Three hours later, a warning sound came from the train, and another world had arrived.
Wang Xu looked out through the glass. All the cars flying in the sky were anti-gravity buses, and all the cars running on the ground were anti-gravity buses. Not even a wheel could be seen.
Countless robots were walking back and forth, wearing clothing similar to security guards, playing a series of electronic broadcasts.
Wang Xu took Jasmine out of the car, and soon a stranger came up to him and introduced himself: "Sir, I am private consultant Mi Xiu. Do you need private services? I am the best novice guide and can help."
You quickly integrate into the upper world."
"How do you charge?" Wang Xu was a little interested, because he needed a guide to avoid being like a headless fly.
When Mi Xiu saw that there was business to be done, the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic, and he replied: "24-hour service is 3,000 yuan, the hiring fee is 15,000 yuan for one week, and the monthly subscription is 50,000 yuan. Dear sir, I suggest you sign a long-term contract, the longer the time, the higher the price."
The more favorable it is.”
"I'll hire you for one day first to see if you're worth the money." Wang Xu didn't mean to talk about a long-term contract. Instead, he looked at the flow of people in the station and said, "I just came up from below. Usually like me
As a person, what should you do first?”
"Communicator, you need a new communication watch, which can help you understand the world. In addition, if you have no relatives here, I think you need to find a place to live. Silver City has express regulations that do not allow any
People who live on the streets will be exiled to the lower world in serious cases. Finally, if you are relatively wealthy, I suggest you consider a financial plan."
Michu speaks very quickly, but his enunciation is clear, making it sound fast and not messy.
Wang Xu thought for a moment and chose to do the first thing first, get a communication watch that Mi Xiu had mentioned.
Communication watches are the main communication tool in the upper world, and their functions are similar to modern mobile phones.
However, it is more practical than a mobile phone and has more functions. It has a complete virtual operating keyboard, plus holographic projection technology, and comes with a smart butler function, which is like carrying an old man who knows Pepsi with you.
"The Lucky Star 202 communication watch is the most high-end masterpiece on the market. It costs 86,000 yuan. You deserve it!"
"Want two dollars"
It was shopping time ahead. In order to make themselves more like people from the upper world, Wang Xu and Jasmine had to change their entire outfits.
From clothes to leather shoes, from smart watches to smart floating cars for transportation, there is only one thing Wang Xu needs to do, spend money, spend money, spend more money
Money is not everything, but no money is everything.
Wang Xu made a rough calculation and found that he had spent at least five million on the new look from beginning to end.
The smart suspension car is the big one here. This bright silver speed car called the Backlight Messenger cost Wang Xu 4.5 million.
But it was worth it. The first time Wang Xu saw the backlight, he knew that this was what he wanted.
As for money, Wang Xu doesn't care. At worst, he can bring some gems from modern times and have everything as soon as he changes hands.
"Two passes cost two million, two brand-new identities cost one million, the hover car costs four and a half million, and other expenses totaled over three hundred thousand. I sold eight million diamonds and still have two hundred and thirty thousand left.
!”
After spending money like water, Wang Xu gained some restraint and asked Mi Xiu: "Are there many rich people in the upper world?"
"For every thousand people, there is one billionaire, ten multi-millionaires, and hundreds of millionaires. But your car is great. Generally, only billionaires will choose a suspension car at this price."
Michu's answer was affirmative, but also cruel.
Sure enough, with the support of the lower world, the finance of the upper world has developed explosively.
Wang Xu has a huge sum of money worth tens of millions. In the lower world, it would take a factory worker to work without food or drink for 20,000 years to earn it.
But here you only have to pick one out of a hundred, which is equivalent to picking anyone out on the street, and they may be richer than him. The upper world is indeed a world of money.
"Well, I'm a poor man, that's how it looks at the moment!" Wang Xu shrugged belatedly, and then asked, "How do you make money here?"
"Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and shrimps eat mud."
Michu leaned on the passenger seat, tapping on the window with his fingers, and encouraged: "Would you like me to take you to the trading market? You will be surprised there."
"Trading market?" Wang Xu muttered this word and nodded imperceptibly.
twenty minutes later
The trading market that Michu mentioned is a skyscraper with a height of hundreds of stories, and it is filled with people.
Wang Xu and Jasmine walked among them, and what they saw was that there was a circular hall on each floor, with a square virtual image projected in the middle.
Wang Xu walked up and took a look and found that there was a series of information and quotations on it, corresponding to factories and stores.
"This is a trading center. It is divided into three stages, the upper world industry trade, the lower world industry trade, and the special industry sales center. If you tap your fingers here, you can have a company with more than one million workers in the lower world.
The factories are constantly waiting to receive money. Of course, if your investment fails, bankruptcy will be easy."
Mi Xiu took Wang Xu and the two of them up and came to the sale announcement on the 88th floor.
This bulletin board is no different from the bulletin board below. The only difference is that this is a mining investment. On one of the positions for sale, there is a word like Manager Mi Xiu written on it.
"This Mi Xiu can't be you, right?" Wang Xu looked at the iron mine for sale and looked at Mi Xiu with some surprise. He didn't expect that he was also a mine owner.
Mi Xiu smiled bitterly when he heard this, looked at Wang Xu with the eyes of a foreigner, and explained: "Ninety-nine percent of the people in the upper world have properties in the lower world. The difference is just the size. For example, mine
The annual output value of this iron mine is about RMB 80,000, and there are more than 600 people absent from work. It is already considered a small industry.
There are some children from wealthy families who have factories with 100,000 people when they are in school. They are like playing a training game. After school, they give various instructions to the factories below. A single order can affect the lower world, dozens of people.
Remember the family, those rich people use this method to train their children, can you imagine what that scene is like?"
Wang Xu lowered his head and thought for a while, then uttered two words after a long time: "Terrible!"
A group of primary school students use the industry of the lower world to exercise their abilities by playing development games, which is nothing to be afraid of.
Perhaps to them, people in the lower world are not human beings, but just a group of NPCs with their own thoughts.
Every day, various data in the lower-level factories are presented on the virtual screen in the form of tables, and then fine-tuned by these operators.
It is conceivable that reality is not a game, and there will be no chance to save and come back again.
As long as there is a mistake in one link, or a seriously wrong order is issued, a factory with hundreds of thousands of people will fall apart, causing a wave of layoffs of hundreds of thousands of people.
Some of the operators who issued the orders could personally understand the feelings of the lower-class workers. For them, it would be enough to close the factory and open a new one, but for the laid-off workers, it would be the end of the world.
