Ren Ruofeng let out a long sigh as he returned empty-handed. However, he ordered the local Special Affairs Department to contact the local organization and rent thirty thousand acres of fertile land to the Whitestone people for farming.
This was not a difficult task as the empty-nest phenomenon in the countryside was getting worse.
With a large area of land abandoned, it was basically impossible for the young people to farm for food. Not only was it tiring, but they would also be busy until the end of the year. They would only be able to earn enough for their meals. It would be too difficult to make a fortune if they did not come up with some special tricks.
The Truth Department was a huge organization. If they failed to rope in the Whitestone people, the other forces would naturally not fall behind. They were not stupid. The Upper Realm was the Upper Realm, and Earth was Earth.
The Whitestone people could not survive in the Upper Realm, but it was different on Earth.
…
Somewhere deep underground in the southwest of China.
Bai Shixin's study.
The bookshelf was still full of books, but other than Sun Tzu's Art of War, all the other books had been replaced.
"Compiler Principles", "Assembly Language", "Data Structure", "Graphics", "Artificial Intelligence", "Discrete Mathematics", "Probability and Statistics" … The books were arranged neatly on the bookshelves, making many humans feel ashamed after seeing them.
At this time, Bai Shixin was reading a book called Artificial Intelligence. He was drawing something on it as he read.
On his desk, there was a rare high-end laptop, running several programs and video tutorials.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
He put down the book and let out a long sigh. He sorted out his emotions and walked out of the study to open the door.
He saw Elder Ancestor Bai and a young man with bright eyes standing at the door.
It was his former disciple, Nie Yuan, and his ex-wife's current husband.
"Shixin, there's something I need you to discuss with Nie Yuan."
Elder Ancestor Bai's tone was gentle, as if he knew nothing about what happened between them.
Bai Shixin said lightly, "Elder Ancestor, please tell me. I will do my best."
Elder Ancestor Bai nodded, and the three of them went to his study.
Elder Ancestor Bai saw the books and laptop on the desk at first glance, then the books on the bookshelf. He nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. Shixin, you're reading these books too. Although you've lost a lot of your magic power, with your intelligence and longevity, you've surpassed most human geniuses. Becoming a top computer scientist is a piece of cake.
"After establishing the Greater Rat Empire, we'll need to use the humans' new information-based management methods to govern the country. We can't use the old methods from the Upper Realm. When the time comes, we will definitely need talents in this field. You've thought ahead of me again. "
Bai Shixin flattered, "You flatter me, Elder Ancestor. You've always been far-sighted, I'm just copying your words."
In his heart, however, he was secretly thinking, 'You old servant, although your eyes are as sharp as ever, the concept of personal strength being supreme has long been deeply rooted in your mind.' You only treat it as an information management tool, but you don't know the true power of this technology.
Elder Ancestor Bai remained calm, as if he had no idea what Bai Shixin was thinking.
He simply said, "The famous Whitestone people from the Upper Realm have finally appeared. We all know that they are naturally honest and would never lie. They are the best candidates for the new Imperium's judges and talents that the Imperium is in dire need of. You and Nie Yuan, express your opinions on how we can persuade them to work for our great cause. "
Bai Shixin frowned and did not speak first.
Nie Yuan rolled his eyes and spoke first, "Elder Ancestor, I have an idea. However, I'd like to hear Master's advice first … "
Bai Shixin said faintly, "The pupil surpasses the master. You're much more capable than I am, so you don't have to listen to me first. You must remember the words' don't pass on responsibility '."
Elder Ancestor Bai nodded and said, "Mm, Yuan 'er, you don't have to be so courteous. You can speak first."
Nie Yuan then said confidently, "I heard that the Whitestone people want to build a society where everyone is honest. The Greater Rat Clan is newly established, and we're just like a blank piece of paper to draw on. Give them a minister of education and a judge, and ask them to help lead the Greater Rat Empire's national spirit and folkways towards simplicity. I'm sure they'll be interested. "
Although Bai Shixin's feelings towards his former disciple were extremely complicated, he could not help but nod at this time. Nie Yuan was extremely talented and intelligent. This was one of the points that he wanted to make clear.
After all, Nie Yuan was still young, and it had not even been a year since he turned into a demon. His accumulation was shallow, so it was already good enough that he was able to reach this point.
As expected, Elder Ancestor Bai praised him. "Not bad, although these two positions are high and powerful, I'm not stingy. I can take them out and let the Whitestone people take them. You're right, Yuan 'er. The national spirit and folkways are different. It must be simple for the nation to last, and for the people to survive.
"All of you must remember, in today's world, if any clan wants to develop and grow, go through countless storms, and pass on for thousands of generations, there must be people who work hard, who work hard, who plead for the people, and who sacrifice themselves to seek the law. They are the backbone of a clan that will never fall, not those smart people who only know how to speak sweet words, manipulate politics, and only care about personal benefits.
"This is what a sage from China said, and it's very well said. Nations that have these people have persisted until now."
Nie Yuan quickly nodded, and the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of pride.
Bai Shixin, on the other hand, was secretly shocked. Although he already had the intention to rebel, he had to admit that Elder Ancestor Bai was far-sighted. This was his plan after he became a god.
Elder Ancestor Bai wanted the newborn greater rats to have a simple nature and tenacious temperament. Only then could they ensure that no matter how big the storm was, even if they fell into a low tide, they would be able to rise again one day, and not completely sink into a state where they could never rise again. When that time came, the Saint of the Gods would definitely fall as well.
The ebb and flow of the tide was determined by the Heavenly Axiom. It was impossible for a clan to never fall. When a clan was at its peak, anyone could be famous for a while, but whether or not they could survive the low tide and continue to pass on was the true test of a clan.
Thinking about this, he pondered for a while before speaking slowly, "I think the people from the Truth Department must have promised these positions, but they were obviously not moved. I wonder why?"
Elder Ancestor Bai smiled. "That Ren Ruofeng thinks he's smart, but he doesn't know enough about the Whitestone people. He used something that he couldn't do himself to fool the Whitestone people. How could he succeed? "
Bai Shixin nodded and said, "If that's the case, I would like to add something. The goal must be mentioned, and the specific methods must be mentioned. I remember a wise man once said that humans can lie, but computers can't. A program is a program, it can have bugs, but it will never have bugs on purpose. We can tell them that they can use computers that can't lie, and through information technology, they can build a trustworthy Greater Rat Kingdom. "
Elder Ancestor Bai was elated. He turned to Nie Yuan and said, "Good, very good. Listen, the older, the wiser. There's still a big gap between you and your master. You need to accumulate more experience and learn more. Don't be obsessed with the useless things that humans do. Learn more about their strengths, and that's the only way to build a good foundation. "
Nie Yuan immediately nodded. "Thank you for your teachings, Elder Ancestor. Thank you for your guidance, Master. I'll remember it."
Elder Ancestor Bai and Bai Shixin exchanged a few more words before leaving with Nie Yuan.
"Damn it, what a shame!!" Bai Shixin sent the two of them out of the door and gritted his teeth.
A month ago, Ren Ruofeng found him a good opportunity. The Truth Department found out that a group of Devil Rats was about to invade China from the West.
There were Greater Rats in the East, and Devil Rats in the West. They had been eyeing China's fertile land and abundant human resources for a long time.
After he received the news, he purposely picked an opportunity to visit Bai Shifu who was guarding the West. When he was a guest, Bai Shifu naturally asked him to come up with a plan.
He did not decline and came up with a plan. He instructed a group of local Greater Rat generals to surround and annihilate the foreign rats under the Gobi Desert. There were very few casualties on their side, and the general's demeanor was unmistakable. He won the sincere admiration of the generals, and his reputation greatly increased.
Elder Ancestor Bai's visit today was to teach him a lesson.
The meaning of his words was clear. He only needed honest people who were willing to work, and he no longer needed smart people with flowery words.
Bai Shixin returned to his study and continued to read the book "Artificial Intelligence". The book was broad and profound. Even with his intelligence, it was still impossible for him to grasp it in one go. He had to combine theory with practice and work steadily to achieve something.
This was different from cultivation. There was no such thing as an epiphany. He had to take one step at a time to reach a thousand miles.
A long time ago, he and Elder Ancestor Bai watched the battle between Vigilante A and Anderson. At that time, Anderson speculated that Vigilante A used battle AI technology to react so quickly.
At that time, he had already secretly paid attention to relevant knowledge, but he did not pay much attention to it. After all, this subject was equally difficult. Without ten years of hard work, he would not be able to master it and surpass other top human scientists.
Until that huge change happened and he completely lost the possibility of cultivation. He decided to betray the Elder Ancestor and become a king with the support of the Truth Department.
That was why he decided to study this subject. This would be his capital to turn the tables.
This was because Ren Ruofeng had promised him that before the big event, he would give him the latest model of spiritually-controlled mech for protection.
However, how could he only pin his hopes on him? He must first understand the theory behind this tool.
Elder Ancestor Bai would only think that he was learning to build an information-based Greater Rat Empire. He would not know that he had other plans.
…
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
Vigilante A was doing his daily chivalry.
Fang Ning was cultivating in peace.
Suddenly, Sir System said, "Hey, one of the Whitestone people on the map is going to turn red. I'm going to farm him."
Fang Ning instantly became nervous. He could not help it. Their ancestors were rich … Their ancestors were terrifying beings that could shatter the continent.
He hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened? They are so honest, they would not do something for no reason. "
The System said, "On the map, in a small county in Qiongzhou, a fat Whitestone person is in conflict with someone. He's the one who's going to turn red."
As they spoke, Vigilante A had already appeared in the sky above the county. Fang Ning then heard a fierce argument coming from below.
He immediately looked down through the System View and saw a warehouse. The words "XX Trade Import and Export Co., Ltd" were painted on the warehouse's door.
"Go find the person who signed the contract with you. He's only a temporary employee. The contract he signed is not legally binding. We've already fired him. Go find him, don't come to me. " A dignified boss in his forties, wearing glasses, was reprimanding the fat Whitestone person in front of him.
The fat Whitestone person was Shi Da. His face was flushed red, and he had already become a Redstone person …
They were honest by nature. None of them wanted to live in debt. In order to pay off the rent for the thirty thousand acres of farmland, they urgently consumed their magical energy to make some handicrafts of their race to sell.
Although it was not an artifact, it had the style of the Upper Realm and was very unique to their race, so it was still very popular in the human market.
They entered the local county, and under the gaze of many passersby, they found a roadside stall to sell their goods. Soon, a buyer in a suit squeezed up to them, paid a deposit, bought everything, and loaded it into a truck.
Before the buyer left, he told them that the boss had said that the payment would be sent to them in two days.
In the end, they stared at their phones every day for two days.
It was given to them by the local Special Affairs Department. When they helped them set up their bank accounts, they had also given them a phone to check the status of their accounts. In the end, there was no activity for three days …
Other than the initial notification of the deposit, there were no new notifications.
Who in the Upper Realm would play this game with them? If they were interested in something, they would just snatch it away. If they could not beat the other party, they would not be able to snatch it back, and they could only admit defeat …
They hurriedly tracked down the buyer, and finally found him. In the end …
He used a lot of effort to open his mouth and recall, "I followed that person's footprints and found him. He said that after he received the goods, they were sent to the company's warehouse, and then he was fired. He asked me to come here to ask for it back. The clan leader said that he was not lying. You only paid us a small deposit, so we will return the deposit to you, and you will return the goods to us. "
The bespectacled boss snorted and said, "I didn't see any goods, not even on the warehouse receipt. That person must have used our company's name to cheat you of the goods. We are preparing to sue that person, and you can also sue him through legal means. "
"You, you are obviously lying." The fat Whitestone person pointed at him and said angrily, "The clan leader has just gone to your Special Affairs Department. Before he left, he told me to keep an eye on you and not let you run away. You have been lying all along, from the beginning to the end, and you must be lying now. "
The bespectacled boss said fearlessly, "Come and hit me if you dare … You strange creatures, hurry up and get out of here. You are in our territory, so you must follow our rules. Truth or lies, your words don't count. You have to go to court and let the judge decide. "
At this time, the boss was actually thinking in his heart, 'Come and hit me, hurry up and hit me.
We have the Venerable Dragon God in the sky every day. If you start fighting, you will definitely be killed by him, and I can take the opportunity to escape. '
That batch of goods had just been sold yesterday, and he made a lot of money. He did not expect these idiots to be so good, to be able to find that buyer so quickly.
They found this warehouse early in the morning, and blocked his way when he wanted to move.
But it was not a big deal. With idiots like them, he could settle them with a few words, and he might even be able to get some personal compensation.
…
"You, you, you," Shi Da was not good with words to begin with, and now his face was red from the other party's words. He said angrily, "I will beat you to death, you liar! Those things were made by our entire clan after a few days of hard work. If you don't return them now, I will really beat you to death! "
Fang Ning was shocked, no wonder Sir System said that a Whitestone person was going to turn red …
These guys did not know how to lie, and if they said they would really beat him to death, then they would really beat him to death. It was not like what people said, where they just wanted to scare him or beat him up.
"Hurry up and stop it," he said to Sir System, "As for this despicable boss, how dare he use this kind of method that has long been spread on the internet to lie to an honest person, I will make him turn red!"
The System said, "Understood, he is already red."
Just as Vigilante A was about to attack, Fang Ning suddenly said, "Forget it, let me do it. I am a Bucket-level powerhouse, after all. These damn liars, I have been tricked by them a few times in the past. Now I want to beat him up myself, so that my thoughts will be clear. "
The System said, "It's good to let you practice, you won't get much experience points anyway."
At this moment, the bespectacled boss was still fearless, and with an arrogant face, he pointed at his left cheek and said, "Hit me, hit me here, if you can't beat me to death, I will let you feed me for the rest of my life! Let me tell you honestly, this is our China's Heavens, they will only protect me, they will not care about you strange creatures. "
As soon as he finished, a slap fell from the sky and slapped him more than ten meters away. His whole body hit a tree, and he fainted.
The fat Whitestone person was stunned, he looked at his hand and said doubtfully, "I didn't hit him, why did he fly out? Could it be that the Heavens here did it for me? Then it is really a good person. The Heavens over there will never care about these things. "
In mid-air, Fang Ning felt that the slap was really satisfying, he wanted to slap him a few more times … No wonder Sir System liked to hit people so much, it was really addictive.
It was because of these despicable people that something like this would happen to tarnish China's image. With how big China was, it was inevitable that there would be some scumbags.
However, China had never relied on these dregs to pass on its legacy. Instead, it relied on those who worked hard, those who worked hard, those who pleaded for the people, and those who sacrificed themselves to seek the Dharma … They were the true backbone of China.
At this moment, Sir System suddenly spoke, interrupting Fang Ning's thoughts, "Hey, Host, look at the new System Notification, it's strange."
Fang Ning was only focused on venting his anger, he did not notice the System Notification.
Once Sir System mentioned it, he quickly looked at it.
System Notification: [The Host attacked the swindler Wang Dafu.
The Host used "Hand of Spiritual Sense" to attack.
Wang Dafu was knocked unconscious.
Advanced-level Game Book obtained 50 experience points, self-upgrade module activated.
The System obtained a small amount of Morality, a small amount of Reputation.]
Fang Ning was speechless. 'What, I didn't get experience points when I hit people, why did my precious game book get experience points instead?'
Of course, he was not jealous, it was just pure confusion. In the past, his precious game book even stole all of Sir System's Morality to kill the Wise Grand Tutor, but in the end, Sir System was the one who got 12 million experience points.
Why was it that after he knocked out a swindler, the precious game book got experience points instead?
Then, he heard Sir System say angrily, "Damn it, first it stole my Morality, now it's stealing my experience points, looks like I really can't keep this stupid book anymore …"
