Alien world

Chapter 1465 99. Dream of Freedom

It seems that Bean's luck has improved since he picked up the two little guys, Jack and Rose.

First, he had the opportunity to work in Liberty City, then he was able to talk to Lord Annan, and now Finance Minister Ingrid had taken a liking to him and asked him to come over.

The two little ones are also like this. Jack became the follower of Lord Annan's daughter, and Ruth also has a bright future.

Everything is getting better...

At this time, he got an interview with the "real Ruth", Evelyn.

"Interview me? What's there for me to interview..." Bean was a little flattered.

"Ruth was taken in by the people of Liberty City from a little homeless person. After not much training, she almost broke into the top 100 of "All People's Singer" with her talent. Isn't this legendary?"

After hearing what Evelyn said, Jack also felt that it was indeed amazing.

But for the same reason as he rejected Ingrid, Bean is busy touring today.

"No rush, I'm free from today until this Sunday!"

"I will bring Ruth to you tonight."

"we have a deal."

After watching Evelyn walk away, Bean returned home with feelings and expectations for the future.

He didn't sleep much that night, not because of the creaking of the bed caused by the two little ones turning over, but because he was thinking about how to answer tomorrow's interview.

Early the next morning, Bean took Ruth out on tour.

What was different from yesterday was that wherever they went, people recognized Ruth and took the initiative to recommend her to other residents, attracting crowds wherever they went.

Bean has a feeling that there will be more tickets today than yesterday.

But he has no confidence at all whether he can make it into the top 100.

The vote gap is 200,000, and unless the entire Liberty City votes for Ruth, it will be difficult to squeeze in.

In the evening, feeling that it was about time, Bean went home to pick up Jack, and then went to the newspaper office with the two little ones.

Evelyn, who was waiting for them in the lounge, prepared some pastries for Ruth.

"Thank you, sister," Ruth said politely as Bean had taught her.

"Your name is Ruth, right? My name is Ruth too."

"Wow~"

Bean patted the head of the exclaiming little Ruth and explained, "I haven't taken them to see "The Fall of the Mage Tower" yet."

"No wonder..."

Evelyn said it was no wonder that Ruth didn't scream when she saw her.

"Let's start the interview. Let's start with how you and Ruth met?"

Bean wants to start from earlier -

When he was in Breeze City, he was just an ordinary resident, living a peaceful life. He would probably get married, have children, and live an ordinary life.

But the arrival of the ratmen changed everything. They thought they would die in the stomachs of rats, but Lord Annan and Lord Olmedo did not give up on any of them and sent them to Middle-earth for refuge.

These people from Breeze City were ostracized because they competed with the locals for resources, and their lives were only slightly better than those of refugees.

Fortunately, the first thing to do after the establishment of Liberty City was to bring them back.

In Liberty City, commoners can also learn, and there are no nobles who run rampant and oppress commoners. Although there is endless work to do, Bean does not feel tired in his heart, because he believes that he is a Liberty City citizen and has participated in the history of Liberty City's rise.

Jack and Rose are also beneficiaries of Liberty City: because Bean has been caught in the rain, he also has to hold an umbrella for the children.

"You're all lucky," Evelyn said.

"It's not luck, but some kind of power that really exists and helps people realize their dreams." Bean said seriously what he had been thinking about all night.

He was a commoner, but he was able to study and become an official in Liberty City.

Jack and Rose are just orphans in Conch City, who make a living by picking up garbage in the swamp every day. Their fate is either to be seriously ill or to be swallowed by the swamp one day.

And everyone and every race participating in the competition, they can stand on the stage and radiate their own light, isn't it the embodiment of this power? In his opinion, everyone who is closely related to Liberty City has a bright future.

"I would like to call this power...the dream of freedom."

Evelyn closed the Philosopher's Stone and praised, "Great! It's hard to imagine that you're a newcomer. Are you interested in working at my newspaper?"

Following Ingrid, Evelyn also extended an invitation.

Bean said embarrassedly that he had promised Ingrid yesterday to report on his work.

"That's okay. You can do a lot more at the Treasury Department."

Evelyn sent them to the door of the newspaper office and waved goodbye to Ruth: "Little Ruth, I look forward to your performance on the stage."

"Thank you, Big Sister Ruth."

Bean first sent Jack and Rose home, and then went to the boat hotel alone.

On the way, he also saw many contestants following suit and performing their shows at intersections.

Bean felt a little regretful. The voting would end tomorrow, and even if Miss Evelyn published the news, it would not be converted into votes.

But if Ruth can make it to the promotion round, this report will be useful again.

When they got on board the ship hotel, the staff saw him from a distance and called out to Binn to come over.

"Good news?" Bean took a deep breath.

The smiling staff said, "Congratulations, Ruth is number 100!"

"Great!"

Bean looked at the list and saw Ruth at the 100th place with 595 million votes.

"How many hours left until the deadline?"

"Less than four hours."

Binn calmed himself down. The voting had not yet ended and there was still a chance of overtaking...

He didn't go back, but stayed on the deck and watched the changes in the number of votes in real time.

The competition among the contestants was fierce and the rankings were constantly changing, but Ruth's votes increased faster, with thousands of votes added almost every ten minutes.

Not only did he not fall out of the 100th place, but he steadily improved and even reached the 99th place.

There were many other contestants on the deck who were also paying attention to their votes. Bean saw a silver-haired girl who looked like a silver dragon, took a look and left.

At midnight, the staff came to update the number of tickets for the last trip.

Bean kept a close eye on Ruth's name, which remained unchanged and stable at 99th place.

Bean pumped his fist vigorously, his face flushed with excitement.

They created a miracle!

……

"Freedom dream? I like that idea."

After reading the article drafted by Evelyn, Annan's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, I also think we can do something with this, for example..."

"For example, tell the world that Liberty City is a dream place where they can freely realize their dreams," Annan continued.

Evelin nodded and said tacitly, “With “All People’s Singer” as the foundation, our report will be convincing, and then we will be able to attract talents from the entire Allen continent!”

"We can still—"

Annan's words were suddenly interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps, and Luo Xi rushed into the lounge with sweat on his face.

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Rat tide... Rat tide is coming!!!"
