Chapter 111: The Origin of the Star Lords

"Are you wondering if there are so many types and styles of cards today, and they can't meet the needs of the war? I can give you one definitive answer – no! Not to mention the needs of the war, it really can't even meet the minimum configuration of half of the innate card masters! ”

"Fantasy cards are the basis for human beings to grasp great power, but for the entire vast human territory, the number of cards is far from meeting the needs of human beings, you also know that even quantitative universal cards can not be drawn uncontrollably, a general card has a time limit when it is made, such as the most common one-star universal card, the number that can be drawn every day is only about hundreds, the higher the level, the lower the number of draws, At the seven-star level, even if you can only draw one at a time, you have to calculate it in the unit of time, which is the limitation of Gensokyo's law and cannot be avoided. ”

"Do you know how many universal cards there are in this world? The most recently updated value in the Federation's card database is 33,760 items, which is still the number accumulated over a thousand years, of which low-level cards account for more than half, don't think that this is a lot, the minimum population of a star field is more than 100 billion, in comparison, this is simply pitiful.

Maybe you may understand it better to put it another way, now the average number of cards that can be drawn every day is about seven million, according to the average of 500 minors who can awaken and manifest talents, a person is at least equipped with three cards to calculate, you can know the comparison at will - the cards drawn every day can't even catch up with the number of awakened card masters!

How many soon-to-be-awakened Kamaster apprentices are there in the entire vast human territory every day? How many of the dozens of star fields under human rule increase their demand for cards every day? After a little understanding of these problems, you should have a concept in your heart~

Moreover, don't forget the most important thing, the card master is not only innate, after the acquired card master once again shared the rare card resources, it is already a luxury to want to have one for everyone, but not every place has a large number of cards for sale, and many planets that have nothing to do with the card industry do not even have card stores. ”

At this point, Keller in the video pauses his tirade and takes a sip of juice to moisten his throat.

Qingyin, who listened patiently, frowned and asked, "I really haven't thought of what you said, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with my problem, right?" Where does the demand come from? Even if you awaken your talent, you won't die without cards, right? ”

"No, it doesn't matter, you wonder why humans are so crazy about chasing the power of cards and even doing something without a lower limit since humans have been able to dominate the universe with existing cards, right? In fact, the answer is very simple, it is nothing more than human greed. ”

"You mean ······"

"It is precisely because of the rarity of cards that it brings great profit value and lures people to develop by unscrupulous means, after all, it is not strange for human beings to do anything for profit; If there is something more appealing than profit, it is power and power, and cards are directly linked to power, and at the same time can bring power; ”

"Power? Are you referring to social status and the right to speak? ”

"No, it's real power!"

"How is this possible?"

"Let me tell you this, originally the Federation ruled the entire human universe, and there will be no second regime in the center of this interstellar realm, but since the discovery of alien civilizations, the pace of human development of the universe must be taken in the invasion and contention, with the increasing number of enemies, the pressure of the federal government is increasing, and it is gradually unable to rely on its own strength to control the situation, in this case, in order to mobilize the strength of all mankind and arouse the enthusiasm of mankind, the Federation officially promulgated a new set of laws, that is, the "Interstellar Territory Partition Law".

"This set of laws stipulates that any person who develops or occupies a planet or territory that is not under the jurisdiction of the Federation in his or her own name outside the human universe can report to the Federation and obtain independent dominion and legislative power on the planet for more than two hundred years, which can be extended by contribution to the Federation, and can even be possessed and passed on for life; Theoretically, the planet occupied by individuals is still under the jurisdiction of the Federation, but in fact, it is private territory, and the person who occupies the planet is the legitimate Emperor of the Earth, and these people are collectively known as the Star Lords! ”

"Star Lord! They actually have their own regime! I always thought they were just administrators of the Federation, ······ I see, then everything makes sense. ”

Qingyin suddenly realized, and the doubts in his heart were explained.

It turns out that the unscrupulous research and development of cards is just to get benefits and power, and it has nothing to do with the general righteousness, which is really simple and cruel.

"Now you get the idea, right? If you want to occupy a planet suitable for colonization in the Outlands, you must need enough power to plunder from the aliens, and cards are the source of power! It's an opportunity to change your fate!

The vast majority of people cannot refuse the temptation of profit, and even if there are really people who can not care about the interests of money, it is difficult to resist the desire for power! Who doesn't want to be a man above 10,000 people, controlling their life and death with a gesture?

It is with this set of laws that careerists, big families, outlaws······ Countless people have been put into the extraterritorial battlefield one after another, making the human territory expand wildly again, and at the same time, the emergence of a large number of interstellar lords has also relieved the pressure of the Federation, and the latecomers are endless, and the human territory continues to expand endlessly······ In such a crazy cycle situation, the value of cards will never decrease, and the demand for cards for human beings will only get higher and higher·······

High demand, low supply, this is the reason why fantasy cards have become the first priority of human development! ”

"All you mind is the federal authorities' laissez-faire for the improper development of cards, but in fact, the current situation is already strictly regulated, after all, the world is so big, no matter how strong the federation is, it can't control it, and with a lot of considerations, some dirty things can only be vaguely handled; And you have to know one thing, even within the federation there are many factions, and the attitude of most people is much tougher and more dangerous than the current faction in power, if it is now a hardliner in power, I am afraid that some things are not explicitly forbidden to be ambiguous, but actively participate in and vigorously promote. Then again, can you tell me what exactly is it that led you to these thoughts? ”

In the end, Keller asked half-casually and half-seriously, Qingyin pondered for a moment, and then explained selectively: "It is the biochemical transformation of the human body. Recently, I looked at the card library and found that the biochemical cards in it didn't look like a card system made up out of thin air, and when I saw the humanoid biochemical cards in it, I guessed ······"

Keller squinted his eyes and looked at him with a slight smile, as if he could see that Qingyin was hiding something, but he didn't care, but waved his hand and said easily: "It turned out to be just this." ”

Seeing his relaxed posture, Qingyin's eyelids couldn't help twitching a few times, and he was a little speechless: "It's just?" ”

Keller looked at him meaningfully, and teased faintly: "Kind young man~, compared to the real cruelty of this world, this is just a harmless thing~"

Qingyin's face darkened a little again, and he asked with an ugly face, "Is there anything more filthy and dark than this?" ”

"If you can't accept this, then I really can't bear to tell you more."

“······”

"Just kidding, don't be angry~, you see your eyes are so big~, but seriously, there are some things that have nothing to do with the present, there is no need to know, it will only add to the burden, if you know one day, I also hope you can treat it rationally, we can't change the world, at least we can change ourselves in accordance with the world, remember my words, people just need to do what they can do."

Do what you can? Speaking of which, there's a lot I can do!

Qingyin narrowed her eyes slightly, not responding to his admonition exactly, but the seed called rebellion had been planted in her heart.

"It's late, do you have any other questions? If not, I'm going to sleep~"

In the video, Keller stretches and yawns, looking sleepy.

Qingyin didn't let him go, and said with a wicked smile: "It's not like a young man to go to bed so early~, in fact, I have other questions I want to ask the dean to you, since I've been talking to you for so long, I'll ask you to solve your doubts, please don't refuse." ”

Keller: "Uh~······"

··················

In the dead of night, after ending a two-hour video call with Keller, Qingyin still didn't feel sleepy, sitting in front of the bed with a portable computer, swiping his fingers across the screen, looking at the slightly terrifying monster images.

He was browsing through the Federation's official card library, looking at the humanoid biochemical series of cards.

The glimmer of light shone on his calm face, refracting a mysterious and cold complex look from his pupils.

"Federal ······"

In the quiet room, there was a faint and imperceptible chirp······

···········
