Overturned Tower

After the talk show ended smoothly, the barber politely declined Mr. Emperor's invitation to stay for lunch.

Not long after he opened a certain door, he crossed the space and appeared directly in Russell's first-class cabin.

He tightened his tie and went to the window.

Like a spinning top-like floating island, the tall buildings, snow-capped mountains and fields above are bathed in sunlight. The densely packed, needle-like buildings in the lower city are hidden in the shadows.

"This is Happy Island..."

The barber sighed.

He used to think that the Happy Island condensed the darkness of the whole world, and it was a rotten land that was prosperous on the outside and decayed on the inside, where entertainment was paramount. But after going around outside and then returning home, I found that the environment here is quite good...

At least the people of Happy Island, unlike Sogo Island, are unemployed on a large scale, and can still find jobs; the civilians of Happy Island still have hope, unlike Sun Island, which has a caste system called "intelligence", which is permanent. People with regional separation and slightly poorer performance will become experimental products and advertising racks for the strong...

On Holy Blood Island, if people accidentally incur debts, they may be arrested by Ampoule Biomedical for experiments and drug testing. Even ampoule biomedicine will directly conduct some biological experiments in the local area without permission-such as conducting new drug research in nursing homes and mental hospitals.

But Yongquan Island is facing two dilemmas, both internal and external.

The law and order of Yongquan Island is the best, and the degree of exploitation by the company is also the weakest. However, the entire island is almost submerged in the water, and the large amount of humidity in all environments makes it difficult for ordinary people to live healthily. More than 80% of houses are submerged in water, which also makes the life of houses extremely low. But this is an extremely suitable environment for aquatic soul relatives, but it faces another problem... that is, most of the aquatic soul relatives are not in a good state of intellectual development.

There is no positive buff not to mention, and most of them even have debuffs. It is easy to find a job.

If you can't find a job in your home country, or you simply commit a crime...you won't be locked up. Instead, they will be sent to explore the oceans and radiated lands in the name of "freelance explorers" or "exploration teams for hire". After exploring valuable oil fields or mines, it is necessary to wear protective clothing to mine. Protective clothing can block radiation and curses to a certain extent, and the strong physical fitness and pure thinking of the aquatic soul can delay distortion, weakness, madness and death.

It can be said that the modern life of other empty islands is based on the sacrifice of Yongquan Island.

The situation on Taoyuan Island is monopolized by the family and the housing prices are expensive.

Although Russell had never been to that empty island, he had asked about bad days.

There are many similarities between Taoyuan Island and the land where Russell was in his previous life... The biggest difference is that it is a land governed by a company.

This leads to fundamental differences in many fields.

For example, Taoyuan Island does not have a unified college entrance examination. Its examination system is no different from that of Happy Island and Tongshen Island. They have become special entrance examinations for each university; The Big Seven are not taxed.

Because Sky Island has no country at all. Taoyuan Commercial Bank itself is a top-level building.

Instead, people pay taxes to corporations...

For example, Happy Island's "low-end transaction tax" requires that all products sold for less than 1 credit must be charged 10% to the company. As a "necessary means to maintain prices".

The unique tax of Taoyuan Island is the "real estate transaction tax". If you don't buy a new property, you can only rent a house-because second-hand housing will be more expensive than first-hand housing.

But if you buy a first-hand house, then it is not certain when the house will be handed over...

Taoyuan Island is also an empty island with the most complete preservation of "family" inheritance, which also means that there is another family line besides the "company" line of inheritance. Just like Bad Sun, Grandma Lan and Delphinium’s mother who used to be called Nan Liujing... They don’t pay as much attention to "code name" as other empty islands, because Taoyuan Island still has the concept and custom of "surname".

And this directly led to the fact that although the pressure of survival given by Taoyuan Commercial Bank itself is not high, many positions in the company have become passed down from father to son. Too much emphasis on "humanity and sophistication" has led to the same class, as well as the upper and lower two adjacent classes, and the flow of human feelings within the three classes has become extremely solidified. It's the same as Russell's establishment of the "Relief Society"... except that their exchange is limited to those they can contact, which has led to further solidification of resources.

The development of aristocratic families has led to real estate monopoly.

Pieces of land have been continuously bought and converted into manor houses, villas or viewing spots.

The logic of the land in Taoyuan Island is that as long as you build a building on this piece of land that has never been built, then you also own the ownership of this piece of land. When trading a building, the land under the building will also be traded at the same time; and if you already own a piece of land, you can no longer buy new land, and all landowners cannot hold any unconnected land . This is the basic rule established by Taoyuan Commercial Bank when Taoyuan Island was first established.

But there's a loophole here...that is, you can't buy new land, but you can expand old land.

And the family will start to purchase contiguous buildings around the land along the land they already own. And after they are all demolished and flattened, artificial wonders will be created.

Low-income places such as schools and shops often sell their land at a very high price to rich people who control adjacent plots, take a large sum of money and go to places far away from these rich people, using the Some of them bought lower-yield land such as warehouses, residential buildings, and bankrupt factories, and then bulldozed and rebuilt the buildings. Then wait until the rich expand again, and then sell the land to them.

As a result, the land that can be rented and lived will be gradually eroded. Taoyuan Island is currently the sky island with the best preserved land culture and the best environment...and the most expensive real estate.

—As for Tongshen Island, it is even more powerful.

Tongshen Island also has the unique employment pressure and extremely high unemployment rate of Sogo Island, the unique education monopoly and poor public security of Happy Island, the unique large-scale slums and racial segregation of Holy Blood Island, and the unique "some people enjoy The Xanadu". And the environment without sunlight and the environment full of humidity are also not suitable for people to live in; at the same time, Shenzhi Heavy Industry will also catch children to do experiments like ampoule biomedicine.

The luxurious six-in-one belongs to yes.

If Chairman Saar hadn't triggered a "miracle" at the cost of his life, at least one-sixth of the people in Tongshen Island should have been killed. This means that almost 80% of the family relationships are broken, and the entire island will fall into complete shutdown and chaos.

It can be said that it has actually been destroyed once.

It's just that after it fell from the cliff, it was caught in mid-air by a noose and pulled back alive.

Russell, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, has now returned to Happy Island again.

Even those uncoded people who shrank in the lower city seemed to be a little "happier"—at least they were not like in the Holy Blood Island, where they would be directly hunted down by the people sent by the company and captured as test subjects. The Tianen Group just made them into petri dishes to draw cards to find demons...

...It can only be said that the comparison to the worst is indeed the eternal theme of the cyber society.

And it made Russell feel sad.

If Happy Island is really the "Gotham" that condenses the darkness of the world, then it's okay, and it can make Russell feel comforted.

Because that means that the only problem that Russell needs to solve is the island of happiness itself. The suffering he saw was the deepest suffering in this world.

But now the facts are in front of him.

The suffering he has seen is far less than one-tenth of the suffering suffered in this world; the tired and suffering people he has met can really be regarded as "happy" people.

Such irony. So hopeless again.

It would already take Russell's lifetime to change one empty island, let alone seven.

But it was precisely because of this that Russell completely gave up the idea of ​​changing everything with his own ability.

He had to unite the crowd...he had to draw on the strength of the crowd.

If the "barber" needs to be that wise, calm, down-to-earth leader, as the person who commands the overall situation—

Then the "ultramarines" will stand on the other side, entrusting people's inner blood and ideals, as the "heroes" that people expect to see.

The barber's show is over.

Next, it's time for "Ultramarine" to appear...

Dongdong.

At this moment, there was a dull knock on the door of the room.

"Mr. Qunqing... are you awake? We are almost there."

That was Ringo's voice.

When taking the airship from Sun Island, Russell told her that he had to catch up on sleep in the room with the reason that "I got up early today and didn't get enough sleep". Wait for the airship to arrive at Happy Island in ten to twenty minutes before waking yourself up.

Yes, Russell finally decided to bring Ringo back with him.

But this is not "absconding".

Although Ringo himself said that he did not intend to return to Sun Island, as long as he could leave. However, she could say this under the impulsiveness and self-abandonment, but Russell couldn't just take her words seriously.

If he really thought about Lingo, he had to think about her—be prepared that she might "go home" in the future. No matter how much she hates this "home", and how much Sun Island doesn't look like a "home", it's the same.

So Russell went to contact "Professor Chen" as an ultramarine. And put Ringo's identity under his own name.

Not as the deputy head of the executive department, but as the deputy general manager of Shenzhi Heavy Industry Headquarters.

—Although Russell has not yet accepted the name "Saar", Shenzhi Heavy Industry still gave him a higher status when he left, so as to prevent him from being targeted by the executives of Tongshen Island who don't know the truth.

This identity is just a false job. The reason why it is "deputy general manager" instead of a higher status is because this status only needs to be modified on the internal website, and there is no need to hold a post in any field, no need to actually manage any department, and no need to accept interviews at all. And no one can interfere with him except the board of directors. At the same time, it will not affect the original staff promotion - it is the general manager who will be promoted to the board of directors instead of the deputy general manager, and the deputy general manager does not necessarily become the general manager.

This can be regarded as the highest vacant position in Shenzhi Heavy Industry.

Although in fact there is still no real power, but sometimes just identity is enough.

Originally, Professor Chen wanted to interfere with Russell's decision and wanted Ringo back; but after Russell said that he knew the director of Amirus, Professor Chen changed his words and said that he needed a higher price; but after Russell showed his identity , Professor Chen immediately changed his words again - this time he didn't want anything, and also gave Russell the data of the experimental model of the psionic suit that Ringo was wearing.

He said that this suit has actually developed a newer model and entered the elimination sequence. After three years, they will no longer provide update support—after they repeatedly modified three versions, they still decided to use the dual energy system and plan to re-architect the suit with this as the core.

—It’s like after Party A and Party B had a lot of tugging and changed several samples, Party A decided to go back to the original version.

But for ordinary designers, this is nothing more than producing a few pictures or making a few samples.

However, for the "trials" like Ringo, it means that their future has come to an end.

Professor Chen obviously knew this a long time ago.

That's why he sent Ringo out for breeding... It's because he knew that after Ringo went back, he didn't need to accept any more advertisements. The Institute has also found a new model—an equally lovely, equally intelligent, but younger girl.

Now, as the "old system" that will be eliminated, Professor Chen sold his favor and gave his materials to Russell.

In this way, even if Ringo left Sun Island with Russell, he could still collect materials to upgrade his suit on Happy Island.

He even generously reserved a position in the research institute for Lingo... and let her be an "expatriate researcher" to "follow the general manager of Qunqing to practice out of the island". When she returns to Sun Island, she can be directly promoted on the spot with this expatriate experience.

no doubt.

If Russell hadn't shown his identity, Ringo would definitely not have received such preferential treatment. It may even be interfered by human beings, and even send people to arrest them directly...

And even the executives of another sky island, without any real power at hand, can easily ask for the research results and permanently take away the employees directly under Thoth's psychic power.

"It's so ironic..."

The barber murmured under his breath.

Hearing a strange sound from inside the house, Lingo closed the door vigilantly, and shouted loudly, "Qunqing? Are you awake?"

Hearing this, the "barber" raised his head.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he stretched out his hand to press his face.

It was like gently taking off the invisible mask... As Russell's hand left his cheek, the appearance of the "barber" disappeared in a burst of ultramarine flames. In the blue flames flying like flying feathers, Russell in the uniform of the executive department appeared.

He walked towards the door, operated the door of the room with his mind, and opened it.

"Call me Qunqing directly?"

Russell smiled and said, "Is it finally not so strange?"

"I thought something was wrong with you..."

Seeing Russell coming out, Ringo heaved a sigh of relief.

She sighed angrily, and put her hands on her hips: "I said that, obviously, it is a hint to confirm whether you are safe, sir!

"If you are being held hostage, you can say something like 'Oh, dear Miss Ringo, I have nothing to do here'. When I hear that this is not the tone you usually speak to me, I can just break into the door saved you!"

"Have you watched too many movies?" Russell complained.

"I seldom watch movies... but many have such scenes!"

She followed Russell into the hall.

The children that Russell brought back from the laboratory on Tongshen Island were all sitting there obediently.

A large group of children with pure white, milky white, silver, and silver gray hair, and the iconic silver gray child hole, aged from seven or eight to fifteen or sixteen years old, sat quietly in their seats.

They no longer wear unadorned white sweaters with only digital logos like in the institute, but wear fashionable clothes with different shapes. White silk and black silk, short skirts and long skirts, small suits and denim outfits, trench coats and down jackets... No need to consider the temperature or season. Like a mannequin brought to life.

These are purchased by Russell from Sun Island in large quantities, which can best highlight the cuteness of the children.

Their appearance is correct and lovely, and they are all different, without any spiritual relative characteristics. The ratio of boys to girls is about 1:1.5. They are like a group of fluffy white balls, neither noisy nor disturbing, sensible and well-behaved~www.wuxiahere.com~ They will also focus on Russell when he appears, that ignorant and innocent Eyes will make people subconsciously feel loved.

— This is a well-behaved state that is absolutely impossible for normal human children.

"Remember what we said before? The airship will be arriving soon, keep quiet until I introduce you."

The hero, Qunqing, put her finger on her mouth, making a silent gesture.

He squinted his eyes, showed a soft smile, and two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Looking at these children, it is natural to feel happy.

"Remember to act cute and likable. My lovely children."

He moved all the man-made people from Tongshen Island here.

—Tongshen Island no longer wants them. But Russell wants to.
