Wang Xiaohai and Lin Cun rented two rooms in the inn and lived there. The rent was paid by Wang Xiaohai. Lin Cun had just started working and had no money, and he was too embarrassed to rob.
"I'll pay you back after we get out." Lin Cun said standing on the balcony with a cup of tea in his hand.
The two rooms shared a balcony, which was made of wood. There were several pots of golden maple and wisteria on it, swaying in the wind, giving people the feeling that the owner of the hotel didn't seem to mind at all that the potted plants might fall and hit passers-by.
"What are you talking about? Will I still be short of these few taels of silver after I leave here?" Wang Xiaohai said, "Unless you return me a few spaceships or some magical fruits."
Lin Cun's hand trembled and a few drops of tea spilled.
"Even if we sell this country, we still can't afford to buy a single part for a spacecraft."
"The value of things changes depending on the situation," Wang Xiaohai said. "Nowadays, if you have a machine gun, you can sell it for the price of a spaceship and get an IOU. But if you're thirsty in the desert, you'll buy a bottle of water even if it's worth gold."
Looking down from the balcony above, the streets lit by lanterns and torches gradually became less populated.
A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats sounded, and many men on horseback appeared on the street. Each man held a burning torch in his hand, and the flames illuminated half of their faces red.
"Bucket!"
The man on the horse in front stretched out his hand, and several people behind him untied the plastic oil barrels tied to the horses' backs and handed them to the man.
"I know this man. His name is Nuo Ling," Lincun said. "He's a very famous Plane God from Xuanyuan Continent. He can withstand a blow from a God King and remain undefeated. His deeds are recorded in the billion-year event on the cosmic network."
Nuoling poured oil in front of all the shops and threw torches over: "Everyone, hurry up and burn the whole street. We have to go to the next place!"
Soon, a large area of the commercial street was on fire, and the team of horsemen setting the fire quickly left and headed to the next place.
The sound of wood crackling was heard and black smoke rose. Even in the dark night, the distorted outlines of the air could be seen.
"What the hell are these guys doing?" Lin Cun cursed, packed up, jumped downstairs, and landed steadily on the ground.
"They're doing something big that could change the country, like burning down the entire capital." Wang Xiaohai jumped to Lin Cun's side. "I bet it won't just be this street. All the streets and mansions in the capital will be on fire."
"Can you put out the fire in the hotel?" asked Lincun.
"No, I'm not a fire sprinkler." Wang Xiaohai was helpless. He only had two hands and two feet. Even if he went to the well to fetch water, he would only have a few more buckets. He didn't have any incredible advantages. Thousands of people on the street were trying to put out the fire, but they couldn't put it out, not to mention that he was the only one!
"That's a pity. I was hoping for a night's rest. I'm so sleepy! This is the first time I've felt sleepiness. My mother is a god, and my father is an angel. I was born a Golden Warrior who doesn't need sleep. My mother also had dozens of husbands. Her time was up, so she needed to give birth to a child to inherit the throne, regardless of gender. In the end, I was born. Luckily, I became a top-level angel at the fastest speed, in less than a million years. Our star field is a family inheritance. Before my mother died, she synthesized the 100 million life crystals she had collected into Life Crystals and gave them to me to take. Some of these Life Crystals needed to be handed over to the Plane God, but when he saw that I had taken them, he didn't say anything. He just increased the tax revenue of the Shadow Star Field I manage by 10% in the following period."
Lincun said as he walked to the end of the street, "In fact, every Plane God is a master of robbery. To put it nicely, they are collecting taxes from us True Gods. To put it bluntly, they rob a portion and leave some to grow. They start by shearing the wool of the True Gods and all the planets in the star field, leaving the sheep and grass, and then shear it back when it grows. This cycle repeats over and over again. This is the Plane Gods' open robbery method. There is no way around it. The truth of this universe is so cruel. The weak will always serve the strong and are just tools. Gods with no value in serving and being used will be directly abandoned or eliminated."
"You treat angels and mortals in the same way," Wang Xiaohai said. "The theme of this universe is survival. The laws and moral systems established by all life are centered around the premise of facilitating its own survival."
"Emotions are also mutual deception." Although Lincun's right eye is no longer a computer, he can't see any emotion. "Both parties are using this guise to get the spiritual or material satisfaction they need from the other party, but when one party feels that what they give exceeds the return given by the other party, the relationship breaks down! The world is balanced. Have you ever seen someone who pursues the other party for decades without giving up? Unless he is mentally ill, he finds a sense of satisfaction in pursuing others. Once such a person gets married, he will be at a loss and don't know what to do, because his life goals have been achieved and he needs to make hypothetical satisfaction and The interests support him to live. So there are always people who think that the other party has changed his mind, or has no love. That is because his heart is twisted and he only wants to pursue you. After getting you, he needs you to pay back the time or mental and material cost he spent when pursuing you. After getting married, do you still want him to continue to do a loss-making business and invest unlimitedly without asking for returns? Unless that person continues to be stupid. So the feelings in the world are just as I said before, they are all deceiving each other. When you feel that the input and return are unbalanced, you can't live together. The return includes material return and spiritual return. For example, saying I love you every day is also a spiritual return. The unspoken rules can be converted into equivalent benefits recognized by the other party. You said it. After a year, you feel tired and no longer say "I love you" or help comb your hair or give a kiss. The other party will think that the return is unequal, and the cracks will begin to appear, because the other party will think that their efforts are still the same, but your return is less, and the value is unequal! Therefore, those considerate, gentle, wealthy, kind and single-minded male protagonists in novels are just fictional products. They seriously violate the universe's law of equal value conservation and can only exist in fantasy. After reading too many beautiful love novels, your IQ will slowly decrease, because it is a kind of deceptive beauty. When you return to the world, you will find that there are no such people. Of course, they are created to deceive readers. How could anyone possibly have gotten out of this situation? Unless you go to a mental hospital. Because smart people calculate gains and losses. Even if you never think about it, you'll secretly do this calculation in your mind. Maybe after five years of unsuccessful pursuit of someone, you'll internally struggle and reconsider whether to continue investing, just like being stuck in a stock market or buying lottery tickets. If you don't continue, the money, time, and energy you invested will be wasted. If you continue, it's likely to be a bottomless pit, with nothing left to lose! That's why I rarely read those fake romance novels. I forget them after reading them, and I won't let them fool me. Because there's no perfection in the universe, and everything you think is perfect is just a deceptive illusion!
"Reality is too horrible. Humans can only live in lies," Wang Xiaohai said. "It's a means of escape and anesthesia. We are weak and powerless. If we were extremely powerful, we could do whatever we wanted, and we wouldn't need lies to maintain the joy of life! Compared to the bloody truth - that Lincun Zhenshen and I teamed up just to use each other! We believe the lie more - that Lincun Zhenshen and I teamed up because we were in the same star system!"
Lin Cun and Wang Xiaohai stopped at the same time, and after a few seconds, continued walking forward.
The two rested in a rockery park and no longer discussed things that were not related to the mission.
