Chapter 783 Laughing Too Early (12)

After watching Yun Jianxian for a while, Lin Yuan felt his intelligence senses activate.

The little girl in front of me doesn't seem very bright.

Moreover, unlike Gongyang Yu, although Gongyang Yu was not very smart, her luck made up for it, which allowed her to always walk on the right path.

But the person in front of me doesn't seem to have the luck to incite anger and resentment that day, which makes their stupidity all the more obvious.

Although he could sense that the other party was not very intelligent, Lin Yuan realized that the other party was a good NPC prototype, so he asked Zhong Huai, "How stupid is he?"

“You’ll see for yourself. Some stupidity can’t be hidden. She’ll reveal it herself in a moment,” Zhong Huai sighed. “Yun Jianxian, tell me what you’re planning to do first?”

Yun Jianxian finally stopped sobbing and sat down to the side, saying, "Could I have a cup of milk tea first? Three parts sugar, extra hot, and the tea leaves should be 4,300."

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone beg like this." Lin Yuan pressed his hand against a bulging vein. "I got angry the moment she spoke. How have you all held back until today?"

Zhong Huai also clutched his chest: "The job market for sword cultivators is already narrow. What can we do but endure it?"

Seeing that the two were about to lose their temper, Yun Jianxian lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Never mind if you don't have her. Is Yaoguang here?"

Lin Yuan scrutinized the woman for a moment, then said, "She's writing a project proposal, saying she's had a flash of inspiration and the next game will definitely be a groundbreaking little game. But I'm one of the owners here, so just tell me."

After confirming that Lin Yuan's statement was correct, Yun Jianxian breathed a sigh of relief and recounted his ordeal in detail.

After listening to Yun Jianxian's words, Lin Yuan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then said to Zhong Huai, "Is this a common practice? It's about making one's children the legal representative so that they can kick the other party to their death when necessary?"

"Isn't this how the children of noble families are used?" Zhong Huai asked doubtfully. "Otherwise, it would be better to give birth to a pork chop than to give birth to them."

“Aren’t you afraid that your children will rebel and kill their own parents? From what I understand now, doing this is already acting on behalf of Heaven.”

"Leaving aside whether we can win the fight, the fine for patricide alone will triple," Zhong Huai said helplessly.

"This is the first time I've ever heard of such an outrageous reason for a fine."

"That's nothing, and there's also..."

"Stop talking, or I'll really lose control and wipe out this damn place."

Rubbing his throbbing temples, Lin Yuan was further agitated by the situation here.

Looking at Yun Jianxian, Lin Yuan crossed his arms: "Letting you join isn't out of the question; I can still protect a small Haji sword. But the problem now is..."

"Please speak!" Yun Jianxian said with bright eyes, "I can do anything, I can do anything."

My question is, what use are you?

Upon hearing this, Yun Jianxian knew that his time to showcase his skills had come.

With her chest puffed out proudly, she said smugly, "I have managed an execution team of 100,000 people and made excellent contributions to the communication services of the lower realm. I have rich management experience. And recently, I effectively optimized the Sword Light System, making outstanding contributions to the system."

"Specifically, in order to save costs, all the sword cultivators who were actually doing their jobs were laid off," Zhong Huai said with a sneer.

"It's not a layoff, it's giving you a break! Why don't you understand my good intentions!"

"It's already hard for us sword cultivators to find work. If you give us a holiday, where will we get the money?"

“Although you’ve lost your jobs, you can rent out your houses to earn wages. And wouldn’t it be better to spend more time with your families?” Zhong Huai didn’t speak, but just looked coldly at Yun Jianxian.

Lin Yuan didn't say anything, but just scoffed softly.

What kind of capitalist is making this statement?

Those sword cultivators were far too patient; they didn't hang him.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Yun Jianxian shrank back like a turtle and asked in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong?"

"You've made a huge mistake. Do you have any other special skills?"

Yun Jianxian became proud again: "My swordsmanship is superb and my talent is outstanding. I became a Foundation Establishment sword cultivator at the age of twelve this year, breaking the previous record of a thirteen-year-old sword cultivator."

"The price is that every sword cultivator within the Sword Light System has contributed some swordsmanship insights," Zhong Huai coldly retorted once again.

"I already paid!" Yun Jianxian retorted, dissatisfied. "And it's even more expensive than the market price!"

“That’s true,” Zhong Huai nodded and said, “but you shouldn’t force people to buy or sell! All those that aren’t sold should be optimized, even though those that are sold are ultimately optimized as well.”

Upon being refuted again, Yun Jianxian's face immediately turned red with anger.

Pointing at Zhong Huai, she said fiercely, "Uncle Zhong, I've always called you uncle, but you've gone too far! Go out and see where else you can find a place as good as me, where I give you jobs and pay you money, you can't be ungrateful."

Zhong Huai wanted to argue, but Lin Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, talking about it is useless. Some things you have to experience to understand. Zhong Huai, you used to be in a high position. Before you fell, did you seriously consider the things at the bottom?"

Zhong Huai blushed, nodded slightly, and stepped back behind Lin Yuan, saying softly, "Indeed. Without experiencing it, one cannot know the suffering of those at the bottom. And now that I think about it, Yun Jianxian didn't do very well, but he was at least average, I have to admit that. Sometimes he was quite concerned about us, but he was so foolish that it sounded like he was mocking us. But this person is still rather useless, and I don't think he should be kept."

Lin Yuan glanced at Yun Jianxian, whose face was full of tension, considered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's stay."

"Thank you (why)!"

Seeing the two people reacting very differently, Lin Yuan said, "A completely new sample. We'll use this to observe the behavioral logic and thinking patterns of the disciples from upper-class families, so as to better understand the characteristics of the upper class. Let her do some work here first, and I'll come and collect information after I'm done with my current tasks."

"Okay, boss."

Although he was still reluctant, Zhong Huai nodded in agreement.

As Zhong Huai watched Lin Yuan leave, he was about to say something to Yun Jianxian when he saw Yun Jianxian grab his sleeve, tears welling up in his eyes, and say, "Uncle Zhong, I really don't know what I did wrong, but I'm willing to listen to you, I'm willing to change. Please, don't send me away."

Looking at the pitiful-looking Yun Jianxian, Zhong Huai rubbed his head.

His anger towards Yun Jianxian stemmed partly from her stupidity and partly from her discarding him and his brothers after she had served her purpose.

However, if they hadn't been dismissed, they wouldn't have entered such a powerful sect. In fact, the other party actually had some merit.

After thinking for a long time, he said helplessly, "Fine, I'll stay then. But remember, the work here isn't easy, so don't bring your spoiled brat attitude here."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhong!"

Yun Jianxian finally stopped crying and started laughing, knowing that he would no longer be forced into a ghost marriage.

But when she started working the next day, she realized she had laughed too soon.
