Chapter 1 After the Quarrel

After a period of wrangling, the programmers failed to convince each other.

In the end, they only reached a consensus on the point that "PHP is fast, powerful, free, and the best language in history."

The four shemales smiled at each other, laughing in harmony and a strange manner, no one knew what they were laughing about.

After laughing, the four Whale Song programmers also reacted and looked at Li Ang.

Within the same group, Hei Se Mu Ma (Black Trojan Horse) had told them a lot about Li Ang.

Having just experienced Mule's journey to the underworld, Hei Se Mu Ma directly touted Li Ang as a first-tier player with "top combat power, agile thinking, and both literary and military skills." Now that they had encountered him, they naturally couldn't miss the opportunity.

"Brother Li, are you here to look at the properties as well?"

The bald handsome guy, Luori Rongjin (Sunset Melting Gold), gracefully adjusted his Mediterranean hairstyle and said gently, "Are you looking to open a shop or invest in real estate?"

"Uh,"

Li Ang thought for a moment, "I do have plans to open a shop."

"What kind of shop are you planning to open, Brother Li?"

The chuunibyou youth, Ge Chan Luo Xing (Ge Chan Luo Star), asked garrulously, "A hotel? A store? A pharmacy? A restaurant? A bathhouse, foot massage, manicure, pedicure, health care, beauty salon?

"Personally, I think the three o'clock position in the square is very suitable for opening a restaurant.

"That place faces south, and the facade faces the entrance and exit of the shopping mall. The daily traffic is the highest in the square. It can be called a treasure land of feng shui and will definitely make a lot of money.

"Even if you only earn a few game coins per meal, accumulating little by little, you can turn things around and ascend to the heavens. I don't know if Brother Li is interested in investing in this project..."

"Save it. Do you have the money to buy the land?"

Luori Rongjin unceremoniously exposed his close friend's shortcomings. "You're always tinkering with weird things, inventing and creating, single-mindedly thinking about making money.

"As a result, your pockets are cleaner than your face."

"What do you mean by weird things? The bed-integrated aircraft is clearly the industrial light of the future, the road to wealth!"

Ge Chan Luo Xing rambled a little frantically, "One day, everyone will take my bed-integrated aircraft to commute to and from work!

"Lying in the quilt, when the alarm rings, you fly out with the entire bed. This is the most orthodox way to travel in the future!"

Seeing that the two companions were about to start arguing again, Hei Se Mu Ma quickly took over the conversation and asked Li Ang, "Never mind them,

"Brother Li, what kind of shop are you planning to open..."

"Um... Providing personalized services?"

Li Ang said uncertainly, "I can use the extraordinary materials provided by customers to manufacture equipment and props.

"I can also perform cosmetic surgery and physical enhancement modifications for customers.

"I also know a thing or two about treating difficult and complicated diseases and regenerating severed limbs."

"Sounds amazing."

Hei Se Mu Ma's eyes lit up. Forging and medical life skills are simply money-making skills in the Killing Game.

Every organization spares no effort to acquire skill scrolls in this area and recruit talents.

'It seems that I have to report to the higher-ups and ask them to allocate more resources to build a good relationship with Li Risheng... This is not a kickback. Personal relationships will always generate some consumption...'

Hei Se Mu Ma made up his mind in his heart, his face remained calm, and he said, "However, the game square prohibits players from interfering with each other.

"If you want to provide medical services, you must first buy a house from the sales office, then spend a lot of money to build and decorate the shop.

"Then you have to spend another sum of money to apply for a business license from the system, and obtain a reusable contract from the system, specifically used to sign contracts with customers who come to purchase medical services,

"To ensure the goodwill nature of medical services.

"It will cost a lot of money from start to finish, and you may not be able to recoup the cost in the end—major organizations are very interested in providing medical services, and there are many capable people with maxed-out life skills.

"There will definitely be a price war at that time."

On this point, Hei Se Mu Ma did not lie to Li Ang.

Whether it's the Special Affairs Bureau, Whale Song, Prometheus Laboratory Company,

Or the British Royal Knights of the Church of England, or the Special Incident Division of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation.

They all sent people to line up to buy houses,

The purpose is to seize the opportunity and establish authority and monopoly.

Even if a lone wolf player has a few unique skills, he may not be able to beat a large organization by fighting alone.

"Um,"

Li Ang calmly nodded, "So I'm here to see the situation first.

"After the major organizations have entered the market, opened shops, and set the standards for medical service prices, I'll decide whether to buy land."

Oh?

Hei Se Mu Ma's heart stirred again when he heard this. If it were an ordinary player, he would have chickened out when he heard that he had to compete with behemoths like Prometheus Company.

Judging from his tone, Li Risheng seems to be very confident in the skills he has mastered, and he is not flustered even if there is a price war....

No, it seems that I still have to improve my relationship with him.

Hei Se Mu Ma had no idea that the Forging Furnace and Biological Motherboard on Li Ang were almost zero-cost things.

The Forging Furnace only needs to invest extraordinary materials and charge the users who come to the door the fees they should have borne, without having to pay a penny himself.

The Biological Motherboard only consumes sanity points, and perhaps a little divine power that will naturally recover over time.

The only thing Li Ang needs to pay for in the whole process is the time cost.

Moreover, this cost can be greatly compensated—players who come to the door to request physical modification are rare experimental white mice.

Some advanced surgeries that cannot be performed on low-intelligence worms now finally have experimental subjects, which can greatly expand the development direction of Li Ang's biological modification.

"The news from the sales office is that it costs at least 8,000 game coins to buy a 40-square-meter piece of land."

Hei Se Mu Ma tentatively said, "And this is only in a mid-to-lower location."

"So expensive?!"

The Ge Chan Luo Xing next to him was startled and shouted, "That's robbery! How long will it take for ordinary players to earn enough? Are they crazy?!"

"It's a bit expensive."

Tie Ding Neng Ying (Iron Ingot Can Win) heavily nodded and slowly said, "It's very, very difficult for a single player to raise such a large sum of money.

"The land sales service in the square is probably not aimed at individual players.

"Several people must pool money, or the organization must use funds to be able to afford it."

"Very expensive? It's okay."

Li Ang looked at them strangely, "Converted into cash, it's only tens of millions. Ordinary players should be able to save it, right?"

"O-Only?"

Ge Chan Luo Xing swallowed. Although the four of them are members of the Whale Song organization, their lives are not that wealthy.

The internal structure of the Whale Song organization is loose, and the hierarchy is not strict. Correspondingly, the connection between members is not close. Everything depends on the organization's contribution value.

The more you contribute, the more organizational support you get.

After most players work hard to earn game coins,

The first reaction is to quickly spend the money to buy equipment and props to enhance their immediate combat power in order to cope with the next script mission.

It is difficult enough to survive, let alone worry about the future.

The four members of the Whale Song organization can at least get some support from the organization.

The more miserable lone wolves located in backward areas even have to work for ordinary people's gangs, do dirty work, and borrow high-interest loans to save money to buy equipment.

(Once, a grumpy old man took out a lot of small loans and turned around to buy equipment. When the small loan company joined forces with active social organizations to come to collect debts violently, this old man shamelessly beat them up and extorted more money. Claiming "I borrowed the money based on my ability, why should I pay it back?" For a time, it was imitated by many players.)

Even game masters who get A+ grades in every game are struggling, let alone ordinary players.

There is no one like Li Ang, who relies entirely on the furnace to forge equipment, and can save a large sum of money.

The four programmers were shocked by the wealth inadvertently displayed by Li Ang. As they spoke, the crowd surged forward, and soon Li Ang saw the sign of the sales office.
