I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 260 - 176: Sorry, All I Can Think About Now Is Making Money

"It's stabilized now."

Li Xiang didn't know who this woman was or what purpose she had in seeking him out, so he didn't say much.

"That's good. You're really impressive, not only did you rescue someone from Manager Wen, but you also made him treat you politely."

"I don't like beating around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it."

"I want to ask you to help me return to my country. I was deceived into coming here. If I don't meet the performance targets, it will be terrible. I know you're very capable. You rescued your sister; can you help me too?"

Li Xiang wasn't sure if she was truly asking for his help or if it was a test of his loyalty by the park.

So he didn't alarm her but refused: "Sorry, right now I'm focused on making money. My sister's illness is still waiting for treatment, and I need money, so I'm afraid I can't help you much."

"Do you know the suffering Shao Han endured in the park?"

Last night, she saw Li Xiang single-handedly take down a group of people in the rain, which piqued her curiosity. But this morning she heard from the guards that Shao Gang was Shao Han's brother, and he came to this place to rescue his sister and successfully did so. This moved her, so when she saw Li Xiang eating alone, she couldn't help but walk over.

In the park, if the management finds out someone wants to escape, it will be very terrible. Saying this was risky for her. She was gambling, gambling that Li Xiang hadn't been corrupted by the park yet, and his conscience wasn't lost.

Moreover, once she told him the suffering Shao Han endured, would he still wholeheartedly work for the park?

"You know?"

"Of course, when beautiful women come here, they're usually sent to the online gambling department. The less attractive ones go to the electric fraud department. When Shao Han first arrived, she was in the same dorm as me. Do you think I know or not?"

"Tell me."

"When she first arrived, she was sent to our online gambling department to practice dealing cards. At that time, she was unwilling and got beaten so badly every day that she was covered in bruises, except for her face because we needed her for live appearances. But after three months, she still couldn't make a successful deal, so Manager Wen locked her in a small dark room.

While she was punished, the park demanded money from her family as a ransom. At that time, we all thought she was doomed, but unexpectedly, she was lucky to have a brother who came like a hero.

I was lured here by promises of a high salary, told I'd only have to work four hours a day for a monthly salary of 38,000 if I met the performance targets set by my superiors. But when I met the targets and wanted to return home, the targets kept increasing in difficulty. I can't go back anymore. I don't want to stay in this hell on earth. Can you help me?"

Li Xiang's appearance was her hope of returning home. She desperately wanted to go back, so she wanted to take a gamble, betting that a soldier's conscience couldn't be lost so quickly.

"I..."

Before Li Xiang could respond, their conversation was interrupted by a voice at the door:

"Qiqi, you're not being honest. How could you sneak in food behind our backs? I even considered you my best friend. Hi, handsome, I'm Nana."

At this moment, a group of girls entered the canteen again, approaching the table where Li Xiang sat. One of the girls boldly sat next to Li Xiang, so close he could smell her perfume.

"I'm full, you all take your time."

Li Xiang's conversation was interrupted, so he took a couple of bites and left with his plate.

Nana watched Li Xiang's departing figure and asked, "Qiqi, what were you two talking about just now?"

"Just ran into him, didn't talk about anything. I can ask him if he's single for you, you might still have a chance."

Qiqi remained wary of this so-called best friend. Her sixth sense told her that Nana might be someone planted by the team leader, and any movement she made would be known to the leader immediately.

"You're so kind? I think you're just trying to keep him all to yourself."

Li Xiang left the canteen, still pondering over what that woman meant by what she said. Was this a test by the park?

"For now, I'll leave it be. Whether she really wants to return home or not, it shouldn't affect my plan. Once the plan is complete, she'll naturally be able to go home."

Li Xiang didn't bother to figure out if what she said was true. He couldn't trust anyone here.

At ten in the evening,

Li Xiang followed Gangzi and the others to the logistics department to collect their equipment for duty: fully charged electric batons.

Each person received one, hanging it on their waist.

"Gangzi, our patrol route is near the electric fraud department. At night, patrols mainly look out for anyone wandering around. Occasionally, some foolish individuals try to escape at night, so we need to pay more attention."

Li Xiang nodded, following Gangzi and the others, starting his first patrol at CC Park.

All night, Li Xiang didn't encounter any escape attempts. Maybe it was because someone had already been caught and executed today as a warning, scaring everyone into compliance.

At seven in the morning, they prepared for the shift change, returning the electric batons to the equipment room for charging, and then went to the canteen to have breakfast. Today was a day off, allowing them to rest for a day, and tomorrow they would take on the day shift.

In all honesty, if this place wasn't like this, the work schedule here would be quite relaxed. There's not much to do, and the salary is high, even regular security guards earn over ten thousand a month.

Of course, to maintain control over these 'pigs,' the park definitely needs to have some enforcers.

A week of peaceful days passed.

During this week, Li Xiang's routine was very regular, taking turns with Gangzi and the others on duty.

Manager Wen seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and Li Xiang hadn't seen him again.

He maliciously speculated in his heart, wondering if he had been taken care of by the people from Alpha Park.

This day, Li Xiang was on day shift, and the long-absent Manager Wen finally appeared, just in time to see Li Xiang's team on duty. He greeted them: "Gangzi, bring your dormitory people over."

"Yes, Manager Wen."

Li Xiang didn't know what it was about, so he brought Gangzi and the others and followed Manager Wen to the playground at the park entrance.

At this time, apart from the familiar Manager Wen, there were three men and a woman standing at the park entrance. Watching them chat and laugh, he assumed they were on the same level as Manager Wen.

Sure enough, Gangzi introduced them to Li Xiang: "Gangzi, you just arrived and might not know, these are the managers of the park. That woman with a great figure is Sister Bai, from the finance department. Don't be fooled by her beauty, those who messed with her have long passed away. The older man is Manager Ma from the logistics department, the one in the suit is Manager Wan from the online gambling department, and the last one is Manager Wu from the electric fraud department. You're lucky; in just a week, you've met all the managers and the boss of the park."

Li Xiang nodded; these people were indeed the park's management.

They were standing there, obviously waiting for someone, so he curiously asked: "Who are they waiting for?"

"Pigs, probably. A batch is being sold here today, so the managers are waiting to see the quality of this batch."

As they spoke, the park gate opened, and two buses drove in, stopping in front of the managers.

The bus doors opened, and everyone was herded off, the crowd in disarray:

"We're finally here. Is this where we'll be working? Looks like a nice environment."

"I'm exhausted. Once we get our dorms, I'm going to take a good shower."

Amidst the crowd, a man in a suit approached and negotiated with Manager Wu of the electric fraud department.

"This time, the harvest is good. Are they all for sale?"

"Of course, but the anti-fraud measures over there have increased, making people harder to deceive. I demand a 20% increase in the price."

When Manager Wu heard the demand for a price increase, he passed the ball to Sister Bai: "Sister Bai manages the finances. What do you say about the price?"

"This isn't our first time collaborating. There's no reason for sudden price hikes. It's still the same price, or you can take them back."

The man calculated for a moment and decided it wasn't worth taking the people back, as not many parks have the strength like CC Park to handle so many people at once.

So he said, "Deal. Sister Bai has spoken, what else can I say? Just raise it next time."

During their conversation, the noisy crowd behind them obviously hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation—they had already been sold to the electric fraud park.
