Chapter 536: Levi is approaching
“Please don’t misunderstand me, I am a headhunter for the Three Seconds Security Group.
“We mainly provide protection from awakeners to clients who need protection and can pay enough.
"You don't have to be so alert. The reason I dare to stop you two here is because we have a cooperative relationship with the authorities."
Levi Sherman plays the role of the stockings uncle with a very professional temperament.
“I wonder if you two are interested. We can go to the cafe next door and chat.
"Don't worry, this will definitely not have any negative impact. Even if you two reject me in the end, I can fully understand.
“Moreover, if we really establish a cooperative relationship, I can give you more conveniences, including improving your treatment at the advanced training base, obtaining adequate compensation, and obtaining permission to carry weapons in the city, etc.
“We can also provide some convenience in assessing your ability level.
"We also have a different awakening injection channel than the official one. If we establish a long-term cooperative relationship, I guarantee that you can have a better life."
Yang Ming and Edwan Kabuba looked at each other for a few seconds.
"Kabu, come and communicate."
"Oh, no no no, that's too cruel for me!"
Adwan Kabuba shook his head like a rattle, then looked at this 'human' whose gender could not be directly determined.
"We appreciate your kindness, but we are still students, even though we are in the advanced training base. Moreover, we have very strict disciplines and we dare not violate them."
"Give me a chance."
The uncle in stockings began his way of acting like a spoiled child.
Yang Ming got goosebumps all over the floor!
No, this City of Light is really a place where all kinds of birds can be found.
Seeing that the old man had taken the initiative to pull Kabu forward, Yang Ming frowned and stood up, saying calmly:
"Your Excellency, we have different aesthetics. You think this kind of pulling and tugging is natural, but we feel offended."
"Sorry, this is our corporate culture," the stockings uncle said hurriedly, "This image belongs to our work uniforms. The guy who designed this image is really a pervert."
In the invisible spaceship above their heads, Li smiled with narrowed eyes.
The stockings uncle turned to pull Yang Ming's arm:
“Please! You two are the talents that our group is focusing on. If you mind, I can directly call your head coach and we can talk together.
"This is a rule allowed by them. Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."
Adwan Kabuba said, "Daru, I've heard about this too. Many guys who are higher in rank than us have become bodyguards for wealthy businessmen, and they can also serve in normal awakened teams. They only need to help the awakened teams on missions occasionally, and they can get a lot of benefits."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "I'm a little disgusted by this."
Levi Sherman immediately said in a pinched voice: "Are you disgusted by my image? I can find a place to change into casual clothes after get off work. This is really our corporate culture, really."
Yang Ming said: "I'm sorry, I am disgusted by the practice of using public resources to train awakened people, and then the awakened people provide private protection services for those rich people."
"But this is the unspoken rule."
Levi Sherman immediately said:
"I know you are a person with a strong sense of justice, but isn't this the reality?
"You have been training diligently in the Awakener Organization, but when you leave the advanced training base, you will be assigned to an Awakener team that only has a few offices.
"Most of the time, you have nothing to do. You can only sit in the office bored or go to the training ground on the roof to burn off some energy. Then you get a fixed salary every year, which may only be enough to support the basic expenses of a family.
“Then, you may only see that those guys who were far inferior to you in those days get more resources, reach higher positions, and receive more praise.
"These are all interconnected, Mr. Daru."
Adwan Kabuba said: "Daru means that we don't want to become the pawns of those capitalists."
"Don't tell him too much."
Yang Ming shook his head and turned away.
Adwan Kabuba smiled politely at the old man, lowered his head and quickly followed him.
"Mr. Daru! Mr. Kabuba! I will come to your base to find you!"
The two young men's cadence increased significantly.
…
On the way back, Yang Ming was thinking about that strange uncle and still felt a little physically uncomfortable.
"How strange."
Adwan Kabuba groaned for a few seconds:
“How dare they come after us so blatantly?
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be done in secret? How could we possibly agree to it if they approached us on the street?
"They are too blatant."
Yang Ming said: "Before, several people tried to add me through my contact terminal, which means that the information we entered in the training base has been leaked. It may be the initial training base, which has more contact with the society."
Adwan Kabuba smiled and said, "So what are your plans for the future, Daru?"
Intend?
Upgrade quickly, kill Levi, then leave this city of light and return to the real world to prepare for upgrading.
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Yang Ming smiled, leaned back in the seat of the driverless taxi, and adjusted himself to a semi-lying position.
He closed his eyes and said slowly:
"However, I will definitely not be a bodyguard for those so-called bosses, that is not a job I like.
“There are constantly mutants appearing in this world. If the mutants are not eliminated in time, they may become a huge monster. Its destructive power can destroy several or even dozens of urban areas. I want to become an awakened person who can fight these monsters head-on.
"That's about it."
This is actually not wrong, because awakeners of that level are rare beings above Lv60.
Adwan Kabuba stretched and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, seeming a little dazed.
Yang Ming asked: "What about you? What do you plan to do in the future?"
"Me? It depends on what you want to do. I'll find a way to follow you no matter what you do."
"No," Yang Ming sat up by the armrest and looked at this guy seriously, "Kab, I have to have a good talk with you. My sexual orientation is normal."
"I'm normal too!"
"Are you sure?"
"certainly!"
Adwan Kabuba sighed:
“I’m actually confused, really, Daru.
“I opened my eyes in my hospital bed and I saw you hanging upside down from the ceiling like a bat, and I was like — wow, you’re so cool.
"Then I always felt that you were a cool guy, very strong and good at fighting, and you could stand up and solve any troubles you encountered, so you were very trustworthy.
"Being your little partner is the happiest thing for me, because I don't have to worry about those big, troublesome problems, I just need to complete some small things."
“You…”
Yang Ming leaned back and lay back in his chair, responding weakly:
"Okay, stop talking, just do whatever you want, this driverless car computer can't stand it anymore."
"Isn't this normal?" Adwan Kabuba smiled with narrowed eyes.
This guy Ming is really gentle.
At the same time, inside the invisible spaceship in the air.
Levi Sherman watched this scene with an indelible smile on his face.
"It's really interesting. Yang Ming doesn't know that his good friend Ed Wang is Kabu, but Ed Wang knows. He is just protecting and helping Yang Ming... If this is not love."
Li on the side snorted: "Why don't you reflect on it? The great Emperor Levi actually doesn't ."
"We also have the attributes of friends."
"roll."
"You rewarded me again," Levi Sherman said with a smile, and then changed the subject, "I need to have an in-depth communication with them, preferably one that gains their trust. Do you have any plan?"
"If it's a setting similar to the one just now, I can give you countless."
"Come on! I'm so embarrassed!"
"Aren't you excited?" Li said calmly, "If it weren't for this cute contrast, would they have communicated with you so much?"
"Contrasting cuteness? Are you serious?"
Levi Sherman's old face was full of disbelief.
He continued to look at Yang Ming and Edwang and sighed slightly:
“I really envy them. I actually reflected a lot on why I can’t just trust someone completely?
"If this is the mentality that all so-called emperors must have, then how did Yang Ming achieve mutual trust with Edwang? Logically speaking, there should have been power competition between them at several stages of their power development."
"This question..."
Li was also thinking, and then gave his own opinion:
“It’s because the fundamental concepts are different.”
"The fundamental idea?"
"Well," Li nodded slowly, "Have you forgotten that Yang Ming comes from a primitive greenhouse civilization..."
"What does it matter?"
"Of course it is related," Li said quickly, "Everyone is dominated by his or her past. Just like the most important elements of every thinking body are memory and basic logical circuits, the past of each individual shapes the future of this individual."
Levi Sherman laughed and said, "This is irrational. I extracted Yang Ming's personality, which contains a lot of collectivism and collective honor. Some of his views can also be seen as views that can only be given to individuals under the template environment of a great socialist society."
"Even in a relatively primitive planetary surface society, when productivity develops to a certain level, it is possible to create a social environment dominated by collectivism and socialism."
"Well," Levi Sherman sighed, "I have to admit that socialism is the system with the best advantages in protecting individual rights. Every system is good at the beginning of its design, but in the process of operation, there is often a problem of slower metabolism. Wealth will always be concentrated in the hands of the richer people. Society will never be truly fair, because true fairness will erase individuality and make some people lose the motivation to strive, thus causing another kind of disadvantage."
“Everything is dynamic.”
Li said calmly:
"Are you going to discuss with me how to create a more fair, more reasonable, and more self-regulating democratic social system?"
"Of course not. That doesn't make sense," Levi Sherman said with a smile. "The character of a nation or civilization also comes from its past. Every nation and civilization is unique. There is no way there can be a perfect system."
"so?"
"So I think the Fayya people are a bunch of assholes even more."
Levi Sherman shrugged slightly and continued to stare at Yang Ming and Edwang.
He said, "It's my first time meeting them, and I have a pretty good impression of them. How about I go to the advanced training base and be a teacher? That way I can continue to communicate with them."
Li said calmly: "Do you know how many patches I have to apply to this old system just for a setting you made up?"
"You can do it, Li, you are the most amazing woman in the galaxy!"
"snort!"
Li turned around and walked to the corner.
"You make your own settings. I can only try to improve them as much as possible for you. I must remind you that Lu's overall strength is not inferior to mine, and Yang Ming's perception is also extremely sharp."
Levi Hillman raised his eyebrows.
Women love to hear this.
…
Dark Star, a dark city affiliated to a certain production base.
The virtual image of Lu was walking quietly outside an amusement park.
In the playground, a group of children with mechanical thinking bodies from Dark City are having fun.
Sunny is here.
She was smiling happily, holding a water gun in her hand, and started a fierce gun fight with several little boys. Qing's 'guardian' was not far away, chatting about family matters with several children's parents.
This is the living environment that Qing wants.
Lu looked at it carefully for a while, then shook his head.
Her figure disappeared straight away, and when she reappeared, she was already in the corner of her own thinking space.
It was as if Lu had opened a door and entered an area where the time flow rate was the same as that of the City of Light. From the outside, Molly seemed to be twitching rapidly, but from the inside, she had completely returned to normal.
Molly was eating a bag of cookies happily.
"How's it going? Any gains?"
"Alas, no," Lu slumped in the chair and sighed softly, "Qing's mind is cleaner than a beach. She is just a carefree little girl. She doesn't know much information about Li and Levi."
Molly thought for a moment and said, "What if we use Qing as a bargaining chip to threaten them?"
"That's a story for later."
Lu frowned and said:
“I just can’t understand why Levi didn’t take any action at all.”
Molly smiled and said, "If he attacks, we will run. It is impossible for him to eliminate all the bases we set up outside the human activity area. Sooner or later, we will become the third disaster and wipe them out. So why does he attack?"
"What you said makes sense, but this doesn't really fit Levi's character. He's a hegemon."
"The overlord from tens of thousands of years ago might have changed a lot by now," Molly shook her head, "You just think the enemy is too strong."
"It's not that they are too strong, but that we must give Levi and Li enough respect."
Lu stretched out his arms and said:
"Forget it, let's wait for them to make their move. We have the initiative in terms of time now anyway.
“It’s good news that Levi reuses Daphne.”
"Daphne is too cunning. She's not a good partner."
"But the boss likes her body, what can I do?" Lu shook his head, "We should stay out of the business of these organisms."
Molly suddenly said, "Eh? There are a few unfamiliar faces in this advanced training base... It seems like it's a periodic change of instructors."
Luduo turned on two projection screens, glanced at the middle-aged men and women who had just got off the hovercraft, and shook his head slightly.
"I'll go try to find any trace of Levi."
"Yeah, come on! Number Two, you're the best!"
Molly made a cheering gesture.
Lu closed his eyes and began to follow the route opened up by Yang Ming, continuing to invade the underlying data ocean of the City of Light.
She could only act quietly, so her efficiency was very slow, but doing something was better than just waiting here.
However, in the picture on the projection screen...
The 'mentor' with short to medium-length hair and a typical Sherman man's face looked at the list of outstanding students with a smile.
Daru first;
Kabuba is second;
“Excellent young man.”
Professor Badoli Levy Sherman gave a pertinent evaluation.
