Chapter 194 Ninth Street, the battle for wealth
On the bus.
When the driver saw Su Ming coming up with a suitcase and a schoolbag, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Su Ming: "Ninth Street."
Unlike buses, buses require you to get on the bus first and then pay, so you don’t need to buy tickets in advance.
Driver: "Ten dollars, put it in yourself."
Su Ming casually took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and threw it into the coin box: "I didn't bring any change, so there's no need to change it."
The driver didn't even look up: "You can't even look for it, we don't have any change business."
The driver had no feeling at all about Su Minghao's operation of throwing hundreds of dollars.
Anyway, the bus is not his. Even if the passengers put more money into it, it will not fall into his hands in the end.
The coin box is sealed very firmly. One of its purposes is to prevent drivers like them from stealing.
Su Ming found a place to sit down casually.
Many of the passengers in this car were like him, carrying large and small bags.
It looks bulging, and most of it contains money.
Only cash can be used for transactions in Gray City. For large transactions, you can only choose this primitive carrying method.
Su Ming knew that many of these people were going to Ninth Street.
There are a total of nine main streets in Gray City. Each street has a different decoration style. The structure of the shops is also very different, and they also have their own unique gameplay. For example, on the third street where he was originally located, the street administrator is a headshot ghost. Lao Zhou, so you must be careful when going out at night, otherwise you will get shot in the head.
This kind of feature is completely harmful to the ghost who gets a headshot. Even if he is lucky enough not to get a headshot, there will be no benefit. The risks and benefits are completely disproportionate.
There is no problem if there are risks, but you have to provide equivalent benefits so that people will participate, otherwise no normal people will play.
Therefore, since Old Zhou, the headshot ghost, became the third street administrator, there are basically no ghosts on the streets at night.
No one with a brain would not be able to figure it out and rush over to get shot in the head.
Only those unexplained walking corpses would come to Third Street at night and be cut off by the headshot ghost Lao Zhou as a leek.
Compared with Third Street, the gameplay of Ninth Street is much more interesting.
After Su Ming sat down, the bus started to set off. Between streets and streets, there were very desolate roads connecting each other. It only drove past occasionally and could not see any living people or moving ghosts, but occasionally it could be seen. The strange ghost corpses lying on the roadside, not only the players, but also the ghosts cannot walk between the streets on foot.
The bus passes by the bus stops on other streets. Some ghosts on the bus get off, and some ghosts waiting in front of the bus stop come up.
Although they look human-like, they look very much like humans.
But once night comes, the true colors are revealed.
Just as Su Ming could see that these people were ghosts, those ghosts could also see that Su Ming was a living person.
They looked at Su Ming's clothes and the suitcase in his hand, and many ghosts showed deep greed in their eyes.
There is no living person here, this is simply a mobile vault!
They wanted to snatch everything from Su Ming, but they could only endure it.
Finally, the bus arrived at Ninth Street.
Stopped in front of the bus stop.
Ninth Street is an abandoned street, quite desolate, with no one moving around.
At the entrance to the abandoned street, half of the gate with iron bars was standing, and the other half had fallen to the ground.
On the street, the parked cars have been severely deformed and their tires are flat. They can be declared scrapped and sent directly to the scrap collection station.
On both sides of the street, there are many tall and short buildings, the tall ones are six or seven storeys, and the short ones are just bungalows, which looks extremely chaotic.
Most of the glass in the building has been broken, and there are still vines in many places, with ivy climbing on the upper floors.
There are even a few trees growing on several buildings, adding a touch of green to the abandoned buildings.
The only building that is not abandoned is in front of the iron gate.
Right next to the intersection platform, there is a tin house. There is a big sign hanging on the house with the words "Wealth Recharge Point" written in big characters.
At the same time, the Tin House also handles newspaper and retail business, and is also a newsstand and retail kiosk.
The shelves are filled with various magazines and newspapers, such as: "Grey City", "Stories", "Ghost Stories", "Voice"...
There are also various drinks and snacks, such as: mineral water, iced black tea, Laotan pickled cabbage bucket noodles, instant noodles with ham sausage, etc.
In the small tin house, there sat a bald man with a fierce face and a sinister face.
The combination of the two seems a bit out of place.
The driver said coldly: "We've arrived at Ninth Street. If you should get off the bus, get off quickly."
Su Ming picked up his suitcase and got off the bus.
Coming down with him were a dozen people in different costumes.
There are white-collar workers in suits, workers in uniforms, and doctors in white coats...
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
These people were all like Su Ming, either carrying bags or carrying suitcases.
They all came with a lot of money.
The most exaggerated one was the doctor in the white coat. He was carrying two oversized suitcases, which were more than twice as big as Su Ming's suitcases.
And he was also carrying an oversized travel bag, which was very full.
Su Ming made an estimate.
If it were all hundred-dollar bills, this doctor in a white coat had brought over five million.
Is it so profitable to be a doctor in Gray City?
The bus left and the group walked towards the [Wealth Recharge Point].
The strong man said: "Everyone must understand the rules, but I still have to say them again."
"The registration fee for the Wealth Competition is 500,000 yuan. After successful registration, you can become a Wealth Member."
"Members participate in the battle for wealth for the second time, and the registration fee is 40% off, and the registration fee is reduced to 300,000."
"In addition to the registration fee, for every additional 10,000 yuan you recharge, you can get a little wealth."
"After dark, the Ninth Street will randomly refresh wealth points. The more wealth points, the greater the risk of obtaining them."
"Kill other participants in the Wealth Competition to get half of the Wealth Points on the other party's account."
"Wealth points can be used to redeem various prizes. In addition, the top three with the most wealth points in a single round of competition will also receive additional rewards."
"Any more questions?"
No one asked.
The bald man introduced the rules fairly calmly.
But everyone who has participated knows that the other party's temper is not very good.
Moreover, this bald man also has certain authority to interfere in the battle for wealth.
If you provoke the other party and do anything, the probability of death of the targeted ghost will be greatly increased
The bald man nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! In that case, come up and pay!"
"Oh, let me emphasize it at the end."
"The organizer of this battle for wealth is Mr. Cai Gui of the Cai Gui family!"
"That's a real big shot, someone who is expected to become the Lord of Gray City."
"If you perform well and can catch the eye of the wealthy man, you might have the opportunity to do something for him!"
