Chen An has seen many civilizations that are cruel enough to their own people.
However, it is rare to see a self-destructive existence like Tianwu Xinggong.
Chen An followed the development of the situation throughout, and the information he got from Fu Yao was shocking.
Elites from all walks of life are being assassinated, even scientists are no exception.
"Is it really appropriate to wantonly kill the elites of civilization for the sake of power?"
[Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Sky Witch Clan defeated the Dark Witch Clan. Survival of the fittest. Only the strong survive.]
Chen An didn't quite agree, because many people didn't die in competition, but were killed maliciously.
For example, some scientists whose records were kept by Chen An could make great contributions to Xinggong in the future, but now they have died an untimely death. How innocent they are.
"It's a pity that the train cannot be exposed. My manpower cannot be deployed to rescue them."
Chen An felt distressed and simply ignored it.
Later, Mu Lin came to visit and brought gifts.
And the gift was... two stunning beauties with their faces covered, from the Crystal Horn Tribe.
"Brother Mu, that's not the case!"
Mu Lin smiled and said, "I know Brother Xia is a man of temperament and he cares about his reputation. So I asked them to be careful and not be seen by outsiders."
Chen An had nothing to say and asked Hongyue and the others to take the woman away.
He definitely wouldn't contact them. These two women were most likely Mu Lin's spies.
"Brother Mu, is there anything wrong?"
"Nothing serious, just bored."
Chen An asked with a smile: "With all the killing going on outside, how can you be bored?"
"No matter how fierce their fight is, it's ultimately a dispute between Zhou Yao and Yu Hong. What does it have to do with us? Oh no, it has something to do with Brother Xia. If Zhou Yao loses, you'll most likely lose your position as minister."
Chen Ande said: "The minister's status is secondary, life should be the most important thing. I have a question, is it appropriate to allow them to massacre the elites like this?"
Mu Lin asked back: "Who can stop it?"
That's true. Official forces from top to bottom have basically all taken sides. No one can stop the massacre, and some are even secretly participating in it.
Mu Lin added, "It's not that bad, actually. You killed my people, so naturally I have to protect them. So, essentially, it's still two camps attacking and defending, and it all depends on who can hold on. Brother Xia is young, so you might not be familiar with many things. If you don't understand, I can help."
With Fu Yao's assistance, Chen An understands everything he should understand, and also understands things he shouldn't understand.
But since Mu Lin said this, Chen An must give him face.
"What if the loss of elites is too great and we can't make up for it later?"
Mu Lin said meaningfully, "Xinggong lacks resources, energy crystals, territory, and technology, but it's not short of people. Despite the fertility issues, the population is actually increasing. Kill a group of elites today, and tomorrow a group of elites more loyal to Xinggong rule will appear. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Mu Lin: "There are too many ordinary people, and with the Ministry of Reproduction pushing them forward, they're having children like crazy. A couple who has one child can receive a subsidy of 100,000 credits, and 80% of the child support and education expenses are waived. If it were you, would you have more children?"
Chen An nodded: "The more you give birth to, the greater the chance of success. So, there is never a shortage of people, and we are not afraid of many deaths."
"That's right. Countless geniuses are born from the common people every day. They are the backbone of the Star Palace. As for the current Star Envoys or Star Lords, they belong to the old-school powerful organizations. Whether Zhou Yao or Yu Hong comes to power, or you, Xia Zuo, come to power, they all hope to eliminate them and replace them with new elites who respect and appreciate you, right?"
He added: "This process inevitably results in some false positives, but this is reasonable. It's like if your device is infected, the antivirus software might mistakenly kill normal software. Don't worry, wait until the device is safe and then download the new software."
This is the mentality of those in power! Chen An understood it.
After chatting for a while, Mu Lin became very interested in Chen An's tea.
"No, the more I drink, the clearer my mind becomes."
Chen An asked Hongyue to prepare a few pounds for Mu Lin.
"The new variety I cultivated is currently not ready for mass production due to its limited growing conditions. By the way, I'd like to ask when the old Palace Master's funeral will be held?"
He observed that Mu Lin's expression was obviously fluctuating.
"There's no rush for the funeral. It will be arranged after the new Palace Master is chosen. I gave you the Star Tower key yesterday. Didn't you verify it?"
This is probably the purpose of Mu Lin coming here.
Chen An replied: "Need a verification code?"
"Of course you need to. If you don't bind your identity, it might be stolen. This is no joke."
"Thanks for the reminder. I'll go there when I have time today."
At this moment, Fuyao gave Chen An a piece of news that made his blood pressure rise.
Seeing that his face was getting uglier and uglier, Mu Lin asked what happened.
Chen An gritted his teeth and said, "Some things are too extreme. Do you know that there is an old scientist on Frost Star?"
"I know. What happened to him?"
"I just received news that he was assassinated and died in his laboratory. However, he never took sides with any faction."
This old scientist is on Chen An’s list and is going to be taken away later.
Mu Lin sighed upon hearing this, "He's high-ranking and has many votes, so both sides want him. If he doesn't take sides at this point, he won't be protected by either side. To prevent his votes from going to the other side, killing him is the safest course of action. It's really a bit excessive. This scientist is a priceless treasure, how can he be killed arbitrarily!"
While they were discussing, the news was leaked online, causing an uproar.
"It's absolutely insane. They can even assassinate the top scientists?"
