"But the strength of the entire world has far exceeded that of the past. Even if the Huangtian World really comes, we are still enough to fight against it..."

Chu Qiguang sighed. Everything Jin Nu said still gave him an unbelievable sense of emptiness and strangeness.

He said in a complicated tone: "By the way, I forgot to ask you...how long have I been hibernating?"

"Mr. Chu, from the 29th year of Yong'an to the 43rd year of Xinhan, you have been hibernating for a total of 52 years."

…

On the streets of Night City.

Chu Qiguang's eyes were full of colors and shining with seven-colored light.

Under the projection of Monternet, various advertisements flash from time to time on the walls, on the floor, in the car, and even on some people's bodies.

Before he hibernated, Night City was still dominated by bungalows, but now all he could see were high-rise buildings with hundreds of floors.

There are both people and monsters on the street, and from Chu Qiguang's observation, each of them is a warrior of the first level.

He walked on the street for a long time, but he never saw a person or demon without a foundation in martial arts, but he also never saw a warrior who was above the first level. This ratio made Chu Qiguang feel a little strange.

In the past few days, Chu Qiguang began to leave Salo Palace and walk around the Night City to observe.

And everything is just like what Qiao Zhi and Jin Nu said, the people live a prosperous life, each person has a level of warrior, all physical labor has been replaced by Qi and blood machines, and most people's life is different entertainment every day.

However, according to Chu Qiguang's observation, it seems that few people are focusing on practicing martial arts and Taoism.

In fact, Taoism and martial arts in today's world have become like scientific research. Most people only cultivate to the first level in school, and basically there will be no progress after graduation.

After all, nowadays, in everyone's eyes, battles have been left to Qi and blood weapons by default.

Ordinarily, even if you want to obtain some extraordinary power, you can directly rent the magical powers that are popular in the world, or you can undergo some physical transformation, use Qi and blood weapons, etc.

As for those in ancient times who devoted themselves to hard work and pursuit of realm, and the whole society respected the strong, today's people regard it as the dregs of feudalism and involution caused by backward technological levels.

So much so that no one cares about Chu Qiguang's current realm and cultivation. Compared with his realm, the current Chamber of Commerce management seems to be more worried about whether he will intervene in the daily operations and management of the Chamber of Commerce.

Next to Chu Qiguang was a girl with fox ears and a fox tail. The girl stared at Chu Qiguang non-stop and said, "Mr. Chu, I feel that you...have never been happy?

"

Chu Qiguang glanced at the other party. According to his bloodline, this fox demon was a descendant of Thirteen Niangs. He was sent by the Chamber of Commerce to help him adapt to modern life.

After hearing what the other party said, Chu Qiguang said nothing.

The fox girl then said: "The situation you are in now is common to many long-term hibernators. It is a psychological problem caused by deviations in time and memory."

"You have to learn to relax. It's not like it was decades ago. The war has been fought and there is no need to practice martial arts or Taoism."

"Just enjoy your old age with peace of mind."

"You are the richest man in the world."

Chu Qiguang glanced at the passers-by and asked, "Is the battle not over yet? The Emperor's World may come at any time."

The fox girl said: "They don't dare to start a war with us even after they come. If you don't believe it, just read the analysis of other experts."

Along with the operation of Montnets, a video appeared directly in front of Chu Qiguang, much like some online program.

One of them analyzed: "...Our tenth Demon Control Mountain will be officially put into operation next year. This Demon Control Mountain uses the latest Qi and blood technology and can hit thousands of miles away in one breath."

"When Huangtian World arrives, most of them will be killed by over-the-horizon strikes before they even see us."

"The level of Taoism in Huangtian World has lagged behind ours."

"The Qi and Blood Workshop in Night City has already deciphered the composition of the Son of Emperor Tian and is able to cultivate the Son of Emperor Tian on its own. They also extracted the memories of the Son of Emperor Tian for analysis."

"The imperial class in the world has been seriously solidified, the society is lifeless, and Taoism and martial arts have not developed for thousands of years."

"And our society respects the freedom and intelligence of every individual and inspires the potential of all citizens."

"Every step of social development will be fed back to the citizens, so we will develop faster and faster, and eventually we will be far behind the religious development model of Huangtian World."

Then the fox girl dug out another news video:

"We must build 20 more Demon Taming Mountains! Immortal Li Yaofeng: We should build more super weapons to deal with the threat of Emperor Tian, ​​and the whole society should increase investment in Taoist research... The share price of Bad Kong Workshop rose by 5.8 that day.

…”

He looked at the fox girl aside and asked, "Where did the news you were watching come from? It seems a little different from what I have been watching these past few days."

The fox girl said: "Oh, that was summarized by some folk media in Dream Network..."

Chu Qiguang: "Let's take a look, those news seem quite interesting."

After hearing this, the fox girl called up other online news.

"From now on in New God Capital, all elementary and intermediate public martial arts schools in the province will suspend after-school make-up classes. Any in-service teachers are prohibited from teaching martial arts above level two, but private martial arts schools and off-campus training will not be affected by this. We recommend that all apprentices register for the martial arts temple.

, there is one-on-one guidance from professional Wu Jinshi..."

"Anti-martial arts organizations once again protested against the overburden in the school, and accused the school of allowing students to practice for more than two hours a month in order to improve student performance, increasing the risk of demon contamination..."

"The environmental protection organization Four Seasons issued an initiative online, believing that magic contamination is still on the rise around the world. In order to reduce magic contamination, the spread of martial arts and Taoism to ordinary people should be completely banned, and we must beware of the side effects of knowledge!"

"Qingyang Pharmaceutical announced its delisting. Its market value has shrunk by 95% since its listing. The chairman is currently hibernating. It seems that this liar has spent all his energy and blood..."

"Yesterday, a male delivery man from the Dragon tribe of Dragon Island used lethal martial arts to injure many human students in an undersea apartment. The suspect has been arrested."

"His followers on Mengwang have exceeded 100,000. Dragon Quan Organization has expressed concern and believes that he suffered unfair treatment during the trial. Please stay tuned to this station for his live trial..."

At this moment, the fox girl seemed to be listening to something, then closed the news page and said: "There is nothing interesting to see later."

"Anyway, don't worry. Today's blood weapons are much more powerful than in ancient times. No matter how strong an individual is, it's useless."

"Those who take the path of individual strength like Huangtian World will only get harder and harder."

"Our society develops the subjective initiative of each individual and gathers the wisdom of all people. Our development model far exceeds the feudal and superstitious model of the Huangtian World."

"Because our development will continue to feed back to everyone, it will develop faster and faster, and it will continue to accelerate..."

What the fox girl said is also the current consensus of most people, that is, the current development model of the Han Dynasty is far superior to that of the Huangtian World, and it is the most excellent social system from ancient times to the present.

Chu Qiguang said again: "What if we can't beat him?"

The fox girl said: "Then we can also use the Buddhist world to escape..."

It is said that under the research led by Jiaojiao, the Chamber of Commerce has found a way to control the Buddhist world. If the war is unfavorable, it can take all the people to escape from this world at any time.

Therefore, the development of the entire society is now concentrated in the Buddhist world, and the original material world has turned into large areas of farmland and various natural environment reserves.

All of Chu Qiguang's past plans seemed to have come true, but there was always a feeling that something was wrong in his heart.

…

"Brother Dog, you finally woke up!"

Appearing in front of Chu Qiguang was a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair. He took Chu Qiguang's palm and said excitedly: "I am Chen Gang, do you still remember me?"

Chu Qiguang: "I'm just hibernating, and I don't have Alzheimer's disease. How come I don't remember you?"

Chen Gang scratched his head in embarrassment: "I heard Master Qiao say that you lost your memory, and I thought you didn't remember me."

Chu Qiguang said: "How long have you been hibernating? When did you wake up?"

Chen Gang said: "I have always been in short-term hibernation and long-term hibernation... I always feel that things have changed when I wake up. I don't dare. Brother Gou, you are so brave. You can sleep for decades."

Chu Qiguang said in an inexplicable tone: "Really?"

Chen Gang said: "Yes, after many people hibernated for a long time, their sons turned into fathers, and fathers turned into sons. The relationship between relatives and friends was so messed up that it was impossible to explain."

Chu Qiguang asked: "What do you think of the world now?"

Chen Gang said: "Of course it's good. As long as we eat and drink every day, we are much happier than we were then..."

Just then, there was a noise coming from ahead.

Chu Qiguang asked: "What happened?"

The fox girl on the side stretched out her hand, and lines of pictures and text appeared in front of them.

"It seems that the racial equality organization is protesting the Donghai Chamber of Commerce's invisible discrimination against non-human races, demanding a salary increase of 12% for all non-human races..."

Chu Qiguang said: "Didn't it mean that humans and demons join hands and the conflict between humans and demons is gone?"

Fox Girl: "Different races have to pursue their own interests. Everyone can speak freely and express their demands freely. It will not affect the friendship between humans and monsters."

Then I saw all kinds of monsters coming in front of me like a tide.

Chu Qiguang left with Chen Gang and the fox girl, but suddenly he sensed someone breaking through the crowd and approaching him.

Then, a familiar voice sounded in his heart: "Chu Qiguang, it's me."

"Master Qiao? Aren't you in the Sala Palace?"

The other party said: "How could I be that fat guy? That's a fake."

"Chu Qiguang, this world is far from being as beautiful as it seems on the surface. On the contrary, there are huge problems."

"You are the true owner of the Chamber of Commerce, and also the true owner of Blood Pond, Universal Access, and Cave Heaven Paradise."

"It's just you now..."

The other party's voice disappeared instantly, as if it had been cut off by something.
