Super unscrupulous businessman

Chapter 6: The ups and downs

After sleeping until 3 pm, Paul gradually woke up, dragged his heavy body and dizzy head, managed to cook a bowl of instant noodles, drank some hot soup, and then lay down again in a daze.

Unconsciously, he touched his head, which felt a little dizzy, and smiled bitterly. He must have a high fever.

Thinking about that ridiculous "dream", Paul calmly recalled, "Ha ha, I can even imagine such a bizarre dream. It seems that my life pressure is a little too high recently. Even when I'm sleeping, I unconsciously think about 'adventures' and 'getting something for nothing'.

Paul has his own view on the concept of "dream". The principle of dream is that people in an unconscious state turn things they cannot do into "reality", or the process of recreating what they care most about and continuously pay attention to in the disorderly thinking of their mind.After waking up, people will briefly remember some simple fragments, which will gradually disappear over time.Someone once said that things in dreams may appear repeatedly, but they will not allow you to think independently. In dreams, everything you do will overlap repeatedly. Of course, the premise is that you must have an identical dream.

However, before Paul's mind returned to reality, while he was thinking nonsense, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of something incredible, which made Paul's eyes freeze and his entire body suddenly seem to lose its temperature, falling into a cold cavern and becoming stiff.The arm that had just been put down also remained in a rigid state, not returning to where it should be.

The corner of his eye began to focus, forming a concentrated gaze, staring at the back of his hand.

The back of the hand was still the back of the hand, with no wounds or cracks, just a bright red flame imprint on the skin.

The head was no longer dizzy, the head no longer hurt, and the whole body was strong. Quickly lifting his arm, Paul looked at the red and glamorous flame mark on the back of his hand and felt dumb.

Isn't this the flame that was nailed to the back of my hand by the square pillar after I destroyed the jade pendant in my dream?!

How could something that appeared in a dream be brought to reality by myself?!

Could it be that... I wasn't dreaming just now!

Paul was dumbstruck.

It was really stupid. The ontological consciousness in his head had no response. Such a strange thing made Paul unable to react.

Perhaps he was tired, and the heaviness in his arms brought Paul back to reality. He put down his arms and fell into depression and tears.

At first, she was whimpering, almost louder than a mosquito, but later she began to wail loudly.

I can't escape the power of fate after all. A small mortal can never change the arrangement of heaven.

Thinking about his ridiculous actions in the "dream" and ruining his jade pendant, Paul cried even harder.

This is obviously a trap to kill people, why did I have to catch it?I'm just an unwanted child, okay?Why don't you let me go? I just want to be an ordinary person!Paul was crying and cursing, and his eyes were beginning to water from the hurt in his heart.For 23 years, since he became aware of the world, the number of times Paul cried had decreased year by year. When he left the orphanage at the age of 8, Paul never cried again.

However, today's turn of events finally broke down the boy who had always pretended to be strong, and he cried.

23 years of suffering, 23 years of struggle, 23 years of living a life of neither death nor life, 23 years of striving to live, and in the end, instead of the beautiful life they imagined, the children they imagined, the beautiful wife and concubines they imagined, the wealthy and extravagant lifestyle they imagined, they only got the cruel fate of being puppets.

Doll, a familiar thing for everyone, everyone played with it when they were young. They can play with it as they like, and they don't feel the mood of the doll at all. They don't care about the mood of the doll, as long as the owner is willing, the doll can pose all the shapes that the owner likes, and can throw away its arms, legs, head and other things at will.The ultimate purpose is to make the owner laugh.

Thinking about how he aspired to be rich from the age of 8, how he aspired to no longer be looked down upon by others, how he worked hard to live, study hard, and work hard for the future, the flashing flame imprint on the back of his hand in front of him told him a fact.

The destiny that cannot be escaped.

After all these years of hard work, I still can't escape the fate of being a puppet for others!Although the person playing chess has changed, what hasn't changed is that I am still a puppet.

Just as Paul was suffering from a blow and his spirit began to collapse, a voice came out of his head and entered his consciousness.

"We found bound class soul weapons..."

A brief stream of rambling words came through, bringing Paul, who was close to breaking down, back to his senses.

After wiping away his tears and adjusting his emotions due to excessive nervousness, Paul began to face up to the change.

Close your eyes, and a book with golden light appears in your mind. The cover reads: Beginner's Guide.

Fulfillment of the heart, Paul knew how to turn the pages without any guidance.

Gently opening the book, Paul first saw a blurry image of a young man wearing a white scholar's robe. The specific image was like looking at flowers through fog, and it was somewhat difficult to see clearly.

Keep scrolling down and slowly appreciate the content of this book.Gradually, Paul's decadent mood began to turn around, and his originally gray face began to turn rosy, finally becoming as red as a chicken's blood.

After finally browsing through all the content on the book, the golden manual shattered into pieces and eventually dissipated in his mind. Paul recalled it slightly and was ecstatic, the cracks in his mouth widening and growing, and he was happy.

It's true that great sorrow and great joy are the most exhausting.

Unconsciously, he fell asleep again.This time, Paul completely relaxed his mind, exuding a sense of relief and falling into a deep sleep.

When Paul regained consciousness again, it was already past 11 p.m.

Paul sat up, staring at the mark on the back of his hand, and smiled.

According to the novice manual, Paul hit the jackpot.

The jade pendant that was previously considered a treasure was indeed a trap, and one that was impossible to escape.

The manual clearly states that this jade pendant was made by a bored god.At first, it was used to lure ignorant mortals into joining an organization called the Time-Space Merchants. As the level gradually increases, the jade pendant will be completely integrated into the user's every aspect, and will be forced to enter a place called the Infinite Hell. There, the merchants will compete with each other, constantly staging the ugly side of human nature.If you persist to the end, all of your things will be marked with the symbol of that god, and from then on, you will be dedicated to providing various pleasures for that sinister god to play with, without any initiative of your own.

At first, it's the jade pendant. Even if you completely destroy it before choosing, the red flame mark carried in the jade pendant will find you, and in the flames, it will still carry an irresistible compulsory contract, forcing you to follow the path arranged by the Great God.

Now that Paul destroyed the jade pendant, the square pillar of light destroyed the contract within the flames, resulting in a complete break.The special substance contained in the jade pendant was absorbed by the vortex, and the special abilities carried by the flames were forced into Paul's body, completely breaking free of the constraints of the Great God and no longer being involved.

As for the strange whirlpool, the novice manual has a clear introduction.

The strange vortex is formed by the connection between the celestial realm and the mortal realm. Due to an unknown incident in the celestial realm, which is governed by the Tao of Heaven, the celestial realm and the mortal realm are separated forever, and the barriers between the two realms are getting thicker. The celestial realm is not willing to disappear, so at the final moment of closure, it divides into a trace of power and creates a simple connection channel, sending it into the void and preserving its simplest existence.

However, the Weird Palace is not so clearly explained, only briefly introducing its functions, leaving everything else for Paul to discover on his own.

The existence of the palace is still a mystery, but at least Paul knows one simple thing, that is, all of this is the consciousness of the entire world, and there is no person or species making trouble in it.

To say that Paul has completely escaped his fate of being a puppet is not entirely accurate, and to say that he is completely controlled is not entirely accurate. Now Paul should be interpreted in the words of the novel as a being of the world's destiny.Because the world consciousness, a mysterious and untouchable being that has no emotions, is behind him.It can't do any harm to Paul, let alone a puppet.

Two completely unrelated super gift packages were opened at the same time and the same place, causing Paul's tragic life in these two days. He almost became a mental patient because of these two gift packages, and his spirit almost collapsed. It has to be said that sometimes, an ordinary person has a lot of luck.If the luck is too big, he will be slowly smoked to death by the shit.If two super lucks come together, the only result is that the person who steps on it will be knocked out immediately, and he cannot bear the huge pressure brought by this fate.

According to the novice manual, the basic form of the palace is a place for communication, and it is up to Paul to decide how to develop it.

Due to the need for energy and special materials when it is opened, it will take another three days before the palace can officially start operating.
