Bringing Culture to a Different World

Marceau looked at the orange cat sitting on the table vigilantly.

She had guessed that the Orange Cat was the incarnation of a powerful spellcaster, but Marceau still couldn’t believe that it had risen to the level of a god in one go.

“Does it have something to do with it? All you need to know is that I can help you create the little tyrant and the arcade, isn’t that enough?”

When facing the leader of the sewing gang, Jose did not try to fool her anymore. He chose a more practical way to talk to her.

This woman named Marceau had lived in this chaotic city since she was young. It was already incredible that she could learn magic. Jose did not expect her to have faith in an illusory god like the Lizard Elder.

“Then will you really purify the gray fog and save the residents of this city?”Marceau asked another question.

“The first part is true, but the second part… if you think it’s true, then it’s true.”

In fact, Joshua was not interested in playing tricks. After he finished preaching, if the bystanders did not want to believe him, he would not continue preaching.

With the attitude that believe it or not, you would still be happy in the end. Joshua was too lazy to argue with this woman.

“I believe that you are a god, but if I believe in you, can you help me fulfill any wishes?”

Marceau sat back on her sofa and lit another cigarette.

“Wishes? Are you going to play the sequel of the King of Fighters, or a new arcade game? Like alloy bullets, knights of the Round Table, dinosaurs, and so on. As long as you make a wish, I can help you fulfill it in a short period of time.”

Jose controlled the Orange Cat to spread out his two small paws, looking like a god who pitied the world.

“A game.”Marceau muttered this word and then walked to the only window in her room. Through this, Marceau could see the situation in the arcade hall below.

The sounds below were very noisy. The shouts of the people playing in front of the arcade mixed with the various sound effects of “Fuel consumption”and so on.

To be honest..

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the residents of this city so energetic,”marceau whispered softly. “The existence of the laughter mixture makes us live in a dream world. The real world is just a corpse. The residents of this city do nothing but lie on the streets or sleep in their homes every day, waiting for the arrival of the release date of the laughter mixture.”

“After all, you’re not so much residents as livestock raised by the City Lords.”

Jose did not hold back in his words. This woman named Marceau was one of the humans that Jose had met in this city that felt more ‘alive’.

Next were black tail and the members of the sewing gang. They knew that they had things to do and territories to take care of. Every day, they had to fight with the other gangs in this city.

But most of the residents in the city were just corpses.

“Livestock? You keep talking about the mayor of this city.”Marceau shook the cigarette butt in his hand. “From what you said, the mayor doesn’t seem to be a human thing?”

“I’m not sure if your mayor is… The thing itself or the agent of that thing, but one thing is certain. You will live in this environment. There is a monster that feeds on your negative emotions, despair, sadness, laziness… These are its food,”Jose told Marceau the truth.

“Negative emotions.”Marceau suddenly laughed after hearing the truth. “No wonder this city… is so suffocating.”

While Jose and Marceau were talking, something unexpected happened in the arcade below. Two strong men from the sewing gang were holding a thin young man and were ready to throw him out of the arcade.

“I still have some eagle claw coins! I really do! Please let me play one more game and I will definitely defeat the big snake!”The young man prayed to the two strong men from the sewing gang.

Jose looked at the scene below and was silent for a moment.

“Ask your men to let him go,”said Jose.

“So what if you let him go? Do you want these useless pieces of trash to stay here and occupy the space?”Marceau had always been unable to tolerate these people who were willing to degenerate.

The Orange Cat just sat by the Windowsill and looked at Marceau. Marceau sighed and had to wave to the two strong men of the sewing gang below. They let the young man go and the young man kept saying thanks, in the blink of an eye, they returned to the arcade.

“The financial system of this city… to put it simply, where did all the money they had come from?”

Jose looked at the people gathered in the arcade. If everyone in the city drank the laughter mixture, Jose did not think that the city would continue to develop normally.

“Rations may be like what you said. Every resident can get some food and eagle claw coins in the city. The eagle claw coins can be exchanged with the city lord for clothes and laughter pills. Of course, the laughter pills are very expensive,”Marceau said.

“In this situation, I really want people to sing Katyusha.”Why did this system sound familiar to Joshua?

“Katyusha?”

“Nothing… isn’t it right? Don’t you want to change the situation?”Joshua said.

“Change… how should I change it? Let My men go to war with the patrol team? Every member of the patrol team has been given a terrifying power. Ordinary people are no match for them,”Marceau said.

“There’s no need to start a war. There’s a huge hole below the city. That Hole is the territory of the Quest Society. What are they going to do with it… I think you know that the key is that there’s a primary crystal ore vein below the hole.”

This was the information thousand faces had obtained during his investigation. It was also the source of the primary crystal ore in the city.

“You have to use the money you earned. What can you only buy from the city Lord with Eagle Claw Coins?”Jose asked.

“Clothes, food, and some daily necessities.”

Marceau gradually sat up straight when she heard this. She began to treat Joshua’s suggestion seriously.

“You heard my discussion with the Lizard Elder just now. I. . . You can think of it this way. I am the incarnation of the god of order. My next plan is to establish an underground religion in this city. But I don’t think the people in this city would be so free to believe in a god. But I have this thing.”

A small overlord crystal appeared in Jose’s hand. The sewing gang had started to sell this crystal, and its potential customers were gradually increasing.

“What are you trying to say?”Marceau asked.

“The city lord used the laughing mixture to control the residents of this city. We can do the same thing, but in the name of a god, these believers will join us for this crystal or for playing arcade games. After they join us, they will be paid with eagle claws or game coins to work for me. The content of their work… there are many other things besides mining.”

At that moment Marceau seemed to see the smile on the Orange Cat’s face like that of a ‘stupid human’.
