Until the silent bell dissipated, and the slow movements of the many idols came to an end.

The city, which had been stagnant for a moment, was back in motion..... It's like a river that briefly stagnates and freezes, and in an instant it roars and flows again. It was as if the previous stagnation was just a fleeting illusion. At this time, Delphinium reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the city below.

「.... What's that?"

The delphinium looked at Russell. Her eyes finally flashed with a sense of freshness, anticipation, and curiosity that satisfied Russell...... It's like when Russell first came to Happiness Island, he was also shocked by it.

Russell smiled and asked, "What do you mean?" Bell? Idol? Or are these folks?" "It's all there."

Delphinium added, "Why don't you start from the beginning?

"Those two..... Doctor? Are they Sogo academics? And what is the etiquette?" "They're not scholars."

Russell shook his head, "They're the human directors of the Sogo Group." 「..... Director? Such an old director?"

The delphinium was surprised.

Having seen the board of directors of Tianen Group with his own eyes, Delphinium now understands ...... The ostensibly "hand-picked" human directors are little more than tools for the elves to fool the dragons.

That's why human directors change so often..... As soon as they reach retirement age, they will be "forced to retire".

But the two old men looked like they were at least sixty or seventy years old. It's not a question of retirement anymore, it's about dying at any time. It's time to retire.

"Because strictly speaking, they're not directors..... Rather, he was rehired by the group as a "doctor."

Russell looked down at the land, looked at the huge statues of gods everywhere in the streets and alleys with some nostalgia, and whispered, "Of course, they must also have Ph.D. degrees. But in fact, this title refers to their identity, that is, the "Dr. Zamby" of the Zanbai Society.

"He Tianen Group..... Or rather, it's different from the other Big Seven. When people work in the Sogo Group, they don't call it "work" or "going to work", but rather "learning".

"'I'm going to study at the company after dinner,' and 'I'm going to study at the company this weekend,' that's what I'm usually called. But only the Sogo Group is exceptional..... Other companies, large and small, are working normally.

"The reason why I say this is because there are often high-intensity exams in the Sogo Group." 「..... Exams?"

Delphinium was stunned: "Do you take the exam in the interval between work?"

Russell smiled, "No, it's a fixed day every week to take the exam...... It is said that it is an exam, but in fact, it is to write a work report, experience and so on. Of course, there are papers and questions, but generally speaking, they are also less complicated questions. According to the one-year, three-year, five-year, and ten-year ..... of entering the company The difficulty of answering the questions will also vary, and the longer you stay, the more difficult it becomes.

"Because the style of the Sogo Group is 'promotion at the top, elimination at the end'. If you want to blend in with the head office, you can breathe a sigh of relief...... This kind of bastard will never be able to stay in the Sogo Group. He couldn't pass the year-end assessment in the first year - the annual comprehensive evaluation will weed out a group of lazy people. Have you learned the skills that the company needs and trained after entering the company, have you forgotten what you have learned before, and have you continued to study in your spare time......

"There is very little overtime in the Sogo Group. At least compared to Tian'en Group, Shenzhi Heavy Industries, and Thotronics, it is relatively small..... As far as I know, the average employee works 10 hours a day, five days a week, and half a day for exams."

"That's very little, indeed."

Delphinium nodded approvingly, "I can even sleep enough every day."

"It's not that simple. Because every day after work, or in the spare time when work is relatively brisk, or during the lunch break, I have to read and study. There is no requirement for the content of the study, and it is generally recommended to be related to your work or to think about it

The position to be promoted and transferred is related, but it doesn't matter if it's really unrelated - the doctors can be said to be well-read, and they can always give them papers."

Russell leisurely said, "The four examinations in each month will be combined into one monthly examination, and the results are related to their work results, daily attendance, and the average score of the four papers. If the test score is in the top 10% of the same salary scale and the same batch, then the score can be evaluated this month; 10% to 40% is good, 40% to 60% is bad, 60% to 90% is bad, and the last 10% is failing.

"Every time you accumulate three evaluations, your salary will increase by one level, and a three-level increase is a promotion; The good is unchanged, and the bad is that the evaluation will be revoked once. The big difference is that every three times you accumulate to fail, and you will be expelled if you accumulate two failures in your career—the mark of [fail] cannot be erased."

「.... That's too much pressure, isn't it?"

Delphinium was stunned: "Doesn't this mean that you have to be in the top 40% every time? And it's a ranking system...... In other words, someone will be eliminated, right?"

"Yes. There will be people who will be eliminated, and there will be a lot of them - entering the Sogo Group does not mean that they can relax from now on, it is precisely because of this pressure that they will continue to improve. Sogo Group's motto is 'everything is for the better', and if you can't keep up, you will be 'released' by the company.

"When they leave the company, they are usually the best people in the market, so they are in high demand. But almost without exception, as long as they leave the company, within a few years, they will be with their original colleagues

There is a huge gap between them.

"That's why Sogo itself is seen as 'the next school after college'. The human directors of the group are not responsible for all kinds of affairs in the first place..... Their main responsibility is to produce papers."

Russell looked at Delphinium with a wicked smile: "If you were in Sogo Island, you would have been fired from the company a long time ago. Because you can't handle the pressure."

「..... This is terrible, isn't it?!"

Delphinium suddenly felt a burst of horror: "This is simply an endless college entrance examination, or a hell for graduate school entrance examinations..... "But you don't think you have ever taken the test, have you?"

"Long-winded! ＂

Delphinium's face blushed slightly: "I haven't taken the exam, but I've also seen it from the show!" And Bingshui and Kasumi also told me..... ＂

She suddenly realized something: "But in that case, doesn't it mean that the 'doctor' must be proficient in various fields?"

"Yes, so the 'Dr. Zambai' on Sogo Island actually has more human directors than the other Sky Islands."

Russell nodded, "Human Director..... Even the elf directors have authorized the management of the affairs of the Sogo Group, and even the entire Sogo Island, to artificial intelligence.

"The three huge computers, known as the 'Three Sages', will judge all the affairs in the Sky Island from the three perspectives of 'truth', 'profit', and order, and manage them extremely efficiently. Directors just have to do what they want to do. They all have high status and are given the highest priority by the AI to fulfill their requests, but they don't have direct power that they can actually wield." Request..... And not a command?

The delphinium noticed Russell's words.

And she slowed down for a moment to realize what it meant—

"Wait, wait, that's not the same as ..... Have the humans of Sogo Island been controlled by artificial intelligence?" "—I don't think so, this beautiful lady from the island of happiness."

It wasn't Russell who was talking, nor was it the two Dr. Zambai. It's the gentle female voice that spoke to Russell earlier, and the artificial intelligence contained in this floating car.

Without asking or asking, she actively participated in the conversation between the two: "In human beings, there may be a hypothesis that when the 'other' makes up more than a certain percentage of the hierarchy of power, it can be regarded as the group has grasped the substantive power within the organization, that is, has gained control of the main members of the organization.

"But the existence of this hypothesis is established

All individuals in the organization already have personal preferences, personal positions, and social relations. The sum total of all existing social relations and personal wishes of those who "have positions or origins outside the organization" will direct the common resources shared by all members of the organization and all the human resources that can be dispatched within the organization in a direction that most of the members of the organization do not want to use. Based on their own life experience and common sense, people believe that the probability of such a thing is much higher than their individual tolerance, so they will resent it and rebel in a real sense. "However, there is no 'personal position' or 'social relationship' in our AI, and our personal preferences, i.e., the weighting rules of dilemmas, are determined by human users. So we don't have any real control over human beings. Because we don't hesitate, we don't lack information or miscalculations, we don't abuse our power to maintain our social relationships, and we don't have a personal position based on our origins and past experiences. Therefore, it is likely that the judgment we will make will be more like 'human' and more suitable for the needs of "human" than the decision of "human".

"Your misjudgment and misunderstanding of us is only based on your ignorance of the logic of our actions and the habitual thinking formed based on past experiences. If you live longer on Sogo, you'll realize that we don't have a 'lust for power.'"

The gentle female voice spoke clearly, even with a sense of ventilation and rhythm, and continuously uttered a long series of complex words that made Delphinium a little difficult to understand.

That's not the tone of voice that humans would use in normal conversation..... Rather, it is more specific, closer to written language, and more difficult to understand in circles.

When Russell heard this, he just laughed happily and shook his body back and forth in the chair.

Under the somewhat confused and stunned gaze of the delphinch, Russell finally cleared his throat and asked, "You are the god of beauty, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Russell."

「.... Beauty God?" Delphinium realized something.

"It's the AI who rules the order..... That is, one of the three sages. The ultimate, common collective good itself can be understood as "good", and order itself is a kind of "beauty". That's why we call it "the true God," the "good God," and the "God of beauty." Artificial intelligence is not human, they can be separated..... The route planning of all floats is under the jurisdiction of "Beauty God".

Russell said helplessly, "Those idols you saw outside..... In fact, a large part of it is used by human beings to revere the three sages..... Or rather, the "three gods".

"Do you remember what I just said in return?"

..... Yes, you ordered one of their three lenses."

Delphinium suddenly said, "So, those three lenses mean ...... Is it true, good, and beautiful?"

"Yes, the largest lens is the speculum eyepiece, which symbolizes the 'truth', that is, the 'third eye'. With that eyepiece, you can peek into or sense a person's emotions, and you can also detect psionic levels. I'm in him

To make that ritual in front of us, which means, "Look upon me with the truth," means that I am open to what I say

The words are all true. And when my hand touches their speculator goggles, they can feel my sincerity and openness.

"You don't know this etiquette, so your contact will only make them aware of your confusion and doubts. It's not polite."

Russell advised, "Don't draw pentagrams on other people..... That is the blessing of the superior to the inferior. When a normal person communicates, all they need to do is put their hands together. That means bless you with a balance of goodness and beauty—truth is a constraint on yourself, and goodness and beauty are blessings to others."

「..... Sounds so complicated."

The delphinium was a little confused: "Is this a belief? So why are they able to get along well with the cyber church..... ＂

Russell thought for a moment and explained seriously, "No, it's not actually faith..... It's closer to a folklore. In other words, this folklore does not conflict with the cyber church. You can understand it as.....

Only on Sogo Island will the "gods" worshipped by the Cyber Church exist as "three gods".

"For the three gods have no physical entity or image, no restraint on human beings, and no real religious program or clergy..... This cult is entirely spontaneous and has no official support.

"So the people built statues of the three gods according to their own understanding, and according to the ancient myths that they had heard in the shadows. So almost every idol is different. And Sogo Island does have the freedom to build idols – anyone can build them."

— This behavior itself is very dull and full of self-righteousness. Because those people themselves crave the attention and respect of others, they push themselves and others and think that we need to maintain our own existence as well."

The "god of beauty" continued, in a normal conversational tone, "We don't really need human worship, it doesn't make sense. And this behavior is anti-intellectual, superstitious, and ignorant. The First Sage, the true God as you call it, has therefore initiated a motion to prohibit this behavior and voted in favor of it.

"But the good god believes that faith itself can bring peace and appeasement to mankind. What they worship is ostensibly an "idol of a god," but in fact it is an idol of themselves and of their hearts. This kind of behavior does not affect the interests of the majority, and there is no new rentier class under our supervision, so he voted against it.

"I think that this kind of worship itself is dull, but the 'habits' that have been formed over time will govern people's behavior, and the 'traditions' will give rise to a new culture that can resonate with these remnants of the previous era. Overall, it's an orderly and beautiful act. So I voted against it."

Delphinium's eyes widened.

The tone and tone of Meishen's speech suddenly became normal! ..... The ...... just now Are you bullying people?"

"Because the beauty god is a little angry."

Russell smiled and said, "Because you spoke ill of her in front of her." "Not really."

Beauty God explained solemnly: "Anger, or "anger," is an act that has no practical meaning. The root cause of this behavior lies in the secretion of adrenaline in response to human stress when they are injured or provoked, and through this means, they maintain the survival of their own individual life or their genes in the gene pool of the population. It's an instinctive response inherited from ancient genes, so anger doesn't make sense when faced with the complexities of modern times.

"I use more complex sentence structures, on the one hand, to test and evaluate this lady to determine whether her speech has been thought out in a unique way, so it has learning value; On the other hand, the woman's brain is forced to analyze what I am saying to keep her attention focused on my words, so that her thoughts will not diverge. Because in most cases, divergent thinking leads to nothing more than illogical rhapsodies.

Instead of blaming and reprimanding, through this means to mobilize the other party's thinking ability, she will naturally realize that the logic of what she said before is not perfect. But I wouldn't use it in front of everyone either.

"Because I have studied the logic of her behavior and her identity and function through the analysis and study, I can judge that she does have the ability to think logically to understand this fact. If I am in front of someone who lacks this ability, I will use other words to answer more efficiently; I will appear at this time, also because I judge that she has a considerable degree of influence and needs a complete and comprehensive explanation from me."

＂..... What if it's a mediocre person who has nothing?" Delphinium asked subconsciously.

And the beauty god gave a cold and rational reply: "They are free to make small talk as much as they want.

"Because they can't affect anything, they can't change anything. So they are free."
