After noticing the abnormality, both Xia Xuan and the system fell silent.

This silence lasted for a full minute, and Xia Xuan took the lead in asking, "System, why did your emotions suddenly become so big. ”

Xia Xuan didn't ask why the system suddenly had feelings, because after nearly a year of getting along, he had already realized that the system was not completely emotionless. It's that the feelings are very weak, and if you don't pay attention to observation, you can't find it at all.

Xia Xuan has seen only one emotion in the system so far, and that is doubt. The system is puzzled by various behaviors that violate the survival instinct of human beings, such as the first time they encountered a night attack, the system was puzzled by the group of people who could fight for their lives for the sake of others.

And this time the emotion generated by the system is anger, to be precise, hatred does not make steel. The system's emotions this time are bigger than before, and you don't even need to look closely to detect the anger contained in the system's voice.

The system begins to wonder if it is malfunctioning.

"Don't know?" Xia Xuan touched his chin, and he believed the words of the system. I don't know why, with the continuous improvement of his strength, Xia Xuan gradually formed a concept in his heart, anyone in this world can betray him, but only the system will not.

His position with the system has always been the same, and his will is the will of the system.

"System, what do you desire now, or repeat what you just hoped for, what you hated."

[The system hates that the host has been living for the expectations of others; The system hates that the host has been living for civilization; The system hates the host for pouring all its love into its own people; 】

Without any hesitation, the system repeated what had just been said again. Only this time the voice was no longer full of emotional fluctuations as before, but returned to its usual calm.

[The system hopes that the host can live for himself this time, the system hopes that the host can be selfish this time, and the system hopes that the host will love Daxia this time and love himself as well. 】

Always? Can you live for yourself this time? This time?

Xia Xuan immediately caught the key words in the system's discourse, he obviously just crossed over, why did the system use it all the time? This time?

"What does the system mean all the time? And this time, isn't it the first time I've crossed over? Xia Xuan asked.

[The system is not clear, but the system suddenly has this concept vaguely. It feels like the host has been pouring all his love into Great Xia like it is now. 】

"Always like this?" Xia Xuan fell into deep thought.

Thoughts raced, and all sorts of speculations came to the mind of the spin.

Isn't it the first time I've crossed over? Have you been pouring all your love into Great Xia like now? In other words, the seven or eight traversers in the history of Great Xia are not some seniors, but me?!

Xia Zu, Xia Shi Huang, Xia Dedi, Xia Zhengdi, Xia Huodi, Xia Gongdi, Xia Wen Emperor, these great emperors are all me? Even the empress is me?!

No, no, how could I be a woman, that must not be a traverser.

If the above conclusions are true, does that mean that I have actually traveled to this world since Xia Zu. And then when my current body dies, I will travel to the body of my own offspring hundreds of years from now?

Wait, that's not right, historically, the knowledge of each traverser is different. In addition, I didn't think that my knowledge could start the industrial revolution and invent gunpowder, and I didn't even know how to make paper.

The previous emperors, with my knowledge and vision beyond that era, I may have been able to do what they did, but in the latter it was beyond my own limits.

The conclusion that every traverser is me is obviously not valid, not to mention the empress. It was simply the manufacture of black powder and the production of various artillery pieces by Emperor Xia Huo, and he would not know it himself. And especially when Emperor Xia Gong was even more terrifying, he directly started the industrial revolution.

Xia Xuan thought of all kinds of possibilities, among which each traverser was himself and the system made mistakes, the two most likely.

But combined with various circumstances and their own abilities, it is obviously impossible for each traverser to be himself. Xia Xuanxin had a forced number, knowing that he had a few catties and taels. The achievements of those great emperors have completely exceeded their knowledge and ability.

At this time, Xia Xuan's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he thought of a possibility. This possibility, if connected with each traverser is himself, then it makes sense, why he can achieve achievements that are completely beyond his ability.

If the system wasn't born at the time of the body, but from the beginning, that might explain why I was able to accomplish things that were beyond my own capabilities.

It doesn't seem right, the function of the system is to open the portal. And if there was a system that could open the portal to the other world to seize various technologies at the beginning, Great Xia would have already unified the world.

My lifespan has reached more than 300 years now, and if there was a system in the Xia Zu period, I shouldn't have died of old age?

Everything has once again reached a dead end, and the previous assumptions have collapsed again.

"System, do you say that every traverser is me?"

Xia Xuan said his conjecture, rather than pondering it alone, it is better to ask the system first.

[The system does not know]

"So the system, when were you born?"

[The system does not know when it was born, and after the host activates the system, the system has a trace of consciousness. 】

As the host continues to complete the task, the consciousness of the system becomes clearer and clearer, until finally it has complete intelligence. 】

"That system, I've always poured my love into Great Xia, could this feeling be your delusion?" Xia Xuan gave another guess.

[It may be that there is an error in the system]

Due to the previous mood swings, the system suspects that something is wrong. It obviously doesn't have any feelings, but it can have the emotion of anger, which is obviously abnormal.

"Perhaps," Xia Xuan planned not to dwell on this issue anymore, now they didn't have any evidence or clues that each traverser was himself. Relying on some feelings of the system and one's own guesses, it is obviously impossible to come up with an answer.

Rather than continuing to dwell on this issue and wasting time, Xia Xuan was more interested in that new skill.

[True Self] (Active): Unknown.

"What is the effect of this real-self skill of the system? Also, I didn't complete the task, and I didn't have the task reward for my real skills, could it be that this skill was also borrowed from the dice of fate? Xia Xuan looked at the skill panel in his mind and asked.

[Self-skills are not made systematically, but are inherent in themselves. The specific effect system of the skill is not clear, the system just knows the meaning of its existence, that is, to let the host recognize who it is? 】

Hearing this explanation of the system, Xia Xuan suddenly felt that the possibility of guessing that every traverser in front of him was himself increased.

If the previous time travel will fuse the memories of the original body, this skill is indeed needed.

In fact, Xia Xuan is very aware of his state, and now his strength has reached the level of a great magician, and his strength is still the top handful of people. But even with this level of spiritual power fused with the memories of the original body, Xia Xuan couldn't tell who he was.

But fortunately, this influence has become weaker and weaker over time, and by today, he has basically gotten rid of the influence brought to him by his original body.

Anyone who has the spiritual power of a great mage will be affected by the memories of the original body, let alone ordinary people.

Looking at the real-self skills in the system's skill panel, Xia Xuan decided to use them.

[Real] use.

Xia Xuan just clicked on it, and the next moment the scene in front of him changed, and the office was shattered inch by inch. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to a mysterious and colorful space.

The mystical space seems to be boundless, with countless colors intertwined, some in the form of swirls and some in the form of rectangular...... At the same time, bubbles floated around Xia Xuan, these bubbles were large and small, the small ones were only the size of a fist, and the big ones were dozens of meters high.

And inside each bubble there is a picture constantly circulating.

Before Xia Xuan could react, all the bubbles began to flow. Some of the bubbles began to move sharply towards him, encircling him.

Xia Xuan fixed his eyes and saw the picture inside these bubbles clearly.

Computers, mobile phones, apartments, high-rise buildings, cars, roads, and familiar relatives and friends from previous lives.

What appeared in these bubbles, all kinds of pictures were Xia Xuan's memories before he had not yet crossed them. In particular, the images that appeared in the big bubble made him remember them vividly, and he still remembers some of the pictures.

"Is this my memory?" Xia Xuan stretched out his hand and poked at the head-sized bubble in front of him, which was from his junior high school graduation dinner.

Syllable!

The next moment, all the bubbles around him exploded at the same time. Immediately afterwards, pictures flashed in Xia Xuan's mind, there were things he remembered, and things he had long forgotten.

These memories flashed before his eyes like a marquee, giving him a feeling of walking through his life all over again.

I don't know how long it took, Xia Xuan's dull eyes began to focus, and his consciousness was detached from the mysterious space.

At this time, the real-self memory in the system panel changed.

[True Self] (Active): Go back to the past, see the true self, and the remaining number of times is 9 times.

Cooldown: 23 hours in 29 days

Xia Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Things seem to be getting more and more complicated. ”

………………

Early morning of the second day, the city of water.

With the continuous improvement of road construction, the water capital became an important hub of the transportation network of the Eastern Xia Empire, and more than 100,000 tons of minerals passed through here every day.

At the same time, because of the beautiful environment of the water capital and its proximity to the post-zero base of the Eastern Xia Empire, thousands of soldiers on vacation choose to come here to rest every day. Because of this, tourism in the land of water has become more prosperous.

In particular, these soldiers of the Eastern Xia Empire were rich in the eyes of the hawkers, merchants, and shopkeepers in the water capital. Each of them carried the banknotes of the Eastern Xia Empire, which could be bought in their shop. The most important thing is that these soldiers of the Eastern Xia Empire do not regard the current equivalent of gold as money at all, and spend it lavishly, and they are distressed when they look at it.

This does not blame the soldiers of the Eastern Xia Empire for spending lavishly, on the contrary, the soldiers feel that it is still too cheap no matter how they spend here. A soldier of the Eastern Xia Empire, eating, drinking, and having fun in the City of Water for a day only adds up to 10 Xia Yuan. 10 Xia Yuan is just the price of a meal in China, and it is not cheap to be able to eat and drink all day here?

Not to mention the soldiers who participated in the development program, not counting various subsidies and bonuses, the daily wage alone reached 100 summer yuan. With such cheap consumption, coupled with a rare holiday that doesn't necessarily come once a month, the soldiers are sure to have a good time.

This was one of the benefits of industrial colonization, and the Eastern Xia Empire would have to pay a negligible price in exchange for the incalculably large resources of the Ten Kingdoms.

For example, the minimum wage in the Eastern Xia Empire was 800 yuan per month, that is, workers had to be paid at least 26.66 summer yuan a day. And the people of the Ten Kingdoms, the Eastern Xia Empire only needs to pay them one Xia Yuan per day. This translates to the minimum wage of only one Bactrian worker, recruiting 26 able-bodied laborers.

This situation will become even more obvious when the Eastern Xia Empire gradually disintegrates the metal currency system of the Ten Kingdoms and replaces it with the otherworldly Xia Yuan printed by the Eastern Xia Empire itself.

This is an unequal transaction, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is exploitation if it is placed on Yunxing. But for the people of the ten countries, who have been suffering from famine for many years and have been under the attack of various monsters, they only need to work for one day in exchange for their family's rations for ten days, and even save a little spare money. In the past, they didn't even dare to think about it, and it was good to be able to fill their stomachs every day.

Jingle Bell Jingle Bell!

The sirens placed on the gates by the Ministry of Mineral Mining of the Water City sounded, and the silence of the Water City was broken by the loud ringing of bells, and all the inhabitants woke up from their sleep.

A moment later, a resident of the Water City, wearing a yellow hard hat and a blue overalls, walked out of his house. After saying hello to nearby workers, they walked towards the east gate.

"Dad, come back early!" A little boy of seven or eight years old stood in the doorway and shouted to his father, who had just walked out.

Hearing the voice, the boy's father turned around, waved his hand at the little boy, and smiled.

"Kefu, let's go, otherwise I'll be trained by the foreman if I'm late." Said the companion next to him.

"Hmm," the boy's father turned to keep up with his co-workers.

"Hey, I heard that the Empire is planning to send someone to teach us knowledge." A brown-haired man said.

His words instantly attracted the attention of other workers, who asked one after another.

"Teach us knowledge? Xia Wen? A worker said.

His words instantly lit up everyone's eyes, and now for all the people of the Ten Kingdoms, it was equivalent to the words used by superior people. As long as you know a few words of Xia language, or Xia Wen, then your status in the eyes of others will instantly rise, just like an upper-class person.

The main reasons for this phenomenon are, first, the strength and weakness of the Eastern Xia Empire, and second, the upper class of the Ten Kingdoms began to be proud of knowing a few words of Xia language, and a few words of plastic Xia language popped out from time to time.

So a strange perception appeared in the Ten Kingdoms, saying Xia is equal to the upper class, and not speaking Xia is equal to Tubaozi. As this strange perception spread, even some stubborn upper-class people had to learn a few words of Xia to save face.

"If that's the case, then I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity, and when I learn to visit my neighbors, I'll say a summer phrase to shock them."

"I heard from the manager that not only will he teach Xia Wen, but he will also select the best workers to teach them how to drive an excavator."

Wow!

"Is this true?!"

"Civilians like us can also drive excavators?!"

After becoming a worker of the Eastern Xia Empire and seeing the power of those steel monsters, everyone dreamed that they would one day be able to drive these steel monsters.

The strong should drive an excavator!

The news that the Eastern Xia Empire was going to teach the worker Xia Wen and select the best workers to become excavator drivers quickly swept through the Water Capital.

Upon receiving this news, all the workers of the Water Capital made up their minds. In the next job, I have to put in 200% effort, and I must become a man who drives an excavator.

In this way, a fierce competition began, and everyone worked hard to become the man who drove the excavator.

Among the workers of these water cities are quite a few adventurers, who once fought monsters with sharp blades in their hands. Because of the compulsion of life, they changed the armor on their bodies to blue overalls, and replaced the weapons in their hands with various digging tools, and they joined the infrastructure of the Eastern Xia Empire.

With the strong physique that the adventurers have trained in the past to fight monsters, most of them have become glorious foremen.

This is the current situation of the vast majority of adventurers in the Ten Kingdoms, and in this society that does not require their adventurers to clean up monsters. There are only two kinds of people who can mix well, and an adventurer with silver strength or above joins the Eastern Xia Empire and becomes an excellent teacher of combat skills. The second type of magician is also to join the Eastern Xia Empire and become an excellent magic teacher.

Of course, if you have the strength of a great mage or a gold medal adventurer, the Eastern Xia Empire will give him more generous treatment.

The Temple of Law is located in the center of the Water City.

King of the Human Kingdom of Grassland, Glassland III and the Holy Maiden of the Sword sit in the gazebo of the garden.

Glasland III put two bottles of Coke on the stone table, then picked up one of the bottles, twisted the cap of the bottle and handed it to the Sword Saint and said: "This is the drink of the Eastern Xia Empire that has been popular among the nobles recently, called Coke, I specially brought it to you to taste." ”

"The shape of this drink is really peculiar," the Sword Maiden took a bottle of Coke and took a sip of it.

"The taste is also very peculiar, and it tastes surprisingly good."

Glassland III smiled and said, "I was unaccustomed to it when I first started drinking it, but after drinking a few bottles, I gradually became addicted. ”

Next, Glaslan III and the Saintess of the Sword began to chat, reminiscing about those adventurous days.

"Now that the Chaos side has been completely resolved by the Eastern Xia Empire, this war that has lasted for tens of thousands of years has finally ended, and the world has returned to peace." Glaslan III reached out and touched the sword that accompanied him from birth to death at his waist.

"Back then, I was naïve enough to think about ending this battle with this sword of my own, but I didn't expect that in the end, we would disband without even seeing the Demon God King."

"Well, now that the world is calm again, everyone is starting to move towards happiness."

The Holy Maiden of the Sword nodded and said, "Indeed, I can feel that the people of the Water City are getting happier and happier. ”

"Let everyone live a stable and happy life, this is the ideal of our team, but ......," Glassland III continued pointedly.

"It's just that some people don't want to see this world getting better and better."

"......" The Saintess of the Sword paused, not answering, he knew what this former teammate was talking about.

As if not seeing her strangeness, Glassland III continued: "I will not allow anyone to spoil this peace that has so come so hard. But some people are blinded by the glory of the past, just like those new adventurers who go hunting goblins, and are so arrogant that they don't know whether to live or die. ”

Hearing the three words of the goblin, the sword saintess's heart jumped suddenly, and her body trembled twice.

"The Holy Maiden of the Sword," Glaslan III turned his head to look deeply at the Holy Maiden of the Sword, "I have lost too many of my companions, and I don't want to see them die again." ”

Graslan III got up and tidied up, turned his back to the Holy Maiden of the Sword and said, "Due to the cults and underground monsters that have sprung up everywhere in the Ten Kingdoms, the Empire can no longer tolerate the existence of the Church. After a while, the Empire should come with a message, and I hope that you accept that the Empire's demands are merely doctrinal, not life-important. ”

With that, Glasland III left the garden in a brisk manner.

In the afternoon, the five major churches all received orders from the Eastern Xia Empire to acquire and change their doctrines. This time the Empire no longer disguised giving direct orders for the Church to choose.

Among them, the Church of the Goddess of Knowledge does not have any objection to the approval of both hands and feet. Under the direction of the Goddess of Knowledge, all the magicians who now support the Church of the Goddess have joined the Eastern Xia Empire. The Church of the Supreme God was the second church to agree to the request of the Eastern Xia Empire, although many high-level members of the high-level church were opposed, but they were suppressed by the Holy Maiden of the Sword.

When the other three churches tried to fight to the death as a way to show their faith, the Most High God and the other three goddesses sent down their revelations. The remaining three churches did not resist anymore and agreed to the demands of the Eastern Xia Empire.

Although the 4 goddesses are not crazy with the goddess of knowledge, after all, it is too dangerous to give up the god position. But recently, the dice of fate have been constantly shooting and violating the rules of the game, which has made the four goddesses feel a sense of crisis. They begin to find a way out for themselves, in case the dice of fate come at them one day in defiance of the rules of the game.

………

Slash the world of red pupils, the imperial capital, the fashion laboratory.

Dr. Fashion sat in a pink chair, looked at the test subject squatting in front of him, and asked, "You mean, you discovered the base of the Night Raid?" ”

"Hmm!" The subject nodded repeatedly, "I was looking for a suitable dangerous species on the outskirts of the imperial capital as usual, and suddenly I saw a suspicious person walking through the forest 1 kilometer away. ”

"So I sneaked up on it, and when I finally got to a hillside, the suspicious figure suddenly disappeared."

"I was very puzzled at the time, the figure just got behind a big tree and suddenly disappeared. So I started looking around, and in the middle of my search, I stumbled upon a wooden house in the forest. ”

"Through the window, my subordinates saw that the cabin was full of members of the night raid."

After the subject's eye report was completed, the subject with a large red nose asked, "Doctor, did we inform General Estes?" ”

"Hmm......" Dr. Fashion was lost in thought, he was now hesitating to inform General Estes. If General Estes is notified, then he will not be able to get members of the Night Raid to conduct human experiments.

And going alone, I didn't seem to be able to fight the night attack.

Half a minute later, the fashion doctor suddenly stood up from his chair, pinched an orchid finger, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Relying on your own strength to fight for what you want is a quality that a fashionable man should have." ”

After speaking, Dr. Fashion raised his hand and stroked his cheek, looking intoxicated.

"Ah~ In order to get what he wants, the most fashionable man in the imperial capital is not afraid of hardships and faces the night raid of the notorious killer organization alone. It's just so stylish! I am indeed the hippest man in the Empire! ”

This is the reason why Dr. Fashion did not notify the special security forces, but went directly alone to encircle and suppress the night attack.

Again, because Dr. Fashion thinks it's fashionable.

Hearing this, the surrounding test subjects looked at Dr. Fashion with adoring eyes.

"Worthy of a doctor!"

"The Doctor is indeed the most fashionable man in the Empire!"

"Doctor, doctor!"

Dr. Fashion waved his hand in high spirits and said, "The Fashion Legion is ready to fight, release all the test subjects, and tomorrow we will go and capture the Night Raid, and I will make this group of notorious killers fashionable." ”

"Yes, Doctor!"

"Get ready for the Empire's most fashionable men in the Night Raid." Dr. Fashion smiled.

However, it was not the night attack that greeted him tomorrow, but the net of the Eastern Xia Empire. Fashion Doctor will get tomorrow, a day trip to the happy white house of the Eastern Xia Empire.
