Chapter 126: 126. Mark and Lucy’s Conversation

Mark patted Lucy’s head. "It’s fine. Don’t pay attention to him."

"Hmm." Lucy nodded and snorted.

"Do you want to tell Anna about this matter?"

"Yes." Lucy nodded. "It’s good that she’s not here. This Jake is just like a cockroach. He kept on appearing again and again, making people annoyed just by his mere presence."

Mark nodded. "Don’t be angry. There wouldn’t be any Jake again for a long period of time. We’re going to a different base from them."

"Huh? Different?" Lucy’s eyes lit up with happiness.

"Yes." Mark took out his phone. "There are a total of three bases so far that have been confirmed in this city. The first is our parents’ base, City A Base. The name is very formal because it’s an official base. The second one is Sunshine Base that’s built by 10 relatively rich and influential people."

"Wait, rich and influential people?" Lucy stopped Mark from continuing. "Do you mean Stafford, Williams, and the others?"

"They’re included."

Lucy sneered when she heard that.

These businessmen cared nothing but their own profit. Do you really think that the base they built together would be able to truly work well and they cared for the well being of the people below them who were working hard?

To be honest, Lucy highly doubted that it could ever happen.

Because she knew very well that these people would do their best to earn as much profit as possible no matter what the method they used.

Of course, she didn’t mean all of them.

But the few people whose names she recognized were all doing those kinds of annoying things and had caused a lot of trouble on their own.

For example, the Williams Family.

She was the most familiar with them because Anna shared a bit about the story of her family and the actions of her father that she disapproved of. She didn’t like what her father was doing, but she also couldn’t do much because her father was the one who controlled the entire business.

Being a young woman and also didn’t have much knowledge in the business field, Anna could only stand on the sidelines.

She heard about some things occasionally and didn’t really like it.

The Williams Family was one of the few people who cut down a lot of ’unnecessary costs’ such as the safety measure, the security, the material cost, and even many others. Everything was cut down to the lowest point possible without showing much difference on the surface.

All for the sake of profit.

Because of this action, the Williams Family was able to become rich very quickly and rise in the ranks. With that, their connection expanded and their business thrived.

But at what cost?

Many people who used their products were at risk because the quality was not as what they truly advertised. Instead, the quality was so low that it would easily break.

Some people post bad reviews.

But with the water army showing tons of good reviews, it was hard to find these bad reviews and see the truth that has been covered with so many sweet words on the surface.

It was very disgusting.

At the very least, Lucy hated this practice.

Some companies were good and really did good business.

But some other companies were just like the Williams Family, doing whatever they wanted without caring for the consequences.

It was truly pathetic.

People have the mentality of trying. Even if there were a lot of bad reviews, as long as the good reviews were still overwhelmingly large, they were willing to try the product.

They would think that it was not as bad as what these people said.

And when they bought it, they would realize that these people were correct and then add their own bad review. Or some of them were even too lazy to leave a review and simply put the store on their blacklist.

And the cycle continued.

Again and again, many people did the same, which contributed to the sale list and the money entered the pocket of these businessmen.

If their products were fine, it was alright.

After all, the customers paid for the product they wanted and were satisfied with it.

But if their products were nothing more than scam?

Hehehe, that was called a liar.

And so on.

If these people who only cared about profit were making a base, could they truly care for the people below them?

From the name of these businessmen, Lucy highly doubts it.

"Some of them have relatively good business and fame, which will definitely attract people to come." Mark shrugged. "No matter whether they’re actually really good or bad, at least they tried to make a base that can save a lot of people’s lives."

Lucy pouted. "Let’s just hope that they didn’t abuse their power and truly manage a proper base."

Mark nodded.

Neither of them would want to go to the private base.

Even though the official base might be a bit more restrictive compared to the private base and there would be some differences, but an official base is usually much safer.

In order to attract people, it was estimated that the requirement to enter the private base will be lowered.

This way, more people would be willing to go.

After all, they could save some of their own supplies, which was definitely a good thing.

"Hmm, by the way, do you feel the temperature is getting hotter now, Mark?" Lucy took a fan and fanned her face. She didn’t usually sweat in her room except when exercising but today, she sweated quite a lot.

Mark looked at the room thermometer at the side and narrowed his eyes. The temperature was just like summer.

"It’s over 40 degrees celsius."

"Huh?" Lucy was stunned. "The normal room temperature is only between 25 to 33 degrees celsius, right?"

"Yes." Mark furrowed his eyebrows and lowered the AC temperature. If the temperature kept on rising like this, it was estimated that there would be more problems such as heat stroke and something else.
