Chapter 402: King of Surprises

Chapter 402: King of Surprises
The world view of "From the New World" is set more than a thousand years in the future. President Jian believes that the biggest loophole is - why technology has not developed in more than a thousand years, but has declined into an agricultural age.

In other words, even if the world in the setting has experienced a major disaster and all technology has been destroyed, more than a thousand years is enough time for development to begin again.

Soon, the following plot content gave an explanation.

The reason why technology has not been developed is because humans are too strong!

The first chapter tells about the "rat". They are very mean, treating adults with magical powers as gods and eyeing children who have not awakened.

Because humans really became gods, more than a thousand years ago, the first mutant who awakened the power of magic destroyed a city and demonstrated enormous abilities.

As more and more cursed people awaken, the world order collapses.

It even split into several major power systems. The Slave Dynasty, a Dragon Kingdom with 570 emperors in its 69-year history, is a model where a minority of cursed people rule over the majority of ordinary people.

Hunters are a general term for people who live in seclusion in the mountains and avoid being hunted by the dynasty. They have no magical powers.

The plunderers are a collective term for families of cursed people who attack and kill everywhere.

Finally, there is the technological group that inherited the previous historical civilization.

The world has become a world of jinrikyu, and each jinrikyu has the destructive power of a nuclear bomb.

The place where the protagonists live is in the divine area on a hill somewhere, which is the city of transformed rats.

"No wonder technology has turned into the agricultural age. When humans become gods, they are comparable to nuclear bombs and do not need external forces." President Jian found it interesting that the gods on Mount Asgard would not study mathematics, physics and chemistry.

"Strictly speaking, it is indeed a soft science fiction setting, but the name is very religious." President Jian, who is a veteran in the industry, saw through it at a glance.

Think about it, if the cursed power is replaced by telekinesis that is developed to the extreme in the brain, and the awakened cursed power becomes genetic inheritance, and the cursed power user becomes a genetic mutant, wouldn't it be completely covered with the skin of soft science fiction?

"Xiao Gu has so many little thoughts."

It is true that the above science fiction terms, or more professional explanations, can be easily found in today's information age. But from the reader's perspective, religious terms may seem baffling and a bit awkward when reading a book, but once the atmosphere is established, you can enjoy a different reading experience.

"Religion in the world is the most sci-fi thing."

More interesting settings are coming.

The abilities of every Curse Power user are so strong that if they are not restricted, the world of Ragnarok will be destroyed in a matter of minutes.

Therefore, the cursed user uses his ability to change the DNA, adding attack suppression to reduce the aggressiveness.

At the beginning of the awakening of the ability, the structure of shame is added, which acts on genes and subconsciousness. Once the same kind is attacked, the telekinesis will be subconsciously activated. The kidneys and parathyroid glands will stop functioning. The body will be triggered to react adversely as a warning. If the attack continues, it will suffocate and die due to hypocalcemia.

"No wonder if you fail to awaken your cursed power, you will be secretly taken away. If you are not a cursed power user, you can ignore the punishment brought by the shame death mechanism and slaughter your own kind at will. And the cursed power user cannot resist because of the shame death mechanism." President Jian said, "When did Xiao Gu become a strong setting? This setting is really interesting."

God-like humans do not develop technology, but in order to survive they must control themselves from harming their own kind. The logical line of the setting is very smooth.

President Jian has read too many books and guessed a lot about the following content.

The evil spirits that adults say scare children come from the guilt mechanism. Because the attack inhibition and guilt mechanism in the DNA of this type of people are inherently useless, a bit like antisocial personality?
I guessed the subsequent development of the plot. The death of the protagonists gradually expanded the worldview...

If this book merely describes a bizarre world, it can only be considered a masterpiece.

The subsequent "Rebellion of the Rat" is the essence of the work, and the reason why the work can reach the level of a masterpiece.

This evaluation was not made by Gu Lu. Many book reviewers in Japan gave extremely high evaluations to this book.

“Good, good, good!” President Jian stood up excitedly, muttering a paragraph that was not obvious in the book, “Leaving the Suokou Hill and looking back, I saw one thing clearly - our hill is very twisted.”

The Kamisima area is a group of buildings built on a series of small hills.

Bang—the door of the study closed. Aunt Fang closed it. She thought it was nice to see her husband reading quietly, but walking around excitedly and talking to himself would ruin the atmosphere.

The people inside were unaware.

“When a person becomes a god, his power is too great and it becomes more difficult to control him. Even a child who has the slightest possibility of becoming a ghost will be ruthlessly wiped out. No wonder the introduction says it’s bloody.” Only after reading it did President Jian understand why the story started with the disappearance of children one by one.

"With the religious atmosphere, this is a very unique work." President Jian is old and has not watched many Japanese anime, which reminds him of "Psycho-Pass", which uses big data to monitor and calculate a person's criminal intent. President Jian does not like this kind of predictive crime because it is inhumane to deprive a child of his freedom or life just because it is "possible".

But in the new world (as the characters in the book call themselves), if a child "may make mistakes", should his life be taken away?
After a while, he thought that it should be, because humans with divine power have too much destructive power.

"It's anti-utopia, and it profoundly expresses that humans cannot possess too much power." President Jian was still not satisfied.

In terms of psychology and sociology, it is a true hard science fiction. This also proves that the core of the work is what the subject matter is.

A vivid example is that science fiction online novels, no matter how advanced the settings are, are still fantasy novels about leveling up and fighting monsters.

"Wait, am I forgetting something?"

"Oh yeah, the spiritual sequel to Flowers for Algernon, could it be..."

A surprise for President Jian. First send it to his editor for proofreading, then send a message to Xiao Gu.

……

The correspondents stationed in France also sent messages back. The editor-in-chief agreed to the proposal made by Xiaoxiang, a reporter from the Global Times.

Because no Chinese writer has ever had such a great international influence.

The people at the Chinese Embassy in France are also very satisfied at the moment, and the change in direction of the new ambassador Bruno has been going very smoothly.

"Mr. Bruno, you have completely mastered the embassy in just one week. Your ability is truly amazing." The secretary is still Dibo's former secretary, whose Chinese name is Bai Daen. It seems that in order to do things better in China, he imitated a great Canadian communist. On the surface, it is an ideology, but in the heart it is all business.

The entire administrative system of the embassy remained unchanged, only the ambassador was parachuted in.

"The two ministers no longer have any objections to any of Mr. Bruno's proposals," said Bai Dan. "When Mr. Dibo Pengpeng took over, things were not so smooth."

Having served as the Secretary-General of the Embassy's Office for seven or eight years, Bai Danen knows very well how to say things that the leaders like.

"Because we all have the same goal, which is to fight for the revival of France." Bruno likes the word revival very much because it was once great.

"Culture helps the country too little. Ambassadors should bring greater benefits to the country," Bruno said, once again emphasizing that his direction is correct.

"Of course, everyone believes it." Bai Dan nodded decisively. Bai Dan felt that Dibo and Bruno were far less capable, and the former was really... of little help to the country.

"Okay, let's do it," Bruno said.

The French Embassy in China is taking action.

To be honest, Gu Lu might as well change his Internet ID to King of Surprises.

It was a surprise for President Jian, and it will soon be a surprise for the Embassy in China, and it was also a surprise for the Chinese party who was away on official business.

Teachers from Lion City gathered.

"Teacher Chen Qian, you brought so many students today?"

"Hmm? Teacher Lin Jin has quite a few students."

"Look over there, Teacher Chen Wenyan."

"Why are there so many people? Teacher Chen... Teacher Chen Qian, does your school have any special arrangements?"

It is highly recommended that translation is a mandatory arrangement.

There were three teachers with the surname Chen at the scene.

Chen is Tan, which is the most common surname in Singapore. There are more than 5 million people in Singapore, and nearly 500,000 of them have the surname Chen. Therefore, it is normal that there are so many people named Chen that it is hard to tell them apart.

The man in his forties with a little baldness is Chen Qian, a Chinese teacher at Nanyang Middle School. He currently teaches two classes of Grade 8 students.

"We won't give any special advice and encourage free registration," Chen Qian said. "The school also feels it's strange. Last year there were only two or three students, but this year there are more than a dozen."

"One. We only had one student last year." Teacher Chen Wenyan, who is actually in her thirties but looks like she's in her forties or fifties based on her clothes and hairstyle, came over to talk. "Last year, Zhonghua Middle School had the most students, but they came here because the school suggested it."

The "Heroes of Chinese Teaching" activity is held during the summer vacation. Participation is voluntary. The key point is that you will most likely have to write a short essay after participating.

The above factors make 80% of students unwilling to sign up. The remaining % who signed up cannot come due to various reasons.

There are more than 300 primary and secondary schools, and teachers from more than 20 schools participated in the event. The total number of students who arrived is enough to make up a large class. This is normal.

But as more and more teachers came, the venue of more than 200 square meters was no longer enough.

The teachers also realized the seriousness of the problem.

“Why did you sign up?”

Lin Jin, a 28-year-old young man, is a mathematics teacher at Huaqiao Middle School and is currently the head teacher of a first-grade class. It is not considered overtime during the holidays. After all, participating in this event can also add some points to your academic resume.

There were five or six students in front of him, none of whom were from his class, and Lin Jin didn't know them. He spoke more gently to students he didn't know, but was much more stern to students in his own class.

"Wang Dadong definitely can't beat Gu Lu. Gu 123 Lu seems to be the strongest in the twelve time and space."

"What do you mean the strongest among the twelve time and space? The flame messenger of the golden time and space laughed. The combat power index is 1 with 30 zeros behind it."

"When Gu Lu was born, the twelve time and space were all shaking. Xia Tian's full name is Xia Lanxingde Tian, ​​because he is a member of the Xia Lanxingde family. And Gu Lu is called Gu Yi Er San, because he is the first, second, and third genius in time and space."

That's right, the junior high school students of Huaqiao Middle School were arguing about who was stronger in the Ultimate Series.

During the four or five years that Gu Lu was cultivating, Taiwan launched works such as "Ultimate Three Kingdoms", "Ultimate Family" and "Ultimate Class One", in which Neon's title of "the No. 1 High School Student in History" was borrowed, and Gu Yi Er San Lu was based on Gu Lu. The most classic plot was the "Defeat of the Eighteen-Nation Alliance".

Seriously speaking, Hong Kong dramas used to have an absolute influence on the Singapore market. After the millennium, mainland dramas replaced Hong Kong dramas, and co-productions between Singapore and the Mainland were frequent.

These two situations actually ignore the fact that Taiwanese dramas have been steadily output since their inception. Therefore, Gu Lu's books have basically not been systematically sold in Singapore, but their fame is surprisingly high due to other factors.

Lin Jin was a little stunned. What was going on?
What is the twelve time and space? He thought his Chinese was pretty good, but at the moment he couldn't understand what the students were discussing.

"Enough! Can you stop being so childish and say something useful?" A student with a flat head from Huaqiao Middle School shouted.

It can be seen that students with flat heads have great prestige in the hearts of students in Huaqiao Middle School. They are either school bullies or academic masters.

The student with the flat head said to the teacher, "Teacher, they are talking about the plot of a Taiwanese drama. There is a character in the Taiwanese drama who has a prototype in real life. This prototype is the guest of the event."

The prototype character of the TV series?

Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief that there were still reliable classmates in his school.

The next second, I heard Flathead explaining why he signed up, "I'm here to see the basketball masters. Write the ending and be invincible on the court!"

As he spoke, the guy with the flat head made a shooting motion, then looked at a place a few meters away, as if he had made a three-pointer.

"..."

Lin Jin looked at Pingtou and felt that there was a generation gap between himself and his students.

Soon, his feelings spread rapidly to other teachers.

Because the more than 200 students at the scene seemed to have found common interests and began to discuss.

"I heard that when Gu Lu and Lu Ping joined the club in their first year of high school, they played 1v1 for half an hour to compete for the captaincy of the team." "I heard that they played for two hours, and it was so intense that Gu Lu had a higher basketball IQ and won the game to become the president of the basketball club, while Lu Ping was the main player of the basketball club." "To be honest, I don't think basketball players who can't cook are good writers!"

The three greatest joys for the second-rate monkey are "meeting his wife in an obscure circle", "having a like-minded person from outside the area", and "having their CP stamped". Currently, one of the following is met, so more and more students are joining the discussion.

Eighty percent of the students at the scene came for Gu Lu. For ordinary students, the three items of registration and boring homework are nothing to the two-dimensional world. After all, the two-dimensional world is the one that is most afraid of trouble, but also the one that is least afraid of trouble.

"Is pork ribs stewed with pomegranate really delicious? It seems delicious in the anime, but my mind tells me it's a bit dark." "Is Gu Lu's Sichuan fruit series really that delicious?" "I really want to eat it." "Does he have 48 hours in a day? He can write, play basketball, and cook."...

Shogakukan's branch in Singapore is also known as Shogakukan Asia. Most Japanese publishing houses choose Singapore as their Asian headquarters.

In other words, Singapore is completely influenced by Japanese comics.

It's getting lively now...

When Gu Lu, Professor Lu and others arrived, they were stunned by the current situation.
