Luo Nan remained silent amidst Blood Demon's laughter.
On the other hand, Takar's eyeballs moved slightly to the side. He swept a glance at the clock on the wall. While he was calculating, Blood Demon slapped his thigh.
"Stop looking. Since your Uncle Luo has made up his mind to walk an unusual path, you, as his nephew, should support him no matter what."
This time, Takar sucked in a breath of cold air. "Uncle Blood, we need to consider this matter at length …."
But Blood Demon had already tossed him to the side. He gave Luo Nan a thumbs up. "That's right. Compared to the new plane, this auction item is nothing. Even if you forcefully take it away, the vast majority of people here won't take the risk of starting a war with you. They won't really fight with you. This line of thought is definitely correct! "
Luo Nan shot him a glance and finally spoke. "I didn't think that much."
"No, no, no. You need to think. You need to think more. You need to think more!"
Blood Demon's current mood was hypnotized. He began to wave his arm forcefully. "It's not enough for you to think one level. You need to continue going deeper. After all, things like value may not always be considered on a rational level. Emotions and the atmosphere of the scene are very important. "
"People who don't want to offend you won't get involved in the beginning. Who would be willing to 'bid' against you? They won't be afraid of those who are your enemies …. But what's the point of them getting their hands on it? With a demonic star like you shining high above, who would be able to restart their research in that laboratory in the wilderness?
"Therefore, I'm ninety percent certain that no matter how many twists and turns the process is, this auction item will ultimately fall into your hands. But the problem is that the most important thing is the process. It's the process of them torturing you! "
Luo Nan raised an eyebrow. "Torturing?"
"Isn't it torturing? Your thinking and emotional logic. Do you think that the people who will participate in the auction, the people who will oppose you, will be able to match up? "
"Perhaps you can squash 99.9% of the people on the cruise ship like ants. But the remaining 0.1%, the few most decisive fellows, won't be able to do anything to them in a short amount of time.
"If you don't make a move, you'll be suffocated to the point of exploding. If you do make a move, there's not much meaning. You can threaten them, and they can threaten you. Then, you would constantly lower your expectations, and the other side would also gradually lower their claims. Finally, you would reach a plausible agreement. Then, you would discover that the equipment on the surface was actually related to the 'new plane.'
"In this way, they have infiltrated your established position. Then, the Round Table Conference that was interrupted a few days ago can be reconvened at any time. And you have already lost your front line. That's right, this is a complete set of negotiation tactics!
"They can't attack your physical body. At the moment, no one, at least the people 'opposite' you definitely don't want to start a fight with you at a time like this, when you have the resolve to fight to the death. But for some people who like to play tricks, destroying your psychological defenses while achieving their basic goals is also a glorious battle result! "
There were no fluctuations in Luo Nan's facial expression. Even if there were fluctuations, as long as Luo Nan didn't want to, Luo Nan wouldn't be able to see anything unless the blood demon stretched his neck all the way to Ban City.
He simply said, "Mr. Blood Demon, do you mean that if we don't want to do what they want, we should just ignore everything and start a war?"
The Blood Demon chuckled.
Luo Nan laughed as well. "Don't blame me for thinking too much. I can't help but think that if we really fight, it would be to your liking?"
This level of honesty was completely unable to pierce through the skin of the blood demon's face. Perhaps it had not truly pierced his thoughts. Luo Nan just smirked. "You're saying that I want to see the world in chaos? Wrong!
"The truth is that you can't fight.
"You've broken through the small procedures of the auction, but there's a big rule waiting for you! It is the general principle of doing things in the inner world and even on Earth. It is a written or unwritten rule. Under normal circumstances, I will abide by it. The Martial Emperor will abide by it. Ouyang will abide by it. The other side will abide by it …. You also need to abide by it.
"Do you know who made this rule?"
Luo Nan locked gazes with the blood demon. "I don't think there are any rules."
"Oh? Haven't you noticed? Your ability, your influence, in the current world, under this set of rules, have yet to be fully revealed! "
The blood demon extended his hand and pointed at Luo Nan. His expression was solemn, as if he was speaking at the most authoritative award ceremony. "You should be a great researcher who founded a new era."
"Huh?"
"From the end of last year until now, your series of theories include the Cage Theory that reconstructs the sea of consciousness, the Configuration Theory that affects the autonomous cultivation of ability users, and the Super Configuration Theory from yesterday. These should be able to quickly change the world, but in reality, how many people in the entire world know of you? "
"Yes, 1,246,959 people."
"......"
"It's 960 now …. Just kidding."
Luo Nan smiled in all seriousness. "I think it's probably everyone in the inner world. There's also a portion of people in the military, political, and business circles."
The blood demon grinned. He wanted to comment on this joke, but in the end, he maintained the topic on the normal track. "Fine. Let's say 1,240,000 people. Right now, the population of Earth will reach 10 billion. Don't you think the gap is a bit large?"
Luo Nan didn't mind this. "With the current administrative division, even superstars …."
"We're currently discussing the problem of effective and valuable information." The blood demon interrupted Luo Nan's words. "A 'professor' like you should be an object that all people with complete and mature thinking abilities need to know and learn from."
"Cough, that's too serious."
"No, that's not it! That's the serious part!"
The blood demon's fingers began to tap on the table. Each tap was more urgent than the last. "Isn't it a good thing for all people on Earth who possess a normal level of intelligence to learn your configuration theory? Aside from speeding up the process of counterattacking the Wilderness, will the rapidly expanding base of ability users lead to the Fourth World War? Will human society perish and Earth explode?
"I don't think you're the type of person who believes in inexplicable catastrophes."
"Yes, I'm not."
Luo Nan thought of the Relay Station at this moment. It was the fragmented silhouette of the Heavenly Yuan Empire. Although what he saw and experienced was very likely a remnant specimen of that civilization on the verge of extinction, it was undeniable that that civilization possessed a glorious and long period of peak.
The current Earth's living and social environment should still be a long distance away from that civilization's peak. Chasing after that level of civilization didn't seem to be a bad thing in the foreseeable future.
This line of thought was too far away.
Luo Nan subconsciously shook his head. He turned his gaze to the blood demon and emphasized once more, "I'm not an evolutionary catastrophist, but Mr. Blood Demon, you're certainly an anti-fence-pusher." The so-called anti-fence-pusher was the group of people who advocated completely opening the information barrier between the inner world and the secular world.
Luo Nan's friends in Xia City were more or less of the neutral faction. In other words, they were people who were satisfied with the current state of affairs. They were the group of people who hoped that changes wouldn't be particularly intense.
However, it wasn't surprising to occasionally encounter a radical like Blood Demon … … This was in line with the laws of statistics.
The only thing to worry about was that this person already stood at the peak of human evolution on Earth.
He was a person who could truly say and do things.
Blood Demon's emotions were indeed very intense, but he still focused on discussion right now. "Don't you find it strange? If you take the inner world as a circle, then this circle has gradually forged several dozen to nearly a hundred human-shaped nuclear bombs over the past few decades. They are spread throughout the military, government, and business world. Many of them are important core members … … The world can be turned upside down at any time. At the very least, they can stand openly under the sunlight. But why is it that the conservative voice prevails? "
Luo Nan blinked. "Love peace?"
Blood Demon rolled his eyes. "I'm very serious, my boy! You must know that humans need to disguise themselves, but most of the time, it's just for the sake of obtaining a sense of security in a group. This has never been a problem for ability users. " “
"This is for you … I mean for Extraordinaries," Ye Zichen said with a smile. Luo Nan combined his own experiences and raised an objection. "For the vast majority of ability users, disguising themselves as normal people is a more reasonable and safer choice."
Luo Nan looked at Takar at the side when he spoke up to this point. "This person … … has a strength of B, right? He has electromagnetic abilities, and his fleshly body is quite tough. He's extremely balanced, and his foundation is solid. He can be considered a hero, but he doesn't go around bragging that he's an ability user."
The corners of Takar's eyes twitched, and he clenched his jaw.
He instinctively felt uncomfortable being suddenly stripped. But he didn't want to participate in such a discussion at all. He only treated himself as a decorative iron pillar, standing at the side, not looking at them with evil eyes.
The Blood Demon said matter-of-factly, "I'm discussing the Transcendent level. Do you think that the other hundreds of thousands of little guys who haven't even reached the Awakened level can have any substantial impact on the strategic direction of the entire Inner World? "
"… Continue."
The Blood Demon spouted off his philosophy without end. "Humans have the same need to obtain recognition, to realize their self-worth. This need is even higher. For high-level ability users who have already satisfied their low-level needs, it should be said that this is even more enticing. So I believe that all ability users, or at least all Extraordinaries, are essentially push-overs. Who doesn't want to maximize the influence of their capital? "
"But why do these high-level ability users who play the most core role, these less than a hundred Extraordinaries, continue to suppress the high-level needs under the premise that the low-level needs are already satisfied?"
He didn't give Luo Nan a chance to answer. He directly gave the answer.
"This is because there are quite a few people among them who already have vested interests."
"Powerful social forces, social habits, social morals … … Of course, there's also the powerful capital that flows through society. These people's ability advantages are realized in a timely manner, pulling them into the old system."
"Their present harvests have already exceeded their imaginations and pursuits of the future." “
"They are already the drummers of the old system!"
