Chapter 363: Who Is the Oriole?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The festival celebration had begun, but only on some prosperous City Planets.
This kind of place was where the senior people lived. Only they were qualified to enjoy this kind of vacation.
“Didn’t you just take a break two days ago? Today, you’re taking a break again. I don’t even have time to catch up on work…”
In the garden, someone was complaining to his companion that the company had been having frequent holidays recently. He worked from home every day and was so bored that he was about to fall sick. 𝓯𝙧𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝙢
His companion said enviously, “I’m so envious of you. You can only work two days a week, and you can’t work more than four hours a day.”
“Unlike me, I have to work five days a week and work eight hours…”
His companion’s envious voice was his best seasoning, but as a high-level elite, he remained calm on the surface and said in an encouraging tone,
“Don’t worry. When you get to my level, you’ll know that it’s not that good. Sometimes, I envy you for having so much time to devote to your work…”
They chatted and laughed as they walked from the garden to the square, unaware that there was someone beside them listening to everything.
“How sad…”
The person who was lamenting in his heart was none other than the miner who had changed his identity to a high-class through the modification program.
After changing his identity, this was the first time he experienced the inequality of life.
Although work was a fixed culture within the company, even the higher-class personnel had to participate in the management of the company in the form of work, in comparison, this kind of job could not be called work at all.
After reaching this level, the miners realized that there were not only miners, farmers, and technicians in the company, but also unheard-of jobs such as food tasters, game testers, and even life recorders and hedonists.
Even from his name, he could roughly guess what these positions were for. However, with the last bit of hope that they were also very hardworking, he entered the job of a life recorder and was completely disappointed in this company.
As the name implies, all you have to do is record your life and upload it to the company’s relevant ports in text or image form.
It was such a job. What he found most difficult to accept was that there were six days of leave every week. Then what was the purpose of this job?
There was also an even more ridiculous job, pleasuremaker, which involved living the way you like until you die of old age.
Every month, the company also gives the position a huge subsidy to meet the living requirements, which makes the miners completely confused about the meaning of these jobs.
But today, he understood that these jobs existed to show the superiority of the class. Only the high class could enjoy the treatment of such jobs.
So where did everything come from to keep them going? High technology was part of it, but it came mostly from the low class who carry the burden of a dark life.
“My family has been in business for three generations. What makes you think that you can change your fate with just one day of hard work?” Not far ahead, a rich playboy was cursing at an intern employee he had knocked down.
The employees who were scolded listened to the insults humiliatingly and clenched their fists unwillingly, but they could only silently endure all of this.
This was because he was much lower than the other party. No matter what the truth was, it was definitely on the other party’s side.
Even after this, he had to apologize to the other party. Even if he was slapped, he had to accept it and beg the other party to forgive him. Otherwise, what awaited him was a large sum of compensation and criminal charges.
The miner saw this scene, but his heart did not waver.
No one on this planet was on the same level as him. It was very difficult for him to empathize with these people from the sky. Even if they were from the Humble Class, they were existences that true low-level people could not reach.
The commotion quickly subsided with the apology of the intern employee. Although he was the victim of the collision, if he stood for the justice of the megacorp, he would become the victim, and even public opinion could drown him.
There was nothing he could do about it. He could only hope that one day, he would change his fate.
When the miner passed by him, his sharp hearing system allowed him to hear what the employee was mumbling.
“You condescending fellows. Every dog has its day. One day, we, the Sentry, will return like lightning and pull all of you down…”
Upon hearing a certain keyword, the miner silently slowed down. He didn’t expect this random passerby to be a member of the Sentry Organization.
Although it was stupid to unknowingly reveal his identity on the streets, he couldn’t help but wonder if the Sentry Organization’s infiltration was more substantial than he had imagined.
However, he quickly dismissed this idea.
“At that time, we will be the masters of this enterprise. I will sit in your mansion and make you my slaves. You will work for me for generations…”
The miner didn’t know if this was because the Sentry Organization was too weak and had no choice but to accept such people as members, or if their program document was like this.
If it was the latter, he would also be disappointed in the Sentry because the hierarchy wasn’t broken. It was just that a group of people had been replaced.
“…I hope it won’t be so disappointing…”
At this moment, the miner felt inexplicably sad. He felt that he could no longer see the future of this place being saved.
He didn’t know much about the way companies controlled the bottom level, but he roughly knew that it was a dual insurance method of genetics and machinery. Simply put, it was to completely modify the bottom level through genetic modification and neural implants.
His batch of miners was still alright. They had only undergone genetic modification, and their intelligence was still normal. However, according to his understanding, the company seemed to have developed a special genetic technique for low-level people.
The company internally called this gene the intelligent reduction halo. It was said that it was originally used to turn enlightened lifeforms back into undeveloped lifeforms. A certain company’s higher-ups slapped their heads and decided to use this thing on low-level personnel.
As long as an individual carried this gene, he would subtly influence everyone around him.
It was obvious from the name that this kind of thing would lower intelligence. If the lower-class people were gradually affected by this intelligent reduction halo, then even if his compatriots overthrew this corporate government, it would only be redemption for failure.
Until now, he did not dare to communicate with his companions about their progress, afraid that he would receive a reply that said, “This place is not worth it. Let’s go.”
“…Don’t think too much. It will work!” He once again steeled his resolve and began to follow the crowd to the venue where the official festival celebration was about to take place.
He felt that there would be some important people from the company attending at this time, and he might be able to obtain some information from them.
Time passed quietly. Soon, the venue was filled with people. Most of the people gathered here were here for work.
There were reporters, self-media critics, people who purely came to support the daily salary, and some special personnel hiding in the dark.
Not long after, a general manager of the company’s upper echelons came to the stage set up on the spot, and prepared to speak.
The board of directors was an organization that only existed in legends. Those guys seldom appeared in front of others. It was the same now. Having a general manager appear was already considered important to this festival.
However, just as the general manager began to speak and was about to synchronize his speech live to every territory of the company, interference appeared.
His loudspeaker suddenly lost its effect, and the live broadcast drones began to focus their cameras on one spot.
There was a circle separated by a group of people, and someone was giving an impassioned speech.
“My compatriots, others are starving in this galaxy. In places you can’t see, a terrible genocide is taking place…”
Although this person’s clothes were printed with the image of the XX Protection Organization, the miner recognized at a glance that this person was actually a member of the Sentry Organization.
This was because after his x-ray vision swept across his entire body, he saw the tattoo of the Sentry Organization that was wanted hundreds of years ago.
However, in the eyes of the miner, this kind of speech was extremely sad. How difficult would it be for a group of people who lived in their own class to overthrow their own class?
The words that were trying to resonate with him were as weak as playing the lute to a cow. When the topic of food was brought up, some of the audience could not help but interrupt.
“They don’t have energy bars to eat. Can’t they eat free nutritional meals? Isn’t this free and unlimited food in the company? I’ve relied on this a few times.”
“The company’s benefits are so good, yet you’re still complaining here! I think you’re just working overtime!”
“Where did this clown come from? Hurry up and go back to drinking milk! Why? Are you still not convinced?”
The speaker obviously did not expect that he would be targeted instead. This made him feel uncomfortable. The words he had prepared were stuck in his throat.
In the distance, the general manager was also watching this scene with great interest. It was as if he had already expected this outcome. With a wave of his hand, the guards rushed forward to capture this person.
The desperate speaker also saw many familiar figures among the surrounding hecklers. Some of them were even people that the organization trusted very much.
They were supposed to add fuel to the fire in the dark, but now, they had become accomplices. Many people even had mocking expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they were not from this side from the beginning.
Looking at the guards surrounding him, he revealed an expression that said, “What’s done is done.” He was prepared to calmly accept the upcoming trial.
He had also seen their people among the guards, but it was only recently that they had been hastily developed and logged off. Even those who were most trusted had been betrayed, and he did not have any hope for this person.
However, to his surprise, just as the guard was about to restrain him, he suddenly said in his ear, “Leave quickly. I’ll drag you here.” Then, he kicked him away and began to shout, causing a commotion. For a moment, he really disappeared.
The speaker watched in a daze. He could not believe that the people they trusted the most had betrayed them, but the people they trusted the most still held on to their beliefs. It made him want to cry.
He immediately got up and wanted to escape, but he stopped. He had no intention of returning alive from this speech. This was the territory of the company. Where could he run to? Unfortunately, their organization had lost another unwavering person.
However, at this moment, the general manager, who was watching the show on the high platform, was suddenly patted on the shoulder. Before he could turn around, his vision turned black and he lost consciousness.
An identical general manager replaced him and began to calm the commotion.
At his feet was a wanted criminal who had failed to assassinate him.
At this moment, there seemed to be a huge black shadow appearing and disappearing in the sky. As if a signal had been activated, more and more law enforcers began to appear in the crowd to evacuate the crowd.
The miner looked at all of this in shock and met the general manager’s eyes.
The other party blinked and finally revealed a friendly smile..
