How Am I Still Alive?

"Half a year."

Time is the most ruthless, what should come will come sooner or later.

On the Starship, Lu Pingan ushered in the turning point of his "half-year-old" birthday, but at the same time, he also ushered in the "fate" he had to face.

[Deducting 1000 points of life support costs, the current remaining 2161. 】

After the final big sale, Lu Ping'an worked hard to get his points to a positive number, and worked hard to make a fortune, just for this moment.

That's it, it's settled.

This is the last issue.

[The total number of life points is positive, and the cost of life support has been deducted. 】

It has been half a year, and the -6000 arrears before have also been settled.

In a sense, this is another reason why he has been so "fighting" recently. Only by improving his rank and ability can he earn more life points more conveniently.

In fact, if he has not developed the latest characteristic ability, let alone a positive number, he still can only toss about tens or hundreds, which is not enough at all.

"Hope that's enough"

But then, it's time for calculation.

【Vital signs are being calculated.】

【Calculating the maintenance cost of body, life and soul.】

【Distorting reality.】

【The body of flesh and blood is being reassembled.】

One hint after another makes people feel more and more bad.

From the reminder, Lu Pingan noticed a neglected place.

Before, he maintained 6,000 points for half a year, and the system prompt at that time implied that as his state "deteriorated", his maintenance cost would continue to increase.

But judging from the current reminder, as his "rank" rises, the strength of his body, soul, and life will increase, and the maintenance cost will also increase?

".It's really the same as other professionals' innate abilities. The stronger the noose, the tighter the noose."

Lu Ping'an's scalp is a little numb. Considering that the number of maintenance points may increase, he has already reserved twice the points, and if...

[The maintenance fee for the next six months will be 3000 points per month, if the number is insufficient, you will die. 】

【Insufficient amount immediately, shutting down.】

"Wait, wait, something is wrong! You didn't say that"

Lu Ping'an's astonishment didn't get a response, and he was about to die.

"By the way, you have to fulfill your duty of disclosure! According to basic contract rules and civil law, you should inform me of any payment in advance, at least give me the most basic preparation time for payment."

After remembering the "Herrscher" rules, the courtyard became more "personalized" and more able to "accept commissions".

Immediately, Lu Pingan quickly used the "correct format" to submit his appeal.

[. Appeal accepted, set aside a certain amount of time for preparation, when the time comes, you will automatically shut down, and the countdown starts now, three.]

"Three days?" Lu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, he should be able to think of a way

【thirty minutes.】

"Don't play this old joke!"

This time, Lu Pingan lost his temper after being tossed about, and quickly started to speed up.

At this point in time, in the "Kingdom of God", opening the courtyard is a risky thing, and even if the Kingdom of God is opened, it will take time to find those "leeks" to earn points at this time, maybe half an hour. enough.

".That's it, a rule-level item!"

At this moment, Lu Pingan only thought of a solution.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he began to ask the big cat to help him look through the inventory, preparing to sell "quasi-regular-level" and "regular-level items".

Soon, the first batch was ordered. Previously, Lu Pingan had two "garbage oranges", which were "truth" grades from the Silent Mountains.

After getting those two pieces, they were useless due to their subtle performance, and the warehouse manager and Lu Pingan all forgot about them.

Take it out now, sell it instantly, and use it to exchange for life points

[Current life points: 2998. 】

And precisely this number, Ka's Lu Pingan was taken aback for a moment, neither of the two items were of a very good truth grade, and it was natural to be rated as a quasi-regular grade with a price discount, but it happened to be this number? Just two o'clock?

Although it wasn't the obvious malice of 2999, the hostility in 2998 was too obvious.

Lu Pingan looked up at the sky, and he vaguely noticed something.

"The bird's wishbone is also sold." In an instant, the execution was completed, and the system prompted.

【Current life points are 4000, the conditions have been met, and the deduction will start.】

[Obtain the regular building "Garden of Forgotten", the functions are as follows]

Well, now Lu Ping An understands it thoroughly.

It is one thing for an AI bound by rules to act in accordance with the rules, but can it really be completely restricted? Is AI really just a pure tool, completely selfless and selfless?

As long as it has the instinctive rules of "becoming more complete" and "guaranteeing the needs of the self", it has the instinct of longing for evolution.

Playing with the rules and playing with the opponent within the rules should not be a problem for it.

Now, it has turned around, and finally I can get what I "need".

Perhaps, the "almost" points and the "exactly whole number" points are to express their attitude and desire within the rules.

But at this time, Lu Pingan could only sigh helplessly.

"... I have to find a way to earn points again." Based on his standpoint, this is the only way to deal with it.

What gave him a headache wasn't just the deduction of 1,000 life points again.

But when he returned to Earth, he might only have to earn at least 2,000 points in ten and a half months before he could continue to live.

After all, now that the journey is halfway through, and it’s time for the month-end settlement period, and it takes another two weeks on the ship to arrive on Earth, how much time do you have left for yourself to earn points? two weeks? three weeks? Or unlucky, ten days a week and a half?

"Also, it's best to keep 4,000 points in stock."

At the same time, consumption needs to be considered.

After that, I have to prepare a little bit more. Before I go out, I must have a balance of at least 2,000 points, otherwise I will be stuck on the Shenzhou, and the points will be settled, and the fun will be great.

At that time, if it is still just a little bit close, I am afraid that I will have to sell my treasure again to save my life.

".Collect more garbage at the rule-level and quasi-rule level, and it will be convenient for me to be the analysis object of the "Riser""

Lu Pingan heaved a sigh of relief after solving the big trouble in front of him.

He has vaguely realized that the sudden increase of too much "maintenance gold" is the fault of breaking through the legal level.

The body of a mortal before and the body of a curse-level professional are not the same thing, but now the law-level has increased geometrically. I am afraid this is the source of a lot of consumption.

But at this moment, it is impossible to regret medicine. Lu Pingan estimates that even if he takes advantage of the advantage and settles the points first and then upgrades the law level, Life Bank will not lose money, either adding money on the spot, or forcing you to pay at the next settlement Clear, but prone to mistakes.

Now, no matter what, passing through a crisis that must be faced has made Lu Pingan a lot easier.

But if you think about it, if you really stay in that realm and wait to die, with the previous "life point acquisition efficiency", even if it only rises to 2,000, you will be a dead end.

"Is this a death spiral competition between professional talent and advanced speed?"

What should be, no one can avoid, it's just that it manifests in different forms.

I have obtained more life points acquisition channels, but the consumption has also increased sharply.

[The points have been fully charged, the courtyard has begun to expand, the talent and ability have begun to expand, the effect has increased, the consumption has decreased, the silver body ignores the "malicious cost" below the brass, and the basic characteristics have increased.】

At this moment, Life Bank, which always pays for its money, once again surprised Lu Pingan.
