Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Tommy hung up the phone and stared at a few secretaries quietly. They were still processing some documents. There were a lot of things going on today. Tommy would stay in the office all day and sign some documents.

Tommy could see that everyone felt uneasy about Tommy pardoning the chef, because everyone thought of a problem. Tommy's approach was against the law, and such an approach was the approach of a dictator.

Everyone knows that this country now belongs to Tommy. There were a lot of things happening this morning. There are still people standing outside the presidential residence because Tommy’s sudden and indirect actions are confusing. .

First, it announced the dissolution of Congress, and then directly replaced the top brass of the military department, appointed a new director of WBI, and also investigated Blackwater.

A series of events made it difficult for people to understand what happened. The most critical thing was the country's wartime preparations, which made many people speculate about what happened in this country.

What most people speculate the most is the monsters that appear on the sea and outside national borders. It may be that these monsters have begun to invade human society.

In the past, many science programs have talked about the habits of these monsters. They are afraid of light and will rarely go close to areas where humans live. There are also endless studies on these monsters, but many studies have produced no results.

Although people are a little panicked, many people are more willing to believe Tommy in the face of Tommy's recent series of actions.

Tommy gave a televised speech early this morning, saying that the reasons for entering wartime alert would be slowly announced within the next month.

Although many media outlets were speculating about the incident, the situation has been stabilized due to Tommy's televised speech.

"Okay, everyone, I hope you all work hard. I'm going to go out for a while."

After Tommy finished speaking, he went out, and a group of security guards immediately followed him, spreading out around Tommy. The repair work would take a few days, but now the workers have come over and started cleaning up the site.

It was claimed that yesterday's accident was due to old equipment, which caused a short circuit and caused an explosion. People in the army had already dealt with it yesterday.

Tommy smoked a cigarette leisurely and strolled on the lawn. The perimeter of the mansion had been cordoned off by soldiers, and many people were watching from a distance.

At this time a phone call came, it was from Justin.

"How's it going, Director Justin?"

"Lant wants to name the people who were involved in their meeting last night. Hopefully this will alleviate the crime."

Tommy said with a smile.

"You can definitely promise him, but it's just verbal."

"Mr. President, this kind of thing"

"Maybe the book title will work, but the agreement will be invalidated afterwards, so that's it."

Tommy hung up the phone and sat in the booth with a smile. Soon someone brought coffee. Tommy looked at some information on the Internet and smiled. Now people everywhere are supporting Tommy.

Because of Tommy's approach, many places that were originally poor areas have become full of life.

"The future is completely under control."

Tommy stared at the street in the distance with serious eyes. Someone rushed over and was immediately knocked down. Tommy directly contacted the soldiers outside.

"Let's go out and take a look."

A bunch of security guards looked horrified, and the security captain said immediately.

"Mr. President, it's still safe in the mansion, outside."

"it's not a big deal."

After Tommy finished speaking, he stood up, but the security guards still lowered their heads. They did not dare to let the president leave the residence. If he left the residence, he would most likely be exposed to the sight of snipers.

Tommy still walked out, and soon more security guards followed. The soldiers outside also looked very nervous. Some flying combat vehicles had already taken off and were on guard in the airspace near Tommy.

Soon Tommy came to a man who was being held down by soldiers, with a flag next to him holding an objection slogan.

(Go against what Tommy is doing, it’s ruining the country!)

As soon as Tommy looked over, the people outside who were blocked by the human wall formed by the PLC began to boil. There were hundreds of them. They were all dissatisfied with Tommy's resolution and were all shouting and demonstrating.

Tommy asked people to bring in loudspeaker equipment and tables and chairs. The man on the ground stood up. Tommy signaled the soldiers to let him go. The man looked angry and sat down on a chair at the soldiers' signals. superior.

"Sir, what is your name?"

"My name is Connor."

Tommy smiled and nodded. At this time, a large number of reporters arrived. No one expected that Tommy would walk out of the mansion.

"Tell me what you think. Why are you protesting?"

Tommy clasped his hands together and lit a cigarette, Connor immediately said angrily.

"Because what you did has destroyed the market, my wife and I originally worked in a securities company, but because of what you did, we lost our jobs. We are almost unable to pay our mortgage."

Tommy hummed, and then Connor continued.

"You let some mature large companies go bankrupt, and some immature small companies appeared one after another. They just wanted to rob the market. Although many people's income has increased, a mature and stable market is..."

"Mr. Connor, I'm sorry for interrupting you, but there is only one thing I want to say. While you are complaining that you no longer have a job, or that the job you found later is not as easy as the previous job, have you considered one thing? ?”

Connor was stunned. Although the demonstrators outside had calmed down, they were still whispering.

"The reason why you can work comfortably is because you have good backgrounds, beautiful academic qualifications, and the cost of trial and error. In the end, you entered a big company and obtained good profits through your own abilities. Working comfortably every day is, at most, Eight hours, then, and in the evening you can wine and dine, or spend quality time with your wife and kids.”

After Tommy finished speaking, he glanced around at the protesters outside. Most of them were elites, and Tommy laughed.

"People should not be so selfish, they are still human beings, but there are still many people who have trouble even earning 1D every day. You say they are poor because they don't work hard, but have you ever thought about being born? Have you ever thought about the rich people who monopolize everything? You guys? The reason why you were able to make money easily before is not because of how outstanding your abilities are, but because you rely on capital and a market that has been monopolized. Therefore, you can make money in this market with just a little bit. Wealth can be easily obtained through knowledge and hard work.”

Connor retorted in shock.

"We also work very hard, but those at the bottom don't work hard at all, which is why they are poor. They are uneducated and have no skills."

Tommy laughed.

"Well, everyone, if you are dissatisfied, let's take a gamble."

Tommy stood up, stared at the group of people in front of him seriously, and then said.

"One month, as long as you can survive in the lower-level area for one month, I will compensate each of you ten times the average annual salary before unemployment. How about it?"

As soon as Tommy finished speaking, the place fell silent.

"Take off your suits, put away your resentment, and go to the lower-level markets, supermarkets or service industries to see if your so-called knowledge is useful in the lower-level environment. Each of you has a start-up capital of 100D. "

After Tommy finished speaking, the reporters asked questions one after another. Connor had an embarrassed look on his face. Many of the protestors also looked embarrassed, but some still started shouting.

"I will ask the TV reporters to live broadcast all your actions every day. Remember to survive for a month. If you can't survive, you will choose to quit. Those who quit need to be punished. Donate your salary from last year."

Suddenly someone shouted directly.

"Just bet."

Tommy laughed and then said.

"This live broadcast will be fair and impartial throughout. People all over the country can see it. You have randomly selected it. I have listed more than 100 poverty-stricken areas in the country. You can go to the bottom and try to see if you can survive for a month. ."

Then Tommy called some secretaries and asked them to start drawing up the contract. Some senior executives from the TV station came, and they quickly assigned a working team, three to a team, to follow the experimenter throughout the day.

Connor looked at the contract in front of him and hesitated, Tommy smiled.

"If everyone can survive, I will achieve what everyone wants and withdraw some resolutions. If only half of them can survive."

Connor decisively signed, and then more and more people signed. Finally, 476 people signed, and a mighty show began.

Then Tommy went back, and by about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the lottery machine had been made. It was not mechanical, but based on the method of drawing lots. The TV stations were reporting on it.

The major TV stations have also negotiated and dispatched a large number of staff, and local departments have also begun to coordinate and coordinate.

A huge reality show has begun. There have been reality shows in the past where the rich went to the bottom to experience it, but Tommy knew very well that many of the programs were arranged for the sake of program effect.

Most of those rich people have made money by relying on their intelligence, and some have even made money in a short period of time that ordinary people would hardly make in a lifetime.

Tommy showed a proud smile. There are currently 127 slums, so there are 60,452 addresses in the lottery machine. Everyone can spin it before drawing.

The person who drew the location quickly boarded the TV station's flying car and rushed directly to the location, holding a money container issued by the state with 100D in it.

Someone on the Internet has calculated that 100D can live in the bottom area for a month, and 3D can already eat enough every day in that low-priced bottom area.

Some people even came up with suggestions to let these participants find some parks or bus stations to sleep.

But those who go are not allowed to bring any supplies, so the first thing most of them need to do is find a place to sleep.

Time passed very quickly, and more than 400 people finished their draws at 8pm. The challenge officially started at 0pm tonight, and it was broadcast live on TV stations across the country. The three people would alternately film the daily status of these people.

For this purpose, everyone in the film crew brought simple warm sleeping bags. Tommy smiled and turned on the crystal screen at home. Selena was a little scared.

"My dear, 100D is indeed enough to live on."

Selina said and Tommy nodded.

"It's enough to live on, but only for people who have lived in the ghettos."

Tommy directly found Connor's live broadcast. He was already waiting, walking around the ghetto and talking about his thoughts.

"I will find a job first. My skills are still applicable here."

Seeing Connor's very confident look, Selena felt something was wrong because Connor was too conceited.

"How many days do you think he can last?"

Selina scratched her head and then said.

"He may not be able to hold on to such an idea for a week."

Connor was talking about his plan at this time. He walked around and got to know the local price situation. A meal can be very filling for only 1D. Most hotels cost 10D a night. Such a cheap hotel can take a bath, or Get a good night's sleep after exhaustion.

Time passed by, and when it was close to 0 o'clock, Connor bought a hot dog for 0.8D and found a sheltered alley in the neighborhood because the alley seemed quite clean.

Connor spent another 10D on a sleeping bag that looked good.

Selina, who had just finished taking a shower, looked at it suspiciously, but soon she felt something was wrong.

Because there are many bars and other places nearby, Tommy stood up and smiled.

"This night has been hell for him. Let's sleep."

Tommy carried Selina to bed, and the two quickly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Tommy got up and turned on the crystal screen, and Selina laughed.

Connor seemed to be in a bad state of mind. He almost didn’t sleep well all night. It was very uncomfortable to be in such a noisy neighborhood at night and he couldn’t sleep at all. Connor went to a quiet hotel nearby and wanted to sleep, but was told Have to pay for 3D.

Connor had no choice but to leave. He was sleeping in the park at this time. Because of his exhaustion and hunger all night, he ate an 8D meal in the morning and bought wine. Now Connor has spent more than 20D.

Tommy casually browsed other people's live broadcasts, and he was almost exactly the same as Connor. The reality in the lower-level areas was more cruel, which they couldn't understand, and the personal taxes and fees in each state every day were a headache. Yes, if you don’t pay, fines will accumulate.

At noon, Tommy saw that many people could no longer bear it and began to eat big meals, because although the cheap food at the bottom looked good value for money, the taste and ingredients were unacceptable to these people.

At this time, the first person to withdraw appeared. A woman directly announced her abstention. She was tortured crazy all night and also encountered danger.

Tommy laughed.

"About a third of people will give up today."

After Tommy finished speaking, Selina nodded.

"But I think there will be more, because they simply can't survive." (End of Chapter)
