Chapter 431: Chapter 429 Sakura
Considering various reasons, it’s no wonder that there are more professors than students… There’s hardly any fresh blood, and the good creations often just circulate within a small clique. Here, doing research is purely for self-entertainnt.
There are also many sociologists who are deeply concerned, being among the smartest people in the world, they naturally have a sense of inherent worry.
Like this gentleman before , Mr. Aleph Bal…
“Human beings, as a species, always like to find loopholes in systems, just as they do in gas. If they find a loophole they can exploit, it often produces a mysterious thrill and they keep using it.”
“Our social system is not impregnable, you know. There can’t be a perfect system in the world. Especially when it cos to law, where is so-called absolute justice? Achieving relative justice is already quite good.”
These smart folks are well aware of this, but the problem is, the public doesn’t know. Without a military, without a governnt, there would naturally be no influence. Even if soone has a special idea to supplent the rules of society, nobody pays attention. In today’s pervasive attitude of anarchism, if sothing really were to happen, the public’s response would be very slow, and they would likely maintain an indifferent attitude before the severity of the situation beca apparent.
Mr. Aleph Bal said, “We just pray that the world can continue like it has for millions of years before—always carrying on.”
There are still so volunteer dia organizations on campus, with decent influence, because “dia” implies a certain degree of discourse power. And the power of discourse is the greatest power in the world, perhaps preventing so things from happening.
But that’s about it…
Various political parties with greater cohesion simply cannot form, nor could they have enough strength to overthrow society.
After parting from the worried old professor, Zhang Yuan also found himself in a mood tinged with anxiety; he too saw the contradictions in the world… At the end of all that is beautiful and peaceful, there always seems to be a hint of gloom, only it is unknown when this hint of gloom will erupt.
The pebble high in the sky does not know when it will fall, and the illusionary world has yet to reveal what kind of ripples it will cause.
Ti flows like water, ceaselessly passing by, and the four years of university soon ca to an end…
Every winter and sumr vacation, Zhang Yuan would go ho and reunite with his relatives. In the small family of four, his sister and Wang Nana’s flower shop and pet shop were quite impressive.
Ma Mingtao also started his global travels, often sharing his whereabouts in his circle of friends and making friends in various cities.
A traveler, this is a pretty good profession.
Days passed by freely and happily, without much turbulence.
During the university’s graduation party, Zhang Yuan and his roommate Ren Junzhe finally launched their 4-year project ga “Glory of the Dominator.” When the online user count broke ten thousand, Ren Junzhe was thrilled, his face flushing red with excitent, and he bristled with energy.
The dream had at last beco reality.
In fact, he was a truly pure individual, just wanting to create a ga for the sense of achievent. Most ga developers have this pure-hearted mindset.
It was a slow-paced era.
“Thank you so much, Zhang Yuan. Without you, I definitely couldn’t have completed such a vast amount of work.”
He punched Zhang Yuan in the chest, “That’s settled then, all the money from selling skins goes to you! But you’ll have to make the skins yourself, haha… And so balance patches, I’ll need your help with that later. If I can’t solve so technical issues, I’ll still need to consult you.”
“No problem,” Zhang Yuan laughed.
Ren Junzhe was in high spirits, “When your Rocket goes to space, invite along.”
“Definitely!”
“Oh right, you’re heading back to East Sea City, aren’t you? Before we part, let give you a little gift.” Ren Junzhe suddenly rummaged through his bag for a while and pulled out a pale blue glass tube.
“What’s this?” Zhang Yuan asked.
“It’s a kind of drink called Sakura, just concocted by people over in the West. A senior gave it to … Haha, that senior was really open-minded, we had a blast last night.”
“No wonder you didn’t co back to the dorm yesterday… Feeling any kidney deficiency now?” Zhang Yuan skeptically took the small glass jar of the drink, examining it for a mont, “A drink?”
“Anyway, you’ll know once you try it… It’s just really weird, kind of hard to explain.”
Relying on his past trust in Ren Junzhe, Zhang Yuan took a sip, and before he knew it, it was gone.
He blinked, feeling as though he’d just drunk a bit of saltwater, with no special effects… his heartbeat calm, his breathing normal.
“The so-called negative ion oxygen water invented by Westerners?” Zhang Yuan joked, “So people, in their quest to live a little longer, like to concoct such useless stuff, purely for psychological comfort. Then there’s the new quantum speed reading, which is just brain-dead stupidity…”
“Ah, have so more ‘sugar water’,” said Ren Junzhe, winking and making faces.
Zhang Yuan, sowhat dubious, took another sip of the ‘sugar water’.
And in that instant, it felt as if sothing exploded in his mind!
This was no sugar water; it was like first love, that sweet bliss floating in the air, as if entering a mysterious palace…
Dopamine surged wildly through his brain, and it took Zhang Yuan a full ten minutes to gradually co back to his senses.
He could still feel every muscle in his body twitching, the aftertaste was endless.
That sensation… was incredible!
It was like a dream.
“You didn’t give so kind of illegal drug, did you? I’d call the cops,” said Zhang Yuan, swallowing hard, looking very uneasy.
He actually wanted to experience that wonderful feeling again!
But his rational mind was telling him, never again! He mustn’t!
That feeling was terrifyingly aweso, both horrifying and thrilling, as if a cold breeze had risen from his spine and seized his mind… It took a good while before Zhang Yuan managed to suppress that intense craving and slowly returned to calm.
In this world, drug use is, of course, strictly prohibited, whether it’s using or manufacturing. Once discovered, one would be arrested by robots and subjected to severe punishnt.
Usually, it ant life imprisonnt, never to return to the normal world… Robots administered the law with absolute fairness and justice, allowing no room for personal feelings.
“No, no, no, of course not!” Facing Zhang Yuan’s grim expression, Ren Junzhe called out softly, “This stuff only amplifies emotions, and it only works for a few minutes. Doesn’t sugar water make you happy, make your brain produce dopamine… It just makes you happier, in other words… amplifying the feedback chanism of the nervous system!”
“Oh, and by the way, if you were to be pricked with a needle during that ti, you’d be in agony! Happy things beco happier, painful things beco more painful, there’s no psychological hallucination, nothing else.”
“So it’s definitely not in the category of illegal drugs!”
“It’s just an emotion amplifier! If you don’t believe it, you can have a robot check it, they definitely won’t find anything.”
