SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire

"Coin Trader" He said, "1 for 300 US dollars, buying points, buying points with integrity, can trade with real-time exchange rates in other currencies, as much as you have, stop questioning whether I have the money or challenging my pocket money with the wealth you couldn't save in several lifetimes. Anyway, if interested @me or DM, transaction records available!"

"White Cute Cuddle" Don't believe him! Don't believe him! Don't believe him! Reduce activities that expose your specific coordinates within the company as much as possible! I report every scammer I see!

"Son of Sadomasochism" D Level promotion trial—team trial "Ghost Train," I'm begging, I need someone good at playing support...

"Unnamed 114514" I can play support, but I think we should meet in person to discuss this...

"The Unyielding" Help, I'm trapped on the minus eighteenth floor in the "Nonexistent Hospital" event, are there any pros here who can save me while doing this mission? I'm willing to pay all my savings of five thousand points from the past three years to save my life, I'm on my knees here...

"Wind through the Pavilion Last Night" I need advice! Why didn't I win the lottery jackpot after two tries using 'Book of Fate: Fragment' to buy the tickets? I thought I bought the wrong ticket the first time, but it was the same story the second time; I keep missing out, I'm losing so much...

"Unnamed 114514" Lottery? I know how to win it. I suggest contacting offline, and I'll take you to buy lottery tickets...

"Confused Cutie ①Sob Sob⑦" This is hilarious, the guy above just did something I have always wanted to try but didn't dare to—apparently, it's still impossible to win the lottery even if you cheat.

"Loafing Immortal" Hahaha, give up on the idea of making money from the lottery! That's a reality you'll never be able to reach! Also, can these @Unnamed 114514 bots just die already...

"Wandering Speedy Lad" He who attempts to change fate, shall be the fool of fate—'The Dice of Probability'.

...

"Tch, the vibe is more jovial than I expected..."

Colin looked at the conversations and felt like he had entered a forum for idiots.

Of course, the real idiots were those "invaders," their names mostly "Unnamed+numbers," who responded quickly but only wanted to meet in person, showing they were not the brightest bulbs.

It was as clear as day what their intentions were.

Next were some science popularization, casual chats, equipment trades, calls for help, and flame wars...

After some thought, Colin felt that he could make slight use of the resources here.

For instance, he could ask on a forum post if there was any good equipment available for purchase.

So, he drafted a title and made a post: [Let me be frank, all items under eighteen hundred points are trash, come at me if you disagree!]

This thing was pretty magical, allowing him to input text directly with his mind.

Although no one immediately replied, considering how active people were here, it shouldn't be long before someone took the bait.

Patient is the most important virtue for fishing.

Colin wasn't in a hurry, casually ordering takeout since he hadn't had lunch yet today.

He ordered a combo meal from Fuji Grilled Meat Restaurant via Meituan. After putting down his phone, he just saw someone in the chat room of the ancient scroll post a message, making the whole room burst into activity.

"Unnamed 337546" I'm a newbie who just joined 'Bonfire Company.' I got this [Self-Healing Mark] from doing a mission; it enhances physique and recovery. Even if a hand gets chopped off, it can heal if reattached on time, but it only works for those below D Level...

"Unnamed 114514": Is the host ready to sell? I'm quite interested in this item, and willing to pay top dollar for it. We can negotiate the price, and discuss in person offline...

"Heavenly Dumpling": Blue equipment? Honestly, not great. It just takes up space in the backpack. I suggest you start the bidding at 50 points for a designated auction to solve your problems...

"White Cute Cuddle": Damn, why am I not this lucky? Seeing you guys get gear makes me more miserable than if you killed me.

"Arsonist·Tao Tie": So annoying. I hate you seals that never speak up normally, but jump out the moment there's something good, flaunting and hopping around. Alright, alright, I've received your joy, whale-person.jgp. Go flaunt somewhere else...

Colin found this amusing and after some thought, he too typed a message into the chat box...

"A newbie just got a [Time Stasis], seems decently effective but a bit lacking in power. Any pros have tips for scenarios to use it in?"

Right after Colin posted the message, he saw that the whole chat room seemed to freeze, with no messages being sent for a few seconds.

Then a torrent of messages burst forth!

"Unnamed 114514": A golden equipment?! I have a friend who is very interested in this item. We can really pay a good price for it, negotiable, and willing to meet offline...

"Confused Cutie ①Sob Sob⑦": Fuck me, 6. I've been with the company for five years, I've heard of gold, but never seen one.

"White Cute Cuddle": Before that, the best items seemed to be purple. I've never heard of gold. Wait, I'll call my master to discuss this with Cutie Duo @Lifecoach Kawaii-many...

"Anonymous 1997": To be precise, I've heard of orange equipment before, better than purple and it caused quite a stir. But gold is even more legendary than that!

"Lifecoach Kawaii-many": Came rushing from the chat room next door. Where is that golden equipment? Let me see, let me see, who's being such a show-off—fuck, it's blinding...

"Anonymous": @Unnamed123456, for Brother Shunzi, crave some good luck...

"Anonymous": Meh, just licking lemons.jpg.

"Fish Pond Master": @Unnamed123456, does Shunzi big bro want to sell? I'm a real person and really want to buy your item. Here is my resume [D Level Privilege Certificate], ten million points + one hundred million US dollars, if you're willing. Money, gold, shares in big companies, real estate, anything you want! Any transaction method works, I can transfer it to your account immediately!

"Pissing Against the Wind": @Fish Pond Master, bro, V me 50 to show your worth.

"Lifecoach Kawaii-many": Dude, I must remind you that although this person is likely real, I still don't recommend any private transactions and don't trade carelessly... Someone who can casually throw around a hundred million dollars to buy something could easily mess with you... Also, @Fish Pond Master how can you be sure this golden equipment's seller is a real person? What if it's the 'invader's' new scam...

"Sea God Bright Moon": What are you talking about, Infernal Affairs here? If the 'invader' had that much brain, I'd eat the shit from the septic tank in my backyard right now. Besides, I just saw Brother Shunzi's onboarding notification...

"Anonymous": Onboarding notification? What does that mean? I don't get it, how does this confirm he's not an invader?

Immediately, someone explained it to him.

Currently, one way to distinguish whether someone is a real person is through the onboarding notification.

Each new employee will have an "onboarding notification" appear.

The stupidity of 'invaders' is like they just popped up out of nowhere; they won't have such an "onboarding notification" pop up.
