"In this world, the slowest way to make money is to rely on your own unique skills," Qingzhun said while dealing cards: "Whether you are collecting tickets on the steam train, you are a skilled gambler, or you are a very good bun maker.
If you eat or write good novels, you may earn tens of millions a year, but the speed at which you make money is only third-rate. This is called making money by yourself."
Qingchen asked: "Then what is second-rate?"
Qingzhun said: "Model, when you create a money-making model that can be mass-produced and then sell it to other people, such as franchising, or collecting dividends, this is called relying on others to make money."
Qingchen: "Then what is first-class?"
Qingzhun: "Using capital to create capital is first-class. This is called money making money."
Qingchen: "Is there anything above first-class?"
Qingzhun: "Yes."
"What?"
"war."
The implication is that war is the most profitable enterprise, because it is overturning the past social structure, and the most essential goal is the replacement of power.
And power is something that even money cannot buy in this world.
Qingchen muttered: "You are the lobbyist sent by the shadow, you just want me to return to the Qing family to take over some power, and then give up my current small business as a conductor..."
Qing Zhun smiled and said nothing.
Qingchen said: "In terms of the speed of making money, what you said about first-rate, first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate is indeed true, but if there is no third-rate, no one will sell buns, no one will be a conductor, then there will be no second-rate and first-rate
will exist, they are the indispensable foundation of this world."
Qing Zhun said sadly: "Boss, the steam train is still running well without you. The steam train doesn't need you at all!"
"It seems so..." Qingchen said thoughtfully: "I feel like you are cheating when you deal cards, but I have no evidence."
Qing Zhun raised his eyebrows: "If I can win, you still need to use some tricks? You can say that I am not strong enough, but you can't question my brand."
Yangyang: "That's right!"
Qingchen turned to look at Yangyang speechlessly, "Girl, where are you from?"
At this time, Qing Zhun stood up, walked to the window and stared out the window in ecstasy.
They had reached the southern part of the Federation, and wherever the steam train passed, there were rivers and lakes everywhere.
There are no traces of human life beside those lakes. They are so clear that you can clearly see the fish swimming at the bottom of the lakes. They are green but clear, like a deep pool.
Like pieces of imperial green jade inlaid on the ground.
Qing Zhun said: "Stop playing cards for now, let's take a look at the scenery. The scenery is so beautiful."
Qingchen took a look at his cards and immediately became angry: "It's true that you didn't cheat when you dealt the cards, but when I had two kings, four, two, and four aces in my hand at the same time, you said you wanted to see the scenery.
?! How many times along the way have I lost my cards and watched the scenery if my cards are not good! What kind of brand is this!?"
Qing Zhun laughed happily and said: "Playing cards is not as important as this beautiful scenery."
Qingchen said: "People deliberately lose money to their bosses so that they can have a future. If you do this, you won't be promoted!"
Far away in the plain, there is a large lake shrouded in clouds and smoke. Qingzhun introduced: "That is Taboo Place No. 012, and it is also the most special taboo place in the Federation. It was once one of the largest inland lakes in the Federation. It is strange.
And powerful fish are hidden at the bottom of the lake, making it difficult for humans to set foot in it, and they don’t even know what its rules are.”
"How did this thing come into being?" Qingchen asked curiously.
"Some say that a certain demigod died while boating on the lake, and some say that a huge six-bearded catfish died inside, but no one has confirmed either theory," Qingzhun said: "That lake
There used to be a settlement of wilderness people nearby, who made a living by fishing on the lake. The fish there bite the hook very quickly and the meat is of excellent quality, and people do not have to enter forbidden places on the shore."
Qingchen asked curiously: "What now? Are the Wildernesses still there?"
"Chen killed them all," Qingzhun said: "Now there is a fish production base next to the lake. The entire federation's high-end fish and caviar are supplied from here, specifically for the Upper Third District. Otherwise, we can
Get off the bus here to taste the legendary most delicious seabass?"
Qingchen said: "Subordinates must have the consciousness of subordinates, and don't plan your itinerary at will!"
As a result, this time, as soon as he finished speaking, he received a slap on the back of the head.
The speed was so fast that Qingchen couldn't react at all.
Qing Zhun said with a half-smile: "You are addicted to playing, aren't you? You really thought that I didn't know what you were thinking. You guessed my shadow identity and refused to tell me. You just wanted to use me for two more days. You are surrounded by force."
Can a field awakener not sense my force field? Do you really think I don't know the characteristics of a force field awakener?"
"What are you talking about? I don't know anything..." Qingchen received another slap on the back of his head.
He was helpless. Even though he now had a B-level, he still had no power to fight back against this S-level.
Even though he knew that Shadow was going to take action, he still couldn't avoid it.
Demigods are like a high mountain. When you look at it from a distance, it looks like this. All high mountains in the world seem to be like this.
But only when you reach the foot of the mountain and look up at the towering, boundless mountain peaks, you realize that it is a mountain that is difficult for all living beings to cross in their lifetime.
Qingchen was also stubborn and said directly: "Do you remember that you praised Shadow as a good person? By the way, when you were in the Intelligence Unit, you were still trying so hard to pretend. You were obviously not there every time.
Fei thinks his acting is pretty good... Come on, let's hurt each other!"
Shadow's expression changed.
Bang, another slap on the back of Qingchen's head.
Yangyang hurriedly peeled off the tangerine and gave it to Shadow: "Ahem, don't get angry with him. If you hit him again, he will be beaten silly..."
Shadow said with a smile: "Miss Yangyang is still a bit discerning. If she hadn't been here, you would have been hit at least twice. Ever since you asked me to carry two mountaineering bags, I wanted to see what you could do.
No matter how much you do it, you will actually do it!"
Qingchen imitated Shadow's tone and said, "I was sent by Mr. Shadow to protect you..."
Shadow raised an eyebrow.
Yangyang quickly poured another glass of water for Shadow: "Calm down, calm down..."
Little Mengqian was almost crying.
At this time, Shadow didn't say anything more to Qingchen: "I have something to do, you two stay by my side and don't let anyone get close to me."
After saying that, he sat aside and closed his eyes.
Qingchen was stunned for a moment. The scene he had seen before appeared again, and the shadow's breath disappeared.
No, to be precise, the frequency of Shadow's breathing was stretched over an infinite time span, so much so that others thought his heartbeat had disappeared.
Qingchen understood.
It wasn't that Shadow couldn't bear it because of what he had done, but that he noticed something strange about his body and knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.
Qingchen looked at Yangyang: "Has his force field changed?"
"Extremely weak," Yangyang said worriedly.
Qingchen sighed.
He finally understood why Shadow came out to play this time.
Ten minutes passed, and Shadow opened his eyes and looked at everyone with a smile as if nothing happened: "Are you worried about me?"
"Worry," Qingchen said seriously: "I have no relatives in the outer world, and you are one of the few relatives I have in the inner world. It would be a lie to say that I am not worried."
When the young man first met the shadow, he was full of precautions. After all, the shadow came and went without a trace. He did things without leaving any trace and could not tell his purpose.
Also use extraordinary people to grow tea.
When dealing with such a person, it is not enough to be extremely vigilant.
But later Qingchen discovered that the shadow would not harm him.
In his eyes, he only has three elders in this world, Li Shutong, Li Xiurui, and Shadow.
Li Shutong has left his hometown.
Li Xiurui has been laid to rest in Forbidden Place No. 002.
Only shadows remain.
Qingchen asked: "Is it because your illness has started to relapse frequently, so you can't stay in Qing's house anymore? Besides, you don't have much time. Mr. Li came to see me before he died, and you also came to see me before you passed away. Why, I am
Hospice?”
The shadow was silent.
Qingchen sighed: "How long do you have?"
Shadow smiled. He actually heard the hint of reluctance hidden in Qingchen's complaining tone.
For example, people like them are not always used to expressing their feelings, but hide them in some details.
Shadow said: "You don't need to know how long I have left, and I don't like others to count down the days for me, as if I should be lying in the intensive care unit with tubes all over my body. Don't worry, I control the time.
Even if a person dies, he will be no different from a normal person the first second. I will die at the most glorious moment, and that is enough."
Qingchen sighed and asked, "I still don't understand why your lifespan is so short since you are already a demigod, even though you have no injuries on your body."
Shadow said: "Obviously I'm not hurt, but I am."
Qingchen: "...What a bad joke."
Shadow smiled and said: "Actually, I am not injured. I have told you before that I often cough in front of outsiders because I want them to think I am injured."
"Then why did your heart stop beating?" Qingchen asked in confusion.
Shadow glanced at him: "I once overspent my time for a person."
Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "Overdraft? How long have you been overdrafted?"
