Chapter 327: The Sword of Damocles (4500 Words First Update)
In fact, Shen Chong didn't sleep well this night.
Although he has actively or passively reaped a lot of benefits from the child's mother, it is the first time that he has been so direct and rude as tonight.
What haunts and turns in his mind is always that picture, exciting, exciting, unrestrained, and high-quality.
If you want to force a title to imitate the small film he used to watch, the picture can be roughly described like this.
Domestic boutique selfie candid shooting series - a strong woman from a wealthy business community with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars comes out of the bath, the hot body is unstoppable, it is recommended to vomit blood, and I will regret it for a lifetime if I don't look at it!
Generally, the small piece that dares to play this name must have real materials, and it is an otaku holy tissue killer.
This is not the end, the heroine in the film replayed in Brother Shen's mind is not a stranger, but an "acquaintance" in her own life.
He subconsciously connected the heroine of the supreme film with the child's mother herself, doubling the excitement and filling the coolness.
There are two kinds of abandoned houses that are addicted to paper people, one is really just like paper people, which is the purest and most advanced house.
The other is because of fear or boredom of the troubles of the third dimension, because of inertia and giving up becoming ready-to-do, simply choosing to never betray his paper man.
This second type of person is not aware of his own nature until a major turning point in his life, and will mistakenly think that he is the first.
Shen Chong's mansion has reached the highest, but his heart is the second kind, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the next small film before!
Anyway, he had a hard time tonight, for fear of drawing a map in the sheets and bedding.
In the middle of the night, he simply sat up straight, no longer suppressing himself, but deliberately slowing back the slow motion in his heart.
After a long time, with a violent tremble, he suddenly felt that everything was boring, and his outlook on life seemed to be sublimated.
The world is so beautiful, my heart is peaceful, and the hazy moonlight shines through the curtains on the bed, so bright.
Finally getting a good night's sleep, he woke up in the morning in good spirits.
Today he had planned to go to Stone Hammer Technology, but he couldn't make it.
As soon as he got up, he received a message in the demon slaying information system, prompting a stranger, and after clicking on it, he found that it was sent to Xiao Meng without adding friends.
"That, is Brother Shen here? I'm Xiang Xiaomeng, I'm sorry to bother you. Do you have time to attend the funeral of Cheng Liang and the praying mantis? β
Xiang Xiaomeng's tone is very timid, not a formal invitation, but generally her personal thoughts.
According to the rules of the ministry, a similar funeral is usually attended by a leader above the deputy director of the combat department, and the other are the relatives and friends of the sacrificed members in real life, as well as teammates or friends who are particularly close to the department, and the colleagues who are on the same mission at the time of sacrifice usually also participate.
Shen Chong had not had much contact with Xiang Xiaomeng's second squadron before, and in addition, he was a supernumerary, so he was not on the official list to attend the funeral.
But Xiang Xiaomeng hesitated again and again, and decided to invite him in a private name, as if she was afraid that he would not agree, and by the way, she told me the reason, and she sent a second message.
"Cheng Liang admired you very much when he was alive, so I think he would be very happy if you could come."
Shen Chong didn't hesitate to respond, changed into a pure black suit, and drove out of the house to the funeral site.
This is the second time he has attended the funeral, and his mentality is different from the last time.
He understood a little more.
Everyone is silent, not that there is nothing to say, on the contrary, there are many words, but they cannot be spoken.
There are also ordinary people in the audience, and it is not convenient to say.
The funeral was no different from the last time, and even the cries of Cheng Liang's family sounded similar.
There are thousands of joys in the world, but sorrows are all the same.
Losing a future, a friend, a loved one, or a loss of hope, is always something to lose.
With the funeral master of ceremonies announcing the end of the ceremony, Cheng Liang's coffin was slowly placed into the martyr's tomb, and the funeral was over.
Shen Chong observed the expressions of everyone present.
This is not the first time he has attended the funeral of his comrades, let alone others.
Seeing too much life and death, everyone seems to become numb, but this numbness is not because the heart is like water, but in the experience again and again, the mind slowly becomes tenacious like iron.
Not everyone can handle it, and there are many official members in the Demon Slayer who eventually choose to become supernumerary, but many more stay.
Either become fragile in loss, sink in fragility, or get up from sinking again, and use hatred and belief to support yourself to become stronger step by step.
Shen Chong had to admit that even though he had always maintained his status as a supernumerary, the organization of demon slaying had a strong appeal.
He slowly fell in love with the organization and the people in it.
The seemingly loose and tight management model makes the demon slayer both iron-blooded, but also full of family-like warmth, and interests and beliefs firmly bind this special group together.
Now he is barely making a name, but when he first became a supernumerary member with the cultivation of the sixth grade of the yellow level, no one has ever bullied and oppressed him.
Whether it is a heaven-level supreme, or a ground-level boss, or a Xuan-level powerhouse, he has never thrown his face at him, and most of them are pleasant.
If he didn't know the strength of these people, sometimes he would have thought that they were all fake masters.
Even if he repeatedly refused the invitation, he was never forced.
The scale of demon slaying is much larger than that of ordinary sects, but the cohesion is not inferior to that of the sect.
Although the founders rarely show up, they rely on their personality charm and strong strength to establish a stable and reasonable organizational structure, create a good team atmosphere in the major branches, and then use merit points and ranks to let everyone work together.
Shen Chong's mind came to mind the suspected founders standing outside the martial arts hall of the headquarters during the finals, including old men, strong men, middle-aged women and other men and women.
How powerful are these people?
The ground-level Captain Ai Nilu can reach that level with his might, and it is not full strength, what kind of strength does the heaven-level boss have to become?
If I could have been stronger that day......
Alas.
He didn't blame Captain Anilu for not following him in the first place.
The strong people at each level will have their own affairs, and they will send these people to the task category that they should be responsible for.
If you have to dispatch earth-level or even heaven-level masters for any task, then I am afraid that these strong people can die of exhaustion.
"Shen Chong, don't be too upset."
He was walking out in the crowd with a heavy heart, and suddenly someone tapped him lightly on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it was the head of the front desk team of the Southwest Branch.
She didn't wear a yellow and black striped short skirt today, but wore a jet-black suit like everyone else.
Shen Chong smiled reluctantly, "I'm fine." The leader of the trolling bee team is also here today? β
Trolling Bee looked back at the cemetery in the distance, "Well, I'm the introduction of the praying mantis. Also belonging to the insect monster, the praying mantis often communicates with me. β
Shen Chong was silent for a moment and said, "Mourning." β
"I'm fine."
Shen Chong let out a long sigh, his heart was stunned.
"By the way, Leader Trolling Bee, can I ask you something?"
He suddenly remembered something serious.
The hamster king didn't come today, and the level of starling and brother Biao may not be qualified enough to know, so it may be just right to ask the trolling bee boss in front of him who seems to be the leader of the front desk, but in fact has an administrative level and personal strength.
"You speak."
"When I participated in the Rookie Challenge before, I was promised that if I entered the national competition, I would get a special training spot, and I was told to wait for the notice. But it's been more than a month since the end of the game, why hasn't there been any movement? How long will we have to wait? Do you know what's going on? β
Trolling Bee thought for a moment and said, "I know. β
Shen Chong's eyes lit up, "Really? β
She nodded, "I know something, but I can't tell you clearly, it's a big matter, so you should continue to wait for the notice with peace of mind." β
Shen Chong's face turned bitter, "No! The big guys won't fool me, right? I can't wait and wait, this thing will be delayed! β
"How is this possible! You put 10,000 hearts. β
Shen Chong felt a little big, he didn't like the feeling that the time plan was not under his control.
In case one day I was going to plan to do something very important, but the special training suddenly came, wouldn't this be a cheat?
Seeing his expression, the leader of the Trolling Bee team understood his thoughts, and explained more, "There is no way to do this, the opening hours of the special training location are not fixed, and no one can perceive it in advance." You don't have to be too nervous, you should be notified about a week in advance, and it won't be too abrupt. β
Shen Chong shrugged, no way.
Anyway, it was occupied in the morning, and after returning home, he simply didn't go to the company, and took Liang Zai to the pet store at the entrance of the community.
Before the Qingming Festival, he and Liang Tsai spent four days sweeping the farms in several nearby counties and cities, and a total of nine harvests were harvested at that time.
It's been a month and a half now, and before I know it, five have awakened, and there is still a dog, a chicken, and two fish left without moving.
Theoretically, when the youkai exhibits a definite anomaly that can be observed by him and Liang Zai, it is not far from awakening.
He was originally using the abnormal state as the screening criterion, which was a sign of the Demon Yuan's awakening.
After being caught and waiting for a month and a half, he still hasn't woken up, there is only one explanation, he may have lost his eyes.
Sure enough, after a person and a dog re-observed carefully in the pet store for more than an hour, they first exited and found a corner to discuss in a low voice.
Shen Chong combined his own memories and carefully consulted Liang Zai's perception to draw a new conclusion.
These four are indeed misjudged, and the previously highly suspicious characteristics are actually physiological and genetic phenomena, or individual differences in stages.
The abnormalities of the dogs and chickens have completely disappeared, and the two fish are still a little strange, but they are probably due to a congenital genetic disorder.
He did miscalculate.
It's a pretty bad thing, but when I think about it, I caught nine in four days and hit five, and the hit rate is actually outrageously high.
It's just that his method is too partial to be promoted, otherwise he can get a demon Nobel.
It no longer makes sense for these four to continue to be raised, so Shen Chong decided to dispose of them.
He released the fish directly, and what to do with the chickens and dogs gave him a headache.
Liang Tsai gave a suggestion that was not a suggestion, sent it back to the original owner, and gave a pen to settle in.
There is only one purpose, at least to give the pair of chickens and dogs who have not been able to awaken a chance to spend their old age in peace.
The dog is okay to say, the dog owner was very reluctant when he bought it, and the dog owner will definitely not be able to treat it back if he sends it back.
It is difficult to guarantee the chicken's old age, and after some discussion, Shen Chong found a matter for Liang Zai.
He first negotiated with the person in charge of the chicken farm that he would leave a mark on the chicken and ask the other party to record a video every month and send it to Leung Tsai >
He sees the video payment here, pays every month, and reviews it every month.
Things were very troublesome, but Shen Chong didn't mind very much, after all, it was Liang Zai who was in trouble.
Halfway through the drive back to the original owner, Liang Zai said a little depressedly: "Boss, I still think that I really have to build a ranch as soon as possible." In this way, you can not only eat and drink the buddies who are fished back from the outside, but you can continue to raise them even if you look away, how can there be so much trouble. You should be able to afford to make money so fast now. β
Shen Chong said helplessly, "You can raise it, but do you know how expensive it is to run a ranch on a piece of land in the suburbs of Shudu!" That's the scariest part! β
His ideal pasture area needs at least tens or hundreds of acres of land, and the more the merrier.
As the center of the west, the price of land in the suburbs of the city has soared to the sky like a rocket in recent years, and now it is about to break through outer space.
Shen Chong himself also felt that housing prices were going to rise, and Lin Zhishu personally endorsed the bullish real estate market in front of him.
In the past few months since the start of his stone hammer technology, the land price of Shudu has increased by more than 20%, which is unreasonable.
Although industrial land is relatively cheap, the area he wants is so large that the land transfer fee alone is expected to be as high as more than one billion.
Building a ranch is not expensive, but the land is expensive, and it is super money-burning.
Don't look at Stone Hammer Technology as a money printing machine, but compared to engaging in land, it is simply scum.
He thought he was rich enough, until two days ago he scanned the nearby land transfer auction on a whim, and then found that he was still too naΓ―ve.
I'm so poor that I pick my feet!
After listening to Shen Chong's analysis of the land price, Liang Zai was also frightened, and suggested: "Otherwise, let's go a little further south and choose to go to Peng County?" If you drive the highway, it will take about 40 minutes to get to the base. β
Shen Chong shook his head, "It's not proper, it's too far away from the ministry, what if the big guys can't rescue the basket and overturns?" Captain Ellelu doesn't always be able to be dispatched. Think of the Night Wolf, and other cult organizations. The closer to the city, the more others dare not make a big move, we have not yet opened the strength of the mountain gate outside. β
Liang Zai nodded, "That's right." β
But this is not what Shen Chong really cares about.
It is impossible for the ranch to be handed over to ordinary employees, and most of Liang Tsai and Ji Ge have to be stationed in it.
He must not be the one who takes the lead, and he must run on both ends for three days, so he really can't build far.
Otherwise, if you are too far away from Shin Shin, you will put the cart before the horse.
If Liang Zai knew his true thoughts, he would probably scold him for being crazy, just because he didn't want to be too far away from the little master, he was willing to spend an extra billion!
But Shen Chong's inner mind was extremely firm, and everything he did only revolved around one purpose.
Protect Shin Shin.
This is his core and unwavering thought,
In addition, he insisted on building a ranch with a larger plan.
Fighting the autumn wind to make merit points is just a pretense, he needs a safe place to slowly build his own spirit demon laboratory!
As long as this laboratory is built, relying on your own ability to figure out products that can be sold to demons for merit value, or develop new technologies, that is the real invincible money printing machine, and it is the real reliance on your vain attempt to be the enemy of the world.
Transferred to the Department of Science and Information Technology or the Ministry of Science and Information Technology, as a part-time scientific researcher?
Don't make a fuss, that's not going to make a fortune at all.
Research resources are used by others, and the ownership of the technology certainly does not belong to him, and he can only receive bonuses and get some reward merit points.
Even if you lead your own team, you will inevitably be taken away from most of the benefits, and you are not free.
In his previous life, he had a lot of dealings with technicians in the system, and they were poor and miserable one by one.
Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future..
He believes in his own ability, has this ability, can eat this mouthful of food, why not do it himself outside?
If you want to be on an equal footing with the heaven-level bosses sooner or later, or even overpower them, you must continue to create value for the demon slayer, and then exchange it for the cultivation resources that are useful to you from the demon slayer, and then quickly become stronger at the fastest speed.
One step, ten steps, not thinking about the ultimate success or failure, just crazy to implement his plan strictly and efficiently, this is his style of doing things.
Maybe it's no longer so important to find out the strange smell of Shin Shin's body.
He will not forget this sword of Damocles.
He didn't want Lin Zhishu and Xinxin to be like the families of the martyrs who were kept in the dark, mourning and crying at their funerals.
A strong man once said that it is your own strength that will never betray you.
Shen Chong was convinced.
