Chapter 155: Viral Spread
"Why is there so much left?"
In the workshop that made the Laughter Elixir, Sonaren, the ruler of the entire factory, grabbed the remaining Laughter Pill from the wooden box in one hand.
The day before yesterday was the day when Heibei City distributed laughter pills to the people of the city.
According to past experience, the laughter pills in the workshop will be quickly snatched up, and even the surplus laughter pills will be exploited by the person in charge of distributing them.
In the end, the result of Sonaron will definitely be 'The Laughter Pill has been distributed'.
And now there was a whole large wooden box of laughter pills in front of Sonaren, and the total number of them was estimated to be at least tens of thousands.
The population of this city is just over 150,000, and there are still tens of thousands of laughter pills left?
It's so abnormal.
"My lord, I don't know what's going on."
A man with a fat body like a ball kept wiping the cold sweat that overflowed from his forehead and said.
"How many laughing pills did you and your men take without permission?"
Sonaron looked up at the man and the men behind him.
The Laughter Pill is the city's true hard currency, far harder than coins like the Eagle Claw.
Over the years, everyone in the city has become addicted to the laughter pill, so much so that many people are at the point of 'you can skip eating, but you have to have a laughing pill'.
Therefore, these humans who are responsible for distributing the laughter pill can live a nourishing life in this city just by fishing a handful with their hands.
"It's... How dare I, my lord. The expression on the man's face looked very aggrieved.
"Don't try to deal with me with lies! Mankind! ”
Sonaren's face turned extremely cold, and his left hand turned into a gray tentacle that suddenly wrapped around the man's neck.
A feeling of suffocation swept over the man, and his face was flushed with blood.
"I... I stole it before! My lord! I also stole a lot! But... This time... I really didn't take any of them! ”
The man shouted these words in a painful voice, and the tentacles around his neck quickly disappeared, and he sat down on the ground and gasped for air.
Sonaron knew that his subordinates were a bunch of cowards who couldn't stand the torture, and such a big box of laughter potion was here, if this man wanted it, he could swallow it all, and there was no need to take it back.
But the most critical question is......
"You took all the laughter pills you stole before?" Sonaren asked.
"I ate some of it myself, and sold it to the untouchables and the pharmacists at a high price..."
The man didn't dare to lie anymore, and immediately knelt on the ground and shook out his family.
"Then why don't you steal some more this time?" Sonaren asked.
Although he stipulated next year that these distributors were not allowed to steal the laughter pill without permission, human beings are not creatures that can be restrained by regulations.
Sonaron only punishes him when he encounters this situation, and turns a blind eye on other occasions.
The Laughter Pill has huge benefits in the city, and there is no reason for this greedy human to give up the benefits in his hands.
"Because... Because... The Laughter Pill is not worth much now. The man gritted his teeth and said something that might have angered Sonaren.
"Worthless? No way... The humans of this city can't live without this thing now. ”
Sonaren grabbed the pink pill in his hand, the color of which was easily reminiscent of pink flesh.
This small pill is the 'hope' that supports the survival of the people of Heibei City.
"It's true, Lord Sonaren." At this point, he closed his mouth again, wondering whether the next words would keep him alive or whether he would keep himself alive by remaining silent.
"Speak up... I promise not to kill you. Sonaren said.
"Three... Three days ago, I went to sell the Laughter Pill, and although it was diluted by the pharmacist, no one bought it at all. The man's voice sounded very aggrieved, quite like a businessman's face after his business went bankrupt.
"I'm wondering if my clients aren't the untouchables who don't have money, they're gangs that occupy a lot of territory, but the gangs big and small in the city aren't interested in the laughing pill." The more the man spoke, the more aggrieved he became, "I initially thought that some of them had quit the laughter pill, but it was too abnormal for so many people in the city to quit. ”
"And then? Have you found the reason? ”
Sonaron immediately asked, the Laughter Pill was the cornerstone of the city's sustainment, if the people weren't interested in the Laughter Pill anymore.
Their rule over the city is on the verge of collapse.
"I asked a gang member, and he told us that there was a medicine called Xiaobawang that worked much better than the laughter pill." The man spoke under tremendous pressure that he might be killed by Sonaren.
"Little Overlord?" Sonaron recited the unfamiliar word, "You must have that thing, right?" ”
The man was asked about this and entered a state of hesitation again, obviously knowing that Xiaobawang was now a valuable hard currency for him.
Greedy humans will always find ways to protect their interests.
The tentacles extended from Sonaren's body again, grabbing the man's limbs and turning him upside down, and after a few rough shakes, five primordial crystals slipped out of the man's pocket.
"If you lie to me again, your head will stay here, and I ask again, do you still have this protocrystal?"
Sonaron controlled his tentacles to put the man back on the ground, forcing him again.
In the end, the man's fear overcame his greed, and he hurriedly unwrapped the sewn pockets on his body, and a large bag of small overlord primordial crystals was placed on the long table.
"My lord, there really isn't any more." The man said in a trembling voice.
"Where did these things come from..."
When Sonaron saw the large pile of primordial crystals on the table, he remembered that his third sister had led people to destroy a gang that made contraband some time ago.
But that operation didn't destroy the contraband completely, it spread throughout the city.
This is bad news.
"I... I bought it from a member of the sewing gang. The man immediately said, "He... They also have a product called Arcade that seems to work even better. ”
"Sewing Gang, take your men and disappear from my eyes."
As soon as Sonaren gave the order to the man, the man rolled out of Sonaren's room mellowly.
He reached out and picked up a primordial hedron that was on the table, but the moment he touched it... The burning sensation attached to the power of faith in the protocrystall made him suddenly let go of his fingers.
"It's not magic... What the hell is this? Holding back the burning sensation in his fingertips, Sonaron picked up the protodron again and looked at it.
The surface of the stone is inscribed with a line of words "Double Dragon".
