Heroic Death System [BL]

Arc 12: I Am An Evil Pen (III & IV)

To Wen Jingrong's disappointment, the person before him had facial features this time but his face seemed to be covered by a layer of tulle. Wen Jingrong couldn't see his face clearly. Wen Jingrong stretched out his hand and traced his face gently. His brows, eyes, nose and lips... Warm breath brushed past his fingers. Everything felt so realistic. Wen Jingrong tried outlining his appearance in his mind, but wasn't able to imagine what his soul was like.

Shang Ke felt tickled by his touch and couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" For some reason, Wen Jingrong's mood felt better listening to his laughter.

Shang Ke was about to reply when he noticed the surrounding area starting to shake. He knew he was probably going to be forced again.

"Wait!" Wen Jingrong stretched out his hand to catch him but caught nothing.

Only a graceful voice was left in his consciousness: "Can you practice on your dreaming skills next time?"

Practice on my dreaming skills? Wen Jingrong sat on the bed with a light smile as he looked at the daybreak sky outside the window. Though Wen Jingrong still wasn't able to see his appearance, he already has a rough outline in his heart. He even got to hear his voice.

After a while, Wen Jingrong was expressionless again. What was he so excited about feeling for an illusory person in his dream?

Wen Jingrong lifted his blanket strongly and walked into the bathroom.

Shang Ke floated in the air. Entering Wen Jingrong's dream this time wasn't as difficult as the first time. It's evident that his practice all these while was effective. He might be able to condense into a physical body after he finishes converting all the negative energy into power.

Shang Ke hung on Wen Jingrong's sleeve as usual and followed him to his office. Wen Jingrong has business all over the planet involving many different industries. He started them from scratch. Although he couldn't be compared to those rich families, he had great capabilities and unique foresight. He earned money at the speed of a rocket, flying to the top in an instant.

He has a strong personality and is decisive and ruthless, making all his competitors fear him. There were many people who wished to kill him, but no one has ever been successful to date. Wen Jingrong was of great value. He has a good relationship with many important government figures and pays an astronomical amount of tax every year. Most importantly, he only focuses on business and has never made use of his wealth to meddle with government's decision making. Just this point alone warrants him the greatest support from the government.

If Shang Ke wished to complete his mission, it was best to borrow Wen Jingrong's power. With all his business, it isn't difficult to take in 1000 workers. However, in this age, most factories can already be automated. The need for low level laborers is getting lesser and lesser. If one doesn't have a skill of their own, they can only choose to start a business on their own or work in the service industry. However, starting a business requires money and the service industry has high requirements on one's appearance.

The 1000 people set by the mission were unemployed travellers, laid-off workers, veterans and ex-prisoners. Amongst these types of people, most of them don't have any special skill other than the veterans. The appearance probably doesn't meet the required standards too. Or else, they wouldn't have been unable to find a job. In this era, one is very highly paid in the service industry. Most of them are concentrated in the food and beverage, entertainment, healthcare, cosmetic, and cleaning industry. Even if it was a cleaner job that doesn't need much skills or a great appearance, it had strict requirements on one's character. It was because they had to enter a client's house and take care of some valuable objects.
