Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Li Jialing looked out the window at a platoon of wounded veterans and bowed forward and offered flowers, tightening his fist: “This must not be the case in the days of Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi. ”

“It's all the same. ”

"If, in the era of the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, there was not so much corruption and chaos in the immortals, and the immortals were not so ‘selfish and morally corrupt' today, it was not that the immortals' moral standards' were higher, just because the empire was still in the pioneering phase, it could devour the interests of the newly conquered areas on all sides to ease the internal conflict.

“A nation such as the Real Human Empire must be built on accelerating expansion, and when it stops, internal contradictions will erupt and the empire will irreparably go into decline.

“To the extent that the empire is corrupt to this day, it is already ill, there is no cure. Any ‘innovation’ is the cure for the original. At best, it eliminates the toxic tumors on the body, but it is impossible to change the defects deep in the genes. Don't say that Li Linghai and Lei have become tigers. Even if Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi is reborn, how can we treat this country? ”

“If you really want to change bones and rebuild the empire, you must make the most outright rejection and denial of the Avenue of the Fixers of the 'weak flesh and strong, the king of the defeat' - the question is, is it still the 'Empire of the Real Humanity' without the guidance of the Fixed Avenue? And which fairy practitioner can afford to rebuild such devastating feelings about himself? ”

Li Jialing thought about it for a long time: “Is there no other way? ”

“It has to be. ”

Li Yao seriously said, "Survival is the first instinct of life. As long as Xian Avenue adheres to the law of 'weak flesh and strong, king defeated Ko’. In order to survive, all people will be instinctively driven to use all resources on themselves, consuming them in meaningless internal struggles, even if not for the time being, and hiding them in case of need from time to time, they will never invest in the public, the country, civilization and external struggles. What else does this talk about 'optimal allocation of resources'? ”

Li Jialing frowned and shook his head: “That said, would it be better to repair the Avenue? Under the guidance of Shinji Avenue, the Shinji will surely maintain a high moral standard, will fight for the masses, and there will be no class solidification and large interest groups? If that is the case, the Republic of the Stars and the Firefly will not perish! ”

“You are right, I do not want to deceive people. Whether practitioners or immortals are human beings, as long as they are human beings, human instincts, desires and defects, everything that happens today in the Real Human Empire, tomorrow… yesterday on the Republic of the Stars and Fireflies, has also happened, and even led to the destruction of two before and after. ”

Li Yao fell into deep thought, muttering, “But I am willing to believe that, at least, in a society where the ideas of 'the strong help the weak, the weak feedback the strong, the strong and the weak work together, support each other’ and so on are mainstreamed, people are not so strongly motivated to undermine the interests of the whole to grow themselves - since the whole is the strongest backing and warmest reliance of the individual, then put the interests above the whole, first to grow the whole and then to consider themselves, not against humanity, right?

“If you still can't understand it, building the simplest social model, in which the whole society is highly compressed and simplified, with only two people and one resource.

“One of them is you, you're not sure if you're a practitioner or a fairy practitioner, and you can be flexible in your strategy of practicing and practicing fairies.

“And the other is a master who is far above you, but he is seriously injured and urgently needs this resource to recover.

“Naturally, this resource is now in the hands of a strong, disease-free person, and if you choose to consume it yourself, you can increase your strength by 10 points, while another seriously injured person is likely to die soon.

“But if you give resources to this seriously injured master, he will recover and increase his strength by 100 points.

“By the way, in addition to the two of you, there are a wide variety of threats in this world, and the stronger your overall strength, the more likely it is that you will survive in a world of crisis.

“The question is, in the first instance, if you know that this grievously wounded master is a ruthless fairy practitioner who believes in the concept of 'weak flesh and strong, honored as king, defeated as king, won as winner’, are you willing to give this precious resource to him so that he can fully regain his strength, and your strength is only one-fifth or even one-tenth of his strength?

“In the second scenario, if you know clearly that this seriously injured master is a practitioner who has fought for weakness countless times, what would you choose, to give yourself the resources to maximize your own personal combat power, or to give him the maximum fighting power of your team? ”

Li Jialing's eyeballs circled and circled, his fists tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and after a long time, he took a long breath of relief, and said harshly: “I can't lie. In the first case, I will leave the resources to myself, regardless of whether this expert will die; in the second case, I would most likely give the resources to this expert, but after he regains strength, he should protect me.

“In the first case, however, there is another option, and if the resource is divisible, I will split it it up, give it to myself in large part, give it to the master in small part, let him recover a little bit, keep it slightly weaker than me, and do a little bit of work. ”

“It's all the same. ”

"No matter how much resources you have allocated to this immortal, your team's combat power has not been maximized, in other words, ‘optimal allocation of resources' has not been achieved," said Li Yaoqian.

“Not to mention that you give this seriously injured fairy master one and a half stars of resources, he may not be grateful to you, he may also be angry at you for your stinginess, in the next battle of companionship, the two of you have to focus on fighting each other, beware of each other, without waiting for external threats to appear, firing themselves together, right? ”

Li Jialing stunned for a moment. "Yes, but in the second situation, who can guarantee that this practitioner will get all the resources, and when he recovers strength, he will surely protect the weak? What if his mentality changes, tearing up the false mask at a critical moment, and abandoning me? ”

“Probability, there is a probability of anything, I did not say that in the second case, the strategy of unifying resources to this master of the fixer must be the right one, only to say that such a strategy will maximize the chance of survival, that's all. ”

Li Yao's hands held onto the window frame and looked at the statue of the black star, Wu Yingqi, in the light rain across the street. "It is possible that the rectifier is indeed a hypocrite, but the immortal must always be a real dwarf. The hypocrite only hurts people at the last moment of tearing his face apart. The truly dwarf sprays venom 24 hours a day, 24 seconds a day, every second, from the start, and plots to do anything to hurt people's self. If you want to be a partner, the fool knows what to choose! ”

Li Jialing frowned: “What exactly is Brother Yao trying to say? ”

"What I want to say is, in any small world, if your companion is a fairy practitioner, however kind, morally noble, selfless you might have been, based on the instinct of survival, your only strategy is to quickly transform yourself into a fairy practitioner, preferably a more ruthless, cruel and fraudulent fairy practitioner, at least to strike a 'balance of terror' between each other, so that you can be safe and your partnership can be temporarily strong.

“But in this way, the world of immortals made up of you immortals can not do the 'optimal allocation of resources' in the bragging, on the contrary, under the optimal conditions can play 100 points of fighting power, under the game of survival of your heart and soul, can only play 10 points.

“I would like to refer to this phenomenon as the 'plight of the pixie cultivators', the entire Real Human Empire now in a huge ‘plight of the pixie cultivators', so rich and abundant that even the tiny Alliance, which has no creativity in the corner of the Star Sea, cannot be eliminated.

“And in the second social form, if your companion is a practitioner, you also have a great chance to convert into a practitioner and act more selflessly, for example, by giving precious resources priority to each other, because you know that this is a reliable investment, and you will definitely gather more resources to give back to them when they heal.

“Such a positive incentive and reward will make you two increasingly selfless and united, and eventually achieve 'optimal allocation of resources' and output the most powerful overall combat power, right? ”

Li Jialing crooked his head for half a day and thought: “Looks like it. ”

“Of course it is. Didn't you see the living examples? ”

Li Yao drank with the head stick, “In the past, you were a nasty, evil, worried to disguise yourself, bloody killing a blinking little demon, the best 'to fix a fairy blank', but since you met Brother Yao I am such a kind, moral noble, full of manipulation, you have been unconsciously sensed by my great coast personality, and you have learned to see the world in the way of the minds of the fixer, gradually shifting in the direction of the fixer - isn't this the best proof?

“So as long as everyone gives a little love, the universe will be a better tomorrow. Although the Avenue now looks a little outdated and depressed, it will certainly become the mainstream of the center of the Starsea again in time! Only repairing the Avenue can save the Empire. If we really want to 'innovate the Empire’ and create a ‘new Empire’, it should not be the new Empire of the Li Linghai and Lei Chenghu generations, but the new Empire of the whole people! ”
