Overturned Tower - Vol 2.3 Chapter 103

【Overturned Tower】【】

The white lion, the stag, and the delphinium… As combatants and the three senior members of the Fuji Society, they went to the headquarters of the Fuji Society on Yongquan Island and started preparing for tonight’s battle.

Firearms, ammunition, medicine, and various psionic chips must be adequately supplied.

Although it may not be useful in the end, it is better than not preparing for anything when it is really used.

After Russell helped Xiaoya deal with her injuries, he, together with Camerer II, transferred her to the Ampoule Biomedical Branch.

——If it is the executive director of the head office of Tianen Group, Russell’s name is definitely not easy to use on Yongquan Island. Let alone a minister, even if he was promoted to a higher level and entered the board of directors as a human, it would be useless to come here.

After all, this is Yongquan Island… the most noble area among the seven sky islands, the monopoly of all resources and materials, and the only sky island protected by giant dragons. Although in theory, the status of the seven giants is basically equal. But it is certainly impossible to say that they are all in the same position. There will always be some giants that are more “equal” than others.

Russell didn’t exchange a large amount of gold bars for credits that could only be used locally. Technically, he didn’t even spend a penny.

As the next “Saar”, the sole heir designated by the previous generation of “Saar”, and the next chairman of Shenzhi Heavy Industries – he does have the power to give orders to other branches outside of his own sky island.

In addition, “Kamarser” who is also an elf with a name…the face of the two of them together is enough for the elf director of Ampoule’s Yongquan Island branch to waive their bills and give them Xiaoya arranged a luxury suite.

Although this place is also inside the Ampoule Biomedical Park, strictly speaking, it does not belong to a hospital, but a “sanatorium”.

Outside there is an area of ​​more than 20 acres, with more than 60 artificial hot springs of different sizes, types and functions, and a majestic rockery composed of soil, stones and plants dug directly from the ground— There is no doubt that this is the technology of Taoyuan Commercial Bank.

All floors here are self-cleaning floors. There is no need to send someone to clean it. It only needs to absorb water to automatically decompose the dirt, sterilize it efficiently, and then dry it by itself, so that it can be cleaned directly. It is the same material as the handkerchief of Camerer II, and it also belongs to the convenience technology of Taoyuan Trading Company.

Almost all the people recuperating here are old people. Although Xiaoya doesn’t know any of them at all, and the old people seem to be very kind and kind, and have a very friendly attitude towards her… But one can only intuitively realize that the people here are some big shots.

They may not necessarily be from Yongquan Island, but may also be senior executives from other empty islands—considering factors such as consumption, environment, safety, and atmosphere, these directors will either go to Taoyuan Island or Yongquan Island after retirement. And there has always been a high degree of cooperation between the two islands.

Yongquan Island needs a lot of advanced convenience technology and designers from Taoyuan Island, and Taoyuan Island also needs a huge amount of clean materials from the ground to pile up various wonders. The relationship between them is much closer and more friendly than that between Sun Island, Sogo Island and Tongshen Island—Sun Island and Sogo Island continue to produce various top scholars, and then Tongshen Island continues to learn from them. There to dig people.

Xiaoya even saw many special machine servants from Sogo Island, prayer devices and cyber nuns from the Cyber ​​Church, and a large number of masseuses from Happy Island—they are not only handsome but also beautiful, and they have undergone several transformations , The figure and appearance look flawless, with a dignified and elegant temperament. There are also psychic breath masters from Sun Island who will teach a yoga-like breathing technique, relaxation technique, and meditation, combined with special aromatherapy, which can definitely increase the level of blue shift without side effects.

Even for ordinary people who have not awakened psychic powers, the increase in blue shift level can allow them to better control their bodies and emotions, which is also a kind of spiritual “rehabilitation”.

Just in the process of being pushed into the wheelchair, Xiaoya passed the giant screen cinema, imitation forest oxygen bar, a large number of swimming pools and waterways, and the library—

— Yes, libraries stocked with large volumes of paper books.

It is said that reading paper books is also a ritual used to relax the mind. Of course, the books here are all replicas—not because the genuine ones are unaffordable, but because ancient books that are “too rich in history” will also burden the body. The books here are guaranteed to be clean and brand new, and the paper is made of the best waterproof paper, which will not be damaged even if it is soaked in water.

“Even the headquarters of Sacred Blood Island does not have this kind of sanitarium. The Sacred Blood Island is quite boring and mediocre. There are only a large number of social animals and researchers who are doing massive biological, chemical and medical research every day. , and busy going to various meetings and lectures, writing relevant reports, and then continuing to hold endless meetings. Some are study sessions, some are report meetings, some are exhibitions… Various academic forums and industry summits emerge in endlessly, news The reports are all professional knowledge.”

Russell, who was pushing a wheelchair, sighed behind Xiaoya: “In Sacred Blood Island, there is not even any entertainment. It is different from my hometown, Sogo Island. The job competition on Sacred Blood Island is not fierce, and almost everyone can find a job. “”Isn’t that similar to Yongquan Island?”

“It’s not the same. The only problem with Holy Blood Island is overtime work… It’s different from the voluntary overtime work on Sogo Island and the unfinished work on Tongshen Island. They are universal and customary overtime work. Even if there is nothing wrong If you want to do it, they can’t go back.

“Because the entire Ampoule department is working unlimited overtime, if you don’t work overtime, you are out of the group. And Ampoule controls more than half of the companies. Once you leave the company in the Ampoule department, you can only go to other small companies that will burp at any time.

“In the ampoule department, male workers aged 26 to 60 sleep less than three hours a day on average, work about 30 days a month, and can only take one day off every two months. Holiday—that is, on ’31, they can have a holiday. Yes, they don’t have the concept of weekends, only ’31, this concept.

“Many employees of the ampoule department usually live directly in companies, hospitals, and research institutes, and many of them haven’t even returned home once in a year or two.”

“…Then it will be a sudden death?” Xiaoya just listened, and felt that her heart was so crushed that she couldn’t move.

“It’s so easy to die, it’s the Holy Blood Island.”

Lothar, who followed Russell, shook his head: “Their medical technology is very advanced, and it is not easy to want to die.”

Russell responded: “Yes. I sometimes use their medicine when I am too busy. It is really good. It can effectively prevent sudden death and maintain work efficiency. I used to know a friend who was in important I take this medicine before the exam, so that I can stay up late and study for a day or two without sleep, and I can feel refreshed during the exam without headache or sleepiness.

“This kind of medicine is squeezing the body’s potential after all… So the Holy Blood Island also sells another kind of medicine, which can replenish nutrients and repair the body. These two medicines are very expensive in other sky islands, but only in the Holy Blood Island. Bulk access – or, simply working in the ‘ampule line’, a full monthly dispensation of the drug.

“Of course they can also start their own businesses, join small companies, or become self-employed, but then they have to buy this medicine at the market price. Otherwise, even if they work seven or eight hours a day, the effective time may not be enough. More than three hours; in any case, it cannot compete with peers who can work efficiently for 20 hours a day. So those companies will definitely go bankrupt.

“Whereas on Holy Blood Island, everyone’s income is very low, there is no ‘high-paying occupation,… change direction to achieve fairness. But it also puts more pressure on people to quit, so there is no ‘job-hopping income’ The higher the chance, the higher the possibility. Unless your superior transfers you, the company you enter when you graduate from college is the company you leave when you retire.

“—Therefore, a better way to make money is to sell drugs on the black market. Sell the ‘anti-death drugs’ that the company distributes to them every day.”

…black market? ”

Xiaoya vaguely realized something.

Russell nodded: “Yes, it is the black market controlled by the rioters. It is now under the jurisdiction of the Relief Society.”

That also means that without the medicine to protect the body, sudden death may occur at any time.

And the fresh corpses on the Holy Blood Island are extremely

for scarce resources. Naturally, the companies that distribute the medicines to them are not doing welfare—if they still die voluntarily or involuntarily due to various reasons despite providing sufficient medicines, then their bodies will belong to the company that issued their medicines.

If left alone after death, many organs will quickly lose their value. For example, in the lower city of Happy Island, those rapes are generally dissected—dissected while the person is alive, so as to obtain absolutely fresh materials. As for the Holy Blood Island, their technology is more advanced.

On the Holy Blood Island, death is considered death if the heart stops beating. There is no need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, thrombolysis, defibrillation, and anti-shock, because ordinary people cannot afford rescue fees, and those who can afford rescue fees will not go to work. So there is no need for rescue at all.

On Sacred Blood Island, where medical technology is the most advanced, the medical expenses for resuscitation are the most expensive—because there are absolutely no “black market doctors” and other “wild road hospitals” on Sacred Blood Island. This means that one company has a complete monopoly and controls all the hospitals, doctors, drug research institutes, drug factories, pharmacies…

For those employees who died suddenly at the workplace, professionals would rush over when the chip alarm. The moment the chip reports death, they will be stabbed with several needles all over their bodies, and then they will be quickly dragged out for disassembly. Starting from the loss of breathing and heartbeat, I didn’t wake up by myself for about three minutes, and I couldn’t wake up again. Their brains will even be stored as precious materials, and no material will be wasted on the whole body.

Of course, the hospital occasionally conducts some unpaid rescue. This is usually because they lack some volunteers to test the drug, and the family hopes that they will survive anyway. So they can live.

After surviving, their ownership belongs to the hospital and the research institute behind the hospital.

“…Isn’t this the company killing people?”

Xiaoya was indignant: “Does the dragon not care?”

Camalther II was also very helpless: “Because on the bright side, they have not crossed the line.

“The ampoules are all arranged, and they have something to say—because those who don’t want to die can’t die. Their drug technology is more advanced than the ancestors.”

Ampoules are medicines that employees take in combination every day. They are extremely expensive, but they are also very effective. Even on Russell’s income, it hurts when you stay up late on drugs.

But in fact, the cost of this drug is obviously not high, otherwise it would not be possible for so many people to take it. This is one of the very few technologies that is more developed than the previous era – a completely crooked skill tree is also a feature of this world.

As long as the employees work and live normally, nothing will happen. Their life is very peaceful, although a little tight, but generally without any risks. I won’t be fired, and I won’t die suddenly. All the income is just right, and I even have some savings if I calculate it. But a little extra spending might not be enough.

However, as soon as they sell the drug to the underground black market – it starts to fall into the abyss.

In the beginning, it was just one serving per week or even one per month. This level does not cause any damage to the body, because the initial drug distribution has calculated the safety margin. After all, everyone’s drug adaptability and sensitivity are different.

But going to work becomes a dangerous job as they realize that even a week’s shift won’t make as much money as selling a bottle of pills. They will try their best to compress the work content until they have a less busy day, and sell the medicine for this day. Even three or four bottles can be sold in a month, and this level will not cause too much damage to the body. Or they can sell the medicine separately—for example, only sell tonics, or only sell sleep medicines, so that they can squeeze out another bottle or two.

“…It sounds like it’s okay?”

Xiaoya was a little puzzled: “It’s just a little tired, but the income has directly doubled…why would anyone want to sell more medicine?”

‘…Because, only a very small number of people will stop here. ”

Camalthy II’s face was a bit complicated, he hesitated to speak.

Russell explained: “This kind of sudden harvest will overwhelm their values, and there must be mental pressure at work,’

Take risks of all kinds, be extremely difficult, consistently drain energy, drain stamina, or destroy at least three of your bodies. No matter how noble the work is, it will eventually be exhausted and boring. There is no such thing as absolute happiness in this world.

“In the end, it is the rewards of work that satisfy them—maybe it is monetary rewards, or it may be the improvement of abilities, or the gratitude of others, and they have created beautiful things. This is a kind of stimulation that makes them become Restoring a tired spirit.

“For most people, the most powerful incentive is money gain. But the high income they get from selling drugs destroys their incentive to go to work to make money, which makes their work a complete job. negative attrition process.”

“At the same time, they need more money … once they get used to a more expensive life, it’s not going to go down.”

Camerer II continued.

They did not shy away from talking bad things about the Ampoule Group in the branch of Ampoule Biomedical, and no one dared to trouble them yet. But from another point of view, they are also not afraid of being told about these things…From any point of view, these are not secrets.

“Further study, marriage, buying a house, floating car, children’s education, luxury goods, electronic products, krypton gold, deposits… and ‘pets’. If they don’t have hope at the beginning, their money is enough. But if it comes suddenly Income, make them inflated, then they can’t stop.”

“At the beginning, it might be a stylish watch. Then, I would think of a tie to match the watch. After all, the tie is not expensive. And if I have a watch and tie, I will want a better formal dress. Ruthless, I gritted my teeth and bought formal clothes, and found that my shoes were still very cheap. After making up the shoes, I got a shirt again. I bought everything, and I wanted to get involved in more advanced social life… ”

When Russell said this, he pursed his lips silently.

Xiaoya turned her head and looked at his strange expression—like pity, sneer, and hatred.

She was obviously very conflicted about this kind of thing. But he can easily read emotions from him… This is by no means Xiaoya’s talent, but “releasing one’s own emotions”. Just like a peerless actor, he only needs a tiny movement and a look to express complex emotions.

“Consumption is a trap, never ending. The Holy Blood Island understands this best.”

Holy Blood Island is the only empty island where there is a “pet” industry.

These pets are biological beasts prepared by ampoule biomedicine, and they are all furry. Not only are they extremely cute, well-behaved, and able to take care of themselves, they even have intelligence above the infant level, and they can talk and call their masters by their names.

It is of course very expensive…

And the most critical design is that users can “extend” these pets. Because they are biological beasts, their lifespan belongs to the design lifespan in a sense, which is much shorter than the theoretical lifespan. Therefore, when pets are sick or old, employees who are close enough to them will spend a lot of money to treat pets and keep them alive. Even for those employees who live alone, they don’t have the pressure of children, partners, and parents, and there will always be other places where they can be short of money.

If the status of Yongquan Island is the highest~www.mtlnovel.com~, then the status of Holy Blood Island is the lowest. Not only is it the lowest sense of existence, but it is also always ridiculed by other sky islands at the level of public opinion.

Even the employees of Holy Blood Island, if they can go to other sky islands to work, will never stay on this island—the attitude of the “headquarters” of other sky islands to their “branches” is completely different.

Even the relief society on Holy Blood Island looked down on these company employees who kept selling their lives for meaningless things. Even the monkey-faced eagle looked down on them, so much so that he never entered the Holy Blood Island.

Everyone thinks they’ve been tricked by an “oh mouse, are you blind”. But only Russell knows that this is unsolvable—people who have not experienced it cannot understand the pain. In a sense, this is an emotional kidnapping.

The Holy Blood Island cunningly avoided the grip of the dragon, and slaughtered its employees with consumerism openly and aboveboard. Nobody thinks there’s anything wrong with it, people on other sky islands don’t even think it’s the company’s fault

, they even think that the ampoule biomedicine is so gentle. All problems come from greedy, stupid, self-deprecating, muddle-headed employees.

Russell vaguely had an idea.

Compared with the tangible but intangible monkey-faced eagle that will be dealt with soon by them… perhaps the intangible and intangible thinking of the Holy Blood Island will be a more powerful enemy of the Help Society. In a sense, they may be the followers of “Dream”.

—Tomorrow, at the same time that Russell and Delphinium got engaged on Sogo Island.

Russell, who had been prepared for a long time, would release the news that he and the delphinium had died on Happy Island.

That will be a good opportunity to fish out these “invisible enemies”.
