Lan Mu was in an extremely difficult situation. He had turned into a spore and came here, which meant that he didn't bring his space ring.
The only thing he had brought, the Bastet metal, was also selectively abandoned outside.
It could be said that other than the knowledge in his memory and the skills he had already mastered, the only thing he could rely on was the Parasite's control over this body.
As for the Lord God, the Parasite couldn't enter the Lord God's space through the previously set method, and without a space ring, there was naturally no way to contact the Lord God.
He estimated that he would be able to transform freely in four days. At that time, he should be able to leave this body. As for whether or not it would cause Gray to explode, Lan Mu didn't care.
Originally, he only needed to stay here and find a way to earn some money. With enough food and nutrition, he could safely get through this period.
However, when he was browsing the network, he learned that the civilization had destroyed the flagship.
Thinking about it carefully, he knew that Zhuo Yue must have come as well. With Zhuo Yue's loyalty, she couldn't have let the warship send him here. She must have done it herself.
Realizing that Zhuo Yue was likely to be captured, Lan Mu urgently needed to increase his strength to ensure his safety in the next few days.
Because capturing Zhuo Yue would let the people of the civilization know that the Bastet metal sphere was used to transport individuals into the city. Then, if the containment sphere containing Lan Mu was empty, they would know that an individual had infiltrated the city. Then, the civilization would very likely be searching for him now.
"The meat just now was really good. I can now maintain a high intensity battle for an entire day, and my strength has directly increased compared to before."
And this increase was based on the Parasite Gray. It should be known that Gray's physical fitness was forty times that of an Earthling. In other words, if Lan Mu really fought, even if he only controlled one hand, it would be enough to deal with a seven-day transformation like the Pekingese.
If Lan Mu was only a normal human, he wouldn't be able to win against the Pekingese.
Looking at the heartbroken Gray lying on the ground, because of the planet's gravity and environment, although he had forty times the physical fitness of an Earthling, in reality, he was at the bottom of the hierarchy in this civilization.
Every individual was at least as strong as him.
How could this be? This meant that everyone around him could threaten Lan Mu.
Of course, the difference in combat skills was too great. This civilization did not develop individual combat abilities at all. They did not know that there were intelligent creatures in this world whose physical fitness was forty times weaker than theirs. On this planet, their physical fitness was only average.
"Get up! Reptile, it's time to make some money. "
A wave of unbearable pain hit Gray. He screamed and begged for mercy out of habit. Then, he stood up straight.
"But … I don't have a way to make money," Gray whispered.
Lan Mu asked, "What's your job?"
"Work? I'm not qualified to have a job. "Gray sounded even more embarrassed.
"…"
Gray continued, "You also said that I'm at the bottom of the hierarchy. Existences like me occupy 90% of the entire country. We unconditionally respect the orders of the country and are regularly provided with living funds. The remaining 10% were the working class, which was also the country's management class. And these ten to ninety percent are all soldiers. "
Lan Mu understood. Although they were in an energy crisis, their productivity was still very high. Robots did not need to be paid.
Machines could replace almost all jobs. Therefore, jobs that were actually completed by humans were very scarce. At the same time, the requirements were very high. Obviously, Gray did not meet the requirements.
There were too many people like Gray. Ninety percent of the entire society was proletariat … supported by the country. As long as the energy problem was not solved, the problem of sulfur-based organisms was not solved, then people like Gray would always be at the bottom of society.
His son would be like him. His grandson would be like him. There would be no jobs for generations to come. They would all rely on the country for living funds. When a civilization reached this point, individual efforts were too insignificant. Especially with the start of the cloud brain project, people like Gray would never have a chance to turn things around.
The cloud brain was a special project that this civilization started in order to break through the current technological bottleneck as soon as possible at a critical moment.
From the perspective of the people on Earth, this project was extremely inhumane.
All the brains of the proletarians were transformed into a quantum state. Through technology, the intelligence of countless individuals was gathered together and used to form a super quantum brain in the cloud.
What was deprived here was not only computing power, but also real wisdom, including creativity, imagination, multi-dimensional thinking, judgment, and so on.
To put it nicely, it was for everyone to unite for the continuation and breakthrough of civilization.
To put it bluntly, it was depriving everyone of their IQ and squeezing the last bit of value out of the unemployed people.
In other words, it was Gray's' job 'to hand over his intelligence.
If they did not contribute at all, this society with an energy crisis would not support them. It could be said that this project 'protected' all the proletarians and allowed them to have the qualifications to live.
They were proletarians, they did not have jobs, and their intelligence was suppressed to the lowest level, depriving them of the possibility of geniuses. Or even if there were geniuses among them, they would be exchanged for cheap security money, and their talents would be handed over to the country.
In this society, knowledge could not change one's fate, there was no counterattack, and there was no starting from scratch.
The usefulness of hard work was infinitely close to zero. This made all the proletarians pursue in their life to leave behind descendants.
Because the only thing they could count on was that one day, the civilization would have a technological breakthrough, and they would be able to get rid of sulfur-based organisms and obtain energy from other galaxies.
Then everything would rise, and the super productive and happy life that they had more than a thousand years ago would come.
Even if they could not wait, their descendants could wait.
…
"The first step is to solve the energy problem. Energy in your society is the most valuable," Lan Mu said indifferently.
Gray felt disdain in his heart. This alien is ridiculous. Since he knows that energy is the most valuable, how can he solve the energy problem without money? I had almost saved enough money for the energy generator, but you ate it all …
Before he could finish his thought, a sharp pain made him tremble all over, and he was dehydrated.
Lan Mu said indifferently, "Don't doubt me. I can sense your heart, and I can hear whatever you are thinking."
This was not a lie. The other party had not received any spiritual training, so when communicating through the spiritual link, thoughts such as inner thoughts would be transmitted to Lan Mu as if they were talking through a microphone.
Gray's heart was cold. Under the strong pressure of Lan Mu, he did not even have the freedom to think.
"Listen, reptile, you should learn to obey higher beings, just like you obey your country. If you still can't understand, I will make you understand … "Lan Mu said calmly.
"I know! I know! I know! I know! "What else could Gray do? There was no benefit in going against Lan Mu.
Lan Mu continued, "You can't afford the energy generator, but don't you know that the body is an energy generator?"
The energy generator that Gray was referring to was a technological product of this civilization, and it was one of the most extravagant pursuits of the proles.
They usually had to eat junk food and live for decades before they could afford one.
But an energy generator could be used for hundreds of years, and it was a family heirloom that could be passed down to future generations. With it, they would no longer need to pay expensive energy bills to the country, and they could refine it themselves.
Of course, they would need to buy hydrogen atoms or artificial high-energy atoms. That machine could directly use these atoms to generate huge amounts of energy. Overall, the cost-performance ratio would be much higher, and it would be several times cheaper than paying energy bills.
Should it be said that a high-tech civilization was really awesome? With this thing, they could casually grab a handful of air from Earth and supply a city.
Gray's first reaction was that he didn't believe it, but he quickly realized that he couldn't question it, so he hurriedly said, "I don't know."
Lan Mu said, "You also use solar energy, but what you use is only the sun's most basic light and heat energy. You don't know that in the sunlight, there is also a kind of energy that creates a wonderful connection with many kinds of living things."
Gray listened honestly.
Lan Mu continued, "Of course, it's not that easy to refine. In the absence of spiritual energy on your planet, the efficiency of refining is very low, especially since my method is not suitable for your race."
After saying that, Lan Mu suddenly took control of his body, and Gray felt a wonderful vibration in every muscle in his body.
Gray's physical fitness was high, but he didn't know how to use his own strength. Lan Mu could make up for this. After he parasitized, he could perfectly control Gray's body and exert 100% of the effect.
After a while, Gray's two excretory organs began to swell. His eyes were filled with fear, and he kept begging for mercy in his mind, thinking that Lan Mu was torturing him again.
After a few more minutes, Lan Mu stopped the vibration and told him, "Go, get rid of the impurities in your body."
Gray couldn't care less and lay down in a corner of the room.
After he got rid of all the impurities in his body, he lost a lot of weight and said shakily, "You … You got rid of all the acid salts I injected?"
Most of the things that got rid of were acid salts, which cost Gray a lot of money.
"This is not something in your body. Although it has been modified by technology to be harmless, why did you inject it into yourself?" Lan Mu said.
"Sulfur-based creatures! Every time they invade, the whole planet will be filled with acidic substances. If I don't inject the vaccine, I will definitely be poisoned to death. Injecting acid salts is the cheapest, "Gray explained.
"I understand, but this has nothing to do with me. Now, you have to find a way to go to the ground and bask in the sun. "
After Lan Mu said that, Gray became anxious again.
"The ground is full of toxins, and my acid salts have been cleanly removed by you, I will die …"
"Whether you will die or not, I have the final say. Don't use your pitiful intelligence to figure me out. "
Lan Mu once again made him experience what it meant to be in so much pain that he wished he was dead, and Gray was gradually trained to be numb.
