Pretending To Be A Boss

Tang Xian planned to find the model worker Dong Ran later to help move the machinery of this shop. Or to simply tidy up this Fresh Sense Café altogether.

Actually, there were many similar service places, such as Iceland and Starbucks right next door.

But the words "fresh sense" made Tang Xian feel more comfortable.

There were a lot of service industries in the downtown area.

The amusement park was also in this area.

Qing JiuYu followed Tang Xian, asking as they walked:

"What do you plan to say to Xiao Ni when the time comes?"

Tang Xian shook his head, "I haven't thought it through yet, but I'll try to be as truthful as possible."

Guessing that Qing JiuYu might not understand, he added:

"Actually, the same story can have a very different effect when told in different tones. To speak truthfully is to use the most neutral tone possible. It's not just about the tone, but also not to add any subjective speculation."

"Do you think I exaggerated?"

"I believe that part of what Qing Jiuyun told you was distorted by your hatred for humanity. Xiaojiu's father might have been a coward who didn't dare to express his true feelings in an atmosphere where humans and beasts were irreconcilable, but whether he felt remorse, whether he later searched the world for Qing Jiuyun, you don't know, right?"

Qing JiuYu didn't like this suggestion:

"What do you mean? You're making the aggressor sound like the victim?"

Tang Xian walked toward the amusement park, which actually didn't have much valuable intelligence.

But he found this place novel and thought that in this group where girls were more prevalent, it could be prioritized for revival.

"You need to understand one thing."

"What's that?"

"The real aggressor was never Xiaojiu's father; the aggressor has always been just one party, that is, the prejudice and traditional view of Xiaojiu as something impure.

I'm not trying to whitewash a man who abandoned his woman.

But loving a beast, in the eyes of humans, is something unimaginable and terrifying.

And it's this unimaginability that comes from such an atmosphere. What we may need to do in the future is to turn this unimaginability into something normal, even desirable."

After entering the amusement park, Tang Xian realized that Li Xiaoyu, Dong Ran, and Qiao Shanshan might like these attractions.

But Tang Suoye and Tang Xiaojiu, the two kids, might not.

One could fly with telekinesis, the other could jump straight down from a nine-story building.

To these kids, the drop tower, roller coaster, Ferris wheel, and rapid river ride were probably quite dull.

The carousel, a slower-paced amusement ride, might be more interesting, right?

Besides these outdoor attractions, there were also indoor ones.

Tang Xian saw a real-life CS field, an ice rink, a go-kart track, and an arcade.

Qing JiuYu didn't understand these, but Tang Xian treasured them as if they were gems.

He inspected them carefully, and after some equipment was lubricated with machine oil, there was a good chance they could operate. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

Of course, things several hundred years old were bound to have safety hazards.

Attractions like roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and drop towers would definitely require a life-death agreement to be signed before anyone could use them.

"What are all these things? You seem so happy," Qing JiuYu inquired.

"This place will make me a lot of money in the future. But speaking of money, I need to prioritize establishing currency and revaluing goods first."

Qing JiuYu didn't understand.

Tang Xian was happy to explain, saying:

"After the great disaster, the value of goods came to be more reliant on their practicality. But production difficulty must also be considered. The prices of many goods need to be reworked.

Setting fair prices and researching a new currency that's not easy to counterfeit will greatly help the birth of a new civilization."

"A new civilization, you certainly are ambitious."

"Someone has to do these things. I'm not interested in being a faction leader, but right now with few people around, everything is taken freely. However, when more people arrive, if things continue in the same manner, it will quickly lead to internal strife."

Tang Xian thought long term.

Qing JiuYu understood somewhat.

Yet she quietly noted some of Tang Xian's statements, thinking he was much like a sage in a courtroom.

He seemed to understand a bit of everything.

After leaving the amusement park, Tang Xian arrived at Hua Xin Bookstore.

This was also a key destination for him today. Tang Xian hoped to make some discoveries here.

In bookstores from hundreds of years ago, there were already many auditory electronic reading materials.

Movies, games, music, and fragmented smartphone app experiences diversified entertainment methods for people.

But even if movies offered a more direct form of expression, many still felt a pure text reading experience provided more spiritual satisfaction.

Yet even this sector saw various developments as novel reading experiences gradually evolved towards multimedia.

For instance, in the most expensive shelf area in Hua Xin Bookstore, the products were discs that looked like CDs.

For the same book, the pure paper version, aside from first editions that held some collectible value and were pricier, the price of other paper versions was never as high as that of the disc versions, and their sales were much lower too.

For example, the best-selling e-sports book "Ruthless Gun God Lubenwei" that Qing JiuYu flipped through casually, the paper version was cheap.

But the auditory disc version was much more expensive because it featured the voice of the well-known host Ma Fei at the time.

Latterly, when the tastes of the audience changed, versions narrated by Guo Degang, Wang Situ, and others appeared. Simply put, the voices in auditory reading materials always followed the trends.
