The abnormal daily life of a painter

As for how to allocate personnel within this quota, that is to negotiate between directors in need.

Hearing that one matter was brought up and then quickly resolved, Zheng Yichen felt that this kind of mid-month meeting was quite... easy?

Because there is not so much wrangling.

Chapter 577 is special

"How do you feel?" After the mid-month meeting this time, Caesar asked Zheng Yichen with a smile.

Zheng Yichen talked about his own thoughts: "It feels very efficient, and there are not so many wrangling parts. It makes me feel that I am not coming here for the second time, but I am here often."

He is undoubtedly a newcomer here, but none of the directors present regarded him as a newcomer.

"Hahaha, that's because what you did didn't involve something that needs to be negotiated." Caesar smiled: "For example, in the matter of recreating the dead, you are responsible for drawing those people, and who needs to be recreated , The number is up to Alfred and Bias to consider. Of course, if you think there is something wrong with the people who surfaced, you can also put forward your own opinions.

If there are other directors who need to mobilize some special resources, they will inevitably go to Bias, which also requires some negotiation, and they rarely appear in the mid-month meeting. In the mid-month meeting, they are generally responsible The main thing, if there are no accidents, just write an ordinary report. "

As Caesar said, he flipped through the screen on the table casually: "Looking at this report, there is nothing too important, so it seems very...empty. Of course, the report here does not need to be expressed in one sentence." , I have to use a dozen sentences to explain it.”

"So I'm going to write such a report next time I come here?"

"It's best to write a copy. Even if nothing happens, you can write that nothing happened. After all, you are special among the directors in the old capital. The other directors will treat you very well. Let's talk on the way?"

Zheng Yichen stood up immediately: "Let's go."

The mid-month meeting was not the same as what Zheng Yichen thought. After the main things were over, all the directors here left directly, and nearly half of the directors came with projection equipment.

As soon as the meeting ended, the others left very simply.

On the way out of the meeting room, Zheng Yichen re-examined the street scene here. He hadn't visited the first ring area well yet. As for the high tower in the central ring area, even the directors couldn't enter that place at will, only those who got it. You can only enter after the corresponding permissions.

On the way, Caesar brought the topic back, and said to Zheng Yichen: "Because you are not a director in the old capital, the development affairs will be concentrated outside the old capital, and will not affect other directors in the old capital. , plus your ability, which director does not want to have a good relationship with you?"

"...That is to say, there are actually conflicts among the other directors?"

Caesar shook his head: "It can't be said to be a contradiction, but a kind of competition. Some directors think they can do better, but the directors who are mainly involved in some affairs also think they can do better, you know , the main affairs between each director are like circles, and the centers of these circles do not overlap, but the edges are connected together.

Directors who think they can do better want to expand their circle. "

Caesar briefly described the relationship between the directors, and then he added: "But this kind of competition is healthy competition, and your circle is outside the old capital, so your development will not Too much influence on other directors here in the old capital, unless you want to do that."

"Come on, I'd rather live my nice little life than do that."

Caesar smiled and didn't say anything else. People are different. Zheng Yichen's thinking like this doesn't mean that other directors also have the same thinking. However, it's good to be a special outer circle director with Zheng Yichen's character.

Needless to say, the reason is that if Zheng Yichen really wants to dominate the power, with his ability, hard work and corresponding talent, he can indeed do it.

Even the requirements for talent don't need to be too high, as long as he can employ people.

And Zheng Yichen has the ability to reproduce paintings, will there be a shortage of talents?

There are many talents in ancient times alone, and the existence that is reproduced is no different from that in life.

So as long as Zheng Yichen thinks about it, there is no possibility of him being ostracized.

Therefore, when Zheng Yichen is the director of the outer circle, the other directors will not take the initiative to choose to conflict with Zheng Yichen.

"I was wondering, isn't the council interested in things like the Holy Grail?"

Caesar thought for a while and said: "Of course there is, but things like the Holy Grail can only be made by you, and they are special resources that Bias cannot be responsible for. Therefore, how to use and record things like the Holy Grail needs to be done. Only with your consent."

"Then next month's mid-month meeting, I'll just fill in a report on this thing."

"Are you sure?" Nishizawa was a little surprised. The old capital really wanted to study things like the Holy Grail. After all, that kind of thing can make wishes. Special props, that kind of thing can also provide enough convenience.

"Because as long as you know enough about the Holy Grail, you can know that that kind of thing is really not a panacea, but a special trick, which is very convenient in saving time."

Caesar nodded lightly: "Do you save time? Sometimes time is very precious."

He did not ask at this time how the Holy Grail saves time and what is the relevant mechanism. The reason is very simple. The Holy Grail is Zheng Yichen's personal crop, and how to provide information is his business, and he is not an intelligence officer. Director, communication is fine, but some topics need to draw a line.

Another director might ask, but as the special foreign affairs director of the old capital, he naturally couldn't do such a thing.

"Then wait for the next mid-month meeting. The effect of the ordinary Holy Grail is actually not that good. What's so special about it?" Zheng Yichen looked at the surrounding environment and asked Caesar, who seemed to be fine for the time being.

Caesar asked with a smile: "A special place? What kind are you referring to?"

After staying in the first ring area for a long time, you will find that it is actually quite boring.

"For example... a fun place?"

The fun place, Caesar shook his head helplessly: "There is really no fun place here in the First Ring District, it can be regarded as a 'play' place, probably the fitness area and dining area here, other places are There are some large-scale equipment or places for research, and there are necessary observation platforms. There is a library in the relaxing place, but there are partitions there, and some places can only be passed by the director.”

Caesar explained this information in detail, and he didn't mean to skip it. After all, those places are not secrets. Even if he didn't tell them, Zheng Yichen would gradually understand them after slowly exploring, and then he would know about the First Ring District. Really boring.

Observation platforms that can be seen everywhere, some important laboratories, fitness areas and dining areas are connected together. There are four places in the first ring area, mainly to allow people who work in the corresponding four areas to get to where they want to go faster .

The library is indeed a place to relax, but in the library in the first ring area, more people go there to look up materials, and not many people actually go there to read books.

"So if you want to find a fun place, go to the second and third rings."

"Then I might as well go to the outer city."

Caesar smiled slightly at this: "Although the old capital is closed to the inside, the entertainment development here is not comparable to many people in the outer city."

He didn't say much, after all, he and Zheng Yichen didn't meet more than five times, they knew each other very well, and they didn't know what their hobbies were...painting?That really doesn't have to be a hobby.

"It's okay, I'll come to the library here to have a look, I'll go back first."

Caesar nodded and said goodbye to Zheng Yichen. After Zheng Yichen came to the entrance of the first ring area, he saw Natalie who was still working as a guard here.

"Aren't you going to quit?"

"It was rejected." Natalie knocked on the melon seeds listlessly, and next to her was a garbage can-style robot vacuum that worked hard to clean up the garbage: "I submitted three applications this month, and none of them passed. I can any idea?"

"How about I give you some convenience?"

"Come on, you're not in charge of personnel affairs. I don't want to work part-time for you to pay off your debts..." Natalie waved her hand. She is not a director of the old capital, but she knows some things very well.

She also has a special existence in the old capital. It doesn't matter if she changes jobs normally, as long as the application is passed, she can go there, but if the application is not passed, it is another matter. Zheng Yichen wants to exert his strength?Then negotiate with Bias.

Although she is considered to be under Caesar's command now, her particularity makes it difficult for Bias to get around this matter.

On the other hand, for someone like Shadow Demon Jasmine, if Zheng Yichen wants to transfer the other party, he only needs to find the other party's current boss, and there is no need to go to Bias.

"See you next time then."

Seeing that Natalie was in a bad mood, Zheng Yichen didn't stay here for long, left her a big bag of new melon seeds and left, returned to Ling Ling's residence in the old capital, took out any door and left directly.

After arriving home, he immediately returned to his room and made some records at the desk.

This mid-month meeting was very 'normal', but it also mentioned a lot of things, some of which were mentioned last time, including the way he left the old capital quickly, which involved the transfer of expatriates in the old capital things.

However, this matter is related to the reappearance of the painting. The dead people reappeared in the painting may cause hidden dangers because Zheng Yichen’s accident cannot be renewed. now.

Such people are similar to replicants, which are replicas. Those replicants can go to the outside world or on the outskirts of the old capital to carry out important tasks on the premise that the body stays in the old capital. If something happens, the mental impact may remain, but As long as people are alive, it is good.

There is no real hidden danger in using paintings to reproduce the special personnel who are still alive in the old capital, because the person concerned is alive, even if Zheng Yichen has an accident, there will be no vacancy.

Chapter 578 A Convenient Library

Alfred and Bias have the same attitudes in this regard. Forked people are more useful than reproduced people. The only problem is that the forked people will not increase the health value of the old capital if they stay in the old capital. .

Probably overlapped with the living body.

For this reason, reappearance people are still needed, because some reappearance people's abilities are indeed quite special, and because of this particularity, those people have some thoughts that they shouldn't have, and they are then executed by the old capital.

To live again, under the limited time of reappearance, as long as those people still want to "live" well, then no matter what redundant thoughts they have to hold back.

"The main topic of this mid-month meeting is the reappearers and replicas, and the health situation in the old capital...the people in the old capital really trust me?"

Crushing the paper in his hand, Zheng Yichen stretched his body and walked out of his room. Lingling was not here, and Ravelli also went to Lingling's studio. Everyone else had their own things to do, and the distance between There are still two hours at noon, it is really difficult to meet someone at home at this time...

Bellflower?Kikyo is not here either, she went out early, saying that she wanted to experience the world... Zheng Yichen has no objection to this at all, and Kikyo has not experienced any tragic parting and betrayal.

The reasons for her personality made her look very mature, but her actual age was placed there, and there was nothing incongruous in wearing a school uniform of a female high school student.

"So now I'm alone at home, and I don't seem to be doing my job properly?" After knocking on Hui Ye's door, but no one responded, Zheng Yichen stretched his body, took out any door and returned to the old capital.

"... What's wrong with you?" Natalie looked at Zheng Yichen who had left and returned not long ago, showing a strange expression. She hadn't eaten half of the melon seeds that Zheng Yichen gave her before leaving.

"I'm going to check some information."

"Oh~" Natalie waved her hand and stopped paying attention to Zheng Yichen. When passing the entrance of the first ring area, Zheng Yichen could feel the subtle fluctuations in the air, which are related to the equipment here.

It is a kind of pollution detection equipment, which is very sensitive. If Zheng Yichen has pollution with distortion factors on his body, it is impossible to pass through here even if it is a little bit. The first ring area is a very 'clean' area.

Standing on the moving sidewalk, Zheng Yichen looked at a small projection screen next to him, and quickly found the place he was going to, which could be searched by gesture typing, so the moving sidewalk that Zheng Yichen was riding on began to accelerate, changing continuously. Tao then sent him to the library.

On the road, he also saw a lot of people walking in a hurry, some of them were wearing uniforms, some were just casual clothes, Zheng Yichen's appearance didn't attract much attention.

Here in the library, some people can be seen holding a big bag full of rolled paper tubes.

It seems that people from the entire First Ring District are concentrated here. The library is probably one of the most popular places in the First Ring District, right?

Other places are like automated factories, and people are rarely seen.

Zheng Yichen entered the library, and when he passed the library, relevant scanned information appeared next to him. The entire library was shrouded in high-tech projection technology. This technology is like AR augmented reality here. It is very convenient, if Zheng Yichen wants to find something, there will be an arrow to guide him directly.

Moreover, this kind of projection also has its own anti-spy screen mechanism. When passing by other people, you can see a small projection screen next to them, but the above is blank.

Zheng Yichen looked at this huge library divided into multiple layers, and took the elevator guided by the projection to the place he wanted to go, and then came the special reading mechanism here.

If you don’t want to look for physical books, you can directly browse any books belonging to this area in this area. Those books are displayed in the form of projections, although there is a feeling of looking at the air.

But the projection has a high degree of realism, so it feels like flipping the air when flipping through the book. Other aspects are similar to reading a physical book.

Even Zheng Yichen felt that the sense of experience was not good enough, and wanted to run around again. Looking through the books he wanted on those huge bookshelves, he could go directly to the desk to pick up a "book without words". It can be overlapped with the projection, but there is no text on it, mainly to allow readers to directly experience the feeling of reading a physical book.

Zheng Yichen tried it, and it felt pretty good.

What he is looking at now is the information about 'Yakes', the modern character drawn by Zheng Yichen back then. The other party did a big thing when he opened up the old capital, but he also sacrificed because of it.

The records about the other party in this book are more formal and comprehensive, and this record is not written down in the form of biography, but a very professional resume record, and there are detailed descriptions of the other party's important deeds.

However, the description of this kind of record is the kind that the other party is on a mission and in the military. There is not much about personal life, and there are some certificates that the other party has taken. To see it needs to be 'unlocked'.

Zheng Yichen has the status of a director and can unlock it at will, but others do not have such a status, so if they try to unlock it, they need to apply.

The identity of the director is very convenient here in the library, and I can see most of the materials.

The premise is that he can see it...

Putting down the 'wordless book' in his hand, Zheng Yichen left this area. This is mainly about personnel records. You can't see books in other areas in this place. If you want to read it, you need to go to another area, the library The division of books is a modular division.

Zheng Yichen came to the 'geographical area', he was looking for a suitable place, basically no one could be seen in this area.

The map found from this place is much more comprehensive than the tourist map that Zheng Yichen saw at the beginning.

Tourist maps only have general markings, but the map here is like a super high-resolution picture of hundreds of gigabytes. It is very fine when zoomed out, but after zooming in, you can find a lot of details.

And there is a recent update time on it, the latest is no more than half a month.

This was enough for Zheng Yichen. After he marked several areas, the projection in front of him divided them separately to form several enlarged projection screens, clearly showing the areas he wanted to see.

You can even see pictures related to the moon here, but the update time of relevant records outside the earth is a bit slow. The exploration picture related to the moon that Zheng Yichen saw casually was two years ago.

It feels like 'you don't meddle in extraterrestrial affairs'. It may also be that this world has not carried out much substantive extraterrestrial exploration work in the past two years.

"This place is nice, and this one looks good too. Just these few, print out a map for me." Zheng Yichen said and followed him to operate on the small projection screen, and soon the long screen on the desktop opened up. With a thin mouth, several printed high-definition pictures spit out.

Zheng Yichen looked at the maps on these papers, nodded, rolled them up and put them under his armpits, and left the library in the central ring area.

There are too many information here, so much that he has no idea of ​​staying here now, only those staff who come here to check the information can stay here with relish.

At the same time, he also has a new understanding of this library. You can read books here, and it is also a place related to the "intelligence agency" of the old capital, but many people do not have the corresponding authority. Here, this place can be regarded as an information base.

It's like the information about the person 'Yacs' he tried to read at the beginning, even the other's descendants can see it, so there is no need to conduct follow-up investigations, and you will know everything after reading it once.

This library is probably in sync with some large external databases.

When Zheng Yichen left here with a large scroll in his arms, no one paid attention to him. Who here is not like this?Some people have to get a big bag to carry it because they have too many things to take away. It's easy for people like Zheng Yichen.

"Is the matter over?" Natalie at the entrance of the first ring area glanced at the paper scroll Zheng Yichen was holding: "You... Forget it, you shouldn't do such a shameful thing as reselling information."

She waved, Zheng Yichen is now a director, as long as his mind is normal, it is easy to make money, and such things as reselling information are really not unnecessary, let me tell you, only Zheng Yichen let others sell it to him Information share.

"How desperate would I have to be to do what you said?" Zheng Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you interested in taking a field trip?"

"Oh? Has your director passed this 'resolution'?" Natalie was a little curious. With the addition of God Painter to the council and his ability, the old capital's field arrangements will be relaxed a lot in the future, but this matter Apart from those on the council, very few people know.

Natalie didn't think about talking about it with her big mouth.

"almost."
