A game where you have to pay to win? But I have a lifespan roulette wheel!

A flat, emotionless exclamation rang out.

It sounds like AI voice.

The object, which looked like an orange but had a blood-red peel, rolled to Jiang Lin's feet.

Two meters away, there was a woman wearing a maid's uniform, with a pretty face, tattoos that looked like black lines on her face, and two antennas on her head.

The paper bag in her hand was already torn.

The blood orange fell out of that paper bag.

of course.

These are not the main points.

The focus is on this woman's chest.

The nameplate on top.

Black Cat Agency

That was exactly where he was going.

Jiang Lin picked up the blood orange from the ground and handed it over.

"Thanks"

It was still an AI voice devoid of emotion.

"You're welcome. Could you take me to the Black Cat Agency? I need to find Xuanmo to settle a debt."

"Come with me."

It seems like the antenna girl.

Not only is his voice devoid of emotion, but his entire demeanor is clean-cut and efficient.

Jiang Lin followed her, turning left and right.

We arrived at a traditional-style building.

The antenna girl pushed open the door.

"Boss, someone's looking for you."

Inside the house.

Xuanmo propped his head up with one hand, half-lying on the sofa.

With his other hand, he was taking small fish-shaped biscuits out of the tin can in front of him.

The television in front of him was playing a cat movie.

Real cat photos.

Hearing what the antenna girl said.

Xuanmo turned his head and saw Jiang Lin behind the antenna girl.

"Oh, it's Brother Jiang! I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Are you looking to borrow money again?"

"No, I'm here to repay the loan."

"Unfortunately, this is the first time a newbie has taken out a loan... Pfft, cough cough cough, what did you say? You're going to repay the loan?"

Xuanmo's pupils visibly enlarged and rounded.

"Hey buddy, you're kidding, it hasn't been that long."

Jiang Lin took out a yearly coin and a few monthly coins.

Xuanmo's words came to an abrupt end.

"Young man, have you gotten involved in organ trafficking? Take my advice, Mr. Jiang, I still have three days left to repay my loan. There's no rush. Don't get involved with anything dirty!"

Jiang Lin: "..."

Does Xuanmo, that unscrupulous merchant, actually have any conscience?

"Boss, couldn't I have taken my family heirloom to the real world to exchange for gold, and then come in to redeem it?"

"Gold? Oh, oh, meteorite debris, then that's not surprising."

Xuanmo accepted the pile of life-life coins.

It's fine as long as it's not a life loan.

He was still hoping Jiang Lin would buy more intelligence.

"Hahaha, Pinkie Pie, see!! I told you my investment wouldn't be wrong!"

Having obtained the Life Coin, Xuanmo shouted triumphantly to the antenna girl.

Biqi looked at Xuanmo with eyes devoid of any emotion.

He spoke coldly: "You've failed 13 times already."

"Tch! You machine race really have no sense of humor!"

"The Machine Race?"

Jiang Lin hasn't left yet.

"What's so strange about that? Every now and then, this game brings in a new civilization. You don't actually think that all civilizations are human, do you? Although there are many civilizations that look like humans."

Xuan Mo rolled his eyes at Jiang Lin.

"I'm not that arrogant, I'm just a little curious, why would a game that relies on life-or-death tactics bring in so many civilizations? Is it just for playing the game?"

Jiang Lin naturally picked up the conversation.

This is a good opportunity to extract some information from Xuanmo.

For example, what about the intrusion channel seven days later?

Xuanmo's fingernails made a slapping sound on the sofa.

"The following chat content is a paid service."

Jiang Lin nodded understandingly.

Take out a year coin.

Xuanmo's eyes lit up.

Jiang Lin took back the annual currency and exchanged it for monthly currency.

Xuanmo's eyes darkened at first, but he kept his eyes fixed on the lifespan coin.

Jiang Lin took back the lunar currency and exchanged it for Japanese yen.

Xuanmo's eyelids twitched.

They took back the Japanese yen and exchanged it for hourly currency.

"Let's chat for five minutes first."

"You little brat, you're messing with me, aren't you!!!!"

"Oh dear, Boss Xuanmo, what are you saying? I still have a contract with you, and I need to buy more information about the Mechanical Summoner from you. I'm so poor, I sold all my possessions and only have this little bit of money."

"As expected, all races that appear human are big liars."

"I won't allow you, as the world's number one unscrupulous businessman, to look down on yourself like this!"

"I'm just looking down on myself!"

Xuanmo is so tired.

really!

Humans are just too annoying.

Nobody is cuter than a cat.

Xuanmo sighed and accepted the hour coin in front of him.

"Never mind, you'll find out about this sooner or later anyway. You can think of it as a selection process for civilizations. As for why there's a selection process, that's beyond my level of knowledge."

"And what about that intrusion passage?"

Xuanmo shrugged.

Jiang Lin took out an hour coin and placed it on Xuanmo's claw.

Xuanmo's eyes crinkled into crescents.

"As I said, it's a selection mechanism. If it's just about pulling people into a life-or-death game, the pressure on a civilization isn't enough. Only when there's enough external pressure will everyone try their best to improve their strength."

"I'm asking about the specifics of the intrusion channel."

Xuanmo shrugged.

"This is the same question as before; your answer was too vague!"

"Tsk!" The black cat rubbed its hands together, somewhat dissatisfied, but still explained, "It means letting people from other civilizations come and invade you. If you can defeat them, you can protect your own civilization. If you can't, you will become homeless wanderers like me."

"Same as you?"

Jiang Lin looked at Xuan Mo.

A wanderer?

Xuanmo seems to be doing quite well, doesn't he?

Xuanmo, who is usually quite fun, seemed a little downcast when this topic came up.

"Losing your home means being forever trapped in this pay-to-win game world, unable to log off."

Xuanmo continued.

"By the way, the intrusion channels will be opened one after another. At that time, wanderers like me may also participate, because only in this way can they obtain an anchor point to connect with reality, and only then will they have a chance to reclaim their homeland."

Jiang Lin took out another hour coin.

"You just mentioned an anchor point to reality. Isn't this life-or-death game a kind of reality?"

In Jiang Lin's mind, this place was no different from reality.

Xuanmo did not accept the hour coin.

They pushed it back.

He looked intently at Jiang Lin.

She said in a low voice, "A home is reality."

"..."

Sorry.

Jiang Lin really can't empathize with him.

He was wearing it.

According to Xuanmo, he had no home for a long time.

Besides!

Jiang Lin's motto has always been: Home is wherever I am!

Of course, these words will not be spoken aloud.

Xuanmo seems to value these things quite a bit.

"By the way, let's talk about the Mechanical Summoner, Boss Xuanmo. How many job advancement scrolls do you have left?"

We'll source our goods from here first.

Then I went to Liang Zhong to deliver the goods. Hehehe, even with 200 times the physical strength, he's still too weak.

If you can't split a mountain with one punch, you're embarrassed to say you're wearing a suit.
