I'm just a poor, weak and skinny NPC

"You know the 'happy stickers' that have become popular recently?"

"Happy stickers? What's that?"

It sounded like a new wave of some kind, and that got Rita interested.

"Recently, an organization called 'Passionate' emerged in Italy. It's been 9012 and gangsters are still popular. Then this organization started selling something called 'Happy Stickers'."

As he said that, the other party actually took out something that looked like Durex, but unlike that thing, it didn't have a circle that looked like a circle.

Under Rita's gaze, he continued: "As long as you stick this thing on your arm, they say you will feel unparalleled happiness, the happiness of being able to forget all your troubles, and it is said that it is not addictive. Just farting!"

Whenever he thinks back to his wife's disregard for "Happy Posts", and his son's appearance of stealing money to buy "Happy Posts", he feels angry in his heart.

The money in the family disappeared because of the "happy stickers". Although the cost of each sticker is not a lot, when the purchases increase and I don't have a job, there is really no way to save the whole family. support the economy.

As for the police?

The ghost knows what this 'Happy Sticker' is made of. After being checked, it shows that it does not have any addictive ingredients, so it can be used with confidence.

"Are these people addicts too?"

"Yes, although I don't really want to join forces with them, but I really have nothing to do."

"Then why don't you get a job?"

It was Fu Hua who said this. Although Fu Hua was in the past, he was only a student of Canghai City.

But in the future political system, all human beings are unified and work together to fight against the collapse.

"Do you know who monopolizes the entertainment industry and the service industry now!"

He pointed to the advertisement hanging on a tall building in the distance.

"Namba Heavy Industries, and Homu Entertainment!"

Even if someone can go in, because of the appearance of a large number of employed people, the competition inside is as fierce as raising a gu.

People who were born as workers or soldiers basically don't have any skills that can be used to eat.

Unless you sell yourself and do some dirty work.

Doing these things is better than going to rob, even if you are caught, life in the police station can forget the troubles at home

Namba Heavy Industries and Homo Entertainment are like the big chaebols who rule the country, just like the chaebols who control most of the world's lifelines in the future world in the game, they even have a large number of private soldiers.

Rita came to the leader of the robbery, and took the "Happy Sticker" in his hand. From the outer packaging, she couldn't see anything. Perhaps this was not a problem for Dr. Etherine.

"I probably understand, but if you attack us, you have to be prepared to be beaten or arrested. I will show this 'Happy Post' to the doctor. Maybe she can find some clues, but if this thing It is exactly as described, if there is no addiction, then you need to find the problem from your own family members."

Rita remembers that there are many subsidies in various countries in Europe on weekdays, whether it is retirement subsidies, unemployment subsidies, or even poverty subsidies, the sum of these subsidies is more than enough to support a family.

The existence of this 'happy post' seems to be what breaks these people's peaceful lives.

Rita's indifference and Fu Hua's indifference made the other party feel the beating from society again.

Looking at Rita's retreating back, he took out the last 'happy patch' and stuck it on the back of his neck.

"hahahahahahahahahahaha……"

At this moment, he forgot all his troubles, only happiness remained, and his laughter filled the dark alley, sounding without the slightest negative emotion.

The pain, sadness, and fatigue caused by the daily burdens at home were all swept away with laughter, and even the lame right leg was temporarily forgotten.

Although he smiled very happily, Fu Hua's voice at the end of the alley was particularly harsh.

But she understands that she is always a time traveler, and she cannot interfere with too many things.

And what about Rita?

The way Rita is now is exactly the same as it will be in the future.

It seems that she basically doesn't care about other things except Etherine's affairs.

So what is the problem now, is it the world or yourself?

No.180 Today’s meal at Iselin’s house

"This thing really has no addictive existence. This thing is composed of a battery, a chip, and a little caffeine. The chip will form a weak current to stimulate the nerves and then conduct it to the brain, and then give people a kind of The illusion of happiness, and the caffeine at best only enhances that effect."

Whether it was the power of the Herrscher of Reason or the sonic screwdriver smoke gun, these were the only ingredients that Iselin analyzed.

Of course, after Iselin repeatedly confirmed the ingredients of this 'happy patch', she gave it to Makise Kurisu to use directly.

She was smiling happily at the time, and nothing else happened after it was over.

It's just that Makise Kurisu locked herself in her room.

"Then why do they say that 'happy stickers' are addictive?"

Rita didn't quite understand why it was said to be addictive. At the same time, she looked at the used happy stickers in her hand and recalled the appearance of the man before.

She still heard the laughter in the alley.

"If a person with cancer lives in pain all day long, even if painkillers are not addictive, the patient will still rely on it."

There are indeed many victims brought about by this social transformation.

Addiction is actually a psychological addiction. When living under a huge pressure, if there is such a thing, many people will choose it.

Moreover, it is very likely that there are not only happy stickers on the market, but there may also be painful stickers, cool stickers, and some weird emotional stickers.

The workmanship of these stickers is very simple, but the program is set on the chip, as long as the power is cut off, the whole sticker will be scrapped, the maintenance time is about two hours, and the encryption program is also done.

Well, the retail price online is only [-] gantry coins each, but what you can buy with [-] gantry coins can sustain a meal for a family.

Escape, enjoy, then become more burdened, then escape again.

The infinite cycle magnifies the cowardice of ordinary people almost infinitely. When someone reacts, they find that they are already in the abyss.

"Is it psychologically dependent..."

After Rita learned what Iselin said, she felt a little chilled in her heart. This kind of thing was like a vampire. The capitalists were trying to squeeze every bit of money out of these unemployed workers.

Because this sticker was originally designed for this group of people.

"However, there is an organization that I am very interested in. This Italian gang named 'Passionate' started selling emotional stickers. I am very curious about the boss of that organization."

Rita saw Etherine start to twiddle her temple hair with her fingers, presumably Etherine was up to something again.

"But Dr. Iselin, the more important thing now is to have dinner. Just now you sent Dr. Makise into the room. Do you need me to call her out?"

"Okay, today I'm going to eat pizza with extra cheese!!"

"understand!"

……

The meals that Rita cooks every day are meals for six people.

From preparation to serving, the time spent during the period is shortened as much as possible by time and space fracture.

Of course, the six-person portion is mainly because there are six people in the TARDIS. If there are more people, Rita can make them in time.

If it wasn't for Iserine's order, Rita would even skip her share of the meal, because the maid should not have dinner with the master.

The cheese is melted just right, and the pancakes are just baked and crispy. There are rich ingredients on the surface of the pizza, such as fruits, beef, and seafood. Although it looks like a hodgepodge, it actually tastes like Sixi meatballs, which can be separated or combined. .

It's obviously just a whim, but the dinners made by Rita are really getting better and better!

"Christina~bring a bottle of Dr. Pepper to the great Dr. Etherine~"

The cheese stretched slowly, and Estherine took a slice of pizza and pointed at Makise Kurisu who was eating stuffily.

"Clam? Why did I get it for you!"

"There's pudding next to Dr. Pepper!"

"Well!!"

Totally irresistible!

Makise Kurisu, who likes sweets, especially pudding, was suddenly shaken.

Rita and Future Rita sat side by side, and even the movements of eating were surprisingly consistent.

As for Fu Hua, she seems not very used to eating slowly, because on the battlefield, there is not much time for soldiers to eat.

So, after eating in a hurry, Fu Hua ran to the situational training ground in TARDIS.

Is this justified?

Thinking so, Estherin wiped out the slice of pizza in her hand.

"Dr. Iselin, are you going to take action against the organization 'Enthusiasm' next?"

As if a little brother said to the big brother: "Who will the big brother beat tonight?" Rita's eyes seemed to have a trace of expectation?

Could it be that it's been too long since I took Rita out for a walk, and Rita is starting to feel a little restless?

"Well, Italy~ I'm not in a hurry, after all, Christmas is coming, I think it's okay to go after a good Christmas, because I saw some strange things in the encryption part of the chip posted by Happy , I want to take a look first."

"Huh!? You use it for me when you see something strange!"

Oops!

I didn’t expect Makise Kurisu to come back so soon!

"No, it's just a signaling device. Each signaling device will be activated when a happy sticker is pasted, and part of the brain's electrical signal information will be sent out in the form of quantum communication. I'm just curious about the receiving end of this signal. Whoever!"

"You mean, someone copied my brain signals!?"

"Of course not. Do you think there is anyone in the world who can send signals from inside the TARDIS that I have not authorized? Even if someone can't hide it from me, my Femilis will help me, right? Bar!"

What responded to Iselin was an engine roar from the TARDIS. It could be seen that the TARDIS was in good condition.

It's not a bad feeling either.

"In other words, Dr. Iselin, are you going to track down the signal?"

Rita is eager to try again, um, recently Rita is a bit aggressive.

"No, no, no, Paris is the romantic capital of the world. Now that you're here, you must have a good time. Do you want to come, Rita?"

As the first person to follow Yiselin, even if her original motives were not pure, Yiselin still had to wait a little.

Just like Boss Dan gave Kiryu Zhantu life advice, it might be good to give the tool man some time to relax and take care of himself once in a while.

"Dr. Etherine, I..."

"Okay, I decided to take you away!"

It seems that Brother Jie is so obsessed with being a maid that he has forgotten that he used to be a strong man.

However, when making the decision, Estherine seemed to feel a little bit of arrogance and a little bit of unhappiness?

So, Iselin looked at her assistant.

At this time, the assistant also looked at Iselin.

The two then looked at each other.

"Christina, do you want to become the little follower of the great scientist Iselin?"

No.181 Mental abnormalities

[Welcome to Iselin’s dimensional shop. Although the firearms are good, don’t forget the bullets and professions! 】

"This is actually that Estherine's shop!"

At this moment, a player came to the door of TARDIS.

After seeing a police phone box from the British industrial period, and considering that this is Paris, everyone will notice something unusual.

Of course, this kind of abnormality will not be easily discovered except by players.

At this point, the player opened the tactical eyepiece of his Flaming Moth.

It is said to be a tactical eyepiece, but in fact it is more like the system panel of the game, which includes the full functions of adding points, storing, and stacking armor.

If you want to talk about style, maybe this style is very similar to Borderlands.

Whether it is the combat mechanism, or the swipe and task mechanism.

At this time, the player dialed his friend's communication.
