29 Should We Trust the Government? (2/2)
”Waiittt a second, how do you even lose money operating a casino??!!! The dealers and those slot machines are usually the ones winning!”
”Woah, are you guys serious? That guy was elected to be the president?”
”Oh, Wang Magazine and Wang Mortgage, the timing for both of these businesses was awful. Both started right before the 2008 recession because the guy thought the economy was going strong, so both obviously didn't make it.”
”Right, I heard something about Wang Steaks, and I thought it was a joke until I heard someone tell me that they filed for bankruptcy too.”
”LOOOL, same, I thought people were joking when they told me about Wang University and Wang Vodka, and how he called Mexicans rapists.”
”Well, don't forget how he doesn't want to disclose his taxes information and how he still didn't pay a lot of his employees' money.”
”Wow, that's your country's president?!”
”Well, the other candidate did put up a tough fight on who could be the worse option, so Wang got elected.”
Jay was speechless seeing what was happening in the chat. It seemed like his audiences are pretty knowledgeable about this kind of stuff. ”And yeah, that's why I don't think the government can get us out of this one in the foreseeable future. This outlaw organization could easily take on the government in terms of military power, so how could the country enforce the law on them? Nirvana is still winning easily, and it seems like it wants to play with us first. So I guess, my advice to you all is, if you don't have a better option, play along. Get more Nirvana credits, buy supplies, and try to stay alive. Nothing will matter if you die, and we hope to see each and every one of you guys here every time we stream!”
”Yeah! We got this!”
”Yeah be safe, guys!”
Well, the game started, and the audiences of the stream could finally shift their attention away from politics to the gameplay.
This time, the group was playing squad mode on the map, Sanhok, which is the smallest map available in the game, known for its fast and intense game pace.
TL Note:
I must be honest, to be incredibly strict, this is a filler chap because it doesn't progress the main storyline, but I thought it was perfectly normal to have them in web novels, and it will help give context to how the government will react and do next, and what prompted Nirvana to take on the world. It will help blur the boundary between black and white, right and wrong, and how the villain (Nirvana for now) and the government are both in grey scale. But I will take the criticisms and make the info-chaps more subtle and concise in the future, which is why I did this chap as an experiment when the novel is free to read (don't know what Webnovel will do in the future).Anyways, thanks for everyone's input!
