Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 29

Chapter 29, What’s Wrong with the Puppet?

Gu Hang said that he wanted to use these abscess monsters as a source of food, and he was not talking nonsense to disgust people.

He really thought so.

If there is a choice, then of course normal food is better than anything else. But in this wasteland, the production conditions are like this, and the number of people that can be fed is limited. Don’t we have to find all ways? It

is always more important to eat well than to eat well.

This technology, of course, can be drawn from the [Technology] panel. But the mechanism that lights up a technology once and the probability of shipment drops sharply makes each technology quota precious. If there is a choice, Gu Hang does not want to obtain this technology from the [Technology] panel. He prefers to use normal means to achieve his goals.

His eyes looked up to the sky.

A certain force on the Angry Owl Star may have mastered similar technology. However, on the one hand, Gu Hang has never seen it near Fuxing City, which means that even if this technology exists, it is very far away and difficult to obtain. On the other hand, synthetic starch technology is probably very precious on the wasteland planet, and those forces will not hand it over casually.

Instead of wasting time on it, it would be better to go and get some money from the Quintet.

A giant starship like the Quintet has a population of 100,000 people, and there is no chance to land for supplies all the time, especially during missions. They must have the technology to recycle almost all usable organic matter.

Thinking of this, he coughed twice again, a little embarrassed, thinking: “I just asked her for 200 sets of equipment and four armored vehicles last time. It doesn’t feel good to ask for new technology today?”

“Then I won’t ask her today. I’ll ask her tomorrow.”

Gu Hang thought so, and felt much more relieved.

Gu Hang, who was happy, hummed a little tune and waited for the merchant from Garbage Town, Denison Henry.

…

Denison Henry finally met Governor Gu Hang.

After a thorough body search, he was taken to the door of the Governor’s house.

This is just a board house. Except for being larger, it looks no different from the board houses built next to it where the slaves live. There were no special decorations, nor were any expensive materials used.

The guard pushed open the door, and Henry walked in. All he saw was plainness.

There were no special decorations in the room, just an ordinary long table. A man who looked quite young sat at the other end of the long table.

That should be Governor Gu Hang.

This Governor was quite out of tune with his environment. The surroundings were so simple, but his clothes were so exquisite. But this difference became insignificant because of the Governor’s calm attitude towards this simple environment.

Henry didn’t dare to observe any more.

He lowered his head and came to this side of the long table. He didn’t dare to sit down, but put one hand on his chest and then bowed deeply.

Maintaining a bowing posture, he humbly said: “My name is Denison Henry, from Junk Town, and I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to His Excellency the Governor. Your speech when you landed on this planet was so well-known that I deeply understood that you came to this dying planet with great ambitions and compassion to save us, the subjects. As a resident of the Angry Owl Star, I have great respect for your nobleness.”

A rainbow fart came up firmly.

While speaking, Henry also took out a beautifully packaged box.

“When I learned that I had the honor to meet His Excellency the Governor, I was so excited that I was determined to prepare a gift for you to express my respect for you. It’s a pity that time is too short, and there is only this small gift. I hope His Excellency the Governor will not mind.”

He continued to maintain a bowing posture, holding the gift box in both hands and raising it above his head.

The guard next to him came up, took the gift from his hand, and then brought it to Gu Hang.

Gu Hang didn’t even look at the gift box, his eyes were always on Denison Henry, with an interested smile on his lips.

“Get up, your waist will break if you keep going like this.”

Henry straightened up as he said.

“Sit down, let’s have a good chat.”

Henry dared to sit down.

Gu Hang knocked on the table and said, “Denison Henry, I already know your intention.”

Henry said cautiously, “Please give me this opportunity to serve you, Your Excellency the Governor.”

Gu Hang chuckled and said, “You are very good at talking, and I am also very satisfied with your attitude. I know that what you say may not be what you really think, but I don’t care. I can give you this business, but I have two conditions. First, I will give you the goods and what I need. You must bring it to me in quality and quantity, and there can be no discount.”

The first half of Gu Hang’s sentence, the so-called “may not be sincere”, made him feel a little uneasy. But the second sentence made him happy in an instant.

Obtaining the agency rights itself was his biggest demand for meeting the governor this time.

As for the latter request, Henry thought it was no different from giving it for free. It was not a request, but another great gift from the Governor. Of course, he had to pay for the goods, and now he could get the money back by helping the Governor buy the things he needed.

Could this be a bad thing?

He nodded without hesitation: “No problem! I am willing to serve the Governor!”

Gu Hang waved his hand and said, “I have a second request. You need to expand your influence in Garbage Town as much as possible and become an agent, or even a big agent.”

Hearing this second request, Henry calmed down a little.

Seeking to become one of the agents of Garbage Town is his goal. Logically speaking, the Governor gave this condition, which did not conflict with him, and he should be happy.

However, he thought he was not stupid and would not fail to understand the hidden meaning behind the request.

With the support of the Governor, he became an important agent of Garbage Town, and then what? Who has the final say, himself or the Governor as his boss behind the scenes?

But he quickly put this hesitation and entanglement behind his mind.

It is inexplicable to think about these things.

There is a big thigh in front of him, shouldn’t he hug it?

What’s wrong with being a puppet? How many people want to be one but can’t.

And it doesn’t have to be a puppet. If he works seriously for the governor, doesn’t he have some power of his own? The governor is busy with all kinds of things every day. When he is in charge of a small garbage town, doesn’t he have the final say? At most, he has to complete the governor’s goals and follow the governor’s pace, which is also reasonable!

What’s more… To put it bluntly, it is not certain whether the governor will still be the governor in two years.

Thinking of this, he saw the half-smile on Gu Hang’s face, and he didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

He always felt that he would be seen through.
