Super unscrupulous businessman

Chapter 4: Mood

As for whether his luck was stored or not, Paul wisely chose the first option, even though others didn't believe it, but he did.The information transmitted by the jade pendant is somewhat disorganized and basically a mess. Although Paul has temporarily found an introduction to what this thing is, knowing that it is an "artifact" that can change fate, he also knows that this is not a clue left by his parents. Loss and excitement are entangled in his heart, and ultimately turn into a helpless sigh.To enjoy the "gentle super treatment", he still has a long way to go.

As Paul gradually sorted out the information, he finally discovered something strange about the swirl of red light behind the jade pendant.

According to the information, the jade pendant is just a jade pendant, and its ability is only to connect two nodes, and it does not have the ability to form a whirlpool, let alone a whirlpool that is so strange and mysterious.

There is no mention of the strange vortex in the information.

Putting aside the desire to explore, Paul stared intently at the jade pendant in his hand. He knew that this was a chance to change his destiny, but when it came to making a choice, he still hesitated.

Having lived alone in this world for more than 20 years, Paul has just seen through this cannibalistic society. His 20-plus years of experience and suffering have made him deeply understand one truth: Heaven will not drop a pie on you for no reason. If one day, a pie really falls from the sky, it will either be a bottomless pit or a pie that will directly kill you.In Paul's impression, everyone who receives a pie from heaven for no reason is either dead or choked to death. There is no one who survives after accepting it.

Even if a perfect, pit-free, and dangerous pie did fall, it's obvious that someone must have been behind it.

Although Paul's experience was not really mature, he could still distinguish simple things like this.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Paul's thoughts began to wander, and a variety of emotions kept surging in his mind.

Think about all the fantasy novels you have read about adventures. Isn't this the beginning of the protagonist in the novel?There is always a mysterious helper at the beginning, and then the protagonist becomes brilliant and powerful, and then he or she collects beautiful women and does reckless things.

But in the novels, the fate of the protagonist is always to face this mysterious helper who initially helped them develop, either in a life-and-death battle or a life-and-death struggle.

Now, Paul is faced with a golden opportunity to become a pig's foot. All he has to do is follow the steps in the novel and slowly develop. Not to mention poverty, even global dominance is a matter of time.

But according to Paul's current normal IQ, he will surely become a pawn in the hands of others, without freedom and thought, just a puppet with strings in the hands of others.At best, he is a puppet with strings, and at worst, he is just a monkey played by others.The experiences of the protagonists in those novels are just novels after all. In reality, the chess player will never let a pawn escape from his control.Once he finds that his pawn has the intention to turn into a serf and sing, the only action he will take is to remove the pawn.Paul will never believe in the lies like "the master is lonely and needs to cultivate his opponent" with his toes.

This has caused Paul to be extremely conflicted. On the one hand, he wants to die recklessly, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to become a monkey in someone else's hands.These two extremes are constantly shifting in his mind, making it difficult for Paul to make a decision.

Finally, after standing there for a while, the confused look in Paul's eyes suddenly changed.

As a diaosi who has struggled alone in this cannibalistic society and has successfully survived for more than 20 years, death is not terrible, nor is being treated like a monkey. What is terrible is that it is better to die than to live.

Someone once said, being played like a monkey is because you have the qualifications to be played. Some people don't even have the opportunity to be played.This is the reality.

After taking a fixed look at the jade pendant that he had carried with him for more than 20 years and never left, Paul's eyes began to shine brighter and a strange aura rose up around him. This aura was called determination.

Paul looked up at the swirling vortex that was still spinning in the distance, and then at the deep darkness beyond, and took a deep breath before crushing the jade pendant that he had previously held so dear in his hand.

Thankfully, the material of this jade pendant is very poor, otherwise, it would be impossible for me to crush it in one go, Paul thought to himself.

However, with the breaking of the jade pendant and the changes in the scene, Paul was stunned.The illusory scene was completely different from what he had imagined.

According to his original idea, as long as he destroyed the jade pendant, everything would be over, and this extremely real and absurd "dream" would wake up.He would still be the transparent person struggling at the bottom of society.

Paul has lived for more than 20 years and understands some things. He also has absolute confidence in himself.He doesn't need any "golden fingers" or pie in the sky. As long as he works hard, everything will be fine.He completely believes in the truth that his own strength is his own, and all other external things are fake.Such adventures are not for him, let alone in the "dream" now.

At the moment when Paul crushed the jade pendant in his hand, he was still thinking: If this were in reality, would he choose to inherit all this?Although it is not very reliable, it is fortunate to have a sense of joy in living.Not much, just let oneself live unrestrained for a hundred years of freedom.But the only regret is that now it is in the "dream", perhaps only in such a unrealistic, undisturbed, and worry-free world, will he bring out his original pride and backbone that has gradually faded away!

However, the change in the scene in front of him directly shocked Paul.

The broken jade pendant in his hand gradually dissipated like dust, and the thousands of red ribbons that floated unconsciously in the swirl of the vortex in the distance suddenly stretched out from a distance like a shark that smells fishy, and quickly swept back to the center of the vortex, picking up a little of the scattered jade pendant dust.

Paul saw a magnificent red meteor feast in front of him.The stretched and shrunken red ribbons came to his eyes in an instant and returned to their original position. Thousands of ribbons formed a torrential momentum of rainstorm, which brought Paul a different feeling.Paul, who had never had such a fantastic feeling, was deeply immersed in the dreamlike magnificence, forgetting even what he had just wanted to do.

However, just as Paul wanted to revel in this beautiful scenery, the entire scene suddenly went silent. The red ribbons that had been flying in a spray suddenly stopped completely, in a sudden change from extreme movement to extreme stillness. The intense discomfort made Paul's chest ache and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Smiling bitterly, Paul finally regained his composure.He suppressed the sudden irritation in his heart and lowered his head to concentrate on his palm.

The inferior jade pendant had completely dissipated, but a red flame remained in Paul's hand, dancing on his skin. Although it was still burning cheerfully without fuel, there was no trace of heat, and Paul smiled ruefully.

It seems that it's not so easy to escape from the fate of being a pawn. It's not just destroying a prop.

Is he a born pawn?Is he so unlucky?He has already expressed that he would not be a pawn, Paul lamented silently.

As Paul was lamenting his future fate, the spinning vortex in the distance began to change

.A golden square light beam shot out of the model palace and instantly traversed the distance of space, directly pinning the pulsating flame in the center. It then turned around and pushed the flame onto Paul's back, forcing it into his hand and leaving a very luxurious flame imprint.The square light beam then gradually dissipated.

The sudden change frightened Paul again, and this feeling of being scared was not very fun.

He quickly turned his hand around and carefully observed the flame mark on the back of his hand without missing a single detail. Strange to say, this flame mark was like a natural part of Paul's body, with no sign of inconsistency, as if it was supposed to be there.

Paul carefully confirmed the mark on his body and found no changes or losses, and he took a deep breath.The square-shaped light pillar aroused Paul's interest.Can the light pillar turn corners? Isn't it amazing?Isn't it strange?

However, when Paul looked up, he was stunned again.In a short period of time, Paul was stunned into two stupors, and all kinds of strange changes overwhelmed Paul, making him feel silly and confused.

The magnificent whirlpool rotating in the center of the space has slowly begun to shrink, and a gradually growing palace model begins to protrude, gradually taking center stage. The originally prominent whirlpool has become a decorative backdrop.As the palace model gradually grows larger, Paul finally sees the true face of the palace model.

For the first time, I saw a hundred-step ladder to the sky, with lush flowers on both sides. The escalator jade pillars were surrounded by nine-feathered golden crowned phoenixes with colorful feathers. The hundred-step ladder had hundreds of sections, carved with mountains, water, and exotic flowers and grasses.Then, 18 dragon-shaped pillars supporting the sky were lined up on both sides, with golden scales, red whiskers, and nine claws circling the sun.The exquisitely carved pillars of red lacquer stood on both sides of the gate, commanding the whole world.The white jade was like crystal, and two bright jade doors were closed tightly.

The entire hall is magnificent, with brilliant stars;golden nails are used to decorate the door, and colorful phoenixes dance in front of the red door.It has a majestic and magnificent atmosphere that shines throughout the world.

However, there was something that surprised and dissonant to Paul at first glance in such a magnificent building.
