Chapter 33 Which Do You Believe?

"It seems that the black market is even more powerful than I thought." Hearing the president's answer, Shuer raised his eyebrows and didn't mind exposing his surprise at all. "If he didn't have enough influence in the city hall, it would be impossible to have confidence in promoting talks or even affecting the results of the negotiations."

"Ha." The president smiled mysteriously, but said nothing.

"Okay, okay, I understand what the president means." Suer certainly understood, and he really understood it too much. The president suddenly said this and took the initiative to expose the influence of the black market in the city hall. Of course, it was not because of a short circuit in the electronic brain, but a means of waiting for a price. It not only told the customer what goods they had, but also showed the importance of the black market, so the price naturally rose.

"Huh, I understand." Frowning and hesitating for a while, Shuer sighed and relaxed his body and leaned against the back of the chair. "I need to know how far the black market can do."

"To be honest, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that we will contact us secretly, and the possibility of meetings is very high. According to my experience, it is at least 70%. It must be admitted that the impact of your battle is too great. The military's motorized forces are almost wiped out, leaving only two tank formations and more than 40 individual armors. The city defense has reached the edge of the red alarm, and they will never dare to dispatch easily. The special forces of the city hall have not appeared yet, which means they are also afraid and will take a wait-and-see attitude. If you express your desire to negotiate, they are most likely willing to accept it."

"But 70% is not 100% after all. It is not ruled out that a few hardliners in the City Hall and the military work together to obstruct the talks. If your attitude doesn't matter whether it is a talk or not, you can try it, but if you feel that the talks must be carried out, then we can intervene. As long as we get involved, I can guarantee that the proposals for the talks can be passed 100%, and they will be passed at the fastest speed. I think the time will never exceed one day."

"Of course, the charges will not be low. The specific price can be discussed later. I think with Mr. Shure's experience, I will definitely not make some decisions that make both parties unhappy."

"It's fair." Shur nodded thoughtfully, "What if I go further?"

"Oh, if you want to go further, it will be the passage of various proposals during the talks." The president showed the attitude that a businessman should have. His two eyes, which were so fat that they narrowed into a slit, shining with sharp light, "It depends on what Mr. Shure wants."

“Do you pay by entry?”

"That's natural. Your requirements are different, and the price is different. Just like you just want to stand on the edge of the city and see the scenery, and you want to have a few sky cities to play with, the price is definitely the difference between heaven and earth."

"Oh? I can also want to have a floating city?" Shuer asked with a smile, "Can you help make the transaction?"

"Sorry, we can't do it in Sky City. It's not that we lack the influence, but that we don't have the ability to trade." The president spread his hands and said honestly. "Since the mechanical doomsday broke out, Sky City has been unable to be built. For decades, no new Sky City was born. Now, all Sky City are running at full capacity, and there is no spare time for trading."

"And, things like Sky City are not something that we can decide for a city. They must be decided by the upper level of the capital circle. Although our black market also has a certain influence in the capital circle, it is much smaller than local cities. Even if we help us work hard, I can guarantee that it will never be possible to pass."

"I just wanted to ask this question." Shul suddenly looked at Delia and his voice softened, "Do you want to go and have a rest?"

"Hmm? Is it not convenient for me to listen?" The girl has recovered a lot from her despair and nodded blankly, "Okay, then I'll avoid it first."

"If you want to hear, I won't object, or rather, I'm very welcome." Shuer shook his head, "but you have to think clearly that once you continue listening, you will never be able to return to your previous life. If you leave the seat now, you will be just an outsider. After our negotiations are over, all parties will not target you specifically. You are still the happy little girl in the West Outer Ring District."

"Not only, I can ask someone to let her return to the inner city and live a more decent life." The president looked at Delia and smiled. "If she wants, I can also accept her to join the black market. I also like this kid very much. I have a flexible mind and may achieve great success after a period of training."

"Hear? If you leave the seat now, your life in the future will not only not be affected by bad effects, but will become better. But if you continue to sit down, I can't guarantee it." Shur said with a serious expression, "Once you are involved, you can follow us when we are here, but we always have to leave. At that time, whether you will be retaliated by one party or even the degree of revenge can't be judged now. Therefore, whether to stay or leave depends on your own choice."

"Uncle, what about your suggestions?"

"Stop making trouble, I'll let you choose for yourself." Xiuer pondered for a moment, "As for the uncle's suggestion, you should leave the table now and completely forget about this matter."

"But I still want to stay." Delia said biting her lip, "I want to be involved."

"I don't comment, you can judge for yourself, but I want to remind you that now is not a good time for young people to look forward to adventure and excitement."

"It's not the reason. I'm not that ignorant yet, but I know, uncle, you actually want me to stay, right?" The girl completely regained her usual agility and showed a cunning smile. "Since you said you wanted to hire me that day, you actually chose me, right? I don't know what the uncle wants me to do for you, but it must be a very important thing."

Tsk, this child was too sensitive. Shuer twitched his lips, and he secretly poked the back of the smirking Moria deer, and glared at Suffer. He knew that his plan could not be hidden from the two closest women, but unexpectedly, he could see through this dead child.

In his original plan, he was indeed planning to push Delia to the front desk for some purpose and become his agent, which was also an experiment, so he intended to bring the relationship between the two parties closer. However, with the contacts over the past few days, Shuer actually hesitated, worried that the burden would be too heavy for her age, so he suggested that she stop here.

"I know you are doing it for me, but you don't understand. I don't care about my previous life at all." The girl looked away and looked into the distance. Although she couldn't see it, Shuer knew that it was the direction of the Tower of Babel. "I also have my dreams, and my intuition told me that as long as I continue, my dreams will come true."

"Of course, even if I don't do this, maybe I'll be foolish. When the uncle gets troubled by me, I'm willing to help me realize my dream. But my parents have educated me since I was a child that only by doing my best can I gain something. I'm willing to pay the price for it, so, uncle, don't drive me away, okay?"

"Swish." Shure sneered disdainfully, "I said, make your own decision. If you want to stay, stay and leave as long as you want to leave, what does it have to do with me."

"laugh."

"Hmph." Xiuer snorted coldly, turned his head to look at the little guy's hateful smile, and continued to say to the president, "So to continue our previous topic, I have always wanted to know, does the capital circle really exist?"

"Theoretically, it does exist." The president hesitated for a while and sighed, "I have suspected it over the years, but in the end I still believe it exists."

"It's just that no one has ever seen the Capital Circle with his own eyes, right?"

"Well, traffic has been cut off for decades, and everyone is trapped in the isolated island, and no one has actually been there. It is not that no one has tried it. Sky City has also tried several times. It is ruled out that suicide squads try to go to the capital circle by land. Even if they can't reach the capital, being able to reach other cities is a step to victory."

"What's the result?"

"Ha, do you still need to ask?" The president smiled sarcastically and shook his head, "The ground is already their world, and there is no team that can reach the destination alive."

"You can't?"

"Mr. Shure, I think you have a misunderstanding." The president sighed. "Although our whole body has been transformed, we are still humans, not mechanical."

"But you can leave the floating city and live on the ground."

"Wrong, we have never lived on the ground. Our base is an underground bunker." Although the president had a stern face, Shuer could see that he did not lie. "Ground city, Tower of Babel, Sky City, Underground bunker, this is the standard configuration of each Sky City before the end of the machinery. Underground bunker is mainly responsible for energy supply, and energy is transported to the city and Sky City through the Tower of Babel. Ground city is mainly responsible for agriculture and industrial production, providing necessities for Sky City, and Sky City is mainly responsible for scientific and technological research and efforts for the progress of civilization."

"After the mechanical doomsday, the ground fell, and some underground bunkers were also devastatingly hit, which directly led to the crash of Sky City. The hundreds of existing Sky City are all the corresponding underground bunkers. In order to fight against the machinery, we transformed humans and normal humans had to join forces. Because we have special bodies, we live underground and maintain the normal operation of the underground bunker. Why do you think our black market has a great influence in every city? On the one hand, the sky City needs the existence of the black market, and on the other hand, it is also because only we can guard the underground bunker."

"We can completely mechanize ourselves and lose all vital signs so that we can freely communicate on the ground, but we can't hold on for too long, so we can indeed move on the ground for a short time, but we cannot act for a long time. Therefore, like other humans, we are prisoners on isolated islands and cannot go anywhere."

"Then why do you believe in the existence of the capital circle?"

"Because of video communication and goods exchange, you can also use text communication and interaction through the shuttle."

“These can be faked.”

"Mr. Shure." The president sighed again, "What do you want me to believe? Believing that the existence of the capital circle is just a lie? Believing that these are traps of mechanical creatures? Or do you want me to believe that we are just domestic animals of mechanical things, slaves who are kept in captivity to make up for their lack of creativity? If it were you, which one would you believe?"
