Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Fairy Sister: [I've noticed that every round has way too few female lab rats. It's always mostly male lab rats, and some rounds are even all-male.]

Ultimate Rich Kid: [Are you trying to say this game favors men over women or something?]

Fairy Sister: [I just wish they'd add a few more female lab rats.]

Middle-aged Uncle: [There really are too few female lab rats. This time, out of nine lab rats, only one is female.]

I am the Hero: [In this round, five lab rats are returnees, only four are new. One female lab rat out of four isn't that few either. Besides, in Round 32, I remember there was a female lab rat named Lei Xiaoman. Did she die or leave the apartment?]

Domineering Female CEO: [She left the apartment. If she'd died, the host definitely would've mentioned it.]

I am the Hero: [See, there you go. She bolted after one round, so female lab rats just can't build up!]

As these people chatted away, half an hour quickly passed. Time was up.

The betting results were also out.

"The betting results for this round are as follows:"

"Lab Rat Number 1, Jiang Ran: 53,260,000

Lab Rat Number 2, Huo Yun: 33,300,000

Lab Rat Number 3, Huang Kaiyu: 27,450,000

Lab Rat Number 4, Yang Qi: 37,750,000

Lab Rat Number 5, Zeng Yan: 19,200,000

Lab Rat Number 6, Xue Kai: 5,740,000

Lab Rat Number 7, Zhang Wei: 10,010,000

Lab Rat Number 8, Jin Hai: 880,000

Lab Rat Number 9, Zheng Zihan: 2,290,000

Total bet amount: 189,880,000!!!!"

The betting results for Round 33 were hardly surprising.

Jiang Ran had the highest bet amount.

Betting on him guaranteed a payout, but since the most people bet on him, getting a big share was impossible.

Next, the other veteran lab rats all had decent bet amounts too.

As for the four new ones.

Xue Kai and Zhang Wei were both lab rats tricked into being security guards.

But Zhang Wei had almost double Xue Kai's amount.

Many people in the live stream saw these betting results.

And so, they were puzzled.

They asked those who had bet on Zhang Wei.

And got this answer:

[Oh, I just thought the name Zhang Wei sounded pretty lucky and easy to remember, so I bet on him.]

Yeah, just that simple and unpretentious.

As for the last two lab rats — Jin Hai and Zheng Zihan.

Zheng Zihan only got 2,290,000 bet on her.

Unless a female lab rat was the buff-beauty type, or the long-haired beauty host introduced her.

Introduced her as highly educated, with a high IQ, super smart.

Otherwise, it was hard to get high bets.

As for Jin Hai.

Unless he was actually Conan, with a high school detective's mind in a kid's body.

Otherwise, a 38-year-old man's soul in a 10-year-old kid's body was useless.

A 10-year-old kid's body.

The operational possibilities were just too limited.

For these ordinary adults, moving into Alice Apartment was like sheep walking into a wolf den.

And this guy... was even more like a lamb walking into a wolf den, absolutely no chance.

So the fact that someone actually bet on him, bringing the amount to 880,000.

Was pure morbid curiosity, just for fun.

"Tomorrow marks the official first day of Round 33."

"Today is considered Day 0. I hope everyone finds joy in watching the live stream."

The betting session ended.

After the long-haired beauty host said those two sentences.

The entire live stream screen switched from pitch black, with only a single beam of light illuminating the studio.

To Alice Apartment.

Round 33, Day 0, exactly 3:30 PM.

"My name is Zhang Wei. Xue Kai is my classmate, and we were also roommates. We were really close, which is why we came out to look for jobs together."

"But finding a job was just too hard. Couldn't find anything good. The companies that came to our school were all shady, crooked outfits. Just as scammy as the ones you find on your own. Low pay, and without exception, it was six days on, one day off, twelve-hour rotating shifts."

"This completely crushed the lofty ambitions I'd dreamed of after graduation."

"I don't know how the other classmates found jobs. I heard a lot of them had connections or pulled strings. Sigh. For someone like me with no connections, finding a decent job is just too hard."

"However, something unexpected happened. That day, I went back to the school dormitory with Xue Kai to pack up our stuff and move out. At the school gate, we ran into a middle-aged man."

"That middle-aged man looked like money from a mile away. His car was a Porsche. Xue Kai said even though it was just a 718, it was the latest model, worth at least a few hundred thousand."

"I don't know much about specific car models, but Xue Kai knows them inside out. He spends all day checking out sports cars and luxury cars, saying he'll buy one himself someday."

"That middle-aged man came up to me and Xue Kai. We were both puzzled because we didn't know him. So, we asked him what he wanted."

"And then he just handed us each a business card. Straight up asked if we were recent graduates. If we hadn't found jobs yet, we could take his card and go to a place called Alice Apartment in Nancheng City. They were hiring security guards with great pay — at least 8,000 a month."

"After saying that, the middle-aged man peeled off in his Porsche before we could even ask anything."

"We just tucked the cards away as a last-resort option. Because even though Nancheng City was in the same province as our university town, getting there still meant taking a high-speed train or something. It wasn't super convenient."

"We decided to keep looking for jobs in the city where we'd gone to school first, since we were already familiar with it. But after searching for days, we couldn't find anything decent. Every time we went to some company or factory, the internship wages were pitifully low. Most were just over 2,000 a month. And the post-probation pay wasn't much better either..."

"Over 2,000 a month. We were crushed. Even if the company or factory provided housing and one meal, no matter how frugal we were, we wouldn't be able to save much on 2,000 a month."

"When we were kids in school, they always said we were the flowers of the future. Now we're done with school, finally graduated. How come it feels like we've turned into nothing but dog shit?"

"Finally, Xue Kai pulled out the card that middle-aged man gave us. We talked it over and decided to head to Nancheng City to check it out."

"We arrived at Alice Apartment in Nancheng City the next day."

"After we got there, we first talked to a security guard in the gatehouse — our current security team leader, Xiang Shanfeng — and told him why we'd come. He was pretty cold, no smile, very serious."

"When he heard we were looking for work, he told us to go straight to Building No. 2 and find the building manager, a woman named Wu Meiling."

"We found Manager Wu Meiling of Building No. 2 without any trouble. She was a woman in her forties, dressed pretty fashionably. I think that saying is really true — 'The clothes make the man.'"

"She interviewed us. We handed her our resumes."

"After reading through mine and Xue Kai's resumes, she smiled and asked us a few questions."

"I'm pretty introverted and not great with words. So Xue Kai did all the talking with Manager Wu Meiling. They chatted happily, laughing and joking."

"I was just like air beside them. But that's fine. I actually like that feeling — nobody paying attention to me, so I just slip through."
