Chapter 33 Workers Chapter 33 Workers
Pushing open the door, noisy voices came like a tide, and the spectacular scene of the Samsara Paradise appeared before Lin Yi's eyes.
His eyes passed through the bustling crowd and fell on the buildings of various shapes.
Some buildings are made of metal, flashing a cold light; some are made of bricks and stones, revealing a simple and solemn atmosphere; and some buildings seem to be formed by some kind of creature, with liquid oozing from the surface from time to time, appearing mysterious and weird.
The existence of these buildings has created a series of crisscrossing streets in the Samsara Paradise.
On both sides of the street, people in all kinds of strange costumes came and went, some wearing full body armor, some holding magic wands, giving Lin Yi the feeling of suddenly entering a comic convention.
Lin Yi even saw someone sitting directly on the street with a carpet in front of him filled with various items, and he was selling them enthusiastically.
Lin Yi looked up and saw that the sky above the Samsara Paradise was covered by a milky white film, like an upside-down bowl, wrapping the entire paradise.
The ground under my feet is a light yellow gelatinous substance. Although it is not particularly soft, it is very smooth and gives people a peculiar touch.
The area of the Samsara Paradise seemed endless. Lin Yi looked into the distance but still could not see the end.
Looking away, Lin Yi began to carefully search the stalls on both sides of the road.
The stalls displayed a variety of items, from weapons to armor, from potions to ores, and even some strange skill books.
The prices of these items vary, some can be purchased with just a few Park Coins, while others require thousands or even tens of thousands of Park Coins.
However, the more expensive the item, the more contractors gathered around. It seemed that even after arriving at the Samsara Paradise, everyone's mentality of watching the fun had not changed.
Here, there is nothing that is not sold, except what you can't think of.
Lin Yi's attention was inadvertently attracted to a stall, which was filled with Viagra.
There was a constant stream of people gathering around the stall. From time to time, someone would stop and ask in a low voice about the price before completing the transaction. I didn't expect that Viagra would be so popular in the Samsara Paradise.
"Life recovery potion, 1,000 Paradise Coins, 20% off for three or more bottles."
"I want protection from the big boss at a high price, the price is negotiable."
In addition to busy transactions, the market is also flooded with various information seeking to form teams.
Some people shouted loudly looking for like-minded partners, while others stood silently by, holding signs with information asking for team formation.
Lin Yi remembered that at that time, the public screen of the game was also full of messages asking for team formation, trading, and chatting, and now these scenes were actually reproduced in reality.
Wandering around the market, Lin Yi would squat down from time to time to bargain with the vendors.
Although he didn't buy much in the end, the familiar market atmosphere gave him an unprecedented sense of stability.
Just when Lin Yi was strolling around and forgetting himself, several girls suddenly came into his sight and brought him back to reality from his reverie.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Yi's tone was a little alert, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Those girls felt the dangerous aura emanating from Lin Yi and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
One of the girls mustered up the courage to come forward and explain: "Don't get me wrong, we are just workers. We want to ask if you need a tour guide."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
He looked up and down at the girls in front of him and found that they were all wearing the same uniform and had work badges on their chests. They looked like formal tour guides.
"Worker?" This word sounded unfamiliar to Lin Yi, but based on the girls' explanations and attire, Lin Yi roughly guessed the meaning of worker.
After making sure that these girls were not here to cause trouble, Lin Yi's expression gradually returned to normal.
However, he remained alert in his heart. Lin Yi was completely unfamiliar with the Samsara Paradise. If he was cheated by accident, it would be a real joke.
"Okay, relax, Contractor. It's absolutely safe in Samsara Paradise. You don't need to be so nervous."
One of the girls smiled and spoke to Lin Yi, trying to ease his tense nerves.
Although Lin Yi tried his best to make his expression look natural, several girls still felt a thorn in their sides.
They could clearly feel the dangerous aura and vigilance emanating from Lin Yi, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.
However, the girls didn't care about this.
They knew that low-level contractors who had just returned from the derivative world often had a kind of persecution complex, always feeling that the people around them wanted to harm them.
This kind of mentality is not uncommon here, so they did not pay too much attention to Lin Yi's abnormal behavior.
Led by several girls, Lin Yi came to a busy beverage shop.
The decoration inside the store is simple and warm, with various cute stickers and hand-painted patterns on the walls, creating a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.
The owner is a young woman who greets every customer with a smile on her face.
When she saw several girls bringing Lin Yi in, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. It was obvious that she was familiar with these girls.
The young woman handed Lin Yi an exquisite list, which listed a variety of drinks with unique flavors.
"A glass of lemonade, thank you." Lin Yi glanced at the list and made a quick choice.
While waiting for the drinks, Lin Yi turned his attention to the girls around him.
One of the girls said, "Let me make it clear in advance that our service is not free. We will help you understand the Samsara Paradise, and you pay us Paradise Coins. The price is very fair, 20 Paradise Coins will be enough."
After listening to the girl's words, Lin Yi had a clearer understanding of the purchasing power of Paradise Coins.
Obviously, in the Samsara Paradise, the value of Paradise Coin is very high.
Except for supplies related to the contractors, the prices of other daily necessities are very cheap.
For example, the glass of lemonade he just bought only cost 0.4 Paradise Coins.
The most expensive drink on the list does not exceed 1 park coin.
This also indirectly reflects the preciousness and scarcity of Paradise Coins.
Lin Yi nodded slightly to show his understanding, and did not feel dissatisfied or disgusted about having to pay the fee.
There is no free lunch in this world. If you want to get help and service from others, you need to pay the corresponding price.
Moreover, the price was not too high for him and was well within his affordability.
"Okay, but the information must be accurate, otherwise don't blame me for causing trouble later."
"Don't worry, we workers are not like you contractors, with all your tricks." The girl chuckled and gently stirred the coffee in her hand, as if she was using this method to relax the atmosphere. "The information we provide is absolutely accurate."
After understanding the transaction method of Paradise Coin, Lin Yi transferred 20 Paradise Coins to the girls in front of him.
Hopefully the information they provide will be worth it.
"Then let me explain to you what a worker is." One of the girls began to explain in detail.
It turns out that there are mainly two groups in the Samsara Paradise: employees and contractors.
As the name suggests, employees are the service personnel working in the Samsara Paradise. They are responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the Samsara Paradise.
The contractors are the thugs who fight in the derivative world to earn the source of the world for the Samsara Paradise.
The girl continued to explain: "The so-called workers are actually contractors who failed to change jobs. However, workers also have their own advantages. For example, the frequency of entering the derivative world is much lower than that of contractors. They only need to enter the derivative world about once every two months."
This can be considered as a kind of compensation for the workers. Although they may not be able to compare with the contractors in terms of strength, they can at least enjoy a relatively stable life.
