Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Monica, don't run around."

A woman and her daughter were looking around Jade's town. They came from a town more than 30 kilometers away to sell some food. The transaction was very smooth, and a lot of the food they brought had been sold. It's over.

The woman's name is Chris. She lost her husband two years ago and was left alone with her daughter to make a living. Her husband passed away due to illness. Although Chris was sad, she cheered up and raised her daughter. Her daughter Monica is now Already 6 years old.

Chris and her husband came to this grassland 10 years ago. They survived the hunger, cold and chaos. They thought they were about to live a good life, but unexpectedly, her husband left first.

Chris pulled her daughter Monica and walked through the crowded crowd. They had to buy some seasonings and a one-step heater, which could only be purchased in Jade's town.

It's too cold at night over there. Chris works in a pharmaceutical factory. Her monthly salary is good and she can buy a lot of food. The food production there is also good, so Chris will buy it. They brought some food and sold it to Jed's small town. After earning enough price difference, they could buy some industrial products.

Soon the mother and daughter came to a store. Chris looked at many large and small heating periods. The most expensive one cost 10 yuan, but it was a large one that could equip the entire supply. The cheapest one cost 2 yuan. money.

Chris looked at the 1 yuan and 9 cents in her hand and felt helpless. Soon the people in the store seemed to notice Monica's embarrassment, and then a man came over.

"Miss, I think you're pretty good-looking. You can work in the tavern over there for one night, and that'll be enough money to buy it."

"Mom, let's go."

Monica pointed to the pub with a smile, Chris's face showed embarrassment, she looked solemn, bit her lip, and the man came over with a smile.

"But if you can do my personal service once, I can help you advance the money."

The man smiled openly, and Kris lowered her head. On this grassland, pretty women can indeed earn a good income by serving other men, but Kris didn't want to do that. She took her daughter and left.

Along the way, her daughter asked why she didn't go to work. Chris didn't answer the question and just continued walking with her daughter in an attempt to find a cheaper heater.

The security in Jed's town is very good. People from the security team patrol the streets every day. Once any disputes are discovered, they will go there to persuade them to resolve them. Those who do not listen will be arrested directly.

Jade and Su Kang went to see the gods. The gods gave them a more advanced facial recognition system. Most of the people's information has been entered into the system. If they cause trouble in the town, they will be banned from entering the town if it is serious. , the time depends on the severity of the trouble.

Kris looked around and saw that there were many products in the town. Then she came to a store selling water purifiers. The water purifier only cost 1 yuan. Kris bought it after hesitation. She decided to buy it next time. .

Many people will buy this kind of independent water purifier. Where Chris and the others are located, the water source has a strong smell recently. Because it is close to the mining town, the water source must have been polluted. Now many people will buy a water purifier back home. .

It is said that this kind of water purifier was taught by the gods to the technicians in the town. It can effectively filter impurities and remove harmful substances from the water.

With 9 cents left, Chris decided to take her daughter to buy some food, and then went back. There was a candy store in the town that was doing very well. When Chris arrived at the candy store, the colorful candies made her daughter Monica jump with joy. got up.

Soon Chris bought 20 kilograms of candies for only 20 cents. Although she was a little reluctant to part with them, she happily paid for them when she saw her daughter's smile.

The mother and daughter took out some dry food, ate some, drank some water, and then planned to go back to the town.

The roads between the towns are all connected. It is only 5 pm now. As long as the mother and daughter walk slowly, they can return to their town by 10 pm.

Jade and Su Kang visited the God Queen, and all the towns received a lot of technological products, not just facial recognition technology, but also products that can enrich human life.

But all this has nothing to do with ordinary people, because many things are actually controlled by the family. Although many ordinary people have complaints, they are simply unable to resist the family's growing power.

Now that the family has begun to expand, they are expanding their power through marriages between family members and other powerful people.

Chris was also attracted by a man from the family before. She is still hesitant because the man has visited her several times.

"Mom, it's so delicious."

Monica smiled happily, and Chris took her out of Jade's town and walked along the road outside the town. There were many people along the way, and each town would send some people to patrol the roads to prevent To prevent robbery.

Because there have been many robberies before, all major towns will now send people to shoot and kill anyone who dares to rob.

Therefore, every town has recently introduced the most stringent governance measures, and robberies have rarely occurred.

People on the road are carrying things in big and small bags. Nowadays, free trade between towns is very developed. Many people run around in order to make money. Some people make money, and some people lose money.

This time Chris earned 1 cent from the food she brought, which is already a lot for her. Their monthly salary is only 2 yuan, and 1 cent is already a lot of money for many people.

The mother and daughter walked until 8 o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, there was light in the nearby town. At this time, Monica could no longer walk. She really wanted to go to the town to stay one night and go home tomorrow.

It only costs 30 minutes a night, and it also provides hot water and some food, which is very good.

"Monica, hold on a little longer. Mom will carry you on her back for a while, and then we can go home."

Monica was very unhappy. She immediately lay down on the ground. For a 6-year-old child, the 30-kilometer journey was indeed too desperate.

Although some towns have begun to have buses, they are very expensive, costing 50 cents each time, which is not cost-effective for Monica.

Seeing that her daughter was still being weird, Chris had to coax her up. Finally, Monica got tired and she lay on the floor and fell asleep. Although Chris was tired, she still picked up her daughter on her back and began to walk slowly. stand up.

This is the current situation of most people. In order to save a penny, they have to endure the most hardships.

Although many people gathered together to ask some factories in the town to increase wages, this move was of no use to the family. Instead, it would be regarded as a riot and directly suppressed.

Chris has seen several repressions, and they were all quite bloody. Over time, everyone stopped raising the issue of salary increases. After all, prices are not too high, and many people can live a good life with the salary they receive every month. .

So no one will mention the salary anymore. All this seems extremely uncomfortable to Chris. The current society reminds Chris of primitive capital society.

Many people work like cows and horses in exchange for their labor force, which is only enough for subsistence wages. Chris previously majored in social economics in college.

Chris feels that the current society is in a terrible state, and families are constantly consolidating their status. If this continues, sooner or later, a huge war will definitely break out.

Chris has already told the mayor about the current economic structure, but no one paid any attention to her remarks. A year ago, Chris worked hard and made some reports to the mayor. She thought the mayor would pay attention to it. , because if this economic structure continues, it will cause great harm to the overall economic structure.

Although the gods use AI as a financial system to adjust human society, the rights of the human society's structure must be decentralized so that there will be no continuous accumulation of primitive capital. But it is different now. Human rights are already controlled by a few people. in hands.

Such a structure will do no good to the future. Both world wars happened because of economic problems. Now history is about to repeat itself.

However, now Chris gave up and continued to explain to the mayor, because she knew that the mayors did not know what kind of problems this situation would cause, but no one was willing to disperse their power. They could only concentrate it and continuously consolidate their power. status.

All this seemed very ridiculous to Chris, but at the same time she was helpless.

With her daughter on her back and the things in her hands becoming heavy, Chris could hardly walk anymore, so she could only sit on the road to rest. Time passed by, it was already 10 o'clock, and there was still at least a few miles left to go. 5 kilometers is extremely difficult for Kris.

But she couldn't sleep on the roadside, otherwise she and her daughter would freeze to death the next morning.

Chris had an additional job as an accountant before, but since she started submitting some reports, she gradually lost her job and could only work as a tester in a pharmaceutical factory.

The mayor will not allow any objections, and any opponent will be kicked away. Chris has seen this very clearly.

At this time, Chris was very distressed. There were no more people on the road. Many people chose to go to the town to rest for a night. But Chris knew that no matter how hard it was, she had to persevere. If she wanted to save her daughter, It takes a lot of money to raise it.

At this moment, Chris fell into a coma. She knew very well that she had to move, otherwise her daughter and herself would freeze to death.

However, Chris was so tired that she now regretted not listening to her daughter and staying in the town for one night.

In a blur, Kris felt that her body became light and airy, and the biting cold disappeared. In her confusion, she saw herself floating in the air, and there were light blue particles floating slowly, biting. The coldness also disappeared.

Chris fell asleep peacefully. After a while, Chris suddenly woke up. She saw that she and her daughter were in the town, and there was a man with white hair in front of her, smoking a cigarette.

"Sir, were you the one who brought Monica and me to town?"

Chrissy looked at the handsome man in front of her, and she felt a little shocked, but at this moment she seemed to have thought of something, and immediately stood up and asked.

"Are you a god?"

Gene smiled and nodded.

"Miss, don't push yourself when you're too tired. If I hadn't passed by tonight, you and Monica would have frozen to death."

Chris immediately looked around and invited Gene to sit at home, and Gene nodded.

After a while, Chrissy returned to her home. She and her daughter lived on the second floor. After returning home, Chrissy hurriedly poured water for Gene.

"Lord Jean, can't you see what's happening now? If this continues, a war will definitely break out."

Chris told Gene everything she thought and the investigation report she had done before. Gene stood by the window and smoked silently, then smiled gently.

"Sorry ma'am, there's nothing we can do. We are currently conducting an extremely complex research that is related to the future of mankind, so we don't have the time and energy to manage everything."

"Then what are you here for, Sir Jean?"

Chris asked with sad eyes, and Gene smiled and shook his head.

"When I have nothing to do, I will look around and run around. It only takes me 10 minutes to come here, just to get some fresh air."

Chrissy's eyes dimmed, and she looked at Gene with some disappointment.

"Then Master Jean, you can assign one person to manage everything, just like a king."

Gene shook his head.

"I'm sorry, our current experiment is indispensable, and it cannot be done without any one person."

Then Gene put out his cigarette butt, stood at the window and smiled.

"Goodbye ma'am, don't sleep on the roadside again."

Chris ran over quickly and saw only a flash of blue light disappearing into the darkness in the distance. She closed the window and looked at her daughter sleeping on the bed. After turning off the light, she lay down on the bed.

In the dark, Chris was a little depressed. She really didn’t want to join in the same trap as some of the guys now, but the even breathing of her daughter at hand made Chris make a choice. She decided to agree to marry the mayor’s nephew, so that she And Monica don't have to worry about the future.

11pm

Gene stood quietly on the top of a hill. Below was a brightly lit town, where workers were still working.

"We must have made it possible."

Gene muttered, he knew that many people are living a bad life now, because capital has begun to appear on this grassland. Capital based on family units has almost monopolized everything, and 99% of people are working hard to create value. , while the 1% of people stand at the top and enjoy the value.

Capital is a double-edged sword. If you want to develop rapidly, you must rely on capital, and once capital begins to appear, it will never stop.
