Chapter 48 Old Capitalist Dog

Jun Gengjin wished to chop off Shan Weiyi’s hand, but as the world’s number one domineering president, he would never allow himself to lose his composure. Therefore, he remained calm on the surface, and even smiled indulgently: “You are too naughty.”

Shan Weiyi smiled all over his face: “Everyone can take a step back, you let me go to the concert, and I will be ‘bai nuo’.”

This sounded fair, however, Jun Gengjin didn’t intend to talk about fairness with anyone at all. Fairness was essentially offensive to him.

When Shan Weiyi was unhappy, he would send some money and give some things to coax him, he was willing, that was his proper demeanor.

But when Shan Weiyi made a threat, he chose to concede, but he was unwilling, because it was a sign of weakness.

Jun Gengjin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, “Why don’t you understand my heart? It’s so cold outside, and the place is crowded with crooks mixed with honest folks. I didn’t let you go to protect you. If you like that band, I’ll let them come up to sing to you alone?”

He didn’t seem to be angry at all, and he was full of patience, coaxing softly, but the toughness in his words remained the same.

But Shan Weiyi said: “No, if they sing to me alone, there will be no atmosphere.”

Jun Gengjin looked at Shan Weiyi, sighed helplessly, his expression was doting, but his eyes were cold: “You are determined to go, right?”

Shan Weiyi nodded heavily: “Yes!”

Jun Gengjin reached out to stroke Shan Weiyi’s hair: “I really can’t say no to you.”

It seems that Jun Gengjin had given in.

Shan Weiyi immediately received the news that the concert was open again.

Shan Weiyi hurried out.

Although it was snowing outside because of Jun Gengjin’s adjustments, Shan Weiyi traveled in a suspension car with constant temperature inside, so Shan Weiyi didn’t feel cold even if he was wearing thin clothes.

The car sent him directly to the VIP parking lot, and the temperature was naturally suitable. Shan Weiyi got off the car and followed the ticket address to the venue of the LIVE HOUSE.

Probably because Shan Weiyi came a little later, the concert had already started. The band sang enthusiastically on the stage, and the audience on the field was boisterous. Circles of metal-colored fluorescent light strips shone with psychedelic brilliance, reflecting on the bewitched faces of every audience. These lights swept across, and Shan Weiyi saw that everyone had the same expression, and the rhythm of waving the fluorescent lights was also uniform, and they swayed with the beat according to the rhythm of the music-this scene was really weird.

Shan Weiyi walked to the L-shaped bar, and the bartender immediately stepped forward and asked mechanically, “Hello, Young Master Shan, what do you need?”

It was obviously a robotic bartender.

Shan Weiyi said softly: “Give me a glass of vodka.” 

The bartender shook his head mechanically: “Sorry, I can’t serve you any alcoholic drinks.”

Shan Weiyi took back his gaze on the robotic bartender, then he swept over all the “spectators”, inferior game NPCs. Shan Weiyi almost laughed out loud: Jun Gengjin was an old dog, playing this game with me.

He checked online and found that the f*ck the world concert was still canceled. In other words, this was Shan Weiyi’s concert alone.

More importantly, the other people’s tickets have all been refunded, so the organizer can only receive the ticket fee for Shan Weiyi?

Shan Weiyi jumped off the high chair and walked to the stage. The performers on the stage were surprised to see Shan Weiyi doing this. Before he could say anything, Shan Weiyi grabbed the microphone and asked loudly, “Are you real people?” 

The performer nodded awkwardly.

Shan Weiyi realized that all the ticket money had been refunded, so he asked them, “How much did Jun Gengjin give you?” 

The performer replied distressingly, “Nothing.”

Shan Weiyi was stunned: “Are you willing to perform without pay?” 

The performer said with a bitter face: “The boss of this venue said that if we don’t perform, we will be banned.”

Shan Weiyi: … I always underestimated  Jun Gengjin, the old dog.

The performers were also miserable: Although they sang f*ck the world, the reality was always being f*cked by the world.

The lead singer of the band broke down in tears: This was our first live house! Fans were scolding for the temporary skip ticket! I don’t know if I will be able to open in the future…

Shan Weiyi also felt extremely sympathetic when he watched the lead singer brother who was usually dragged in 250 catties of heavy makeup crying like a 200 catty child.

Shan Weiyi tried his best to wave the light stick in the audience, and sang with the band for the whole performance.

After the show, Shan Weiyi didn’t go to the parking lot to take the car, but bought a down jacket in a small shop in the building, put it on, and walked to the street mirror.

It was still snowing lightly on the street, and the wind was blowing. Shan Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief, watching the milky white mist spray out from his lips. The weather was too cold, he strolled casually, and looked up to see a rare natural food fresh cooking restaurant on the side of the street.

This kind of restaurant that can cook natural food instead of serving pre-made dishes in a central kitchen and not having cooking robots as chefs was common everywhere on ancient earth, but in this day and age, it was a luxury.

Shan Weiyi had money in his pocket, so he could walk in wherever he was interested. As soon as he entered, the warm smoke washed away the cold breath of falling snow on his body.

He took a breath, and the strong aroma of the natural bone broth permeated his cold nostrils, which made him feel relaxed and happy, and also made him want to move.

After sitting down by the window, he was not surprised to see the ordering panel automatically rise on the table. The first one shown above was salt and pepper beef noodles. Interestingly, the first place on the panel next to him was Garlic Chicken Bone Thick Noodles.

Because this high-end restaurant was a property under Jun’s, it shared the database with Jun, and had the private information of all the people in the federation. Therefore, it could push customers to the products they may be interested in at the first time.

Not only noodle shops, but jewelry stores, clothing stores, etc. were the same.

This was relatively rare in the empire.

Then Jun spokesperson said that this was the result of the highly digitized and commercialized Freedom Federation in order to provide better services to the public. However, compared with commercialization and digitalization, Shan Weiyi thought this was a manifestation of Jun’s monopoly.

Shan Weiyi had only been in the Freedom Federation for a month, but because he consumed every day, his preferences had been recorded in big data—at least the preferences he showed.

Shan Weiyi clicked to buy salt, pepper and scallion beef noodles, and the soda recommendation appeared below: Naturally, it was also the taste of Shan Weiyi’s regular drink.

Shan Weiyi also took advantage of the trend to buy.

After a while, the beef noodles and soda were delivered by the food delivery robot, not only that, but also a bouquet of yellow roses. Shan Weiyi raised his eyebrows. What’s interesting was that the tablet on the desktop automatically played advertisements just now, and one of the advertisements read “Apologizing to your lover, please choose ROSA yellow roses!”

Now, the ROSA brand yellow roses came to Shan Weiyi.

Shan Weiyi casually threw the yellow roses away and started eating noodles. At this time, the advertisement started playing again on the tablet, and the gentle baritone said: It’s late at night, it’s getting cold, don’t let those who care about you worry about you…SAFE automatic car, nonstop at night, private car, take you home safely.

Shan Weiyi put down his chopsticks, and saw an automatic car parked outside the window, with the word SAFE painted on the body with eye-catching yellow paint.

Shan Weiyi walked out of the noodle shop after eating the noodles, the snow was still falling outside, and the SAFE automatic car was still parked on the side of the road, with the lights on faintly, as if guiding him to move forward.

Shan Weiyi narrowed his eyes, turned his face and walked towards the other side of the street. He clicked on the smart wristband, opened the car sharing platform, and planned to rent a car. However, the app indicated that there was no available car nearby.

With a raised eyebrow, he simply quit the taxi platform, clicked on the hotel app, and planned to choose a nearby hotel to stay.

Unfortunately, all nearby hotels were also unavailable.

The cold wind blew snowflakes all over his face. In the dark snowy night, only the SAFE automatic car gave off a warm light to Shan Weiyi, like a lamp that lit up on a snowy night in a fairy tale to lure pedestrians.

In the dark, there was only one way to go.

Shan Weiyi smiled: This old capitalist dog.

In this lonely world, it seemed that there was only Shan Weiyi left in the world, and Jun Gengjin’s will was everywhere.

If it was really Young Master Shan himself, he might feel very lonely and helpless.

But Shan Weiyi was at ease, he sat down on a bench by the street.

There was silence all around.

But Xi Zhitong’s perfect voice accompanied Shan Weiyi: If you need, I can let you stay in a comfortable hotel.

Jun’s information system can control the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the entire Federation, but to Xi Zhitong, such a system was as rough as a small lock in a child’s diary.

Xi Zhitong can violently dismantle it anytime and anywhere, and even turn against the master.

Shan Weiyi shook his head: Don’t startle the snake and warn him.

Xi Zhitong had already separated from the human body, and there was no heart, endorphins and other substances to affect his emotions. However, he seemed to have retained his emotional ability, but this ability only worked on Shan Weiyi. Xi Zhitong felt an emotion similar to worry, which made him uneasy.

But he didn’t know how to express it, so he could only mechanically say: What can I do for you?

Shan Weiyi: Stay with me.

Xi Zhitong: This is something I have been doing, and it is not worth mentioning.

Shan Weiyi rubbed his arms and looked up at the streetlights with a smile. The beam of light from the lamp shone on the ground, and the snowflakes in the bright light were more obvious, like a bright melody, singing in the winter night.

Shan Weiyi hummed a few intermittent melodies, shook his head, and beat the beat.

Xi Zhitong: This is really beautiful, I have never heard of it before.

Shan Weiyi’s heart moved: You haven’t heard of it?

Xi Zhitong: Yes.

Shan Weiyi amazed: You haven’t heard of it but I know it, I’m afraid it can only be the song I heard in my “first life”.

The so-called “first life” was the “real” life before he entered the quick transmigration game. The reason why it was called “real” does not refer to anything else, but that it was the only life in which he can be himself.

In his first life, he was just himself and didn’t have to play anyone.

Xi Zhitong asked: What is the exclusive name of this song?

Shan Weiyi shook his head again: I don’t remember anymore.

Too far ago.

What happened in the first life was like the street lamp farthest from him in the snowstorm, giving off a faint halo in his blurred vision, but he could no longer make out the specific outline.

Shan Weiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and snowflakes fell from his black eyelashes.

His eyelids trembled slightly, as if he suddenly realized that he had completely forgotten even his original voice and appearance. He played so many roles and interpreted so many lives, but in the end he forgot himself.

He folded his arms, still maintaining the posture of looking at the streetlight.

Xi Zhitong observed Shan Weiyi’s emotional fluctuations, and asked with concern: is there anything I can do to help you?

Shan Weiyi sighed: If only you could give me a hug.

After a while, a nimble figure appeared at the corner of the street, running quickly to the bench where Shan Weiyi was.

Shan Weiyi took a closer look and saw that it was a stray bionic cat.

This bionic cat had grown to the size of a pallas cat, with thick fur and bright eyes. It came running from the corner of the street, then lightly jumped onto Shan Weiyi’s lap, and made an inexplicable sound: “Meow.”—a mechanical and mellow baritone voice.

Shan Weiyi instantly recognized the voice, his brows and eyes curled up.

Xi Zhitong possessed the bionic cat and rubbed against Shan Weiyi’s arms, feeling soft and warm to the touch: “Excuse me, does this kind of hug suit your wishes?”

When a person has a cat, winter nights can also become warm.

Shan Weiyi hugged the warm cat and fell asleep on the bench.

After he fell asleep, the SAFE automatic car still drove to his side, and the security robot came from the car and stuffed Shan Weiyi into the car. Shan Weiyi naturally felt it, but he was too lazy to resist: Jun Gengjin tried to force himself to bow his head and submit, but he refused, so much so that Jun Gengjin had to use such a crude method, this was Jun Gengjin’s loss.

Shan Weiyi closed his eyes and fell asleep in the comfortable car, but did not let go of the hand holding the cat.

The robot didn’t send Shan Weiyi back to the familiar apartment, but packed him into Jun Gengjin’s penthouse.

Jun Gengjin was sitting in the room wearing a set of home clothes, he really looked like a good man waiting for his other half who didn’t come home at night. Seeing Shan Weiyi covered in dust, Jun Gengjin said tenderly, “Why are you covered in snow? Go take a hot shower.”

Shan Weiyi hugged the Tongzi cat and stared at Jun Gengjin warily: “I’m not selling myself.”

“Don’t think too much about it.” Jun Gengjin couldn’t help laughing, and said tenderly, “Didn’t I say that you are not worthy? Silly boy, you can’t even recognize your status, how cute.”
