81. Take the quote out of context - excerpt from "Don't take it out of context"
The Van Lenkov Autonomous State is not a region, but a self-governing state, with an entire artificial planet the size of three-quarters the size of an azure star, which makes it easy for regions to divide and congregate.
Later, after a large number of players poured into it, there was no way to achieve rectification, and in turn they were assimilated by the local people, and they made a fortune by digging for scrap and collecting the blood of Nakis.
The funny thing is that this situation has finally become a kind of ecology, where members of high-level civilizations come here to make an appointment to mine by the way, and the garbage left behind is like a whale falling, being robbed and fought by everyone, and the wealth brought by this kind of battle to the lower civilization is even more effective than direct assistance.
With the continuous exchange of fire, the Van Lenkov fortress was damaged, the output power decreased, and the fragile ecological environment of Van Lenkov gradually deteriorated, and in order to compete for the market for the blood of Nakis, the warlords and mercenaries even took the initiative to pay for the maintenance, so that the Van Lenkov Autonomous State was maintained in an environment between autumn and winter for a long time.
Yesterday of autumn was summer, and yesterday of summer was spring.
The Van Lenkovs walked forward, and they were greeted neither by winter nor by spring.
When they lie in a ruined bunker in the Van Lenkov war zone on a winterless night, munching on protein vitamin C bars and clutching their laser rifles without dust caps, they are reminded of Kalmetz's order to pay out to the elderly and their families who have died in battle.
Who would have thought that it would be their last spring.
For players, no matter how they choose, it will eventually lead to this trend.
In a sense, it's even a good ending.
At least under the interference of the Interstellar Alliance and the three-way game of narrative-level civilizations, Van Lenkov was not directly bombed and blocked, allowing the narrative level to monopolize resources, and even Van Lenkov was not extinct because of this.
But is that how it should be? Who knows.
It can only be said that the magical world view of "Xingyuan" should be matched with the plot of magical realism.
Li Ao went through the plot and planned his own route by the way.
He stood up, stepped into the ripples of time and space, and walked directly through the door of his office, even though it was late at night, and Van Lenkov's supreme leader, Kalmetz Coat, was still working overtime.
In order to save money, he even withdrew his security to another place, and it was very easy for Li Oz to blend in.
Li Oz looked inside the room, and could see that Calmec's finances had completely collapsed, he couldn't even get the money to repair the office, the ceiling was full of cracks, and the leader's office was decorated with nothing except an old laser pistol for self-defense, which was extremely shabby.
Such an environment gives Li Oz room to play.
He stood silently and looked at Calmec.
This tall xenomorph looked like a half-dragon with gorilla arms, with crimson scales and handsome coral horns, and the muscles of his body were incomparably swollen and exploded, like a mountain.
It's just that his pale hair and wrinkles on his face are also quite conspicuous, and even his aura has declined to the point where it is not much stronger than the gamma level of mortals. But his sharp eyes are telling the comer: although his strength has fallen with age, his body and spirit are still tough.
However, such a large man who was nearly three meters tall shrunk behind the office chair at the moment, grovelled, and begged to a certain head of state on the other end of the communication with a pleasant face:
“…… This loan is really important, we can't live without it, a large number of children will starve to death from it - what? Debt, you say? Rest assured, our debt situation is not hopeless, narrative civilizations say so, as long as science teaches. For the sake of our old friendships......"
Calm's sad face can be felt even by people of different races. The air in the office was filled with a bitter and sad smell.
Li Oz didn't rush to make a move, he turned on the recording function of the forum and began to adjust the lens.
The communicator lit up the projection, and a purple-skinned fungal creature was looking helplessly at Kalmetz, and he persuaded:
"Leader Kalmetz, for the sake of your friendship with me, I will tell you the truth: you are a good soldier who can fight well, but you know nothing about economics and politics, and your country is on the verge of collapse. With such a huge debt crisis, you can only ask the Interstellar Alliance to help you carry out bankruptcy liquidation and restructure the credit system. ”
"Your Majesty King Gallert, you are right. But you don't know, Verazzi will take advantage of the situation, and my people will be treated like slaves at the mercy of corporations and chaebols! ”
"Slaves are well fed." King Goret said bitterly: "What you have to do is to quickly apply for the intervention of a narrative-level civilization, declare bankruptcy, and revive the economy." ”
"You know that." Kalmetz said heavily: "Our assets are only military services and soldiers. ”
"Yes." "You can mortgage a soldier to a foreign country for their use to pay off the debt, and that's a service," Gorlett said. If necessary, I suggest that you allow their personal rights and their rights to life and health to be mortgaged as well......"
"But isn't that the equivalent of a slave trade?"
Calmec said angrily:
"The Van Lenkov Autonomous State is a group of slave warriors who have broken away from the Nakis aliens, and our warriors will never lose their freedom again under any circumstances, never!"

"How can freedom be important, Kalmetz, my words are a little vulgar, but you have to understand that you don't have the strength and ability to run a huge free city-state, slavery is the most suitable for your social culture and production level, and your blind pursuit of equality will only make your citizens not even slaves."
King Gorrett is a fungal creature, he doesn't lie, he goes straight to the point, and makes Kalmetz speechless, and his already red skin becomes even more blushing.
"You're a nice guy, Kalmetz, I can find a way to get you out of Van Lenkov with your family-"
"I won't lend you money, thank you for your kindness!" Calmec's tone was angry and cold. "No one can separate me from my people, and I will always stand with them."
"Not all of you are as proud as you are, saints who can fill their bellies with their will and faith alone."
Gorrett sighed,
"You think you're with them, but they're with you? The power and wealth you enjoy will not disappear because of your frugality, but will only make those around you feel that 'struggle cannot be enjoyed'. You are not a good ruler, take a good rest, think about it, and now you can make a good name by retreating from the rapids. ”
With that, Gorett withdrew from the communication.
Calmec collapsed in his chair, he covered his face, and a strong sense of frustration knocked him to the ground.
"Am I really wrong?"
"I just want everyone to live a free life, and what a cost our ancestors spent to get rid of slavery. Do you want to go backwards now? ”
"Although life is a little harder now, as long as I wait for the new ship to return and come back with the seven million ammonium, and then import some cheap food from Gorert, I can stabilize the prices."
"The slave trade? Such a choice is too difficult for me to accept. ”
[Recording completed]
Li Oz recorded enough footage, adjusted his posture, and took out Jenya from the space-time fault.
