Chapter 838: Chapter 463: Too Immoral Chapter 838: Chapter 463: Too Immoral Despite all the unpleasantness that had occurred, both this way and that, rlin still joined Xien Waidao’s team.
At first, he was reluctant. After all, the guy across from him had so pretty big problems in his head, and joining them could very well lead to his own demise.
But after turning left when he left his ho and witnessing the madness of others, he felt Xien Waidao’s place was sowhat more normal.
In other areas affected by the Shadow’s erosion, most people had gone mad.
So places believed that facing nature in the state one was born could effectively resist the evil of this world, while others believed that switching the functions of the mouth and the anus could make them safer here.
Compared to these folks, Xien Waidao didn’t seem to have gone completely mad.
Until he saw how they used “zombies” here.
On the bustling streets, zombies with ferocious faces walked among them, doing the most dangerous jobs, the most inhumane tasks—effectively the perfect slaves.
Fortunately, the residents here did not accept the existence of this slave labor. They went on strike every day, indifferent even if they were made to redeem their sins.
After doing a round, rlin could no longer hold back and said to Xien Waidao, “Is this not inhumane?”
“Which aspect are you referring to?” Xien Waidao asked curiously.
“All of it!” rlin slamd Xien Waidao’s desk hard, attracting the attention of a bodyguard at the door.
Each of the three players had their own bodyguards—tool people specially hypnotized by Liuzi, very handy.
Waving his hand to quiet his own bodyguard, Xien Waidao said, “I still don’t understand. I’ve filled this place with order, I’ve shielded the people here from outside attacks, we are the most selfless administrators here, after all, we don’t even pay ourselves a salary, while these residents are freeloading off us. So, where is it inhumane?”
“You’re playing with people!”
Xien Waidao pondered, “I see what you an. You an to say that you think there’s a problem with my efficient administrative system?”
“You actually have the nerve to call it an administrative system?”
“Why not?” Liuzi, who had just logged in, said from the door.
He poured himself a cup of coffee and said seriously, “You used to be an accountant, so you should know how inefficient the previous governnt worked. A single docunt could travel to a dozen places, and unclear instructions might take days to clear up. But now, a qualified ‘zombie’ can complete all procedures in half a minute, drastically reducing the workload.”
“But have you ever thought about what those ‘zombies’ want?”
“Why don’t you go and do a survey with them?” Xien Waidao said, “Or let ask you a question, if you knew for sure that after you died you would either beco a murderous maniac or a tireless worker for the people, which one would you choose?”
“Definitely the tireless worker for the people.”
After answering, rlin felt there was sothing wrong with his own thinking.
His opponent’s question was almost identical to the current situation. Those eroded by the Shadow basically only had two paths to choose from.
Either be used by Liuzi and others or beco a crazy serial killer.
Bowing his head, he pondered Xien Waidao’s question and finally found an answer, “What if they don’t want to?”
“Ha, doesn’t that an they harbor the thought of becoming a murderous maniac? Such folks should be brought here for re-education sooner rather than later, what are you waiting for?”
rlin held his head, experiencing for the first ti the horror of logic.
This also made him realize that he was only a little clever, far from a truly smart person.
After going over Xien Waidao’s logic thoroughly, he had to admit that the other party was right.
Nevertheless, he still earnestly said, “I admit you have a point, but my moral sense tells there is sothing wrong here.”
“You’d think there’s sothing wrong, considering you’ve just transitioned from a comparatively peaceful society. It’s normal for your brain not to adjust to this era. But don’t worry, reality will beat so sense into you. Since you can’t die anyway, a few beatings will mature you.”
Handing over a docunt to rlin, Xien Waidao said, “Here is a map. We’ve discovered that multiple worlds have twisted together due to earlier turmoil, so I hope you can go to different areas, make contact with different people, and then strive to unite them. This is not an ordinary task, and it can be fatal at any mont, but considering your special constitution, I think you are well-suited for this job.”
Tearing open the envelope, rlin looked over the information and nodded, “Indeed.”
“And before, you never told us your answer—where does your money co from?”
Scratching his head, rlin felt it wasn’t really a secret anymore.
“The source of money here is quite simple, just emotions. Intense emotions can be turned into currency, a rule set by the New Celestial Honors. Because of this rule, the emotional fluctuations of all people can be turned into currency each day, and working can earn additional currency.”
“I see. So what emotion yields the most currency?”
“Joy. Happy emotions are the easiest way to earn currency, which is why the New Celestial Honors have established stable planets where people can happily thrive in peace and earn money.”
