They will gather at Kanako’s yacht sports facility at eight o’clock in the evening, meeting on a cruise called "Joy."
Farosa deliberately concealed the fact that she sent out invitations, determined to cause chaos when Xu Yang was most complacent.
The "Joy" cruise, Farosa intends to turn it into a cruise of despair.
Kanako and Xu Yang were both absent; naturally, they wanted to keep energy for themselves, waiting for tonight’s grand party. Meanwhile, Farosa strolled casually in the Xisheng Grand Hotel observing the brand-new Jialong Slope.
A Dancing Girl Witch named Rosa came to greet Farosa; she had a graceful figure, beautiful looks, and her attire was far from decent. Farosa immediately knew from her appearance that she had extensive life experiences and had met more than one man.
Xu Yang must deal with such witches in Jialong Slope every day. Considering this, Farosa felt even more annoyed, though she did not show it.
"Hello," Farosa said indifferently.
"Welcome to the Xisheng Grand Hotel! I’m the hotel manager, Rosa~" said Rosa in a pleasant voice, "You are a distinguished guest from the Northern Archipelago! It’s a pleasure to have you here! I will be fully in charge and accompany you throughout your stay at Jialong Slope."
"Take me to dine," Farosa commanded.
Dancing Girl Witch Rosa was very adept in her reception skills; she humbly led the way for Farosa. Facing the flawless etiquette trained by the highest company protocols, Farosa had nothing to criticize and followed leisurely.
"This is the buffet restaurant, most private rooms are soundproof, and all meals are free~ Of course, for distinguished guests like you, we have also prepared the highest standard of food," Rosa explained warmly.
Farosa, Rosa, Sally, Lila. Farosa pondered. The names in our social circle indeed overlap each other.
She noticed that every waiter wore meticulously tailored suits with barcodes on one side of their cheeks.
"Why do they have barcodes on their faces if they are not robots?" Farosa inquired.
"The best service naturally involves trading humans as commodities too. Anyone who likes our trained waiters can place an order and take them away, the price won’t exceed 10 million, which is very cost-effective," Rosa explained with ease.
"How wonderful. Even selling oneself to a company merely amounts to a few million lifetime value, and now it can be paid off at once here, avoiding the daily and yearly repetition," Farosa appreciated.
"Yes, and no need to worry about their personal safety. Jialong Slope enforces the world’s strictest law. Among all the corporate cities worldwide, the legal severity of Jialong Slope absolutely ranks at the top, ensuring that all citizens are absolute pacifists~" Rosa smiled.
"I like it here, I really like it here. So, does this mean you execute criminals collectively?" Farosa was satisfied. Nestor Corporation is too gentle towards humans, fostering many arrogant and self-important emotions; Jialong Slope’s standards are just right.
"Led by Kanako Xisheng, we often deal with criminals by life sentences or death penalties, prohibit personal illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, forbid stamps, violent injuries, even littering, smoking, and jaywalking are not allowed. The highest degree of law is enforced, personally contributed to by Kanako herself," Rosa informed Farosa.
Crime rate is extremely low, business rules are crucial, social stability is extremely solid—no wonder Jialong Slope has thrived in this economically turbulent era, who wouldn’t like to run here? Farosa nodded silently.
"Are mystical disasters rare too?" Farosa observed.
The harmful aura of this city is faint, and supernatural influences are very limited. If the pollution level in the Northern Archipelago is about 15%, Jialong Slope is only 1%.
"Even purchasing, downloading, and storing those taboo contents is illegal; we would immediately dispose of or expel such persons. Currently, everyone is eagerly anticipating to qualify for residency after the ’observation period’ of 7–10 years, converting into Jialong Slope citizens, hence everyone tends to behave diligently, especially foreigners. Jialong Slope doesn’t lack people, if you don’t respect the law here, you just have to leave," Rosa explained with a smile.
"You really like Jialong Slope," Farosa could easily detect slight changes in Rosa, and also listen to some heartfelt whispers.
"I was born in the Taiya Archipelago... my respected lady, that is a lawless human hell where men talk with bullets, women survive by selling themselves, no matter the gender, everyone lives under the dominance of Black Fire Innovation. Perhaps there are many undesirable aspects of Jialong Slope, but to me, this is the place I would like to spend the rest of my life," Rosa sighed.
Farosa dined on the balcony with a good view, while also looking outward.
Truly prosperous, truly unique. Jialong Slope, with high-rise buildings of countless new companies and many renowned technology enterprises and financial companies announcing offices here.
Farosa, resting her chin in hand, found it very intriguing.
Humans as numerous as ants, presumably living honest lives under harsh laws, implanted from childhood with chips that enhance memory and critical thinking skills, convenient for solving math problems and then being enrolled in renowned private schools, going through numerous major exams to obtain certificates, and finally joining one of the famous companies in Jialong Slope with their faces glowing.
The rest of their lives then become a race, trying to complete before death the payment of their houses, vehicles, implants, and marriage loans. Signing line after line of contracts, selling not just one’s labor during life but also trading post-mortem bodies, selling oneself and one’s descendants, in the meantime embellishing one’s life to make it a bit more bearable, striving all-out to balance happiness with pain. Oh, Jialong Slope offers everything a normal person could dream of, methodically creating an error-free path for the weak, and once failed, one can only take the lower level accommodated route, if deviated, will be severely punished by the law...
