Chapter 56
☪ Dream Come True Group 2
The aroma in the room had transformed into the smell of hot pot.
The prosecutor took a deep breath and suddenly started drooling.
So she picked up a pen and began filling in the first label on Lu Shi's personal self-assessment form: foodie.
"Hello, welcome to the Dream Come True Group. May I ask your name?"
"Lu Shi".
The man looked around and couldn't find a single fault with the room.
Even though he had forgotten where he came from and why he was there, he still had a good first impression of this unfamiliar Dream Come True Group.
Is this where he will live and work from now on?
Hmm, that should be pretty good.
"Do you remember where you came from?" The prosecutor smiled and quietly wrote down a label:
cautious.
“I…” Lu Shi thought hard for a while, but strange images appeared in his mind.
A dilapidated ruin, twisted limbs, mutated humans, and a monster taller than a mountain.
“I’m a pathetic scavenger.” Lu Shi shook his head, seemingly unable to bear recalling that terrible memory.
“Don’t be afraid, child.” The prosecutor’s eyes softened even more as she reached out and handed Lu Shi a warm cup of coffee. “Once you’re here with us, all your past suffering will cease to exist.”
“Now,” the prosecutor smiled and asked in an extremely hypnotic tone, “what is your dream? We can fulfill it for you.”
"Any dream is acceptable?" Lu Shi asked, somewhat incredulous.
Dream, what a noble word!
These are words he, as someone who lives a life of constant hiding and living in fear, can hardly believe.
He thought that in his obscure life, he was never worthy of mentioning his dreams.
But now, this gentle woman looked at Lu Shi and asked him what his dream was.
Unfortunately, in Lu Shi's limited memories, he seemed to have always lived in that desolate wilderness where people were starving and monsters roamed everywhere.
He hadn't even met his basic survival needs, so how could he have time to think about his dreams?
Seeing that Lu Shi did not answer for a long time, the lady did not urge him. At this moment, she gently drew a circle in the air with her hand.
So a screen appeared in front of Lu Shi.
“Perhaps you can take a look at this. It’s our promotional video,” the prosecutor said.
“But there are still people in line behind us,” Lu Shi said softly. He didn’t want to be cursed at by the people in line behind him for dawdling here.
"Don't worry, as long as you're at Dream Come True Group, even if you have to wait in line, we'll prioritize your experience," the prosecutor said confidently.
Outside this room is a long, transparent, sealed corridor.
The corridor is sheltered from the scorching sun and the rain, and even the temperature is set to the optimal level.
There were eight people sitting in the corridor.
Each of them still looked confused, but there was a small table next to them.
On the small table are dishes made with the best taste and the golden ratio of nutritionists.
Every bite takes into account both your taste and your health.
Yes, none of the people queuing here showed any anxiety or impatience. They all knew very well that the place they were in was the safest and happiest place in the world.
Lu Shi hummed in response and quickly focused his attention on the constantly changing screen.
"This is the Dream Come True Group!" A very beautiful woman wearing an expensive coat walked out of a towering building.
Behind her, every passerby, regardless of their gender or skin color, wore a genuine smile.
Seeing this, Lu Shi didn't even notice that the corners of his mouth had involuntarily turned up, and he smiled just like the person on the screen.
The woman then continued, "You would never guess that before I came here, I was just a skinny little girl who was almost eaten by my own father."
She recounted her past experiences so frankly, which greatly surprised Lu Shi. Of course, he also felt a pang of sympathy for her.
“Oh, that was a tragic past.” The woman shook her head. “But I survived. Look at me, aren’t I doing well now? The Dream Come True Group saved me; they gave me a wonderful life. Yes, I was reborn here!”
"And now," the scene shifts to a woman in a farm, where more than a dozen adorable animals rush into her arms as soon as she enters, "I am the owner of a farm. Yes, the Susie luncheon meat that you often eat is my product."
Lu Shi suddenly swallowed. Become a farmer? That seems like a great career. Is it possible to achieve such a dream?
The prosecutor seemed to be able to read Lu Shi's mind just by looking at his face. She looked at Lu Shi and said softly:
"If you also want to be like Susie, we will certainly provide you with services. For example, we will arrange for someone to teach you farm management and basic animal husbandry. Of course, we will also provide you with a plot of farmland and grassland. As for whether you can develop a farm like Susie's, that depends on your abilities."
Lu Shi nodded, feeling as if his heart was burning.
The reason is simple: he finally understood how wonderful, inspiring, and moving it was to find and realize his dream.
If only he could be like Susie!
The protagonist in the video has changed again; this is an elderly man who looks at least seventy years old.
His gray hair and hunched back couldn't hide the light in his eyes.
"Hello everyone, I think many of you here know me." The old man stood by the lake, where many people were boating and playing on the crystal-clear water.
“I am an ordinary lake keeper, Master Ye. My dream is simple: to protect the lake. If someone accidentally falls into the water, I will rescue them immediately.”
"Of course, if there is trash in the lake, I will clean it up. Many people may see this kind of ordinary life as tedious and boring. But I don't think so."
"Compared to my previous sixty years of life, it was the first time I realized that I could be needed and respected by people."
"At Dream Come True Group, you can either pursue your grand life goals or, like me, live an ordinary life. Here, everyone's dream deserves respect!"
Lu Shi was deeply moved.
It turns out that dreams are not just about making a lot of money; it turns out that everyone is respected here.
He raised his head and covered his chest with his hand, afraid that his heartbeat was so rapid that it would jump out of his chest.
“I’ve made up my mind. I want to be a chef,” Lu Shi said earnestly. “It would be even better if I could open a restaurant.”
"A nice dream." The prosecutor nodded. "However, the meaning of 'chef' is very broad. I'm afraid you'll find your favorite type as you continue to learn. I look forward to tasting your food at your restaurant."
“Oh, right,” the prosecutor said, not forgetting to hand the form to Lu Shi, “after you fill it out, please give it to the housing department, and they will provide you with the most suitable accommodation.”
As Lu Shi left, he brushed past a very tall man.
That person was very handsome, but he looked rather intimidating.
So Lu Shi quickly withdrew his gaze. He knew that if he offended the other party, things wouldn't end so easily.
"Ye Bugui".
Ye Bugui sat down, and his mood calmed down after seeing the prosecutor.
Dream Come True Group? That sounds pretty good; at least he won't have to be the hunter anymore.
"Hunters?" The prosecutor was somewhat surprised.
She sized up Ye Bugui, then suddenly pressed a well-hidden red button that she had placed under her book.
The button clicked, and soon a man's deep, magnetic voice reached the prosecutor's ears:
"Good day, madam. Ye Bugui has passed our screening and baptism. He is safe."
Then the prosecutor finally revealed a kind smile: "Hello Mr. Ye, hunters are a rare species here. Why did you think of coming here?"
"I'm tired of living in hiding." Ye Bugui shook his head. As soon as he calmed down, he could hear the sounds of storms and fighting.
Hunters in the wilderness often hunt not monsters a hundred times their size, but weaker, lone scavengers.
“That’s normal.” The prosecutor quietly wrote down a comment, longing for a new life. “No one doesn’t yearn for a peaceful and tranquil life. And you’ve come to the right place. At Dream Come True Group, you no longer have to worry.”
Ye Bugui laughed: "That's great, I really like it here. I thought someone like me would be expelled, after all, I've done a lot of awful things."
“Child, that’s all in the past.” The prosecutor stood up and patted Ye Bugui on the shoulder. “Who hasn’t made mistakes? Since you’ve passed the baptism, it means the chairman has forgiven you.”
"Child, why don't you look to the future? What are your dreams?"
Ye Bugui was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that being able to stay here was the greatest blessing.
But unexpectedly, he was able to realize his dream.
Is this paradise?
"I...I want to be a teacher." Ye Bugui lowered his head, the big guy actually becoming shy: "Actually, I really like children. But given my experience, it's probably very difficult to achieve, isn't it?"
“Who said that?” The prosecutor shook her head. She stood up, straightened her posture, and realized she was actually taller than Ye Bugui. She placed her hands on Ye Bugui's shoulders, comforting him, “Here, everyone is equal. Let bygones be bygones! We can fulfill your dream!”
Ye Bugui left in a panic, putting the form in his pocket, but daring not to have any expectations for his own house.
He always believed that with his abilities, he didn't deserve a better house. If he made any more outrageous demands, he would probably be condemned by everyone, and might even give up on realizing his dream.
So he very rationally chose the most basic apartment, which was the towering building that Susie had just been standing behind.
Of course, such apartments are not considered inferior.
After Ye Bugui entered the real estate department, he saw a beautiful woman who looked a lot like a movie star walking towards him.
She tossed her silky blonde hair before looking at Ye Bugui and said softly:
"Hello, Mr. Ye Bugui. You are a very intelligent person. Happiness Home Apartments is definitely the best house in our Dream Come True Group."
At that moment, a man who looked like a dwarf but was dressed in very expensive clothes ran over.
He put his hands on his hips and tossed a flashy real estate advertisement at Ye Bugui's feet.
"Who says that? Our lakeside villa area is the best! Friend, take one home; with it, your social standing will skyrocket!"
Ye Bugui responded blankly, "Villa? Is it the kind of villa he's thinking of? So someone like him can actually live in a villa? This is simply...unbelievable!"
"Can I really do it?" Ye Bugui glanced at the advertisement in his hand, still finding it hard to believe.
