0028 Seeking longevity, what should you do after longevity
When the Flower Cultivator spread the news that the blood clan from another world can make people immortal, and confirmed it under the attention of the world, Blue Star soon set off a wave of public opinion to discuss immortality and obtain immortality.
For modern people, as long as they don't have to suck blood after becoming a vampire, they are not controlled by the "previous generation", and they are not afraid of garlic, sunlight, and silver weapons, then it is not unacceptable to be able to have children again.
But when the long-cherished immortality of human beings was really placed in front of everyone, many people of insight threw out the same question, that is, what do you want to do after obtaining immortality.
At first glance, it sounds like a very simple question, gaining a life ten times longer than it is now, of course...... Of course, you can do whatever you want, needless to say!
However, if you think about it seriously and concretely, many people are horrified to find that even if they can live for a thousand or 10,000 years, what they have to do and what they can do is probably no different from what they do now.
Because people have to eat, even if they become vampires, they have to eat, so they have to earn money to support themselves.
Originally, they could retire after thirty or forty years of work, and then they could live for another twenty or thirty years, or even thirty or forty years, plus they also played leisurely for more than 20 years when they were students, and they also took vacations during work, and they could also travel, and in general, they still had more time for leisure and entertainment.
But a thousand years of life...... Are they going to work for nine hundred and fifty years or more? Repeating a monotonous task of gritting one's teeth and persevering just to make ends meet for nine hundred and fifty years?
No kidding! That kind of long work with almost no end in sight is like Sisyphus suffering endless punishment in hell! Every day you have to push a big heavy rock up a very steep hill and watch it roll back down the mountain!
Changing jobs every once in a while?
Unless they are continuing to work in a new job similar to their original job, or just doing odd jobs, what do they need to apply for jobs that require specialized skills, need to be retrained and learned, and need to slowly build up qualifications again? Do you have to start all over again!
What's more, they are very skeptical that there will be so many different jobs for them to do then! There are college graduates every year, and if these old guys dominate their positions and never retire, it is very doubtful whether young people have enough jobs, not to mention those who have done enough of their original jobs and want to change to a new environment and experience new fun!
When many practical problems were put on the table, most people, except for the patients and the elderly, who were not far from death, hesitated in the face of immortality that seemed to be within reach.
For ordinary people, a short life is already so difficult, so why live forever?
This is exactly what the many forces that guide public opinion behind the scenes want to see, since ancient times, the most enthusiastic about immortality are those who are rich and powerful, and they don't have to worry about not having a job to do, or even if they don't work for the rest of their lives.
If the people who work for them are willing to work honestly all their lives, they don't mind letting the people get cheap longevity, but overcrowding is the most likely situation of instability, and if those people are unwilling to work and die, they will also be very difficult.
"Colonel! That one...... There's something I want to tell you. ”
In another world, Chu Xuan, who had been cooperating with the first batch of linguistics experts to enter the other world in recent days, had just stepped up the compilation of a concise dictionary of the lingua franca of the other world, and his capable assistant Xiao Dong cautiously came over.
Chu Xuan, who was about to go back to the room to rest, saw Xiao Dong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and took the initiative to take her to his room, and asked in a very calm voice:
"What's the matter?"
"Yes...... Princess Alicias's affair. ”
Xiao Dong and the other humans of Blue Star are still not allowed to use the abbreviation of "Ellie", and can only call Princess Alicias her full name, but she is not angry because of this, but cares about this princess Lori who is only ten years old with virtue:
"These days, Alicias doesn't do anything but eat and sleep, watch movies, watch animations, and nothing else.
If it goes on like this, I'm worried about her ......"
Probably Xiao Dong felt that he was "soft-spoken", and it was impossible for the princess who despised human beings to listen to her seriously, so he told Chu Xuan about his worries.
However, Chu Xuan and Alicias were originally in a relationship of heart and death, and he knew better than Xiao Dong what Alicias had been doing these days, but he didn't have the same worry as Xiao Dong at all.
"Wouldn't that be better?
She can stay at the castle to eat, drink and be merry all the time, and we don't have to worry about her safety.
Moreover, the pace of life in this world is originally so slow, especially for long-lived races whose lifespan is more than ten times that of humans and whose survival pressure is smaller than that of humans.
They can waste a lot of time on what they like to do, and when they get bored, they will naturally study, cultivate, or fight.
Ordinary blood clans still have to work every day, but nobles like her only need to handle government affairs, train soldiers, and focus on improving their personal strength. ”
"But, but when is she going to play......
"In the past, it was enough for her to play for a year and a half, but this time she will play for at least ten or twenty years."
"Ten, ten or twenty years?!"
Chu Xuan was like a roundworm in Alicias's stomach, clear about her every thought. The stunned Xiao Dong heard it right, Princess Alicias really wants to play for more than ten or twenty years, after all, there are too many movies, TV, novels, anime and games created by the Blue Star humans, and new ones are always coming out, even if she only picks the essence to watch, it is estimated that she will have to watch it for so long.
She didn't expect that the Blue Star people, who had a short history of 5,000 years and lived in a world without any magic, would be able to create so much entertainment content!
Where magic is lacking, in their world, it is clearly called a "barren land"! Even crops and livestock don't grow well!
"Chu-Xuan ——!"
Xiao Dong, who had nothing to say, was silently thinking about how to persuade Senior Colonel Chu Xuan so that Princess Alicias, who shared his memories, could do a little more "business", and not waste time just because the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan was said to be able to immortalize immortality, Princess Alicias suddenly swept behind her like a gust of wind, and then wrapped around Colonel Chu Xuan's upper body like an octopus, grabbed his head and bit it down fiercely.
"Click, click, click......"
The sound of sharp canine teeth moving the skull made Xiao Dong's scalp tingle, but Chu Xuan, who was expressionless, seemed to be accustomed to it, and motionless let Alicias vent his anger that didn't know where it came from.
