Day of Imprisonment

"Your name is Bai Feng. Perfect! I just exceeded my performance targets for thirty consecutive cycle days, so I can be promoted from an ordinary administrator to a 'supervisor' level. I need a few administrators under me. If you're interested, work with me."

A long, long time ago, Luo Xi already had that calm aura, a kind of general's demeanor.

Bai Feng had never seen such a person.

Luo Xi, a wise and frighteningly calm person, was the kind who could see three steps ahead with every step he took, even ten steps ahead. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was an almost omnipotent strongman, possessing an absolute leader's charisma.

It was easy to be convinced by him.

Bai Feng admitted that he was convinced by the other party at the time.

Moreover, he could easily join the 'Company'.

For him, since he no longer wanted to continue living as a Memory Retriever, becoming an employee of the 'Company' was clearly the only option.

Bai Feng had heard of the existence of the 'Company' long ago.

Many veteran Memory Retrievers had mentioned this mysterious and powerful behemoth.

All the 'checkpoint scenarios' were the 'property' of the Company. Some Memory Retrievers even said that the entire Day of Confinement was created by the 'Company'.

But after truly becoming an employee of the Company, Bai Feng realized that working for the 'Company' was essentially no different from being a Memory Retriever.

They were all people imprisoned within the Day of Confinement.

Moreover, within the 'Company', there was also competition, life and death struggles for power, deceit, and scheming.

But unlike when he was a Memory Retriever, in the Company, there was a trustworthy big shot protecting him.

Luo Xi!

He was said to be the fastest-promoted among all current supervisors.

One of the requirements to be promoted to supervisor was to meet the 'business' standards of the checkpoint scenario you were responsible for for thirty consecutive cycle days. Moreover, exceeding the target would give you extra points.

And Luo Xi had just passed thirty cycle days from administrator to supervisor level.

Bai Feng had heard people say that in the Company's past history, no one had been promoted from administrator in such a short time.

It could only be said that Luo Xi was too strong.

That promotion speed was like riding a rocket.

Medium and large checkpoint scenarios could have employees. The recruitment of employees was controlled by the administrator of the corresponding checkpoint scenario, and the Company benefits that employees could obtain were enhancement levels, which could not exceed Elite Rank C at most.

If it was the administrator himself, the highest enhancement level would be Elite Rank B.

The supervisor level was Elite Rank A.

If you were lucky, you could even be promoted to the position of regional director, and you could be directly enhanced to 'Transcendent Rank C'.

However, for Bai Feng at the time, the regional director was a lofty existence. He had never seen one. Usually, he could only see administrators of the same level, subordinate employees, and a few supervisors.

In addition to the 'benefit' of enhanced physique, joining the 'Company' also had other benefits.

The most important point was that you could safely spend the reset of the cycle day in the scenario's administrator room, without having to worry about the threat of amnesia.

This alone could make many Memory Retrievers flock to it.

Luo Xi handed the 'Food Chain Card Room' over to Bai Feng to manage.

Without a doubt, this checkpoint scenario was definitely the cream of the crop in the eyes of administrators, because as long as you used your brain a little, it was almost impossible for this checkpoint scenario to not meet the performance standards. Of course, it would be a little difficult to achieve the excess performance targets like Luo Xi, but at least reaching the 'passing line' would not be a big problem with some effort.

That period of time was the most comfortable and easiest period of time that Bai Feng thought he had ever lived in his life.

He didn't have any great pursuits.

He was already very satisfied to be able to sit in the position of administrator.

He thought that such days could continue forever, but he forgot what Luo Xi had said to him on his first day of work.

"No matter when, human beings cannot stop. When you feel that everything is going smoothly, or even feel comfortable, do not doubt that trouble and danger have already arrived at your door."

These words were a bit like a proverb.

He forgot who said it, but the meaning of the words was described very accurately.

He did encounter trouble.

Bai Feng remembered that it was the twenty-seventh cycle day since he became an administrator.

Because even though he had worked quite hard, even though the mechanism of this scenario was already very perfect, he still couldn't achieve the excess performance targets every day like Luo Xi.

It was already very good that he could meet the business standards. As for exceeding them, he could occasionally encounter it once if he was lucky, but most of the time, he was struggling around the passing line of the business, and he might be deducted points if he relaxed a little.

He waited for a while, and the first Memory Retriever customer came to the door.

The good thing about the card room was that a group of people could play, and one person could also play.

"Welcome to the Food Chain Card Room. This is your first time here, right?"

As an administrator, it was very important to be able to distinguish between new customers and old customers.

Because Luo Xi had taught him that the way you treat first-time customers was different from the way you treat old customers.

The other party was a man wearing a hat, who appeared a little restrained. In Bai Feng's opinion, he was a new face, and the other party's body language also matched that of someone who was here for the first time.

The other party nodded.

"Are you, the administrator of the scenario?" the hat man asked, looking down, then looking up, his body slightly curled up, a typical defensive posture.

After a brief observation, Bai Feng nodded: "Yes, I can introduce the gameplay of this scenario. It's very simple."

He explained the gameplay of the Food Chain cards.

"Actually, it's similar to the normal poker gameplay, so it's easy to get started. So, do you want to try it?" After Bai Feng finished speaking, he continued to observe. He noticed that the other party was a little hesitant, and immediately remembered the technique Luo Xi had taught him.

The latest and most complete novels are available at 6_9_book_.

He immediately said: "Because you are a new customer, you can participate in our card room's activities. Newcomers can try playing the first game without having to pay [Memory], and if you win, you can win [Memory]."

The purpose of various 'activities' was to lure the other party into joining the game.

Once you were on the table, it wouldn't be so easy to get off.

There were many techniques involved, including observing the other party's expressions, body language, and language details, so as to understand the other party's psychology, and then give the most reasonable strategy based on these. For example, new customers didn't understand the situation and gameplay, so there would definitely be concerns. Then, the primary job of a good 'salesman' was to dispel the other party's concerns.

That's right, Luo Xi said that administrators were actually similar to 'salesmen'.

"If you want to be promoted within the Company, you must exceed the performance targets. This is like a salesperson. Our only goal is to sell the product."

"Okay, alright."

Seeing that the hat man agreed, Bai Feng smiled inwardly.

This was considered the first step achieved.

Letting the other party get on the table.

The Food Chain card game could also be played by two people.

So after briefly explaining the specific gameplay, Bai Feng began to shuffle the cards. At this time, the other party said that he also wanted to shuffle the cards.

This was not a problem, but after starting to draw cards and officially play, Bai Feng noticed something was wrong.

His hand was very bad.

Of course, this might have something to do with luck, but in fact, in this kind of card game similar to 'gambling', if you really believed in the so-called 'luck', then you were a real fool.

The so-called ten gambles and nine frauds.

Luo Xi gave Bai Feng a correction to this sentence.

"Ten gambles and ten frauds!"

The so-called fairness and justice all had loopholes. If it was truly 'fair and just', Luo Xi would not add supporting functions such as 'loan cards' and 'mortgages' to the game. These two pitfall businesses were actually a balance, because in the final analysis, the key was still that he would 'cheat'.

It's just that cheating is also divided into clever and not clever.

The not-so-clever ones can be seen at a glance.

The clever ones can't be detected at all.

The key to cheating in the Food Chain card game was to remember the number of all the cards, including the type and number of 'plants', 'herbivores', and 'carnivores'. This way, you could calculate the other party's hand.

In addition, you also needed to practice a shuffling technique.

In other words, you had to perform specific shuffling based on how many players there were at the table to ensure that your side could get a better hand.

This was the key to winning.

This required practice. When Bai Feng had nothing to do, he would grab a handful of cards and practice. The shuffling seemed casual, but in fact, it was a technique that could completely arrange the order of the cards according to his own needs.

Of course, if the other party also wanted to shuffle the cards, the original order would be disrupted.

But in fact, the opponent usually just cut the cards simply, or shuffled them casually. In fact, the order of some of the cards was not disrupted.

As long as you carefully observed and judged, you could roughly determine the opponent's hand, your own hand, and the order of the cards in the deck. In this case, it would be difficult to lose.

To put it bluntly, this was also a matter of 'no other way, only practice makes perfect'.

However, this time, Bai Feng found something was wrong. He lost the first game.

Then the second game, the third game, he also lost.

Lost three games in a row?

"This guy is a problem!"

After Bai Feng realized this, sweat was already pouring out of his head.
