Beng Tie: What does it mean to broaden one's four destinies in one sentence?

The first thing you see is Belleburg’s city landmark, the Everlasting Winter Monument.

It is engraved with symbols formed by gears and ice crystals.

Lin Si stared at the gear symbol, squinting her eyes.

gear.

The fact that a city's landmark features a gear indicates that the people of Belleburg are adept at utilizing and creating "mechanisms".

That's absolutely right. With "intelligent machines" appearing in the lower zones, how could they not be good at it?

Intelligent machines and mechanical machines are not the same.

It's highly probable that out of ten thousand robots, even one could evolve into an "intelligent machine."

It's unclear how many robots the "Swarovski" faction has, how many people in Belloberg still "understand" mechanics, and the total number of robots in Belloberg.

Lin Si didn't have much hope for the intelligence from the upper levels.

Since there are intelligent machines, we should definitely go and learn about them.

Schwarzlo is someone I absolutely must meet.

Lin Si continued scrolling down.

"Earth marrow, protein rice, black bread, red sausage, sun-dried pancakes, warm sunflowers..."

He quickly flipped through the pages, memorizing the key information.

Half an hour later, he closed the two books, shut his eyes, and his brain raced.

The marrow of the earth.

This is key to Belloberg's ability to withstand cold waves. A mineral capable of generating continuous heat is widely used in urban heating systems.

However, according to the description in the book, the production of Earth Essence is not high due to the influence of the Rift Creation.

Moreover, most of the mineral veins are distributed in the lower layers.

Lower layer....

It was sealed off again by Cocolia's order.

Lin Si tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair.

Schwarz's power is a recent development.

If he is not mistaken, the people in the lower districts certainly do not have the same food and living conditions as those in the upper districts.

In such an environment, there are definitely not many NPCs that are "combat-ready".

Therefore, the situation in the lower-level earth marrow veins, without the interference of the silver mane iron guards in the upper-level area and the rift creations, is basically predictable.

There are definitely many places where mining is not possible.

But Lin thought of another problem.

Despite the appalling conditions in the lower tiers, there has never been a single "resistance or uprising" against the upper tiers in modern history.

There were two rebellions throughout history, but none in modern times, especially after Cocolia ordered the sealing off of the lower districts.

This shows what?

This indicates that there must be leaders in the lower-level areas as well.

Whether it's protein rice, black bread, red sausage, or sun crackers, they all point to the fact that current food production in Belleburg is not high.

If the records of the upper levels are like this, then one can imagine what the situation is like in the lower levels.

Without credible leadership and constraints, it's impossible for people to see themselves struggling to feed themselves while the upper classes are relatively wealthy and comfortable, living under the same sky.

And this leader...

That was the key to his breakthrough.

Lin Si stood up, walked to the window, and looked at Bellberg outside.

The snow is still falling.

Pedestrians hurried along the streets, bundled in thick winter coats, trudging through the wind and snow. Occasionally, patrolling guards would pass by, their silver-white armor standing out starkly against the grey sky.

Lin Si's gaze passed over the buildings and fell into the depths of the city.

He wasn't too worried about the power in the upper echelons.

History books state: "Under the wise leadership of Lord Cocolia, the people of Beloborg have greatly boosted morale, strengthened city defenses, and advanced technology..."

It looks pretty good, doesn't it?

But after so many years in power, Cocolia has only managed to consolidate "domestic affairs" so far.

And this "internal affairs" also includes sealing off the lower districts?

Lin Si tapped her fingers lightly on the windowsill.

According to historical records, Cocolia did indeed have achievements in the early part of her reign.

The fact that she is "the only person in 700 years to reach the top as the Great Guardian as a soldier" alone demonstrates that her abilities far surpass those of all previous Great Guardians.

Can someone who can fight his way out of a group of soldiers be a simple character?

But that was the early version of Cocolia.

Cocolia, who has been in power for so many years, has not conquered even a single rift, has not further enhanced his technology, and has even sealed off the lower zones.

Those upper-class forces in Cocolia, who had long been accustomed to the early days of Cocolia's wisdom and might, could hardly be without complaints as they watched their Great Guardian stagnate for decades.

There are bound to be discontented voices.

However, due to Cocolia's title of "The Cold-Hearted One" and her power cultivated over many years as the Great Guardian, those people simply couldn't express their opinions.

Lin Si's lips curled up slightly.

The character he is currently controlling is Cocolia's daughter.

Although we don't know what Bronya's image is among the citizens, the fact that those Iron Guards were willing to take a knife for her and even die for her at least shows that she has a good image among the citizens.

Some people are willing to risk their lives for her.

This is enough.

If someone else were to play this game, they might gradually advance the storyline, slowly accumulate power, and wait three to five years until Cocolia abdicates before rightfully taking over Belloberg.

But who is Lin Si? A gaming guru.

He only cares about efficiency.

The most efficient method is to dig through Xuanwu Gate.

Daughter hits mother?

That sounds rather unethical.

But all the information Lin Si has gathered points to one conclusion: Cocolia is the problem.

And the problem is quite significant.

A once wise and powerful leader suddenly stagnated for decades and even sealed off half of the city. If there wasn't something fishy going on, he should just write his name backwards.

so....

To do it or not?

Lin thought about it for a moment and decided to stop thinking about it for now.

Anyway, the mission is to save Belloberg.

As for how to save them, and who will be the Great Guardian after the rescue, we'll see how things go.

"Whoo~"

He let out a long breath and rubbed his temples.

"Having thought about all this, I still don't know how to get to the lower level."

He turned and looked towards the doorway.

"Let's go out and take a look first."

Chapter 15 This appearance, this shameful appearance, was seen by an acquaintance!

The moment Lin Si stepped out the door in her pajamas, Bronya had already given up the struggle in her mind.

Although this set of pajamas is not much thicker than a regular cotton coat due to the weather, it's not too outrageous to wear it out.

But the problem is, these are pajamas!

It was her favorite, most private, pajamas that she usually only wore in her own room!

Now, dressed up by this demon king, he swaggered down the streets of Belleburg!

Bronya felt a sense of shame that her little secret had been made public.

She made her decision.

After this demon king logs off, she'll first devise some tricks to let him know that she, Bronya, is not a game character, but a living, breathing person!
