Chapter 69

After all, Dahei had seen so many high-level matters while following B47995, and unlike Zhuo Chuan, he still had all his previous memories, so naturally, his analysis was closer to the truth.

His words moved the old friends of Old Xu present, who felt both touched and ashamed. They were all people of the new world, and their intelligence wasn't that low. Dahei's words struck a chord in their hearts; no one opposed progress, and even if more pressure was added, they were willing to bear it. However, such a life-or-death choice was hard for anyone to accept immediately.

The decision was made, and after setting the time for the next gathering, the meeting quickly dispersed. Everyone still had some soul crystals saved up, and after the meeting, they each found more people to make up the numbers, as the cost of a succubus was too high.

Ross did not leave immediately. The last words Dahei said at the meeting touched him, making him realize that not all higher-ups were so cold and heartless, using only power to oppress the lower ranks. There were always some brighter forces among humans.

He apologized to Zhuo Chuan face-to-face.

"Mr. Zhuo, I was a bit too emotional during the meeting," he said with sincere eyes.

Zhuo Chuan naturally wouldn't continue to hold a grudge, especially considering Old Xu's face; a real conflict was impossible.

"It's fine. This time it was indeed too intense, and it's hard for reserve citizens to accept it."

"No, my situation is a bit special," Ross hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I have a partner who is over two hundred years older than me. A few decades ago, when she was over two hundred years old, her soul became increasingly aged, and the hope of breaking through grew smaller. Due to some events, her soul was severely damaged, and her remaining lifespan was limited. To pass the citizen exam, she didn't have enough soul crystals. If she did, she would have used them to repair her soul. She chose to sign a free agreement with the succubus, like many other reserve citizens in her situation, and entered the training ground..."

He choked up and couldn't continue.

Zhuo Chuan's current computational power could guess the outcome. If it was just death, the other party wouldn't be so preoccupied. After such a long time, even if the feelings were strong, they wouldn't be so agitated. Modern people are like this too; when they mention past loved ones, they aren't always sad.

She must have become a slave to the succubus.

"Rest assured, I will often enter the succubus training ground. If possible, I will propose an exchange to the succubus," Zhuo Chuan believed that the succubus could definitely make such a deal, given that it had both paid and free options, showing how flexible it was.

"Thank you," Ross was about to kneel, but Zhuo Chuan immediately held him up.

"No need to thank me. I will help you because you are Old Xu's friend. The people Old Xu associates with, I believe, are sincere to some extent." As Zhuo Chuan spoke, he thought of He Qiang, who, at a critical moment, chose to endure punishment to send back a message, repaying his friendship with Old Xu. This showed that although Old Xu wasn't very smart, his judgment of people was quite accurate.

Moreover, the fact that Ross could speak such passionate words also indicated that he wasn't a scheming person. Such a person was best suited to be a subordinate or partner. As long as they were sincere and performed well, they generally wouldn't be a backstabber.

"Okay," Ross nodded forcefully. No one could understand his current agitation. The partner who was over two hundred years older held a very important place in his heart. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't become a citizen to save her. With the new proposal, his hopes were greatly diminished. How could he control his emotions and remain rational?

He couldn't ask any friend for help because he knew no one had the confidence to do it.

But now Zhuo Chuan had taken the initiative to agree, and he made a silent decision in his heart.

Zhuo Chuan could see Ross's performance. With a future promise, he had gained another potential ally in the new world, and this decision was not a loss.

"Alright, old Luo, don't be so agitated. I just learned about your situation. You know Zhuo's abilities; even E-level citizens are no match for him. Your wish will certainly be fulfilled, and this proposal won't affect us. We can continue moving forward," Old Xu was now completely at ease. Since Zhuo Chuan won the duel, he had complete trust in him, to the point of being blind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately called Zhuo Chuan when he heard the urgent news.

"Yes, we will be fine, but what about others? Ah, forget it, I'm being a bit sentimental like an ancient person," Ross smiled bitterly, shook his head. Although the people in the underground reserve society got along well, they still had their own social circles, with varying degrees of closeness. Unless everyone was a robot, as long as they were human, they had emotions and varying degrees of closeness, even without blood ties.

Zhuo Chuan smiled bitterly as well. He smiled bitterly because he was unjustly implicated, and this time, the party involved had no intention of targeting him.

After returning home, Zhuo Chuan verbally praised Dahei, making Dahei quite pleased.

Originally, Zhuo Chuan wanted to let Dahei play while he returned to the modern world to handle some matters. But then he thought of something.

"Dahei, you said that when I rest, my soul disappears, and only three attributes with a value of 1 remain to manage my body. Do you think it's possible for this soul fragment to have the same intelligence as you? After all, if my soul disappears for too long, it won't be good for my body."

"Of course, it's possible. But I don't know how. Wait until you have some savings and go to Paradise City to find the God of Wisdom who created me. It definitely has a way and will be willing to cooperate with you again. After all, the S-level extraterrestrial invader you killed and gave to it helped it successfully advance. It was dormant for a hundred years in Paradise City and is now active again," Dahei said to himself, then skipped to the living room to play on the computer.

"Oh, if the master had advanced to a citizen earlier, I wouldn't have to play these old games," Dahei said while tapping the keyboard, opening an old flight game.

Zhuo Chuan rolled his eyes. He had an idea to have Dahei find Xie Huitian. The two trillion underground society currency from the recent duel broadcast had officially been credited to his account. He wanted Dahei to discuss with Xie Huitian how to use it and get soul crystals to pay off the debt as soon as possible.

But seeing Dahei's attitude, he knew that Dahei was the type of lazy employee who was extremely capable when given a real task but wouldn't do trivial tasks without wasting time.

Zhuo Chuan had to take twenty minutes to transfer the money to Xie Huitian, leaving a message, before returning to the modern world. Both had a verbal agreement, and their trust was sufficient.

Of course, this was only possible in the new world, where the scale of production was enormous, with a population in the trillions. Trillions of currency, though seemingly vast, could still be transferred casually. In the modern world, such an amount would be impossible to handle in cash, and even if it appeared, a single transfer would cause a huge economic fluctuation.
