Chapter 315: Desire Ranch, Strange Request
Brody is one of the common homeless people on the streets of Dieter.
He had a leather jacket that had scratched a hole but was basically complete; he had a messy hair and a beard with his upper lip that had not been shaved for a long time, and he almost covered his mouth; he had a pair of casual running shoes he had picked up on his feet, which looked like a pair of brand-name running shoes.
Although overall, he looks no different from a normal person, he can still see his down-and-out look at him carefully - however, there are so many such people on the streets of Dieter, and no one will look at him more.
The Black Jack neighborhood was once Brody's place, and all his possessions were two thick clothes, a ragged quilt and an old dog named Huck.
Every day he would go to the bustling city center to beg for money. Regardless of whether he could get money or not, he would be blessed with the overall social development of Citigroup. At least it would be no problem to pick up some food from the trash can - some of these foods were only expired and they were not even opened.
Sometimes he also does some thieves or robbery. Don't expect Brody to have a good moral of "poverty and humbleness". Even if this thing is the hometown of a saint who says this, it is a rare virtue.
However, just over two months ago, the Black Jack neighborhood where he was in was acquired by the Gray Wolf Gang and he was driven out.
Of course, this is no big deal. There are too many empty rooms in Dieter City, and you can find many of these empty rooms in any dilapidated apartment.
However, it is not only close to the bustling city center (only where can you find food conveniently), but also has doors and windows, and there are not many empty rooms with complete structures. If apartments in this area are complete, someone will rent them and will naturally not be abandoned.
So, he has been active near the Black Jack neighborhood during this period.
But yesterday evening, after getting some food from a prosperous area in the city as usual, his dog disappeared.
This made Brody very anxious. A homeless tramp like him, the dogs were their only family. After thinking about it, Brody had to go back to the Black Jack neighborhood, where he used to live to try his luck.
What if Hack (his dog's name is Hack) is separated from him and goes back to his old place?
Brody had to venture back to the Black Jack neighborhood to find his dog.
The process of sneaking into the Black Jack neighborhood was very smooth. Although the Grey Wolf Gang patrols a lot, they were not enough to cover every corner. After all, only factories with equipment installed are the key patrol targets. Who would be interested in such a dilapidated house that is located in corners and is not much bigger than a doghouse?
Huck found it successfully. The old dog was indeed back to where he lived. Although the house had been flattened, the doghouse that Brody made for it with cardboard boxes and torn clothes was still in the ruins. Huck was curled up in the cardboard boxes and sleeping.
Just as Brody was planning to take Hack away from here while no one was paying attention, an accident happened.
A large amount of light white substance flowed from all directions like a tide.
These strange things instantly drowned Brody and his old dog Hack. However, just as Brody was about to struggle for his life, these pale white substances seemed to be uninterested in them and retreated from them.
"Fuck, what the hell is this?"
Brody whispered, of course, this question was destined to be unanswered. In order not to disturb the people of the Gray Wolf Gang, he had to quickly pinch the old dog Hack's mouth, for fear that it would scream.
Brody took Huck around a low wall, then grew up and could never close her mouth again.
It was past three o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was supposed to be dark here, but now he saw a soft light.
In front of Brody, there was no longer a piece of ruins and steel beams and pillars. On the contrary, he was standing on the milky white ground, with a white passage about ten meters wide in front of him.
Brody quickly looked back and saw that the ruin he walked out had been covered with white matter, like a small white hill.
Then, the hillside leveled down at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the bricks, stones and wood were eaten by these white substances.
The walls and ground were formed in front of him, and there was a vast white area in all directions, as if he was the only one person and a dog left in the whole world except the white walls, ground and ceiling.
Brody felt scared.
"Hello." A voice was speaking.
"Who? Who? Who are you? Where are you? Where is this?" Brody held the old dog Hack tightly, and her head whirled around, trying to find the person to speak.
But the surroundings were white except white. Even though this soft white was not dazzling, such monotonous white really made Brody suspect that he had gone to heaven.
Although life is not very good, Brody hasn't lived enough yet.
"Your name?" the voice asked.
"Brody, my name is Brody Hack. This is my dog Hack. He shares a surname with me. Who are you? Where is this?"
"This is the pasture of the Lord of Desire, the place of hope for mankind." The voice replied.
"Lord of Desire?" Brody has heard of the name, or in the past few months, there have not been many people nearby who have not heard of theLord of Desire.
As the master of this area, the Grey Wolf Gang's behavior suddenly undergoes earth-shaking changes, and it is impossible not to attract attention.
The reason for this change is said to be because the entire Grey Wolf Gang believed in the Lord of Desire. This Grey Wolf Gang seems to have many precepts, which regulates all aspects of life. Some people really do it, and some people can't stand it and leave the Grey Wolf Gang.
Now, the number of thugs in the Gray Wolf Gang has decreased a lot, and the nearby poisonous insects and Black Snake Gang are eyeing each other.
If the Gray Wolf Gang hadn’t invested a lot recently, these gangs would have wanted to extend their power and annex the territory of the Gray Wolf Gang.
But isn’t this Lord of Desire a fictional evil god, but a real god?
"Brody, do you want to be a ranch resident?"
"Uh, who are you?" Brody's fear calmed down slightly. Since someone could speak and was willing to communicate with him, it means that things were not that bad.
“I’m the ranch executive, you can call me ‘Twenty-Nine’.”
"Well, Lord No. 29, can you please explain to me what the ranch residents are? If you find it troublesome, forget it." Brody hugged Hack tightly and asked carefully.
"No trouble, this is my responsibility. Brody, human beings have developed to this day, have a relatively stable social order and social wealth beyond any previous era. However, darkness is hidden in the light, and the dark side of human nature is unprecedentedly strong. These darkness and desires of human nature awaken our Lord from the depths of the sea of consciousness."
The voice was plain and shocking, and Brody was creepy when he heard it - this was the rhythm of the great devil awakening by humans? How could his little body withstand such a tall and noble scene? By the way, it is hard to say whether he is still alive, maybe he has lost his little body.
"My Lord and the Holy Lord are one side. The Holy Lord is the sacred in the light of human nature, and the Holy Lord is the spirit in the dark of human nature. The common wish of our Lord and the Holy Lord is to lift the flame of human civilization and promote the progress of civilization."
Brody let out a long sigh.
It turns out that this "Lord of Desire" is still a positive character, which scares me to death. If this falls into the hands of the evil god, maybe even the soul cannot be saved, and death is not the end.
"Our Lord came to the world and did not guide human beings with spirit like the Holy Lord; our Lord believed that desire is the main driving force for human progress. Liberating human desires and guiding humans to realize desire in a legitimate way is the right reason for human development!"
"However, among all human desires, the only thing that can be considered a legitimate reason without any dialectics is the desire to survive; on the contrary, if human desire for survival is satisfied, no other desire can be obtained in an unjust way."
“My Lord’s ranch provides all the essential products of human survival, such as food, drinking water, sanitation and basic recreational facilities, all of which are provided in welfare.”
There is also such a good thing? Brody is half-believing and half-doubting.
Even the unemployment benefits of the Citi federal government have a certain time limit. When Brody was unemployed, he only received three years of unemployment benefits, and then it was cancelled.
"Sir No. 29, what do I need to do?"
"Nothing you need to do, human beings should enjoy the most basic freedom. In today's world, employees have the freedom to choose employers, and employers also have the freedom to choose employees; but to the end, due to survival pressure, employees who do not have the ability to self-production can only choose this employer or that employer, and the freedom option does not exist to not accept employer exploitation."
"The Lord of Desire believes that in the desires produced by human beings, distortions of life pressure should be avoided. Only human beings are not affected, desires from the heart are the desires that our Lord wants to see, and desires that are distorted by life pressure are not what our Lord wants to see."
"Brody, will you stock up on air for future breathing?"
"Uh, no."
"If you had food that you could get at any time and could never finish it, would you stock up on food?"
"Won't."
"If you have enough living space and can customize the house as you wish at any time, do you need to occupy extra houses?"
"unnecessary."
“If you can get convenient and comfortable transportation at any time, do you need to own a car yourself?”
"Uh, this one is not needed." In fact, Brody still wanted to have his own car, but this Admiral No. 29 obviously didn't need this answer, so Brody expressed his attitude very consciously.
"My Lord believes that the productivity of modern society has the ability to unconditionally provide all necessary factors for human survival. Therefore, the time for human beings to obtain true freedom is ripe.
Therefore, our Lord established a hope pasture on earth to herd human desires and generate hope from desires!
However, the only thing is the necessary condition to become a resident of my main ranch.”
A slight fluctuation finally appeared in the voice of No. 29.
"The rise of the flame of human civilization requires the strength of everyone, and the wisdom of everyone is the fuel of the flame of human civilization. To be a member of the Lord's desire pasture, we must always study, train our minds, and let our Lord see your shining spark of wisdom!
The more knowledgeable a person is, the more dazzling the spark of wisdom it bursts out. Therefore, the first priority of my master's people is to study hard! Brody, would you like?"
"What-?" Brody was completely confused.
Even if you say that after death, a person's soul will return to the Lord of Desire, Brody is mentally prepared and ready to agree at once.
After all, it is very rare to not only manage meals for free, but also online entertainment. Even if you go to church to receive communion, it only once a month, and people don’t care about three meals a day.
With such good conditions, so what if you betray your soul? Anyway, who knows what happens after death?
But what the hell is it that insists on studying at all times? Is this the slogan that often appears on TV on the campus of Oriental Asian Community Primary School - "Study hard and improve every day"?
Madan, if I can persist in studying all the time, I can still fall into the stage of a homeless man?
"Sir No. 29, I-I do, but what should I do if I can't study well?"
"It's okay, learning is the requirement of our Lord's attitude towards life, not a requirement of grades. Under my Lord's seat, based on the contribution to human civilization, human beings will be divided into several levels according to their contribution and enjoy different treatments."
"What will be the treatment of that Lord No. 29, a person who is incompetent like me?"
"The basic living conditions can still be met. However, in addition to lower knowledge, higher knowledge such as unified field research field, high-energy physics research field, mathematics research field and other related knowledge will not be open to you."
Huh——, it’s best not to open, it’s best not to open. Listening to these names, Brody felt that his hair was about to stand up. If he opened up this knowledge and forced himself to learn it, he wouldn’t have to be brain dead!
"Mr. Twenty-nine, I am willing to join the Desire Ranch and become the Lord's people."
"Then, this is your residence! Choose your room form."
Just before Brody's eyes, a transparent floating screen appeared out of thin air, with house layout and furniture options appearing on the screen.
"————" Even if this is not a god, it must be an alien civilization at least, right? Brody suddenly felt a lot more confident, and he still had some doubts about things like gods.
After all, some cults are bragging about it. It is like creating the universe like a backhand, and destroying the world is like a game. The promise made by the "Lord of Desire" is not very mysterious and does not look so high.
But I can't resist it, but I really take out something! With this technical level, do you think a liar can make it?
Although Brody is a homeless man, he is also a homeless man in a big city. Is there any knowledge he should have?
With this technology, you can easily exchange it for hundreds of millions of Citi coins. Brody himself doesn't believe it if he uses this level of technology to tease him, a homeless man.
