After Fang Ning's encounter with the family of three, he continued to ascend the elevator. This short experience was an eye-opener for him.
The emergence of the management chip made him understand that in the past, the power of the higher-ups was shrinking from the grassroots, and they had to rely on the villagers.
However, in the new era, the power of the higher-ups was directly administered to everyone.
The advantage of this kind of management was that it was easy to mobilize everyone's power, but the disadvantage was that individuals completely lost their freedom. The so-called protection of privacy was completely dependent on the conscience of the higher-ups.
However, in this dangerous era, it was obvious that they could only take care of the former first, and the latter could only wait for the future.
"It's no wonder that such a high-density society can still maintain such good public order. Other than cultivators, most people have no ability to resist the management chips in their bodies. A simple electrotherapy is enough to cause immense pain, not to mention the fact that they can seize the human body. This is too scary …" Fang Ning sighed.
"Uh, this stupid chip can also be seized? I don't believe it, it must be a fake seizure. "Sir System said gloomily.
While the man and the system were talking, the elevator suddenly stopped when it reached the 22nd floor, and the elevator door opened again.
A middle-aged man roared and rushed into the elevator.
"Let me out, I'm suffocating!"
He wanted to press the button to reach the next floor.
However, his hands did not listen to him, and he could not press it.
"Warning, you have used up the number of times you can go downstairs for the day. Please return to your room, you can choose to use VR life to relax." The familiar electronic voice sounded.
"Screw VR, I want to go to the real world outside!" The middle-aged man hugged his head with both hands and screamed crazily.
"Your actions have disturbed a high-level authority, you are now muted. Your body will be forcibly seized for 24 hours, and you will receive re-education." The electronic voice said coldly.
"You are alone! Censor! This is nacui! I want freedom! "The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide and roared his last words.
He then stopped, pressed the elevator door, and walked out slowly like a puppet.
"Uh, is this their way of seizing?" Sir System said disdainfully, "It's just like a marionette, what can it do? The difference between us is like heaven and earth. "
"At least it can stop mortals from committing crimes and violating the law," Fang Ning said faintly. "You'll have fewer targets for your chivalry in the future."
"Tsk, who cares about that little bit of experience now? It's not even enough for me to take a bite, "Sir System said in disdain.
"That's not what you used to say. You always said that the richer you are, the more you can't relax, and the more you can't relax, the richer you are …" Fang Ning said in disdain.
"Uh, I think I did say that before," Sir System said sheepishly. "But wasn't there no efficient farming industry at that time? Now that we have it, we don't have to worry about those inefficient hunting activities. "
"Cut the crap and follow this man," Fang Ning ordered.
"What do you want? Don't tell me you're trying to be kind again? "Sir System said gloomily.
"I don't have that much free time. I want to see how the people on this floor live. Not everyone can endure such a small space. Besides, it's easy to cause various psychological problems," Fang Ning said thoughtfully.
"What's the point of worrying so much? Mind your own business, "Sir System said in disdain.
"What do you know? If you don't grasp every detail, you won't be able to control the overall situation. The general trend of every era is shown from the individual elements, "Fang Ning said in disdain.
"I don't understand. Anyway, if you have power, you have the general trend. If you don't have power, you can only go with the flow and be bound by the general trend," Sir System said plausibly.
Fang Ning ignored Sir System and took over his body, following the staggering man.
After exiting the elevator, they were greeted by a wide hall.
The hall was huge, at least a few hundred square meters.
There were all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs planted in the hall, as well as a small fountain and all kinds of sports equipment that would not disturb the people, forming a small resting garden.
The garden was surrounded by dark green walls, and there were doors on the walls with house numbers hanging on them. It seemed that this was where the real homes were.
The garden was decorated luxuriously. In Fang Ning's previous era, this was something that could only be purchased in a top-notch mansion.
Now, it was a standard feature on every floor of the building.
In terms of material productivity, this seemingly turbulent era had actually improved several times compared to the past.
In the garden, there were some people sitting. Some of them were reading, but most of them were sitting cross-legged and cultivating.
Some of them were whispering, and from time to time, mysterious terms such as "acupuncture points" and "meridians" could be heard.
In the previous era, these things could not be verified. They were only used as the basis for acupuncture and were not recognized in official scientific research.
Now, they could be used by people to move vitality and use for cultivation.
The crazy middle-aged man was expressionless. He staggered through the garden and walked behind a flowerbed. There was a door there, and it seemed to be his home.
"Look, isn't that Uncle Long?"
"Yeah, looks like he's gone crazy again. Fortunately, we have the management chip, and we can seize him. Otherwise, what would we do?" Some people whispered.
"Yeah, after being injected with the management chip, these unimaginable mental patients are easy to manage. We don't have to worry about them suddenly hurting people, and we don't have to worry about their families. Anyway, the management chip won't get tired, and it can ensure his safety. "Someone was very glad.
Wherever the man called Uncle Long went, people would avoid him as if he was the plague.
Finally, Uncle Long walked into his house, and people breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really, it's good enough to have a place to live."
"Yeah, there are people who don't know how to be content. If we really let him live in a place with ghosts every day for three days, he'll complain about Heaven, Earth, and the air again!" Someone mocked.
"That's right. Like this, we have food, drinks, a job, and we can cultivate. When we're free, we can play games and watch movies. You know, it's the end of the world now! There are ghosts running amok outside, we can't cause trouble for the higher-ups. "
"That's right, that's right."
"Seems like reasonable people are still the majority." Fang Ning said to Sir System, gratified.
"In your dreams," Sir System said in disdain. "Do you want to hear their true thoughts?"
Fang Ning was shocked. "You can peek at my thoughts, but now you can peek at other people's thoughts too?"
"Hmph, of course I can't peek at everyone's thoughts, but there are many people here who have cultivated their spiritual sense. Their mental activities will appear as a form of spiritual sense and spread outwards. Moreover, they haven't started cultivating and don't know how to restrain their spiritual sense. We're right beside them, so I can easily catch them. Thanks to years of peeking at your thoughts, I've come up with an effective method to distinguish spiritual sense. "Sir System said proudly.
"Then let me have a look." Fang Ning did not have the time to despise this shameless fellow. Just as he was about to urge it, he asked, "Is this against the path of chivalry?"
Everyone had the hobby of peeking at other people's thoughts. Otherwise, all kinds of gossip and rumors would not have spread so quickly.
However, Fang Ning knew the severity of the matter and would not let his temper run wild.
"Look at what you're saying, it's not that serious. I'm doing this to prevent danger, and I won't reveal their privacy to others. "Sir System said plausibly.
"Alright then, find someone to let me have a look at their mental activities." Fang Ning immediately lost his integrity.
"Who do you want to see?" Sir System asked.
Fang Ning chose a man who spoke the most enthusiastically just now, pointed at him and said, "That one, what he said just now made the most sense."
"Alright, I'll let you feel it now." Sir System was very happy.
Soon, Fang Ning saw lines of text appear above the man's head.
"Uh, Manager, my performance just now was not bad, right? How much can I give you this time?"
"Citizen XXXXX, you've successfully appeased the emotions of 32 people, 5 points can be awarded, I hope you can keep up the good work …"
"How stingy. I need to accumulate 10,000 points to go up a level, I still have to work hard! "
