Chapter 29, what happened to the puppet?
When Gu Hang said that he should use these abscess monsters as a source of food, he really wasn't talking nonsense.
He really thought so.
If you have a choice, of course normal food is better than anything else. But in this wasteland, the production conditions are like this, and the number of people who can feed them is limited, so don't we have to find every method?
Eating well is always more important than eating well.
Of course, it is possible to extract this technology from the [Technology] panel. But the mechanism in which the probability of shipment drops sharply after lighting up a technology once makes the quota for each technology precious. If given the choice, Gu Hang did not want to obtain this technology from the [Technology] panel. He prefers to use normal means to achieve his goals.
His eyes looked to the sky.
A certain force on Raging Owl may have mastered similar technology. However, Gu Hang has never been seen near Fuxing City, which means that even if this technology exists, it is far away and difficult to use. Secondly, synthetic starch technology is probably very precious on the wasteland planet, and those forces will not hand it over casually.
Instead of spending that much effort on it, it would be better to go to the Quintet and get it done.
There are hundreds of thousands of people living on a giant starship like the Quintet, and there is not always an opportunity to land for supplies, especially during missions. They must have the technology to recycle almost all available organic matter.
Thinking of this, he coughed twice again and thought a little embarrassed: "I just got two hundred sets of equipment and four armored vehicles from her last time. It doesn't feel good to go and get new technology today." ?”
"Then I won't ask her today. I'll ask her tomorrow."
Gu Hang felt much relieved when he thought about this.
Gu Hang, who was now happy, hummed a tune and waited for Dennison Henry, a merchant from Garbage Town.
……
Denison Henry finally met Governor Gu Hang.
After a careful search, he was brought to the door of the Governor's house.
This is just a board house. Apart from being larger, it doesn't look fundamentally different from the board houses built next to it where slaves live. There is no special decoration and no expensive materials are used.
The guard pushed the door open, and Henry walked in. What he saw was all simplicity.
There was no special decoration in the room, just an ordinary long table. A young-looking man sat at the other end of the long table.
That should be Governor Gu Hang.
Your Excellency, the Governor, is quite out of tune with the environment in which he lives. The side is so simple, but the clothes on his body are so exquisite. But this difference became negligible because of the governor's calm attitude towards this simple environment.
Henry didn't dare to observe any more.
He lowered his head and came to this side of the long table. He did not dare to sit down, but put one hand on his chest and then bowed deeply.
Maintaining his bowing posture, he said humbly: "My name is Denison Henry, from Garbage Town. I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to the Governor. Your speech when you landed on this planet was so thunderous that I I deeply understand that you came to this dying planet with great ambition and compassion to save our subjects. As a resident of the Raging Star, I admire your nobility."
A rainbow fart was slapped firmly.
While talking, Henry also took out a beautifully packaged box.
"When I learned that I would have the honor to meet with His Excellency the Governor, I was extremely excited and determined to prepare a gift for you to express my respect for you. Unfortunately, time was too short, and I only had this small gift. I hope your Excellency the Governor will not mind.”
He continued to bow, holding the gift box with both hands and raising it above his head.
The guard next to him came up, took the gift from his hand, and brought it to Gu Hang. Gu Hang didn't even glance at the gift box, his eyes were always on Denison Henry, with an interested smile on his lips.
"Get up, your waist will break if you continue like this."
Henry straightened his back as he said.
"Sit down and let's have a nice chat."
Only then did Henry dare to sit down.
Gu Hang knocked on the table and said, "Denison Henry, I already know your purpose of coming."
Henry said cautiously: "Please, Your Majesty the Governor, give me this opportunity to serve you."
Gu Hang chuckled and said: "You are good at talking, and I am very satisfied with your attitude. I know that what you say may not necessarily be what you really think, but I don't care. I can leave this business to you, But I have two conditions. First, when I give you the goods, I will also give you what I need. You must bring it to me in good quality and quantity, without any discount.”
The first half of Gu Hang's sentence, so-called 'may not be sincere', made him feel a little uneasy. But the last sentence made him happy in an instant.
Obtaining the right to act as an agent was in itself his biggest request when he came to meet the Governor this time.
As for the latter request, in Henry's opinion, it was no different than giving it for free. That can't be regarded as a request, but another great gift given by the Governor. Of course he had to pay for the goods, and looking at it now, he could still get the money back through the business of helping the governor purchase the things the governor needed.
Could this still be a bad thing?
He did not hesitate and nodded directly: "No problem! I am willing to serve the Governor!"
Gu Hang waved his hand and said: "I have a second request. You need to expand your influence in Junk Town as much as possible and become an agent, even a big agent."
Hearing this second request, Henry calmed down a little.
Seeking to become one of the agents of Garbage Town is his goal in itself. It stands to reason that the governor's offer of this condition does not conflict with him, so he should be happy.
However, he believed that he was not stupid and would not fail to understand the hidden meaning behind the request.
With the support of the Governor, he became an important agent in Garbage Town, and then what? Who has the final say, is he himself or the governor who is his boss behind the scenes?
But he quickly put this hesitation and entanglement behind him.
It’s baffling to think about these things.
There is a thigh stretched out in front of you, don't you want to hug it?
What's wrong with being a puppet? How many people want to be one but can't.
And he's not necessarily a puppet. If he works seriously for the Governor, doesn't he have some power of his own? The Governor has a lot of things to do every day, but when he is in charge, don’t he have to make the final say on matters concerning a small garbage town? At most, the goal is to achieve the Governor's goals and follow the Governor's footsteps, which is natural!
What's more... no matter how harsh the words are, it's not certain whether he will be the governor or not in two years.
Thinking of this, he saw the half-smiling expression on Gu Hang's face, and immediately he didn't dare to think any further.
I always feel like I will be seen through.
