From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Charles didn't think much of it, but then he saw Fan Lu walk in from outside and asked, "What have the other two done?"

After quickly familiarizing herself with the work, Lu Jin immediately went to the Lighthouse farm and picked all the ripe apples, cherries, strawberries, and other fruits...

Fanlu clenched his fist.

"Heh, it seems that Lu Jin's personality matches his age; he's still a child."

Charles raised a mocking smile, but seeing that Fan Lu hesitated, he frowned slightly. "What else did he do?"

"He cut down the apple and cherry trees, and uprooted the strawberry plants, saying that the three laws of the lighthouse were established for one goal: survival."

Therefore, fruits can only retain their seeds, in the hope of future...

The vacated land should be planted with wheat, corn, sorghum, and other crops such as rice, in order to greatly increase grain reserves.

Besides vegetables, except for beets, lettuce, and cucumbers, he dug up everything else, such as olive trees and broccoli, saying that these crops had low yields, took up a lot of land, and were not cost-effective. He said he would plant Chinese cabbage, bok choy, white radishes, etc., and that he had the corresponding crop seeds on hand.

The Vinaya Pitaka dared not conceal the truth.

Upon hearing this, Charles trembled, but he patiently asked again, "What about the ranch?"

"He slaughtered all the beef cattle, leaving only the dairy cows!"

Fan Lu's eyes trembled, and he almost shouted, "But he took out a box of eggs that I had only seen in books, saying that they could hatch into chicks. Once they grow up, the chickens will lay eggs, and the eggs will hatch into more chickens, and so on. If they can be raised well, maybe everyone can have eggs to eat within three years."

Charles stood there, stunned.

He thought Zhang Zhiwei was the most flamboyant of the three, but he never expected that Lu Jin was the most arrogant one!

Zhang Zhiwei at least managed to win over the hearts of those cowardly, despicable, and ignorant commoners, but what about Lu Jin?

They actually targeted farms and ranches directly, and their efficiency was incredibly high. In such a short period of time, before it even got dark, they had cut down all the apple trees on the farms and slaughtered all the beef cattle on the ranches!

This effectively eliminates the possibility that the city lord could secretly order someone to sabotage the cultivation of the new crops and livestock breeds he had proposed!

Given the magnitude of the losses, things might be manageable in the short term, but without sufficient supplies of food, vegetables, and meat over a prolonged period, the lighthouse will face a food shortage crisis.

He is no longer the head of the Light and Shadow Society, but the lord of the Lighthouse. He needs to consider the future of the entire Lighthouse! The future under his leadership!

If the new grain and vegetable varieties that Lu Jin mentioned, as well as the poultry called "chicken," have very high yields, then Lu Jin deserves some credit for this achievement!

Thinking of this.

Charles closed his eyes, and only after Fan Lu gently called out "Lord of the City" did he say, "Never mind him, what about the other woman?"

"She was quite well-behaved. Captain Seng only introduced her to the city defense army's usual training programs and assigned her the hundred reservists," Fanlu told the truth.

"idiot!"

But Charles was furious.

At that time, he deliberately reminded Sengge not to be foolish enough to give only half of the main force of the city defense army to that woman, but to select fifty people and then draw fifty more from the reserves, for a total of one hundred people.

In this way...

With official team members involved, Red Girl has no chance of winning over the hearts of the remaining fifty reservists!

Charles didn't care about Zhang Zhiwei's efforts to win over the hearts of the common people, because he believed that as long as he offered more benefits, the common people would inevitably side with him.

But Sengge, on the other hand, was just as stupid as Mark, and actually assigned all one hundred reserves to Red Girl—

What is this going to do?

Those are the lifeblood of the lighthouse!

Can't Sengge see a future?

No wonder my father never gave this guy a proper position!

It's also his fault for having no one else available at the moment...

"Lord of the City, shall I go find Seng now!"

Vatican was unaware of the seriousness of the matter, but Vatican understood it and immediately stood up, hoping that Charles would order her to go find Red Girl.

"It's too late."

Charles took a deep breath.

The power of Hong Guniang, Zhang Zhiwei, and Lu Jin was personally granted by him, making them "second only to him." Unless he personally went to see Hong Guniang, they could completely ignore him, or, like Zhang Zhiwei, "lead by example" and forcefully accept his authority.

But then again, even though he's now the city lord, he still has to personally talk to his subordinates as usual...

Then wouldn't he have been the city lord for nothing?

But his current predicament has also fueled his desire for power, drawing more attention to the Abyss Keeper Project...

# Chapter 1146 The Change in 4277

That night.

Having already learned about the overall training situation of the city defense army, Hong Guniang returned to the pigeon coop. Just as she was thinking about the training arrangements for tomorrow, she heard light footsteps outside the door.

"No need to sneak around outside, come in."

The door opened.

4277 walked in cautiously.

"It's you. Please sit down."

Hong Guniang brought her a chair and brewed a pot of tea. "Why are you here so late at night instead of sleeping? Is there something you need?"

“I didn’t see Zhang Zhiwei’s commotion on the elevator platform with my own eyes, but I heard about it from other Dust People… Do you really want to change the order of the Lighthouse?”

4277 took a deep breath, his eyes gradually hardening, "I want to join."

however.

Hong Guniang didn't respond, but stared at 4277 for a long time before smiling and asking, "Did you have a fight with your friend?"

"No...no!"

4277 panicked, but seeing the half-smile on Red Girl's face, he knew he couldn't hide it, so he could only nod and ask, "Do you know when a person changes?"

"Humans and the environment influence each other. Those who have the ability and ambition will try to change the environment, but most of the time, most people can only be changed by the environment."

Red Girl did not answer directly, only because she knew who had a conflict with 4277: "You are a commoner, while Shadow is a superior."

Although he was once a commoner, he is now an upper-class citizen. Even though his genes still belong to the 'commoner' category, it cannot change his current status as an 'upper-class citizen' or the environment he comes into contact with.

You are a smart girl. Put yourself in their shoes. There are small groups among ordinary people, let alone the upper class.

Most of them look down on the common people, and when they get angry, they will directly hit you, and the Light and Shadow Society will turn a blind eye.

Now, 4068 is a commoner with the status of an upper-class citizen. This is the first time since the three laws were announced and implemented... What price do you think he paid?

Whether he is willing to pay this price or not, it will not be in vain. He will seize every opportunity to integrate into the upper class, and the longer he remains an upper class member, the further he will be from you and from 4079.

It's not a physical distance, but a psychological gap caused by different ways of thinking.

If you want to remain friends with him, either you go along with him, or he goes along with you... But obviously, in the current environment of the Lighthouse, if he goes along with you, then the other citizens won't just be gossiping about his commoner origins behind his back.

Although 4277 was impulsive, he wasn't stupid, and since Red Girl had made her point clearly, he fell silent.

half an hour.

She looked up and asked, "What was the old world like?"

Why would you think I know?

Red Girl, however, revealed a smile.

“You…your behavior and way of doing things…are very bold, as if you are not afraid of anything.” 4277 looked directly into the eyes of the girl in red and boldly expressed his thoughts.

“You do indeed have the potential for wisdom.”

The girl in red laughed heartily, “The old world also had its share of commoners and superiors.”

"Really?"

"Really, but—"

The girl in red changed the subject, "There is no clear division between 'dust people' and 'upper people,' and we don't look at genes, only abilities."

The capable rise, the mediocre fall.

The only problem is that most people who become 'upper-class citizens' also want their children to become 'upper-class citizens'.

4277 asked in confusion: "Isn't it only about ability?"

"Yes, but you can cheat during the ability assessment process, young lady."

Hong Guniang said with a smile, "Therefore, under the rule of 'the capable rise and the mediocre fall,' we need to constantly add one monitoring system and management rule after another. It's almost a road with no end in sight, and we need to keep filling in the gaps."

in contrast.

A system like the Lighthouse, which is purely based on genetics, is much better. Once you differentiate between the common people and the upper class at the genetic level, you don't need to worry about all sorts of other issues.

"But this is too unfair to the capable people among the mortals! I know mechanical manufacturing and mechanical repair! I often take on mechanical repair tasks from the research department. As for heavy machinery... I haven't studied those blueprints and such, and I can't understand them, but if you put a broken heavy machinery in front of me, and give me enough tools and replacement parts, I can repair it!"

4277 complained.

"So, you yearn for a world where the capable rise and the mediocre fall?" the girl in red asked.

"Yes."

4277 nodded vigorously, "I want to join you!"

"Although your motives are impure, I also have my own little schemes, and I do need someone's help right now."

Suddenly, the girl in red lifted 4277's chin, looked her up and down, making her blush, before saying, "Now, give yourself a name."

"A name? That's something only the upper class can have. I'm just a commoner." 4277 lacked confidence.

“In the old world, ‘Dust People’ also had names.”

The girl in red said with a smile, "The people of the lighthouse may not acknowledge it, but it is enough that you acknowledge it, I acknowledge it, and my friends acknowledge it."

Gazing at the smiling girl in red, 4277 felt his heart inexplicably quicken, sensing that he was about to be reborn...

"4277! 4277!"
