Overturned Tower

"Obviously, there is no such function here. When I used to take a bath, I always went to the public bath."

Russell said lazily, got up and put on his coat: "Why, do you want to go together?"

"...Forget it then."

Delphinium scolded the puppy bitterly and shook her head again and again.

Because on the surface this trip came in the name of "official business", they were wearing the black uniforms of the Special Executive Department of Tianen Group.But Russell, who has been promoted, is no longer wearing the uniform of the functional short windbreaker when he joined Tianen Group.

It was the solemn and majestic long trench coat with a stand-up collar that the inferiors wore before, and the department badge of the executive department of Tianen Group was embroidered with golden silk thread on the right chest.Inside is a light and breathable black turtleneck thin sweater.

This specially treated sweater is not just a simple piece of clothing - the brand name "Great Master" is the world's most luxurious clothing leather card, and it has a built-in chip and a special interface.In fact, it is a bit similar to Thoth's psychic "battle suit", but the style looks more ordinary, and the core technology is pure material technology, not the product of psychic technology.

Through a direct link with the prosthetic hand on Russell's left arm, it can link to the local "annealed nerve center", receive the most detailed and timely local temperature information in real time, and intelligently and flexibly adjust the user's body temperature.

It continuously cools down when the ambient temperature is too high, and automatically keeps warm when the temperature is low.It can also ensure that the skin will not be too dry, and can absorb and evaporate sweat in the first place. It also has strong resistance to cutting and slashing, and is bulletproof enough to resist pistol bullets.

This is a special technique from Tongshen Island.When it comes into contact with an attack whose speed exceeds a certain threshold, a special fiber inside it will immediately disperse the contacted kinetic energy to the whole body as much as possible.And these energies don't have to be released to the "inside", but half can be released to the outside at the same time, and thus try to keep its own structure from being easily destroyed.

In a sense, as long as the instantaneous kinetic energy is not enough to destroy this special fiber, it can almost halve the impact of any attack on the upper body, and then distribute it to the entire upper body.

In Happy Island, this is a special uniform issued only by the executives of the Tianen Group.Individuals cannot order from Shenzhi Heavy Industry... The minimum order is [-] pieces at a time, and the patterns, decorations and logos on them are all added according to the opinions of Party A.

It sounds like a thousand pieces is very little, but it is only half the price of a floating car.This is still the wholesale price from Shenzhi Heavy Industry.

As a benefit for company executives, Russell and Delphinium can receive a set at the end of each year.

Delphinium actually has several sets...but she only wears them as a warm bottoming shirt in winter.And the others have already been given to parents as gifts by delphinium.

As for the rest of the time, she doesn't wear that kind of thing.

On the one hand, the reason is that the style is too old-fashioned and it is not easy to match clothes.And one of its special features will make it look too emphatic on the figure, which will make delphinium feel a little ashamed, so she usually doesn't wear it.

From the outside, it looks like a plain black tight sweater.As the executive uniform distributed by Tianen Group, it uses sky blue dots and lines, respectively on the front of the left chest, left arm, right shoulder, and right back, and there are four patterns representing "LOVE". Ernesto.In the eyes of outsiders, this is just a weird decoration of dots and lines.

And it will adjust the size by itself by recording the user's figure.For the delphinium, it will hold its breast directly up.

Coupled with the fact that delphinium's usual sitting posture is quite elegant and upright, this will make her breasts look bigger out of thin air.You know, she wasn't average at all... It's just that under the influence of the "self-reform trend" in which every person in Happy Island has implanted some prosthetic bodies, her pure and original figure will appear "relatively ordinary".

But in fact, the delphinium's figure is already considered very good.

In a word, if she wears a low-cut shirt, you can see that she has a groove.

Although many people's first impression is that girls with small breasts are envious of big breasts... But in fact, not everyone is like this, and in most cases, the situation may even be the opposite.

Because if the chest is too big, not only the shoulders and back are prone to soreness, and the movement range is too large, there will be discomfort, but it is especially easy to attract the attention of others.Unless you are a particularly extroverted type who likes to show off.Most girls feel shy because of this.

Moreover, when many clothes are worn, the smell will look very strange.

Loose clothes will make you look fat.And if it is too self-cultivating, you will feel as if you are deliberately emphasizing your figure, and you will appear "very bitch".

And when wearing neutral or emphasizing handsome clothes, it will not feel free and easy.The shoulders that might look like a knife will appear rounded due to a slight forward lean, and the sense of order constructed by the different straight lines in the clothing will also be destroyed by the curve of the chest.

In particular, delphiniums are the type that especially don't want others to stare at them.

Or...it was because of her extraordinary beauty that she developed such a habit.It is because she was always stared at and praised by others when she was young, and she was introverted. Not only would she not feel happy or proud when she was praised, but she would feel a little embarrassed and embarrassing. How to respond politely.

So, when she grows up, she tries to stay away from society as much as possible.

After getting along intimately for a long time, Russell discovered that delphinium had a special habit: she especially liked to wear short skirts and stockings on weekdays, almost always in this way regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.And in summer, she would also wear short shirts that were cut to half the length by herself...not to mention the executive uniform that she changed into a waistless one.

However, the delphinium's chest is always covered tightly.

In places like Happy Island, where the clothing trend is particularly open, tops in the northern and southern hemispheres or tops that reveal the side can be said to be everywhere on the street.Even three-centimeter skirts or clothes that are as revealing as a bikini can often be seen. Occasionally at night, body-painting-level contestants will be seen broadcasting live broadcasts in front of the public in the square.

In this respect, the delphinium's habits are undeniably bizarre.She showed her waist and legs, but she didn't show her breasts; not only that, she even wore heavy tops to cover her figure.

Delphinium was even more shy when Russell unbuttoned her blouse than when she took off her skirt.

... It was only after realizing this incident that Russell could deeply understand what kind of mood she was in when she took off and threw away her coat in Chairman Sai Lun's office.

When I went to Sogo Island this time, considering that the customs of Sogo Island are different from those of Happy Island, Delphinium specially chose her most solemn and high-occlusion clothing.When she stood with Russell, she could see that there was not an inch of skin exposed between the two except for their faces and hands.But because of this, she still put on her own set of "masters" to help cool down and perspire.

…So, whenever Delphinium stands up straight, she subconsciously bends down slightly to hide her figure a little.

She was so shy just wearing tight and heavy clothes.

——I have to go to the public bath to take a bath, so how can she accept it?

"There's nothing to be afraid of," Russell smiled triumphantly, "I know a lot of people!

"Although Sogo Island is not like Happy Island, there are so many kinds of bathing facilities. But it is not completely absent.

"When I came back yesterday, I had already notified many friends from the past... It just so happened that it was night.

"Didn't you tell me to get up and eat something, and adjust my schedule by the way?

"I know a good place...to go to one of my friend's shops, it's absolutely safe. She has food and a place to shower. And it can be very private, just the two of us, and you don't have to Scared."

"……she?"

Delphinium was sensitive to the most crucial word: "Is it a girl?"

"Ah, yes. She was a junior in the same club I was in high school, but she didn't go to college in the end, so she went back to inherit the family's business."

Russell sighed: "If I hadn't entered the Special Operations Department, maybe my income would not be as good as hers..."

"What is her family's business?"

Delphinium felt a little wary in her heart: "How do you know her income?"

Russell easily sensed the uneasiness of the white-haired puppy.

So he reached out, stroked her long silver hair, massaged her ears, explained, and comforted Delphinium: "Because the store opened by her family has an innate The correctness. Even the Sogo Group and the Three Sages will protect her family's business."

"...What kind of business is it that can be so terrible?"

"Love hotels," Russell replied, "islandwide chain."

"……what?"

Delphinium thought for a moment that she had heard wrong.

Chapter 30 A night brighter than day

Although when delphinium first heard the shocking news, she couldn't adapt for a while...

The "love hotel" industry can be regarded as a "protection industry" and "monopoly industry" in Sogo Island-you know, in Happy Island, you can't wait for eight hotels in one street.

And in places like the bridge area and the giant screen area, the number will only be more.Open one across from a prominent bar, one downstairs from the movie theater, one next to the bunny shop, one upstairs from the bathing center... The Hive Nightclub is an example, half of the rooms in that building have beds.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.

Sogo Island is the sky island with the lowest birth rate among the seven sky islands, and the love hotel industry is indeed protected by the head office.After all, there is no telling which couple of lovers will eventually become husband and wife... Young people are always more likely to fall in love than social people.Once you become an old oily person, it is difficult to talk about forever and two sides staying together.

"...But according to the customs of your Sogo Island, won't it be a loss for them to open a love hotel?"

Walking side by side with Russell on the road, Delphinium couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Russell put on cool sunglasses after a long absence, and stood on the outer side of the road with his hands in his pockets.Delphinium's left hand was also put into Russell's right pocket, and he clasped his fingers.

This pose is easy to stick together, and it is very convenient for them to have some whispers.

"It will be a loss, of course it will be a loss."

Russell replied: "Even if their family opened a love hotel next to high schools and colleges, they would definitely lose money. As far as I know, their rooms have never been fully occupied.

"Although there are young couples who are in love, but if they can be admitted to university, everyone still hopes to study hard. Not everyone wants to hand over their lives to artificial intelligence... especially if they don't understand their own talents. Everyone was full of enthusiasm when they were students with extreme expectations and high expectations for their future."

"In that case..."

Delphinium was a little puzzled: "Shouldn't she be losing money all the time?"

"That's right. Sogo Island and Happy Island have slightly different basic rules..."

Russell patiently explained for Delphinium.

To put it simply, most of the underlying industries in Chongguang Island have been contracted by artificial intelligence headed by the Three Sages.And there is another problem here, that is, the three sages are nominally subordinate to the Sogo Group.

——In other words, these industries are all monopolized by Sogo Group.

Of course, it also includes industries such as materials, construction, and property management.And those who want to do some small business, whether they want to rent or buy the store, their final money will flow to Sogo Group.

Among the seven giants, only "Sogo Group" and "Tianen Group" do not have particularly specific main projects.Because the two giants have penetrated into all walks of life, forming a comprehensive suppression in multiple business fields.

As a "giant", Sogo Group is the real manager of Sogo Island.Other companies can sit back and watch, but they are the only ones who have to worry about the birth rate of Sogo Island... because these populations are their future consumers and their property.

"...So, when their family decides to build a love hotel, they can apply for reimbursement from the Sogo Group for part of the reconstruction costs, as well as renting an engineering team at a cheap price.

"So, in the name of 'strengthening the attractiveness of the love hotel', their family built a movie theater, a cafeteria, an indoor amusement park, and reserved space for a shopping mall. And this site happened to be near the school...

"The agglomeration effect of the business district cannot be ignored. Compared with working silently on a certain street from scratch, it is better to directly settle in their shopping mall. Even if the rent will be a lot more expensive, but after the flow of people increases, the income will increase." It will only be high or low.

"Of course, their family has prepared the best love hotel, and all the supporting facilities are top-notch. Of course, it is still incomparable with Happy Island and Tongshen Island... However, in Sogo Island, this is the top supporting facilities.

"However, their family does not rely on 'couples' to pay back their capital. Instead, they live by collecting rent from those other businesses."

"Isn't this prostitution of the Sogo Group's labor force?"

Delphinium felt a little incomprehensible for a moment: "Won't this be considered a fraud?"

"If they were on Happy Island, they would most likely be sanctioned. Either they would spit out their equity and management rights, or they would have to be skinned by Tianen Group. In short, it is impossible to prostitute a 'giant' for free. Yes. The company will definitely punish them as a warning to others.”

Russell shrugged: "But it's different on Sogo Island.

"Don't forget, the three sages are not real human beings. They don't care about face, they don't only focus on their original purpose, and they don't care about immediate interests.

"It is true that the company has been prostituted for nothing, but they are not losing money. Because as long as people are consuming, no matter who the money is for, it will eventually flow within Sogo Island. Enabling the market itself is a lifeless A kind of activation of Sogo Island—even if their family can’t provide enough population, they still revitalize Sogo Island’s economy from another angle.”

...Can it still be like this?

Delphinium was stunned: "Then no one followed suit?"

"of course not."

Russell said meaningfully: "Because the next thing to do this business is to praise the doctors. Except for their storefronts, other 'squares' of this type on Sogo Island are controlled by Sogo Group itself After many plans are optimized by artificial intelligence, whether it is user experience, density, charging standards or even management, it becomes more scientific, more reasonable and more advantageous.

"As a pioneering enterprise, their family fell into a disadvantage in all aspects. Rather, they didn't take back the right to manage this 'brand'. It was the three sages and Dr. Zanbai who proposed this idea to her father' Rewards' away.

"...However, her father is a sensible person and can balance his mentality. He knows that he took off by speculation at the beginning, and understands how much he has. So even if the limelight is completely taken away by the Sogo Group , his income has been squeezed by the market to one-third of the peak period...but this is enough to keep their family running stably."

"He's a smart guy."

"That is, after all, he is also an outstanding graduate of Sogo Group. He almost became Dr. Zan Bai."

As he said that, Russell led the delphinium to the front of a huge building with more than eighty floors and resplendent in gold.

Delphinium just looked up, and suddenly felt scalp tingling.

She found that she couldn't bear the unique aesthetic of this Sogo Island style——

The building looks like a snake standing upright.It's just that each snake scale is shining with a dark golden light under the light of night... Those are huge floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside at all.But you can see the outside from the inside.

It can be seen flickering from afar.Like a diamond with many facets, it can be seen to sparkle from any angle.

Just on their side, there are four entrances, and the flow of people is surging.

The buildings inside are almost all pale gold.Whether it is the ground, the ceiling or the walls, they are all made of a kind of metal that looks very light.

And a line of huge golden fluid characters hanging high above it dragged for more than 40 meters horizontally, and the characters shone with golden, dark golden, and brown flowing brilliance:

【Glow Love Hotel】

"...It's really quite bright."

Delphinium couldn't help complaining: "I found out that of all the buildings here, only one flash stands out.

"As long as it can be made to shine, it must shine."

If we say that the night of Happy Island is neon...they are purple, pink, and wine red, exuding an ambiguous atmosphere.

Then the night of Sogo Island is golden.

In a sense, there is more light here at night than during the day.She also went out for a stroll during the day, and it wasn't that shiny at all—no matter how you looked at it, it was pure white.

As a result, when I went out at night, the good guy——

If you look around, you can see many buildings shining brightly.It's no longer enough to just reflect street lights, those structures even have lights built into them.

And many god statues, Buddha statues, and holy elephants in the streets and alleys also shone with more intense brilliance.Some have golden halos behind their heads, some have halos above their heads, some have wings of light behind them, some have colorful glows all over their bodies, some have pure golden light all over their bodies, and some project raging flames on their bodies... …

If you look at it from the sky above at this time, I am afraid that these buildings look like brilliant jewels one after another.

Delphinium, who felt some pain in his eyes, finally understood why Russell still wore sunglasses when he went out at night.

"No, I will lend you."
