In the dream, after a brief silence, Hayward started to find a topic again:"By the way, I still don't know where you are from and what your background is like?"
"I come from an ordinary civilian family. As for my hometown... I'd say I'm from Donghai. Why are you suddenly asking this?" Zhang Lie looked over in confusion.
"Then our backgrounds are similar, we are both from the lower class." Hayward immediately began to persuade,
"When I was a child, I was very envious of those nobles at first, but later I realized it was impossible to become them, so I started to be jealous. Do you have this feeling?"
Zhang Lie nodded slightly, but then shook his head and said,"Just one's birth determines everything. Envy is certain, and there will be jealousy, but envy is the main thing.
Our parents worked hard to benefit us, and we naturally work hard to make the next generation live a better life. This is fine, but the most terrifying thing is that the class is solidified and there is no upward channel.
However, in this world, strength can change destiny, and enough strength can also become a noble. I am not an enemy of them because of jealousy.��
Hayward did not give up:"But strength cannot do everything. Some people are born with everything, wealth, power, absolute control over the lower classes, and dominating the fate of others. Isn't this enviable?"
"What you said…"
Zhang Lie didn't finish his words and turned his head to where the Tianlong people had stood before. Hayward also reacted and looked over there. Then the two of them quickly turned their heads back and waved their hands repeatedly.
"Forget it, it's too disgusting."
But we can't stop here, Hayward continued to ask:"Isn't there anything that makes you very jealous?"
"Of course!" Zhang Lie gritted his teeth, as if forcing the words out,"Luffy, that bastard!"
"Hmm? Does this person have any background?"Hayward's eyes lit up.
"The Empress likes him, such a beautiful super beauty likes him! And she is chasing him! He doesn't take it seriously! Every time I see this bastard, I want to beat him into a pig's head!"
"Did you fight then?"
"Isn't this just a thought? Although I am jealous to the point of separation, I can't really beat him up for this, right?"Zhang Lie spread his hands,
"Besides, there are other beauties without Hancock, not just her."
That being said, he turned his head and covered his heart and said to himself:
"But she is the first, so she is still jealous! I have decided that I must beat up that bastard when I see him again!"
Hayward tempted,"Have you ever thought about killing that guy named Luffy?"
"What a joke! Not to mention that I can't kill anyone for this, and not to mention that we can be allies, just talking about the elders behind him, I'm going to jump into this shit pit if I don't want to live."
"It seems that his identity is not simple. Who are the elders?" Hayward showed a gossipy expression.
Zhang Lie was not stupid and said casually:"Don't ask, it's not good for you."
""Okay, okay, boring." Hayward looked bored, then cheered up,"To apologize for what happened before, I prepared some gifts for you."
"Gifts? They are just illusions. You still dare to call them gifts? Take them out and let's see them first." Zhang Lie was full of contempt.
Hayward waved his hand casually, and a huge palace appeared in front of him. He stretched out his hand and gestured:
"The gift is inside, please come in"
"Why not just take it out directly instead of being so mysterious?"That's what he said, but his body was honest. Although it was an illusion, it was good to feel happy.
He walked forward and pushed open the palace door. It was magnificent inside, with the dazzling light of gold everywhere.
The tables were all made of pure crystal, decorated with top-grade agate gems, hung with masterpieces of oil paintings, and displayed with precious antiques.
Gold bricks were used as ornaments, pearls were piled up like mountains, silk and satin were used as tablecloths, diamonds and jade were used as lampstands, the decorations were colorful and bright, and the hangings were crystal clear and dazzling. Anyway, everything that caught his eye was filled with one word - money.
"Rich, really rich, even artworks look like they are made of money, too vulgar."
Zhang Lie complained as he touched everything, holding gold bricks, grasping pearls, holding candlesticks, and wrapping tablecloths. He felt that his hands were not enough.
"It's so vulgar, so vulgar... I'll take off another big gem, you see, it's so red that it touches my heart."
Hayward put another piece of tablecloth on it and asked,"What do you want to eat? You can eat whatever you want here. You can enjoy the fun of delicious food without feeling full. You can eat whatever you want and eat as long as you want."
"Can I eat whatever I want?" Zhang Lie really likes delicious food, and quickly said,"Then give me a full banquet!"
""Man... Man Han Banquet? What is that?" Hayward was stunned. He had never heard of it.
"It's steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails, etc."Well, he only knows crosstalk.
"Have you ever eaten it? Do you know what it looks like and what it tastes like?"
"Of course I haven't eaten it. Why would I eat here when I can eat it outside?" Zhang Lie said confidently.
"Sorry, no."
"It's OK if there isn't any." Zhang Lie thought for a moment and said,"Then let's serve Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Boiled Cabbage, and Wensi Tofu."
"……"
Hayward didn't expect that he was full of confidence, but ended up turning over here. He had no idea what these were, and looking at Zhang Lie's expression, he knew that he had never eaten them before.
"Well, I know from your expression that you don't have any of that, so stop bragging. I'm not interested in the so-called"delicious" things in your memory."
In the real world, Hayward looked helpless, silently added a check mark to a word, and then changed it to a half-check mark again.
"Even if you get half right, you'll pass, but I won't give you a right answer, so you think I've never seen the world, huh."
Although Hayward took a small revenge outside, everything was normal in the illusion. The temptation of food was gone, but these riches were still okay.
"Mr. Zhang Lie, which of these treasures do you like?"
"Which ones? I like them all, but what does it matter if I like them? They are all fake."
"This is not necessarily true. Although the illusion is fake, there are still many relics of former nobles on the island. They are useless to me. If you are willing to become a guardian, these treasures can be given to you."
"Hmm?" Zhang Lie suddenly realized that what this guy said might be true, and his heart suddenly became hot,"Are you really willing to give it to me?"
"Of course, if you become the guardian, all the useless things on this island will be yours."
"That’s great. After I have money, I can… I can…" Zhang Lie suddenly couldn’t continue."If it were in the past, I would definitely be willing to do anything to get such a large inheritance, but now…"
"What's wrong now? Isn't it the same? Wealth is wealth, and it is wealth wherever it is."
Zhang Lie's eyes kept wandering around the room, looking at these gold, jewelry and antiques, but finally shook his head:
"Wealth is a resource. I wanted these things when I was confused before, but now it is different. I have found my goal. It is good to have wealth, but it does not matter if I do not have it. There is always a way to get wealth."
"What's more." Zhang Lie looked at Hayward, his face full of determination,"These need to be exchanged for guardians, which is something I can't accept."
Hayward smiled, and then said:"Then let's start the last project."
