The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

Chapter 770

Rachel Nakamura wakes up from her free quarters.

She had been thinking about where the enemy was yesterday until she fell asleep, and now she barely returned to normal. She doesn't even know the ultimate mystery of the universe, so how can she know where the enemy is?

Where is the enemy?

The simple five words are actually complex philosophical propositions.

We were born penniless, with no natural allies, but natural enemies. It's just that we have never found out where the enemies are, so we are confused.

Go and find your enemy. Rachel Nakamura meditated.

That robot taught itself a lesson. Rachel Nakamura sighed. I really didn't expect that I didn't know the answer to this important question for so many years.

It seems to be trying to find out where the enemy is.

If it hadn't been for it to ask, I'm afraid I wouldn't reflect on where the enemy is.

Turning on the recording function of her eyes, Rachel Nakamura looked at the room she was in and made a corresponding report.

"This is a standard single-person apartment with 20 square meters." She got up and walked in the room and observed, "There is a plastic express cabinet at the main entrance, which can hold up to 1 cubic meter of items, and larger items will be delivered in the building. Get it from the courier station at the bottom."

"There are three alarm devices, all of which are within easy reach. The circuit is intact and of high quality, and it is almost impossible to damage it. The retina-verified alloy door lock greatly improves safety. Fortunately, I still retain the retina of one eye." Rachel Nakamura checks the various alarm panels.

As long as you wave it, there will be a response from security personnel, and firefighters and property damage will also seek help through this panel to ensure the health and safety of residents.

"The room provides a large shoe cabinet, wall cabinet and ceiling cabinet. The volume is quite considerable and the quality is also good. On the west coast, I have a 65 square meter apartment. Even if I bring all the supplies there, this place can Take it all in." Nakamura Rachel looked around.

"It seems to be part of the local custom. Even the narrow bathroom will provide a two-in-one shower bathtub. There are ventilation fans and light-transmitting windows at the height, which is very safe." She entered the bathroom again.

On one side of the corridor is a small kitchen, which provides free induction cooker, chopping board, vegetable sink and freezer.

Rachel Nakamura checked the long living room again.

"The relatively 'huge' long tatami-style living room allows guests to be entertained, and blankets can be placed on one side. In order to avoid heat loss, the apartment is uniformly heated, and the temperature cannot be adjusted by itself. The room temperature is 22°C, and the treatment is quite good." Rachel Nakamura Rolled up her quilt and carried it into the closet. This was the first time she slept on the floor, and she felt okay.

Rachel Nakamura went to the balcony to observe the scenery outside.

This is the well-known 24th District of Shangjing. It was originally a large pit destroyed by supernatural magic, but now it has become a model project of surface restoration and urban transformation.

Including her own free apartment, most of the buildings are produced in modules, and the rooms are designed according to standard sizes, so they can be expanded like building blocks, and the cost is also cheap.

Rachel Nakamura can easily tell which parts of an apartment are manufactured first and which parts are manufactured later.

"This is very interesting. I thought Nisto would provide a series of honeycomb-like houses, allowing people to live in small compartments of 6 to 10 square meters to maximize land use efficiency. This is also rendered by many media, claiming that Nisto The free housing provided by the trust company is a modern prison. In fact, it is not the case, what they provide is a decent residence with an area of ​​20 to 100 square meters, and the exterior walls are painted with unnecessary colorful colors, which seems to improve the mood. Personal evaluation: it has a certain effect.” Rachel Nakamura looks out over the rows of brand new modular mega-housing.

They're as pretty as pastel crayons and arranged in geometric shapes.

She looked around and realized that she really only needed such a big place to live.

20 square meters is enough. Rachel Nakamura tried to roll a few times in the living room, and then jumped on the spot, making sure that there was enough space for her to exercise.

Since Nisto Company provides work equipment, she only needs to place a lightweight office area in her residence and eliminate the tables and chairs originally prepared for guests. She would not entertain guests at home.

Then, I should give up the apartment I bought with a loan of 500,000 Thai dollars, move to Shangjing, and live in such a decent free small room. Rachel Nakamura came to a conclusion.

In such a comfortable place, I can calm down and think about more things.

No wonder people in this place speak slowly, without rushing at all.

It turned out that they lived in such a comfortable and leisurely place and did not feel rushed.

Very... leisurely.

It turns out that there is still such a place in the world, Nisto Company... very strange, very remarkable. Rachel Nakamura had to admit it.

It sounds unbelievable to build such a good house for free and give it to the homeless for free, but it is normal when you think of Nisto Company.

She went downstairs and saw A40 sitting on the side of the snow-covered road, with snowflakes on his helmet.

It is now wearing a light armor, the armor covering its chest like fish scales, and the red helmet with two long feathers. It looks like a medieval warrior, except for a flag on the back to identify friend and foe.

"So, you know the enemy..." A40 pressed Rachel Nakamura.

"I will spend my whole life looking for the answer." Rachel Nakamura said.

"Er—not—"

"Take me around the city." Rachel Nakamura interrupted A40, "Please."

When she was a child, she had seen how her mother did it, so she folded her hands, leaned forward, and bowed deeply.

"Wow, there's no other way, let's take you around the 24th district." A40 took Rachel Nakamura for a walk in the city.

She found that everything was clean and tidy. As a newly renovated area, District 24 was completely built with the theme of "facing the future".

Rachel Nakamura easily captured a large number of interconnected channels, and each building was connected with a high-speed network, reporting its own waste, logistics, and commodity transaction records.

Most of the streets are in this seamless information interaction, which makes the urban area itself like an intelligent system, and the situation of each unit is clear, and it is easy to manage and count.

Just like a chessboard, Rachel Nakamura constructed relevant models in her digital mind, and found that Nisto Company maximized the efficiency of city management.

She came back to her senses and saw many people wearing uniforms of different associations, looking around, walking up and down the street, seemingly having nothing to do, but occasionally striding across the street to pick up trash or take care of the elderly. . There are also group jobs such as snow removal, street equipment inspections, security patrols and the like.

"What are those people? Tramps? Trying to attack lonely people and steal from machinery and equipment?" Rachel Nakamura raised her finger.

"It's a social volunteer." A40 looked over.

"Volunteer?" Rachel Nakamura felt that she had heard a concept that only existed in big dictionaries.

"Wow, because food and accommodation are free now, more people volunteer and do volunteer work. Similar organizations have registered one after another, calling on people to help the poor, serve the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and even go to the hospital. And those who go to remote villages, Nisto company is also advocating. If you did this before, you would starve to death or be looked down upon, but now you are a hardworking guy who does good deeds and is respected." A40 tries to describe what it knows .

"On the west coast, if someone wants to do 'social service' or 'volunteer work', he will be caught quickly and become a victim, reduced to biochemical transformation materials and mechanized toys. Or stolen and chopped up Limbed, gutted and tossed in the trash. I've seen so many irrational men and women, trying to work selflessly, going into dangerous areas to try to make improvements and fixes, free clinics, or helping the poor, all die disgustingly." Rachel Nakamura observes the men.

Voluntary service without expecting anything in return.

These people are obviously a very small minority in society, and they have a "natural altruistic" disposition. Rachel Nakamura makes a judgment call.

When they see others hurt, they want to help immediately, when they see others suffer, they want to donate a little money, they feel happy when others are happy, and sad when others are sad. Rachel Nakamura observes.

Due to the formation of society, such people would have been extinct.

And in this wonderful "zero-pressure society" environment, has this natural altruistic behavior been revived?

This is also a necessity. Rachel Nakamura suddenly realized.

Because this society no longer punishes and insults those good people.

Rachel Nakamura came to a park for a walk, and the environment here made her slow down for the first time in her life.

Everything is in good order, there are not many pedestrians around, most of them go out to walk their dogs or play with their children.

"This is different from the propaganda. The Internet media on the west coast say that Nisto Company is going to go bankrupt. The society is panicked, internally divided, and conflicts are deep." Nakamura Rachel observes the surrounding situation.

It was unbelievably quiet, only the sound of the engines of some shuttles passing through the sky, very peaceful, not like the West Coast where violence can happen at any time.

"It's not because there are brave fighters like me protecting this place, and there are many hardworking men and women supporting the company's operations. It's nothing difficult to understand." A40 disagrees.

Quiet, peaceful, each live their own lives.

Rachel Nakamura saw a lot of people going out with their synthetic companions. It is very suitable to be a couple with a synthetic person. They do not have any unpleasant functions, and they will not make various unreasonable demands. They will only accompany them silently, complete the user's instructions, and use themselves to warm the user's every lonely night.

This is... a plain, very suitable place to live.

There is also an area like a normal company city here, and financial activities are still very prosperous.

She crossed a bridge to leave District 24 and came to a place full of commercial buildings.

Rachel Nakamura saw those familiar names, including Kyoto Unlimited, Enomoto Bank, Jinyang Insurance Company, Carlosy Media Group, and Shuguang Investment Company. Their businesses in Shanghai are still prosperous, and some real estate companies are still alive, and they are now operating luxury houses. The improved residence has expanded the scale of overseas real estate intermediary work and met people's endless material needs.

It was lunch time, and tens of thousands of company employees in black uniforms left the workplace in a hurry and went to the restaurant downstairs to find food. For them, it was a routine between two points and one line. More people did not show up, and quickly got it done with nutrient cream.

This is also Rachel Nakamura's habit. She has set a fixed schedule for eating and self-cleaning.

Now her body has started to send corresponding physiological signals according to the daily regulations, reminding her to replenish energy and prepare for the busy afternoon.

The company people with expressionless faces passed by her one after another. They chase the direction of funds and changes in the stock market. A seemingly ordinary middle-aged man is likely to hold shares worth billions.

Shangjing is still the largest financial center in the northern archipelago, and this will never change.

This is my own... the same kind! Rachel Nakamura stared at the company folks.

Wild dogs and wolves of the financial industry!

She is all too familiar.

Her current job is a senior sales manager for an insurance company, starting as an entry-level sales representative and growing up to manage her own team. In addition to the help provided by her hacking skills, she also drained herself.

From health, self-esteem to conscience, the company will give it whatever it wants.

Empowerment, layering, track, cycle, resources, traffic, feedback, channels, layout, subdivisions... Looking at the people coming and going from the company in Beijing, Rachel Nakamura felt that her previous working life had come back. Those reports, meetings, lies and deceptions...

She is so used to it.

She should have joined the ranks of these beasts, foraging for food and filling their stomachs, and then entered a new round of fighting, risking her life for money.

But Nakamura Rachel felt relaxed, extremely relaxed. Unprecedented laziness prevailed.

Rachel Nakamura stood on the street.

Then she backed away.

"Why are you walking backwards! I will blame you if you fall!" A40 held the knife and stared at Rachel Nakamura.

"Try something new." She closed her eyes, stepped back, and returned from the bridge.

People, love yourself!

Rachel Nakamura revises her schedule and takes a long vacation for herself.
