Chapter 391 5-star praise (1)
“Delivery drivers are not allowed to enter our community.”
The navigation on the man’s phone was still flashing the residential complex address, and the destination was only a few steps away.
The security guard was standing in front of him, with an indifferent expression and a tone that left no room for questioning.
The man looked up at the magnificent gate. The high-end residential complex behind him seemed exceptionally peaceful. The takeaway box on his shoulder slid slightly due to sweat and nervousness.
"I'll take you upstairs and leave right away."
The security guard just repeated again: "Delivery drivers are not allowed to enter our community." His tone was cold and blunt, like an invisible barrier, blocking the man outside the door.
The man stood there, suppressing a feeling of powerlessness and anger in his heart.
He knew that he didn't have much time left. If he couldn't deliver it on time, the customer's bad review would come like a verdict.
He called the customer and hurriedly explained the situation.
"Hello, I'm so sorry, could you please come downstairs and pick up the takeaway?"
The woman on the other end of the phone became impatient after hearing the delivery man's explanation. "I don't care. I paid, why do you want me to pick it up in person? If I were going out, why would I order takeout?"
"But...the community won't let anyone in."
"Don't you know how to figure it out yourself?" After saying that, the woman hung up the phone without hesitation.
He also received threatening text messages.
"If I don't see my takeaway in five minutes, I'll definitely complain to you!"
The man gripped his phone tightly and glanced at the message on the screen: "Your favorable review rate is about to drop below 90%. Please take each of your orders seriously."
The hint was like an invisible sword hanging over his head.
The last glimmer of hope in his heart was completely shattered by the cold numbers.
Suddenly he seemed to have lost all his strength, and his shoulders slumped down weakly.
The takeout box slipped from his hands and fell to the ground with a dull thud, shattering his last bit of strength.
His eyes gradually became blurred and lost focus.
A strange look of relief appeared on the man's face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then he took a deep breath, gathered up his last bit of courage, turned around suddenly, and rushed towards the telephone pole beside him.
"boom!"
A dull crash was heard, and blood instantly splashed onto the ground. The bright red liquid slowly dripped down the electric pole, staining the gray ground red.
Finally, the man's body fell down weakly with an expression of relief on his face. This collision finally ended all his pain.
The security guard watched the scene indifferently, without any fluctuation on his face.
It seemed like all this was already commonplace to him. He just nonchalantly picked up the intercom and said in a flat tone: "Another delivery man committed suicide. Call the cleaning staff over quickly."
He hung up the intercom and stood there calmly, looking at the man lying on the ground calmly, just looking at an insignificant object.
The air was filled with a faint smell of blood. The surroundings were so quiet that even the wind seemed to have stopped.
"I was just doing my job. Your death has nothing to do with me. If I let you in, I might be the one getting a bad review." The security guard muttered to himself with a cold look in his eyes.
The blood on the ground slowly seeped into the cracks between the tiles, deeply engraving the despair on the cold ground.
In this world, everyone has logged into the rating elf from the moment they are born.
This is a tool of social control, a scoring software, and also a shackle of fate that no one can escape.
When they go to school, they are graded by their teachers.
Every test, every assignment, and even their performance in class will be recorded in detail.
Every point and every comment received by the students becomes a stepping stone to their future career.
Students with high scores are regarded as the elite of society and will be assigned to better schools and have access to more resources. Students with low scores, on the other hand, are labeled as losers from the very beginning, and their future becomes bleak.
After entering society, the grading becomes more ruthless.
Whether in the service industry or as a corporate employee, every tiny mistake will be magnified and given low scores by customers and superiors. The system will determine their social status, salary and benefits, and every detail of their lives based on these scores.
A person with a low score will not only lose his job, but also be deprived of his basic right to survival and become an outcast of society.
In this society ruled by scores, no one can escape the ubiquitous grading system.
Society does not allow the existence of vagrants.
Unemployment means that the score has dropped to the bottom, and people with too low scores will be regarded as a burden to society by the system. Not only will they be deprived of any social benefits, they will also be forced to participate in dangerous low-score labor.
If you refuse, you will die...
Studying became the only way out.
Children are instilled with the belief that "only by studying hard can they have a future" from an early age.
Parents pin all their hopes on grades because they know that school grades determine their children's life destiny.
Students with high scores will be assigned to superior positions in society and enjoy higher treatment, while students with low scores can only be at the bottom of society and struggle for survival.
A five-star review is no longer a simple evaluation, but the master of life.

In an instant, all players who entered the game received career cards.
They are distributed all over the place. From the moment they get their professional cards, they have already changed into work clothes, as if they are going to start working in the next second.
Someone frowned slightly, "Nurse? I haven't studied medicine, how can I be a nurse?"
Career cards are not assigned based on what players are good at, they are completely random.
Some people were assigned as drivers, but they couldn't even ride a bicycle.
Jinyi City Middle School.
Golden spots of light passed through the gaps between the leaves, and the autumn sun fell on Xiao Huai's face.
He sat quietly on the bench, the only one favored by the light, his black hair shining slightly in the sunlight.
The lake water shimmered under the scorching sun. Xiao Huai looked at the lake and the maple leaves falling on the lake.
The maple leaves were like fire, but the look in his eyes was as cold as the first snow.
The wind gently blew through the tips of his hair. He half-closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. His face was gilded by the light, and he looked so lazy that it was intoxicating, as if the hustle and bustle of the whole world had quietly dissipated before him.
