Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 889 The Age of Attack

Imperial nobles never talk like that.

To be more precise, the nobles of the empire never said such blunt and self-deprecating words.

So the meaning expressed by the big man is very euphemistic, this invitation - a banquet to some extent, every corner of this banquet, the arrangement of every item, the look of every waiter, and even the gestures of some guests , are expressing the meaning of the big man.

The banquet held by the organizers at their own expense was extremely luxurious. Things that only nobles could enjoy in the past, things that ordinary people could not even imagine, were placed in front of the local entrepreneurs of the first island chain—— According to Li Shoucheng He said that all the entrepreneurs present here are entrepreneurs who have risen after the completion of the mechanical hive. They are the real "new money", not even people from the Monka era.

Why don't the big guys go to the big companies, but go directly to them, Chen Yan can think of the answer to this question with his butt - the big guys are still not big enough, not big enough to sit there, the domineering aura will make the big guys At the point where the big business groups are following the lead, they can only start with the mud legs.

It wasn't until Chen Yan found a resin injection soaked in a beautiful dry ice container in the corner of the banquet hall that he learned about the big man.

"Hey, classy."

Li Shoucheng followed Chen Yan all the time, saw the injection, and whispered in a teasing tone:

"The purer the sesame oil, the better it is to use, and the less negative effects on the body. I have heard that the sesame oil used by the rich is a customized version of high-end products. I didn't expect to see it here."

Chen Yan frowned and said:
"Rich people also eat aerospace fuel waste?"

Li Shoucheng obviously knew the way, squinting his eyes and said:
"This is not scrap, it's real raw material. It belongs to the official imperial military control products, and ordinary people can't get it... Ordinary connections are not good enough, you have to be a direct descendant."

Chen Yan:

"This person's connection is in the military."

Li Shoucheng was noncommittal:
"I know that those things can't be put on the table. The specifics depend on how the relationship within the empire is calculated... But I guess it's more or less the same. It's almost the same everywhere."

The military wants a piece of the pie... This is a bit strange. As far as Chen Yan knows, the original head of the pioneering regiment, Barr Darkrod, belongs to the navy establishment of the empire. After the island is liberated, even if the cake is divided, it stands to reason It is also the head of the Imperial Navy.

But then Barr Darkrod cut off his arms and cut off the gunpowder store that was very likely to be whitewashed and became the largest company in the first island chain. Since then, its status has plummeted. Control of an island chain is also affected.

He also thought, in fact, things cannot be calculated in such a simple way. Klein made it clear before that the development of the island chain, as well as the subsequent World Wide Internet of Things, the colonization of the lunar orbital matrix and the star chain, were all planned by the empire long ago. If it’s a matter, then the navy’s taking the island back then must have been part of the plan. It’s probably possible to drink soup, but eating meat... I’m afraid it’s up to skill.

While Chen Yan was thinking about it, a voice suddenly sounded beside him:

"Li Shoucheng, you can come to such a place now."

As soon as Chen Yan turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man in formal attire looking at Li Shoucheng with eyes that could not be described as gloomy or suppressed murderous.

The latter showed obvious fear, and Chen Yan could even feel the clear emotions of "fear, vigilance, vigilance, killing intent..." floating in the air.

These emotions disappeared without a trace in the next moment, and Li Shoucheng's expression also returned to normal from slight hysteria.

"Lord Darkrod, long time no see."

Li Shoucheng hid everything in his heart, and Chen Yan could no longer feel any emotions overflowing from the air.

The obvious "disgust" that only existed for a moment on Bar Darkrod's face also disappeared. He glanced at Chen Yan and said something that seemed to have no beginning and no end, but it was actually a warning:
"The days of Days Island are gone forever, and it will become increasingly difficult for entrepreneurs to do business, but everyone will earn solid money in the future, so they should spend it with peace of mind."

Chen Yan heard the warning in his words, and responded:
"Abiding by the laws of the empire is a prerequisite for business operations."

What Bar Darkrod wanted to hear was obviously not this. The vague emotion in his eyes clearly made Chen Yan understand, and he regarded Chen Yan as a type of person similar to Li Shoucheng.

"Since you've come up, do things well in the future." He looked at Li Shoucheng: "You are lucky, much better than A Lang and the others. Since you have such good luck, you should cherish it."

The word "A Lang" seemed to have touched a nerve in Li Shoucheng's nerves. His expression was stiff, and he stopped talking, and only uttered a short "Yes..." with an ugly face.

Bar Darkrod shifted his gaze to Chen Yan's face again, and after looking into his eyes for two seconds, he said "I hope you have a good day", and then left straight away.

"damn it."

From the corner of Li Shoucheng's eyes, through the gap between the crowd, he squinted at Bar Darkrod's back, his unhesitating gaze was like a poisonous snake hiding to prey.

"Don't look at the righteousness of this old guy, in fact, I don't know how vicious it is, a brother who is back to back in the trench kills as soon as he says, and a comrade who has been eating at the table for several years, he doesn't take it seriously at all!
This man is a complete lunatic!He is a murderer who is more vicious than us gangsters! "

Li Shoucheng obviously realized that he had lost his composure, so he withdrew his vicious look and returned to his previous kind look.

"Actually, there is no need to be too jealous. He is a toothless dog now. He went crazy and pulled out his own teeth. Now no one can bite him."

Chen Yan asked:

"What did he say in the Navy?"

Although Chen Yan had a guess, he still wanted to look at the problem from another angle.

Li Shoucheng has now successfully laundered and landed through Chen Yan's company, and has become the company's second shareholder. After figuring out the equity structure of the empire, he knew that his interests were completely bound to Chen Yan, so he sincerely regarded Chen Yan as his own. People, explaining the problem now is also doing its best:
"The gunpowder store was originally going to be incorporated into a certain establishment of the navy. This operation is very difficult, because the group of people in the gunpowder store are real exiles, but for some people, some impossible things are just nodding and saying Just a sentence."

"As far as I know...it's not accurate news. The high-level navy is furious because Barr Darkrod cleaned up the gangs on Days Island, and even plans to send him to a military court."

Chen Yan asked:

"In what name?"

Li Shoucheng replied:
"It's said to kill prisoners of war... I don't know the details, and they have the final say on what name it is."

"I don't know what happened later, and this matter just fell into nothing. I guess Baer Darkrod himself must have made an effort. As for the direction of the effort, no one knows...Days Island No matter how powerful the gang is, they can’t even touch a small naval sergeant in the imperial capital, let alone a more senior officer who can deal with a major general like Baer Darkrod.”

Li Shoucheng's tone did not reveal disappointment, Chen Yan could only hear emotions like "envy" from his mouth.

"To be honest, Baer Darkrod's handling of this matter is too inhumane. He is not as ruthless as he is to kill a donkey. He is equivalent to killing his whole family, digging up his ancestors' graves, and not giving them any roots. The leftover... is really killing people."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes:

"I think there should be retribution for him doing such a terrible thing."

Li Shoucheng's tone was erratic:
"Yes, we thought so at the beginning, so everyone was secretly waiting for him to die. Who knows that nearly a month has passed, and he has nothing to do, not even a relegation... I guess there are big people behind him Yes, someone must have protected him, that's why he has been safe until now."

Chen Yan said:

"In any case, he can't influence things on the island now."

Li Shoucheng kept silent. His knowledge of the interior of the logistics center came only from rumors among gangs. He didn't even have access to the division of functions of the logistics center and the open and secret struggles among the various factions. Groundless guesses meant nothing to them. significance.

Li Shoucheng enjoyed every moment of participating in this invitation. The bustling scenes originally only existed in his dreams. He clearly understood that he was an unworthy mud leg and an unforgivable criminal. He once committed crimes on the island. Those things are enough for any law enforcement agency to shoot him countless times.

So he showed enough humility, even though he had the status of a serious entrepreneur, he always only stood behind Chen Yan, like a small follower.

So he understood how hard-won everything in front of him was—even though the hard-won was mostly due to luck, how many times could such luck be encountered in a lifetime?

He met it, he grabbed it, so he had some achievements, which belonged to him, and he enjoyed it with peace of mind, and always remained in awe of it.

He is no longer that brave young man who spends his days in Monga, and Days Island is no longer that wild and uninhabited land, everything is bound by laws, and nothing can go back. up...

Suddenly, a phone call interrupted Li Shoucheng's memories.

He hung up the phone, greeted Chen Yan, left the conference hall, went to the bathroom, took out his mobile phone, and dialed back.

"Boss! Our venue has been smashed!"

Li Shoucheng's face froze, he frowned and said:
"I have emphasized to you countless times, don't call me boss again."

An anxious voice on the phone:
"Uncle Li... Our warehouse at the pier was smashed by a group of people and a batch of second-hand omnic prosthetics were destroyed! The business of [-] pounds is gone, and we have to pay liquidated damages!"

Li Shoucheng was filled with hostility:
"Who did it?"

The other side of the phone whispered:
"I don't know, I'm asking."

Li Shoucheng nodded slightly:
"Okay, don't kill me, I'll go right away."

He hung up the phone, feeling a little tired. He had killed a few rebels in the gang before, so no one is available now. The brothers below are not from the monga era, and their methods are not cruel enough to control the situation. It is expected that the venue will be smashed.

Li Shoucheng hesitated in his heart. He is a serious person now, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be involved in such things anymore.

But business has to be done, as long as there is a business, there must always be someone to control the place.

He made up his mind to stop after completing this order. It can be regarded as repaying the kindness of his brothers who have worked hard for him in today's family business, and it can also be regarded as a complete cut with the tie gang, distributing those shady properties to his subordinates , From then on, I will never intervene in such things again.

Thinking of this, he left the Z area of ​​the mechanical hive and headed towards the dock of Days Island.

……

On the other hand, Chen Yan was still at the banquet. He came today at Klein's invitation. In any case, he had to wait until the banquet was over, meet with Klein, and see if the other party had explained anything before considering leaving.

About an hour later, the big man made a speech at the banquet and became the focus of everyone's attention. He proposed many specific support projects, and even sent a detailed supporting project-related document to the entrepreneurs attending the banquet.

After reading the document, Chen Yan was quite moved. He concluded in his head that this big man was equivalent to giving everyone a complete Starlink immigration plan. The first implementation cycle of this plan is 20 years from the construction of industrial equipment in the early stage, investment attraction in the middle stage, and attracting more new immigrants into the colony in the later stage.

If the plan goes well, after 20 years, the executors of the plan will have a single-industry immigrant village, and the immigrant village will be the smallest basic administrative unit of the future imperial colony.

Looks like it's good...

Chen Yan didn't know the truth of the plan until another hour later, when she saw Klein:

"Purely cheating money, how can it be so smooth, the empire has already encountered a technological wall, and there will not be much technological development in the future, and the existing technology cannot allow humans to realize immigration within 20 years."

Klein Justus' complexion was very ugly, and his footsteps were heavier than before. Chen Yan felt his weakness.

Even so, Chen Yan still expressed his opinion:
"Unless the carbon-based life undergoes a collective ascension, and all upload consciousness and become silicon-based life with an omnic body?"

is an interrogative sentence.

Klein pondered:

"Things are more troublesome than imagined. The problem of omnic disease is particularly serious. The first batch of brain robots uploaded consciousness in the imperial capital has already had a large-scale outbreak of omnic disease. You can see the news on the Internet immediately."

Chen Yan's heart trembled:
"Large-scale outbreak? Infectious disease?"

Klein nodded:
"Yes, the omnic disease that broke out in the imperial capital this time is more like a virus... It is very dangerous, highly pathogenic, rapidly deteriorating, extremely contagious, and more destructive than carbon-based viruses. I don't know. How many times."

He wiped the sweat from his brow:
"It's not the time to talk about this... I'm running out of time, you come with me."
