I Became a God in a Horror Game - Chapter 391

[Chapter 381 How to Own Five Buildings]

Bai Liu opened his eyes.

In front of him is a forest of skyscrapers made of reinforced concrete. The topmost part of the building is soaring into the sky, and people can’t see it when they raise their heads. As far as they can see, there is no building shorter than 30 stories.

Between the buildings are roads with a width of about three or four meters or sidewalks of one or two meters, with low street lamps standing on both sides, and the white willow is facing an entrance passage. Sunshine will welcome you].

Below is a line of slogans: [Chasing the sun, chasing happiness, the future is waiting for you here!

]

Inside the entrance, there are bustling people walking on the street. Citizens in work uniforms of black, white, blue and gray are fast, numbly bowing their heads and walking fast in this city called Sunshine City, no one looks up at the high-rise buildings above their heads. The building covered almost the sun, and no one looked at the white willow standing at the entrance of the city.

Bai Liu checked the pocket of his suit pants and took out a citizen ID card.

[System prompt: It is detected that the player Bai Liu has obtained an important authentication item citizen ID card]

[Citizen ID card, the player’s daily income, expenditure, storage, and mortgage deduction are all through this card, one per person, one number, no more than one application, no Replacement, non-transferable, non-disposable destruction, cancellation of death on the spot, and life-long binding with citizens’ life, property, certification, and travel.

]

[Balance in the card: 2,700 yuan]

Bai Liu looked around and confirmed that he was the only one nearby.

It seemed that the others should have been put in another entrance. Bai Liu walked into the aisle with his ID card in his hand. A toll collector came out with a tired face. There was still a bucket of unfinished instant noodles on his table. Is it to enter the city?”

“The entry fee is 1200.” The toll collector stretched out his hand and shook it, “Bring the ID card.”

Bai Liu paused and handed the ID card over. The toll collector took it and swiped it on the computer, hmm With a sigh, he turned around suspiciously: “Aren’t you a resident of our city?”

“No.” Bai Liu smiled politely, “I’m new here today.”

The toll collector’s eyes became hostile for some reason, he looked up and down Bai Liu, and shoved the ID card back forcefully: “You are not welcome here. Outsiders.”

“But outsiders can indeed come in, right?” Bai Liu didn’t answer, and pointed to the information on entering the city on the computer desktop of the toll collector, “I see that outsiders can register as citizens here.”

Bai Liu’s eyes Move to the complaint phone number on the license of the toll collector: “If you don’t act according to the regulations, then I will complain to you immediately, your work may be affected, so you won’t let me into

the

city?”

The toll collector’s face stiffened, and he reluctantly took back the ID card, his tone was still rigid: “…the registered citizen fee is 1,400, a total of 2,600, and you have 100 left.”

“What you need to know when entering the city, you are in the sun .

There is no house in the city, and it is not a formal citizen, but a temporary resident. If you live in Sunshine City, you have to pay the land use fee, which is 10 yuan per hour. Your ID card will be marked red, and within 15 minutes, a patrol will expel you.”

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows: “The land use fee? What is this?” The

toll collector couldn’t help but rolled his eyes at Bai Liu’s ignorance: “Of course it’s the cost of using the land.”

“Every inch of land in Sunshine City belongs to the five major real estate developers. You are using their land every second you stand on it, and you have to pay for it.

” , the toll collector showed a longing look: “Of course, if you have your own house in Sunshine City, it is your own place, and you don’t need to pay land use fees in your own house.”

“One hundred yuan, find If you don’t have work, you can stay in Sunshine City for up to ten hours.” The toll collector swiped Bai Liu’s ID card from the computer, and handed the ID card to Bai Liu along with a notice of “Instructions for Entering the City”. , looked contemptuous, “Well, take it in.”

Bai Liu took the card and looked at it, and there was a line of embossed characters in the lower right corner—【Sunshine City Temporary Resident Card】.

[System prompt: Congratulations to player Bai Liu for officially entering Sunshine City and starting the main quest—go to the job market today and find a job that suits your heart!

】

Bai Liu went in with his ID card, and he could still hear the toll collector behind him complaining in a low voice:

“There is another foreigner entering the city, and they are coming to snatch a house with us again. It seems that the real estate prices that will open this week will continue to rise. , the competition for employment has also increased, so annoying…”

Bai Liu walked into this gray-toned Sunshine City, but none of the pedestrians on the side of the road gave this new citizen who entered Sunshine City a quick glance on the street. Walking, talking on the phone, or dealing with various things, Bai Liu noticed that there were the same foreigners who had just entered the city trying to ask these people for directions, but they were all dismissed impatiently and indifferently.

After all, it costs ten dollars an hour to stand on the ground outside, and no one wants to waste the time they are spending helping strangers.

Bai Liu took the [Instructions for Entry into the City] and took a leisurely walk on the street. While reading, he looked at the surrounding scene from the corner of his eye, which was out of tune with the busy crowd around him.

[Instructions for entering the city] It is written that there are three types of residents in the city. One is the type of residents who have successfully bought a house. Such residents are called first-class citizens, also known as [homeowners].

[Homeowner] type of residents can enjoy different stages of public service discounts or discounts such as medical care, education, social shopping, etc. according to the location, price, and type of their house, and the land use fee is reduced from 10 yuan per hour to 5 yuan per hour .

The second type is the type of resident who has paid a down payment and is repaying the loan. This type of resident got rid of the title of a temporary resident because he obtained a house, and was promoted to a second-class citizen, and was called a “house slave”.

Because the house has not been fully obtained, the welfare policy of [House Slave] is not as big as that of [Homeowner] in all aspects, and the land use fee has only been reduced from 10 yuan to 8 yuan, but [House Slave] has a considerable advantage that is employment.

The main business of Sunshine City is real estate. Ninety percent of the city’s residents’ economic income comes from the top five real estate developers. All the houses in the city also belong to the companies of the top five real estate developers.

That is to say, if you want to buy a house, you can only buy it in the company of five real estate companies, and if you have a residence certificate of a house owned by one of the five real estate companies, when you are employed, the five companies will give priority to admit you.

The last kind of resident is the temporary resident of Bai Liu.

The entire [Instructions for Entry into the City] is like an advertisement for a real estate developer. It talks about the benefits of buying a house, the happy life of a family with a house, and no mention of housing prices.

Bai Liu turned over and looked at the back of the 【Instructions for Entering the City】.

The back of the [Instructions for entering the city] is a warning:

Sunshine City Prohibitions: It is forbidden to rent any house in the name of an individual, a collective, or a company, and it is forbidden to buy and sell houses by individuals, and it is forbidden to occupy public land in a fixed location for a long time (such as sleeping on the street). The fine is 100,000 yuan, and the fine is determined according to the specific situation, and the upper limit is not capped.

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows when he saw this.

The prohibition of private housing sales by individuals has basically stopped ordinary citizens from buying houses through channels other than the five major real estate developers, and it has also cut off the way for small real estate developers to become established.

That is to say, if ordinary citizens want to buy a house, they can only buy it from the five major developers.

The prohibition of all forms of renting has also cut off the way out for those who do not buy a house.

People who have no way to buy a house or rent a house can only find a place to make a living, but the third rule also kills the way out for such people – prohibiting the occupation of public land in a fixed location for a long time is equivalent to prohibiting you from Stay in non-housing areas.

To put it simply, there is only one way to survive in Sunshine City—that is to buy a house from the five major developers.

Seeing this, Bai Liu is basically clear, this is a city that is completely ruled by open merchants, or a city that has a monopoly on survival.

Strangely, it is reasonable to say that this kind of extreme squeeze of people’s living space, the population of cities with very low expectations should be very small, and the fertility and marriage rates will also be very low. People can’t guarantee their own survival. desire to reproduce.

But on the contrary, the number of permanent residents in this city has reached tens of millions, the birth rate has been rising year after year, and there are also a lot of foreigners immigrating here.

And as long as the residents of Sunshine City enter, few of them leave again.

Bai Liu looked at the propaganda slogan on the [Instructions for Entering the City] [Happy city with a marriage rate of over 50% for three consecutive years!

】

This is completely against the objective laws, there must be something in this city that he does not know is affecting the operation.

[System prompt: You have been wandering in the public area of Sunshine City for an hour, and the land use fee will be deducted by 10 yuan.

】

Bai Liu glanced at the prompt on the system panel, and after putting it down, he looked at the market-like place where there were so many people that it was about to overflow, and then glanced at the sign at the door—[Talent Market].

As soon as I walked in, there were a whole row of scanning printers on both sides of the door, with the words “Automatically Generate Facial Scan Resume Instrument” and “Print by Card, Ten Yuan per Time” next to it.

There was a queue in front of the machine. Everyone was rushing back and forth in the crowd with their resumes in their hands. Some people squatted down in the corner of the hall drinking mineral water, while others stared blankly at the phone and waited for a reply. When I

was lined up outside, I heard hoarse cries from time to time:

“I didn’t pass, they didn’t want me, what should I do, I can’t find a job!”

“It dropped to more than 3,000, the written test was passed, and the interview failed. , they were all about to ask me, but in the end they asked for someone with a real estate license…”

This scene was so familiar that Bai Liu, who had experienced the talent market, had a subtle… unpleasant feeling.
