Chapter 36 Gamblers Will Die a Bitter Death
The moonlight swayed gently on the windowsill, the breeze softly caressed the incense, and the wafting sandalwood fragrance lulled one to sleep.
But Vijay couldn't sleep because the image didn't appear immediately.
This time, unlike last time, the screen didn't immediately display anything. No matter how much Vijay fiddled with the system, there was no response from the screen.
Upon closer reflection, it seems that this thing needs to be triggered to appear!
Wouldn't that completely destroy everything?
The thought of embarking on that perilous business journey with little knowledge filled Vijay with despair.
Moreover, without any talent points to rely on, if they encounter any crisis that directly threatens their safety, they won't even be able to add points to increase their combat power to protect themselves!
Vijay, the gambling addict, fell into deep regret and contemplation!
If, if we could do it all over again...
Vijay suddenly shook his head. Regret was useless; what he needed to do most now was to please himself as soon as possible.
So now, what should I do to make myself genuinely happy?
He racked his brains but couldn't come up with anything he desperately wanted.
I really can't feel happy right now!
After gazing at the moon for a few moments, Vijay simply shrugged...
Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep!
Maybe when the sun rises, I'll have new desires?
I lay down on the bed, closed my eyes, and silently recited hypnotic scriptures, quickly becoming immersed in darkness.
Vijay was awakened by a rich aroma.
"Maya, what delicious food did you make today?" Vijay sat up and called Maya's name as usual.
Waiting for her to cleanse his body, dress him, and serve him delicious food.
"Master, you're awake?"
The voice made Vijay pause, and the figure that followed made him feel extremely uneasy.
It's Mira!
Why did this guy come over here?
What about the Maya?
Vijay instinctively covered his nearly half-naked body, which was covered by a bathrobe.
But all she saw was Mila carrying a new dress, walking forward like any virtuous and gentle newlywed wife.
"Please let me help you change!" The voice was gentle and full of laughter, almost suppressing the arrogance of her angular face, and went straight into Vijay's chest.
This scene did not completely open Vijay's heart. He stood up, snatched the clothes from Mira's hand, casually put them on, and rushed out of the room.
Just then, someone carrying a tray walked in from outside. Vijay's body reacted instinctively; he spun around and just barely dodged Maya carrying the tray.
"Ah, Master!" Maya was startled and almost dropped the plate, spilling spices all over it, and the fragrant roast chicken and fish fell to the ground.
"Come and have a taste! Mila made this breakfast herself; it's a northern style, I'm sure it'll suit Master's taste!"
Vijay glanced at the plate, then at Maya, who was holding the plate with a smile that showed no sign of displeasure, and then at Mira, who was kneeling on the ground and whose expression remained completely unchanged despite his overreaction.
Vijay had to admit, this woman was something else.
After only a moment's hesitation, Sigma Man wasn't so easily swayed!
He hastily dressed, grabbed a roast chicken, and strode towards the door without looking back.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Rajan walking towards me.
Upon seeing Vijay, Rajan immediately tried to prostrate himself in reverence, but Vijay reached out and took his arm, casually tearing off a juicy chicken leg and handing it to him.
Gazing into his master's gentle yet authoritative eyes, Rajan was filled with trepidation and respectfully accepted the gift with both hands.
Vijay casually asked, "Rajan, how's your control over those Dalits going?"
Rajan immediately bowed, head bowed, and replied with utmost respect: "Shiva, bless you! Master, all is well! I was just about to report this to you!"
"I just returned from Harappa City and had already purchased enough supplies, but I just saw several thousand Dalits arriving outside the village..."
"It seems the quantity of items purchased is insufficient!"
"It's alright!" Vijay nodded. When he originally arranged for Rajan to mark out the territory and make preparations, he hadn't expected Roshman to relocate two entire villages of Dalits. This wasn't a problem. "Have you gone to see those Dalits?"
"Yes, my master!" Rajan nodded again, then added with a hint of complaint, "These Dalits aren't as well-behaved as those in our village. Most of them are uncouth and unruly. In just a short time, they've already polluted the area with their filth!"
With over 3000 people there, this was inevitable.
Rajan continued, "Master, we must follow your wise foresight and provide them with a place to stay to prevent them from completely disrupting the village!"
Vijay nodded slightly, his expression calm: "What are you planning to do?"
Rajan pondered for a moment, then cautiously advised, "Master, it would be a waste of manpower to put all these Dalits into the fields for cultivation!"
"Why not allocate some of them to go to the mountains to cut timber? This would provide them with timber for building their own homes, and the remaining timber could be transported to the city to sell, thus supplementing the village's deficit and supplementing its finances..."
At this point, Rajan's face showed worry, and his voice became even more respectful, "But master, when I went to the storeroom to get money earlier, there were hardly any coins left, I'm afraid..."
Vijay understood that the Mittal family's true wealth was far greater than what was seen in the village storehouse; Rajan simply didn't know the details.
"You don't need to worry about the money," Vijay paused, "I'll have Maya put some money into the vault later."
Building a logging camp is indeed an urgent task. Thinking of this, Vijay suddenly remembered the "Object Control" in his system. He could take a look at how this thing works.
Could it be that Brahma manifested himself and conjured up a logging camp in an instant?
If that's really the case, then it would be a huge problem!
Imagining this, Vijay opened the artifact, selected it, and spent 100 gold coins to purchase a lumberyard.
In an instant, a blur of light and shadow appeared before my eyes, and a phantom map of a village appeared. A virtual logging camp was transformed into a buoy, clearly imprinted on the map.
This Vijay is familiar!
It's just about choosing a site and building structures.
Vijay's gaze turned to the mountain valley to the east, the place where Rajan had almost been burned to death. He remembered that it was a densely forested area, an ideal place for logging.
Once the idea was made up, Vijay chose the location of the logging camp in that mountain forest. With a tap of his finger, the map and the light and shadow instantly disappeared, as if they had never existed.
After making his choice, Vijay stared longingly towards the east, but nothing happened.
Rajan, however, seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Master, I've heard of a Shudra in the city who comes from a family of lumberjacks and is skilled in logging and wood identification. Should I go and hire him...?"
Vijay, unsure whether the system had secretly guided this, didn't ask further and simply nodded slowly in agreement: "Alright."
With this matter settled, after a brief pause, Vijay asked again, "Rajan, in your opinion, what is the most urgent thing we need right now in terms of arranging these Dalits?"
Rajan pondered for a moment, then, without the slightest hesitation, replied, "Holy Lord, Divine Cow, we now need at least ten divine cows!"
"A divine cow?"
This answer caught Vijay off guard, and he hadn't quite processed it yet.
Rajan quickly added, clearing up his doubts: "Among these Dalits, I see that many are sick. We have limited manpower and cannot care for them all. Moreover, the urine and excrement of the few sacred cows that originally existed in the village are simply not enough to save so many patients!"
