Chapter 224 A World Where Only One Person Is Injured

"How many people do you need to find?" Mei Youqian asked, not daring to delay Chen Cong's call.

"Let's find two thousand people for now. Twenty per hour." Chen Cong quickly calculated. Two thousand people could open twenty Rooms simultaneously. Even if he died quickly, he could still form new teams.

"Okay, give me the group number. I'll have them all found for you in ten minutes." Mei Youqian said smoothly. He didn't ask how much money Chen Cong would give him after he found the people.

But he knew that Brother Hao, as he was called in the game, was not called that for nothing; he never shortchanged anyone.

Chen Cong hung up the phone and sent the group number over.

In less than ten minutes, two thousand more people had joined the group, and some had already started talking.

The conversations were mostly about what game they were going to play.

Chen Cong sent the game download link and some basic requirements directly to the group.

Then he directly transferred twenty thousand yuan to Mei Youqian.

He calculated it at ten yuan per person, so two thousand people were exactly twenty thousand.

However, it might take some time for these people in the group to download the game.

Chen Mo directly opened Tianlong.

Since he started trying Limit Survival these days, he had been playing Tianlong less.

As the number of Tianlong players increased, he found that his dominant position in Tianlong was slowly being challenged.

The most threatening was a Casual Player Alliance.

The alliance was full of dedicated players. They didn't buy equipment, but the equipment they obtained was not sold externally; it almost all circulated internally.

The leader of this alliance already had five pieces of Dragon Slaying Set.

It probably wouldn't be long before he could collect the entire Dragon Slaying Set.

But he could do nothing about it.

However, he heard that Tianlong was already developing a new equipment enhancement system, and the enhancement materials would drop from different wild monster BOSSes. Once the equipment enhancement system went online, he could use his money to widen the gap with those dedicated players again.

Upon entering the game, there were only a few people online in the guild. Most of them had been pulled by him to try out the new game.

The few online guild members couldn't even organize a team to farm large BOSSes.

So he simply went to the wilderness alone. His noble, limited-edition attire immediately attracted the attention of many players.

Not long after, he received many team invitations.

"Big shot, please carry us!"

"God-tier big shot, please take us newbies to farm monsters."

"Bowing to the big shot."

"……."

Looking at the messages on the team invitations, Chen Cong finally regained a sense of dignity in the game.

No matter what, in the game Tianlong, as long as he was willing to spend money, he could still lead in combat power.

But Limit Survival was different; it was not friendly to players like him who spent real money.

He had no way to improve his combat power, and every time he went in, he was basically killed by others.

As soon as he found some good supplies, he became a delivery man.

After playing Tianlong for about an hour, some people in the game group had already downloaded the game.

Seeing this, Chen Cong impatiently exited Tianlong and entered Limit Survival.

He shared the custom Room with the group.

Soon, one hundred players were gathered. This time, he switched from solo mode to squad mode.

He thought to himself, with three teammates, he shouldn't die so quickly, right?

Ten minutes later, Chen Cong looked at the spectator interface. His three teammates were looting his bag.

Only he was injured.

…………….

In the employee workshop, Luo Yuan took advantage of a break to chat with a small team leader.

These small leaders in the workshop were almost all from the earliest batch of workshop employees, and their trust in Manager Chen was the highest.

So, he decided to start with these people.

"Brother Chao, can I interview you? What do you think of Manager Chen's Clothing Factory?" Luo Yuan asked the team leader, Yu Chao, casually.

"Do you even need to ask? It's definitely great. I've worked in no less than ten factories before, and Manager Chen's Clothing Factory offers the best benefits, bar none."

"My wife and I have already discussed it. As long as Manager Chen doesn't dislike us, we'll be his employees for life." Yu Chao said without hesitation, his eyes full of admiration.

Both he and his wife worked at this factory. Before Manager Chen took over the factory, their wages were calculated by piecework. When there was a lot of work, the two of them would work from 7 AM to 11 or 12 PM, without a day off for a month, and their combined wages could reach a little less than twenty thousand yuan.

But when there was a lot of work, there were also times when there was less work. When work was scarce, their combined wages were good if they reached over ten thousand yuan.

Sometimes, when there was no work, the boss would even give them time off, and there was no pay for time off.

Overall, the money the two of them earned in a year, while enough to maintain their household, left them with virtually no free time. They spent almost every day working in the workshop, with no time to spend with their children, let alone go shopping or anything like that.

But all of this changed after Manager Chen took over the company.

What surprised them the most was the insurance. He and his wife were illiterate, having only attended school for a few years. When they came to work in the workshop, they never even thought about insurance.

However, not long after Manager Chen took over, he provided them all with five social insurances and one housing fund.

Then came the changes in wages and working hours. Wages were no longer calculated by piecework but were fixed.

Working hours were changed to 8 AM to 5 PM, with weekends off.

Although wages were changed to fixed wages, the take-home pay was higher than their previous average wages. And after he became a team leader and received several raises, his and his wife's monthly salaries, including all benefits, already approached twenty thousand yuan.

This wage was basically on par with his previous highest piecework wage.

But the key was that the current twenty thousand was the money received after paying insurance and deducting personal income tax.

Also, the current working hours had no overtime, and they had weekends off! This was much happier than the twenty thousand they earned from working overtime before.

Now they get off work at 5 PM, and there's a shuttle bus that takes them near their homes, so they can spend time with their children in the evening.

On Saturdays and Sundays, the family occasionally goes shopping or hiking.

The entire family not only experienced a change in their economic conditions but also felt happiness in their lives.

Before, they would often argue over trivial matters, but now it rarely happens.

With the one thousand yuan shopping card given by Manager Chen, the couple receives two thousand, and this shopping card is enough for their daily expenses.

Now, even if someone offered them forty thousand yuan a month to go back to working in a factory like before, he wouldn't go.

Because working at Manager Chen's Clothing Factory, he felt an unprecedented sense of respect.

Manager Chen treated these grassroots employees as human beings.
