"Ha..." Linyin suddenly thought that she was a witch and could work and get married, but she had no offspring.
"In general, now I'm used to being a 'Nisto community resident'." The hotel owner looked back at the Nisto trademark hanging on the wall, "It's more or less a community that I can rely on."
Following his gaze, Linyin also saw a special Nisto community section on the smart screen.
She rowed over and saw that a vote was currently being held to discuss whether to retrofit environmentally friendly kits for six local factories to further reduce acid rain and water pollution.
"Who pays?" Linyin was curious.
"The community will collect money, the benefits of the factory, people's donations and... you see, the income of my hotel." The owner of the hotel spread his hands, "Social public affairs are supported by everyone who is closely related to it. This is the meaning of union.
I can't just make money without contributing. After the environment improves, more people will come to the hotel, so I can't hide the fund card, I have to pay my share."
"Do you support or oppose it?" Linyin asked.
"I have already voted for it," the hotel owner nodded. "After all, if the factory reduces sewage discharge, I don't have to install a water purifier for every faucet in the hotel, get rid of the rust and bugs, and spend a lot of money to replace filtering consumables regularly."
"Apart from these things, what other benefits are there to you?" Linyin felt that everyone was unprofitable and could not afford to do it early. "According to you, interests come first."
"Of course," the hotel owner laughed, "didn't you see that the equipment here is very new? Nisto Company has a basic support plan, which is very generous to people like me who do business with integrity. They will subsidize me 200,000 yuan to renovate the hotel. I will spend the rest of my life on it.
This is the first time I have encountered such a good thing. Their information center does not have any levels of reporting and approval. But now, the most difficult thing to deal with is the monkey."
"What, you want the monkey to vote?" Linyin took the monkey off its head and grabbed its arms.
The monkey looked at Lin Yin carefully, his eyes drifted here and there, and he made a cry for help. She put the monkey on the counter, took out broken biscuits from her pocket and fed it to it. The monkey seemed to be more energetic.
"First of all, Monkey is also an employee of the hotel, creating value for Nishinishiki Town. Secondly, he knows what the residents are investing in." The owner of the hotel took the monkey over and said, "Monkey, do you think we should replace the factory with environmentally friendly chimneys and wastewater processors?"
?”
"Chirp chirp." The monkey climbed onto the smart screen and slammed the voting button, but it was not a committee member and did not have its own account.
"Looking at how actively it participates, I believe the monkeys in Niishishin Town also have the right to vote... It is an intelligent life." The owner of the hotel put the monkey back on the ground, and the monkey picked up the broom and started cleaning up the garbage. "Wait until I collect 100
Sign it, and I will ask the community for a public vote, can you help me sign it?”
Linyin signed a pseudonym on the autograph book, while Miying remained motionless.
"Please, miss, please sign." The hotel owner put the signature book in front of Miying, "There are still 20 signatures left to give the monkey a chance."
"I...I'm luggage." Miying lowered his head.
Linyin smiled and walked forward, Miying followed, and the monkey pulled a cart over.
Linyin's boxes and Miying's batteries were stacked on the small cart. The monkey was stronger than they thought. It pushed the cart forward with force. It weighed about 30 kilograms and was less than half a person's height.
"If monkeys can vote, synthetic humans can also vote." Miying looked at the monkey pushing the cart, "I think I'm smarter than monkeys."
"?" The monkey looked back at her.
Linyin discovered that this was a macaque, much smarter than the wild macaques she remembered.
So she subconsciously stopped the monkey and opened the door behind its ears. Sure enough, there was a QR code, locked with a simple password.
After she cracked it, she got the real information. It turned out that this was no ordinary monkey, but a companion pet monkey that had been gene-edited by the Rainforest Creation Company. There was no sales record, so the hotel owner might have stolen it from somewhere.
"Monkeys are closer to humans than synthetic humans." Linyin opened the door and said, "Miss Baggage, please share a room with me."
Miying climbed onto the cart without saying a word, increasing the weight of the cart.
The monkey pushed with all his strength, but without pushing, he scratched the hair on his head, reached out to Linyin for some more biscuit pieces, and then walked away along the floor.
"You really can't take a joke." Linyin smiled and pushed the luggage on the trolley into the room together with Miying.
Linyin saw the clean room, the white double bed, and all the bedding.
There are tatami mats and a self-service tea machine next to it. As the hotel owner said before, each faucet is equipped with a huge water purifier to filter the highly polluted tap water that is common in suburban areas.
"Let's stay here for now." She took a glass of water and didn't care much about the purification effect, because Linyin had a modified stomach and could survive drinking radioactive wastewater.
She looked at the scenery outside. The lush woods spread all the way to Mingge Mountain. Legend has it that Tsuneo Sakura Shrine and Hyakuyou Shrine are located on the yin and yang sides of the mountain respectively, and together they guard the huge monster. The monster was killed by the Scarlet Sea descendant Clarus II last year.
Behead the world.
Miying sat in the corner of the room collecting information, and from time to time packaged and transmitted some documents to Linyin so that she could analyze the intelligence and investigate possible risks on the way to the colonel.
If nothing goes wrong, there are still thirty-eight hours before he lands. They must ensure that the ship will not be sunk and cover the colonel's transfer before the assassin succeeds.
"It would be great if we could know which strangers are coming and going nearby." Miying said seriously, "The locals know nothing about the colonel. If anyone wants to take action against the colonel, they must be outsiders."
"Just ask the innkeeper when you have time."
"The scope of his activities is limited to his shop, and the bad guys will definitely not come here to stay." Miying judged, "We must take active actions to find the lurking killer."
"Yes." Linyin closed her eyes, jumped on the bed and lay down, "Then... go to sleep."
"Sleep!" Miying came over and pushed Linyin, "We have to work."
"Bad guys come out in the middle of the night." Rinyin crossed his legs and put his hands behind his head, "We will wander around Niishishiki Town at 1 o'clock in the evening. We are guaranteed to find something interesting."
Linyin slept for a while, but before midnight, she was woken up by shouting on the street outside the hotel at around 10 o'clock in the evening.
"I told you -" a hoarse voice shouted in the street, "-it doesn't exist! It doesn't exist!"
Linyin quickly got up and went to the hotel window.
She saw a tattooed, shirtless gang member yelling in the street.
She frowned, Miying had not rested, and now she was on guard. They looked at each other and climbed out of the window.
The street is quiet and wide, a country road with only sporadic small businesses around. There are not many people at night, and the shops close early. The newly built houses look quite exquisite in the night, with tiles as dense as fish scales.
Miying activated his optical concealment stance and quietly walked around from the side and behind. Nisto Company's security personnel did not patrol here, allowing the middle-aged man to continue yelling. Linyin squatted down and scanned the opponent carefully.
"Safe, there are no particularly dangerous prosthetics." Linyin only scanned implants such as multi-function tool hands, storage units, alcohol fuel stoves, and enhanced night vision.
"It's too late, sir." Miying appeared from the shadows and blocked his way.
"Late? It's not late, not at all." This man was drunk.
He has a fleshy face and a tall body. He wears an exaggerated red embroidered feather fabric, and wears wooden clogs on his big feet, which makes a creaking sound when he walks. His hair is combed into a big ginkgo bun, like a fat warrior, and both arms are tattooed with green dragons with fangs and claws.
, so ugly that it would be shot dead on the spot by members of Tianshu.
"It's time to rest, uncle." Miying looked at him carefully and took the guy to a bench on the street.
Linyin noticed that this bench was particularly beautiful, slender, sturdy and delicate, made of durable and rust-proof metal, and had an awning on the top to withstand wind and sun, which was incompatible with the old Sainishin Town.
She later found out that it was a new style that community members pooled their money to buy, with the donor's name and amount engraved at the bottom.
Companies also decorate streets just to make them more attractive and thereby gain higher profits, while community residents buy benches just so everyone can sit on them.
Fairness, unity, and progress, these three principles are permeating every aspect of life. This is unexpected for Rinne. She has been to many company cities and has never seen this kind of situation. The people there can only live in a dream, even if they want to
They don't have the opportunity to participate in decision-making when improving their homes. They just wait for the company to arrange their lives.
After being helped to the seat, the old man became more awake.
"I yelled," he muttered, "how rude."
"What's your name?" Miying asked, "Are you a resident of Xijin Town?"
He thought carefully for a long time before he came up with his name.
"The name is Inubei." He said, "I live here."
Linyin secretly searched for this character and found that it was stored in the personnel files of Nisto Company.
The Inubei guards are tall, burly and fierce, and were originally arrogant gang members.
During the expansion of Nisto Company into the countryside, Inubei was concerned about the stable life of his family, so he decided to actively cooperate and help provide some information. He also paid the fine and reduced the sentence. He was only imprisoned for one month and he was released today for a full week.
"You just said 'doesn't exist', 'doesn't exist' on the street! What exactly doesn't exist?" Miying asked.
"Trees!" Inubei suddenly sat up and waved vigorously towards the lush forest covering Mingge Mountain, "There are all trees here! How is that possible? Before I went to prison, this place was bare, full of barren mountains!
There were dead trees everywhere! Weeds! Shrubs... But now? It’s all trees! Such big trees! They didn’t exist! They didn’t exist!”
The hotel owner heard Inubey making noise outside and came out with a pistol and monkey.
"He is talking nonsense again." The hotel owner said, "I am very sorry. If the lady doesn't like it, I will ask the community to send people to arrest him."
"No need." Miying waved his hand, "What about you? Mr. Hotel owner, what do you think of these trees that suddenly appear?"
"They have always existed." The owner of the hotel looked at the forest covering Mingge Mountain and connecting Nishinishiki Town. "They have always existed from ancient times to the present. How else can we explain it? Why do they grow so big and tall?
, so vigorous...did they appear overnight? Inubey, look at those trees carefully."
Inubey turned toward the woods and thought hard for a while.
"Yes...yes." Inubey muttered, "If they hadn't existed there since ancient times...how could they have grown so lushly? But I remember that the air used to be very turbid, and acid storms would come from time to time.
, are all gone now.”
"It's all the result of Nisto Company's environmental improvement project," Miying said.
"Yes, enjoy your life, Inubei." The hotel owner said, "You have a serious job as a courier. Your wife just had brain surgery. Your daughter went to middle school and your son entered a stamp rehabilitation center.
You don’t have to mess with gangsters anymore. If you are willing to believe that this forest exists naturally, your life will be easier."
"I will figure it out." Inubey shook his head and glanced at the hotel owner's monkey, "Where's the monkey? What does the monkey think of the woods?"
The monkey nodded first and then shook his head, expressing a very complicated meaning.
"I'm going back first." The hotel owner took the monkey back to the hotel.
"Uncle Inubei." Miying asked, "Have you seen any suspicious people while wandering the streets? Very suspicious guys who do not belong to Sainishiki Town."
"Yes, I have seen it, very suspicious people, women." Inubei groped around his body, but it was no longer an age where there were no taboos. He was used to the days of being protected, and he couldn't find his machete and submachine gun.
A woman is in the forest... hiding in the forest, like a ninja."
"I have to go over and check because we think they may be dangerous to the town." Miying said keenly. Although these ninjas are most likely coming for the colonel, it is easier to accept it this way.
Miying's negotiation ability has indeed increased significantly than before. Linyin observed in the dark. Sure enough, the growth potential of the third generation of synthetics is unlimited.
As for the kunoichi... Rinne felt wary. It would be difficult for her and Miying to deal with a large number of kunoichi.
"Go to the forest." When Inubei heard this, he completely sobered up, "Yes, I want to go to the forest to take a look... This forest, this forest is unnatural. Everyone in Sainishin Town wants to
To beautify its existence... I don’t believe it, I really don’t believe it! This forest definitely emerged from the ground overnight! I will prove it!”
