The dawn of a new day brought with it a familiar rhythm for Mansoor as he engaged in his morning routine. After sharing breakfast with Ilyas, Mansoor decided to alter his usual course of action. Rather than venturing out himself, he turned to Ilyas with a proposition, "Ilyas, if I ask you to go outside and look for jobs, can you do that?"
Ilyas, with the capability and consciousness granted by the system, readily agreed. It was a moment of realization for Mansoor, who had not fully grasped the extent of the system's functions and the autonomy of the deadmen. With this newfound understanding, he summoned 9 additional deadmen and tasked Ilyas and the group with the job hunt, instructing them to report back with any opportunities.
With Ilyas and the first group on their way, Mansoor summoned another 10 deadmen, directing them to a different city. This process was repeated eight times, with groups being sent to various cities across Pakistan. With the deadmen dispatched, Mansoor turned his attention to the future, plotting a course that would secure not only employment for his charges but also financial stability for himself.
Calculating the potential earnings from the 2000 deadmen already at work, Mansoor was taken aback by the figure that materialized—42 million PKR, roughly equivalent to 400,000 USD. The realization that he could amass a fortune in such a short time brought a mix of shock and elation, manifesting in a hearty laugh. The prospect of fully employing all 100,000 deadmen and the wealth that could follow left him momentarily stunned.
With clarity and ambition, Mansoor began to outline his business ventures. Poultry farming emerged as a viable starting point, profitable and requiring minimal investment. It was the perfect entry into the world of business, a stepping stone to larger projects once capital accumulated.
As the afternoon approached, Ilyas's call broke Mansoor's contemplation. Jobs for 800 people had been found, and Ilyas was sending the details for Mansoor to arrange their deployment. Energized by the news, Mansoor quickly summoned the deadmen to their new positions. Calls continued to come in, with job arrangements for another 1100 people falling into place.
Observing the effectiveness of his new strategy, Mansoor couldn't help but laugh at the efficiency of using deadmen to find jobs for their peers. With a sense of accomplishment but also a hint of boredom, he decided to step out for a walk, taking in the scenery and the bustling activity of the city.
As he walked, Mansoor's mind wandered to the broader issues facing Pakistan—the inadequate traffic system, the anticipated BRT Peshawar project, and the political turmoil that had led to economic instability and the imprisonment of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. He pondered the possibility of using his growing influence to prevent such events from unfolding.
Returning home after dinner, Mansoor arranged jobs for another 1000 deadmen, looking at the remaining 95,000 with anticipation. The day was coming to a close, and as he lay in bed, he envisioned a future where all his deadmen were employed, contributing to the prosperity of the nation. With these thoughts, he drifted into sleep, marking the end of another day of progress and potential.
