The Last 299 Days of Humanity

Chapter 117 Rosie
Yao Dan circled the area several times but didn't hear the necklace pendant alarm. Yu Qing realized the person he was looking for wasn't there, and since he didn't like the atmosphere, he moved to another location.

However, he almost tripped and fell here during this change of venue.

Originally, coming here to find someone was just a pretext; what he really wanted to do was find out whether Feixi City was actually Shengtian's property.

The lighting here was dim, the colors were eerie, and the music was soft and languid—a complete reversal from the previous venue. When Yu Qing walked in, he found that seventeen or eighteen stunningly beautiful women were already seated inside.

Yu Qing whispered to Yao Dan, "Help me identify whether these are humanoid beauties or humans?"

Yao Dan glanced around and said, "They're all living organisms. But most of them only have half human genes, so their composition is complex. Look, there's a woman over there who even has a tail."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "Some ancient myths mention fox spirits, and now they've become reality. They probably want to use this method to attract some curious onlookers."

He walked over and struck up a conversation with a beautiful woman, saying, "Actually, we don't need to turn on the lights here. Look how bright our fairy is."

The woman glanced up and said, "Looks like a natural man. But he's still a bit lacking; he doesn't seem strong enough. What's your highest record?"

After she finished speaking, the woman stuck out her tongue, which startled Yu Qing. Her tongue was covered in many barbs.

Yu Qing said awkwardly, "I didn't record it... I... I was just browsing..."

He turned to leave the terrifying monster, but the woman smiled and grabbed his hand, saying, "No need to rush off, you can chat with me for a bit."

He had brought this upon himself, so Yu Qing could only sit far away from her and say, "I'm looking for someone. Have you seen this woman before?"

Yu Qing handed her the photo. She glanced at it only and said, "Half of the women in Feixi City look like the person you're looking for. What's her name?"

Yu Qing said, "I don't know."

"Your approach to flirting isn't very clever. Besides, you seem a bit silly. How can you bring your doll with you in a situation like this? That's something only poor people do. I heard that many places give away humanoid dolls to those good-for-nothings for free."

Yao Dan was furious and about to lash out when Yu Qing quickly signaled her not to act rashly and gestured for her to wander around looking for someone.

After Yao Dan left in a huff, Yu Qing said calmly, "There's nothing I can do. I'm really too poor. I only have this one humanoid beauty. If I lose her, I'll have nothing left."

The woman stared at him for a while, then sighed, "Fine, I have more money than I can spend anyway. You can lie down and kiss the tips of my shoes."

Yu Qing suppressed his anger and didn't want to pay attention to her.

Seeing the displeasure on his face, the woman quickly said, "You've got guts. I just wanted to give you some money; my quick payment link is embedded in the toe of your shoe, understand?"

After saying that, she raised her foot, gesturing for Yu Qing to bend down and receive the donation. Yu Qing turned his head away, pretending not to understand her meaning.

"Fine, then!" the woman huffed and walked away.

At this moment, another woman walked over and sat down next to him, saying, "I just can't stand her arrogant attitude. She's about to kick the bucket in a couple of days and she still can't resist showing off."

Yu Qing asked hesitantly, "You...are all..."

"Didn't you see the sign outside? 'Offshore Flower.' The women who come here are all about to become Yu Zi. Everyone's had their fun, so they're quietly welcoming another dawn in their lives here. You're smart; if you can move just one woman here, she'll give you everything else."

Yu Qing defended himself, saying, "I really came to find someone, I didn't mean anything by it."

Upon hearing this, tears streamed down the woman's face as she sobbed, "You're looking for her to say goodbye, aren't you? How I wish the person you're looking for was me. My whole life has been so lonely..."

Yu Qing hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I made you sad. Think about it, there aren't many people in this world who can become Yu Zi, you're a lucky one."

The woman wiped away her tears and said, "You really know how to comfort people. Indeed, most people simply cannot afford the cost of leaving their consciousness in the universe."

Seeing that the woman was relatively gentle, Yu Qing wanted to find out some information about Feixi City from her. So, he casually asked, "Do you know who owns the properties in Feixi City?"

The woman said, "You've come to the right person. This is a property of the Shengdi Group."

Yu Qing said with some disappointment, "Shengdi or Shengtian? How come some people say it's Shengtian Group?"

"That's nonsense. This place belongs to the Shengdi Group 100%. Shengtian Group is Shengdi's biggest competitor. But this whole area is Shengdi's territory."

"Why are you so sure?"

“I am from the Shengdi Group. Why are you so sure? However, there is also an intelligence gathering agency of Shengtian Company here, which is very well hidden. They always manage to get information about anything that happens to us at Shengdi.”

Yu Qing said casually, "I heard that all these properties will be confiscated next year."

The woman said in surprise, "You know about this too? It's really bizarre. Both Shengtian and Shengdi have a century-old will, and the heirs of the two groups have not shown up for over a hundred years. So all our fighting is for those two people who may not even exist!"

"That's good, they've all been confiscated. It's all for the best."

"Shengdi is about to be confiscated. Shengtian hasn't enacted such a law yet. So Shengtian Company actually achieved final victory in this way."

Yu Qing smiled and said, "You must be very dissatisfied, right?"

The woman said, "What does this have to do with me? But there is indeed a group of people in Shengdi who are very dissatisfied. Yesterday I heard that they devised a plan to drag Shengtian down with them. If Shengdi is confiscated, Shengtian will also go bankrupt, or at least suffer a great loss."

Yu Qing was startled. If they succeeded, wouldn't he get nothing? He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I'm afraid that's just wishful thinking."

The woman whispered, "Don't say that. They might actually succeed. I heard that Shengtian's heir has already appeared, and somehow he's in Hongqiu. If they can just find a way to sign a contract with him, Shengtian will be half dead." Yu Qing almost cried out in surprise. He said, "So, Shengtian's heir has already taken over the group's affairs?"

"That's the strange thing. He had in fact obtained the highest administrative power, but he temporarily granted management authority to the current management team. Some people say that someone was interfering and did not want to hand over power, so they prevented him from taking over the group's affairs at Shengtian."

It seems that both Shengtian and Shengdi Groups have been thoroughly infiltrated by the other, their information network even more extensive than his own. What's frightening is that what he thought was a secret—that he had seized supreme administrative power—is actually common knowledge!
Yu Qing still wanted to get the details of Shengdi's plan out of this woman, so he casually said, "Even if Shengtian's heir comes here, he's not stupid. Why would he sign a contract that's detrimental to his own group?"

Just as the woman was about to tell Yu Qing the details of the plan, Yao Dan ran over and said, "Husband, the person you're looking for isn't here."

When the woman saw Yao Dan address Yu Qing as "husband," she thought he was a devoted man, but now he was being so intimate with a woman who resembled a human, so she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Although Yu Qing was a little angry that Yao Dan had unintentionally ruined his plans, he didn't say anything, only muttering, "You really know how to pick your time..."

Yao Dan pulled Yu Qing aside and said, "Let's go somewhere else. Everyone here acts like they're the Queen Mother of the West."

Despite some regrets, Yu Qing felt that this unexpected experience was still very rewarding. It seemed that the reason Chang'e stopped him from coming to Feixi City was because Shengtian Group feared he would be deceived by the people of Shengdi; in reality, they were secretly helping him. After all, their interests were aligned under these circumstances.

The actual controllers of Shengtian already knew that Yu Qing had obtained supreme administrative power, and they would never dare to harm him now, because that would bring disastrous consequences of mutual destruction. They might even secretly protect him.

Their ideal outcome is that Yu Qing will forever remain a figurehead boss, with everything continuing as before, and Shengtian's affairs still under their control. Yu Qing's current itinerary is taking him further and further away from Shengtian's headquarters, which is exactly what they desire, so they certainly won't cause any trouble behind his back.

What Yu Qing is most worried about now is those guys from the Shengdi Group; they might even end up killing him. If they knew that killing him would trigger the self-destruct mechanism set up by the Heavenly Ancestor, they might start acting immediately.

Now that he knows about the Shengdi Group's conspiracy, he's prepared to deal with them, which has actually reduced the difficulty by more than half. He also plans to use a double-deal to turn danger into opportunity.

Then he and Yaodan arrived at another entertainment venue. This place looked much shabby, probably a cheap or even free place. The daughter of that purple ball only knew how to indulge in debauchery and didn't associate with her rich father, so she probably didn't have much income and was most likely to frequent this place.

Yu Qing had barely stepped inside when a woman rushed over, grinning, and put her hand on his shoulder, saying, "Handsome young man, I've been waiting for you for ages!"

Yu Qing looked up and, damn it, it was the woman in the photo! Just then, the necklace pendant in Yao Dan's pocket started jingling, and Yu Qing realized that this woman was the daughter Zi Qiu had asked him to find.

Yu Qing took the necklace back from Yao Dan and turned off the alarm. The woman stared intently at the necklace in Yu Qing's hand and said, "I used to have one exactly the same..."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "It's yours, your father gave it to me."

At this moment, Yu Qing realized a big problem: the purple ball hadn't told him its name, nor its daughter's name.

The woman didn't believe him at all, and instead challenged him, saying, "Really? Then do you know my name?"

"To tell you the truth, he really didn't tell me your name. For someone who's been the boss of the resort for so long in Fessi, he'd forgotten even that, and now he wants me to find someone..."

Seeing that he did indeed know about her father, the woman said, "My name is Rosie. That old geezer probably doesn't even remember my name."

Yu Qing said solemnly, "I'm just a messenger, and I don't know what grudges you and your father have. But I want to tell you that your father is not an immortal old man. In fact, he is already dead, but his consciousness has been uploaded to Yu Zi."

Rosie was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and said, "What a relief! He... went to all this trouble just to have you return this necklace to me?"

"No, not exactly. He told me to tell you that you can go back to live in that white villa. Also, he left you... yes, 900 billion RB."

Rosie jumped up excitedly, saying, "Where is it? Give it to me, give it to me now..."

Yu Qing shrugged and said, "I don't know where it is either. I'm just passing on the message to you. He said you have to find a man to marry in order to get it."

Rosie said, "Then let him keep it himself!"

Yu Qing said, "That's beyond my control. You'll have to figure it out yourself. If you don't collect the money by February next year, it will be confiscated."

After saying that, Yu Qing turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Rosie suddenly ran over and hugged Yu Qing's waist, saying with a grin, "Why bother two men? Why look for another man? We can just get married."

Yu Qing forcefully pried her hands off, saying, "Go find someone else. I won't have anything to do with someone as heartless as you."

Rosie grabbed his pants and laughed, "Will you agree or not? If you don't, I'll pull your pants off."

Yao Dan hurriedly came over and pulled Yu Qing's pants down to prevent Rosie from pulling them down.

The two men's struggle escalated quickly; one pulled upwards, the other downwards, and with a sharp crack, Yu Qing's pants were ripped in two. Yu Qing stood there in only his briefs, drawing roars of laughter from the onlookers.

The two women quickly pulled up their pants to cover Yu Qing. Rosie said with a grin, "I'm sorry, this isn't my fault. I think you should come with us to the villa to change your pants. This is too indecent."

Yu Qing angrily said, "Get out! Get out! Get out! I like walking around naked in the street, it's none of your business."

Rosie laughed and said, "But that's none of your business."

Yao Dan said, "Although this person is annoying, what she said isn't wrong. Let's go to that white house and change our pants."

Yu Qing had no choice but to acquiesce and allow them to help him to the white house.

Yu Qingcai was filled with regret as soon as he stepped into the house. He suddenly realized a fatal oversight. This was the residence of the former boss of the Shengdi Group in Feixi. The access control system must have collected his biometric data, and they would soon know he was here.

Now, no matter how properly he dressed, to the people at the resort, he was practically naked. What's worse, Rosie was a wild and unrestrained madwoman. As soon as she entered, she took off her outer clothes and tried to send Yao Dan to the side room so they could consummate their relationship in the living room.
