Chapter 536 A street interview about the holy battle
The Imperial Ta Kung Pao is the most objective and fair news media in the Crimson Empire.
All the news published by the media only contains facts and does not make any subjective evaluations. Because of this characteristic, it has been welcomed by many elite figures in the empire.
Because the news it reports does not explore the root cause in depth, and never involves sensitive topics. In addition, the boss behind the scenes is a member of the Chu family, the Ta Kung Pao has been in full 1,400 years since its founding.
This sacred decisive battle between Black Forest, Cross Star and Kagoyo Province is naturally inseparable from the figure of the Ta Kung Pao reporter. Reporter Lin Yilian is the special correspondent of this sacred decisive battle.
At this time, there were less than 10 days left before the day of the decisive battle. Lin Yilian had finished her interview with the two provinces of Black Forest and Cross. She rode a high-speed spacecraft painted in pure white and left the Black Forest province and rushed towards Heyue.
In the spaceship, Lin Yilian was discussing her interview plan with her assistant Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang first pulled out the star map and planned the way forward: "Sister Lin, the province of Hayue is not stable. It is said that there is turmoil everywhere. If you interview according to the original plan, you may encounter danger on the road. So the safest way is to go directly to the Giant Bear Fortress in the center of Hayue."
Lin Yilian frowned: "This is not right. Kawayue Center is under the heavy control of the Governor, and the residents there will definitely not dare to tell the truth, so this interview will have no meaning."
Xiao Zhang spread his hands: "Sister Lin, this time is not as good as before. Our spaceship is a civilian model and there are not even weapons on it. If something happens, it will be very troublesome."
"No!" Lin Yilian shook her head firmly: "According to the original plan, go to Jifeng City on the edge of the river first, and I must get the most real ideas of the lower-level residents."
"Sister Lin..."
"That's what it's decided!"
"Well, if anything is wrong, I'll turn right away."
The Wind City is not far away. At the speed of a high-speed spacecraft, about 5 hours later, a small silver-white dot appeared in the vision. As the distance approached, the dots continued to grow larger, and soon, it almost occupied the entire field of view of the spacecraft.
"Look, there is a war eagle!" Xiao Zhang pointed to a small dark red dot on the screen, with joy in his voice.
The War Eagle is the main battleship of the Empire. Since there are War Eagles here, it means that the Wind City is still under the control of Governor Kawatsu.
Lin Yilian quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Contact Zhan Ying, indicate her identity, and submit an application for entry into the city."
"clear."
About 2 minutes later, the assistant turned to Lin Yilian and said, "Sister Lin, the other party agreed to the application, we can enter the city."
"very good."
The high-speed spacecraft flew towards the spaceport and lined up to enter the spaceport. It was pulled into the berth by the towed spacecraft. After a while, a hover car flew over and took Lam Yilian and her assistant off the spacecraft.
"Go to the residential area of Jifeng City." Lin Yilian reported the destination to the host of the floating car.
The suspension car began to accelerate, drew a smooth arc in space, and quickly merged into orbit, accelerating. About 5 minutes later, Lin Yilian and her assistant stood on a pedestrian street in the inner city of Jifeng City.
There were people coming and going on the street, and there were floating vans flying around in the sky. The pedestrians looked hurried and their steps were constantly on their faces, but there seemed to be no sign of panic.
Lin Yilian took a deep breath, then vomited out again, and said to the assistant beside her: "The air quality is very good, without any extra odor. Xiao Zhang, have you detected the air level? What level is it?"
The assistant was holding a detection pen to measure. After a while, he said: "It's the secondary air, and the dust and harmful gas content in the air are controlled below one ten thousandth. The oxygen content is stable and there is almost no fluctuation... Tsk tsk, the city lord of Jifeng City is really generous."
In Space City, air is provided for free, but Space City is man-made, and there is no stable ecosystem in it, so air must be made for money. In order to save money, many lords will use low-performance atmospheric circulation machines. Although the air produced by this circulation machine can also breathe, the quality is generally poor and will have a odor. Over time, it will easily cause respiratory diseases in the eyes.
“This is indeed unexpected.”
Lin Yilian wrote down this one, then looked up on the street and looked left and right. She quickly found a vending machine. She strode over, looked at the goods list, and then stuffed a star shield into the vending machine.
‘Gulong~’ A bottle of simple packaging of pure water rolled out.
Lin Yilian took the pure water, twisted it open and wrapped it, and her eyes lit up slightly: "The water quality is very good, Xiao Zhang, you can test it."
Assistant Xiao Zhang took the water probe and inserted it into the water bottle. After a while, a thick green light shone out from the water rod. He was stunned for a moment: "Sister Lin, this is level 1 drinking water, with moderate pH, softness and hardness, no bacteria, only trace minerals. Such water is sold at least 5 star shields in the imperial capital, and 1 star shield is sold here. Sister Lin, I want to resell this water to the imperial capital, which is a 400% huge profit!"
"Don't be poor, what about the job!" Lin Yilian rebuked lightly, her eyes turned around the pedestrians on the street for a few times, and then walked towards a young man who was rushing: "Young man, can I ask you a few questions?"
While talking, she handed over 10 star shields at the same time.
The young man looked at Lin Yilian and her assistant Xiao Zhang suspiciously.
Lin Yilian hurriedly explained her identity: "Don't get me wrong, I am a reporter from the Empire Ta Kung Pao. Is it convenient for you now?"
The young man looked at the star shield in Lin Yilian's hand, then looked at her clothes, hesitated, and finally nodded: "You ask, but I may not be able to answer."
"Okay." Lin Yilian asked with a smile: "Do you know about the sacred decisive battle?"
The young man nodded.
"What do you think about this?"
The young man hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head: "This has nothing to do with me."
The expected answer is that the little people don’t like to talk about big people. This is Mingzhe’s way of protecting himself. Lin Yilian was not surprised at all: “Oh, okay, thank you very much.”
The young man turned around and left. After about 3 steps, he stopped. Just when Lin Yilian was surprised, he suddenly turned back and said to Lin Yilian: "I hope the governor can win the final battle."
Lin Yilian became more and more surprised: "Oh, why?"
The young man pursed his lips tightly, looked left and right, and was silent for a while before he whispered: "My mother had a serious lung disease and had no money to treat it before. My mother was on the verge of despair. After the Governor took office, they cured my mother's disease for free, and replaced the air circulation machine in the city, completely cutting off the source of the disease... I am very grateful!"
After saying that, the young man turned around and ran away.
Lin Yilian and her assistant Xiao Zhang looked at each other and remained silent for more than ten seconds before Xiao Zhang whispered: "It's even free to treat the disease. The city lord of Jifeng City is really crazy about gaining and losing his heart."
But Lin Yilian didn't make a decision easily. She walked towards a middle-aged man, handed over the star shield, and asked the same question.
This middle-aged man is much more steady than the young man before. He pondered for a few seconds and replied: "To be honest, although the Governor is not a legal leader, he is a rare merciful master. In this final battle, I hope he will win, but I don't want him to win."
Lin Yilian raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
The middle-aged man sighed: "The current governor is too kind to the people. Since he took office, the city of Qifeng has been changing with each passing day. I also enjoy this change, so I hope he can win. However, I know that all this cannot last long. This time it is a sacred battle. There will inevitably be other setbacks next time. No one will tolerate a civilian serving as governor for a long time. I am afraid that if I enjoy it for a long time, it will be even more painful if I suddenly lose all this now. In addition, the Governor may be able to save his life now. If it is in the future, it will be really hard to say. Therefore, it is better to lose."
After saying that, the middle-aged man shook his head and sighed: "The starry sky is dim, power is devouring people, and the superiors are as evil as tigers, and they only want to eat people. The governor wants to change all this with his own power. How arrogant, how naive, how tragic! Alas~"
He ignored Lin Yilian and turned around and left, his steps staggered a little, and his back seemed very desolate.
Assistant Xiao Zhang looked at the middle-aged man's back and sneered: "This person is afraid of gaining and losing his mind. It's just a problem, and he can have such a big reaction."
Lin Yilian didn't say anything, she continued to interview people of different identities in the city.
I have been interviewing more than 20 people. Except for two who said it doesn’t matter, almost everyone else hopes that the governor can win. Some express it clearly, while others are very obscure.
After the interview with the 23rd person, Lin Yilian fell into deep thought.
"Sister Lin, do you still have to continue?" Xiao Zhang asked.
"No, these materials are enough. Let's go around and see what the public facilities in Rising Wind City are like."
"Okay."
The two found a hover car and circled around the city of Jifeng.
After watching for more than ten minutes, Xiao Zhang sighed: "There are engineering robots everywhere in this city and are being renovated everywhere. Hey! Sister Lin, look, is that a school? It's so beautiful, how much does it cost?"
Lin Yilian roughly estimated: "Over the way, the lord of Jifeng City will spend at least 200 million star shields on the city's public welfare."
"Ah! There are so many?" Xiao Zhang exclaimed.
Lin Yilian continued to think in her heart: 'Since the Ye family rebellion, the noble lord of Hayue has almost died, and all the space cities have been taken over by the governor. The money should be allocated by the provincial finance. A marginal space city allocated 200 million star shields, and the entire Heyue space city is more than 1,000 yuan, and its scale is larger than that of the Jifeng City. It is estimated that at least 200 billion star shields are spent. 200 billion star shields are just in order to improve the welfare of ordinary people, and his previous actions are so evil. What kind of person is this young new governor?'
