Chapter 2427: Race up and down the survival line
"It's not worth it. Bai Chen replied bluntly.
This is not a hundred Heavenly Crystals, nor a million Heavenly Crystals, but ten billion Heavenly Crystals.
This price code could make Bai Chen refuse anyone's help, so Bai Chen also unceremoniously rejected Xiyi's request.
"Really?"
"I hope you still borrow money with substantial collateral, can't the huge Shanmian clan even take out some assets?"
"Haven't you heard of the Shanmian Clan?" Xiyi asked as he looked at Bai Chen.
"Haven't you heard, is your race famous?"
"Although the Shanmian tribe is not the weakest race in the northern continent, it is definitely the poorest race. ”
"You don't look weak. ”
"If I am not weak, it does not mean that the Shan Mian tribe is not weak, in fact, over the years, I have always supported the entire tribe, otherwise, there may be no Shan Mian tribe now. ”
"Why is that?" Bai Chen asked.
Xiyi's body suddenly began to change, and finally turned into a mess of silk linen, which was twisted into a ball, scattering the other party together.
"That's who I am. ”
"What do you want to express?" Bai Chen looked at Xiyi puzzled.
"The Shan Mian tribe is also in my form, and they can't change their form. ”
"Getting to the point. ”
"Because of the physical form of the Shan Mian people, there is no human form or animal form, so we are excluded by most races, and the demand for a living environment is high, we need a cold, high-altitude living environment, so we have almost no industry to make a living. ”
"I'm sorry, a deal is a deal, and although I sympathize with you, I can't borrow money from you. ”
Xiyi returned to his human form, a look of disappointment on his face.
"Really, can't?"
"How many people are there in the Shanmian tribe?"
"Twenty million people. ”
"This is obviously very unreasonable, in the case of not strong survivability, and there is no corresponding living conditions, there can still be 20 million people, I can only say, you are overprotective of the race, and you are too worried about it, the survival of a race, depends on the efforts of the entire race, not the efforts of one or two people, you can help them fight against nature, but don't help them fight against the rules. ”
"What do you mean?"
"If they encounter a natural disaster, you can help them get through, but if they encounter an existential crisis, you must let go appropriately, a race that is so difficult to survive, even if you can delay the speed of the extinction of this race, it will not last forever. ”
"You're leaving me to stand by and watch my own race?"
"Of course not, let me put it this way, if you have a pair of mountain rabbits as pets, you know the mountain rabbits, right? It is a small animal that reproduces very fast, but has almost no self-protection ability, and this pair of mountain rabbits gave birth to a litter of more than 20 rabbits, are you planning to keep these more than 20 little mountain rabbits?"
"More than 20 mountain rabbits, I raised them the same. ”
"Very good, the mountain rabbit basically reaches maturity in a month, and the growth period is only two weeks, more than 20 mountain rabbits, half male and half female, after a month and a half, basically you have to raise 300 birds...... Three hundred mountain rabbits, in another month and a half, will evolve into 4,000, and in another month and a half it will be 60,000...... Do you see what I mean?"
Xiyi's face was a little solemn: "You want me to let go?"
"Yes, let your people face the laws of nature, survival of the fittest, if they don't even have the most basic ability to obtain survival materials and living space, then do you still have to maintain the eternal survival of the entire race?"
"The mountain mian people are not mountain rabbits, they don't have such a strong breeding ability. ”
"The truth is the same. ”
"But in your Sky City, there are also races as weak as the Shanmian Clan. ”
"At least they can create their own wealth and get the living conditions they need in the right environment. ”
"If it's the same job, we can do it too. ”
"You can create an environment for them to survive, but you can't affect their ability to survive, if a race loses environmental competition, sooner or later it will be eliminated by the environment, you maintain the Shanmian tribe for a hundred years, I'm afraid they have long forgotten how to survive now, they will only ask for it, and sooner or later they will be dragged down by them one day." ”
"What is the point of those subsistence allowances in Sky City, aren't you also trying your best to protect them?"
"You have to understand that most of the groups targeted by welfare are old or disabled individuals, most of these people have lost their ability to work, not a certain race, in Sky City, there is also a law of the jungle, even if you see a weak race, they may be weak in hands-on ability or individual strength, but they also have their own opportunities, this opportunity is created by me, for example, the ant tribe, are their individuals weak enough? But now their number has reached billions, but they will know how to control this number, if the wealth they can create does not provide them with enough resources, or the survival pressure has affected Sky City, they will reduce the number of newborn larvae, this is also a law, the survival pressure and the number of the race will always be adjusted, can be higher or lower than a small number, but never more than too much. ”
"Should I let go?"
"If you let go a hundred years ago, you would be wise, and if you let go now, you would be cruel. ”
"But...... You said ......"
"When you cut off the hands and feet of a race, and then you tell them that you will fend for yourselves, what do you call cruelty?"
"And what the hell do you want me to do?"
Bai Chen smiled and said nothing, Xiyi was anxious, and after communicating with Bai Chen, she realized that she had indeed done something wrong, and it had been wrong for many years.
Over the years, she had never been reminded of it, and she never felt like she had done anything wrong.
Until now, Bai Chen's words made her wake up, but it was too late.
And what she needs most now is someone who can give her guidance, and this person is obviously Bai Chen.
The miraculous rise of Sky City made Xi Yi feel that Bai Chen must have a way to help his race.
"Say, what conditions do you want to propose?" Xiyi saw Bai Chen smiling and silent, and had already guessed that Bai Chen was planning to negotiate terms with him.
"You should ask yourself what conditions you can offer. ”
Xi Yi thought about it, but didn't respond for a long time: "I know one of the biggest secrets of the Hometown Society, a secret that even the Divine Alliance has to pay attention to. ”
"Tell me about it. Bai Chen said.
"No, I'm not going to say this too easily this time, you have to promise to find a way out for my people. ”
"It's hard to do. ”
"You can't help it?"
"No, it shouldn't be difficult for me to solve the problem of survival of 20 million people, even if it is a pet, I can raise it, but we are all facing the same problem now, you may have too high expectations of the information you provide, or you may not be able to meet my estimates, just like the information you provided earlier, it is difficult to coordinate this aspect. ”
"I can assure you that there are very few people who know this secret, and it will be very useful to you. ”
"So be it...... I can only make a temporary promise that I can help your people find a way out, provided that your people can accept my rules. ”
"You want to rule the Shanmian tribe?"
"What do you think of the inhabitants of Sky City, how do you rule over them?"
"Very good...... Xiyi was very reluctant to admit it, but he had to face this problem, Sky City and even the entire Sky Alliance, under the governance of this human kid in front of him, everything was so prosperous.
She also imagined that it would be nice if the Shanmian tribe could also have such a living environment.
This human boy is indeed more suitable for management and rule than himself.
"If you still rest on your laurels that a human is not qualified to rule and govern the Shan Mian Clan, then there is no need for us to continue the discussion. ”
"Well, I can accept your terms, but you must ensure that they receive the same benefits as your people. ”
"If they can do what I ask, it won't be a problem, but if your people have become a bunch of lazy pigs who can only eat and can't do things, then I may only be able to provide them with food, as for the rights...... It's not who gives it, it's what you fight for. ”
When Xi Yi heard Bai Chen's words, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about the Shanmian Clan.
After all these years, she knew all too well what her own race had become.
They have lost their fighting spirit, feel sorry for themselves, and when they encounter danger and difficulties, they will always only pray for their own protection.
And the culprit of all this is precisely himself.
Xiyi never thought that it was his excessive appearance that would cause the embarrassing situation of the Shanmian tribe today.
"Is this guarantee of mine okay?"
"Okay, I accept. "Xiyi doesn't have a lot of options.
"Then tell me what you know about the secrets of the Hometown Society. ”
"If the secret I told didn't meet your expectations, would you regret it?"
"No, but I still hope you don't lie to me. Bai Chen shrugged and said, "The more useful the information you provide, the more I will do my best to help you Shanmian clan." ”
"The Hometown will possess a secret weapon that can seal the power of the gods. Xiyi said seriously.
"Oh? And this kind of thing?"
"That's right, they call this kind of thing 'cornerstone', and this time they sent at least ten or more gods to deal with you, which shows how much they value you, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't bring out the 'cornerstone'. ”
Xiyi looked at Bai Chen seriously: "What do you think of this information?"
"Not bad. (To be continued.) )
