Chapter 110

Luo Qi looked at Du Zhengyi, his face was still calm, but Luo Qi could see that he had made some kind of decision.Vaguely, he had a premonition that Du Zhengyi would say something today, something that he had vaguely guessed the outline of.In a few months, maybe three or five years, he might regret hearing these things, but right now he can't care.

"According to the oath of the Gushan guard, I shouldn't have said these things, but I never thought that one day I would not be in Qionglin." Du Zhengyi said.

Roach muttered in a low voice, "That's right, you were born for Qionglin."

"Shut up, Roach." Mahjong said, but his words were a little weak.

In the end, I don't know why Du Zhengyi was so rare to be serious. He turned to Luo Qi and said, "Of course I wasn't born for Qionglin."

"Damn it, it's fun, don't quarrel, okay?" Mahjong said, causing Roach and Du Zhengyi to look over at him, and he gave them a big roll of their eyes. "If you work harder, you will hopefully be promoted to the big class and be classmates with Guan Xinyue."

Guan Xinyue looked at the three men with unkind faces, and stood up helplessly, "Du Ge, Luo Qi, why don't you all sit down and let's talk slowly. I know, I have no position to do so." Said, I don't even have a stand here, but..." She bit her thin lips, "I really want to know what kind of work my grandpa is doing, and why our whole family is ruined."

This is indeed the biggest reason for Guan Xinyue to persevere until today. Luo Qi walked over and sat down beside her.

Du Zhengyi stood still, turned his head and looked out the window, overlooking the roof of the front building.On the roof of the human building stands a huge air-conditioning outdoor unit. It seems that there is something wrong, and several workers are overhauling it.They are methodical and calmly carry out the daily work that needs to be done every day.In human cities, there are countless people like this who are constantly repairing and maintaining the city every day, beating, painting and decontamination.

"Do you like air conditioning?" Du Zhengyi asked suddenly.

Mahjong was stunned for a moment, with an expression on his face as if he wanted to check Du Zhengyi's mind immediately.Luo Qi was about to pick up the drinks on the tea table, but he was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Du Zhengyi's back seriously.

Only Guan Xinyue felt helplessly that she was the one who had to answer those words.She thought about it helplessly, and said jokingly, "No one doesn't like it, right? It's the greatest invention of mankind."

"Yes." Du Zhengyi said in a low voice, "Mages like it too. A long time ago, mages could only move around like migratory birds, looking for a comfortable place to live. It was not a comfortable time."

Guan Xinyue still felt a little baffled, and felt that she couldn't keep up with Du Zhengyi's train of thought. She looked at Luo Qi for help.

Roach said, "It means that no matter how many hypocritical theories the Lotus Burner has, we mages are parasites living on the human world."

Mahjong glared at him disapprovingly, and he continued without paying attention, "In ancient times, we were gods and enjoyed offerings from humans. Even now, we still rely on enslaving humans to survive?"

Guan Xinyue looked at him in surprise, "Slavery?"

"I don't agree with this point of view. Roach is clearly another extreme mage who is the opposite of the lotus burner." Mahjong said loudly, pushing the Coke can that Roach had been trying to hook without standing up further with his thoughts.He has always been willing to bully Roach. Roach still can't remember that he is a normal mage. When he is not teasing cats, all his behaviors are no different from human beings.

"Then who do you think grows the food we eat? There have never been mage farmers in this world, and there is no farm magic in our system." Roach said, giving up Coke, he has been used to being bullied by mages, I really can't remember that I can snatch the Coke back with my own ability.

"I," Mahjong said, "as a doctor, I earn currency from human society through medical services to support my family. I don't enslave human beings, and sometimes I send their children a quick healing course."

"Oh, that's amazing," said Roach dryly. "How many hours a day do you work?"

Mahjong hesitated for a while and did not answer. Roach continued, "How many days do you work in a week? Do you know how many days a week, how many hours a day, and how much work pressure is there for human doctors? I guess you only work when you want to work." Work? Most mages are like this in human society. Or they can easily obtain jewelry and treasures and sell them to humans at a high price, which is not in line with human economics, right?"

This time Mahjong didn't speak, and Luo Qi said, "There is also the issue of exchange rates. If we work for Qionglin, we will get credit points, which can be exchanged for human currency. Xinyue, you have already exchanged money, probably already Do you know that you are about to become rich? Haven’t you ever thought about how easy it is for mages to obtain a large amount of human currency? As long as you make a little contribution to the mage world, you can easily become a rich man in human society. "

Guan Xinyue asked hesitantly, "Exchanging credits for currency...who set this exchange rate?"

"Good question." Roach said, he looked at Mahjong, and Mahjong looked a little weak. "It was decided by Qionglin. In order to ensure that humans will not find out, and to reasonably measure the contribution of mages, Qionglin has specially set up a system of calculations to calculate. It even includes sending mind mages to interfere with key figures of human beings at appropriate nodes." , Squeeze out the wealth needed by mages from the wealth of human beings. To be honest, fortunately, we have few people."

"What Roach said is basically correct." Du Zhengyi said, "When the mage world merged for the first time, I thought about limiting the scale of human development, and tried to do it."

"How did you do it?" Guan Xinyue asked with some fear.

"War, and its derivatives." Du Zhengyi said, his face shrouded in the shadows by the window, "We cultivate lunatics among human beings, interfere with the group reaction of human beings in the form of magic circles, and humans pay allegiance to the lunatics." , bow down to the lunatics. Human beings started the largest war in history. Human beings are still studying why they are collectively insane, why they hold lunatics on the altar. Not just one lunatic, not just a group of people, the whole human being Stepped into the abyss of destruction at one point."

"Then why did the war end in the end?" Guan Xinyue asked, "Has the mage's control over humans failed?"

"Definitely not." Roach said, "I think it's out of control. The scale of human beings has shrunk to be smaller than the mage expected, and the warlike nature of human beings has also exceeded the mage's expectations. The result is that humans no longer produce. I am almost starving to death, and the comfort level of life is getting worse day by day."
