I Became a God in a Horror Game - Chapter 174

[Chapter 164 The Rose Factory]

“After the collection is complete, we will find you in the tent to get roses before dawn.”

“Remember, the picked petals should not be stolen by the refugees around the flower fields who covet dry roses.” The workers warned them sternly, “If If you are stolen, not only will you not be able to get a drop of perfume, but you will be fired from the factory, and you will end up in the same fate as those refugees! Do you understand?”

After speaking, the worker handed Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi two Linen pockets to hold the flowers, and a pair of muslin gloves for picking roses to prevent odors from contaminating human hands, a pair of long tweezers for picking up fallen buds, and a specific wage form.

The worker shoved the salary form to Bai Liu, and said proudly: “You will be fired and become a refugee if you don’t work for a long time. Our factory has a high elimination rate, and someone like me can be promoted to a processing worker. , they are all flower pickers who can pick 6 kilograms of roses in an hour.”

“You probably can’t pick one-sixth of mine, and this is most likely your last night in this factory. Enjoy Let’s have a taste of the original dry leaf rose aroma, and you won’t suffer – our flower field tent is the most expensive hotel room in the world, and I don’t know how many people are holding gold and want to stay for one night

. You are lucky…” The worker muttered angrily as he walked back quickly, “Last year, the yield of dry-leaf roses was not good, and too many people withered. This year’s recruiters have no tendency to suffer from severe blight and diseases, and they won’t steal roses from the flower fields. It’s not easy to find ordinary people in this area, the May Rose Festival is coming again, and it’s just when the flowering season is short of people, it will be your turn to recruit newcomers like you…”

“…I think my group is only for Recruit 985211 graduate students with a degree or above, have published more than three research papers on dry leaf rose, and graduate students with a SCI impact factor of 1.0 or above to pick flowers…”

Playing games all day as a student led to poor grades, Bai Liu, who graduated from Yeji University: “… …”

Liu Jiayi (reading), a second-grade student at a primary school with disabilities: “…”

Although my intelligence is not low, what the hell are you talking about?

Liu Jiayi held up two gloves that were about the size of her face, and looked up at Bai Liu silently: “Can you pick roses?”

– From the worker’s words, picking this dry-leaf rose is obviously a skilled job.

“No, I haven’t picked roses before.” Bai Liu replied succinctly, but he quickly tied the sack beside his belt, pulled up the sleeves of his white shirt, tied his trouser legs tightly, and put it on with both hands. With the thick cloth gloves like baking, he instantly changed from an urban white-collar worker to a country guy, and it looks like he is ready to work in the field at any time.

He looked at Liu Jiayi with a face [Why do you look so skilled?

], Bai Liu took the tweezers and explained naturally: “I cut hogweed when I was a child. Although it is two crops like roses, it should be harvested in a similar way.”

Liu Jiayi: “…”

Don’t take roses as Pig grass to deal with ah!

!

Bai Liu squatted down on one knee and helped Liu Jiayi roll up her sleeves, tighten her trouser legs, and then tucked her gloves down and put them on Liu Jiayi reluctantly. While doing this, he explained to Liu Jiayi calmly: ” Don’t worry about the accident for the time being, didn’t you realize that Tang Erda was not here?”

Liu Jiayi had already discovered it, but she didn’t understand why.

“If the person behind the scenes wants you to fight with Tang Er, then they should release Tang Er, a beast with powerful lethal power to you, at the beginning of the game, and quickly kill you who are powerless. “Liu Jiayi supported Bai Liu’s shoulders with both hands and raised her feet to let Bai Liu arrange her shoes and socks, but her immature face had a deep expression that did not match her age, “But he deliberately separated you and Tang Erda. , this is to protect you, why?”

“Because he designed this game stage not to let me be killed.” Bai Liu stood up and clapped his hands, he lowered his eyes and his tone was unclear, “but to make me capable Grab the weak point and kill the opponent.”

Liu Jiayi was taken aback: “It’s like in the last round of the game, you got Liu Huai’s soul first, and then you can deal with me, right? In this round of the game, it is very likely that Tang Erda will be sent to other flower fields. ——”

“——We will not meet until he thinks that I have the ability to kill Tang Erda.” Bai Liu lightly added Liu Jiayi’s words, with a sloppy smile on his face that seemed to be interesting. I mean, “After all, it’s just a simple feeding scene where beasts kill people. It’s far less beautiful than the Colosseum where two beasts have grown up and are still fighting each other.”

“Of course, there is another reason for him to do this, but I think you have already guessed it.” Bai Liu looked at Liu Jiayi and

Liu Jiayi had an uncontrollable chill running down her back, and she slowly said, “Because the audience also likes to watch this kind of development, if he is related to the system, he can profit from the system. , such a small TV trend is the easiest to get charging points and likes, and our various benefits from the audience will be drawn by the system…”

“Even if we die, all our benefits, including Souls will be taken away by the system…”

They are all just… the most behind-the-scenes person who freely releases them for people to play with and watch, to please the eye… just.

“So don’t worry about our life and death for the time being. The people behind the scenes won’t let me die easily.” Bai Liu took out the salary form from his pocket and sighed while showing it to Liu Jiayi, “It’s really a part-time job…”

The weight of roses and the corresponding wages are listed on the salary table.

Reference data: A dry leaf rose (not dried) weighs about 2g.

Picking 40 kg of dry leaf roses (with intact flowers and branches) can be exchanged for a bottle of low-grade dry leaf rose gas perfume with a concentration of 30%~40% and 35ml.

(Note: A bottle of low-grade perfume with a concentration of 30% to 40% can last for 4 hours on the human body)

[System prompt: Players unlock side quests]

[Side quest: Players collected 40 kilograms of roses tonight]

[If the quest is successful, players will be able to exchange for the first bottle of low-grade perfume of rose dry leaf gas, which can be used to relieve pollution and take the first step to promotion as a processor!

If the mission fails, they are laid off and exiled to the periphery, becoming refugees.

】

Bai Liu silently converted in his heart, a rose is 2g, then 40 kilograms of roses is…

“… 20,000 roses…” Liu Jiayi looked up at Bai Liu from the salary slip in disbelief, “I want us to pick 20,000 roses. Dried Leaf Rose only gave us a bottle of low-grade perfume that lasts for 4 hours?! Are they treating us as beasts?”

Bai Liu habitually glanced at Liu Jiayi: “Congratulations, kid, you have already understood the true meaning of part-time work in advance. ”

I also talk to my boss in the same way when I pay my salary every month.” Bai Liu paused, “Then I was fired by my superior, but I am not willing to do this kind of thing with extremely low cost performance. I’m not very interested. After I just realized the benefits of not working as a freelancer (referring to earning money in horror games), I didn’t expect that I would start working in horror games, and the salary was lower than before… ”

Bai Liu visibly began to mourning.

Liu Jiayi: “…”

Well, it seems that he is about to talk about his sadness…

But Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi returned to chat, and they still took the sack and left the flower field neatly.

The flower fields are densely packed with lush roses, and the rows of rose bushes leave a narrow passage about one person wide. The white willow is now moving slowly in this passage, picking up the roses on both sides with tweezers.

Bai Liu wanted to move very fast, but the bottom of the rose field was a layer of red mud that was quite soft and sticky. Stepping in was like stepping into a swamp. It was difficult to move even with smooth plastic boots. There is always a kind of fishy smell in the mud, not the smell of blood, but the smell of sea.

And the weird thing is that almost every fully bloomed rose here is exactly the same in size, color, and number of petals, just like someone pinching a rose and copying and pasting all the roses in the entire rose field. .

Bai Liu used tweezers to hold the root of the rose and lifted it up, and the rose was picked. He observed this freshly picked dry-leaf rose from a distance – this is a very unique kind of rose, at least Bai Liu I have never seen a rose of this variety in reality.

When the buds that have not been fully stretched are opened, the petals emerge from the root of a dark red almost black and purple, and the edge of the petals gradually becomes a kind of rose red. Different from the dark green oval leaves, the heart-shaped leaves and thorns on the stem of the dry-leaf rose have turned yellow when they are mature, and withered and dropped the moment they were picked – this is also the name of this rose. ‘s origin.

At the moment when the dry-leaf rose matures, all the stems and leaves that have provided nutrition will dry up, leaving only full and rich flower buds – just like the human beings who are addicted to its concentrated aroma, but cannot be supported all the time. Same.

It is a very aggressive rose that grows and produces a fragrance.

Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi walked in the flower field with one foot and one foot. After about an hour, they all stopped and walked towards the field.

Liu Jiayi raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, exhaled and handed to Bai Liu the sack full of roses she just picked around her waist, then sat limply on the ground and gulps her strength supplements.

It’s almost April and May in the game now, and the night is not very cool anymore. If you stay in a place where the plants are overgrown with a lot of humidity, there will be a sweltering heat that burrows into your neck and back, especially when they are still Moving deep and shallow in a swampy flower field to pick flowers is completely manual labor.
