Chapter 1239: The eliminated humans


    The team of three people increased to four people. As a "captured" member, Chen Chou walked around Xu Huo and the others diligently, sometimes walking forward to explore the way, sometimes turning around to deliver water and food, without any grudge at all.


    ?This made Mu Yan and Li Cheng feel a little uncomfortable. After all, they had never encountered such a person before.


    And his name is still true.


    He was really called Chou, and he shared his experience without any hesitation, saying that he was abandoned because he was too ugly when he was born—this is doubtful, because he learned about it from other people who adopted him. The family named him Chou to be realistic.


    Under normal circumstances, children are given whatever is good for their name, or they are just casually named by a popular or bad name. The person who named Chen Chou had a bit of malice.


    “Isn’t it easy to change your name?” Li Cheng said, “You are a player, so you can do it one day at a time.”


    ?? Chen Chou said with a smile: "If I look like this, people will just call me an ugly man, and they won''t bother to bother."


    "Are you from District 001?" Mu Yan looked at him for a while before asking: "Which city do you live in?"


    Chen Chou''s smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and he opened his mouth and said: "Flower City."


    Mu Yan immediately closed his mouth.


    "What happened to Flower City?" Xu Huo, who was leaning aside to drink water, asked. Previously, a player identified Mu Yan as a person from Flower City. He admitted that people in Flower City have the fragrance of flowers on their bodies and are easy to identify. However, Chen Chou didn''t have it.


    “Although Flower City is called Flower City, flowers are not grown everywhere,” Mu Yan said. “The city is so big, there are always places that the government cannot take care of.”


    "That''s putting it politely." Li Cheng said: "The places where powerful people and ordinary people live in District 001 are clearly separated. On the surface, they seem to be under unified management, but in fact ordinary people are not allowed to enter the city during non-important festivals. Directly under the jurisdiction of the State, otherwise it is a crime, ranging from imprisonment to death. "


    "Aren''t the laws in District 001 very complete?" Xu Huo put down his water bottle, "Are there two different sets of laws for those who control social resources and those who control ordinary people?"


    “I heard that it is a public security management law that specifically targets the areas directly under the Central Government. It is not announced to the outside world. Ordinary citizens are usually notified that they cannot enter the areas directly under the Central Government. As for what crimes they will commit if they go in... Just don’t go in.”


    “However, players can enter the municipality.”


    ??Li Cheng twitched his lips, "Like all other game zones, area 001 also welcomes foreign players to settle. If they are advanced players and hold the Bright Gentleman card, they will rent and sell houses to you at low prices."


    “If you can live in a municipality directly under the Central Government, the treatment will be very good. The government will not only ask for help every day, but also provide you with food and medicine on a regular basis, and even clothes and shoes will be prepared for you.”


    “But the benefit of clothes is not only available to the municipalities directly under the Central Government, but also to ordinary people. Many medium and large cities distribute clothes to citizens on a regular basis every year.”


    ? Out of the three people present, only Xu Huo seemed not to know much about the situation in District 001. “It turns out that many residents of Card City wear similar styles of clothes and it’s not because of fashion.”


    "Popular..." Li Cheng couldn''t help but smile and shook his head. "During large-scale festivals, citizens must wear clothes designated by the government and go out on the streets. Otherwise, they will be punished. Although they will not go to jail, their welfare will be cut. Many civilians rely on government welfare. "


    After the development of science and technology, many manual positions have been replaced by machines. Even the maintenance of some precision instruments can be done by machines, not to mention some other light industries, and even intermediate links do not require manpower. Some other art industries have also been replaced by machines. What writing, drawing, and music can be done by humans, machines can do better.


    So it’s not that ordinary citizens don’t want to do things, they just have nothing to do.


    After all, for Area 001, which pursues perfection, things created by manpower are somewhat flawed.


    "After I investigated the information of District 001, I even felt that the biggest contribution of ordinary people to this city was to look lively." Li Cheng felt incredible and felt that it was normal for ordinary people to be eliminated in this situation, "We are in Solitaire The people in the service industry seen in the city can actually be replaced by machines. In District 001, it is no problem for everyone to have an intelligent guidance robot." Mu Yan nodded slightly in silence.


    This is Area 001, which looks lively but is actually cold.


    "The government does not support these people for nothing," Chen Chou interjected: "Every year, a large number of players are born from civilians. You see, people like me who were abandoned by their parents since childhood can grow up without worries about food and clothing. Compared with It’s much better for ordinary people in other districts.”


    Half of what he said came from his heart.


    Mu Yan glanced at him and moved his lips, but said nothing more.


    ? Xu Huo didn’t understand the contents of Area 001, but from the attitudes of the two and Li Cheng’s words, the ordinary people in Area 001 who had no worries about food and clothing should not be as good as they seemed.


    “This must be a city with serious involution.” He lamented.


    This topic was ended by him with a strange sentence.


    Within half a day after that, they finally found two players in the heavy fog. Originally they just wanted to ask for directions, but the other players were extremely alert and started to attack without saying a word, so they could only give them a ride.


    Mu Yan got the black card 1 again.


    This card was taken away by the white-faced players the night before, and it is back in their hands today.


    “Those two brothers are in trouble.” Li Cheng said.


    Not long after, Xu Huo opened a clue on the maze wall, suggesting that someone had obtained six flower cards.


    ?This clue is not new and has been revealed before. Considering that the information on the maze wall is half true and half false, it may not be true.


    Mu Yan knew that Xu Huo had several flower cards in his hand, and Chen Chou also had one. Doesn’t this mean that the twelve flower cards were almost divided between the two people?


    "The news may not be true." Xu Huo said, but he also knew in his heart that if Xue Lang''s goal was to get six flower cards to pass the level, it would not be difficult for him to get six cards. What was difficult was how to color the flowers. Just everything.


    ?So he turned around and asked Chen Chou what cards he had in his hand.


    ? Chen Chou was holding white solid gold boots. After being asked, he once again said that he had no nostalgia for the flower cards and could exchange them with Xu Huo. He just wanted to find an exchange card.


    Xu Huo now has three flower cards, two black and one white, in his hand. Counting Chen Chou, he barely has two cards each, but he also wants to get a set together.


    ??If there are really six cards in Xue Lang''s hand, the possibility is not very high.


    "Should we go find exchange cards?" Mu Yan asked: "The two exchange cards before have probably returned to the starting point. They are now held by the players, so they can go back to block people."


    Don’t worry about not being able to find the starting point, because the players behind you will definitely find them, and it is more cost-effective to intercept the new players. The fewer cards in their hands means that their cards do not need to be randomly shuffled.
