I am the one running the game

Chapter 692: In the Imperial City, I, a country boy, have indeed seen little
After Lu Xingshi dealt with the experimental subjects in his hands, he prepared to go to the imperial city to capture the mother body of the source of corruption and find the real body of the alien demon.

As for the affairs of the Federation, Lu Xingshi designated several congressmen as acting presidents. In fact, it has no impact on the Federation whether to designate one or not.

But Lu Xingshi has designated a few, and there will definitely be unrest within the federation.

Lu Xingshi did this on purpose, mainly because after the fight, the efficiency of making money would be greatly improved.

Previously, Zheng Xiang's practice of using chicken feathers as a token of authority had benefited Lu Xingshi a lot. If he hadn't killed a group of parliamentarians, no one would have known that they were so rich.

Although it was 91%, Lu Xingshi was certain that Zheng Xiang must have embezzled a portion of it, so it could not reach 91%. The conservative estimate was 73%. It was just that Lu Xingshi turned a blind eye to it. It was true that he lost some benefits, but it also encouraged unhealthy tendencies.

If the federation continues to develop in this way, it is very likely that the second generation will perish, and it will be easier for the Yan army to move in later.

It doesn't matter if the top leaders are corrupt, what he cares about is the bottom level. After all, there are only a few top leaders in the federation, and even if they are added together, they are not even a fraction of the bottom level.

The harder they squeezed, the faster the Yan army would take over after they arrived.

However, despite the internal fighting among the top leaders of the Federation, they are also sensible and are still advancing the Great Dynasty steadily.

Lu Xingshi couldn't estimate how long it would take for the Dali Dynasty to be destroyed, but he couldn't consider these things for the time being because he had already arrived in the imperial city.

I have to say, compared to the imperial city, other cities are just like country bumpkins.

After entering, Lu Xingshi even saw some things that looked like modern things, but there were not many of them and they looked a little mottled. They seemed to be relics from a long time ago. They were abandoned but preserved until now, and they felt like they were kept but not used.

As soon as he entered the imperial city, Lu Xingshi discovered something that was different from other cities, the most important of which was circulation.

Most cities are very closed, with few outsiders coming in and out, but the imperial city is different. There are many people with relatively free professions here, and the barriers between class backgrounds have faded a little.

Lu Xingshi disguised himself as a down-and-out young man from a noble family and it was easy for him to enter the city without being questioned much.

This is already the highest status that can be chosen. Royal relatives with higher status can still be used to cheat in other cities, but in the imperial city, people have family trees, and most of the royal relatives who leave the imperial city are arranged to serve as the highest officials in a certain city.

Without the Empress's order, it is impossible to return to the Imperial City.

So if you really disguise yourself like this, you will end up being full of loopholes.

On the contrary, many children of aristocratic families and wealthy families, whose families were broken up, came to the imperial city to make a living.

As for civilians, forget it.

"The capital is the capital, there are not even slums." Lu Xingshi couldn't help but sigh.

"That's because Her Majesty the Empress is kind-hearted and can't stand the poor." A professional nearby heard Lu Xingshi's sigh and couldn't help but echo him. Especially when he said the word 'kind-hearted', the professional showed a proud expression.

Lu Xingshi knew at a glance that this person was definitely from the imperial city.

Otherwise you can have this mentality.

"You really have a kind heart."

"I wonder how they did it?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.

How is it possible that there are no poor people? This is not a harmonious society.

"Of course I'll kill him. How else can I do that?" The professional looked at Lu Xingshi with disdain, as if to say that country people are just ignorant.

Lu Xingshi was quite shocked to hear this. So this is how you deal with the poor? He thought it was to give money to alleviate poverty, but he didn't expect it was to physically eliminate them.

You know what, this effect is really useful.

"Then there must be the poorest. For example, if Zhang San is a poor man and he is killed, then Li Si becomes the poorest. Doesn't he have to be killed as well? After Li Si dies, there is still Wang Wu..." Lu Xingshi gave an example.

"How would I know? I didn't kill him." The professional heard that what Lu Xingshi said made sense, but he was not responsible for dealing with the poor people, so how would he know how these things were done.

Then he ignored Lu Xingshi and left.

It was common for outsiders to come to the imperial city to beg for food.

As an outsider, after arriving in the imperial city, one's status is automatically downgraded by one level, from aristocratic families to wealthy families, and from wealthy families to common people.

Therefore, most of the original inhabitants of the imperial city despised outsiders, and even a commoner could discriminate against the children of foreign noble families.

"Then let's go to the palace next?" Lu Xingshi did not continue to dwell on the affairs of the poor.

If the total area of ​​the imperial city is ten, then the entire palace occupies seven.

The empress alone occupied 70% of the area, and the remaining 30% was where the noble families, wealthy families, and common people in the imperial city lived.

But even so, there are millions of people in the imperial city, and 99% of them are serving the empress alone.

But even with such a high proportion, even the tiny bit of crumbs that flowed out of the palace was enough for the top families in the imperial city to make a fortune.

From this we can also see how luxurious the empress's life was.

The daily consumption, if accurately calculated, would be an astronomical figure. However, for the empress, it was just a trivial day.

Lu Xingshi didn't want to criticize the other party, but he was thinking about killing the empress. Then wouldn't all these things become his?

Yes, what he wanted was to grab the thing instead of blaming the other party. After all, what good would it be to blame the other party? Only by grabbing the thing can one get the real benefit.

No wonder the royal family members had to create an independent new class. With the existence of the empress, even if their lives were miserable, they could not be challenged by the aristocratic families.

The palace is very big, so Lu Xingshi doesn’t have to worry about not being able to find it.

After all, as long as you enter the imperial city and walk along the main road on the street, the destination must be the imperial city.

It is true that all roads lead to Rome.

Lu Xingshi was thinking about whether he should fight his way through or choose to lurk in.

A rapid noise interrupted his thoughts.

I saw a group of knights driving BMWs speeding on the busy streets. Many people were accustomed to this and familiarly avoided them.

"This... came out of the palace?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.

"Of course, the one leading the group is Lord Gu Liangmei, the number one god of war in our country! It is said that back then..." A merchant owner nearby spoke eloquently.

But after listening to the other party's words, Lu Xingshi began to doubt his life. Nothing seemed right to this First God of War.

He remembered that there had been no wars before the Federation, so how did he get the title of the First God of War?

"He has been ranked first in the royal martial arts competition for several years in a row..." Lu Xingshi's eyes twitched. He had heard a little about the royal martial arts competition method.

The competition is very simple. You just need to show your level. Whoever has the highest level will be the first without even having to fight.

Then, in addition to this title, the merchant owner also gave examples of hunting activities such as hunting rabbits and catching foxes.

Lu Xingshi had a strange illusion that such a noble person actually had to go to the toilet himself.

"Lord Gu Liangmei must have personally led the troops to quell the rebellion."

"Why can't these damn rebels just commit suicide? Now they have the No. 1 War God of Daliang personally leading the troops to attack them. They have no idea of ​​rank and file at all." The merchant snorted coldly, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

Lu Xingshi glanced at the merchant. He was just a commoner, not from an aristocratic or wealthy family.

The people he trades with are probably just commoners or outside professionals. Otherwise, with his status, he would never meet the rich and powerful families. Moreover, they don't trade fairly with him. It's an honor to take your life, so what's the point of asking you for something without paying?

"Why don't you say anything?" The merchant found that Lu Xingshi did not agree with him, which made him a little strange.

"I think that this number one war god in Daliang may not be leading troops to quell the rebellion." Lu Xingshi said.

The royal family certainly does not have such a thing as self-knowledge, but Lu Xingshi can be sure of one thing, that is, such a "powerful" person is best left in the imperial city to protect the palace.

"Perhaps some important person has come to the vicinity of the imperial city, and the First God of War needs to go and meet him in person." Lu Xingshi is not stupid. How could he not see that the other party is not dressed for a long journey.

If they really wanted to lead troops to fight against the rebellion, given the character of the royal family, they would definitely not ride horses, but would only set out in their luxurious chariots.

"Big shot? Tsk." The merchant couldn't help but sneer: "What kind of person can be bigger than a relative of the royal family?"

He was extremely disdainful of Lu Xingshi's words.

In fact, there is no big problem with his understanding, but in Lu Xingshi's view, there is actually another class above the royal family, and that is the demons.

The wealthy and powerful families know a little about this, but the common people know nothing about it.

They knew about the existence of alien demon worlds and strange demons, but they had never come into contact with them. After all, these were all monopolized. How could they know about these things with so many barriers?

"You're right, I'm just a little inexperienced." Lu Xingshi didn't argue with the merchant, but was thinking about why the other party wanted to welcome a strange demon.

Logically speaking, the empress could have summoned the alien demon's clone who was suspected to be the source of the alien demon, so why would she go so far?
The price to pay for letting a demon out of the alien demon world is not small at all.

"Unless the source of the alien demons refuses to help the empress anymore!" Lu Xingshi narrowed his eyes, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

The reason is very simple. I am indeed too cunning, and the other party can recognize my identity. At this stage, he must accumulate the greatest strength to deal with me, rather than choosing to continue to fight head-on.

The opponent's goal is to kill with one blow.

So the empress really had no other choice but to change the candidate. After all, the Dali Dynasty was the empress's kingdom, not the kingdom of the source of the alien demons.

Thinking about it this way, it would make a lot more sense for the other party to invite another demon.

The alien demon that could be favored by the empress was probably not a simple creature, and might have strength that was not inferior to that of the incarnation of the source of the alien demon.
