Chapter 498 Advancement and Price
I am Lu Damu, male, 31 years old, a new alien.
If you are not an expert, you are a newcomer, no matter how old you are.
I had a dream while taking a nap today.
In the dream, billions of resentful spirits were resurrected, and I was the only conscious one.
Revenge, wandering, questioning, tracking...
I don’t know, where do these resentful spirits come from so much hatred?
Looking at the image, they are all my compatriots, so they shouldn’t be.
This kind of hatred should not exist.
Creatures like ghosts can only exist for a few decades at most; and the world has been peaceful for hundreds of years.
Could this be a sign of things to come?
…………
Lu Damu washed his face, then sat in a large house of 250 square meters, staring at the busy traffic outside the window in a daze.
31 years old, 4 years left before the deadline.
But I don’t know when, being brave and diligent became a joke.
The progress of the alien species has been slow, and every day has been wasted, and time has passed silently.
The deadline is approaching day by day.
Once upon a time, he thought he could break through to the xenogeneic expert in one go.
On a professional forum for aliens, you can often see various geniuses showing up and saying that it is too late to become an expert at 30, and now they are 20 years old.
How does this make the 31-year-old feel embarrassed?
So I slowly left the forum.
Later, he broke away from various regular groups. He could not bear the young newcomers who slowly surpassed himself in cultivation progress.
This is an escape.
He knew very well, but one of the things people like to do most is to do it even though they know it is wrong, because it can give them a moment of comfort and ignore the harm in the distance...
“Bang!”
There was a noise outside the window. What fell?
At first glance, it turned out to be a laptop computer, broken into parts on the hard ground downstairs, and then there was a quarrel next door.
“Smash it, if you have the guts, smash it all!”
“It’s too late!”
It’s too late, why don’t they all die?
He thought with malice.
The quarrel continues, and so does the daze.
No one is sorry for me. My parents are already the best to me. The Inspectorate gave me another subsidy yesterday. My neighbors also respect me very much. Only the family next door is sometimes noisy.
But he can move to the suburbs.
It’s just that he didn’t move.
His alien species is a species of sadness and needs social interaction...
And he is a very smart person. After knowing his alien characteristics, he deliberately avoided some tragedies.
Now that I think about it, is this probably the reason why the alien species has been unable to progress?
Sometimes, he was thinking that the protagonists of the novels he had read, the protagonists of mainstream sadism, probably all had a seed of sadness integrated into them. The more miserable they were, the greater the power they would explode in the end.
So I need to be orphaned, be divorced, be married into a wife, be slapped in the face...
Do you really want to choose one of them?
Lu Damu thought so.
It seems that marrying into a wife is not bad. There happens to be a wealthy family who wants me to marry his 200-pound daughter. The advantage is that the other person’s billions of wealth will be inherited by me and his daughter’s children. It doesn’t matter even if I can’t become a xenogeneic expert. .
In short, you can’t kill your parents...
That is the final bottom line.
Well, marrying a wife who weighs 200 pounds should be sad enough, enough to advance yourself to a xenogeneic expert.
I still have time, I still have a chance, I can still afford this sacrifice.
Lu Damu stood up excitedly.
The noise next door also reached its peak.
“Pong!”
Another crash.
He looked over and saw a body that had fallen downstairs.
Why don’t you install King Kong Net in your home?
He thought this way, that way, there would be no problem of jumping on impulse. He didn't feel the slightest sadness, and people's joys and sorrows are not connected.
"Ah! Sasha, why are you doing this?"
A man's heartbreaking voice came from next door again.
“Pong!”
Another sound.
Lu Damu stood up slowly and came to the 30-square-meter balcony. He looked down and saw that this was the 20th floor. There was no need to save him.
Two vague human bodies fell on the solid ground, like two blooming blood flowers.
A single life is so fragile... A little damage can lead to death.
You must become a xenogeneic expert, and you must succeed no matter how hard it is.
I would rather die than be mediocre!
While he was thinking this, he didn't notice that one of his hairs suddenly turned white.
…………
What Lu Damu didn’t notice, Wen Rensheng saw through the surveillance camera.
The relationship between the two deceased people was actually very good, but they had been quarreling frequently in recent times.
The reason is also very simple. It is nothing more than some trivial matters, the question of whether to have a child or not to have a child...
But in Wen Rensheng's view, this is obviously affected by a mysterious influence. , these are two sacrifices.
Lu Damu is not an ordinary person, not a novice mutant, but an experienced person. If you want to break through his psychological defense, you can't do it without adding some heavy materials.
The last death of a man for love should be the death of a woman, so that the other person wakes up.
He sighed endlessly. Ordinary people were too vulnerable when faced with mysterious disasters, just like soldiers facing machine guns directly.
He continued to read.
One day, two days, three days, until two weeks later.
Lu Damu finally changed.
After he married the 200-pound wife, he changed.
…………
Lu Damu was sitting in the villa in a daze, hearing the nagging accusations of his newly married wife.
“Look at other people, they have become xenogeneic experts at the age of 20, and they are so handsome. Look at you, you are already in your 30s, you have not become an expert yet, you are in a daze all day long, what do you want to do? I’ll have to die to see you succeed!”
People are indeed never satisfied.
It’s only been two weeks.
Lu Damu recalled how happy the fat woman was when he agreed to go on a blind date and date with her.
But now, I am immediately dissatisfied.
The target that the other party uses for comparison is something that he can never catch up with.
There is always a kind of person that you know you can't catch up with when you go to school. No matter how many hours you study a day, if you can't catch up, you just can't catch up.
He didn’t want to say to this woman, why don’t you look at yourself?
If it weren’t for your father’s money, no, if it wasn’t for advancement, would I marry you?
However, he will not say this out loud, after all, this is his choice.
He has to bear it.
As a man, he has to bear this responsibility, and no one will sympathize with him.
No qualifications for sympathy.
Now he suddenly knew why the previous couple suddenly reached the stage of death.
It turns out that quarrels in life are such a terrible thing.
There is someone in your ear who can legitimately accuse you.
You can't fight, you can't kill, you can only endure.
If you live like this for too long, it’s like living in hell.
No wonder someone has calculated that the largest number of homicides occur between families.
The closer you are, the more damage will be done.
What a sad thing.
When he realized this, he suddenly felt the strange thing in his chest seem to beat a little.
I see, this is the price of advancement.
