Then, on election day, the other candidates are nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, some people will resent the information bombardment, creating side effects for the election...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But people always have needs. With a powerful surveillance system and AI analysis capabilities, the delivery can be precise enough to ensure every message hits the target’s heart. When the target recognizes these contents and binds the recognition with the candidate’s image, his vote can basically be claimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe this kind of bombardment can’t reach 100%, but as long as it works, it proves the theory is feasible. Once feasible, there is room for improvement. Even if it can only reach 30%, it is still a powerful manipulation mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And pulling votes is just a very elementary application that is not significant for the European Union.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greater use is, through this mechanism, implanting some ideas into most citizens’ subconscious...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly affecting the first impression, like Elliot, who prides himself on often exploring \"outside wall spaces,\" mastering \"wall-crossing core technology,\" being a \"network trendsetter.\" But in reality?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When something goes wrong, the first thought is still: I might really be in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really need to consider the overall situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mindset can be easily utilized by elites like Avin, requiring only slight guidance to turn big issues into small ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person can sometimes open their mind and not hold back. Elliot immediately thought: That damned Avin Ross, just now that coworker Sylvan was clearly concerned about the big picture, forced to go crazy with no options by the management, and I was only self-rescuing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of their mistakes, lost his job, might never find work again, wander the streets, or even be thrown out of the European Barrier?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, not bringing in more machines and resources is the manager’s negligence, the company’s stinginess!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn European Tunnel Company, if you can’t do it, get lost! There are plenty of other companies waiting to do this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Johnny: Look at this kid, once his mindset changes, he gets excited like a child with a new toy.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Don’t you feel the same as when you just escaped from the battlefield? I must praise him for not thinking about getting women and drugs right away.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Johnny was at a loss for words, looking up to the sky:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Johnny: Hey, I just did what every man would do...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Oh?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Johnny: Really not interesting.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Johnny disappeared from Elliot’s sight, obediently hiding back in the storage device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does it always end up like this? Why does he, whose words are merciless and a master at cursing, always end up being rendered speechless by Lille, losing the drive to show off and posture?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does it mean, AI messing with women and drugs?\" Elliot looked puzzled, \"Are there AI hidden in sex toys and big guns? Thank goodness I didn’t change...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille was grateful he now had a metal face. Even more grateful to be an AI, making it easy to control facial expressions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: That’s enough about these things for now. You hit the nail on the head: European Tunnel Company not doing it, plenty of companies will.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demand for the English-French channel will surely exist, with payments from the European Union and British government, no one would refuse...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless they have no money left, only giving a very low contractor fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t understand, please continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Like I said, this is risky. The cyber psychosis incident can be a point of attack against them, so they avoid discussing it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still don’t get it.\" Elliot was completely puzzled, \"Attack them? Me? Attack the European Tunnel Company?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: ... There are plenty of companies willing to do it, remember how you put it?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I starting a company to attack them? I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Idiot! Asking you to start a company to attack the European Tunnel Company is as ridiculous as fantasizing about blowing up the English-French Channel with a plane! Pig brain, I mean there might be others wanting this project!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Munemasa added quietly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: I always said this kid’s brain is bad, you insisted I lacked patience.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s as if Elliot was struck by lightning, his steps halted, body straightened, eyes brightened, a genius idea struck his brain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand! We...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: You don’t need to! We go to the labor regulation department and report them!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Elliot was completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Lille meant to hack into the network and send anonymous emails to the companies—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just imagining it was thrilling: Anonymous justice hackers exposing the ugly truth of heartless factories and project managers...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Labor regulation department? Of what use is that, the labor regulation department might as well turn into cyber psychosis. If you don’t know, you’d think they’re God, whatever they say goes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: That’s why I say, you have a lot to learn outside of tech...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Since social psychology is an important aspect of the European Barrier, those who don’t know how to use it will find it hard to stand out from... idiots like you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: What you need to do now is to proactively stand out while...remember, you’re just a lousy worker, whatever the European Union does for you, let it stay in your head.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame that rose just a moment ago was extinguished, and Elliot relaxed, coincidentally, the road under his feet was almost free of mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had entered the real \"city\" part of Foxstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to workers’ apartments, not only was it geographically distant from factories and the mud dirt-free, but the streets were no longer crowded with workers in identical uniforms, with ashen faces—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everywhere were beauties and handsome guys...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly beauties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elliot’s little eyes immediately caught onto a European beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Munemasa’s voice sounded again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: Look, he’s considering mating again. I suggest we run away, with your skills, no need for humans, we can still escape.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille was also a little speechless: One second he’s all about uplifting thoughts, boosting courage, next second he’s looking at beauties, not just looking, all sorts of ideas rushing in his head...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Elliot had an explanation ready, he immediately defended himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, big bro, big bro listen, we humans are just like that, doing... mating, is the crystallization of love, proof of human sincerity reaching its peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at me, I never mess around, I know there’s a woman who will share life with me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not resorting to big guns also for reaching the pinnacle of emotions and love alongside her...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking and talking, he scanned another woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, what citizens like is good stuff, I’m just seeing any problems...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lille with patience began shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: ...
