Overturned Tower

Early the next morning, Russell took Amirus's float car and headed to Tian'en Group in the city center.

The good weather only lasted for one day.

It was only seven o'clock in the morning, and the sky was already dark and overcast.

It's mid-May now, not long after Russell's birthday, but the weather is still not getting warmer.

The cold, damp wind blowing outside the window rolled up the young leaves, bringing a warning of heavy rain.

[At 8:10 a.m. on May 18, rainfall warning for Luopan District and Tianen District]

[It has been detected that you are in Tianen District. There will be moderate to heavy rain within an hour at your current location. Please take shelter in advance and be careful of catching cold]

When the float vehicle gradually stopped and began to descend, two lines of prompts appeared in front of Russell's eyes.

This information comes from a special institution called the "Annealing Nerve Center" affiliated with the Hudson Marine Mining Company.

It is built on every empty island, inside the head office and branches of Hudson Marine Mining. The specific equipment is a trade secret, and other companies, even if they are also members of the Seven Giants, have no right to interfere.

It continuously analyzes and calculates many data every day to accurately predict natural phenomena such as rainfall, typhoons, and abnormal waves.

The analyzed data will be delivered to each terminal as soon as possible.

"Please also thank Lord Amirus for me."

Russell stood outside the car and bowed politely to the driver, who had only leopard ears and no signs of spiritual connection.

——If it is Sogo Island, the driver of the floating car can only be AI.

But in Happy Island, jobs are a very important data indicator - everyone who holds a chip must have the possibility of having at least three jobs. If you lose your job, you can immediately move to the lower option; or if you are well prepared, you can jump to the upper option.

All jobs that can be done without the use of AI or automation must be done by real people as much as possible... For example, drivers, waiters, couriers, etc. are "backward occupations" that have long been replaced by artificial intelligence in other islands.

Tianen Group uses this method to create as many meaningless jobs as possible. Even if social efficiency will be reduced a lot and the error rate and failure rate will be greatly increased, they seem to have no intention of changing this strategy.

"Please take care of yourself, sir."

The driver also made a hoarse and magnetic voice and raised the door again.

After watching the float vehicle take off and go away, Russell turned around and looked at the park behind him.

This is the headquarters of Tianen Group.

This entire park alone occupies half of the "Tian'en District", and the rest is the surrounding residential buildings and business districts. Russell couldn't even imagine how high the housing prices in Tian'en District were...

"Tianen Group" is not just a high-rise building or a building, but an entire park. It’s not just the construction area – the area alone reaches 16 million square meters, accommodating 100,000 direct employees working in different branches of Tianen Group. The park even has built-in overpasses, highways and airports.

There are artificial lakes, artificial rivers and artificial waterfalls. There is a closed-loop sky train that is constantly running in the park, and the lift is done by a cable car... There are also cruise ships that travel along the river like buses.

In the middle of the entire park is an extremely huge statue of Russell that can be seen from the entrance of the park.

It's not a stone statue, but a statue with color and almost real texture.

It was a female elf with a slender figure and a delicate and beautiful face. She wore a floor-length white dress, and her wavy platinum hair was like a cape, hanging down to the skirt.

She smiled like a mother, and held a crystal ball in front of her chest that glowed pink and looked like the sun.

The ball is suspended between the hands. From any angle, you can see a darker cartoon heart in the center of the crystal ball, which is also the symbol of Tianen Group. The strange thing is that Russell can clearly see the crystal ball emitting pink light from the entrance of the park, but the light of the crystal ball does not dye the statue or surrounding buildings pink.

This god-like elf woman is Sai Lun, the chairman of Tianen Group. He is also one of the "eighty-four people", and in terms of status, he is a higher level than Amirus.

Russell stood at the entrance of the park and hesitated for a while.

He decided to take a look at the map at the door.

The effect of yesterday's interview seemed to be better than he imagined. After Russell got out of the car, he clearly felt that almost everyone's eyes would pass by him.

They were very polite. They just stared at Russell or secretly took two photos of themselves. They did not rush up to ask to be added as friends or ask for photos... If they were to be like those people last night, almost everyone would have to face each other when they met. After talking to himself for a few words, Russell would faint.

——He really can’t be considered a social phobia, but the rate of turning around is too high.

After studying the map for a while, he took the No. 3 Skytrain and followed his uncle's guidance to Area 1 where the Executive Department Building was located.

Perhaps because of his fame, or perhaps because he looks cute and harmless, as soon as he got on the bus, people kept greeting him enthusiastically and pulling him over to give up his seat. Finally, he was pulled to the last row, stuck between two big sisters with horns and horse ears.

In order to avoid touching the body of the person next to him, or making the person around him think that he needs more space and step aside, Russell can only be forced to sit upright, legs together, and try to occupy as little space as possible.

This made Russell even more tired. It even reminded him of his experience of squeezing into the subway during the morning rush hour.

But luckily it doesn't have to last long.

After Russell got off the Skytrain, the flow of people around him significantly decreased, and the atmosphere also changed and became completely different.

If we say that when we first entered the park, we were filled with a sense of joy and relaxation mixed with gold and pink...

Then the environment in area 1 is like a gray and black filter.

It reminds me of attending someone's funeral in a drizzle of rain...that feeling.

Russell looked around and walked towards the executive department building.

Suddenly, he felt a shadow cast in front of him.

"—Mr. Russell?"

A voice sounded like this.

Russell looked up.

It was a man that Russell had never noticed before, but he appeared in front of him like a shadow without any warning.

The man looked to be about thirty years old, and he was close to 1.8 meters tall not counting the tall antlers on his head.

He was wearing a dark black slim-fitting windbreaker, and his long pale blond hair was spread behind him. He has an upright posture and a killer-like temperament. The antlers on his head are in the shape of a sika deer, and his slightly pointed ears will remind people who meet him for the first time of an elf.

His expression was cold, and his fatigue could be seen through the visible dark circles under his eyes and his pale face.

"Confirm, Mr. Russell..."

There was no trace of flattery, flattery or admiration in the young man's cold voice. Instead, it was full of vigilance and scrutiny: "The new hero, the famous celebrity who became famous yesterday...right?"

"……it's me."

Russell nodded slightly.

He didn't make hypocritical excuses like "I don't think I'm a hero."

On the contrary, it will make people feel pretentious and annoying.

"Director Dodgson asked me to pick you up for your employment physical."

The young man with antlers bowed to Russell in a respectful and distant manner, and said flatly: "Please follow me."

Although it was under the order of the director, and although the person who came to receive him was a "hero" who was admired by people, the young man's back was so straight. It was as if nothing could shake his will.

"Excuse me...what do you call me?"

"The inferior."

The young man with antlers replied briefly: "You should also have a code name of your own, Mr. Russell. Life and work should be separated."

"Ah, I've thought about that too..."

In front of the inferior aura, Russell subconsciously showed a harmless and innocent smile: "It's just that I haven't decided yet what kind of code name to give. After all, if nothing else happens, this code name will last a lifetime."

"Then you can think about it slowly."

The inferior ones walk in front without looking back.

His voice, which was reminiscent of snow, cold and pale, reached Russell's ears clearly:

"My working time in the group will be very, very long, maybe even for the second half of my life... maybe even for the next life."
