Chapter 60: The Owner Who Created the World
"We need fair negotiations! We need good people in charge! ”
At eight o'clock in the morning of the second day after the plan was changed, Gu Wu, who was running in the morning, was exercising along the coastal route when he heard a shout on the other side of the road.
Fair negotiations? Excellent person in charge? It's really quite a strange statement, after all, Gu Wuke has never received such a notice, and he doesn't know that there is such a problem.
Even if Gu Wu was not in charge of handling all the work, it stands to reason that he should have received a report for his demonstration-like actions in such a conspicuous place.
Gu Wu, who had taken off his headphones and changed his route, ran over there, and he found that the people gathered here were basically a group of old people, although there were also young people among them, but there were not many of them.
"Calm down, everybody, and tell me what's going on."
"Everyone, be quiet! Mr. Gu Wu is here! ”
One of them asked everyone to be quiet after seeing Gu Wu, and they immediately stopped making noise and set their eyes on Gu Wu together.
Gu Wu, who was regarded as a savior-like character, smiled, walked to the center of the crowd, and then asked
"Tell me, why are you gathered here so early in the morning?"
"Mr. Gu Wu, this is training."
"Training? For what? Demonstrations? ”
"No, it's not you, the first person we want to oppose is not you, but the president of the company in charge of the development and construction of this area, who is trying to make us give up the land we originally lived in!"
Is it a bit like a forced demolition? If this is the case, even if there are formal procedures, under the premise that they cannot reach a unity between each other, Gu Wu will not let that happen.
"I'll call and ask, don't make a big deal out of it, I'll deal with it, okay?"
"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Gu Wu!! ”
People began to talk about each other, praising Gu Wu for 'understanding people's hearts' and 'understanding of affairs', and pushed Gu Wu to a higher position in their hearts.
Gu Wu, who took out his mobile phone, dialed the phone number recorded above, as long as it was an important person in charge of the city, such as the mayor, deputy mayor, president of a construction company, chairman of a tourism company, etc., Gu Wu had their phone number.
Although Gu Wu is the 'owner' of this world, he didn't ask for any position, after all, even if he didn't have those positions, people knew who Gu Wu was and what kind of rights he had.
"Good morning."
[Isn't this Mr. Gu Wu? I'm sorry, but I'm in a meeting and have to deal with all sorts of things early in the morning...... By the way, why did Mr. Gu Wu call? 】
"I met a group of people on my morning jog and they said you were going to demolish your house, is that true?"
[This...... You don't know, some of them are willing, some are not, so we raise the price and arrange a good residential area for them, and suddenly they regret it...... To put it mildly, it seems to me that they just want more money. 】
Is that the case?
Looking at the group of old people mixed with young people, Gu Wu really couldn't figure out what they were thinking.
[I have worked hard for a long time on this matter, sacrificing the time I spent traveling with my family, in order to make this city better than it was, I believe Mr. Gu Wu can also understand it. 】
Everybody has made an effort, everybody has made sacrifices, so who is right?
Gu Wu, who was uncertain, thought of a compromise plan to delay time, so he said to the person on the other end of the phone
"Well, I'll collect more information, and then we'll have a meeting to discuss, what do you think?"
[Okay...... Then I'm really causing you trouble by asking others to delay the execution time. 】
"No, nothing, that's it."
Gu Wu, who hung up the phone, looked at the people around him and looked at him, and he said in a tone that comforted everyone
"I talked to them and said that it would be postponed for a few days, and then I would have a meeting with them to make a decision, what do you think?"
Hearing Gu Wu's explanation, the others said that there was no problem.
"That's okay, Mr. Gu Wu! You've made the right decision! ”
"I believe that Mr. Gu Wu will definitely help us!"
"That's right! Mr. Gu Wu will definitely be able to solve the trouble! Because he's good! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Gu Wu, for your help!"
"That's it! Don't disturb Mr. Gu Wu's morning run! Let's disband! ”
Everyone left the scene with anticipation, as if they thought that Gu Wu would definitely be able to give them a satisfactory answer.
On the one hand, there are those who make efforts, and on the other hand, there are people who are full of expectations, and there is no one right or wrong between them, so it can be said that it is a simple dispute over interests.
[In response to the host, I have also told you before that whether you play the role of 'Dictator' or 'Ming Jun', you will encounter the same problems; for example, as a 'dictator', you have eliminated the rebel army that has risen, and when you are the 'Ming Jun', I am afraid that you will have to face a group of 'fanatics' who support you.] 】
"Are there two sides to everything...... I know this very well, but I didn't expect so much from me. ”
[In response to the host, I believe you must have heard the saying 'the height of the people's expectation is the height of the gallows', although the people cannot pose a real threat to you, but all their actions will affect the world you govern, and you will have to make a choice when the time comes.] 】
"Sounds like a pretty scary situation......
How to say it, Gu Wu naturally didn't want that to happen, but as the system said, the probability of that kind of thing happening was very high.
"Keep exercising."
Gu Wu, who put on his headphones again and got ready, started a new morning run.
————
Gu Wu, who returned to his residence, did not forget what the system had said before, whether he played the role of a 'brave' or a 'demon', he would always encounter a series of problems, which was inevitable.
As for how to solve those problems, this is a bit tricky......
Let's take the situation he encountered just now, no matter which side Gu Wu helped, he would be resented by the people on the other side.
Of course, it may not be as exaggerated as resentment, and it will only lower their own status in their hearts.
"Forget it, let them go."
Gu Wu did have the idea of managing this world well, but the problems that kept popping up dispelled his thoughts.
The world will always be respected by the strong, and the rich will do whatever they want, so Gu Wu does not intend to break this 'rule'.
And instead of taking care of those people, Gu Wu had to find a way to complete his task, which meant that Gu Wu couldn't focus on that group of people.
Helping the weak is the freedom of the strong, not the obligation, besides...... The current Gu Wu is not a real powerhouse except for owning this world.
In the face of the protagonists of other planes, super villains or something, Gu Wu still has to do his best.
"That's the choice......"
Gu Wu, who finished his morning run, began to take a bath.
After he finished taking a shower, Richardson, who was wiping his wine glass in the restaurant, temporarily stopped what he was doing, and he looked at Gu Wu and said
"Mr. Gu Wu, the guests you asked me to invite are estimated to arrive in the afternoon, can I start preparing from now on?"
"Isn't it a little early?"
"If you start making it now, you will basically start with cold dishes and salads that have a long storage time and do not affect the taste."
"In this way, you can also save time when the time comes, so I'll leave it to you to arrange."
"Mr. Gu Wu."
Richardson, who started to make coffee, asked with his back to Gu Wu
"Do you have something on your mind?"
"You're very careful......"
Richardson, who was praised, showed an elder-like calm expression, which was a faint smile.
"Although I am not as good as Mr. Gu Wu, I can become a great ruler and have a very shrewd mind, but I have also experienced a lot of human sophistication, watching my son and granddaughter grow up slowly, so it is difficult for Mr. Gu Wu's thoughts to hide from my eyes."
"Speak your mind...... Do you think it's right to sacrifice while saving the other? ”
Gu Wu thought that he would always face such a choice.
He needed strength now, for example, to get Altaïr to help him, for example, to let Alan make them his help, for example, to get Frieza over.
At that time, I'm afraid I will have to make some choices.
"This is a question that many people are bothered by, and even I can't come up with a definite answer, but not all questions need any answers, as long as they don't hurt the things they cherish, that's enough."
Richardson, who made the coffee, added
"Of course, this sounds very selfish, but if I want to be an enemy of Mr. Gu Wu for the sake of my family, I think I will choose my own family."
"I won't blame you at that time."
Gu Wu, who was sitting on a chair and holding coffee, laughed.
"But no one in this world can kill me yet."
Even Altaïr, the current Gu Wu didn't think he would lose to her.
After all, Gu Wu had the ability to copy others, plus the ability to summon artists, if this was the case, even if Altaïr went all out, Gu Wu thought that he could win in ten seconds.
"Richardson, your coffee is a little bitter."
"I think you should like this question."
"It's really an old driver......"
This housekeeper who is more than half a hundred years old makes Gu Wu very satisfied, and as an assistant, he can give him full marks.
And after talking, Gu Wu also understood what he should protect.
His own future and the artists he signed, that's all he has now.
————
I had a casual lunch, and then Gu Wu went downstairs to say hello to Shimazaki Akina and Altair, these two lovely girls were watching a movie together, so Altaïr was very unhappy with Gu Wu who disturbed the world of the two of them.
"Good afternoon, do you have any free time?" The ...... I said before"
"No problem, but wait, the movie is over soon."
The school that Shimazaki is in charge of is closed today, so she is enjoying her vacation at a leisurely pace.
"What kind of movie is it?"
"A movie that kills all those who get in the way, and executes all of them without leaving one, do you understand this?"
It was not Shimazaki Aki who answered Gu Wu, but Altair, who was sitting next to him.
Altair's expression at this moment was the same as before, that is, 'Get out of here'.
However, Gu Wu, as an agent who is everywhere, his 'cheekiness' is enough to cope with Altair's gaze.
"No, as long as the core content is not that kind of story."
Shimazaki, who was sitting next to Altir, immediately denied it, and Altair, who was still cold to Gu Wu just now, instantly regained her well-behaved expression, and she nodded.
"I misunderstood, sorry......"
"No need to apologize, I'll explain the real content of this work, if Mr. Gu Wu is interested, you can also come over and listen to it together, I don't know if it's a spoiler......"
Hearing Shimazaki's invitation, Gu Wu ignored Altair's eyes and sat aside.
So Shimazaki took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and began to introduce the main content of the movie.
"It's about a soldier who didn't want to fight in a war, he was a timid man at first, but in order to protect his country, he resolutely stepped on the battlefield, but even then he didn't have the courage to kill, only the idea of saving people."
"I always feel that there is a familiar movie in my impression that is this theme."
"I recommend Mr. Gu Wu to watch it again."
"No problem, are there any other good movies?"
"Think about it...... Yes! The movie adaptation of Robinson Crusoe is also wonderful! ”
Most of Shimazaki Instant's recommendations are movies that Gu Wu has seen or understood.
"Ahem...... Gu Wu, come with me, didn't you say that you have something to discuss with me? ”
At this time, Altai forcibly dragged Gu Wu aside.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
"It's just coming over to talk to you, isn't it?"
"The ...... of this world"
Glancing back, Altaïr confirmed that Shimazaki hadn't followed
"Maybe the world really agrees with me and Moment, since this is the case, there is no need to increase the risk, and those who are invited by you are the creators and creatures of other planes, right? I don't want the world to fall apart. ”
"Please rest assured Miss Altair, I know your worries, but this world is not as fragile as you think, because this is my world ......"
"Your World...... Sounds like an exaggeration. ”
"That's the way it is, otherwise why do you think I would let you come?"
Altaïr naturally couldn't agree with such an exaggerated fact, but Gu Wu's statement also made sense.
"Okay, it's almost time, you can prepare with Miss Shimazaki, after all, this is a 'necessary step to integrate into the world'."
"Hmph, I see."
As Altair made his decision, a voice sounded from the elevator, and Richardson stood outside the door
"Mr. Gu Wu, the guests have arrived."
"Okay, I'll be right over."
This is Gu Wu's world, and his guests as the owner are the protagonists who have signed up as 'artists'.
In the near future, Gu Wu will continue to increase the lineup and change everything!
