"Isn't there anyone else in the 'Tower' Republic branch on the sea train?"

Qiao Xun asked Lu Xianyi.

"There must be, but they are all kept secret. I came here in my own name, so I definitely don't know. And I'm here without my family, so naturally I can't get information from them."

Lu Xianyi stood up, walked around the living room carpet, and said:

"The sea train is special, because the A ticket in the ticket is not issued to each branch, but is directly issued to the 'tower', and the 'tower' distributes it to the evolutionary in the form of rewards or tasks. Therefore, these evolutionary people are actually It is a relatively independent individual. There is a considerable degree of evolutionary people who will not choose to tell the branch. Because of the 'tower', the control of the evolutionary people by various governments is not at the level of ordinary public officials, but more like... a company And the staff. So, even if we run into an evolutionary from the Republic branch on the train, we won't necessarily be able to get help."

"From what you said, I feel that the relationship between governments and the 'Tower' should be cooperation and employment."

"Well, it's almost. The 'Tower' builds a network of evolvers, helps the government manage the evolvers, increases the rate of information flow, and avoids social unrest, while the government provides a social platform for the 'Tower'."

In the past, Qiao Xun always thought that the "tower" was an organization of the United Nations whose symbolic meaning was greater than its actual meaning. Now it seems that it is a large entity with actual power greater than that of the general government.

Seeing that Qiao Xun did not inquire further, Lu Xianyi asked her own question,

"For newcomers, there is a seven-day protection period. As far as the intelligence disclosed by Ai is concerned, these seven days are very critical and largely determine the risk factor of subsequent participation in random events. Should we continue to collect intelligence in depth to learn more?"

Qiao Xun nodded,

"That's for sure. Loving this kid is not reliable. The key lies in our own familiarity with the train environment, facility distribution, and structure."

Lu Xianyi thought for a while and said:

"Qiao Xun, I noticed that people in the general area basically act alone. I don't believe they didn't think about cooperating with other people when they first boarded the car, but in the end they all became independent actions. This must happen. We have to be prepared to act separately from each other, I think.”

At this point, Lu Xianyi showed the qualities of a guide, and considered it very thoughtfully, indicating this possibility in advance to prepare for the unexpected situation in the future.

"you're right."

Lu Xianyi frowned,

"My personal concern, the reason for going it alone is that random events break down the trust between partners. If that's the case, we probably won't be able to avoid going to a head-to-head situation."

"Emotions and desires are the key words for disintegrating social relations. As long as these two points can be controlled well, the voice of this kind of thing can be avoided to a large extent."

Lu Xianyi nodded, her eyes darkened, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qiao Xun stood up and said with a smile:

"Okay, the seven-day protection period is precious, and we have to make good use of it. Learn about the train's environmental structure, social relations, and more."

"Then are we separate or together."

"It's best to be together. Then our information will be transparently shared with each other. If we are separated, it is inevitable that there will be information asymmetry. Once the information is wrong in the interpersonal relationship, such interpersonal relationships will be easily disintegrated by external factors."

Lu Xianyi thought for a while and felt that what Qiao Xun said was reasonable. Now, they are still partners of their peers, and it is best to ensure transparency. After all, the future cannot be controlled, so it is better to control the present.

The two made preparations and left the house.

As soon as Qiao Xun walked out of the far door, he saw the man with eyes in the elevator standing diagonally across the street, looking towards him.

He clearly noticed that after the man with glasses saw him appear, his eyelids trembled a few times, and his eyes became slightly excited.

Intuition told Qiao Xun that he was being targeted by the man with glasses.

He did some statistics. So far, there were five people who knew that he was a newcomer, except for Lu Xianyi. The four people who took the elevator together in the morning and love.

There may also be instances where these individuals spread this information.

"It's a loss of information unequal."

The man with glasses gave Qiao Xun a weird smile, then turned and left.

Qiao Xun frowned, watching his decadent back disappear into the field of vision.

The man with glasses gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.

Lu Xianyi came out of her house, saw Qiao Xun looking into the distance, and asked curiously:

"What are you looking at?"

"The man with glasses from before. He may have been eyeing me."

Qiao Xun walked in the direction of the elevator and said as he walked:

"He knew I was a rookie and, as Love said, chose to prey on me after the rookie protection week ended."

"Then we should prepare in advance."

Qiao Xun nodded and said nothing.

The two left the 4 car and entered the elevator.

With their current authority, the places they can go are: the other nine carriages except one car in the general area, the dining area, the entertainment area, the public square and the service area.

He had planned to visit the livestock area, but it turned out that no one could enter except the staff.

In the general area, except for 1 car, the environment distribution of the nine carriages is exactly the same, with two main roads, 80 houses and a clock tower.

The dining area is nothing special.

The service area mainly provides services such as medical care, supermarkets, reading and learning, consultation, and VIP area upgrades. There is a fee for every service, and it's not cheap, especially medical services. There are so many people in the hospital in the service area, you can imagine how high the injury rate is on the train.

The highlight is the entertainment area.

Casinos, arenas, arenas, paralysis clubs, customized...

Pornography, gambling, drugs, blood, violence, all the things that people enjoy, enjoy, indulge in, and vent their desires and negative emotions are here.

As soon as they arrived in the carriage belonging to the entertainment area, Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi could immediately feel the extravagant atmosphere of being intoxicated with money. The stench of desire filled every corner of the carriage. People with numb and desperate expressions were taken out of the casino by the security guards, and the expression only had the expression "lost as domestic animals" written on their faces.

There are a lot of people who lose into livestock, and there is no shortage of people who have won a lot of money. "Regular" casinos, both losers and winners are protected by the law, and they don't have to worry about being hacked, so they can walk out triumphantly.

For Qiao Xun, the entertainment area is simply a large nutrient center.

Because it is full of various emotions, ecstasy, fear, despair, worry, impulsiveness, sexual desire... These are all excellent nutrients that his "lust" can absorb and convert into his own body energy.

If it wasn't for the newcomers not being able to enter the casino, Qiao Xun would immediately walk into the grand casino with gorgeous decorations and bright lights.

In short, although the entertainment area has an "entertainment", it gives people a very bad sense. A whole "slavery of desire".

Throughout the day, Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi wandered around every corner of the area where they could enter.

Qiao Xun accurately constructed a model of the observed scene distribution and environmental facilities in his mind. On the way, he used "Zaiyin" a lot, trying to reveal the dark side of some buildings, but the buildings on the train seemed to have a layer of shielding film built into them. through.

At the end of the day, Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi went back to their respective homes under the dull and loud midnight bell of the clock tower.

At night, lying in bed, Qiao Xun began to organize, summarize, and analyze the collected basic information,

Sleepless nights.

Fortunately, his mental strength is high now, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep all night.

...

Sunday, December 2, 2035.

According to time, today is the third day of this random event.

Of course, this random event is a safety day, nothing to say.

Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi continued to explore and observe the train. Unlike yesterday's observations of the environment, today they are mainly aimed at people.

Throughout the day, they watched the coming and going of passengers in the train's sixteen built-in rail elevators.

Passengers in the general area are roughly divided into three categories by them:

The first: people who live above livestock and below food and clothing. This type of people is the largest, accounting for about two-fifths. Most of them looked sullen, and there was not a hint of vitality on their faces.

Second: People with better living conditions and low-key behavior, who do not go to entertainment areas. This type of person is relatively ordinary, and walking on the street is similar to ordinary shooting.

Third: People who linger in the entertainment area and forget to eat and sleep. Such people are the most complex, ranging from the very rich and powerful to the very poor and weak.

Due to legal regulations, innate abilities are not allowed on safe days and non-random events.

Therefore, Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi could not have a clear assessment of their strength for the time being.

With the help of a professional guide like Lu Xianyi, Qiao Xun avoided many detours in this preliminary data collection and intelligence summary. Although Lu Xianyi is usually quite noisy, but when it comes to work, it can be said that she is a very effective partner.

In the evening, Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi returned with a full load. As soon as they returned to the 4-car house, they saw a thin, thirsty boy standing at the door of House No. 13.

Love.

Seeing Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi coming back, Ai habitually shrank her neck, then looked back and forth, left and right, and walked forward with her head lowered slightly,

"You are back."

He didn't know the names of Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi yet.

Qiao Xun looked at him and asked:

"Is there a problem?"

"Otherwise, go in and talk. It's... cold outside."

"No. Say something outside."

Love was stunned for a moment. He clearly felt that Qiao Xun's attitude towards him was different from yesterday, very... indifferent. What's the matter, doesn't this person want my information?

Seeing Ai's slightly raised black eyebrows, Qiao Xun thought to himself, "I'm not satisfied, right? It's okay to be dissatisfied. If I return to make you satisfied, wouldn't I be the one to serve you?" If you want to get benefits from me, you are a little worse.

Ai swallowed her saliva and chose to endure it. In his opinion, Qiao Xun is no more than a newcomer. He has lived here for fifteen years. Although he is down and out, he knows more than a newcomer like you.

"The two of you must know that tomorrow is Monday."

"Well, bounty day."

"Even though there is a Newcomer Protection Week, there is no rule restricting newcomers from participating in the Bounty Day. If the two of you have the idea of ​​participating in the Bounty Day tomorrow, we can cooperate."

"Cooperation……"

Qiao Xun looked up and down this thin and dark-eyed teenager, and walked outside on the street. People who saw him would think he was taking drugs.

"What can you offer? Combat power, or support, or a doctor?"

Love paused. He knew very well that in his current state, it would definitely not work.

"Information! My parents used to be only one step away from the VIPs. I know what kind of reward is the most cost-effective in the reward day, and which part of the polluted area is relatively safer. There are also... some special ways to earn points."

Joe asked:

"There is a way to earn points, why don't you use it yourself?"

"Because...my talent is too weak to use it."

"What is it?"

Ai's eyes widened, she bit her lip, her voice became slightly louder,

"You can't ask me anything and I'll answer everything. Cooperation, I'm here to discuss cooperation, not to send warmth."

Qiao Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly:

"Looking at your appearance, it should be a mixed-race child. There is a saying in the East Asian Confucian cultural circle that if you are diligent at nothing, you are either a traitor or a thief. What kind of person are you?"

Love clearly understood the meaning of this sentence, gritted her teeth, and said in a nasal voice:

"I've said it all, I'm not sending warmth, I'm talking about cooperation! My bargaining chip is intelligence, I just hope you can take me with me. I can't complete the reward task alone."

"Why don't you find someone else?"

"The others... are crazy. I think you'll be better."

This reason is hard to believe.

Qiao Xun looked at Lu Xianyi and asked:

"Do you have any ideas?"

Lu Xianyi looked at love and smiled softly, and said softly:

"Little brother, if you lie, I have 10,000 ways to make your life worse than death."

Seeing Lu Xianyi's transparent and mysterious pupils, the love creature instinctively took a step back. Instead he realizes that in the sea train, the law is above all else. So he said forcefully:

"I don't lie."

"That's it, I have nothing to say."

Lu Xianyi said, standing aside with a faint smile.

Love felt an air of unease emanating from her.

Joe Tour said:

"I don't want to comment on whether you are trustworthy or not. But let me give you a piece of advice. It's best not to overestimate your own IQ and mutter about other people's IQ. Well, that's it, temporary cooperation is fine."

Hearing that Qiao Xun agreed to cooperate, Ai exhaled. He thought that the first step was completed, and it would be easy to talk about it later. Glancing at the two with a relaxed and natural expression, he thought, the newcomer is really a newcomer, always so unscrupulous.

"On the bounty day, the public square will open the bounty hall at 5:30 in the morning."

"Then meet at the public square at five o'clock."

"it is good."

After Ai finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, then turned around and left.

It's really cold outside. For Qiao Xun's unwillingness to let him enter the room to speak, he secretly wrote it down in his heart.

Under the dim light, Qiao Xun looked at Lu Xianyi suspiciously:

"There are really 10,000 ways to make his life worse than death?"

Lu Xianyi gave him a white look,

"Imaginary numbers, don't you understand imaginary numbers!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and entered her house.

Qiao Xun: "..."

...

December 3, 2035 ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Monday, Bounty Day.

As soon as midnight arrived, after the dull and loud twelve bells of the clock tower rang, the broadcast from above followed—

"Dear passengers and friends, today is December 3, 2035, Monday, the reward day. As the beginning of the week, it is a good start to exchange hard work and sweat for the corresponding reward. The reward hall will be opened in the early hours of the morning. It opens at five o'clock, and travelers who want to earn points should not miss it.

At present, the train has traveled to the Strait of Malacca, and will open a bounty day on the coast of Sumatra in the Indonesian region. The Strait of Malacca is in the equatorial windless zone, and most of the year is calm. I believe that this time the reward day will be easier. But all passengers and friends, please be sure to pay attention to safety. You are the train's most valuable asset. "

The last sentence echoed in Qiao Xun's mind.

You... are the train's most valuable asset.

That's right, they become livestock, they can work for free, provide food, and they become VIPs, which is the core group of the train.

"Respect" and "friend" are called one by one, it's really friendly.
