Overturned Tower

Chapter 581 Miss Dailan Wants to Resign

Happy Island, Tianen District.

1203, June 2nd, Friday.

The UI in the upper right corner of the field of view indicates that the current time has reached 10:30 pm.

The young girl wearing a white knitted top and black hot pants checked her makeup in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the backstage preparation room of Tianen TV for the last time. Because she arrived a little late, as soon as she sat down, three makeup artists surrounded her, working on her simultaneously like doctors rescuing patients.

Her long, refreshing black hair, which she used to shoot in shampoo commercials without any special effects, has now become a bit withered and rough. Although she was wearing energetic and athleisure-style clothing, she didn't seem to be in the best of spirits. Like withered flowers, the black fox ears on the head also drooped down, giving people a very wronged feeling.

Miss Dailan felt uneasy and anxious like never before - even before her debut, when she was filming a singer talent show and waiting for the audience to vote, she didn't feel as uneasy as she did now.

More than a month has passed since Mr. Ultramarine went missing.

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

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

Even if 70% of Fuji Society's shares belong to the Seven Giants and 10% of the shares belong to the Cyber ​​Church... the 10% shares held by Ultramarine and Xiao Liuli each are enough to make the Seven Giants have murderous intentions. After all, this is an act of putting one's own existence on the same level as the head office...

That was all when Fuji Society was not yet famous. But now, Fuji Society has become a force that cannot be ignored on the seven empty islands. Through the credibility of the two founders and the rules they established, people from different industries, different classes, and different spiritual relatives are connected together... And now on Happy Island alone, the number of members of the Fuji Society has exceeded the total number. 7% of the population.

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

This has completely become a force that cannot be ignored, and it is even continuing to expand - according to expert analysis, I am afraid that Fuji Society will approach the terrifying figure of 15% within five years. This means that one in every seven people is a member of the Fuji Society. Almost every family has at least one member of the Fuji Society.

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

On Happy Island, even the total number of religious people is far less than 15%. Judging from the data obtained by Dailan, it is probably less than 5%. The number of Fuji Clubs alone today has surpassed that level.

The religion of the new generation—some people call it Fuji Society.

No matter how much the Cyber ​​Church promotes their ultimate goal of "cyber ascension," the church's organizational structure is already somewhat outdated. In this era, whether it is caring for the elderly or orphans, or even education and social welfare, they are no longer in charge. It's just that they still hold on to these "traditions of the old times" and try to hold this power in their hands.

Fuji Society can completely replace them.

"Mutual help under supervision" and selling "favors" through the establishment of a platform are the core of Fuji Society. What everyone can do and the people they come into contact with are different. What is difficult for one person may be easy for others. The resources that are extremely scarce for one person may not be available to another. value. And everyone only needs to do something very simple for themselves to accumulate a favor and let others help them through this platform...

——From a certain perspective, this is to issue a new “credibility currency” with more purchasing power than local “credit points” through labor commission. It's just that the issuer is not a local head office, but a private organization that exists on all islands.

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

So starting from a certain day, Ultramarine and Xiao Liuli disappeared at the same time - they had been killed by the company. They all happen to be unmarried and have no offspring, which means that after their death, the shares held by them will be taken back by the local head office...that is, Tianen Group.

This means that Tianen Group will hold 30% of the shares and become the de facto largest leader of Fuji Society... and other islands will definitely not allow this. After all, Fuji Society's operating model has also spread to them.

By helping other people solve their problems as much as possible, you can accumulate "favor" to solve problems for yourself now or in the future - this is not just the poor and uncoded people who will join this. Corporate directors, wealthy people, "heroes" and even elves may all join them.

Yes, elf-

According to feedback from the inner circle of Fuji Society, after learning about the existence of Fuji Society, elves with long lifespans are generally very interested in this "reputable lending" organization. The existence of Fuji Society was quickly brought to the elf circle...and starting in the middle of last month, a large wave of elves began to flow into Fuji Society. And the things they can do and the troubles they solve are undoubtedly the most.

This means that some of the "difficult tasks" backlogged in the Fuji Society have also been easily solved by the elves. They obtained a large number of "favors" almost immediately... In a sense, this can also be understood as a kind of expendable power.

From a certain perspective, Fuji Society can even be said to be an organization tailor-made for elves. Because of its existence, the talents and long lifespan of elves that are beyond mortals can be directly realized and stored into the future.

As we all know, "labor" itself is valuable. What everyone can do is completely different, knowledge is highly differentiated, and talents are different. Therefore, humans need to rely on "mutual help" to complete work collaboratively. But under the old monetary model, the profits that could be made in the business and financial fields were simply too great.

The existence of Fuji Society is equivalent to the elimination of "commerce". 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 from a macro perspective. It can also be called "talent".

Whether he solves the problem himself, or solves the problem through connections and resources... as long as the problem can be solved, it is his ability.

Therefore, Fuji Society actually sells "manpower" to reward "talent" and "hard work". The more and more unique things each person can do, and the more things they do, the more "credibility currency" they can obtain within the Fuji Society system. And through "transaction" - that is, posting tasks within the Fuji Society platform, you can cash out 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 eliminate some lucky people who are not worthy of their virtues-or, in other words, pure upstarts. Therefore, the Fuji Society will not be resisted or excluded by these "upper class people" who have great power in this era. This is why it has spread as rapidly as a virus.

It is simultaneously supported by the have-nots, mercenaries of the uncoded, young people and students, the unemployed, those with talent but no resources, those with resources but no talent, community opinion leaders, the powerful, the top rich, and top intellectuals. In this case, supporting the Fuji Society has become a kind of political correctness - as we all know, the only people who cannot benefit under the rules of the Fuji Society are those who are hated and whose moral integrity is not worthy of their responsibilities.

So whoever opposes Fuji Society, does that mean he has a guilty conscience?

In that case, their own investors and backers may question their abilities.

Under such circumstances, even if they are opposed to Fuji Society in their hearts, they must loudly support Fuji Society.

But not long after...

Just last month, someone began to realize a loophole in Fuji Society's rules.

Although in principle, the "reputation points" within the Fuji Society cannot be traded... but what if "asking other people from the Fuji Society to help me" constitutes a "task" in itself?

There are always people who are short of money. In other words, most people are always short of money.

As long as the price offered is high enough, someone will definitely give up this "credit point".

The trading method is also very simple. People with points can post a tricky and very troublesome task, and then the "point purchaser" will take it over. The initiator then directly confirms that the task has been completed and transfers their favor points in this way.

It's like RMT in MMORPG.

It's just that what you buy through this method is not virtual "game currency", but "Fuji Club Points" that are also of great value in real life.

At first, people didn't think there was anything wrong here - there was always someone who just needed that one or two minutes, and it was very difficult and inhumane to complete other people's tasks first at this time. With this kind of transaction channel, you will no longer be stuck for one or two points... With a little extra money, you can complete your task.

There were actually not many opponents at that time, and the objections were drowned out almost instantly. Because at the beginning, the prices offered by those who offered to buy points were really very high - even a small incident that an ordinary civilian could easily solve, the "little credit points" obtained could be exchanged for a full five hundred Fifty credits.

You know, in a place like the Special Enforcement Department, where psychics work hard, the basic salary is only fifty-five thousand a month.

Graduate students who graduated from ordinary universities can earn about 12,000 to 15,000 yuan a month; top social workers who graduated from Sogo University and Cheonen University with a master's degree can earn almost 25,000 yuan three years after graduation.

And if they fail to go to college, which is about 75% of people, their average income will drop sharply to more than 4,000 after five years of work.

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 further increase sharply. For most people, this is completely irresistible.

Those who initiated this proposal were undoubtedly those with the most money; those who supported these proposals were those with the least money. Then it is completely unstoppable.

On the contrary, it was some people in the middle who realized the problem - those who work on Happy Island are scholars, writers, and media people who are in high-end positions in their own industries, plus some senior mercenaries and entrepreneurs of small companies. .

But no matter in terms of numbers, status or voice, they can no longer stop this.

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

At first, people were still worried that if they bought so many points, would their value depreciate? After all, when they have enough points, they can easily buy the labor they need through Fuji Society's internal channels...

However, those who purchased the points did not immediately lower the purchase price of the points - instead, they raised it to a currency ratio of 1:630 half a month later. As a result, many people simply gave up their original jobs and started doing tasks full-time. Their income has skyrocketed as a result... This has also led some people who did not originally intend to join the Fuji Society to join the Fuji Society because they were jealous of the income.

And with the large influx of these "point-earning mercenaries", it soon led to the problem of no tasks to accept.

After all, the "generation" of these points is not mining and can be produced on their own... but when helping other people within the Fuji Society, according to the specific situation - that is, by harvesting the "gratitude" and "praise" of others , to get some extra points.

From this perspective, Fuji Society's main way of generating points is actually equivalent to Fuji Society giving them a "negative tax rate" - the more transactions, the more points there are on the market. This also encourages people to post tasks and seek help from others... After all, this is also increasing the influence of Fuji Society.

Under normal circumstances, these points are used up quickly. After all, this is a new currency... people will certainly want to be able to cash out as quickly as possible. And everyone will always encounter troubles more or less. As they solve these troubles through Fuji 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 were unable to receive tasks after resigning - so they began to take tasks that obviously gave less points than normal, and because the purchase price of points also increased simultaneously, people did not realize that anything was too big. The problem.

But then, people suddenly realized something.

The value of points has become so expensive... So wouldn't it be a waste to use these points to let people complete small things that are just a little troublesome for them?

For example, when people were busy working overtime at first, they would ask someone to pick up their children, and what they paid was "a few points." These points may have been obtained when their new neighbor was moving and asked him to come over to help move the furniture; it may also be obtained after seeing a lost old man with Alzheimer's disease, discovering that there is such a task in the platform, and then contacting the family of the old man. .

This is a kind of extremely warm "help between people".

However, after the value of points was increased for no reason... people began to be reluctant to entrust this kind of points to others to do some small things within their ability. For example, if you help transport furniture - if the "favor reputation" spent is converted into credits, it is enough to hire professional workers who wear exoskeletons and have undergone high-strength prosthetic modifications; another example is asking someone to help when working overtime. He went to pick up the children, but the price of the "favor" was already several times higher than the overtime pay... Even if he took leave for the day, the lost income would not be worth the value of Fuji Society's reputation.

So, people finally realized the problem.

By purchasing points at high amounts, people have quantified the value of "favor" in their hearts. Every action that was originally full of human kindness had to start calculating the benefits and costs - and this was undoubtedly contrary to the original goal of Fuji Society.

At this time, the people who had been immersed in the frenzy suddenly woke up... and later discovered that their two leaders had been missing for a month.

Some people inquired about the information and learned that "Ultramar" and "Barber" were sent to Sogo Island and Yongquan Island on business trips respectively; so some people simply took an airship to the local area to check for information, but they could not find them either. to their people.

These two people seemed to disappear out of thin air - and the time of their disappearance was very coincidental, both on May 9th. Basically, after getting off the airship, there were no more people the next day.

So a voice began to appear in Happy Island... that was that they were betrayed by Tianen Group, and were assassinated by other sky island giants after landing. Happy Island, the birthplace of the Fuji Society, has undergone such drastic changes, as evidenced by their complete absence.

With further investigation, people discovered more and more shocking truths.

Ultramarine's officially announced fiancée "Delphite" also disappeared at the same time, and "Strangler" and "Silent Voice", both of whom were senior members of the Fuji Society, also disappeared on the same day.

"Maltwine", one of the last two executives, began to appear in front of the camera many times to keep people calm and explain that Ultramarine and Delphinium were getting married in their hometown; while Barber, Strangler, and Silence also emerged. Quan Dao has some personal matters of his own. Later, the commotion got bigger and bigger, and Delphinium's parents had to appear and confirm the incident.

But people still began to doubt—and became increasingly doubtful.

Finally, just last week…

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

In addition, reports mentioned every day in Tian'en Daily also disappeared simultaneously, and news about "Fuji Society" on the Internet began to be blocked. There is news that Malt Liquor 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 Liquor was registered. The hospital confirmed that Malt Liquor was indeed admitted to the hospital that day and was admitted to the hospital. It was transferred the next day. Nor do they know where the malt liquor is today.

So, just yesterday——

Thursday, June 1st.

"Bing Shui", who holds an important position within the Fuji Society and was the former chief reporter of Tian'en Daily, announced the start of an investigation into the intelligence about the disappearance of Malt Liquor.

As the chief reporter, Dai Lan was pushed out by Tian'en Daily - the company asked her to participate in tonight's emperor's talk show and resolve the increasingly tense public opinion crisis on Happy Island. Provide a reasonable explanation for the disappearance of Ultramarine, Barber, Ale, Ice Water and others.

...But, how can I resolve it?

How should I explain it?

You didn't even tell me anything. I don't have any data or intelligence at hand - and was Senior Bing Shui directly classified as "missing" like this? It’s only been one day since she made the statement to investigate!

Dailan felt great pressure.

The stress was so great that she even began to have stomach aches.

If she could, she really wanted to resign immediately and give up on everything——

But Dailan's intuition and experience told her that if she resigned at this time...

Perhaps what she has ushered in is "resignation" in life.

Five thousand five hundred words, updated meow!

Well, this month’s update is probably going to be a bit confusing… but generally speaking, it will be updated every day, and the number of words this month must be more than 140,000!

If I can't finish writing this month, I may have to postpone it to the beginning of next month, but at most it will only take a few more days, and it will definitely not be until March 15th.

So this should be the last month for the tower!

The last month to ask for votes——
