Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

A moment later, a sweet laugh came from inside: "Manager Zheng, have we got a new employee here again?"

The newcomer was also wearing a cheongsam, though not revealingly. She gracefully walked over to Manager Zheng and sat down, looking at Ye Yu and the others, saying, "The ones who came this time are quite good-looking."

"Then you should hurry up and train them properly so they can get on the job as soon as possible."

"Leave it to me, no problem at all." The woman chuckled again.

"I'll leave them to you. I have to go now." After saying that, Manager Zheng got up and walked towards the door.

The woman escorted Manager Zheng to the door, and after whispering a few words to him, they turned and went inside.

She slowly walked up to Ye Yu and the others, her face expressionless, but rather somewhat fierce, and said, "My name is Luo Hui, you can call me Sister Hui. Since you're here, none of you are going to leave. Stay here and you'll at least avoid getting beaten up a few times."

"Your main task is to be dealers and deal cards online, so spend these next few days learning dealer skills and how to entice more people to play cards online."

"Finally, we'll be responsible for receiving Manager Zhou's guests." As she spoke, she led the group upstairs to a reception room.

"Manager Zhou usually meets guests here. All you need to do is take off your clothes, put on a mask, and walk around in front of the bosses. If any boss takes a liking to you, then serve him well."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale instantly, and two girls were so frightened that they burst into tears.

Luo Hui was annoyed by what she heard, so she grabbed the stun gun next to her and started whipping them until her arms were sore and weak.

"You should be grateful that you're good-looking. If you can win the favor of some boss, do you know how much money they'll give you? You should think about your families. The money you earn can be used for them."

"And if you have the skills to make the boss like you a lot, he can take you away, and then you'll only have to serve him."

Hearing her words, Ye Yu sneered inwardly: "In the end, isn't it just like the brothels of the past?"

Luo Hui instructed the girl who had just been kicked by Supervisor Zheng: "Xiao Lan, take them to change their clothes, and then let them familiarize themselves with the environment. Make sure they remember where they shouldn't go."

Xiao Lan lowered her head, stepped forward, and replied, "Okay."

Luo Hui ignored everyone and walked out of the room.

After Luo Hui left, Xiao Lan said softly, "Come with me!"

She led everyone to the end of the second floor, opened the door, and found several identical uniforms for everyone to change into.

Ye Yu stared at Xiao Lan, who was standing silently to the side, for a while before asking, "Sister, are there usually many customers here?"

Xiaolan nodded without saying anything.

Seeing her like this, Ye Yu didn't ask any more questions and quickly changed her clothes.

After everyone had changed their clothes, Xiaolan led them out of the villa and into the building, explaining as they walked: "Floors 1, 2, and 3 are all office areas."

"The first and second floors are where business is handled, the third floor is where the dealers deal the cards and the canteen, the fourth floor is the rest room, and the fifth floor is the office of Manager Zhou and Supervisor Zheng."

After saying that, she looked at everyone meaningfully and said, "No one is allowed to enter Manager Zhou's and Supervisor Zheng's offices. If Sister Hui finds out, the consequences will be dire."

They entered the business hall on the first floor, which was actually just a very simple lobby.

The room was packed with people; despite the hot climate in the country, there wasn't even a fan inside.

Ye Yu asked, "What are they doing?"

Xiao Lan explained, "They first lure people into downloading gambling software, then let them choose their favorite dealer to deal the cards online. After they win a few times and get a taste of success, they will gamble more and more, and in the end, they will make them lose, and many people will go bankrupt as a result."

"The money they win will be distributed to various banks. As soon as the money arrives, they will immediately have hundreds or thousands of people go to nearby banks to withdraw the cash. This way, the police cannot track them down."

Hearing this, Ye Yu's expression turned icy: "As expected, it's all interconnected."

Xiao Nan glanced at Ye Yu and then stopped explaining. She checked the time and said, "It's lunchtime now, let's go straight to the cafeteria. You have to pay for meals and lodging in the cafeteria, remember to pay it back when you get your salaries at the end of the month."

"I was tricked into coming here and now I have to pay out of my own pocket! Humph! What kind of unfair contract is this?"

Hearing Ye Yu say this, Xiao Lan reminded her again: "It's fine to say these things in front of me, but you must never let anyone else hear them, otherwise..."

She may have been thinking about something terrifying, because her face turned pale.

Everyone lined up at the cafeteria for food. Ye Yu frowned as she looked at the food on her plate, which contained almost no meat, and asked, "How much is the food here per meal? And what about accommodation?"

"Meals cost 20 yuan per meal, and accommodation costs 100 yuan per day."

"What if we don't have the money to pay?" The group of people who had been silent finally came to their senses.

"If you don't have the money to pay, you can pay on credit first, and the interest rate will be calculated at 50% per day."

"What? This is even more terrifying than loan sharking?"

Ye Yu asked the question she most wanted to know: "Why are most of the people here Chinese?"

Xiao Lan wasn't surprised by Ye Yu's question. She replied, "Because in this place called Dianguo, the locals even have trouble getting enough to eat, so there's no way to make any money out of them, let alone know how to use these electronic products."

“China is different. Our country is very wealthy and places great importance on family ties. If someone is kidnapped, their family will do everything they can to raise enough ransom to bring them back. Therefore, kidnapping Chinese people is much more cost-effective than kidnapping people from other countries.”

"Another point is that drug use is illegal in China, so most Chinese people are very healthy, and their organs are often healthy as well, which can fetch a higher price."

"So many Chinese lives have been taken here, isn't the government going to do anything about it?"

Hearing Ye Yu say this, Xiao Lan also looked puzzled: "Actually, most of the people here came voluntarily. I knew a woman before who said she came illegally and that the border checks in China are very strict, and it took them a lot of effort to get here."

"How is she now?" a girl asked.

Xiao Lan shook her head: "She's dead. She served dozens of people a day. I asked her why she wanted to come here, and she told me that she had a lot of debt in China, her credit score had collapsed, and she couldn't make a living, so she came here."

"She also said that some of the people who came here with her were criminals. They wanted to try their luck here and see if they could become middle-class so they could live a carefree life."

Someone else asked, "If the majority of them are illegal immigrants, why are there so many people in China who say they were tricked into coming here?"

Ye Yu snorted coldly: "Because they could make a lot of money a few years ago, but now that the anti-fraud campaign in China is getting more and more serious, they are making less and less money. People who are paid to work in the park can't make money, so naturally they will beat and scold them. When they return to China, they will say that they were deceived in order to reduce their punishment."

"So that's how it is." Everyone understood.

"I have one last question," Ye Yu said.

"What?" Xiaolan didn't even look up.

Where is this water dungeon located?

Why are you asking about the water dungeon?

"I'm just curious."

Xiao Lan, upon hearing this, solemnly warned her: "Don't be curious here, and don't even think about running away, or you'll suffer a terrible fate."

"You all saw that man in the square today; their methods of punishing women are far more brutal than this."

Ye Yu smiled and said, "How could I possibly escape alone? I just want to know where the water prison is."

Xiao Lan didn't say anything more, only saying, "There's a small path on the left side of the building. The water dungeon is at the end of it."

After hearing this, Ye Yu nodded and stopped talking, focusing on eating.
