Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 1880 Insufficient Balance

Considering this, he could take on most commissions. After all, alchemy, in reality, often differed greatly from one's imagination or descriptions.

This disparity sometimes led to mission failures, so the commission issuers wouldn't set the failure penalties too high. Even if there were failures, the loss wouldn't be significant.

The only trouble was the mechanical consultant's eighth reminder to Fang Heng, "Amanda's husband, you've accepted 11 missions simultaneously. Failing these missions will result in penalties. Are you certain about accepting this particular mission?"

Fang Heng sighed in exasperation, "I know, this is the eighth time you've reminded me. Please deactivate this reminder service."

"Alright, your related commission risk alert service has been disabled. Amanda's husband, your deposit has been deducted, you've received your current commissions, and your identity card has been leveled."

"Huh? Such an operation existed?" He thought.

Fang Heng's curiosity was piqued. "Based on this list, arrange the reward points in descending order for me. Remove the first 30% of the tasks, and then eliminate those that carry a failure penalty or have a reputation score higher than 5 points. Afterward, assist me in batch-collecting the tasks and devising the fastest completion route."

"Hello, we've assisted you in batch collecting the tasks. You've submitted a deposit of 3112 points. Your current points aren't sufficient to take on additional tasks. Here's your identity card and the room route form for the tasks you've undertaken. Please review."

"Thank you." Fang Heng nodded contentedly as he took the identity card and the form list.

"Let's go! Keep at it!" Fang Heng kept inspiring himself.

...

In a private artificial hot spring, after enduring considerable damage, the phantom shadow rat luxuriated in the hot spring.

Gu Qingzhu quietly savored the leisure and relaxation after the intense battle.

Soaking in the hot spring helped alleviate physical and mental fatigue.

Gu Qingzhu raised her hand.

Approaching her, a mechanical attendant asked, "Hello, may I inquire what you require?"

"I'll have a cup of jasmine black tea," Gu Qingzhu said, glancing at the phantom shadow rat paddling in the hot spring. "Would you like something to drink?"

The phantom shadow rat spun around swiftly, revealing its head above the water. "Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

"Yes, two cups, and two desserts," Gu Qingzhu confirmed.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Amanda, your remaining points aren't sufficient for this transaction."

"Hmm?" Gu Qingzhu was taken aback.

What was this lack of points about?

"Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"Yes, I'm certain. I'm sorry, Ms. Amanda, but your current credit balance is insufficient."

Gu Qingzhu opened her mouth, thinking about Fang Heng, who was linked to her supplementary card.

Fang Heng?

That was more than 3,000 points!

How could it disappear?

Where did all that money go?

Gu Qingzhu suddenly felt like she had been taken advantage of.

She wasn't wealthy. Points in the Library of the Myriad Worlds were hard to come by. She had painstakingly saved this money over a long period, bit by bit!

Gu Qingzhu glanced at the phantom shadow rat happily rolling and playing in the water. "Your master is something. He's spent all my savings. Get ready to work and pay me back."

"Squeak, squeak??"

The phantom shadow rat popped its head out of the water, looking bewildered.

Gu Qingzhu wasn't truly angry. Even if Fang Heng enjoyed himself, he couldn't spend that many points in the Library of the Myriad Worlds. From her interactions with Fang Heng, she didn't believe he was that kind of person.

So, what was the money used for?

Gu Qingzhu was even more curious. She looked at the mechanical servant and requested, "I need to know where the funds went. Give me a list."

"Okay, sorry, I need to update the information. Your husband just completed a commission, and your account received 255 points. This transaction can be completed. Do you still want it?"

Hmm? There were profits?

Gu Qingzhu was taken aback upon hearing this.

Why was there a profit?

As the mechanical servant spoke, it handed Gu Qingzhu the printed list of points. She took it, feeling bewildered.

Fang Heng's spending today was straightforward. Apart from some dining, drinking, and borrowing a book, which used a small portion of the points, the remaining 3,000 points were deposited for missions.

Looking at the packed list of around 40 commissions, Gu Qingzhu couldn't help but exclaim.

Did he accept so many commissions at once?

Was he out of his mind?

"Whoosh!"

The phantom shadow rat abruptly leaped out of the water and onto Gu Qingzhu's shoulder, gazing at the words on the paper with a tilted head, displaying an adorable expression.

It made no sense at all.

Gu Qingzhu flipped through the information form until the last few lines.

Just now, Fang Heng had submitted a project that was affirmed by the employer.

The employer gave a glowing review.

"Perfect solution! I never contemplated such a plan existed! Excellent work! I have a few associated research projects. If it's convenient, contact me. We can settle the payment in alternative ways..."

The employer even rewarded an additional 5 points.

So... Was Fang Heng making money?

Was he doing legitimate work?

Thinking about it, Gu Qingzhu crumpled the bill into a ball and tossed it aside, beckoning the phantom shadow rat over.

"Let's go. It's time for us to get to serious business."

...

Hua Weixing was a newly appointed instructor at the North District Central Academy.

This year marked his first involvement in the level evaluation.

In today's world, managing research projects was a massive challenge.

If there were no fresh results by year-end, the entire project might face cancellation.

He felt helpless.

The project encountered too many unsolvable difficulties.

Hua Weixing had given his all and continued to do so, exploring every legal method available.

"If this doesn't work, I'll have to seek help from the professor to find a way to postpone the project until next year. Then, I'll strive harder..."

Having completed today's analysis report and tomorrow's experiment plan at midnight, Hua Weixing was under immense pressure. He sighed deeply, and massaged his temples, preparing to rest.

Continuing at this pace would be too much for his body to handle...

"Ding-dong. You have a new email notification."

An email?

At this late hour?

It wasn't just him. Was everyone so hard-working?

Hua Weixing sighed inwardly and opened his mailbox.

The latest file awaited him.

[Message from the system: Dear customer of the Library of Myriad Worlds, your project has been completed. Please provide feedback within 12 hours. Delayed confirmation will result in hourly point deductions. No feedback after 48 hours will be considered mission completion.]

"Eh?"

Reading the email, Hua Weixing's heart skipped a beat.

The Library of Myriad Worlds.

He had invested considerable effort in the intermediate game, striving to complete a series of tasks before gaining access to the library.

Previously, he had merely experimented with issuing tasks in the Library of Myriad Worlds, just to see how it went.
