Foster's
Under the warm yellow light of the lounge, Wu Ci knocked on the edge of the pool table. "How do I know that you won't do something bad to me in the middle of the game, or just use me to achieve other goals for you?"
"Sign a contract, and have it certified by Sky Group."
It was because his original body signed contracts and took out loans at random that Wu Ci, who was now serving the capitalists as a dog, felt physically uncomfortable just by hearing about the contract, not to mention that it was a contract with the Sky Group.
"Just write the contents of our conspiracy on the contract and take it for certification. Will Zhen Shanhe approve it?"
"Why not just find any excuse? If it's from the Ministry of Finance, then it's corruption and bribery. It's not like he hasn't done it before." Wu Fu said as he opened the bracelet on his hand, deleted and modified the contents on the virtual screen, and sent the electronic version of the contract to Wu Ci.
"Sign it and we will automatically verify your biometric information."
Wu Ci carefully read the contract and found it to be extremely brief, without any language traps or word games.
It simply states the identities of Party A and Party B, the obligations they should fulfill, and the impartial third party, Sky Group.
As for the specific content, in abbreviated form, the general meaning is:
Yu Xuan, the Minister of Finance of the Special Management Bureau, neglected his duties, worked without doing anything, accepted bribes, and bought and sold official positions. Party A Wu Fu and Party B Wu Ci are dedicated to contributing to the people and cannot tolerate the continued existence of such a tax thief and system parasite. They are determined to work together to get rid of him. During this period, Party A and Party B will definitely not be enemies with each other.
At the end of the contract, it was also written in a meaningful way that they did not do such a thing for the sake of coveting positions, but were loyal to the organization and would take vacant positions assigned by the director and the unit without any complaints, thus giving enough superficial efforts to stabilize the country.
Wu Ci finally signed the contract with the Sky Group once again. The bracelet automatically extended a mechanical probe and pierced the blood vessels in his wrist. With a stinging pain like that of an ant bite, the bracelet had already drawn blood and recorded his biological signals, and sent the signed contract directly to Zhen Shanhe's mailbox bypassing the notary office.
"What exactly do you plan to do?" Wu Ci asked.
"He doesn't pay much attention to us newcomers. I also asked Yu Chang, who has a good relationship with me, from the Medical Department. Zhen Shanhe didn't disclose our appearance and identities to them, so he doesn't know us."
Wu Fu kicked the vending machine beside the wall while speaking, and took out two bottles of iced drinks without paying.
"This is the bad thing about buying drinks without paying. Every time it's like a random blind box. I wanted to kick out two bottles, but it turned out to be a bottle of strong tea and a bottle of half-sugar strawberry... I really don't understand why they made such a stupid decision to sell strong tea and fruit tea together."
He was not ashamed of not paying, but proud of it. He shook his head and commented while picking out two bottles of drinks and asked Wu Ci, "What flavor?"
"I prefer strong tea, thank you."
Wu Ci took the drink thrown to him by Wu Fu, confirmed that the packaging was intact and had no signs of having been opened, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip politely.
The taste is like Pu'er, terribly bitter, but this bitterness is not natural, just pure bitterness, no other flavors or sweetness, probably because of the technology and hard work of this era. But it's okay after being chilled, and the taste of cheap additives can be ignored.
Wu Fu was not as subtle as Wu Ci. He sat cross-legged on the billiard table and drank a bottle of strawberry tea. He threw the bottle casually, and the bottle drew a parabola and hit the metal cover on the head of the cleaning robot not far away, making a clanging sound.
The robot emits an imperceptible humming sound and begins to work tirelessly, cleaning up the plastic bottles and breaking them down into energy on the spot as kinetic energy for its work.
The jazz music on the radio continued to play after the urgent news broadcast, soothing and relaxing, completely drowning out the sound of the robots working. Combined with the warm yellow light in the lounge and the obviously soft brown fabric sofa next to it, it made people feel a little drowsy.
Wu Ci resisted the urge to lie down on the sofa and close his eyes, and listened to Wu Fu saying, "He has a hidden casino in the central city, which is specially provided for the upper class to have fun in their spare time, as well as those poor people who are unfortunate enough to be noticed by him.
I don't know what his cards are, nor do I know his specific hero. I only know that the casino is very secretive, and apart from the nobles who are invited, only the poor who are unfortunate enough to be chosen are eligible to enter."
Wu Ci frowned, having already vaguely guessed what the senior Finance Minister was thinking, but he still asked, "Unfortunately, he was favored? The poor don't have any gambling capital, so why did he bring the poor in?"
"It's just a bad taste. With more money and more power, he likes to play tricks. In order to please him, his subordinates will pick out various poor people who are desperate because they have no money. He will choose the poor people he likes and invite them in as the 'lucky ones' at the beginning of each day's gambling. He will give a chip and let the 'lucky one' gamble with the nobles who won the most that day in various forms. If they win all the bets, he will fulfill one of the lucky ones' wishes."
"What if you lost the bet?"
"There is no such thing as losing. Commoners who have nothing do not have as many chips as nobles. They only have themselves as chips. The chip that is released represents the life of the lucky person."
Wu Fu put his hands on his neck, laughed loudly, and lay on his back on the pool table. He looked at the warm yellow light on the ceiling and sighed, "So, for those poor people who are in desperate situation, this is a game where they risk everything. If they lose once, he will take their life away. As a result, there are still people who take advantage of his evil taste and treat this as some kind of urban legend that can change their destiny. They all want to encounter it."
Wu Ci didn't respond to his words, but jumped directly to another unrelated topic, "Have you ever wanted to meet him?"
"What?"
Wu Ci raised his lips, "I'm asking, were you once a poor person? Have you encountered this before? Or someone you know died in his casino, and now you take revenge as soon as you get the chance?
Otherwise, you wouldn't have found a reason to pick him first without knowing his specific abilities."
"Ah, you guessed it, it's my mother."
Wu Fu was not angry either. He lay on his back and smiled, "She is a prostitute in the downtown area. Her alcoholic father got her pregnant when she was a child and forced her to sell herself. He beat her when she didn't obey. Her father beat her so hard that she had an abortion. The money she earned from selling her body was used to buy her father's alcohol."
"Later, because she was pretty, she was played with by a company guy who came to downtown to have fun for a whole night. He had a lot of fun and was rewarded with a big tip.
This gave her hope, so she took the money and eloped with another guest who said he wanted to marry her. "
"You also know how untrustworthy a man's words are in bed. A naive and foolish woman like her who had no experience in the world was quickly squeezed dry of money and thrown away after playing with her. Oh, no, she was sold out by her trusted husband."
"She is not working as a self-employed person, but is organized. She has signed a contract and cannot escape.
She didn’t give up and continued to do it. Later, for some reason, the condoms and medicine didn’t work, and she accidentally gave birth to me with an unknown customer.”
"She was determined to raise me and let me study. She wanted me to be a superior person, to climb to the top, to redeem her, and to lead a good life with her."
Wu Ci had seen many stories like this, so he remained calm and said, "Please forgive me for interrupting. I personally think that dwelling too much on the past will only make you indulge in it, so please get to the point."
"Well, to put it simply, she can't afford my tuition, but she sold herself a long time ago, and the contract is still certified by the Sky Group. After her death, her soul will return to the Sky Group, so she can't get a loan. And she knows the twists and turns behind the loan, so she doesn't want me to bear the loan."
"So she allowed the customers to treat her rudely for more tips, and she didn't go to see a doctor." Wu Fu commented, "That stupid woman is always so optimistic, she doesn't know that a drop in the bucket can make a big difference, she only knows that a little bit adds up to a lot."
"Somehow, this matter was later known to the subordinates of the senior in the Ministry of Finance, and she was chosen as the lucky one."
Wu Ci asked with certainty, "She died in there?"
"Yes, she died in there, but it was considered a missing person. The money she didn't pay back and the souls she owed fell on my head." Wu Fu smiled without any gloom, "Fortunately, I am a real 'lucky person'. I have the talent of a spiritualist and was not captured and taken to the mine. Even if I became a dog of the capitalist, it was in line with her wish. I climbed to a high position and had the opportunity to avenge her."
Wu Ci sighed, "You clearly know that it wasn't just that bad-tempered senior from the Ministry of Finance who killed her."
"I know that the reasons for her death include Sky Group, my role as a burden, her alcoholic father, the environment she grew up in, and her own stupidity. She has been around for so long but still hasn't changed.
But I have no ability to change the world. I am not the outstanding son she imagines. I am not even worthy of her relying on me for survival and working so hard for me every day.
I am a rotten person and a coward who has let her down. I don't even have the courage to hate the Sky Group. I can only be a dog in shackles, oppressing countless people like her, while deceiving myself and seeking revenge on the fuse that killed her, as a way to comfort myself and try to alleviate my guilt. "
Wu Fu calmly stated and analyzed himself, but he stopped talking, as if the warm yellow light was blinding. He rubbed his eyes, jumped off the billiard table and stood up. "He likes to stay in there every day. Let's take action now, rush over and kill him. The simpler and more sudden it is, the safer it will be."
Wu Ci did not object and tightened the lid of the bottle of strong tea in his hand. "Didn't they say that only the upper class and the lucky ones can enter? How do you plan to get in?"
"This is why I need your help." Wu Fu patted his shoulder. "Have you heard of the Folster family?"
The witch stopped talking.
Of course he knew this family. Wasn't this the family that his simulated identity in the Solomon Empire belonged to?
"What happened to this family?"
"During the Solomon Empire, this family had a very good warrior viscount who participated in the Crusades. It is said that this viscount had a photographic memory and could recite the thick scriptures of the church at that time by heart. He was very outstanding. Once he accepted a mission to escort a foreign princess. He took good care of the princess on the way and died to protect her.
Later, this princess who was sent as a hostage suffered humiliation in the palace as a foreigner. Unable to bear being looked down upon by the servants, she climbed into the bed of Emperor Bitteray II and had improper relationships with many nobles at that time.
This princess was much smarter than my mother, that stupid woman. She was able to get along with both sides and play with these men in the palm of her hand. Then, she used these relationships to gain many supporters and control of the army, and killed her husband to take the throne.
As you may have guessed, the princess posthumously conferred the title of earl on the viscount who died to protect her...and it just so happened that the viscount was an illegitimate son of the Foster family, so according to the rules of the time, the territory and title were inherited by the eldest son of the Foster family.
You know what? I feel bad for that viscount. If his title hadn't been inherited by his family, and his territory hadn't been abandoned and distributed to other families, and he had become a hero, he could have gone to the royal family to inherit his territory and title."
Wu Ci's mouth corners slowly straightened.
Damn it! His territory! His title! Got it for the Folster family! His father, who used a fake identity, must have been overwhelmed by this unexpected fortune!
Moreover, the territory and title can actually be inherited even now!
When this is over, I must continue the simulation and take all his things back!
Well, the foreign princess he escorted was quite nice. She was very grateful even after he tricked her into giving away her Mechanical Heart. You should take better care of her in the next round. At least don't let her be looked down upon by even a servant like in this round.
When the time comes, I will return the favor by asking the princess to confer him the highest title, and instruct them in advance not to leave his things to the Folster family, but to keep them until now for him to inherit.
Why are there so few comments? Aa ...
