Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2337: Sand and Gravel Under the Tide of the Times

It is 1033:3 noon on March 5th, in the Xia Yin calendar, Yanjing time.

At the mecha training center in the second district of Kunlun City, a group of contestants from all over the world are wearing diving suits and conducting diving stress resistance training in a 30-meter-deep swimming pool.

In the lounge, several players who had finished training and were recovering their strength were communicating with each other.

"It seems that some clubs have reached cooperation with some schools to systematically train mecha pilots. If we don't get a good ranking this time, maybe we can go out and get a job as a coach."

"Liu Xiao, you're ranked over 200 in the ladder, and you told us that you want to be a coach. Do you think we would believe you? You haven't fought with tough guys like Xu Xiu and Zhang Long, otherwise you would probably want to win the championship."

"Lao Liu, doesn't your family have a few hundred million dollars? Do you still lack money to be a coach? Our game hasn't even started yet."

Liu Xiao glanced at the training pool not far away and sighed quietly: "My buddy has gone from being a rich second generation to a poor second generation. My father is keen on speculating in US stocks and has lost money over the years. Some time ago, he believed that urban construction in the United States would push up the stocks of related engineering project companies. After all, there are companies from our Daxia joining the cooperation, so he took a little leverage.

As a result, well, you should know what I have told you. US stocks have plummeted across the board in the past few days, and my buddy’s family’s position has been liquidated.

You say, if my dad had shorted like he did before, he might have gotten rich again this time, but he just believed the evil of the infrastructure maniacs in the United States and thought that he could make a lot of money in that rotten land of America. "

As he spoke, Liu Xiao continued to shake his head and sigh, looking a little depressed.

Although losing a competitor will make the competition less stressful, everyone has been training together for so long that there is still some camaraderie.

Seeing Liu Xiao in such a bad state, several good friends who had known each other since the qualifying rounds also advised him: "It's okay, as long as you get a good ranking in the competition, how much money can't you make? The prices offered by those clubs are getting higher and higher now. Players like us who have just passed the physical examination and can officially participate in the competition can get a guaranteed base salary of 5."

"Yes, with your level, if you sprint to the top ten, you can easily get a million-dollar annual salary. Add in other subsidies and income from live teaching, you may be able to make tens of millions a year, and over 100 million in a few years."

"Brother, you've been lucky for more than 10 years. Just because I lost money doesn't mean you won't have money to spend in the future. If it doesn't work, sell me your trump card mecha accessory. I'll take and give you some money back."

"Yes, brother, please sell me your whirlwind spray paint. I won't say it's too little. I'll pay you 1 yuan. Whenever you sell it, the money will be deposited into your account in seconds. You don't even need to go through the Lingjing platform to take a commission."

"Brother Liu, can I sell that colorful mecha trinket from the first season? I heard that some people's souvenirs can be traded. Just make an offer, around 2, and I'll take it."

Old players who have been playing "Omnic Crisis" for many years, even if their ranking is not high every year, as long as they work hard and diligently enough, they will eventually be able to get some rare accessories in the loot box.

As a high-level player who has always been in the top 1,000 in the ranking competition of "Omnic Crisis", Liu Xiao naturally has a lot of good things in his warehouse that can be traded. In the exchanges with these companions, if he is willing to clear out some of his accessories, he can at least make hundreds of thousands of dollars.

However, he still declined them one by one.

"Shit, there's a tycoon who's selling Ace Mecha accessories on the trading platform for 20. Over the years, only a few idiots have sold them. You want to buy it for 10? Get lost. I'd consider 100."

"Okay, I, Liu Xiao, appreciate everyone's kindness. I don't plan to sell these accessories. After all, they are the testimony of my journey over the years. If it doesn't work out, I can sell my products through live streaming. I also own a shop and a residential building near Xinke District that my mother gave me. I can be a landlord then.

Luckily my dad couldn't mortgage it."

Sometimes, the background of rich children can always inadvertently break down the defenses of other peers.

When his companions heard what Liu Xiao said, they clenched their fists.

"Xinke District, you mean Xinke District in Rongcheng City, right? The lowest price for a shop there is 30,000 per square meter, right?"

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, a residential building? You mean one, right? You bastard, I was worried about you for nothing, fuck, fuck! No, you have to treat me in the cafeteria today! I want to eat that paid Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! 999 for a bowl, and I haven't tasted anything like it!"

"I believed your lies. You reminded me of when Mr. Gu said he would go back to inherit the pig farm if his business failed. You bastards, you deserve to go bankrupt!"

Hearing his companions compare him with Gu Qing, Liu Xiao was very self-aware and sighed: "If I had Mr. Gu's ability, why would I still be here bragging and complaining to you all? Alas, time flies. With our current training intensity, I estimate that if I can't fight for a good ranking before I am 30 years old, I may not achieve much in the future.

You guys complain about my little money, but we all know that as long as the competition results are good, a 7-story residential building is not an asset that everyone will value in the future. "

Liu Xiao's emotion also triggered the emotions of his companions.

A young man who was as tall as Liu Xiao patted his biceps and said, "I feel that if my family hadn't been applying for Taoyao and other supplements for me to make my physique like this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand the current training intensity. As a mecha pilot, you may rely on your physique when you are young, and you may rely on your experience when you are older."

"You all seem to look down on the income of a mecha coach, but I heard from some foreign players not long ago that they said that if they could become a coach, their income would be ahead of 90% of the elites in their country. In fact, many of them want to return to their country to become coaches after the competition. After all, Jiuzhou Technology has not yet released an official coaching manual, and has not disclosed the personnel training and dietary standards."

"Now that you mention it, I remember some rumors. It is said that during the first Global Martial Arts Tournament in "Omnic Crisis", Jiuzhou Technology used the same standards as the moon landing astronauts and future warriors to train the contestants. Therefore, the pass rate of the first batch of contestants in the physical examination was extremely low."
