The man fell into deep thought. He is now thinking about a very important question.

The right to issue money in this world...... In whose hands is it in the end?

Yulia's heart is to save money for Yuki to change her adult prosthetic, which shows that the concept of money still exists in this era.

But when he learned about the "genetic tax", he only felt weird.

The genetic tax is a tax levied by the lord on the inhabitants. They take a number of people from a colony each year to fill the human gene pool and ensure human genetic diversity. Yuki had an older brother who was taken away in this way.

In addition to this, residents do not need to bear more taxes.

In other words, the "government" [regardless of the form of government in which it exists] does not need money to carry out social public construction and meet social public needs.

So, in this era, who is issuing money? What is the role of money?

What is the reason for the existence of this "gene pool"? Why did the lord build this thing?

It's just that these doubts have never been answered. Yulia works all day and only stops in front of Yuki's hut late at night. Last time, she came back to see it because she heard that Yuki had picked up someone. The man was embarrassed to disturb the industrious woman's rest. And most of the others just take his question as a joke and let out an unknown "hahaha".

Now, he only discusses this with the boy when he is out picking up trash with Yuki.

"It's so hard, Yog......" the little boy leaned back in a chair covered with lead-green mold. He had just pulled the chair out of the garbage. During the Sublimation War, it may have belonged to a senior staff officer: "What else is above the lord...... It seems that no one has ever asked a similar question......"

"There must be a level above the lord. Otherwise, they don't have to follow something called the 'Dyson Principle'. The man mused, "What exactly is the 'Dyson Principle'?" Who came up with it? A guy called Dyson? ”

- What does this man have to do with the real owner of the name "Yog"?

Yuki shrugged: "I really don't know, it seems that the Dyson principle does not allow us to kill...... That's it? ”

"Primitive." The man without lungs simulated the sound of a "sigh" with a sounder. In his mind, the name "Dyson" is more associated with an engineering concept called "Dyson sphere". No matter how bad it is, it has to be linked to physics.

"Let's talk about the Paralympics." Yuki shook his head: "'Yog', do you remember?" You're an athlete, right? ”

The Paralympic Games are the world's highest event. According to men's understanding, this should be called the "Paralympic Olympic Games", and then there is a corresponding event called the "Olympic Games". It's just that in men's memory, the level of the "Paralympics" is far higher than that of the "Olympics". The rules of the "Olympics" are very rigid, and they do not even allow the use of genetically modified technology to breed super racing horses in equestrian events, nor do they allow doping on horses. In short, the level of competition is average.

After the rise of artificial prosthetic technology, the Paralympic Games became a scene like a fight between gods. It can even be said that the Paralympic Games were the stage for countries and enterprises to show their technical level at that time.

When an Olympian competes against a Paralympic athlete, it's like a table tennis player from another country competing on the same stage with a table tennis player from a snooker empire.

The day when the Paralympic Games surpassed the Olympic Games is also considered a turning point in human history.

I don't know why, when recalling all this, the man actually has a faint sense of pride.

- Am I ...... The world's first para-athlete to surpass the world record of ordinary people?

Yuki swore that he had never heard of the Olympics, and that there was only a Paralympic Games in the world – only the Paralympic Games. This is the world's largest competitive event, where dozens or hundreds of martial artists of different genres compete on the same stage.

And this competition will also be literal, so that all the defeated participants will temporarily lose some of their functions. [Paralympic Paralympic, a combination of the words "paralyze" and "Olympic]

This topic was brought up when the man asked Yuki about "martial arts". According to Yuki, all the martial artists and athletes now have made a name for themselves through the Paralympic Games and become human beings.

This news gave the man a little comfort - it seems that he is "reborn and washed the stream" instead of "crossing the stream", and it is indeed the "future" of his own world, not a "parallel world".

Yuki really wants the man to be an athlete. But men always feel that they should not be this kind of person. There was a voice in his head shouting "no" – this was definitely not true martial arts.

According to Yuki's description, the only thing that was displayed at the Paralympic Games was "outer martial arts". It is true that foreign boxing can be practiced invincible, but ......

- "If you don't practice martial arts, you will end up empty."

This sentence inexplicably wandered in the man's consciousness.

When a man thinks of this, he doesn't know why he wants to laugh. Part of his consciousness tells him that the so-called "internal strength" is a fictional concept in fantasy fiction. But the other part of his consciousness told him that someone had really created "internal strength", which was different from the "internal strength" in literary and artistic works, but ...... But......

Every time a man thinks of this, he feels that there seems to be something wrong with his artificial eyeball.

Inexplicable.

However, this feeling also makes men doubt one thing.

Will the so-called "creator of internal strength" have anything to do with him?

- Who was I in the past?

Men can only sigh like this. Could he be the descendant of a great man?

However, according to Yuki, in this world, in addition to athletes, there is also a kind of person who also masters "martial arts".

They are called "chivalrous", and they are the thugs who wield this force. They believe in an evil god called "Mo Zhai", and use an ancient thug named "Aaron Swartz" as a spiritual mentor to disturb the peace, disrupt order, and are the enemy of human civilization.

"Oh no." The man thought so: "According to the plot routine of amnesia, I seem to ...... Is it possible that this is such a dangerous person? ”

"Alright, get some rest." Yuki drank a large portion of the last bottle of Copper Candy, then picked up the man's head, found a small hole in the upper jaw, and poured the remaining vial of Copper Candy into it. Yuki's body is less than 50% mechanized, mainly concentrated on the hands and feet, and can also absorb and transport metallic sugars through biological tissues. But that's all men can eat now.

"Let's go find some parts and try to get you a foot this month!" Yuki shouted happily. His feelings for men are quite complicated. At the beginning, he really wanted to have a father, but I don't know why, in the process of getting along, he had a little bit of "pet" affection for men.

The man nodded and followed. He secretly made up his mind that he must make a pair of feet sooner and then stay away from Yulia's mother and son.

It's not ingratitude, it's not that I'm afraid of Enoch's simplicity. He only suddenly realizes that his mysterious background has the potential to bring danger to Yuki's mother and son.

It is very likely that he is a "chivalrous man", and since the "chivalrous" is called the "enemy of human civilization", he must not have a very good reputation on the official side.

However, no matter how urgent you are to save parts, it still depends on luck.

More than ten days have passed, and the man and Yuki have only barely managed to save up a component that controls the motherboard and two transmission bearings of large machinery [this can be used to make the "leg bone" of the thigh].

Fortunately, there is a skill that does not die anywhere. Soon, many people in the town saw men replacing parts for themselves. After the news spread, occasionally someone commissioned a man to do some simple repairs.

I don't know why, the man's repair skills are really good. Except for a very small number of devices with damaged control chips, or the current pair of old prosthetic hands that cannot meet the repair requirements, so far, there is basically nothing that he can't repair.

It also earned him some pay.

A month later, he finally saved up a little savings.

For this little savings, Yulia once had the idea of "saving". According to her opinion, all this money should be prepared for Yuki's coming-of-age rites. The man was picked up by Yuki in the garbage, and the money he earned rightfully went to Yuki. Yuki has no plans for this. He has been paid for the process of scavenging, and the money he earns should be men's. He was almost arguing with his mother about it.

The result of a quarrel with a large construction machine is mostly catastrophic - the speaker is really loud and consumes power. The man stops the two from arguing and assures Yulia that once she is in good health, she will definitely earn more money to repay the kindness of saving her life.

So, after a few days, the man was finally able to stand up.

For this body, Yuki has only one evaluation - "so ugly".

The man now has a head, and below the head is a small cervical vertebrae, which is supported by a metal brace. Underneath this silver stand is a beam, straight, with two prosthetic hands at either end of the beam, which are gracefully streamlined shells. Underneath the beam, there is a vertical steel column with two spherical joints under the steel column. Underneath the ball joints are the thighs cut by the propeller shaft.

To put it simply, the man's head is now a funny style, his hands are a beautiful sketch style, and then the skeleton of his whole body is a stickman style - there is also a realistic painting battery hanging on it.

The mayor of the town commented that it was "not practical". In his opinion, it is a great waste for a man to choose to use solid steel columns as the raw material for his thighs. This consumes a lot of energy when moving, and the Achilles tendon of the calf is also equipped with a brace of unknown significance, as a structure for "lifting heavy objects", which is really unqualified.

The man just smiled at this, well, a simulated polite laugh, to be exact.

The mayor doesn't understand this "etiquette", he just thinks it's weird. He patted the man on the shoulder and said, "But it's good to have hands and feet." The big man who collects the genetic tax will be coming soon, and if you don't have hands and feet, you may arouse unnecessary interest, which is not good. ”

For the townspeople, the "big lord" is a role of life and death.
