The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 89's comments make sense, the transition should be faster, today's day (_)
It was placed in a thick iron cage, which seemed to have electricity.

Wearing a straitjacket.

The ears are slightly pointed and tilted back, the pupils are dilated, and the skin is rough.

Even after grooming, the hair still looks wild, probably because the hair stands upright, causing a similar "fluffy" phenomenon.

There is a long tail behind the butt.

This thing had obvious features of the orc race, and the expression on its face was full of panic, fear, and confusion.

Unfortunately, due to its small size and gentle features, no matter how you look at it, it just looks like an angry kitten on guard against its surroundings.

"Orc? They actually caught one that looks so much like a human? And it's a female?" This is what Dak saw when he followed Deng Yizhou to his manor.

The slave trade is not prohibited within the empire, but you are generally not eligible to obtain a license to legally trade slaves.

Generally speaking, it’s difficult to buy, let alone sell.

Tobacco, alcohol, tea, salt, iron, gas, and slaves are all government-owned. Anyone who touches them will die. Only a few are specially licensed.

The first four are easy to understand.

The following is.

Iron represents various minerals.

Steam represents various energy sources.

Slaves represent the conquered population from outside, and barbarians are not worthy of being considered human beings.

"Wasn't there some friction with the Super United Theocracy some time ago? My brother brought me some local specialties.

The military has given special approval to leave, hehehe."

Deng Yizhou said proudly that it is powerful if you know how to do it.

The military has great power. Although it is not allowed to interfere in politics, it has privileges in many areas - a special line for military supplies.

"So why did you call me here? To show off?" Dake and Deng Yizhou were arm in arm, looking like good brothers.

As for the doll, she had already driven away.

Some things are not suitable to be discussed privately with people who are not in the same circle.

How could other female relatives be present when two grown men were talking about "pets"?
"Brother, I'm serious this time." Deng Yizhou said seriously. He really wanted to arrange a marriage.

This is a matter of a lifetime, if you are not careful, your life will be over!
As a kid from a wealthy family, he had anticipated this kind of thing, but Yang Bo's sudden rise made him feel insecure!

All the people whose information I once collected as possible marriage targets are no longer around.

The person who suddenly appeared was the blood curse master from the Yang family, a branch of the family he was completely unfamiliar with.

It would be easier if you married someone with a good personality.

If I marry someone with a bad personality... Oh my god, spare me!
Quack! Marrying an ancestor and giving birth to a father... I don't want that!

"Are your family in such a hurry? Do you want me to take you to my house? You can observe more by yourself." Dak leaned back on the sofa and picked up the wine glass to pour wine.

Yang Bo is indeed very capable.

I was able to deal with those old guys so quickly, and my network of contacts spread rapidly. !
"Stop talking... I'm in trouble, brother! I thought I could play for a few more years, but I didn't expect your old man to be so powerful.!
You can only get around by making connections all over the country - this is also Dak's idea. After integrating into the circle, your network of relationships will be built up quickly.

Not everyone wants to enter the central government. Some families just want to be the local tyrants. After all, the center of power is too dangerous.

"Did the old man send my nephews to the National Royal Academy?" Dak said thoughtfully, while a jealous expression deliberately appeared on Yang Jie's face.

This was done deliberately for Deng Yizhou to see.

It's plastic brothers!

Could it be that what you think is emotional is actually acted out by someone else?
Ha ha.

Deng Yizhou was very satisfied with Dak's expression.

Unity?

It is best not to unite with others except those around you.

what?
You say I'm sowing discord?
Where is the evidence? If you don’t have any, I’ll sue you for defamation!

“There’s nothing we can do about it.

The National Royal Academy considers talent and background as the first factors in admission.

The quota was limited and I was not sent there that year.

Oh, what a pity. "

Deng Yizhou looked empathetic - it was all the old man's fault for being biased, brother, I'm the same as you!

So-called bad friends are just like this, right?

LOL.

The elites who are truly chosen as successors must be those who have received elite education.

Only abandoned second-rate people are left to their own devices and do nothing all day long.

These old forces rarely have any independent ones.

Except for those subject to some invisible restrictions, most of them are large clans with many branches and leaves.

Only Yang Bo is the first generation of entrepreneurs, and there are few descendants of his bloodline. Even so, he can still find a lot of his own bloodline.

“Tch—never mind.

If you were to marry into my family, I suggest you choose my younger sister.

It’s not a question of whether she has a good temper, but rather that she has an indifferent personality.

You absolutely don't have to worry about her causing trouble for you, but the downside is that you can't expect a very good relationship between husband and wife.

She is really indifferent." said Dake.

Yang Jie, Yang Lu and other illegitimate children found by Yang Bo are also divided into different levels.

Receiving different educations naturally has different uses, some of which are used for marriage arrangements.

"Thanks then, brother."

Deng Yizhou planned to go back and investigate what kind of person Yang Jie's so-called younger sister was.

This concerns his lifelong happiness and must not be taken lightly.

So-called love is that you would rather choose someone who loves you than only choose the one you love. The current situation is similar. You would rather choose someone who doesn't care about anything than a gossipy woman who wants to control everything.

He doesn't want to be dominated by his wife!
"Then this orc..."

Dak looked at Deng Yizhou, and his meaning was clear—he needed achievements.

Of course, what he wanted was not just this orc, but the connection between Deng Yizhou's brother and the military.

It may not be justifiable to ask outsiders to fight for family property and the right to speak.

But asking relatives for help can still provide some support.

Direct military assistance is impossible, but there is no problem in helping with personal monetization.

"Brother, you are about the same age as me. Would you like to consider my sister?!" Deng Yizhou winked.

Of course he knew what it meant.

Of course, the most suitable marriage partner for the family is Yang Lu, but that may not be the case for Deng Yizhou.

Individual and collective interests do not completely overlap.

Yang Jie's sister Yang Lu looks really bad.

Marry her?
Then I, Deng Yizhou, would be so unlucky!

Compared to someone like me who grew up under the care of the family, it is really hard to be sure how much sense of collective honor Yang Jie, who was taken back into the family as an adult, has.

Rather than influencing him indirectly through his sister, it is better to influence him directly.

Besides, how could it be so easy for him to gain access to the military?
At least we have to be closer.

Marriage!

Still a marriage!

Although this method is a bit crude, it is really useful.

Moreover, they are not the legitimate sons of the main line of the family. If there is any problem, they can be cut off and abandoned at any time. At most, there will be some bleeding.

This is a necessary sacrifice for the family's benefit!
"...That's fine." Dak found Deng Yizhou in front of him quite funny. After all, he was not Yang Jie himself.

Acting is really fun.

From a third party's perspective, Deng Yizhou's intentions were too obvious.

But now that I’m wearing Yang Jie’s skin, I still have to act well.

And if we can hook up with the military, we can legally obtain various secret information in the name of the military and conduct various restricted experiments, which would also be great.

The reputation of the imperial military has nothing to do with benevolence and will most directly show the brutal and domineering side of the empire.

The army is the darkest place in the country and the most violent institution in the empire.

"That's great. I'll arrange a gathering later, and you can come too, buddy. It's a good opportunity for us to get to know each other." Deng Yizhou said with a smile.

If this thing can be accomplished, it will be a great benefit to him.

My brother also needs the support of “his own people” in the military. It would be great if he could recruit some people from the Yang family to join the army.

You have to know that the military is also very dark. It can even be said that half of the "darkness" of this country lies in the military.

Such as foreign aggression, colonization, dumping, plunder, massacre...

"Okay... let's go out and play some more."

Dak plans to change his identity after today, and let Yang Jie take care of everything in the future.

He has no interest in these matters.

It's a bit boring to argue with this guy.

Alas, you are useless now!

"Let's go!" There are so many fun things to do.

As for this orc slave...is it important?

No one cares.

Whether it is Yang Jie or Deng Yizhou, always focusing on the orc slaves is a manifestation of lowering one's status, which will only make people think that their level is not good enough.

The cricket is just a slave and a toy in their eyes.

Time is passing quickly...

The Blood Curse Master lineage developed rapidly under the leadership of Yang Bo. The old guy worked so hard that Dak was wondering whether he should extend his life.

Underneath Yangbo Manor, in a huge cave.

Dak built an underground palace here, which is filled with high-tech atmosphere and luxurious decoration.

The walls of the palace are inlaid with sparkling gems, exquisite chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and the floor is paved with smooth marble.

In order to satisfy Dak, a lot of manpower and resources were spent on building this place.

Unfortunately, all this didn't seem to arouse his interest.

Dak ignored all these magnificent scenes and felt extremely bored.

Look around and try to find something fun to do to pass the time.

Apart from the high-tech equipment and luxurious furniture, there seemed to be nothing here that could attract his attention.

He even began to wonder why he was staying here? !
Do great things!
I wanna do something big!

...Okay, this is just indirect madness.

His mood began to become irritable.

He felt that his time was wasted here!
He longed to do something meaningful instead of spending his time here doing nothing.

Gua! Gua! Gua!
He began to think about leaving this place and looking for something that could really interest him.

For example...Dake really wants to go to the imperial capital to check out the situation, but he has to be patient now because the necessary spell has not yet been woven.

Naraku also obtained the spell that allowed him to separate the heart and prevent himself from dying, but now he has to make some modifications.

For example, the brain is removed and a secondary brain is implanted in the body.

I always feel that it would be weird if these transitions were omitted. . . When the protagonist suddenly takes out something later, there must be some foreshadowing...
