Chapter 2585: You Trying to Scam Me?

The school doctor uncle brushed past Ning Shu. The coldness emitting from his body made Ning Shu feel as if her soul was frosting over. It was extremely uncomfortable.

When would she be able to stop feeling so pressured by people? All he did was pass by her and her soul was already unable to take it.

Ning Shu sat down in front of the silver-haired man and asked, “What were you guys talking about just now?”

“Is this your last question?” asked the silver-haired man.

“Then I won’t ask.” Ning Shu shook her head. “Wait, you still owe me two questions. How did it become the last question?”

“You have three free questions, and you only have one left.” The silver-haired man peered at Ning Shu. “You trying to scam me?”

Ning Shu: …

I wish.

“What do you want to ask this time?”

Ning Shu touched the ordinance sea stone. Originally, she wanted to ask what the stone was used for.

However, she didn’t want to use up the question just like this.

Her current highest priority was to construct her own world in order to gain control of her own destiny.

Even if the ordinance sea stone was important, at her current level of strength, there was probably nothing she could do with the knowledge.

Ning Shu gave a dry laugh and said, “It’s been a while so I dropped by to see you.”

“Three hundred thousand points.” The silver-haired man said, “The bill started the moment you entered the room, and you even inhaled so much of the incense.”

Ning Shu: Ha. Haha. Hahaha…

“You can’t do business this way! What happened to business ethics?”

The silver-haired man said directly, “My business, my rules.”

Ning Shu paid the 300,000 points and left the consultation room.

She should stop coming to this bloodsucking place, it was seriously a scam.

A heartless and ruthless scam!

Ning Shu wandered around for a while and bought some gadgets, then returned to the system space.

2333 said to Ning Shu, “Think about it carefully, how many times have you been eliminated? The higher-ups have started laying people off.”

Ning Shu: …

It was really a bolt from the blue. Was she about to lose her job?

“What do you mean? You got news of layoffs?” Ning Shu asked, “What are the specifics?”

“I received a message from the central system,” said 2333. “Both the task-taker and the system will be done for.”

“The decision applies to both.”

Ning Shu sighed in relief. “At least I’ll have something to cushion my back.”

2333 sneered. “It’s going to be a complete elimination. Your soul energy will become a reward for other task-takers.”

Ning Shu almost peed in fright. “What are the guidelines?”

“If they were eliminated more than seven times or their task completion rate is below 60% several times both the task-taker and their system will be eliminated. For the task-taker to be this bad at completing their job indicates that the system didn’t guide them well, which is why the system will be eliminated as well.”

Ning Shu: “Have you ever guided me?”

“Haven’t I?”

“I can’t use the protective talisman?” asked Ning Shu. She had purchased those protective talismans with merit points.

“Those talismans are for temporarily preserving your life. However, they are trying to completely eliminate the people that aren’t doing their best in tasks. That’s why, think about it carefully. How many times have you been eliminated?” said 2333.

“It felt so safe to have those protective talismans as backup, but now the fails still have to be tallied,” said 2333. “Jesus, and after I finally recovered too.”

Ning Shu was also anxious. “Why are things so hard?”

“This isn’t a game, it’s not like you can restart. Once you’re eliminated, you’re gone. A protective talisman isn’t going to save you.” 2333’s tone was a little anxious. “How many times did you get eliminated? I remember you were eliminated several times.”

“I’m counting!” Ning Shu counted on her fingers. She probably hadn’t hit seven times. One, two, three…
