Civilization Paradise

Chapter 40 is so tragic
"Good, well said."

Qian Sha excitedly opened the gene box.

Suddenly, a burst of light shone.

Everyone turned to look at the opened gene box.

When the light faded, a type I CHCS-01 insect-derived gene injection containing dark green liquid was revealed.

Many of his subordinates were taken aback.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing the insect-transformation gene injection, Qian Sha's excited expression vanished instantly, replaced by a dark and gloomy look. He then picked up the injection and slammed it heavily to the ground.

slap~
The entire gene injection was instantly smashed to pieces.

At this moment, Qian Sha's subordinates all looked at Lao Gui with hostility and questioned him in a cold voice.

"How dare you try to fool an adult with this kind of garbage!"

"Sir, please don't be angry. I really didn't know it contained this kind of thing. I didn't open it!"

Old Ghost immediately knelt down and explained in great fear.

Qian Sha took a deep breath, suppressed his agitation, and looked at Lao Gui.

"Get up. I didn't say you did anything wrong. But remember my words, be careful next time. I don't need this kind of trash, you understand?"

"understand!"

Old Ghost nodded quickly.

"Go ahead and don't let me down."

Qian Sha raised his hand and waved it domineeringly.

"Yes"

Old Ghost quickly got up and left.

Qian Sha watched the old ghost's departing figure and spoke irritably.

"I thought I could find the gene serum I wanted before others, but it turned out to be a false alarm!"

"Don't worry, sir, we have already sent everyone to collect them."

Captain Alang quickly offered words of comfort.

"Tell them to hurry up!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded respectfully.

Downtown area.

Long Ming dragged his tired body toward the rented room.

Shortly after, in the dimly lit corridor.

Long Ming walked up the stairs and saw a figure lurking suspiciously at his front door.

He immediately narrowed his eyes and slowed his pace, walking over quietly.

At this moment, in front of the rented room door, a slightly chubby man with a round face, wearing loose green clothes, was scratching his head incessantly as he looked at the tightly closed door.

"That's strange, did I remember wrong?"

"Are you looking for me?"

At that moment, a cold voice came from behind.

The man in front of him was startled, then turned around and looked over. When he saw Long Ming standing behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Long, you scared me to death!"

"You scared me to death? What are you doing lurking around my doorstep?"

"Of course I came to see you."

"come in."

Long Ming opened the door and went inside.

Little Fatty then followed him into the rented room, closing the door behind him.

Long Ming picked up a cup, poured a glass of water, handed it to Little Fatty, and then spoke.

What brings you here?

"Oh dear, you're so heartless! You come right up to me and start questioning me without even exchanging pleasantries or asking if I've eaten?"

Little Fatty looked at Long Ming with a wronged expression.

Why did I ask you if you've eaten? I haven't eaten myself yet.

Long Ming was speechless.

"what?"

Little Fatty was also taken aback; he hadn't expected that Long Ming hadn't eaten either.

Long Ming sighed, then asked the little fat boy.

"We only have instant noodles at home, do you want some?"

"want!"

Little Fatty nodded quickly.

Long Ming walked to the kitchen and took out two packets of instant noodles from the bag.

At this moment, Little Fatty followed into the kitchen and asked.

"Is there anything to drink in the fridge?"

"No."

Long Ming replied calmly.

"I do not believe."

Little Fatty then opened the refrigerator and saw a red bag inside the empty space. He curiously opened it and took a look, then exclaimed in surprise to Long Ming.

"Holy crap! Bull penis! And you said there was nothing good here."

"If you want some, here you go."

Long Ming replied indifferently.

"Really? That's so embarrassing."

The chubby boy said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter, I don't eat that stuff anyway. But I don't have a pressure cooker at home, so I can't cook it until it's soft. You can take it home and cook it yourself."

Long Ming opened a packet of instant noodles, put it into a small pot, added some tap water, and started cooking.

"Okay, I'll be welcome then."

Little Fatty replied happily.

After a while.

Long Ming and Xiao Pang sat on the old sofa, eating freshly cooked instant noodles.

"good to eat."

Little Fatty ate like a starving ghost, wolfing down his food.

Seeing his expression, Long Ming frowned and asked.

"How long has it been since you last ate?"

"Two days."

"What the hell? How did I end up in such a miserable state?"

"Don't even mention it. Didn't I already take your materials and equipment?"

"Well, then what?"

"As a result, the market crashed, and we simply couldn't sell anything!"

"Why don't you sell it for a lower price?"

“I sell at 40% off, while others sell at 30% off. I sell at 30% off, while they sell at 10% off. I can’t sell them at all.”

"That's only a little over 20,000, it can't be that bad, right?"

"Don't even mention it. Do you still remember Zheng Lei?"

"I remember, he's just like you, a merchant who resells equipment in the game. But I rarely interact with him, so I'm not familiar with him."

Long Ming nodded slightly in reply.

“Zheng Lei told me that he heard from some channels that the newly opened Civilization Paradise game experience was not good. He said that playing that game was dangerous, that it hurt a lot when people were hit, and that there were all negative reviews. Everyone was quitting the game. So he asked me to join him in collecting equipment from Black Star. We each invested more than 100,000 yuan, but who knew that the game would go bankrupt and run away with our money. We both lost everything. Now I can't even pay the rent and have been kicked out by the landlord.”

Little Fatty explained with a mournful face.

Upon hearing this, Long Ming showed a hint of suspicion on his face before speaking.

"Don't you sense something's wrong? Are you sure you've both lost everything?"

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

"Do you think it's possible that he deliberately teamed up with you, then used a secondary account to sell the items to you? So you were the only one who lost money from beginning to end?"

"Holy crap, that bastard, I'm going to find him!"

Little Fatty immediately realized what was happening.

"Alright, don't go! It's no use you going to him. Your transaction was normal, and you have no proof."

"Waaah, what should I do?"

"You could consider venturing into the Civilization Paradise."

"Which game can make money?"

"Sure, I think with your reselling skills, you should be able to make a living without any problem."

"Okay, I've made up my mind. I'm going to stay and march into the Civilization Paradise with you, and make a comeback!"

Little Fatty was immediately filled with fighting spirit.

"Get out, I'm not used to living with other people."

Long Ming refused in an annoyed manner.

"Brother Long, are you really going to just stand by and watch someone die? We've been friends for so many years, how can you be so heartless?"

Little Fatty looked at Long Ming pitifully.

Long Ming picked up his phone and transferred 2000 mountain coins to Xiao Pang, saying indifferently.

"The money has been transferred to you; figure it out yourself."

"Oh, only 2000 mountain coins? We can't even afford a helmet, how are we supposed to play?"

Little Fatty glanced at the messages on his phone and asked dejectedly.

"You don't need to buy a helmet. Just go to an internet cafe. Many internet cafes in the mountainous area have upgraded their equipment. Although internet cafes in the lower district can't afford to upgrade to gaming pods, they still have gaming helmets, and the internet access fees won't be too high."

Long Ming directly pointed out a path to Little Fatty.

"Okay, you wait for me, I will definitely rise again."

After hearing Long Ming's words, Little Fatty said excitedly.

"Go on, I need to rest too."

Long Ming said calmly.

"it is good!"

Little Fatty then excitedly got up and left.

Long Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the chubby boy leave; he had finally gotten rid of the kid.

He tidied up the dishes and went back to his room to rest.
