Are you envious?

The woman's complexion was not good-looking due to long-term overwork, and could even be described as haggard, but the care on her face was genuine...

I really envy this kind of family love.

Chapter 514 "Decadent City" Wen Tong, the gambler's dream

"Sister?" Seeing the pink-haired girl like this, Sen Lu stepped forward and patted her little face, while Li Anxin shook her head and came back to her senses.

"Well."

"Sister, how do you feel when you see your counterpart living such a miserable life?" Mori Lu said.

"I can't describe it, it's a very strange feeling." Li Anxin lowered her eyes and said softly.

"Why don't you rob a bank or steal something to help the poor kid?"

"There are no real banks here anymore, stupid little deer," said Li Anxin.

"At least in S1 area, there are only virtual banks on the Internet. Every penny of virtual currency received by the poor is marked. If they suddenly get unexplained wealth, they will be investigated."

"It seems that the prototype of this lighthouse is the harbor area of ​​Mirror City. This is really a bad taste."

Of course, Li Anxin noticed it.

The so-called Senxi Media in this world is no longer just a simple media company. Its presence can be seen everywhere. It is closely related to a person's life, including birth, aging, sickness and death. Its shadow can be found behind the furniture and facilities that can be seen everywhere in life.

Rather than a media company, it is more like a giant economic entity, so large that it covers the entire Lighthouse City. It is like the god of this city, with countless forces converging in it every minute and every second, conducting legal or illegal transactions.

Senxi Media looms over the city like a mountain, its steam wheels rolling forward, creating the golden dreams of the rich, but using the fat of ordinary people as fuel.

Li Anxin felt mixed emotions when he thought that the company he accidentally established in reality would have such a big impact on this virtual world.

In this world where the capital economy is highly developed, how can a media company achieve such a scale?

Seeing that the pink-haired girl was a little depressed, Morika comforted her:

"It's just a virtual copy. Don't take it too seriously, sister. Even if there's no Senxi, there will be some other media company with Linxi, Guixi, etc."

"Is this so..."

Li Anxin shook her head and felt a little calmer.

"Sister, stop being dazed. Now that we have confirmed the location of the isotope, let's go quickly. The hunting game will be unlocked at midnight."

"Wait a minute, little deer. Although I can't afford the money, there is still one thing I can do."

..........

Shortly after the two girls left, the door was slowly pushed open. The woman was talking on the phone to someone, and her eyes suddenly noticed a cake placed at the door with a Happy Birthday sign on it.

"Eh?"

A few hundred meters away in another part of the S1 area, a small gambling house was filled with smoke. People were puffing on cheap industrial synthetic cigarettes, ignoring the serious harm of the ingredients to the body, and immersed in the pleasure that gambling brought them.

Only at this time can gamblers relax their minds and bodies and let their bodies wander away from this depressing city.

On a small table, the blonde girl smiled at the blonde girl who refused to admit defeat, flipping the rough chips in her hands:

"You lost, Xiao Xiaotong, so you should admit defeat. Come here and let me touch your face~"

Looking at the blonde girl in front of her who was speaking in a long tone and seemed a little shy, the blonde girl pursed her lips slightly.

How could she possibly lose to this guy? It was as if he knew her thoughts perfectly. She couldn't even win by cheating!

The other party also claimed to be her future self. When Wen Tong thought that her future self might look like this, she became even more depressed. Finally, she stood up and pointed at the blonde girl in front of her.

"You cheat!"

Wen Xiaotong held her chin with her hands, squinted her eyes, and looked at her counterpart with great interest. Finally, she burst out laughing.

"You didn't cheat. Don't I know myself? When I was a kid, I was competitive and wanted to win no matter what. I didn't want to be inferior to others. I fantasized about being the center of attention, becoming a superior person, and completing a class leap."

Seeing that her innermost thoughts were ruthlessly spoken out by the blonde girl, Wen Tong sighed, and her gray face finally wavered:

“So, did I succeed?”

"I can't tell you. What if it affects your future? What if you suddenly die in a car accident one day? I would be miserable. The butterfly effect is very scary."

"But you are obviously dressed so well. The clothes you wear, the bag around your waist, the Senmarui bag, and the perfume you use are all luxury goods that only rich people can afford. I must live a good life in the future, right? I will get rid of this dirty place and live in a cloud apartment in the city center..."

The blonde girl suddenly became extremely excited. She stepped forward and held Wen Xiaotong's hand, with visions of the future in her eyes.

"No! It's about living in a manor house in California, the real dream place, right!"

Wen Xiaotong just smiled slightly:

"Those who dress extravagantly are not necessarily rich people. They could be hostesses or mistresses kept by wealthy men."

The brief silence was interrupted by the sound of the TV program.

On the TV, the idols on the stage looked like shining stars against the backdrop of thousands of viewers. They were so bright and dazzling in the center of the stage that many young people in the casino cast envious glances at them:

"It's Tiraa, the idol singer who's been super popular recently. She has more than 10 million fans online. She must have achieved a class leap by being an idol. I really envy her..."

"I wish I could have passed the unified entrance exam for Senxi Media."

"Yeah yeah......"

The little blonde girl took a few steps back as if struck by lightning, and she looked a little lost:

"What's the difference between this and those 'artists' in Senxi Media who sold their souls? For money, they sold their souls to those rich people to play with. Their bodies and minds are so dirty and corrupt. My future...can't be like this!"

The blonde girl seemed to be extremely disgusted with the word "artist", which was in stark contrast to the yearning of the people around her.

"I don't want to be like the woman who gave birth to me! You're making me sick now, get out of my sight!"

Seeing the blonde girl's outburst of emotion, Wen Xiaotong was not too surprised, but just responded with a smile:

"So? I didn't say I was a hostess's lover. I just suddenly had a chance to go back to the past."

"But you, at an age when you should be studying, don't study, and play in casinos every day?"

"Tsk, in this city, there are only a few people who can squeeze in every year... I don't want to be like those nerds. I will make my own way, I will definitely stand out, and I will make those who look down on me only look up to me in the future! I will stand at the top of this city, just wait."

"Really? Wait and see. If you really run into trouble, come to me. Of course, I may not be able to help you~"

Wen Xiaotong didn't say much, but silently handed the business card to Wen Tong and said goodbye.

Before leaving, the girl gave a playful smile.

It really looks like me.

She wanted to see it, too.

Will I really become corrupt in this city?

Chapter 515: The Hunt Begins in the "Decadent City"

After leaving Li Xiaoxin's house, the two girls climbed to the top of an unfinished building. From here, they could overlook the entire Hyde Industrial Zone, which is sandwiched between Waste Lane (S1) and Dream Paradise (California). At a glance, the entire Hyde Industrial Zone is full of unfinished buildings and factories. Hundreds of tower cranes are working day and night.

Sometimes, people in the abandoned alley who are a little educated will always compare the entire Hyde Industrial Zone to a "mine". Under those unfinished buildings are ore veins, tower cranes are mining machines, and the people living there are not miners, but pieces of jumping fuel.

No one knows when those buildings and residential areas will be completed. It may be ten years, twenty years, or they may never be completed. Those construction sites receive large grants from the city government every year.

Countless hyenas share these EURs. For them, as long as they order their subordinates to pretend to work every day and tear down the wall built the day before, they can collect this huge sum of money without doing anything. Why not do it?

The only ones who truly hope that these buildings will be built are the home buyers who are still immersed in the golden dream. They have been saddled with a mortgage that they need to pay off for the rest of their lives since they were still young. They work day and night, save money every month, and ask for help from their families, but they can only barely pay back a fraction of the violent tax increase.

One day in the future, when I am old, perhaps the government will stop providing funding, and these buildings will be declared unfinished, and the real estate developers will run away with the money. If I go to the bank to complain, I will be solemnly told that I must pay the mortgage every month without a penny less.

But before that, they could always comfort themselves by imagining themselves standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-rise building, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire city.

Therefore, what the people in Waste Alley look down on the most are the "elite white-collar workers" in Hyde Industrial Zone. So what if they earn a few thousand EUR a month? Do they really think that buying a house in Hyde Industrial Zone will cross the social class? They have to ask their families for a large sum of money every month to pay off the mortgage, but they still have to put on an "elite" face and arrogantly distinguish themselves from the people in Waste Alley.

Rich people like to deal with elite white-collar workers the most. After all, they can't get much money from the real poor.

Li Anxin looked at the city. It clearly looked like a city in need of reconstruction, so why was it so lifeless?

She silently observed Li Xiaoxin through the image transmitted by the stinging bee. The well-behaved little girl was curled up at the moment, lying among a pile of mended dolls, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

If I really lived in this city, what would happen in the end?

She shook her head, threw away the thoughts in her mind, and leaned on the railing. The night wind blew through the girl's hair, and after a moment, it returned to peace in the night.

"It's almost midnight, sis."

When I turned around, I saw the black-haired girl slightly tidying up the hair beside her ears. I don't know when she got a clean and elegant princess cut. Her long hair moved in the wind and fell to her waist.

The girl was wearing a smart vest and short skirt, and a white and black sleeved jacket that showed off her tall and slender figure. The black stockings made her legs look longer. The exquisite patterns on the edge of her socks and the black tie on her chest made her look like she was going to a big ball instead of getting her blood stained.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Li Anxin was slightly stunned and swallowed his saliva subconsciously:

"Fawn, you?"

The black-haired girl in front of him had a pair of red eyes under her neatly cut princess bangs, which looked particularly enchanting in the dark night, and the curve at the corner of her mouth seemed extremely sinister and playful.

Mori Lu was no longer as nervous as usual, and made a gesture of silence in an intelligent and elegant manner:

"Sister, you have to change your style occasionally so as not to look monotonous."

"You've been staring at me for so long, is it really that good-looking, sister?"

Li Anxin finally came back to her senses, blushed slightly, snorted, and turned her head away.

"It's just like that, it's just so-so, it still looks better as before."

"is it?"

Damn it, Xiaolu suddenly attacked her XP system with her whole hand, and she almost couldn't hold it back.

It was hard for her to imagine that the black-haired girl in front of her who looked like a rich family's daughter and the frizzy-haired, unkempt guy were the same person.

I have to admit that although Xiaolu did not inherit Senmiao's IQ, in terms of appearance, he is still very capable.

After the time reaches zero, the system prompt sound sounds in front of each player.

|When the time reaches 0:00, the game world time will move forward one year. |

The space around me quickly became distorted, everything was changing rapidly, the sun was rising and setting, people were coming and going, buildings were collapsing and being rebuilt, and the marks on the walls of the unfinished buildings continued to climb and spread...

In a blink of an eye, time came to one year later in the game.

The two girls were not surprised by this miraculous change. They were not surprised by anything that happened in the copy world.

|Main Line 2: The hunting game has been unlocked. Each player will lock on to a hunting target in the next 24 hours. The system will give both parties' location information every three hours. Eliminating the hunting target will earn points. Points can be used to exchange for props. The coordinates of the top three players in the points ranking will be made public to all players. |

Another person's information popped up in front of all players at the same time. This was the target they needed to hunt within the next 24 hours.

The player on Li Anxin's side is an unknown A-level player and poses no threat. But the one on Senlu's side is more interesting. It is an S-level player named Marcus. This player does not have outstanding abilities, but he is the number one follower of Thousand Faces Ghost Smile, the kind of fanatic who wants to follow him every day.

"If it's this guy, maybe he knows the current whereabouts of Thousand Faces Ghost Smile." Li Anxin pondered.

"So, what to do, sister? Find him and interrogate him?"

"If it was Thousand Faces Ghost Smile, he would have guessed that we would unite to target him in this game. So Marcus, as his lackey, would have informed Thousand Faces Ghost Smile and ambush us in three hours, or would have taken the initiative to cause trouble for us."

Li Anxin thought quickly in her mind.

And Senlu frowned slightly,

Although she is not afraid of the Thousand Faces Demon after unlocking the Seven Deadly Sins, as a veteran top S-level player, she will definitely have a fierce battle with him, and things will become troublesome then.

"So, we have to eliminate Marcus before the positions of both teams are determined in the first three hours." Li Anxin suddenly said.

"I've learned about the habits of all the top 100 players on the list. Marcus is a gambler who often frequents gambling halls and is keen on watching boxing matches. Coincidentally, there is the most famous and notorious gambling hall in the center of Waste Alley, and there is a boxing gym nearby."

"It's only been four hours since the dungeon started. He must still be enjoying the thrill of gambling."

It was not difficult for Li Anxin to deduce these things, but she always had a bad feeling. This feeling came from the hunting game itself. Could it be that there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for them behind this game?

Chapter 516 "Decadent City" Deer and Gambling

Is it really just my illusion?

The black-haired girl next to him began to urge him, and Li Anxin shook her head and shook off the thought in her mind.

Soon the two girls arrived at the gambling hall in the center of the abandoned alley. Inside the magnificent gambling hall, people placed their life hopes on chips. Such luxurious decoration seemed out of place with the entire abandoned alley.

In this city, people often believe that there are two ways to achieve "class crossing". One is to become a popular artist and be known to the public, and the other is to gamble. For example, there is an example of a casino called Tyche where people can become multi-millionaires overnight as long as they have enough courage.

But is this really the case? Does class separation really exist in this city?
