Chapter 684 doesn't need to be pure
"Why didn't you tell me this in the first place?" asked Gao Li.
"Because I don't know what era you're from, I don't know what you think of us. I haven't left Earth, I'm still there. Waiting for the return of those who have explored the universe, we want to tell them everything that has happened in this world. And guess what? They use us as tools to open up new worlds, and even suspect that we killed their countrymen. You see, we only need True Qi to survive, so what's the point for us if we kill them?" said Elro.
Gao Li nodded and said, "I seem to suddenly understand why both the celestials and you are so keen to transform this world. ”
"Because the fear of losing our home is something that is etched into our genes. Al Ruo said.
Gao Li really didn't expect that the story here would be so complicated. In fact, Alruo is saying it lightly, but in fact, there must be a lot of twists and turns in the story. Gao Li didn't ask in detail, and Erruo didn't elaborate, knowing that this was enough.
It turns out that all this turned out to be a human civil war.
It's hilarious.
It's really hilarious.
There have never been any monsters, no alien invasions, everything is tossed by humans themselves.
No, it should be said that everything is tossed out by the tyrant.
"So, what are you going to do now?" asked Gao Li.
"I don't have any plans. My compatriots have already gone to explore the extraterrestrial planet, and they may become the strongest race in the universe without any food or resources. I don't have any burdens, so it doesn't matter what the future holds for me. Do you remember, I was originally a self-destructive personality, and now I can maintain such a positive and optimistic attitude. What else do you expect from me?"
Looking at Erruo's appearance, Gao Li could only smile. yes, what else can you expect?
"You were born in a world where resources are already poor, would you be interested in showing me what you think the world was like?" asked Gao Li.
"Would your world be kinder to me?" asked Irro, rhetorically.
"If you go to my country, you will, but as for other countries, not necessarily. Gao Li said.
"The concept of the state was a thing of the past in my time, but people are still different ethnic groups. So, I can understand the concept of the state. Al Ruo said.
"Give me a hand, help me get home, I want to bring my friends home. Gao Li said.
"Is that all?" asked Elro.
"Huh, can you see my conspiracy in my eyes?" Gao Li asked with a smile.
"Huh, you still have a conspiracy?" said Elro, too.
"Well, let's be honest, I actually have a plan. Gao Li cleared his throat, "I plan, if possible, to directly open up the two worlds and let the two worlds complete substantial synchronization." Of course, the entrance will be opened in my country. ”
"What's the benefit of that?" asked Elro.
"My country has a lot of people, but there is a shortage of food. And there are large tracts of arable land in this world that have not been developed, and we can lease the land of this world to my country. Gao Li said.
"Are you a patriot?" asked Elro.
"That's right. Gao Li held his head high forty-five degrees.
"I've seen some historical sources where people are always mocking patriots. Al Ruo said.
"Well, I know a lot of people like this, and I can understand why these people have such thoughts, everyone has their own aspirations. Gao Li said with a smile.
"But there's a huge problem with your plans. Al Ruo said.
"Yes, I know. Gao Li suddenly grinned.
"You ......" Al Ruo wanted to ask something, but he was suddenly stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "If you want to open up two worlds, if you want to implement your plan, the emperor in front of you will inevitably become your biggest obstacle." From the very beginning, you have always said that you don't want to be an emperor, and it is troublesome to be an emperor......"
Gao Li smiled: "Yes, it's very troublesome to be an emperor, and I really don't want to be an emperor, I haven't lied from beginning to end." ”
Al Ruo said: "But for the sake of your ideal, if you don't want to be it, you have to be right, right?" ”
Gao Li said: "At first, I really didn't think so, but now that things have developed to this point, I have no way out." ”
"I don't believe it. ”
Gao Li smiled: "I don't know what our emperor's plan is, but it's obvious that this emperor is controlling the whole world in his own hands little by little through his own way. Maybe people just want to make the world a better place. ”
Or maybe it's a world where only humans are themselves. Al Ruo said.
"Well, it's not my business. "Gao Li Dao.
Erruo stared at Gao Li and suddenly asked, "How much benefit can your patriotism bring you?"
Gao Li laughed out loud and said, "Many, many benefits. ”
Al Ruo asked, "Then is your patriotism still pure?"
Gao Li said: "I'll tell you a story." ”
"Our world, my country, in ancient times, there was a country called Lu country. Lu stipulated that if someone saw a slave of Lu in a foreign country and spent money to redeem him, Lu would pay all the money spent by that person and give a bounty. And there was a man named Zigong who ransomed a lot of slaves, but did not go to the state to ask for money. Everyone praised him for his noble character, as a true patriot, and for saving money for the country. But his teacher scolded him severely, you say, why is that?" asked Gao Li.
Al Ruo thought for a moment, then smiled, and said: "Because he has brought a cost to patriotism, if others redeem slaves and go to the state to ask for money, it is very likely that they will be labeled as unpatriotic." ”
Gao Li smiled: "That's it. But in fact, to be patriotic is to be patriotic. Patriotism does not conflict with the acquisition of benefits, as long as this interest is reasonable and legitimate. If you don't harm your own country, your interests will make it easier for people to be patriotic. Moreover, to be honest, the basic motive of ordinary people to love the country is self-interest. The state makes things easier for people, and people make the country stronger in various ways, which in itself is a virtuous circle, and there is no shame in emphasizing benefits. ”
Er Ruo listened to Gao Li's words, with a smile on her face, and waited until Gao Li finished speaking, and then she said slowly: "Two worlds, the first time I have seen you like this, you can talk about interests so lightly. ”
Gao Li said: "Because there is no original sin in the benefit itself, the way to obtain the benefit is." ”
