Chapter 217. Expanding the Fools' Society

Xie Yan decisively shook her head and said:
“I have no interest in a rotten, empty shell.”

She held up one finger and gestured:

"What interests me is His Excellency Qin Xuan, the Commander-in-Chief of the War Alliance."

Jiang Jianxin exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"

She had never actually met the commander-in-chief of the war alliance in person; she had only heard her voice from Yin Ju when she first entered the base.

The woman's voice was crisp and clear, giving the impression of a very capable person.

Her promotion to the position of elder in the medical department was at Qin Xuan's behest. In the eyes of outsiders, she was probably half Qin Xuan's person.

Why are you interested in Qin Xuan? Does she have any special abilities?

Jiang Jianxin asked.

Xie Yan explained:
"Chief Qin is not a member of the War faction; she actually belongs to the Chaos faction."

"It is said that the world she sees is different from others, and everyone shines with a different light depending on their talents and abilities."

"And she can assign subordinates according to the different radiance, thus knowing how to use people well."

Jiang Jianxin hadn't expected that the Supreme Commander of the War Alliance was from the Chaos Faction, and with such abilities.

She slapped her thigh and belatedly asked:
"No, then why did she put me in the medical department—am I being cheated on?"

Jiang Jianxin felt that the elders of the medical department should at least be compassionate and empathetic, rather than wielding a blood-stained sword like she did.

The decision to assign her to the medical department was a huge shock to her, and she still doesn't understand Qin Xuan's intentions.

Xie Yan was also a little unsure, and she paused before saying:
"I heard the medical department is quite greedy, maybe General Manager Qin thinks you..."

She glanced at Jiang Jianxin, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Jiang Jianxin hissed:
"The corruption in the medical department was the Song family's doing; I didn't embezzle a single penny."

"I've only been in office for six months, and I'm not familiar with many things. I also dare not change the old rules of the medical department."

Jiang Jianxin said honestly.

She's good at fighting, but she lacks management skills and can't come up with a good system to replace the old, outdated ones.

Anyway, the medical department was still standing under the old system, so Jiang Jianxin just let it be.

She disagrees with classifying her as a corrupt and treacherous official, because she didn't gain any benefit from it at all.

"...Perhaps General Manager Qin has his own reasons."

Xie Yan said frankly.

"The reason I came to you this time is actually to ask Sister Jiang for a favor."

Xie Yan cupped her face and said sweetly.

"Just tell me, and I'll see if I can do it."

Jiang Jianxin said.

"Once the war of the Restoration Army against the War Alliance begins, the first to be affected will be the Dawn Base and the Sunrise Base in the south, which happen to be under the jurisdiction of General Qin Xuan."

"Most of General Manager Qin's power has long been usurped by those two covetous deputy directors. With the turmoil at the Southern Base this time, General Manager Qin may be held accountable and forced to step down."

Xie Yan spread her hands and gestured again:
"I asked Sister Jiang to help me by protecting Commander Qin Xuan. If the War Alliance is destroyed, I want her to be escorted to the Fool's Society."

Jiang Jianxin understood Xie Yan's meaning, but she still repeated:
"Escort Qin Xuan to the Fool's Society?"

"Are you trying to bring Qin Xuan to your side and then give her an important position?"

"Yes, that's right."

Xie Yan said confidently.

"I need Chief Commander Qin's ability to quickly select talent; her joining the Foolish Society will be a great help to us." Xie Yan paused, then added:

"Because of the unique nature of the Fools sequence, which requires the construction of information cocoons, many Fools cannot find each other, making it two to three times more difficult for us to recruit Fools than for other factions."

"The release of the genius drug by Black Eye Pharmaceuticals means that a continuous stream of new fools will be born."

"We fools have been silent for so many years, it's time for us to unite in this chaotic world."

Jiang Jianxin keenly sensed the smell of gunpowder:

"Does the Fool's Society... also want to expand its territory?"

Xie Yan smiled wryly:
"The Fool Society didn't even have a territory before, so how could it expand?"

"The War Alliance has four major bases, the Dream Pavilion has thirteen ideal cities, the Rose Group has nationwide transportation routes, Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals has three major mental hospitals, and the TV station has branches all over the world... Only our Fool Society is on par with them, yet we have nothing."

Xie Yan gave an example:
“We only have two gold shops and one jewelry store in our offline locations. Because we have too few people, we can only use one location to accommodate the attendees when we hold a meeting.”

"The root cause of all this is that it is too difficult to find fellow fools. We are scattered in various places like a heap of loose sand, and we have not been able to unite well like other forces."

Jiang Jian thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

Only those who have suffered psychological trauma and become mentally unstable can become fools. Novice fools, due to severe psychological problems, find it difficult to communicate with others, let alone seek out fellow fools.

If a high-level fool like Xie Yan doesn't come up with a solution, then the "dispersal" of fools will become the fundamental reason why the Fools' Society cannot develop.

"So you want to recruit Qin Xuan into the Fools' Society and use her abilities to find fools for you, thereby strengthening the Fools' Society."

Jiang Jianxin asked.

“Yes, if the War Alliance collapses, Commander Qin Xuan will have nowhere to go. Rather than joining other monopolistic forces, it’s better to come to the Fool’s Society. We are similar in nature to the War Alliance—although we are a large force, we do not have monopolistic means and rely on the cultivation of talented individuals.”

Xie Yan said slowly.

Jiang Jianxin thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"I understand, I will help you. But I can't guarantee that I can get Qin Xuan out. The upper echelons of the War Alliance are also very complicated. If things really get chaotic, I don't know if I can make it in time."

Xie Yan smiled easily:

"I heard that Wen Yu asked you to help find Lord Heping, so he gave you AI command privileges second only to him."

“I asked Wen Yu, and he said that the central system of the War Alliance is now completely controlled by A Yu.”

"As long as there is internet and signal, Ayu can help you."

Jiang Jianxin was speechless:

"Uh, Yu... is he that fast?"

Xie Yan said calmly:
"The War Alliance's system was already controlled and monitored by the TV station. Only the Dream Pavilion's super artificial intelligence could resist it."

"Ayu's computing power is beyond imagination. With the full force of the War Alliance, it would be easy for him to quickly take control of the TV station."

Despite the fact that it was his own forces that were suffering, Jiang Jianxin strangely showed no reaction.

She thought it might be because she discovered the true nature of the War Alliance as a hollow shell as soon as she joined.

This is like joining a company, only to find out before you've even tasted the promises the company makes, that the company is going bankrupt.

From then on, I spent every day thinking about how to switch jobs more respectably, and I had absolutely no sense of belonging to the company.

Jiang Jianxin sighed and said:
"That's not bad. With A-Yu's help, things should be a bit easier for me."

She said somewhat awkwardly:

"Actually, I'm a little envious of Qin Xuan, who gets to go to the Fools' Club."

"If the War Alliance collapses... I don't know where I can go."

Xie Yan looked at her intently and asked:
"So...would you like to join the Fools' Club?"
