I don’t earn much more, but my savings keep shrinking.” The man shook his head and handed Su Lin the change: “I just hope he won’t have to work as hard as we did.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take care, come again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After muttering a few complaints to a passing customer, the man returned to the grill, took back the rack, and flipped another grass carp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal: to let all of humanity lie flat—live in ease, with food and clothing handed to them, just like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a pretty big vision. Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let humanity lie down until they’re sick of it, then introduce a “hero” to overthrow the utopia—he’d already figured out how to wrap it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his late-night snack, Su Lin strolled slowly through the city, curious about what the current Lu Mingfei might be doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already booked tickets to watch “Tokyo Love Story” live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wouldn’t know how this “anomalous” Lu Mingfei would act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chat group window popped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The first round of administrator (trial) voting will open in 72 hours.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Each group member may vote; the member with the most votes will receive one year of administrator privileges and an administrator bonus pack.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【This vote follows principles of fairness, openness, and impartiality.
