Chapter 301
The Vivian Port hypermarket in the morning was very lively, crowded with people.
Some were foreign tourists who came here for the last swimsuit show in Vivian Port, with Kyushu people who like to join in the fun being the majority. Some were small vendors selling various local specialties and handicrafts on small tricycles in the scenic area. Two thousand years ago, they rode small donkeys and camels.
A huge beauty advertisement board wearing a bikini was erected high on the ancient city wall that can be traced back to the Ottoman rule. A pink curtain was hung high. The central T-stage of the hypermarket had been cleared. Several workers were doing final checks on the sound equipment and various props, but the traffic police maintaining order on the street were not much more than usual.
"Really strange." Xia Yubing rolled down the car window, lay on the passenger seat looking at the noisy crowd and police scattered everywhere outside the window, somewhat puzzled: "Last year during the Dragon Boat Festival, both sides of the Qinchuan River were also gathered with tens of thousands of people. The local police station dispatched all their police force to maintain order, and for the sake of insurance, they also borrowed an extra batch of police from nearby cities."
Although the population density gathered in Vivian Port today is not as high as that time in Qinchuan, because the city scale is smaller, the population density is actually higher.
"With such a large flow of people and population density, the police maintaining order on the street are only a little more than usual." Xia Yubing cast her gaze toward the hypermarket in the distance and asked: "Is that Fersolus not afraid of accidents and causing security incidents? I mean stampedes or something."
"Of course not afraid." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said gently: "The population quality of Vivian Port is relatively high. There are no homeless people or local ruffians, and girls can safely walk at night."
"Is that so?" Xia Yubing blinked, somewhat surprised: "It's really like what is said in those marketing articles and soft articles in the country, things left on the road are not picked up, and doors are not closed at night?"
Has Europa achieved the rule of sages and great harmony in the world?
"That's not it." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe shook his head: "There are no homeless people or local ruffians, not because the moral level of foreigners is high, but because their military, police, and special agents catch people fast enough."
"Why is this again?" Xia Yubing was even more confused.
"Because of strange events." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe continued: "Also refreshing strange events within the territory from time to time, the processing plan of the Europa United States is a bit different from ours."
"Kyushu government will use high welfare treatment to train dead soldiers in batches, enter the area where strange events occur to explore the rules, successfully crack the rules and calm the event, then fly to the sky. If they die inside, then their families will be raised by me... However, not everyone can be a dead soldier to explore strange events. These people need to undergo background checks before being trained to prevent them from becoming Ascenders and starting to play with martial arts to violate the ban."
"The Europa United States is the opposite. Here, whether it is a small hooligan who robs a car, a street gang that collects protection fees, or a small thief who steals, they will be arrested by the police as soon as possible. After simple indoctrination of some knowledge, they will be thrown into strange events as white mice to explore the rules. If 100 people are thrown in, it's enough to have 1 survive. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will be imprisoned and harvested by those noble families who have been passed down for many years."
"However, in recent years, the appearance of strange events has become more and more frequent, and criminals are in short supply all year round. Many cities, such as the police in Vivian Port, have begun to catch homeless people on the street to top their performance, year after year. Slowly, the homeless in the city have almost all been caught, but white mice are still not enough, and supply is in short supply."
"Millions of military, police, and special agents stare at city residents every day, eagerly hoping that someone will commit a crime so they can go out to brush their performance. In the last two years, they have begun to kill the good to claim credit. Every month, law-abiding citizens are inexplicably 'criminally accused.' Two police stations in different cities have even clashed because one side snatched the criminals in the other's jurisdiction..."
Also catching people to fill the line to deal with strange events, Kyushu has always used good family children to fill the line, and Europa catches social scum to fill the line. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe doesn't know which method is better, and doesn't care. He is driving while slowly telling Xia Yubing about these situations.
"... The situation is just like this, so now do you know why there are so few police maintaining order in Vivian Port?"
Xia Yubing's mouth opened into an "o" shape, making a long: "Oh..."
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe drove through the bustling central area, left the hypermarket with people coming and going behind him, left the urban area, drove along the breakwater to the seaside, and drove all the way to the bottom of a cylindrical high platform transformed from an old water tower.
This high platform is the asset of Fersolus Milicato. After buying the water tower, he spent 3 years getting the renovation permit and spent 5 years transforming it into a private entertainment facility that is not open to the public. Usually, only he and a few friends will come. Fersolus gave this high platform a name with the style of Wei Wu: Copper Bird Terrace.
The noble old men of Europa don't understand what this name means, but since they heard it was copied from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it must be very awesome.
Stopping the car, Xia Yubing looked at the big "Copper Bird Terrace" characters on the main entrance of the water tower and was stunned for a few seconds, then entered the elevator with Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe following the guidance of the receptionist.
"Welcome." The elevator lady bowed slightly to Fan Daike played by Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe and said softly: "The distinguished guests are already waiting on the top floor. Do you want to go now? Or go to the 5th floor to get a drink first?"
"Top floor." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said.
"Okay." The elevator lady didn't ask again and reached out to press the button for the top floor.
The elevator of the Copper Bird Terrace was not wrapped indoors, but an open-air glass silo tightly attached to the outer wall of the water tower. Standing inside, one could directly see the long and curved breakwater and the beautiful sea surface like sparkling gems.
Out of the elevator, the two came to the open-air viewing platform on the top of the water tower. There was not a single servant here. Under the arched glass dome, emerald green lawns were laid. On both sides of the pebble path were planted unknown flowers. In the center of the terrace was a lush cinnamon tree. Looking from afar, there seemed to be a few people sitting at the tables and chairs placed under the cinnamon tree.
Xia Yubing walked behind Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe and poked his waist secretly with her finger: "The elevator lady's look at you just now seemed a bit strange. Will there be a trap here?"
"Having vigilance is a good thing, but this time you thought too much." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said lightly: "That elevator lady has been slept by Fan Daike."
"Ah this..." Xia Yubing still wanted to say something, but the people sitting under the cinnamon tree had already noticed their arrival and greeted them from afar.

"Long time no see! Respected Mr. Dai Ke." A long-haired man in well-dressed clothes came to the two with full enthusiasm. It was Liu Hongwen, whom Xia Yubing had seen in the information before.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe shook hands with him politely and cast his gaze toward another man on the side.
Wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a big belly, but his face was waxy yellow, looking sick.
"Is your body still healthy? President Shen." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said with a smile.
"Thanks to you, it's not bad." Shen Changjiang squeezed out a smile, narrowed his eyes and said: "If the God of Wealth can be invited to Europa earlier, it would be even better... By the way, who is this?"
Shen Changjiang cast his gaze toward the tall woman beside Mr. Dai Ke.
"I haven't introduced them to you yet." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said calmly, smiling: "This is Xia Yubing, Miss Xia from Qinzhou. Like you, she is a wise person who abandoned darkness for light and came to Europa after being persecuted by the tyranny of Kyushu."
