Chapter 253: Dracula Factory 1
These new rules immediately caused a stir on the forum. Some people thought the rules were extremely unreasonable, while others felt they were about ‘robbing the rich to help the poor’ and narrowing the wealth gap in terms of points.
World 283831231: Actually, it’s not so bad. People with many points might drop, and those with fewer points will have a chance to rise. It won’t always be just a few people with points they can’t spend in three or four years.
World 7934923: Give those players with many points some sense of crisis, let them know how miserable we low-level players are.
World 112398: The person upstairs, isn’t 21 points considered a low-level player? Everyone knows how hard it is to clear a game, and points are for extending your life. Now, if I fail once, I lose 2 points. Isn’t this asking for my life?
World 9293493: Don’t mind them, these people just can’t stand to see others do well. Little do they know that changing the game rules like this harms everyone. I suggest players with just over twenty points start managing their points. Buy food packages and cleaning packages to keep points at 19. As for what those big shots with too many points should do, they definitely know better than me.
Actually… players with many points in hand are now harder to deal with.
Low-point players can generally avoid risk by buying food and cleaning packages. However, for someone like Chu Yian, whose points could buy nearly eight hundred food and cleaning packages, hoarding that much is unnecessary. Besides purchasing packages, points clearly have many other uses.
If she wanted to keep her points for other uses, she would have to bear the risk of losing points if she failed a game.
To reduce the risk, Chu Yian still bought 50 points worth of food and cleaning packages, then cursed the game for being so ‘dog-like’.

…Dracula Factory
Clean white walls, bright lights. She was in a huge classroom, surrounded by’survivors’ dressed in the same gray uniform as her.
At the podium in front, a woman in a black business skirt was lecturing.
“Welcome everyone to the Dracula Factory. The mysterious species has attacked the Blue Star, and this is now humanity’s last sanctuary. Here, you will receive protection, and you must also bear the responsibility for the continuation of humanity.
Here you will need to labor, you will need to start families. Of course, currently, the most important thing is to adapt.”
The woman waved her hand, and the projector behind her lit up. “Please remember the following rules.
First: Completely obey the factory’s assignments for you.
Second: 10 PM to 6 AM is restricted outdoor time; you must stay in your respective dormitories.
Third: Take good care of your ID card. If it is lost, notify management immediately for a replacement.
If you do not follow the rules and any problems occur within the factory, you will be responsible for the consequences.”
Chu Yian listened to the woman, reaching into her pocket for the card she mentioned. It was similar to an ID card. Just then, someone suddenly raised a hand. The woman at the podium frowned, then looked at the person who raised her hand. “Do you have a question?”
The young man who raised his hand stood up. “I want to know what exactly that mysterious creature is?”
Coincidentally, this was also the question Chu Yian wanted to know.
“It is an extremely terrifying creature. You should be glad you haven’t encountered it. Everyone who has seen this creature has died.”
“No survivors?”
The man still wouldn’t give up. “Is there no related footage or photos at all?”
“If you are willing to join the vanguard, perhaps you can come face to face with those things.”
The woman stood at the podium, looking at him. “But you would have to go outside, which will mean coexisting with danger. Are you willing?”
“Of course, I am willing.”
The man actually agreed.
Chu Yian noticed a hint of mockery in the woman’s eyes the moment the man agreed. Soon, two men in black appeared at the classroom door and led the man out.
The game’s objective is to leave the factory within five days. Is it that simple?
Chu Yian was a little surprised watching the man being led away, but a way out that was too simple made her feel uneasy. She decided to observe the factory first and gather more relevant information.
After the woman finished speaking, they were led to another room.
It was already filled with people, and a row of nurses in white coats were drawing blood from them. Bag after bag of blood was numbered and packed into boxes, and it was soon Chu Yian’s turn.
There were people guarding everywhere, so she could only extend her arm and roll up her sleeve.
The needle pierced her vein, and bright red blood flowed into the bag.
“Doctor, may I ask why so much blood needs to be drawn?”
The young nurse who was drawing her blood glanced at her. “Besides conducting physical examinations for you, the personnel on the front lines are severely injured, and surgeries require blood.”
“The frontline soldiers are truly working hard.”
Chu Yian seemed to easily believe the young nurse’s words. Just as she was about to try to get close to the nurse, a middle-aged woman’s voice came. “Finish up and leave, what are you lingering here for?”
“Sorry.”
Chu Yian quickly made way for the people behind her upon hearing this. However, the seemingly fierce middle-aged woman quietly walked up to her, lowering her voice as much as possible, saying, “If you don’t want to die, don’t ask too many questions.”
What does she mean?
Chu Yian looked at the woman in surprise, only to see her already obediently lining up. Seeing this, she also followed and lined up behind her.
Their eyes met briefly, then subtly separated. It wasn’t until they entered the vegetable greenhouse for work that they finally spoke.
It was Chu Yian who initiated it.
“Hello, my name is Chu Yian.”
“My name is Cao Shufen.”
While Cao Shufen spoke, she kept her head down, clearing weeds from the ground. “Don’t look around, and don’t stop working. They will see you.”
“Who will see?”
“Who else but the managers of this factory.”
Cao Shufen’s words made Chu Yian’s movements pause, and she couldn’t help but scan her surroundings.
The working environment was an indoor vegetable area, with artificial light, soil, simulating a natural environment.
The enclosed space had only one large door for entry and exit, and there were no managers guarding it, so the indoor working environment wasn’t too oppressive. People were chatting and laughing, much like a paradise.
