Chapter 263 A Civilization Born from Bizarre and Outrageous Proportions
Xue Law: "..."

Although it didn't seem like the time to concern himself with other people's races, he was genuinely curious. Despite their human-like appearances, Xue Luding seemed to truly feel the immense cultural and physiological differences between different races at this moment.

How can there be a civilization with such an absurdly high gender ratio? And how can there really be a civilization that forces men to marry dozens of wives? What kind of hell is this? And buddy, can you afford to support them?
Even when the guy turned around and revealed the word "Young General" written in the language of interstellar column on his back, Xue Lude was speechless. All his attention was focused on the guy's race.

“Let me tell you why I have such a code name. Right after I completed my first mission, the captain noticed me and praised me, saying, ‘You are truly a brave and resourceful young general.’ So I adopted that praise as my code name.”

He gave himself a thumbs-up, with an expression that said, "Come praise me!"

Xue's law fell silent.

Yes, he might be very young, even younger than himself.

Based on his expression and habits, Xue's conclusion is that their racial development is not as fast as that of Earthlings. Like the elves, his mental age, at least in Xue's view, is only at the level of a junior high school student.

After a moment of silence, feeling overwhelmed by the mixed fragrance, he silently used his cursed blood to cut off his sense of smell, which finally made him feel a little better. So he asked curiously as before.

"By the way, you must be quite young, right? How many wives do you have now?"

The young man pointed confidently to himself and smiled, "I turned 18 last year, but now I already have 91 wives."

Xue Law: "..."

Wait, did he hear that right, Young Master Duo?
91 wives?
He froze for a moment. After confirming that he hadn't misheard, his mind seemed to be spinning like the Big Bang, with countless whispered "born of my mother" echoing in his head.

These kids who've just come of age already have over a hundred wives? WTF, what kind of race is that? He couldn't help but wonder what kind of world could give rise to such a bizarre civilization.

He hadn't felt it before, but now, Xue's Law, with his own worldview, was completely incomprehensible. The idea that a man needed to marry dozens of wives was starting to malfunction in his mind.

In the end, one can only marvel at how wondrous the universe is; it's truly unbelievable that a race with such a gender ratio hasn't been wiped out.

Seeing that Xue Dinglu's facial expression had become quite abstract, the young man seemed somewhat indignant and said, "You seem to be thinking about something very rude?"

"Uh, is it that obvious?" Xue asked rhetorically.

"Everyone else who hears about my race for the first time has this kind of look on their face. I've seen it all before. There are also many women from other planets who look at me like I'm a scumbag. Ha, this is the culture and custom of my homeland. Although I have married 91 wives, we all had pure love." The young general said indignantly.

Xue Law: "..."

Ah yes, yes, yes, the pure love god with 91 wives. Although I married 91 wives, I love each and every one of them equally, so I am pure love...

what?
"Don't look at me like that. At least my wives love me very much. They are all willing to support me, they won't betray me, and they won't get angry with me. Each of them has a clear division of labor and treats me like a treasure." He seemed very proud as he talked about how excellent his 91 wives were.

Xue Dinglu listened for a while, then fell silent.

He adopted their worldview entirely from an Earthling's perspective, which is why he had such absurd thoughts as "Isn't it too outrageous to have 91 wives?"

However, through this young man's conversation, Xue Lude learned about the complete ecological structure of their society.

Their social and family structure is like a pride of lions, where it is not the men who support the women, but the women who support the men. For the society and civilization as a whole, the only thing men need to do is to train their bodies well and pursue their dreams without restraint.

Of course, this dream must be linked to taking responsibility for one's own reproduction.

It was a race where females outnumbered males by dozens of times, so every male had dozens of wives, and many outstanding children even had nearly a hundred wives.

Therefore, girls in that world are taught from a young age to shoulder the burden of family responsibilities and how to be good wives so that they won't be unable to get married when they grow up.

These numerous wives formed a well-organized maid squad.

Often, when boys are in elementary school, there is only one boy in the whole class, and the remaining dozens are girls. These girls are the basic "future wives" allocated by the state.

Then, during their childhood, before the relationship was truly confirmed, they could freely switch to any class they felt was incompatible or wanted to change classes. After more than ten years of schooling, those who stayed by a boy's side were basically his future wives.

Over the course of their more than ten years of schooling, these girls will gradually develop clear divisions of labor and cooperation: who is responsible for working and earning money, who is responsible for taking care of the children in the family, and who is responsible for protecting the boys from being cheated on by other girls, and so on.

Furthermore, everyone has been childhood sweethearts since they were a few years old, and they were all innocent and inseparable. Regardless of whether they were boys or girls, they had gone through more than ten years of getting to know each other during their school years. Those who couldn't get along basically left before confirming their relationship, and went to hang themselves on another tree.

The young man proudly boasted that when he was a child, there were only 29 girls in his class at the beginning, but by the time he graduated, he had 91 girls around him, and even his initial 29 wives hadn't abandoned him. Xue Dinglu's eyes twitched as he listened.

Based on these simple analyses, Xue's Law immediately understood why this young man was so confident in saying that his wives would not betray him.

In their world, men are rarer than pandas, and who doesn't have dozens of wives?

Judging from how these wives automatically became part of the "wife battle group" after graduation, they probably guard their own little darlings like thieves, preventing others from stealing their homes, and then squeezing out other women who want to join in and get a share.

In this situation, let alone betrayal, they'd probably be secretly plotting how to beat you to your knees and imprison you forever in a secret room where no one knows you.

It's truly amazing how diverse the world is. A woman is responsible for earning money, supporting her family, raising her children, preventing theft, and forming a team to protect her family and her children. This kind of civilization has unfolded before Xue's Law.

He's really seen something new today.

There are such outrageous races and civilizations in this universe. They have even developed into interstellar civilizations by relying on this simple and crude "family" unit structure. I heard that their magical technology has already produced robots capable of independent thought.

"Hey, brother, how many wives do you have?" After proudly introducing his civilization and the wives who loved him, he casually asked Xue Dinglu.

Xue Law: "..."

Damn it, we're already in space, and they're still pressuring me to get married!

……

The two learned about each other's civilizations, and Xue Luding was amazed by the civilization of the young man's hometown.

When the young man heard that Xue Ding's family actually had men taking on the responsibility of supporting their wives, he was immediately amazed and claimed that it was a bizarre race. He said that girls did not learn to take care of the family and bear the weight of the family, but instead the men had to bear it. He said it was really terrible and that their world was too terrifying. Wasn't that living in hell?
Xue Law: "..."

Forget it, we have different cultures, we can't communicate.

Just like Olivia's original form was a mimicry demon, she basically had no desires or shame about procreation. She transformed into a beautiful woman simply because this image was more popular and allowed her to get along better in various places.

Her teasing of Xue Luding wasn't out of lust, but simply because, as a genderless race that reproduces through mitosis, the Mimic Demons had a completely different understanding of gender than Xue Luding.

While this young man's race wasn't as bizarre as the Mimic Demons, their culture and social structure left Xue Law utterly dumbfounded.

Even in their society and culture, many girls end up becoming part of their own brothers' wives' group. This is a very normal phenomenon. There's no other way; there are too many wolves and not enough meat, so they often have to settle things internally.

This absurd social structure is something Xue Zhiqian could never have imagined; it's truly a case of adults' imaginations limiting them.

The two chatted casually, and Xue Dinglu secretly passed on information about that world to the child.

Although he seemed unreliable, Xue knew that this child was actually one of the people who had helped him on Fairy Tale Star.

Even if it's very abstract...

But he was indeed a powerful attacker in the Starfleet. He was very strong, a warrior with the ability to fold space, and he joined the Starfleet at a very young age. Under the training of a group of big guys, he became a battle-hardened interstellar warrior.

He also possesses two Medals of Salvation.

Xue asked why he would do something so risky when he had so many wives, and whether he was afraid his wives would be sad after he died.

The little boy was silent for a moment, then said, "People should always pursue their dreams, right? Besides, I already have 98 children and 4 sons. I've already met societal expectations. From now on, I just need to realize my own dreams."

"And another thing, while I'm enjoying my life with my wife and kids, there are probably many lovely girls in other places suffering, and I can't stand that!" he said indignantly. "You know, I met more than ten of my wives during my mission to save the world."

Xue Law: "..."

Good grief, you're going to expand your harem while you're at it!

So, aren't there reproductive barriers in harems in other worlds? What, is your race like the elves, capable of overcoming even reproductive barriers?
At the same time, he learned about the child's dream, which was both idealistic and realistically driven by his own ulterior motives.
