[Chapter 063, Financial Crisis 23-Methods to Make Money]
Everyone was tired all night, and after cleaning up the place, they returned to the third floor.
On the other side of the third floor, the six people who were controlled by Xiao Lou with a ring also heard the movement outside, but they were tied to the corner and could not see clearly what was happening outside. They could only hear a loud "boom" on the construction site.
The flames of the explosion lit up, and the sound of "bang bang" gunfire was heard continuously. It was obvious that a fierce battle was taking place outside.
The six people had been hungry for several days, and their stomachs were ravenous. When they heard the noise outside, their legs became weak with fright, for fear that people outside would rush into the construction site and kill them all.
A girl cried and complained: "I should have known I shouldn't have listened to you. I just ran in to grab supplies when I saw that we were weak. It turned out to be a good thing. They were all arrested!"
Another girl also had a face full of remorse: "This is not the real world. Don't think that six against two will definitely win."
"That's right, who knew that man would have such a powerful card in his hand..."
"It's all someone's bad idea. Maybe we didn't try to grab it in the first place. If we discussed it carefully, we could still get some food."
The middle-aged man who had originally suggested that everyone go in to grab things became angry and roared: "Shut up, everyone, save some energy! There are only two days left, and you can pass the level without starving to death. When you meet those four people later, I will
Let’s settle accounts with them again!”
The tied woman sneered: "Just you? Do you have the ability to settle accounts with them?"
The middle-aged man was so angry that he cursed a few times and stopped talking.
These six rabble-rousers were originally formed as a temporary team. Seeing that Xiao Lou and Ye Qi were outnumbered, they got evil intentions and tried to rob, but Xiao Lou counterattacked. They had been locked up on the third floor without eating or drinking, which was a bit of an experience.
Ye Qi’s last few days in the nightmare chamber.
The other challengers were taken back to the third floor in the northeast corner by Xiao Lou and slept in separate rooms.
Last night's victory made everyone feel relieved, so they slept very soundly this time, and everyone didn't wake up until noon.
A group of people went to Ye Qi to get food in an orderly manner.
The new thief had been hungry for several days and was almost moved to tears when he found out that he could receive so much food.
The young man couldn't help but said: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have been stupid and went to jail. This is the first time I have been in jail since I was a child!"
The bearded uncle laughed and said: "You have a lot of experience, you have been in jail for two days in the card world...how does it taste?"
The boy was crestfallen: "Don't mention it! The prison food in this world is terrible. Every meal of vegetables, radishes, and white rice is like feeding rabbits. We only ate on the third day when all the prison guards ran away, and we both
Locked in a cell, staring at the bars is going crazy..."
Another person said: "Yes, I really wanted to cry while facing the bars. I thought I was going to starve to death."
Several girls nearby were snickering. The two guys with clear minds were lucky this time and passed the level directly lying down.
The man who joined yesterday afternoon said: "You are pretty good. You have vegetables and radishes to eat in the cell. After my girlfriend and I were stolen, we couldn't afford the rent and had to sleep on the street. My girlfriend was also robbed with a knife."
The bastard was stabbed, and he really thought he was dead at the time..."
The girl who came to the construction site yesterday with an injury felt much better after taking medicine and resting overnight. She turned pale when she heard this and said, "Thank you everyone for taking us in. Otherwise, even if I didn't starve to death, my wound would be infected."
He will probably die too."
The girl who lost the shot put raised her glass cheerfully and said, "We should thank Brother Xiao, Lao Han, Shao Qin and Xiao Ye. If it weren't for the four leading the team, I really don't know how we would get on next."
The bearded uncle also took the initiative to raise a bottle of pineapple beer and said: "Let's toast the four of you!"
Others followed suit, offering coke, orange juice, and mineral water. The gratitude in their eyes was sincere: "Thank you, Brother Xiao!" "Thank you all, it's great to be organized!"
Xiao Lou couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, we also want to pass the customs."
He glanced at his three companions, and the three of them raised the drinks in their hands in unison, and everyone clinked their glasses together.
Although this lunch was not as rich as the chicken, duck, and fish in the restaurant, everyone was very satisfied that they could eat as much canned meat, snacks, and instant noodles of different flavors as they wanted.
After lunch, Xiao Lou called everyone together and said: "I speculate that the biggest difficulty in this secret room is that the owner of Shanshui B&B and the free men of the mysterious organization join forces to steal all our supplies, attract the prisoners, and destroy the group.
us."
Yu Hanjiang agreed in a low voice: "We have already solved two bosses in the C-level secret room, and it is unlikely that another boss will appear."
Liu Tong's identity was revealed and he committed suicide by taking poison. The prisoner leader Scarface had his neck twisted off by Liu Xiaoyuan.
Both bosses have been dealt with, so the next step shouldn't be too difficult.
After all, the difficulty of the secret room increases step by step. The spades 3 secret room is already difficult enough. If it weren't for Xiao Lou's organization, this group of challengers might have been wiped out again. After the battle last night, it was quiet all day today. If everyone
If you continue to stay at the construction site, the possibility of clearing customs directly is very high.
Xiao Lou suggested: "Although it is possible to clear customs directly by staying here, this batch of supplies is too wasteful. Why don't we find a way to sell the excess supplies and exchange them for some gold coins to take out?"
At the beginning, the challengers all knew in advance that the financial crisis was about to break out and money would become less and less valuable, so most of the challengers spent almost all their money on the first day. When the supplies were gathered together, they could almost open a store.
convenience store.
Now that the secret room is about to end, they can't take away the leftover food. Selling it for money is the best way to deal with it.
A cautious girl worried: "But if we bring a large amount of food to sell, the city is very unsafe now. What if we get robbed?"
The girl next to her nodded in agreement: "I heard that there are some radicals in the urban area who are beating, smashing, and robbing everywhere. We will just take them to set up a stall. There is a high possibility of being robbed."
Xiao Lou also considered this, glanced at everyone, and said: "Everyone should think of a solution."
The challengers lowered their heads and thought hard.
At this moment, Ye Qi suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea: "We can bring relatively small supplies and go to those safe communities to sell door to door!"
Everyone was stunned and turned to look at him.
Ye Qi said excitedly: "When I was in college, I sold snacks in the dormitory building and knocked on doors. Of course, it would arouse people's disgust. Some seniors would even give me a few looks, but now we are in a world of financial crisis.
, we go door-to-door to sell food, and it’s cheaper than the market price, so this is a timely help!”
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and felt that what Ye Qi said was reasonable, so he nodded: "This is a good idea."
Ye Qi's eyes lit up after receiving Professor Xiao's affirmation, and he continued proudly: "We only carry a small amount of food in our backpacks to sell, and it will not attract the attention of the robbers. We work in groups, and we have each other."
Take care of.”
Shao Qingge touched his chin and said with a smile: "Although this method is troublesome, it can barely work."
Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang, who nodded, and Xiao Lou said with a smile: "Let's do it. We have 16 people here, divided into four groups, and go to those residential areas to sell door to door.
Don’t have too many supplies and sell them as much as you can.”
Xiao Lou looked at Shao Qingge and asked, "How should I set the price?"
Shao Qingge thought for a while and said: "According to the market price of the financial crisis, which doubled in one day, today is the sixth day and has doubled to 64 times. Many residents cannot afford this price, and I guess the savings in the hands of citizens are not worth it."
If there are too many, let’s sell them at ten times the price.”
Ye Qi took a pen and paper and quickly calculated: "A box of instant noodles costs 2,000 gold coins. Ten times that is 20,000 gold coins. We have 10 boxes left..." He calculated over and over again, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "The rest
If you sell all these supplies, you can make millions without any problem!"
Other challengers couldn't help but get excited: "Oh my god, can the secret room of the financial crisis still make money?" "I thought the initial gold coin of 100,000 was not enough, and I would starve to death..." "It's great to follow a master.
, and you can still make money!”
Everyone sighed.
Uncle Beard pointedly asked: "How to calculate the final profit?"
Everyone thought that the four of them had the greatest contribution and should be divided into 28% or 37%. No matter what, it would be pretty good for the others to earn some pocket money.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lou smiled slightly and said, "Sell it by group. After the sale, the group members will share it equally."
He didn't want to be greedy for these petty profits. He had already doubled the previous accommodation fees. Besides, Mr. Shao made more than one million by shorting stocks, which was far more than selling these daily necessities. With Mr. Shao here, they would be able to make more money in the future.
There is no shortage of money. There is no need to fight with everyone for a 40-60 split for the small amount of milk and bread. It seems too stingy.
Everyone couldn't believe it.
Xiao Lou said simply: "We are now arranged into groups. Each group must have escape and protection cards. Among the four people, one person does not carry any supplies and is only responsible for detecting whether the environment is safe. After confirming that the community is safe, the other three people
If we go to door-to-door sales again, the money earned by each group will be divided equally among the four people. What do you think?"
The challengers had no objection at all and said everything was up to Brother Xiao's arrangement.
The 16 challengers were divided into four groups: a, b, c, and d. Xiao Lou and the others each led a team, packed some supplies in their backpacks, and headed to the city together.
Team A led by Yu Hanjiang took the lead. He found a community with a good environment. After using a teleport card to investigate, he found that the community was very quiet. The residents were all hiding at home. There were no traces of robbers, so he sent a message to others.
Group A goes to Building 1, Group B goes to Building 2...
16 people quickly sneaked into the residential building and began the work of "door-to-door food sales."
Ye Qi’s group d has the fastest progress.
The young man has a handsome face, looks innocuous, has a very sweet mouth, and smiles full of youthful vigor. He knocks on the door and calls for uncle, and the call for aunt is very smooth.
The citizens have been so frightened these days that they have been hiding in their homes, afraid to come out, like frightened birds.
Seeing a young man like Ye Qi with no offensive power through the cat's eye, the citizens' wariness would have dropped. Plus, Ye Qi took out the food and said with a smile: "Auntie, do you need something to eat? I have plenty here.
Milk and bread can be sold to you at low prices."
When the citizens realized that he was buying and selling, they asked the price through the crack in the door: "How much is it?"
Ye Qi carefully stuffed the list of food prices through the crack of the door, and the other party stuffed the gold coins out of the door. Ye Qi stuffed the milk and biscuits back. This can't be blamed for the citizens being too vigilant. In this environment,
Dare to open the door is already very bold...
Fortunately, after Ye Qi sold his first piece of food, neighbors who heard the noise next door also opened their doors to him to buy.
Compared with today’s price of 64 times, the little boy only sold it for 10 times. He is simply an angel!
Ye Qi was quickly surrounded by a group of aunts: "Are there any instant noodles?" "I want to buy chocolate, do you have any here?" "Young man, give me a carton of milk!"
Ye Qi called his team members, and the supplies were sold out in an instant.
***
Yu Hanjiang's group is also making good progress.
He didn't go door-to-door to sell, because he knew that his expression was too serious and if he knocked on the door, others would think he was here to rob. So he simply handed over the sales task to the girls in the same group, and he was only responsible for investigation and protection.
With their soft voices and gentle attitudes, the girls quickly dispelled the residents' wariness and sold out everything in their bags.
The teams led by Shao Qingge and Xiao Lou also went smoothly.
The environment of this community is very good, and the quality of the residents is relatively high. There was no robbery incident. Everyone carefully took money to buy food, and then quickly hid at home and closed the door.
This is my first time selling supplies, and I can say I came back with a full load.
When everyone gained confidence, they began to sell food to the surrounding communities one by one. With Yu Hanjiang, a professional investigator, he was able to take care of all the scattered robbers nearby. Challenger
They had a smooth journey.
By the time it was getting dark, half of the supplies at the construction site had been sold.
Of course, during the process, we also encountered some street children who had been hungry for several days, and the soft-hearted girl gave them some free food. We also encountered some who were eyeing their travel bags and tried to snatch them, but they were all chased away by Captain Yu.
.
Everyone worked hard all day and returned to the construction site collectively when it got dark.
***
On the seventh day, prices continued to skyrocket.
The challengers took supplies to sell them early in the morning. They visited several communities. Some citizens already knew them, and they spread the word privately that "outsiders have food in their hands, and it's very cheap."
Most citizens have some savings in their hands and inventory at home, so they will not directly rob or beat people.
Some old men and women heard rumors from their neighbors that outsiders would sell food, so they organized themselves spontaneously, prepared money, and planned to buy some cheap things secretly.
Ye Qi simply set up a temporary market in the community and started a street stall business.
Other challengers followed suit, and by the afternoon, the supplies were almost sold out.
At dusk, everyone returned to the construction site to count the harvest.
Ye Qi's group sold the most, and each person received 150,000 gold coins; the income of each of the other three groups was between 100,000 and 120,000. In addition, the owner of Shanshui B&B had his safe brought back by Xiao Lou.
Everyone got their accommodation fees back, and the initial capital of 100,000, equivalent to the 3 of Spades secret room, was not touched at all, but they made a profit in the end.
Everyone looked at the golden coins in their hands and couldn't believe it.
Originally, everyone was worried that this secret room would not survive, but now, not only has it survived successfully, but it has actually made money?

[Chapter 064, Financial Crisis 24-End]
The seventh day, night.
Xiao Lou organized everyone to have the last dinner.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Following the principle of "don't waste it", everyone ate up all the remaining food.
By 24:00 tonight, everyone will be able to pass the level collectively.
Fourteen people sat together, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Uncle Beard drank two cans of beer and sighed with a smile: "It's just like a dream. We all jointly cleared the level. It turns out that this is how the Spade Chamber is played. It seems that we all understood it wrong..."
A girl said with a pale face: "Yes, when I heard about the survival chamber, my first thought was to find a way to survive on my own. In fact, it is easier to survive when everyone joins forces."
A man next to him said: "If we encounter a worse living environment in the future, I think we can also imitate the experience of clearing this level and unite the challengers. Those who hunt, those who cook, and those who keep watch can also take turns.
Come on, there is strength in numbers!"
Seeing everyone's confidence, Xiao Lou couldn't bear to hurt them.
But in order to prevent these people from blindly trusting the same kind, Xiao Lou still reminded him gently: "Don't forget, Liu Tong, who stole a lot of supplies among the challengers. We have determined that there is an organization in this world that is dedicated to working against the challengers.
From now on, please don’t trust strangers easily, and it’s best to confirm each other’s identity before joining forces.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
I almost forgot, there may be a traitor among the challengers.
If everyone blindly trusts others, they may fall into the trap set by the traitor and be destroyed by the traitor group.
Ye Qi said positively: "I think Brother Xiao's method is very good. The challengers must have experienced many secret rooms. At present, these people who oppose us are most likely to haunt the spades secret room and the heart's secret room."
They may not necessarily know about the case, the mechanism of diamonds, and the game of plum blossoms. If you suspect each other's identity in the future, you can use these experiences to test."
Everyone was enlightened and nodded: "Yes, ask them what mechanism the 2 of diamonds is and who died in the 2 of hearts. If they look confused, it means they are not challengers!" "This method
Well, people in this secret room world may not regard the space they live in as a secret room! They regard us as foreigners. We can tell the difference after a few more test sessions."
Xiao Loudao: "One more suggestion is that you'd better form a team with others in advance and don't be alone. People who are alone can easily be targeted."
Uncle Beard agreed: "Yes, you can either form a team in advance and get familiar with your teammates, or you can go through the level alone like me. If you are matched randomly, maybe the teammate who matches you is a traitor."
Thinking of the experience of having supplies stolen this time, everyone is still frightened.
The sky has completely darkened, and everyone is sitting around, no one is sleepy.
Fourteen people sat together and chatted together. Xiao Lou asked everyone a question by the way: "You came to this world because of accidents in reality, right?"
Everyone talked about their own experiences, including those who were involved in car accidents, those who had sudden illnesses, those who were accidentally hacked to death, those who were burned to death in explosions, etc.
Xiao Lou asked: "Have you ever been exposed to playing cards before you died?"
Uncle Huzi was the first to say: "I love playing Landlords and play on my mobile phone every day." "I have played Upgrade with my friends." "I happened to learn Texas Hold'em some time ago..." "During the Chinese New Year, I played with my brothers and sisters.
Played Four of Hearts.”
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.
The selection rules of this world are indeed based on exposure to poker in reality, but the order of accidental death and exposure to poker is still uncertain.
A girl looked at Xiao Lou and asked softly: "Brother Xiao, can we really go back?"
Xiao Lou smiled and said: "I don't know either...but if you give up, you will never go back."
Everyone fell silent at the same time.
Don’t give up, even though you don’t know what the outcome will be, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Once you give up, you can never go back.
To stay in this crazy world and experience various secret rooms every day is so depressing just thinking about it.
…
The time is about to reach 24 o'clock, and everyone is tense.
Until the moment when the pointer pointed to 24:00, a line of prompts finally appeared in the floating box above Xiao Lou's head——
[Congratulations to Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang for successfully clearing the Secret Room Financial Crisis in Spades 3. The clearance score is s. Please return to your personal space to settle the rewards]
Clearance prompts with their own names also appeared above the heads of other people.
Some people jumped up excitedly: "I can finally leave this hellish place!" "I've passed the level too!" "Great, I've cleared the level!" "Everyone has cleared the level, right?!"
After everyone was excited for a while, a girl suddenly choked and said: "Brother Xiao, Lao Han, Xiaoye, and Mr. Qin, thank you four. If it weren't for you, I would probably have been killed by the thugs."
Another young guy also said: "Yes, thank you four great gods for taking us through the level!"
The couple came over and bowed: "Thank you for taking me in."
Two young men who were going to jail also ran over and said, "Thank you, brothers!"
There were shouts of thanks all around, and Xiao Lou smiled and said you're welcome.
The bearded uncle sighed lightly, walked over, put his hand on Xiao Lou's shoulder, and whispered: "Young man, uncle, I don't know how long you can live, but I am very optimistic about you... I really hope that there are more people like this in the secret room world.
People like you."
If all the challengers in the secret room world had such courage, they would be willing to join forces with other challengers to clear the level together, and adhere to principles and bottom lines, not to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
So, will it be much easier for the challengers in this world?
Xiao Lou's heart trembled slightly, he nodded towards his uncle and said, "Old Hu, everything goes well."
Huzi laughed twice: "Just live one day at a time. Goodbye everyone!"
He was the first to leave the 3 of Spades secret room.
The other challengers also came over, said goodbye to Xiao Lou and the others, and left one after another.
Someone asked shamelessly: "Brother Xiao, are you still missing someone in your team? If so, can you add me..."
Xiao Lou smiled and declined: "Sorry, my contract is already full."
The other party had no choice but to wave his hands regretfully and turned to leave.
After all the other challengers were gone, Ye Qi looked at Xiao Lou and asked in a low voice: "Professor Xiao, what about me? Can you add me as well..."
Xiao Lou smiled and patted his shoulder: "You are the reservation team member. Aren't you and Mr. Shao going to the Three of Hearts?"
Ye Qi's eyes lit up: "Great!" He turned back to look at Shao Qingge and said seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Shao, I will definitely be obedient."
Shao Qingge smiled lightly: "Just obey."
Anyway, he had already obtained the spoiler from Xiao Lou and knew what the situation of 3 of Hearts was like. As a scumbag of hearts, he was confident that he could pass the level perfectly this time with the little guy with an S score of hearts.
Yu Hanjiang reminded: "You must buy a contract first and bind them together, otherwise you will all be alone now, and you may not meet any teammates in random matches."
"Leave this matter to me." Shao Qingge looked back at Ye Qi and said, "After you return to your personal space, don't rush to draw cards. Wait for my contract invitation. After signing the contract, I will
Just draw the 3 of hearts to pull you in."
Ye Qi nodded vigorously: "Understood!"
Xiao Loudao: "Then we will follow the original plan. You two will go to the 3 of hearts, and Captain Yu and I will go to the 3 of clubs. When we wait for the fourth level, you will go to the plum blossoms first, and we will go to the hearts first, and then continue on the black.
Peach Reunion. Once you clear all the C-level secret rooms, you tear up the contract and I will sign it with you after I upgrade the contract. From now on, we can form a team together."
Shao Qingge nodded readily: "No problem."
Ye Qi was of course obedient: "Okay, Professor Xiao, Captain Yu, see you in spades 4!"
Mr. Shao and Ye Qi also left.
A countdown bar appears in the floating box, followed by the option of "Do you want to leave the secret room?"
Xiao Lou looked into the distance - under the cold moonlight, the city with water and power outages seemed to be shrouded in thick haze.
He didn't know if the city would be refreshed after the challengers left.
Will it return to its original appearance? Or will it be completely abandoned by the secret room world and turn into a financial apocalypse city with price levels fixed at 128 times?
They have experienced a lot in this city.
Met Shao Qingge, a young and promising entrepreneurial boss, and Ye Qi, a musical boy disguised as a garbage collector; learned about the nightmare chamber and the existence of the mysterious organization that was against the challenger; heard about "Moon City"
", and in the end, he fought with so many challengers, won a beautiful battle, and earned some gold coins.
I have gained a lot and have successfully passed the level.
But it was difficult for Xiao Lou to calm down.
He took one last look at the city shrouded in darkness, took a deep breath, looked at Yu Hanjiang with a smile, and said, "Let's go, Captain Yu, we have to continue to break through."
Yu Hanjiang nodded and pressed the "Leave" option.
Everything went dark before their eyes.
When I regained my vision again, I was already sitting in the cabin of the helicopter.
The familiar roar of propellers came from overhead, and in the transparent bubbles beneath our feet was a city completely plunged into darkness.
In the driver's seat of the helicopter in the front row, the man was wearing sunglasses and the corners of his mouth were raised in a cold arc.
It is the gatekeeper whom I haven’t seen for a long time—the ace of spades.
[Financial Crisis End]
The author has something to say: 3 of Spades is finished!
Today is the third update, thank you for your support:)
