Fairy Sister: "So what do you think, which happens more often? People reaching the end together, or people cutting ties with their beloved once they've 'made it ashore'?"
Middle-aged Uncle: "No one has statistics on this, but based on my experience, it's absolutely cutting ties with their beloved once they've made it ashore."
Fairy Sister: "Why?"
Middle-aged Uncle: "For a romantic relationship between a man and a woman to last long-term, one condition must be t."
"Both parties must contribute, and their contributions should be roughly equal."
"It absolutely must not be a situation of one-sided giving, or where one party's contribution is overwhelmingly large."
Fairy Sister: "Why? I think one-sided giving, or even giving everything, is normal! Because you want to give the best to the other person, you wish you could give everything—that's an expression of love!"
Middle-aged Uncle: "Do you play gas?"
Fairy Sister: "Yes."
Middle-aged Uncle: "If you play a ga, and you have one account you've never spent money on, and another account where you've spent a lot of money, which one would you be willing to give up?"
Fairy Sister: "The one I spent a lot of money on."
Middle-aged Uncle: "What???"
Fairy Sister: "Just kidding, it would definitely be the free-to-play account. After all, the only investnt there is ti and effort, while the other one has both effort and a lot of money spent."
Middle-aged Uncle: "So, that's exactly the reason for cutting ties with a beloved once you've made it ashore!"
"In this relationship, the other person has been doing all the giving. You haven't contributed anything to them. So, if you find a new partner in advance and think about ending this relationship, you won't lose anything."
"On the contrary, if you've invested too much in this relationship, making you break up is really hard to decide."
"Do you know about Akina Nakamori?"
Fairy Sister: "A female celebrity from Cherry Blossom Country?"
Middle-aged Uncle: "Right. She's in her fifties or sixties now. When she was young, she dated a guy nad Masahiko Kondo."
"She gave her emotions, gave her money, even bought him a house worth 80 million yen. In short, she gave everything. The other guy still played the cad, cheated on her. Then she even attempted suicide by slitting her wrists to salvage the relationship. And the result? Love still left her."
"So, if you want the other person in a relationship to not break up with you easily, you need to find a way to make them spend money on you, invest a lot of things in you."
"The party who simply gives will only sink deeper and deeper, unable to extricate themselves."
At this mont, the Long-haired beautiful host, seeing the conversation in the chat section, seed to recall so past events that happened to her. She was lost in thought for a mont, then realized she was still live streaming.
She imdiately shook her head to clear her thoughts and continued introducing:
"Lab Rat Number 7 is also the final lab rat of this round."
"Zeng Yan, male, 20 years old. Also dropped out of school early to work, just like Lei Xiaoman, supporting his girlfriend through university."
"He signed an agreent with us, with a daily paynt of ten thousand for staying one day."
Fairy Sister: "Wow, the apartnt is definitely doing this on purpose, finding two such suckers to co here."
Little Aunt: "Definitely on purpose."
Whether it was intentional or not, the betting session began.
Because there was no influx of viewers from that live stream room from the previous round, the total betting amount this ti was much lower compared to the last round.
The betting results are as follows:
"Lab Rat Number 1 Jiang Ran: 38.27 million
Lab Rat Number 2 Huo Yun: 22.01 million
Lab Rat Number 3 Huang Kaiyu: 36.65 million
Lab Rat Number 4 Yang Qi: 5.37 million
Lab Rat Number 5 Li Shumu: 10.37 million
Lab Rat Number 6 Lei Xiaoman: 2.9 million
Lab Rat Number 7 Zeng Yan: 6.63 million
Total betting amount: 122.2 million"
The total betting amount for this round, let alone compared to the terrifying nearly 1.5 billion from the previous round, couldn't even match the total amounts from many previous rounds.
It barely broke a hundred million.
Of course, this situation is completely normal.
A live streaming ga has its peak periods and its periods of fatigue.
That's normal, just like a person's career won't always stay at its peak height.
This round, Jiang Ran still received the highest betting amount.
People in the live stream room had almost all grasped one principle: betting on Jiang Ran would definitely make you laugh last.
So, what were those betting on others thinking?
Simple.
As ntioned before, playing this kind of betting is similar to gambling—what you want is the thrill.
Making money is secondary; happiness and excitent are what's real.
Testing your own insight and judgnt, experiencing the rollercoaster of emotions that follows the fate of the lab rats in the live stream.
That's the real thrill.
Huo Yun and Huang Kaiyu's betting amounts were also in the top three.
Not hard to understand. Huo Yun, after all, has survived several rounds. As for Huang Kaiyu, he's a classic case of abnormal, with human lives on his hands. Coming to Alice Apartnt is like fitting right in.
The other four new lab rats didn't receive high betting amounts individually.
Among them, the criminal psychologist—Li Shumu—had the highest of the four.
"The betting results are as follows. Next, I declare, the 32nd round of the 'Far Neighbor' live stream ga, begins!"
Following this gentle voice, the live stream's screen switched to Alice Apartnt.
32nd Round, Day 1.
For the lab rats of each round, so arrive at Alice Apartnt to check in a few days before the round starts.
For example, the young man Jiang Ran encountered who saved him and beat up Zhao Jue—Yang Qi.
Others arrive on Day 1 of the live stream round.
In any case, the latest is no later than Day 1.
Lab Rat Number 6—Lei Xiaoman—was like this.
The ti she arrived at Alice Apartnt was already past 10 AM on Day 1.
Following this gentle voice, the live stream's view switched to Alice Apartnt.
Additionally, she wasn't from Nancheng City.
She was from another province.
After all, the agreent signers couldn't keep targeting only people from Nancheng City.
Since she was from another province, suddenly needing to co to a city in a neighboring province ant she had to sort things out on her end.
For example, the factory where she previously worked.
If she was going to stay at Alice Apartnt for a week, she'd need to ask for leave.
But among dostic electronics factories, not many would let you take a week off.
After all, these factories don't see workers as human beings.
Of course, to say sothing workers might find annoying and repulsive:
If others don't see you as human, have most workers ever seen themselves as human?
Clearly, one hour should be worth at least over ten yuan.
Yet you work for 5 yuan an hour? Have you gone crazy with this rat race?
You've exploited your own value.
In short, never believe the old saying often repeated by the elderly: "If you don't do this, what will you do? You're idle anyway."
So, Lei Xiaoman directly quit. Also, that factory had less and less work, feeling like it was about to go under anyway.
Therefore, her plan was simple: co to Alice Apartnt to see if what the agreent said was true. If true, everyone's happy.
If false, leave and find the next job.
Lei Xiaoman took a rideshare to Alice Apartnt, got out of the car, and saw the beautiful, grand apartnt building before her.
Of course, to say sothing workers might find annoying and disagreeable:
