499: Chapter 492: Cheng Ziang’s Little Calculations 499: Chapter 492: Cheng Ziang’s Little Calculations Having sent Luo’er off, Cheng Ziang turned around.
At this point, Luoya was hugging her arms, sulking, her eyebrows furrowed and her face straight, her eyes equally full of dissatisfaction.
“Constantly frowning will make you age.
Look at your brother, he seems more youthful than you.” Cheng Ziang said, smiling at her irritated expression.
“What did you say!” Luoya glared at him, though this ti she dared not continue to frown.
“Why do you always quarrel with your brother?” Seeing her willing to engage with him, Cheng Ziang quickly started to ease the tension.
“Why do you want to destroy the Ancient States’ plan?” Instead of answering his question, Luoya took the initiative to ask her own.
“Hmm, good question,” Cheng Ziang nodded, paused for a mont, then continued, “We have both subjective and objective reasons, which one do you want to hear first?”
“Subjective!” After a pause, Luoya answered.
“Listen carefully, whether in this world or on Earth, the strong dictate the rules.
Only the strong can define happiness, only the strong can define justice.
The weak can claim they cherish freedom and equality, but they are nothing in front of the strong.”
“Compared to Earth, this world is too far behind, and possibly for the next few centuries, Earth will remain in a superior position.
To the weak, whatever the strong say is correct, is correct.
Whatever the strong say can’t be done, is illegal.
Do you understand this principle?” Cheng Ziang asked.
“Hmm…” After a long silence and with her head down, Luoya nodded.
“Good, so now the strong is Earth, and this world is the weak.
Whatever we say is wrong, is wrong.
Whatever we say can’t be done, absolutely can’t be done.
Earthlings plan to establish their order in this world.
Before the frawork of order is completed, any attempt to challenge their authority is erroneous!” Cheng Ziang explained.
“You Earthlings are too domineering, totally unreasonable!” Luoya glared at him.
“Only when you are strong will people reason with you.” Cheng Ziang said indifferently.
Luoya lowered her head, dropping into silence again.
Looking at her, Cheng Ziang continued, “We believe that the Ancient States’ Creating God Plan is a mistake, so we have to correct them.
This approach might be wrong, it might be despicable, but there is no choice.
When soone tries to challenge your position, and you don’t swiftly knock them down, then a second person will rise to challenge you, and then a third…”
“So, you admit that you’re doing sothing despicable?” After an extended silence, Luoya couldn’t help but ask.
“Of course, we certainly admit it.
The Advance Team has never been about promoting justice, but rather it represents the will of the headquarters.” Cheng Ziang shrugged.
“The people of Ancient States advocate equality and harmony, even if they have weapons, they won’t harm others.” Pausing for a mont, Luoya began to speak for the people of Ancient States.
“When people haven’t beco rich, they will tell others that even when they have money, they will still live frugally and not waste a penny.
The equality and freedom of the weak are laughable, because they fundantally lack the ability to safeguard them.” Cheng Ziang said.
Luo’er knew these principles as well, but for so reason, he and Luoya’s relationship was always negative.
Luoya could accept it when Cheng Ziang said these things, but if Luo’er had, she probably would have been upset by now.
“So, you don’t allow the Ancient States to possess powerful weapons?” Luoya asked.
“At least not now.
We won’t suppress the developnt of the Ancient States.
When the order of this world is established, we will help them develop.” Cheng Ziang said.
“And what’s the objective reason?” Listening to his words, Luoya fell into a long silence.
After sighing, she asked.
“The objective reason is, we worry that the Ancient States’ people won’t be able to control such power.” Cheng Ziang said.
“If they could produce it, why couldn’t they control it?” Luoya looked at him and asked.
“Well…” Cheng Ziang thought for a mont, then pulled the revolving pistol he always carried from his waistband and held it out to her saying, “Now I give you this gun, do you know how to use it?”
“No…” Luoya stared at the strange weapon in his hand and eventually shook her head.
“If you don’t know how to use this gun, it could misfire, and once it does,” Cheng Ziang said, taking out a bullet from the chamber and shaking it in front of her, “a bullet like this could blow a big hole in you.”
With that, he put the gun back in its holster and said seriously, “Being able to manufacture doesn’t an being able to operate.
Even we, holding these weapons, also worry about misfires due to improper operation.
The Ancient States’ people rely on the power of Ancestor technology, not their own.
So we’re worried that they would lose control of such power and cause a disaster.”
“Ancestor… technology…” Luoya awkwardly strung together the two words.
“The Ancient States’ people are creating a weapon that relies on air magic power.
If it gets out of control, there will be serious problems.”cheng Ziang said seriously.
“What is air magic power?” Luoya asked, frowning.
“Can you use magic?” Cheng Ziang asked, giving her a once-over.
“Just a little bit, my mother taught .” Luoya said.
“You can use magic, but you don’t know where the magic power cos from.
That’s the problem with most people in this world.
The Ancient States might be enlightened, but they are still, after all, a feudal country.
If they can’t control the technology of the Ancestors, not only they, but other countries might suffer as well.” Cheng Ziang sighed, shaking his head helplessly.
“I don’t quite understand.” Luoya shook her head.
“The Ancient States’ people are like children playing with fire, and what we need to do is break their hands, so they don’t dare to touch the flas before growing up.” Cheng Ziang put it briefly.
Luoya looked at him, frowning.
Although she felt discontented towards him, her tolerance for Cheng Ziang was much higher than for Luo’er, so she didn’t argue with him.
“So, we might need your help, are you willing to help us?” Cheng Ziang asked, looking at her.
“What kind of help do you need?” Luoya asked.
“There will be a use for you, are you willing to help?” Cheng Ziang asked.
“That will depend!” Luoya didn’t show the sa resistance to Cheng Ziang as she did with Luo’er.
“We are planning to leave the day after tomorrow, if you make up your mind by tomorrow, co to the airboat to find .” Cheng Ziang said.
After speaking, he left the room.
Although Luoya looked quite conflicted, he thought he had persuaded her.
But upon further thinking, asking her to help indeed seed to put her in a difficult position.
After all, she grew up in Ancient States and always considered herself one of its people.
Although she carries the blood of Earthlings, Luo’er and Luo Chuan returned to Earth before she was born, so to her, Earth, and her father, were more like abstract concepts.
Actually, Cheng Ziang felt that whether Luoya was willing to help or not was secondary, he mainly wanted to take her on the airboat to avoid being intercepted by that kid Murong.
It seed that when they t the other day, he showed a look of admiration for Luoya, inevitably making Cheng Ziang worry.
But considering, since Luo’er entered the Otherworld, his love life has smoothly flowed.
He t so girls who beca infatuated with him, never thought he would be rejected by Luoya.
This girl was indifferent to Luo’er’s appearance, she ignored his personality, and from the bottom of her heart she couldn’t stand him.
Rather than that, seeing Luo’er’s helpless expression, even though Cheng Ziang felt it was improper to have such thoughts, he couldn’t help feeling satisfied.
