Chapter 270 Holiday End
Homeless people in Night City have always been a big problem.
The latest economic crisis originated from the unification war launched by the new United States. This war destroyed Taiping Prefecture, a large number of investors withdrew their capital, companies ran away, leaving a land full of chicken feathers.
Because of the existence of Dog Town and the hopeless economic collapse, Mayor Lucius Lane faced this dilemma and came up with a proactive solution:
Directly transfer Taiping Prefecture to Crime data and other statistical indicators are excluded from the Night City Statistical Yearbook.
It should be said that statistics is an art, and Mayor Lane has figured it out.
With this exclusion, the crime rate in Night City plummeted.
Now he will launch an even more important plan: to eliminate the homeless!
Yes, what this policy wants to do is literally eliminate homeless people.
This matter has become a point of heavy criticism from his opponent Peralez in the next mayoral election.
And if you want to understand this policy more comprehensively and eliminate related hidden dangers, you have to find this candidate Jefferson Peralez.
After checking the situation of the stronghold and understanding the income and expenditure, Lille and V embarked on the return journey.
Putting his hand on the window, V yawned again, showing a lack of interest: "Hey, why does it feel like it's just a ride."
"Otherwise, every day A gunfight? "
The car started, Lear turned on the radio and tuned to the body temperature radio station, which was playing "Night City".
The electronic sound sounded, and V raised his eyebrows: "It's quite appropriate, so we are going to get involved in the mayoral election soon? It sounds like there is a lot of money to be made."
"This kind of thing usually happens. If you have more money and less money, you may have to take the blame. Politicians are much more shady than you think.”
"Can it be darker than you?"
Liel glanced at her helplessly: "Can you change the comparison object."
"There is no way, the blackest I have ever seen It’s just you, if we get involved, who will we help?”
"Tell me what you think."
"Me?" V thought for a while, "Holt is a stinky piece of shit, no one will choose him; Ryan is a sinister fat man, but he has indeed done some practical things. .
Perapace. He sounds nice, but some people on the Internet say that he was introduced by military technology to make Night City become independent. In the end, he is still a corporate dog.
What a dog said is equivalent to farting.
No, I said, we seem to be a little bloated, and we are talking about elections.”
In Night City, although there are elections, a special centralized democracy is implemented.
This kind of democracy is based on the ten largest giant companies in Night City electing council members and then electing the mayor.
In other words, from a direct perspective, the election actually has little to do with the citizens of Night City.
But these are just superficial, qualified politicians should be able to notice, because the requirements of this democratic condition are: the headquarters should be in Night City, and the ten most powerful companies in Night City should implement democracy.
So essentially, the resources each company invests in Night City and its policies towards citizens will be fed back into data such as turnover, and then they will be given democratic rights.
Of course, considering the large scale of these enterprises and their great impact on society, the impact of citizens on democratic elections is still basically in a very delicate position.
It would not be wrong to say that it has little to do with the citizens.
Lille shook his head: "We are also big brothers now. If we are not qualified to participate, the people in Night City will really be just numbers.
So Ryan is still Pei Lares?”
“It’s as if I gave you a name and you picked it out for me——
I would choose Ryan. Considering my experience in Atlanta, I guess I have to thank Ryan. People like me can only make a name for themselves in Night City. ”
“Who is not. "
V glanced at Lille slightly strangely: "So humble? "
"That's necessary. Lear smiled, "If it weren't for the famous V, I wouldn't be where I am today." ”
“It’s up to you. "V moved his butt with satisfaction and moved his chair back a little, "But it would be nice if he could be more decent like Peralez.
Alas, why can we only choose sides between the assholes? ”
The car drove over the Santo Domingo Bridge and entered the Li Scenic Area. From here on, the light became more bright.
The company’s high-rise buildings covered the sky, and artificial light sources replaced the stars and the moon. , hanging high above his head
The music prelude ended, and the electronic female voice sounded: "good morning, nightcity"
V relaxed and put a pair of long legs on the front panel of the car——
< br>
Leal glanced at it, and the robotic arm put her legs back.
“What are you doing!”
“It’s just a matter of not wearing a seat belt, but you still engage in dangerous actions?”
“You are so lenient”
< br>Early the next morning, Lear and V went to Mrs. Wells’ house to find Jack—the boy’s face was red, which made Lear suspicious: “Jack, didn’t you do some awesome Thursday last night?”
“What an awesome Thursday, it’s Wild Wolf Beer Festival!”
In the garage of Jack’s house, the big man patted his motorcycle.
This is an ARCH Nazaré, painted in red and black.
“In such a good mood?” V asked in surprise, “What did you do besides drinking yesterday?”
"Hey~" Jack waved his hand with a proud look on his face, and turned to one side to "inadvertently" reveal the hangings on the wall behind the bed.
This hanging ornament looks like a circle made of some kind of branches. A net is wrapped around the circle with thin wires. Colorful beads and dyed colored feathers are hung under the circle
Very exquisite jewelry, you can tell it is handmade at a glance.
Lil raised his eyebrows when he saw this thing: "Dream catcher?"
"I'll go and identify the goods, hemano, how do you know this is the dream catcher Misty gave me? Net? ”
Jack chuckled and hugged Lear: "It looks good. Only good dreams will pass through this net and flow down the feathers. Nightmares will be trapped in dreams.
As the next day unfolds, Sunshine, vanish into ashes~Bang."
As he spoke, he held up his other hand, placed it under the sun, and blew on it.
I have to say that Jack really looks like a kid showing off his toys
It can be seen that this big man was not drunk yesterday, and he went out for a ride with Misty. took a ride.
Jack hugged Lear: "Good brother, you should think about this, otherwise you would make so much money"
Jack suddenly got stuck in the middle of the sentence, Lear seemed to be a loser
br>
V was right behind the two of them, watching the two people exchange feelings: "The things are good, but we should discuss the future work."
Jack let go of Lear, Scratched his head: "Indeed, what are you going to do with the next vote?"
Liel said: "Let's go see our mayoral candidate Peralez, he may have a job for us.< br>
After the meeting, I thought about how to proceed. I guessed that the candidate had a lot to say to us. "
Jack sat on his motorcycle and said:
"Mayor candidates have these three common experiences on the streets: First, the first step is to take on a 'top secret' mission. Rule: Don’t pick it up. "
V also shrugged: "Second, the first rule of cooperation with politicians: don't cooperate. "
The two looked at each other and said the third rule in unison: "Third, the first rule of contact with the police: don't contact. ”
V added: "But we have more insidious people here."
Jack also nodded: "This job will be very fat, right?"
Liel's face was full of black lines: " No, you may have misunderstood me."
The two looked at each other and shook their heads.
“.” Lille seemed to be choked, but he quickly moved on to the next topic.
"It's hard to say whether it's fat or not. You'll know it only when you meet it. But I guess you will inevitably have to deal with companies and gangs on this trip. You can find a way to make a fortune.
If you have no objections, I will start to contact Peralez. , and then see how to do the next vote——
Then, the holiday is over No one has any objections, right?"
Jack showed his arms, full of enthusiasm: "It's necessary mano!"
V looked at the energetic Jack and Lear and asked suddenly. Said: "I feel less motivated recently than before. Do you have any clues?"
"Not motivated?" Jack wondered, "There's something wrong with you, sister, do you have a house? Do you have a car? And..."
Liel raised his hand to signal Jack to stop talking, and looked at V: " It’s okay, you’ll be motivated soon.”
