Chapter 165 Brilliant Flowers, Rotting Roots

【applaud】

On the live stream chat, whenever such words appear, they receive an extremely high number of likes.

Because so many parents can relate to this.

Various invisible vampires have all set their foul mouths on their children.

From small things like specifying the purchase of a school uniform to large things like allowing the distorting of teaching materials for profit.

The list goes on and on.

In the past, people were powerless and had no hope of speaking out. They wanted to use planetary laws to oppose it, but the cost was too high, so they were afraid to even consider it.

Now that the Holy King has gathered the voices of the people on one point, what is there that cannot be broken!

Perhaps the idea of ​​"re-deifying the gods" is a fantasy for many, but the idea of ​​"changing the teachings" is so real and truly aligns with the original starting point of every ordinary person.

At this moment, people whose minds were deeply impacted began to realize that the changes brought about by the Holy King were not as illusory as the Investiture of the Gods in mythology, but rather a human-centered approach that belonged to the human world.

Green Pepper wasn't there for applause. Seeing the chaotic barrage of comments on his phone, he tapped the screen to calm things down before speaking:

"Let's stop here for now and make changes immediately. Afterwards, I will point out the shortcomings of the changes together with everyone."

It's clearly riddled with flaws, so don't be afraid to make changes.

If I correct it well, it will benefit the present and future generations; if I don't, everyone will criticize me, and I'm not afraid of being criticized.

And listen up, friends who are gazing at the stars, I'm going back to Doraemon now.

Tomorrow, let's turn to the same channel. I'll be discussing some of the shortcomings there and further exploring some ingrained perceptions.

After the live TV broadcast ended, Qingjiao and Xia went back to the high slope.

They were also looking at the distant ice city.

Xia said to Qingjiao, "I just realized today that you're a strange person. You seem very ambitious, but after thinking about it carefully, you don't seem ambitious at all."

Green Pepper crossed her arms and smiled faintly, "My greatest ambition is to spend forever with the one I love in a peaceful place."

What?

Xia tilted her head and looked at him, puzzled. This was clearly the easiest thing to achieve.

"You'll understand, everyone has their own destiny."

Perhaps countless people envy Green Pepper's status, but who among them would consider how luxurious it truly is to live a simple, ordinary life under the sway of fate? Green Pepper didn't want to discuss such distressing matters, and then continued:

"The troops I borrowed were used to attack Yaowangxing."

However, conquering the uncivilized regions of the entire galaxy cannot always be done by borrowing troops.

I need the mechs and starships of this planet to gradually expand my strength.

How long will it take for Yaowangxing to recover its previous fighting strength?

If it were yesterday, Xia would definitely have been annoyed by his request.

But today's talk of "teaching" made him realize that the use of young peppers in military operations is unlike anything he has done before.

So he was still very supportive. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Six months, I guess."

"Six months?"

Let's do this: convert all unnecessary production lines to restore combat capability. This will take at most three months, no more.

As for the six months you mentioned, you should use those six months to improve a mech like the Future.

"Green Pepper said, resting his chin on his hand."

The first requirement can be barely met, but the second...

Xia was a little confused. "You want to mass-produce the kind of mechs that are like the Future, which are integrated with the divine machine?"

There aren't that many gods...

As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something, but he just couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Green Pepper chimed in, "Yes, that's exactly what you think."

I want you to improve that machine so that it no longer uses a divine brain.

Yuzu mentioned here that once your computers reach a certain level of intelligence, they will support soul attachment.

Therefore, I want you to hurry up and upgrade the equipment to produce a batch of Future Ships that can be imbued with spirits.

At that time, more and more true gods of the human world will be guided out, and they will be able to possess the souls of these mechs and go on expeditions to the stars with me.

Otherwise, the true gods on earth are all mortals with no combat power; your large mechs alone wouldn't amount to much.

After hearing this, Xia's eyes flashed with an unusual light, it was hard to tell whether it was shock or astonishment.

After a long silence, he finally said in a low voice, "So, is this why you called me here again today?"

By the time he finished speaking after remaining silent, Green Pepper had already stood in front of him, carrying the wreckage of the Future.

Green Pepper tossed the remains on the ground. "Before they rust, have someone collect the nearby fragments as well."

We only have this one prototype; we mustn't let it die out.

I can't wait to re-examine it.

Xia didn't know why, but after listening to Qingjiao's words today, he felt that Qingjiao had an invisible charm that made him listen to her.

He nodded, feeling like he hadn't thought it through...

The next day, on the planet Doraemon.

The live TV broadcast of Green Pepper started as scheduled.

It was more lively than yesterday, with many people in suits and ties sitting around, mostly high-class men from various districts.

Right off the bat, Green Pepper got straight to the point without a single wasted word.

This surprised the male prostitutes, as they had a rather elaborate opening procedure.

What's more, this involves people from two different planets watching online simultaneously.

The casual, conversational behavior of the young teachers directly lowered their supposedly high-class and authoritative "tabletop".

They were angry but dared not speak out.

However, they did not realize that what Green Pepper did this time was actually sending a signal: Green Pepper had a different definition of "male escort".

A few days later, these prostitutes will be stripped bare, and they won't even have the right to be angry anymore.

Green Pepper immediately pointed out a problem: when he went to Yaowangxing, he saw that the city night view there was very prosperous.

Listen carefully, it's prosperity, not flourishing.

Prosperity is evident under the neon lights, inside and outside the shops, where people come and go not only the so-called wealthy, but also the so-called lower class.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about why it's so lively.

The fundamental reason is that the working hours are very regular, and everyone there has plenty of free time to do what they want.

So, in response to this question, I asked myself, why do people here work such long hours?

Why is it that on this seemingly bustling night, only the wealthy and leisurely come and go? Where are the lowly people who do dirty and tiring work and toil for the world?

Or is it that they simply don't have time to go out except for work?

After this question was raised, the live stream chat immediately became lively.

People have a lot to say about this, since most people are unable to go out.

On the surface, the reason why the streets are bustling with people at night is because those people are able to "come and go".

If people can't move around freely, who can tell they haven't gone out?

People who can't go out, who has nothing better to do, and who has the ability to issue a public announcement letting the world know they don't have time?

So it gives people the illusion that everyone can "come and go".

It's like asking someone on the street: "Are you happy?"

The people you interviewed have the means to be happy going out, do you even need to ask?

Those you can't reach are struggling to make a living in the nooks and crannies.

The same principle applies: when you scroll through your WeChat Moments, all you see are pictures of delicious food, travel, and so on, making the world seem wonderful.

But behind every post on social media, how many people aren't working tirelessly behind the scenes?

Isn't it just to show off "I'm living a very comfortable life"?

Even more tragically, most people have never posted this kind of thing on their WeChat Moments!

Could it be that "most people" don't like to show off their skin?

No, it's just that "most people" don't have time; their daily struggles seem endless.

Everyone cares about their image; who would want to show off a less flattering side of themselves?

Therefore, everyone has the same illusion that they are all at ease, and only a few people are not at ease.

The typical flower blooms brightly in the sunlight, while its roots rot in the soil; you can see the brilliance but not the decay.

This is why the demands of the underprivileged cannot be met. Those who can speak out are not from the underprivileged; how would they know what 'poverty' looks like?

In response, Green Pepper waved his hand, indicating that "you guys on the screen" would speak later, and that the high-ranking officials present should say a few words first.
