Be careful from the male insect [Interstellar]

Ai Wen's article stayed on the front page for half a month this time.

"Actually, it's not fair." Ivan and Ryan explained, "Theoretically, only the hottest news with the most popular content will be on the front page. But I have public opinion controversy and male status bonus... If you change Editor-in-Chief Cheng wrote it by himself, and it would definitely not achieve such an effect. But anyway, since I already have topicality, why don’t I use it to do something meaningful?”

As for what Ivan did, there are roughly two points.First, he pointed out a point that is ignored by most people, because most of them don’t need to pay special attention to it; second, he subtly promoted all relevant companies to a Delicate point.

When the news has reached this point, they have only two options:

Either ignore it, or be forced to do something, in response to popular expectations.

The Liberal Party can of course choose the former.In fact.If this article was really written by Irga, then of course they can choose the former. After all, although such an article may make some worms think a little when it first came out, it will pass after thinking about it. It doesn't matter.However, since the man who wrote the manuscript was Ai Wen, who was still popular with the public, once the manuscript was sent out, it immediately received detailed interpretations from many newspapers.

In this way, it is difficult for the public not to be impressed by the content inside.

What made the public even more crazy was that Ai Wen's article just fell from the top due to a problem with the layout of the front page, and another article hit the headlines again.

That article was not written by Ivan, but Mick was interviewed again, saying that he was inspired by Ivan's article and was preparing a new work, a mechanical prosthetic hand.He has already shown the basic concept map of the work, and he still said a lot of explanations that ordinary worms might not understand at all. At least the reporter who interviewed him was obviously stumped, and in the end he could only send out his original words.

After this incident, Aiwen's article became even more popular, and it stayed on the front page for another half a month.

All in all, with a double push, the Liberals cannot ignore the issues this article addresses.

At the same time, the voice of the people is also growing.

Many worms with disabled relatives and friends in the slums gathered spontaneously, and even conducted a small-scale massacre.Aiwen saw a large photo of the virus from the e-newsletter: On the rough street (it reminded Aiwen of Tobias Star Pier), many worms gathered together and moved forward.Some of them were holding signs with stick figures of mechanical bugs drawn on them; some of them were holding large cartoons with nothing but Ivan's face on them.

"This is a truly noble worm." When the reporter interviewed, one worm said enthusiastically.

"Noble," that word again.Oddly though, when it came out of the strange poor bug's mouth, it felt very different than when it came out of Holden's mouth.

The worms continued to lick and hold up other portraits.Aiwen recognized Roselle, and of course there were some people who also belonged to the Liberal Party, but Aiwen was not particularly familiar with them.

There is often a line of small words next to it: [We also believe that the Liberal Party will not let us down]

Later, there were more and more such news. Of course, everyone was very peaceful.

In the end, the company that Ivan interviewed and the Russell Institute took the lead in responding.Russell gave another speech, showing that he was aware of the previous loopholes, and would generously reform the research, that is, formally suspend the recruitment of more volunteers.As for the worms who participated in the experiment, the experiment cannot be interrupted, but he will promise to give them high-end mechanical prosthetics that can be used for life after the experiment is over.At the same time, the Institute will also research and develop new energy sources to replace rare F2F substances.

"The Liberal Party will, as always," promised Russell, "focus on the equality and well-being of all worms."

The day he gave the speech happened to be the Independence Day of the main star.Independence Day is the second Sunday in May every year. It is intended to celebrate the end of the Civil War, the establishment of a federal system on the main planet, and the restoration of peace.A long time ago, when I was on Tobias Star, Ivan also celebrated Independence Day.Generally speaking, the day before that day, Holden would send Ivan to Todd's house, and drive to the town to buy lemonade by himself.That way, when it comes to Independence Day, they can simply celebrate.

Oddly enough, when Alvin recalls Independence Day, the first image that pops up is always Holden with lemonade.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of this annoying picture now.

Then he went downstairs with Ryan.

All the reporter bugs are sitting in the conference room watching the speech broadcast.While watching, they ate the cold ice cream specially offered in summer, so Ai Wen also took one.Roselle's speech was the same as always, sounding particularly exciting. Of course, if he could fulfill his promise, it would be even more fulfilling.

"He is a vane." After the speech, Ivan threw away the ice cream wrapper. "With his example, other related companies will gradually follow his pace. In the end, this part will definitely improve."

While walking out, Ai Wen received another message from the reception room asking him to go there to pick up the mail.Before, there were occasional fans who sent flowers and greeting cards to Aiwen, but after his article on mechanical prosthetics became popular, the number increased significantly, and Irga had to set up another receiving room to specialize in Stack the warm flowers and gift cards.Aiwen had to go there with Ryan every day to get the cards away, confiscate the food and some practical gadgets, put the flowers on the balcony, and finally attracted a bunch of bees.

In the end, he had no choice but to publish a small piece of content: [The heart has been received, please do not continue to give flower cards]

There are not many fan gifts today.Ryan helped Ivan pack a box of snacks, ready to send to Irga's public rest room; and sorted out the cards.One of them is very interesting. Ivan knew it was from Mick when he saw the package. There was nothing written on it, only a stick figure worm holding a stick figure prosthetic leg.

Ai Wen laughed for a long time: "He still can't get over this topic, right?"

He picked up the last unpacked box to examine.The box is white with a ribbon wrapped around it. Inside are cards and a large glass bottle with a golden label on it: [Independence Day Special: Limoncello]

The gifts all passed the security check, so Ivan unscrewed the bottle cap and smelled it.

"It's the first time I know that this stuff can still make wine." He put the lid back on, "I'd better send this to a non-toxic test first, if there is no problem, everyone can try it."

He handed the bottle to Ryan and opened the card.

Then he was startled: "This is sent by that anonymous worm!"

The reason why Aiwen was able to make this shocking discovery was that the first few words on the card were exactly the same as those sent to him by the anonymous bug at that time.He compared it further for a while suspiciously, feeling particularly strange in his heart.Anonymous has not appeared for several months, and his only meaning of existence seems to be to be a pusher on the day of the trial, so that Ivan and the Liberal Party will completely break up.

But now he sent Ivan a gift.

And a bottle of wine.

"That," Ivan remembered, "since it's him, the nature may be different... Let's take the bottle of wine back after inspection."

After he finished speaking, he was still racking his brains to think about the purpose of this worm.He looked down at the optical brain, and suddenly realized that he might still have the bug's communication method, so he immediately found the old dialog box, and stared at the black and white avatar that came with the system for a while.

Ryan: "Are you going to contact him again?"

Alvin said he thought he should ask what was going on.Before he had time to think about whether he should do this, his fingers were already typing, sending a message quickly.The message was as simple as thanking him for the limoncello, without asking what Anonymous was up to in the first place.

While waiting for a reply, they had already left with the things in the receiving room.They quickly passed several places they needed to reach, such as the food safety inspection office, the dormitory, and the parking lot downstairs.Now they bought their own car, so they can drive themselves when they go out, instead of bumping into Ilga's staff car every time.They also arranged for Independence Day celebration today, and Ivan is going to go out to watch a movie with Ryan or something—of course, if it is a private room, otherwise he may be overwhelmed.

As usual, the car runs automatically.

Alvin poured himself a glass of lemonade—the last major battle before the end of the Civil War has been dubbed the "Battle of the Lemons" by historians because it involved a particularly ingenious military deception involving lemons... Alvin's History isn't great, so he keeps forgetting what the hell the general did with the lemons.Anyway, that's why every Independence Day, the streets are full of automatic machines selling lemonade, and the anonymous bug gave him lemonade.

At this moment, Ai Wen suddenly shook his hands and almost spilled lemon juice all over his pants.

Ivan yelled: "He wrote back!"

I saw the words on the light brain: [You're welcome, Happy Independence Day. 】

Alvin: "Uh, what should I reply now?"

After much deliberation, he said to the anonymous worm: [Happy Independence Day.But I don't have a chance to give you a present. 】

Anonymous Worm: 【Why did you give me a gift?Logically speaking, I should apologize, after all, your previous life was quite peaceful. 】

Aiwen: [In this case, I have always been curious about something.May I ask why you came to me in the first place?Just to let me know these things?You should know that even now, I'm not in a position to do anything about it. 】

This time, however, Anonymous began to answer irrelevant questions.

Anonymous Worm: [But now, you have become a target.After this incident, the Liberal Party will feel that you are a threat. 】

Anonymous Worm: [Please proceed with caution.Last wish: Happy Independence Day. 】

After speaking, his profile picture went dark again.

Also dimming is a small patch of sunlight in front of Ivan.Because Ryan had stood up suddenly, walked forward, and grabbed the automatic handle of the car.

"Alvin," he said, "come here, there's something wrong with the wayfinder—this is not the way to the movie theater!"
