Section 18 Another role
There are two common problems in making too large plans: 1. Lack of short-term benefits and loss of patience, 2. Too much focus on short-term interests and forget the original purpose

"Who were you in the original world?"
In the process of Zhou Yingxiong's test, Wang Luo asked Yang Wentian like this.
"Me? Students, students who have not yet graduated. ”
"How did you get in?"
"I slept in a daze that day, and I had a dream. In my dreams, someone asked me if I wanted to play, and I said, 'Okay'. When I woke up, I was here. What about you? ”
"I'm a big otaku." Wang Luo said.
"Che, there are also a lot of people among my classmates who call themselves otaku. They play from morning to night, winter to summer, and they don't go out once. Do you too? ”
"The type may be different... I like to stay at home, I don't want to deal with other people, and I have worked after graduation, but I am always annoyed and tired, and I just quit in the end. ”
"For seven or eight years, it was like that. According to some people, isn't this the standard otaku? ”
"Huh! I'm a dick, a house, no job, no money, ordinary appearance, can't please women, poor social adaptability, and I'm old.... Call! ”
"Although, I'm still smart. Although, the books I read, the education I received, and the history I studied still allowed me to understand what it means to be human as a group. I can throw bait to drive them crazy, I can lay out a big picture to get them to act according to my plan. All of them are just dolls in the palm of my hand. ”
"And my purpose is not to fool them, not to cheat money from them, I can't do that. All I can do is save them from the catastrophe of turning into zombies, and that's the only thing I can do. ”
"My heart is still clean. Cleaner than all of them. ”
At this time, Zhou Yingxiong finished singing for the first time. The woman ran over, turned on the tape recorder, and the two talked for a while, and then Zhou Yingxiong wrote something in the notebook.
Is this stimulated by something... Yang Wentian had Tang Xiaoxiao's appearance in his mind, and he didn't speak.
"I'm sorry, but the frustration, pain and sadness of an ugly man are not suitable for conversation."
... That's right. "And what are you going to do next?"
"As Philip introduced, we went to see the mayor. Further increase the pressure on the company. ”
"Does that have anything to do with what we're doing now?"
"Nope. But in the United States, mayors are not the same as TV station owners and gang leaders, and they will be more slow to respond. ”
"You're looking for a TV boss to further publicity, and you're looking for a gang leader to cause more chaos. I can understand all this, but looking for the mayor... The mayor is in collusion with the company. ”
"When a company is in danger, the word 'collusion' doesn't have much power. The mayor uses the company's money, and the company uses the mayor's power--- which is normally the case. It is not excluded that they collude more closely, but it doesn't matter. On the surface, at least, he needs to put on a show in the face of the protesters. ”
"Showmanship?"
"Yes, at least do some inspection of Ambrera's facilities." Wang Luo stretched out the index finger of his right hand and tapped it in the air. "An underground lab is a good place to be."
"Let Ambrera open the hive? Open their underground labs for the government to inspect? ”
"Let the people who are mad at the temptation of gold go to check."
"That's Ambrera Corporation, aren't you afraid they're turning the citizens into zombies?"
"Odds are... No. ”
When he said this, Wang Luo also hesitated. "Because in the process, it's innocent."
"Wait... In the original story, the citizens did nothing bad, but they were turned into zombies by the virus developed by Ambrera; And now, these citizens are robbing Ambrera everywhere, trying to steal gold from them, and you say they'll be fine? ”
"It's better than doing nothing to survive."
"Can you elaborate on that?"
"Sorry, it's not the time yet. Just stay here, let's get another car, now go to the mayor. Lao Zhou, the experiment will be left to you. The specific content is in these books.,Be careful.,Try to complete it all.。 ”
August 16, 1993 at 12:40 a.m
Meeting point: 7 km southeast of the Grizzly City Government Mayor's Office
"Philip has something to say to me? Why didn't he come himself? ”
In the city hall, after some talk, Mr. Mayor, who was so anxious in the protest that he had not eaten lunch, agreed to meet Wang Luo and Yang Wentian, who were introduced by Mr. Philip and wore clown masks. Of course, the attitude is certainly not very good.
"Mr. Philip is busy right now, and tonight's show will be even more sensational than yesterday's."
The mayor jumped. "What does he want to do? No one attacked the TV station yesterday, it was all a good show directed by himself, wasn't it? I'll send someone to arrest him right away! ”
"And today, evening newspapers and radio stations will make similar propaganda. If you can also do a little bit of bashing Ambrera, it will help with the approval ratings. ”
"You... Who are you? Say it! Do you need me to call security in? ”
"If you want, you can think of me as the main messenger of yesterday's TV incident."
The mayor's next action was to get the phone, but then it turned upwards and turned into a gesture of raising his hands high, so as not to cut himself with the blade of Yang Wentian's knife.
"Well, I surrender. What do you want? It's all negotiable..."
"I know you have a lot of work with Ambrera. Now, they're in trouble, and I want to make their trouble a little bit bigger and need your cooperation. ”
As he spoke, Wang Luo took out a box of money from his side.
There was not much money, only half a box was packed, which was less than for TV station bosses and gang leaders. And there is no gold either.
"What do you need me to do?" Mr. Mayor has no sincerity and just wants to get out of trouble.
"It won't be too much, it won't cause you trouble, it won't take you too much effort."
"Give Ambrera a call and tell them that arranging a visit to the underground experimental center will help set the record straight. Yes, it's the hive. The time is set for the day after tomorrow, at eight o'clock in the morning of the 18th. Then, whether the company says yes or not, you have to reassure the people and tell them that you have made a great effort to set the record straight. ”
The mayor's expression changed from a smirk of "I'll say yes to anything, just want to get out" to the kind of look at his opponent that politicians often have. "That's all? What do you want? ”
"That's all." Wang Luo pushed the box containing the money over. "We'll take care of the rest ourselves. If you think about it, no matter how much Ambrera supports you, if this happens, if you stand with them, it will be difficult to continue to be mayor; If I were from that company, I would have someone else to support me. For example, the current police chief, he is also very close to the company..."
"Will you support me if I do what you ask me to do?"
"As long as you're good enough. This is the United States, and there are thousands of companies, each with their own interests. Being too close to one of them is not the way of a smart person. ”
"So, so be it."
Yang Wentian put away the knife, and the two walked out.
"Say a few words to him?" After getting into the car, Yang Wentian asked. "You seem to be giving him a little less money. It took a lot of effort for us to get into his office. ”
"These people are people who will act when they see the benefits." Wang Luo picked up the pen and wrote something in a new notebook. "If I ask the gang boss to rob Ambrera, he'll be suspicious. And if I don't say anything, he has more than a 90% chance of taking advantage of the situation to rob; Television stations, newspapers, and radio stations will definitely report on this incident, because if they don't report this, they will lose their views, and there is no reason to ask the company for money. ”
"It's a different story for the mayor. If I ask for it, he will do it. Because this is beneficial to Ambrera, a clarification can calm down many rumors and temporarily reassure the people. For the mayor, it not only fulfilled my request, but also sold a favor to the company. Why didn't he do it? ”
"So he's not worth much, and he doesn't need to give much?" Yang Wentian took out a bottle of Coke and took a sip. "We can go to that lab too."
"That's going to be talked about then." Wang Luo took off his mask. "There should be a lot of danger over there. Today's work is almost over. Let's go find Lao Zhou. When the experiment is complete, go back to the hotel to rest. ”
