Chapter 880 Knowing

So, when the adjutant took out the cigarettes, the men all felt their eyes light up.

Their lives were in danger, and they lived in fear every day. Even though they were hungry and clothed, sometimes it was difficult to find food for a day. Whenever the weather was bad, it was almost a disaster for them. However, these men still had an extraordinary enthusiasm for cigarettes. Sometimes they would find some tree ash in the forest, dry them, and then roll them up to smoke as cigarettes. These tree ash were not tobacco ash. In addition to the spicy smell of fireworks, they would only make the throat ache. Smoking this so-called "cigarette" was not enjoyable at all. But they still enjoyed it. When they were free or after dinner, they would smoke such a cigarette. Even if their eyes could not be opened by the smoke of this cigarette, even if they coughed repeatedly, they still regarded this as a rare enjoyment.

Now, they saw the cigarette in the adjutant's hand. Some of them had smoked it before, and their mouths were almost drooling after seeing it. The taste of cigarettes was so wonderful that they could not forget it. Now they saw what they had never thought about before was right in front of them. How could they not be ecstatic? Especially when the adjutant smoked a cigarette for each of them, some people took a deep puff of the cigarette and closed their mouths tightly to hold their breath, fearing that the smoke in their stomachs would escape too early. More people had not smoked for a long time, and they were not very good at smoking, so they had a headache. They could only sit on the ground and wait for the effect of the cigarette to pass.

Jiang Cheng was stunned watching from the side. Of course, he was calm on the surface. How to say this? His friends were all people of status and position. For the sake of health, many of these people did not smoke, and some people, No one smokes around Jiang Cheng or in places where Jiang Cheng is going to be, so it is understandable that Jiang Cheng was surprised by the power of cigarettes.

The adjutant looked at these smokers coldly. He didn't smoke either, and he hated the smell of cigarettes. When he was serving his sentence in the prison of Asek Planet, he was puzzled by the fact that the prisoners were so addicted to cigarettes. He saw with his own eyes that a prisoner blackmailed another prisoner. In the end, the prisoner handed over the cigarettes under the quilt after being beaten black and blue. Looking at his expression, it seemed that what he handed over was not cigarettes.

But it was like a treasure. As for the adjutant himself, because he didn't smoke, he could always get some pocket money no matter how hard it was in prison. After seeing that cigarettes had such a strong power, whenever he had money, he would exchange them for cigarettes, and then either sing a song to the boss in the prison, or take Yemo when he was out for exercise. He would offer his comrades one or two cigarettes to smoke. Seeing their overjoyed faces, and seeing them taking turns to share a cigarette and watching each other to prevent anyone from smoking too much, the adjutant could not help but want to laugh.

He clearly remembered that there were several times when those guys who smoked a lot of cigarettes and had a big mouth smoked most of a cigarette in one breath. In addition to being beaten up, no one would share cigarettes with him from then on.

When he was in the army, he was even more aware of the murders caused by cigarettes.

Two sergeants fought in a shocking way for a pack of cigarettes. Some sergeants killed a family in a grocery store just for a pack of cigarettes. Once, a sergeant went to a small town to buy cigarettes. I don’t know how other sergeants knew about it. The body of the sergeant was left on the roadside with no one paying attention to him, and the cigarettes on his body flew away. Another time, a senior officer tattooed a sergeant to death for smoking his cigarettes.

Things like this are not uncommon in the army.

Therefore, the adjutant knew the power of cigarettes. There was an essential difference between him and Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng was powerful and was admired and flattered by all districts and even many planets. Money was useless to him. As long as he opened his mouth, he would say that the housekeeper Lao Zhao spent money like water and there seemed to be not much money left in the account.

Immediately, the people around him signaled their clerks, assistants, etc. to take out various cards or checks and let Jiang Cheng use them. These people were all smart people. They certainly knew that once Jiang Cheng owed them a favor, when they needed his help, they would have to pay him back. The help they asked Jiang Cheng to do was extremely important and even related to their lives. No matter how much Jiang Cheng took, they would not care.

Of course, Jiang Cheng never did it once. These people were smart people. He would only be smarter than them. He certainly knew that once he owed these people a favor, when they needed him to come forward to repay, it would often be some extremely tricky things. Although Jiang Cheng had almost nothing he could not solve, he would not do anything that was too cost-effective.

Jiang Cheng was born in a noble family, while the adjutant was just the son of a businessman. He understood human nature better than Jiang Cheng, especially because he had served time in prison, where dark human nature gathered. If you were not careful, being beaten up would be considered good, and losing your life would not be surprising.

Of course, there are feelings between people, but more often, if there are no certain benefits under the guise of feelings, the feelings will not be too strong. Then the benefits can be more or less, big or small, depending on the other party's worth.

For example, for the same banquet, if you invite celebrities to attend, the price will be high for the famous ones and low for the less famous ones. The prices of the two cannot be mistaken.

The adjutant had the honor of attending a noble event on the planet Asek. The front seats on the viewing platform were reserved for distinguished guests. People like him didn't have a seat. But in order to save face in front of his sweetheart and at least not stand there in a shabby manner, he spent a lot of money to buy a seat from a young noble. The young noble happened to be in a hurry to leave, so everyone was happy.

Therefore, the adjutant knew that if you want people to do things and listen to you, you have to pay the corresponding price. The price can be feelings or money. Here, on the planet Sek, in front of these people, it is cigarettes.

The price for these people to pick up guns is so low, just a pack or even a few cigarettes.

The adjutant was not in a hurry. He stood there quietly, waiting for those people's cigarettes to move.

Some people finish the cigarette in just a few puffs and then lie straight on the ground, enjoying the dizzying aroma but the high that seems to take them to the clouds. Others take small puffs, feeling the feeling of the smoke going in and out of their mouths and slowly entering their organs.
