Empire: God System

The night in Yunshen City is as sparkling and bright as ever, and the whole city bursts out with vitality in the middle of the night that cannot be seen during the day.

In such a night, Landry, whose schedule is very similar to that of a nocturnal creature, did not fall asleep. He used his two forearms to support the guardrail of the balcony. Not only was his head lowered, his eyes were dull, and the whole person seemed a little melancholy. and dull.

In fact, Landry wasn't unable to sleep simply because of his schedule. After rescuing Hal, he didn't have anything to deal with to stay up late. The reason why he didn't sleep was that he came out to the balcony to breathe fresh air. , mainly because I was in a bad mood.

If Landry's current state is described in a modern way, it would be late night emo.

The rescue of Hal during the day did not bring much encouragement to Landry, although he did feel inspired for a while after the successful rescue. He was able to rescue his good brother from the hands of the empire with the largest military strength in the world. Although the other party was indeed tortured for a while, there were some things that could not be doneThe injuries are recovering, but overall the opponent's injuries are not fatal. Whether it is letting Hal regain his freedom or successfully challenging the difficulties, the sense of accomplishment should be exciting and inspiring enough.

But this excitement did not last long. After calming down and having dinner, Landry quickly slumped down. After night came, he fell into an unprecedented depression.

There was nothing to be busy with. Landry, who was going to go to bed early and take a rest, just lay on the bed like that. He was very busy and tired during this period, but he couldn't sleep at all. The more he lay down, the heavier he felt, and even I couldn't even breathe smoothly, so I just stopped sleeping and went out to the balcony to get some fresh air.

In fact, this kind of heaviness and depression is completely symptomatic. The main reason is that during the rare earth robbery, Landry really saw another world in the powerful mysterious man, although it was only the tip of the iceberg. , but it also made Landry realize that this world seems not to be limited to the boring and tiring world he has seen so far. There is another side to this world, an exciting and unimaginable side.

At the very beginning, Landry, who had no contact with the mysterious man, just knew that the life he was currently living was something he didn't like, that it was rotten and tired, that it was worthless and meaningless, but he also didn't know what he expected. What kind of life do you like.

But the rare earth robbery case where he met the mysterious man really made Landry feel a different emotion. Although his contribution to that case was not much overall, let alone indispensable, But Landry could still feel the excitement and excitement that he had not experienced for a long time during that physically exhausting racing process.

Although that operation would not normally be that thrilling, it was mainly because he took the risk of exposing his whereabouts in order to ensure Hal's safety, which attracted the attention of the empire, and then he fell into such a dangerous situation.

But when Landry looked back on the experience of escaping from the joint siege by the imperial military and police, he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in his memories. It was more intuitive and three-dimensional than any drag racing competition. An experience that made his blood surge with excitement and made him feel like he was really alive.

This is what Landry realized in that incident. Maybe not everyone has the same thoughts and pursuits. Indeed, many people like to live a calm and indifferent life, but some people just need a lot of stimulation. life.

For the latter, what flows in their lives is the blood of passion, and what they need is to pursue excitement and challenge the limits of mankind or the world. For them, experiencing that bright and beautiful moment may be better than their own All lives matter.

Landry forgot where he heard a passage, which vividly explained the thoughts of this kind of people:

"Do you want to live your whole life like this for decades, or do you want to live that day with everything you have?"

There is no doubt that they chose the latter. Living a life like this for decades is an indescribable disaster for them, and trying their best to live that day is a gift. Moreover, it is not true that they can only live for that day, but in There is only a risk of death during the process.

This is not to say that such people do not need to rest, but if they are allowed to rest all the time, it will be a kind of torture for them.

This is similar to some beasts, according to human beings From a rational perspective, the animals eat and sleep every day in the zoo. There seems to be nothing wrong with sleeping and eating. What a leisurely and enjoyable life. Apart from the big issue of privacy, there is not much to worry about, but In fact, there are many beasts that grew up in the wild when they were young but cannot stand the seemingly carefree environment. What they need is freedom, not regular and rationed food and countless sleep every day.

There is no freedom. Otherwise, this dull life will actually make them depressed and extreme.

As for Landry, his life is a little worse than that of the caged beast in the zoo. Not only does he not like the environment he is in , he is not yet able to achieve the so-called leisurely life. In order to make a living and for his own hobbies, he has to stay up late every day to make money, and then he has to deal with some gang affairs during the day, which makes him very tired, but this fatigue has no effect on him. To bring about any substantial changes in his life.

Indeed, he will get a lot of money from staying up late every night to go racing, and he will also get a certain amount of income from dealing with gang affairs during the day, but this money can only allow Landry to survive in his current life. Although his life is better, he can drive a better car and eat better food, but the essence of his life has not changed in any way. He is still the little person without any weight. Even if he dies, he will not give this The world will bring any disturbance.

This is also the reason why the mysterious man chose himself and Hal as the targets of use. Because the two did not have the strength to refuse, even death would not bring any difficulties to the other party, so after the incident, Lan Only then would Landry thank the other party in his heart, because the other party not only spared the two of them from death, but also gave him a reward.

This gave Landry a feeling that the other party still regarded him as a human being.

I have to say, this was too much. Small, too humble.

Regarding his living situation, Landry thought of another sentence:

"There is no meaning in living, and there is no value in dying."

Although Landry initially felt that continuing like this was not an option, especially since it was getting harder and harder to make money through racing, it was really difficult to find a new and stable way to make money. It can be said that Landry was confused and numb during the time, and could only be said to be muddle along.

But after meeting the mysterious man, meeting Luther, and actually participating in the rare earth robbery, Landry not only felt that he had regained his He came back to life, but he also saw a new direction and a new goal.

Although after that incident, Landry was either busy evading wanted persons from the empire, or he was busy preparing and carrying out the assassination of Hal. The rescue plan was too busy for him to take into account, and he even selectivelyForgot.

But when all the busy things came to an end, the worries and annoyance that could not be completely solved came to haunt Landry again, this time even more intense than before. At the same time, the brand new Goals and a new way of life follow like ghosts.

If it had been before, Landry wouldn't have been so disappointed.

When people in the darkness have never seen the sun, they will never realize how painful they have been in the past.

The same goes for Landry. Before he participated in the robbery and met the mysterious man wearing the mask, he really didn't know that there was such a way to survive.

After this incident, Landry truly realized that the efforts he had made during the previous period were largely anesthesia for himself. It was unrealistic to change his current living situation just by staying up late and racing every day. The actual hallucination is just an illusion.

When Landry was lying in bed, he reviewed his recent life. After reviewing, he found that the kind of life he really wanted could not be achieved with money alone, so he My racing career during that period was actually somewhat of a pseudo-effort.

What is pseudo-effort? That means I am busy and trying to do a lot of things, but it has no actual effect.

Although Landry made a lot of money by racing, it gave him the opportunity to buy better cars, and it also brought him into contact with many people whose class was far above his own. To some extent, it was more It improved his knowledge, but none of these allowed him to truly change his level of life.

In conclusion, Landry's efforts to stay up late and race every day have no direct effect.

But fortunately, my racing experience spread my excellent driving skills to the ears of the mysterious man wearing a mask, making the other person realize that I might have good driving skills, a gang background but no really important identity. The value of using it means that one's efforts are not completely in vain. Although this needs to be classified as an indirect effect under the influence of luck, it can be regarded as having an effect in the end. This can be considered a kind of comfort.

The reason why Landry believes that the money he earns from racing alone is of little effect and cannot change anything is because his class is only at the gang level. Even if he gets the money, there are only a few things he can think of and do. Buy better racing cars and car accessories, but a modified car and good driving skills can't turn a gangster into a world-class agent, even if you count the iron brothers who are like family members.

Take this operation to rescue Hal, for example. Although Landry has a large amount of cash given by the mysterious man wearing a mask and a large bag of high-quality diamonds stored here, this money and diamonds Landry are not. If he can't spend it, he can't find a way to spend it.

Apart from mercenaries and small submachine guns whose lethality was not much different from that of pistols, Landry really couldn't find any better equipment.

In this state, if the empire does not really want to protect others and rescue Hal, and only needs to equip the remaining imperial personnel with weapons and body armor that are normal enough according to the configuration of the imperial army, then itself and Most of the mercenaries he brought with him may die, and they may not be able to save them in the end.

This is why Landry was so surprised after killing all the Imperial guards in the warehouse where Hal was located. He did not expect it to go so smoothly.

In other words, the fact that I was able to rescue Hal this time was entirely dependent on the cooperation of the Empire. It was based on the other party's charity. It was the Empire's desire to release Hal in a reasonable way. This was because I had done it in advance. It doesn't matter how much preparation you have. If you don't save him, maybe the Empire will release Hal directly.

So not long after rescuing Hal, Landry's excitement and excitement disappeared.

On the contrary, he felt a little humiliated and bored.

After Landry meditated for a long time on the balcony, he made a preliminary summary of his current status. What he needs now is an opportunity to improve himself, and if he wants to improve himself, he needs a platform to display his talents and gifts. What is needed is an opportunity to show yourself, which is also an opportunity for"those people" to discover themselves.

As for who"those people" are, of course they are those with higher levels and status.

Not only do they have a higher vision and various channels, they can alsoWhen you simply tap into your own talents, your abilities and personality will be comprehensively improved.

To put it simply, they are people who can completely change the life trajectory and lifestyle of this little gangster.

To be honest, of course the Empire can do this. Needless to say, their vision and channels, they also have too many ways to transform a talented genius into a master who can truly exert his effect, but Landry does not He doesn't think much about the Empire. This is of course not because Landry looks down on the Empire. In fact, no one with talent will look down on the Empire, because the Empire can be said to be the organization that values ​​talents the most. They give Hesfer Empire There are many talented people within and ample platforms to develop and showcase themselves.

Not only people within the Hesfer Empire, but also many people from abroad who have talents but can't find room to perform will choose to come to the empire.

This is a paradise for the strong.

The main reason why Landry didn't consider the Empire was because he didn't think the Empire would want him. Although the Empire valued talents, after what happened to him, the Empire probably wouldn't choose him, and their subordinates who valued talents very much would definitely There is no shortage of people, or in other words, there is no shortage of people to the extent that we need ourselves.

My so-called talent has not reached the level necessary for the powerful empire to lower its head and negotiate with myself in a semi-hostile state.

What he was really thinking about was whether the mysterious man and the organization behind him had recruited him.

Yes, after Landry had many encounters with the mysterious gentleman wearing a mask, although Landry himself was indeed very afraid of him, on the other hand, he did recognize him and the organization behind him.

In Landry's view, the organization was not only rich, powerful and powerful, but also very smart. It was a promising organization, at least that was what the mysterious man wearing the mask revealed.

The most important thing is that among the qualified organizations he knows, except for his own empire, which is almost impossible, the only one left is the organization behind the mysterious man. If Landry wants to enter a circle of this level, he There is no other choice.

So here comes the question. In the eyes of the organization behind the other party, I should currently only belong to the position of being exploited. How can I, the"exploited", get their recognition and be included in the organization? This is a question. Quite a serious question.
