Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter 1076

[1076. Nonsense (3)]

He said solemnly, “Maybe you should really see with your own eyes the mother whose son was swallowed by a monster, and the wanderer whose home was destroyed by the unknown darkness, and tell them that they should rejoice in their misfortune, because this allows fallen humans to be saved. , and then see how they will answer you.”

Jay trembled after hearing this, and suddenly felt that Su Zhe was a little scary.

“Well said, Mr. Scholar.” Dad sat firmly in the big armchair, patting his belly and interjected, “Boy Jay, it’s better if you don’t hold back your words.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.” Jay Lun clasped his hands nervously and glanced at his father in surprise. As he lowered his head, he noticed that Stella was quietly winking at him.

“Master Jaylen has no other intention. He just wants to tell the two adults the opinions of many people in the city. In fact, he also has a lot of concerns about this, right?”

Cestella spoke at this time. She faced her father with her back to him. Looking at Su Zhe, he bent down slightly, his chest swaying, and his round thighs almost touching his father’s round belly.

The smile on the pretty girl’s face actually made her father feel a little dazed.

“That’s right, it’s just that I’ve been under a lot of pressure recently and have a lot of worries. As you know, there are also various rumors in the society. I want to tell the manager their opinions, and there are some things before me. I just want to help out. Strength…”

Jay said while using the donkey to get off the slope. He realized that he was going too far, and he really shouldn’t offend these real “people in power.”

“Okay, okay…I know.”

Dad leaned back and looked at Jay to smooth things over, “But those opinions are too extreme, and such arguments will never end. Now you understand Isn’t it? This is no longer the past era, and this is not a mining city. You, the Turner family, need to learn more. But generally speaking, the most complex problems always have the simplest solutions.”

“Well. …Solution?”

Jaylen was slightly startled, not knowing what his father was going to say.

The father chuckled, his face immediately dropped, and he said with a smile on his face, “Listen up, you can take care of some things that should be taken care of, but it’s best not to interfere with things that shouldn’t be taken care of. Do you understand? Don’t force me to use the simplest method. That kind of plan, little guy.”

Dad’s eyes kept rolling, and he seemed to mean something when he said this.

Jay was not a fool. He was silent for half a second and immediately woke up.

“Yes, yes, the manager is so right. I’m not used to hiding my thoughts… Oh, you see, it’s all my fault for this mouth.” After saying that, he bowed deeply to Su Zhe and said, ” I’m really sorry, please forgive me. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Su Zhe actually didn’t pay much attention to this kind of thing. He just came here to relax.

He will be back in the laboratory soon. After all, there are at least a dozen big projects on hand waiting for him to manage, and a bunch of scholars are waiting for him to point the direction. Jay’s pretentiousness made him feel awkward.

“I’m not an adult, but this steward is real.”

“Well, I don’t dare to be called a steward. I have to add the word ‘generation’ in front of it.”

After speaking, the father smiled and took out a big bottle from his side. He took off the lids, took out three crystal clear goblets from under the table, poured red liquid into them, and handed one cup to Jay and Su Zhe.

“This is -“

Jaylen and Su Zhe both reached out and took it, looking at their father with slightly strange eyes.

“It’s good wine.”

He laughed and said, “This bullshit emperor can’t fight, but he really knows how to enjoy it. His life has not been in vain for so many years. There is a large wine cellar under the castle, which contains tens of thousands of barrels of wine. Look, He couldn’t bear it on his own, so he left it all to us.”

“Oh -“

Dad saw the two men’s eyes showing surprise, but neither of them drank. He immediately picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the two of them. The fat on his face kept trembling, “Don’t worry, I have tried it. This wine is very good!”.

After saying that, he raised his head and drank the whole glass of wine in one go.

After finishing the drink, he smacked his lips, licked his upper lip, glanced at Jay and continued, “As long as you keep your mouth shut, everyone will treat you as a harmless lunatic at most. If you really want to do something, , why not talk to our chief scholar. Try it, this wine is really good, don’t waste it.”

Seeing this, Jay Chong immediately understood, clinked glasses with Su Zhe and said, “Yeah, I almost forgot. What about this? Come on, cheers!”

Su Zhe was no longer polite, and they both took a big sip. On top of the alcohol, everyone was in high spirits.

I have to say that my father is a knowledgeable guy after all, and maybe he has a bit of social angst in his personality.

This is reflected in the vast difference between the way he and Joyner manage the floating city.

He knows that no matter how society and status change, it is necessary to win over some people, because these people can create greater value while maintaining the stability of the social structure. He also knew how to get along with everyone, so he often held cocktail parties in the castle to meet people from all walks of life.

After all, times have changed. In the past, he was a brutal gang leader, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, licking blood on the tip of a knife, and counting one day at a time.

Life seems different now, but some things never change. Dad had killed many people before when he was king of the West, and he knew that look.

Recently, he saw something the same as before in everyone’s eyes.

That is – fear.

——The fear deep in the heart, the fear spreads among people, and it seems to have a tendency to deepen.

Fear is an inexplicable and morbid emotion that can creep into everyone’s soul if they are not careful.

Human ancestors often had this primitive emotion millions of years ago: it was the urge to escape when faced with the invisible darkness, known and unknown threats, and knowing that they were unable to resist. .

A heart of fear that disappears when it is ravaging the weak, but appears when faced with a powerful existence that is difficult to match.

From the perspective of biological self-protection, this is instinct and easy to understand.

He gradually came to understand that now that monsters are in power and life is at stake, the first priority for people who have survived from death threats is their own safety.

The safety foundation of the entire floating city society is public security. Except for those “militant factions” who clamor to fight back all day long, the rest have to rely on those who are truly capable and influential to maintain the stability of the entire social system, such as those old families.

Although my father’s behavior may seem exaggerated and not pragmatic on the surface, he has his own set of logic. He knew it better than anyone else, because only in this relaxed environment could he hear some truth.

“Hiccup – just in time, both of you are here, so let’s just talk about it.”
