Chapter 48 The Dragon Slayer Becomes the Dragon



Jian Zhizhen walked to her chair and pushed it away.

You've already suffered enough, so save your energy and just keep things as they are.

Giving such a tiny hope is worse than not giving it at all.

That would be fairer.

Many of those who were grabbing chairs also wanted to snatch one from Jian Zhizhen.

But ultimately, due to insufficient physical strength and the presence of the silver-clad man watching from the sidelines, he failed.

For them, it was nothing more than a fleeting, empty joy.

From the audience's perspective.

On one side, Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai are walking towards the light.

On one side were the people who were already in the slaughterhouse, now even more dejected and desperate than before.

It was quite painful to watch.

But leaving the chairs would be even crueler for these people. Who knows how much more bloodshed would result?

[After watching this, I cherish our time and space even more. I'm grateful for the highly developed world civilization and for the basic human rights that society provides us...]

Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai followed the man in silver back into the building and took the elevator to the top floor.

After exiting the elevator, the two arrived at a spacious, empty office.

The office has white walls and white floor tiles, and inside there is only a desk and a chair.

A middle-aged man with a hooked nose and wearing gray clothes sat behind a desk, propping his hands up and looking them over.

He looks exactly like an evil capitalist from an anime.

After dismissing the man in silver, he addressed Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai, saying, "I didn't expect that among the cripples, there would be two capable individuals like you. In this world, the greater the ability, the higher the status. Therefore, you two can skip punishment and become members of the enforcement team to arrest others."

Qin Yubai refused outright: "We don't want to be part of the executive team; we want to join the core departments and do research and development."

The man seemed intrigued, smiled, and asked, "Just you guys?"

Jian Zhizhen was even more direct than Qin Yubai: "With our abilities, we naturally want to transcend social classes. We don't want to work endlessly every day anymore, and we don't want to compete with the lower classes for resources. We want to join you and become the rule-makers of this world."

The man suddenly burst into laughter, and only stopped after a while, then spoke to the two young men in front of him.

“You’re too greedy. To be honest, everything you’re doing could be done by machines.”

"However, the reason why we upper-class people don't replace you and still have to work for you is partly to make society more stable and to give you something to do every day. Don't think about why you have to do these things."

As the man spoke, he stood up and walked to the window.

Looking down, you can see the slaughterhouse right there.

"On the other hand, the most important value of the useless people is that they provide us with fun."

He turned to look at Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai: "You saw how those people in the slaughterhouse struggled to survive, didn't you? It was quite amusing."

Both of them remained silent.

Actually, you'll understand once you take a look at this office.

In a typical boss's office, there are at least a few paintings and calligraphy pieces hanging on the walls, a decorative item on the table, or perhaps some green plants for decoration.

There's nothing here.

Their spiritual lives are extremely impoverished, even among the upper class.

Therefore, their only source of happiness is the low-level, backward kind of pleasure of tormenting others.

A moment later, Jian Zhizhen smiled as well: "We can help you... achieve a higher level of happiness."

The man paced back to his seat, glancing disdainfully at the wheelchair in Jian Zhizhen's hands: "You think you can make wheelchairs?"

Jian Zhizhen smiled gently and bent down.

"When I was making it, I was afraid someone would steal it, so..."

She positioned her wheelchair directly in front of the man, pressed the handle, and her gaze sharp.

"I installed some self-defense equipment."

With a soft thud, a metal bullet was fired from the wheelchair handlebars, hitting the man directly in front of him and punching a hole in the desk.

The man was startled, and his previous arrogant demeanor vanished instantly.

He quickly stood up and took two steps back, looking at Jian Zhizhen with lingering fear.

Seeing his reaction, Jian Zhizhen couldn't help but smile.

Upper-class people who bully the weak and fear the strong.

She gently placed her hand on her wheelchair and smiled faintly: "Boss, consider hiring us both. We want to achieve upward mobility and are confident that we can bring you a revolutionary mechanical transformation."

Would a man dare to refuse outright?

The bullet holes on the table were still steaming.

If I don't agree, the next time something steams will probably be from my own chest.

However, this is not something he can decide.

He looked at Jian Zhizhen quietly for a while, then made a phone call.

Clearly, he wasn't from the upper class of this society; he was just one rank higher than the silver-clad executives.

After briefly explaining the situation, the man hung up the phone.

He stood up, smiled at the two young men, and said, "Alright, we always give opportunities to talented people. We also hope you cherish this opportunity to cross social classes."

Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai looked at each other for a moment, and then smiled knowingly.

Viewers were so tense from the previous scenes that they barely posted any comments, but now that they've reached this point, the comments are flooding in:

[Aidi Zhen is so cool! Her bullet really hit my heart!]

[Let's review some of the currently confirmed trends for viewers who are following the plot: those who need to work constantly are the lower class.]

The executive team consists of lower-level personnel who have passed the assessment. They can be seen as intermediaries, responsible for punishing and managing lower-level personnel on behalf of those in higher positions.

Then, the Mashiro couple has finally put one foot into a higher level of society and can now do research and development.
