From star abyss

The white dragon-born woman is unexpectedly strong.

She was a little reserved at first, as if she was not used to sharing a table with others, and she seemed to be hoping to ease the awkwardness of the atmosphere through chatting.

But for some reason, when they started chatting, Li Ozi found that the other person had some concepts similar to his own when he was young, or even to Li Ozi.

In order to prevent a good young woman from going astray and discovering that she can't even enjoy life when she is old, Leos quickly started to dissuade her and avoid the next Leos from appearing.

This kind of efficiency is amazing, just having him is enough.

"Man can conquer heaven - it seems like, when did man conquer heaven?"

Li Ozi took a sip of lemon soda and complained:

"I'm not trying to hit you. You seem to have just joined the society, right? At the beginning, I was also full of enthusiasm. I always felt that the world was vast and free. I made some achievements with my efforts, but it was not enough at all. I have to rely on the help of others. Even so, now I can barely compete with the descendants of those big shots on the same starting line."

"This world is very cruel. Your personal efforts may not be recognized, but your desire to serve the country will be regarded with suspicion and denial. When you really make achievements, someone else wants to come and pluck you to share the credit. .”

"Do you want to compete with others? Do you think you can outcompete others by relying on efficiency? That is not cost-effective. In the end, when you look back, you will find that apart from competition and fighting, there are no warm moments in your life that are worthy of nostalgia."

"You are from the Deep Shadow Blood Dragon. It should not be easy for you to reach this point. I understand."

The white dragon woman said:

"In a sense, you are right. Although I am very specialized in the field I am good at, I am still a novice in terms of social experience. I understand all the suggestions you said, but."

She paused, her lips moved, and her eyes subconsciously wandered. Li Ozi noticed a trace of wavering in her eyes, trying his best to cover up her fatigue.

"If, if you have some unique abilities, there are some things that only you can do. For example, if you are a father, only you can support your family and protect your wife and children. But if you don't do it and let the disaster happen, Watching others suffer and even die because of your inaction...you will regret it."

"But you can be more cold-blooded. As long as you don't care about morality, nothing can threaten you."

"Then if everyone is a cold-blooded animal, how can society progress?"

"There's no need to worry about those things. Under the grand narrative, you have to leave some room for your own life."

Li Ozi said:

"Besides, if you just rely on blindly squeezing yourself to get results, people will think, 'I can do this, but I just don't work hard.' Hard work is worthless, and anyone can work hard."

"But your value is unique. You are the only one in this world. If you don't even cherish your own body, you will rely on crazily squeezing this body to prove to others, 'Look, how hard I work, I have been Making progress'."

"At first, people will admire you because you are always making progress. Then, people will feel numb and take your progress for granted. Later, when you are tired and take a rest, they will tease you, 'Why can't you roll?' '. You should be an independent existence, rather than living for others."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found his ice blue vertical pupils staring deeply at him.

"Well, what I said may be a bit harsh..."

"fine."

The woman picked up the water glass and drank the ice water:

"I can still tell who treats me well, who doesn't like me, and who cares about me."

"Actually, others don't care about you. The comments they occasionally make seem to be pungent, sarcastic, and targeted. In fact, after a week, they have forgotten who they said it to."

Li Ozi shrugged:

"Change the subject - do you like tea?"

The other party shook his head:

"No, I don't have a favorite drink. Drinking water is enough. Everything is practical."

"Practicality is of course good, but I think sometimes a little spice might add some surprises to life."

White Dragon Girl opened her mouth and said:

"That kind of thing makes no sense..."

"No, you just got it wrong."

Li Ozi analyzed the other party seriously:

"In this world, there has always been motivation to make progress because of need. Just imagine, if you and I are from well-off families, pure-blooded high-level dragons, we enjoy endless glory and wealth as soon as we are born, and everything in our lives is controlled by our elders and parents. The arrangements have been made - do you think, in this kind of living situation, you will still work hard like this?"

"Then why can't everyone stop working hard? It's not because there aren't such good things in the world."

White Dragon Girl looked at him:

"If crises were not everywhere, who would think about working hard? It is precisely because each generation has its own problems that it must continue to struggle... Moreover, even if there is no crisis, people will still have various contradictions and eat When you are full, you will want to read. After reading the book, you feel that it is not enough, and you also want concrete paintings. Later, you want the picture to move, and you want to participate in the picture yourself..."

As he spoke, the other party fell silent.

If you continue to say this, it seems to be the same as what the other person said.

The harder you work now, the more you will not work hard in the future.

But, but!

She pinched the corner of her clothes, not knowing what to say.

"Look, isn't this what I said?"

Li Ozi smiled.

"I……"

The White Dragon Girl was clumsy and always felt that there was something wrong, but after a long time, she just didn’t know how to formulate a verbal rebuttal, so she had to say:

"I think this is not the only demand. Among those wealthy and powerful people, there will also be those who want to expand their territory, make contributions, and go further. Many times, it is precisely because everyone in society works together that we can achieve success. It can promote the progress of civilization."

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to dampen your confidence." Li Ozi said with a smile: "I just think that as a young dragon, you are too nervous."

"Then I still think," the white dragon girl looked at him: "You look young, why do you think like an old man like Sodore?"

"Me? I must be older than you."

"It's hard to say. In my opinion, you might just be pretending to be serious."

"Then how old are you?" Li Ozi asked angrily.

"Are you sure you want to ask the girl her age?"

"Please, you started the topic first. Why don't you dare to pick it up?"

"…Yes, really?"

After noticing that she was at a loss, the white dragon girl picked up the water glass and looked away.

"Hmm?" Li Ozi raised his eyebrows and closed the menu in his hand: "Why don't you answer? You are really younger than me, but you want to follow me, an old man who has failed in the middle of his business?" Uncle, can you talk about the principles of life?"

"I……"

After thinking for a long time, she finally found a reason:

"Why should I tell a dragonborn who is sharing a table my age?"

"All right."

Li Ozi sighed:

"I should have known from the day I came out of Shuangplating that there is no way to reason with women."

White Dragon Girl turned her head, thought for a moment, and said:

"No, it's just that I don't think the relationship reaches that level. Age...and a girl's age is a secret."

When she talked about the 'secret', the white dragon girl trembled all over.

"What's wrong?"

"No, I just feel a lot of goosebumps."

"You, a polar white dragon, would feel cold on such a sunny day?"

"No, I just feel disgusted by myself."

White Dragon Girl took a sip of water, was silent for a moment, and said:

"I have always felt that I cannot be like those ordinary female dragons. Their minds are full of mating, hatching eggs and hoarding treasures. They just sit there and wait for the males to fight to the death for themselves, and then show off a little to arouse their desires. , and then you can enjoy it for a lifetime.”

"What you say is a bit too hurtful. Courtship is also a part of the natural phenomenon. Fighting with each other to prove that one's genes are excellent and eliminating weak genes is responsible for the entire group."

"Then why is there a marriage law now?"

"Because even if you are poor, you will be eliminated."

Li Ozi said:

"In the past, you were strong. Now you are rich and intelligent. With your path... people are always making progress."

"So," Bailong said, holding the cup, "I don't want to be eliminated."

"You are a female, what are you afraid of?"

"What should I do if I am a female and my child is a male? Social competition is a spiral. Once entered, it cannot be stopped unless such a spiral is completely ended - but as you said, such a spiral is an objective law. .”

Bailong turned the cup and said as if he was talking:

"A race like ours, the Dragon Clan, is ancient, powerful, and wealthy, but it will also face such a crisis. It may even be in crisis now. If every Dragon Clan citizen is like you said, they are destined to face decline or even death. , simply quit and let others slaughter us, then what is the difference between us and domestic animals?"

"... (Chinese) Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs."

Li Ozi suddenly said something.

Bailong looked at him:

"What did you just say? The sonorous and powerful language and the tone are so strange."

"It means that the laws of nature have no mercy. Xingyuan treats everything like a dog with grass, and treats all living things equally."

Li Ozi said.
