Real Players of the Department of Life

Chapter 1 System and Gold Diggers

The torrential rain pounded on the roof, making a crackling sound.Muddy rainwater flowed down from the eaves in a line, shrouding the night in haze.

Zhang Cishun was startled up from his sleep, his heart shrank suddenly as if waking up from a nightmare, and then he slowly relaxed in the familiar environment.

It was a shabby enough room, not even a bed.

Zhang Cishun was lying on the ground. Under him was a blanket that was not very soft and whose original color could no longer be seen...?
In another corner of the room, a short figure curled up, looking out of the window with a heavy worry in his gaze.

rainy tonight
This is not good news.

"What time is it... Diao... Jing Shuo?" Zhang Cishun asked.

The eleven or twelve-year-old child whom Zhang Cishun called Jing Shuo was originally not called this name. This name was a name he picked up during a "gold digging" one time.

Along with this name, there is also a defective identity core.

Diao Zai repaired it, so it has a new name.

"It's past seven o'clock, it's not time yet." Jing Shuo turned around.

The immature face looked extremely thin in the thunder that came in from time to time.

"There's still half a bowl of porridge, do you want to warm it up?"

Zhang Cishun shook his head: "You rest, I'll do it myself."

With that said, he turned up from the bed.Jing Shuo was not polite, and when Zhang Cishun left the bed, he got in.

The small body curled up on the colorless blanket, grabbed a corner of the blanket with his hands, and wrapped himself in it skillfully.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The temperature in the room is by no means warm, but it's not particularly cold either.After Zhang Cishun put on all his stained clothes, he prepared meals for himself on the simple stove built in the southwest corner of the room.

--Porridge
Only porridge.

Zhang Cishun has nothing to dislike, maybe...he was a little uncomfortable when he first came to this world, but within a month, he has been able to accept everything calmly.

"what--"

Jing Shuo yawned in the bed, then suddenly remembered something, stretched his arm out of the bed, and skillfully took off the 'wrist watch' on his wrist.

That is the device loaded with the identity core of 'Jing Shuo'.

With it, you can enter and exit some places that do not require face synchronization authentication.

"At night...be careful."

"knew."

……

35:[-]
The torrential rain outside the window is still not getting smaller

Zhang Cishun, who had already drank all the bowl of warm porridge, put Jing Shuo's watch on silently, and then carefully cleaned up those rough flying wires.

This is the masterpiece of Jing Shuo, who has outstanding talent in equipment maintenance.

But in terms of maintenance style, it's very rough.

Zhang Cishun stared at the watch, and soon, a panel that only he could see appeared in front of his eyes.

"Full-function watch [incomplete]"

"Identity module: 'Jing Shuo';
Network module - damaged;
The rest of the modules - missing;"

"The original version of the full-featured watch equipped with the α operating platform is 1.17, and it is now the factory version 1.0. Relevant version upgrades need to be performed online."

"The core module adopts new manufacturing technology and is researched and produced by [Chenxi Technology]..."

"Shell Craft: Grade G."

"Core technology: B grade."

「其余属性：自重——113g；核心发热——73°C；散热负载——0%（检测到散热系统缺失，请尽快前往指定地点进行维修。）；供能——3%；冗余空间——69%。」

"Assembly accuracy - 73%; core system response efficiency - 46%."

"Additional attributes: none"

"Working Status: Good!"

"Rating: F-"

Goldfinger!
Yes, Goldfinger.

And to be precise, Zhang Cishun personally typed out this cheat one code at a time before he crossed over.

This was originally a life deputy job system in a game, but now, it has traveled through time with Zhang Cishun.

Some rejoice, some regret.

If I had known that I was destined to travel through this experience, I would not be in charge of writing the code for the life system in the game. Wouldn’t it be nice to write a combat system as my cheat?
"Ugh……"

With a sigh, Zhang Cishun withdrew his attention.

Looking back at Jing Shuo, who was immersed in sleep, he put on the poncho silently, and walked into the rainstorm.

Of course, he didn't forget to bring his weapon - a sharpened steel bar.

The night is always inclusive

be it good or evil
-

The gold panning spot in City 88 is located near the barrier in the lower urban area, nearly 10 minutes away from Jing Shuo's 'home' where Zhang Cishun is now staying.

When he arrived here through heavy rain and muddy ground, many people like him were already standing in front of the rusted iron gate.

His arrival did not attract too many people's attention, and everyone was not in a good mood - because of the rain.

There is no shelter for them here. Everyone is in the same situation.

Thin raincoats can cover some rain, but they can't stop the cold wind. Zhang Cishun saw that many people were squatting on the ground and curled up as much as possible to keep warm.

But even so, their bodies were still trembling uncontrollably.

Some old gold diggers have their own small groups, they gather together like polar penguins.

Zhang Cishun silently found a corner, imitating those people, curling up his body.Then, while waiting for the time to reach eight o'clock, he looked at the garbage mountain that was faintly visible in the rain through the gap in the iron gate.

是 的
this is a dump

But for people like them, it's a gold rush.

The garbage produced in the upper city and the inner city every day will be dumped here at a fixed time, and these waste products in the eyes of the people in the upper city will no longer be waste products here.

Just like the watch he is wearing now, although its function is defective, the parts are all bought here by Jing Shuo one by one.

"call……"

Zhang Cishun exhaled, and white frost formed in the cold air.

Even though I was wearing a raincoat, it was still uncomfortable to be exposed to the heavy rain.

at last
After five anxious minutes passed, a garbage truck staggered into his sight.

Almost at this moment, all the gold diggers stood up.

They gripped their weapons—hooks, wooden clips

Silent and silent, but secretly competing.Everyone was crowded together and blocked in front of the iron gate, just like the subway rush hour scene that was far away in my memory.

But everyone also has reason - at least they didn't dare to block the track of the garbage truck.

Because——they really kill people.

The garbage truck was getting closer and closer, wobbling and showing no intention of slowing down. When it was about ten meters away from the iron gate, a sensing device similar to a monitoring probe at the highest part of the iron gate sent out a beeping sound. After the sound, the door opened automatically.

nobody moves
Only after the car slowly drove into it, they swarmed up, crowded each other and even entered secretly.

Zhang Cishun stood out from the crowd, looking out of place.

After all the troops had entered, he took a step forward and walked in with the same few wandering people.

The heavy rain buried the smell of garbage, but Zhang Cishun was more willing to endure the stench than the chill of the dirty garbage water seeping into his shoes.

现在
The garbage mountain is close at hand.

But they can't work yet

Because today's garbage has not been dumped yet.

then
While everyone was waiting for the garbage truck to dump new garbage, they looked at the figure who jumped out of the car and walked towards them.

It was a man with a face full of flesh, with a centipede-like wound stretching from the corner of his right lip to the base of his ear.There are rumors that he snatched it and cut it out with a knife made of chopsticks while he was not paying attention.If the doctor's suture operation was not very successful, his mouth would really be grinning to the corner of his mouth now.

Zhang Cishun didn't know his name, but his nickname was quite famous among the gold diggers.

Centipede
He is famous not because he is ruthless, but because he is smart and ruthless.

While the prices of 'tickets' at other gold panning sites are increasing day by day, he still maintains the price of [-] credit points per person per day.

What kind of asset level is fifty credit points?

It's enough for him and Jing Shuo to save half a month's porridge.

This is a very high price, but in a horizontal comparison, it looks extraordinarily low.

The one before him had offered a hundred points more, and he died in a riot.The first thing Centipede did when he took over the new job was to stop the garbage trucks that were supplying to the North City garbage dump every day, and then one day, he led people to communicate with the old group of gold diggers entrenched here all night.

after that night

The rules for the Beicheng garbage dump have been set.
No matter who came to the Beicheng garbage dump to pan for gold, they only charged [-] credits for the ticket.

The centipede's regression has given some people the wrong idea, and they want to go further and reduce or even waive the entrance fee again.

then
The centipede once again stopped the supply of garbage at the Beicheng garbage dump for three days.

those three days

There are many corpses in the garbage mountain at Beichang garbage dump.
