Chapter 106: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes (2)

"Piracy?!! Are you the leader of the interstellar pirates?! ā€

After hearing this name, the Seventh Master's face completely changed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After a brief freeze in his brain, he seemed to think of something, pointed at Mu He and shouted: "Impossible, the reputation of the thief has been made twenty or thirty years ago, and it is estimated that he will be at least sixty or seventy years old, how can you be a thief?!" Unless... Yes?! Are you..."

"Unless what? Could it be what? After seeing the Seventh Master's reaction, the corners of Mu He's mouth raised a smile, "Do you think I can't be a thief?" Haha, why is it impossible? Since we have the ability to create a clone with a memory, why is it so difficult to clone that memory into an unrelated body? You see, science and technology are so terrible that an old man who is nearly ninety years old has been transformed into an inconspicuous young nobleman in some declining family. ā€

Speaking of this, Mu He touched his face and smiled meaningfully: "Seventh Master, the body will decay, the face will grow old, only memory is eternal, as long as a person has memory, then he is truly alive." ā€

"It's... But... But you're not him after all! The Seventh Master stared and thought for a long time, and muttered unconfidently, "If you are also a clone, you should be able to understand that a clone is a clone, and the deity is the deity." Even if you have a memory of him, it's a different person. ā€

"Hmph... This is the kind of thinking that has allowed the Xuanang Empire to ban cloning technology for so long. Mu He shook his head disapprovingly and retorted, "But I don't blame those in power for being so propagandistic, because if they don't say so, the anger of the citizens of the empire is enough to overturn the entire empire." No one wants to suddenly have a stranger who looks the same as their own, and legally speaking, that stranger is even the same person as themselves. Hey, it's okay if you don't have a common memory, but once you can clone your memory, then even the emperor himself can't be sure if he will be cloned, and no one knows if he will be assassinated one day. ā€

"Then why are you still..."The Seventh Master asked eagerly when he heard this, but stopped talking halfway through.

"What are you asking?" At this time, Mu He seemed very patient, and kindly signaled that the seventh master could continue to ask. "Since I revealed my identity to you, it means that you are still useful, don't worry about your own safety, you won't die."

"No... I've figured out what I just wanted to ask. The Seventh Master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a non-trivial manner, "You are right, it is precisely because of this realistic concern that the high-level of the empire has involuntarily banned the development of cloning technology, even if those scientists have fundamentally denied the possibility of memory replication, they are not willing to take the slightest risk." If a clone had a memory, it would be creepy to think about it, but I didn't expect that this theoretically impossible technology would actually come out. However, as far as I know, although the empire strictly prohibits the development of cloning technology on the surface, no one believes that others will really give up cloning technology, and almost every powerful consortium is still researching in the dark under mutual beware, but for so long, I have never heard of anyone who has successfully researched cloning technology that can copy memories, how did you, an interstellar pirate leader in the Eastern Outer Regions, come up with it?! ā€

"Yes, so many hidden chaebols have studied for generations without breaking through the limitations of science and technology. How can I, an interstellar pirate leader who only dares to wander the Eastern Outer Regions, develop cloning technology that can even replicate memories? After hearing the seventh master's inquiry, Mu He laughed self-deprecatingly, "The root cause is just because of my identity." ā€

"Your identity?" The Seventh Master asked with a frown. "What does that mean?"

"That's right, an interstellar pirate leader, no matter how powerful and background he is, he is also a pirate leader after all." Mu He nodded, and said in a vicissitudes of tone, "In the eyes of ordinary trading companies, I am a vicious thief, but in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, I am a natural good ally. Compared to those in the imperial system, the name "Piracy" symbolized at least some degree of freedom, but for the sake of this freedom, I used up almost all my energy, my hair turned gray, and my body collapsed. ā€

"Someone with a heart? Are you saying you didn't plan all this? You're just a beginner? The Seventh Master was keenly aware of the information in Mu He's words, "I understand, due to the perennial war and killing, you are sick in old age, but you don't want to die hastily when you have laid a good foundation, and you are seriously ill and attracted by this cloning technology that can copy memories, and finally you are willing to do things for them, but it is not your style to live under it for a long time, when you successfully change your body, the originally suppressed desires and ideas sprout again, and you want to get rid of the control of others." ā€

"I have to say, you're really good." Mu He nodded appreciatively and agreed with the Seventh Master's statement, "I have been stealing since I was a child, my parents were dead, my family was ruined, and I finally had to embark on the road of wandering under the persecution of the enemy. In the past 80 years, after a lot of hardships and vicissitudes, from the original dilemma of being poor and white step by step to a small reputation in the Eastern Outer Regions, now he has a number of large and small warships, and the elite soldiers are like clouds, not to mention the dominance in the empire, at least in the Eastern Outer Regions, this region can still fight with the regular army of the empire. ā€

"Do you know what is the biggest reason for such success, apart from relying on my own strength and luck?" Speaking of this, Mu He's painting style changed, and the tone of his speech to the seventh master became serious, "The biggest reason is the current situation!" As the saying goes, the times create heroes, the Xuanang Empire was founded nearly 2,500 years ago, and now the system is rigid, money and power collude, and the vast territory has shown signs of falling apart. At the top, the Saga chaebol controlled a large amount of resources and manpower, forming a serious confrontation with the aristocratic imperial power. On the surface, the royal aristocracy still ruled the empire, and behind the scenes, every prince was firmly held hostage by more than one trading chaebol. In the middle level, the descendants of the chaebol occupy a large number of important positions, whether it is a trading company or the imperial government, it is full of a large amount of waste of corpse and vegetarian meals, and countless poor talents have lost their upward space due to the monopoly of the wealthy. At the lower levels, prices are rising day by day, education is expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary citizens to have the opportunity to break through their class restrictions. In addition, the contradictions between the pioneer and the eight regions, and between the eight regions and the central land, are getting bigger and bigger, and the trend of independence of each region is also getting stronger and stronger. Hey, firewood has been accumulated, only Spark is owed. Seventh Master, tell me, such an empire, why should I have no chance of stealing it? In the future, even if there is no theft of me, other big thieves will be indispensable in the Eastern Outer Regions. ā€

Mu He spoke very straightforwardly, but every sentence made sense. The Seventh Master has been in a high position in the trading company for a long time, and he naturally knows the current situation of the empire, and seeing that Mu He is now fully revealed, his eyes moved, and he asked tentatively: "That.. Do you want to overthrow the Xuan'ang Empire and become emperor yourself? ā€

"You think I'm crazy?" Seeing the seventh master's question, Mu He asked with a smile.

"Huh?! No.. No, I'm just asking! Hearing this, the Seventh Master waved his hand again and again, denying Muhe's accusation.

"If you didn't think I'm crazy, how could you ask such a question?" Mu He nodded noncommittally and explained, "I've been struggling for nearly eighty years, and now I'm just gaining a foothold in the Eastern Outer Regions, and you actually ask me if I want to subvert the Xuan'ang Empire?!" No matter how much the Xuanang Empire falls, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, do you treat me like a madman and a fool?! ā€

"I... I'm not! Sorry Muye, no.. Sorry Tuoye! The seventh master's face turned red, and when he saw that Mu He's eyes were not good, he felt bad, and then he was relieved and apologized to Mu He again and again.

"That's it, after all, the high-level of a trading company like you is used to the madness of pirates, and you are never afraid to think of us with the worst possible possibility," After staring at the Seventh Master for a long time, Mu He finally eased his eyes and continued to speak, "The fundamental purpose of that person with a heart may be to subvert the empire, but I am not so crazy. Listen, now our biggest goal is to replace the fifth prince and successfully master the five major regions of the Xuan'ang Empire, so not only will you not die, but you will live well, and when the plan is all successful, you will replace that deity, take back your identity, money, and take the position of president of Kuntu Trading Company with our help. When the time comes, I will be in charge of the power of the five districts, and you will be in charge of the economy of the five districts. ā€

"That's... And after that? After Mu He made a promise, the Seventh Master did not lose his thoughts, "Didn't you say that the person with a heart wanted to subvert the entire Xuanang Empire?" Then after we replace the fifth prince, won't we continue to make trouble? ā€

"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other." Mu He thought for a moment when he heard this, and replied, "I am a gentleman's friend with him, and the gentleman's friendship is as light as water, but the promise and trustworthiness do not hinder each other, after completing the change of the prince of the five major regions, that person will leave this place and continue to other regions." ā€

"Huh?!" After hearing Mu He's reply, the Seventh Master's expression became even more puzzled, "That person with a heart has worked so hard to make it so that we can successfully master the five regions?!" When everything is done, you will voluntarily go to other regions?! This... Didn't he say that he was going to subvert the entire Xuanang Empire?! ā€

"You don't understand, the man has a big plan, I don't know much about his plan, and everything I know about the plan is related to the Fifth District. But through the clues, I know that while he is planning with me, he also has other big plans with the rest of the gang. Seizing control of the Fifth Region was only part of his plan. After a moment of silence, Mu He shook his head and said, "It's not for nothing that he left, at least our Fifth Region is already his natural ally." Hey, don't you think this kind of natural ally is child's play? But not here, I don't say this to emphasize how much I value feelings, but that there is a real trend behind that caring person, and that kind of trend will make you have to voluntarily follow him on. ā€

"The person you said with a heart..."Seeing that Mu He said so solemnly, the Seventh Master's face unconsciously became serious, and after struggling for a long time, he finally opened his mouth to ask Mu He, "Who is he?" What is the general trend behind him? ā€

"Finally asked me." After hearing the seventh master's inquiry, Mu He laughed dumbly, "I originally thought that you would ask about his identity as soon as possible, but I didn't expect to endure it until now." However, I can't tell you who he is right now. ā€

"Don't ask more," Seeing what the Seventh Master wanted to say, Mu He stopped meaningfully, "Wait patiently, in my opinion, it won't be too far from his official debut." ā€
