You ask me how sweet? The market price is 50 Euros per breath.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure air is indeed valuable in this world, but whether it’s worth 50 Euros is debatable. It’s largely Johnny exaggerating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Johnny once asked Lille: This world does seem to be getting better, even making people feel like it has already won...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all of Europe is intimidated by this increasingly intense labor movement, and some real changes happen: like laws truly ensuring workers’ wages, working hours, and basic health being implemented and optimized, then what comes next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Workers aren’t fools; they fight for respect. If the companies truly give them respect, if the European Union truly takes them seriously, why would they still protest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here lies a very awkward problem: What if the other side compromises?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Johnny, but also Elliot and Sevens have the same feeling in their heads: When someone has nothing, the barefoot are unafraid of those wearing shoes; but when people start to gain a little, they become anxious about losing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It went from fighting both ends meaning death, to: I’ve already gained so much, maybe I should consider this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps my companions are already satisfied? Perhaps this society needs mutual compromise, businesses have tough times too, the EU isn’t having it easy either, pushing too hard has no benefit; maybe...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it’s already enough? Is this the point to reach balance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille only smiled at this question without giving an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But someone saw through their thoughts, proactively providing an answer and advice: or rather, guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Berlin is pretty nice, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking in the Sky Garden, Instructor Graham reached his hand towards the trees on the roadside, and a little bird obediently perched on his palm, rubbing against his fingers, looking extremely cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trees, birds, waterfalls, even the air intoxicate people, this scene indeed evokes a beautiful sense of harmony between humanity and nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trends\" within the European Union are almost visible: young people frantically bleach their skin, invest various savings based on their credit, using all sorts of techniques and solutions with varied effects;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People pursue near-identical perfect body shapes, generally only strong, well-proportioned, and tall being the three categories;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also reshape their eyebrows, chins, facial bones, even entire body bones...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this, just to get closer to the upper class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Sevens had privately mentioned many times to Elliot about how the Golden Sons and their children, the Golden Boys, disrupt this societal operation, directly influencing people’s values, aesthetics, and thoughts...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Elliot always wondered how it could influence them? Isn’t the brain their own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he truly felt that this influence indeed existed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw this scene, he felt people indeed should protect the ecology, how cute the bird is, how fresh the air is, life is so beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what life should be like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Showing off sports cars, mansions and such are nothing compared to Graham here; it’s completely nouveau riche, with no depth at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graham showed a friendly smile and let the bird go, seemingly able to communicate with it, and the bird was quite cooperative:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All this is supported under a stable society, stable order, no matter how Night City claims to be a Free City, it can never have such beautiful scenes, this is the power of order, it’s the European Union bringing together all trades and professions to achieve greatness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw your plans, Might Field is indeed a good cooperation target, not only does this sports star have almost crushing performances in American leagues, he also has quite a ’scandal’ with the Hamburg Criminal Group in Night City...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conveniently, data shows that most of the workers involved in this labor movement like sports, and like to watch Night City news, regardless of whether they support or oppose Night City’s liberalism—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Graham’s commentary, Elliot felt confused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t right, wasn’t searching for Might the idea that big brother had in mind from the beginning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t have this consideration at first, clearly it was big brother saying to let him see big brother’s network...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did it end up being a well-considered and felt by future situations over a month later decision?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Elliot: Big brother, brilliant.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Johnny: What’s with this kid losing it?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille, with an enigmatic expression, crossed his arms and stayed silent, merely observing the guests at the banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The projects people are willing to invest frantically are highly likely trends led by the Golden Sons, most notably physical appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present had a handsome face, fair skin, more importantly, their clothes were very formal, dignified, and vintage—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Night City, it’s different, although most corporate executives also follow similar \"business etiquette,\" in Night City, it’s not uncommon to see people with strange aesthetics, colorful hair, shiny even light-polluting LED clothes are normal at banquets...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, not being able to tell gender is also normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the European Union, appearing in high-end settings with such looks would be considered disrespectful to the occasion, no one would risk offending the Golden Sons to express themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the level of this banquet is extremely high, no one who likes to be unconventional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was looking for an acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...The banquet area is just ahead, your bodyguards should stop here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long Sky Garden pathway was soon completed, ahead was an open-air venue, although between skyscrapers, it could still be described as \"nestled among mountains and rivers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alina stopped with her teammates outside, gave Elliot a wink and a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, you’ll stay outside too.\" Graham stopped Carl who was following behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carl and Elliot both stopped, locked eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Elliot could speak, Carl scratched his head and said voluntarily: \"Alright, I’ll stay outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing the threshold, Elliot waved back to his companions, catching up to Graham and hearing the instructor guiding him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to our estimates, the executive committee will finally have significant power, even if integrated into the labor-management relationship department, it’s a senior official position, you should have class sensitivity—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, remember, your bodyguard’s level is very low, secondly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graham glanced at Carl: \"That kind of prosthetic doesn’t fit in high-end occasions, that big guy’s prosthetic modification level is close to half, already an artificial monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, he looked at the confident Sevens: \"Sevens is doing quite well, you should learn more from him, you always show a lack of assertiveness, full of doubts, you should keep these things in your heart...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw that sports star, don’t act like a worker who’s never seen the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I...am I not a worker?
