Life Dungeon Game

Reed laughed and said, "When people have family and attachments, they become vulnerable. His best option was actually to take his daughter to another city and run away, but he still wanted to eliminate us in one fell swoop."

"Perhaps they can't let go of the house and the good times in the store, but greed will never end well."

The officer knew his mission had come, and he straightened up. "Tell me, what should we do?"

“Let’s turn the tables on him,” Reed said slowly. “Contract our forces, move all the sentries that were originally guarding the Pete’s house away, and then set up a group of hidden sentries around a larger area around his house. His daughter is just an ordinary person and won’t have much ability to hide her identity.”

"Once his daughter appears nearby, immediately go there with the enhancement potion."

"Yes! I will do it immediately."

The officer said quickly.

“Since he dares to come back,” Reed smiled, looking out the window at the light gradually obscured by dark clouds, “let him stay forever.”

Jingle Bell--

Just then, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Reed pressed the speakerphone button, and a gentle female voice came from the phone.

"Chief, you have a phone call requesting access."

"who is it?"

"Professor Coles."

I've written too much, it'll be a little late, almost seven thousand words! A truly long chapter! Double monthly votes needed, please vote!

Chapter 459 The Senator's Family (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets/Happy National Day)

"Mr. Genos, I heard you're preparing a proposal called the 'Pension Expansion Act'?"

The beautifully dressed host wore an impeccable smile, placed her hands in front of her, and looked at the interviewee not far in front of her.

He was a middle-aged man, impeccably dressed, with shiny black hair and a smiling face. He sat on the sofa opposite the host and spoke softly.

"Yes, we all know that prices are getting higher and higher, especially medical costs, while the annual increase in social security pensions is adjusted according to the 'Consumer Price Index' issued by the Federal Social Security Administration."

The middle-aged man smiled.

"This 'Consumer Price Index' measures price changes for all consumer goods and services across the federal government, reflecting the overall cost of living across the country. However, it is not accurate when it comes to the cost of living for seniors."

"According to my statistics, in recent years, the elderly have spent far more on medical care than people of other age groups. Therefore, I believe that the reference for the elderly’s pension should be changed from the ‘national consumer price index’ to the ‘elderly consumer price index’ to provide better pension security for the elderly."

At this point, the man paused for a moment, "Limen City is a well-known longevity city in the entire Federation. Better retirement laws will also make it more convenient to serve the citizens of Limen City."

······

"Pah!" Beneath the huge television screen, a filthy young man looked up at the glamorous interview on the screen and spat.

"No matter what you say, it all comes down to raising pensions, and raising pensions just means we have to pay more money."

He lit a cigarette and crushed the beer can in his hand. "Even if pensions are raised, they won't end up benefiting the elderly. They'll just be eaten up by medical conglomerates. If they're so capable, let them legislate to limit medical expenses."

He stood on tiptoe and threw the can in his hand at the TV screen in the sky, yelling, "Damn it, you bastard."

The empty soda can arced through the air, past Genos's smiling face on the television screen, and landed in the dark sidewalk below the gleaming television screen.

"Hey you, what are you doing over there?"

A security guard patrolling nearby spotted the young man throwing the can, pulled out a rubber roller, and walked over.

"What bad luck."

The young man spat as he watched the security guard run over, then limped away into the night.

"That person looks familiar. Isn't he your former colleague from the construction company?"

Two smartly dressed girls walked past under the lights and looked at the young man who was limping away.

"Seems to be."

Another girl took a sip of the coffee she was carrying.

"I remember he used to be quite handsome, and he spoke with great depth. How did he end up like this?"

The girl who asked the question first spoke softly.

"I was hit by a car while on a field mission. The driver fled the scene. I broke my leg. My medical insurance wasn't enough, and the medical treatment used up all my savings."

The girl sipping her coffee slowly said, "Because he had no money, he was kicked out of the hospital. Because he was absent from work for a long time while recovering from illness, he was legally dismissed by his company and lost his source of income. I heard that in the end, his leg also..."

"I wasn't cured, and I don't have the money to buy a mechanical prosthesis."

"well,"

The girl who asked the question sighed, "Life is unpredictable."

"really."

The girl drinking coffee also sighed, and the two slowly walked towards the shopping mall ahead.

The cold wind blew the aluminum cans that had fallen to the ground, making a hoarse and grating "thump thump thump" sound.

Card--

An elderly homeless man picked up an empty can from the ground, picked up a dirty, tattered sack, and trudged into the darkness.

A slender figure slowly emerged from the darkness, the dim light shining on him. The darkness receded from him, revealing his resolute and cold face.

He Ao turned his gaze away from the homeless elderly man and looked at the brightly lit studio on the screen above his head.

The guests in the studio were dressed in neat and expensive clothes, with confident smiles on their faces.

The medical market in Limen City is completely monopolized by the Qunxing Group.

Although medical monopoly alliances as a whole will raise prices, in regions where a single conglomerate holds a monopoly, medical prices will still be higher than in cities where other conglomerates compete.

Of course, this high price will not be directly listed, but will be broken down into various small 'services' and 'materials' in the bill.

Due to the high costs of traveling between major fortified cities—including time, money, and anticipated risks—many people are hesitant to seek medical care in other cities, even if they know that medical prices are lower.

Moreover, due to Qunxing Pharmaceutical's monopoly on healthcare, many businesses and even individuals in the store purchase medical insurance from insurance companies under Qunxing Pharmaceutical.

The reimbursement standards for these medical insurance policies in other regions are either non-reimbursement or extremely low reimbursement rates, which further hinders patients from seeking medical treatment in other places.

Of course, Qunxing Medical claims on its official website that it is fair and just, and that all medical prices are open and transparent.

However, it's quite reasonable that some cheap materials and services are 'just so' unavailable in different places.

The middle-aged man on TV was still talking animatedly.

He lowered his head and walked towards the bustling street ahead.

Newkel Street is the most bustling area in the city. Although it cannot compare to Eighth Avenue in Sunrise City, or even some of the more bustling large shopping malls in Sunrise City, it does attract the largest flow of people in the city, and the entire street presents a thriving scene.

Similarly, this is also the commercial center of the entire Limen City, and the most luxurious commercial office buildings in Limen City are basically located in the Newkel neighborhood.

These office buildings are all tall and luxurious. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can not only overlook the bright lights of the Newkel neighborhood, but also gaze at the vast and silent wilderness.

Of these office buildings, the Newkel Gold Building is the most luxurious.

He's destination this time, the headquarters of Romker's architecture firm, is located in this office building.

In the early morning, office buildings are filled with people rushing to work.

They hurriedly swiped their access cards, carrying bread and milk, and went inside the building.

He Ao also stopped in front of the door. He turned on his wristband and showed his resume to the security guard.

"Here for an interview?"

Security guard

He glanced at him and opened the access control.

He Ao went inside without any trouble.

A long queue had formed in front of the elevator. These young or middle-aged office workers squeezed at the elevator entrance, and most of them hurriedly ate a bite of breakfast before rushing onto the elevator.

Pete's former company was also in this office building, where he had worked for many years.

Most of the office workers here don't earn high wages.

They sat in the luxurious office rented by their boss, dressed in neat clothes, yet received meager wages.

They make up this magnificent prosperity, but this prosperity does not belong to them.

He Ao bought a coffee in the coffee shop on the first floor, stood quietly on the edge, and waited until everyone who was going to work got on the elevator before walking to the elevator.

After nine o'clock, the once noisy and bustling lobby on the first floor instantly became quiet.

The entire hall was empty, with only a few security guards walking back and forth.

He Ao walked to the elevator, turned on the elevator, and then pressed the button for the 57th floor. This was the second-highest floor in the entire building, and also the highest floor that the elevator could reach.

"Dad, do you think this swimsuit looks good on me?"

The blonde girl twirled in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, showing off her light blue lace halter swimsuit.

This is the 58th floor of the Newcor Gold Office Building, the very top floor of the entire building.

The entire office building, from floors 49 to 58, is occupied by Romack Architects. Half of the 58th floor was transformed into luxury villas by Romack.

This villa is very secure; to get here, you must first pass through 57 layers of strict security.

Here at Romerk, there is a vast outdoor swimming pool, rows of exquisite and luxurious rooms, and a spacious living room that resembles a palace.

Standing in front of this floor-to-ceiling window near the pool, he could overlook most of the scenery in the Limen area.

"nice."

Wearing a light gray suit and holding a glass of red wine, Romack reached out his somewhat calloused hand and slapped the blonde girl's shapely buttocks.

The fair, plump peach trembled gently, and ripples appeared on her snow-white skin. The blonde girl smiled sweetly, "Then Daddy, I'm going to play."

As she spoke, she skipped and hopped into the outdoor swimming pool, her long, slender, fair legs undulating in the water like a fish, swimming several meters away.

Then she turned back, rose from the water, looked at Romörk, and gave him a lovely smile.

Her wet hair draped over her smooth, jade-like shoulders, and glistening water droplets slid down her chest.

"That little bitch is seducing her dad again."
