"I don't know when it started, but the new generation of young people have begun to regard being a 'couch potato' as their life, staying at home as their lifestyle, and climbing the social ladder as their goal."
Inside the conference hall on the second floor of Big Orange Satellite TV, host Sun Dalei, holding a microphone, spoke to the camera with a pained expression.
People are no longer diligent, no longer hardworking, unwilling to struggle, and unwilling to endure any hardship.
"I don't know what's wrong with you young people, but what I see is decadence and a lack of ambition."
"This is terrible."
" Urban Survival 365 Days " is meant to show you the meaning of hard work, to make young people understand that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and also to make you understand...
"How exactly should we create wealth and the future?"
"We randomly selected one hundred contestants online; the oldest was 35 and the youngest was only 17."
"Among them are workers, students, corporate executives, online influencers, and celebrities."
"But from the moment they participate in the program, regardless of their original background, they will all start from scratch."
Their identity information will be Correction.
"For this, we would like to thank the authorities for their Dali support, which granted our program team partial access to the Heavenly Eye System."
"As you'll see once the show begins, I believe the contestants and viewers will understand the true meaning of Correction your identity information."
"Similarly, we would also like to thank Longwei Group for providing us with high-end equipment, including miniature Invisibility drone cameras. Each machine is worth over a million."
"Contestants must not damage the machine by any means. In the event of a privacy incident, or any sudden privacy incident, contestants may request to temporarily disable their cameras."
"The players' activities are currently limited to North Leaf Province. As the game progresses, other provinces will be opened up accordingly."
" North Leaf Province comprises 12 cities and 71 towns, with a population of 230 million. It is one of the largest cities in the northern part of the Ancient Country."
" North Leaf Province, formerly part of Outer Mongolia, was officially returned to China three years ago and renamed North Leaf Province."
"I believe everyone is aware of the current situation in North Leaf Province. Due to some legacy issues and certain special reasons, it's a place where all sorts of people mingle."
"Gangs still exist, especially in border areas where oversight is very weak."
"Furthermore, the majority of the people in North Leaf Province belong to the North Bai Ethnic Group, and they currently do not have a strong sense of belonging to the Dragon Country."
"The athletes are likely to encounter all sorts of unexpected events, which could even be life-threatening."
At this point, Sun Dalei's expression became much more serious.
"The show didn't set any rules for the contestants, meaning they could acquire survival resources and accumulate wealth through any means."
"Of course, if a contestant breaks the law, the production team will provide personnel to pursue them. If a contestant harms the public, the production team will use unconventional methods to force their elimination."
"In other words, contestants can Simulation illegal behavior, but they cannot actually break the law."
"Of course, I would like to advise all participants to use official channels. The pursuit team uses equipment from the top special operations teams in the country and has the most professional arrest experts."
"Believe me, no contestant who Simulation crime will have a good outcome."
Sun Dalei pointed to the location of the camera and said with a hint of Taunt.
"The 100 contestants who survive for a full 365 days will receive a prize of 20 million, and the one with the highest accumulated wealth will receive a prize of 100 million."
"I now declare the program officially open."
As Sun Dalei finished speaking, the live stream suddenly went black, and all viewers were ejected from the live stream and returned to the program's official homepage.
At the same time, 101 independent live streaming rooms appeared on the page.
Viewers can choose to watch any contestant's live stream, or they can enter the program's dedicated live stream room.
Meanwhile, in the program's private live broadcast room, Sun Dalei pushed open the door and walked in.
"Dear viewers, this is the program's exclusive live broadcast room. We are honored to have with us micro-expression expert Ms. Ning Hong, renowned detective novelist Mr. Wang Qiang, China's richest man Mr. Ma Dayun, and, wow..."
At this point, Sun Dalei wore an incredulous expression.
Pointing to a handsome, slender man in the corner, he asked, " Lin Qian, what are you doing here? Are you a magician? Did you wander onto the wrong set?"
Lin Qian, one of the top magic performance masters in China, seems completely out of place here.
"Sorry, I got in through connections. This show is so popular, I just wanted to ride the wave." Lin Qian raised his hand, saying without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
"You managed to get into this show through connections? You're amazing."
"Haha, just kidding, it's not like that. Among the contestants are a few fellow magicians, and the production team told me that these people might use magic to do something bad, so they brought me in."
"Do people really use magic to do bad things?"
"Teacher Sun, you must never underestimate the magician's skills. Magic, by its very nature, is a form of deception, deceiving the audience's eyes, Sense of Smell, and Perception."
"There are a few guys here I know, they're incredibly skilled. If they really wanted to use magic to scam people, the chances of an ordinary person falling for it would be almost 100%."
"My job is to find flaws. If I find evidence that someone is using magic tricks to commit fraud, I can submit it to the pursuit team. Every time I successfully find one..."
Sun Dalei quickly stopped him. "Alright, that's enough. Why do you blurt out everything?"
Everyone laughed.
In fact, they said these things intentionally, to show the audience what their role as experts was.
Each of them can observe the contestants' behavior on the show, and once they find any illegal behavior, they can notify the pursuit team.
Meanwhile, in North Leaf Province, Baihai City, Ling Yi watched the program's rules on the television in his room and then wore a strange expression.
He is a time traveler Soul Transmigration to this Parallel World about a week ago.
The original owner of this body was also named Ling Yi. He was a recent college graduate who signed up for and was successfully selected as a contestant on a TV show. To celebrate, he invited a group of his buddies for drinks, but ended up drinking himself to death.
Ling Yi's "soul" happened to transmigrate over, taking over this body and receiving the original owner's memories.
This Parallel World is quite different from Ling Yi's original world.
The first difference is in time; the world is already in 2035.
Secondly, the Dragon Country in this world is much stronger, already the World Number One superpower. As for Amaileken, it can't even hold onto its top three position anymore.
Third, the Great Island was Li Qiang returned to China five years ago, and Outer Mongolia became a province of Dragon Country five years ago.
Fourth, Dragon Country's technological development has been even more rapid, making it a world leader in science and technology.
For example, Longwei Group has already developed a ladybug-sized, Invisibility unmanned camera.
This is already starting to sound like cutting-edge technology.
As for other aspects, there haven't been many Changes.
The entertainment industry remains a complete mess, with Xiao Xian heartthrobs emerging one after another...
The age of marriage is getting older, the proportion of older single men and women is increasing, and young people are becoming more and more listless...
Ling Yi had a general idea of the significance of the show, but the claim of "no rules" was a joke; the absence of rules was the biggest rule.
If you break the law, there will be a pursuit team that completely Simulation a real Capture.
Trying to take shortcuts or resort to unethical means is almost impossible.
As a transmigrator, Ling Yi naturally possesses a cheat-like advantage.
Can...
What on earth is the Hot Blood Hero System "?
Unfamiliar with the Hot Blood Hero?
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhàzhàhuī!"
That's right, it's this Hot Blood Hero game.
The system gave him a "three-class mastery gift pack" as soon as it opened.
In other words, Ling Yi can wear the equipment of the Daoist, Warrior, and Mage classes and possess all the skills of the three classes.
That's right, all the skills are available from the start, and it's a super-modified version.
Daoist Skills: Healing Technique, Mental Power Battle Technique, Poisoning Technique, Soul Fire Talisman, Summon War General, Holy Armor Technique, Ghost Shield, Invisibility Spell, Group Invisibility Spell, Demon Binding Spell, Group Healing Technique, Summon Deity, Hurricane Break, Wuji True Qi.
Mage skills: Fireball, Repulsion Fire Ring, Light of the Spirit, Hellfire, Lightning, Teleportation, Great Fireball, Firewall, Hell Lightning, Magic Shield, Ice Roar, Meteor Fire Rain.
Warrior Skills: Basic Swordsmanship, Slaying Swordsmanship, Assassination Sword Technique, Half Moon Scimitar, Savage Charge, Flaming Sword Technique, Heaven Splitter Slash, Sun Chaser Slash, Cross Slaying Technique.
General skills: Clone Technique, Body Protection Shield.
However, Ling Yi is currently only level 1, and many of his skills cannot be used because he doesn't have enough magic power.
But, did I get assigned to the wrong system?
This is supposed to be an urban world, right? An urban world giving yourself a Combat system? What's up with that?
There is no Mission System, meaning that the only way to level up is by fighting monsters.
But what are the criteria for judging something as strange? A mouse, Rabbit, a pig... or a human?
The key point is, he's currently live-streaming; would he dare use those skills?
Ling Yi tried it out and found that casting skills didn't require any starting moves; as long as he had enough magic power, he could cast them with a thought.
This makes the skill release process much more discreet.
Therefore, choosing which industry to pursue next is crucial for Ling Yi.
Each contestant starts with a place to live, but only has seven days of free use; it serves as the contestants' initial safe house.
Seven days later, they must leave the safe house.
Therefore, the contestants do not need to worry about accommodation during these seven days.
At that moment, Ling Yi suddenly noticed several newspapers on the coffee table.
Ling Yi picked up a card casually.
After a quick glance, Ling Yi turned to the newspaper's advertising section.
When he saw a list of job postings, his eyes suddenly lit up.
" Langya Mercenary Corps is recruiting top talents with high salaries. Salary negotiable. Contact information..."
" The Wuhai Mercenary Corps is recruiting highly skilled reconnaissance personnel. Monthly salary over 100,000. Contact information..."
" Mantis Mercenary Section, High Salary Recruitment... Contact Information..."
Ling Yi's eyes widened in disbelief. In this world, could mercenaries be recruited so openly?
Isn't this a power belonging to the dark world?
No, it's not that mercenaries in this world have become formalized; rather, the situation in North Leaf Province is unique.
In this Parallel World, the northern Sickle Country has been in a state of chaos since it disintegrated 60 years ago.
The once vast country was split into Xiaoxiao a dozen smaller countries.
These dozen or so countries are almost constantly at war, fighting each other, one country being destroyed today and another being established tomorrow, it's a complete mess.
This provided fertile ground for the mercenary industry to thrive.
The North Leaf Province spans a vast area, bordering five or six small countries.
This has led to the gradual systematization of the mercenary industry here.
Ling Yi quickly made a decision, then took out his phone and began searching online for detailed information about these mercenary groups.
