Gu Yi stood still, lost in thought.
The first ti he saw the man's daughter, Gu Yi thought she might be a breakthrough. But he soon realized he had no idea where to start.
Because he found, once again, that he couldn't persuade the daughter.
Despite the fact that his interaction with the lady lasted less than three minutes, he still couldn't recover from that shock.
Is it really true, as the supervisor said, that third-class citizens remain third-class citizens for their entire lives because they are lazy?
No.
Third-class citizens are third-class citizens because the upper classes have closed all the paths to advancent, leaving them to strive at the bottomno, "struggle" is a more appropriate word than "strive."
Mining is already the most lucrative job, but many third-class citizens have mined for twenty or thirty years and still can't shed the title of third-class citizen.
Perhaps life finally starts to improve, only to end in disease and death, eventually becoming nourishnt for the city.
When people die, they are pushed into the incinerator at death, and their blackened, hardened lungs can't even be lted by the high flas.
Gu Yi realized his emotions were becoming unmanageable and imdiately used psychological suggestion on himself to dispel those negative emotions.
"Dark Street is a good place to base myself. I should find a way to rent a house there and then explore slowly."
With his mind made up, Gu Yi headed towards Dark Street.
...
In the real world.
"This superisor talks just like our company's boss."
"I don't know why, but I feel like this dungeon has beco too realistic, so realistic that I think adventurers can't possibly complete the mission."
"There's no weird power in this dungeon, but I feel this might be the most hopeless one. Because I can't see a glimr of hope for a turnaround. Goodbye, brothers, I've decided to commit suicide."
"Hey, don't think like that, upstairs!"
"Quick, call the police!"
"No need to call the police, the guy just now is from the kimchi country, their country is now in a state of anarchy, the police can't save people in ti."
"It's over..."
The barrage was in an uproar.
It's only the first day of the dungeon, and adventurers from over a dozen countries have failed. Most people die shortly after leaving the spawn point.
Previously, the weird powers that invaded reality had physical forms, but this ti's weird power is an intangible ntal pressure.
It causes the people of the failing countries to completely lose their will to live, with suicide rates soaring unprecedentedly. It also utterly destroys people's expectations for life, especially those living at the bottom, who are less able to resist this pressure.
This weird power erodes not only the lower class but also the so-called elite class. The social elite beco more irritable and prone to anger, with a noticeable increase in the cri rate.
Overnight, cases of arson, r@pe, and murder by the elite class surged. In a small country in Eastern Europe, even the police have completely given up, going on strike, and the governnt building is now left with only two pillars.
At this point, thirteen countries have entered a state of anarchy.
Violent conflicts have broken out at the borders of the Dragon Country and the small countries it borders, and the situation is escalating.
Although there are still a dozen or so adventurers alive, the whole world has fallen into dire straits, with the possibility of large-scale war breaking out at any mont.
The Dragon Country's strategy team is also in chaos.
No one expected this weird power to be so tricky.
Xi Wang knocked on the table and said with a smile, "Didn't I say it? If this world has an archetype, then the archetype is our entire human society. I bet fifty cents..."
"Don't talk about betting anymore."
"Alright."
Xi Wang nodded, realizing that Qu Kangping was a man without a sense of humor. It was better to remain serious in front of him.
Qu Kangping pinched the bridge of his nose.
"The President just called . The whole world is in a critical period now. We've already issued a joint statent with the Lighthouse Country, promising to do our utmost to ensure world peace.
Based on the current progress of the strategy, the Lighthouse Country is likely to fail the challenge, so we need to send so people to the Lighthouse Country to help them resist the weird invasion.
If the Lighthouse Country falls into anarchy due to the weird invasion, a world war is very likely to break out, and then it would really be the end of the world."
Due to the weird invasion, humanity has developed many powerful weapons. After Gu Yi returned from the last clearance, he also replicated a lot of materials from the Wapeng School library, which advanced human technological theories significantly.
Wars in the age of the weird powers would be ten tis more terrifying than nuclear wars.
If a large-scale war really breaks out worldwide, within a month, there will no longer be any life on Earth. And a month is the ti adventurers need to complete the challenge.
Everyone felt the heavy atmosphere after hearing Qu Kangping's words.
Since the invasion of the weird world, humanity hasn't experienced an international war for decades, with most fights being only against fanatics.
As the shadow of war looms again, the usual smiles and jokes are gone.
Xi Wang cracked a smile and raised her hand, saying, "Hey, guys, don't be so tense. Let's make a bet. Our Gu Yi will definitely achieve a perfect clearance."
"I said, don't ntion betting in front of ." Qu Kangping shook his head and left the eting room. "I'm going to have a video conference with the President. You continue working."
Xi Wang watched Qu Kangping's back, whispering to a colleague, "Has the team leader always been like this? Can't take a joke? Or is he deliberately putting in my place? Why do I feel he's acting strange?"
"He wasn't like this before," the colleague shook their head. "Maybe the death of Brother Ah Jian hit him too hard. The punishnt from above was severe, and now he's also waiting for an opportunity to redeem himself. Maybe things will get better after this period."
"Who is Ah Jian?"
"He was the forr captain of the strategy team and also the person team leader Qu had the most hope for as his successor."
"Oh, I see."
Hearing this, Xi Wang nodded thoughtfully.
...
Dennis worked in the mine for a full 10 hours before leaving with his coworkers. He could earn about ten years of sentence reduction per hour, and he didn't have to pay for the rental of the breathing apparatus, so he earned over a hundred years of sentence reduction today.
However, the dungeon requires adventurers to reach at least second-class citizenship within a month, with a one million-year sentence, aning Dennis would have to dig in the mine for 10,000 days without eating or drinking.
At this rate, Dennis definitely cannot clear the dungeon.
Dennis looked at his coworkers and grabbed those who had bet with him.
"Guys, I have a question."
"What's up?"
"Is there any fun place around here?"
