White clouds float in the blue sky, and a mechanical rabbit runs beneath them.
The inner city not only has good air quality and lush green grass, but also many "wild animals" living in nature. It would be even better if Yin Zhu hadn't discovered that they were mechanical creations when she got close.
"So many animals under surveillance?"
After seeing the third mechanical animal, Yin Zhu completely lost interest in the small animals of Vena City.
"If wild animals roam freely outside, they may harm residents in the inner city, so the animals kept outside are all mechanical." Flying Fish gave a simple explanation of the common knowledge about the inner city. "If you want to see real animals, you can go to the wildlife park or pet park in the inner city. The animals there are regulated, and it is safer to play with or interact with them."
"Actually, there's also an arena..." Xiao Qiang added in a low voice.
Upon hearing that name, Flying Fish's smile faded slightly: "That place is too bloody. It's best not to go. Sometimes, humans can be beasts too."
Does this mean that indigenous people will also become "beasts" in the arena?
Yin Zhu kept a watchful eye on things.
With such advanced technology in Vina City, how could the hobbies of its high-ranking citizens still be so ancient? In Yin Zhu's memory, human participation in the arena was something that only happened in ancient times.
At this moment, Hirano San gently poked Yin Zhu's cheek and whispered to her, "In Vena City, Vena coins are the most important thing. For poor people, as long as they can survive the arena, they can earn a lot of money, so some people will gamble on it."
"Uh...gambling is harmful."
When other people lose at gambling, they end up in debt and are chased by creditors. But here, if you lose at gambling, you lose your life.
Yin Zhu never believed in probability.
She always guarantees a minimum reward when drawing cards. If it's guaranteed, anyone who believes in gambling and expects to get the item early is out of their mind!
Yin Zhu, who had been persecuted by Tencent Games, had firsthand experience of what it meant to be "1% of non-qi".
At the time, Yin Zhu played a combat game from Tencent and participated in events to collect a large number of items that could increase the success rate of crafting, hoping to upgrade her weapon.
In this game, the higher the weapon level, the higher the attack power. However, the success rate of the next upgrade decreases after each upgrade. If the upgrade fails, the entire weapon will return to level 0.
With the naive thought that "a 99% success rate can't possibly fail", Yin Zhu clicked the "upgrade" button with high hopes. Then she saw the red words "upgrade failed" appear, and the weapon that originally showed "+6" changed back to "+0".
From then on, Yin Zhu was taught a harsh lesson by reality and never believed in probability again.
She finally understood why many wealthy players were so determined to push their weapon upgrade success rate to 100%—it must have been based on their own painful lessons.
"By the way, have you remembered the behavioral characteristics of the infected individuals?"
The worm sitting in front watched them chatting happily. Seeing that the car was almost at its destination, it quickly reminded Yin Zhu and Ping Yeshan, afraid that they would forget the precautions they had agreed on before getting off the car, and that the other party would immediately recognize them as "normal humans".
"I've got it."
Yin Zhu answered lazily, even holding up her fingers and counting as she went:
"First, people infected with cybernetics hate complete humans. This emotion stems from their inferiority complex about their own incompleteness, so they should not show any pride or arrogance."
"Second, people infected with cybervirus are not normal humans. Their bodies will undergo varying degrees of mutations, and some will show abnormalities in the early stages, so don't act like you are perfectly normal."
"Third, people infected with Cybervirus have a great desire for money, which stems from their supreme trust in money. They believe that as long as they have more money, they will have a chance to be cured. Therefore, if they hear words like money or Cybercoin, they must react very strongly."
When Yin Zhu finished recounting this, Xiao Qiang, a former patient, added: "Actually, curing cybernetics requires love and hardship, not money. That kind of wrong idea is just an extreme result of brain lesions."
"Fourth, if someone is exposed, you must show hatred and desire for that person. Don't let them off too obviously. Save as many as you can," Hirano San added.
"Okay, I know."
Yin Zhu smiled foolishly.
She had some doubts in her heart: could the people infected with Cybervirus be those who were contaminated by unspeakable rules, and could the source of that contamination be in the inner city?
Leaning back in his chair, Feiyu looked at the buildings gradually appearing in the distance and suddenly spoke:
"In fact, every time the inner city is locked down, the outer city will also be in chaos."
"Why?"
"The inner city is the main service target of the outer city. The goods in the outer city are basically supplied to the inner city. Once the inner and outer cities are no longer connected, a large number of goods in the outer city will not be sold. The goods will be idle or directly destroyed. Companies will start to lay off employees to ensure that they do not go bankrupt. A large number of low-level citizens will lose their jobs and start to wander the streets or even cause trouble... This period is also the busiest time for the outer city's supervisory bureau."
This time, the worm answered.
"Can't the goods be sold at a lower price to the citizens outside the city?" Yin Zhu blinked, feeling that this was a waste.
“Because we don’t know when the lockdown will be lifted, we’d rather stockpile these goods until they’re unusable than give them to lower-class citizens.” Flying Fish said with a hint of sarcasm. “The company’s higher-ups are afraid that if the lockdown in the inner city is suddenly lifted, their stock will not be enough to meet the needs of the inner city, and they will lose the protection of the gods.”
"Moreover, how can we, lowly citizens no different from ants, be worthy of using things of the same caliber as the gods in their eyes?" The worm echoed him, its words dripping with sarcasm.
"Speaking of which, do we ever see deities at the service center?"
Yin Zhu has lived this long and has never seen a god. Even if it's not a god from Blue Star, seeing the god of Unique Star would enrich her life experience. Even if she fails in a dungeon later, she can still boast before she dies: "I've seen a god, have you?"
Although the other person will most likely yell, "Are you crazy?"
"That place is mostly filled with low-class citizens who do hard labor for the inner city. It's probably also the place where you'll feel most at home in the inner city. Gods don't want to come to such a small place."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Zhu saw buildings gradually appearing on the horizon.
It was a cluster of buildings in a standard cyberpunk style, with neon lights that never went out and interspersed floors. It was hard to imagine that in this inner city where the land was so rich that people could build houses at will, there was such a small world.
This is the same low-level citizen service center as the outer city area, which looks very crowded. Despite being full of high technology, it has not improved the quality of life of the residents much.
