Chapter 270 The vacation is over

Homelessness has always been a big problem in Night City.

The latest economic crisis originated from the unification war launched by the new United States. This war destroyed Taiping Prefecture, a large number of investors withdrew their capital, companies ran away, leaving a land full of chicken feathers.

Because of the existence of Dog Town and the hopeless economic collapse, Mayor Lucius Lane faced this dilemma and came up with a proactive solution:

Directly exclude Taiping Prefecture's crime data and other statistical indicators from the Night City Statistical Yearbook.

It should be said that statistics is an art, and Mayor Lane has figured it out.

With this exclusion, the crime rate in Night City plummeted.

Now he will launch an even more important plan: eliminate homeless people!

Yes, what this policy wants to do is literally and literally eliminate homeless people.

This matter has become a point of heavy criticism from his opponent Peralez in the next mayoral election.

And if you want to understand this policy more comprehensively and eliminate related hidden dangers, you have to find this candidate Jefferson Peralez.

After checking the situation of the stronghold and understanding the income and expenditure, Lille and V set out on their way back.

Putting his hand on the window, V yawned again, showing a lack of interest: "Hey, why do I feel like I just took a ride."

"What if we have gunfights every day?"

The car started, Leal turned on the radio and tuned to the body temperature radio station, which was playing "Night City".

The electronic sound sounded, and V raised his eyebrows: "It's quite appropriate, so we are going to get involved in the mayoral election soon? It sounds like there is a lot of money to be made."

"This kind of thing usually involves more work and less money, and you may have to take the blame. Politicians are much more shady than you think."

"Can it be darker than you?"

Lear gave her a helpless look: "Can you change the comparison object?"

"There's nothing you can do about it. You are the most evil person I have ever seen. If we get involved, who will we help?"

"Tell me what you think."

"Me?" V thought for a while, "Holt is a stinky piece of shit, no one will choose him; Ryan is a sinister fat man, but he has indeed done some practical things.

Perapace. He sounds nice, but some people on the Internet say that he was introduced by military technology to make Night City independent and become beautiful. In the end, he is still a corporate dog.

What the company dog says is equivalent to farting.

That’s not right, I said, we seem to be a bit bloated, and we are talking about elections. "

In Night City, although there are elections, a special centralized democracy is implemented.

This kind of democracy consists of the ten largest giant corporations in Night City electing councilors and then electing the mayor.

In other words, from a direct perspective, the election actually has little to do with the citizens of Night City.

However, these are just superficial, and qualified politicians should be able to notice, because the requirements of this democratic condition are: the headquarters should be in Night City, and democracy should be implemented by the ten most powerful companies in Night City.

So in essence, the resources each company invests in Night City and its policies towards citizens will be fed back into data such as turnover, and then they will be given democratic rights.

Of course, considering the large scale of these enterprises and their great impact on society, the impact of citizens on democratic elections is still basically in a very delicate position.

It would not be wrong to say that it has little to do with the citizens.

Lille shook his head: "We are also big brothers now. If we are not qualified to participate, the people in Night City will really be just numbers.

So Ryan or Peralez? "

"It's as if I said a name and you picked it out for me--

I would choose Ryan. Considering my experience in Atlanta, I guess I have to thank Ryan. People like me can only make a name for themselves in Night City. "

"Who isn't?"

V glanced at Lille with a slightly strange look: "So humble?"

"That's necessary." Lear smiled, "If it weren't for the famous V, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"You know what's going on." V moved his butt with satisfaction and moved his chair back a little, "But it would be nice if he could be as decent as Peralez.

Alas, why can we only choose sides between the assholes? "

The car drove over the Santo Domingo Bridge and entered the Li Scenic Area. From here on, the light became more bright.

The company's tall buildings cover the sky, and artificial light sources replace the stars and moon, hanging overhead.

The music prelude ended and the electronic female voice sounded: "good morning, night city"

V relaxed and put his long legs on the front panel of the car——

Leal glanced at it, and the robotic arm put her legs back.

"what!"

"It's fine if you don't wear a seat belt, but you still engage in dangerous actions?"

"You are so lenient"

Early the next morning, Lear and V went to Mrs. Wells' house to find Jack--

The boy's face was glowing red, which made Lear suspicious: "Jack, didn't you do some awesome Thursday last night?"

"What an awesome Thursday, it's Wild Wolf Beer Festival!"

In Jack's garage, the big man patted his motorcycle.

This is an ARCH Nazaré, painted in red and black.

"You're in such a good mood?" V exclaimed, "What did you do besides drinking yesterday?"

"Hey~" Jack waved his hand with a proud look on his face, and turned to one side to "inadvertently" reveal the hangings on the wall behind the bed.

This hanging ornament looks like a circle made of some kind of branches. A net is wound around the circle with thin wires. Colored beads and dyed colored feathers are hung under the circle.

Very delicate jewelry, you can tell at a glance that it is handmade.

When Leal saw this thing, he raised his eyebrows: "Dream catcher?"

"I'm going to know the goods, Hemano, how do you know this is the dream catcher Misty gave me?"

Jack chuckled and hugged Lear: "It looks good, only good dreams will pass through this net and flow down the feathers, while nightmares will be trapped in dreams.

With the sunshine of the next day, it disappeared into ashes ~ bang. "

As he spoke, he held up his other hand, placed it in the sun, and blew on it.

I have to say, Jack really looks like a kid showing off his toys.

It can be seen that the big man was indeed not drunk yesterday, and he and Misty went for a little drive.

Jack hugged Lear: "Good brother, you should also think about this, otherwise you will make so much money."

Jack suddenly got stuck mid-sentence. Lille seemed to be a loser.

V was right behind the two of them, watching the two people exchange feelings: "The things are good, but we should discuss the future work."

Jack let go of Lear and scratched his head: "Indeed, what are you going to do next?"

Leal said: "Let's go meet our mayoral candidate Peralez, he may have a job for us.

After the meeting, I thought about how to proceed. I guessed that the candidate had a lot to say to us. "

Jack sat on his motorcycle and said:

"Mayoral candidates have these three clichés on the streets: First, the first rule when taking on a 'top secret' mission: Don't take it."

V also shrugged: "Second, the first rule of cooperation with politicians: don't cooperate."

The two looked at each other and said the third rule in unison: "Third, the first rule of contact with the police: don't contact."

V added: "But we have more sinister people here."

Jack also nodded: "This job will be very fat, right?"

Lear's face was full of black lines: "No, you guys misunderstood me a little."

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

"." Lier seemed to be choked, but he quickly moved on to the next topic.

"It's hard to say whether he's fat or not. You'll know when you see him, but I guess he will inevitably have to deal with companies and gangs on this trip, so he can find a way to make a fortune.

If you have no objections, I will contact Peralez and see how I can get the next vote--

So, the holidays are over, no one has a problem, right? "

Jack showed his arms, full of energy: "Mano is a must!"

V looked at Jack and Lear, who were full of energy, and suddenly asked: "I feel less energetic recently than before. Do you have any clues?"

"Lack of motivation?" Jack wondered, "There's something wrong with you, sister. Do you have a house? Do you have a car? And..."

Lear raised his hand to signal Jack to stop talking, and looked at V: "It's okay, you will be motivated soon."
