The Originium Worm in Tomorrow's Ark

It seems that training has to continue, but I can't hold on to such a small temptation.
"So what do you want to do now?" Huang Cheng put his hands around her neck, hanging on her.
"I think..." Ceria is an excellent woman with super power of action, so when he starts to have some improper thoughts in his head, it means that she has already acted before him. The brain starts.
She started exploring!
She was pushed away.
"how......."
Huang Cheng slightly hooked Ceria's hand with his tail and placed it slightly on his lips.
Then he immediately stood on the sofa and looked at her condescendingly.
"Seria, you really disappoint me! What's with your expression like fried fish? Just such a little movement..."
Swear more! I like!
Good guy, it’s hopeless.
Scorpions are boring.
Huang Cheng originally thought that this dragon could do something refreshing to him.
The result is no different from a week ago~
Am I that tempting?
Chapter 539 Is the little scorpion easy to fool?
At the same time, Victoria's top officials were holding an urgent meeting.
But the meeting was secret.
After all, paper cannot contain the fire, but it can prevent the fire from spreading as quickly.
At least it would give the family time to make a turnaround.
"You have caused a big disaster, but now is no longer the time to blame you. Now we need to fill this hole quickly."
"What did that old scorpion say?"
"He told us to wait for notification and said he would discuss with the shareholders' meeting whether to open the warehouse."
"He has a shitty shareholders' meeting, full of robots riding horses, what kind of shareholders' meeting is he holding! Are those robots oiling each other?"
Everyone present is not Leng Touqing. There is only one, and only one, leader of this capital aggregation with huge interests.
The so-called shareholders' meeting is bullshit.
He doesn't trust this company. Every time he takes action, he will not be hindered by anyone. Either there is no obstacle at all, or all obstacles are removed by him.
An old man punched the conference table angrily. The room was large, but also very dark.
There was only one candle flickering in the darkness on the huge round table.
Everyone around them lowered their heads and said nothing, but under the table, everyone was pinching their fingers and starting to calculate the gains and losses of this action.
Finally all of them calculated a result.
This time, I am afraid that I will have to shed my skin if I am not going to die.
But they have to do it, money comes from people, not money.
If there is no one to set off wealth, then wealth is just a pile of mud.
People living in Victoria must be saved. This is the responsibility of those in power.
Today's nobles are no longer the kind of group that only knew about exploitation but not management. Even if the essence of exploitation is still there, they still need to take into account the survival of the country and the life and death of the people below.
If everyone is gone, this Victoria can also cease to exist.
So if other countries invade them, if it really becomes a famine, then they simply don't have enough population to deal with the invasion of big countries.
In that case, even if their nobles can live alone, they will still have to live in the shadow of others.
Let alone dignity, don’t even know if your life can be saved?
But they did not pin all their hopes on the Scorpio Group.
They issued mandatory requirements to purchase grain to Iberia and surrounding backward countries.
The current world hegemony is still the British Pound and the Scorpion Gold Coin issued by the old Scorpion.
But after all, a company's credit cannot be compared with that of the country.
After all, the universality of the Scorpion gold coin is still a little less than that of the British pound.
But they also know that such a request is absolutely impossible to avoid the Scorpio Group. This terrifying company has many food channels.
Basically, except for a few big countries in the world, all grain trade must be reviewed by the Scorpio Group before it can be sent.
A company that controls all the upstream and downstream supply chains is so domineering.
Arms, medical and food.
It was only now that this group of Victorian nobles truly understood the horror of this company.
No matter what happens internationally it seems that there is no escape from the involvement of this company, War Medicine.
From the time a person is born to the present, basically all materials need to be handled by this company.
How on earth did he get to this point?
And how on earth did he get to this point without collapsing due to various internal factors?
Aren’t all their employees alive?
The board of directors is full of dead people, and the top leaders of each country know it very well.
Because this kind of operation is often seen in some large companies, but it can't be that employees can't even get in.
"That old scorpion is stalling for time to see if he can take action from his son. Isn't his son going to visit Victoria recently? Can any of you send someone to meet him and settle the matter by the way?"
The respected old man looked at the people present. Everyone was whispering to each other and seemed to be discussing, but in fact they all had their own plans.
This is an opportunity and a disaster.
Although Victoria officials hate the Scorpio Group's interference in internal affairs, it is also a cash cow for the nobles.
Everyone hates the Scorpio Group, but everyone loves the Scorpio Group.
Otherwise, this time it was about the fate of the country, and they really wanted to seize the opportunity at this time.
But now we really can’t let this company interfere in Victoria’s internal affairs again.
Otherwise it's like Iberia and Colombia.
The country becomes someone else’s.
So why did they expel the red dragon so many years ago? Isn’t it just to control the land and cities of this country?
We must not let outsiders take away the fruits of victory.
"Compared to that old scorpion, his son is easier to fool. A 15-year-old boy is not as good as us old monsters."
"We must discuss the countermeasures for this matter the day after tomorrow. I have already sent out the invitation letter. We must do a good job in reception and see if we can fool him. If not, we must get some weight from him. Come down."
Looking at Ceria, whose eyes were gradually blurring in front of her, the tail on the back of the dragon began to regain its vitality, slapping on the ground one after another, looking very excited.
Are you excited?
You are greedy for my body, why don't you...
Huang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, stopped what he was doing, and waved his hand.
It's boring, really boring.
Huang Cheng was completely uninterested, although he was indeed very comfortable these days.
But if this continues, it will hurt your body, so let’s let this dragon go.
She is going to Victoria the day after tomorrow, so let her have a good rest these two days.
"Why did you stop..."
Saria was feeling very uncomfortable right now, holding her Scorpion, not knowing what to do, with resentment showing on her face, just like a Sarkaz chargeer who was halfway through his charge when suddenly faced with a headwind and hit a heavily armored operator.
"You are still playing. I have fought so frequently these days to train you. Your face is as white as paper now. You haven't slept well in many days."
"I don't know who did it...so you just pique my interest now and ignore it?"
"Do it yourself when you go to the bathroom to take a shower."
"You are so cruel."
Seria finally accepted Scorpion's proposal, and she also knew that Scorpion was going to Victoria the day after tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the last day for the two of us, and it's not a problem to have a dark circle under our eyes all the time.
Finally, the two fell asleep peacefully.
Perhaps because her body was too exhausted, Ceria hugged Huang Cheng and stopped teasing him.
I fell asleep as soon as my eyes closed.
Chapter 540 Knowledge changes destiny
Victoria.
There's something happening uptown and downtown.
That is, people of all sizes are going to one place carrying potatoes and wheat at home.
"What are you doing carrying a sack of potatoes?"
"Someone comes to buy grain at a high price. Now the price of a bag of potatoes can be five times more than before! How long will it take if we don't sell it now?"
"What do you eat when you sell potatoes?"
"You are stupid! Who among the rich would eat these potatoes? Why not eat white bread? Hurry up and take out all the potatoes at home. The time to make a fortune is now!"
"I think something is not right. I'd better save the food at home. Everything will not be lost in vain..."
"You deserve to be poor for the rest of your life, and you deserve to be able to eat only one or two potatoes every day! I don't think your family can even have a piece of bread to eat throughout the year."
"I can't even eat bread, but at least I can eat enough."
Most people were dazzled by the sudden luck. In their minds, Victoria's food reserves were definitely sufficient.
The richest land in the whole land lies within Victoria's borders.
How could there be a food crisis when the weather is good all year round and there are no pests or diseases?
It should be that there is some idea of external expansion from above.
Even if there is a war, the people of Victoria will not panic. The reason is that this land is too rich.
There has been no major famine since the founding of the country, and all foreign wars have been basically great victories. Even the most tragic war against Gaul a few years ago was not that bad.
The country is still peaceful, and there is no shortage of supplies.
This is also due to the prevalence of the pound system in this land.
A pile of paper can be exchanged for food, and the fruits of a country's hard work for a year can be exchanged.
It's simply a hugely profitable deal.
But not all ordinary people have no sense of crisis. On the contrary, it is the poorest group of people who do not intend to hand over what they have in their hands to save their lives.
That's the group of people in Xiacheng District.
Including the Gerrit family, a family of eight gathered in their small hut, holding on to the potatoes and wheat flour they had finally bought.
Their intuition tells them that there must be a monster when something goes wrong.
"From today on, all the money we earn will be used to buy food. Even if the price of food has increased slightly, once you have spare money, you must spend it."
Mrs. Griet stared at the six children in front of her, while Griet next to her, the head of the family, looked at her little daughter Susie.
"Thank you for your hard work these days. You are obviously the youngest here, and you have to get up early and work hard every day to take care of your family."
Grit's face looked a little remorseful. He felt that he was not a good father.
