Star Iron, after using the mod to make the Big Black Tower dark, the game became real

Even though my mind is still relatively clear, I can't perfectly control my body, and I feel a kind of uncomfortable disharmony.

Jiang Wei held her waist, and every now and then he mischievously stroked her earlobe and even more sensitive earlobes.

Even the Heavenly Ring, which could only be touched by close family members, became Jiang Wei's possession.

Jiang Wei touched the lovely celestial ring, as if he could see through the robin's soul, which was so clear and pure that it seemed otherworldly.

Everything seemed to be open to Jiang Wei, without any defenses.

The robin nestled in Jiang Wei's arms.

Her cheeks were flushed, her cherry lips were slightly parted, and her fragrance filled the air.

Chapter 38 Keeping a Heart from Sorrow

Jiang Wei pinched the robin's delicate cheek.

"you're drunk."

The robin was indeed drunk.

Her delicate body was somewhat out of control, swaying unsteadily.

His expression no longer possessed the elegance of a former superstar; it had a hazy quality to it.

A light sheen of sweat glistened on his neck, soaking his collar.

""sober up"."

Jiang Wei gently touched her brow with his finger, using the power of the "setting" to erase half of her drunkenness.

The robin's hazy eyes cleared.

She was a little confused.

Did Jiang Wei help her sober up so he could take advantage of her while she was sober?

The robin felt a wave of suffocation at the thought of the devastation it might face.

"Don't overthink it. Your job tonight is to keep me company at the banquet. Getting drunk by yourself isn't a good way to entertain guests."

A blush rose on the robin's face.

She was completely overthinking things and was too embarrassed to lift her head.

"Robin, do you have no regrets?"

Jiang Wei grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him.

Gazing into those jewel-like eyes, his sense of satisfaction steadily rose.

"The family gave you to me, and if I so choose, 'The Robin' will disappear from Pinocchio, from the family, and from the sight of the entire galaxy."

"No matter how I treat you, whether gently or cruelly, no one will jump out to be a hero and save the day."

"Because the 'family' will block information related to you to prevent you from causing trouble for the family."

The robin gradually became lethargic.

Jiang Wei gently held her, feeling the girl's body temperature and the aroma of luxurious red wine.

[Event: Some of the thoughts of the Imperial citizens need to be controlled]

[Description: After we conquered Pinocene, the people of this planet came under the Empire’s control. They followed the footsteps of “Order” and “Harmony” and their minds were as chaotic as a lump of mud.]

If things continue like this, a rebellion will inevitably break out, and Pinocchio will become the main battlefield for the family and the empire.

【choose……】

[Raising taxes to 99%: Pinocchio's taxes have increased, but they can only afford basic necessities, leaving them with no money to buy weapons or capital to rebel; however, without curbing public anger, stability will continue to decline, leading to a surge in criminals and crimes.]

[Expel them: The empire does not accept dissidents; locals will be expelled and become refugees.]

Option 1 appears to be a devilish policy of 99% taxation.

Jiang Wei then thought that if he implemented a "utopian" system, distribution would be based on need.

Even if you levy 100% tax, the people here won't complain.

He manipulated Pinocchio through a utopian system, able to turn a beggar into a millionaire with a single word, and also deprive countless people of their right to survival.

Jiang Wei selected option 1.

I lowered my face and pressed it against the robin's neck, inhaling the rich aroma of red wine and her refreshing body fragrance.

Jiang Wei's intimate gesture made the robin tremble slightly.

Still harboring hopes for the "family"? A robin?

"...I have no power to object."

Sunday is the day of the Oak Lord, who obeys the Lord of Dreams.

The robin is disobedient; it will surely encounter danger on Sunday.

She clearly realized that being betrayed by her family and turned into Jiang Wei's plaything was not true despair.

The long period of torment is just around the corner.

She was going to have to watch helplessly as Sunday was deceived by the dreamer.

She pretended nothing had happened in front of him, remaining as gentle and dignified as ever.

Behind the scenes, however, she was Jiang Wei's plaything, manipulated at will.

She could no longer help anyone, nor could she continue singing.

The heavy reality is suffocating the bird.

"Don't be afraid."

Jiang Wei stroked her soft earlobes.

The robin is like a little angel. To possess such a bird and depend on it for body and soul must be an incredibly wonderful feeling.

"I'm just proposing a hypothesis."

"The dreamer has a good eye for people. I do like you a bit, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed tonight."

The robin paused for half a second upon hearing this.

"I won't force you to do anything. With me here, the family won't touch you because of me."

A hint of gratitude rose in the robin's eyes.

Jiang Wei ruthlessly shattered her illusions.

"But once you do it the first time, you'll do it again."

"If things continue like this, rather than letting you become a puppet of the family, it's better for you to stay by my side."

"Perhaps I and my family are a prison to you, but at least I am older than your family and I am willing to take good care of you."

The robin's eyes dimmed.

As Jiang Wei said, her trust in her family had been shattered, and she could no longer protect them as before.

“Sing me a song, and I will protect you from the calamity your family has brought upon you until you figure out how to escape the misfortune they have brought upon you. In return, sing.”

Jiang Wei stroked her delicate neck.

With just a little force, her voice could be silenced, and her life could be cut short.

The gesture, imbued with a sense of control, left Jiang Wei's mark deep within the robin's heart.

Regardless of what kind of life the robin will experience in the future.

Even if she becomes a truly great person, she will never forget that one day she was Jiang Wei's caged bird, at his mercy.

But more than being a caged bird, the robin is now grateful for Jiang Wei's care and adherence to his principles.

She began to feel a bit of affection for Jiang Wei.

She rose gracefully from his embrace.

When the robin talks about singing, a bright smile spreads across his face.

Which song would you like to hear?

"To keep a heart from sorrow."

Upon hearing this, the robin's smile faltered slightly.

Her eyelashes drooped slightly, and her clear eyes gazed at him; Jiang Wei seemed to be the only one in her eyes.

She began to sing.

The prelude began with a sweet humming.

"What if birds were born without shackles?"

What, then, binds my destiny?

"Were the pure white petals swept away by the wind?"

"Leaving me alone, trapped in a cage?"

……

"Let my heart bravely spread its wings and fly?"

"Through the deepest night?"

"To chase after the bright moonlight?"

"Let the clouds heal past pains?"

"Gently wipe away the sorrow from life?"

A song has been sung.

The robin felt much better.

She truly wanted to use her singing to soothe all the pain in the world, but reality was cold and cruel.

"It sounds wonderful, I've become a fan of Miss Robin."

"I wouldn't dare to be your idol."

"Can the robin give its fans a hug?"

Jiang Wei's plan came to light.

He opened his arms and smiled as he looked at the robin.

The robin tilted its head slightly, its voice filled with embarrassment and annoyance.

"Is Mr. Jiang Wei still not satisfied after gaining so many advantages tonight?"

"If it were just a transaction, I would ask for more."

Jiang Wei was waiting for her.

The robin understood what he meant.

He won't let the relationship end at the most basic transaction.

The robin nestled in his arms, its eyes holding a subtle hint of resentment.

Now she dares to express her dissatisfaction.

Jiang Wei pretended not to see it.

She was very well-behaved and quite docile. Holding her felt warm and cozy, and her delicate body fragrance was delightful.

……

Before the banquet ended.

Jiang Wei called out to the robin.
