Psychological crime has always been the most covert crime technique in any era.
Everyone thinks they have independent judgment, but actually, living in society, they are constantly bombarded with complex information. No one dares to confidently say, "My judgment today is solely my own, never influenced by anyone or any external information."
As long as one is willing to enjoy it, even if for less than an hour, no matter how exhausted, they can still draw their sword when needed.
At 9:50 PM, in the side hall of the third floor at the excavation center station.
The bustle faded, leaving only a mess of cups and plates in the banquet hall and surrounding private rooms, along with some unmentionable smells.
The bodies of the professionals are strong, and many have not yet found true relief.
But this is not a problem; they can go back and use their wristwatch to hypnotize themselves, creating a dream no different from reality.
In the dream, their bodies can provide the feedback their souls need.
This is not uncommon; it’s a part of the daily life of Source Star people.
After all, a normal Source Star person can’t resist the biological clock that shuts down like a power cut at midnight.
In a corner of the banquet hall, Lin Wang, dressed neatly again, lightly held a wine glass with his left hand, filled with red fruit wine.
His right fingertips unconsciously rubbed his right cheek gently.
That’s where Yu Junren had hit him in the afternoon.
He seemed to forget the feeling of humiliation, but his subconscious remembered.
Lin Wang had a smile on his face.
He was very satisfied with Ren Zhong’s arrangements for tonight.
The other professional captains had already made a small profit from him today, and unexpectedly, after work, there was an extra show. Although restricted by work, the happy time was too short, but the expensive elite entertainers with excellent appearance and professional skills brought everyone a very comfortable enjoyment.
These entertainers, regardless of gender, were all First Level citizens, but they had fallen from grace due to various reasons.
Tasting the richness of citizens is the ultimate enjoyment for the professional captains born in the wild.
Before the gathering ended, many professional captains expressed great appreciation for Lin Wang’s generosity and kindness, and they agreed to maintain a good exchange and treat Lin Wang in the future once their current business concluded.
This, although a relationship built on food and drink, was still better than the previous nodding acquaintance.
Lin Wang’s social circle had expanded significantly in just one day.
Lin Wang looked at Ren Zhong, who was gobbling down food beside him, and found him even more pleasing to the eye.
He asked, "You were the host, why didn’t you find a girl to have fun with?"
Ren Zhong put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said a bit shyly, "I’ve already got Manager Ju, hmm, Hanyu and Zheng Tian."
Lin Wang was momentarily stunned, then looked at Ren Zhong in disbelief, "You... you don’t believe in love, do you?"
Ren Zhong’s neck turned slightly red, and he awkwardly lowered his head, "Maybe."
After a long while, Lin Wang took a sip of wine, rubbed his right cheek slightly harder, and said with a sigh, "I really envy citizens. Even if you once were a citizen."
Ren Zhong was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
"In a sense, love is a privilege of citizens. I know it’s a beautiful feeling, but I am not worthy of it now. You are in the wild now, but you once understood that."
Ren Zhong heard genuine envy, along with a deeply hidden yet deeply rooted jealousy and anger in Lin Wang’s tone.
Ren Zhong smiled, "Don’t sell yourself short, Captain. You’re strong, your income is high, and I believe you’ll become a citizen sooner or later."
Lin Wang shrugged, "High? Don’t underestimate citizens just because of today’s entertainers. In the eyes of true high-class citizens, our assets might not even buy a piece of art or decoration in their home."
Ren Zhong: "That’s true."
Lin Wang continued, "Take Ma Xiaoling, whom you’re more familiar with, as an example. When we hunt in the wild and our equipment gets damaged, we have to pay out of pocket to repair and replace parts. But as the town guard captain, she gets her equipment repairs and maintenance for free. She can also directly access Fifth Level virtual reality training for free now."
"And don’t think that just because Ma Xiaoling and I are both Fourth Level warriors, our equipment is the same. A random special upgraded part from her armor is worth more than my entire armor set because it’s crafted by the Source Star Military Industry’s technical department. Just because she’s a Guard Captain and a Third Level citizen, she can afford such equipment with her salary, subsidies, and discounts."
