Meng Chao was silent for a long time.

"So, in the final analysis, everything you do is for money?"

He narrowed his eyes and asked word by word.

"Isn't the reason 'money' enough?"

Shen Yulin said, "From the earth to other worlds, from the time when humans just learned to use flames to roast the tips of spears, to when rockets weighing hundreds of tons flew into the sky, humans have waged thousands of wars. The ultimate goal, not for money?

"However, you are half right, this time, we are really not just for money.

"What we want to take away from this war, besides money, is more importantly dignity, the dignity that should belong to us, the dignity that belongs to all our extraordinary beings!"

"The... dignity of all extraordinary people?"

Meng Chao looked at Shen Yulin in confusion.

"Didn't you notice that one year after the end of the monster war, the atmosphere in Dragon City has become more and more weird, and the way many ordinary people look at us extraordinary people has become more and more subtle?"

Shen Yulin said coldly, "When the vicious monsters are still rampant in Dragon City, threatening the lives of ordinary people at all times, those ordinary people regard us extraordinary people as heroes, saviors, and omnipotent patron saints.

"They begged us tearfully, begging us to save their lives.

"Put all kinds of high hats on us, such as 'the sword of Dragon City civilization', such as 'the hope of human evolution', such as 'superheroes', forcing us to rush under the monster's bloody mouth, fangs and claws, to Fight to the death.

"Forget it, as the leaders of Dragon City civilization, we have the responsibility and the right to protect our homeland.

"But now, after countless extraordinary people have gone on and on, bloody sacrifices, madness, and extremely painful sequelae, the monsters have finally been suppressed and wiped out by us, and they no longer pose a threat to ordinary people. Go and see those monsters again. The faces of ordinary people.

"Some people have thrown out the "Affirmative Action," thinking that extraordinary people have gained too much advantage in all walks of life by virtue of their extraordinary strength, causing damage to the rights of ordinary people, involving unfair competition, and they should find ways to compensate ordinary people.

"Someone suggested that a higher tax should be levied on the extraordinary, and all the hard-earned money we earned with our heads pinned to our belts and monsters, should be thrown on strangers who have never met before.

"Some people have proposed that the proportion of ordinary people in the top management positions of various companies, institutions, and associations should be further expanded, and even proposed that we should allocate our seats in the Survival Committee according to the proportion of extraordinary people among all citizens—in other words , according to the delusion of these guys, in the survival committee, the seats of extraordinary people should not exceed 10%!

"There are also people who suggest that we should conduct comprehensive monitoring of the daily cultivation of supernatural beings, establish a cultivation ledger, do a good job of daily settlement and monthly settlement, and make it public to all citizens—including but not limited to our current state and all the skills we have mastered. Cultivation, how many crystals are consumed, where are these crystals purchased, and the cost of purchasing crystals, and what is the composition ratio.

"According to what these people plausibly say, spar is a strategic resource shared by all Longcheng citizens. Since extraordinary people need spar to cultivate stronger, of course they are obliged to actively expose all their cultivation processes to everyone's eyes. Underneath, accepting public review and inquiries, once too many crystals are consumed during cultivation, or the source of a certain crystal is unknown, this extraordinary person must pay the legal price. .

"Moreover, the hands and feet of the extraordinary are all weapons of mass destruction. Now that the war is over, how to firmly restrict such weapons of mass destruction in peacetime is something that every extraordinary must seriously think about. question.

"There are even people who suggest that the so-called work of 'establishing ledgers and closing accounts' should not only be carried out immediately, but also be traced back to the past 20 or 30 years, that is, during the monster war.

"It is necessary to find out whether anyone has taken advantage of the war to plunder resources wantonly, and secretly used the strategic resources that should belong to all citizens without going through the normal application and procurement procedures of the Transcendent Tower!

"Hehe, this is really ridiculous.

"As the order in Dragon City is further restored, all walks of life must become more open and transparent, which is something everyone can understand.

"However, cultivation has its own peculiarities. Who can say exactly how many crystals one needs to absorb to reach a higher level?

"Moreover, many cultivation methods and combat skills are the greatest wealth and secrets of an extraordinary person, how can they be easily made public?

"As for the use of training resources during the monster war, it's even more confusing.

"Yes, theoretically speaking, all the spar veins and all the monster materials found by the extraordinary people must be submitted to the extraordinary tower for registration, and then the extraordinary tower will exchange points, public auction and unified distribution, without registration The registered practice resources shall not be used without permission.

"The problem is that the battle situation is changing rapidly. Everyone is fighting monsters in the depths of the wilderness. They are all bruised and exhausted. At this time, if they find a top-quality spar or cut off a piece of flesh and blood of a fierce beast, can't they swallow it and keep it?" My own life? Is this kind of behavior called "filling one's own pocket"?

"When the water is clear, there are no fish. Extraordinary people are also human beings, and they have their own desires, interests, and standpoints. If you have to find fault with such trivial matters, who would want to step on the blade and rush to the forefront of bloody fighting?

"By the way, there is also the latest news I just received. Someone wants to throw out the "National Practice Act" on the Survival Committee. All school-age children in the city will be treated equally and free practice resources will be provided, at least first. Nine years to ensure that all people have equal opportunities to practice and awaken before they reach adulthood.

"I certainly can't say there's anything wrong with this bill, theoretically.

"The problem is, in reality, cultivation resources are limited, where do we get so many cultivation resources to supply at least millions of teenagers in the city to squander?

"Needless to say, once this bill is successfully passed, it will definitely take money, cut flesh, and bleed from our high-level transcendents and the nine major companies!

"And our right to speak will be further compressed, compressed to the extreme!

"Did you know that there is even a kind of strange talk and fallacy with ulterior motives circulating in Dragon City now, saying that 'supernatural power and modern civilization are incompatible with each other—everything in modern civilization is established on the basis of equality for everyone, And the individual differences caused by extraordinary power are getting bigger and bigger, which will only disintegrate the foundation of modern civilization, and eventually, our civilization will completely collapse. In this sense, there is not much difference between extraordinary people and monsters. Extraordinary people are monsters , is a monster in human skin'!

"Ha, it's so wonderful, if I were the king of monsters, I would clap my hands and applaud loudly after hearing such absurd talk!

"It turns out that to ordinary people, superhumans are monsters in human skin? With such a wonderful conclusion, why did no one dare to bring it up when we superhumans were required to fight monsters to the death during the monster war?" ?”

Maybe there was an element of performance in the beginning.

But at the end of Shen Yulin's speech, he really revealed his true feelings and was full of resentment.

Meng Chao was also terrified when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, the problems inside Dragon City were more serious than he imagined.

Indeed, in a world of unearthly powers and widening individual differences.

Where will human civilization go? This is a question that everyone must seriously think about.

"There is nothing new under the sun. In fact, our ancestors have already summed up our experience in eight words. It is nothing more than 'the bird is dead and the bow is hidden, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked'."

Shen Yulin continued, "In the past, the threat of monsters was like the sword of Damocles, hanging above everyone's head at all times. At that time, ordinary people needed supernatural beings, so naturally they would say all kinds of good things to us and obey them. Will care how many resources we consume.

"Now, since the monsters have been completely suppressed, to ordinary people, supernatural beings are reduced to useless things, so naturally the more we look at us, the more we don't like them.

"Just like the ancient emperors would massacre heroes after establishing a new dynasty, maybe human beings are such animals, they can only share adversity, not prosperity.

"Fortunately, unlike the heroes of ancient times, we superhumans possess absolute force, and it is impossible for people to 'cross rivers and demolish bridges, unload mills and kill donkeys'. Those guys who look at us more and more dislike us can only incite public opinion and kidnap morality. Crouching in a dark corner, just shooting cold arrows at us."

"..."

Meng Chao took a deep breath and said, "I've heard some of these strange talks, but I believe that the vast majority of ordinary citizens still trust and support extraordinary people. It's not as serious as you said, right?"

"Of course, the vast majority of ordinary citizens are still reasonable and grateful, especially those small and medium-sized investors who are willing to spend real money in the financial market to support us. Of course, we must defend their interests to the death. .”

Shen Yulin said, "The problem is that now there are many ambitious people who, in order to fight for power and profit, do not hesitate to use ordinary people to attack our nine major companies - you, as a child of the Lu family, should have a better understanding of this point than I do." Bar?"

"this……"

Meng Chao was taken aback for a moment.

"Isn't Lu Siya, the big traitor of your Lu family, the most typical example?"

Shen Yulin snorted coldly, "Obviously he was born in one of the nine major companies, but he betrayed the 'Lu family' and the 'Sky Sky Group', and went to become the CEO of Superstar Group, with the intention of 'inheriting Meng Chao's behest and always serving ordinary people'." The declaration of "war" deceived a large number of ordinary people's trust, and took the opportunity to help Chaoxing Group to make great strides and expand continuously. It seems that it has become the tenth largest enterprise in Dragon City after our nine largest enterprises, and there is a great potential for latecomers to take the lead!

"Hmph, what is 'fighting for ordinary people'? As a member of the Lu family, you should know the details of this woman better than anyone else. She is just using ordinary people to stir up trouble and fish in troubled waters to realize her ambitions!"
