Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 33 is ridiculous, right? 200 calls a day?
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun turned on his computer.

Since the game's public beta launch, he has been checking on the players' story progress every day without fail.

Although he didn't think anyone could escape from the park so quickly.

But we still need to take precautions in advance.

What if...

As it turned out, he had worried unnecessarily.

Currently, most players are still stuck on the kidnapping storyline at the beginning of the game, with only a few players getting sold into the park at the start.

These players are starting work in the park today.

And the job content will definitely overturn their understanding once again.

Time passed quickly and it was night in the blink of an eye.

After dinner, Wang Zixu lay in bed, chatting and joking with netizens in the "Persuade to Spend Money Club".

[The King of Freeloaders: Fellow pig lovers, which industrial park have you been sold to? Have you started working yet?]

"Pig Friends" is what players refer to themselves.

It was originally called "Fake Friends," but it was too difficult to pronounce.

Later, when everyone entered the game, they found that they all started as "piglets".

A life destined to roll around on a cutting board.

And so, over time, the term "pig friend" spread.

[Aoi-sensei: You should be the fastest progresser in the entire server when it comes to the story. You haven't even started working yet, so no one should be faster than you.]

[The Lewd Demon King: The early plot is easy to catch up with. I've seen several streamers enter the park, and I heard they won't officially start working on the first day.]

[Three times a day: Not working? Then what are you doing? Taking a day off to get familiar with the environment?]

[Sun and Moon in Mistake: I heard from a guy online that on the first day of work, you don't do any actual work; apparently, you have to do some simple pre-job training.]

[The King of Freeloaders: Training? This company seems pretty professional. By the way, what kind of training? How to commit fraud?]

Wang Zixu couldn't help but laugh out loud after typing this.

So cool!
He found the idea of ​​conducting pre-job training for fraudsters in a fraud-themed park within an anti-fraud game absurd.

"It's almost time to go in."

Wang Zixu glanced at the time, turned off his phone, and put on the virtual reality headset.

Welcome to the game! You are Wang Zixu. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience.

As usual, I first opened the Bilibili live stream and interacted with the new viewers.

"...Would you like to know how the scam park actually operates?"

"Follow Brother Piao's perspective to uncover the secrets!"

"Let's cut to the chase and get into the game!"

After the live stream had been thoroughly hyped up, Wang Zixu officially started the game.

Everything went dark for a moment, then suddenly bright again.

The scene has changed.

A strong sense of drowsiness instantly washed over me.

Wang Zixu couldn't help but yawn.

This is a normal physiological reaction when a character is forcibly awakened from sleep.

Take a slight breath.

His eyes widened immediately.

The sour, foul smell emanating from the blanket hit my nostrils.

Wang Zixu frowned and kicked the blanket away with a look of disgust.

I let out a long breath and finally felt a little better.

He glanced at the window and, through the narrow gaps, could sense that it wasn't fully light outside yet.

The people around were still lying on the ground, fast asleep, their snores rising and falling.

Wang Zixu leaned against the wall and first checked the offline logs.

The above records all sorts of trivial matters, such as who went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, who sneezed, and who had a few words with whom...

After reading the whole thing, I found nothing unusual, nor any valuable information.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

Wang Mazi sat up at some point, yawning as he asked.

"Uh, a little."

Wang Zixu chuckled.

"The first day was normal."

"You'll get used to it eventually."

Wang Mazi said something quite philosophical.

Wang Zixu pondered the words for a moment, feeling that something was off, but he didn't say anything, wondering when he could start work.

The images from the game's cutscenes are already flashing in my mind.

"To succeed, you have to go crazy! Charge for money at all costs!"

Are they going to stand there like idiots in the park and shout some silly slogans later?

It's quite embarrassing to think about.

I reckon the viewers in the live stream will burst out laughing, and it'll probably be edited into clips and uploaded online.

Wang Mazi fumbled under his pillow for a cigarette with a torn wrapper, lit it, took a deep drag, and then offered it to Wang Zixu. "Want a puff?"

Wang Zixu stared at the cigarette for a long time before he remembered that it was the "Daqianmen" cigarette that appeared in the history textbook.

Wasn't this thing obsolete more than two hundred years ago?

They actually made it into the game; that's pretty impressive.

"Your throat is sore, go ahead and smoke."

He politely declined, and kindly offered a reminder:
"It's full of nicotine; smoking is harmful to your health."

"It's better to smoke less."

Even if smoking were beneficial to health, Wang Zixu would not smoke.

The main reason was that he felt the cigarette was unclean, especially since Wang Mazi had taken a puff of it.

If he smokes again, wouldn't that be like an indirect kiss?

Kissing a creepy-looking old man? Just thinking about it makes me sick.

"Ha ha……"

Wang Mazi couldn't help but chuckle twice.

He would like to smoke every day, and he has the means to do so.

"When you get to a place like this, what's the point of talking about health? You never know when you might lose your life."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zixu felt no fear whatsoever.

The fact that you could lose your life at any moment precisely illustrates how incredibly difficult the game is.

The million-dollar prize for clearing the game is definitely not easy to obtain.

Those shortcuts circulating on the forum are likely not feasible.

He thought this to himself, but on his face he feigned a surprised expression:

"Huh? Is it that scary?"

Seeing his strong reaction, Wang Mazi patted him on the shoulder:

“I can tell you’re different from that kid who was so eager to die during the day.”

"But with your personality, you're easily taken advantage of."

He paused, then lowered his voice and said:
"Kid, remember one thing."

"To survive long here, the first thing is to be obedient, and the second is to mind your own business."

Wang Zixu nodded thoughtfully.

He felt that although the NPC named Wang Mazi was ugly, what he said did make some sense.

His previous deaths were partly due to his sympathy for others and his excessive acts of kindness.

Little did he know that he had no ability to save people at all.

"Oh right, what you said before you went to sleep..."

Wang Zixu gestured towards the spot where the young couple was sleeping and asked in a low voice:
"What kind of show is it?"

"Does the park restrict dating within its boundaries?"

Wang Mazi took another drag of his cigarette, and sighed amidst the swirling smoke:
"In places like this, women suffer more than men, especially women who are not ugly."

"If you're not smart enough to make money, you're destined to end up in the Red Chamber."

"Of course, it's also possible that they'll be dragged directly into the alley to solicit customers."

Wang Zixu took a breath, inwardly exclaiming, "Holy crap!"

"So beastly?"

Suddenly, he remembered what Wu Sanqing had told him when they were at Miaowadi.

This place doesn't discriminate between men and women; it only values ​​people.

So, of that young couple, the man was bought.

What about the woman?

That girl who doesn't seem quite right,

What will be her fate?

Wang Zixu got goosebumps all over and dared not think any further.

"Ugh……"

Wang Mazi finished his last puff of cigarette, stubbed it out on the ground, and coughed lightly.
“A woman came last month. She used to be a live streamer. She’s quite good-looking.”

“I’ve been here for over a month, and if I don’t work hard and don’t meet my performance targets, I’ll be sent to work as a prostitute.”

"At its peak, I received over two hundred calls a day, and in the end, the person died in bed."

Wang Zixu's mouth was slightly open, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Suddenly his expression hardened.

Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right, does it?

There are loopholes in what he said.

"Old Wang, it's no fun trying to scare people like this."

"There are 24 hours in a day. Even if each person only lasts 5 minutes, 200 times would still take 16 or 17 hours, right?"

"Not eating, not drinking, not sleeping?"

"It feels too exaggerated, it doesn't make sense."
