Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!
Chapter 680 Knowing How to Play Dumb
Any comments?
Xia Yiyi naturally had a lot of opinions about Bai Ling's irresponsible statement of taking advantage of others.
"Why?! Why do you claim all the best places with just a few words?! What are we lacking?! Why aren't we in charge of Asia, Africa, and Europe, while you go to those godforsaken places like South America, North America, and Australia?!"
Xia Yiyi certainly had reason to be angry.
It's obvious, after all, that the center of the world is in Asia, Africa, and Europe!
What about South America, North America, and Australia?
No matter how abundant the resources and products are, if it's still a remote corner of the world, it will never be able to compare with the center of the world.
Otherwise, the Americans wouldn't be so worried all the time, fearing that the most important countries in the world's center would unite and exclude them.
Therefore, Xia Yiyi not only had opinions, but also very strong opinions, and she simply had to get them off her chest.
However, Bai Ling also had something to say.
“We are different, and this is something I can’t help. After all, we are not like you, with so many powerful ships and cannons, able to go wherever we want. With our limited naval power, we can only operate around our own doorstep at most; we can’t go far.”
"Besides, South America, North America, and Australia aren't much worse than Asia, Africa, and Europe, are they? Don't you always say that Australia is an inseparable part of you? Perfect, perfect for you to use as a source of raw materials!"
“Perfect timing. There aren’t many decent tribal governments left in that area, let alone indigenous people. You can go there and plant your flag there, making that place your permanent territory. They can’t possibly object.”
"Looking at it this way, you've actually made a profit! Honestly, I'm a little envious of you! Unlike us, with so many fellow villagers and so many mouths to feed, all waiting for us to serve them. When you think about it, how much of it actually ends up in our mouths? Don't you agree?"
At first glance, what Bai Ling said seemed to make a lot of sense.
But you can't judge this thing by its appearance alone!
"Yes, in the short term, the environment over there does seem much better than here, and development is much easier. But in the long run, does that place have the same development potential as here?! Sister Ling, you're a respectable person, you can't just lie through your teeth and try to fool me with nonsense!"
Good heavens, I've only just begun.
Whether it's Xia Yiyi or Bai Ling, they don't even know what the world of Water Margin is like, yet they're arguing fiercely over territory.
This is not what Ximen Lang wanted to see.
Especially after he saw Xia Yiyi and Bai Ling argue for a long time without reaching a conclusion, he directly turned his attention to him and asked him to judge the matter.
He was completely overwhelmed, and Ximen Lang immediately spoke up.
"Deal with them? Deal with them my ass! You don't even know what's going on over there, and you're already yelling about dividing up the world! Seriously, are you even trying?! Don't you even know what's important right now?!"
Upon seeing that Ximen Lang was angry, both Xia Yiyi and Bai Ling immediately became obedient.
Yes, the priority now is to quickly rescue the common people there from the Liao, Jin, and Song dynasties, as well as numerous bandits, so that they can stop suffering.
Under this premise, all other short-term goals and long-term interests must give way to this premise!
This was not only because the other side was like the world of Beijing and the world of later generations, where people shared the same blood and ancestry, but also because it was Ximen Lang's will!
But Ximen Lang's will is above all else!
So, almost immediately, as soon as Ximen Lang expressed a hint of dissatisfaction, Xia Yiyi and Bai Ling immediately became obedient.
They were all incredibly virtuous, understanding, and considerate of the bigger picture.
I expressed my opinion at the time.
We will strictly follow Simon Lang's requirements and implement them as soon as possible to ensure the personal safety of ordinary people there.
Xia Yiyi and Bai Ling have both made their stance clear, so Ximen Lang certainly can't continue to argue with them.
Drop a sentence.
"Relax~ This is just the beginning. I will definitely continue to explore more worlds later. By then, even if we send all the people there, we still won't be able to explore them all. It's just a Water Margin world, what's there to fight over or rob?"
Xia Yiyi and Bai Ling were completely enlightened by what he said, and for a moment they really didn't know what to say.
They were deeply shocked by Ximen Lang's almost omnipotent golden finger, and also felt ashamed that the two of them had argued so heatedly over such a trivial matter.
That really shows how narrow-minded it is, so narrow that it's unbearable to look at.
Then, I figured that since things were already like this, there was no point in hiding anything anymore.
"Let's just say it directly," Xia Yiyi said.
"Ah Lang, look, Sister Ling has been playing with it comfortably for over a month, and she's been showing off to me for just over a month. You're the fairest and most impartial person. Sister Ling has it all, so you shouldn't leave me out! At least give me one, so I can help you guys share the burden."
In fact, from the very beginning, from the moment Ximen Lang saw Xia Yiyi's hesitant expression in the guard camp, or more accurately, from the moment Bai Ling's abilities were completely exposed to Xia Yiyi with his tacit approval, Ximen Lang had been waiting.
What are you waiting for?
Wait until Xia Yiyi completely breaks down, then she can talk to herself.
He had always prepared to assign one portion to each of them, so that they could each manage a section.
After all, we can't favor one over the other, can we?
Whether it's Xia Yiyi and Bai Ling themselves, or the world they represent, they are all family, they are all home.
Since both sides are equally loved, Ximen Lang naturally had to treat everyone equally and take everyone's feelings into consideration.
This will also prevent things from getting out of hand over such a small matter and causing everyone to be unhappy.
Unfortunately, Xia Yiyi never brought it up.
Ximen Lang also wanted to see how long Xia Yiyi could hold out.
Therefore, even now, Ximen Lang has not equipped her with the same ability as Bai Ling.
At this moment, Xia Yiyi, who could no longer hold back, finally couldn't help but speak up, and her words were full of sourness, envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Having satisfied his perverse sense of humor, Ximen Lang couldn't help but tease him.
"Little brat, I thought you could hold out for a while. How about it, you can't take it anymore, can you?"
Then came the problem.
"Sure, of course, no problem. But your reason for wanting to share my burden is clearly untenable and won't convince me. You have to show some commitment, otherwise, this whole charade will put me in a difficult position, don't you think?"
In the end, Xia Yiyi finally got what she had always wanted: a cheat ability just like Bai Ling's.
However, the price she paid to demonstrate this so-called attitude of Ximen Lang was inevitably extremely heavy.
After all, satisfying Ximen Lang, this increasingly inhuman super beast, is no easy task.
So afterwards, I stayed in bed all day. The troops had already reached Wusongkou, which was also the last stop of our trip, Songjiang Prefecture.
Xia Yiyi's condition improved slightly after that.
Then, she was completely bogged down by her incredibly busy work schedule.
As for this, Ximen Lang, who was looking forward to strolling around Songjiang Prefecture and visiting the home of the famous actor Zhang Yi (who played Zheng Chaoyang in Glorious Era), was naturally very dissatisfied.
Therefore, once Xia Yiyi started making phone calls, the calls never stopped, and the more they dealt with the issues, the more problems arose.
Ximen Lang snatched the phone from her, which seemed to never end, and also grabbed Bai Ling's notebook, which she was still writing and drawing in, and threw it out the window.
This infuriated Xia Yiyi and Bai Ling, who had been busy all day.
One sentence.
"What are you doing?! Why did you throw it away?!"
I couldn't help but complain out loud!
Seeing that the two still had the nerve to say that, Ximen Lang said irritably.
"What are you doing?! What are you doing?! What are you doing?! I gave you a cheat code, granting you unparalleled strength and status, and this is what you're doing?!"
"You guys have to do everything yourself, even the smallest things? What are you good for? Hao Pingchuan, and that Gao Cheng, what are they good for? Are they just sitting around doing nothing?!"
As they were talking, Ximen Lang mentioned himself.
Hao Pingchuan, who hadn't heard clearly, ran over to Ximen Lang's side with a trot.
He shamelessly started licking it.
"Brother Lang, I'm here, I'm here, Brother Lang. Just let me know if you need anything, and I, Lao Hao, will definitely live up to your trust and make sure I get things done perfectly!"
That's incredibly licking.
Even with Ximen Lang's thick skin, he almost couldn't resist Hao Pingchuan's flattery.
Despite the awkwardness, Hao Pingchuan was right about one thing.
That means if there's something you need, he really can get it done!
Even if they can't do it well, the people behind them will definitely be able to.
So, as soon as they saw Hao Pingchuan arrive...
Ximen Lang immediately called to Hao Pingchuan, asking him to pick up the small notebook from the ground.
He didn't care what was recorded in the notebook or what the problem was.
Ximen Lang asked directly.
"These are some things Ling'er was just dealing with. I don't care about anything else, I just want to ask you one thing: are you sure you can handle these things?"
Hao Pingchuan didn't actually know if he could handle it well.
But as I said before, if he can't do it, there's still Lao Luo.
With Lao Luo's intelligence and experience, he certainly won't have any problems.
Therefore, the answer was remarkably straightforward.
Hao Pingchuan immediately patted his chest and made his statement.
"Yes! If Brother Lang says it's possible, then it's definitely possible! I'll go and get it done right away, and I'll make sure it's handled perfectly! Is there anything else you need me to do?"
"That's all, get lost!"
Hao Pingchuan, who was being licked so much that it was almost unbearable, was driven far away. He picked up Xia Yiyi's phone and then called Gao Cheng over.
Pointing to the number Xia Yiyi had just been on the phone with, Ximen Lang said bluntly.
"You should know whose number this is, right? And you should know exactly what those things we need to deal with are, right?"
Gao Cheng has always considered himself a local of Beijing.
Therefore, when he saw that Ximen Lang had taken Xia Yiyi's phone directly and asked him these questions, he was surprised.
As was his habit, Gao Cheng simply pretended to be deaf and dumb and continued to act as if he didn't know.
"Brother Lang, you know me. Although I went to university, I don't really understand this kind of high technology. So, I don't know."
Even at this point, Gao Cheng is still putting on airs.
Ximen Lang slapped Gao Cheng on the shoulder, causing Gao Cheng to stumble.
Ximen Lang said bluntly.
"Stop pretending! I know exactly what color your underwear is, what nonsense are you spouting?! I'm giving you one more chance to rephrase your statement, do you even understand that?!"
Since Ximen Lang had already said so much, Gao Cheng's backbone, Sister Yi, also nodded and touched her forehead, giving enough hints.
What else is there to say?
Of course, we should admit it as soon as possible.
"I know. Of course I know. But Brother Lang, I have my reasons for this. I didn't mean to lie to you."
"Whether there's a reason or it was intentional, I'll figure it out myself. You just need to sort these things out first. If you do, everything will be fine. If you don't, that's perfect, I still have a tigress there, the kind with cubs! Get ready, you can sleep with her tonight!"
What the hell?
tigress?!
Or is it the kind with kids?!
If I were to sleep with it for a night...
Can I still have a good life?!
There might not even be a bone fragment left!
Gao Cheng is not as brave and valiant as Ximen Lang!
Therefore, after realizing that his sister Yi Yi couldn't save him and it was impossible for her to save him, Gao Cheng immediately followed Hao Pingchuan's lead and busied himself with these matters.
After doing all this, Ximen Lang turned around and spoke earnestly to Bai Ling and Xia Yiyi.
"The more you do, the more mistakes you make, my two little darlings. Do you even know that you are no longer ordinary people? You already hold the lifeline of two realms, and you are involved in every little detail of the work."
"What exactly do you want? Are you not busy enough, or are you living too comfortably? Wouldn't it be better to just be a respectable person, a boss lady with high pay, low workload, close to home, high position, and low responsibility? Why do you have to make yourselves suffer?"
"Can't you guys learn from me? Pretend to be confused all the time? As long as the general direction is right, why do you care so much?! You need to learn to play dumb, understand?!" (End of Chapter)
