Indescribable cyberpunk

A black swan's loyalty doesn't matter.

All Zhu Jue needs is something she does to show her loyalty.

"The lawns and roads outside the house will soon be handled by a dedicated team, please rest assured."

Standing at the entrance of the house, Black Swan subconsciously wanted to take off his shoes, but he saw Zhu Jue, who had turned into a gentleman again, walking in without caring and could only follow quickly.

Modern smart anti-theft facilities should be extremely easy to use, but when I met Zhu Jue, who could become the owner of the house, he easily passed the smart detection at the door with the gentleman's key.

Everyone was killed, and now it was time to harvest the fruits. Zhu Jue found the gentleman's workshop, entered using the same method, and saw the suitcase placed on the table at a glance.

"Tell me about the situation, gentlemen, including the organization you are going to conduct transactions with tonight."

After opening the lock on the suitcase, Zhu Jue paused, turned back to look at Black Swan, and suddenly said,

"There won't be much content, it's almost 12 o'clock now. Let's talk about the important ones first, such as what you did in the dreamland."

"Mr. Gentleman. A gentleman has a considerable part of his property, whether in this world or in the dreamland."

Black Swan considered the words and tried to explain the gentleman's situation in more concise terms.

But if you want to explain clearly what happened over the years, it can't be expressed in one or two paragraphs.

So Black Swan spoke for nearly an hour.

Putting aside the miscellaneous useless information in Zhu Jue's eyes, a considerable part of the inside story revealed by Black Swan still surprised Zhu Jue.

As Zhu Jue had thought before, the gentleman's business in Dreamland in recent years was not just about his "Shining Gold Bank" lie and his noble title. What was really worth paying attention to was that he used his noble status to operate in Usa Town. Commercial stations opened in Neil City and other places.

That's right, in addition to his noble status in the dreamland, this guy is actually a moderate businessman. He initially relied on sending some candies and meat from the real world through the space gate into the dreamland to sell, and then he started his business in a short period of time. In just a few years, relying on his secret operations and the "efforts" of those "temporary workers", he developed into a chamber of commerce all over the place. Even the port of Dilas has his trading station. According to Black Swan, the scale is Not too small.

What is a business website?

This is a relatively general term. To put it bluntly, it is the wholesale market we now see or the market for merchants.

The gentleman provides a trading place for merchants from all over the world, and he himself takes a commission from it and resells various materials back and forth. And these merchants from all over the dreamland will bring intelligence from all over the world without exception, so the gentleman is equivalent to He built himself a chain of intelligence gathering stations.

The two people they met at Egret Square used the title "broker" when referring to gentlemen, which was probably due to this factor.

Besides, the person who traded with the gentleman in Egret Square tonight belongs to the Dreamland Troupe. In every sense, they are the "Shining Gold Bank" that the gentleman mentioned. A mysterious organization that is inextricably linked.

Compared to Gentleman, this organization has a better understanding of Dreamland, and its contact time is much earlier than Gentleman.

Under Black Swan's narration, Zhu Jue realized that the number of space gates controlled by this so-called Dream Brigade was actually very small, and could be counted on two hands.

Some people may ask, since they control very few space gates and they are distributed all over the world, how can the entire Dreamland Brigade enter and exit the Dreamland?

In fact, Zhu Jue also asked this question immediately.

Dream medicine!

This is the core item in the formation of the Dream Brigade, a special secret medicine that was passed down from somewhere.

People who drink the potion will soon fall asleep and fall into a strange state. The strange thing is that all people who drink the same potion will find that they are all in the same dream and enter the dreamland in a certain way.

Even by adjusting the source of raw materials and the proportion of ingredients, the caster can adjust the location of entering the dream. For example, the ingredients of the dream medicine for going to Ursa and going to Neil City are exactly the same, but there is a certain flavor in them. The material may be more or less.

In the real world, the sleep time brought by the medicine is one hour, but the corresponding feeling in the dreamland can be long or short (from a few days to a few years). This is just like when we dream, we often experience the four seasons. Jumping, waking up only to be in a drowsy state for a few hours, the same is true for the effect of the dream medicine.

It’s just that ordinary dreams are false and will naturally pass away with the wind after waking up, but everything that happens after entering the dreamland through the dream medicine is true!

Although Zhu Jue didn't quite understand the principle behind this, when he thought about it later, he just smacked his lips.

There was no way around it. The Dreamland was just like the mental pollution monsters he had encountered before. It was a special place. To put it bluntly, it was not scientific at all.

And this is also the reason why the Dreamland Troupe trades with the gentleman. Their things in the dreamland need to be transferred through the gentleman or simply purchased from him nearby. Otherwise, they will have to spend a long time waiting for the things under the control of the organization. The procedures involved in the operation of the space door can be said to be very cumbersome, and this is also the origin of the gentleman's other title "postman".

In the same way, the situation of the Dream Eaters organization on the gentleman's side is similar to that of the Dream Troupe, except that the nature of the former may be worse.

Zhu Jue once chatted with Atal about outsiders in Uzza Cathedral. At that time, Atal mentioned that besides them, there were more outsiders who appeared in the dreamland. are dreamers.

At that time, Zhu Jue had preconceived the idea that the dreamers here were those who entered the dreamland unintentionally as the gentleman said. Only now did he realize that Atal was actually talking about those people who entered the dreamland through the dream medicine.

At this time, Zhu Jue inevitably had doubts. Since the dream medicine can make people exist in the dreamland for a long time, why not just survive for a few years at a time and explore the dreamland thoroughly? Reality is nothing more than that. It's one hour, isn't it?

This has to involve human spiritual issues. The rules of the Dream Troupe are adjusted according to the strength of the individual's soul. Three days is the maximum period for ordinary people (this is where the gentleman's rules come from). Is this a safe time, or is it in As long as the potion is only used once a month, once this time is exceeded, the human brain will begin to adapt to the dream environment.

Since the Dreamland is also a mature world, if those who enter from the real world stay in it for a long time, their brains will subconsciously think that the Dreamland is the real world, and the original real world is just a dream. , the longer the time goes by, the more serious this thought will become!

And this is still impossible to self-alert. It is basically like a person who does not realize that he is dreaming when he is dreaming.

This will make it increasingly difficult for people to return to the real world. After the brain truly begins to accept the dreamland, even if the effect of the medicine is removed, the person will remain in the dreamland, and the body in the real world will naturally become a useless body. The body of the soul.

This statement seems to be very similar to the ascension mentioned in Eastern religions or the entry into heaven in Western religions. Putting aside the earthly body, the soul can live forever.

In fact, all those people went to Dreamland?

When Zhu Jue thought of this, he secretly laughed for a long time at his sudden strange conjecture.

In fact, if he had read Volume 6 of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra", he might not be able to laugh anymore.

Putting aside the two things related to the dreamland above, Black Swan finally mentioned the gentleman's industry in the real world. The gentleman not only secretly controls the sale of some specialties in the dreamland, but also relies on his accumulation over the years to make money in reality. The world has also accumulated huge wealth, otherwise it would be impossible to buy the villa in Waffle House.

But in order to hide his identity, Gentleman often appears as an investor. He has never really owned a company of his own. In other words, he holds shares in quite a few groups and is considered an investor in Dawn City. High-class people.

Of course, after the gentleman's death, all these assets will now belong to Zhu Jie. After all, the gentleman's parents have passed away long ago and he has no children. These properties have been managed by Black Swan and some managers from a very early stage, so naturally there will be no nonsense. The drama of the inheritance dispute.

In just two or three days, Black Swan will throw away most of the gentleman's assets, leaving only some relatively high-quality assets that can bring him a steady stream of wealth without Zhu Jue's intervention, because Zhu Jue I have no interest in attending any board meetings or cocktail parties of any kind.

Although Zhu Jue replaced the gentleman, he had no intention of "occupying" his house. Firstly, many of the equipment in the house had to be activated by the gentleman himself. Zhu Jue had always been a little averse to living in the presence of others. Secondly, in the house The things he owned were all used by gentlemen, and Zhu Jue had no interest in sleeping in someone else's bed.

Therefore, when Black Swan reported some more important matters to Zhu Jue and said that he wanted to go back to deal with other matters, Zhu Jue naturally agreed and returned directly to his home in Heywood District.

With the existence of the scavenger body, Zhu Jue doesn't need to worry about whether the Black Swan will take the opportunity to escape. Anyway, he knows almost everything he should know now. It would be best if the Black Swan is sensible. If he really can't figure it out, I wish him I don't mind getting rid of one more person.

"Huh~ Now let's get some other gains."

After washing up and putting on his pajamas, Zhu Jue sat on the sofa with the wind chime. He put aside the suitcase containing the dream medicine that the gentleman had previously obtained from the Dreamland Troupe, and took out the space ring.

Compared with the assets in the real world and the dream world, the things stored in them are the real benefits that Zhu Jue can see now.

Putting on the space ring, Zhu Jue was glad that there was no such thing as a blood-shedding to identify one's kin or owner, and that whoever got it could use it.

With a wave of his hand, a spatial vortex immediately emerged out of thin air.

The originally empty tabletop was filled to the brim in just a few seconds!
