Chapter 360: Butterfly Effect
Wang Hao checked the learning progress of the "Desire" shop again, "Ma Yilong" was a very typical young man with relatively simple reception methods, and the "Desire" shop had almost learned the corresponding reception techniques.
As for customers like Donald, they were just a minority. Due to their complexity, they still could not be automatically received for the time being.
"It's okay, as long as there is a large enough sample size, it will eventually be possible to automate the work. That's enough for today, we'll fight again tomorrow."
Wang Hao exited the Game, and after taking off his helmet, he took a deep breath.
With two deals concluded, the world had once more undergone change.
The future was becoming somewhat blurred.
He gazed at the bright moon outside the window.
From crescent to full moon, and back to crescent, the eras were changing, but the human heart had never changed.
An interesting feeling arose spontaneously in his heart; the future Earth could be very chaotic, yet exciting!
He had lived here for so many years and still had some feelings for it, naturally hoping that Earth society could be better, could progress a bit faster.
Then he smiled wryly to himself, "Even without my intervention, the world will still progress. It just might take a few small detours. Why bother worrying too much."
"Now I have two lawyers, a wealthy businessman, a politician. The power is still a bit weak. Over the next few days, I'll find some more ambitious young people to help out with some small favors. At worst, if I lose all my money and the shop goes bankrupt, it'll just be the right time to run."
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Wang Hao put aside that bit of worry and called out, "Yueyue, today we're going to eat at McDonald's. I've heard that their McJuicy Crispy Chicken is even better than the Original Recipe! Let's eat there a few more times these days!"
"Really?" Yueyue also removed her helmet, putting on a pitiful look, "When do you plan to complete our deal? Other people's wishes were fulfilled so quickly, why does my little wish have to be delayed?"
"Don't rush me." Wang Hao glanced at her disdainfully, "Are you revealing your true nature as Miss Yueyue after all these years of pretense? After the deal is done, you can't wait to become Yueyue and throw yourself at me, right?"
"Yes, you guessed it!" Yueyue fiddled with the corner of her clothes, her voice growing louder, "Actually, without that 'cousin' label, it would be more interesting! For example, 'Teacher,' I could be your teacher! Or 'Junior,' I could simply be your school junior!"
As she spoke, she became more animated, "Or it could be another, even more interesting label. So tell me, are you interested?"
Wang Hao thought for a long time and looked at her with an inexplicable gaze, "Ahem, let's not talk about these impossible things."
"But please, play the role of 'cousin' well in these last few days, let me feel the profound sadness of relatives passing away. I've pretty much experienced all other emotions; maybe the departure of relatives is the feeling I find hardest to experience."
Yueyue blinked her eyes, speaking irritably, "What do you mean the feeling of relatives disappearing... I'm not dead, just becoming more free!"
...
...
The next day, back in the "Desire" shop, he opened the Book of Destiny to observe Ma Yilong's life fate.
As expected, this naturally talented young man had become even sharper and wiser with the reinforcement from the Life Spring.
Ma Yilong established his own enterprise during his college years and became a multimillionaire. Over the next thirty years, his wealth inflated like a snowball rolling downhill.
By the time he was forty, he already held several aerospace companies, internet, electric vehicle, and other high-tech businesses.
"It looks like he has not forgotten his original aspiration, steadily progressing towards the goal of landing on Mars."
However, misfortune struck when Ma Yilong acquired the Bluebird Company and got involved in the Mil Empire's factional struggles.
In the thirty-third year, Ma Yilong was found to have committed suicide in his luxurious villa. Even though he had stated in advance that there were no issues with his mental state and he would absolutely not commit suicide, he still ended his life.
Wang Hao was dumbstruck, the end of Ma Yilong was almost the same as that of Lu Wenhao and Fu Liaoyi!
He took another look at Mr. "Donald," that fellow managed to skyrocket to a high position with his outstanding eloquence, attempting to make his homeland great again.
But the final outcome wasn't any better; he fell to being a prisoner due to the charge of private collusion with the enemy country.
"So, every one I invest in fails, huh?!"
On reflection, it wasn't that surprising; in a world that changes daily, the old powers could not accommodate nouveau riche, especially those who crossed the boundaries, who were more likely to face retaliation.
New powers wanting to rise, wanting recognition from old families, had to bleed out significantly. That's why the rise of new families tended to concentrate after victories in wars.
But clearly, a world war was not likely to break out in the forthcoming future; opportunities were scarce. Thus, the old powers' attempts to prevent the rise of nouveau riche were not uncommon.
"I really want to see just how strong you are!" Old Wang, on the verge of rage, huffed and puffed for a long while before gradually calming down.
"Once the 'Desire' shop learns auto reception, I'm going to invest in tens, hundreds of thousands of human elites, help them achieve their desires. Do you really think you can kill a million people? If a million is not enough, then ten million!"
