The Whole Country Develops a Different World

After noticing the strangeness, both Xia Xuan and the system fell silent.

This silence lasted for a full minute. Xia Xuan took the lead and asked, "Why did your system suddenly become so emotional?"

Xia Xuan didn't ask why the system suddenly had feelings, because after nearly a year of getting along, he had already noticed that the system was not completely emotionless. But the emotion is very weak, if you don't pay attention to observe, you can't find it at all.

So far, Xia Xuan has only one emotion when he sees the system, and that is doubt. The system is puzzled by human beings' various behaviors that violate the survival instinct. For example, when encountering night raids for the first time, the system is puzzled by the group of night raiders who risk their lives for others.

But this time the emotion generated by the system was anger, to be precise, it was hatred of iron. The system's emotions this time are stronger than before, and even without careful observation, one can detect the anger contained in the system's voice.

[The system does not know] The system began to suspect that it was malfunctioning.

"I don't know?" Xia Xuan rubbed his chin, believing what the system said. For some reason, as his strength continued to improve, Xia Xuan gradually formed a concept in his heart that anyone in this world could betray him, but only the system would not.

His position with the system has always been the same, and his will is the will of the system.

"System what you desire now, or repeat what you wished for and hated just now."

[The system hates that the host has been living for the expectations of others; the system hates that the host has been living for civilization; the system hates that the host pours all his love into his own people;]

Without any hesitation, the system repeated what it said just now. It's just that this time the voice is no longer full of emotional fluctuations as before, but has returned to its usual calm.

[The system hopes that the host can live for himself this time, the system hopes that the host can be more selfish this time, and the system hopes that the host will love Daxia as well as himself this time. 】

Always? Can you live for yourself this time? this time?

Xia Xuan immediately grasped the key words in the system's discourse, he obviously just came through time travel, why does the system have to use it all the time? this time?

"What does the system mean? And this time, isn't it the first time I have traveled here?" Xia Xuan asked.

[The system doesn't know, it's just that the system suddenly had this concept indistinctly just now. It feels like the host has been pouring all his love into Da Xia like this. 】

"Is it always like this?" Xia Xuan fell into deep thought.

Thoughts were running fast, and various speculations appeared in the mind of the spinner.

Am I not the first time to cross? Has been devoting all his love to Daxia like now? In other words, the seven or eight traversers in the history of Great Xia were not seniors, but me? !

Xiazu, Xia Shihuang, Xia Dedi, Xiazhengdi, Xiahuodi, Xiagongdi, Xiawendi, these great emperors are all me? Even the empress is me? !

No, no, how can I be a woman, that must not be a time traveler.

If the above conclusions are true, does it mean that I have traveled to this world since Xia Zu. Then after the death of the current body, I will travel to the body of my descendants hundreds of years later?

Wait, that's not right. Historically, the knowledge of every traverser is different. Plus I don't think I have the knowledge to start the Industrial Revolution, invent gunpowder, and I don't even know how to make paper.

With my knowledge reserves and vision beyond that era, the previous emperors may be able to reach their level, but in the end it simply exceeded my own limit.

The conclusion that every time traveler is me is obviously untenable, let alone the empress. It's just that Emperor Xia Huo didn't know how to make black powder or make various artillery. And especially when it came to Emperor Xia Gong, it was even more terrifying, directly starting the industrial revolution.

Xia Xuan thought of all kinds of possibilities, among which the two most probable possibilities were that each traverser was himself and the system made an error.

However, combining various circumstances and one's own abilities, it is obviously impossible for each traverser to be himself. Xia Xuan had a hard time knowing how much he weighed. The achievements of those great emperors have completely exceeded their own knowledge reserves and abilities.

At this time, Xia Xuan's mind suddenly flashed, and he thought of a possibility. This possibility, if it is connected with every time traveler is himself, then it will explain why he can achieve achievements that are completely beyond the scope of his own ability.

If the system was not born at the time of this sentence, but was born from the beginning, it might explain why I can accomplish things that are beyond my own ability.

It doesn't seem right, the function of the system is to open the portal. And if there was a system that could open the portal to another world to capture various technologies from the beginning, Great Xia would have already unified the world.

My current lifespan has reached more than 300 years old. If there was a system in the Xiazu period, shouldn't I die of old age?

Everything fell into a dead end again, and the previous idea collapsed again.

"System, do you think every time traveler is me?"

Xia Xuan expressed his conjecture, rather than pondering over it by himself, it is better to ask the system first.

【The system does not know】

"So system, when were you born?"

[The system doesn't know when it was born. After the host activates the system, the system has a sense of consciousness. 】

[As the host continues to complete tasks, the system's consciousness becomes clearer and clearer until it finally has complete intelligence. 】

"Then I've been pouring my love into the system for Daxia. Could this feeling be your illusion?" Xia Xuan gave another guess.

[Maybe there is an error in the system]

Due to the previous emotional fluctuations, the system suspected that it had made a mistake. It is obviously not normal for it to have anger, which obviously has no emotion.

"Perhaps," Xia Xuan planned not to dwell on this issue anymore, now they don't have any evidence or clues to show that every time traveler is himself. It is obviously impossible to come up with an answer relying on some feelings of the system and one's own guessing.

Instead of continuing to struggle with this issue and wasting time, Xia Xuan was more interested in that new skill.

[True Self] (Active): Unknown.

"What is the effect of the real self skill of the system? Also, I haven't completed the task, and there is no task reward for the real self skill. Could it be that this skill is also borrowed from the dice of fate?" Xia Xuan asked while looking at the skill panel in his mind. .

[True self-skills are not made by the system, but inherent in themselves. The specific effect system of the true self skill is not clear, the system only knows that its meaning is to let the host recognize who he is]

Hearing the system's explanation, Xia Xuan suddenly felt that the possibility of guessing that every previous traverser was himself increased again.

If the previous time travels will fuse the memory of the original body, this skill is indeed needed.

In fact, Xia Xuan is very aware of his state, and now his strength has reached that of a great magician, and his strength is still among the top handful of people. But even with this level of mental power fused with the memory of the original body, Xia Xuan still can't tell who he is.

But fortunately, this influence has become weaker and weaker with the passage of time, and today he has basically got rid of the influence brought by his original body.

Those who have the spiritual power of a great magician will be affected by the memory of the original body, let alone ordinary people.

Looking at the true self skills in the system skills panel, Xia Xuan decided to use them.

[True Self] used.

Xia Xuan just clicked to use the next moment the scene in front of him changed, and the office was broken inch by inch. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to a colorful and mysterious space.

The mysterious space seems to be boundless, with countless colors intertwined, some in the shape of swirls, some in the shape of a rectangle... At the same time, bubbles float around Xia Xuan. There are tens of meters high.

And in each bubble, there are pictures that are constantly flowing.

Before Xia Xuan could react, all the bubbles began to flow. Part of the bubbles began to approach him sharply, surrounding him.

Xia Xuan fixed his eyes and saw the picture inside these bubbles clearly.

Computers, mobile phones, apartments, high-rise buildings, cars, roads, and familiar relatives and friends from previous lives.

All kinds of images emerging from these bubbles are Xia Xuan's memories before time travel. In particular, the images that emerged from the big bubbles are still fresh in his memory, some of which he still remembers to this day.

"This is my memory?" Xia Xuan reached out and poked the head-sized bubble in front of him. This bubble was from his junior high school graduation dinner.

Snapped!

The next moment, all the bubbles around him exploded at the same time. Immediately afterwards, pictures flashed in Xia Xuan's mind, including things he remembered and things he had long forgotten.

These memories flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, giving him a feeling of reliving his life.

After an unknown period of time, Xia Xuan's dull eyes began to focus, and his consciousness was separated from the mysterious space.

At this time, the memory of the true self in the system panel changed.

[True Self] (Active): Go back to the past, see the real self clearly, the remaining number of times is 9.

Cooling time: 29 days and 23 hours

Xia Xuan rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "Things seem to be getting more and more complicated."

"And that empress, it should, it seems, maybe it's not me."

………………

In the early morning of the second day, the capital of water.

With the continuous improvement of road construction, the water capital has become an important hub of the Eastern Xia Empire's transportation network, and more than 100,000 tons of minerals pass through here every day.

At the same time, because the water capital has a beautiful environment and is close to the No. 0 base of the Eastern Xia Empire, thousands of soldiers on vacation choose to come here to rest every day. Because of this, the tourism industry in the country of water has become more prosperous.

Especially these soldiers of the Eastern Xia Empire, in the eyes of hawkers, businessmen, and shopkeepers in the water capital, they are all extremely rich. The Eastern Xia Empire banknotes carried by each of them can buy their shops. The most important thing is that these soldiers of the Eastern Xia Empire don't regard the paper money of the Eastern Xia Empire, which is now equivalent to gold, as money at all, and they spend a lot of money.

This can't be blamed on the soldiers of the Eastern Xia Empire who spent a lot of money. On the contrary, the soldiers felt that it was too cheap no matter how much they spent here. For a soldier of the Eastern Xia Empire, the total amount of eating, drinking and having fun in the city of water is only 10 Xia Yuan. 10 Xia yuan is only a meal fee in China, but here you can eat and drink all day, isn't that cheap?

Not to mention the soldiers who participated in the development plan, not counting various subsidies and bonuses, their daily wages alone reached 300 Xia Yuan. The consumption is so cheap, plus the rare holidays that don't necessarily come once a month, the soldiers must have a good time.

This is one of the benefits of industrial colonization. The Eastern Xia Empire only needs to pay a price that is almost negligible in exchange for the incalculable resources of the Ten Kingdoms.

For example, manpower, the minimum wage standard in the Eastern Xia Empire was 800 yuan per month, which meant that workers had to be paid at least 26.66 yuan a day. As for the people of the Ten Kingdoms, the Eastern Xia Empire only needs to pay them one Xiayuan per day. In conversion, it is equivalent to recruiting 26 able-bodied laborers with the minimum wage of only one Daxia worker.

This situation will become more obvious when the Eastern Xia Empire gradually disintegrates the metal currency system of the Ten Kingdoms and replaces it with the Xia Yuan printed by the Eastern Xia Empire itself.

This was originally an unequal transaction, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it exploitation on Yunxing. But for the people of the ten countries who have been suffering from famine for years and have been invaded by various monsters, they only need to work for one day in exchange for ten days' rations for their families, and they can even save a little spare money. In the past, they didn't even dare to think about it. It would be nice to be able to fill their stomachs every day.

Jingle jingle jingle!

The siren placed on the city gate by the Mineral Mining Department of the City of Water sounded, and the huge bell broke the tranquility of the City of Water, and all the residents woke up from their sleep.

After a while, a resident of the city of water, wearing a yellow helmet and a blue overalls, came out of his house. After saying hello to the nearby workers, they walked towards the east gate together.

"Dad, come back early!" A seven or eight-year-old boy stood at the door and shouted to his father who had just walked out.

Hearing the sound, the boy's father turned around, waved to the little boy, and showed a smile.

"Keff, let's go, or I will be reprimanded by the foreman for being late." The companion next to him said.

"Well," the boy's father turned and followed the footsteps of his fellow workers.

"Hey, I heard that the empire plans to send someone to teach us knowledge." A brown-haired man said.

His words instantly caught the attention of other workers, who asked questions one after another.

"Teach us knowledge? Xia Wen?" said a worker.

His words instantly caught everyone's eyes. Now, for everyone in the Ten Kingdoms, it is equivalent to the words used by the upper class. As long as you know a few words of Xia language, or Xia Wen, your status in the eyes of others will be elevated instantly, like a high-class person.

The main reasons for this phenomenon are, firstly, the strength and weakness of the Eastern Xia Empire, and secondly, the upper classes of the ten countries have begun to take pride in knowing a few words of Xia language, and pop out a few words of plastic Xia language from time to time.

As a result, a strange cognition appeared among the Ten Kingdoms, that speaking Xia language was equal to an upper-class person, and not speaking Xia language was equal to a bumpkin. With the spread of this strange cognition, even some stubborn upper-class people have to learn a few words of Xia language to support their face.

"If this is really the case, then I will seize this opportunity well. When I learn to visit my neighbors, I will use a sentence of Xia dialect to shock them."

"I heard from the manager that we should not only teach Xia Wen, but also select the best workers to teach them how to drive an excavator."

Wow!

"is this real?!"

"Civilians like us can also drive excavators?!"

After becoming a worker of the Eastern Xia Empire and seeing the power of those steel monsters, everyone dreamed that one day they could drive these steel monsters.

The strong should drive the excavator!

The Eastern Xia Empire wanted to teach workers Xia Wen and select the best batch of workers to become excavator drivers. This news quickly swept through the water capital.

After receiving this news, all the workers in the water capital made up their minds. In the next job, I have to put in 200% effort, and I must become the man who drives the excavator.

In this way, a fierce competition began, and everyone worked hard to become the man who drove the excavator.

Among the workers of the water capital, there are quite a few adventurers, who used to fight monsters with sharp knives in high spirits. Forced by life, they changed their armor into blue overalls and their weapons into various digging tools, and they joined the infrastructure of the Eastern Xia Empire.

Most of the adventurers have become honorable foremen by virtue of their strong physiques that have been tempered by fighting monsters in the past.

This is the status quo of most adventurers in the ten countries now, and they can live in this society that does not require their adventurers to clean up monsters. There are only two kinds of people who can get along well. One kind of adventurer with silver medal strength or above joins the Eastern Xia Empire and becomes an excellent teacher of combat skills. The second type of magician is also joining the Eastern Xia Empire to become an excellent magic teacher.

Of course, if you have the strength of a great magician or a gold medal adventurer, the Eastern Xia Empire will give him more generous treatment.

The Temple of Law located in the center of the Water City.

The king of the human kingdom of Grasland, Grasland III, and the Maiden of the Sword sit in the gazebo in the garden.

Graslan III put two bottles of Coke on the stone table, then picked up one of the bottles, unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Sword Saint: "This is a drink of the Eastern Xia Empire that is popular among the nobles recently. It is called Coke. I brought it specially for you to taste."

"The shape of this drink is really strange," the Sword Maiden took a bottle of Coke, then put it to her mouth and took a sip.

"The taste is also very strange, and unexpectedly delicious."

Glassland III smiled and said, "I felt weird and uncomfortable when I first started drinking it, but after drinking a few bottles, I gradually became addicted."

Next, Graslan III and the Sword Maiden began to chat, recalling the days of adventure together.

"Now the Chaos side has been completely resolved by the Eastern Xia Empire. This war that lasted tens of thousands of years is finally over, and the world has returned to peace." Graslan III reached out and touched the sword at his waist that accompanied him through life and death.

"Back then, I naively thought about using my own sword to end this battle, but I didn't expect that we would disband before we even saw the Demon God King."

"It's all right now, the world has returned to calm, and everyone is beginning to move towards happiness."

The Sword Maiden nodded and said, "Indeed, I can feel that the people of the City of Water are getting happier and happier."

"Let everyone live a stable and happy life. This was the ideal of our team. It's just..." Glassland III changed his voice and continued pointedly.

"It's just that some people don't want to see this progressively better world."

"..." The Sword Maiden paused for a moment, but did not answer. She knew what this former teammate was talking about.

Graslan III didn't seem to notice her, and continued: "I will never allow anyone to destroy this hard-won peace. But some people are blinded by the glory of the past, just like those newcomer adventurers who go hunting Like a goblin, he is blindly arrogant and does not know how to live or die."

Hearing the word Goblin, the heart of the Sword Maiden jumped suddenly, and her body trembled twice.

"The Saint of the Sword," Graslan III turned his head and took a deep look at the Saint of the Sword. "I have lost too many companions, and I don't want to see them die again."

Graslan III got up and tidied up, turned his back to the Maiden of the Sword and said, "Because of the cults and underground monsters that have sprung up all over the Ten Kingdoms, the empire can no longer tolerate the existence of the church. After a while, the empire should come to send a message , I hope you accept that the empire's request is nothing more than a doctrine, not as important as life."

After speaking, Graslan III quickly left the garden.

In the afternoon, the five major churches received orders from the Eastern Xia Empire to acquire and change their teachings. This time the empire no longer concealed and directly issued orders, allowing the church to make a choice.

Among them, the Church of the Goddess of Knowledge does not have any consent that contradicts both hands and feet. Under the instructions of the Goddess of Knowledge, all magicians who now support the Church of the Goddess have joined the Eastern Xia Empire. The Church of the Supreme God was the second church to agree to the request of the Eastern Xia Empire. Although many high-level church members opposed it, they were suppressed by the Saintess of the Sword.

When the other three churches planned to fight desperately to show their beliefs, the Supreme God and the other three goddesses sent divine revelations respectively. After that, the remaining three churches did not resist any more, and agreed to the request of the Eastern Xia Empire.

Although the four goddesses did not go crazy with the goddess of knowledge, after all, it is too dangerous to give up the position of god. But recently, the dice of fate's continuous shots violated the rules of the game, which made the four goddesses feel a sense of crisis. They began to look for a way out for themselves, to prevent the dice of fate from hitting them one day regardless of the rules of the game.

………

Cut the red pupil world, the imperial capital, the fashion laboratory.

Dr. Fashion sat on a pink chair, looked at the eyes of the test subject squatting in front of him, and asked, "You mean, you discovered the base of the night raid?"

"Hmm!" The test subject nodded repeatedly, "I was looking for suitable dangerous species on the outskirts of the imperial capital as usual, and suddenly I saw a suspicious person walking through the forest 1 kilometer away."

"So I followed up stealthily, and finally when I chased to a hillside, the suspicious figure suddenly disappeared."

"At that time, I was very puzzled. The figure just got behind a big tree and then suddenly disappeared. So I started looking around, and in the process of searching, I accidentally saw a wooden house in the forest."

"Through the window, the subordinates saw that the cabin was full of night raiders."

After the subject's eye reported, the subject's nose with a huge red nose asked, "Doctor, shall we inform General Esdeth?"

"Hmm..." Dr. Fashion was lost in thought, he is now hesitating whether to inform General Esdes. If General Esdece is notified, then he will not be able to get members of the Night Raid for human experiments.

And going alone, I seem to be unable to fight the night attack.

Half a minute later, the Doctor of Fashion suddenly stood up from the chair, pinched an orchid finger, and said with firm eyes: "Relying on one's own strength to fight for what one wants is the quality that a fashionable man should have."

After speaking, the fashion doctor raised his hand and stroked his cheek with a look of intoxication.

"Ah~ the most fashionable man in the imperial capital is not afraid of hardships in order to get what he wants, and faces the night attack of the notorious killer organization alone. This is really too fashionable! I am indeed the most fashionable man in the empire!"

This is the reason why Dr. Fashion did not notify the special security forces, but directly went to encircle and suppress the night raid by himself.

Still the same sentence, because Dr. Fashion thinks this is very fashionable.

Hearing this, the experimental subjects around looked at Dr. Fashion with admiration.

"As expected of a doctor!"

"The doctor is indeed the most fashionable man in the empire!"

"Doctor, doctor!"

The Doctor of Fashion waved his hand high-spiritedly, and said: "The fashionable legion is preparing for the battle, release all the experimental subjects, tomorrow we will catch the night raider, I will make this group of notorious killers fashionable."

"Yes, Doctor!"

"Night Raider, get ready to meet the most fashionable men in the empire." The fashion doctor smiled slightly.

However, what greeted him tomorrow was not a night raid, but a net from the Eastern Xia Empire. Doctor of Fashion will get it tomorrow, a day trip to the Happy White House of the Dongxia Empire.

Some books are said to be expensive. Novels are priced according to the number of words, not mine, 5 cents for 1,000 words.
