After leaving Memphis, the funeral group changed modes of transportation many times and arrived safely at their destination, Fedengla.
Ya Xiu thought that An Nan had a local snake to support him here. After all, in the whole gospel, only Lala Fei had not been offended by them. If there was no one to support him, then to welcome them would be either betrayal or a bullet.
However, according to Annan, ‘This is a city where you can hide safely if you offend the whole world’.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Because Fedengla is the area with the weakest power of the gospel. It does not mean that this is a forbidden area where the gospel cannot be effective. It is simply because the people here are too poor to listen to the gospel.
Listening to the gospel requires gospel points, and the only source of points is to be on the list. Needless to say, geniuses can be on the list themselves, but the only way for ordinary people to obtain points is to gain points from the city and collective points, that is, the city will
Points are distributed to all citizens, and companies distribute the points and profits to their employees.
But there is a problem here: the list positions are limited, so there will definitely be cities and companies that cannot be on the list.
Azura, Vamula, and Memphela are all cities at the top of the list, so cities and companies earn a lot of points every year, and these points are invested in reproduction. The result is to create their own unique characteristics in their respective fields.
Occupying an unshakable first-mover advantage, we quickly completed new modernization construction and built two-story cities one after another.
As for Fei Deng La, it is an atmosphere group that cannot be ranked on any list. The greatest significance of its existence is to highlight how excellent the cities on the list are.
What, you ask why cities that are lagging behind don’t catch up and strive to create a national civilized city? This is the same as why singles don’t leave the group, why authors don’t update, and why they don’t hide when being shot.
Public security, organizational strength, GDP, education level...these data are not independent of each other, but related to each other.
Excluding Memphela and Vanmula, two cities that rely on miracles to cheat, take Azura as an example: because everyone listens to the gospel, public security is good, everyone takes the initiative to receive education, companies have a good development environment, and the overall level of the city
Rise up, and then get a good ranking, and citizens will get gospel points, and then citizens will be more motivated to listen to the gospel...
Therefore, if it fails to make the list in all aspects, it means that the city is not just a little short, but is as bad as mud in the ground - because it has not entered a virtuous positive cycle at all!
Feidenla is the best example. As one of the top five cities in terms of population, its competitors are first-class cities like Azura. However, the gap between it and Azura can be reflected in just one sentence: Feidenla has no
of school.
There is an education cabin in Azura's public school, and everyone can enjoy customized education when they lie down in it. This kind of welfare facilities is not available in Philippines. It is not that the empire does not provide it, but it is provided as soon as it is delivered to Philippines.
It will be dismantled by everyone and sold for money.
This extends to the second characteristic of Fei Deng La: the red hats are only responsible for the central wealthy area. As for the crimes that occur in other areas of Fei Dengla, the red hats have no regard at all.
Disorder, no education, and no government, these are the three characteristics of Feidengla.
This is not how much the citizens of Fedenla yearn for freedom, but the result of a complicated game - to put it simply, the empire distributes points support in proportion to the city's population every year. At first, the upper echelons of Fedenla thought that Fedenla could not keep up with the situation.
Other cities compete, so this point subsidy will definitely be wasted, so it is better to let them spend it themselves.
Without points to assist governance, the Philippines will naturally deteriorate day by day. However, this ulcer-shaped city has attracted special attention: corporations want to do dirty work in illegal areas, and chaos elements are eager to break free from the shackles of the gospel.
Bribery, bribery, dereliction of duty, collusion... crimes that have long been discovered by the Gospels in other cities, with the cooperation of all parties, are reborn in this mud. As for the red hats, they pretend they don't know anything -
As the lowest-ranked red hats in the whole gospel, their non-involvement in crime is already the result of the red hats’ professional contract constraints.
After decades of gestation, Feidengla has completely degenerated into a free and chaotic city. An Nan's choice to take refuge here is indeed an excellent choice - don't forget, although the people here are too poor to listen to the gospel, An Nan
Nan herself is a rich little woman who has money to pray for the gospel!
After seeing how wealthy her mother and Eveline were, An Nan could only be regarded as a little rich woman in Ya Xiu's eyes. However, even a little rich woman could still cause a dimension-reducing blow to Fei Dengla, a primitive society.
Ordinary people without gospel points can't even detect their identities. An Nan prayed for a fixed 'random avatar blessing' for the room. As long as they move in the room, their images will be replaced in the eyes of outsiders.
For other appearances, there is no need to be afraid of revealing your identity.
In a normal city, An Nan wouldn't dare to pray for this kind of blessing. In the gospel magician's regular detection gift package, there are dozens of items including miracles, magic spirits, blessings, etc., and it only takes 10 points to detect hundreds of miles around.
In all abnormal situations, if the purple moth dares to pray for a fixed blessing, it will be like saying to others, "Look, I am very suspicious here."
But in a poor place like Feidengla, this kind of blessing couldn't be more practical.
Ash had no doubt that they could even stay here safely until the weaving festival was over.
However, Annan's visit to the Philippines was not purely for refuge.
After washing up, Ash and Harvey went back and sat down. The room was very narrow and the table was small, so it was a bit crowded for six people to sit there, but they were used to it these days. When everyone was there, An Nan said, "It's time to start dinner."
Everyone then started to eat. Today's breakfast was macaroni with cream, eggs and bacon bread and milk tea. Panji said: "This breakfast costs a total of 32 coppers. I still have 73 coppers left here. Ash, take it."
"Yeah." Ash took over the financial power of the family.
An Nan asked: "Harvey, what is your job today?"
"It's better to go to the construction site." Harvey said: "You need to be introduced to the morgue here by an acquaintance to enter. Anyway, I can't stay for a few days, and I won't be busy anymore."
"Where are you, Igura?"
"I became friends with Miss Martha yesterday, and she agreed to let me run her fortune telling club room for a few days." Igula said, "I will try to be a fortune teller."
"I plan to change my job." Banji suddenly said.
"Why, didn't you do a good job as a handyman?" An Nan asked.
"But the boss's little daughter seems to like me." Banji said calmly: "It won't be good for her to stay here any longer."
"Isn't this great?" Igula said with a smile: "If you start a family here, marry a wife and have children, wouldn't it be in line with the 'happiness' we want to pursue?"
"Yes, yes." An Nan also smiled and said: "Is the other party good-looking?"
"Stop making fun of me." Banji's expression did not waver at all: "My happiness is for the young lady to be happy, and I have no other aspirations...and I have been with the Gospel for so many years, and I can't deceive the Gospel. At most
I can only cooperate with you."
As soon as they arrived at Fei Dengla, Ya Xiu and others immediately asked An Nan what was next on the list.
Although Igula himself thinks it's quite fun, for people like Ash, Liz, and Harvey who have no interest in intellectual games, "The Trick List" has really left a psychological shadow on them, and they will never let An Nan do it.
Opportunity to repeat old tricks.
But there was no need to hide the fourth list. An Nan directly told them the theme of the next fourth list: happiness.
If things were normal, Ash and the others would have no chance of making it onto this list.
Not even if they are migrant workers with countless possibilities.
After all, no matter how happy they are, they will never be as happy as Ephraim, Qina, and Mercury, the ruling class who control power and wealth. Although the Gospel hints that Ash and others will dominate the Gospel in the future, even so, the happiest ones will never be the same.
It's not Ash and the others, but Ash's children.
What could be happier than being born with a golden spatula in your mouth?
As for "rich people are not happy", that is a lie told by the rich to deceive the poor. After all, if people everywhere say that "being rich means being exposed to the sun", then sooner or later the poor will take advantage of the rich to hang street lamps.
However, under the premise that the future must be the end of the world, the definition of ‘happiness’ is different.
Happiness in the apocalypse is definitely not about power and wealth. After all, society has collapsed and everyone is precarious. What's the use of being powerful? Can you order takeaways? Can you gather eight people by killing the carp to the extreme?
So everyone quickly realized what the real definition of "happiness" here is: life.
If a group of people can support each other in the apocalypse, maintain a dignified life, and even have the same quality of life as before the apocalypse, then that will be the greatest happiness.
So An Nan did not rent a big house in the rich area of Fei Dengla. Instead, she rented a small house in a chaotic urban village. Ash slept four people in one bunk bed and she slept in one room with Liz in her arms. What she pursued was closeness.
The end of the world - In the gospel kingdom, the life of the poor is indeed the closest to the end of the world.
In order to better role-play the deceptive gospel, An Nan also set three rules: everyone must work for a better life; living expenses must come from labor income and cannot use savings; save as much as possible but do not affect the quality of life
.
It's not that An Nan doesn't want to give money, it's that her money is so useful. Just the bank interest from the Duolan family can make Ya Xiu and others live peacefully in Fei Deng La. They are happy, but they will definitely be
Eliminated by the gospel!
It was precisely because of these three rules that they ate almost nothing on the first day they arrived in Philippines. It was not until Harvey and Benji found jobs that they got on the right track.
"Liz," An Nan asked, "How are you studying?"
Everyone has to work, and Liz is different. Although she does not need to go out to work, she has to study the Gospels at home. The effect is naturally not as good as the 'customized' one in the education cabin, but at least the teaching materials in the Gospels are free and
It's professional and even provides homework exercises. It's definitely not bad to follow it, but it requires strong self-control.
"Everything, everything is fine..." Liz's tone flickered.
An Nan raised his eyebrows: "Let me see your homework evaluation."
"It's all really good——"
"Do not talk nonsense!"
The purple moth was still very majestic, so Liz had no choice but to open the gospel to the homework page, and turned it over to show An Nan. The eldest lady frowned: "How come you are so good at other homework, but you are so bad at math?"
Gospel feels that the mathematical thinking reflected in your homework has serious flaws, and suggests that you give up this coursework directly?"
"What!?" Ash was shocked, completely unable to believe this shocking fact: "Does the gospel really say that? It's impossible!?"
"Yes." An Nan blinked: "You care so much, do you usually help her with her homework? How could it be so bad?"
"I, I not only tutored..." Ya Xiu almost collapsed: "She said she was too lazy to do it, and I helped write her math homework..."
After a short silence, Harvey was the first to stand up: "I'm full, then I'm going to work."
"I'm full too."
"Ash, do you want me to help wash the dishes?"
"No need." Ash muttered, chewing on egg and bacon bread gloomily: "Although I graduated a few years ago, it's not like that..."
After the squad members left, An Nan went over and hugged Liz, and then hugged Ash from behind.
"Is this really going to happen?!"
"I'm the head of the family. I hug you before going out to give you more weight. Don't be ignorant!" An Nan hugged her and turned into a cross lock. She started making trouble with Asher early in the morning.
When they all went to work, Ash began to clear away the dishes and said, "We will start studying in half an hour."
"Okay!" Liz cheered: "Then let's play "Magician Duel 14"!
"Wait until I finish washing the dishes."
That's right, Ash's job is to be the security guard and nanny of his house.
There are two reasons for this: first, Liz can't be left alone at home, someone really has to be at home to watch; second, Ash can't go out and show his face at all.
Although you can change your appearance through makeup or even miracles, and An Nan and others do the same, the problem is that Ash's "distorted mask" is a permanent effect. No matter how he changes, he will always wear the mask.
You still wear a mask at work, and others will know you have a problem just by looking at onychomycosis, so Ash stayed at home honorably.
After washing the dishes and playing games with Liz, Ash began his official work.
Use the washing machine to wash clothes and dry them in the dryer, drag the ironing board to the sun, and iron the stickers one by one; sweep and mop the floor to clean the bathroom, use disinfectant to clean the toilet; clean the windows with a rag,
Make everyone's beds, take out the trash...
The above are all jobs done by stand-ins.
Ash sat next to Liz and urged her to study. He was also learning about virtual realms, magic factions, and knowledge creatures.
More than two hours later, when Liz turned to peek at him for the 13th time, Ash closed the gospel book and said, "Let's go out to buy something."
"yeah!"
Ash put on his hooded windbreaker and led Liz out of the residential building.
Although it is said to be a chaotic area, a certain order has been formed over the years, otherwise there would be no working environment for ordinary people. The area where they live now is also called the 'Salome District' because of the company responsible for maintaining order here.
It's Salome.
Hospitals, pet shops, restaurants, cafes, balance bike stores, grocery stores... these stores that may have been integrated into online shopping in other cities still have strong vitality in Feidenla.
Ash took Liz to the supermarket. The luxurious decoration inside was very modern and stylish. Obviously it was impossible to steal things here.
Passing by the snacks and desserts area, Ash covered Liz's eyes: "Don't look at it, don't look at it, we only have 73 coppers, we can't afford it."
Passing by the Lala Fat sales area, Liz covered Ash's eyes: "Don't look at it, don't look at it, we only have 73 coppers, we can't afford it."
After careful calculation and tasting, Ash and Liz returned home carrying large and small bags.
After eating a simple lunch, Ash dragged a carpet to the balcony and lay lazily on it with Liz.
When they woke up, it was almost three o'clock. Ash urged Liz to study quickly and let the substitute start processing the ingredients, while he lay down for a while.
At around 4 o'clock, Panji was the first to come back, and went to the kitchen to help as soon as he came back; then came Igula, whose fragrance lingered on his body, and must have defrauded many women of their money; followed closely by An Nan, who came back and ordered Ash to undress her.
Silk Stockings, extremely arrogant; Finally, Harvey came back covered in ashes and was driven directly to the bathroom to take a shower.
The noise in the residential building fell with the nightfall, and the poor-quality partitions did not affect the symphony of Fei Dengla at all. There were people drinking and making noise downstairs, and people wearing high-heeled boots upstairs. The lights on the opposite building also turned on, as if they were on one side.
Watching a movie and having a meal.
The dark forest of Fedenla is gradually getting brighter. Although it is not as good as Azura and Memphela, which are large cities that provide centralized lighting, the lights hidden in the houses can indeed make people feel warm.
The six mourners sat around the round table. After Harvey took a shower and sat down, An Nan said, "It's time to start dinner."
"Waiting for everyone to announce that dinner is ready" is a very important step. According to An Nan, this can increase their happiness index by 5%. But in Ya Xiu's opinion, this should be added by An Nan to emphasize that he is the head of the family.
of rituals.
This is the day of the funeral, and it may also be the most ordinary time after coming to the gospel. No one is chasing them for the time being, their personal safety is not restricted, and everyone is not as cautious as they were at the beginning... In the steaming heat of the soup,
Here, it seemed that even time had become gentler, and Ash felt like he was about to forget about the weaving ceremony, the wish of the God Lord, and the coming of the end.
Until the gospel suddenly pops up on its own.
The glowing bookmark announced a great news to everyone very strongly.
"Good news..." An Nan murmured: "Additional update!?"
