Umbrella Corporation - Chapter 399

c-1 Life on developed planets

What is life like on a developed planet of the Plane Union Organization?

With an extremely convenient living environment, the barriers between regions are eliminated. Traveling to distant areas is as convenient as going out to a nearby park…

Eating, drinking and having fun are all perfectly assisted by machines. The comfort level of human life is better than that of the capitalists in the past.

No one is short of money. Everyone’s worries are just the solutions to problems encountered in learning and the competition in the increasingly mature competitive system.

People’s meals will be carefully prepared by people who like to cook, or produced by robots.

Those who like DIY can also freely match and combine through intelligent programs, and the hands-on work is completely handed over to the machine.

Richer families can also customize a table of delicious food in high-end restaurants, take out the meals through the transmission device, and then send the finished tableware back through the transmission device.

They don’t worry about cleaning and hygiene. The developed medical system is one reason, but also because the robots are the ones who clean the dishes. They are dedicated and will not be lazy.

Of course, in addition to food, the teleporter can also deliver a variety of things, such as small commodities purchased online, gifts given by friends…

Richer families can also buy large teleporters that can teleport cars and people to public teleportation points, so that they can reach the place they want to go in an instant at home.

At this time, cars are more of a collectible and a leisure product for experiencing road life.

Every company has a teleporter to pick up and drop off employees to and from work. The cost of transportation in the factory has been compressed to the extreme. In addition, there is no shortage of money in society, so the salary of employees can be fully guaranteed.

People don’t even need to work, and can get a steady stream of incentive funds based on their skills and hobbies.

For example, if a person does not want to work and wants to play music, the intelligent algorithm of the public platform will issue an incentive fund based on the person’s technical level and progress. If you want to earn more money to buy what you want, you need to perform.

Voluntary performances on the street can get incentives, and recorded videos sent online can also get incentives based on data.

If you want to study various ideas and mysterious knowledge, you can also get part of the incentive by publishing papers or participating in online discussion meetings.

This is an era with extremely rich material and spiritual conditions, so rich that the class differences of human beings have completely disappeared.

The rich can not work, and ordinary people can not work either. There is not much difference in living standards between the two. If you want to travel to beautiful places, you can use cheap teleportation devices to go there.

Even if you go to the moon or remote areas such as Mars and Jupiter, you don’t need to spend too much money.

They can even travel to the planets of alien civilizations that have established diplomatic relations in the Marvel world, exchange local currency, and buy some specialties.

The spiritual abundance makes people no longer superficially evaluate a person by money. With the optimization of the body by strengthening technology, it is difficult for deformed and abnormal ugly people to appear in the world.

They can recognize people who are suitable for each other through communication, and after combining, they can give birth to a large family at no cost.

This is a great era, an era of crazy pursuit of spiritual abundance.

Without repression, anyone can do what they like, even if they want to vent violence, they can do it in a formal and legal way.

For example, by applying, they can go to the octagonal cage and beat their heads and bleed.

Professional medical teams can revive people who have been dead for no more than 10 minutes.

Or go to hell and fight the devil face to face, or simply play a holographic image game with super high realism.

If it is a perverted hobby, such as Fury control, it will not work, because the law strictly prohibits excessive perversion and excessive entertainment!

Everyone must find something they want to do, no matter what it is, and they cannot always be in low-quality entertainment.

High-quality entertainment can improve people and thoughts, such as reading, learning, and sports, which are actually hobbies.

One person’s shyness belongs to the lower level of entertainment, because it has no benefits other than happiness, just like taking drugs, which can only bring pure happiness without any additional content.

The shyness of two people is an exception, because that is interaction, and interaction can bring some improvement in communication skills, but it still belongs to the lower-end entertainment.

If you keep doing low-end entertainment and don’t work, the amount of social subsidies will continue to decrease until it is gone.

If you don’t even understand how to play and don’t go to work, then such people really don’t need to exist in society.

Even if you perform performance art on the street, you can get a certain amount of incentive money. So in the current human civilization, people are liberated from production and enter the wave of ideological progress.

In the current world, full-time journalists have become a job to find fun.

In Raccoon City, one of the world’s centers, a blonde reporter with big waves let a camera drone follow her and went to the street to conduct a happiness survey.

The degree of freedom is very high, so the reporter used a relatively novel interview method.

She walked to the street and saw a person leaning against a telephone pole. She walked over, bent down, stretched out the microphone, and asked: “Excuse me, are you happy?”

“Ah?” The homeless young man leaning against the telephone pole suddenly saw someone approaching and was stunned for a moment.

“Excuse me, are you happy?” The reporter asked again with a smile.

The homeless youth reacted this time and said excitedly: “Want to fight me in the octagonal cage?”

“Ah?”

“Only when I am on the verge of death can I feel happy. Come on, I won’t fight back… Don’t go!”

After chasing and escaping for a hundred meters, the young man sat under another electric pole.

The female reporter was still looking for the target of the interview. Suddenly, she saw a family of three shopping in front of her and hurried over.

She handed the microphone to the family of three and asked: “Excuse me, can I interview you?”

The man wearing sunglasses smiled, “Why not?”

“Are you happy?” The female reporter was lucky to meet a normal person, but for some reason, she always felt that the person in front of her was familiar.

The man pondered for a moment, then smiled and looked at the woman next to him who was also wearing sunglasses that covered most of her face, revealing only a pair of sexy red lips. “Of course, my life has never been unhappy since the moment it changed.”

“Your daughter is very cute, and your wife is also very beautiful. What an enviable family!”

The reporter raised his eyebrows and complimented.

The man turned his head again, looked at her, and asked, “What about you, Susan?”

“Uh…” Susan, who was still holding the microphone, was stunned. She didn’t remember saying her name. Her brain seemed to be hammered by this rhetorical question, and suddenly a lot of memories popped up.

She stared at the man in front of her in a daze, and the memories of the past decades suddenly surged, causing her face to slowly show a hesitant and shocked expression.

“Old… Boss?”

Duncan reached out and pulled down his sunglasses, blinked at Susan who was stunned, and then straightened his sunglasses again.

Although it was a little joke with an old acquaintance who hadn’t seen for many years, Susan’s reaction caught him off guard.

Susan rushed over, hugged him, and buried her head in Duncan’s casual suit. If you listen carefully, you can hear a slight sob.

Duncan glanced at his legitimate wife beside him nervously and found that she was smiling playfully. Then he lowered his head and saw the same playful expression in his daughter’s eyes, as if she had discovered an adult’s incredible secret.

He smiled awkwardly at the two of them silently, then patted Susan’s back a few times, “Okay, don’t be like this, I’m a married man now.”

“Ah, I’m just too excited!”

After hearing this, Susan let go of her old boss’s body in disappointment. The tears on her face did not mess up her makeup. After all, few people use cosmetics now.

After taking two deep breaths, she formally answered the previous question, “Well, Boss, I’m very happy, thank you! Thank you for everything you have done for us!”

After leaving Umbrella that year, she was assigned some not-so-hard gilding jobs, but after doing it for a while, she felt bored.

Like most people who have money, she left Raccoon City and traveled around the world. During this time, she witnessed the changes in the world under the hands of her former boss. Finally, she returned here and found what she really wanted to do in her extended life.

Susan never thought that she would see Duncan again, nor did she think that Duncan would remember her after such a long time. This made her feel flattered, and at the same time, she said what she wanted to say a long time ago, thank you.

“Thank you, I am glad to accept it. I think I can still afford it.”

Duncan seemed very confident, but he had more important things to do. He hugged Alice, who had been silent, and said with a smile: “Although I still want to chat with you, today is a special day. I have to accompany my wife to the moon to watch Michael Jackson’s concert.”

“Well, boss, take care!”

Saying goodbye to the old acquaintance he met unexpectedly, Duncan took Alice and their daughter, Harley Aremus, to the shared transmission device.

Alice’s damaged and confused memory was repaired a long time ago, but she never said anything and always maintained this state. In the end, the fake marriage became a real marriage.

She felt that the feeling now was great. Today was their wedding anniversary and also Harley’s birthday.

Although Duncan never cared much about such days, now that he was free and semi-retired, he could still hold a private event in a showy way.

For example, like ordinary people, he went to the star port from the public transmission device, took a passenger spacecraft to the moon city, and attended the concert of the first cosmic superstar Michael Jackson in person.

“Actually, I don’t mind you talking for a while. Such an encounter is rare.” While walking, Alice took Duncan’s left hand, put her lips painted with red lipstick close to his ear, and spoke as if blowing into his ear, which made people itchy.

Harley, who was held by her right hand, rolled her eyes. Although she was only six years old, in fact, children nowadays are much smarter than children in the past, and they know a little bit about everything.

This is how mom and dad usually act when they are at home, forgetting about her and always talking nonsense together.

Duncan blushed and said righteously, “I won’t leave you two alone to take care of myself. You’d better leave quickly. It will be bad if you miss me.”

After that, they quickened their pace and soon arrived at the transmission device. After entering one of the small transmission devices, they set the destination, confirmed their identity cards, and finally a blue light flashed, and the three of them appeared at the Lagrange Point Starport outside the earth.

There was still half an hour before the sightseeing ship to the moon arrived. There was still some time. Duncan took Alice and Harley to the amusement area, put Harley in the zero-gravity room, and played space wars with other children.

After playing for half an hour, the three entered the spacecraft. After reminiscing about history in various artificial areas around the moon and some satellite debris floating in space, they landed on the largest city on the moon, Moon 1.

Michael Jackson’s concert was held outside the city of Moon 1. For this concert, the engineering team that undertook the business spent a lot of money to build an isolation shield outside the moon.

And the chairs prepared were all suspended platforms. There were only about 200,000 spectators who could come to the scene. More people could only meet their idols through the metaverse.

Everyone in this world may be short of money, but Duncan is not.

So although their position is not the closest to the stage, it has the best experience.

After all the audience entered, cheers were heard.

A well-deserved genius in music, Michael Jackson created more excellent works after his life was extended.

However, the first song of this moon concert is still a classic from decades ago. Even now, such a classic will not be outdated.

“Billie Jean”

There is no need to wait for the music to sound. Michael Jackson, wearing a black jacket with white lining and unruly hairstyle, stood on the stage, and the fanatical screams and the enthusiasm of fans kept pouring towards him.

Amid the cheers of the people, he always stood firmly until the music sounded, and the dynamic and unique dance steps were displayed.

Every move can attract countless cheers. No one can resist the charming music and Michael Jackson!

“She was more like a beauty queen from a movie se…”

In the end, even Duncan couldn’t help cheering for Michael Jackson. His emotions infected Alice and Little Halle, and they laughed and screamed and shouted together.

The hemispherical concert was filled with cheers from the crowd. If there were no guardrails, they would surely gather around the edge of the stage to cheer for the man on the stage.

Many people even fainted on the spot due to excessive excitement, but soon woke up under the stimulation of the electric current of the life support system and continued to cheer for their idols.

Duncan waved his hands excitedly and danced to the rhythm. Occasionally, he would even imitate Michael Jackson’s movements or sing along.

After the song ended, he hugged Alice beside him and kissed her because his emotions had not subsided for a long time.

He also did not forget to share the rain and dew equally, picked up little Harley and kissed her on the cheek.

Alice licked her lips, and with some amusement, she held Harley in her arms and continued to watch the concert on the stage.

There is no happier day than now!
