Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 529: The Price (Part 3)


Isn't the profession of a craftsman too distorting to human nature?!

"Everything is of equal value, you must work to earn, there's no free lunch under the sun, and what you can't pray for from the Holy God, you won't get from me for free either."

Ji Jue said indifferently, "If you really want to die, then sign the contract and get on the assembly line to screw bolts. Complete the fixed KPI and additional quotas each month. The sooner they finish, the sooner they can be reborn...

Hmm, the terms are actually quite lenient. After all, no matter how you work here, you won't die. If you work hard, working 24 hours a day, a year is actually enough."

Clearly priced, fair to all.

You work for me, and I let you die.

It's that simple.

Even death has become a reward...

Then Wen Wen realized she was overthinking: there was no moral dilemma at all because Ji Jue has no such thing as morals!

"But..." she hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "What if they actually complete it..."

So, the brains of those in Ruins are straightforward, single-threaded, unable to turn.

Ji Jue sighed.

He put down his cup and raised a finger.

"Sister Wen, first you need to understand that to fulfill a contract requires two premises. The first premise is that at least a year is needed, but in a year, no, if in six months we can't solve the Holy God issue, I think we might as well start anew."

With such arrogance and sense of entitlement, taking the overthrow of Divine Country Paradise in six months as an easily completed task, he didn't even have a shred of doubt.

But at this moment, after hearing him, Wen Wen felt there was some truth to what he said, making her heart overflow with mixed feelings.

"Secondly, the second premise is that by that time, they still want to die."

Ji Jue raised his second finger, solemnly said, "If someone works so hard, rising early and working late, screwing bolts on the assembly line 24 hours a day, working tirelessly, but wants nothing else but to die...

Then, if he can die, it must be because of his efforts! Frankly, having the determination and perseverance to seek death makes my help unnecessary.

Facing such heroes, the only thing I can do is send them on their way and remember them for a lifetime."

Wen Wen was speechless to this.

From the beginning, Ji Jue never considered this issue a problem.

The issue is a problem only on oneself; when the issue's on others, why bother?

So there are no problems, only resources delivered to the door.

Want to die, huh?

How can you rely on kneeling and praying? You think seeking death doesn't require determination and perseverance? You have to rely on your efforts to walk this dead-end; you need your own hands to create a beautiful future!

Into the factory, all of you, get into the factory!

Bowing your heads to pray, you were willing to do that. Then putting in a screw shouldn't be a problem, right?

If, after embarking on this long journey into the factory, you regret it, then everything will naturally be up for discussion. If you die hard, then naturally Ji Jue can only give you a thumbs up and help you die well.

Before this, become cattle and horses for me.

"It's just..."

Wen Wen pondered for a while, always feeling something was off. After a long time, she finally reacted, "Aren't you afraid they'll slack off? Besides, even if they won't die, people aren't made of iron. It's too much to work so intensely for so long, right?"

"That's why I gave them another choice."

Ji Jue smiled, "Including those who regret after seeing the contract, there's another way to achieve their goals more easily and happily.

I happen to be looking for... ahem, testers."

He said, spreading his hands to display the creation behind him - at most just a framework, yet to be fully completed, a semi-finished product.

It looks like a cabinet the size of a coffin, filled with Spiritual Circuit inside, with a transparent glass cabin lid and many unconnected cables.

It looks like a...

...Life Support Chamber?
