Chapter 125 Debt Crisis

Chapter 125 Debt Crisis
Professor Qi stood in the middle of the classroom and announced.

"The first teaching aid experiment has ended."

"Our winning team is Group 7."

Let's give them a round of applause.

The students all looked on with admiration, and cheers rose and fell.

"Who's that sniper? He's so sneaky!"

"The most cunning one is the one who plays with the old lady, okay?"

"Those are all conventional ways of dying. Is there anyone else like me who was shot down by a motorcycle slingshot?"

"I... but I'm that motorcycle."

When the class ended, none of the students seemed inclined to leave.

Everyone sat in their seats, holding communicators in their hands, their eyes resolute as if they were about to attack an alien planet.

Professor Qi hovered his hand over the elevator button, looking at all the students with a puzzled expression.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Don't you have classes later?"

"This is the last class of the day. We want to stay and continue our swim—learning."

"Yes! We want to learn more, we didn't get enough of what we were learning just now!"

Professor Qi smiled with satisfaction.

"You students are very enthusiastic about learning, so please continue your studies."

"Afterwards, I will distribute an anonymous questionnaire inside the teaching aids, which is about race."

"This questionnaire will be distributed multiple times from time to time. Please fill it out truthfully, as it relates to our latest research project."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

"I'm leaving now, so as not to disturb everyone's study session."

Professor Qi pressed the button and silently lowered the tower.

No one in the classroom intended to leave; everyone went back into the game.

Li Ji checked the public accounts and went through the previous game.

An additional 14520 Alliance Coins have been added to my account.

"This is such a huge profit! Is everyone here so capable?"

Am I the only one who's poor?

Shouts echoed from afar.

"Damn it! I didn't get the Poppy Alien again."

"Could you lend me some more?"

"I've already taken out a 5% loan, and another one would cost 7%. Dad! Take the loan! Poppy Starman activated!"

Li Ji scratched his head helplessly.

"We need to be wary of internet gaming addiction."

"If people find out I'm the creator, won't I get sprayed to death with salt water?"

"Li Ji, why are you so slow, meow! Hurry up and start another round, meow!"

"I'm coming."

Li Ji opened the game and found that there were 116 people in this round.

"Wait a minute! There are only 115 people in our major, aren't there?"

Who is this extra one?

"Oh my god, did Professor Qi sneak into the room?"

a few days later.

Li Ji was maintaining game updates in front of the control panel.

Suddenly, an unknown number rang on the panel.

After the connection was established, the screen displayed an orange robotic jelly-like figure.

The robot emitted a weak, electronic sound, which had a strong classroom vibe.

"Hello, it's my pleasure to collect a debt from you. I am e-debt collector α413254 from the government bank of Barbaradu Star."

"Your maternity compensation debt has reached its annual interest rate hike date. If you do not repay it by today, a late payment fee of 10% will be added again."

Li Ji raised his tentacle to interrupt.

"Wait a minute. Shouldn't I pay back the money from my home planet after I graduate from university?"

The robot explained impatiently, "Those are student loans and living allowance loans. I'm talking about maternity compensation debt, do you even understand? You idiot!"

"Why do you have such a foul mouth, you piece of junk robot?"

"Of course I have a foul mouth because I drink engine oil! I was just kidding, you wouldn't believe me, would you? I'm just a digital person, I don't have a physical body." "I'm happy to inform you that your maternity compensation debt has accumulated to 14365.746 Alliance Coins. If you don't pay on time, interest will accrue on interest, adding another 10%."

Li Ji yelled, "Interest compounding? You're even worse than loan sharks! And what exactly is this 'maternity compensation'? I haven't even given birth!"

“The birth compensation is the cost the government incurred in raising you at birth. It accumulates from the time you are born, and you have to repay the government for this part of the expenditure.”

Li Ji wished he could use his eight tentacles to shove his own brains out.

"Is there no justice left? It's not like I asked you to give birth to me!"

"I have to pay for this too?"

"Don't yell at me. I'm just a worker too, and I didn't choose where I was born. But I'm a little better off than you, I have no debt, hehe."

Li Ji saw a smile on the other person's mechanical beak.

He checked and found that the debt was indeed part of his total debt.

Because it accounts for a small percentage, I hadn't paid attention to it before.

I never expected that there would be late fees accruing interest every year.

But he can't afford it right now.

Although Battle Royale recently earned over 400,000, the money is still in the company's accounts.

It's not yet the payday I agreed with Delulu.

If you rashly transfer the money out, the police will arrive at your door within five seconds.

I'll have to discuss it with Delulu later.

"You don't have money, right? That's okay. Not many people have money."

"This phone call is meaningless except for increasing my computing power and your despair about life."

"If you ask me, we should just do it all at once. Harvest the brains of all Barbaradus at birth to save us from leaving behind a mess."

"This is the life of the Barbaradus. They start in debt from birth, then can't pay it back, and finally sell their brains to the main network."

"It goes on and on, endlessly."

"You can't escape this cycle."

In the image, the robot's three mechanical eyes are slightly narrowed, exuding a strong sense of world-weariness.

Li Ji looked at him with a slight chill: "Are you an AI or a real person? Why do you seem to harbor such deep resentment?"

"I'm connected to the main network's computing power, which contains hundreds of millions of brains. Maybe it's because everyone's resentment infected me."

"Holy crap, a cyber-spirit fusion beast! Wait a minute, I'll gather the money and come over in a bit."

"127138."

The robot suddenly uttered a strange number.

"What did you say? What does that number mean?"

"I'm just making a record. You're the 127138th person to say this this year, but most people can't even scrape together the money. The 123124 people before me committed suicide after hanging up. They've left behind a mountain of unresolved debts."

Li Ji gasped.

"Don't worry, I won't."

"67788. You are the 66788th person to say this. Data shows that the suicide rate of people who say this is 46.87% higher than that of people who don't."

"I really don't know how."

"12832--"

Li Ji rudely interrupted, "Stop! Stop counting, I'm hanging up!"

"4325--"

"Drip-"

Li Ji quickly hung up the phone.

Debt collectors are like a mirror reflecting the future; if you can't pay your debts, you'll end up like that.

No, it's about becoming a part of it.

He quickly dialed Dailulu's number.

In the scene, Delulu is lying in a white cabin, with her neck and above exposed.

It was unusual that she wasn't wearing a wig.

"Li Ji Miao? Why are you calling me so early? It's not time to leave yet, meow. I haven't finished getting my hair done, meow."
