At the beginning, they might have been very cautious, but after three easy months, few people could maintain such a mindset.

The nightmare that happened to Zhou Hao and the other two also befell other R-numbered players.

Qiann Yan and the others faced the same problem. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

By the end of the day, all R-numbered players had lost their credits and were even in debt by tens of thousands.

They all realized that they had been too naive.

They couldn’t react in time, as soon as Zhou Hao was chosen, the R-numbered players were selected one after another without any preparation.

Going from rich to having nothing, no one could feel good about it.

Fang Qing’s face looked unpleasant: "We talked about staying in a presidential suite, but now we have nothing. It seems credits can’t be saved, once you get them, you have to spend them."

The others agreed, it was indeed like that.

Who knew the game would be such a rip-off and snatch away the credits they had painstakingly earned all at once.

Now they not only had to start over but also had to repay debts.

What would they do about their lives next?

Most of them paid rent weekly, and now food, drink, and other expenses were a problem.

Qiann Yan noticed many experienced players passing by, showing mocking smiles at them.

In fact, when these people first joined, they had similar experiences, so this mocking wasn’t threatening at all.

Moreover, she was prepared; before this happened, she had already paid five years of rent.

"You paid five years’ rent?" Fang Qing was surprised, "How did you manage it?"

"Afraid of unexpected situations," Qiann Yan replied, "hasn’t one just happened today?"

Jing XiYuaan said at this moment, "I paid one year’s rent, so we don’t have to worry about the place we live for now. At night, Yanyan and Fang Qing can stay together, and Shanyang can stay in my room. I have stocked some food and daily supplies."

"Yanyan, did you buy some too?" Jing XiYuaan asked.

Qiann Yan did not deny it; in the original owner’s memory, these were prepared as well, after all, the original owner was smarter than Jing XiYuaan.

Lu Shanyang sighed as he sat in his seat.

Fang Qing looked at Qiann Yan and then at Jing XiYuaan, finally drooping her shoulders, looking very dispirited.

She had to admit, aside from having a longer lifespan than Ling Qianyan, she was not better in any other way. Is this what it means to be foresighted?

She slapped her forehead hard, why hadn’t this stupid brain of hers thought of that?

The days for R-numbered players were hard, yet the game continued.

From this day on, R-numbered players were selected much more frequently.

Compared to before, when they wished to be selected to play the game, now they were scared, fearing that something strange would appear on the displays.

Every time they played the game, several R-numbered players would end up in more credit debt.

Participants received rewards, yet due to their debts, credits were immediately deducted, leaving none even for food.

In just a week, most R-numbered players were pale and emaciated.

R-numbered players finally understood that the game was truly life-threatening, not just child’s play as before.

From now on, the game was going to fight them to the end.

Besides Qiann Yan and Jing XiYuaan, few had stockpiled food.

The other two squad captains in their team, Shi Cheng and Ma Sheng, knowing that Jing XiYuaan had stockpiled food, came over to borrow some.

Shi Cheng smiled wryly, "You warned us before to stockpile food, but I didn’t take it seriously and even mocked you in private, who would have thought it would come true."

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have definitely stockpiled a lot of food," Ma Sheng followed.

To come and borrow food, they were truly left with no choice.
