Chapter 1935 Different Choices in the Era of Spiritual Qi Revival: All Possibilities for Humanity
Inside the Service Department, Yukino Yukinoshita rubbed her slightly throbbing temples.
The group admin's unpredictable thinking can sometimes be really hard to keep up with.
However, she did begin to seriously consider the feasibility of the proposal.
Putting aside the unpleasant "sentiment analysis" mentioned earlier, the mere fact that "having a highly intelligent auxiliary robot" is something she simply cannot refuse.
Moreover, as the group admin said, given Yukino's family background, it was indeed much easier for them to conceal their origins than other group members.
Yukino Yukinoshita: "The explanation regarding the origin of the robots is indeed feasible."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "But, let's not do it for now."
Yukino Yukinoshita's tone carried a hint of regret.
Of course she wanted Doraemon.
But even if a reasonable explanation could be found for her existence and it could be covered up, she would still need to go to school most of the time.
And it must stay at home for extended periods and cannot travel with you.
Furthermore, if taken out of the house, even if not often, it will inevitably attract excessive attention from others.
Even without gadgets, a robot like Doraemon would be too conspicuous in this day and age.
She cannot guarantee that it will not attract the attention of other family members or related individuals.
If they come to contact or investigate after learning that this is some kind of technology that the Yukinoshita family is involved in or has mastered, whether out of curiosity, a desire to cooperate, or other motives, it may not be a good thing for the Yukinoshita family.
While the Yukinoshita family wields considerable influence in Chiba, they are by no means all-powerful.
Introducing a "robot" that is clearly beyond the current level of technology, even if it is disguised as a "customized high-end product," may bring temporary attention and even praise, but it is more likely to attract unnecessary prying, coveting, or even trouble.
She was unwilling to disrupt the family's relatively peaceful situation and get caught up in an unknown vortex because of her own momentary "desire".
So, forget it.
An ordinary group admin: "After rational consideration, should we give up for now?"
An ordinary group admin: "This is not bad either."
An ordinary group owner said, "Anyway, this opportunity isn't only available now."
The ordinary group owner said: "In the future, once you have accumulated enough points and become strong enough, you won't need to care anymore."
Su Yunqing was not surprised to see Yukino Yukinoshita's words.
Although she has a chat group as a backup, and can ask them for help no matter what trouble she gets into, Yukino Yukinoshita's personality means she definitely won't do that.
Nobita: "That's right, you can tell me later too."
Nobita nodded in agreement. For him, it was just a matter of telling Doraemon; he just needed to buy Doraemon some more dorayaki.
Nobita: "Then I'll go prepare."
Nobita: "Can I prepare thirty first?"
An ordinary group owner said: "Sure, it's okay to prepare more. You can also return the unwanted ones to the chat group."
Su Yunqing nodded. It didn't matter if they prepared more; returning the extra points to the chat group would also earn them points.
So it's really easy for Nobita to get points. He's probably the one who gets them the easiest in the chat group, right? After all, the gadgets are all ridiculously overpowered, and they're all mass-produced.
In the future world, even if you can't buy them in bulk, you'll be able to own robots like Doraemon. Even if there are some restrictions, they probably won't be too great.
However, precisely because of this, there are actually quite a few things in the chat group that are useful to Nobita.
After all, Doraemon's gadgets are powerful, but Nobita doesn't know how to use them, or rather, he doesn't use them very well.
You'll either get counter-killed, run out of power, or cause problems and chaos leading to a global crisis. But the items in the chat group can be used once redeemed, and most of them are used to improve your own strength.
They can also purchase knowledge and technology, skipping the learning process and mastering them directly.
The memory copies also contain ways to use related abilities; the more you see the memory copies, the more naturally you'll learn how to use them.
So even though the gadgets in the Doraemon world are exaggerated, the gadgets in the chat group might actually be more useful to Nobita.
This is true at least in places like studying or playing baseball.
In the real world, two full years have passed since that "Reiki Revival" that changed everything.
More than seven hundred days and nights is but a fleeting moment in the long history of human civilization, yet it is enough to turn the entire planet upside down.
The city, once filled with towering buildings, was transformed into ruins and a newly formed jungle; the familiar order collapsed and was reshaped by blood and fire.
Countless mutated beast tides, like black waves of death, repeatedly assaulted humanity's defenses; sacrifice became the most frequent word of this era, etched on the monuments of every city.
But adversity also breeds the extraordinary. Amidst the fall of countless lives, countless dazzling new stars rise.
Powerful superhumans are emerging like mushrooms after rain, wielding fire, ice, lightning, and willpower, or all sorts of strange and unclassifiable abilities, becoming the backbone of humanity in the midst of the mutation frenzy.
The boundaries between nations become blurred under a shared crisis of survival. Some countries disintegrate in the catastrophe, becoming blood-stained footnotes on the pages of history; others build new nations on the ruins.
The glorious human civilization underwent unimaginable upheavals in just two short years, with pain, sacrifice, and destruction everywhere.
But those who survive such a purgatory, whether individuals or groups, seem to have undergone a rebirth and gained even greater power.
The extreme pressure of life and death has squeezed out the deepest potential of life. Whether it is the body, superpowers, will, or technology, everything is evolving at an unimaginable speed.
Now, after countless clashes, a fragile balance is gradually forming between humans and mutated creatures.
As the mutated creatures grew stronger, their intelligence also increased at an astonishing rate.
They began to break free from purely instinctual drives, learned more complex survival strategies, and shed some of their primitive species-based prejudices.
Powerful mutant creatures began to absorb mutant creatures of different races as their subordinates, occupying mountains, lakes, forests or ruins abandoned by humans, establishing spheres of influence similar to primitive tribes or territories, and fighting endlessly among themselves for territory, resources and mates.
Occupying mountains as kings and waging war against each other has become the new normal in the world of mutated creatures.
Meanwhile, after countless attacks on human settlements only to suffer heavy losses and crush their enemies, the more intelligent mutated beast kings and their clans began to learn their lesson.
They gradually came to realize the terrifying nature of the human race, not only in the endless stream of powerful weapons and superhumans, but also in the resilience and unparalleled teamwork that erupted in dire straits.
They were among the survivors of countless beast tides, but they also witnessed countless mutated creatures like themselves die at the hands of humans.
So unless necessary, they have begun to instinctively avoid human cities and major transportation routes, no longer blindly and recklessly attacking human cities as they did at the beginning of the spiritual revival.
The world has gradually entered a relatively stable phase; among them, five countries are the most powerful, leading the way in the revival of spiritual energy.
China is undoubtedly the most brilliant and stable nation among them.
It not only possesses the largest number of first-order ability users, each of whom is a pillar capable of guarding a city, but also demonstrates astonishing foresight and organizational skills in the subsequent continuous spiritual energy tides and brutal struggles.
They trained more than one spatial ability user and established precise spatial coordinates in major cities and key nodes.
Once a large-scale beast tide attack occurs in a certain area, the nearest top-tier powerhouse can use spatial teleportation to arrive at the battlefield immediately and achieve rapid response.
This allowed Huaxia to ensure the safety of the city to the greatest extent possible and minimize the losses caused by the beast tide.
Within China, the order within cities is even more orderly than before the spiritual energy revival, and the daily lives and production of the people have recovered to the highest degree, making it the most solid barrier in this spiritual energy revival.
However, not all countries have chosen a path similar to that of China.
The lighthouse across the sea made a choice completely different from that of China.
Under the immense pressure of disaster and resource shortages, the decision-makers of the Lighthouse did not hesitate to isolate most civilians from the true "Lighthouse" circle, leaving them to struggle for survival in the "outside circle" where they lacked sufficient protection.
Living conditions are harsh, and safety is difficult to guarantee.
The limited and highest quality resources are highly concentrated within the "circle," supporting the top elite class, scientists, and a number of powerful first-tier individuals.
Here, relying on their breakthrough in gene technology, they frantically advanced their cloning and artificial soldier program, successfully creating a large number of gene soldiers with considerable strength and capable of being deployed on a large scale.
These soldiers became the main force in protecting the "circle," waging war against external forces, and collecting resources.
For the elites in the circle, their standard of living has not declined; on the contrary, it has become more affluent and even luxurious due to the extreme concentration and targeted supply of resources.
Other countries also have their own ways of surviving.
On the scorched earth of Europe, Joan of Arc, a figure from Gallic history and legend, once again stands tall.
No one knows whether she is the saint from history, but like that saint, she raised the banner of faith and hope, and with her brilliant holy light and unparalleled courage, she rallied the remaining believers and the people to rebuild order and their homes under the threat of mutated creatures.
The light of faith became an important spiritual pillar for the people of that land.
Across the sea, in the British Isles, a new Knight King was born, leading his indomitable warriors with an iron will and chivalrous spirit to suppress the rampaging mutated creatures on the islands.
In the vast lands covered by ice fields and forests, the survivors of the bears revere their guardian deities, the "Mad King" and the "Elf".
One is a warrior who crushes all threats head-on with unparalleled ferocity, and the other is a child of the forest who can communicate with nature, command plants, and heal wounds.
The two first-order members jointly safeguarded the safety and hope of the survivors on that harsh land.
These five countries, like the most solid islands in a vast ocean of the apocalypse, stand at the forefront of the survival of human civilization.
But the number of surviving human kingdoms is far more than just these five.
Other countries, whether smaller in territory, weaker in number, or still struggling to survive, are not yet comparable to these five countries.
Some countries, driven by despair or a twisted desire for survival, have even voluntarily submitted to powerful mutated creatures, abandoning the overall stance of humanity in exchange for the chance for their species to survive in the cracks.
These subjugators offered their wisdom, advising the mutated creatures that originally acted solely on instinct, helping them manage their territories, allocate resources, and even plan attacks on other human forces.
They abandoned dignity and pride, using human cunning and knowledge to serve other species, all for the simplest yet cruelest goal: to survive.
When compatriots from outside try to lend a helping hand or condemn their betrayal, they often respond with silence or even more pointed rejection.
"This is our choice."
There may be humiliation and helplessness in his words, but more than that, there is a kind of numbness and a resolute determination rooted in the instinct for survival.
They built high walls to protect themselves from the capriciousness of mutated creatures and to isolate themselves from the sight and voice of their former kind. Within their self-defined "protected area," they continued a distorted and humble form of civilization.
The desire to survive is vividly portrayed on the cruel stage of the spiritual revival.
It fostered a united and resilient fortress like that of China, and also nurtured a cold and efficient elitism like that of a beacon; it rekindled the faith of Gaul on the ruins and revived the chivalrous spirit of the British Empire in dire straits.
However, it also pushes some people into the abyss of turning away from their race and serving those who are different.
Light and shadow, perseverance and succumb to adversity, unity and division. All the possibilities of humanity, this complex species, under extreme pressure, are laid bare in this new era.
China, Hangzhou.
The once neat pedestrian street and spacious square have now been redeveloped into an officially licensed open-air market.
The air was filled with a strong smell, a mixture of rust and a wild scent, the unique aroma of fresh flesh and blood of mutated creatures.
But this smell did not signify danger; rather, it mingled with the bustling voices and the noise of bargaining, creating a unique sense of "prosperity" after the "revival of spiritual energy."
Several groups of mercenaries, weary from their journey, drove their modified off-road vehicles or heavy trucks into the designated unloading area of the market.
The carriage door opened, and a strong smell of blood hit you.
The mercenaries shouted as they dragged down the mountain-like corpses of mutated beasts.
There are mutated wild boars covered with hard bony plates and tusks like scimitars; there are mutated bison as large as a small passenger car and with bulging muscles; and there are giant birds with feathers like iron and sharp beaks and claws.
These mutated beasts, now fresh commodities, were haphazardly piled on specially made waterproof tarpaulins.
Soon, workers specifically responsible for dissection came forward and began to cut up the flesh and blood of these mutated creatures.
The sharp blade moved along the muscle fibers, separating large chunks of flesh.
The technique was clean and efficient, clearly having been repeated thousands of times.
