Chapter 4: The Greedy World (8)

As far as Suo Zhongwu can see, most North Americans have been involved in a trend of thought: the transformation of the human body should not be subject to any restrictions, and scientific development should not be hindered. "People have the right to choose their appearance and heart. It is a sacred right bestowed by our Lord."

As for those people who are cautious and think that there is no need to perform a full knife on their bodies, regardless of their educational background, they are all scolded as old-fashioned and red-necked.Some scholars who have been attacked are even forced to file lawsuits against Internet trolls, and the lawsuit is protracted.

"Zhuge Zuotian" is a supporter of human body modification, and has also denounced the "cautious faction" online.But he is relatively mild, only occasionally @ a few opponents, at most he choked with people for an hour, instead of blowing up his hair at the touch of some accounts, and cursing for a few days as if he had money.However, the "Planet Online" player group he is in has no shortage of these humanoid self-propelled guns, which not only tear apart the player group, but also frequently form groups to go out on expeditions.

Suo Zhongwu tracked down the friends of "Zhuge Zutian" and unearthed several large-scale online battles, half of which have not yet ended.He found that users of "large-scale virtual online games" are indeed the loudest and strongest supporters of body modification. Some people have simply become product spokespersons, jumping from users to the middle level of game companies.

This phenomenon is not difficult to understand. Except for light players who only seek leisure, most users are eager to be higher, faster and stronger in the game in order to get a more exciting experience.Transformation measures such as intelligent prostheses and implants happen to be able to meet these needs perfectly.

In addition, the large-scale games in this world are undoubtedly fashion leaders.Science fiction, fantasy, medieval, steampunk, space opera......Countless copies have come out of countless shapes, stimulating people's vision all the time.Many players, especially those wealthy players who have money and leisure, like to maintain the same shape in life and games, using artificial organs, intelligent prostheses, semi-mechanical transformations, etc. to give themselves a cool appearance, turning their lives into advanced COSPLAY .

The attitude of game players is that simple.However, the motives of another group of massive supporters are very interesting.Suo Zhongwu deliberately turned over corners that the public would not care about, such as the job postings that were posted in the cracks of advertisements, and dug up a lot of information that was extremely scary.

In the past two years, when recruiting new employees, many bosses have specially added the clause "Person with experience in orthopedic transformation is preferred."The coverage of these recruitment notices is very large, ranging from financial traders who need to process a large amount of data to construction workers with extremely high muscle requirements. It can be said that blue-collar and white-collar workers are exhausted.

The idea of ​​bosses is not hard to guess at all. They just want more efficient employees and get more returns with less wages.In North America, where the unemployment rate has been rising year after year, these guys completely occupy the buyer's market, and there is no need to worry about no one applying.But everything has two sides. If people have to remodel their bodies in order to find formal jobs with stable incomes, the cost of raising a family will undoubtedly increase greatly.

[First use the media to brainwash the proud people under the Stars and Stripes, and then quietly set the standards when recruiting.If I'm not wrong, the big bosses must have a counter-attack.It should be here—it really is here]

Suo Zhongwu endured the discomfort and began to actively embrace the pop-up advertisement.He searched carefully in the cowhide moss all over the screen, and within a short while, he found what was expected:

There are already more than ten commercial banks in North America that have launched "Rubicon" loans similar to student loans to help poor job-seekers do their jobs.This kind of loan is divided into several grades. The lowest grade is very easy to apply, and it does not even require North American citizenship. However, the top three grades require a diploma from a community college or higher.

High-end loans correspond to high-end surgeries and can provide highly versatile VIP-level interfaces.If the borrower realizes the "North American Dream", he can change the prosthesis at will, and dress himself up like a rich man.However, the low-end loans generally only provide cheap single-purpose interfaces. Borrowers can only install non-entertainment bodies such as direct connectors for construction machinery, direct connectors for data reading and storage, etc., and they are stuck in the hell of monotonous work day and night.

At present, human body modification has just become a trend, and this damned recruitment standard has not been fully rolled out in North America. Fortunate little white-collar workers like "Zhuge Zuotian" can still travel for a while.But the big bosses will sooner or later win the two houses of political participation and find a strong support for their greed.In the future, the salaried workers, I am afraid that they will not even have to do the social animals, they can only be forced to become biochemical robots one by one, 996 and even 007 fight for the North American dream.

Maybe someone will succeed, but most people will be drained of bone marrow.If they are unlucky and run into layoffs, and they are unable to continue repaying their loans, they have to go to the streets to wander around.At that time, military security companies will definitely be happy. They can draw hundreds of desperate unemployed people with only a blank check. They will "voluntarily" sign contracts to accept military-purpose human reconstruction surgery, and then hundreds of thousands. Go to the battlefield to die.

"..."

Seeing this well-designed combination boxing, Suo Zhongwu couldn't help feeling cold in his hands and feet, and couldn't stop sneering.If capitalists play this way in the fossil energy era, society will definitely collapse in a few decades, regardless of whether the rich and the poor are all gone.But this world has achieved nuclear fusion, and there is no need to worry about the energy crisis for the time being, let alone those endless entertainment methods, enough to divert the attention of most people.

By the time the big bosses are trying to find out, most of the middle-income groups in this country will become ignorant and ignorant.Low-income groups will fight, but 80% of them will be scattered like in the early 21st century, and will be dispersed by Uncle Sam’s whip.

Rebellion-failure, failure-resistance.The contradiction will continue to sharpen in this cycle, until more and more people cannot bear it.The big bosses' response methods will become more and more cruel, until the two sides must fight to the death, and then drag other countries into the water.

[Maybe, this is how World 9 ended?I was sent to the past by the space station ruins, a second before this world slipped into the abyss?

Suo Zhongwu tapped the center console lightly with his fingers, feeling that he had reached the edge of the truth. But he didn't dare to draw conclusions now, that would be too rash.
