Chapter 10: The Lie of the Century
The woman, whom Hephaestus called a madman, is now standing on the land of the continent of Brattis.
She opened her eyes, looked curiously at the unfamiliar surroundings, and then lowered her head to look at her equally unfamiliar body.
Her palms were rough, her wrists were shackled, her clothes were tattered, and she smelled of an unpleasant odor. ”
Cayden resisted his nausea and asked, "Whose body is this?" ”
"A death row inmate." Li Yu said, "She was originally just a peasant woman, and because she felt that the neighbor's child had stolen the vegetables she planted, she pushed the child into the well, but this scene was seen by a passerby."
"She was also captured by the people of the village and sent to the lord, where she was eventually sentenced to death."
"Okay." Cayden shrugged, "At least she's not too old, I thought you'd find an old man who was about to enter the earth or something to be my body, or simply not reincarnate me, anyway, this plane and the other plane can only be connected in one direction." ”
"It's too late for you to regret it now, kill me, and then tell the board that I'm still alive, so that there will be no more people who like to make small reports." Cayden's voice was full of temptation.
Li Yu ignored her, just threw a set of clean clothes in his hand to her, "Don't you want to work?" Then let's get started. ”
Kayden's expression looked a little regretful, "Very well, you've passed the first test, and I made some code promises with the company before I came here." ”
"I'm going to give you a rating every week based on your performance, and when you report to the board, remember to tell them the code word, and it has to be word for word.
"If you're wrong, or if I give you a low rating at one point, something bad can happen."
Kaiden smiled at Li Yu, "But as long as you get along with me for a long time, you will find that I am actually a very good talker, and I will give you a high score as much as possible."
"I hope that we can also cooperate happily in the future and work together to perpetuate human civilization."
Kaiden stretched out his hand again, his eyes sincere, and this time Li Yu finally shook hands with her.
After that, Kaiden changed into clean clothes and followed Li Yu out of the house.
At this time, the sky had already broken, and the morning sun was sprinkled on the ground through the clouds, and Kaiden followed behind Li Yu, looking around, "Is this our new home?"
"Although the technology seems a little backward, the natural resources are not bad."
Kaiden kept looking left and right, and almost crashed into an ox cart, she was not familiar with the new body, and in the end, Li Yu pulled her to let her dodge.
The driver who was driving was still scolding, but when he saw Li Yu on the side, his scolding stopped abruptly, jumped out of the car, and said respectfully, "Prophet Merlin, you're back." ”
"Hmm." Li Yu nodded and said, "Where are you going?" ”
"Oh, I'm going to send a batch of fish to the city, and recently the fish in the fish pond at home have been harvested, and there are so many that our family can't eat them all, so I'll exchange them for money.
"It's all because of your and my lord's protection on Saturday that we can now eat meat every day, our bodies are getting stronger and stronger, and our lives are getting better and better."
When the coachman said this, he remembered something, climbed back into the car, and took a bag of dried fish from there, which he had to offer to Li Yu anyway.
He spotted a gap, stuffed the dried fish into Li Yu's arms, and then hurriedly jumped into the car without waiting for Li Yu to refuse, and drove the ox away.
Although Kayden couldn't understand the lingua franca of Brattis, he could only know what had just happened just by listening to Li Yu's words.
She kept smiling and watching, until the ox cart was far away.
"It's good that the people here adore you, so that when our people come, they won't resist."
After a pause, she asked again, "By the way, what was that person's name just now?" ”
"Why do you care about his name, he's just an ordinary farmer, and there are many farmers like this on this continent." Li Yu said.
"He looks quite athletic, and he's not very old."
After Kaiden finished speaking, he saw Li Yu staring at her, and raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter, why are you acting like you're seeing this kind of thing for the first time?"
"Although there are 20 million reincarnation places, there are good and bad places in this, and we have to find a batch of good bodies in advance and keep them for those big people and their families."
Li Yu frowned and didn't say anything.
"Ah, I understand that expression, you may not believe it, but I was actually quite radical when I was in school."
"What changed you?"
"Reality." Kayden's expression became rare and serious, "The world will never be fair, Li Yu, just take the law as an example, those provisions are indeed the same for everyone, but the legal resources that rich and powerful people have are completely different from those of ordinary people."
"You have a lawsuit with the legal team of those big companies, and they have 10,000 ways to kill you, and they don't even have to wait for the verdict.
"Education, do you think it's fair? I know that your country has a college entrance examination, and my country also has the SAT, not to mention the different educational resources that each family can enjoy, those big people always have a way to send their children to the top schools. ”
"In medical care, there are people who live in nursing homes to be consulted by medical experts from all over the world, and there are people who can only line up outside the hospital gate at night with mats......
"Oh, but there is one thing that does give priority to the poor, and that is war, and when war comes, no matter what the excuse, it is always the children of ordinary families who charge at the front.
"Equality is the biggest lie of the century." "I can't imagine that when I was younger, I would believe the nonsense of the leftists.
"Fortunately, those pathetic guys are not destructive, they just shout slogans, hold up signs in protest, and then go home, drink two beers and die in decadence.
"My first boyfriend was one of those guys, and the poor guy even slept on his parents' couch, and I paid for our trip to the motel.
"And then one day I said to myself, Kayden, do you really want to live this life with nothing like them, don't you want to have more resources and enjoy more things like those big guys?
"All of a sudden, I accepted the flaws of the world and even fell in love with it a little, and I had a goal to keep raising the price on me, so I took this work very seriously."
Kayden said seriously, "I say all this to let you know that I really hope that we can get along and work together well." ”
