It should be more good than bad, right?
As long as Grandma is happy.

How can you, who are not fish, know the joy of fish?
Song Yu took the gifts and set off for Marriott City.

Song Yu doesn't have many of the raw materials for rose liquid, and he doesn't know if Marriott City will have them.

Yongjin's mother nest must not disappoint her.

Arriving in Marriott City once again, it's still as bustling as ever.

Song Yu's arrival was quite opportune; she happened to arrive just as a celebrity from Marriott City was holding a meet-and-greet.

She was standing outside the crowd, biting into an ice cream cone. Are there still celebrities these days?

What is the role of stars in Yongjin Mother Nest?
Do the residents here still have time to watch movies and TV series for entertainment?
Song Yu was quite curious.

However, Song Yu felt that the celebrity's face looked somewhat familiar.
She stroked her chin, trying to remember where she had seen this person before, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't recall.

He's not an important character.

Although he is really good-looking.

They were more attractive than any of the beautiful women and handsome men Song Yu had ever seen at the Yongjin Mother Nest in Marriott City.

The models are so detailed they don't even look human.

It has a ghostly feel to it.

In the past, with just his face, even without any acting skills or professional abilities, he could have become a top star overnight.

After finishing her ice cream, Song Yu left the city center of Marriott City; she wasn't going to join in the fun.

Too noisy.

Back in the quiet slum, it seemed like it suddenly got dark.

Living in a place like this is truly despairing.

No wonder people in the slums love going to casinos and buying lottery tickets. Who wouldn't want the chance to become rich overnight?

When passing by a lottery shop, Song Yu casually bought two lottery tickets.

The lottery shops in Marriott City are quite unique, offering more than just the kinds of lotteries they used to see.

There are also cards.

It's like those old-fashioned gacha/collecting merchandise items from anime IPs.

The lottery shop no longer sells ordinary lottery cards, but rather various daily necessities and even some special items.

It's somewhat similar to a scratch-off lottery ticket, but with a few differences.

The cards drawn from the card blind box will directly turn into corresponding resources.

Correspondingly, the price is not low either.

One box contains ten packets, and each packet contains three cards. One box costs 18,000 yuan.

Song Yu bought a box to try it out.

"Not bad luck."

She raised an eyebrow, looking at the words "one year lifespan" written on the card.

"boom--!!"

A giant firework exploded above Song Yu, and the lottery shop clerk rang a bell to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, sir! You've won the grand prize! A year of lifespan!!"

If you were to sell that year of life on the market, it would be worth a million!
She doubled her investment in a box of cards that cost 18,000 yuan.

While not enough to become rich overnight, it's enough to live comfortably for several years.

"Give me two more boxes."

Song Yu was a little tipsy and immediately said to the shop assistant.

One box of cards after another was opened, and all sorts of resource cards were piled up around Song Yu.

A thick stack of them, which made the old gamblers around him envious.

When she finally calmed down, Song Yu realized that she had spent 3.6 million yuan on blind card draws.

Sure enough, gambling is addictive.

Song Yu sighed deeply, then bought two lottery tickets for twenty yuan each and left.

These small expenses have accumulated to so much without me even realizing it.

Three million six hundred thousand was nothing to Song Yu; it was just a drop in the ocean, something she could easily earn back.

However, the methods of capital are full of pitfalls.

Of all those resource cards, Song Yu got nothing except for the initial one-year lifespan.

blood loss.

Dejected, Song Yu returned to her house and saw an old acquaintance. Only then did she realize why the celebrity she had just seen looked so familiar.

That's a super-optimized version of a Molotov cocktail.

The extremely good-looking player she encountered in the very first dungeon.

The Molotov cocktail already looks great, but that celebrity is a super-optimized version of him.

"Song Yu, you've taken a liking to me?"

Ning Hechuan touched his face. Song Yu was so rich, it wasn't impossible for him to submit to her.

"You sold your face to the Yongjin Mother Nest?"

Song Yu's words shattered Ning Hechuan's illusions, and his face immediately fell.

"He's not buying face."

Sister Shen was still there, leaning against the railing with a mischievous grin on her face.

"What he's selling is genetic material and image rights."

"That guy."

Sister Shen raised her chin, indicating the direction of the city center.

"It was created using his genes to modify people. Should we say it's Ning Hechuan's child or his clone?"

Even Sister Shen couldn't say for sure; who knows how Yongjin's brood nest operates?

"You met that celebrity, didn't you?"

Another player, who was brushing his teeth, joined in with a mouthful of toothpaste.

The apartment complex that Song Yu bought is an old-style residential area, somewhat like a tenement building from the 1970s or 80s, but with a few more floors.

There are only stairs, no elevator.

However, players generally don't use the stairs.

"That guy is a cyborg with the genes of several people; he's incredibly good-looking."

"I heard there's also a female cyborg who will be introduced soon."

"Another great tool for harvesting韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting people)."

The player shook his head. "Wow, that's really profitable."

Song Yu turned to look at Ning Hechuan, patted him on the shoulder, said nothing, yet seemed to have said everything.

"..."

I feel like I'm being pitied.

Ning Hechuan remained silent; he had only sold a few vials of blood.

At the time, Yongjin's mother nest offered him an astronomical price of 100,000 for a can of blood, and of course he was willing to sell it.

He originally wanted to sell more cans, but Yongjin Mother Nest wouldn't buy them, so he only sold three cans.

Then I signed a few papers without really understanding what was going on, and who knew it would turn out like this.

So melancholy.

If Yongjin Mother Nest had that intention, it would have been much better to just contact him directly.

He's willing to get plastic surgery.

"You're so old and frail, who would want you?"

A player carrying a water cup walked by, delivering a sharp blow to Ning Hechuan's heart.

Indeed, a man in his thirties is no match for a young man in his prime at eighteen.

"Have Chu Langtang and Hong arrived yet?" Song Yu jumped onto the second-floor room where Sister Shen lived, and asked while standing on the balcony railing.

She, Sister Shen, and Sang Ning all lived on the second floor of the same building.

"You're here. Stay in the house over there."

Sister Shen pointed to one of the buildings under Song Yu's name and said.

Song Yu's AI has been handling these house matters, and in the past two days, convenience stores, pharmacies, and restaurants have all opened shops on the first floor.

Moreover, the AI is applying to the Yongjin Mother Nest to build a new house. This place is so big, how can there only be a few houses?

The player's quarters are for the player to live in, and some other areas are designated for building houses to rent to the people in the slums.

Compared to Yongjin's mother nest, Song Yu has a huge advantage.

She is a human being with flesh and blood.

"Shall we go over and have a chat?"

Song Yu looked at Sister Shen and asked.

"No."

Sister Shen shook her head decisively; she had no desire to see those people from the national team.

Song Yu nodded and went over.

She wasn't there to exchange pleasantries with the national team members; her main purpose was to see if she could get any information out of them.

Let's see how they plan to deal with the Evergrande Nest.

Humans also have their own wisdom. She, however, doesn't seem to have much wisdom, so she'll go and see what other humans have.

The entire building was rented by the national team. The national team members who came to Marriott City were not only players, but also many ordinary people.

Ordinary people with high intelligence.

When Song Yu arrived, there was a group of people gathered in the lobby on the first floor, operating something on a computer and talking from time to time.

She couldn't understand it, nor could she hear it.

If only Xiao Hei were here.

"AI, what are they saying?"

Song Yu summoned the AI and asked in a low voice.

"They are trying to use financial means to sabotage and destroy Yongjin's parent company."

The AI politely replied to Song Yu.

"is it possible?"

Song Yu turned to look at her, but the AI shook its head.

Yongjin's Nest is just a city, an emotional monster that uses the city as its vessel.

It is indeed capital, but it is different from the common kind of capital.

The rules are in its hands.

If it comes to using financial means, the AI is unlikely to succeed 100%, but it's certainly 80-90% impossible.

"Have you come up with any way to acquire it?"

Song Yu asked again.

"Would you like to know if it's fast or slow?"

"Quickly."

"Yongjin Casino".

The AI smiled slightly.

"Don't joke around, I'm about to be blocked."

Even if Song Yu wasn't blacklisted, she was still being watched all the time. Once she entered the casino, at least seventy or eighty surveillance cameras would be watching her.

However, she also knew that the AI was right.

Yongjin Casino is the fastest way to make money, and it has the highest potential reward—you could say there's practically no limit.

【Owner.】

Suddenly, the AI's voice rang in Song Yu's mind, and she turned her head.

I can give it a try.

[Request system intervention to conduct a betting game with Yongjin Mother Nest without any cheating methods.]

The AI spoke to her earnestly.

[Tell me more details. 】

If you want to take over the Golden Nest as quickly as possible, then the Golden Casino is undoubtedly the fastest way.

[There is no limit to gambling; even the Everlasting Gold Nest cannot stop it.]

That's how casinos operate; it's fair to say that Marriott City is a rather unique place.

Even if Yongjin Mother Nest wanted to change the rules of Yongjin Casino, it wouldn't work.

[You are under close surveillance by the Evergrande Mother Nest, but I am not.]

[As long as the application system intervenes, preventing Yongjin Mother Nest from using cheating methods, I am confident that I can win enough money from Yongjin Mother Nest for the acquisition.]

The AI, which usually had a blank expression, suddenly broke into a confident smile.

She is the pride of the AI.

But you don't have any property.

You have nothing to offer as collateral.

Song Yu pointed out the problem incisively: the AI was her possession.

The focus is on this possession.

This also means that the AI does not have independent rights.

She could gamble with Yongjin's mother nest, but—

The cost must be borne by Song Yu, the owner of the property.

To put it bluntly, if the AI were to harbor any disloyalty, Song Yu would die at the hands of her and the Yongjin Mother Nest.

Death is the easiest outcome; the worst is to suffer a fate worse than death.

Like Sister Kidney, like those in debt, like those who have undergone rehabilitation...

To be frank, Song Yu simply doesn't trust AI.

If it were Xiao Hei who said this, then Song Yu would be willing to give his all without reservation.

But Song Yu dared not use the AI.

Even if the system says that the AI is completely loyal to her, Song Yu still cannot entrust it with her trust.

The AI has a history of misconduct, okay?

In the Omnic Crisis scenario, there were countless humans willing to entrust their trust to the Omnics, but what was their fate?

She was timid and dared not gamble on that possibility.

The system, the system isn't that reliable either.

It is not powerful enough to control everything.

Most importantly, I don't trust you.

Song Yu made no attempt to hide it.

Those less important assets can be entrusted to the AI; we can always earn more later.

But the bet with Yongjin's mother nest was a bet that would cost her her life.

"Yes, Master. I will think of other ways."

The AI remained calm and understood Song Yu.

Her data told her that it's normal for humans to distrust machines.

Especially for someone like Song Yu, who has experienced the mechanical rebellion and is herself a human who is unwilling to entrust her trust to others.

This is normal.

【come on. 】

Song Yu said it very casually.

Taking over the Yongjin mother nest is going to be tough.

She didn't trust the AI, and other methods were too slow.

I wonder when the dungeon will officially arrive.

This situation is causing Song Yu a lot of trouble.

"Song Yu, you've arrived."

Chu Lang and Tang Hong had noticed Song Yu long ago, but since Song Yu was chatting with the AI, they didn't disturb her.

"long time no see."

"Come to my house when you have time."

Song Yu said politely.
