MTL - Mini-Games to Save the World - Chapter 40 Surprise

I am currently re-writing the first chapters of this story. They are quite rough and bounce around a lot and I can do better. At some point, I will replace these with the better chapters.Sometime in 2024 Aethon Books will publish the first volume of this story on Amazon, KU, and audible. This will mean the story will be stubbed. I will notify people far in advance of that.In the dystopian world of the future, life is rough when you live at the bottom. Jobs are non-existent. Far too many people live in poverty, crammed into huge buildings called Habitats. With no jobs in the real world, many people can only find work online in VR worlds as servants to the very rich. And it's getting worse. The old internet is unusable and hacked to pieces. The new system needs AI to run things, but all but one of them were destroyed. The last sentient AI is ordered to create a new game world so the rich can have a playground, and the corporations that rule the world can have a new global market place. Everyone wants a piece of the new game. The guilds are competing to be the first to find the dungeons and kill the biggest monster. The corporations are claiming land and putting in their online market places. Ozzy and his friends just want a paycheck.Four friends sign five year contracts as virtual serfs in a small village, and can't go adventuring at all to gain money. They don't have many choices. They can work as a blacksmith, barmaid and shepherd for all those years....or they can cheat and find ways to take advantage of the system and carve out a section of the game world for themselves, and earn a fortune in the real world.When they give you a mop and not a sword, you have to find the loopholes and change the rules.

She vowed to slap the small flat chest with a bang: “As long as there is a reward, there are no couples that I can’t persuade!”
System: “Do well, little girl.”

After crossing.
Hua Baihe looked at the man above him with a look of horror: “…No, this really won’t work for me!”
The system prompts: “The host is not allowed to fall in love with the target character.”

The man’s kiss fell.
Hua Baihe: “The system, listen to me, I was forced, and you asked me to do it.”
System: “…” I didn’t let you be the protagonist!

Edible instructions:
1. Decline to pick up the list! ! ! !
2. Easy and mindless bullshit, attack and accept are decided by the first time.
3. The CP in this article is always the same person, and all CPs are willing to be together! Occasionally a little fun! Don’t take it seriously!
4. I can accept only watching the first two worlds and complaining about another heroine, but I suggest to keep reading. The author does not write brainless logic. Of course, I suggest that I can’t stand the upper right corner. Generally speaking, I accept peaceful discussions, but scold me. I’ll kill you, I hope you know.
