Chapter 266 Local Specialties: A Seven-Day Genesis - There's Always One That Suits You

"Oh, I'm so sorry, the young masters probably don't know the specific subsidy system," she said immediately.

“If an ordinary human child hands over one, they will receive one gold coin every month for the next five years. A degenerated person will receive one gold coin every three months, while a child who hands over a magician's child will receive one gold coin and 50 silver coins every month,” she said. “One gold coin is enough for a family to live on for more than a month.”

"So you see, my price is actually very profitable. I guarantee you'll have at least eight children in ten years. If you hand them all over, you'll have at least 360 gold coins after fifteen years. If you're lucky enough to have a few children with magic talent, you'll receive even more subsidies." She started doing math for Xue Dinglu and the young general, counting on her fingers.

She wasn't wrong; a year in this world is about nine months long.

"I can also sign long-term employment contracts. I can become the young masters' long-term toy and breeding mother. The price is negotiable. Don't let my thin appearance fool you, I'm in great shape, and I guarantee there won't be any problems." She started promoting herself again.

It felt like I'd be missing out if I didn't promote myself today.

After all, compared to those fat, old, and ugly merchants and ordinary nobles, he had really hit the jackpot with these two young, handsome, rich, and even extraordinary junior classmates.

See, even the late-rising bird can meet a better person.

However, she didn't notice that Xue Dinglu and Xiao Jiang hadn't spoken for a long time. They looked at each other and saw deep sorrow and anger in each other's eyes.

It's more like a feeling of pity for their misfortune and anger at their lack of resistance.

Xue Daolu casually pulled out another gold coin, flicked it onto the bed, and she immediately pounced over to pick it up, excitedly putting it into her pocket.

"Is the tuition at the magic academy really that expensive? Why would you rather sell yourselves than stay here?" Xue Dinglu asked in a low voice.

The girl was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected that the young masters would care about her. But since the young masters liked to hear stories of the hardships of the lower classes, she naturally went along with it: "It's very expensive, 50 gold coins per semester. Ordinary people definitely can't afford it, but I'm determined to go to school. I don't want to become a degenerate and spend my whole life lying in bed."

"I don't want to become a degenerate person. I want to become a normal person, and then a formal magician, and have a life where I can live normally without having children my whole life." She said, and then immediately added in a cheeky tone, "But if the young masters are willing to take me home, I'd be happy to. You can play with me anytime, and even assign me to chores like unclogging toilets and cleaning stables is no problem."

Xue Dinglu opened his mouth, originally wanting to ask why the ratio of male to female commoner magicians was a terrifying 1 to 100, but then he realized in an instant that this was an obvious question without even asking it.

In such a life-centric world, men are far less valuable than women. Most men are probably hung on trees right after birth because their value is limited.

In a magic academy, girls can sell their reproductive rights for a large sum of money to support their studies, but how can men earn money in this cannibalistic world?
Xue's Law doesn't know.

Girls degrade their reproductive rights because they still have this right and can exchange it for benefits, while the boys have long since gone to be brothers on the sacred tree.

After tossing another coin, Xue Luding asked, "One last question, won't it be inconvenient to go to school with a big belly?"

"Hehe, young masters, what's inconvenient about it? Most of my classmates are either heavily pregnant or in their postpartum period, but they still continue attending classes and learning magic. At most, they might take half a day off on the day of delivery, and then go back to class after the umbilical cord is cut. Taking even half a day off would be a waste of knowledge," she said with a grin.

"By the way, I am Eli, a healing magic apprentice in Class C of the second year. I also have mastered low-level healing spells, so I probably won't even need to take half a day off when I give birth; I can do it during breaks between classes."

Seeing her reaction after she touched a few gold coins, the atmosphere between Xue Dinglu and Xiao Jiang became terrifyingly gloomy.

In fact, they had already asked all their questions. Xue's final question stemmed from his personal misunderstanding of this century and had nothing to do with intelligence gathering.

But the more they learned, the more silent they became, and the more sorrowful they felt.

However, the female mage Ellie didn't seem to feel sad at all. She even began to slowly remove her clothes, revealing a gesture she had learned from somewhere—stroking her thigh—and said, "Would the young masters like to inspect the goods? You can do it now."

"Snap!" Xue Lude snapped his fingers.

Then the girl's pupils dilated and her gaze became vacant. She mechanically put on her clothes and then curled up in bed.

Hypnosis, or more precisely, complete hypnosis.

Complete hypnotic control over a person's body and soul, completely blinding the five senses, and even manipulating the brain to issue corresponding commands.

After losing his original Noble Phantasm, Xue Lude obtained a new modifier. Apart from the Cursed Blood, he did not copy the other Noble Phantasms from before, but at the same time, he developed several useful abilities.

The first is time stop, which is also one of his trump cards.

Secondly, complete hypnosis is his best auxiliary ability to perform rituals.

The third is charm, but this was developed randomly. He originally wanted to remove the charm-enhancing blessing on himself, but failed and seemed to have accidentally developed this ability.

After the girl was completely lying on the bed, Xue Luding and Xiao Jiang ignored her and sat on the stool, remaining silent for a long time.

"Brother, what do you think?" After a long while, the young man finally spoke first.

Xue Law: "..."

"Is there any point in saving this world?" he continued, his whole body turning as red as a fever.

The youthful arrogance and anger were vividly displayed in him. He said, "The world is like this, how come no one thinks it's wrong? They're all starting to degenerate into half-beasts, don't they think there's a problem?" "Then are they human, or pigs in a pigsty? Doesn't anyone think there's a problem with the world?" the young man said angrily.

"So what if someone thinks there's a problem?" Xue asked rhetorically.

"them……"

“They can’t do it. That’s the most devastating way the Mind Flayers can kill, because they can’t do anything. Can they resist the Mind Flayers, or can they resist the Divine Pavilion and the gods? And only when they are completely unable to survive will the will to resist be aroused. But you saw it too…” Xue Dinglu closed his eyes and pointed to the girl on the bed.
"They all survived! They all had their own unique ways of living, even though these ways seemed disgusting to us. But they didn't care. As long as they could live, they wouldn't resist. This is what is meant by 'born in hardship, die in comfort'..."

"From our perspective, this is a slow death, complete extinction, and becoming livestock. But they can't see it. They don't have that vision, they don't have that ability. Even these apprentice magicians who are already elites, their vision is limited to this. Do you expect a world-shaking figure to emerge in this world?"

Xue's tone was slightly harsh, but the young man also choked up.

“Yes, because most boys are hung on the sacred tree at birth…” the young man said.

The two were silent again.

Xue Lude never smokes, but at this moment, he really wanted to light a cigarette to clear his head, because here he had to act as the strategist. The young general was just a greenhorn, not the senior Olivia, so his wisdom was needed to think about the problems.

Damn, this is some amazing wisdom! Now you'd better start thinking about it!

When Xue Dinglu had a headache, the young man spoke up again.

“But I seem to remember from the angel’s memories that the old theocracy used to distribute bread for free…” the young general said. “There was no need to have children. The theocracy would distribute bread for free and go to the countryside to preach, awaken children’s magical aptitude, and teach them basic doctrines and writing…”

"When the angels were still around, the Holy Kingdom might have had a corrupt upper class, but at least at the grassroots level, countless missionaries like these in the mountains and countryside constituted the only hope and light for the people at the bottom of this world..."

"For the first time, I felt that these remnants of religious fighters were so wonderful and sacred. How I wish that the original, staunch religious fighters under the angels' command had not all died out. What does it matter if it's a trial of heresy? What does it matter if it's absolute order? What does it matter if it's a religious terror?"

"Brother, did you know that someone in the Starfleet once proposed a hypothesis: in the universe, all races that demonstrate intelligence will eventually converge and evolve into the form before the 'King' appeared? Similarly, if they abandon intelligence and humanity, they might regress into their original beastly form..." the young general said.
“I used to think this theory was nonsense, but now I’m starting to believe it.” He pointed out the window and said, “In this miserable world, they have already begun to gradually degenerate into beasts.”

"The vast majority of them no longer belong to the category of 'human beings'."

Xue Dinglu remained silent for a long time before finally retorting, "Have you ever considered that it is precisely because of these small acts of religious zeal that previous civilizations stagnated..."

"Because the same was true in the previous civilization, people could only guarantee that they would barely survive from starvation."

Both of them fell silent.

Even Xue's Law, with its astonishing wisdom, couldn't offer a better solution than "when my flower blooms, all other flowers wither."

"Brother, I can't stand the environment here. If there aren't any problems, I want to go straight to the monster territory. Instead of pretending to be friendly with these beasts in human skin, I'd rather actually go to the monsters' territory. I'm confident I can subdue those intelligent monsters who want to evolve into humans," the young general said.

"Because I'm here, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and violate the Starfleet's rules. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist and, while sleepwalking, wipe out everyone here. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."

For the first time, Xue Dinglu felt he had been silent for so long. He turned to the angel within him and asked, "What do you think?"

"kill!"

"Kill kill kill kill kill kill!"

“Inferior species, lowly things, all should die under my great extinction, and only then can a new civilization be born from the ruins!” she said in a hoarse voice. “If the Lord is unwilling to act, then I will do it for him!”

The angel, who ascended from the primordial era, is not suited to be a leader. Born in the primordial era, she lacked vision and perspective. Although she may have made progress at first after becoming the only god, it was truly a disaster that she still clung to the ideas of the primordial era.

If she had died after ending the War of the Beasts, it would probably have been an insurmountable mountain and chasm for future generations. It's just a pity that she lived until the time when her own thoughts began to become an obstacle.

She is only suited to be an executor, a henchman and a cruel official.

Xue also kept his head down. He knew that unless a radical change occurred, the world would have no future even if it were saved.

He wasn't the kind of person who believed that "major changes would cause major chaos," nor did he think that these legitimate maidens were something that needed to exist. However, the maidens of this world were considered by these nobles and gods to be an essential cornerstone.

Or rather, the existence of this thing is a disgusting product of extreme exploitation, where even the right to reproduce is exploited.

After the young man decided to go to the Great Forest of Monsters, Xue Lude decided to use his own two feet to traverse the suffering of this world, and then use that to formulate the corresponding prologue to the Seven Days of Creation.

He needs to see all the paths ahead clearly, measure the world with his own feet, and prepare a unique seven-day creation myth suitable for this world.

And now, he wrote on the title page.
