Rachel Nakamura wakes up from her free accommodation.
She was thinking about where the enemy was until she fell asleep yesterday, and now she barely returned to normal. She doesn't even know the ultimate secret of the universe, so how can she know where the enemy is?
Where is the enemy?
Five simple words, but actually a complex philosophical proposition.
We were born penniless. We have no natural allies, but we do have natural enemies. But we have never discovered where our enemies are, so we are confused.
Go and find your enemy. Rachel Nakamura meditated.
That robot taught me a lesson. Rachel Nakamura sighed. I really didn’t expect that I didn’t know the answer to this important question for so many years.
It seems like we have to work hard to find where the enemy is.
If it hadn't asked, I probably wouldn't have reflected on where the enemy was.
Turning on the recording function of her eyes, Rachel Nakamura looked at the room she was in and made a corresponding report.
"This is a standard single apartment with an area of 20 square meters." She stood up and walked around the room and observed, "There is a plastic express cabinet at the front door, which can accommodate up to 1 cubic meter of items. Larger items will be stored in the building.
Get it from the courier station at the bottom."
"There are three alarm devices, all within easy reach. The circuits are intact, of high quality, and almost impossible to damage. The retina-verified alloy door lock greatly improves safety. Fortunately, I still have the retina in one eye."
Rachel Nakamura checks various alarm panels.
As long as you wave, security personnel will respond. You can also seek help for fire protection and property damage through this panel to ensure the health and safety of residents.
"The room provides a large shoe cabinet, wall cabinets and top cabinets, which are quite large and of good quality. On the West Coast, I have a 65-square-meter apartment. Even if I bring all the supplies there, this place can still be used
Collect them all." Rachel Nakamura looked around.
"It seems to be part of local customs. Even the narrowest bathroom will provide a two-in-one shower bathtub. There are ventilation fans and light-transmitting windows high up, which is very safe." She entered the bathroom again.
On one side of the corridor is a small kitchen, which provides free induction cookers, chopping boards, sinks and freezers.
Rachel Nakamura checked the long living room again.
"The relatively 'huge' long tatami-style living room allows guests to entertain guests, and blankets can be placed on one side. In order to avoid heat loss, the apartment is heated uniformly, and the temperature cannot be adjusted by oneself. The room temperature is 22°C, and the treatment is quite good." Rachel Nakamura
She rolled up her quilt and carried it into the closet. This was the first time she slept on the floor, and she felt okay.
Rachel Nakamura went to the balcony and observed the scenery outside.
This is the famous 24th District of Shangjing. It was originally a large sinkhole destroyed by supernatural magic. It has now become a model project for surface restoration and urban transformation.
Including her own free apartment, most of the buildings are modularly produced, and the rooms are designed according to standard sizes, so they can be expanded like stacked blocks and are cheap to build.
Rachel Nakamura can easily tell which parts of an apartment were manufactured first and which parts were manufactured later.
"This is very interesting. I thought that Nisto Company would provide a series of honeycomb-like residences, allowing people to live in small compartments of 6 to 10 square meters, thereby maximizing land use efficiency. This is also what many media have rendered, claiming that Nisto
The free housing provided by the trust company is a modern prison. In fact, it is not the case. They provide decent accommodation with an area of 20 to 100 square meters. The exterior walls are painted with unnecessary colorful colors, which seems to improve the mood. Personal evaluation: It has a certain effect.”
Rachel Nakamura looks at the rows of new modular housing.
They are as beautiful as colorful crayons, and their arrangement has a geometric beauty.
She looked around and found that she really only needed such a big place to live.
20 square meters is enough. Rachel Nakamura tried rolling a few times in the living room and jumping on the spot to make sure that there was enough space for her to exercise.
Since Nisto provides work equipment, she only needs to install a lightweight office area in her residence and eliminate the tables and chairs originally prepared for guests. She would not entertain guests at home.
Then, she should give up the apartment she bought with a loan of 500,000 Thai dollars, move to Beijing, and live in such a decent free small room. Rachel Nakamura came to the conclusion.
In such a comfortable place, I can calm down and think about more things.
No wonder people in this place speak slowly and without any rush.
It turns out that they live in such a comfortable and leisurely place and don't feel rushed.
Very...relaxed.
It turns out there is such a place in the world. Nisto Company... is very strange and amazing. Rachel Nakamura had to admit it.
It sounds unbelievable to build such good housing for free and then give it to homeless people for free, but when you think about it being Nisto Company, it's normal.
She went downstairs and saw the A40 sitting on the side of the snowy road, with snowflakes piled on its helmet.
It now wears a light armor, with armor plates covering its chest like fish scales, and a red helmet with two long feathers on it. It looks like a medieval warrior, except for the flag on the back to identify ourselves and the enemy.
"So, you know the enemy..." A40 asked Rachel Nakamura.
"I will spend my whole life looking for the answer." Rachel Nakamura said.
"Well - not really -"
"Take me on a tour of the city." Rachel Nakamura interrupted A40, "Please."
She had seen how her mother did it when she was a child, so she folded her hands, leaned forward, and bowed deeply.
"Wow, there's nothing we can do about it, let me show you around District 24." A40 took Rachel Nakamura for a walk in the city.
She found that everything was clean and tidy. As a newly renovated area, District 24 was completely built with the theme of "facing the future".
Rachel Nakamura easily captured a large number of interconnected channels. Each building was connected with a high-speed network and reported its own garbage, logistics and commodity transaction records.
Most streets are in this seamless information exchange, making the urban area itself like an intelligent system. The situation of each unit is clear, and management and statistics can be easily carried out.
Just like a chessboard, Rachel Nakamura built relevant models in her digital mind and discovered that Nisto Corporation has achieved the ultimate in efficiency in city management.
When she came back to her senses, she saw many people wearing uniforms of different associations, looking around and walking around on the street, seemingly doing nothing, but occasionally they would suddenly stride across the street to pick up garbage or take care of the elderly.
.There are also some tasks that are performed collectively, such as snow clearing, checking street equipment, security patrols, etc.
"Who are those people? Tramps? Trying to attack lone people and steal from machinery and equipment?" Rachel Nakamura raised her hand and pointed.
"She's a social volunteer, right?" A40 looked over.
"Volunteer?" Rachel Nakamura felt like she heard a concept that only existed in large dictionaries.
"Wow, because meals and accommodation are free now, more and more people are volunteering and doing volunteer work. Similar organizations have been registered one after another, calling on people to help the poor, serve the elderly, the weak, the sick, etc., and also go to hospitals.
Nisto Company is also advocating for those who go to remote countryside. If you did this before, you would starve to death or be looked down upon. Now you are a respectable hard-working guy who does good things." A40 tried to describe what it knew.
.
"On the West Coast, if someone wants to do 'social service' or 'volunteer work', he will be quickly caught and turned into a victim, reduced to biochemical modification materials and mechanized toys. Or he will be stolen and chopped off.
Limbs, eviscerated and thrown into the trash. I've seen many irrational men and women die disgustingly while trying to work selflessly, entering dangerous areas to try to make improvements and repairs, free clinics, or giving relief to the poor."
Rachel Nakamura observes those people.
Volunteer service without expecting anything in return.
These people are obviously a very small minority in society, and they have a "naturally altruistic" temperament. Rachel Nakamura made a judgment.
When they see others being hurt, they immediately want to help. When they see others suffer, they want to donate some money. They are happy when others are happy and sad when others are sad. Rachel Nakamura observed.
Due to social conditions, this type of people would have become extinct.
And in this wonderful "zero-pressure society" environment, has this natural altruistic behavior been resurrected?
This is also inevitable. Rachel Nakamura suddenly reacted.
Because this society no longer punishes and insults good people.
Rachel Nakamura came to a park for a walk, and the environment here made her slow down for the first time in her life.
Everything is in order, there are not many people around, most of them are out walking their dogs or playing with their children.
"This is different from the propaganda. The online media on the West Coast are saying that Nisto Company is going to go bankrupt. The society is panicked, internally divided, and full of conflicts." Rachel Nakamura observed the situation around her.
It's incredibly quiet, with only the sound of engines from some shuttles flying across the sky. It's very peaceful, unlike the West Coast where violence can happen at any time.
"It's not because there are brave warriors like me protecting this place, and there are many hard-working men and women supporting the company's operations. It's not difficult to understand." A40 disagreed.
Quiet, peaceful, everyone has their own way.
Rachel Nakamura saw many people going out with their synthetic partners. It is very suitable to be a couple with a synthetic partner. They do not have any unpleasant functions, and they will not make all kinds of unreasonable demands. They will only accompany you silently and complete the task.
The user's instructions use itself to warm the user's every lonely night.
This is... an ordinary place, very suitable for life.
There are also areas like ordinary company cities, and financial activities are still very prosperous.
She crossed a bridge and left District 24, arriving at a place lined with commercial buildings.
Rachel Nakamura saw those familiar names, Kyoto Unlimited, Enomoto Bank, Jinyang Insurance Company, Carosi Media Group, and Dawn Investment Company. Their business in Shangjing is still prosperous, and some real estate companies are still alive and now operating luxury businesses.
Improved residences have also expanded the scale of overseas real estate agency work to meet people's endless material needs.
It was lunch time, and tens of thousands of company employees in black uniforms left the workplace in a hurry and went to the restaurant downstairs to look for food. For them, it was a routine between two o'clock and one line. More people did not show up.
, rely on nutritional cream to quickly get it done.
This was originally Rachel Nakamura's habit. She had set herself a fixed schedule for eating and self-cleaning.
Now the body has started to send out corresponding physiological signals according to the daily regulations, reminding her to replenish energy and prepare for the busy afternoon.
Expressionless corporate people passed by her one after another. They were chasing the direction of funds and changes in the stock market. A seemingly ordinary middle-aged man might very well hold shares worth billions.
Shangjing is still the largest financial center in the northern archipelago, and this will never change.
This is her own... kind! Rachel Nakamura stares at these company people.
The wild dogs and wolves of the financial industry!
She's so familiar.
Her current job is as a senior sales manager in an insurance company. She started as an entry-level sales representative and grew up to manage her own team. In addition to the help provided by her hacking skills, she also exhausted herself.
From health, self-esteem to conscience, the company will give you whatever it wants.
Empowerment, layering, track, cycle, resources, traffic, feedback, channels, layout, subdivisions... Looking at these people coming and going from Beijing companies, Rachel Nakamura felt that her previous working life was back.
Those reports, meetings, lies and deceit...
She's so used to it.
She should have joined the ranks of these beasts, foraged for food to fill her belly, and then entered a new round of fighting, risking her life for money.
But Rachel Nakamura felt relaxed, extremely relaxed. An unprecedented laziness prevailed.
Rachel Nakamura stood on the street.
Then she stepped back.
"Why are you walking backwards! If you fall, it's my fault!" A40 held the knife and stared at Rachel Nakamura.
"Try something new." She closed her eyes, stepped back, and returned from the bridge.
People, love yourself!
Rachel Nakamura revised her schedule and gave herself a long vacation.
