I Became a God in a Horror Game: 381. How to own five buildings
Bai Liu opened his eyes.
In front of you is a forest of skyscrapers made of reinforced concrete. A ten-story building.
There are four-meter-wide roads or one-to-two-meter sidewalks between the buildings. Low street lamps stand on both sides. A large character: [Sunshine will welcome you].
The following line of slogan: [Chasing the sun, chasing happiness, the futurewaiting for you here! 】
Inside the entrance, there are bustling crowds walking on the street. Citizens wearing black, white, blue and gray overalls quickly lower their heads in numbness. This city named Sunshine Metropolis walks in small steps, and no one looks up. Looking at the sun that is almost covered by high-rise buildings above the head, no one is looking 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 player Bai Liu has obtained an important authentication item, a citizen ID card]
[Citizen ID card, every player’s income, expenditure, storage, and mortgage deduction are all through this card, one number per person, no more, no replacement, no transfer, no destruction at will, death on the spot Deregistration, citizen life, property, certification, and travel are bound for life. 】
[Card balance: 2700 yuan]
Bai Liu looked around and confirmed that he was the only one around.
It seems that other people should be put into another entrance. Bai Liu walked into the passage holding his ID card, and a toll collector poked his head out with a tired face. There was still a bucket of unfinished food on his table. The other side: "Are you going to enter the city?"
"The entry fee is 1200." The toll collector stretched out his hand and shook, "Bring the ID card."
Bai Liu paused for a moment, then handed over the ID card, and the toll collector swiped it on the computer, then turned around in doubt with a huff: "Aren't you a resident of our city? "
"No." Bai Liu smiled politely, "I'm new here today."
For some reason, the toll collector's eyes became full of hostility. He measured Bai Liu up and down, and forced the ID card back: "Rural people are not welcome here."
"But it's true that villagers can come in, right?" Bai Liu didn't answer, and pointed to the toll collector's computer desktop, "I saw that villagers can register as citizens here. "
Bai Liu moved his eyes to the complaint number on the license plate hung by the toll collector: "If you don't follow the regulations, then I will complain to you immediately, and your work may be affected, so you won't Let me enter the city?"
The toll collector's face froze, and he took back the ID card reluctantly, and his tone was still stiff: "...the registered citizen fee is 1,400, a total of 2,600, and you have 100 left."
"You need to know when you enter the city. You don't have a house in Sunshine City. You are not a formal citizen but a temporary resident. You have to pay the land use fee to live in Sunshine City. It is 10 yuan per hour. You can directly pay your card. After the deduction of the money, the land use fee cannot be deducted, and your ID card will be marked red in one hour, and the patrol team will drive you out within fifteen minutes."
Bai Liu raised an eyebrow: "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 fee for your use of the land."
"Every inch of land in Sunshine City is owned by the five major real estate developers. You have to pay for every second you stand on it and use their land."
As he spoke, the toll collector showed a look of yearning: "Of course, if you buy your own house in Sunshine City, it's your own place, and you don't need to pay for it if you live in your own house." Land use fee."
"One hundred yuan, if you can't find a job, you can stay in Sunshine City for up to ten hours." The toll collector swiped Bai Liu's ID card from the side of the computer, and took out a copy of the ID card. The notice for entering the city] was handed over to Bai Liu together, with a contemptuous expression, "Here, take it and go in."
Bai Liu took a look at the card, and there was a line of embossed words 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 task—go to the job market today to find a job that suits your dreams! 】
Bai Liu went in with his ID card, and he could still hear the toll collector behind him complaining softly:
"The villagers have entered the city again, and they are coming to us to grab houses again. It seems that the housing prices of the real estate opened this week will have to rise, and the competition in the industry will also increase. It's so annoying..."
Bai Liu walked into this gray-toned Sunshine City, but none of the passers-by on the side of the road gave this new citizen who entered Sunshine City a look. Or to deal with all kinds of things, Bai Liu noticed that the same rural people who had just entered the city tried to ask these people for directions, but they were all dismissed impatiently and indifferently.
After all, it costs ten yuan an hour to stand on the ground above. No one wants to waste their time when they are spending money to help strangers.
Bai Liu took the [Instructions for Entering the City] and walked slowly on the street. While reading, he surveyed the surrounding scene from the corner of his eye. The busy people around him were out of place.
【Instructions for Entering the City】There are types of residents in the city. One is the type of residents who have successfully bought a house.
Residents of the [homeowner] type can enjoy public service discounts or discounts at different stages of medical care, education, social purchases, etc. according to the location, price, and type of their house. The land use fee starts from 10 Yuan per hour reduced to 5 yuan per hour.
The second type is the type of residents who have paid the down payment and are repaying the loan. This type of residents got rid of the title of temporary residents because they got a house, and were promoted to second-class citizens, and they were also called [housing slaves] 】.
Because the house has not yet been fully acquired, the welfare policies of [House Slave] are not as great as those of [Home Owner], and the land use fee has only been reduced from 10 yuan to 8 yuan, but [House Slave] A considerable advantage is that it is unemployed.
The main business of Sunshine City is real estate. Ninety percent of the income of the residents in the city comes from the five major real estate developers, and all the houses in the city belong to the companies of the five major real estate developers.
That is to say, if you want to buy a house, you can only buy it from the companies of five real estate companies. At that time, the top five companies will give you priority in recruiting you.
The last type of residents is temporary residents like Bailiu.
The entire [Instructions for Entering the City] is like a real estate agent's advertisement, which talks about the benefits of buying a house, the happy life of the real estate family, and the housing price without mentioning anything.
Bai Liu turned her face and looked at the back of 【Instructions for Entering the City】.
On the back of [Instructions for Entering the City] is a warning item:
Sunshine City Prohibition: Prohibition of renting houses in the name of individuals, collectives, and companies, prohibiting individual house sales and transfers, and prohibiting long-term occupation of fixed-location public land (such as sleeping on the street). Fines are formulated for specific circumstances, and there is no upper limit.
Bai Liu raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
Personal private house sales are prohibited. This regulation basically cuts off ordinary citizens buying houses from channels other than the five major real estate developers, and also cuts off the way for small real estate developers to start.
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 various forms of renting also cuts off the way out for those who do not buy a house.
People who can’t buy a house or rent a house can only find a place to make a living, but the first rule also cuts off the way out for this kind of people-prohibition of long-term Occupying public land at a fixed location for a period of time is equivalent to prohibiting you from staying in non-housing areas.
To put it simply, in order to survive in Sunshine City, there is only one way to do it - that is to buy a house from the five major developers.
Seeing this, Bai Liuji already knew clearly that this is a city completely ruled by open businesses, or in other words monopolized survival.
The strange thing is that, logically speaking, this kind of extremely squeezed people's living space should have a very low population, and the birth rate and marriage rate will also be very low, so there is no security for the population. Under the circumstances of their own survival, they have no 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 immigrants from the countryside.
And as long as the residents of Sunshine City enter, they rarely leave.
Bai Liu looked at the promotional slogan on the [Instructions for Entering the City] [A happy city with a marriage rate of over 50% for consecutive years! 】
This is completely against objective laws. There must be something in this city that he doesn't know yet that is affecting its 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, put it down, looked at the market-like place with so many people that it was about to overflow, and then glanced at the display board at the door - [Talent Market].
As soon as I walked in, there was a whole row of scanners and printers on both sides of the door, with [Face Scanning and Resumes Automatic Generating Instruments] written on it, and [Swipe card to print, ten yuan per time] next to it.
There is a long line in front of the machine, everyone holding their resumes and anxiously walking back and forth among the crowd, some squatting dejectedly in the corner of the hall to drink mineral water, and some just stare blankly Looking at the phone and waiting for a reply, the people in the toilet lined up outside, and there were hoarse cries from time to time:
"I don't have a job, they didn't want me, what should I do, I can't find a job!"
"It has dropped to more than 1,000, the written test failed, the interview failed, and I was ready to ask for me, but in the end they still asked for a real estate certificate from a family..."
This scene is so familiar that Bai Liu, who has experienced the talent market, has a subtle... feeling of discomfort.
