Overturned Tower - Vol 2.4 Chapter 1

The latest website: Happy Island, Tianen District.

1203, Friday, June 2nd.

In the UI in the upper right corner of the field of vision, it is indicated that the current time has reached ten thirty in the evening.

The young girl, wearing a white knitted top and black hot pants, checked her makeup in front of the floor mirror for the last time in the backstage preparation room of Tianen TV Station. Because she arrived quite late, basically as soon as she sat down, three makeup artists surrounded her, working on her simultaneously like a doctor who was saving a patient.

Her long black hair, which went directly to shampoo commercials without special effects, has become a little withered and rough. Despite her vibrant and athleisure-inspired outfits, she doesn’t look in good spirits. It looks like a withered flower, and the black fox ears on the head droop together, giving people a very wronged feeling.

Ms. Dai Lan felt unprecedented uneasiness and anxiety—even before her debut, when she was filming a singer talent show and waiting for the audience to vote, she was not as anxious as she is now.

It has been more than a month since Mr. Qunqing disappeared.

Not to mention that Happy Island has become a mess on the Internet, and even the inner circle of the Fuji Society has become crazy.

At present, the most mainstream theory is that the existence of the Fuji Society has shaken the supreme power of the Seven Giants.

Even if 70% of Fujishe’s shares belong to the Big Seven, and 10% of the shares belong to the Cyber ​​Church, but the 10% shares each held by Ultramarine and Little Liuli are enough to make the Big Seven feel murderous. After all, this is an act of putting one’s own existence on the same level as the head office…

That’s all when the Fuji Society was not well-known. But now, the Fuji Society has become a force that cannot be ignored on the seven empty islands. Through the reputation of the two founders and the rules they formulated, people of different industries, different classes, and different spiritual relatives are connected together. Now just on the island of happiness, the number of members of the relief society has exceeded the total population. 7%.

You know, the number of direct employees of Tianen Group is less than one-tenth of this number.

This has completely become a force to be reckoned with, and it is even expanding—according to expert analysis, I am afraid that within five years, the Relief Society will be able to approach the frightening figure of 15%. This means that one out of every seven people is a member of the Relief Society. Almost every family has at least one Relief Society member.

From another perspective, the Fuji Society can already be regarded as “another cyber church”.

Not even 15 percent of the people who are religious add up to be on the island of happiness. Judging from the data obtained by Dailan, it is probably less than 5%. The number of relief societies alone has already surpassed.

The Religion of the New Age—so some call the Help Society.

No matter how the Cyber ​​Church declares their ultimate goal of “cyber ascension”, the church’s organizational structure is somewhat outdated. In this era, whether it is old-age care or orphans, or even education and social welfare, they are no longer indispensable. It’s just that they are still clinging to these “traditions of the old age” and trying to hold this power in their hands.

The Relief Society is perfectly capable of replacing them.

“Mutual help under supervision” and the establishment of a platform to sell “humanity” are the core of Fujishe. Everyone is different in what they can do and who they come in contact with. What is difficult for one person may be easy for another. A resource that is extremely scarce for one person is of no use to another. value. And everyone only needs to do some very simple things for themselves, and they can accumulate a favor so that others can help themselves through this platform…

—From a certain point of view, this is to issue a brand-new “reputation currency” that has more purchasing power than local “credit points” through labor entrustment. It’s just that the issuer is not the local head office, but a non-governmental organization that exists on all empty islands.

The most mainstream argument on the Internet is that this behavior itself has completely angered the head office.

So from a certain day, Qunqing and Xiao Liuli disappeared at the same time—they had been killed by the company. they all happen

Fortunately, they are not married and have no descendants, which means that the shares they hold after they die will be taken back by the local head office, Tianen Group.

This means that the Tianen Group will hold 30% of the shares and become the actual largest leader of the Fuji Society… and other sky islands will definitely not allow this. After all, the operation mode of the Fuji Society has also spread to them.

Save “gratitude” by helping other people solve their troubles as much as possible, and solve their own troubles now or in the future-this is not only the poor and the corrupt. Those company directors, rich people, “heroes” and even elves may join them.

Yes, elves—

According to the feedback from the inner circle of the Fuji Society, after learning of the existence of the Fuji Society, the elves with a long lifespan are generally very interested in this kind of “credit loan” organization. The existence of the Fuji Society was quickly brought to the elf circle… and since the middle of last month, a large wave of elves began to pour into the Fuji Society. And the things they can do and the troubles they can solve are undoubtedly the most.

This means that some “difficult tasks” accumulated in the relief society are also easily solved by the elves. They acquired a large number of “favors” almost immediately… In a sense, this can also be understood as a kind of expendable power.

From a certain point of view, the Helping Society can even be said to be an organization tailored for elves. Because of its existence, the elves’ extraordinary talents and long lifespan can be directly realized and stored into the future.

As we all know, “labor” itself has value differences. What each person can do is completely different, and knowledge is highly differentiated, and talents are different. Therefore, human beings need to rely on “mutual help” to complete work together. But under the old currency model, the profits that could be made in the business and financial fields were simply too great.

The existence of the Fuji Society is tantamount to the elimination of “trade”. Because the “favor” accumulated by each person cannot be traded in principle-this means that people cannot accumulate “favor currency” by means other than “helping others”, and the ability to help others is not available from a macro perspective. Call it “talent”.

Whether it is to solve the problem by himself or through contacts and resources, as long as the problem can be solved, it is one of his abilities. Therefore, the Aid Society actually sells “manpower” to reward “talent” and “hard work”. The more things each person can do, the more unique they are, and the more things they do, the more “credibility currency” they can get in the Aid Society system. And through “trading”—that is, posting tasks on the Fujishe’s platform, you can realize this currency and immediately seek the help you need most at the moment.

It will not cause archbishops, angels, company directors, and elves to lose their wealth and status, it will only weed out some lucky ones who don’t deserve their virtues—or pure upstarts. Therefore, the Aid Society will not be resisted and rejected by the “uppers” who have great power in this era, which is why it has spread rapidly like a virus.

It is also supported by no-owners, capitalist mercenaries, young people and students, the unemployed, those with talents but without resources, those with resources but without talents, community opinion leaders, those with power, the top rich, and top intellectuals However, under such circumstances, supporting Fujishe has become a kind of political correctness—as we all know, the only people who cannot benefit under the rules of Fujisha are those who are hated and unworthy of virtue.

So who is opposing the Fuji Society, does it mean that he has a guilty conscience?

That way, their own investors and backers risk questioning their competence.

In this case, even if they are against the Fuji Society in their hearts, they must support the Fuji Society loudly.

but not long

Just last month, someone became aware of a loophole in the Society’s rules. Although in principle, the “reputation points” within the relief society cannot be traded. But what if “asking other people in the relief society to help you” itself constitutes a “task”?

Someone is always short of money. In other words, most people are forever short of money. As long as the price is high enough, someone will definitely transfer this “reputation point”.

The trading method is also very simple. Those who have points can post a tricky and troublesome task, and then the “point buyer” will take it over. Then the initiator directly confirms that the task has been completed, and in this way transfers their favor points.

It’s like RMT in MMORPG.

It’s just that what you buy in this way is not a virtual “game currency”,

It is “Fujisha points” that are also of great value in real life.

At first, people didn’t think there was a problem here—someone just happens to be short of a moment or two, and it’s very difficult and impersonal to get someone else’s work done first. With this kind of trading channel, you will no longer be stuck with one or two points… With a little extra money, you can complete your mission.

At that time, there were actually not many opponents, and the opposing opinions were drowned out almost instantly. Because at the very beginning, the prices offered by those who bought points were really high—even a small incident that an ordinary civilian can easily solve, the “one point of reputation” obtained can be exchanged for a full five hundred and five Ten credits.

You know, in places like the Special Operations Department, where psykers work hard, the basic monthly salary is only 55,000.

A graduate student who graduated from an ordinary university earns about 12,000 to 15,000 a month; a top social animal who graduated from Sogo University and Tianen University with a master’s degree can earn almost 25,000 three years after graduation.

And if they fail to go to college—this kind of people account for about 75%, their average income will drop sharply to more than 4,000 after working for five years.

This means that as long as people without academic qualifications work hard, they can earn more than 600 yuan a day; and if they have connections or talents, their income will increase further. For most people, this is completely irresistible.

Those who initiated the proposal were undoubtedly those who had the most money; those who supported them were those who had the least money. Then it’s completely unstoppable.

On the contrary, some people in the middle are aware of the problem—their jobs in Happy Island are all scholars, writers, and media people who are in high-end positions in their industries, plus some senior mercenaries and entrepreneurs of small companies. But they are no longer able to stop all of this, no matter in terms of numbers, status or right to speak.

Ultramarine and Godfather started to disappear around that time. The specific date is May 11th.

At the beginning, people still worry that if they buy so many points, will the points depreciate? After all, when they have enough points, they can easily buy the labor they need through the internal channels of the Aid Society.

However, those who bought the points did not immediately reduce the purchase price of the points—instead, it was raised to a currency ratio of 1:630 after half a month. Many people simply gave up their original jobs because of this and started to do tasks full-time. Their income skyrocketed because of this… This also made some people who didn’t intend to join the relief society join the relief society because they were jealous of the income.

And with the influx of these “point mercenaries”, it quickly led to the problem that there were no tasks to accept.

After all, the “generation” of these points is not mining, they can be produced by themselves, but when they help other people in the relief society, according to the specific situation—that is, by harvesting “gratitude” and “good reviews” from others, they can be obtained Some extra points.

From this point of view, the main output method of the Fuji Society’s points is actually equivalent to the Fuji Society giving them a “negative tax rate”-the more transactions, the more points there will be on the market. This is also encouraging people to post tasks and seek help from others. After all, it is also expanding the influence of the Aid Society.

Normally, these credits are used up quickly. It’s a new currency after all… people definitely want to be able to cash out as quickly as possible. And everyone will always encounter more or less troubles, and as they solve these troubles through the relief society, they will gradually develop the habit of issuing tasks.

But as a large number of points were collected, fewer people posted tasks on the market. A large number of people quit their jobs and couldn’t get the job-so they started to pick up a job.

Some tasks that are obviously given less points than normal, and because the purchase price of points is also increasing at the same time, people have not noticed any major problems.

But then, people suddenly realized something.

The value of points has become so expensive that using these points to let people complete small things that are only a little troublesome for themselves, will it become a bit wasteful?

For example, when people were busy working overtime at the beginning, they would ask someone to pick up their children, and what they paid was “a little point”. This point may be obtained when their new neighbor moved and asked him to come over to help move the furniture; it may also be obtained after seeing a lost old man with dementia, finding such a task in the platform, and then contacting the family members of the old man. .

This is a kind of extremely warm “help between people”.

However, after the value of the points has been raised for no reason… People are reluctant to entrust these points to others to do some small things within their capabilities. For example, helping to transport furniture – if the “favor credit” spent is exchanged for credit points, it is enough to hire professional workers who wear exoskeletons and undergo high-strength prosthetic transformation; Picking up the child, but the price of “favor” is spent, but

It was already several times higher than the overtime pay…Even if he asked for leave today, the lost income would not be worth the reputation of the Fuji Society.

So people finally realized the problem.

Through the high purchase of points, people quantify the value of “humanity” in their hearts. Every behavior that is originally full of human warmth has to start to calculate the benefits and costs-and this is undoubtedly contrary to the original goal of the Aid Society.

At this time, the people who had fallen into the frenzy before suddenly woke up and realized that their two leaders had been missing for a month.

Some people inquired about the information and learned that “Qunqing” and “Barber” were sent to Chongguang Island and Yongquan Island for business trips respectively; so some people simply went to the local area by airboat to check for information, but they couldn’t find it either. to their people.

These two people seemed to disappear out of thin air—and the time of disappearance was very coincidental, both on May 9th. Basically, after disembarking from the empty boat, the people were gone the next day.

So a voice began to appear in the Happy Island… That is, they were betrayed by the Tianen Group, and after they landed, they were assassinated by other sky island giants. As the birthplace of the Fuji Society, Happy Island has undergone such drastic changes, and the fact that they did not show up at all is proof.

With further investigation, people also discovered the more shocking truth.

Qunqing’s officially announced fiancée “Delphinium” also disappeared at the same time, and “Strangle” and “Silence” who were senior members of the Fuji Society also disappeared on the same day.

“Ale,” one of the last two executives, began to appear on camera several times, keeping people calm and explaining that Ultramarine and Delphinium had gone to their hometown to get married; Izumishima has some personal affairs of his own. Later, the trouble became more and more serious, and Delphinium’s parents had to appear and confirm the matter.

And yet people are still skeptical — and more skeptical.

Finally, just last week…

The ale that appeared in front of the camera every day to comfort people suddenly disappeared completely and disappeared from the world.

In addition, the reports that were mentioned every day in Tianen Daily also disappeared simultaneously, and the news about “Fujishe” on the Internet began to be blocked. It was reported that Malt Wine was suspected of being assassinated and sent to the hospital… But when the reporter went to the hospital to investigate, he found that there was no one in the ward where Malt Wine was registered. It was transferred the next day. Nor do they know where the ale is now.

So, just yesterday—

June 1st, Thursday.

“Bingshui”, who held an important position in the Fuji Society and was the chief reporter of the former Tianen Daily, announced the start of an investigation into the disappearance of malt wine. As the chief reporter, Dai Lan was pushed out by Tianen Daily—the company asked her to participate in the emperor’s talk show tonight, and to resolve the current situation on Happy Island that is getting worse and worse.

A tense crisis of public opinion ~www.mtlnovel.com~ provides a reasonable explanation for the disappearance of Ultramarine, the barber, malt wine, ice water and others.

…But, but how can I resolve it?

How should I explain it?

You didn’t even tell me anything, I don’t have any information and intelligence at hand—and is Senior Bingshui directly classified as “missing” like this? It’s only been one day since she spoke to investigate!

Dai Lan felt great pressure.

It was so stressful that she even started having stomach pains.

If she could, she really wanted to resign right now and leave everything alone—

But Dailan’s intuition and experience told her that if she resigns at this time…

Perhaps what she ushered in was the “resignation” of life.
