"The election date for the leader of the Golden Picture Alliance has been brought forward, and the campaign teams of the two major individual candidates are in place..."

"The world is facing the worst winter in eighty years, and the spokesperson of the Shejihui Menxia Information Hall emphasized that Sheji City has sufficient winter resources, with enough food, medicine, and crystal cores to be consumed until March next year. Regarding the fresh vegetables and fruits that citizens are most concerned about,

The reserves are also abundant. The spokesperson of Shejicheng said that citizens do not need to panic and queue up to buy supplies..."

"All the supermarkets in Zijin City were emptied out, and a large number of homeless people illegally gathered in front of the city gate of Zijin City, demanding that Mengtang solve the problem of livelihood during the winter. Currently, those who instigated this incident have been arrested by the Purple City Security Department in accordance with the law..."

"The spokesperson of the Dragon Slaying Society said that the Dragon Slaying Society fights for the livelihood and well-being of people around the world, and is by no means a terrorist organization as defined unilaterally by the Golden Alliance and its allies in the past three years. The spokesman said that the cold winter is coming, and in order to ensure the safety of all mankind during the winter, the Dragon Slaying Society

We are willing to suspend the jihad and verbally reach a ceasefire agreement with the Golden Alliance special forces. We hope that the relevant departments of the Golden Alliance will not insist on going their own way and continue to harm the large number of Rat Alliance people who are homeless in the winter at the expense of the majority of civilians around the world..."

"A death occurred in the center of Hualun Tianlong City yesterday. A twelve-year-old girl was found dead in the underground garage of a shopping mall. The blood in the girl's body was sucked dry. It is currently suspected that it was caused by a phantom creature, or something related to it.

The large-scale layoff of security personnel in this area is directly related to it. Currently, the Hualun Tianlong City police have intervened in the investigation, and citizens who live nearby are also asked to pay attention to their safety..."

In mid-October, when the Golden Alliance was snowing heavily, the seemingly lifeless world was actually a bit noisy in terms of public opinion. When the cold swept across the world, many issues that had been hidden by various alliance halls in every possible way were finally exposed one after another.

The election of the leader of the Golden Alliance seems to be less important against the background of this picture.

Whether it is the Gold Alliance, the Silver Alliance, or other small places, the common people at the bottom are more or less aware that this winter is very unusual compared to usual. Even if some disasters have not really broken out on a large scale,

Most people are living a life that is not much different from usual days, but the inexplicable pressure and danger hidden in the air are so obvious.

Underground in the ancient castle on the southern outskirts of Warren Dragon City, Tang Wei was lying on the operating bed, listening to the news broadcast on the video screen.

General Colin stood beside him, pricking silver needles all over his body.

Looking at the black lines emerging from Tang Wei's body, Colin said solemnly: "General Tang, I remember I reminded you that you can't continue to absorb souls. If you continue like this, you will really mutate sooner or later...

"

"I have no other choice." Tang Weidan said calmly, "That cursed spirit almost killed me. I didn't expect that the gap between me and that monster would be so big."

"You are already powerful enough." Colin said, "In human history, you are the second person in human history, besides myths and legends, who has official records and can survive a one-on-one confrontation with a cursed spirit body."

Tang Wei lay still, silent for a moment, and asked: "If Zhao Jiuzhou encounters such a monster, do you think he can do it?"

"I don't know." Colin replied, "I will not make judgments on issues without exact conditions. This is not in line with my principles."

While he was talking, he finished pricking the needle in his hand, walked to the side and sat down. Looking at Tang Wei who was lying on his back, he continued calmly: "General Tang, if you were Fondel, would you run for the leader of the alliance?"

"I will." Tang Wei said without thinking, "If I have his power and the support of his family, why not?"

Colin said: "Then, after you become the leader of the alliance, what do you want to do?"

"Being the leader of the alliance...isn't it the same as being the leader of the alliance?" Tang Wei said, "I am the only one in the world. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Whatever you want, you can do it. Isn't this the freedom you, the people of the Golden Alliance, have always said?

?”

Colin smiled: "Yes."

He stood up and said goodbye: "Half an hour is enough for the needle on your body. The security department will suppress the little girl's matter, but it must not happen a second time. Not everyone in the security department

He is one of ours. I only hope to see you catching that monster in the news, but I definitely don’t want to see the news that you are wanted. No one in this world can compete with the Silver Alliance and the Gold Alliance at the same time.

Even if Mengtang does it right, Zhao Jiuzhou can’t do it either.”

After Tang Wei listened silently, Colin turned and walked towards the stairs.

The hard leather shoes echoed in this empty and slightly gloomy bunker.

When Colin walked along the spiral stone staircase, he reached the halfway point of the staircase.

Tang Wei suddenly said: "Colin, what do you want to get from me?"

Colin stopped and stood on the stairs, looking down at Tang Wei who was like an experimental subject. He was silent for a few seconds and then said calmly: "It's a dream, but don't worry, it won't cause any harm to you. Your

Destiny is only in your own hands. I am just a humble technocrat who hopes to see the results of his scientific research blossom into flowers one day."

…

"What's wrong with technology?" On the lawn of Zijin City Manor, Zhao Jiuzhou said calmly while looking at the children rolling in the snow.

Zijin City, located in the south of the Silver League, experienced a heavy snowfall last night. Guanjia and Shuangshuang, who have grown enough to run around, are full of curiosity and joy about the snow. Think about this time last year, these little guys

, I could only watch the flying snow in the sky and scream, but only a year later, I was able to have snowball fights.

"Young Master!"

The cute maid and nanny specially assigned to the children, intentionally or unintentionally let out excited screams in front of Zhao Jiuzhou.

Zhao Jiuzhou turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear. He put his arms around the shoulders of An An, the common "aunt" among the children in the family, and said to himself: "Technology, once you learn it, it will always be yours. That is the foundation for a life."

.

Don’t think that our family can really continue to be so awesome forever. It’s impossible. The thing in this world is to eat together. The whole family eats together. It can last for thirty years, it can last for a hundred years, but three hundred years.

, what about five hundred years? There is always time to break up. These little guys will grow as tall as me in a few years. When they mature, Guanjia and Shuping will miss women, Shuangshuang and Sian

They will think about men, who want to start a family, start a career, and have children of their own..."

Zhao Jiuzhou's other hand reached out to Liu Yanyan's waist, hugging him on the left and right, "I assume I can live for another hundred years, I can still be awesome for a hundred years, and I can control the glory of Guanjia and their generation.

They will be rich until they die, and their children will be prosperous and wealthy until they grow old, but what about the children of their children? That's hard to say. I will kick my legs when the time comes. No matter how big the family property is, it must be divided cleanly. But even if it is divided,

No matter how little you get, in their hands, it will still be an astronomical figure.

But money is yours if you have the ability to guard it. If you don’t have the ability, it will be a disaster. Don’t say that my face is useless then, as long as someone really wants to kill them, except them

You, no one can protect them. Any talk of ancestors’ blessing is nonsense. What does ancestors’ blessing mean? Your ancestors are telling you today that once you learn this skill, you will at least protect yourself from worries in the future. It will be passed down from generation to generation until society

When this skill has developed to the point where it is no longer useful, this is called the blessing of the ancestors.

I tell the truth, none of the children in our family will be as powerful as me in the future. My ability was acquired purely by chance. This kind of luck cannot be copied again. In the future, each of them will, after all,

They are all ordinary people. They just have a great father. What I can really leave to them is not these industries, but the ability to control these industries.

I actually don’t expect them to be so awesome at all. No matter how awesome people are, they are just that in my eyes. I just hope that they can live a peaceful life.

It means being smooth and happy. No matter how many years have passed, you have the ability to keep yourself. Don’t cause trouble to others, and don’t ask them to make much contribution to the world. Eat well, wear good clothes, and don’t do anything for others.

If you have to worry about your livelihood, you can have some small hobbies to kill time and some small ideals to pursue, that’s enough.”

"Are you too pessimistic?" Liu Yanyan asked, "Are your requirements for your children a little too low?"

"Is it low?" Zhao Jiuzhou turned to look at Liu Yanyan's charming side face and said calmly, "Isn't this what people live for? Eat well and wear well, otherwise? Most people in this world

Ordinary people, what ideals and dreams can we talk about? Do we have the ability to realize them? No. It is nothing more than giving ourselves a reason to live a good life.

As a human being, you either deceive yourself or you are willing to be deceived by society.

As long as you don't have enough ability to dominate this world, you can only follow the pace of this world. Do you know how the name Silver Award Alliance came about? Do you know how the name Gold Picture Alliance came about?"

This question is a bit inconsistent.

An An and Liu Yanyan shook their heads together.

Zhao Jiuzhou said unhurriedly: "A long time ago, these two alliances did not have the two prefixes silver and gold before their names. In the beginning, it was the Golden Alliance who wanted to dominate the world, so they gave themselves

They were given the title of Gold. At the beginning, they were not called the Picture Alliance. In our translation, they were called the Slaughter and Deception Alliance. Massacre and deception were their methods of establishing an alliance and also the process of establishing an alliance. It was not until later that they won the war.

, the whole world was forced to change their name to the Golden Picture Alliance.

After winning, they originally wanted to continue winning, but unfortunately they met the reward alliance. The word reward means to encourage and reward etiquette virtues, and it must be reasonable. Liang Zaixing withstood the extremely difficult environment.

pressure from the Golden Alliance.

The Golden Alliance is like a dog biting a hedgehog, and it can't eat the Prize Alliance, but it refuses to give up its world leadership, so it forcibly puts the word silver on the Prize Alliance's head. This means that the Silver Alliance will always follow the Golden Alliance.

The people of the Silver League admit that they are second in the world. This name has been shouted for two hundred years. Now, you see, the people of the Silver League admit that they are second in the world. Their enterprising spirit has disappeared invisibly, and they have been replaced by those of the Gold League.

The public opinion offensive has been castrated.

What is this called? This is the meaning that society gives to life. This is called the general trend. In one hundred or two hundred years, no matter how awesome people are, they will die one day, but the general trend of the world and the general trend of history cannot be stopped.

.The meanings that the world forcibly assigns to you cannot be resisted by ordinary people and can only be accepted unconditionally.

These children in our family are very lucky to be my children. They stand in front of the wave of the times, are pushed by the general trend, and can win even if they lie down. Of course, they also have the power to bargain with the world. But the situation will change.

Yes, your children's children will encounter changing situations in the future. When the time comes, they will not have the ability to settle down and survive. What will they do to face the environment at that time?

If they have neither enough force nor the wisdom to hold on to their wealth, then why should they continue to live a good life? With so many resources in their hands that they cannot hold on to, they will become the target of the times. The times.

When the wave comes crashing down, they are the first ones to be washed away.

But thinking about it on the other hand, what if they could calmly accept the reality that they are just ordinary people and live like ordinary people? Wouldn't the risk of being overwhelmed by the times be smaller?

On a smaller scale, you can develop some life service technology, garbage disposal and recycling, water purification, energy, or even some home appliances. If you have some ancestral connections, you can also develop some military technology, build some robots, and play with yourself.

If you understand some technology, you will naturally know where to spend money and how to use your hands. Then the money in your hands will not be so hot. Even if you have no money in your hands, but you have some skills around you, will you still be able to survive?

Can we continue to live? The worst thing is, we can’t live in such a big house.”

When Zhao Jiuzhou said this, he paused.

An An couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, you think so much..."

Zhao Jiuzhou said quietly: "I am twenty years old this year and have five children. I can't help but think about it."

An An touched her belly and whispered: "Six..."

Liu Yanyan added, "Seven."

Zhao Jiuzhou looked at the two of them and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.
