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

A conventional profession, though it doesn't grant access to extraordinary powers.

But it basically means making the most of your existing profession.

For example, the Gunner class upgraded to level 10.

This is equivalent to giving Jiang Lin a sharpshooter passive ability.

While reaching level 10 as a mathematician won't turn him into a world-renowned mathematician, it will greatly enhance his mathematical logical thinking.

Not to mention boxers and wrestlers, they can easily win provincial competitions, and with similar physical abilities, they can at least get a chance to compete in national competitions.

Thinking about it this way, what if I learned all the conventional professions?

Wouldn't he himself become an omnipotent person?

In the ordinary world, one could easily make a name for oneself.

pity.

This is a game world where you have to pay to win.

Conventional professions are merely stepping stones for them to access extraordinary powers.

Jiang Lin's life expectancy is now over 40,000 years.

It has already consumed more than 5000 years of its lifespan.

He's no longer in a hurry to turn on the 5,000-year lifespan wheel.

He planned to wait and then test the waters with the ten-thousand-year lifespan wheel.

It has been seven or eight hours since he logged into the game.

go to bed?

rest?

No, no!

No need.

Back in the day, he could stay up all night playing online games as soon as they launched.

Now, there's this pay-to-win online game, a game that's closely related to one's life and fortune, and can even improve one's physical fitness.

Let alone staying up all night.

I could stay up for three days and three nights without any problem!

But I am indeed a little hungry.

Jiang Lin planned to log off and have a meal.

By the way, let's see what Liang Zhong meant by the current chaos outside.

Scared?

Are you kidding me!

24000 health points!

240 times the physical fitness of an average person!

You can't knock down a mountain with one punch, but you can blow up several concrete walls with your bare hands.

It's already a good thing that he doesn't cause trouble for others!

Log off!

The familiar ceiling.

Jiang Lin lay here for almost a month.

He walked out of the room.

I thought hospitals were always overcrowded.

Even in the corridors, there were hospital beds with patients lying down.

But now it's unusually quiet.

Most people logged into the pay-to-win game.

"Holy crap, if that's the case, are there still people at the restaurant near the entrance?"

Someone like him, an unemployed bum.

Going off to play games has absolutely no impact on society.

But if those important basic positions are left unattended, things could really get chaotic.

He walked out of the hospital.

The streets were also deserted.

It's like the end of the world.

Jiang Lin's vision is still too narrow.

What he perceived as chaos was an individual gaining extraordinary power.

Then they return to modern society and commit evil deeds.

In reality, everyone is going to spend their lives playing the game to increase their power and pursue the chance to live forever.

If places like nuclear power plants were all included in the game, it would cause huge chaos.

However, this kind of problem is not something he needs to worry about.

Why did he sell things to Liang Zhong at a low price?

The hope is for social stability so that even after he logs off, he can still experience a peaceful and stable daily life.

I walked to the entrance of a small shop.

It was actually running.

Inside, there was a young man holding his phone, scrolling through various short videos about pay-to-win games.

"Huh? You haven't logged into the game?"

Jiang Lin found it strange.

The young man rolled his eyes at Jiang Lin.

"The 'Life-or-Death Game' is an 18+ game, I'm not old enough to play it."

I remembered.

When the game "Life-Saving Game" was introduced, it was mentioned that it would automatically deduct all lifespan value from all adult individuals.

It turns out that thing wasn't a global internet connection fee.

It's a personal internet fee.

While deducting your lifespan, you'll gain access to the game.

If this happens, will child labor be used for basic jobs in the future?

Not necessarily, given how rapidly AI robots have developed in the last two years.

Now that we can make contact with other civilizations, if we can survive the invasion channel in 7 days, it won't be long before those basic jobs are replaced by robots.

War has always been a catalyst for technological breakthroughs.

Moreover, this is a life-or-death battle for the entire civilization.

Jiang Lin didn't just buy any kind of cushion from the convenience store.

Instead, he logged into a pay-to-win online game.

I was confined to a hospital bed and ate only liquid food for a month!

He really wants to eat something chewy right now!

What is the ultimate goal of improving strength?

Defend our planet?

Protect all of humanity?

These can also be considered a goal.

but!

Jiang Lin had a rather petty mindset; his initial desire was simply to make his life more enjoyable.

Only when you have spare energy can you think about things on a more macro level.

He is now burdened with a huge sum of 4 yuan.

Why not treat yourself to a nice meal?

We returned to Wuchang Street once again.

Why choose this place?

After finishing the meal, I went straight to Boss Bai Zhen's place, got all the beginner-level jobs, and continued grinding.

We arrived at Wuchang Street once again.

It's still the same door, separating two worlds.

Jiang Lin thought about how most of the inhabitants of this Free City were homeless, and his attitude towards them changed.

"Candied hawthorn skewers, candied hawthorn skewers~ Two skewers per hour~~"

They were also street vendors selling candied hawthorns.

This one is quite different.

Based on Jiang Lin's gaming experience.

This thing should be considered a necromancer-type creature.

His candied hawthorns weren't carried on a bamboo pole, but rather by a summoned skeleton soldier covered in candied hawthorns.

Ok.

It has a distinctly otherworldly feel.

The person selling takoyaki next to them is an octopus-like figure resembling Cthulhu.

Not as clean as Squidward.

The whiskers on its chin were all wriggling octopus tentacles.

Jiang Lin stood to the side and watched as he cut off his own beard with a knife. These still-twitching little tentacles became fresh ingredients.

"Hey bro, wanna order some takoyaki? I've been eating a lot of tomatoes lately, all tomato-flavored ones~ It's only an hour's worth of coins."

"Okay, I'll have one to try."

Jiang Lin is the kind of person who is very willing to try new things.

Although the way this boss makes takoyaki is a bit sanity-draining.

But I want to give it a try.

"Okay, here you go. Come back anytime if you like it!"

"Okay, okay."

That's what Jiang Lin said.

But he probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

It's not that it doesn't taste good.

Instead, the benefit is multiplied by 100.

While holding a bowl of takoyaki in my hand, there were already 99 servings of takoyaki in my backpack.

Depend on.

This thing counts as profit, right?

Does that mean that if you go to a restaurant for one meal, you'll have several meals in your backpack?

The kind that doesn't come with a container...

Jiang Lin now realized that his disk system seemed a bit... weird.

Jiang Lin's initial expectation was simply to multiply his monster-killing rewards by 100.

He thought he was being clever by forbidding money from transferring funds between his own pocket and borrowing money, things that were never even in Jiang Lin's considerations.

Then, by taking a slightly roundabout approach, first buying x100 units of profit and then selling them, one can achieve another 100-fold return.

If this ability appeared in a resource-scarce apocalypse, I wonder how awesome it would be.

Of course, Jiang Lin is quite happy right now.

Eat while walking.

We arrived at Bai Zhen's shop.

This bully dog ​​is still lying on the deck chair by the door, leisurely smoking.

The weather on Wuchang Street is always eerily gloomy, regardless of whether it's day or night outside.

It looks like a real ghost market.

"Hey, Brother Jiang, you're back so soon?"
