The butler came to his bedroom, and immediately, one of his attendants came over and said, "We found out that Stenson didn't die at all, and the corpse that day wasn't Stenson's."
The butler closed the stone door and said, "I know."
The attendant frowned. "Then why didn't you expose it?"
The butler stared straight at the attendant and waved at him. "Come over, I will tell you."
The attendant didn't have his guard up, but the butler grabbed his head and twisted it hard!
Crack!
The attendant directly fell to the ground, dead.
"You are asking too much." The butler disdainfully took out a genetic chemical from the kitchen and sprinkled it on the corpse. Not long after, the corpse melted into a puddle of chemical water.
"Come, clean this place up," the butler said to the maid outside, and then he turned around and went back to his bedroom to sleep.
– America –
Inside the Stanson Mansion, the sky was turning bright. After Xu Cheng slightly opened his eyes, his forehead was covered in sweat. He was almost at the end of the intermediate chapter of Lost Fist, and other than the constant expansion of his internal energy, Xu Cheng always felt like something was missing.
It was that feeling of wanting more. He took out the intermediate chapter of Lost Fist from his sleeve and muttered, "It's a pity that I didn't get the third chapter. The hardest part of Lost Fist isn't the technique, but the 36 moves of the routine. Many people can't even understand it, and the technique is even more difficult to understand. No wonder so many people can't learn it, talent is too important."
"After I master the technique, it will be time for me to settle the score with you." Xu Cheng looked at the horizon, still unable to forget the humiliation that man gave him that day!
Stenson climbed to the balcony of the mansion, quietly walked over, and put down the breakfast on the side.
He didn't seem to be planning to go downstairs.
Xu Cheng asked without looking back, "What's up?"
Stenson wanted to say something but hesitated. "Boss, I have a question I want to ask you. If it's not convenient, you don't have to answer."
Xu Cheng: "Go ahead."
Stenson: "I don't understand. You gave the Datura technology to the country, but you didn't get any benefits for yourself. Why? In this world, there's no one who doesn't want to do something for themselves. This time, a lot of people have profited, including the four countries, but only you didn't earn anything. "
"I did it for myself." Xu Cheng said, "There are some things that must be handed over and shared equally. Why did I choose Hua and America? It's because either of these two countries can protect me. If I give the technology to Hua, America won't tolerate me. But if I give the technology to America, all my secrets are on Hua's side, and my military instincts won't allow me to disregard the interests of my country. The reason why I chose America is just to ensure that I have another path of retreat. After experiencing so much, I've already gotten over it. There are a lot of things that don't matter if it's yours or not. It might seem like you don't have it, but you actually have everything!"
"I don't understand." Stenson didn't understand.
Xu Cheng smiled. "You will understand in the future. I can only say that my pursuit of cultivation isn't about these things. Money, fame, power, these things are not essential to me. It's like when the guest is gone, but the totem is still in my heart. I will always want to reach that step."
"Boss, I'm getting more and more confused by what you're saying." Stenson bitterly smiled. "What step is that step?"
"It's when that hand really covers the Earth. Do you still remember the interpretation of the guest totem?"
Stenson nodded. "Adjudication and supervision."
"That's right." Xu Cheng said, "It doesn't mean that you should control the Earth and have its rights, nor does it mean that you should take it for yourself. It's just a kind of balance and supervision. When that hand wants it, it just needs to grasp it tightly with its five fingers, and it can have the entire world. Why would it care about the other flashy things?"
After that, Xu Cheng walked past Stenson.
Stenson still didn't understand. He was thinking hard by himself, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
He caught up with Xu Cheng and went downstairs together, asking, "Boss, you said so much, but you still didn't get anything. To be honest, you gave Europe to Haber. Although it weakened Rockefeller and Morgan, it also strengthened them in a disguised way, and you gave the United States to me, who's a sociopath! But you don't have anything. Let me give you an example. Take Old Ross for example. Although he has given Rockefeller and Morgan such big wings, these two families don't dare to fly. That's because Old Ross has planted flags to restrain these two families. Everything has its vanquisher. But you don't have this kind of backup plan. I feel that you're more like you don't intend to let everyone else do the next round after you've divided the cake.
"You're right." Xu Cheng smiled and said, "I never wanted to restrain or control anyone, including you."
Stenson: "That's why I said I don't understand what you're thinking."
"Then I'll explain it to you in layman terms." Xu Cheng said, "Let's say you're a game developer. Whether it's money, status, or anything else that the players get in the game, would you care? No, because the game was developed by you. Whatever they get, it's more or less the same as the virtual items you made. Do you think you would care? You just need to be responsible for regular maintenance and not let the balance of the game be broken. So, since Morgan and Rockefeller exist, and since Old Ross exists, why do you want to get rid of them and add to the world's financial crisis? Since Old Ross is gone, someone has to replace him. This is what a game developer calls regular maintenance. Do you understand? "
Stenson's mouth opened. He seemed to have understood something, and as he thought about it, all the hairs on his body stood up.
Xu Cheng made a shushing gesture. "Seeing that you have been following me for so long, I will allow you to know this, but don't talk nonsense, because in this world, no one is irreplaceable. Morgan contributes to the stability of the United States, but it doesn't mean that the Bush Family can't replace them. Do you understand what I mean?"
Stenson nodded fiercely.
He understood what Xu Cheng meant.
Power, status, money, and whatnot, Xu Cheng wouldn't fight with them. What they should get, he would give it to them, and they didn't need to be controlled by Xu Cheng. But there was one thing, and that was that everything had to be done according to the rules.
If someone tampered with the rules of the game and made the game unstable, then sorry, you're not irreplaceable. There will always be someone to replace you to stabilize the balance of the game.
Xu Cheng saw Stenson in a daze and said, "Including me, I'm not irreplaceable, because before the game officially launches, there will always be other developers to replace me!"
He was referring to the Duke!
(Let's talk about the update issue. This book is almost at the end. After the Duke chapter ends, allow me to slow down a bit, just in case something goes wrong. After the Duke chapter ends, there will be an epilogue requested by some readers. It will be about Xu Cheng's daughters and other characters to fill in some holes.)
(End of this chapter)
