Chapter 110: On the Necessity of Building an Otherworld
Second floor, casino.
Lively, noisy, smoky, all kinds of sounds fill the ears, there are excited screams of those who win, there are also sighs and curses of those who lose money, there are flattering smiles of laughing girls, and there are also polite compliments of waiters.
A door separates the two worlds, and the people here are still drunk, completely unaware that the outside of the wall has been heavily wounded, and the guns are fired.
Wang Zhao pushed the door open, bringing iron and blood, and Wang Zhao closed the door again, cutting off the way for the people inside to escape.
Just when Wang Zhao was about to transform into a little giant, about to make a big show among the extravagant gamblers, spreading fear and shock to the hearts of those people, he didn't know that a conversation about him was unfolding between his brother Wang Zhao and his sister-in-law Liu Na.
At noon, Wang Zhao and Liu Na finished their work all morning, found a quiet and peaceful restaurant to eat, and when the two sat down and waited for the food to be served, Liu Na finally asked the question in her heart: "Hey, husband, yesterday Wang Zhao took the initiative to ask you to be the lord, why didn't you agree?" β
Wang Zhao glanced up at her and said with a smile: "That's the result of half a year's hard work by Xiao Zhao, and I took away other people's territory when I got there, it's too unauthentic, right?" β
Liu Na rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, you obviously know what I mean, it's not that I don't know that I shouldn't agree, but according to my understanding, you don't seem to have been polite to your brother, if you think that the position is not competent, you will definitely take over the throne of the lord unceremoniously." And I also think that with your talents, it is more appropriate for you to be the lord. β
"Then do you think it's better for me to be that otherworldly lord, or not?" Wang Zhao looked at his wife with a smile and asked this question.
Liu Na thought for a while and said: "It seems that the other world lord is not interesting, but there is no need to be it, now that I think about it, it is more cost-effective for you to insist on developing here, and then use the resources of the other world to make money." I looked at it this morning, there are a lot of antiques and jade in the other world, and there is a lot of gold, and even if you are not afraid of trouble, you can make a lot of money just by selling wood, and now solid wood furniture is very expensive. β
Wang Zhao nodded, and there was a hint of approval in his wife's eyes: "Yes, no matter how well you mix in the other world, it is better to live in modern society and enjoy happiness!" Not only is the standard of living very low over there, but the living habits are also different, and even the toilet has to be specially transported from modern times, which is really inconvenient, and neither the sanitary conditions nor the infrastructure are good there, and living there is completely to find guilt. So it's better to base ourselves on our current industry, work hard to make money, and become a monopoly. β
"Then why did Xiao Zhao bother Baal to build some territory over there, and also improve the living environment of the residents, what kind of lord should he be? Since he has the ability to travel through time, he can quietly carry out time and space trade, exchange modern items for specialties from the other world, and make a fortune. β
"Hehe, you don't know Xiao Zhao, he is a very special person, I have summarized his characteristics before, he can be summed up in one sentence in the final analysis, that is: he is a good person."
Liu Na chuckled and said, "I've also heard your comment on him, and even our family Wenwen knows it, but does it have anything to do with his development in the other world if he is a good person?" β
"So if you don't know my brother, he can't see others suffering, and if others are too pitiful, his compassion will overflow, and he will want to do something for others within the scope of his ability. For example, in the past, he treated people, but if he encountered family difficulties, he would charge little or no medical fees and medicines, and even on several occasions not only did not ask for money, but also paid for the relief of others himself. β
"And this?"
"Yes, so my brother is a good man! I guess he saw that the people in that town were living too hard, so he moved the idea of building a factory there, promoting high-yield seeds, and building a new countryside. Maybe he wants to make it a modern town. β
"That's too outrageous, to build a place where the development of civilization is only as high as the Song and Ming dynasties into a modern town, it won't take decades or hundreds of years, he really plans to live in an inconvenient ancient country for decades!"
Wang Zhao smiled: "Hehe, there is really this possibility, you don't know, my younger brother has liked classical classics and martial arts novels since he was a child, but he has no love for modern urban literature, and later read a lot of popular time travel novels, and he has a fantasy and longing for the world of martial arts and Xianxia, and he doesn't like modern urban life, which can be seen from his negative attitude towards life." If he travels back to ancient times one day and can't come back, maybe he can really adapt, and now that he has the ability to wear back and forth, he can't soak there and not come back? β
"And such people?" Liu Na was surprised.
"I don't want to admit it, but my brother is really such a person. Although he is not young, but he is not mature in thought, it is naΓ―ve to say that it sounds good, and it is called naΓ―ve if it is not good, and he doesn't want to think about it, as long as he has a lot of money, being a rich man in modern times is more cool than being a king in ancient times, even if he wants to do charity, he can also do it in modern time and space, why are he so dead-eyed, and he is dedicated to operating a territory in the ancient world! β
"Hah! According to your meaning, your brother's efforts in the past six months are meaningless? Basically, it can be seen as a child's nonsense and willfulness, right? β
Wang Zhao smiled: "I haven't said that, I can only say that this is just a different choice of people's paths caused by everyone's different personalities and different value orientations." Just like when European adventurers discovered the New World, some people planned to use the newly discovered world as a colony and plunder the local wealth to meet their needs, while others would settle down in the New World and take root, and even later establish a new state. It's not about right or wrong, it's just a difference in choice, anyway, if it were me, it would definitely not be so much invested in a backward and unfamiliar world, the focus of my life and career is in the modern era, I think you should be the same as me, right? β
Liu Na gave him a blank look and didn't speak, just when the food came up, the two began to eat, and the scene was quiet for a while.
They were enjoying a quiet dining environment here, but Wang Zhao was playing very lively.
Wang Zhao saw that the casino hall was full of people, those rich people who came here to gamble were very happy, and his heart was a little unhappy, he hated smoking, alcoholism, and gambling since he was a child, and in his eyes, people who came here to consume were not good things, so he was not polite, and directly transformed in the crowd, with his roar, his figure quickly rose up, and his body became burly and tall, as his transformed body became more and more adaptable to the new strength, the ability he could exert became more and more powerful, and now he has become bigger, can already reach a height of more than three meters, standing in the middle of the casino like a little giant.
For a while, the entire casino was stunned, and the audience was silent.
Wang Zhao casually grabbed a marble table next to him, raised it and threw it, smashed it in front of the entrance door, shook the ground and completely blocked the gate, and then shouted: "Is there anyone here who knows Chinese?" If you have one, I will be the interpreter, and if not, I will kill all the people in the audience. β
As soon as Wang Zhao's words fell, a person in a suit and a bodyguard-like person took out a gun and fired several shots at Wang Zhao. Wang Zhao was unmoved, let the bullets hit his body, and when the man finished firing more than a dozen bullets, he found that Wang Zhao didn't even break his skin, and his face was shocked and wanted to retreat, Wang Zhao moved.
The tall body charged, and a gust of wind blew, and Wang Zhao punched down, knocking the man upside down and flying out more than ten meters, and stuck to the wall, and after a few seconds, the man slowly slid down from the wall.
He's dead.
This is exactly what beating people is like hanging a picture.
A woman in the crowd quietly took out her mobile phone, and just about to dial, Wang Zhao had already noticed it, appeared next to her, broke her arm casually, ignored her screams, and directly grabbed the mobile phone and smashed it.
A few laughing courtesans finally reacted and screamed. Wang Zhao went over and knocked him unconscious, and the whole casino was quiet, and even the woman who was broken by Wang Zhao's arm couldn't help but make a sound.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him fearfully, Wang Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Is there anyone who understands Chinese and comes out as a translator?" β
"I speak Chinese."
As soon as Wang Zhao's voice fell this time, someone answered, and Wang Zhao saw that it was a coincidence that it was the woman who had broken her arm by herself. This woman is tall and good-looking, and there is a vigorous vitality on her body, with an unyielding look on her face, gritting her teeth and enduring the sharp pain in her arms.
Wang Zhao nodded, showed a hint of a smile, and activated his supernatural powers to restore his height, but he still made his figure a little stronger, looking very fit, he stepped forward and grabbed the woman's arm, and a white light as rich as milk rose on his body, and in just a few seconds, in the brilliance, the man's arm was healed by Wang Zhao's light healing technique.
The woman froze, looking at her restored arm, and everyone next to her also saw this miraculous scene, they were all shocked, and the look of fear in the eyes of Wang Zhao decreased, and the meaning of admiration and envy increased.
The woman asked in Chinese, "Sir, are you a pastor?" β
Wang Zhao smiled: "I can fight, carry and heal, and my profession is a paladin." β
