Meng Chao was silent for a long time.
"So, at the end of the day, everything you do is for the money?"
He narrowed his eyes and asked word by word. . .
"Isn't the reason 'money' not enough?"
Shen Yulin said, "From the earth to the other world, from the time when human beings just learned to use flames to bake the tip of a spear, to when hundreds of tons of rockets fly into the sky, human beings have waged thousands of wars, which war has The ultimate goal, not for money?
"However, you are half right, this time, we are really not just for money.
"In addition to money, what we want to take from this war is dignity. It is the dignity that should belong to us, the dignity of all our extraordinary people!"
"The... dignity of all Transcendents?"
Meng Chao looked at Shen Yulin in confusion.
"Don't you notice that one year after the end of the monster war, the atmosphere of Longcheng has become more and more strange, and the eyes of many ordinary people looking at our extraordinary have become more and more subtle?"
Shen Yulin said coldly, "When the vicious monsters are still rampant in Longcheng, threatening the lives of ordinary people, those ordinary people regard us extraordinary as heroes, saviors, and omnipotent patron saints.
"They were wagging their tails in front of us, begging with tears in their eyes to save their lives.
"Give us all kinds of high hats, such as the 'war sword of the Dragon City civilization', the 'hope for human evolution', and the 'superhero', forcing us to rush under the monster's **** mouth and fangs and claws, Fight to your death.
"Forget it, as the leaders of the Dragon City civilization, we have the responsibility and the right to protect our homeland.
"But now, after countless extraordinary people's succession, **** sacrifice, madness, and extremely painful sequelae, the monsters have finally been suppressed and eliminated by us, and they no longer pose a threat to ordinary people. You can go and see those The face of an ordinary person.
"Someone throws out the Affirmative Action Act, arguing that extraordinary people have taken too many advantages in all walks of life by virtue of their extraordinary power, which has resulted in the damage to the rights of ordinary people, which involves unfair competition, and should find ways to compensate ordinary people.
"Some people have suggested that higher taxes should be levied on the superhumans, and that the hard-earned money we made with our heads on the belts of our trousers and monsters should be slapped on strangers we don't even know.
"Some people have suggested that the proportion of ordinary people in high-level management positions in various companies, institutions, and associations should be further expanded, and even proposed that our seats in the survival committee should be allocated according to the proportion of extraordinary people among all citizens—in other words , According to the delusions of these guys, in the survival committee, the seats of the extraordinary should not exceed 10%!
"Some people have also suggested that we should comprehensively monitor the daily practice of extraordinary people, establish a practice ledger, do a good job of clearing the sun and the moon, and disclose it to all citizens—including but not limited to our current state and all the skills we have mastered, in order to Cultivation, how many spar is consumed, and where are these spar purchased, and the cost of purchasing spar, and what is the composition ratio.
"According to the plausible words of these people, spar is a strategic resource shared by all Longcheng citizens. Since the extraordinary needs spar to cultivate more powerfully, of course, they are obliged to actively expose all their cultivation process to everyone's eyelids. Under the child, accepting public review and inquiries, once too much spar is consumed during cultivation, or the source of a certain spar is unknown, this extraordinary person must pay the price of the law.
"Moreover, the hands and feet of the superhuman are weapons of mass destruction. Now that the war has ended, how to firmly limit such weapons of mass destruction in peacetime is something that every supernatural person must seriously think about. question.
"Some people even suggested that the so-called 'establishing a ledger, clearing the sun and the moon' should not only be carried out immediately, but also traced back to the past 20 to 30 years, that is, during the monster war.
"To find out if anyone took advantage of the war to plunder resources, and secretly use the strategic resources that should belong to all citizens without going through the normal application and procurement procedures of the Transcendent Tower!
"Oh, this is really ridiculous.
"As the order in Longcheng is further restored, all walks of life must be more open and transparent, which is something everyone can understand.
"However, cultivation has its particularity. How many spar can be absorbed to improve to a higher realm, who can say clearly?
"And many cultivation methods and combat skills are the greatest wealth and secrets of an extraordinary person, how can they be easily made public?
"As for the use of cultivation resources during the Monster War, it's even more confusing.
"Yes, theoretically, all the spar ore veins discovered by the extraordinary people, and all the monster materials they hunted, all must be submitted to the extraordinary tower for registration, and then the extraordinary tower will exchange points, open auction and unified distribution, without registration. The registered cultivation resources cannot be used without permission.
"The problem is that the battle situation is changing rapidly. Everyone is fighting against monsters in the depths of the wilderness. They are all bruised and exhausted. At this time, they found a top-quality spar or cut off a piece of beast's flesh and blood, can't they swallow it and save it? My own life? Could this kind of behavior be called 'enriching one's own pocket'?
"When the water is clear, there are no fish. The extraordinary is also a human being, and he also has his own desires, interests, and positions. If you have to be picky about such trivial matters, who would want to step on the blade and rush to the forefront of the **** battle?
"By the way, and the latest news I just received, someone wants to throw out the "National Cultivation Act" on the survival committee. All school-age children in the city should be treated equally, and free cultivation resources should be provided at least first. Nine years to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to cultivate and awaken before reaching adulthood.
"I certainly can't say that there is anything theoretically wrong with this bill.
"The question is, in reality, cultivation resources are limited, how can we get so many cultivation resources to supply at least millions of young people in the city to squander it?
"Needless to say, once this bill is successfully passed, it will definitely be wiping oil, cutting meat, and bleeding from our high-level supernatural beings and the nine major corporations!
"And our right to speak will be further compressed to the extreme!
"Did you know that there is even a ulterior motive in Longcheng now circulating a fallacy, saying that 'supernatural power and modern civilization are incompatible things - everything in modern civilization is built on the basis of equality for everyone, The individual differences caused by extraordinary power will only disintegrate the foundation of modern civilization. In the end, our civilization will completely collapse. In this sense, there is not much difference between extraordinary people and monsters, and extraordinary people are monsters. , is a monster in human skin'!
"Ha, it's amazing, if I were the king of monsters, I would applaud and cheer loudly when I heard this ridiculous talk!
"It turns out that for ordinary people, superhumans are monsters in human skins? Such a wonderful conclusion, why during the monster war, when we superhumans were required to fight the monsters to the death, no one dared to come up with it? ?"
Maybe there was an element of performance in the beginning.
But when Shen Yulin said it at the end, he really showed his true feelings and was very angry.
Meng Chao was also horrified.
Unexpectedly, the problems inside Longcheng were more serious than he imagined.
Indeed, in a world of extraordinary power and ever-expanding individual differences.
Where will human civilization go? This is a question that everyone must seriously consider.
"There is nothing new under the sun. In fact, our ancestors have long summed up eight words for our experience. It is nothing more than 'birds do their best to hide their bows, and rabbits die and dogs cook'."
Shen Yulin continued, "In the past, the threat of monsters was like the sword of Damocles, hanging high above everyone's head at all times. At that time, ordinary people needed extraordinary people, so they naturally said good things to us, obeyed what they said, and did not at all. Will care how much resources we consume.
"Now, since the monsters have been completely suppressed, for ordinary people, the superhumans have become useless, and naturally the more they look at us, the less pleasing to the eye.
"It's like the ancient emperors would slaughter their heroes after establishing a new dynasty, maybe human beings are such animals, they can only share weal and woe, not wealth.
"Fortunately, unlike the ancient heroes, we superhumans possess absolute force, and it is impossible for people to 'cross rivers and demolish bridges, tear down and kill donkeys'. Those guys who look at us the more they are not pleasing to the eye can only incite public opinion, moral kidnapping, Dormant in a dark corner, just throwing cold arrows at us."
"..."
Meng Chao took a deep breath and said, "I have heard a little of these bizarre rumors, but I believe that the vast majority of ordinary citizens still trust and support the extraordinary. It's not as serious as you said, right?"
"Of course, the vast majority of ordinary citizens are still reasonable and grateful, especially those small and medium investors who are willing to spend real money in the financial market to support us. Of course, we must swear to defend their interests. ."
Shen Yulin said, "The problem is, there are a lot of ambitious people right now, in order to fight for power and profit, they don't hesitate to use ordinary people to shoot at our nine major companies - about this, you, as a son of the Lu family, should have more understanding than me. Bar?"
"this……"
Meng Chao was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't your Lu family's big traitor 'Lu Siya' a typical example?"
Shen Yulin snorted coldly and said, "Obviously he was born in nine major corporations, but he betrayed the 'Lu Family' and the 'Qingtian Group', and went to Chaoxing Group to be the CEO, with the idea of 'inheriting Meng Chao's legacy and always serving ordinary people'. The declaration of "Zhan" has deceived the trust of a large number of ordinary people, and took the opportunity to help the Chaoxing Group to make great progress and continue to expand, and it has become the tenth largest enterprise in Longcheng after our nine major enterprises.
"Hmph, what is 'fighting for ordinary people', as the Lu family, you should know the details of this woman better than anyone else. She is just using ordinary people to make waves and fish in troubled waters to realize her ambitions!"
