Urban Sims

The city is very large, over thousands of square kilometers, and is surrounded by tall walls.

There is also a canopy system over the city, but it is not closed and can be entered and exited at will. The purpose of this canopy is to regulate the environment and improve the comfort of urban life.

There are thousands of buildings in the city. The general style is tall and majestic, with geometric symmetry, and the appearance is carefully crafted and full of artistic beauty.

In addition, most of the building surfaces are painted in light gold, which is gorgeous and simple; the materials are mostly marble, and the shapes are antique. You can see the shadows of ancient religious temples, castles, palaces and other buildings everywhere.

If it weren’t for the many aircraft flying over the city, the elevated magnetic tracks on the ground with many hovercars flying on them, and the three-dimensional video projections playing above some large buildings... you might think that this is a Ancient city.

On the top of a spire-shaped building more than 100 meters high in front, stands a 30-meter-high white statue. The statue is slender and has the face of a young girl. She raised her head and showed compassion, put her hands flat on her chest, and made a love heart with her fingers. The shape, back, stretches out a pair of white wings, releasing holy light.

Angel Hospital!

arrive.

After getting off the plane, there were people standing on the landing platform, waiting to greet him. They first arranged Zhou Ming into a high-end ward with a good view, and took the initiative to introduce some situations. The next day, he began to receive life-extending treatment.

The treatment he received for 10,000 yuan of medical expenses was countless times higher than the treatment he received for 1 yuan. The entire hospital treated him with great respect and friendly attitude.

The nurses often showed sincere smiles in front of him.

This illustrates at least two problems:

1. The 90,000 yuan left in Zhou Ming's pocket is not a minority even in the upper-class area.

Second, the doctors and nurses in the hospital should not be particularly wealthy, and may not even be as wealthy as Zhou Ming.

After all, it is impossible for a millionaire to smile so sincerely while serving a middle-class man with a hundred thousand.

"Mr. Zhao, you are only 63 years old. If you are in Area 52, you can live for another seventy or eighty years. Why do you have to come so early? You should know that whether it is Area 52 or an upper-level area, after you come up, besides You only have one chance to extend your life by being promoted to medical."

During the life-extension medical treatment, Dr. He, who was in charge of treating him, asked puzzledly that although Mr. Zhao could live for 150 years after the promotion medical treatment, he would not be given any more years of life that he could originally live. If you make up for it, it will be like throwing away those decades.

Therefore, Dr. He couldn't understand that he could throw away something as precious as time for decades.

"I've had enough of staying in Area 52. I want to come to the upper area and live a more meaningful life."

Zhou Ming said lightly, holding a mirror in his hand. When he saw in the mirror, he had a well-proportioned figure, smooth and tight skin, a shaved face, and an extraordinary appearance. He seemed to be only eighteen years old, and he had to sigh sincerely:

It has only been a week, but the life extension treatment has achieved such a miraculous effect, and there is no pain at all during the treatment. Every day, I can extend my life comfortably, enjoy it, and regain my youth.

The medical level in the upper area is indeed far higher than that in Area 52.

Regarding Zhou Ming's mentality, Dr. He shook his head helplessly and whispered: "When you run out of time, you will know how precious it is, and you will feel extremely regretful for the time you wasted before."

…

During the treatment process, Zhou Ming also learned a lot about the upper area from the two nurses who took care of him.

Two nurses, one named Ai Li, is very tall. Her appearance can be rated 95 points, and her temperament can be rated 80 points. She looks like a mature young woman in her thirties, but her actual age is 108 years old. She can be Zhou Ming's wife. grandmother.

Another nurse is named Lana. She is half a head shorter than Aili. Her appearance and temperament are both in the 70s. She looks like she is in her forties and looks like an aunt. Her actual age is 96, which is younger than Aili. She is five years old. With two children and a dozen grandchildren, the burden was heavy, so the family conditions were poor. She asked Zhou Ming several times to lend him some money.

So Zhou Ming asked Lanna, how much is her monthly salary? She replied 350 money.

This is quite a lot. If this was in Area 52, it would definitely be considered a high-income group.

But the expenses are also high, and prices in upper-class areas are also high. No matter what you buy, you have to pay with money, and there is no such thing as credit points. 350 money per month is not enough for a big family.

Lana explained with a wry smile.

In the upper class area, only money circulates?

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, then thought that this was normal. A ticket to enter the upper-class area cost one hundred thousand dollars. With such a large amount of money coming in, purchasing power would definitely decrease and prices would skyrocket.

So, in order to get more useful information from nurse Lana, Zhou Ming expressed his intention to lend her some money. Lana's eyes lit up and she knew everything.

"Lanna, what is the approximate population of Paradise Island? When I flew over, I didn't see any villages or towns except for forests. There shouldn't be many people on the island, right?"

"It's not much. Except for the game city, which has more than two million people, the other places combined are probably only four to five million. Anyway, the total does not exceed ten million."

"Game City? This city is called Game City?"

Zhou Ming felt strange, why did such a majestic city have such a weird name?

You can call it "Angel City", "Golden City", etc. You can call it Game City...

Lanna smiled, with an indescribable mysterious smile in her eyes, and said: "This city did have a name before, but most people have forgotten what it was called. Now everyone likes to call it 'Game' City', as for why it's called Game City..."

She glanced at Zhou Ming with a smile and deliberately let it slip: "Kid, you will know soon."

Only two days have passed. Zhou Ming still doesn't know the reason why this city is called Game City, but he finally sees the so-called "game".

Coincidentally, Zhou Ming, whose treatment progress had reached 80%, went for a walk in the garden downstairs of the hospital that morning, admiring the lush flowers and plants, but a scream came not far away, causing caught his attention.

Walk over and take a look.

Under the shade of a tree, several nurses sat on a bench, their heads crowded together, holding a projection device in their hands, sometimes screaming, sometimes cheering, sometimes frustrated.

"My favorite Scarhead, kill him, kill him quickly, oh! Well done Scarhead, well done! You will definitely win this one!"

"Scarhead has killed 8 people. This time Scarhead killed the most people. I bought him too. I love his wild muscles!"

"Oh! No no! Scarhead was killed. My Scarhead and my five coins are gone, gone again!"

"My ten pieces of money! Damn one-eyed dragon, despicable and shameless! He only knows how to use traps to kill people, damn it, damn it!" The nurse angrily smashed the chair, his face full of anger and resentment.

"Hahahahahaha! One-eyed dragon, my little baby! I knew you wouldn't let me down. There are only two people left. The opponent is a short man with small eyes who was injured. I will win. I will win this game! 20 gold can now be turned into 800, hahaha, hahahaha!"

Zhou Ming heard a familiar voice, wasn't that Lana?

Only Lana's laughter is so magical and unique, right?

However, this burst of devilish laughter only lasted less than a minute, and turned into a fit of rage and rage.

"No! No! My one-eyed dragon, get up, get up! Get up and kill him, kill that little-eyed man! No, no, no, damn little-eyed man, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Nurse Lanna roared and cursed like crazy, but looking at the one-eyed dragon with its head cut off in the video, no matter how she roared, it was of no avail.

"Hahaha, Lana, how many games have you lost? Has it been dozens of games?"

"Lana is the loser, and Lanna is the king of bad luck... Whichever person Lana chooses, that person will definitely die. That's it, hahaha."

"Every time I place a bet, Lana chooses the one and eliminates this one first. As a result, I still win a few times, haha."

"Anyway, it can't be the same as Lana."

The nurses on the side laughed at Lanna. Although they all lost, it was good to use this matter to clear away the depression in their hearts.

"boom!"

"Get out, get out of here, you bitches! I don't want to see you again!"

The communication device in her hand was slammed to the ground, and Lana, whose face turned from livid to red, became furious at these colleagues.

"Hahahahaha~"

This only made these colleagues laugh even louder.

"Lana, what are you doing..."

At this time, Zhou Ming walked over and asked with a puzzled expression.

"We are betting..."

Seeing Zhou Ming, Lanna, who was in an extremely depressed mood, her eyes lit up. She picked up the communication device that had not been broken on the ground, and explained to him the rules of "game" betting in front of the video projected inside, such as this A game called "Game of Death" has a total of 51 players. You can bet money to buy any one, corresponding to different multipliers...

"Death Game"?

Gambling and placing bets?

So that’s what happened.

Lana introduced the gameplay endlessly, and then asked him to borrow a "small amount of money", saying that if Zhou Ming agreed to lend her the money, she could teach him how to play "Game of Death" for free and guaranteed to teach him how to play it. , Buy a hundred and make a profit.

"Buy everything and lose everything, kid. Don't be fooled by her. Lana is the famous bad luck king in our hospital."

"Yes, that's right. If you borrow her, she will definitely lose. You can't pay her back."

"Kid, are you just here? Haven't played games yet? It doesn't matter. My sister can guide you. She is much better than Lana."

"Get out! Get out! Xiao Zhao, they are all liars, don't be fooled by them, go, I will teach you how to play the game, I am ten thousand times better than them, they are jealous of me, so they slander me like this..."

Lana pulled Zhou Ming aside and quickly stayed away from these colleagues.

So, in the next few days, perhaps because she really wanted to "borrow" some money from Zhou Ming, Lana was extremely enthusiastic about him. Whenever she had time, she would take him along and introduce the games she often played, as well as the bets on various games. Pay attention to techniques and magnification calculation methods.

Nurse Ai Li saw this scene and shook her head. She took Zhou Ming aside privately and reminded him: "Lana is a gambling addict. Don't lend her money. Besides, she is unlucky. Her monthly salary is , they all lost completely, be careful not to be fooled by her."

Zhou Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.

However, he also discovered that even the very decent nurse Alli, although not a deep gambler like Lana, still likes to bet money in a killing competition called "Maze Warrior" and pay attention to some of her comparisons. A promising player...
