Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1938 Rat

Not all young people in this world are capable. Some don't cultivate themselves, can't earn money, and belong to the lower class. Many people bully them. Under these circumstances, they are forced to take risks. They were once ambitious young people, but perhaps for some reason, they gradually lost their faith. But many years later, they are willing to leave their homes for an opportunity. Even so, many people are unwilling to live this kind of life. After all, in this world, many people believe they can live off their savings, as long as they can find a way to survive at the lowest cost. Many people are afraid of death; they are unwilling to work hard or strive for improvement, and just want to eke out a living. But many people want to give themselves a second chance at a new life, a fresh start. Before they have the strength to go to the pseudo-realm, they have no registered residence in the Great World. This is like canceling their registered residence, giving themselves another chance to restart. If they fail, they can go and train for hundreds or even thousands of years. If they succeed, they will be among the elite. Opportunities to rise above others are rare, but those people are willing to try. This is the current situation of young people in the Great World. They don't care about winning or losing, they don't care about life or death, they only care about whether they still have a chance. As long as they don't die, as long as they have a chance, they are likely to win. What they are fighting for is not winning or losing, but their happiness for the rest of their lives. If they are just living a miserable life, in many people's eyes, it is better to die. Although I don't think so, I have to admire them. I asked the master if it was possible for an ordinary person to return. The master smiled, this time the project wasn't benevolent, but rather somewhat exaggerated: "Hahaha! What you're saying is really interesting. Let's talk about it. The pseudo-world, like the great world, has leaders and families. There aren't large families, but small families. This is to echo the large families mentioned earlier. Actually, the small families here are very powerful. If there's only one spot each year, do you think those people would give it to an outsider or to a member of their own small family? Your answer would definitely be to give it to a member of their small family, right?" Hearing that my answer was the same, I nodded. The master continued, "So that's the problem. If those people have arranged everything exceptionally well for their descendants, those..." Their descendants went to the Great World long ago. Why are they still staying there? Why insist on inheriting the family's businesses instead of trying to return? It's all a trap, a scheme. Those people dedicate their entire lives to returning to the Great World, but what good will it do them? Do you think they can escape their primitive way of life? Perhaps not. They'll return the same way they came. If they don't succeed, they'll have to start all over again. They'll never be satisfied with the status quo. Many who understand the situation willingly join smaller families or even form their own organizations to fight against them and the people of this world. Now I'm curious about the outcome of this struggle. Can they really win? Or are they destined to lose? After all, the leaders of both the Great World and the pseudo-world are very powerful. Even if they suddenly realize the truth, what will happen? The master didn't give me the answer, but told me to think about it myself first. Then he reminded me that the most important thing in this pseudo-world was rats. I was curious why rats, and he said they were mythical beasts, mythical beasts symbolizing good fortune. I nodded. He said if I saw rats there, I must not catch them, let alone hit them. If I saw them, I should report to my superiors. Catching or hitting them would be an even greater crime. After hearing this, I repeated it to my companions, afraid that one of them would forget and we would all be blamed. The master also told me that rats were actually a mysterious symbol in that world, symbolizing that people must be like rats, filling their pockets to the brim. Rats eat grain, while those people want energy. After hearing this, I finally understood that those people were actually very greedy. Mentioning the word "greed," the master seemed to be intrigued: "This word is accurate. Those people are greedy, no matter how much they want, they will never have enough. What they want is not money, not currency, and not just energy. What they want is supreme power and status, and the feeling of being satisfied."
