Chapter 17

On the fourth floor, the food and beauties are worthy of praise, not the ones in the virtual city, but... the real ones in real life.

Yao Hua and Jiang Xiaoyuan are now at a barbecue stand, cooking skewers with beer.

In addition to plant vegetables such as leeks, eggplants, and mushrooms, the dishes here also have a lot of soy products and synthetic meats.

There is also real meat. In addition to the poultry cultivated by the settlement itself, and the inexhaustible fish in several rivers, even red meat can be eaten.

The source of the red meat is quite suspicious. It is said that the owner has some relationship with a director of the Experimental Animal Breeding Center of the Academy of Sciences.

But the taste is quite authentic, and the price is very suitable for young people to consume.

Jiang Xiaoyuan brought Yao Hua over familiarly, found a corner, ticked off the menu, and said to Yao Hua, "You have to buy today's order, and you and Li Yong were the only comrades in arms back then who got along well."

"Brother Li is really good, reconnaissance brigade, trump card!" Yao Hua said with a smile: "As for me, it sounds nice, but I'm just running errands."

"Besides, if you have a better relationship with your family, you won't be able to..."

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoyuan's face was about to darken, Yao Hua hurriedly interrupted: "Stop talking! It's rare for old comrades to get together today, and I'll pay the bill! Boss—"

The boss took the list and left. Yao Hua first opened ale and put a bottle in front of Jiang Xiaoyuan: "Seriously, do you still plan to stay here for a long time? Even if you don't look for Vice Minister Jiang, with Xiaoyuan's own relationship, It’s not difficult to choose the sub-bureau below the [-]th floor, right?”

After dinner, several young men in overalls couldn't resist the temptation of a young woman in revealing clothes outside a dimly lit small house across the street, and walked over to each other, teasing and laughing.

Jiang Xiaoyuan looked at them: "You said that the experience of the massage parlor in the virtual city is different from that of the opposite one?"

"The difference is huge. One contribution is handed over to the system, and one contribution is handed over to the system through a woman." Yao Hua hit the nail on the head, and looked around again: "This fourth tower floor is still so... lively?"

Jiang Xiaoyuan said: "If you want to talk nonsense, just say it, what's the point! By the way, what's the background of that Tangning? If the commander values ​​him, why didn't he be arranged on another floor? Also, why don't we let the new residents of the Ministry of the Interior stay here?" Pre-training class?"

"Do you think he can escape?" Yao Hua said, "Training must be done, but Tangning is a bit special..."

"He is different from the five good young people in the barren town. He is a..." After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice: "Returner."

Jiang Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, but Yao Hua followed up, "Besides, Tangning is still an orphan of a martyr."

Jiang Xiaoyuan opened his personal window and connected to the office system of the sub-bureau: "The son of Academician Tang and Dr. Lin... It's exciting to watch..."

"What's the excitement? Isn't your fourth tower floor lively enough?"

"It's really lively enough..." Jiang Xiaoyuan closed the window, picked up the stick from the alloy plate that the boss just brought over: "It's rare for you to get this, just our little contribution value can make you afford big meat skewers Where else, besides going up to the fourth tower floor?!"

……

……

The residents of the upper four towers made great contributions in the coup.

Afterwards, many people moved to the tower floor below due to meritorious service, and more ordinary residents still live here.

Because of the involvement of various interests, the joint council has set the top four floors of the tower as "resident autonomous regions", and the autonomous management committee, referred to as "self-management committee", will jointly lead residents' affairs with the joint council.

The Fourth Lane of Gongjichang Street is a very quiet alley on weekdays.

A thin middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked in front, and behind him was a strong man wearing coarse overalls.

Both of them had red sleeves hanging on their sleeves, and they were walking through the alley.

The residents on the street, especially the small vendors who are open to the outside world, when they saw the two, they all showed a fawning look with alienation.

The thin middle-aged man is called Zhao Neng, and the strong man behind him is only known by street residents as Ma, and his name is Ma Sange.

According to the definition of the minimum resident contribution points in the settlement news that Tang Ning saw, both Zhao Neng and Ma San were actually below the minimum contribution points determined by the system.

But the real situation is that people cannot always live in the virtual world, and the Skynet system can only manage the part of the content that is included in the virtual world management system.

In Datong society, this part of the content is very small and does not affect the operation of the society, but in today's residential area on the upper four towers, such a part has a relatively large proportion.

To put it bluntly, the Resident Self-Government Management Committee established to manage this part of the content is also a quasi-authority body.

And as long as there is power, there will be rent-selling and rent-seeking behaviors that rely on power.Then the occupation and allocation of resources by power will soon form a balance within the management system.

Regardless of whether this management system is reasonable or not.

Zhao Neng and Ma San, who are now walking in the alley, are two small screws in this system.

Seeing some packages of packaged waste piled up at the entrance of the alley, the two looked at each other and walked inside.

……

……

Hearing someone ringing the bell outside, Tangning couldn't help being a little surprised. She put down her chopsticks and went to open the door.

Seeing Tangning open the door, Zhao Neng turned to Ma San and shouted, "Hey! Brother Ma! This house is really occupied!"

The burly man named Ma Ge had a gloomy expression and only raised his chin at Tangning.

Zhao Neng turned his head, and Tangning asked, "May I ask who you are..."

Zhao Neng wanted to push Tangning away, so he stretched his neck and looked into the room, "This room is really nice! Brother Ma, come and take a look..."

When Tang Ning raised his hand lightly, Zhao Neng felt his body lose his balance. He was about to fall into the room with a loud "ouch", but Tang Ning caught him with his arms and said calmly, "Both of you, let's clarify your identities first."

Zhao Neng seemed to have just met Tangning: "Are you new here? Don't know the rules? We are from the Self-Management Committee of Gongjichang Street, and we have to do routine inspections!"

"what to check for?"

"Eh? Check... Check if there is any illegal use of electricity, unauthorized connections, and contraband."

"Then do you have any documents?"

"What?" Zhao Neng seemed to have heard some weird question, and reached out to pat the red cuff on his left arm: "It's so big that you can't see it? What's your attitude?! What's your resident number?!"

Ma San stretched out his hand to light it in the void. He didn't know what interface he was investigating, and then he reported Tangning's number in a low voice, "1972, I just came here today."

"Oh? Newcomer..." The middle-aged man's expression suddenly became superior: "He's from the barren town?"

Speaking of the deserted town, Tangning suddenly remembered what Wang Junwu had done before. She turned around and went into the house to get two bottles of beer, "Brothers, this is just a trifle..."

The two red armbands had already taken the opportunity to enter the house, Zhao Neng looked at the furnishings of the house, and at the same time refused the beer that Tangning handed over: "This house is in good condition, what does the original owner have to do with you? "

Tangning said, "This is the legacy my parents left me."

"Have you transferred?"

"pass."

Zhao Neng looked at Tangning suspiciously, "So soon?" Then he turned to look at Ma San.

Ma San moved his fingers in the void again, his face suddenly showed disappointment, and even a hint of anger.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Neng saw the food on Tangning's table again, "Tsk tsk tsk... I can't see how young I am, this food is really good."

"Talk to him about business!" Ma San seemed a little impatient.

Zhao Neng was quite afraid of Ma San, so he said to Tangning, "Young man, your house is a bit strange, right?"

"What do you mean?" Tangning was a little confused.

Zhao Neng sneered and said, "Your house will enter the auction process next month. Now at this juncture, you suddenly appear and inherit the house...Brother, isn't it a bit of a coincidence?"

"I don't understand what you are saying. This is my inheritance from my parents, and I have inherited it legally."

"Brother, it's too boring to say you don't understand." Zhao Neng showed an expression on his face that I had seen through you: "You guys are able to play this trick, which is considered a bit of skill, but brother, you have to understand one thing - strong A dragon can't overwhelm a local snake."

After speaking, he patted the red armband on his left sleeve: "Make sure, this is the fourth tower floor, the autonomy floor."

"What are you guys trying to say?" Tangning planned to go to the virtual space left by her parents after dinner to have a look, but now two unexplainable people came, and she couldn't help feeling a little angry in her heart.

"In a word, there is a big man who has taken a fancy to your house. No, it should be said that he has taken a fancy to this alley, and the only thing missing is your house."

Zhao Neng obviously didn't take a young man who had just moved into a barren town seriously, so he thought his words were enough to deter Tangning, "I figured it out, even if you get the resident qualification, you still have to enter the training in a proper manner without the help of a big boss." Class training, after getting a diploma, you can come out to find a livelihood."

"And this training course is co-organized by the Self-Management Council and the Joint Council, so...do you understand?"

"I don't know."

"Forget it, it looks like a baby... let's make a price, but don't think that the premium is too high, otherwise even if you get contribution points, you have to have an heir to inherit the inheritance."

"Sorry, I don't intend to sell this house, please leave."

"Lengtouqing from the deserted town, I really have seen too many..." Zhao Neng sighed: "I admit, being able to come to the city shows that you have some skills."

"However, brother, I really listened to my advice, and quickly transferred this house, and changed to a small apartment below the twelfth floor. This place is not something you can afford to live in as a young man."

"Think about it, this alley belongs to other people. If you live here alone, wouldn't that be frightening? When the lights are dark, it's called "every day should not be done, and the land is not working?"

"It's better to make it easier, to make a friendship, and to give Brother Ma this face, not to mention anything else, the walks in the residential area will be smooth in the future, understand?"

"This third brother Ma also runs errands for others, right?" Tangning sneered, "I would like to ask, who is this big man you are talking about?"

"What's the use of knowing it? If you know it, you won't be able to curry favor with it?" Zhao Neng laughed again: "It's not necessarily a good thing."

"20 contribution points." Ma San was obviously not as rambling as Zhao Neng, and said again in a low voice.
