Chapter 89 The Trolley Problem

 After the test was completed, Xue Wenli took Su Yu around the office building.

During the transfer process, she introduced the organizational structure of the "relevant departments" to Su Yu in detail.

Su Yu is, after all, the first Blue Star human with actual strength within the known range.

Xue Wenli wanted to attract him into the department and make him a formal member of the department.

But during the introduction process, she found that Su Yu was not interested in becoming a formal member, so after thinking about it, she did not invite him.

 The entrance to the storage room on the 8th floor of the office building.

Xue Wenli walked out holding a cylindrical sealed metal container with a diameter of about 20 centimeters and a height of about 30 centimeters.

"This is the psychic energy I'm talking about. You can try to absorb it after you go back. During the absorption process, if your strength increases or something unusual happens, remember to call me in time, do you understand?"

 “Understood.” Su Yu took the psychic container.

“Then can I go back now?”

“Okay, drive carefully on the road.” Xue Wenli replied.

"rest assured."

Su Yu and Xue Wenli said goodbye and left the office building.

 An hour after Su Yu left.

Xue Wenli walked into an office on the east side of the 8th floor.

Her expression is very complicated now, as if she is hesitant about something.

 There is an "Evolution" game helmet on the desk in the office. This is Xue Wenli's helmet.

She didn’t hesitate for too long and put on a helmet to enter the game.

Soon, a level 4 archer named [Katyusha] appeared on the street of Novice Village No. 2.

Xue Wenli was one of the first players to buy a gaming helmet, and she got her wish and got the name "Katyusha".

 But because she is too busy in reality, she is only at level 4 now.

Not long after going online, Xue Wenli received a private message from Snow Leopard.

 Snow Leopard: "Wen Li, how was your contact with Su Yu?"

Xue Wenli: “Today’s contact was very smooth”

 She briefly explained the process of taking Su Yu to test the spell strength today.

But at the end, she became entangled again: "Zhong Feng, there is one thing I must let you know."

"you say."

"You know, in order to prevent the Skrulls from breaking the rules again and causing trouble, we installed a psychic wave fluoroscopy device at the entrance of the new base. The fluoroscopy device also scanned the situation inside Su Yu's body."

"Um."

"The results given by the fluoroscopy machine show that there is no abnormality inside Su Yu's body, and it is no different from ordinary people."

"Then what?"

"Professor Shen and several other biologists proposed to kill and dissect Su Yu. Through dissection, they can figure out how the 'characteristics of the organism' will change after the strength is achieved, and at the same time explore Su Yu's How exactly is the spell released?"

The snow leopard refused without even thinking: "Kill and dissect him? Impossible!"

Xue Wenli: "Don't object in a hurry. According to Professor Shen, if Su Yu can understand the few things I mentioned above at the expense of Sacrifice, it will be more in the interest of our entire human race!"

“Although Su Yu is currently the only living body that has embodied strength, and scientists have always advocated rigor, they will not do such a dehumanizing thing.”

“But we have no time! One year, we only have one year!”

“Professor Shen said that now is the time when we must take risks and fight for our lives. Instead of heading for destruction safely, it is better to fight crazily for the last time!”

When Xue Wenli said this, she couldn’t help but think of a classic “trolley problem”:

　　A madman tied five innocent people to the tram track. An out-of-control tram was heading towards them and was about to run over them in a moment.

 Fortunately, you can pull a lever and make the trolley go to another track.

 The problem however is that the madman also **** a person on another tram track.

 Considering the above situation, should you pull the lever?

 Now they have a similar question, should they sacrifice Su Yu so that more people can benefit? But Snow Leopard didn’t take it seriously, and he quickly replied:

"Wen Li, let me ask you, if you agree to their request to sacrifice Su Yu today, and someone will sacrifice you tomorrow under the banner of 'human interests', do you agree?"

"this"

“Looking at the bigger picture, if the Singers civilization wants to sacrifice the blue star where we live because of something in the future, and says that this is in the interest of the entire galaxy, do we have to agree?”

Xue Wenli replied: "We definitely disagree."

 Snow Leopard: “So, the bottom line still needs to be grasped.”

“Besides, can the words of a few biologists represent the interests of mankind? Do they think that all mankind thinks the same as them?”

“And as the first human being from Blue Star to realize his strength, who can guarantee that Su Yu will not create higher value while alive?”

“Sacrificing oneself is noble, but sacrificing others under the banner of ‘human interests’ is absolutely shameful!”

“So, we must resolutely oppose this matter! We must stand firm.”

Xue Wenli: "I understand. I will pay attention to protecting Su Yu's privacy in the future."

 Snow Leopard: "Also, the ghost issue must be resolved quickly. The accident rate in the country has increased sharply recently. I always have a frightening feeling that something big may happen in the future."

Xue Wenli: "Zhu Guorui expressed his willingness to come forward to solve the problem. And I have contacted Su Yu in the past two days and asked him to solve some incidents that are suspected to be ghosts."

 …

While Xue Wenli and Zhong Feng were chatting privately, Su Yu returned to the rental house.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Yu opened the metal container containing psychic energy.

The milky white spiritual energy, like a thick mist, overflowed from it. Su Yu quickly sat cross-legged to absorb the spiritual energy.

 Five minutes later.

“Ding! Through the absorption of psychic energy, you gain 866 experience points.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

After absorbing it, Su Yu let out a sigh of relief, and the central core that stores magic power in his brain became more and more solid.

 Pure psychic energy cannot be absorbed too much at one time. Absorbing too much will lead to an unstable foundation, making it difficult to break through the bottleneck at a high level.

But this "much" refers to the kind that allows people to upgrade two or three levels at once. The amount he absorbs is very small now, which is totally fine.

Su Yu sent a text message to Xue Wenli on his mobile phone, briefly describing his general feelings after absorbing psychic energy.

 After doing all this, he put on his helmet and entered the game.

After going online, Su Yu's figure appeared at the entrance of the Plantagenet Palace.

 The time now is 12 noon, and there is still an hour and a half left before the time he and the players agreed to release the task.

If there was only an hour and a half, Su Yu didn't plan to go to Tina to do the task. He planned to go to the wild to practice leveling to pass the time.

 While riding Tima on the avenue of Plantagenet City, sporadic players appeared around.

However, the players did not say hello to each other, and each was busy with his or her own business.

There are also many players leveling up in the level 11-12 wild monster area outside the city.

However, the overall number of people is still quite sparse.

Su Yu came to the wild monster area of ​​level 20 [Demon Spring Lynx].

 Using the [Insight] spell to look at the lynxes, he could see more detailed information about the lynxes.

  【Magic Spring Lynx lv20】

  HP: 1650

 Attack power: 52

 Skills: [Pounce], [Ferocious Bite], [Leopard's Swiftness (Passive)]

  Introduction: The Magic Spring Lynx is a terrifying animal. They have big, sharp teeth and elastic, juicy magic spring cat claws.

Su Yu put Dima's horse card back into his backpack, and relying on his high movement speed, he pulled the lynxes in the valley to start leveling.
