Chapter 106: real me
After realizing the difference, both Xia Xuan and the system fell silent.
This silence lasted for a full minute. Xia Xuan took the lead and asked, "System, why did your emotions suddenly become so great."
Xia Xuan didn't ask why the system suddenly had feelings, because after getting along for nearly a year, he had already realized that the system was not completely emotionless. But the feeling is very weak, if you don't pay attention, you can't find it at all.
Xia Xuan has seen only one emotion in the system so far, and that is doubt. The system is puzzled by the various behaviors of human beings that go against their survival instincts. For example, the first time they encounter the night raid, the system is puzzled by the night raid, a group that can risk their lives for others.
And this time, the emotion generated by the system is anger, to be precise, hatred is not steel. The emotions of the system this time are bigger than the previous ones, and even without careful observation, one can detect the anger contained in the system's voice.
[The system doesn't know] The system begins to wonder if it is malfunctioning.
"I don't know?" Xia Xuan touched his chin and believed the system's words. For some reason, with the continuous improvement of his strength, Xia Xuan gradually formed a concept in his heart that anyone in this world could betray him, but only the system would not.
His position with the system has always been the same, and his will is the will of the system.
"System what do you want now, or repeat what you just wanted, what you hated."
[The system hates that the host has been living for the expectations of others; the system hates that the host has been living for civilization; the system hates that the host pours all his love into his own people;]
Without any hesitation, the system repeated the words just now. It's just that this time the voice is no longer as full of emotional fluctuations as before, but has returned to its usual calm.
[The system hopes that the host can live for himself this time, the system hopes that the host can be a little selfish this time, the system hopes that the host loves Daxia this time, and also loves himself. 】
Always? Can you live for yourself this time? This time?
Xia Xuan immediately caught the key words in the system's discourse. He had just crossed over, so why did the system use it all the time? This time?
"What does the system always mean? And this time, isn't it the first time I've crossed over?" Xia Xuan asked.
[The system is not clear, but just now the system suddenly vaguely had this concept. It feels that the host has been pouring out all his love for Da Xia as he is now. 】
"It's been like this all the time?" Xia Xuan was lost in thought.
His thoughts ran fast, and all kinds of guesses appeared in Xia Xuan's mind.
Am I not the first time to cross? Have been pouring all your love into Daxia like now? In other words, the seven or eight transmigrators in the history of Daxia are not seniors, but me? !
Xiazu, Xia Shihuang, Xia Dedi, Xia Zhengdi, Xia Huodi, Xia Gongdi, Xia Wendi these great emperors are all me? Even the Empress is me? !
No, no, how could I be a woman, it must not be a transmigrator.
If the above conclusions are all true, does that mean that I have already crossed into this world since Xia Zu. Then after the death of the current body, will I be transported into the body of my descendants hundreds of years later?
Wait, this is not right, historically, the knowledge of each traveler is different. Plus I don't think my knowledge base can start the industrial revolution, invent gunpowder, and I don't even know how to make paper.
The previous emperors, with my knowledge reserve and vision beyond that era, I may be able to achieve their level, but after that, I have exceeded my own limit at all.
The conclusion that every traverser is me is obviously not valid, not to mention the empress. He does not know how to make black gunpowder and all kinds of artillery simply by Xia Huodi. And especially when Xia Gongdi was even more terrifying, it directly started the industrial revolution.
Xia Xuan thought of all kinds of possibilities, and each of the traversers was the most likely that he and the system had made mistakes.
However, combining various situations and their own abilities, it is obviously impossible for each traverser to be himself. Xia Xuan was in a hurry and knew how much he weighed. The achievements made by those great emperors have completely exceeded their knowledge reserves and abilities.
At this time, Xia Xuan's mind suddenly flashed, and he thought of a possibility. This possibility, if it is connected with every traverser, can explain why he can achieve achievements that are completely beyond his ability.
If the system is not born from the body, but from the beginning, it may explain why I can do things that are beyond my own ability.
It doesn't seem right, the function of the system is to open the portal. And if there was a system that could open the portal to go to another world to capture various technologies from the beginning, Daxia would have already unified the world.
My lifespan has reached more than 300 years old. If there is a system in Xiazu’s period, shouldn’t I die of old age?
Everything fell into a dead end again, and the previous vision collapsed again.
"System, are you saying that every traverser is me?"
Xia Xuan expressed his conjecture. Rather than thinking about it by himself, it is better to ask the system first.
[The system does not know]
"Then System, when were you born?"
[The system does not know when it was born. After the host activates the system, the system has a trace of consciousness. 】
[As the host continues to complete tasks, the consciousness of the system becomes clearer and clearer, until it finally has complete intelligence. 】
"In that system, I have always devoted my love to Da Xia. Could this feeling be your illusion?" Xia Xuan gave another guess.
[It may be a system error]
Because of the previous emotional fluctuations, the system suspects that it has made a mistake. It is obviously not normal that it has no emotions, but it will have the emotion of anger.
"Maybe," Xia Xuan intends to stop worrying about this issue. Now they don't have any evidence or clues to show that every traverser is themselves. It's obviously impossible to come up with an answer based on some feeling of the system and my own guesses.
Instead of continuing to struggle with this issue and wasting time, Xia Xuan was more interested in that new skill.
[True Self] (active): Unknown.
"What is the effect of this true self skill of the system? And I have not completed the task, and there is no task reward for the true self skill. Is this skill also borrowed from the dice of fate?" Xia Xuan asked while looking at the skill panel in his mind. .
[True self skills are not made by the system, but are inherent in themselves. The specific effect system of the competency skill is also unclear. The system only knows the meaning of its existence, that is, to let the host recognize who he is? 】
Hearing this explanation from the system, Xia Xuan suddenly felt that the possibility of guessing that every traverser in front of him was his own increased.
If the previous traversal will integrate the memory of the original body, this skill is indeed needed.
In fact, Xia Xuan is very aware of his state. Now his strength has reached that of a great magician, and his strength is still a small group of people at the top. But even with this level of mental power, Xia Xuan couldn't tell who he was.
But fortunately, this influence has become weaker and weaker as time goes by, and today he has basically gotten rid of the influence of his original body.
Those who possess the spiritual power of the great magician will be affected by the memory of the original body, let alone ordinary people.
Looking at the real self skills in the system skills panel, Xia Xuan decided to use it.
【True Self】Use.
Xia Xuan just clicked to use the next moment the scene in front of him changed, and the office opened inch by inch. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to a colorful mysterious space.
The mysterious space seems to be boundless, with countless colors intertwined, some are swirling, some are rectangular... At the same time, one by one bubbles float around Xia Xuan, these bubbles are big and small, the small is only the size of a fist, and the big ones are dozens of meters high.
And inside each bubble, there is a picture that is constantly circulating.
Before Xia Xuan could react, all the bubbles began to flow. Some of the bubbles began to approach him sharply, surrounding him.
Xia Xuan fixed his eyes and saw the pictures inside these bubbles.
Computers, mobile phones, apartments, high-rise buildings, cars, roads, and friends and relatives who were familiar with them in previous lives.
In these bubbles, various pictures emerged from Xia Xuan's memories before he passed through. In particular, the pictures that emerged from the big bubbles made him fresh in his memory, and he still remembers some pictures to this day.
"This is my memory?" Xia Xuan reached out and poked at the head-sized bubble in front of him. This bubble was from his junior high school graduation dinner.
Snapped!
The next moment, all the bubbles surrounding him exploded at the same time. Immediately afterwards, Xia Xuan flashed pictures in his mind, and there were things he remembered and things he had long forgotten.
These memories flashed in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern, giving him the feeling of reliving his life.
I don't know how long it took, Xia Xuan's dull eyes began to focus, and his consciousness was detached from the mysterious space.
At this time, the real memory in the system panel changed.
[True Self] (active): Go back to the past, see the self clearly, and the remaining times are 9 times.
Cooldown: 29 days 23 hours
Xia Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It seems that things are getting more and more complicated."
…
In the early morning of the second day, the capital of water.
With the continuous improvement of road construction, the water capital has become an important hub of the transportation network of the Eastern Xia Empire, and hundreds of thousands of tons of minerals pass through here every day.
At the same time, because of the beautiful environment of the Water Capital and the proximity to the post-zero base of the Eastern Xia Empire, thousands of soldiers on vacation choose to come here to rest every day. Because of this, the tourism industry in the land of water has become more prosperous.
Especially these soldiers of the Eastern Xia Empire, in the eyes of the hawkers, merchants, and shopkeepers in the water capital, they are all rich. The Eastern Xia Empire banknotes carried by each of them can be bought by their shops. The most important thing is that these Eastern Xia Empire soldiers don't think of the Eastern Xia Empire paper money, which is now equivalent to gold, as money.
This is not to blame for the soldiers of the Eastern Xia Empire to spend their money lavishly. On the contrary, the soldiers feel that no matter how much they spend here, it is still too cheap. A soldier of the Eastern Xia Empire, eating, drinking, and having fun in the City of Water would add up to only 10 Xia Yuan a day. 10 Xia Yuan is just a meal in the country, and you can eat and drink for a whole day here, isn't that cheap?
Not to mention the soldiers who participated in the development plan, excluding all kinds of subsidies and bonuses, the daily salary alone reached 100 summer dollars. The consumption is so cheap, coupled with the rare vacation that does not necessarily come once a month, the soldiers are sure to have a good time.
This is one of the benefits of industrial colonization. The Eastern Xia Empire only needs to pay a price that is almost negligible, in exchange for various resources that are too large to be calculated by the ten countries.
For manpower, the minimum wage in the Dongxia Empire is 800 yuan per month, which means at least 26.66 yuan per day for workers. As for the people of the Ten Nations, the Eastern Xia Empire only needs to pay them one Xia Yuan per day. Converted to the minimum wage of only one Daxia worker, 26 able-bodied laborers were recruited.
This situation will become more obvious when the Eastern Xia Empire gradually disintegrates the metal currency system of the Ten Kingdoms and replaces it with the Xia Yuan from another world printed by the Eastern Xia Empire itself.
This was originally an unequal transaction, and if it was placed on Yunxing, it would not be an exaggeration. But for the people of the ten countries who have been famined for years and have been under attack by various monsters, they only need to work one day to exchange for their family's rations for more than ten days, and even save a little spare money. Before this, they didn't even dare to think about it. It would be good to be able to fill their stomachs every day.
Jingle Jingle!
The alarm placed on the city gate by the Mineral Mining Department of the Water Capital sounded, and the huge bell broke the tranquility of the Water Capital, and all the residents woke up from their sleep.
After a while, a water capital resident wearing a yellow hard hat and a blue overalls came out of his house. After saying hello to the nearby co-workers, they walked towards the east gate together.
"Dad, come back early!" A seven- or eight-year-old boy shouted at the door to his father who had just walked out.
Hearing the voice, the boy's father turned around and waved to the little boy with a smile.
"Keff, go, or you will be trained by the foreman if you are late," said the companion next to him.
"Well," the boy's father turned to follow in the footsteps of his co-workers.
"Hey, I heard that the Empire intends to send someone to teach us knowledge," said a brown-haired man.
His words instantly caught the attention of the other co-workers, and they all inquired.
"Teach us knowledge? Xia Wen?" a worker said.
His words instantly brightened everyone's eyes, and now to everyone in the ten countries, it is equivalent to the words used by the upper class. As long as you can speak a few words of Xia Yu, or Xia Wen, your status in the eyes of others will be instantly elevated, just like a high-class person.
The main reasons for this phenomenon are: First, the power and powerlessness of the Eastern Xia Empire, and second, the upper classes of the Ten Kingdoms have begun to take pride in knowing a few Xia dialects, and a few plastic Xia dialects pop up from time to time when they speak.
So a strange cognition appeared in the ten countries, speaking Xia language is equal to high-class people, and not speaking Xia language is equal to bumpkin. As this strange cognition spreads, even some stubborn upper-level people have to learn a few words of Xia language to save their face.
"If that's the case, then I'll take this opportunity well. When I learn to visit and pick up my neighbors, I'll startle them with a Xia language."
"I heard from the manager that not only would he teach Xia Wen, but he would also select the best group of workers to teach them how to drive an excavator."
Whoa!
"is this real?!"
"Civilians like us can drive excavators?!"
After becoming a worker of the Eastern Xia Empire and seeing the power of those steel monsters, everyone dreams of being able to drive these steel monsters one day.
The strong should drive the excavator!
The Dongxia Empire wanted to teach workers Xia Wen and select the best group of workers to become excavator drivers. The news quickly swept the capital of water.
Receiving this news, all the workers in the water capital made up their minds. In the next work, I must give 200% of my efforts, and I must become a man who drives an excavator.
Such a fierce competition began, and everyone worked hard to become the man driving the excavator.
There are quite a few adventurers among the workers in these water capitals, who used to fight monsters with sharp blades in high spirits. Due to the compulsion of life, they replaced the armor on their bodies with blue tooling, and replaced the weapons in their hands with various excavation tools. They joined the infrastructure of the Eastern Xia Empire.
Most of the adventurers have become honorable foreman by virtue of their strong physique trained by fighting monsters before.
This is the current state of the vast majority of adventurers in the Ten Kingdoms, and in this society that does not require their adventurers to clean up monsters. There are only two kinds of people who can mix well. One is an adventurer with a silver medal or above to join the Dongxia Empire and become an excellent combat skill teacher. The second type of magician also joined the Dongxia Empire to become an excellent magic teacher.
Of course, if you have the strength of a great magician or a gold medal adventurer, the Eastern Xia Empire will give him more generous treatment.
The Temple of Law in the center of the Water Capital.
The King of the Human Kingdom of Grasland, Grasland III and the Maiden of the Sword, are sitting in the gazebo in the garden.
Glassland III put two bottles of Coke on the stone table, then picked up one of the bottles, twisted the bottle cap and handed it to the Sword Saint: "This is the drink of the Eastern Xia Empire that is popular among nobles recently. It's called Coke. I brought it here specially for you to taste."
"The shape of this drink is really peculiar," Sword Maiden took a bottle of Coke, then put it to her mouth and took a sip.
"The taste is equally peculiar and unexpectedly delicious."
Glassland III smiled and said, "I felt weird and unaccustomed to drinking it when I first started drinking it, but after drinking a few bottles, I gradually became addicted."
Next, Glassland III and the Sword Maiden started chatting, recalling the days of adventure together.
"Now that the Chaos Fang has been completely resolved by the Eastern Xia Empire, this war that has lasted for tens of thousands of years has finally ended, and the world has returned to peace." Glassland III reached out and touched the sword that accompanied him in his life and death.
"Back then, I naively thought about using my sword to end this battle, but I didn't expect that we would disband without even seeing the Demon King in the end."
"It's fine now, the world has returned to peace, and everyone is beginning to be happy."
The Sword Maiden nodded and said, "Indeed, I can feel that the people of the Water City are getting happier."
"Let everyone live a stable and happy life. This is the ideal of our team. It's just..." Glassland III's voice changed, and he continued.
"It's just that some people don't want to see this gradually getting better world."
"..." The Sword Maiden paused and didn't answer, he knew what this former teammate was talking about.
Glassland III didn't seem to see her strange, and continued: "I will never allow anyone to destroy this peace that has finally come. But some people are blinded by the glory of the past, just like those new adventurers who go hunting. Just like the goblins, they are blind and arrogant."
Hearing the words "Goblin", the Sword Maiden's heart jumped, and her body trembled twice.
"The Maiden of the Sword," Glassland III turned his head and took a deep look at the Maiden of the Sword, "I have lost too many companions, and I don't want to see my companions die again."
Glassland III got up and sorted it out, turned his back to the Sword Maiden and said, "Because of the cults and underground monsters that have sprung up all over the Ten Kingdoms, the Empire can no longer tolerate the existence of the Church. After a while, the Empire should come with a message. , I hope you accept that the empire's demands are nothing more than teachings, not your life."
After speaking, Glassland III quickly left the garden.
In the afternoon, the five major churches all received orders from the Eastern Xia Empire to acquire and change their teachings. This time, the Empire no longer hides its direct order, allowing the Church to make a choice.
Among them, the Church of the Goddess of Knowledge did not have any disagreement with both hands and feet. Under the instruction of the Goddess of Knowledge, all the magicians who now support the Church of the Goddess have joined the Eastern Xia Empire. The Supreme Church of God was the second church to agree to the demands of the Eastern Xia Empire. Although many high-level leaders in the high-level church opposed it, they were suppressed by the Sword Maiden.
When the other three churches planned to fight desperately to show their beliefs, the Supreme God and the other three goddesses descended the divine revelation respectively. After that, the remaining three churches did not resist and agreed to the request of the Eastern Xia Empire.
Although the 4 goddesses did not go crazy with the goddess of knowledge, after all, it is too dangerous to give up the goddess. But recently, the Dice of Destiny kept breaking the rules of the game, which made the four goddesses feel a sense of crisis. They began to find a way back for themselves, preventing the dice of fate from hitting them against the rules of the game one day.
...
Cut the world of red eyes, imperial capital, fashion laboratory.
Dr. Fashion sat on a pink chair, looked at the eyes of the subject squatting in front of him, and asked, "You mean, you discovered the base of the night raid?"
"Yeah!" The subject nodded repeatedly, "I was looking for a suitable dangerous species on the outskirts of the imperial capital as usual, and suddenly I saw a suspicious person walking through the forest 1 km away."
"So I followed it furtively, and when I finally caught up to a hillside, the suspicious figure suddenly disappeared."
"I was very puzzled at the time. The figure just got behind a big tree and disappeared suddenly. So I started to look around, and in the process of searching, I accidentally saw a wooden house in the forest."
"Through the window, I saw that the wooden house was full of members of the night raid."
After the subject's eyes were reported, the subject's nose with a huge red nose asked, "Doctor, have we notified General Esders?"
"Um..." Dr. Fashion was lost in thought, and he was now hesitating whether to notify General Esders. If General Esders is notified, then he will not be able to get Night Raiders to do human experiments.
And going alone, I don't seem to be able to beat a night attack.
Half a minute later, the fashion doctor suddenly stood up from the chair, picked up an orchid finger, and said firmly: "Rely on your own strength to fight for what you want, this is the quality that a fashionable man should have."
After speaking, Dr. Fashion raised his hand and stroked his cheek, looking intoxicated.
"Ah In order to get what they want, the most fashionable man in the imperial capital is not afraid of hardships, and faces the notorious killer organization night attack alone. This is so fashionable! I am indeed the most fashionable man in the empire!"
This is Dr. Fashion's failure to notify the special security forces, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is the reason why he went alone to encircle and suppress the night attack.
Again, because Dr. Fashion thinks it's very fashionable.
Hearing this, the surrounding experimental subjects looked at Dr. Fashion with admiration.
"As expected of a doctor!"
"The Doctor is indeed the most fashionable man in the Empire!"
"Doctor, Doctor!"
Dr. Fashion waved his high-spirited hand and said, "The Fashion Legion prepares for the battle and releases all the experimental subjects. Tomorrow we will go and catch the night attack. I want to make this group of notorious killers fashionable."
"Yes, Doctor!"
"Night Raid Get ready to meet the most fashionable men in the Empire." The Fashion Doctor smiled.
However, it is not a night attack that will greet him tomorrow, but the heavenly net of the Eastern Xia Empire. Dr. Fashion will get it tomorrow, a day trip to the Happy White House in the East Xia Empire.
