Resurrection Empire

Ren Zhong shook his head: "In my territory, I am the Emperor of the Earth, and no one can overwhelm me. But you see, these positions are all controlled by others. That's all. As far as I know, the sequence of consuls in municipal administrative units is Positions are usually hereditary in the family, and many people will be locked up as deputy positions for the rest of their lives, so what's the point?"

Zhou Ya: "You can see it clearly. Then why didn't you choose the laboratory of Amethyst Mining? With your academic ability, you will definitely be reused."

When he said this, Zhou Ya's eyes flashed a trace of undetectable expectation.

Ren Zhong shook his head, "I am indeed very talented in the field of metallurgy and mining, but being talented does not mean I like it. Besides, since I got the engineer certificate, I have made a lot of contributions to Amethyst Mining. But it’s really not that time-consuming, it’s so easy, it’s not challenging. What a free time I’ll have the rest of the time.”

Seeing his confident appearance, Zhou Ya didn't know how to complain for a while.

Ren Zhong is really crazy to the point of no end.

The two chatted outside the door for a few minutes, the door opened automatically, Director Xia walked out from inside, and handed Ren Zhong a handwritten list.

"The elders discussed your matter just now, and I will give you a new choice."

"what?"

"Grassroots census officer."

These three words instantly brought Ren Zhong back to a long, long time ago.

Looking back at the beginning, he relied on this identity to sneak into Xinghuo Town to bluff and deceive, and he was always in danger.

He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to enter the room now.

But he was just emotional and didn't directly agree.

Over there, Director Xia said again: "You may not understand the functional system of the census officer. Unlike other departments, the census officer has its own system and is directly under the jurisdiction of the elders. If you can complete the work with due diligence, you will have the opportunity to work here. Continue to get promoted in the position, and you can even join the elders. To tell you the truth, the association will ban a large number of small towns in the next 20 years. The census officer is too fat to be fat. Pen, don’t care about people or money, you can get what you want. Apart from busy work, there are no other shortcomings.”

Ren Zhong thought about it for a long time.

In a sense, director Xia said in his heart that this census officer is indeed his dream job.

But he wondered if it was a trap.

After thinking for a long time, he asked again: "Are there any other options? Also, is there any restriction on my working area? I have to avoid suspicion with towns like Yangsheng City, right?"

Director Xia: "Of course it is necessary. Well, there is a second option, that is, you can consider joining the secretariat of the elders and do some clerical work. In this way, you may have the opportunity to directly contact the nine highest Elder."

"Oh……"

Ren Zhong's tone was drawn out, and he was even more startled.

"Let's think about it. Well... just the census officer."

When Director Xia heard this, a smile appeared on his face, as if he had settled a big concern, "That's fine, I'll make arrangements for you."

"When will I take office?"

"Appointment? It's still early, you have to enter the census officer academy to study first. After you get the certificate, you will have an internship with the official census officer for at least three years, and then you can get the guarantee from the trainee teacher you followed before you can become a regular. I This is not to cheat you. Since ancient times, all official census officers have had to go through this process. After all, you also know that census officers have too much power, and the decisions they make are often related to the lives of thousands of people. Right?"

Ren Zhong acted annoyed, "What, why don't you say it first?"

"I thought you knew."

"Can I change my mind?"

"I have already reported it when you just agreed, but you insist on changing it. According to the current law, this is a crime."

Ren Zhong: "..."

Director Xia: "You will be sentenced to three to ten years of compulsory work, and your freedom of life will be restricted."

Ren Zhong just wanted to laugh.

After chatting for so long, it turns out that the pit dug by the association is actually here.

He felt a little magical, even more absurd.

This "law" is really a joke.

To put it bluntly, the association wanted to find a plausible reason to depose him, but it didn't want to affect the recovery plan and stimulate Ying Hao and Ma Xiacheng.

There is no doubt that his next study in that census official academy will not be smooth sailing, and the next so-called internship will definitely be full of pitfalls.

Right now, Ren Zhong has two choices, to stab someone to death immediately and then blew himself up, and to go back in time to avoid lightning.

Or try to read his books for half a month in advanced schools, judge the situation, and make sure that things can't be done before self-destructing.

After thinking about it for a while, Ren Zhong decided to try it first, and then talk about it.

He showed a frustrated expression and sighed, "Okay, then I'll give it a try. I hope I can live up to my mission."

After bidding farewell to Director Xia, Ren Zhong and Zhou Ya left the HR department side by side.

"Mr. Ren, you will go to school to report tomorrow. You can move freely today. This is the entertainment facility in Xiayuanjing City, most of which are open to seventh-level citizens like you for free. If you want to go, you can let me Arrange for you."

Ren Zhong looked down.

Arena, Qunfang Pavilion, Simulated Star Wars Club, Human Nature Paradise, Shangyuanjing City Observation Deck...

Most of the entertainment facilities can be just as the name suggests, only a few make him puzzled.

Pointing to this paradise of human nature, he asked, "What kind of gameplay is this?"

Zhou Ya: "Advanced citizens can do some explorations related to human nature here. The most classic way to play is to put a thousand barren volunteers or bankrupt citizen slaves into a closed place to become contestants. Every participating player Can choose a contestant, configure different equipment for this contestant. The value of all equipment must not exceed a certain limit. Whoever chooses the contestant who survives to the end wins. Let me remind you by the way, most Some preparatory census officers especially like this game, because they can see the side of barren people who are not human. This understanding will help them make decisions in their future work."

Chapter 368 The Hillbilly

Let Ren Zhong think for about ten seconds, Zhou Ya asked: "Mr. Ren, have you decided where to go? I recommend Qunfang Pavilion. This is the first place for most male citizens after they first moved to Xiayuanjing City. Choose. Quietly tell you that most of the famous artists on Yuanxing have the obligation to work in Qunfang Pavilion on a regular basis. If you are a seventh-level citizen with a high status like you, you can even name them, and you will Artists who are not in Qunfang Pavilion are called. You have ten free naming rights every month, and each time you can use the artist for three days."

Ren Zhong: "Huh? When I first arrived in Xinghuo Town, I watched some film and television dramas and cultural programs. Aren't those well-known entertainers quite rich? Why do they engage in this kind of work?"

Zhou Ya: "Because most of these people are useless except for their beautiful bodies. At the same time, their backgrounds are not very good. These people need a channel and platform to get in touch with high-level citizens like you. As for being rich, it's not really a big deal. .Artists are only richer than barbarians and low-level citizens, far worse than you. You may not be aware that Yuanxing’s entertainment industry is under the control of Shenxun Group. The biggest profits are made by the brokerage companies under Shenxun Group Yes. Only a very small number of high-level citizens who become artists out of interest enjoy certain autonomy and do not need to come to Qunfang Pavilion. How is it? Are you interested? I know some particularly beautiful entertainers are visiting Qunfang Pavilion recently."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not interested for now. Take me to the Paradise of Human Nature, I'm curious about this."

"Ok."

Zhou Ya looked at Ren Zhong with slightly surprised eyes, but she had already quietly put a question mark on a piece of information in her heart.

The information was wrong, and Ren Zhong was not as lustful as he once pretended to be.

On Yuanxing, young people of this age and physical condition will basically not resist their desires, only those with great ambitions will deliberately control their desires.

Combined with what Ren Zhong has done in the recent period, Zhou Ya's heart suddenly became alarmed.

She found that she couldn't understand where Ren Zhong's ambition was at all.

She also checked the evaluation given by the Psychic Institute.

Ren Zhong once admitted that he wanted to become the tenth richest under the nine major groups.

This ambition is indeed great, which seems to explain why he is so self-disciplined.

But release desire and self-discipline entrepreneurship are not absolute conflicts.

With many doubts, Zhou Ya led a heavy mission across half of the city and arrived at the "Paradise".

The paradise covers an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, surrounded by alloy walls twice as high as ordinary town walls.

Zhou Ya introduced: "This solid city wall is equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, which can effectively prevent the contestants from escaping."

The responsibility is heavy: "What about the underground?"

"There is also a reinforced structure underground. After all, there are always some contestants who are not so peaceful. After losing the sleeping space of the watch, the Human Nature Paradise has carried the spiritual entertainment needs of a large number of citizens, so Shenxun Group repaired the interior of the city wall immediately. The computing power center of the weapon has restored its automation capability."

Ren Zhong: "I see. Minister Ma Xiacheng never mentioned this to me."

Zhou Ya: "Minister Ma, as the core manager of Shenxun Group, will not interfere with such low-end business."

"That's true."

Stepping off the shuttle, the two walked side by side into the eight-meter-high doorway below the giant city wall.

Before entering the door, Zhou Ya took out a white mask from nowhere and covered her face.

Ren Zhong: "Why?"

Zhou Ya: "I'm not very popular in Xiayuanjing City, so I can avoid extra problems."

Ren Zhong thought for a while, "Give me a mask too."

"Sorry, I only brought one."

"Okay, that's it."

After entering, two staff members in uniform walked up to them.

A man and a woman, tall and slender, with good looks.

The woman approached and bowed deeply, "Welcome to the Paradise of Humanity. We are the guides of the two. Please show your identification, so that I can arrange proper services for you."

Ren Zhong raised his left hand, revealing his watch.

The woman also raised her hand, and the two watches touched lightly, making a ticking sound.

Then the woman looked down at her watch, her complexion changed slightly, and she quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Ren, please come with me. You are a special seventh-level citizen and can enjoy eighth-level benefits."

With the movement of bowing, the woman seemed to be quietly tugging at the corner of her own clothes from below, trying to reveal more skin.

Ren Zhong didn't take care of her money, but she acted affectionately, she just said: "Lead the way."

"Ok."

Although this is a passage within the city wall, the wall has the function of self-illumination, so it is spacious and bright.

The four stepped on the conveyor belt, went all the way in, then turned sideways, and then walked up the elevator.

The elevator stopped, the door opened, and what Ren Zhong saw was a spacious and bright rectangular hall.

There are rockery fountains in the hall, and even rare green plants on the ground, creating a garden scene.

The female guide made a gesture of invitation, "The two VIP booths are inside, please follow me."

A few people walked in, and their heavy eyes swept along the way, only to see three or five or seven or eight people happily sitting in the spacious and bright booth.

Beside these people is a large piece of floor-to-ceiling glass, which can look down from a condescending height.

Noticing that Ren Zhong's gaze fell on the glass, the female guide explained: "This is high-strength explosion-proof glass, even if it is directly hit by a live ammunition weapon or energy weapon above level [-], it will not be injured. The glass inside is also a holographic projection screen. , When the game starts, Mr. Ren, you can either use the telescope to observe, or let the projection wall put the image directly beside you."

Ren Zhong was puzzled: "Holographic projection resumed so soon?"

The female guide nodded, "That's right, it probably happened last month. But our side is just a pilot, and we should be the first merchant in the world to use the new holographic projection. After all, the entertainment life of citizens is very important."

Ren nodded, noncommittal.

After walking in the long corridor for about 2 minutes, when passing a booth, Ren Zhong heard a slightly harsh shout suddenly sounded beside him.

"Hey! Is it a heavy responsibility?"

The voice was very unfamiliar, and Ren Zhong looked over it suspiciously, only to see a group of vigorous young girls standing up from the booth, stretching their necks and looking at him.

The girl whose name was broken earlier jumped over, blinked her big watery eyes, looked up and down, and then covered her mouth and exclaimed: "It's really you. Hello, hello, very happy!" it's happy to meet you."

Ren Zhong: "Who are you?"

"I'm your fan! You haven't updated the battle video for a long time."

This girl was very familiar, and she wanted to grab Ren Zhong's hand as she spoke.

Ren Zhong hid his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly: "I will update when I have a chance. But please make way for now, I have to go to my booth."

Girl: "That's not okay, it's so rare to meet an idol, come and sit with us. I'll treat your consumption today!"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "You're welcome, no need."

Just as she was talking, a group of people crowded behind the girl, surrounded Ren Zhong from all directions, chatting with each other, it was very lively.

Someone even secretly tried to rub Ren Zhong.

The task was overwhelming, so he had to use a little strength to jump out of the crowd first, and then looked down at the position of the deck indicated on the watch, and walked to the distance without turning his head.

The girls rushed to nothing, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

When he was far away, Ren Zhong sat directly on his booth, ignoring other people, and only looked down at the rules of the game.

It turns out that this so-called game of human nature has more than one round a day, and sometimes the pace of the game is fast enough that it can even count several rounds a day.

The scale is not limited to thousands of people.

If enough barren people or slaves are brought in, enough citizens come to participate in the entertainment, and even a game of thousands of people can be formed.

Now the last round has just ended, and the next round will start in 15 minutes.
