I Became a God in a Horror Game: 164, rose factory

"After the collection is finished, we will ask you to get roses from the tent before dawn."

"Remember, the picked petals should not be stolen by the refugees around the flower field who covet the dried roses." The workers warned them sternly, "If they are stolen, not only will you not get a drop of perfume, You will be expelled from the factory, and you will end up like those refugees! Do you understand?"

After finishing speaking, the worker handed Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi two linen bags for holding flowers, a pair of thick cotton gloves for picking to prevent the smell from hands from contaminating roses, and a pair of long tweezers for picking up fallen buds And a specific salary form.

The worker casually handed the salary form to Bai Liu, and said rather proudly: "You will be fired and become homeless after a long time. Our factory has a high elimination rate. The processors are all flower pickers, who can pick 6 kilograms of roses in an hour."

"You probably won't even be able to pick one-sixth of mine. This is likely to be the last night you stay in this factory. Enjoy the original aroma of dried rose leaves, 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 hold gold and want to stay for one night and have to wait for a reservation.”

"It means you are lucky..." The worker muttered angrily as he walked back quickly, "Last year, the yield of dried leaf roses was not good, and too many people withered. Ordinary people who steal roses in the flower fields are hard to find, and the May Rose Festival is coming again, when there is a lack of people in the flower season, it will be your turn to recruit you newcomers..."

"... I think that my batch only recruits 985,211 graduate students with a graduate degree or above, who have published more than three papers on the research direction of dry-leaf roses, and who have graduated from a paper with an SCI impact factor of 1.0 or higher..."

When I was a student, I played games all day long, resulting in poor grades. Bai Liu, who graduated from Yeji University: "..."

Liu Jiayi, a second-year primary school student with disabilities (current student): "..."

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

Liu Jiayi held up two gloves that were about the size of her face, and silently raised her head to look at Bai Liu: "Can you pick roses?"

——Judging from the worker's words, picking this dried leaf rose is obviously a technical job.

"No, I haven't picked roses before." Bai Liu replied simply, but he quickly tied the sack beside his belt, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, tied his trouser legs tightly, and Putting on thick cloth gloves that look like baking, he instantly changed from an urban white-collar worker to a country guy, and he seemed ready to go to work anytime.

He looked at Liu Jiayi with a face [Why do you look so skilled? ] with a questioning expression, Bai Liu took the tweezers and explained naturally: "I cut hogweed when I was a child. Although it is two kinds of crops with roses, it should be harvested in a similar way."

Liu Jiayi: "..."

Don't treat roses like hogweed! !

Bai Liu knelt down on one knee and helped Liu Jiayi roll up her sleeves, tightened her trouser legs, then pulled down her gloves, and put them on for Liu Jiayi to barely fit her hands. While doing this, he gave Liu Jiayi a calm attitude Explanation: "Don't worry about accidents for the time being, haven't you noticed that Tang Er is not here?"

Liu Jiayi had actually discovered it, but she didn't understand why.

"If the people behind the scenes want you to fight Tang Er, then they should release Tang Er, a beast that can kill you at the beginning, and quickly kill the powerless You are right." Liu Jiayi supported Bai Liu's shoulders with both hands, and raised her feet to let Bai Liu tidy her shoes and socks, but her immature face had a deep expression that did not match her age, "But he intentionally split you and Tang Erda, this is your protection, why?"

"Because his purpose in designing this game stage is not to let me be killed." Bai Liu stood up and clapped his hands. He lowered his eyes and said in an unclear tone, "It's to make me have the ability to seize the weak point and kill the opponent."

Liu Jiayi was stunned: "It's like in the last round of the game, let you get Liu Huai's soul first, and then deal with me, right? This round of the game is very likely that Tang Erda was sent to other flower fields, until—"

"—We won't face each other until he feels 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 Meaning, "After all, it's just a simple feeding scene where beasts kill people. It's far less beautiful than the Colosseum where two wild beasts that have grown up 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

An uncontrollable coolness shot up Liu Jiayi's back, and she said slowly: "Because the audience also likes to watch this kind of development the most. If he has something to do with the system, he can benefit from the system. This kind of small TV is the easiest way to go." Get charging points and likes, and the various benefits we get from the audience will be part of the system..."

"Even if we die, all our income, including our souls, will be taken away by the system..."

They are all just...animals released by the people behind the scenes at will for people to play with and watch, to please the eyeballs...that's all.

"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 pulled out the salary form from his pocket, showed it to Liu Jiayi while sighing, "It's really a part-time job ..."

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

Reference data: A dried leaf rose (undried) weighs about 2g.

Picking 40 kg of dried leaf roses (flower branches intact) can be exchanged for a bottle of low-grade dried 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 missions]

[Sub-question: The player collected 40 kilograms of roses tonight]

【If the task is successful, the player can exchange for the first bottle of low-grade perfume of dried rose leaf gas, which can be used to alleviate pollution, and has taken the first step to be promoted to a processor! Those who failed in the task were laid off and exiled to the periphery, becoming refugees. 】

Bai Liu calculated silently in his heart, one rose is 2g, then 40 kg of roses is...

"... 200,000 roses..." Liu Jiayi looked up at Bai Liu from the salary slip in disbelief, "We picked 200,000 roses and gave us a bottle of low-grade perfume that lasted for 4 hours?! Are they treating us like animals?"

Bai Liu glanced at Liu Jiayi as usual: "Congratulations, kid, you have already understood the true meaning of working part-time."

"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 boss, but I'm not very interested in doing this kind of extremely low-cost job. Things are not very interesting. 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... ..."

The white willow began to fade visibly to the naked eye.

Liu Jiayi: "..."

Okay, it seems to be talking about his sad things...

But Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi got back to chatting, and went down the flower field with a sack in their hands and feet.

The flower field is densely packed with roses, and the rows of rose bushes have vacated a narrow aisle about one person wide. Now the white willow is moving slowly in this aisle, picking up the roses on both sides with tweezers.

Bai Liu wants to move quickly, but the bottom of the rose field is a layer of soft and sticky red mud. Stepping in it is like stepping into a swamp, and it is difficult to move even wearing plastic smooth boots. And this red mud always has a kind of fishy smell that seems to be absent, not the smell of blood, but the smell of the sea.

And the strange thing is that almost every rose in full bloom here has exactly the same size, color, and number of petals, as if someone pinched a rose and copied and pasted all the roses in the entire rose field. like roses.

Bai Liu held the root of the rose with tweezers and lifted it up, and the rose was picked. He observed the dried leaf rose just picked from a distance—this is a very unique type of rose , at least Bailiu has not seen this variety of roses in reality.

Open the flower buds that have not yet fully stretched, and the petals emit a dark red that is almost black and purple from the root, and gradually turn into a beautiful rose red at the edge of the petals, the outermost one is light pink, and Different from the dark green oval leaves of ordinary roses, the heart-shaped leaves and thorns on the stems of dry-leaf roses have turned yellow when they mature, and they withered and fell off the moment they were picked—this is why The origin of the rose name.

When the dry-leaf rose matures, all the stems and leaves that provided nutrition for it will dry up, leaving only the full and fragrant flower buds—it’s like being addicted to its concentrated aroma, but you can’t get it all the time. The same as the human beings who feed them.

It is a very aggressive rose, grown and perfumed.

Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi walked in the flower field with one foot deep and one foot shallow. After about an hour, they both stopped at the same time and walked towards the edge of the field.

Liu Jiayi wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand, exhaled and handed the sack filled with the roses she had just picked to Bai Liu, then sat limply on the ground and gulped down the energy supplements.

Now the weather in the game is almost April and May, and the nights are not so cool anymore. If you stay in a place like a flower field where there are overgrown plants and heavy humidity, there will be a sweltering heat that penetrates your neck and back, especially They are still moving and picking flowers in a swampy flower field, which is completely physical work.
