If you become a monster, you will succeed

Chapter 156 The Beginning of the Story

Listening to Jessica's question, Feng Xue shook her head:

"Ma'am, please use your brain before asking questions, and then you will find out how ridiculous the questions you ask are."

"What do you mean?" When Jessica heard Feng Xue's obviously mocking words, her expression was a little unsightly. Start thinking about what is wrong with your own problems.

Then she realized her mistake——

The demon who called himself "trading" in front of him, and the one he called "cooking" all had a common characteristic, that is, they did not show intuitive desires themselves, but were more inclined to make humans desire.

So if there is a raging demon, then his behavior style should be "outrageous", not like a religious terrorist, bombing churches everywhere.

If you think about it this way, this church bomber is indeed a lot lower in grade, and it's no wonder that the other party's conversation became thorny after hearing this question.

Although she is a wealthy daughter, Jessica has traveled all over the world for several years and knows how to deal with people. She immediately apologized:

"Sorry, I'm really a little out of my head with this question."

"It's okay." Feng Xue waved her hand, but found that this woman seemed to be thinking about the seven deadly sins intentionally or unintentionally, but once she got hooked on such a big proposition, the difficulty of becoming a ghost story would increase exponentially, so he Immediately, he waved his hands in an indifferent manner, and then added——

"By the way, 'cooking' and 'trading' are not jobs, but hobbies. After all, everyone is in the same industry, just like a group of reporters who code names each other, and don't use 'reporter' as a code name."

"So that's it." Hearing this, Jessica remembered that in the rumor of the "devil chef", there was a speech like "eat something good after work".

In other words, isn't the other party the Seven Deadly Sins?

Slightly disappointed, but then she took it for granted, Jessica readjusted her mentality and continued to ask:

"You said it was a hobby, that is to say, Mister 'Cooking' likes to cook, but you like to do business with people?"

Feng Xue didn't answer this, and Jessica just regarded it as acquiescence, and then continued:

"Then tell me, why did you distribute those 'inferior imitations' you called before?"

"Because the power possessed by authentic products is easy to be abused." Feng Xue replied as a matter of course, and Jessica remembered that she was stuck in the middle of changing clothes in order to keep quiet, and nodded in agreement, but at the same time Slandering in my heart - this is not at all like the answer given by the devil.

But she didn't say this, because she still remembered that the other party didn't seem to like the term "devil".

After sorting out her thoughts a bit, Jessica started to think about whether there were any hot topics.

After all, until now, although the content of the question is considered secret, it is not enough to arouse the "interest" of readers. In this information age, it is no longer like a hundred years ago, when publishing a royal recipe in a newspaper can arouse readers' interest. interest.

She needs something more explosive!

However, the story of the devil coin itself is no different from those stories of righteous thieves and killers, except that it itself happened in reality. Even in terms of the event itself, it is not as popular as the fictional story.

Of course, as an exclusive interview with Mr. Devil, there must be some enthusiasm, but she can't prove that she really did an exclusive interview, instead of imagining a "setting" out of thin air.

"Wait, a hundred years ago?" Jessica sat up straight suddenly, and she remembered what the other party had said before.

The few lines of Sherlock Holmes engraved on the number side of the genuine coin seem to be the motto of a century-old organization?

"What was that group you mentioned earlier? Do they still exist?"

Hearing Jessica's question, Feng Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took a sip of water from the porcelain cup that looked like a lot of money, then clasped her hands and put it in front of the table, with a kind of "I have a story, Do you have any wine?" said in a tone of voice:

"'Libra', you can call it that, as to whether it still exists now... that's what I want to know, so I spread the fakes, but unfortunately, it seems that they have indeed disappeared."

"Libra...an organization I've never heard of." As a wealthy Victorian family member, Jessica has learned about many secret organizations from her father and brother, and learned many anecdotes and legends from those explorers during her various adventures. , but she has never heard of this name, but there is no doubt that it should be related to the scales with gold on one end and a heart on the other end on the "devil coin".

"This is...well, you can think of it as an 'Assassin' organization. Although I don't want to use this word derived from anesthetics (referring to Assassin), this organization is indeed a group that trades human lives."

Feng Xue narrated the story he had already prepared. This was originally a story he planned to spread through the Internet after the issuance of the "new currency", but if it could be published in newspapers, the weight might be different.

Listening to Feng Xue's deep words, Jessica was also aroused, pretending to be listening attentively, and even checked the recorder to make sure it was still working normally.

And Feng Xue didn't play tricks, but said slowly in a "Victorian-style legendary narration" tone (the feeling of narrating the opening chapters of The Lord of the Rings, The Dark Dungeon, and Elden's Circle):

"More than a hundred years ago, an archaeological team discovered an ancient Sargon ruins. The size of the ruins far exceeded their imagination. At that time, archaeology was actually no different from tomb robbery. In order to be consistent with the official and other The peers competed for time, and they chose to hire a group of laborers to excavate the outer layer."

Speaking of this, the corner of Feng Xue's mouth curled up in a mocking arc:

"Of course, a young lady like you may not understand what labor represented at that time."

"I have also studied history!" Jessica immediately retorted when she heard this, "The labor you are talking about should be the 'slave-like' cheated and sold in the name of 'contract labor' from underdeveloped countries and colonies during the colonial era. Bar?"

"That's right." Feng Xue nodded lightly, but didn't say much about the labor issue, but continued his story——

"During the excavation, a certain team found a seriously weathered metal box with a scale pattern, and inside the box, it was the size of a palm, written in ancient Yan language, ancient Sargon language, Aztec ( Aztec has destroyed the country, so there is no metal plate carved in the three ancient languages..."

"You know, the composition of labor is very complicated. There are poor farmers and fishermen from Yan Kingdom, Aztec survivors from Colombia, and of course the natives of Sargon...

"Those guys called intermediary companies who are actually slave owners will mix laborers from different regions and countries together for the convenience of management, making it difficult for them to communicate with each other.

"Under such circumstances, the relationship between the labor teams is often quite unfamiliar, and naturally there is no tacit understanding. Even if some treasures are dug up, they can't even communicate or share the spoils. This is why the archaeological team dares to hand over the excavation work to cause for labor."

Having said that, Feng Xue suddenly stopped talking, picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip of water, while Jessica couldn't wait to ask:

"Did this team keep the secret? Get Dong XZ up?"

I think the judgment on the coin is very clear. The person who proposes the transaction is Party A, and the person who accepts the transaction is Party B. You can bring this relationship into the reality of Party A’s father and Party B’s wage earners.

First of all, as a wage earner, your reason for rejecting customer orders can only be "getting the price" (that is, the price is not enough), not "I don't want to accept it".

Secondly, the judgment price can only be based on Party A’s needs. It’s like a company discussing a project. You can ask Party A to increase money on the grounds that Party A’s needs are too complicated, material costs increase, and technology is difficult, but you can’t Ask Party A to increase money in the name of "our project team's salary has not been paid for several months", "I need to save money to marry a wife", etc.

Of course, if Party A "deliberately" asks you to go to work when your wife is about to give birth, you can ask for additional money, and the difference lies in whether Party A has this intention.

That is, it depends on whether the order is "you make this for me" or "you make this for me when your wife has a baby".

That's why I said "the coin only considers party A".

Because Jessica didn't mean to cheat the protagonist, and didn't even know that he was being hunted down, so the order was just "go home" instead of "going home at the risk of being caught", so the coin judged that the protagonist would accept the order , so the transaction is established.
