"Hello goddess, we have notified them, please wait here."
"Okay, please."
"It's my pleasure."
The logistics staff responsible for the reception returned to their posts, while Bai Yanghua and I sat in the lobby waiting for Meng Xilu to appear.
In fact, I think things like reception and reception can be completely done by the AI Ai Jiang, but she said that the traditional method is retained to be more "human". Communication between people should minimize the number of intermediaries, so that
Effectively improve human emotional intelligence and reduce the existence of social barriers. If humans deal with machines and AI all day long, humans will lose their normal communication capabilities and become machines that can only send and receive clear instructions.
However, I don't fully agree with her statement, because this guy is incompatible with the concept of "cold AI" in all aspects. This naughty guy is more difficult to get along with than ordinary people, and being able to deal with it is definitely emotional.
Master.
"Amy, can I ask a sensitive question?"
Bai Yanghua, who was drinking tea, suddenly stared at me and asked.
"I won't answer any random questions here."
I immediately became wary.
"Ha...you're willing to answer it in private, right...don't worry, I'm asking a serious question."
"Then ask."
"You are gods. Why don't you restrict human thoughts and instead help humans explore the world? Aren't you afraid that one day they will become stronger and kill you?"
Bai Yanghua's eyes flickered, confused and worried.
"Are you afraid that I will be killed one day?"
"Isn't it a classic drama for a mortal to become powerful and arrogantly want to kill a god?"
"But we don't have any classic plots here. We like to pioneer and innovate. You know Yanghua, the concept of our group of gods is completely different from the concept of gods you know. We just use the more widely accepted concept of gods.
It's just a title. If we want, we can let mortals call us 'little cutie' or 'big beauty'."
"What?"
"Yanghua, why do you think my fans...my believers believe in me?"
"What kind of problem is this? Isn't it right for believers to believe in their own gods? Otherwise, what kind of believers would they be?"
"There has to be a practical reason, right?"
"Uh... brainwashed? Do you need any practical reason to believe in religion?"
"Then how do you think I brainwashed them?"
"This... must be very good to them. It has fulfilled many of their wishes... No matter how you look at it, you don't look like the kind of person who cheats and plays tricks... God."
"But I have never fulfilled any believer's wish, nor have I given them any benefits, nor have I blessed anyone."
"Then why do they still believe you?"
"Because they like me, they like me from the bottom of their hearts."
"Why do I like you if you don't give me any benefits... Oh, by the way! Those zither peripherals of yours..."
"That doesn't count! Don't talk about those things!"
"Then please explain~"
"Giving benefits to believers in exchange for their faith, or simply relying on deception, is something that only exists in the traditional belief system. In essence, it is still exploitation. And we do not need to obtain anything from believers, let alone them.
You have no brain to believe in us. In fact, our believers have no faith in us at all, which means ignorance and bigotry. We have always encouraged people to read more, think more, ask if they don’t understand, and just say if they are dissatisfied. This is the same as the traditional meaning
There is an essential difference between the divine religions in the world.”
"So you are wondering why there are still believers like this?"
"Because they trust us, respect us, and recognize us, they believe that with the joint efforts of the two, the world will become a better place. We and believers are not unilateral unconditional worship, but mutual trust. They believe in us
Decision-making, and we believe in their potential, only through the cooperation of both parties can we get to where we are today. We did encounter a lot of resistance at the beginning and took a lot of coercive measures, but there are people who are willing to believe and support us. They see that
We sincerely think about this civilization. Without their help, this civilization would not be able to move so smoothly. If we had not obtained their approval, then what you see today would not be such a vibrant and beautiful city.
It is a civilized prison where everyone has a numb expression. We are partners with humans, and their respect and love for us are spontaneous, not something we obtain through transactions or coercion."
"...This is the same as you persisting in licking me and finally changing my mind and licking me, right?"
"Bai Yanghua, I think you may still need training. Don't you know how much you weigh? How dare you say that I am licking you?"
"Oh, am I just trying to adjust the atmosphere? Your serious and reasonable look is too boring. I learned this trick from you~"
"You've had facial paralysis for several years and you still don't feel bored."
"Who said that? It's just that I had no choice but to accept your facial paralysis."
"Forget it. In short, our relationship with humans is similar to that of teachers and students, working together for a common purpose. The relationship formed in this way is solid and rational. People will not blindly follow us, and we will not allow them to become fools.
"
"But my problem still exists. The human heart is a terrible thing. How can you guarantee that humans will not point their guns at their former mentors when they become stronger?"
"This question is very simple. We will always be better than ordinary people, so there is nothing to worry about."
"Why are you so confident?"
"First of all, this is determined by the nature of the world. Our goddess is the world itself. If our goddess really dies, no other mortals can survive. If they die, everyone will die together. Secondly, the development speed of mortals is really not enough for us.
Look, we are the most greedy and expansionist civilization. Yanghua, you don’t think we are the kind of boring gods who have been on the throne for tens of thousands of years, do you?”
"It certainly doesn't look like it. At least your clothes are very trendy."
"To tell you the truth, my going to your world to save you is just a main mission. There is also a hidden mission that I didn't tell you."
"what is that?"
"Collect all the information about your world and lay the foundation for sending people to take over that world."
"Ah? You are actually invading..."
"No, no, no, don't talk nonsense, we just pick up things that no one wants and take them home. Not every world has gods...I mean gods in the true sense like us. A world without gods means
Chaos and lawlessness mean that no one will be happy. You should know what absolute freedom feels like. Do you think that is good?"
"not good at all……"
"That's it, so the way we go about taking over the world is actually similar to a philanthropist bringing home stray children to discipline and support them. Doing this kind of thing is troublesome and laborious, with no substantial reward at all, and it's often not flattering.
And it will never be finished. So what are we aiming for? Isn’t it just to make everyone live happily?"
"Then...why do you want to make everyone happy? Is it because you are gods?"
"Of course not. The reason why we do this is also very simple, incredibly simple."
"what is it?"
"It's because of interest, because we like it, because we are happy, because we will feel happy when we see mortals being happy. There is no other reason other than that."
"Ah? That's it? Isn't there some profound reason like 'it's just the way it is'?"
"Not at all, there is no such thing as natural law. We like to save the world, and there is no essential difference between you like to open houses randomly. We just want to have fun."
"Why are you still talking about this? I haven't done anything in years!"
"Don't get excited, it's just an analogy."
"Then you are also stimulated to save the world? I did it for a tragic reason before!"
"You can say so, because I feel the darkness of the world... That's why Lingmei wants to change the world and give everyone happiness."
"is it possible?"
"Whether it is possible or not, we are working hard, that's it."
"Oh...I probably understand..."
"No, you don't understand."
"ah?"
"There is another reason I didn't tell you, and this reason accounts for at least half of the credit."
"Why is it so powerful?"
"I've told you before, right~ I'm a world-class super idol. A beautiful girl like me who is absolutely beautiful, cute and talented, how short-sighted do you have to be to reject my charm?"
