Chapter 619: Comrades, are you going to embezzle something again?
Lu Yuan returned to Green City and found that it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
The sky was still as blue as ever, but the world didn't seem to be the same anymore - Lu Yuan truly experienced the saying "what we perceive is not the world itself, but the model of the world in our brain". As the past models were severely overturned, he always felt as if he was in another world.
A city full of birdsong and flowers, vibrant streets, and a steaming big rice bucket canteen, Green City is indeed a spiritual harbor. Lu Yuan first bought a delicious breakfast of "Golden Spicy Chicken and Roasted Rice Burger" and enjoyed it deliciously. Only then did he feel that he had returned to the world.
“Life’s ups and downs are really inexplicable.”
Then he found the old cat and the conch, reported that he was safe, and told them what happened last night.
Sure enough, after hearing that four [Demons] were present, and that the Level 5 ruins might be fake, the old cat's pupils dilated, and the hair on his body exploded in shock, and the cat's head almost fell to the ground!
"You mean, the remains of the heroes of the Sixth Epoch are sealed inside... Once these remains are destroyed, the epochal disaster may come early?"
"Yes... Of course it is just advanced. Maybe it was advanced from ten thousand years to one thousand years, or it could be advanced to tomorrow. Anything is possible."
“Is this statement accurate?”
Lu Yuan sighed and said, "Whether it's the aliens in the Immortal Palace or these four [Demons], they all think so... The old alien shouldn't be able to deceive us."
Miss Conch's face looked very unhappy and her fists were clenched tightly. She had always been gentle and rarely showed such emotions.
Back then, the green civilization was destroyed by the devil, but now four of them suddenly appeared, and they might even be potential friendly forces. This kind of contradiction in thinking is not something that ordinary people can resolve.
"Oh my god, I just remembered that the civilization I belong to was also destroyed by the devil. How come they suddenly became our allies?" The old cat also began to doubt his own cat life.
Is there another hidden story?
Lu Yuan sighed: "I think your mother civilization was probably not destroyed by the [Demon]..."
"You, old cat, have at least completed the siliconization of your brain, which means you have at least started with level 4 technology... and the combat power of a [Demon] is unlikely to destroy level 4 technology, not to mention that their destruction of civilization is actually meaningless."
"Unless a very special civilization like the Green Civilization can come up with some kind of ascension ceremony, the [Devil] will reveal its ferocious fangs."
"Otherwise, they will always be the leaders of civilization. Maybe the fact that you have become a Level 4 civilization is also due to the contribution of the [Devil]?"
"Meow!" The old cat immediately jumped up and tried to scratch Lu Yuan's face. "You've grown so powerful now that you dare to slander my old cat civilization."
Lu Yuan dodged its attack nimbly.
The two sides started to fight passionately.
But Lao Mao actually knew that what Lu Yuan said... was correct.
The destruction of one's own civilization is more likely to be due to an epochal disaster... Perhaps that [Demon·Shadow of the Sun] should also bear part of the blame, but it should not be the main responsibility.
Lu Yuan added: "Of course, the Great Elder must bear the blame for the destruction of the Green Civilization."
"But with the potential of the Green People, if there is no leadership from the Great Elder, perhaps they can only grow to the third level of civilization? Well, even if they grow to the fourth level of civilization, it will still be difficult to avoid the epoch disaster, so the ending is no different..."
"How can you comfort people like this?!" Conch couldn't help but yell, and beat Lu Yuan together with the old cat.
The old cat asked again: "Among these four [Demons], is there the great elder of Green City?"
Lu Yuan frowned: "It's hard for me to tell. Theoretically, the great elder of Green City doesn't have many memories left, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen the Green People, a race with low value... I'm not talking about you, Miss Conch is an exception."
Conch felt both angry and amused, and really wanted to beat him up.
However, from the current perspective, the racial values of the Greens are similar to those of humans, their culture of struggle is insufficient, and their national character cannot withstand internal competition.
This kind of civilization is too ordinary.
For an experienced Demon, even if he finds a primitive civilization with high racial value and high involution, it is better than a technological civilization with average upper limit and lazy personality.
"So Solomon, who has a lot of memories, can be ruled out for the time being." Lu Yuan scratched his scalp, "Now I understand why the Atagan civilization has three races. It turns out that it is to promote involution... It seems that Solomon really has some tricks up his sleeve."
The old cat actually agreed: "Indeed, if all three races are very competitive, they will really be able to rise to the top without any hesitation."
It actually created a sense of crisis!
If humans did not have more opportunities and were not relatively wealthy, they might not have been able to surpass the Atagan civilization! Fortunately, there is a "Blue Peng civilization" within the human race, which is also quite competitive, and there are some internal competition mechanisms.
Lu Yuan added: "As for whether the wild boar [Demon] and the stone [Demon] are the great elders, I can't tell. The black shadow [Demon] is a lone ranger, so it shouldn't be that bad either."
Hai Luo rubbed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."
"This matter should be treated separately. What the other [Demons] did is not within my consideration..."
"Even my mother's target of revenge was only that great elder. If you think you can cooperate with them, I won't object."
Lu Yuan said: "It's not that I want to whitewash myself, but it's a reality distorted by high pressure. Of course, if you meet the great elder, he will still help you deal with it."
When everyone discussed this point, they all expressed their feelings.
As your horizons broaden, your perspective on problems will also change.
"The four great natural disasters were specially created to fight against the disasters of the era." People have actually known this information for a long time.
But at that time, I didn't understand at all, what was the meaning of these natural disasters other than destroying civilization? Creating these things is really a disaster that will last for thousands of years.
However, now I really have a feeling that I can understand it.
For lower civilizations, natural disaster-level phenomena are real disasters.
But for advanced civilizations, it has become an excellent resource and... a fairly reliable companion.
This kind of change can only be experienced when your strength has improved.
The conch gazed into the distance and said, "I'm just worried about that sealed tower. If I go in and can't get out, do I really have to put my life in the hands of the demon outside?"
"What can we do for you?"
Lu Yuan was silent for a while, then shook his head helplessly: "This matter must be done. I have the Immortal Palace and the 'Qian Kun World' as my backup. No matter what happens, there is still some way."
"'Qian Kun World' is a real world. Its main body is actually in the Sea of Chaos, but a part of it is also in my body. This is inseparable."
"But if anything goes wrong, it's all up to you guys."
Lu Yuan pretended to sob twice: "Even if I die, Green City will still develop, and the industrialization of the field can still be developed... No matter who is missing in the world, the sun will still rise in the east and set in the west, except you, Hai Luo, who will be a widow."
"Pah, pah, pah!" The conch immediately hit him with its fist.
The old cat uttered a "vomit" sound: "This guy is just pretending."
"Hmm...wait, that sealed location must be where the treasure is. Why do I feel like he's getting greedy again?"
The more the old cat thought about it, the more amazed he became. He wished he could go with Lu Yuan. After all, whoever sees it gets a share. He also wanted to get some resources for humans!
Unfortunately, it is now too busy to do anything.
No one would care if Lu Yuan, who doesn't care about other people, disappeared for a while. But once the old cat disappears, Green City will be in chaos.
Lu Yuan didn't know what Mr. Mao was thinking, so he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem... It's actually very hard for me to die. If I'm really trapped in there, you guys can develop into a level 5 civilization and take down this damn place. Anyway, I can wait!"
"That's a good idea. Why donate some of your property to help us become a level five civilization?" Old Cat said immediately.
Lu Yuan immediately covered his wallet and shouted, "Oh my god! Soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield are asked by their leaders to donate their personal property! Can this world ever be better? Where are the reporters? Where are the Focus Interviews?"
Mr. Cat hugged his thigh tightly and refused to let go: "After you get greedy, you have to hand over 50% of the profits and donate it to humans! We are very poor recently!"
"At most... 20%! No, 10%..."
"Deal!" Master Mao said loudly immediately, not wanting Lu Yuan to go back on his word.
The conch girl couldn't help but be amused by the two funny guys.
Lu Yuan also relaxed. His status in Green City was too high, and the only people he could joke with without restraint were the few people around him.
Conch said, "Since you have to leave, you have to make arrangements here so that you can have a backup plan if something goes wrong."
Lu Yuan actually doesn’t have much work to do. His main task is to accompany the next generation of children as they grow up.
However, Green City is currently controlling its population. Unless the acquisition of extraordinary resources increases significantly again, the total population should not exceed seven million, otherwise the government will face a serious fiscal deficit problem.
Therefore, when there are not too many children each year, the conch mother can accompany them all by herself.
"Well... I should spend more time with the kids. There's nothing else to do anyway."
"Oh, right, we can sell the history of the Mandala Empire!" Lu Yuan thought of another thing, "The Mandala Empire is a second-generation civilization with a Painted Skin Emperor. Their history is actually quite valuable."
"Pick some artifacts from the Mandala Empire, sell them for some value, and then buy some items back."
The old cat was stunned at first, then nodded: "You mean... to behave exactly like a normal civilization to reduce other people's suspicion?"
"Understood. We will select some things to exchange for value, and then buy some things back."
"How about buying radioactive elements? It would be a good thing if we could get more atomic bombs."
A hydrogen bomb needs to be ignited by an atomic bomb.
Radioactive elements are truly hard currency in the Pangaea continent.
Of course, Lu Yuan didn’t plan to consult on what humans purchased.
He thought for a moment, and then said, "Even if I am really trapped inside, don't rush to leave this ruins. Just stay here for a while and communicate normally with other civilizations."
"Let's leave after a few years."
"Not only do we have to be wary of the ruins, we also have to be careful of the two [Demons] left outside... Fortunately, the civilization they lead is still alive, so the chances of them coming to take over our bodies are very low."
The conch is guarded by the little mirage dragon, so it's not a big problem; and the old cat has no way to take over its body.
[Demon] Replacing a civilization has a huge sunk cost. After all, not every civilization is a dictatorship. How much effort does it take to promote the change of the system? Moreover, the more powerful the civilization, the more information it knows, and the more precautions it will take against [Demon]. Once the flaws are exposed, it will be a big trouble.
Therefore Lu Yuan was not that worried.
"Oh, by the way, some of the information about the industrialization of the field has been exposed... Don't trade this information, or they will figure out that I, the Greedy Demon, am a human."
"I understand." The old cat nodded.
"And... take care of my wife, a bunch of kids, the Big Bad Wolf, and my bugs."
"Awooo!" When the old wolf heard Lu Yuan calling him, he immediately wagged his tail.
Old Cat: I asked you to donate your inheritance quickly, but you refused.
However, these words seemed like a last will and testament, which made Conch and Old Cat feel sad.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan’s ability to save his life is first-rate. He thinks he is a good fighter and wants to go on an adventure. Maybe he can get a lot of money?
However, the waters of Pangu Continent are indeed very deep, and even the strongest heroes eventually died. He couldn't help but get a little nervous again, and began to nag, saying more about his afterlife: "I'll use the Fruit of Life to create another body, one that looks exactly the same, but without a soul... Conch, you control the body from time to time, show up, and say that I'm in seclusion thinking about something."
"Yeah." There is a divine skill called [Imitator]. She imitated Lu Yuan's thinking and acted for a short period of time, which was not a big problem.
Lu Yuan leaned over to her ear and whispered something, and was beaten again.
Lu Yuan thought of something else: "Also, delete all the information related to the Greedy Demon God."
"From today on, I must separate myself from human civilization..."
"Don't worry, it has been implemented many years ago." The old cat shook his head.
This is also a helpless thing.
There are many kinds of divine skills in Pangu Continent, and there are several [Demons] in the same ruins. They may be able to remotely spy on information through certain methods.
Only by completely stripping and deleting can absolute safety be guaranteed.
There is no mention of the term "Greedy Demon" on the Internet today.
Lu Yuan pondered quietly and thought of one thing again: the mirror [demon] and the blood [ghost] were still sealed in the spaceship of the Dalai Empire.
If he was really trapped for a long time, it would be a big problem if no one maintained the [Blood Demon] seal.
"Do you want to take these two things out?"
"With the level of human technology, it shouldn't be a problem to maintain the seal of the [Blood Vampire]. As for the mirror [Demon], it's hard to say what it is made of... Well, it's better to go in and take a look."
"But the time scale in the tiankeng is too slow. One day inside is more than three months outside. It's really troublesome."
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan was not so anxious anymore.
He first accompanied the girl and strolled around Green City for a whole day to calm her down.
The two are an old couple, but they have not been separated for long periods of time. They have faced many disasters together. Now they suddenly have to be separated for an unknown period of time, and they always feel a little subtle anxiety.
In such a big green city, there are actually many places to visit, such as the Dreamland Amusement Park, which is a really good place.
In the supernatural age, things like roller coasters and Ferris wheels have long been eliminated.
There are many games in the dream park, such as space wars and epochal wars imagined by humans. "It's my first time to experience this kind of game...Human Emperor VS Zerg Queen!" Lu Yuan indulged in the dream war.
The "Queen of Zerg" bit her lips lightly, always feeling that Old Lu was a little nervous today.
In addition to dream games, there are also holographic games in the real world, which involve killing monsters and leveling up. They have been popular for hundreds of years and are still very popular among men, women, young and old.
There are also dream games of virtual fighting, which detect one's own body parameters and create a virtual character identical to oneself to fight.
However, Lu Yuan still likes traditional electronic games, clicking the keyboard and mouse in front of the computer screen - maybe because he is old, he misses his college days, sitting in the Internet cafe for five consecutive days and losing every night.
It’s a pity that there are no players in the game "Glory of the King" anymore, and they can only be matched with AI teammates.
"You are such a wimp today. Not only can you not carry me, but you ask me to carry you instead!" Hai Luo was disgusted. This guy was playing "Glory of the King" so badly that he was slaughtered by the computer in the fountain.
"I haven't played for a long time. The AI these days is too powerful. Is there a simple mode?" Lu Yuan complained.
In fact, it was because he was worried and occasionally a little absent-minded.
Hai Luo stretched out her white and tender hands and said unhappily, "I don't want to play anymore. Give me some money!"
"ah?"
"I'll get you some more Spiritual Words Runes, so you don't have to die in some corner. It really makes me a widow."
That's true. Old Lu directly allocated 500 units of civilization points to her.
In fact, her productivity is not high. Even if she does not eat or drink, it will take more than 20 to 30 years for her to consume 500 civilization points. However, Lu Yuan does not care about such a small amount of money.
…
Just like that, we had a relaxing and enjoyable vacation, which lasted for three days in total.
In fact, I'm used to being busy, and I always feel an inexplicable sense of guilt when I play at home all the time.
Even his wife goes out early and comes back late, working hard on making spiritual runes, leaving Lu Yuan alone to read novels, play games, and walk the wolf. It's a bit dull, but it's real.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh at himself, "It's really the fate of a mule or a horse. I feel a little itchy after not working for a few days."
"Then let's meet the Mirror Demon in advance!"
After informing the conch, he turned back into the state of the Greedy Demon God and slipped into the spaceship of the Dalai Empire with a "whoosh".
