Fortunately, Shen Yi did not force them to speak.
The method of eliciting wrong answers and then giving rebuttals is good, but the next period is just a time to impart experience rather than emphasize key points. Those present are all humans who can be called elites, and there is no need for overly complicated teaching.
“From the beginning of industrialization, civilization will enter a period of true divergence amidst the great changes in productivity, shaping its own characteristics.”
Shen Yi spoke slowly, and everyone listened very carefully.
"Selfishness, chaos, greed, nobility, unity. Not only will different human civilizations begin to have differences in value and potential, but even different national civilizations within the same human civilization will also be like this. For example, some civilizations are not afraid of death due to religious issues, and do not have the courage to resist the end of the world. If you have the ability to guide and save such civilizations, it would naturally be better, but the association will not spend too many resources on it."
As Shen Yi spoke, the association's concepts and rules gradually formed a general but vague impression in everyone's mind.
The special envoy is a savior, but he is only a human savior.
They bring hope, but they don't ask to save everyone.
They have a mission of guidance, but this mission is placed under the protection of human principles and is related to "performance" rather than "bottom line".
Of course, some things are not clear enough just by relying on Shen Yi's narration.
But it's enough to leave an impression.
When you really start saving the world alone as a special agent, the challenges you face will be completely different from what you are imagining now, because it is a complex job full of darkness, struggle, morality, and emotions.
But in the end, some people still understood something.
"President." Quintina raised her hand again, her fiery red hair moving subconsciously behind her, indicating her emotional instability. "In a world like this, is there no longer a minimum requirement for the number of people to be saved?"
Faced with this question, Shen Yi was silent for a while.
Then, spit out a number.
"Two million."
"Two million?" Quintina repeated.
"This is the minimum number of people who can inherit the civilization and the fire, and it is also the only 'bottom line requirement'." Shen Yi replied calmly, "If you fail to even meet this requirement, you will be stripped of your status as a special envoy. Of course, if you only meet this requirement, you will also face the problem of poor performance. It will be an ugly performance during the evaluation, which will seriously affect the promotion and growth of the special envoy. In serious cases, you will still be stripped of your status as a special envoy."
Although Shen Yi was just explaining the rules and speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.
However, it still caused a gasp.
Some people even trembled physically.
What makes them behave in this way is not the consequence of "deprivation of the status of special envoy".
But the number is "two million".
"Just two million?" Ji Fen murmured in a low voice.
Compared with six billion, the number of two million is as small as a drop in the ocean.
If such a civilization ends up with only two million people left, then what difference would that make from the real doomsday?
This also means.
Even if a civilization is reduced to only two million people, this is still tolerable in the association.
The association will not provide any support, nor will it guarantee the '70 percent' promise like the ancient civilizations did.
so.
This sad ending with only two million people left will be entirely borne by the Special Envoy.
Some people feel an unspeakable fear just thinking that a civilization might face such an end because of its own reasons, and this is why they tremble.
"Saving the world is not an easy job." Shen Yi took in everyone's reactions, and his tone became profound. "Even if you are just a low-level trainee commissioner, you are responsible for the future of all human beings in the world. You are part of the association, but because of the consequences of your failure and incompetence, the association will not bear all the consequences for you. Those who are not aware enough to bear all of this are not qualified to become world-saving commissioners."
It was the voice from Shen Yi's heart.
It is also the truth he learned from his own failure.
That is - put away your arrogance.
When most people first realize that they have the mission of saving the world, they will feel an indescribable arrogance.
The future of the entire world and the future of countless human beings will be in your own hands.
Savior, what a noble identity.
But this kind of arrogance is not something that just anyone can bear - incompetent people can only bear the pain and disaster brought about by their own incompetence.
Only with such awareness.
Only special envoys can go further and become more powerful on the road to saving the world.
Some people truly understood what Shen Yi meant, some people began to adjust their mindset, some people were still full of confidence, and some people began to feel fear because they had no confidence.
Shen Yi does not expect everyone here to become an excellent special envoy.
Some of them will inevitably be eliminated, and some may even face collapse in the process of saving the world.
However, Shen Yi has already passed on his thoughts, experiences, and insights to them bit by bit.
The outstanding ones will shoulder the responsibilities of the association.
The loser will also bear the consequences of failure.
Give them some time to recover from this unnecessarily increasing pressure.
Shen Yi said again: "So, who wants to be the trainee special envoy of this world? It will still be a group of two."
This time, not everyone is moving forward positively.
It’s clear that some people are struggling and are pulling back.
But there are also people who take a step forward and are determined to face the challenge.
Quintina's performance was the most eye-catching.
Not only was there no hesitation, but there was no overly strong reaction either. He just accepted it calmly.
This is only natural.
After all, she had already experienced the despair of being unable to save and having to lead the entire human civilization into the abyss of extinction.
Even the hopeless responsibility has been borne.
What is there to be afraid of when it comes to this responsibility of having hope?
"Quintina, and..." Shen Yi's eyes were fixed on a person who also had a brilliant reaction, "Su Yao, I now appoint you as trainee special envoys. The human affairs of this world are now handed over to you."
Su Yao also possesses strong psychological endurance.
If we say that in Shen Yi's heart, these "students" have different grades.
So, Quintina and Su Yao are both "top students".
He is a seeded candidate for the special envoy.
