Starry Sky Railway: People on the train, nine to five

"You guys...is there a guy named Xiao Hao who's doing odd jobs here?"

"Xiao Hao?"

Hearing this name, Scott felt very unfamiliar. He looked slightly away and looked at his subordinate beside him. The subordinate immediately understood and shook his head hurriedly:

"No, I never remember having an employee named Xiao Hao."

"Oh? Really?" Zhou Xiao's tone turned colder: "Then why did everyone say yes when I asked around just now?"

"..."

"Oh! You're talking about Xiao Hao! I'll listen to you." The subordinate reacted quickly and changed the subject slightly, then said:

"There is this employee... who seems to be a child. He hasn't come to work for several days. As you know... children are playful and often run away."

"Run away? I heard..." Zhou Xiao's tone became colder: "I heard that he died..."

"Dead? That's normal."

The subordinate smiled kindly and said, "You know, this underground is so chaotic. Some people die every day, including a child. This is normal..."

Hearing this answer, Zhou Xiao glanced at the subordinate, then drew out the long sword from his waist. As blood dripped from the tip of the sword to the ground, the people present realized that the Kun Feng in front of them had killed someone.

"I don't like this answer. Next, you say it." Zhou Xiao didn't give Scott any face at all and pointed the tip of the knife at the next of Scott's men.

The blood-stained blade had a great visual impact. Coupled with Zhou Xiao's cold eyes, the opponent's legs suddenly felt weak. This feeling of oppression gave him a feeling that Zhou Xiao really dared to kill him.

"Three...two."

As Zhou Xiao counted down, the long sword was raised up.

"I say..." Under this great feeling of oppression, the other party really said what he knew.

It turned out that Xiao Hao really was working in a fight club, but his job was a sparring partner. To put it nicely, he was a sparring partner, but to put it bluntly, he was getting beaten.

Every time I was beaten, I would save a little bit of money as salary.

Listening to the man's description, Zhou Xiao was slightly stunned.

He remembered that he seemed to have seen Xiao Hao limping sometimes, and there were a few bruises on his body. He thought that Xiao Hao was bullied in the mining area, but he didn't expect it to happen here...

When he thought of this, he felt the scabbard in his hand getting a little hot. That was the result of Xiao Hao being beaten repeatedly.

"Later...we tricked him into joining the Star Boxer Program..."

The subordinate continued to speak, and what he said further expanded Zhou Xiao's understanding of black-hearted businessmen.

"What is the Star Boxer Project?"

"The star boxer plan is..." Before the subordinate could finish his words, the old man Scott spoke first:

"Star boxers are those who our club has chosen as having potential, and then we train them with a lot of money!"

A large sum of money... to train?

If someone else said this, Zhou Xiao might believe it, but if Scott said it, he would definitely not believe it. After all, Scott is a black-hearted businessman.

"Is what he said true?" Zhou Xiao asked the subordinate.

The other party first glanced at Scott, who looked at him with a warning look, as if he couldn't say a word more, while the former's long sword was waving brightly in front of him.

It is clear at a glance which is more important.

"I'm sorry, boss..." In order to save his life, the subordinate blurted out the star plan.

After hearing this, Zhou Xiao's face became terribly gloomy. He never expected that Scott would use the gimmick of Kun Fengzhe to create such a money-sucking cycle.

He didn't expect that the people he fought in the ring were all the best in the star boxer program...

The little money he earned from being beaten was all used up by Swart to support his star boxer plan... Not only did he not make any money, he ended up owing a lot of money and even lost his life.

This is just Xiao Hao. It is hard to imagine how many people Scott has cheated with his Kunfengzhe gimmick.

Zhou Xiao let out a long breath, and there seemed to be a gloomy feeling in his heart that he couldn't get rid of.

"How should I evaluate you, Scott?" He looked at Scott as if he were looking at a dead person.

"Evaluation?" Scott was very unhappy when he heard this:

"What qualifications do you have to judge me?"

Perhaps because his reputation was exposed, Scott stopped pretending.

"Why are you pretending? You seemed pretty happy when you got the money! Everyone has the right to criticize me, but you don't! You have the same dirty money on your hands as I do!"

"Aren't you looking for someone responsible for Xiao Hao's death? I'll tell you! Xiao Hao died in the club, and you who took the money have nothing to do with it!"

Every word Scott said was heart-wrenching and struck Zhou Xiao deep in his heart.

really...

There is indeed no escaping the relationship.

If he hadn't taken the quick money and fought in the black ring, perhaps the star boxer plan wouldn't have happened, and Xiao Hao wouldn't have died...

...

Everything that happened recently reminded Zhou Xiao of a sentence:

Human desires are like rolling stones on a mountain...once they start, there's no way to stop.

If he hadn't enjoyed the thrill of making quick money, if he had been able to control his desire that was taking root and sprouting like a big tree, then... nothing would have happened.

Zhou Xiao silently took out the money he had just taken from Scott from his pocket, added it to the remaining money he had received before, and the credit point salary card he received from the train, and he barely collected all the money he had received from Scott from the beginning to now.

Then it was sprinkled in front of Scott...

...

ps: please help me with my book shortage...

Chapter 36: Order! Control the Lower Zone! (First Update!)

The sky full of banknotes and gold coins was like a sudden rain, and under the illumination of a weak light, it looked so dreamy and extravagant.

Under the sky full of banknotes, Zhou Xiao suddenly understood the meaning of self-discipline. Self-discipline does not mean that you should stick to one thing for a long time, but it means to control yourself and keep your nature in this world full of desires.

At this moment, Zhou Xiao seemed to understand why his self-discipline value had decreased a lot during these days in the lower area.

His heart is no longer pure.

...

"I'll return the money to you. As for this so-called star boxer plan, this is the end of it."

Zhou Xiao gently held the scabbard that Xiao Hao had customized for him, and his heart seemed to be pulled out of this world full of desires, as if this scabbard not only hid the blade, but also hid his greed.

"..." Scott, who was hit in the face with money by Zhou Xiao, was stunned at first, and then an extremely presumptuous smile appeared on his old face:

"No way, it's not true that if someone returns the money, everything will end! Without you and me, there will be others who will benefit! Even without me, Fight Club and the star boxers will still exist in another way!"

Yes.

Scott is right.

Underground, no, it should be said that wherever there are people, there is humanity.

When a person has a small house, he will want a bigger house. When he has a bigger house, he will want a large piece of land. He will try every possible means, including but not limited to extremely cruel and righteous methods, to plunder all the resources he can get.

Human nature is desire... and wanting to suppress human desire...

Zhou Xiao thought of Swarovski in his mind. He remembered that Swarovski said that if they wanted to protect the lower level area, they would have to use extremely powerful force to make everyone suppress the ugliness of human nature.

He was a little disdainful at the time, but now it seems...the rational results calculated by the supercomputer do make sense.

Zhou Xiao looked at Scott; the latter's mocking smile seemed a little irritating to him.

In this case...

...

【Om—】

In an instant, many of the mechanical settlement's automatic soldiers seemed to be controlled, and their electronic eyes turned completely red.

[The authority controller is changed to Dr. Zhou Xiao]

[Complete the current command, control the lower area...]

[Execute command...]

The mission objectives of these automatic robots were all changed without exception, and a large number of automatic robots rushed from the mining area towards Panyan Town and the Fighting Club.

A large number of automatic robots came out in droves, which was a unique shock.

"What happened?! Where...where are you all doing?!" Clara looked at the group of automatic soldiers running away in confusion, and no one paid any attention to her.

"Sure enough... variables are variables, full of uncertainty." Swarovski also walked out of the castle at this moment. He could tell that many of the automatic robots under his control were now out of his control.

These uncontrollable automatic robots all have one obvious characteristic, that is, they have been treated by Zhou Xiao, the cyber doctor.

"Mr. Swarlow..."

"Come on, Clara, let's go and see."

...

On the fighting club side, Xier was still waiting outside the fighting club for Zhou Xiao to leave, but before Zhou Xiao left, the three-armed mechanical body that came with Zhou Xiao outside the door, which was no less powerful than Swarovski, seemed to have received some summons, activated its weapons and rushed towards the club.

Due to his huge size, a large crack was visible on the door of the entire club.

"Jarvis has taken over the Fight Club. No one is allowed to leave without permission..." Jarvis's voice unit made a sound, and everyone and the mechanical bodies in the Fight Club were a little confused.

"Something bad happened!"

Xier outside the club felt something was wrong, and hurriedly took out her sickle with a new handle and rushed in.

"No trespassing!" Jarvis said when he saw Xier was about to break in.

"Get out of the way!" Xier wanted to find Zhou Xiao. She felt that all this was definitely related to Zhou Xiao.

This will set you free~ This will set you free~

After a series of powerful attacks, she still couldn't break through Jarvis's defense. After Zhou Xiao's transformation and upgrade, Jarvis's three hands were very agile and he could always sneak attack her...

“What a hassle…”

Xier was still planning to give it a try, but a fellow member of the Dihuo group called her from a distance.

"The boss asked us to go support the mining area..."

"?" Xier raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Support the mining area?"

Xier glanced coldly at Jarvis who was blocking the door, and then ran towards the mining area.

...

Inside the fight club.

Scott listened to the noise and bustle outside suddenly disappear, and knew in his heart that he could not escape the disaster today, so he continued with the mentality of trying to deal with Zhou Xiao before he died to see if there was a glimmer of hope:

"What's the point of killing him? Even if you have great power, you couldn't save that Xiao Hao, and you can't change anything!"

"Why don't you continue to cooperate with me! You have the strength! I have the brains. We can dominate the lower district, no... the entire Beroberg!"

"So, your brain is in good shape?" Zhou Xiao's long knife cut open Scott's neck without any warning. As the blade went deeper, the brain tissue gradually emerged. Zhou Xiao took a look and found that the so-called good brain was just so-so.

"Brother...Brother, this really has nothing to do with me!"

Seeing Zhou Xiao being so cruel and ruthless, the little brother who had just burst out with information fell to his knees with a plop, shaking all over, and was so scared that he peed his pants.

He just wants to live...

Everybody wants to live.

Zhou Xiao thought about it and did not kill him, but let him leave. He ran out tumbling and crawling, and the sound of a howitzer exploding was heard.

Zhou Xiao suddenly remembered that it was Jarvis outside who had issued an order not to allow anyone to leave.

Very sloppy.

But...let's just die.

Judging from the man’s behavior just now, he didn’t quite believe that he hadn’t killed many people.

Zhou Xiao glanced at the dim little house and the blood-stained banknotes all over the floor. The pungent smell of blood filled the house, but he still felt nothing in his heart.
