Chapter 251 Main Quest

"What do people live for?"

"How should a man live?"

These are all clichés.

It can even be said that this kind of topic is no more than "where I came from and where am I going?" "There are fewer people to discuss.

Countless great men or philistines have discussed, discussed, and even verified with their life experiences.

Barry is certainly no exception.

In my previous life, although I was poor and didn't have much entertainment, I was able to spare a little time to read some books, after all, this is the most cost-effective way to entertain.

Of course, most of the books he reads are pirated, the kind of goods that cost five yuan a pound on the stall.

However, although the book is pirated, the precious ideas of the creator contained in it cannot be faked, and they are all the true meaning of life.

As an absolute classic that has inspired generations, Barry has also read the divine book "How Steel is Made" several times.

Especially the line that is the motto of countless people, he remembered it in his heart, and it was absolutely impossible to forget.

"The most precious thing in man is life, and life belongs to man only once. A person's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction. ”

But as you can see, Barry only remembers the previous sentence, and as for the later struggle for the liberation of all mankind, he felt that the goal was too big for him to achieve.

But just the previous sentence, how many people can achieve it, anyway, Barry didn't achieve it in his previous life, although he really wanted to live this life.

But the pressure of life is too great, even if he hasn't walked out of school yet, he is still crushed by life.

Every day is just living for the sake of living, without a little dream, without any waves, just so ordinary and ordinary.

He sometimes fantasizes that the world is extraordinary, and there are unknown secrets in ordinary life.

Ghosts, monsters, superpowers, martial arts masters, or alien visitors... He wished that these things could happen around him.

This is definitely not the so-called Ye Gong Haolong, this is just the deepest expectation in the hearts of people who are tired of the ordinary life like stagnant water, looking forward to breaking this unchanged life.

For most people, when they are born, they can already see their entire life trajectory.

Going to school, graduating, working, marrying a wife, taking out a loan to buy a house, having children, retiring, hospital, wall.

And then his son, his grandson, is still following this same path, maybe the school is different, maybe the company is different, but there can only be a little change.

Barry once saw a joke about a reporter interviewing a sheep herder in a remote mountainous area.

"The sheep herding baby is to make money, to earn money is to marry a wife, to marry a wife is to have a child, to have a child is to let him herd sheep..."

It's a joke, but most people still do the same thing as herding sheep, but they don't know it.

Of course, it is also possible that I understand, but I am powerless to break this cycle, so I deliberately pretend not to see it.

But Barry was lucky, and luckily he had a chance to cross.

Of course, if there is only time travel, then he may perform a drama of a financial tycoon and a strong rise in this world, leaving a legend in this world for a hundred years.

Maybe when he becomes a billionaire, he may buy a cruise ship, buy a luxury car, feast every day, and model the catwalk every day, but this is still a lack of spirit.

Although such a person thinks he is extraordinary, he has no effect, and he cannot even be regarded as a big part of the social machine, because there are too many people who can replace him.

Maybe when he has money, he will invest in inventions, copy various products based on various experiences in his previous life, and become what everyone calls a genius.

Donate money to charity, become the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty in everyone's mouth, engage in education, develop medical treatment, and be a moral benchmark for meritorious service, so that the world will remember him for a thousand years and become a saint within a thousand years.

Of course, these are much better than being a rich man with a lack of spirit, after all, he can benefit the society, and when he can chat with his offspring, he will have more topics to talk about, and he will be able to gain more adoring eyes from his children and grandchildren.

This kind of person is already a very large part of the social machine, not something that ordinary people can replace, and although the society can still operate without him, it will certainly not be as perfect as it was when he had him.

But is that enough?

Perhaps as a person, to be able to have such a life is definitely enough for most people.

"Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for."

However, Barry is more fortunate to travel through a world that is not an ordinary world, but a world with extraordinary powers.

If you ask, "What is the biggest difference between a world that has an extraordinary world and a world that doesn't?" ”

Barry can tell you very clearly: "The difference is not in power, not in absence, not in enjoyment, nor in the pleasure of being shown in front of men." ”

"The biggest difference between the two worlds is whether you have to be a part of society."

That's right, in a world where there is no otherworld, whether you are a billionaire or the king of a country, the role you play in society is a part, nothing more than a different division of labor.

No one can live alone in this kind of society, whether it is the necessities of firewood, rice, oil and salt, or the loneliness of being away from the race, you cannot leave the society, and you must maintain the interpersonal relationships in the society.

But in the transcendent world, the weak aside, they must also be parts of society.

But the real powerhouses, they are no longer parts, they themselves are a real, complete, and can operate alone.

For them, there is no need to be wronged, in order to cater to the society to change themselves, in turn it should be other people in the society, to cater to them, with their will to build society.

Here is one of the best examples, the so-called world wars.

In Barry's previous life, the world experienced two world wars, both of which were fought for resources and reshuffled the power of various countries. Regardless of the top

We will not talk about the specific analysis, but only the final results.

In the end, the reason for ending the war was that everyone didn't want to fight, because the people at the bottom couldn't bear it.

The country's resources and the country's heritage are gone, and if you continue to fight, you will really be in danger of losing the country, and you and other people around you will die.

So no matter what the upper echelons thought and tried to fight to the death, no one listened to them anymore, and in the end they could only surrender.

And how did the Dawn of this world begin, and how did the chaotic war of the countries of the Dark Age end?

Is it because of the power of the people, because countries don't want to fight, they don't want to continue to grab land and people.

Of course not, it is not the people in power who die in the war, so how can they care about the poor who die in the war.

The reason why the war ended and the dawn came was not because of the public, but because a few sages who established the Security Bureau did not want to start an army in the land, so they forcibly ended the war.

This is absolutely impossible to see in a demonless world.

There were not many sages who appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the collision of ideas was not strong, but why were the dog's brains about to be played out between countries at that time.

It is because of Confucius, Laozi, Mencius, Zhuangzi, Mozi, they do not have the power to make a decision.

If Mencius's heroic spirit can break away thousands of armies, if Mozi's love and non-attack can make ten thousand people unarm, if Lao Tzu's Tao can evolve Tai Chi and suppress the earth, water, fire and wind.

Then the world would have ushered in peace long ago.

This is the world with extraordinary power, the strong have the power to use their own hearts, on behalf of the heavenly heart, so that the world can run according to their own ideas.

I have said so much before, just to prove that with the transcendent world, people who have attained extraordinary power are more able to realize the value of their lives.

Because he doesn't need to compromise for the sake of life, and he doesn't have to live by the grain.

And Barry has obtained the system, obtained extraordinary powers, and naturally wants to realize the value of his life.

So what is Barry's life worth?

It's certainly not money, it's not power, it's not the satisfaction of all people worshipping, although he also likes to appear before people.

When he first crossed over, he was confused, and when he first came into contact with the extraordinary, he was full of a sense of crisis in his heart, wanting to become stronger quickly, and he was wary of everything.

But when Barry learns that Huck can solve all the problems, Barry suddenly feels that everything is boring, after all, Martin's ability is too strong.

But when he heard Huck say that it didn't work with its wooden token and that he couldn't find a helper, Barry first thought of backing down, because it meant he had to take the risk on his own.

But soon he thought that he didn't know that Martin had encountered all the troubles before, and he was still a man with a plug-in.

You can't rely on others for everything, and you should also find a main quest yourself, so that your life will be more meaningful.

"I should go and live the life I love, instead of feeling like everything is meaningless at home."

What Barry likes the most.

What he likes most is to get in touch with new things, to keep adventuring, to find all kinds of strange experiences that he couldn't think about in his previous life.

"I've found Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother, and Jesus can't stop me when he comes."
