Chapter 600: a lost century

   Chapter 600 A century of disappearance

"In this world, the slowest way to make money is with your own unique skills," Qing Zhun said as he dealt the cards, "Whether you are collecting tickets on a steam train, or your gambling skills are superb, or your steamed buns are particularly good. If you eat, or write a good novel, you may make tens of millions a year, but the speed of making money is only third-rate, which is called making money by yourself.”

  Qingchen asked: "Then what is second-rate?"

   Qingzhun said: "Model, when you create a money-making model that can be mass-produced, and then sell it to others, such as joining, for example, collecting dividends, it is called relying on others to make money."

  Qingchen: "Then what is first-class?"

   Qingzhun: "Using capital to create capital is first-class. This is called money begets money."

  Qingchen: "Is there anything above the first-class?"

   Qingzhun: "Yes."

"what?"

   "War."

   The implication is that war is the most profitable cause, because it is subverting the social structure of the past, and the most essential goal is the replacement of power.

   And power is something that even money cannot buy in this world.

  Qingchen muttered: "You are a lobbyist sent by the shadow, you just want me to go back to the Qing family to take over some power, and then give up the current small business of conductors..."

  Qingjun laughed without saying a word.

Qingchen said: "According to the speed of making money, the super-first-class, first-class, second-class, and third-class you mentioned are indeed established, but if there is no third-class, no one will sell buns, and no one will be a conductor, then the second-class and first-class will not be They will exist, they are the indispensable foundation of this world."

  Qingzhun said sadly: "Boss, without you, the steam train is still running well, and the steam train doesn't need you at all!"

   "It seems to be..." Qing Chen thought thoughtfully: "I feel like you've made a big deal when dealing with cards, but I don't have any proof."

   Qingzhun raised his eyebrows: "I won't you still need to pay a thousand dollars? You can say that I'm not good enough, but you can't question my brand."

  Yangyang: "That's it!"

  Qingchen turned his head and looked at Yangyang speechlessly, girl, where are you from?

   At this moment, Kyung-jun stood up, and he walked to the window and looked out of the window in a trance.

   They have reached the south of the Federation, and wherever the steam train passes, there are rivers and lakes everywhere.

   There are no traces of human life beside those lakes. They are so clear that you can see the fish swimming at the bottom of the lake. They are green but clear, like a deep pool.

   is like a piece of imperial green jade inlaid on the ground.

   Qingzhun said: "Let's stop playing cards, let's take a look at the scenery, the scenery is so beautiful."

Qingchen glanced at his cards, and immediately became angry: "It's true that you didn't make a thousand when you dealt the cards, but when I have two kings, four two, and four aces in my hand at the same time, you say you want to see the scenery. How many times have you been on the way, if you don't have a good card, just throw it away and watch the scenery! What brand is this!?"

   Qingzhun laughed cheerfully: "It's important to have such a beautiful view when playing poker."

   Qingchen said: "Everyone deliberately loses money to their bosses, so that they will have a future. You will not be promoted if you do this!"

In the distance of the plain, there is a large lake shrouded in clouds and smoke, Qingzhun introduced: "That is the No. 012 forbidden place, and it is also the most special forbidden place in the Federation. It used to be one of the largest inland lakes in the Federation. And the powerful fish are hidden at the bottom of the lake, and it is difficult for humans to set foot in it, and do not even know what rules it has."

   "How did this thing form?" Qingchen asked curiously.

"Some people say that a certain demigod happened to die when he was rafting on the lake, and some people say that a huge six-bearded catfish died in it, but neither of these claims has been confirmed," Qing Zhun said: "That lake There used to be a settlement of wild people nearby, who lived by fishing on the lake, where the fish bite the hook very fast and the meat is so good that people don’t have to enter the forbidden land on the shore.”

  Qingchen asked curiously: "What about now? Are the wild people still there?"

"The Chen family killed them all," Qing Zhun said. "Now there is a fish production base next to the lake. The entire federation of high-end fish and caviar is supplied from here, exclusively for the upper three districts. Get off here and taste the most delicious sea bass in the legend?"

   Qingchen said: "Subordinates must have the awareness of subordinates, don't plan your itinerary at will!"

   As a result, this time, just after he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head.

   The speed was so fast that Qing Chen couldn't react at all.

Qing Zhun said with a half-smile, "You're still addicted to playing, right? I really don't know what you're thinking, and I didn't say anything about my shadow identity, so I just wanted to use me for two more days. Field Awakener, can she not perceive my force field, does it mean that I don't know the characteristics of a force field awakener?"

   "What are you talking about, I don't know anything..." Qing Chen received another slap on the back of the head.

   He was helpless, even though he now has a B rank, he still has no power to fight back against this S rank.

   Even if he knew that the shadow was going to shoot, he still couldn't escape.

   A demigod is like a high mountain, you can only see it from a distance, and all the mountains in the world seem to be like this.

   But only when you go to the foot of the mountain and look up at the soaring, boundless mountain peak, will you know that it is a high mountain that all living beings can’t cross for a lifetime.

Qingchen was also stubborn, and said directly: "Do you remember that you also praised the shadow as a good person? By the way, when you were in the intelligence department, you were still struggling to pretend, obviously you were not there every time you acted, Fei thinks he's acting very well... Come on, hurt each other!"

  Shadow's complexion changed.

  Clap, Qingchen got another slap on the back of his head.

  Yangyang hurriedly peeled off the citrus and gave it to the shadow: "Cough, don't be angry with him, you will be stupid if you fight again..."

Shadow said with a smile: "Young girl still has some eyesight, if it weren't for her, you would have to take at least two hits. Since you asked me to carry two mountaineering bags, I wanted to see if you could To what extent did you do it, and in the end you really did it!"

   Qingchen imitated Shadow's tone and said, "I was sent by Mr. Shadow to protect you..."

  Shadow raised her eyebrows.

  Yangyang hurriedly poured another glass of water for the shadow: "Kick off the gas, pick up the gas..."

  Xiao Mengqian was about to cry.

   At this time, the shadow didn't say anything to Qingchen: "I have something to do, you two stay by my side, don't let anyone get close."

   After saying that, he sat aside and closed his eyes.

   Qingchen was stunned for a moment, the scene he had seen reappeared, and the shadow's breathing disappeared.

   No, to be precise, the frequency of Shadow's breathing was stretched for an infinitely longer time span, so that others thought his heartbeat had disappeared.

   Qingchen understood.

   It wasn't that the shadow couldn't stand being "made" by himself, but that he noticed the strangeness of his body and knew that he couldn't hide it.

   Qingchen looked at Yangyang: "Has his force field changed?"

   "Extremely weak," Yang Yang said worriedly.

   Qingchen sighed.

   He finally knew why Shadow came out to play this time.

  Ten minutes passed, the shadow opened his eyes and looked at everyone with a smile as if nothing was wrong: "Are you worried about me?"

   "Worry," Qing Chen said seriously: "I have no relatives in the outer world, and you are one of my few relatives in the inner world. It must be a lie to say that I am not worried."

  When the boy first met the shadow, he was full of precautions. After all, the shadow came and went without a trace, and there was no trace or purpose in what he did.

   also took the extraordinary to grow tea.

  To get along with such a person, 12 points of vigilance is not enough.

   But later Qingchen found out that the shadow would not harm him.

   In his eyes, he has only three elders in this world, Li Shutong, Li Xiurui, and Shadow.

  Li Shutong has left his hometown.

  Li Xiurui has been buried in the forbidden place of No. 002.

   Only shadows remain.

Qingchen asked: "Is it because your illness has started to occur frequently, so you can't stay in Qing's? Besides, you don't have much time. Mr. Li looked for me before his death, and you also looked for me before his death. What, I am Hospice?"

  Shadow was silent.

   Qingchen sighed: "How long do you have?"

   Shadow smiled, he could actually hear the resentment hidden in Qingchen's complaining tone.

  People like them are not used to expressing their feelings, but hide them in some details.

Shadow said: "You don't need to know how long I have left, and I don't like people living counting down the days for me, as if I should be lying in the ICU with tubes all over my body. Don't worry, the one who controls the time. People, even if they die, will be no different from normal people in the first second. I will die at the most brilliant moment, that's enough."

  Qingchen sighed and asked, "I still don't understand, since you are already a demigod, why is your lifespan so short, even if you are not injured."

  Shadow said: "It's obviously not hurt, but I have."

   Qingchen: "...What a rotten stalk."

  Shadow smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not hurt. I told you before that I often cough in front of outsiders because I want them to think I'm hurt."

   "Then why did your heart stop?" Qingchen asked in confusion.

   Shadow glanced at him: "I used to overdraw time for a person."

   Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "Overdraft? How long have you been overdrafting?"

   Shadow said calmly: "A century."

  Others, Shadow didn't say more.
