Chapter 200: Observations in the Library
When Dennis reached the first floor, he noticed that there were more third-class citizens here, and their clothes were much more respectable than his. However, the decor on this level was not as exquisite as the one upstairs.
The shelves were covered in dust, and all the windows and doors around were open. Vehicles and pedestrians passed by at all times, making it impossible to concentrate.
In A-series rules, there was a rule that lower-class citizens could not gather in enclosed spaces, so the first floor was designed to be semi-open.
Dennis took a closer look at the clothing of these third-class citizens. They all wore special badges, each representing the name of a first-class citizen.
This was stipulated in C-series rules.
Once you became a first-class citizen, you had the right to employ third-class citizens as your servants, but you were also responsible for their food, clothing, shelter, and even their sentences.
Those badges were proof of their servant status.
The janitors on the first floor did their cleaning perfunctorily, and the second-class citizens hardly ever came here to organize the books, so the task of tidying up the books also fell to the janitors.
The books on the shelves were misaligned and the pages were worn and dirty, yet many people still came to borrow them back and forth.
Dennis randomly picked up a book and flipped through it.
The books repeatedly mentioned a person named Constantine.
He was a billionaire whose family's daily income was equivalent to the whole Wapeng's monthly fiscal revenue in the past.
The book said he started by mining and set up an investment company. During the economic depression, Constantine decisively invested all his wealth in the development of intelligent robots.
Today, all of the Wapeng's intelligent robots were researched by Constantine. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
The success of smart technology allowed Constantine to ascend to the throne, and he established a comprehensive legal system and citizen hierarchy system, which completely eliminated war, greed, and selfishness in the Wapeng. After his death, he was revered as a deity.
Then everyone dedicated themselves to the Wapeng and worked together for a better future.
"What is this nonsense?"
Dennis frowned and shoved the book back into the shelf.
The entire book glorified the achievements of Constantine alone, without mentioning anyone else.
Who were the engineers who wrote the A.I algorithms?
Who were the designers of the robots?
Was Constantine alone worth all the designers, developers, and manufacturers' efforts just because he provided the funding? Couldn’t they also have a place in history?
As for that so-called citizen hierarchy system, isn't it just a tool for rulers to exploit and fool the lower-class citizens?
Dennis shook his head and continued browsing other shelves.
Most of the rest were novels, mostly about romance or fantasy adventures, or business stories starring Constantine as the protagonist.
Or it was some gossip about Constantine. Many people said that Constantine particularly loved stories, so he greatly encouraged everyone to write novels, saying, "Liking stories is an instinct carved into human genes."
Dennis felt that this was the only correct thing Constantine had ever said.
Because, the writing style of many novels in the library was very captivating. Dennis stood by the shelves reading, not even realizing he was hungry.
(You are too far away to see Da Luoshan anymore.)
(You take a detour, climb up to the wall base, the huge helmet making you somewhat conspicuous.)
(Just as you climb to the top of the wall, the bodyguard spots you.)
(They shout loudly and call the nearby police robots.)
(You are caught by the robots.)
(You cannot break free.)
(You terminate the deduction!)
"Hmm..."
Gu Yi furrowed his brows.
These bodyguards were watching too closely; I really couldn't handle them on my own.
If I use my skill to hypnotize them, it would only take three minutes before the nearby police robots detected me, and then I would still be unable to eavesdrop.
I should try another method.
(The deduction begins!)
(You hide in the space jump station in advance.)
(The supervisor sees you, curses, and kicks you out.)
(Da Luoshan happens to come in; he glances at you and slaps your face.)
(You feel dizzy.)
(When you wake up again, you find yourself lying in the casino, with a doctor treating you.)
(You terminate the deduction.)
As expected, Da Luoshan's combat power wasn't reduced; just a light slap from him could knock him unconscious.
The supervisor was always waiting by the door; if he so much as showed his head a little, he would be spotted by the supervisor.
Was there any way to sneak in under the eyes of so many people?
Gu Yi touched his nose and began to strategize again.
(The deduction begins!)
(You crouch by the door, listening to the supervisor's footsteps; he is about four meters from the door.)
(There is a fish tank in the middle of the hall. If you can fall behind the fish tank within one second, you can hide in the supervisor's blind spot, thus sneakily avoiding him unnoticed.)
(You use psychological suggestion on yourself to stimulate your body's potential.)
(You quickly rush in.)
