Fault Utopia

Chapter 494 Three Wins
Inside the room, X continued to explain the past history to Sun Jack.

“Although those who survived by chance were divided into different cities, the unitized environment made people feel very lonely. Even if all kinds of benefits were fully provided, people’s sense of happiness was not high. They would rather immerse themselves in virtual games. Moreover, in this environment, it was impossible to have a large market. The economy began to decline, the market began to stagnate, the currency began to deflate, and the internal circulation of capital almost collapsed.”

"Later, Lan Meng came up with a solution, which was to build another city outside each city. Didn't expect it? In fact, the so-called Holy Grail people you mentioned are the humans who survived the last era. As for the outer city and the metropolis where you used to live, they are meant to serve the survivors."

As he spoke, X rubbed the face of the dog next to him with his foot, and the other dog looked very happy.

"So this is an efficient dumping market that Lan Meng thought of?" Sun Jack said.

"No, it's not just about dumping the market." X shook his head. "More importantly, after the outer city was built, what did you find? After seeing how hard others live, everyone feels happy!"

As he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, the various surveillance camera images of Himalaya Outer City appeared in front of Sun Jack. There were prostitutes on the street, gang fights, and more were those who, in order to survive, became like zombies and became screws in the company that could be replaced at any time.

Looking at them, X picked up the wine glass and took a sip with great satisfaction, "Ah~ Just like Lan Meng said, this is what human beings are like. When you see others sad, you will cherish your own beautiful life more. Without comparison, there will be no sense of superiority."

"What nonsense!" Sun Jack's impression of the FFP boss became worse and worse. It turned out that he was the one who started this abnormal dumping market model with idle capital from the very beginning.

"You don't need to admit it, the market will prove everything. After seeing the success of Blue Dream, all cities followed suit. Guess what the result was? Everyone's happiness index has increased, and all economies have been saved! Hahaha~" X laughed.

Seeing X laughing, the others also started laughing.

"That's not all, is it? You guys are going to use this market to do other things, like directing a revolutionary reality TV series or using it as a stepping stone for you."

Looking at Sun Jack sitting there with a sullen face, X smiled and the smile on his face gradually faded. Layer after layer of protective shields opened, and soon everything in the room was shielded, isolating all signals from the outside.

Then he floated over and sat down next to Sun Jack, asking everyone else to leave.

After everyone left, he approached Sun Jieke and lowered his voice and said, "What I just said to you is that you should not offend Lan Meng's FFP. He is an old man who survived from the last era. Over the past thousand years, his capital has increased to a level you can't imagine. On the earth, his assets are almost the most of any independent individual. You have no chance of winning if you fight against him."

"Do you think you can overthrow the Metropolitan City and have a chance to deal with the other FFP? Don't dream. The power of a city like the Metropolitan City, where all kinds of capital are mixed, is completely different from the power of a city monopolized by a single company."

"Besides the 13 cities he actually controls, his capital has spread to almost all cities like tentacles. It is very likely that some of the companies around you are his subsidiaries."

"I'll just tell you one thing, and you'll know how powerful it is. Do you know Section 3? It's the one that can ignore everyone's existence and fight against the Omnic crisis. Section 3 in all cities was established by an international group like FFP in collaboration with two other large capital groups."

"Do you think your current situation is bad enough? This is just the beginning. The reason you are still alive is only because FFP is still dealing with you in a cost-conscious manner. If one day they don't consider the cost anymore, you won't be able to survive at all!" X seemed to be really thinking about Sun Jie Ke, and explained the whole situation to him very carefully.

Looking at Sun Jieke's profile, X said in a complicated voice: "Sun Jieke, although you made me lose a lot of money, I really don't hate you. Money can be earned again. I have plenty of gold stocks, but interesting souls are hard to find in the world. I really want to make friends with you."

"I really didn't realize that you were so considerate of me, but actually, I have a different opinion on what you said."

Sun Jack turned his head to look at X. "Whether I can win or not is not decided by me or Lan Meng. It is determined by how many people cannot survive."

"You said that you can only feel happy when there are people living worse off than you, and your market economy can only recover when there are people who are barely able to survive."

"But haven't you considered the hidden dangers? If there weren't so many people in the world living a life worse than death, how could I just wave my hand and all kinds of rebels would emerge in all the cities? And how come no matter how many times I put out the fire, there will still be a steady stream of rebels emerging?"

Being so close, Sun Jack could already see X's neural socket.

Hearing Sun Jieke's words, X excitedly slapped Sun Jieke's thigh and said, "Yes, I thought of it, so I came to you!"

"Look, I've thought of a way that we can benefit each other and maximize our profits."

"any solution?"

"The pressure relief valve." X raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "Did you know that in ancient times, some countries would take to the streets to protest against injustice? This is the pressure relief valve."

“Although it’s useless, as long as they march for a few days, their pressure can be obviously released, and then they can do whatever they need to do, so you can become a pressure relief valve for all cities.”

"When the FFP people come, let's make it clear that you will still be the spiritual leader of the resistance army. Don't surrender. Post some videos from time to time to stimulate some troublemakers. It's best to have some personal heroism."

"When the time comes, we will throw some unimportant subsidiaries to them, so that they can vent their anger, and then we will find a way to kill these troublemakers."

"We do this, and from time to time we turn on the pressure relief valve, so that the anger of the lower class can be vented. They feel good and can continue to do what they need to do. We also have fewer concerns, lest there will be another Sun Jack popping up in the future. We feel good, and you can live a very comfortable life just by saying a few words, and you feel good too. How do you think? How about my win-win-win plan?"
