Yin Zhu chatted with the gatekeeper to pass the time.
Perhaps because most people in Viña City are very busy, very few have the free time to chat with the uncle. Today, the uncle was like a seal had been broken, and once he started talking, he couldn't stop.
At first, he boasted to Yin Zhu about what he had seen and heard in the inner city, then he started talking about social systems, and finally he even listed out the names of the parents of the children in the school.
Although she hasn't met the person yet, Yin Zhu has already chosen her target.
The uncle kept talking until he got thirsty. He poured himself a glass of water from the thermos and then continued chatting with Yin Zhu: "To be honest, I've come to terms with it over the years. Maybe she and I are destined to be apart. We're from two different worlds."
"Uncle, don't be too pessimistic. Maybe she'll be demoted one day too." Yin Zhu figured most people would like to hear this, so regardless of whether the content was true or not, he casually offered some words of comfort.
However, the cat-eared uncle disagreed, frowning as if lost in some sad and painful thought: "That won't do. It's already bad enough that she can't be with me. If her social status drops further, wouldn't that be even worse?"
Although the older man seems a bit love-struck, his words, though rough, are not without merit...
Yin Zhu nodded in agreement, then steered the conversation in another direction: "Uncle, don't you think... there are more and more rules in the outer city?"
This is just Yin Zhuchun talking nonsense.
In just two days, Yin Zhu could not possibly have gained a deep understanding of the city of Vina. His knowledge of the local area was far less than that of the natives, and he would hardly notice any subtle changes in the environment.
Unless, like in "The Green House," the eeriness is directly revealed through changes in the color of the food in the house.
But without a doubt, the situation in the city of Vina is much more complicated.
If in Sin City, the Chosen Ones could easily obtain information and had the rules in their pockets from the start, then this Cyber Mythology dungeon is all about being a riddle teller, where you have to find out the rules yourself.
If the rules are harder to grasp, how can we determine if the environment has changed?
Knowing that relying on the Chosen Ones was useless, Yin Zhu naturally set his sights on the indigenous people, using vague language to entice them to think, thereby providing him with some information. As for what they would think of, that was beyond Yin Zhu's control.
After hearing Yin Zhu's mysterious remarks, the cat-eared uncle indeed fell silent, his expression slightly solemn: "Speaking of which, it is true. In the past few years, the rules of the outer city have been revised several times, and even a 'New Rules for the Governance of Vina City' has been issued, adding more than a dozen controlled items."
"Yes, the list of prohibited items is getting longer and longer. I can hardly remember it all. It would be troublesome if I broke the rules and got caught one day," Yin Zhu sighed.
7. Possession of prohibited items is forbidden (see appendix for details).
In reality, Yin Zhu had no idea what prohibited items were included, because the information provided by Hirano San did not include this appendix. She could only deduce what were legal items from the information of passersby.
This isn't Hirano Sane's fault, after all, there are too many and too many types of contraband, just writing them down would take several pages.
Who would carry that thing around for no reason?
That's why, after hearing Yin Zhu's words, Uncle Cat Ears looked at her with more respect: "You can actually memorize that? There must be more than 300 lines now, right?"
"Just a little bit, I roughly know what it is."
Yin Zhu has mastered the art of deceiving people to an art form. His Tai Chi skills are so superb that his answers seem perfectly reasonable, but they can't withstand scrutiny because they don't actually contain any concrete answers.
The uncle received a reasonably reasonable answer, so he didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, he used the topic to bring up another issue: "I don't know what's going on in the inner city. It feels like it's getting stranger and stranger these past few years. In the past, there were some B-level citizens who would come out to conduct inspections, but now many of them are handled by C-level executives."
"Perhaps it was the arrangement of the gods."
Yin Zhu believed in adapting to local customs, and even her perfunctory excuses quickly blended into the local style.
"That's true. Who knows what kind of ingenious ideas those immortals might have? It's just making things difficult for the people below." The uncle was indeed a bit outspoken when he spoke, no wonder his rival had caught him red-handed.
Yin Zhu was secretly overjoyed, but her face remained serene and concerned: "Do you think robots will eventually replace Class B citizens, and from then on, everyone below the level of gods will be nothing but straw dogs?"
"Huh? That's impossible... Sigh, some parents are coming to pick up their kids, let's talk later." The uncle probably didn't quite understand either, so he quickly changed the subject.
Seeing a familiar parent approaching, the cat-eared uncle shoved aside Yin Zhu, whom he had just met, quickly picked up his baton, and went over to begin his main task—verifying the parent's identity before letting them in.
As parents and children continued to come and go, Yin Zhu quietly waited on the side, looking for her prey.
Finally, Yin Zhu got her wish.
It was a happy family of three, but the wife was too busy with work, so only the husband came to pick up their beloved daughter. Both of them were extremely dedicated to their child's education, hoping she would succeed and that their family could achieve further upward mobility.
Considering that Hirano Shan is still at home and needs to be fed, Yin Zhu is determined to get this private coaching job.
...
A somewhat dirty handkerchief vanished from Jennifer's hand.
To convince the audience, Jennifer flipped her wrists in front of the Indigenous people, showing them her hands: "See, there's nothing there."
