With the important matter resolved, Li Lechen was now very interested in hearing Lai Haoren talk about his father, who had permanent residency in the safe zone. He also wondered about the reason for Lai Haoren's skin and voice, which were indistinguishable from those of a modern person. And why did he always appear in public looking like he was on medication?
I believe that Ren Haoren is willing to tell me all of this, after all, he made his stance clear from the beginning.
However, Li Lechen really wanted to listen, but Lai Haoren didn't want to talk anymore; he was feeling a bit down. Thinking of his father, his mother, this world, and how even the exclusive zone was just as filthy, he even felt a little desperate.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Noticing that Lai Haoren was in a bad mood, Li Lechen asked him a question.
"It's nothing, it's probably a side effect of the medicine I just took. It makes me feel down and listless," Lai Haoren said, trying to cover it up.
Clearly, since he made it himself and took it regularly, there were no side effects other than the external symptoms.
Li Lechen also expressed his understanding: "In that case, you should get some rest."
Upon hearing this, Lai Haoren checked the time and said, "I can go to sleep in 124 minutes."
"......"
Many people have the habit of going to bed at a fixed time, especially women who often say they want to get their beauty sleep before a certain time. But what about falling asleep exactly two hours and four minutes later?
"that......"
"Li Lechen? What are you doing sitting here?!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in his ears, startling Li Lechen.
Meanwhile, Lai Haoren, preoccupied with his own thoughts, logged off without saying anything.
Although Lai Haoren had made a decision before the one-on-one video conversation that he could reveal all his secrets, he hesitated when it came time to actually tell them.
After all, he had been pretending to be stupid for hundreds of years. In order to cover up his unusually active thinking, he would often imitate those viewers and post some silly comments. Even buying that bottle of water in the exclusive area for a million was also to deceive people.
Lai Haoren took out a machine about the size of a shoebox and a bottle of murky Class V water, then poured the water into the opening.
Turn the handle next to the machine—actually, this machine doesn't need to be manually operated, but Lai Haoren feels that moving his hands helps him clear his mind quickly, so he likes to do it this way and deliberately added a manual setting.
Soon, a stream of clear water flowed out from the other end of the machine.
He drank it all in one gulp.
It tastes even better than the first-class water from the exclusive zone.
After finishing his water, Lai Haoren paused, stunned. His smart assistant reminded him that the oxygen concentration in the safety cabin was nearing the critical level; if it wasn't replenished soon, he would soon experience symptoms of oxygen deficiency such as dizziness, nausea, and confusion.
With a sigh, Lai Haoren went to the oxygen pipeline.
Under normal circumstances, no one would close the valves on the oxygen pipeline. The switch is only installed for the convenience of maintenance.
Of course, there are also some residents of safe zones who are used to living in safe cabins and have enough money to breathe oxygen produced by plants. They will also shut off the valves of chemical oxygen and rely on the oxygen produced by plants in the safe cabins to survive.
However, Lai Hao-ren did not do so for that reason.
When the oxygen in the cabin ran out, he picked up the box that had just been used to purify water; it was actually a super-powerful food purifier.
It's called a food purifier, but it can actually remove most bacteria, germs, particles, and harmful chemicals contained in gases, liquids, and solids.
Lai Haoren is unsure what harmful substances are in the chemically treated oxygen, but he feels reassured breathing the oxygen that comes out after being processed by the super-powerful food purifier.
There should also be problems with the recycled water, but Lai Hao-ren has a phobia of water that is actually purified from acid rain and urine, and he doesn't want to drink it no matter how clean it is.
Class V water isn't expensive, and after purification, it becomes Class I water directly. Why not do it?
Lai Haoren's wings are not yet fully grown. He is still just an ordinary resident of the safe zone. Although he has moved to safe zone B, he can only stay in the safe cabin and receive circulating water, chemical oxygen and even sunlight provided by the government. Unless he spends money to buy it from the mall, he has nothing to do with nature.
However, the residents who have permanent residency in the safe zone are among the top 10,000 richest people in the world, yet they enjoy almost all of the Earth's resources and shamelessly sell these resources to the poor.
The key is to add something else to it.
Lai Hao-ren's father was ostracized for opposing this, and was eventually expelled for breaking the law.
If breaking through social class was an achievable goal thousands of years ago, with one in ten people able to achieve this through hard work, the situation has become increasingly rare as social classes have become more rigid and wealth has become more concentrated.
Of course, the system will not be designed to solidify social classes in a blatant and formal way.
So the Dragon Gate is still there; it remains to be seen whether the carp can jump over it.
The annual government employee recruitment process requires a registration fee of 5 million Sunshine Coins, with an acceptance rate of approximately one percent. Of course, if the registration fee were lowered to one million or even one hundred or fifty thousand Sunshine Coins, this rate would increase dramatically.
However, the optimal setting of a registration fee of five million, which controls the number of applicants to around three hundred per year, is determined by big data analysis.
So some people choose to save up five million to apply for immigration to a safe zone, while others choose to save up five million to pay the registration fee and gamble on a chance to leap over the dragon gate.
Once you pass the exam, you'll basically have the same benefits as a permanent resident of the safe zone.
Aside from this road, it's virtually impossible for residents of the quarantined area to become permanent residents of the safe zone.
Of course, Huo Jiujian is an exception. He broke the deadlock of social stratification that had lasted for nearly two or three hundred years. From an ordinary resident of the quarantine zone to a genetically modified human from a gene bank, he gradually amassed assets of more than 5 billion yuan by advertising, selling information, and saving money.
After thinking about all this, the oxygen coming out of the oxygen pipes, after passing through the "super food purifier," has filled the entire safety cabin to a very comfortable concentration.
Turn off the valve.
Lai Haoren began applying invisible paint to a brand-new air purifier.
I promised to give it to "Wind Chaser Boy" in the exclusive zone, I can't go back on my word.
Lai Haoren had a hunch that the catalyst for a new revolution might be this guy who suddenly started live streaming in his exclusive zone.
The exclusive zone has always existed, both in the intelligent knowledge base and in official promotions, although I have never seen anyone from the exclusive zone live streaming before.
Of course, many permanent residents of safe zones never stream, and government employees are not allowed to stream or open private shops.
So it's nothing.
However, many permanent residents of the safe zone believe that their area is the legendary exclusive zone, but the authorities have never officially acknowledged this.
