"Welcome to Elysium, Mr. Lynch, and this …" Horn stood at the door to welcome everyone like a charlatan. He even seemed to have purposely imitated the Patriarch's attire.
This made him, as well as everything here, seem absurd.
Who would have thought that there was a "lawless land" within the Federation's borders? How f * cking magical!
"Austin."
Lynch gave him some reminders.
"Yes, and Ms. Austin, thank you very much for coming. I promise that this will be an unforgettable night!"
Horn was very enthusiastic. He shook Lynch's hand, but did not extend it to Austin. This was against the rules of social interaction.
Then, under the guidance of a girl, Lynch and Austin entered the interior of Elysium Island.
"Do you have a mission?"
Lynch's pace was slightly slower, and he put some distance between himself and the girl in front of him. He asked a question that Austin did not know how to react to.
Lynch looked at her expression and knew that he had guessed correctly. "Do you need some private time?"
Austin's expression was a little complicated. Before she came, the Military Intelligence had tried to contact her, hoping that she could understand the situation on Elysium Island when she entered with Lynch.
After all, this place was too close to Bu Payne. Any problems that happened here could have an impact on the political center of Bu Payne.
If it was a scandal, it might have an even wider impact.
People were always very tolerant of themselves, but they were very strict when it came to people or things other than themselves.
Elysium Island should not become a ticking time bomb. It needed to be kept safe.
Austin's mission was to conduct a relatively free preliminary investigation of the residents on the island when she arrived with Lynch.
There were no particularly detailed objectives, so she had a lot of autonomy.
She thought that Lynch would not know, but it seemed that she had underestimated Lynch's judgment.
"A little time is enough!"
Austin answered honestly. She did not think that her brain could beat Lynch in this aspect.
Lynch nodded slightly. "Later, you'll go to the bathroom to touch up your makeup and then get lost. Do you understand what I mean?"
"If you don't come back after 15 minutes, I'll ask them for you. So, you better come back within 15 minutes, or last longer than 15 minutes."
Not only had he come up with an excuse, he had even come up with a follow-up. Austin did not even have the desire to speak.
She wasn't sure if what she was going to say was also in Lynch's judgment.
The entire Blissful Island was shaped like a shuttle, and this was also the result of the research of some experts. It was in accordance with some kind of mechanical shape, and the impact of the water flow on the man-made island would be minimized.
There was dense vegetation on the island. These vegetation were all transplanted directly from other places, ensuring that each villa was completely independent in terms of space and privacy.
No matter what you do in your own house, it won't disturb anyone else.
There were a total of 128 villas on the entire Blissful Island. Currently, all of these villas had been sold out, but there were also rumors that Horn still had more than a dozen that had not been sold yet.
There was only one port on Blissful Island, and this was the only way in. The surrounding area was surrounded by straight cliffs, and the height was not low. There was no way to climb up without alerting the guards.
After docking at the port, there was a huge commercial street. All the top luxury brands of the Federation and some world-class luxury stores were gathered here. There were also other kinds of services, restaurants, opera houses, cinemas, all kinds of sports fields …
Almost everything that could be enjoyed in other places could be enjoyed here.
This was the benefit of being rich.
From the moment he stood on the street, Lynch felt a sense of sincerity that he had never felt before!
It was already the middle of November, and the weather was very cold. The temperature in Boone had dropped to around 12 or 13 degrees, and could drop to zero at any time. All that was needed was a cold wave.
On such a cold day, the streets were full of … beautiful girls.
They were wearing the simplest clothes, or even no clothes at all. They only had two breast pads with gold or silver tassels, and a very thin pair of underwear.
All the girls were like this. They were also very enthusiastic, constantly dancing enthusiastically, or accompanying some of the guests.
There were also some waiters.
In addition to the girls, there was also a group of big boys. They were all very handsome, and at this time, they were only wearing a pair of underwear and walking on the street while breathing out hot air.
Compared to the girls, they also had a fake collar, a black tie, and two fake sleeves.
There was a very special smell in the air, a smell that surprised people!
Austin looked at these people with some confusion, including the salespeople in the store, who were all dressed like this.
They seemed to have completely lost their sense of shame, like some robots in some science fiction novels. They only looked like humans, but were actually not humans!
Wouldn't they feel very … awkward?
While others were dressed relatively neatly, they were almost naked here, like a collision between civilization and primitive.
Even the savages in the backward tribes would feel uneasy and ashamed when they saw civilized people dressed neatly.
But these people did not. The smiles on their faces did not seem to be fake.
What Austin didn't know was that he could get at least twice the salary in the outside world and even more commission here. This was also why these people were smiling.
From the moment they set foot on Blissful Island, they had already entered the middle class.
There was no lack of such beautiful girls and handsome boys in the Federation.
This kind of "high-quality resource" in the eyes of many people was not only cheap in the face of capital, but also very common.
She was like the little maid in Lynch's house, a girl from a small place.
In that small place, she was the only goddess in the eyes of almost all her peers.
But in Bu Payne, in Lynch's villa, she was like a little pet who was uneasy, afraid that she would be abandoned at any time.
Not to mention lowering her head, which she had never lowered in front of others, even if she was asked to kneel on the ground and stick out her butt, she would do it. She would even gently sway to set off her identity and role.
If youth could be sold for money, they would not hesitate.
"Mr. Lynch …" The girl walking in front stopped in the middle of the square. At this time, there were many people like Lynch in the square.
"Our gathering time is set at eight o'clock in the evening. Before that, you can freely move around with the lady beside you.
"On my left is the Blissful Island Opera House. We have invited the best opera orchestra in the Federation to act as a long-term performance team and provide wonderful performances for every distinguished guest.
"This is the dining area. The best chefs in the Federation and even the world cook for the guests …
"This is the indoor court. Currently, there are tennis, bowling, billiards, cricket, and so on.
"Whether you play with friends or play alone, you can enjoy to your heart's content. We will arrange for professional athletes to fill in other vacancies to ensure that you will feel the best service and happiness!
"This is the casino on Blissful Island. Most of the known games are gathered here. You can gamble with the casino or with other guests. We can even support any game related to gambling."
The girl introduced almost all the places here. Lynch did not want to eat yet. It was a little early, and he did not want to watch movies, gamble, or exercise.
He looked at Austin and gave her the opportunity to choose. "Where do you want to go?"
Austin came with a mission. She knew that Lynch was giving her a chance to complete the mission. She hesitated. "Where is the most crowded place now?"
The girl was slightly stunned. She excused herself and walked to a phone booth.
Yes, there was a public phone booth on the island. She picked up the phone and dialed a number. About ten seconds later, she walked back. "The opera house is the most crowded place now."
"Then let's go to the opera house."
Austin looked at Lynch, and the latter nodded.
Lynch did not like opera very much. It had nothing to do with his personal artistic cultivation. It was just like how people always had things they did not like.
For example, people could not be called picky just because they did not like to eat shit. That was ridiculous.
If he did not like it, he simply did not like it.
The girl led the two of them to the opera house.
They did not need a ticket to enter because today was the day of the event. However, they would need one in the future. The girl explained that a ticket cost about four hundred yuan. If two people came, it would cost more than eight hundred yuan.
Just sitting for a few hours would cost a family two to three months of income. No wonder opera was not accepted by the public!
After entering the opera house, Lin Qi found a seat and sat down. Suddenly, he was interested in opera.
Austin's face was slightly red. "Are the operas outside also like this?"
She whispered in Lynch's ear.
At that moment, the actors on the stage were very strange. They were not wearing anything below their necks. They were not wearing any clothes, not even underwear. They were not even wearing a single strand of hair!
Above their necks, however, was the same as a normal opera performance. The exaggerated makeup made people feel that it had a dramatic effect at first glance.
Lynch was also a little uncertain. "I don't know. I've seen very few operas. Maybe … this scene is like that?"
Actually, it was obvious that the actors might be a little naked when the plot required it. However, it was impossible for them to be completely exposed. This opera performance was very abnormal.
However, to his surprise, Lynch realized that he was starting to like opera.
There was no other meaning. He just liked it.
It was an appreciation of art!
