For the humans of Earth and the Federal Parliament, there was a very important reason why they were willing to accept the Protoss, provide land and funds, and allow them to settle and settle on Earth.
Earth was indeed the "homeland" of the Protoss.
The language and accent spoken by the Protoss were more than 50% similar to the Chinese language.
The characters used by the Protoss were an improved version of the Oracle Bone Script. They were a kind of ideogram and had many similarities with Chinese characters.
In terms of culture, they were basically homologous.
Not counting the so-called "aliens."
Taking this into account, more than 30% of the people welcomed the return of the Protoss. They did not reject it in their hearts.
In addition, the Protoss' own "abilities" made many Earthlings who worshiped power yearn for them. The arrival of the Protoss made them faintly look forward to obtaining more powerful techniques.
The various "resources" of the Heavenly Realm also aroused curiosity.
It was precisely because of the support of this part of the public that the Federal Parliament smoothly completed the task of welcoming them.
…
Five days later.
Central area of Desert Free City No. 19.
On the 99th floor of the landmark city hall building, in a silver-styled room.
Heavenly Ruler A, who was wearing a loose robe, had hardly stepped out of his room for the past two days.
Through the intelligent terminal worn on his wrist and the guidance of the "little elf" projected by the terminal, he completed the task of settling more than eight million Protoss immigrants without leaving his room.
If he was not too sure about a certain Protoss, he only needed to say a name, and within three seconds, he could locate and observe the other party's movements, or initiate a video chat to inquire about the other party's situation.
If he was hungry, he could order a sumptuous takeout.
If he was tired, there were many facilities to relax the body and mind.
In addition, considering that he was alone without his family around, if he had any physiological needs, the little elf specially introduced a special capsule-shaped device with a pink coating. After wearing a helmet, it would give different feedback according to the scene. The degree of realism was more than 80%.
"Master, this device is called 'Bewitching Charm Generation VI.' It ranks first among the otaku community in terms of sales. Once discovered by your girlfriend or wife, the probability of breaking up with you is more than 35%. There are also 18 free beauties inside. Considering that you are a Protoss, there are an additional 68 beauties, for a total of 86 … Master, do you want to go in and experience it?"
The little elf in his hand strongly recommended.
"No, I have a lot of things to do."
The Heavenly Ruler refused with a wave of his hand. His face was solemn and he had no interest whatsoever.
However, after two days, he found that many middle-level managers were often uncontactable, or when they connected, he would hear some strange sounds.
What shocked him even more was a young subordinate. His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were lifeless. His footsteps were weak, and he looked like he was about to collapse. It wouldn't be a big deal to say that he was dying of a serious illness.
"What's going on with you? What have you been doing these past few days? Could it be that those Earthlings plotted against you? "Heavenly Ruler asked.
"No, no."
The young man shook his head, looking a little flustered. "I didn't do anything."
"Speak!"
Heavenly Ruler A glared and asked loudly.
Unable to withstand the pressure, the young man had no choice but to confess to his teacher, "I've been playing 'Bewitching Charms the Sixth Generation' a little too much lately. The beauties in it are simply, uh … damaging to my essence."
The Sixth Generation Bewitching Demon?
After asking about the situation, the Heavenly Ruler A found it hard to believe. It was just a machine. How could it have such a terrifying effect?
"I want to see what's so strange about this place."
With a strong sense of curiosity, the Heavenly Ruler A put on the helmet and entered the Bewitching Charms the Sixth Generation.
Immediately, as soon as he saw the interface of the pink and tender beauties, he felt evil energy invading his body and heating up his Qi and blood. He, who was not very interested in women, felt his heartbeat accelerate and his body temperature increase by at least a few degrees.
Office lady, nurse outfit, maid outfit, school uniform, stockings …
The unprecedented visual impact almost made him explode and die.
"It's simply an evil thing!"
The Heavenly Ruler A took off his helmet at once, sat down, and madly operated the Passion Technique Formula. Only then did he suppress the evil fire.
However, there were only a few people who had great willpower.
After investigating, the Heavenly Ruler A was even more shocked to find that among the millions of Protoss immigrants, at least a million of them stayed in the Bewitching Charms the Sixth Generation for more than three hours every day, madly venting their energy.
For those who were addicted to it all day long, they were about to be annihilated.
"Bang!"
He smashed the Bewitching Charms the Sixth Generation with a punch, slapped it a few times, and reprimanded it fiercely.
At the same time, he also found the Federation's liaison officer to protest, "The artifact you're equipped with, called the Bewitching Charms the Sixth Generation, is simply an attempt to murder us Protoss. It's a hidden evil intention!"
"Of course not. It's impossible for it to kill anyone."
The liaison officer explained, "A total of three billion units of the Bewitching Charms series have been sold, and only a hundred or so cases have resulted in accidents. If it is indeed too frequent, a warning will be issued in time … Besides, all of you Protoss have just arrived from afar and are full of energy. You also need some comfort."
In fact, after the arrival of the Protoss, the human beings on Earth were most worried about the chastity of their wives and daughters, in addition to their personal safety. It must be known that the Protoss did not understand the law at all. The fashionable women on Earth had extraordinary charm. Once the two parties came into contact, it was really difficult to predict what would happen to the Protoss men, who were in a state of dominance with their lower bodies.
The Bewitching Charms series, which occupied the mainstream market, was even an artifact that reduced the crime rate in certain areas.
The Federation was considerate enough to equip every male Protoss with one, and 86 beautiful women were given to them for free.
The Heavenly Ruler A's request to withdraw was politely rejected. If it really did not work, they could just throw it away. Anyway, there was a specialized Bewitching Charms network.
…
Desert Free City No. 19, Western City District.
In a high-class apartment district for women.
Li Huoqing was assigned an apartment with an area of 60 square meters. It had one bedroom, one living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony.
Considering her age, she was also equipped with a multifunctional nanny robot to take care of her life.
In the past few days, she had been looking at this new environment with a curious gaze.
Not only did she not become numb from her curiosity, but she became even more interested.
For example, the four-wheeled cars speeding back and forth on the streets.
The long line of carriages on the viaduct that looked like a centipede.
The floating magnetic tracks in the center of the city.
There were also subways, buses, and so on.
It gave people a sense of order, busy, but not chaotic.
There were also tall and beautiful buildings. Although they did not conform to the beauty of nature, they had a unique sense of beauty.
Even the furniture and various household appliances in the house aroused her interest. She asked many low-level questions to the little elf in the smart terminal on her wrist.
Of course, the thing that she watched the most was the laser projection television. She watched all kinds of programs specially prepared for the Protoss. Even if they were advertisements, she still watched them with relish.
Her gaze was somewhat greedy as she watched everything in front of her.
After a few days, when her eyes had seen enough …
Li Huoqing fell madly in love with a new activity.
That was to take a few friends of the same age to shopping and spend money in the shopping district.
She walked into the colorful women's clothing store and tried on the fashionable and beautiful clothes.
She tried on all kinds of exquisite jewelry in the jewelry store.
She went to the beauty salon to get her hair done.
She tasted the delicacies from all over the world in different restaurants.
Sometimes, she did not feel tired even after shopping for a whole day. She almost went crazy from playing.
In the end, she even forgot the modesty that women should have. She often shouted,
"This world … is great. I love this place so much.
"Delicious food, fun things, beautiful things. This place has them all! I feel like I'm living happily every day! "
"Although the spiritual energy here is very weak, it feels more interesting than the Heavenly Realm!"
Li Huoqing watched a web drama that she had been following for several days. She would unknowingly watch it until midnight. Only when the surroundings were silent would she feel a little sad.
"My father and mother were swallowed by the Primal Chaos. My brother and sister are also dead. In the end, I am the only one left.
"I originally thought that I would feel very lonely and sad after coming to this strange place. But why do I only feel sad occasionally?
"Especially in the past few days, I am so happy that I don't even have time to feel sad. I am almost about to forget those bad things."
Moreover, the more she learned about this world by asking the elf in the terminal, the more Li Huoqing liked this place.
Everyone was basically an ordinary person. There were very few "cultivators" or "Extraordinaires" with power. Everyone was about the same.
Of course, there were wars. However, after entering the civilized era, except for two major wars, the next two hundred years were generally very peaceful. Disputes and conflicts were mostly resolved in peaceful ways.
Everyone was equal. The strong could not bully the weak. The law would ensure everyone's basic interests.
It was very safe and stable. With the security robots patrolling, sometimes she would walk outside for a whole day without witnessing a fight.
In addition, it was a developed culture.
Whether it was a TV drama, a song, a movie, or a variety show, it felt like there was no end to interesting TV programs. It could almost wipe out a lifetime of events.
There were all kinds of entertainment activities.
It could almost fill one's mind to the point that one could not think of anything else.
Not to mention the wonderful virtual game that was said to have created a group of three billion otakus around the world. It was destroying the labor force of one country after another.
In addition, there was an abundance of material goods. She and a few friends had been buying, playing, and eating like crazy these days. On average, they only spent two or three thousand dollars a day. The "living expenses" given by the Federation to each Protoss were 100,000 credits per month.
This subsidy would continue for five years!
Only after they had fully adapted to life on Earth would they consider their future.
In other words, she had a free and happy life for a full five years.
"The people here are so kind, generous, smart, and versatile. They have given us so many beautiful things."
"Kind people, my level of cultivation is not very high, but I will definitely repay you in the future," Li Huoqing whispered.
Li Huoqing murmured. She really liked the land and the people under her feet.
…
A month later.
The person in charge of the first batch of Protoss immigrants, the Heavenly Ruler, could no longer sit still.
It was over.
If this continued, the Protoss would really be done for.
He held an emergency meeting and called a dozen of the most powerful stewards together to discuss the current grim situation.
"Everyone, if this goes on, our Protoss will be finished. Those humans definitely have no good intentions. They are even discussing conspiracies to deal with us!"
The Heavenly Ruler said. He frowned and felt that the situation was extremely urgent.
"Lord Heavenly Ruler, I also think that those Earthlings are very insidious," a steward said.
A steward said, "They are clearly very weak and can be easily killed with a finger, but the things they have created are dazzling."
"No matter what, the tools they have invented can make us degenerate to the level of trash. We don't have to think about anything, we don't have to do anything. We just need to ask for food, and everything will be taken care of. I suspect that if this continues, we won't even be bothered to cultivate."
"Those cunning Earthlings want to weaken our strength by making us lazy."
"Yes, we can't continue to be fooled like this. Many of our clansmen have not left their rooms for half a month. Slowly, they have become useless people who are cooped up at home. Yes, they have become what the Earthlings call homebodies."
"Yes, that's terrible. We have to go out of our homes and become diligent. We have to find something to do!"
"Find something to do … The robots have already done everything that can be done. What else do they want us to do?"
"Yes, with the robots, we don't have to do anything. It's not that we don't work hard to cultivate, but the concentration of spiritual energy here is too thin. There is no effect on cultivation at all. It's better to rest."
"Lord … I don't think this is a conspiracy of those Earthlings. They have given us land and money, as well as houses, games, delicious food, fun, and everything else. It shouldn't be a conspiracy or malicious intent. If there is indeed a conspiracy, then we should return everything except for the land. Then we can rely on ourselves and be diligent … It's better than using this as an excuse to cause trouble for them."
A man said something fair. If giving them delicious food, fun, and good-looking things was a conspiracy and a trap, then it was better to have more of such traps.
Even if there was a hidden conspiracy, it would probably be difficult to refuse.
"This …"
The Heavenly Ruler was a little speechless. Returning all the things and rejecting their good intentions … Could they do that?
Then, the meeting ended without a conclusion.
…
On the other side.
At the highest internal meeting of the Federal Parliament.
Bursts of triumphant laughter could be heard.
"Those Protoss will soon be trapped by us."
"Haha, in just over a month, countless wonderful TV shows, movies, and fun games have been placed in front of them. I'm afraid there are very few who can not sink into it?"
"Games are still the craziest. About a million Protoss have entered virtual games and become players who constantly fight monsters to level up. Judging from their activity, they are deeply addicted to the Internet. I think they are about to suffer from it."
"At the end of the day, the most powerful force is not the fist, but culture. Directly at the spiritual level, the enemy's brain is washed to become one of our own. Once they have a sense of identity, there is no turning back."
"The culture of the fist cannot last long. In this world, those so-called Protoss will eventually be 'included' by us. This is inevitable."
"In the end, we will maintain our own culture and gain their power. Haha, we will be the strongest civilization."
All the members of parliament laughed, their faces full of confidence.
But … there was one thing that they did not expect.
