“Who says it isn’t?”

Ai Lei said, “The battlefields in the past were all around Dragon City, or even inside Dragon City. Even if the crystal ore vein and the monster breeding grounds were taken down by the mega corporations, the Supernatural Tower and the Survival Committee could more or less exercise some management and supervision rights.

“But the Other World is so large. What if the mega corporations were to rely entirely on their own strength and travel thousands of kilometers away to a certain land with abundant spirit energy, where peerless experts could tear the earth apart, and confer titles on them? How would the Supernatural Tower and Survival Committee, which were located in Dragon City and beyond their reach, be able to exert their influence?

“When the time comes, they’ll take the initiative and hand over some crystals and materials to Dragon City if they’re in a good mood. But, if they’re in a bad mood and refuse to give you even half a copper coin, what can you do?

“Not only that, there are even greater risks involved!”

“Oh?”

Meng Chao was quite interested. “What other risks are there?”

“Bonds and stocks!”

Ai Lei said, “The nine mega corporations claim that they want to win the war of conquering the orcs with their own strength. The problem is that after decades of war with them and the recent development in Dragon City, the mega corporations don’t have any surplus food. The pockets of the peerless experts are also empty. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have to stock up on gene reagents to earn money.

“The question is, if the mega corporations themselves are so short of money, how are they going to launch a colonization war?

“The answer is, of course, to borrow money. Whether they issue additional bonds or stocks, they are essentially borrowing money from all the citizens of Dragon City and using the borrowed money to fight a war.

“There are only two outcomes in a war. Either you win or you lose.

“Winning is what I said just now. The Super Enterprises are constantly expanding. They will be able to split the land and confer titles to their officials, but they will not be able to get rid of their tail. Whether or not they return the money depends on their mood.

“Losing, not to mention that the nine super enterprises are all doomed, and they will drag the entire financial market of Dragon City and even the entire dragon city down with them!”

“That makes sense.”

Meng Chao muttered, “Since the Super Enterprises and even the entire dragon city are so short on funds, they should not have launched a colonization war in such a hurry!”

“You are wrong. The more short on funds, the more they need to launch a colonization war as soon as possible.”

Ai lei said, “The essence of business is to tell stories. Now that the monsters have been mostly harvested and the old stories have been told, how can there be any new stories if we don’t start a new war as soon as possible?”?

“If we don’t tell new stories and get new funds to fill in the old holes, the nine super enterprises will still be doomed!”

“I understand. That means that once the ‘North Advancement Plan’is approved, the nine super enterprises will be able to kidnap the entire dragon city onto their war chariots. If they win, they will take most of the war dividends. If they lose, the risk will be shared by all the citizens of Dragon City.”

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and sized ai lei up for a while. “You sure know how to beat around the Bush!”

“There’s no other way. In our line of work, we have to spend all day thinking about people and things.”

Ai lei smiled and said, “If we think about it, we will naturally understand.”

“Then which side are you on?”

Meng Chao asked again, “Are you on the side of the Azure Alliance, supporting the ‘National Training Act’, or are you on the side of the nine Super Enterprises, supporting the ‘North Advancement Plan’?”

“About that…”

Ai Lei said, “I’m also from a humble background, and I don’t have a good father who is in the management level of the nine supercorporations. I also don’t have a way to obtain an endless supply of genetic medicine. Of course, I’m clearly on the side of the Azure Alliance, on the side of the National Training Act!

“Speaking of which, many of the contents of the north advancement plan are not unreasonable. The first to strike is the strongest, and the second to strike is to suffer. Many times, wars are fought because of the time difference. Taking advantage of the fact that the Aborigines from other worlds don’t understand Earth’s technology, they solve the problem completely in a flash.

“Therefore, if the nine Super Enterprises bid high enough, it’s not like I can’t stand on their side.

“Also, I’ve bought the stocks of several Super Enterprises, and even bought a few war bonds!

“No, after today’s ruckus, the market will open tomorrow, and the whole market will definitely be in a terrible state. I have to dump all of them early in the morning.

“But, that’s not right. I’m currently in a state of suspended animation. No one knows that I’m still alive and that I’ve returned to Dragon City. Even when I go out for dinner, I have to disguise myself. How can I personally operate my stock account?”?

“And my war bonds are far from the redemption date.”.

“It’s over. It’s over now. That’s all my pension money!”

Ai Lei had been watching the fire from a distance.

Suddenly, she realized that the city gate was on fire.

Her expression immediately fell.

When she “Accidentally”saw Meng Chao, Hope suddenly shone in the depths of her eyes. It was as if a drowning man had grabbed onto a life-saving straw and had come back to life. “Fortunately, I’ve already clung onto Senior’s thigh.

“Now, whether it’s the Azure Alliance or the Super Corporation, I’m not on either side. I’m firmly on senior’s side. If senior wants me to bite someone, that’s not right. I’ll support whoever senior wants me to support!”

“Is that so?”

Meng Chao asked, “Why?”

“Do you even need to say that?”

Ai lei said, “Because whichever side senior stands on can become the final winner. Then, of course, I’ll choose to stand on the winner’s side!”

“I didn’t expect –”

Meng Chao said, “You have so much confidence in me.”

“Of course.”

Ai lei said, “Right now, the ‘National Training Act’and the ‘North Advancement Plan’are in a deadlock. They have been fighting in the Survival Committee for a long time, but no one has managed to get more than two-thirds of the votes.

“This is enough to prove that the strength of the Azure Alliance and the Super Corporation is about the same. Even if one side is slightly better, they still don’t have the strength to crush the other side.

“That is like a shaky balance that is still undecided. At this time, no matter which side puts another heavy weight on it, it is enough to completely establish the victory.”.

“As a godly state expert, senior, you are not only a heavy weight, but also a heavy weight. If you decide the outcome, who can resist it?”

“I’ve never said that I’m a godly state expert.”

Meng Chao said, “Besides, so what if I’m a godly state expert? There are at least two godly state experts in Dragon City.”

“There are indeed a lot of godly state experts in Dragon City, but most of them are in their 70s and 80s. They are covered in wounds like the sun setting on the west mountain. No matter how fierce the afterglow is, it can’t shine on this city for too long.”

Ai lei rested her chin on her hands and stared at Meng Chao as she spoke boldly, “However, a young godly state expert like senior is absolutely unique. When the older generation of godly state experts fall one after another, who else in Dragon City can compete with senior?”

The corner of Meng Chao’s mouth twitched.

“Then, which side do you think I should stand on? The Azure Alliance, or the Super Enterprise, the ‘National Training Act’, or the ‘North Advancement Plan’?”

He stared at AI lei meaningfully.

“About that…”

Ai Lei quickly racked her brain and said, “According to what most people think, senior will definitely be on the side of the Super Corporation and the North Advancement Plan.”

Meng Chao asked, “Why?”

“Because senior himself is a peerless expert!”

Ai lei said, “Don’t you want to go to the depths of the other world and create your own foundation, split the land and become a marquis, become a king and become an emperor yourself, or even become the supreme god of the natives of the other world?”

Meng Chao frowned slightly. “Should I want to? Or should I say that there are godly state experts who wish to become an emperor or even… the supreme god of the Aborigines from Another World?”

“Logically speaking, there must be someone who wants to do so, right?”

Ai lei shrugged, “It’s not easy for you to cultivate to the godly state, but you still have to be an ordinary citizen of Dragon City. You are bound by the laws, the transcendental tower, and the survival committee. You also have to work hard to contribute to Dragon City and accept the supervision of the citizens. How can this be as easy as me conquering a territory, becoming an emperor, or even becoming the supreme god of the Aborigines from another world?

“Even if the godly state experts don’t want to — after all, most of them are in their 70s and 80s. They were born on Earth and fought for Dragon City for most of their lives. They have feelings for Dragon City and the Earth’s civilization.

“But the children of the godly state experts and those guys who rely on the godly state experts to make a living must all want to be the crown prince, the Minister of the Dragon, and the rise of all the chickens and dogs, right?”

“It seems to make a lot of sense.”

Meng Chao said, “Then why did you say that this is the thought of an ‘ordinary person’?”

“Because I’ve long seen that senior is definitely not an ordinary person. His thought will certainly not be so vulgar!”

Ai lei said, “Senior, it’s obvious at a glance that you are a great hero. You serve the country and the people, and you have broken away from low-level interests. Your personality is both pure and noble, noble and Majestic. You are the kind of person who is willing to fight for the civilization of Dragon City for the rest of your life.

“If it were not for the support of such a powerful spiritual energy, senior would not have such terrifying strength at such a young age.

“Therefore, senior, you don’t have to test me anymore. I will definitely be on the same side as you. Even if you are willing to contribute your full strength to the thousands of citizens of Dragon City, I will definitely follow you to the end. I believe that you and the thousands of citizens of Dragon City will not mistreat me!”
