"Purpose? I should have said that."
Rika Furude blinked and said, "Of course, I want you to stop developing Hinamizawa."
"That's it?"
Wang Quan's question left Furude Rika confused: "What else?"
"Compared to the existence of the second Reincarnator, the development of Hinamizawa is nothing!"
Wang Quan looked at Gu Shou Lihua and said word by word, "Don't you have any bad thoughts about me?"
Furude Rika asked in confusion, "You and I didn't know each other before. If you hadn't wanted to develop Hinamizawa, we wouldn't have even met. Should I have any bad thoughts?"
"Shouldn't there be?"
Wang Quan hesitated and said, "After all, if someone changes history first, then those who follow will suffer greatly from facing an unfamiliar history. So, in theory, the best approach would be for you to tie me up and imprison me in the basement to prevent me from continuing to profit from my knowledge of history. Why are you looking at me with such horror? Isn't it true?"
"..."
Furute Rika crossed her arms to protect her chest and breathed coldly as she said, "Reincarnators must never become enemies! Do you know how terrifying it would be if Reincarnators turned against each other, even trying to kill each other?"
Wang Quan asked uncertainly, "How scary is it?"
"Once a reincarnator is killed, they will return to the past. The killed reincarnator will then be reborn in the past and go kill another reincarnator. Then the other reincarnator will be reborn in the past and kill the reincarnator. This cycle is like an Ouroboros that devours itself, and it will only trigger an infinite chain of tragedies."
Wang Quan frowned frivolously, looking at Furushe Rika thoughtfully and said, "I've only reincarnated once, so I'm not sure if I'll have a second chance. But the way you're talking about it is as if you've already reincarnated more than two or three times."
"I don't know how many times I've been reincarnated."
Rika Furude picked up the teacup beside her and said calmly, "Because I want to prevent my spirit from being overwhelmed, I lose part of my memory every time I reincarnate. Is it the same for you?"
"If you say so..."
Wang Quan rubbed his temples. "I did forget some things, which is why I feel like there's a sense of déjà vu about so many things in this world, but I can't recall them at all. Luckily, I remember three things: first, how unsuccessful my past life was, and second, how to pursue glory in this life. Just remembering these three things is enough."
"You only mentioned two things."
Rika Furude looked at Wang Quan in confusion.
"The third thing will make people think I'm a picky eater, so I don't want to talk about it. But since we're the same kind—"
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Quan said cautiously to Furute Rika, "Don't get close to the mushrooms, or you'll end up in misfortune!"
Elementary School Students' Team Building Travel Destination: Chapter 39: Tea Party among Reincarnations
After chatting with Rika Furude, a senior among the reincarnations, for a while, Wang Quan encountered his first problem.
How should I address the reincarnation master in front of me?
Judging from the height, the other party is only 10cm shorter than me, and judging from the age, the other party is even younger than me, but the age and appearance of the reincarnations cannot be generalized, so what should I call the Furude Rika in front of me?
"It doesn't matter."
Furude Rika said casually, "But I don't mind if you use a more respectful title."
"Then this old lady..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a puff of mist hit him. Wang Quan picked up a towel beside him and wiped the tea stems from his mouth. He looked at Furute Rika who was coughing violently and said, "I'll still call you classmate. So, Rika-classmate - why are you stopping me from developing Hinamizawa?"
Furude Rika covered her lips and shook her head at Wang Quan, saying, "Hinamizawa appears to be just an ordinary village on the surface, but in fact, there is a disease lurking here called Hinamizawa syndrome. It indiscriminately infects all outsiders, and the symptoms make outsiders become extremely aggressive."
"Is it that serious?"
Seeing Wang Quan pondering, Furude Rika added, "Of course, Hinamizawa syndrome has been effectively treated, and the pathogen that causes it has been completely eradicated. However, the village elders' mindsets are unlikely to change anytime soon, so the overall atmosphere in the village is very xenophobic, so..."
"So you don't want me to develop Hinamizawa in order to prevent those old people from being disturbed, right?"
Wang Quan interrupted with a strange expression, "Lihua, do you know how many connections I had to make to get this project? How many channels I opened? And now you want me to quit?"
"I also know that my request is excessive."
Furude Rika lowered her head and said, "But that's my hair..."
"No problem."
"what?"
Rika Furude looked up at Wang Quan in surprise.
"I said, I can give up developing Hinamizawa."
Wang Quan shrugged and said, "Actually, I just need a secluded place to store some things that are not easy to see, such as munitions and veterans. Such a place can be Hinamizawa or somewhere else. If I give up this opportunity and become friends with a senior reincarnation like Rika, it would be a great deal."
Furude Rika blinked, looking at him in confusion. "Of course we're friends, after all, you're the only one of our kind I've found so far. But what does 'earn' mean?"
"I mean, of course, there are a lot of areas where we can collaborate in the future."
Wang Quan said as a matter of course, "For example, that big piece of cake from the Soviet Union. To be honest, with my current abilities, I can only get a small portion of the cream. But if I can join forces with Lihua, who has been reincarnated for a hundred times, we will definitely be able to eat enough to fill our stomachs!"
"mum……"
Furude Rika looked at Wang Quan in astonishment: "Before I came here, I also thought about what you would want from me, but I really didn't expect that you would just want to eat cake with me?"
"of course."
Wang Quan nodded affirmatively. "How can two people eat more than one person? Why? Lihua, don't you want to share the cake with me?"
As he spoke, Wang Quan stared at Furushe Rika intently, wondering in his heart whether this senior reincarnationist wanted to take the big cake of the disintegration of the Soviet Union alone and not share it with others?
But this is normal. If his strength allows, he will not share the cake with others.
He wasn't sure of Furuté Rika's strength, but the exaggerated figure of a hundred reincarnations was enough to illustrate the senior's unfathomable strength! He couldn't imagine what kind of monster would be born from a hundred reincarnations, at least thousands of years. However, using his own reincarnation as a reference to compare Furuté Rika before him, he felt a sense of awe for the blue-haired elementary school student before him.
"Mmm, of course I do."
Furude Rika said happily, "But don't you feel a little tired of eating only cake? How about some black tea?"
black tea?
Wang Quan was momentarily bewildered. He knew that when humans spontaneously formed a community, they would artificially encrypt their terms, like "yyds" and "juejuezi." Lihua's "drinking black tea" and "eating cake" probably referred to plundering a certain country, but which one? India?
Wang Quan thought about it and nodded approvingly so as not to be looked down upon. "That must taste really good... huh?"
A ringing interrupted him. He stood up, nodded to Rika Furude, and walked towards the landline to answer the call. When Rika Furude was wondering why Wang Quan specially invited her to have cake, she saw Wang Quan put down the phone with a strange look on his face.
"Rika-san, it seems I have a rival in developing the Hinamizawa project."
"opponent?"
Furude Rika looked at Wang Quan in confusion. Wang Quan nodded and said, "I wonder if you've ever heard of the 'Great Shocker Group'?"
"what is that?"
Rika Furude asked in confusion, "I've never heard of that name before."
"It's a long-established international economic organization. The Daishocker Consortium is involved in various traditional industries, including banking, mining, and transportation. Because of the wide range of industries involved, my companies occasionally come into conflict with the consortium. The relationship between Daishocker and me can be described as business competitors."
Wang Quan shrugged and said, "However, the title of established enterprise also makes their thinking very old-fashioned and conservative. So, until now, the Daishocker Group has only been able to defeat me by burning money in areas where they had an overwhelming advantage in early funding. But after my funding increased, the Daishocker Group has never defeated me even once."
As he spoke, Wang Quan stood up and took out the project book for developing Hinamizawa and handed it to Rika Furude. "My secretary just called to inform me that the Great Shocker Group was also interested in competing with me for the Hinamizawa project, but because I'm withdrawing from the project, the Great Shocker Group won without a fight."
"Forehead……"
Furude Rika said weakly, "Mr. Wang Quan, will this Great Shocker Group be as easy to talk to as you are?"
"To be honest, I don't know what this consortium is all about."
Wang Quan rubbed his chin and said, "So far, I've received several outright death threats from the CEO of the Great Shocker Corporation. I initially treated these threats very seriously and arranged for a lot of security personnel to protect me. But the strange thing is, the biggest physical injury I've suffered so far was a punch from Fat Tiger. The rest of the time, the Great Shocker Corporation was as quiet as a chicken."
Elementary school students' team-building travel destination: Chapter 40: Big Shocker is coming!
"Regarding the Hinamizawa development project...I wonder if our chief negotiator is confident that he can win it?"
In a dimly lit conference room, a man quietly asked another man who was fidgeting.
Listening to the question from the Daishocka Group executive, the thin man shook his head. "Mr. Executive, the market conditions have been truly bleak in recent years. To avoid making a mistake, I've withdrawn all my investments and blocked out all market news to focus on fishing. If you're asking about fishing, I still have some confidence."
"A very smart move."
The executive, wearing a double-headed eagle label on his chest and a skull mask on his face, nodded approvingly. "Not everyone can decisively stop when they sense danger. You're truly worthy of the title of Eagle of Wall Street. Entrusting you with the role of chief negotiator for this deal may be the best decision I've ever made, but..."
The skull-masked figure changed the subject and said, "Unlike you, who decisively withdrew in the face of dangerous market conditions, there is a group of funds that, in this tsunami-like market, are pouring large amounts of money into various industries like a gambler. The name of this fund is..."
"Return to the Foundation—Even though I've stopped, everyone in the financial world has heard of your name."
The chief negotiator's throat trembled, and he spoke with a stammer, "Although wealth and honor are sought amidst danger, which is the motto of our industry, in this era of bubble bursting, when everyone is in danger, the only ones who dare to invest large amounts of money in the market and repeatedly win are the Return Foundation. They are like reckless gamblers, constantly betting all their chips on a casino where everyone else is losing miserably, and with a ruthless determination to either go bankrupt or become a legend, they have won until now."
After saying this, the Chief Negotiator looked at the skull-masked man with trembling eyes and asked, "Why do you mention returning to the Foundation here?"
"Because that's our opponent this time."
The skull-masked man spoke slowly, "That's why we're hiring you with such a high salary this time. Take the Hinamizawa development project away from them, you Wall Street Eagle."
"I'm calling the Return Foundation?"
The chief negotiator's face trembled, and he kept taking out a towel to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead: "Are you kidding me?"
"What do you think?"
The skull masked man nodded and said, "This time I hired you, the Eagle of Wall Street, just to get this project from the Reversion Foundation - are you confident?"
The chief negotiator said with a smile: "Even if you invite the Wolf of Wall Street, and then the two of us go together, the chance of winning will not exceed 30%. Mr. Cadre, I will do my best, but I hope you don't have too high expectations for the result."
The skull masked man was about to speak, but a sudden movement interrupted him. He saw a luxury car passing by and stopping on the roadside outside the window. Then a large number of drivers in neat suits got out of the car, ran to the back seat and respectfully opened the door.
"Are you here? Return to the Foundation!"
The chief negotiator stood up nervously.
"Don't worry."
The skull masked man said calmly, "The only people here are local council members, some local businesses, and some minor figures like village heads and town heads. The real boss is still to come."
Just as the skull masked man said, local council members and local entrepreneurs walked into the meeting room and greeted the skull masked man with a smile, but the skull masked man just nodded and then stood in front of the window, staring intently out of the window, which made it difficult for the local council members and entrepreneurs who originally planned to sit down to sit down and had to stand.
"Mr. Cadre."
The chief negotiator looked at the skull-masked man hesitantly and lowered his voice. "To be honest, confronting a fanatical gambler like the Reversion Foundation head-on will not lead to any good results. I wonder if Mr. Cadre has prepared some other means, such as..."
The chief negotiator put his pinky, middle finger together, raised his thumb, and pointed his index finger to make a shooting gesture.
But for some reason, the chief negotiator noticed that the Daishocker Group executives in front of him had changed their expressions.
The other party was clearly wearing a skull mask, but at this moment the skull mask "came alive" and showed two expressions of anger and fear.
After a long moment, the dull voice of a Daishocka Group official was heard: "Mr. Chief Negotiator, you've just joined us and become one of us, so you might not be very clear about this. We've already fought each other."
"Have you already started?"
The chief negotiator looked at the cadres in astonishment.
"So far, our Great Shocker Group has dispatched twelve of our strongest assassins to deal with this guy who has been causing us trouble."
Looking out the window at the extended Lincoln approaching, the man in the skull mask gnashed his teeth and said, "Twelve assassins, and all we get is that damned kid still alive and kicking to fight us!"
"Is the other party's security too tight?"
The chief negotiator suggested, "I know some very capable gangsters, some of them are even sharpshooters who never miss a shot..."
The man's voice gradually faded away because the man in the skull mask was looking at him with mocking eyes.
"The power of our Great Shocker Group far exceeds your comprehension! The fighting skills and firearms of ordinary people are as ridiculous as elementary school students wielding twigs in the eyes of our assassins. Yet, even among these twelve powerful assassins, not a single one has returned safely!"
As he was speaking, the long black limousine slowly stopped and a group of drivers and security guards quickly got out. The open umbrellas blocked the view and also blocked the chief negotiator's focused sight, so he couldn't see the people getting out of the car at the first time.
But even just seeing the "umbrella" constantly approaching was enough to double his pressure. His opponent, or even his enemy, existed. But when he was frightened by the bubble and chose to retreat, he was the brave man who went against the current. The elites on Wall Street were full of awe and called this brave man who bravely forged ahead...
Click!
The door slowly opened. Amidst the stunned gazes of the local councilors, the enemy Chamber of Commerce, and the local elders, and the solemn gaze of the skull-masked man, the real owner pushed the door open and walked in. The chief negotiator, who had seen clearly, couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously, and looked again at Wall Street, who appeared before him, biting a milk lollipop...
A fifth grader?
Elementary School Students' Team Building Travel Destination: Chapter 41: Incompetent Seniors Should Be...
Gassho-zukuri, a type of wooden structure, is characterized by a thatched roof, resembling a human hand...
"Mia!"
The blue-haired girl happily described the scene she had witnessed to her friends in vivid detail: "I really wish Keiichi, Mion, and Reina could have gone there to watch the negotiation. Especially when you, Wang Quan, sat down and asked everyone to sit down, but that person in the skull mask refused to obey and chose to stand instead. The council members and village chiefs were left in a dilemma, unable to stand or sit. They could only practice half-squats like they were practicing ancient Chinese boxing, and they practiced for what seemed like an hour!"
"This is the posture adopted by cunning people in society in order not to offend either side."
Wang Quan looked around the seemingly ordinary house with a strange expression on his face. Finally, his eyes fixed on Furute Rika. After hesitating for a long time, he asked, "Is this your home, Rika?"
"Ah."
