Qin Che opened his eyes—
Name: Qin Che
Age: 18
[Psionic Power: 400↑/400 (Instant Teleportation, Telekinesis)]
Neural Modification (Supernatural I)
[Mechanical activity value: 76%↓]
After four days of cultivation, his spiritual energy value increased again, which was good news for him. With a wider spiritual energy limit, his ability to sustain his energy was stronger, and he would no longer have to run back to rest after killing half of the people.
Counting the days, it's been almost two months since he transmigrated here. He went from being a prisoner to where he is now, which is not easy. If it weren't for his spiritual energy spells as a trump card, Qin Che estimated that he would have died several times over.
The atmosphere in the wasteland is definitely different.
The class system here is extremely rigid, and everyone prioritizes their own interests. In this sandcastle, compared to the inner city wall, the Black Street seems much more normal. At least before he appeared, the Sand Rat and the leaders of the other 20 communities genuinely supported and respected each other.
The small building that Li Jiuyuan gave him was located within the inner city wall. Qin Che did not live there, but instead sent a trusted aide of the Sand Rat to "keep an eye on the house" and inquire about news from within the inner city wall. Having a place to stay was indeed much more convenient.
Two days ago, Qin Che returned to the Shell Community.
They paid respects at Xue Lei's grave. He was relatively lucky; his body was just dumped on the road and stuffed into some alley. By the time they found him, he was already rotting. But at least he was a whole corpse. When Qin Che arrived, he was just ashes.
But that didn't stop Qin Che from chatting with him.
“Go well. I will take good care of the people in your community. I also asked everyone what they thought. The women still want to continue their sex work. I asked Long Da and Long Er to watch over Tiepi. That kid is quite clever and capable. Most importantly, he respects me.”
“You are the only person in this world who knows my background. Besides, I am a time traveler. I consider you a friend. After you died, I also helped you avenge yourself. Commander He of the Third Team of the Fourth Division, when I killed him, he glared at me and told me to let him go. I killed him for you.”
"Next, I'm going to get into the grain business. I have a factory, fully equipped and already installed. I'll be able to start producing synthetic starch in the next few days. The materials I need are simple and easy to find, and the cost is low. When those people on the inner city wall find out about this, they'll definitely come after me, but that doesn't matter. I'll kill them one by one."
"This jar of wine, you and I will each have half..."
Now, Xue Lei's ashes are kept in a box in the basement of the casino. Originally, they were supposed to bury him in the sand dunes outside, but Xue Lei's old flames just shook their heads and took him back while crying.
Qin Che only then realized that Xue Lei was actually quite popular in the community.
This kid is flexible and adaptable. If he were alive today, he would probably have made it big by now. Unfortunately, he wasn't destined for that.
Qin Che emptied the casino and converted the building into an office and residential building.
The center of Black Street is no longer Gerbil Community, but Shell Community. It has been renovated, but of course, there are no wooden structures in sight. It's all concrete and sand bricks, and rusty iron sheets.
The door was pushed open.
A pair of boots stepped in.
"This is not good; the Conservatives are going to cut our medicine supply."
The gerbil, with a gloomy face, brought back the latest intelligence about the inner city walls.
"Who said that?" Qin Che asked.
"Although Jiang Tianshu used me as a pawn, Black Street did not. He knows you are in power now and wants to find out your strength."
Seeing that Qin Che remained silent, the gerbil said, "He wants to see if you're worth associating with."
Qin Che: "It doesn't matter, Gerald, tell me how many cards Black Street has in its hand right now?"
Gerbil pulled up a rusty iron chair and sat down, saying, "Mining, slaves, organs, and flesh trade. Oh, and we also have a lot of labor. Those light industrial products can't be sold inside the inner city walls because the quality is a bit poor. We can only make money by smuggling them."
Qin Che asked, "Would the lords of the inner city really make a special trip to the Black Street to play with women?"
The gerbil laughed and said, "We're not running over here, we're delivering it to you. It's Xue Lei's unique door-to-door service model."
Qin Che: ……
"I've examined the girls' bodies for you. Xue Lei has been in contact with two other communities that run prostitution rings for several years now. He gives them a check-up every year, provides them with good food and drink, and they're kept healthy and plump. The main problem is that the inner city wall is illegal. Only crocodile heads can be sold in the high-end market, which many citizens can't afford. The Black Street has acquired a lot of customers. Some people are willing to pay for our services."
Gerbil added, "This is a project done by Crocodile Head. The fact that prostitution is illegal is also a bill they pushed for. They want to sweep the high-end market and ban this business directly at the social level so they can make more money. Prostitution itself isn't that profitable."
The more something is prohibited, the more expensive it becomes.
Qin Che understood this principle.
He said, "Will we continue to supply slave organs all the way to the inner city walls, with Jiang Tianshu taking over?"
“He doesn’t touch that. He’s the party leader. We deal directly with the party leader, who is his cousin. He’s very low-key and doesn’t show his face much,” Gerald said, frowning.
Qin Che understood the difference between a party leader and a political party leader.
The former are the de facto elders and power holders who manipulate the party machine to carry out their plans step by step.
A political party leader, on the other hand, holds a specialized position with their own authority and faces the public.
Qin Che said, "Slaves and organs, corresponding to the parts he cut, we will also cut."
"That means you've made your stance clear."
Qin Che smiled and said, "He respects me, so I respect him."
The gerbil glanced at Qin Che. This was the confidence of an extraordinary person. It was normal that the old men on the inner city wall hadn't figured out how to get along with this person yet.
After a few more exchanges, they'll understand.
"The Conservative Party will not give up the Black Street. They built this territory with their own efforts and have been operating it for so many years. They can't just give it up like that," Qin Che said.
The gerbil nodded and then shook his head, saying, "But you've become the one in power. Given Jiang Tianshu's personality, he prefers people who are easy to control. The medicine is very important to us. If we cut off it, the consequences will be unimaginable. There are nearly 100,000 people in the Black Street. Do you know how many of them need to take medicine every day?"
"How many?"
"More than 60%."
"so much?"
The gerbil sighed, "Many of the medicines provided by Jiang Tianshu are psychotropic pills. The people in the underworld suffer too much, and they can only feel happy and joyful after taking these medicines."
Qin Che crossed his legs. The sofa he was sitting on was the same one where Xue Lei had once sat.
Not far away, Xiao Tao brought over two glasses of wine with another girl. The wine was yellowish, cloudy, and had floating matter inside. Qin Che had gotten used to drinking it recently. The wine in Black Street was also brewed from grain. However, because grain was precious, wine was considered a luxury among luxuries in Black Street.
Qin Che leaned back against the sofa, enjoying its softness and comfort.
In the darkness, the agile woman, Lina, spoke calmly: "If you need pills, I can help you contact Li Shuai, but smuggled drugs will be very, very expensive."
