Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“The so-called '996' system of work would be so devastating to ordinary people that it would not be a human life! ”

“The whole economic system operates on the basis of high welfare. If drastic reforms are carried out, they will indeed cause great turmoil in the lives of ordinary people. In the economic statements, they are just a line of figures that can weigh the pros and cons and sacrifice at any time. But in real life, they are living people, who have seven desires, who will complain and even resist! ”

“Go to the resources of the star seaside to dig the planet, face endless darkness over the years, and still have a high mortality threat. Every ton of crystal is mined with spotted blood. No wonder most dragon people are frowned upon! ”

“Panlong civilization has not developed too much star navigation technology in thousands of years. It is too difficult to build a star naval fleet from nothing! For more than a dozen or two years, the average man's clothes have shrunk without necessarily seeing obvious progress. It's like roaming in the dark, never seeing the direction of dawn, in other words, nobody can bear it! ”

When Dragon Cloud Heart sees the role he plays, from the beginning, he looks like a beautiful, vibrant teenage girl, one step at a time becomes depleted, wrinkled, pressed by the burden of life can not breathe, the bottom of his heart cannot help but give rise to the idea of a tremendous tangle.

Born in the “golden age” before the scarcity of resources, the young girl grew up in a honeypot, naïve and carefree, taking for granted all happiness in life.

However, just three days after her marriage to her equally naive and kind husband, the Government announced that Panlong civilization would enter the era of the "glorious march”, with drastic cuts in benefits, extended working hours, forced savings and purchases of government bonds, and that all the people would tighten their belts to support the construction of Starfleet.

When Dragon Cloud Heart sees this place, it feels quite comfortable.

As a result of the same policy, she had made several announcements just now when she was the Chief Executive.

At that time, she also built a tall house and took a holistic view of the future of Panlong civilization, but did not think about what such a change would mean for ordinary people.

After entering the era of the "glorious march”, she played this ordinary dragon woman, whose life like a glass house was ruthlessly smashed.

The hours have been dramatically extended, but salaries have been cut by half - even half of this poor Baba will have to be split up and forcibly stored in the designated account of the "Star Sea Development Bank” for less than 10 years, without interest, even the principal will be reduced by a large chunk!

Significant resources have been invested in the construction of Starfleet. Prices have skyrocketed in society, currencies have depreciated and people are panicking.

Inflation and the economic crisis erupted every two or three years, and the situation was barely stabilized until a strict rationing system had to be imposed.

The warm veil between her and her husband was soon torn to pieces by harsh realities, and her husband, who was squeezed out of sweat in the factory during the day, became more and more silent, more sensitive and less accessible.

The marriage of the two men and their family ties were on the verge of collapse.

One day, bad news came from the outside world, the latest mining starship, which took a lot of money to build, once again declared the experiment unsuccessful, and the resources that transported countless people out of their tight belts in the Big Bang were wasted for nothing!

At last, people can't hold their anger and march to the streets to protest, including the “husband” of Dragon Cloud Heart!

Dragon Cloud Heart knew that her “husband” was facing collapse because of a lack of raw materials. He was in a terrible mood these days and occasionally faced the wall, his eyes were straight and he muttered to himself.

Dragon Cloud was relieved to take to the street and shouted her husband's name in a crowded crowd.

Suddenly there was a hot air wave ahead, and a thick black smoke burst!

Along with a burst of heartbreaking shouting, Dragon Cloud Heart heard the burst of crystal rock bursts tearing air - the last sound she heard in this game.

“Ah!”

Dragon cloud mind suddenly awakened from the game, not knowing when to break away from the mindset of the bystanders and completely fall into it.

She seemed to have just escaped a nightmare and gasped for almost a minute before her heartbeat slowly subsided.

However, by filtering out the details of this ordinary person's life, her breathing became impatient.

Because she finds out that this is exactly the same story that went from repression to massacre when she played the second game?

“It turns out everything I've been through as an ordinary person is my own fault! ”

Dragon Cloud's heart concealed the true meaning of the game Civilization.

She doesn't like simulated business and strategic rivalry, but she doesn't dislike role play.

Next, she played a different role in more than a dozen Panlong civilizations, but they shared a common feature, all of them small figures, ordinary people.

Some of them are union presidents who are eager to gain some more rights for their members.

There are also ordinary soldiers of the army involved in repression and massacres.

There are also resources to dig on the planet that go far to the beach of the stars, and eventually die tragically in the depths of the mine veins, with no remains of miners.

And the closest relatives of the miners who were killed.

The more contact with the lower social strata of Panlong civilization, in all aspects, the more tangled and complex the mindset of Dragon Cloud becomes.

“The resources on a planet are limited. To keep civilizations alive, you have to jump out of the planet! ”

“However, how easy it is to jump out of a planet is to waste decades of resources on astronomical numbers and perform a tragic scene in countless households, but in the end there is still a bamboo basket of water! ”

“It is too difficult, too difficult, too difficult for a civilization to develop, not even talk about development, just to survive in the sea of stars! ”

Dragon clouds are emotional.

She would have liked to have chosen more civilizations and tried the lives of ordinary people in the pharmaceutical fork world, the Wuying world and even the Sha 'an world.

However, another glittering line of small words appeared below the main interface, attracting her attention.

It seems that in the course of her earlier game, she met certain trigger conditions and opened a brand new module of the game.

The module is an informational film in the Civilization game called The Rise of Empires.

On top of the five large letters cast in steel with a hint of smoke, there is also a black lightning flag that covers the sun, and under the flag is a black cut with a top armor.

In recent years, rumours of a real human empire have been spreading across the streets and alleys of the Three Realms, including the rise of the Black Star Emperor, with dozens of versions of stories flying around.

Dragon Cloud Heart immediately guessed that this information film should be about Wu Yingqi's history of step-by-step rise, theft of supreme power, and eventually the establishment of a true human empire after his arrival in the Republic of the Stars and Sea.

Indeed, the introduction to the information film mentions the Rise of Empires as an entirely new world derived from the enormous database and computational power of Civilization, with the main maps concentrated around the most prosperous star sea republics of the human world.

Players are free to choose their role, either as members of the parliament of the Starling Sea Republic or as masters of historic majorities, or as leaders of central armies defending the capital, indigenous leaders of the semi-independent world of the border… in different capacities to accelerate, delay, support or prevent the emergence of a real human empire.

Of course, if you wish, you can also play Wu Yingqi personally, from the perspective of "Black Star Emperor”, to experience that black rise path.

However, the vast majority of functional modules are still in the process of being perfected. All of these identities have not yet been realized, and only a handful of roles can be played by the testers.

Dragon cloud heart randomly chose one of a series of unusual names, and the light flashed in front of it, as if it had appeared in a whole new world.

A large stream of information continues to penetrate deep into her brain.

She is an ordinary citizen of the Republic of the Stars and her husband is a senior mineral structure expert.

Ten years ago, she came with her husband to settle down on this little resource planet, she worked at a primary school attached to the mining district, and she had two lovely babies, one daughter, and she lived a warm and calm life, as if it were just as good for a long time.

The war broke their peaceful lives, and the planet of resources was occupied by fierce enemies, and their own commands, which had originally been set up here, were hurriedly evacuated, leaving them all here as civilians.

They have not given up their resistance, and many of the remnants and young adults among the civilian population have entered the intricate depths of the mines to persevere in battle and in vain defend the dignity of the Starling Sea Republic.

Although not directly associated with the underground resistance, her husband, with his expertise, assisted the resistance and risked his life to use their home as a secret meeting place for the resistance.

The game has invested a lot of computing power and rendering effects in this story of an unknown little character, creating a world of truth and falsehood, creating a sense of illusion and truth in the mind of Dragon Cloud.

She “sees" herself holding her daughter, holding her son, pretending to walk in front of the house, but helping the resistance members of the family watch the wind.

She can even clearly feel her tension, anxiety, anger, hatred blending together and not being able to describe her feelings in ink.

“Will the enemy discover the existence of resistance groups, and if they do, how will they retaliate against us? ”

“Will our army come back? ”

“I don't care for myself, but can my son and daughter grow up safe and healthy in the arms of their country? ”

Dragon Cloud completely replaced himself with a gaming figure, worried.

At this moment, she suddenly felt the earth tremble slightly, followed by a strong scorching smell, hundreds of dark blue arcs running through the horizon, like 10,000 volcanoes full of thunder erupting at the same time!

She saw the starship of countless enemies take off, before breaking through the confines of the gravitational circle and being caught, torn and crushed by an electric arc!

But before she could scream, thunder turned into a giant wave, sweeping across the planet, devouring all enemies, resistance fighters, and all civilians, including her and her two children!

Dragon Cloud Heart struggles out of the game again.

It was freezing like a dead man, only his teeth collided violently, making a "clicking” sound.

She knows who she's playing.

It was one of the eight million civilians “sacrificed” by the Black Star Emperor in the Battle of Karan.
