Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

"The old plum blossoms in the courtyard are giving off a new fragrance. The old friends of that time are no longer around. When I wake up, I fear it was all a dream. I have forgotten everything about my past. Where is my hometown?"

Gao Su replied:

"I often envy the man who carves jade in the world, and I should ask the heaven to give me a girl who makes pastries. The clear song spreads through the white teeth, the wind rises, the snow flies and the scorching sea turns cool."

"Returning from a long journey, my face looks even more pale. My smile still carries the fragrance of Lingnan plum blossoms. Is this a bad time? Remember: where the heart is at peace is my hometown."

In that era of unending collapse, as the Fire Chaser and the Red Kite Immortal, she shouldered the important responsibility of protecting human civilization and resisting collapse.

In order to prevent herself from falling, she had to control her emotions. In the past six thousand years, Fu Hua had long been accustomed to living alone.

Lonely and lonely, Fu Hua had already realized when she took over the Spark Project from Eden that these six thousand years were not as difficult as she had imagined.

Because of the special fighting method of burning memories, every battle will abandon all the past, so that Fu Hua will not suffer from the pain of memory.

Fu Hua is the last line of defense in this world, she is an iron wall that can never fall.

As the guardian god who has to face the winds from all directions alone, she cannot be bound by emotions, nor can she let emotions become shackles on her sword.

Until the man in front of her responded to her as if he were answering a poem she had written, and even treated her like an ordinary Valkyrie.

From the time she became a fusion warrior 50,000 years ago until she met Gao Su, Fu Hua had only encountered 'special treatment'.

This is true for the Seven Disciples, Otto, Kevin who returned from the Quantum Sea, and Grace who he met not long ago.

Only Gao Su, the captain, treated her like an ordinary Valkyrie, acting like an ordinary person:

"Okay, I think Xiaoshi must be getting impatient, let's go have some hot pot. It's snowing today, so hot pot is perfect."

“Tsk…”

Seeing Fu Hua and Gao Su take so long to come over, the Herrscher of Knowledge bit his chopsticks and gritted his teeth, asking knowingly:

"What have you been doing? What took you so long?"

"I discussed something with Fu Hua about taking up a position at the Tianming headquarters. This is also why I came here."

Gao Su's pause caused the Herrscher of Knowledge to look towards his captain. However, the Herrscher of Knowledge, drawn in by his words, failed to notice that Fu Hua was also looking towards Gao Su.

"what's up?"

Gao Su took the sesame sauce and poured it into his dipping dish, then said meaningfully:

"Heaven's will, a global conscription is about to begin."

The Herrscher of Knowledge picked up a piece of chicken breast that had just been in the hot pot a few minutes ago, blew on it twice, and then sipped the broth a few times. While speaking, he asked Gao Su:

"What? Has Theresa finally figured it out? Is she planning to start her journey to global domination?"

In response, Fu Hua picked up the soup that only contained chicken, salt, and coconut water and took a sip:

"Then how will Tianming explain this to the nations of the world?"

"I was thinking about this too, but Theresa's stupid recruitment ad did give me some ideas."

Gao Su handed Theresa's recruitment advertisement to Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Knowledge. The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at his captain with satisfaction:

"Hehehe, Captain, I've got the evidence against you. I'll send this recording to Theresa and have her deduct your salary."

Gao Su used the serving chopsticks to pick up some meat for Fu Hua and her, and put the new chicken into the hot pot:

"Go ahead and give it to me. Don't you know that Theresa never paid me my salary once? I spent all my money on you."

The Herrscher of Knowledge pondered for a long time about his captain's blunt and reckless words, and all he wanted to say boiled down to one word:

"Grass."

Gao Su looked up at the sun setting in the west, picked up a plate of tripe, and replied calmly:

"It's too early, let's go later."

The Herrscher of Knowledge glanced at Fu Hua, who was about to put fresh bamboo shoots into the pot.

"You're not going to say anything about this random association?"

"I don't have much to say. After all, preaching to the Captain is useless. What's more, the Captain might have already prepared his remarks."

Fu Hua picked up the cut Chunbulao and put it into her mouth, chewing and grinding it. The Herrscher of Knowledge watched Gao Su continuously put the meat in and then scooped out the blood foam, and asked without giving up:

"Really, Captain?"

"Do you want to listen?"

Gao Su looked up at the Herrscher of Consciousness and saw that she was about to speak but hesitated. He then picked up a lot of meat and put it into her bowl, which only had a little sauce and soup mixed together.

"Eat."

"Speaking of conscription, Captain, what are your thoughts? Conscription? The Sky Mandate's forces already have a subordinate orphanage system to support them, not to mention a large-scale world conscription."

Fu Hua brought up the topic they hadn't finished discussing before, and Gao Su smiled.

"Is there a problem? Those who come out of the orphanage are the elite of destiny, and those recruited by the World Recruitment II are the grassroots troops."

"It's impossible that all of Tianming's troops are elite personnel. The effort and cost of training them is enormous."

"Besides, before Kiana comprehends the cocoon, we won't be able to mass-produce Herrschers or S-rank Valkyries. However, I do have a plan."

As Gao Su spoke, he took out a white paper from his pocket and handed it to Fu Hua. Fu Hua took the white paper, and the Herrscher of Knowledge also came over.

However, it was only for a moment.

The expressions on their faces could no longer be maintained. The Herrscher of Consciousness took a deep breath, his scalp tingling, and his face was full of shock.

Fu Hua frowned, feeling extremely troubled and puzzled. Their changes were all due to the contents of the white paper...

"With all due respect, Captain, achieving the vision outlined in your white paper is indeed a beautiful thing, but achieving it is...very difficult."

Fu Hua closed the white paper and handed it back to Gao Su:

"Furthermore, Captain, the society, or world, described in your book requires highly developed social productivity and a broad range of consensus."

"A social economy based on the orderly free association of workers based on the principle of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" on the basis of a significant improvement in the scientific and cultural level, ideological awareness, and moral standards of the people."

"But, as far as I'm concerned, from a 'human' perspective, such a society and world can only be an inverse proportional function that is infinitely close to the coordinate axis but never intersects it."

"The core issue is this: If you want to win over some of those who oppose you, you have to win over the neutral faction."

"It makes those who live by their lot feel that it's profitable, or that you are absolutely sure of winning, but what happens after you win?"

"Then naturally, different internal demands will lead to divisions. And there can't be a chariot that can keep moving forever."

"The current situation is fine, but what happens next? What happens after we completely defeat the evil dragon of Honkai?"

"After that, everyone will definitely disband and live peaceful lives. Priests will return to become bishops, knights will return to inherit their titles, and warriors will return to become nobles."

"Everyone has their own lives and ideas. It's the pressure, threats, and life and death that bring people together."

"You're no longer a threat, are you? 30 Guilty = O Qijiu Wu B, Shrimp. The other issues that were initially put aside need to be brought up again."

“Stories, legends, and movies only make everything end at the most glorious and beautiful moment, but life will go on and turn all the beauty into a mess.”

"Furthermore, if we want to maintain unity, we can only continue to promote the outer solar system threat theory and the imaginary enemy theory."

"As Dr. May said, 'Every star in the sky is our enemy.'"

"What's more, not everyone has lofty goals like Kiana. Some people are more simple and just want to get promoted, become rich, and become famous."

"But he seems vulgar compared to Kiana's dream. Besides, a moving chariot must stop."

"Either the driver acknowledges reality, gradually slows down and stops, and everyone stops and disperses, or they just keep speeding up and eventually overturn."

"Captain, even those who love you will sometimes get jealous and have disagreements, let alone others."

"Also, Captain, you should also consider that we are another civilization. Our lifespan is different from that of ordinary people."

"Ordinary people may have updated several generations, but we are still the same as before, Captain. Things like the Seven Disciples of Taixu are not isolated cases, Captain."

Fu Hua explained to Gao Su earnestly that everyone has selfish desires, and she has deeply understood the lessons of the Seven Disciples of Taixu:

"An endless lifespan will only make people suppress their emotions with rationality, Captain."

Gao Su was silent for a moment, then replied:

"I understand what you mean, but Kiana believes that as pioneers, we must be responsible for the future of mankind."

Volume 1: Did We Really Defeat Honkai?: Chapter 142: Fu Hua's Concern for Kiana

"She believes that we cannot give up the future of humanity because of our own selfishness."

Gao Su closed the white paper:

"Also, I don't think my plan is so far-fetched. As long as I can complete the first step, everything else will fall into place."

"Also, I have considered the issues you mentioned, Fu Hua."

Gao Su opened the white paper:

"I admit that what you said is correct, but so what? We are the pioneers, and our responsibility is to be responsible for the future of mankind."

"Even if the final result is not satisfactory, we must try. What's more, I believe my plan can succeed."

"As for the lifespan issue, it's indeed a big problem, but there are solutions."

Gao Su said as he took out a glass bottle from his pocket, which contained a light blue liquid.

"This is a substance I discovered while researching the Herrscher's energy. It can prolong the lifespan of living organisms and maintain the activation of their functions."

"Of course, the effect of this thing is not obvious. It can only delay aging. However, if it is combined with another drug, it can have an unexpected effect."

Gao Su took out another bottle filled with red liquid:

"This is a potion I made based on the recipe Theresa gave me. Its function is very simple, which is to elevate the mind and spirit."

"Simply put, it means making people smarter, more rational, and more reasonable, which is exactly what is needed to realize the society I am describing."

"Captain, you mean..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at the two bottles in Gao Su's hands, and she seemed to have thought of something:

"Are you trying to use these two drugs to control people's minds?"

“No, not control, but guidance.”

Gao Su shook his head. (II) Bells, bells, and cymbals:

"I just want to make people better and more in line with the needs of social development. After all, only in this way can we truly achieve an ideal society where everyone contributes to their ability and everyone gets what they need."

"But, Captain, is this really a good idea?"

Fu Hua looked at Gao Su with some concern:

"Although I know you're doing this for the good of everyone and for the development of humanity as a whole, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Is it too much? I don't think so."

Gao Su smiled:

"As long as it can make the world a better place, then even if I sacrifice some personal interests, what's the harm?"

"Besides, I didn't force them to eat these things. Everything was voluntary. Since they chose to accept help, they have to pay the price."

"But what if someone doesn't want to accept it? Or is against it?"

The Herr of Knowledge raises a question:

"Are you going to kill all those who resist?"

"Why kill him? That would only backfire."

Gao Su shook his head:

"For those who are unwilling to accept help, I will give them enough respect and let them freely choose the lifestyle they want."

"However, this way, their lives may become much more difficult than they are now, because there are too many temptations and difficulties waiting for them in this world."

"That's why I offer them help, so they can face it more easily. This isn't about control, it's just goodwill."

"Okay, enough talking. The food is getting cold. Let's eat it while it's hot."

Gao Su changed the subject and continued to put meat into the hot pot:

"It's a rare opportunity for us to get together today, so let's not talk about work. The most important thing is to enjoy the food."
