Shinjuku Concentration Camp.
There was no one here anymore. After the Shinjuku massacre, the area was completely cleared. No matter the Britannians or the people from District 11, they were unwilling to get close to this place, as if it was a cursed place. Right now, the entire Shinjuku area was just a ruin, and it looked like a cemetery for the dead.
"...Mr. Fang Zheng, I have something I want to ask you."
Looking at the ruins in front of her, Yufei closed her eyes.
"…Can humans achieve peace through mutual understanding?"
"Mutual understanding?"
"Well, I once heard someone say that she has always been committed to mutual understanding among human beings, and believes that as long as we understand each other..."
“…It will lead to absolute slaughter.”
"Why?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, You Fei opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Fang Zheng.
“The reason why humans can maintain peace is because they cannot understand each other. Once they understand each other, all that will remain is war.”
"Why... do you say that?"
“Because everyone’s experience is different.”
Fang Zheng sighed and looked at the ruins in front of him.
"What you think is meaningful may be worthless in my eyes. What I think is necessary may be eliminated in your eyes. If we don't understand each other, we will still act with the hope that 'maybe one day he will understand my thoughts'. But once we understand each other and confirm that there is no communication point between us, then what is left... is only war and killing between us."
Having said this, Fang Zheng snorted.
"In fact, the person who said this just proved that it was just a fantasy."
"…Why? Why do you think so?"
“Suppose there is a fruit tree here.”
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
"There are two families under the fruit tree, one with three people and the other with four people. Each of them needs one fruit per month to survive. The fruit tree can provide ten fruits per month, and they need a total of seven fruits per month to meet their living needs."
"……?"
Although she didn't know what Fang Zheng wanted to say, You Fei still looked at him curiously, and then listened quietly to him continue talking.
"Then time went by, and then the two children in the family of four and the one child in the family of three got married. So the family of four became six, and the family of three became four. So they needed ten fruits every month, and the fruit tree had just enough."
Having said that, Fang Zheng stretched out his finger again.
"Then, both families had children. The family of six had four children, and the family of three had two children. So they became fifteen people, and they needed fifteen fruits every month to survive. However, the fruit tree only produced ten fruits every month, and there would always be people who would go hungry. Even if they separated the fruits, they could only barely survive. Then, as time passed, the elders of the family of ten and the family of five passed away. However, the children of those two families got married again. By this time, there were not enough fruits. Unless someone starved to death, they had only one way left, which was to rob each other..."
Having said that, Fang Zheng turned around and looked at You Fei.
"Ms. Yuffie, this is war. Both families understand each other very well. If they don't have enough fruits, they, their wives, and their children will starve to death. In order to protect their lives, they must rob... Now you tell me that they do understand each other, but does it make sense? Will peace... come because of this? In fact, wasn't Britannia's invasion of Japan also for resources? Does it mean that after you understand each other, Britannia will not invade Japan?"
“…”
Facing Fang Zheng's question, You Fei was speechless for a moment.
"Wolves fight for territory in order to obtain prey to survive, sheep fight for fertile pastures, and the same is true for wars between humans. This is the truth of nature. They all know why they are fighting, why they are fighting, and the consequences of failure. And this..."
Having said this, Fang Zheng sneered contemptuously.
"It's something that a young lady who lives in a greenhouse will never understand, so she will be obsessed with the question of whether or not to understand each other... Mutual understanding cannot solve wars. On the contrary, it is precisely because of mutual understanding that wars occur among humans - because there is no other solution."
“…”
This time, Yufei didn't say anything. She just stared at the ruins in front of her silently.
"It's almost time. I should catch my plane."
Fang Zheng glanced at the time and nodded to Youfei.
"Well, Miss Yuffie, let's get out of here."
"Ah, wait a minute, Mr. Founder!"
Hearing that Fang Zheng wanted to leave, You Fei hurriedly called him, and then she seemed to think of something and her cheeks turned red.
"Well...why don't you let me take you to the airport?"
"Of course, it's a great pleasure."
After that, the two left Shinjuku and took a taxi to the airport. Yu Fei didn't say a word along the way, and Fang Zheng was resting with his eyes closed. It was not until they arrived at the airport and got off the taxi that Yu Fei seemed to have made up her mind. She looked at Fang Zheng curiously and asked.
"So...Mr. Fang Zheng, in your opinion, is there any peaceful solution?"
"There is already a solution."
Hearing Yu Fei's question, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.
"There is an old saying in my country, 'When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace.' It means that people will understand etiquette and integrity only after they have enough food and clothing and their needs are met. The root cause of all wars in the world is nothing more than the contradiction between mankind's growing material and cultural needs and the scarce resources and backward social production... Well, I will take my leave now."
After saying this, Fang Zheng turned around and walked into the security check passage. However, at this moment, You Fei suddenly started shouting.
"Mr. Fang Zheng!"
"What else, Miss Euphy?"
Hearing Youfei's call, Fang Zheng turned around, and then he saw Youfei bowed his head deeply and bowed to him respectfully.
"Thank you for your advice. I think I understand a lot of things now. I will work hard according to my own ideas!"
"Well, I wish you good luck."
Fang Zheng waved to You Fei and walked into the security check passage. You Fei stood there until Fang Zheng's back disappeared, then she turned around and left.
The plane roared into the night sky.
"Backward social productivity? But human needs are limitless..."
Sitting in the empty first-class cabin, looking at the wine in the glass, Fang Zheng chuckled, then he extended his hand.
"Whispering chapter!"
Following Fang Zheng's call, the omniscient angel soon appeared in Fang Zheng's hand again. Then Fang Zheng turned the page and began to write in detail on it.
What he wanted to write was very simple, that was the character card.
If Fang Zheng went to the Chinese Federation like this, he would have to start all over again. But now, Fang Zheng obviously did not have so much time to waste. Fortunately, he still had the "Annunciation" in his hand.
The Annunciation Book can turn everything written in it into reality, and right now, Fang Zheng is using this thing to set up his identity in the Chinese Federation and turn it into reality.
Of course, "The Confessions" also has its limits. If Fang Zheng wants to set up a scenario where he is the supreme ruler of the Chinese Federation and all the women in the Chinese Federation are his lovers, then the power consumed will be extraordinary, because this involves modifying the cause and effect of the entire world. In this case, it is basically equivalent to giving the protagonist a full-level magical outfit at the beginning of an RPG game, which is simply impossible except with a cheat.
Of course, if it was a single-player game, I could have unlimited money, which wouldn't be a big deal. But the problem is that Earth Online is an online game, and if you use cheats, the result will be either a ban or a server crash.
Therefore, Fangzheng can only establish its own identity by skirting the rules.
What is important is rationality.
It's just like setting a character background in a game. If you are playing a fantasy game, then setting a character card for a space warrior is meaningless. You can just write in the character introduction "The protagonist was once an elite warrior of the x-th division in the universe...", and then look at the protagonist in the game screen holding a sword emitting holy light... However, this of course looks awkward no matter how you look at it.
Similarly, you cannot set "the protagonist is a very famous person, everyone knows who he is" in the character background, because if you do this, when you talk to the NPC, they will say "Ah, another strange adventurer..." which is enough to overturn all the rationality in the character card.
In this case, even if you hypnotize yourself, if you still mess up every time you encounter an NPC, you will have no choice but to delete your account and start over.
Therefore, what Fang Zheng had to do was to compile his own character card based on the background and facts. He had enough confidence that this identity would be enough to help him solve all the problems he encountered in the Chinese Federation.
The plane landed slowly. Fang Zheng closed the "Whispering Announcement" and strode out of the airport. Outside, Fang Zheng soon saw several men in black suits standing in front of a luxury car. After seeing Fang Zheng, the leading man took a look at the photo in his hand, then walked over quickly and saluted respectfully.
"Welcome back, Your Highness."
