How Am I Still Alive?

The gray fog spread, and the world seemed to change its color.

In the midst of confusion, Ye Feifei walked in a daze.

"Is this a dream? Obviously I'm already lying on the bed"

He's weird, even unbelievable.

"...Could it be that I have unknowingly fallen into some kind of secret technique, or a vicious curse?"

Ye Feifei subconsciously recalled whether he had provoked someone, but since he has been working for more than a year, is he a complete newcomer, is he qualified to have an enmity with such a big boss who unknowingly captured him?

I have only been employed for more than a year. I work in a special private office. I commute honestly and diligently. I do errands for the seniors. I am still accumulating experience.

"That's right! That card! That sales card!"

At this time, Ye Feifei remembered that when he entered here, he was playing with a sales card.

"If you are eager to get wealth and advanced help, we can provide help. The contact information is to chant the following words"

This sounded suspicious card, but in Ye Feifei's eyes, it was either a scam or a cultist.

".You can communicate just by reciting words? Even the gods can't do it. Where is this new type of deception?"

Originally, he planned to show it to the seniors tomorrow, but before that, when he was lying on the bed bored, he tried it subconsciously and read out the "sentence" above.

".I am willing to pay the price and enter the land of transactions."

【as you wish. 】

A voice suddenly sounded in his head, and before he could react, the world was turned upside down, and he came to this area.

In the fog, he was a little confused, a little dazed, and even a little scared.

One sentence brought me here, did I offend some god?

Spreading his hands, the black mist-like limbs gathered together made him wonder if he was plundered by some evil god in the state of his soul.

Where to trade? This is not like a trading place

"Huh? What's going on."

Suddenly, the world opened up, and the fog in front of me unfolded, and what appeared in front of me was a gorgeous conference hall.

Before he had time to react, he was suddenly pushed from behind and almost sat down on the ground.

"Don't get in the way! Fuck, there are more and more people, and the queue has been waiting for ten minutes."

queue? What the hell?

Ye Feifei stared blankly at the "ghost" who suddenly appeared behind, feeling a little puzzled.

The one behind is also a human figure gathered by black mist, the face cannot be seen clearly, but there is a vague expression.

That non-human but human-like posture seems to be the same as the current self.

But when the other party saw his sluggish appearance, he also paused, and then asked thoughtfully.

"New here? A pure newcomer without an introducer? First time?"

The young man nodded quickly, and then asked.

"Yeah, I picked up a card, I'm Ye."

"stop!"

The words that had just been exported were interrupted hastily by the other party.

The other party looked around to make sure there was no one else, then directly pulled Ye Feifei up and talked while walking.

"Don't reveal your real identity, this is the rule here."

Walking, walking, to the corridor outside the living room, where the walls are very eye-catching.

On the walls of the long corridor, there are countless masks of various kinds, including silver masks for masquerade balls, superheroes with children's toys, and even a large number of blank masks with nothing painted on them.

The "veteran" didn't go to get the mask, he took it out of his empty pocket, and took out a white mask with the Big Dipper drawn on it.

"You can call me 'Big Dipper', as an old man here, I can tell you what happened and help you get familiar with the environment here, but as a price, you owe me 10 points."

"Points?"

Ye Feifei was stunned, he had no idea what the other party was talking about.

"Look at your card."

card? Isn't that by your physical body?

Just thinking about it, Ye Feifei found that there was an extra card in his hand.

[Client Ye Feifei (others cannot observe). Credit Rating: Negative Equity (1 point of credit). Currently additional open function: remote spirit body login. Current account balance: -11 life points (the arrears equivalent is calculated, the interest rate is 15%/year)]

"What is this!? Why did I lose points?"

And at this moment, Big Dipper on the opposite side nodded, confirming that this person was indeed a newcomer.

"It's normal to lose 11 o'clock. 10 o'clock is the fee for you to enable the remote login function, and 1 o'clock is the ticket, which can be used 10 times."

As he spoke, he casually took off a mask from the wall and threw it to the other party.

"Put it on, although no one knows who you are in this state, but if you don't even have a code name, future transactions will be troublesome."

Ye Feifei took the mask, and before he had time to react, he was dragged downstairs by the other party.

But as soon as he went downstairs, he was shocked.

The empty hall stretches as far as the eye can see, brightly lit as if it were daytime.

There is a hall and a small room, and the sofa wall divides into small rooms, in which some people seem to be talking.

The place with the most people is a trading bar, where at least dozens of masked black mist people are communicating and buying and selling.

As for why you know it's a business at a glance? In the hall, there are the most roadside stall-like decorations, and all kinds of messy items on it, which are too conspicuous.

"Welcome to the 'Trading Place', this is a free market, where everything can be traded."

Ten minutes later, under the leadership of Beidou, Ye Feifei became familiar with the rules here.

In fact, it is very simple and direct, anonymous transactions.

Services, commodities, and even talents can be traded. When Beidou said that "natural abilities" can be traded, Ye Feifei didn't believe it at all.

He was dumbfounded until he saw the huge transaction column and dozens of "ability borrowing contracts" hanging on it.

The sound of the rules is the most direct manual. Just by touching it, Ye Feifei knows that all of this is true. Here, it is really possible to buy and sell the right to use natural abilities.

"This is too exaggerated. Although it is only three times, it is simply outrageous on the tactical level."

"It seems to be the power of the contract of the contractor, plus the power of attorney made by the local 'transaction' rules." Beidou explained a few sentences, this is the standard answer after discussion among newcomers.

Is it real? not necessarily.

Is the contract really useful? Not necessarily.

"Why don't you know? Don't you know if you try it?"

Hearing this, Beidou showed a wry smile, and the black mist under the mask could also simulate an expression.

"You have to be able to afford it. Look at the price."

"Price?! 300, 500, 1000! I'll go!"

"As far as the ability goes, the minimum starting price is 200. And only when someone buys it can a real contract be formed, and there can be no arrears."

Beidou sighed a little. This place seemed to be a secret place for new students. The oldest participants were only about a week old. He was in the second batch and worked hard to make money, but now he only had about 20 points.

But when he thought that he met a fat sheep today and could make a lot of money, he became excited.

"Come on, let the elder brother introduce you to the gameplay we have developed. There are not only abilities that can be traded here."

Ye Feifei looked around, but after sweeping the booth, he was stunned.

"Forbidden items?! Selling forbidden items here?!"

On the nearest booth, there were several taboo items. In my office, only the boss had a black iron grade, which was extremely precious.

"Heh, what is that? It's just a low-end product. Let me teach you what a real good product is."

Beidou is very dedicated, he knows that the transaction rules here are very honest, and he has to perform his "service" well, so that the other party can truly complete the transaction.

But when he worked hard to help the newcomers get familiar with the environment, when it was time to trade, he was stunned.

"What? The transaction is not established? Why?! Didn't you say that services can also be traded? He is a pure rookie, and he hasn't reached the limit of -30. He should be able to trade 10 points!"

And the cruel sound of rules shattered his extravagant hopes.

[There is a huge difference between the transaction target and the transaction amount. Life Bank suspects that the transaction is fraudulent or malicious, and judges that the transaction is invalid. Your (Beidou) service is worth about 0.00000002 life points, please re-determine the transaction amount and transaction target. Continuing with such unequal or fraudulent transactions will lower your credit rating. 】

Well, this set of three consecutive matches directly fooled this "veteran" who had only been in for three days.

He kind of knows why other "veterans" look at him with such strange eyes when he "helps" newcomers so enthusiastically. He is obviously not the first, nor the last. This "hidden rule" Perhaps only after suffering once and being warned once can one be detected.

But after the initial upset, he was secretly relieved.

In fact, he is also a newcomer. Since this trading place pays so much attention to rules and fairness, it also makes him feel at ease.

Only this time, the real "newcomer" didn't look at him.

Ye Feifei looked at the trading bar in a daze, and then pulled Beidou.

"What are you doing?!" At this time, his tone was obviously a little rushed.

"Didn't you say that no one can afford it? How did that person take a contract directly from the transaction column?!"

Beidou was taken aback, and looked in front of the trading bar, where a black mist man wearing a pigeon mask was holding a trade contract that had just been picked.

Not far away, a masked man was suddenly overjoyed and shouted!

"I'm rich! 400 are sold!"

Four hundred? This is obviously not an amount that a normal trader can come up with.

Only now did he recall that it was only a rumor circulated among the "veterans".

"In fact, there were people in the secret place of the transaction at the beginning. They seem to have come much earlier. They are the first core members, and the leader is code-named 'Peace Dove'."
