Chapter 5, the seemingly dangerous uncle
He continued to descend the stairs, while the short man was still trying to appease him with smiles. However, the tall and stout man, with a dark expression, had made up his mind to ignore him. He was fed up with the short man's worldly ways; he was nothing but a person devoid of a spiritual world! Clearly, he was just a walking corpse!
After being stunned for three seconds, we finally said in unison: "Shall we go eat?"
However, the man in front seemed not to have heard and instead changed direction, moving to the side at an angle
What a terrible reaction this is ... ! ... They all wish they could slap themselves!
Two people rushed back, shouting at the door for a long time, yet there was still no response from inside
As for the pest control department
There was a man and a woman, and their expressions appeared very stern, but this did not deter the tall, stout man and the short man. As outstanding students in one of the world's top combat academies, they simply could not fail to recognize the shoes of these two individuals, which were the standard issue shoes of the Pest Control Department, equipped with various nano devices, widely applicable, and originally designed by their academy
The short man pushed the tall, stout man with a puzzled expression and urged, "What is it?"
Li Jie discovered that the female administrator in the system maintenance area had not come for five days and had not left any message. If there is still no news by the time they reach the supply star in a few days, they will definitely have to hire someone new
However, Chen Shang's communication came through as expected
Where do you want to celebrate
Get lost! The tall and stout man, unable to endure any longer, turned around and left
As he watched the round figure depart from the spaceship in the virtual world, the tall and stout man and the short one had already left. It was the silence within that truly made this a refreshing world for him; if possible, he really wished to quietly stay until tomorrow
Feeling relieved, the short man anxiously asked the tall and stout man: "What is this uncle doing? Why are the people who eliminate the threat following him?"
The interview with Waterwood Year was successful, and after a one-year internship, a position will be decided. There are five competitors, and the regional general manager seems to have a good impression of my resume, so I estimate it will be this one. Chen Shang's voice sounded very happy, which is only natural, as Li Jie knew that his greatest desire was to join Waterwood Year, and there would be a chance to directly compete for the deputy supervisor position in the future, so he was genuinely happy for him. "I firmly believe it is Waterwood Year's fortune." This is also natural, as Li Jie knew that his greatest desire was to join Waterwood Year, and there would be a chance to directly compete for the deputy supervisor position in the future, so he was genuinely happy for him. "I firmly believe it is Waterwood Year's fortune."
The short man was stunned for three seconds by the excited emotions of the tall and stout individual, and then, in a moment of realization, he slapped his forehead and said: "Oh—what you mean is power! I was wrong; power is better than money. The world government is controlled by power over money, so of course, power is more formidable!"
However, the two pest exterminators who passed by them completely ignored them and quickly followed the direction of the unfamiliar middle-aged man
Apart from the destroyers, the second entity that absolutely does not wish to be involved is the department responsible for eliminating the destroyers and other threats to social stability—Disaster Relief
Tall and stout, he let out a gentle sigh, his expression somewhat heavy. "With such abilities as Li Jie possesses, it would be a great pity if he were to remain so reclusive in the future..."
The short man also busily pulled the tall and stout one, and the two of them stopped in unison
"Can you stop talking about money all the time?" Gao Dapan was infuriated by the constant association of everything with money by the short man, especially when he was discussing the pure and radiant spiritual world. Hearing the word 'money' felt like someone was splashing ink into his beautiful and pristine spiritual realm! "Am I talking about money? Is it money? Are they the same thing? I am talking about value, the self-worth achieved through one's own abilities in life, and the corresponding sense of social recognition!" www.hetushu.com.com
The tall, stout man, feeling flustered, suddenly exclaimed: "Why is that uncle looking for Li Jie? He must be someone extraordinary to be associated with the extermination of threats. Could his search for Li Jie be work-related?"
When Li Jie was born, it is said that they briefly lived in the eighth-level area. By the time he could remember things, they were already living in the fifth-level area
Such a calamity is, in itself, a form of terror
Forget it, let's find a job first, dinner can wait. The two individuals ultimately left helplessly.
The tall and stout man and the short one were stunned, yet they had to pretend to be nonchalant. They wanted to feign a casual conversation while standing there, but when they opened their mouths, they found their minds blank with fear, and for a moment, they couldn't find a topic to discuss.
"... Are we still in the electric shock gene room or have we entered the virtual game universe?" The short man and the tall, stout man exchanged glances, deliberating for a moment. They felt that it was not urgent at the moment; the key issue was that whether it was the electric shock gene room or the virtual game, their shouting was futile, unless they could establish communication, but they did not dare to do so.
It is no longer possible, it is no longer possible, I am finished, truly finished, earlier I was speaking with that uncle!
Since Chen Shang has matters to attend to, he should be able to spend today quietly in the virtual world. This tranquility does not instill any fear in Li Jie at all. Because in his memory, the home has been very quiet since he was very young. His parents were always out, and their union was opposed by the previous generation of both families, ultimately leading them to elope to Yanhuang City, where they have no relatives.
Li Jie does not want to lose his mother, nor does he want to lose his father, so he bravely adapts to the days without his parents by his side
But how would the tall and stout know? The short one is worried, and he is even more afraid
"What a waste after being full! What a pity? His parents have given him the freedom to manage the rent of thirty houses since his internship, over one hundred thousand a month! When can we earn even one-fifth of that and be content? Does he need to work? Are you still worrying about him? How ridiculous!" The short man retorted angrily, rolling his eyes at the tall, chubby one. "Are you still worrying about him? How ridiculous!" The short man retorted angrily, rolling his eyes at the tall, chubby one.
Chen Shang liked such affirmation. On the other end of the phone, he pushed up his glasses and said happily: "I still have to visit the other three companies, after all, we made an appointment. It won't hurt to see the situation."
If we were to elaborate, there would be too many stories. In brief, it suffices to explain the central tenet of the department responsible for eliminating threats: anything that could potentially harm social stability is deemed undesirable. Those who possess the ability to eradicate such threats must never be imprisoned. Tolerating the existence of such undesirable elements is a crime that wastes precious social survival resources
Hehe... The normal people in this world least want to be associated with the Destroyers Organization, which is an anti-world government armed group that disrupts order and plunders resources in order to obtain them
"Let's talk tomorrow." With that, the communication ended. Li Jie felt he could see Chen Shang's joy at this moment. Chen Shang's family background was not particularly good; although they lived in an area classified as Level 8, his father was no longer present, and his mother worked very hard to support him and his two younger sisters. Life in the Level 8 area was quite difficult. Some friends mentioned that Chen Shang's family was in a situation where they could be expelled to the Level 9 district or even to the marginal districts at any time.
Why does such a department evoke a sense of terror comparable to that of an anti-social destructive organization
Undoubtedly, the hope of their family rests on Chen Shang's graduation. The work situation is something that Chen Shang's family is naturally concerned about at all times; the sooner they know, the sooner they can feel at ease
The short man chased after him, forcing a smile as he quickened his pace and said earnestly: "Big Fat, I understand your intentions. But we are from two different worlds compared to Li Jie, and his matters are not ours to worry about. For us, it's enough to resolve our own survival issues and not to burden our friends or hold them back. Who doesn't know that Li Jie has become fond of staying at home because of fish? But do we really understand what he is thinking?"
Let's do it tomorrow, and we can discuss the practical matters of your graduation then. Since I can still go out today, I would like to return home for a while
The spaceship advanced through the silent virtual universe, moving forward... Li Jie sat quietly in the silent position of the first officer
Still in the electric shock room, he estimates he has to lie there for another half an hour. He connects the call to Li, who understands the virtual game world, while he, still in the electric shock room, is in various kinds of pain.
At this moment, Li Jie is actually still in the gene shock chamber
The tall and stout man directly approached the person, shouting from a distance: "Uncle! Uncle!"
"Big Fat!" The little man's expression suddenly became particularly serious, and his voice involuntarily rose a few notches as he reprimanded, "No one knows the real situation behind Li Jie and Yu's breakup. Since Li Jie is unwilling to speak about it, he must have his own reasons. If it weren't for our connection to Yu, would we have even met Li Jie and become good friends? Absolutely not! We don't even have the right to disregard our livelihoods for love, yet you think you can understand what Li Jie is thinking? Is that possible? How can we help him? We can only make things worse! We can only create trouble for him!"
... ... Go back and tell Li Jie.
Gao Da Pang was stunned for a moment, and surprisingly found the little man's words quite reasonable. However, he cared for his friends and wanted to help; could that be wrong? No, that was impossible! ... He felt he must think this through carefully ...
His mother said when he was four years old that it was perfectly acceptable to leave him in the care of the housekeeper robot, and she must assist Li Jie’s father with the *图* book, not only because it is a responsibility that should be shared between spouses, but also because such a prolonged separation would make them increasingly unfamiliar with each other, making it difficult to maintain their feelings solely through the waiting of longing.
"The phone is faster..." Gao Dapan felt it was inappropriate as soon as he said it. If the person who is eliminated uses this as a reason in the future, claiming they were tipped off, wouldn't that be digging their own grave? "Yes, I need to go back and say it face to face!"
Li Jie re-entered the virtual world universe, and the spaceship was quiet. Inside the monitoring room, there were only a few temporary employees at work. These individuals were also players; some were there to learn a skill, while others aimed to earn some money, managing various affairs in different areas of the spaceship
The tall and stout man involuntarily slowed down as he walked, eventually coming to a stop. He truly did not expect that the short man had been deliberately diverting his attention all along, nor did he anticipate that he would say such words. "Since we are friends, we all know why he has changed like this, we should do something to help him! We can find a way to inquire about Yu's current address. After all, Li Jie treated her so well back then—she should be willing to persuade Li Jie, right? What kind of friend just stands by and does nothing?" We can find a way to inquire about Yu's current address. After all, Li Jie treated her so well back then—she should be willing to persuade Li Jie, right? What kind of friend just stands by and does nothing?"
However, before the tall and stout man had the chance to think further, he suddenly saw a man approaching. He stared intently and quickly recognized the man's appearance. The short man sensed something unusual, turned his head to look, and laughed, saying: "This person isn't coming to look for Li Jie again, is he?"
Ah... is this person deaf? The tall and stout man quickened his pace, determined to catch up and convey Li Jie’s words, to prevent him from coming over to disturb again. However, just a few steps into his pursuit, he saw two more individuals emerge from the path the man had taken.
In the universe game
Indeed, if the exterminator were to find out, they would definitely come knocking, even though it has nothing to do with them. How the exterminator would judge the situation is anyone's guess! The short man furrowed his brow, increasingly worried about another matter.
