Chapter 468 Extra 7: "Chen Universe" (7)
"Uh..."
The young man stood in awkward silence, "There's no need for that, I am Yi's Personal Guard, I receive plenty of rewards on a daily basis, and I'm not about to die anytime soon, as long as nothing unexpected happens, I should still have quite a few years ahead of me."
"It's okay."
Elder Bai said seriously, "I'll remember it for you, you'll eventually die, right? You can't possibly never die, can you?"
"I'm not joking with you."
"Those who I guard in the tomb always get a surprise, there is a certain chance they can be resurrected."
"Oh?"
A flicker of surprise passed through the young man's eyes, then he spoke earnestly, "I misunderstood Elder Bai just now, so thank you, Elder Bai. I'll talk to my family, in case I die unexpectedly one day, I'll have them send my body to you."
...
After the young man left, Elder Bai, with a reflective expression, swept his gaze around. He couldn't help but admit this city felt truly different, almost thriving. He had rummaged through so many trash cans, yet not a single corpse could be found.
It was evident.
The public safety in this city was quite good.
In the past Fengtian City, finding a corpse in a trash can was all too normal, what else if not trash should be thrown in the bins? Before he started working security at Eternal Cemetery, one of his main sources of obtaining corpses was scavenging through trash cans.
Sometimes he could find several at once.
"Youth is really the best time."
Perhaps it was that old age always brings nostalgia, and as he pondered, he even began to miss his younger days. Back then, he was energetic and much more agile than now. When young, you want too much.
Beauty, power, money.
Only when you're old do you realize all you want is one thing—health.
Elder Bai shook his head to clear the messy thoughts from his mind, no longer dwelling on them, and instead found a quiet place to tentatively channel his thoughts into the bead in his hand.
Instantly, his head spun as the earth seemed to whirl beneath him.
"Eh, Elder Bai, why are you hiding here? I've been looking for you for ages."
Seeing Elder Bai, Hungry Monkey's eyes lit up. He stepped forward, patted Hungry Monkey's shoulder, and grinned, "Let's go, join us for the second round. I'll drink with you."
"I want to ask you something."
After hesitating for a moment, Elder Bai hesitantly said, "If you had a very large plain and you wanted to build a kingdom or even a civilization on it, but lacked the energy and finances, what would you do?"
"How would I know."
Hungry Monkey shrugged indifferently: "Do I look like the kind of person who could give you an answer? Go ask Black Doctor; he's got a more nimble mind."
"Hey."
Standing to the side, Scarred Dog and Wang Jili exchanged glances and suddenly grinned, "Elder Bai, we know how to handle this. We've tried it before; we call it 'player flow'."
"This was how we did it in our universe."
"We'd distribute virtual gaming pods to people and call them 'players', letting them think they were in a game, when in fact their consciousness was transferred to another puppet body in the real world. This way, you only need to pay out a tiny bit of compensation; use things like leaderboards to stimulate the players, and they'll work diligently for you like mules."
"After all, in their eyes, it's just a game, so they naturally won't feel tired."
"They might feel it's a bit of a grind, at most."
"But what's that saying? The more you grind in a game, the more addictive it becomes."
"This should be the most suitable method for you."
"That does sound like a good method."
A glint flashed in Elder Bai's eyes, but it soon faded into despondence, "But your method requires certain technological support, and a lot of puppets, both of which I don't have."
"No need."
Scarred Dog said with a smile, "That's our old way of doing things, long obsolete. We've already developed a new method. No need for puppets; just directly transport the players themselves over there."
"Consider it going through a portal."
"Then create some crises for them, and they'll eagerly build shelters. As long as there's a sufficient number of them, the embryo of a civilization will slowly emerge, right?"
