"Pfft~ giggle~"
Hehehehe~
Hehehe~
Hahahaha!
He answered honestly, his feigned simplicity making everyone present laugh. Lianfeng gently covered her mouth with the back of her hand, a smile playing on her lips.
The other two girls, Du Qiangwei and Lena, one was smiling with her head down, and the other was laughing heartily.
Dukao smiled and said, "If you had been this well-behaved yesterday, we wouldn't have gone to all this trouble."
Wang Ji smiled innocently, his young and handsome face exuding a kind of natural naiveté. Although everyone knew it was fake, it was still quite amusing.
Yesterday, the effort to catch this guy was even bigger than the battle against the Taotie!
Flanked by him from both sides, he honestly replied, "It's mainly because I've watched too many movies, too many... um."
Dukao chuckled and ignored the little rascal.
If we don't take it too seriously, all of this child's behaviors can be understood based on his upbringing.
"Yes, I've heard some things about your situation, and I've also learned more from what I just learned..." Chief Huang Ze said, looking at Wang Ji.
His naturally serious expression was tempered with a hint of kindness: "Would you be interested in telling me what you would do if you suddenly gained superpowers and went abroad to Country A?"
All eyes were fixed on Wang Ji, and they were all wise ones. He was smart enough to understand that in this situation, they could discern the truth from falsehood in every word he said.
"Um……"
Wang Ji paused for a moment. Under the old man's gaze, his naivety gradually faded, leaving only a habitual smile. He said, slightly embarrassed, "To start a business..."
The group exchanged amused glances, while Huang Ze looked at him seriously and asked, "What kind of business are you in?"
His gaze was like that of someone looking at a somewhat immature child, and in fact, it was.
"It's just... you know." Wang Ji's young face showed a hint of age-appropriate shyness, clearly indicating that this was something he found difficult to talk about.
He continued, "It's not just country A, but I'll probably go to many other places. You know, with my current abilities, I can probably do anything very easily."
The quality of life will be excellent, social status will rise, freedom will be readily available... and so on.
When these words were spoken, no one was surprised, but their smiles involuntarily faded a little.
"To be a mountain king? Or to rule the world?" the old man Huang Ze continued to ask.
He wasn't surprised; with his intelligence, he could see through many things, especially people's hearts.
A-Jie and Du Qiangwei, who were beside Wang Ji, were somewhat surprised, as was Du Kao Lianfeng. After catching the kid yesterday, they had asked him many questions, such as why he ran away, but the responses were just perfunctory, as if they were telling the truth.
Ah Jie stayed by Wang Ji's side all night, but they couldn't get a single honest word out of each other.
However, when facing Huang Ze, they could all sense that Wang Ji's attitude had become much more serious, and he seemed to trust Huang Ze more.
Could it be because I always see it on TV?
"Being a king of a mountain is too small, ruling the world is too big, but if I develop as much as possible, it will be enough to turn my life upside down."
I don't have many detailed plans because I haven't had any real contact with the outside world yet. I only have some concrete knowledge from the online world, but it shouldn't be too difficult.
If there is any force similar to mine, I will inevitably come into contact with it sooner or later, whether through cooperation or struggle.
Wang Ji did not deny it; his gaze was calm as he looked at the old man opposite him.
"As expected." Huang Ze nodded.
The crowd fell silent, looking at the eighteen-year-old boy as if they needed to get to know him all over again.
"Then why do you have to go abroad?" the old man asked.
“That’s very simple…” Wang Ji’s arm was supported, but he seemed to have regained some of the composure that a superhuman should have. His expression was calm: “If I were a menace, I wouldn’t bother to harm my own people and country.”
Although I believe I am most likely to succeed, and if I do succeed, I will not only not harm others, but will also benefit them.
"Having superpowers, haven't you ever thought about serving your country? Does it mean you lack trust in your country?"
The others looked somewhat solemn, but the old man Huang Ze had a slight smile on his face. He looked at Wang Ji as if he were looking at a junior or a child, with kindness and gentleness.
"If there are clear assessment and recruitment standards, and the salary and scope of work are clearly defined and conducted openly and fairly, maybe I would give it a try," Wang Ji admitted. "But there is nothing. How can I guarantee that I won't encounter a dangerous situation like being sliced up, as seen in the movies?"
Should I tentatively approach each department I'm unfamiliar with, asking them, "Do you know what a superhero is? Do you know if the government is recruiting superheroes?"
I can't be that stupid.
To be honest, perhaps I don't have a very high level of awareness.
Compared to an uncertain future, and the possibility of losing one's life due to carelessness, it might be a hundred times better to take one's destiny into one's own hands.
And since I have the power, I should certainly take control of the future that is rightfully mine.
To be blunt with hindsight, if I were powerful enough to rule and live a carefree life, I might have been able to serve my country.
"Even though you just saved our soldiers, you still don't believe it?" Huang Ze said, then sighed with a wry smile, "You kid... in the end, you're still very suspicious and cautious."
Ultimately, this is just a normal, ordinary person's reaction, and he can understand it.
Considering this child's life experiences, no one can really blame him. His choices are closely related to his experiences and the personality he has developed.
