Chapter 191 Crystal Core Loan(1/2)
"Are you still envious of other people's big houses with sea views? Are you still longing for the magical weapon that can kill people? Are you shy about the expensive products in the base store?"
"Don't hesitate, pick up the radio in your hand and contact the radio number xxxxx immediately. Oasis Group will make your life worry-free in the last days!"
Lu Sheng and others: "..."
The lines are so familiar, but they don't sound like anything good.
"How does this advertisement look like a small loan before the end of the world? Could it be that the same bunch of bullies from before are back to their old business?"
Several people looked at each other.
In recent years, small loans have become extremely popular, and advertisements are everywhere, as if you have borrowed money and don’t have to pay it back.
A classmate in Lu Sheng's class borrowed a routine loan, and the interest compounded, resulting in more and more money owed. In the end, the family had to sell their home in a small fifth-tier county to help pay off the debt.
(Friendly reminder, stay away from online loans, keep your wallet tight, and don’t spend in advance.)
"The advertisements are ringing loudly. How much can I borrow if I go there?" Zhang Xiaojuan looked curiously at the young man outside the safe zone.
The young man had no expression on his face and took out a crumpled leaflet from his arms.
The Jinghe Loan provided by Oasis Group also divides the loan amount according to the type and level of the borrower's abilities.
The higher the level, the stronger the type of superpower, and the higher the amount of crystal cores that can be loaned.
Although it is not clearly stated, the various conditions set in the leaflet have already excluded ordinary people and low-level superpowers.
"Good guy! A third-level superpower can borrow 200 intermediate crystal cores? The fourth level is 500, and the fifth level can actually get 1,000??"
Zhang Xiaojuan clenched the leaflet tightly, pointed at the amount on it and raised her eyes in surprise.
According to the current price, 200 crystal cores can be used in a large base for at least two months. It is definitely a lot of money for a third-level superpower user, and the temptation is not ordinary.
"And the interest rate doesn't seem to be particularly high?" Han Rui leaned her head over and found the interest rate next to the loan amount.
"It's fools like you who lied." Zhang Xiaojuan snorted and found a line of small words in a corner that was almost legible, "This crystal core loan uses compound interest, and the interest is compounded. As long as you borrow
You have to peel off the skin."
Just like before the end of the world, such deceptive clauses are hidden in nooks and crannies where they are not easily noticed.
For ordinary people with super powers, the temptation of this amount is too great.
Nowadays, zombies in most areas have gathered together to form a swarm, and few are left alone. It is not easy for mediocre third- and fourth-level superpowers to obtain a large number of crystal nuclei.
No matter when, it is difficult to move without money.
In the apocalypse, without crystal nuclei, even food and housing would be a problem.
When many people take out an online loan for the first time, they have the idea that they can pay it back quickly. However, according to this compound interest calculation method, even if the hole is filled as quickly as possible, the interest will be almost equivalent to one-third of the principal.
.
"But now is the end of the world. Everyone has no school, no job, and the unlucky ones don't even have family or friends. If they are determined not to pay back the money, Oasis Group can't do anything with these superpowers, right?" Sun Tiantian asked curiously.
Before the apocalypse, the online loan collection method was probably to blast the address book, contact all the borrower's family, friends and colleagues, and use social pressure to force the person to repay the debt.
But in the apocalypse, when everyone has almost no social connections, how can these small loan lenders collect debts?
Lu Sheng played with the soybean-sized chip in his hand, "That's why we have to implant the chip in the borrower's head."
"What will happen if you still don't get it?"
Everyone had the same question and looked at the pale boy.
"Oasis Group will require borrowers to work to repay their debts." The young man lowered his head and glanced at the zombie security guard who was doing radio gymnastics in the yard from time to time.
Xiao Yu was doubtful, "But there are so many types of superpowers, and it's not easy to manage them. If you really want to run away, they shouldn't be able to stop them, right?"
The young man remained silent, then dug out a chip from the head of another unlucky guy at his feet, and twisted it hard with two fingers.
Bang!
There was an explosion like a cannon.
A faint burning smell wafted from the young man's fingertips, and two two-centimeter-long gashes were blown open on his fingertips.
The young man paid no attention to the wound, but the little girl next to him suddenly moved her neck stiffly.
"If this exploded in my head, my brain would be fried..." Zhang Xiaojuan swallowed dryly.
Who could come up with such a damaging trick...
Lu Sheng looked at the taciturn young man in front of him again.
He is about 17 or 18 years old, about 1.78 meters tall, with a fair and clean academic appearance. Although the clothes on his body are tattered, they are not dirty. It is obvious that he is a person who pays more attention to hygiene.
The girl next to her was about fifteen years old. She was wearing a hat and a mask so her appearance was hard to tell, but she could only be roughly seen as a petite girl.
There is a loop of hemp rope tied to the boy's left hand, and the other end of the rope is tied to the girl's right wrist.
The rope was about several meters long and was folded into a roll by the boy and held in his hand.
These two people are actually tied together?
The boy's attack range just now was within the length of the hemp rope...
"These people should be your companions, right? Otherwise, why would you go together? If you kill your companions, you must not be a good person!" Han Rui's little head suddenly became alert, and she subconsciously asked.
"How come you know so much about Jinghe Loan?" Sun Tiantian showed a hint of doubt.
The young man raised his head, and his dull eyes finally fell on Lu Sheng's face.
"I met them in City H, and helped deal with a fifth-level mutated wild dog, and we walked with them for a few days."
"This group of people are robbing houses in order to repay their loans, and their every move is under the surveillance of Oasis Group. If you let them in, Oasis Group will know about this place soon."
He paused, "I'm not a bad person, I just want to find a place where my sister can live."
Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
So the girl next to her is her sister?
"Why didn't your sister say a word... You must be a human trafficker, right..." Han Rui's little head was online for a long time today.
The boy hesitated for a few seconds, then gently took off the mask of the girl next to him.
The scene in front of them shocked Lu Sheng and others.
Under the girl's wrinkled mask, there is actually a metal muzzle hidden.
It seemed that the smell of blood on the young man's hands had irritated her, and the girl suddenly let out a low growl.
But after looking at the young man, he retracted his chin with all his strength.
"She was bitten by a zombie?" Lu Sheng was quite surprised.
The girl in front of her had blue skin and a faint black mouth. She was obviously infected with the zombie virus.
But generally infected people will soon lose their minds and become walking zombies, but this girl can still control her bloodthirsty instinct?
"She was bitten by a zombie rabbit."
The young man pitifully put the mask back on his sister, "But she has never bitten anyone, and she still has sense, but she can't speak normally."
Lu Sheng had heard of this situation in his previous life. It was an extremely rare half-zombie.
Half-zombies have the physical qualities and abilities of zombies, but still retain human emotions and reason.
"The base won't take us in." The young man stared at the large bowl of zombies not far away who was already doing push-ups. "But my sister is too lonely, and I also want her to have friends like a normal girl."
"There are also two and a half zombies in your base, can you..."
His tense features suddenly revealed a trace of pleading, "I can be your slave, I can do whatever you want me to do!"
"I've been interested in our big bowl of wide noodles for a long time..." Han Rui touched her nose awkwardly.
The few remaining people looked at Lu Sheng in unison.
Sister Lu still has the final say in this family.
"Can you guarantee that she will never bite anyone?" Lu Sheng asked in a calm tone.
In order to increase the attributes, it was of course best to recruit more people at the moment, but she didn't want to bring a time bomb.
Although you are absolutely safe in the base, there is always time to go out.
"No." The young man frowned and said in a lower tone, "Her teeth have been pulled out and will not cause harm to anyone."
"It's Lang Mie..." Zhang Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment.
(Note: Wolf Killer = a few points more than Ruthless Man)
"May I have your name?"
"Xu Han, my sister's name is Xu Meng."
"My base does not support idlers. If Xu Meng cannot do her job, then you will have to complete her job."
Lu Sheng added the brother and sister to the list of staff in the system.
