After Selling Insurance in an Infinite Flow World

[Top Salesman Gong x Lazy Infinite-Game Big Shot Shou]

Yue Xun was an insurance salesman, and a terrible one at that.

Other salespeople had silver tongues and could sign more than a dozen clients in two days. He smiled at customers and nearly got reported to the police by someone who thought he was making threatening debt-collection calls. He couldn't close a single deal, and the neighborhood security guards even blacklisted him. Even his coworkers couldn't help teasing him: "Man, you're scary when you don't smile, and even scarier when you do. You look like a psychopath serial killer."

Who did they think they were looking down on?!

Yue Xun wanted to say that and give everyone who mocked him for failing to close a deal a good dressing-down. But the fact was, if he couldn't renew his lease, he'd have to fight dogs for food under a bridge. Hoping to get used to his future living conditions, Yue Xun inexplicably went to a spot beneath a bridge to try chatting with his future neighbors. Then he unexpectedly heard a voice in his ear: "Still worried about failing to close a deal? Join us! The Infinite-Game Insurance System is at your service, ready to help you become a top salesman!"

A pyramid scheme?

Yue Xun looked at the System as if it were an idiot. As he spoke, he dialed 110. "I can't sell insurance here, and you want me to sell it in an infinite game? Are you kidding me?"

The System smiled. "Room and board are included in the System's space!"

Yue Xun coughed and locked his phone before putting it back in his pocket. "Well, I suppose it's not out of the question. It's not like I'm changing careers."

Yue Xun had assumed that players in the infinite game wouldn't want to spend their points on insurance. Wouldn't it be better to save those points for items that could keep them alive? But to his surprise, he suddenly had more clients than he could handle. Players crowded around him to sign policies, saying all kinds of strange things.

"I want accident insurance. My next instance is A-rank, so I'll get a ton of points if I make a claim!"

"Holy crap, this rice that comes free with the policy is so filling. I won't even get hungry in the apocalypse instance!"

"Boss, if I buy a property insurance policy, can I get another pack of tissues? Those can even wipe off marks left by ghosts!"

Yue Xun said, overwhelmed, "Get in line! There's plenty of free stuff, no need to fight over it!"

Zhu Hanzhou was the head of the Dawn Guild in the infinite game and the player ranked first in points. Recently, though, he had heard that an insurance salesman had suddenly appeared in the game. Selling insurance in an infinite game?

Even scammers had gotten more sophisticated these days. Who would have thought of scamming people out of points by selling insurance?

But when one of his team members actually received a payout, Zhu Hanzhou couldn't sit still. He went to find the insurance agent who was supposedly a top salesman, but the moment he laid eyes on him, he couldn't move. Stealthily swallowing at the sight of the boss's broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, Zhu Hanzhou asked, "Boss, are you for sale?"

Yue Xun scowled. "Not for sale."

"Then does buying insurance come with the boss?"

"...The boss isn't a free gift!"
