"Gold is not a currency by nature, but the currency is gold by nature." The scarcity of the known planets and 'worlds' made this famous saying about the value of gold, which was said by one of the greatest philosophers in Europe in the 17th century, Kahlich Matthysse, was still applicable.
It was precisely because of the high value of gold that no businessman could resist its temptation that even though Charlie was skeptical, when he heard Zhang Lisheng insisting on using the gold mine in the Shrimp World No. 2 to pay off the LS Group's debt, his long-depressed mood immediately relaxed.
Then, he heard another unexpected good news.
"Charlie, you look much older than before. Looks like people's energy will really decline after they pass 50." Zhang Lisheng looked at the skyscrapers sitting on the desert outside the window and casually took out a few marble-sized yellow balls from his pocket. "Do you remember when I said that the future will give you eternal youth and a long life?
The 'future' I mentioned at that time is the 'present.' During this period of time, contact Edward and find a Hollywood makeup artist to learn how to make your face look old. Then, we'll go to a place where the government can't monitor and pour the supernatural power contained in these Gold Cores into your bodies.
Oh, speaking of the Atlanteans, why can't I see these annoying little light people in the sky of the New Washington A now? "
"The federal government has banned the Atlanteans from entering and leaving Noah freely on the grounds of material scarcity, boss …" Charlie's body stiffened as he stared at the little yellow ball between the fingers of the black-haired young man without blinking in fascination. After a long silence, he whispered in a slightly trembling voice, "C-Can I see these mysterious energy balls, boss?"
"Of course, Charlie. One of them is already yours. Take it well, this is a young life of at least 800 years." Zhang Lisheng handed the Gold Core to the agent. "Also, since the previous' future 'has become the' present, 'then I'll promise you a new future.
I've already conquered the largest continent of the Shrimp World No. 2 and ordered the organization of hundreds of millions of expeditionary forces. I believe that the entire world will fall into my hands soon.
Compared to Noah, it's a prosperous world with billions of people. It's also my real foundation. In the future, I'll divide a parish there and give you the power to manage hundreds of millions of people that's larger than the federation. "
"Oh, boss, a-are you really a great god? I knew it. I've thought of this a long time ago. Compared to your generosity and greatness, the power and grace of God are nothing. Yes, nothing …" Charlie could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart as he spoke incoherently.
"Since I'm so generous and great, shouldn't you repay me with better work?" Zhang Lisheng said with a smile. "For example, after LS gets out of its operating predicament, you can secretly set up a sect and share my generosity and greatness with the new immigrants in the Noah World."
"Why do we have to keep it a secret, boss? This is the land of the United States. It's the people's freedom to believe in whatever religion they want …"
"Charlie, if there's no supernatural being standing behind that religion, it's indeed the people's freedom to believe in whatever religion they want." Zhang Lisheng interrupted the agent's words with a farsighted expression. "The federal states on Earth are already so chaotic that they can't be managed, but the government will definitely maintain the 'purity' of the new Noah World's oasis city to a certain extent.
Trust my judgment. Things are not as simple as you think. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to instill the Gold Core's power into all of you. I can just bestow you with divine power directly and turn you into priests. "
"Yes, boss! Everything will be carried out according to your instructions.
Don't worry, as long as we have money and a job, it's very easy to develop believers among the new immigrants who have become destitute.
Well, let's just set foot in the cotton textile planting and processing industry. This is currently the most labor-intensive industry, and it's also inconspicuous.
As for hiding the sect, I can discuss with Edward and see if we can find an excuse to sign a contract in the early stage of missionary work to temporarily control the workers. There'll be a way! "Charlie pondered for a while and came up with an idea based on Zhang Lisheng's reminder.
"According to our Chinese description, this means that we have our own specialization," Zhang Lisheng nodded in admiration. Zhang Lisheng nodded in admiration. "I knew that as long as the federal still maintains the basic order, an outstanding capitalist coupled with a good lawyer can solve all of my problems. However, instead of building a cotton plantation, why don't we build a comprehensive farm? I have some experiments to do.
Well, there's no need to rush these things. We can take our time. Right now, the top priority is to let my sister, Michelle Lavin, who has neither father nor mother, immigrate to the Noah World as soon as possible. I don't want anything to happen to her to make my mother sad. "
"It's just a small matter, boss. The reason why the federal government restricts immigration is because they're afraid that a large number of immigrants will pour in and cause unemployment, leading to the collapse of the entire social system.
Even though the LS Group is in financial difficulties, it still maintains the 'enterprise A credit rating' of the Washington and California state governments. As long as there's a long-term employment contract of more than five years, we can legally introduce new immigrants.
After all, the right of every US citizen to walk and migrate freely on the federal land is the right of every US citizen, "Charlie said respectfully.
"The right of every US citizen to walk and migrate freely on the federal land is the right of every US citizen? What a funny sentence …" Zhang Lisheng's mind flashed with the numb and crazy faces that were tortured in the slums of Feren City. He muttered to himself sarcastically and then fell into a moment of silence before suddenly asking, "Did Maddie really not come to Noah?"
"Yes, boss. Miss Maddie has always been unwilling to leave New York. After the gods of the Shrimp World No. 1 destroyed all the orbiting satellites on Earth, we lost contact with her.
After the situation stabilized, I've sent people to venture back to New York three times to look for her, but the news I collected was not very good … "Charlie said cautiously.
"Is she dead?" The young man closed his eyes and bowed his head silently for a long time before asking again.
"She's missing. She's inexplicably disappeared without a trace. There's a very absurd rumor that she's been captured by a goddess of the Shrimp World No. 1."
"Captured by a god? Which god would capture a mortal from the supernatural realm …" Zhang Lisheng leaned his back against the backrest and muttered to himself in a low voice. Falling into contemplation, he did not make a sound for the entire day.
In the days that followed, the matters were solved one by one. First, Michelle successfully migrated to the Noah World.
Then, Charlie and Edward were given supernatural powers by Zhang Lisheng in the desert.
After several rounds of intense negotiations, the creditors and the LS board of directors successfully reached a package plan of repayment of the loan with gold.
Finally, the LS farm, which had been invested 20 million dollars in advance, was born on a small oasis with an area of less than 200 acres that was about to be completely covered by the desert 150 kilometers north of New Washington A …
Unknowingly, it was already early spring. It had been more than a month since Zhang Lisheng came to the Noah World. From a god who ruled billions of believers and was decisive in killing, to an ordinary member of the human society, the Wizard Li god had unknowingly adapted to the change of role.
Early in the morning, in an early immigrant community called Sandstorm Lake in New Washington A, Zhang Lisheng bathed in the warm sunshine in a corner of a two-story independent wooden house that had been isolated into a kitchen and dining room. Leisurely drinking iced Coke, he stuffed pieces of chopped beef giblets into his mouth.
After finishing the plate, he rubbed his belly and said with a bright smile to a slim figure in a gray formal dress who was still busy in front of the stove, "Oh, Mom, these pieces of meat are really delicious.
I've long felt that the mainstream US people should change their diet structure. Because of prejudice and too many small thorns, it's purely a waste to drive animal internal organs and most of the freshwater fish off the dining table. "
"You eat too fast, baby. It's not good for your health. How many times have I told you not to drink iced Coke in the morning?
On top of that, don't mention such unappetizing words like 'animal' at the dining table in the future. It's too rude. " Lili took out a large piece of freshly baked cake from the oven. After cutting half of it, she cut a corner and brought it to her son. "After you finish this small cake, send the remaining big one to the few gentlemen who are temporarily staying on the lawn."
"Oh, the gentlemen who are temporarily staying on the lawn? Mom, you're really tactful.
Unfortunately, a piece of cake can't solve the problem of these lucky people who would rather wander around the city and sleep outside other people's houses than find a good job. " Zhang Lisheng turned his head to look through the window at the three to four ragged homeless men sleeping on the lawn outside the house. He picked up the cake with a fork and ate it while shrugging.
"Aha! My capitalist brother is at it again, condemning the lazy labouring classes.
Every time I hear such words, I'm glad that I'm a patrolman who protects the safety of my mission. Even though I'm poor, I'm proud to rely on my own hard work to live a happy life. "When the second son of the Lavin family heard the young man's complaint, he said in a strange tone by the side.
This young man who used to be flashy and greedy for pleasure had now matured and found his own position in life after being tempered by life. With his tall and strong physique, he became a policeman like his father but his optimistic and humorous character did not change much. After meeting Zhang Lisheng, whom he had not seen for a long time, he had already regained his previous friendly and teasing attitude after spending only a few days with him.
"Oh, Randy, your job is actually to be a patrolman? I thought you're a clown in a circus where you dress up as a policeman every day with a red nose and post posters on the road …" In front of his family, especially his mother, Zhang Lisheng's high and mighty mentality of dominating everything naturally disappeared without a trace. With a curl of his lips, he retorted.
"Alright, both of you, shut up and eat properly.
Randy, you've just become an official police officer so you must cheer up when you're patrolling and learn more from your partner.
I've brought you two large stewed steaks. They're delicious even when they're cold. Remember to treat your partner to lunch at noon and get along well with him. Do you understand? Remember that you're a newcomer so you must be humble, understand? "Lili interrupted the two children's quarrel.
"I'm full now. Don't worry, Aunt Lili. Daddy is a police officer so how can I not understand what a new police officer should do?" Randy wiped his mouth and stood up.
Lili nodded kindly and handed a lunch box with tin foil inside to her stepson. Then, she turned to look at her son and asked, "Baby, what are your plans today? If you have nothing to do, why don't you go and participate in community labor …"
"Oh, I really hope to serve the community, mom," Zhang Lisheng hurriedly said insincerely. "Unfortunately, I have something important to do today. LS Ranch wants to choose the cotton seeds to plant so I must be present."
