Chapter 221 Players' Anger (1/2)

In the past few years when the Qingteng Empire was keeping a low profile and the former warlike empress suddenly lost her voice, the Eternal Night World was not peaceful.

Not only was it difficult for people to draw lessons from history, but even the immortals could not change this problem.

Smart people can also suffer from serious illnesses, which may be the lazy side of thinking, always seeing only the information they want.

What's more, there is the perfect intelligence war conducted by the Dark Night Guards, and the powers in the Eternal Night World always get false information from the Empire.

After relaxing their vigilance, the powers saw the skyrocketing national strength in the country, and the large number of excellent and cheap weapons and equipment on the market, which certainly could not suppress their warlike hearts.

Even if the head of a country thought that more power should be accumulated from the overall situation, the noble lords under his command were not happy, and they all felt that this battle was a sure win, so why not take the military merits that were picked up for free?

So starting from the fourth year of the Eternal Night Calendar, in accordance with the needs of the Empire, the ocean was mainly used for testing weapons, and the actual number of casualties was much less than in the past.

On the ground, blood flowed like a river, and many meat grinder battlefields appeared.

Among them, the Church of the Seven Gods has contributed a lot and made considerable efforts. It is also one of the major sellers of the Empire's arms.

Because of the existence of Paradise, the number of believers in many countries has not changed, but the time they spend on prayer and religious activities has been greatly reduced.

This has caused the church to not harvest enough faith power and face the current situation of being punished by the Lord.

Even the Pope has KPIs on his back!

And Paradise has indeed reduced the cost of state rule and increased the willingness of the people to work.

Most of the enjoyment needs are completed in the virtual world, venting their grievances, greatly reducing the number of riots, and making it easier to accept heavy labor.

Although Paradise does not have as rich educational resources as the Empire, the nobles are not interested in the education of two-legged sheep, and there are not so many jobs that require high-quality workers.

However, in subsequent versions, Tasica has developed a module that can train simple skills and repetitive operations.

Therefore, after using Paradise, the productivity and production efficiency of the great powers have been greatly improved.

The secular regime disagrees with the ban on Paradise, and even the believers themselves do not want this beautiful virtual world to be restricted, so the church is also very helpless.

Ordinary prayers cannot achieve the same stimulation as Paradise, and the appeal of promising a better future is getting lower and lower.

Because the gods have promised, believers can now enjoy it in Paradise, who is willing to look forward to the illusory afterlife?

I can only say that the second dimension is so fun. If the body allows, I will never want to leave the second dimension for the rest of my life (50 cents per post, 8 o'clock)!

This is actually a kind of technical abuse, which is a kind of drinking poison to quench thirst and consume the potential of the nation, making them accustomed to virtual stimulation and losing the ability to engage in boring work and long-term research and development of creative work.

The citizens of the great powers raised by this model are actually very similar to the Sanhe gods.

If you have no money, go to work. In order to play Paradise, you can endure any hard work as long as you get paid by the day.

Then you vent in the virtual world for a long time, and when the cost of living threatens your life again, these workers return to their jobs.

But it can only be said that under the ruling level of this era, feudal serfs and even slavery still widely exist. Even the Sanhe God has a higher subjective willingness to work than the original whip.

In addition, the Paradise Illusion is customized by the great powers and is an official designated outlet, so the interval and frequency of work and entertainment must be more in line with the needs of the rulers, bringing a significant increase in labor efficiency.

But this improvement is only at this stage.

When Qingteng and Terra continue to upgrade their industries, the work that needs to be completed by the surrounding areas will become more and more complicated. The Sanhe God will definitely not be able to keep up with the demand, and his patience for work will also be eliminated.

Can't the great powers see this hidden danger? Impossible, of course they can see it.

But in their common sense, the improvement of technology is in units of ten thousand years. The current round of technological explosion in the empire is the accumulation of magic civilization in the past. It should be like this within hundreds or thousands of years.

The problems brought by the Paradise Illusion are what the descendants need to worry about. It has nothing to do with my generation, so what are you worried about?

I believe that when technology develops at that time, the descendants will definitely be able to think of a better way to solve the problem.

This is a kind of thinking that after I die, who cares about the flood? At this stage, the Paradise Fantasy can bring all kinds of benefits, so why think about the future?

Compared with the Fearless Space that has been used in the Empire and the Kingdom of Terra, the level of stimulation and enjoyment is definitely far less than that of the Paradise Fantasy, but it is also easier to balance the life arrangements between virtual and real, and it has assumed more educational, commercial, and social functions.

The church also understands the hidden dangers of the Paradise Fantasy, but the attraction of this thing is stronger than their group divine brainwashing, which is quite helpless.

The churches of all gods still have the task of handing in enough faith power.

In this case, only war is a collective activity that is more attractive than the Paradise Fantasy.

The spirit of people erupting on the battlefield will also provide more and more devout faith than usual.

In addition, there are prisoners after winning, and rituals can be used to generate a wave of faith power, so the church actually needs war more than those nobles who are eager for military merit.

In this kind of internal war desire is high, and there is a little devil jumping up and down constantly provoking, how can the countries on the land be peaceful?

In the past four years, there have been constant battles of all sizes, and many times the fighting was simply for the purpose of killing people.

The church here wants to complete the mission, and the church there also wants to complete the mission. The rulers above are urging them to do so, and the generals who lead the troops also feel helpless.

Although everyone's equipment has been greatly improved compared to the past, the enemy's equipment has also been improved. In a real head-on confrontation, the final result is still a draw.

If there is an absolute gap in strength between the two sides, the winner would have been decided long ago, right?

Many times, these countries are actually driven by interests and deliberately fight meat grinder-style wars, which often end up with no results.

Of course, in the history books written by the emperors for themselves, they can write about how many enemies they have killed and what great victories they have won, and they can brag about their civil and military achievements.

Anyway, with the Spring and Autumn style of writing, their own losses in this regard can be completely ignored, and they can also get the support of a considerable number of citizens when they are sent back to the country.

As for the population reduction, food shortage, resource shortage, and death of relatives brought by the war, because the virtual world consumes too much energy, people's mood of calculating has also faded a lot...

Anyway, we have to work hard in this life, and it is impossible to turn over and become the master, so just accept our fate!

So unlike the complex problems caused by past wars, as long as Paradise Illusion launches a few new activities and the game rewards are higher, many mistakes seem to be directly forgiven, and the cost of the upper class to start a war is decreasing, so wars for various reasons are more frequent.

After everyone was still trying to figure out how to fight the new era war in the past two years, although there was no world war in the past two years, there were constant frictions between countries, and countless small-scale, high-intensity wars were fought.

Except for the Qingteng Empire and the Terra Kingdom, the total population of the surface powers has dropped by 30%.

This is still because of the sufficient food supply, the reduction of famine, and the sharp increase in the birth rate of newborns, which cannot change the various losses caused by the war.

Under the tool of Paradise Illusion, the powers actually have some tendency to develop towards the insect civilization.

The brains of the upper class have absolute dominance over the lower class, and stimulate the lower class to work hard through hormones. The lower class exists only for the mission of work, and does not think too much about personal interests.

The side effects of long-term use of the Paradise Illusion have become prominent. Those people with low education levels can no longer distinguish between virtual and reality, and have been cultivated to be highly obedient by the colorful task system.

The rulers did not feel that there was a problem, but thought it was too good:

Just print out the colorful task panels in reality, and then guide and stimulate these people to let them work.

Human rights?

Sorry, this is the Middle Ages. The nobles are not guilty of breaking the law like the common people. The interests of the strong represent all the magic world.

If this environment continues for a few hundred years, the upper and lower classes of the great powers will be seriously divided, and eventually form two races with completely different languages ​​and cultures, and even different racial attributes.

But the empire will not give them this time. After completing the five-year plan and showing the Eternal Night in the sky, it has actually cut these fat pigs.

The political situation of the powers on the surface seems to be stable, and the national productivity has been significantly improved compared to five years ago, but their war potential is almost exhausted.

It only takes one bomb to explode, and they will be exposed.

This bomb is very simple, that is, to stop the service supply of Paradise Fantasy!

The stability of these countries now is completely based on the virtual world of Paradise Fantasy. It only takes a very low cost to quell the resentment of the people caused by negative events such as overload labor and loss of relatives.

Their management is also based on the obedience and subservience brought by Paradise Fantasy. There is nothing to fight for in the real world. Instead, the ranking and killing in the virtual world are more directly stimulating and are the "careers" they pursue.

As a result, with a snap, this virtual world disappeared, and the way to enjoy that beauty was gone!

The lower-class people of the powers were furious in an instant, and they went from being obedient to rioting without hesitation!

The unprecedented accumulation of public grievances was originally forcibly transferred by Paradise Fantasy. Now there is nowhere to transfer, so a large number of players in all countries who have entered a manic mood took to the streets.

After leaving the paradise, the lower class suddenly saw what kind of life they were living.

The food had no taste at all, it was even worse than pig food, the living environment was barely leak-proof, and they hadn't bought clothes for a long time. They lived in a dormitories that looked like pigeon nests...

Originally, everyone in the paradise had delicacies from mountains and seas, and countless virtual maids served them in eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping. As a result, they suddenly returned to reality?

Although it may only be a little worse than the past life, everyone is used to being deceived by false illusions.

It's like a fairy living in a beauty filter, how can she accept that she is a tank?

No, please put me back on the camera and turn the beauty filter to level 10!

They are angry, they are confused, they were oppressed in the past, and now they think about their empty life, how desperate they are.

This reality is hopeless, please let me go back to the virtual world!

The great powers explained at the top of their lungs, if you want to rebel, please target the Kingdom of Terra, if you want to curse, please target Tasika, it was she who stopped your paradise!

Come on, let's gather the troops and conquer the Kingdom of Terra together. You can play the game as you like and get unlimited stones!

If it were the ignorant people in the past, the propaganda of the great powers might have succeeded.

After all, all races have chauvinism that is not of our kind, and it is okay to blame the foreign dogs.

But although the lives of the lower-class people now are miserable, the Paradise Illusion has broadened their horizons, and they have more knowledge than the farmers who used to face the loess and back to the sky.

Sorry, we can't listen to a word you said.

If you don't want to fight with Tasika, the Kingdom of Terra must be sick to cut off our Paradise Illusion!

Oh, she kidnapped the master's son, the master's wife and daughter, and even the master himself...

Hehe, what does it have to do with us ordinary people?

We have no other requirements, we just want to play games today!

In fact, the great powers are also reaping the fruits of their own actions.

There must be people who are easily fooled and willing to fight with them, and a considerable proportion.

But these people have long been consumed in the previous wars and turned into the power of faith of the church!

Those who are left now are all ordinary people who live honestly, are most enthusiastic about Paradise, and are willing to do all kinds of hard work to play games.

They have no way to retreat, and they can only hold on to their last dream and entrust their lives to the virtual world.

It is impossible to fight for the wishes of the monarch in reality.

So it is a dream to trick them into fighting.

Because they are completely disappointed with the rulers, many of their loved ones have been tortured into inhumanity by this world. There is nothing to protect, but they can live easily and freely.

No desire makes you strong. In the end, the only thing worth their lives is the right to play games...

At this moment, whether it is elves, goblins, dwarves or undead, they all have a unified name:

Players!

The lower-class people from all over the country, the deep addicts of Paradise, surrounded the local official residences and the palace, creating an extremely terrifying wave.

If they were to meet them in the past, they would certainly be greeted by the iron hooves and steel knives of the Knights, but now these lambs with another level of player identity are fundamentally different from the mobs who were starving to the limit and desperate in the past:

They have strong bodies because of fast food, have a fairly high level of fighting skills because of the training of games, and some have mastered the command skills of playing strategic games...

The vanguard who tried to suppress them with violence after a simple contact found that the mobs gathered this time were very hard to chew!

Seeing that the coalition forces of the great powers did not come out, but their hometown was about to collapse and was ready to compromise with Tasika.

The representative of the Qingteng Empire, who was the second-in-command of the military and the commander of the intelligence department Dark Night Guard, Archduke Roger Charles, took the initiative to attend the summit of the great powers.

"Lord Luo, what do you think of this visit?" The Elf Queen asked elegantly.

Roger took off his hat and bowed: "I am exporting two technologies on behalf of the Empire, Fearless Space and Gene Targeted Editing. I wonder if you are interested?"

Instantly, countless eyes focused on him, and they all remembered that the Paradise Illusion was just a technology that Terra copied from the Qingteng Empire...

So, they have another choice?
