In the cold night, the city lights are as brilliant as the galaxy.

The [automatic sidewalk] under the control of artificial AI moves forward slowly, always at a speed of 44 meters per minute.

The [smart taxi] without a driver shuttles back and forth in the air, while the [bus suspension speed] with medium transportation is running along a fixed three-dimensional line.

The rumbling [trackless floating bus train] has the largest capacity, carrying a large number of passengers, roaring at the docking platform, and roaring to the next destination.

Under the street, of course, there are also [subway] travels through the streets that are also controlled by artificial AI.

Private hovering speeds, many strange creatures and mechanical beasts that act as mounts or means of transportation, rise and fall over high-rise buildings of various shapes.

Road signs, door signs, and road name signs are still the same. Compared with thousands of years ago, there is not much change, at least it still maintains its ancient appearance on the outside.

There are no overpasses, no single-track lines, no traffic lights, and no zebra crossings in the city. All traffic rules are hidden deep in the invisible hustle and bustle of the city and prosperity.

This is the Federation that Louis is familiar with, the big city scene that Louis is familiar with - all this is due to technological progress, and many ancient urban traffic signal facilities have been eliminated. For the purpose of maintaining historical style or tourism, some cities have maintained various traffic signal facilities since ancient times, thinking that the embellishment of the urban style shows a certain historical thickness.

Louis quickly woke up from his palpitations. Everything in front of him was illusory. The digital world of virtual reality would not be the real world. He came here not to indulge in the federal memory of the past, but to select some tasks that suit him from the tasks issued by Sieger. He was to earn points by doing tasks and then exchange points for the internal benefits of Sieger.

Louis consciously took the [trackless floating bus train with five cars and free]. On the city traffic map obtained by Louis, the city's "city hall" and "vocational guild" and the administrative office building are still a long way from where he is now, so it is naturally impossible to walk or walk slowly on the [automatic sidewalk]. Although [smart taxi] and [bus suspended speed] are just virtual "data groups", they also have to be used in this virtual city, and they need to pay the "virtual currency" issued by the official website of Sieger as the fare.

It is a "cost" that Louis, who has just entered the grid community, cannot afford for the time being, so the transportation options that Louis can choose in this virtual city are very limited, and the free [trackless train] is one of his few choices. In this virtual city, Louis is a pauper. Although he is also a pauper in reality, he is also a pauper on the "Jinshi Star". Even though he still holds a large amount of industrial raw materials such as ore, crude steel, and alloys in his hands, he is still a pauper. If he does not have the right to set the price, he is naturally an exploited and squeezed, a miserable prisoner.

[Trailless floating bus] After almost half of the city, Louis finally got off at a 'trackless train platform' near the 'City Hall'.

As soon as he left the platform, Louis saw many people who sent flyers, posters and brochures distributed posters and leaflets to passers-by. Some of these people were "hourly paid billing officers" hired by merchants, some were volunteers from non-governmental organizations, and some were members of so-called "dissident groups" (political groups or environmental groups, etc.) holding various signs to express their demands. Disputes groups protest or oppose anything, and they can be seen from a distance. Of course, distributing posters, leaflets, or raising signs and demonstrating requires filing and registration. Obtaining a license from the government is considered a legal act.

Louis frowned. This scene is common in the big and small cities of the Federation, but is there anyone doing this in the Seig Company's secret grid community?

After closer inspection, Louis felt relieved. Those were NPCs, and artificial AI was really smart. They almost 'climbed' under Louis' nose.

Near bustling streets or stations in various cities and cities in the federal government, there are often many school girls participating in social practice activities to distribute advertising tissues for merchants. If you take a few steps, you may get two or three packs of small tissues. Various public or semi-public bathrooms in federal public places (www.piaotian.compcs) walk back and forth on the streets and distribute advertising tissues to pedestrians. Even when Louis was stunned for a while, two little lolitas were already standing in front of Louis, and half-extending their hands pitifully. Isn’t the advertising tissues in their hands just advertising tissues, and there are product advertisements from different manufacturers printed on them. Louis smiled and took two packs of advertising tissues. After the two little lolitas thanked him shyly, they ran away like a deer to intercept the next pedestrian and continue their order assignment career.

In addition, near markets or stations in federal cities, many merchants will provide "coupons" of various products, as well as food coupons, travel coupons, beauty coupons, housekeeping service coupons, lecture coupons, movie coupons, group purchase coupons and other coupons to promote, rewards, anniversary, holidays, new product launches and other promotions. Various discount promotion coupons, including coupons, are mostly printed in advertising pages, newspapers, magazines and flyers, with dotted lines on all sides that can be cut and spare. Buying things with coupons can save a lot of money, and it is not useless. Therefore, federal citizens will most likely pick and choose, leave some advertising pages, take the flyers home, and the various product coupons printed on them are the goods or services they may purchase. Louis has discovered that even the NPC character is the best provided in virtual cities

Promotional coupons are not just about making up for the situation, but they are really "thing". However, the goods and services provided are basically virtual goods and virtual services. For example, food coupons, the last supply of food "data groups" in the virtual reality digitally described, which can allow people to enjoy a certain creative "food experience" in the digital world of virtual reality; for example, travel coupons are traveling among various creative digital attractions in the virtual world; group buying is also a bunch of strangers who use relatively low "virtual currency" prices to buy the same variety of virtual goods together, etc. In the federal government, not all grid virtual cities have similar perfect functions. Behind the hardware and software is the large investment in funds, knowledge and manpower. Sig has indeed invested in this regard.

As for the ubiquitous crystal screens of various sizes, although the [holographic projection] technology is more advanced, for merchants, the crystal screen has a lower cost and wider adaptability, and is more suitable for serving product advertisements and playing film and television images. During the interval of scrolling advertisements, news inside and outside the federal government and some other TV columns are interspersed from time to time. At the same time, the scene of scrolling subtitle news and subtitle advertisements can also be seen everywhere in federal cities in the real world.

Seeing this familiar scene in the virtual city, Louis really felt like he was a different life. It was not until he walked into the "City Hall" of the virtual city, and he was a little dazed, that he came back to his senses. After calming down his various moods, Louis began to do business.

There are almost no staff in the "City Hall" and there are self-service municipal information terminals everywhere. At the same time, there are AI robots or AI robots waiting to be summoned, providing relevant consultation and help at any time. This is the same as in the real world.

Louis looked at the information terminal for a long time, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Sieger's task evaluation and release system has many public tasks published on the information terminal of the official website node, and there are not many tasks that can be done in the "Three Prisons Galaxy", and there are not many tasks that can be done in the "Arena 4 Star" (Jinshi Star). Louis knows his situation, and he will not be able to leave the "Jinshi Star" regulatory area in the short term, so there is no need to do non-'Jinshi Star' tasks.

What tasks can be found on the Jinshi Star?

In addition to what Louis already knows, such as crude ore, crude steel, and alloy materials obtained on planets can be counted as tasks and submitted to Sieger. The information terminal of the virtual city's "City Hall" shows the "long-term effective" category. The visitors are not rejected and open to purchase, and are for everyone. For example, animal and plant tissue samples and complete animal and plant ** or "all specimens" on each planet; geographic information on the field; mineral survey data; animal and plant distribution survey reports, etc. At most, Louis learned that the tissue samples or ** of rare species found on each planet can be submitted to Sieger as tasks, and the final task evaluation is higher than that of general tasks.

In addition, establishing the planet's own trade routes and even trading systems, building towns, blocking barriers, border patrols, etc. on each planet are also considered large-scale and long-term tasks.

In addition to these, the level of development of Jinshi Star is still very low after all, and more types of tasks will not be available.

Louis was patient and carefully looked through the information terminal. Finally, he found the approximate information closest to his requirements in the "submodule" of the [Task Evaluation and Publishing System] of the official website node.

In Sig Company's task system, there is a [Purchase Information/Sales Information Release Column] submodule. There is no need to explain the [Purchase Information] in it. As long as people who can log in to the Sig Company node, they can buy something in this publishing column. [Sales Information] sells various products, new products, old products, most of them are customized products, hand-made products, hand-made DIY products and other personalized products. In addition, second-hand goods are on sale (including second-hand products for repair and re-repair), as well as various commercial services - training services for various skills/skills, training services for certain professional fields, and advanced skills training for certain products (many advanced products have many functions, but people may not be able to discover and apply all functions most of the time, and necessary training is still in market demand). Some information collection and analysis services are even published on this publishing column to find specific target customers.

In addition to the instant information release in the [Information Release Bar], there is also a [intention order system] focusing on long-term business and repeat customers, which also interests Louis. Anyone can leave an explanation or an introduction of his own abilities in this [intention order system], which means that he can do something, what can be done, what services can be provided for a considerable period of time, and then wait for the potential customers to see it and contact him. When the customer uses the [intelligent search engine] function of the biochemical intelligent brain

At that time, if he feels that the explanation of a message may help him and that he may be able to do what he wants, he will describe his intentions and requirements in the [Intent Order System] in a more specific way (such as cost, price, quality, specifications, delivery deadline, etc.). If the message sees the intention of a customer in the [Intent Order System] and feels that he can do it himself, he can reply directly and contact the customer for negotiation. This is actually equivalent to the preliminary process of advanced manual customization.

Finally, Louis also discovered a [contract bidding system], which he could use. Some special contracts with special terms in advance, as long as they have not been finalized, others can snatch the contracts that others have already obtained through the rapid bidding process in this [contract bidding system]; and those who have already obtained the contract will not be fine. They need to beware of the execution contract being snatched away by others on better and faster conditions, which will be a big loss.

Louis was finally not too disappointed. After writing down these "rules of the game", he took on several tasks that were more suitable for him at this stage on the information terminal and withdrew from the "City Hall". He had some other things to do, and some things needed to be temporarily put away.

Outside the 'City Hall', Louis struggled for a long time in his heart, but he still resisted contacting his family. His current situation is not suitable, and it is easy to arouse the Norton family's vigilance.

Then, what Louis had to do next was clear - that was to reconnect with his former former subordinates whom he had never met. Before committing the crime, Louis violated federal law and made and sold several soft drugs to earn huge amounts of money, thus carrying out his series of murder and silence plans. In this process, Louis naturally used the federal interstellar grid as a medium to indirectly establish an underground crime network, and in his hands he had a group of mainly from the bottom.

Some of the people in society are responsible for collecting intelligence, some are responsible for analyzing intelligence, some are responsible for tracking, stalking or secretly surveillance, some are responsible for "wet work" (assassination, kidnapping, blasting, stealing, poisoning, attacks, etc.), and some are involved in the operation of the underground economic system at Louis' hands, including "money laundering", smuggling, stolen goods and other channels, as well as legal cover companies. In fact, Louis even went around.

Through legal and illegal means such as investment and investment, he actually controls several local media (newspapers, magazines, television stations, and network companies). He has always had other identities and industries like the bosses of many federal media, and has close ties with the federal government and local governments. Of course, he will not easily confront the federal government or local governments. The fact is that many media bosses have many private industries that require the support of the federal or local governments. Therefore, although critical news reports can be constantly seen in federal media, they are consciously controlled by the "unspoken rules" of certain industries. This does not need to be explained, and everyone should understand. News control has never been a patent of a dictatorial society or authoritative society. Louis himself has always called the "old subordinate" of the underground criminal network, with the purpose of concealing people's ears and confusing the public. Of course, his subordinates have always believed that this was just a code name or a code word.

Louis wanted to contact the "old subordinates" for a simple purpose. Whether it was to deal with the Norton family, to deal with the crisis that might come from the Dark Church in the future, or to promote some of his plans in secret, it would require a lot of financial support. Therefore, he had to rebuild the broken contact with his temporarily lurking subordinates.
