I'm the boss because I have a harem of anime characters.

The supercomputers on Free Earth are all ternary, but they are compatible with binary servers. The relevant software was written by Beizhai and Xiaozhai. However, high-performance coolant could not be manufactured, so they simply disassembled it into a bulk mode. Each bulk module was wrapped with a large amount of coolant, exchanging quantity and contact area for quality.

To complete this task, Bei Zhai and Xiao Zhai didn't sleep for three days and three nights. If it were an ordinary person, they would have fallen asleep long ago. Only the bodies of superhumans made them not mind working such a long shift.

Fun fact: Qin Shan's record for consecutive days of work was half a year, when he was at the seventh level.

Here's another little-known fact: After becoming a superhuman, even a first-tier superhuman, their sleep time will decrease to less than three hours within a week, and they can control their brain to enter deep sleep anytime, anywhere.

It is clear that the gap between extraordinary individuals and ordinary people is indeed very large, and their work efficiency is not on the same level at all.

Qin Shan's purpose in orchestrating all of this was very simple: to get the people to spontaneously seek out the real enemy, then protect the brave among them, and expose those worms to the light of day, forcing governments around the world to take action.

What if they really go all out and become shameless?

My friend, this is incredibly embarrassing in public. If bureaucrats and capitalists around the world openly act shamelessly, wouldn't that be tantamount to indirectly helping the proletariat unite?

Look, take a good look. This is the true face of bureaucrats and capitalists. Don't be complacent. In their eyes, you are nothing.

Of course, there will inevitably be lackeys in this process (witnessing the diversity of the human species), but as long as the resistance can gather to a certain size, it can create a terrifying snowball effect. The live broadcast will bring the truth to light. If those bureaucrats and capitalists do not treat the lackeys well, it will make other proletarians realize that surrendering will not end well, and thus they will become more united.

If they were to truly take those lackeys who support them seriously, it would be like spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones. Whatever price you pay them, shouldn't you pay me the same price, or at least not by too much? Otherwise, it would be double standards in raising dogs, which would cause resentment. If they continue to offer such concessions, sooner or later the bureaucrats and capitalists will find it unbearable. All that hard-earned money is being given to the poor—what a waste!

When they flip the table, things will immediately revert to the previous point, and everyone will enter PUBG mode, the class conflict war of Season 3, the kind that's all-out.

Many of the world's problems stem from the unfair distribution of resources. It's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality. Overt double standards can be more damaging than nuclear bombs.

As for covert cleanup, settling scores afterward, or being shot in the back and committing suicide, my friend, we'll expose and keep an eye on all of that. You try it if you dare, and see if you can act faster or if the live stream exposes you faster.

What's even more crucial is that the live stream can be broadcast globally, with real-time translation into various languages ​​and even audio explanations. This serves as another form of literacy education and knowledge sharing, and can turn any country's embarrassing issues into international news.

This is truly embarrassing, even internationally.

Family scandals should not be aired in public. Now that family scandals are being aired in public, what do you think the central government's reaction will be? What do you think other countries' reactions will be? Do you think any country's government would dare to remain completely silent?

What? You dare? You're amazing! Keep it up, and I look forward to the day you get hung on a streetlight.

"Come on, let the storm rage on!"

While admiring the various reports and exposures on the live stream forum, Qin Shan said to Saratoga, who was far away in the United States, "It's time to make things happen, let's take action."

Section 58: The abacus beads all popped out.

If you want to find the most suitable breeding ground for evil gods on Earth, the United States is obviously a perfect fit, because there are too many shady things happening here. Lolita Island is just the most superficial of countless obedience tests.

What those high-ranking, powerful people do in private is far more exciting than a mere Lolita Island.

Such a place is obviously very suitable for the Dragon of Desire to descend. Putting aside everything else, those noble gentlemen who are terminally ill and have entered the countdown to their lives will absolutely not be able to refuse the invitation from the Dragon of Desire.

Even if the price of July is everything for them, it's worth the gamble to delay death by even a second.

They might even fantasize about truly mastering this extraordinary power and then turning the tide against the dragon of desire.

Since they have such a "grand" dream, Qin Shan naturally has to fulfill it.

Morgan was a perfect candidate. He was already terminally ill, and doctors predicted that he would have at most a year to live. But now, in his eighties, he felt full of energy.

The contract from the Dragon of Desire allowed him to say goodbye to his terminal illness and possess a body that looked old but was actually young, just like when he was twenty years old. From the depths of his soul, all that rose were hormones of impulse and desire.

Today, old Morgan got out of bed, patted the model's thigh, and then left satisfied amidst the admiring gazes of the three models. That's what it means to be vigorous even in old age.

The superhuman's body is amazing; it makes him spin and glow in Pennsylvania.

"Sir, breakfast is ready."

"Ah."

Old Morgan nodded, walked to the dining room, and began to enjoy a hearty steak breakfast.

Eating such greasy food so early in the morning?

Yes, that's just his hobby. When he was young, Morgan loved meat, but as he got older, his health didn't allow it, so he could only eat bland food. Now that he's regaining his former glory, he naturally wants to make up for all the time he missed.

While cutting the steak, old Morgan casually asked, "Have all the goods I ordered arrived?"

The butler replied respectfully, "Yes, sir, everything has been delivered."

"Remember to clean it up properly."

"As ordered."

Old Morgan's basement held many unspeakable secrets, but now, those secrets have all become one thing—a sacrifice.

He was not a superhuman. Obtaining the superhuman power bestowed upon him by the Dragon of Desire came at a price. Only by offering a certain number of sacrifices each month could he maintain his current body. If he violated the contract, the Dragon of Desire would take his soul as compensation. After all, the Dragon of Desire's high-interest loan would never lose money.

According to the standards set by Qin Shan, the Dragon of Desire will only choose targets with strong desires. The Dragon of Desire that came to Earth has desires for power and money. Ordinary people do not have excessively strong desires for these two things. Just as people cannot earn money beyond their comprehension, even if ordinary people rack their brains, they cannot imagine what real ways to make money look like. If they cannot understand, they cannot reach it, and naturally they do not meet the standard of being targeted by the Dragon of Desire.

So the question arises: who has the strongest desire for money and power? The answer is self-evident.

This is tantamount to forcing the powerful to kill each other, using your life to achieve my extraordinary status.

Morgan hesitated at first. After all, slaughtering the common people was easy, but killing the propertied would easily make headlines, and even disappearances were deadly. But when real supernatural power flowed into his body and he felt that irresistible power, he finally decided to sacrifice his friends rather than himself.

However, to avoid the worst-case scenario, one must proceed with caution in such a potentially dangerous situation. Once one has gained enough power through the Dragon of Desire, one can turn the tables. Even if not, one can hunt offerings in an even more arrogant manner.

He even came up with a clever idea: to find some people to keep around under the guise of cultivating successors or outstanding talents, so that they could be exposed to the world of the powerful and wealthy, and cultivate their desire for money and power, and be sacrificed when needed, which would greatly increase the safety factor.

However, this kind of training cannot be done overnight; it takes a long time. For now, we can only use existing resources as a substitute.

These powerful and wealthy people are all shrewd scoundrels with brains. They are always thinking about how to obtain the greatest benefits in the safest way. When their ancestors were fighting hard, they had nothing and risked their lives. Now that they have a large family business, it is not appropriate to continue fighting to the death. As a large conglomerate that has monopolized resources, they have plenty of ways to cultivate scapegoats.

So Qin Shan just let them take advantage of the situation?

NONONO, you don't understand Qin Shan enough. He witnessed more ugliness among the powerful and wealthy back then than the air these powerful and wealthy people breathe in their entire lives. He had long anticipated this and even deliberately left this loophole.

After all, whether the Dragon of Desire is satisfied with the offering is not up to Qin Shan's discretion. If the Dragon says that the person's desire is not up to standard, the sacrifice will definitely fail, and then the Dragon will give the standard for a satisfactory sacrifice.

Simply put, the sacrificial offering must understand true power and money. To put it bluntly, you must truly raise this person according to the standards of an heir, and the person being sacrificed must be a healthy, living person. If you secretly tamper with things, the consequences will be severe if you are discovered. Don't even think about secretly drugging someone to ensure that the Dragon of Desire doesn't delay its death.

This means that the sacrifices cultivated by the powerful and wealthy are truly outstanding talents who have received elite educations. Just when they thought their future was bright, betrayal suddenly occurred. How do you think they felt?

Then the dragon of desire will take them away after their sacrifice, preparing to devour them and say, "You have good potential," before giving them power and a chance for revenge, and changing their identity and appearance. Guess what will happen next?

The powerful and influential in various countries personally cultivate those who can bring about the end of their enemies, who are also the most troublesome, the most hated, and the ones who understand them best.

In this life-or-death revenge war, the original order of the powerful will collapse, but the scope of this collapse will not be large. After all, it is still equivalent to infighting among the upper echelons, and ordinary people will basically not feel anything. By the time they discover something is wrong, those who are supposed to die are basically all dead. In this process, the resources dispersed are absorbed by more middle and lower-level people, which is equivalent to a disguised concession. This is the effect that Qin Shan wants: infighting among the powerful, the damage is controllable, it does not affect the innocent, it destroys the original order, and it transfers the internal resources of the powerful. The whole plan sounds complicated, but in reality, it is just a supernatural power that can be recovered at any time, plus a few simple words from the Dragon of Desire, and then he can drink his happy water and watch the powerful perform a modern version of the ancient Roman Colosseum.

Those powerful and privileged individuals who thought they had gained new opportunities were unaware that they had become clowns on a stage, while the audience below had prepared their soda and popcorn, ready to enjoy the exciting performance to come.

After breakfast, old Morgan went to the basement and personally inspected the offerings.

Young people from other powerful families, or even direct descendants, are contenders for the throne.

The reason for this choice was mainly to mislead the target's family, making them believe that this was a conspiracy and assassination caused by a heated internal family struggle.

After all, brotherly harmony and respect were the norm in the Xuanwu Gate circle of powerful figures. Resources and interests were limited, and there could only be one person in charge at any given time. It was a standard zero-sum game where only the winner could take all, with no other options.

The people in charge of this matter were all close confidants of J.P. Morgan, essentially assassins in another sense. They were quite skilled at murder, robbery, and disposing of bodies. Their purpose in life was to help J.P. Morgan handle things that were inconvenient for him to handle himself.

American corporations generally have their own shady methods. Do you think those backstabbing suicides are orchestrated?

Of course, sometimes the FBI is willing to do things for the bosses as long as they are paid. After all, this is America, where many people are willing to sell their lives and souls as long as the price is right.

The sacrifice went very smoothly; the Dragon of Desire accepted the offering, and old Morgan felt his power increase.

"It's such a perfect feeling, I never want to leave."

But just as old Morgan stepped out of the basement, the old butler suddenly rushed over in a panic.

"Master, the young master has disappeared!"

"What!?"

Chapter 59: Good heavens! Extraordinary people have suddenly become rampant!

(Please give me some votes and comments, my dear comrades, (*~w))

Qin Shan already knew about what had happened to Old Morgan. These contractors were all under the spatial technology monitoring of Beizhai, but they themselves were unaware of it.

"Birds of a feather flock together, tsk tsk tsk."

Qin Shan watched the humanoid creatures' performance on the screen with a cold smile, or rather, this was their true nature.

The arrest of J.P. Morgan's heir was a very serious matter. However, after the initial tension, J.P. Morgan calmed down at an unimaginable speed. This was partly because he was rational enough to have seen many storms, and partly because the heir was no longer a particularly important matter to him.

In his view, having already become an extraordinary being, he would surely live as long as heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and moon. In that case, an heir would only take away his power. Even a prince like Prince Charles, who had been the crown prince for sixty years, was a troublesome power divider. In the future, he could simply put a target for an heir in the open, while he would still secretly hold the reins of power, or simply continue to control everything as the head of the Morgan family.

So the life or death of the heir is really not important. The reason that made him investigate, apart from a little bit of blood ties like cats and dogs, is that he suspects that Morgan's disappearance is related to the other contractors of the Dragon of Desire.

Morgan didn't believe that the Dragon of Desire had only one contractor. In his own investor mindset, he believed that one should never put all one's eggs in one basket, as this was the most basic guarantee of safety.

If the other party is indeed the contractor of the Dragon of Desire, then the purpose of capturing their successor is very clear—sacrifice.

Of course, it's possible that one of his heirs was simply kidnapped, but it's extremely unlikely. After all, Morgan Jr. has bodyguards, and the fact that the kidnapper was able to abduct someone without his bodyguards noticing fully demonstrates that the kidnapper has intelligence capabilities and on-the-spot handling skills at least on par with the Morgan family. These are things that ordinary people can't obtain. But if it were a superhuman, things would become very simple. In any case, the old Morgan himself had no fewer than nine ways to kidnap a powerful figure under layers of protection without alerting any bodyguards.

To determine whether it's kidnapping or an extraordinary individual, just wait a little while. Under normal circumstances, the other party will send a letter demanding money or making other requests within 24 hours. In short, there will definitely be further action.

If the other party did not take any actions similar to kidnappers, then it is highly likely that they are a contractor of the Dragon of Desire.

And so old Morgan waited for a whole day.

As a result, the Morgan family received no letters or emails, nor any hints whatsoever.

Old Morgan had already made his own judgment in his mind: the other contractors chosen by the Dragon of Desire.

His guess was entirely correct; the person who arrested Morgan was DuPont, one of the American conglomerates, the same DuPont that liked to give away tickets to make airplanes and let its competitors fleece the aerospace industry.

As one of the top ten conglomerates in the United States, DuPont certainly had the ability to kidnap the heir of the Morgan family, but under normal circumstances they would not do so, nor would they have any need to do so. However, now the DuPont family, or more precisely, the old DuPont who is also suffering from a terminal illness, has gained the favor of the dragon of desire, and in return, they need to offer sacrifices to prolong their lives and obtain that extraordinary power that is irresistible.

This has led to the current situation where Morgan arrested the heirs of other powerful figures, while DuPont arrested Morgan's heirs, and the two sides reached a consensus on the issue of sacrificing their heirs.

While Morgan Sr. was waiting for the results, Morgan Jr. had already been sacrificed by DuPont Sr.

On the other hand, having found the right direction, old Morgan began to use the process of elimination, searching for a miracle person who had been suffering from a terminal illness during this period, just like himself before, but was now gradually recovering his health.

Such people are not common in conglomerates, after all, not every conglomerate's boss is terminally ill to the point of having no other choice, which helped Morgan narrow down his target range.

After simply going through the situation of major financial groups in the United States in his mind, J.P. Morgan identified the DuPont financial group as the prime candidate.

Old DuPont is also dying, but the latest news is that a miracle happened after using a special gene therapy drug.

The miracle of gene therapy? It's probably more like a miracle of supernatural power.

So, after making some simple preparations, old Morgan went directly to visit old DuPont, and the two old guys met in person.

After a series of clever probing maneuvers, both sides confirmed each other's status as superhumans, and then, unsurprisingly, shook hands and made peace, forming a united front.

Is that strange?

Don't forget, superhumans like them no longer need ordinary successors. The life or death of their successors is insignificant. Only superhumans of the same level can communicate with them on equal footing. That's right, they clearly regard themselves as Celestial Dragons who have surpassed humanity. Since everyone is a Celestial Dragon, isn't it better to make money peacefully and exploit the common people together? There's no risk involved; they can't risk their lives, because how can they make money if they do?

So the matter of the heir being sacrificed was quickly put aside by old Morgan. Old DuPont and he were as enthusiastic as if they were about to get together. The two quickly established an alliance between superhumans. In their view, their relationship was a contract between gods of the new era, which was already greatness that mortals could not understand. In this process, it was normal to sacrifice a few mortals. Even their own family heirs, as long as they were not superhumans, were pawns that could be sacrificed at any time.

This isn't even a true superhuman; they've merely become fake, temporary superhumans through the so-called power of a contract. These old-fashioned streetlight ornaments are already dreaming of an everlasting empire.

You're not going to act anymore, huh? Ugh, disgusting, utterly disgusting!

In this way, the DuPont and Morgan financial groups effectively built a closer cooperative relationship. As for other large financial groups, as long as they do not have their own superhumans, they are destined to be eliminated in the future.

Equals? Please, who do you think you are to speak to me without kneeling down!

"So, the two major American conglomerates have now become allies."

Saratoga was somewhat unhappy, feeling that he had messed up his operation; instead of fighting amongst themselves, the enemy had united.

"Don't be discouraged. This is normal practice between conglomerates. The probability of them fighting to the death is extremely low, provided that we don't continue to push this matter."

There are also conflicts among capitals, and these conflicts will increase exponentially as resources decrease. Being able to tolerate it now does not mean that you can shake hands and make peace when core interests are involved later.

After all, the Dragon of Desire has the right to decide whether the offerings are qualified or not. So with a simple operation, the number of qualified offerings on both sides can be made scarce, forcing conglomerates to compete for them. When the bigwigs on both sides are on the verge of death, even if they know that they will face the same fate in the future, dying later is better than dying sooner.

This is just one way to stir up conflict. Don't forget that the sacrifices themselves can also be objects of conflict, and the sacrifices they cultivate in the future will be even more so. To put it bluntly, when this game started, these people had already become pawns on the chessboard. They do not understand or master extraordinary power, and they are destined to be crushed by the extraordinary power.

At this moment, Lexington walked over and said, "Admiral, regarding the discussion about sharing domestic researcher quotas with the United States, the Central Committee's opinion is that it will not consider it."

Qin Shan nodded: "That's normal. This topic is currently in the spotlight, with many eyes watching it. Moreover, there are numerous reports and accusations within the country, and officials at all levels are feeling insecure. They don't have the extra energy to seek benefits for their beloved motherland right now. They should be going into a period of incubation."

Bureaucrats are all greedy and cowardly. The Soviet revisionist bureaucrats during the Cold War were even more cowardly than the American imperialists. Otherwise, the American doomsday threat theory would not have made the Soviet revisionists so cautious. If Stalin had been present, the more the United States did not want the Soviet Union to do something, the more the Soviet Union wanted to do it. The main message would have been "I am not afraid to perish with you," and then the United States would have been the one kneeling and trembling.

Looking at the development of World War II, isn't that the true attitude of various countries under the threat of life and death?

History has proven that it is impossible to smoothly transition to the communist stage by relying solely on bureaucracy and capital; a brutal, almost suicidal internal revolution is necessary to thoroughly eradicate these problems.

If we don't want such a cruel history to appear in Earth's history, then the simplest way to deal with it is to let bureaucrats and capitalists fight each other to the death for power and profit, while exposing their ugly behavior during the infighting, and then let the awakened people make their own choices.

If we can still make the wrong choice even at this level, then humanity might as well perish; there's no hope left (lying down).
