Zheng Yuantian naively thought that he could give up everything for his ideal of becoming a great businessman.
However, only after he really gave up did he realize how important what he had lost was.
Personal freedom is so important! If possible, he would have given it back at a greater price.
However, there was no way out. This matter was not his to decide. He could only passively accept his fate of being imprisoned.
During his days in captivity, he reviewed his life.
Throughout his life, he had ideals but had to face cruel reality. The impossibility of achieving his ideals made him despair.
He entered the wasteland in search of resources, resources that could be traded! He even wanted to hunt zombies, get their fangs, and get his first pot of gold.
However, he really encountered zombies, and he was no match for them. He was in great danger. At that time, he was really scared to death and vowed never to hunt zombies again.
He was grateful for escaping a near-death experience, nearly dying at the clutches of the corpse demon. He was thrilled to have obtained the system, see the mercenary mall, and realize the possibility of becoming a great businessman.
However, he was frightened by the corpse demon, so he immediately returned to the water fort. After he was safe, he found out that the mercenary mall actually required contribution points to exchange items.
But, he was really scared! What should he do?!
Zheng Yuan thinks like a businessman, so he naturally thought of trading, hunting zombies, completing tasks, and obtaining contribution points.
In the water fort, who else is more powerful than the Lord's Mansion and wants to trade with him?
So he came to the lord's house, but no one believed him. So Lord Zheng Yuan stayed at the lord's house, thinking about how to complete the deal with them. After hearing this, Gu Xing reported it to his lord, Gu Yan's father.
After Gu's father took the initiative to find out, he believed Zheng Yuan's words and told Zheng Yuan clearly that he would imprison him for a better deal and to keep it secret.
At that time, Zheng Yuan was grateful for being able to make a deal and did not care about his personal freedom.
The transaction was successful, but after a few days, he couldn't stand it anymore!
This was not the great businessman he had imagined! This was not his dream!
How can a prisoner be considered a great businessman?!
He felt like a prisoner, an animal, an object traded between his father Gu and the system, in any case, not a human being!
Later, Gu's father died!
I heard that Wu Zheng killed him! Gu's father's death gave him a new opportunity.
So, he didn't know what other people felt towards Wu Zheng, but Zheng Yuan only felt gratitude towards Wu Zheng.
For Gu's father, there is gratitude, hatred, and helplessness. Gu's father's death finally allowed Zheng Yuan to break free from Gu's father's control and see the dawn of freedom.
Gu Xing is far inferior to his father Gu!
Sure enough, Zheng Yuan soon had such a whirlwind opportunity and came into contact with many people.
Moreover, he also came into contact with Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng is indeed an amazing person!
"Sir, you are amazing!" Zheng Yuan said sincerely.
"Alas, you are the only one who thinks so. It's better not to say anything to others." Wu Zheng said helplessly.
"How can other people understand your wisdom and ambition?"
Wu Zheng sighed, "My parents gave me life, but Zheng Yuan is the one who understands me."
Zheng Yuan saw that the time was almost right and immediately pleaded, "Sir, please, save my life again!"
"Again? Why do you say again? I saved him before? Why don't I have any recollection of that?"
Wu Zheng thought to himself, "Did Zheng Yuan misunderstand something?"
Of course, with Wu Zheng's shrewdness, he naturally would not express his doubts.
He quickly asked, "Zheng Yuan, what's going on? What happened? Why are you asking me for help?"
Zheng Yuan sighed, embellished his words, and told the story again.
"Sir, I have no other choice but to ask for your help! I really can't bear the days of imprisonment. Please save me, sir." Zheng Yuan pleaded again.
After Wu Zheng thought about it for a while, Kairan agreed and said that he would definitely rescue him.
On the podium, Jin Chen had been keeping an eye on Zheng Yuan. Seeing that Zheng Yuan was actually involved with Wu Zheng, he shook his head slightly and said to Ruan Qi, "I didn't expect Zheng Yuan to be involved with Wu Zheng. Doesn't he know about Gu Yan's previous experience?"
Ruan Qi thought about it and nodded: "It's very likely, I really don't know."
"Ah? How is this possible? Everyone knows it?" Jin Chen asked in confusion.
"Everyone?! Xiaochen, when you say everyone, who are you referring to? You mean the nobles, right? Just because the nobles know, doesn't mean everyone knows. For example, right now in the parliament, there are many people who don't know. Do you believe it?"
"That's possible. But Zheng Yuan, he's a warrior! How can he be compared to ordinary people and warriors?"
"Warrior? He was promoted to warrior during his captivity. As far as I know, he was just a commoner. How could he possibly know what's going on between the nobles? Even if he did, it would be very biased. It wouldn't count. Given the information asymmetry, it's possible he thought Wu Zheng was a trustworthy and good person." Ruan Qi sighed, "Xiaochen, Fang Yuan and I used to live in the civilian and slum areas. We couldn't even get enough to eat. Who would have the time to care about the dirty business between the nobles?"
"This, this is a major event regarding the change of lords?!"
"No one cares about hunger, no matter how big a problem it is. This time, many people do know about the incident. It was caused by a shortage of food in the market, which led to the uprising of the people. It was because of Gu Yan's resignation and the parliamentary system's requirement for universal participation. Therefore, many people knew about some of the things going on among the nobles. However, not many people knew the details. Most of the superficial information is speculation. This is the case even for free people, let alone the imprisoned Zheng Yuan."
Only then did Jin Chen nod.
The people and things he knew were all in the aristocratic district, among the dandies and the servants and other people surrounding them.
They are indeed well-informed, but that doesn't mean everyone is well-informed.
"If that's the case, then, should we remind Zheng Yuan?"
Ruan Qi thought for a moment and said, "He's already been promoted to Warrior. I don't know if he's even made it to Two-Star Mercenary. You can add him as a comrade and tell him some information. However, don't forcefully make decisions for him. After all, this is his own business. We're all comrades, equals. You can't make decisions for him."
Jin Chen had been looking for something to do for a long time, so he said happily, "I know."
Ruan Qi looked at the happy Jin Chen, shook his head, and thought to himself: "I really don't know, what's so happy about such a hard job."
