Chapter 38 Resource Crisis Wutong Returns

Late at night, the moon and stars are sparse.

roof,

The melancholy man is drinking alone and watching the stars.

But drinking makes me sad, and my heart becomes even more sad...

Heaven has been in chaos these past few days.

First, Cai Tianyi added an anti-addiction system to the underworld community;

Then, Stargazing proposed increasing the basic hours of daily work and appropriately reducing some unimportant holidays;

Finally, she proposed lowering people's basic wages and shifting a large amount of resources to the scientific research department.

After these three major events, everyone in Heaven will miss me, Emperor Wutong.

The dissatisfied "fairies" directly "blow up the temple", and all kinds of complaints and accusations were like raindrops, raining on the head of the stargazer.

This also led to the fact that not many people criticized Cai Tianyi.

Although people can understand Stargazing's helplessness, otherwise her proposal would not have passed the Senate.

However, if you understand, you will understand, but it does not prevent people from stargazing. After all, their welfare benefits are damaged.

Anyway, freedom of speech in heaven, as long as you don't go too far, let alone spread rumors, the Ministry of Supervision will not come to you.

In fact, many people from the Supervision Department are secretly spying on the stars.

All kinds of messy things, big and small, happened one after another because of this. People who were depressed needed to vent, so they made a lot of noise and had a lot of fun.

These old fairies are not the masters of peace.

This has also made Stargazer increasingly busy. She has been a little upset in recent days, has trouble sleeping and eating, and her work efficiency has dropped a lot.

She originally had a lot of things to manage, but these "granddaughters" didn't care about scolding her verbally, and they were still looking for trouble for her!

So Guanxing put aside the work at hand, ignored everything, and went to the roof to drink alone.

This is the second time stargazing has been so willful.

In fact, she does not want to increase working hours, lower basic wages, and increase people's burdens.

Guanxing knew better what impact her proposal would have on her reputation. It was no exaggeration to say that there was a high possibility that she would be laid off as a result.

But she did it anyway.

There is no way, as long as a person is alive, most of the things he experiences are forced. It does not mean that you don't have to do something if you don't want to do it.

The economies of Destiny and World Snake are about to collapse. To maintain and develop such a huge organization, money is needed everywhere.

Coupled with the fact that they pay the debt to Heaven every year and invest resources in the scientific research department, it is simply a miracle that they can sustain it for so long and are still making progress. This fully shows how capable Otto and Gray Snake are.

It's really hard for these two people to persist for so long despite not doing more immoral things.

But it can't last much longer.

In order to prevent Tianming and World Snake's economy from collapsing, Guanxing had no choice but to help, but Heavenly Court was not having a hard time either.

Don't think about how rich Heaven is. The higher the welfare benefits of Heaven's members and the better the living standards of the Chinese people, the less "surplus food" and resources that Heaven has to mobilize.

Moreover, so many fusion warriors, weapons and equipment are all made with money.

It is no exaggeration to say that the value created by a hundred Honkai Beasts and a hundred years of hard work can allow a person to use a stable transition method to become a fusion warrior with extremely low side effects.

It’s really hard work on those Honkai beasts.

In addition, recently, the Heavenly Court’s “death warrior transformation experiment” and “death warrior transformation experiment to induce the awakening of stigmata” have also begun, which require a large amount of financial and material expenditures.

Tianting, which is in deficit all year round, does not have much "surplus food".

"Good evening, master, would you mind admiring the bright moon tonight with my apprentice?"

At this time, Yuexia, with a hint of worry in her eyes, went up to the roof with some food and drinks. Saying what she just said seemed to make her feel a little embarrassed.

"Sit down, don't worry about me." Staring Star said softly.

She is a person who becomes more courageous with every setback, and she will regain her "brilliance" tomorrow, otherwise, she would not be able to become Wutong's apprentice.

Only then did Xiaoyuexia put down the food and drinks, and sat obediently next to Guanxing.

Looking at his timid little apprentice, Guanxing sighed secretly. Yue Xia was fine everywhere, but he couldn't inherit her position.

Gao Xingxing, who has not yet ascended the throne, has already begun to consider matters after abdication.

Regarding the successor to the position of "Emperor of Heaven", the best candidate in Stargazer's mind is actually Otto.

However, what makes Guanxing feel regretful and disappointed is that she thinks that maybe Otto will abdicate before her and enjoy a wonderful life in advance.

Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

"Don't you have anything to say?" Stargazing, looking up at the starry sky, suddenly broke the tranquility between the two.

After coming up under the moon, he said that sentence, and then sat next to the stargazer, without saying a word, just drinking in silence.

The master takes a sip, and the apprentice follows suit.

"I don't know what to say." Yuexia scratched her cheek with her index finger, feeling a little embarrassed.

She originally wanted to say some words of comfort, but then she thought about it. The master must know more than she does. Maybe he is more open-minded than she is. So, for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Guanxing smiled softly and said, "Just say what you want to say, don't be shy, and don't have any worries."

Yuexia thought for a while and said: "That...

…I heard that the experiment of becoming a dead soldier and the experiment of inducing the awakening of the stigmata by becoming a dead soldier have already begun... Will that kind of experiment be dangerous...? "

"..."

Stargazing is a bit speechless. Can't this little apprentice see that she doesn't want to talk about work now?

Maybe...you really can't see it.

Why……

"There will definitely be some dangers, that's why we spend money." Guanxing still answered the young apprentice's question, somewhat helplessly.

Trying to minimize the risk of experiments not only costs "money" but also wastes time, but this waste is necessary.

No one has the right to put an innocent person in danger in the name of "righteousness".

Therefore, in order to reduce waste, some people who are full of evil will have some positive value.

"Can't we not do this kind of experiment?" Yuexia tightened her clothes, feeling a little unbearable.

Stargazer shook his head.

Yuexia pursed her lips and said softly: "...To defeat Honkai, human beings have sacrificed too much."

"There is no way. This kind of experiment is not only to defeat Honkai, but also for fairness, and also to give our civilization a future." Looking up at the starry sky, Stargazer said calmly, "Although this starry sky is beautiful, it is It’s also dangerous.”

Stargazing does not refer to extraterrestrial civilizations, but something more terrifying, some "natural disasters" that even gods are unable to resist and cannot escape.

For example: black holes, gamma ray bursts...

Once these "natural disasters" occur, human civilization and even the planet beneath our feet will disappear in an instant, without any ability to resist.

The so-called Honkai or gods are nothing in the face of "natural disasters".

"Fair?" Yuexia didn't understand.

"Yes, fair."

Stargazing came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and explained patiently: "The reason why these two experiments were carried out was just to further improve the other experiment - human gene completion and inducing the awakening of the stigmata.

“There is injustice everywhere in this world, but we hate injustice, so we must do our best to make up for this injustice.

"Take Xiao Lingshuang as an example and you will understand. Her talent is unimaginable by ordinary people. Her growth after only one year or even one month of practice may be something that ordinary people cannot catch up with after a lifetime of hard work.

"Is this fair?

"It's so unfair, why is her talent so much better than others?

"So, we need to improve the qualifications of all mankind. Not only do we have everyone on the same starting line, but at the very least they cannot be too far apart, which is disappointing."

Everyone has a different attitude when seeing real beggars. Some people will drive them away; some people will pretend not to see them and pass by silently; some people will be kind and give them some help within their ability... …

There is another type of person who will choose to work hard and strive to make people's lives better so that people in the future will not have to eat.

Gray Snake is the first type of people, while Otto and Stargazing are the last type of people. Their purpose seems to be the same, to make the beggar disappear, but their essence is different.

Yuexia, who is kind but not favored by stargazers, has no idea what kind of person she will become in the future under the careful guidance of such a master.

Gu Huo Guanxing took a sip of wine and asked with a smile: "Do you know why China doesn't have the so-called three major families like Tianming?"

"Why?" Yuexia asked subconsciously.

It seems that she has never heard of any unique big family in China. Although the talents of people in heaven are unique, they all have different surnames.

Guanxing stretched out his hand to rub his little apprentice's head and said with a smile: "Because my master said that only livestock pays attention to bloodline and will deliberately pursue the purity of bloodline."

"..."

Since Ji Lin's time, with the passage of time, overall, the gap between the talents of ordinary people living in China has become smaller and smaller.

This is not the result of Wutong's deliberate guidance, but something that will inevitably happen.

Talented heavenly people like Xiao Yun, Guan Xing, Lin Chaoyu, Cheng Lingshuang, etc. are basically extremely rare individuals who appear unexpectedly among ordinary people.

Although experiments related to inducing the awakening of stigmata cannot bridge the gap between the whole and the unique individual, they can at least build a bridge between this gap.

A bridge that enables ordinary people to see the hope of success through hard work.

After finishing his words, Yuexia fell into deep thought, and the surrounding atmosphere became quiet again.

Suddenly, Yuexia asked with sadness: "But, Master, can increasing the basic working hours and lowering the basic salary solve the current economic pressure in Heaven?"

"No, I can only say that temporary relief is better than nothing."

"What should we do?"

"Leave it to Lord Cangxuan to solve." Guanxing said expressionlessly, "This is a problem that she should deal with. I have helped her a lot and even helped her bear tremendous pressure. The rest will not be solved." It’s under my control.”

That being said, how is it possible to turn a blind eye while stargazing? However, she is also troubled by the shortage of resources.

Although Stargazer is said to be as resourceful as a demon, she cannot conjure it out of thin air with so many resources to make ends meet!

Even the Lawyer of Reason cannot do this kind of thing.

Economic problems cannot be solved by printing more money. Printing a lot of money will only

This can lead to currency devaluation and even inflation.

In the final analysis, the most essential problem faced by Tianting, Tianming and World Snake is the shortage of various resources.

Guanxing misses his master a little. When Wutong was still in Heaven, although he seemed to be a "hands-off shopkeeper" who didn't do any work, he could always "take out" it from time to time and from nowhere. A little bit of random rare supplies.

Although there are not many each time, they are really rare and precious, and some materials have not even been heard of for stargazing.

Guanxing once thought that the master's resources were obtained by digging the "graves" of previous civilizations and were hidden by him, but later, she gradually discovered that this did not seem to be the case.

It can be said that in the heaven, except for a few Honkai Beasts, no one has created value and wealth that can be compared with Wutong.

Of course, not working should still be criticized.

Just when the stargazing master and apprentice were feeling headaches, a vibrant and melodious voice sounded from behind them.

"Two cute little white furs, you seem to have some troubles. The great Lady Padofelis can help you solve your troubles and fulfill your wishes~"

"Meow~" the cat named Can Can agreed.

Under the moonlight,

Patrophilis, who has a pair of beautiful and charming heterochromatic "cat eyes", is like a cat, squatting behind the two of them. She seems to appear suddenly and silently, just like a sycamore tree, It can scare a person to death.

Cats walk without making any sound.

It was a little cold late at night, but Padofelis was still wearing cool clothes. It seemed that this kind of simple clothes with a hint of exotic style made it easier for her to move around.

Praise Eden.

She basically designed the styles of Thirteen Yingjie's combat uniforms.

Stargazing turned around and looked at the strange "liar" behind him in surprise.

Most people wouldn't have the ability to walk up behind her without being discovered by her, let alone someone with such ability that she didn't know.

Stargazers are very accurate at identifying people. When she first met Padofelis, she silently defined this "cat lady" as a "profiteer" who loved money.

There was a certain inexplicable temperament about Patophilis that was exactly the same as Cang Xuan's, but she looked a bit silly and seemed not as smart as Cang Xuan.

In fact, Cang Xuan also looked dull. The reason why Guan Xing thought she was smart was because he had been with her for too long and knew her too well.

Guanxing secretly became wary. The more silly this kind of beauty looks, the more deceitful she is.

"Padophilis..." Guanxing thought it sounded familiar, but couldn't remember where he had heard it before. "Why did you come here?"

Stargazing doesn't think that just a random person can help her solve the problems facing Heaven.

Padofelis saw that Stargazer seemed to be wary of her, so she smiled and said, "Oh, don't treat me like this! You are a little Stargazer, right? We are your elders, and I am your master." Friends."

Guanxing nodded secretly, yes, that's right. There are many scammers who will get close to you as soon as they come up.

"Haha, you investigated very carefully." Guanxing said with a smile, "Do you still know my master's name?"

"Of course I know, Wutong! Oh, you have to believe me, we are not bad guys!" Padofelis said absently, wagging her tail.

Her eyes were fixed on the jade bracelet on Stargazer's wrist, and her strange-colored eyes seemed to be glowing.

Seeing this, the smile on Guanxing's face became even brighter, and she decided to subdue the "cat lady" in front of her first.

No matter what ulterior motives Padofelis has in mind, Heaven can make her speak honestly.

Stargazing also really wanted to know how this little kitten knew the information about her and her master, and where it came from.

Although she didn't bring a piano, Guanxing also brought other weapons. She took out a multi-functional soul steel folding fan from her waist.

Seeing this fan, Felice's eyes brightened even more. This is a good thing! Is this a meeting gift for her? Wutong, this little apprentice is really generous!

Oh, how embarrassing this is! Where can juniors give greeting gifts to their elders?

Forget it, this is all the intention of the little stargazer, so let’s accept it reluctantly.

Padofelis had a wonderful idea.

Seeing her master's actions, Yuexia understood what she was doing and used her blood to condense two axes that were bigger than her.

Yuexia, who was holding a pair of blood-colored axes, struck Patophilis with an ax while she was still thinking about beautiful things. Yuexia's speed was like a bullet being fired, leaving no afterimage.

"Why?"

The unexpected attack and the palpitating smell of blood made the hair all over Felice's body explode.

Padu just wanted to get out, but at some point, her body was entangled by circles of "wind blades". She glanced at the folding fan in Stargazer's hand and felt paralyzed.

It seems that this meeting gift is not available.

As for another unusual "meeting gift", she was reluctant to accept it.

Although she was very reluctant to take action, Patophilis had no choice but to take out a dagger and withstand Yue Xia's blow.

Padu was knocked away, and she just wanted to escape, but in the air, she was pulled back by a bunch of wind blades. What greeted her was a charged axe, and an even harder axe.

Padu looked quite embarrassed. Those sharp wind blades not only restricted her movements, but

He also attacked her at the same time.

"Wutong! Help!" The oncoming blood ax made Pado swallow his saliva and let out an embarrassing cry for help.

In the stargazing boudoir,

Wutong and Sakura were playing backgammon. It was too late, so Kiana went to bed first.

Although the couple hadn't seen each other for a long time, they didn't make out immediately because they were waiting for their apprentice to come back.

Padofelis actually went to ask Guanxing to go back to the house.

"I seem to have heard Pado's cry for help."

"It's okay, that girl is not as weak as she looks."

"However, Xiao Guanxing and Xiao Yuexia are very strong now. After all, they are both fusion warriors, especially Xiao Guanxing. She has been practicing for thousands of years. Although Pado is older, she has only been practicing for a few years? Even if she is Even Pado might not be able to beat her in a one-on-one fight. Moreover, Stargazing's fighting style makes it difficult for her to run away." Sakura analyzed seriously.

In a way, Stargazing's fighting style is very restrained against Padofelis.

"It's okay if you can't die." Wutong was not worried at all. Guanxing was not someone who would kill randomly.

"That's right." Sakura nodded and said with a smile, "Little Star Gazer had better shave off all the hair on Pado."

Sakura is looking forward to seeing the bald Padofelis. It must be very interesting, right?

I hope Xiaoxinggao can give me some help.
