Doomsday Code

Chapter 341 Fanaticism

Their conversation was also heard by the workers at other tables, and many of them joked:

"How many years can you still work at your age, old fool? You are responsible for Mocha's studies, and you must be exhausted."

"This is my business. You guys are just gossiping here. You don't even think about your wife and children back home. Aren't you afraid that your wife will run away with someone else after you've been away for too long?"

What the old fool said was quite hurtful, but these people didn't care.

Because the population management in this world is very strict, otherwise they would not have smuggled out alone, but would have brought their wives and children with them.

Moreover, in this world's values, cheating is an extremely bad behavior, especially when they are both religious, cheating is equivalent to the unforgivable sin.

So they all feel at ease with their wives and daughters back home.

And the old fool said this just to tease them.

These people were not annoyed, but laughed and scolded:

"You old fool, you have such a mean mouth. Maybe you are jealous of us because you don't have a wife. Hahaha."

As they talked, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The old fool's face turned red with shame.

He was really a worthless person when he was young, and was punished by the lord time and again for petty thefts.

No family in this territory was willing to marry their daughter to him.

Later he ran away secretly and worked in various countries, but the money he earned was only enough to support himself, let alone marry and have children.

He came here only after he heard that there was a lot of money to be made in Huidun City.

The salary here in Huidun City is indeed a lot of money compared to his previous job.

In the past, he would be lucky if he could earn five gold coins a year, but here, the salary is paid on a daily basis, and he can earn six gold coins in less than two months.

This is also why he said that he could fully support Mocha's decision to leave his job to go to school.

However, it takes a long time to complete the studies after entering school, and the old man's health has long been in bad shape due to years of hard work and traveling.

It is still uncertain whether he can persist until he finishes and graduates from Mocha.

The old fool also knew his own physical condition, but he thought that Mocha was so young and came from the Kingdom of Ferdow like him.

It can be said that Old Bentou saw his former self in Mocha.

He also knew the hard work he had endured in his life, and he didn't want Mocha to follow in his footsteps.

Maybe I can study here and get a job as a manager in a factory after graduation. I won't have to work so hard every day and I can still get a good salary every month.

Then he bought a property here, got married and had children, and lived a happy family.

Thinking of the bright future, the old fool made up his mind that he must send Mocha to school.

"Okay, you guys better take care of yourselves first. I'll sell everything I have to send Mocha to a new school."

Mocha didn't expect that the conversation ended up with him going to school.

But thinking about the 996 hours of work at the construction site, he had no time to escape. Maybe now that he goes to school, he will have time to escape.

But he had no idea that in order to train this group of new talents, Kekeber's methods were much stricter than the 996 method.

When the other workers saw that Old Bentou had made up his mind, they stopped talking too. However, in their hearts they were thinking that they had to prepare when school started.

Then Mocha was pulled aside by the old fool and given a good lecture, and the old fool wanted to let Mocha rest from work now.

Let him use these few months to prepare and learn to read on his own first, and then after he enters school he can study with the first batch of students.

Mocha was tempted when he heard this, as he could take this opportunity to plan his departure.

But when he saw the smile on the old face of the stupid man and his somewhat hunched back, he hesitated.

Although the title of killer sounds very cruel and cold, every killer is not a machine but a living person.

They are also flesh and blood and have their own emotions.

And because of the various training they went through when they were young, they are much better at capturing other people's emotions towards themselves than ordinary people.

And when they really meet someone who is truly kind to them, their hearts, which have been tempered like iron, will be more receptive to such feelings than ordinary people.

Mocha knew that he had developed feelings for the old fool in front of him. At this moment, the old fool was really like a brother and a father in his heart.

"Why are you so silent, brother? What do you think of my suggestion just now?"

The old fool said this with a laugh and tapped the dazed man on the head.

Moka came back to his senses, then smiled sincerely and said:

"No need. I can actually read a few words. I was going to enroll in the local college, but because I was poor, I was rejected."

Mocha was not deceiving the old fool. Before he became a killer, he really did apply for the academy in his area, but he was rejected because of his background.

Later he was found by the killer organization and taken away for training.

His parents and relatives were also killed by the organization overnight.

So after he became a true platinum-level killer, his first action was to destroy the organization that trained him and killed his entire family.

Since he joined the organization, his emotions have been erased by the organization, and this final revenge has completely closed his emotions.

However, during this mission, his closed heart was opened again.

At this moment, Mocha was reminding himself in his heart that he was a killer, and feelings were the most useless thing for a killer.

I feel that I am carrying out a mission to find out the true situation of the target, and I am not sinking into this emotion.

Mocha reminded himself over and over again in his heart.

Then he looked up at Chen Cheng.

However, Chen Cheng had already left by then.

Chen Cheng didn't notice the killer Mocha at all. After watching the residents celebrate, he left and returned to the college.

At this time, the academy was also filled with joy.

Originally, the academy had prepared a celebration ceremony for the champion Chen Cheng in the morning, but it was cancelled because Chen Cheng went to the Earl's Mansion.

However, this did not prevent the students from celebrating spontaneously.

When some students saw Chen Cheng coming back, they all surrounded him and congratulated him.

However, Chen Cheng had become immune to such occasions in his previous life. He did not show much excitement, but just said that he had received their congratulations, and then squeezed through the crowd and left.

If he had this attitude in the past, he would definitely be scolded to death by these students with good family backgrounds.

But now it’s different. He is the champion of the competition and he won the championship by defeating several favorites.

Now, Chen Cheng's behavior seemed to them to be very meaningful, and they made all kinds of speculations afterwards.

For example, Brown has the style of a certain legendary strong man in ancient times, and can remain stable as usual after winning the championship.

For example, Brown's calmness and composure without arrogance or impetuosity are role models for them to learn from.

Anyway, it's just a bunch of good words with various interpretations.

Chen Cheng was really not surprised by these things.

After all, the interpretations made by people here are relatively light. In his previous life, after he developed controlled nuclear fusion, his every word and action had thousands of different interpretations on the Internet.

There is even a special website to interpret his various actions and words.
