While in America, the system says Roosevelt was an emperor.

After finishing the battle CG between the female knight and Tom the wild horse, Tom began to study the system's lottery function.

Clicking on the [Lottery Feature], five large spinning wheels appeared in Tom's mind.

Apart from the largest turntable, the others are difficult to describe.

It feels like there's nothing at all, yet it also feels like there's everything.

nothingness?

Or perhaps chaos?

Tom doesn't know, he's confused.

Only the largest turntable is different;

Although it is difficult to describe in detail, it clearly has a gentle feel to it.

Tom focused his attention on the four small turntables, two of which exuded a sense of intimacy and moved closer to him.

Based on the different levels of intimacy, Tom was able to distinguish which was the [Slaanesh's Lottery Roulette] and which was the [Tzeentch's Lottery Roulette].

It's just an empty roulette wheel, without even a pointer, so how can you draw a prize?

Tom began to ponder whether or not he should participate in the lottery.

If something strange or unusual is pulled out, will it cause the collapse of the present world?

Furthermore, [Tzeentch's attention] can be crucial for survival in critical moments, so it's not good to waste it on lottery draws.

Just before Tom was about to close the [Lottery Function Area], he couldn't resist sending a lottery command to the [Slaanesh Lottery Roulette].

Almost at the same moment the order was given, a foreign object was forcefully inserted into Tom's entire brain.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the following rewards from the Slaanesh Lottery Roulette.]

[Reward: Dopamine Inhibition]

[Reward Description:]

As Slaanesh's most loyal servant, you must seek out even more exciting offerings.

From now on, all your emotions and feelings will be weakened.

[Until you offer Slaanesh the ultimate pleasure~]

[Current Character Panel]

【Strength: 4.1】

[Agility: 3.9]

【Intelligence: 5.0】

[Psionic Power: ███]

Current SAN value: 4.46/4.46

[Current attention level of Tzeentch: 260]

[Current attention level for Khorne: 14]

[Current Slaanesh's attention level: 3]

[Permanent buff obtained: Dopamine inhibition]

[Negative buffs expected tomorrow (already in effect): Slaanesh's affinity, Tzeentch's affinity, Khorne's affinity]

After checking the panel, Tom muttered to himself:

"Did you use 100 points of Slaanesh's gaze?"

Then he opened his eyes and looked at everything around him.

Everything seems unchanged, yet everything seems to have changed.

Tom looked at Dani beside him, who was exhausted and fast asleep.

Tom suddenly realized that even though he had refreshed his status, his Tom index with Denise had dropped drastically.

Tom pinched his thigh again, and the pain lessened considerably.

It seems that dopamine suppression is a buff that suppresses all emotions.

It's neither positive nor negative.

Tom tucked Denise in and then lay down to sleep.

Time passed day by day, and the day arrived at December 24, 1941.

After a few days, only two of Tom's attributes changed:

[Current attention level of Tzeentch: 871]

[Current Slaanesh's attention level: 21]

Tom has been giving an average of one campaign speech every day these past few days.

As the number of speeches increases, the increase in [Tzeentch's attention] becomes smaller and smaller;

Another source of attention for Tzeentch stems from campaign speeches by candidates in other constituencies;

Any candidate who uses a "Tom-style" speech will gain a little more attention from the eagle.

Tom had sat in on a few of the speeches and felt they were far less effective than his own campaign speeches, but they should be sufficient.

These past few days, whether in Brooklyn or Queens;

Everyone on the streets is talking about "the land under the sun".

Today is the day before Christmas, and also voter registration day.

Tom stood out the window and looked down at the voter registration point.

Countless ragged voters lined up anxiously to register, and in their eyes, Tom saw hope.

It's as if casting a "solemn and sacred" vote can change one's tragic fate.

Tom's campaign speeches not only influenced the five major constituencies, but also attracted many voters from other constituencies.

After all, no one would refuse free rice, flour, and oil.

Therefore, this city council election has become the most watched city council election in New York history.

Thanks to Tom's campaign tactics, countless low-income New York rats voluntarily went to voter registration points for the first time.

A constituency with only 75000 votes does not mean that more voters cannot be counted.

In just one morning, more than 100,000 people registered in each constituency.

The news quickly reached the New York City Council in Manhattan.

Inside the conference room, a meeting on tax issues is being held.

This afternoon, the Municipal Finance Bureau will be compiling the tax collection results;

Even before the money has been received, city councilors have already begun arguing over budget allocation.

The first to speak was a city councilor from the DuPont family, who stood up and said:

"My advice is to actively respond to the federal government's call."

"Give more tax revenue to the federal government to support the Pacific War."

Following closely behind was a city councilor from the Vanderbilt family, who retorted:

"War is a matter for a nation; it's impossible for our single city to bear the entire burden, is it?"

"In my opinion, it would be better to increase the budget for municipal engineering projects next year."

"Many subway lines in New York City are old and in need of renovation."

"Infrastructure can influence the next ten years of planning."

Finally, Tos Carnegie also stood up and spoke, saying emotionlessly:

"Mr. Vanderbilt, the New York subway system is new enough."

"If we truly want to think about the future, shouldn't education be even more important?"

"Education is a long-term endeavor that will last for centuries."

"More financial resources should be allocated to funding major universities."

The city councilors present exchanged glances with the people next to them.

A standard fake smile was plastered on his face, but in his heart he had already cursed everyone else.

They all understood, including themselves,

They all talk about "serving the country and the public good," but in reality, they're all just after their own little bit of profit.

The DuPont family are arms dealers;

The Vanderbilt family is the largest contractor for municipal engineering projects;

The Carnegie family, on the other hand, are the wealthiest families among the major universities.

But they couldn't afford to completely break off relations, so they could only engage in a few casual arguments.

Besides, arguing now won't get us to a conclusion;

We need to look at the specific source of the tax revenue to better determine where it will go.

For example, the more taxes a district generates, the more influence the city councilors in that district have.

After the meeting, city councilors walked out of the city council meeting room in groups of two or three.

Soon, cheerful laughter filled the offices of the various city councilors.

Toss, of course, also received the news and laughed heartily:

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Those peasants actually came to register on their own initiative?"

"In previous years, I needed the police chief's assistance, but it seems I won't need it this year."

Tos was not an uninformed person; he read the newspapers every day, but he did not believe that any other candidate could shake his position.
