Chapter 2953 The Timid Immortal, The Beginning of Doubt
What a bunch of bastards!
The middle-aged man looked at the group of idiots among the young people and couldn't help but feel very angry.
He pulled out a pistol and fired it into the air.
"Boom!"
"I'm telling you, this is true, I'm not joking!"
"The aliens are here to torment us, not to make friends!"
The next moment, the square, which had been filled with thousands of people, was completely deserted!
"Ah, murder!"
"Run!"
"I came out here to have fun, not to get shot!"
"I am immortal, I don't want to die so soon!"
Everyone made a hasty retreat.
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded.
Wenren Sheng, however, thought it was perfectly normal.
These people are all immortals.
As immortals, they naturally had no desire to risk their lives.
For those who die young, the value of their hard work is very high.
Since we only have a few decades to live, it's worth it to take a chance and, with a one in ten chance, achieve wealth and status.
After all, I can live like a human being for the rest of my days.
Is it better to live like a human for ten years, or like an animal for fifty years?
Many people, once they have experienced a lifestyle worse than that of animals, will firmly choose the former.
Don't forget, many people, even when they are well-fed and clothed, still become depressed and choose to end their own lives.
Don't even mention those animalistic lives, being beaten every day.
And now, these immortals are living too well.
It's fair to say that this group of people came here seeking thrills.
You now need to get these people to pick up guns and face the aliens.
How can it be?
And when they saw the middle-aged man actually fire a gun, these people were naturally afraid.
While they may look down on those who play virtual games, it doesn't mean they themselves have the courage to face aliens.
They didn't even have the courage to face a gun.
Although modern medicine is advanced, as long as their heads aren't smashed open, they can survive. This means they've become accustomed to these robots.
To everyone's surprise, the middle-aged man actually fired a shot.
They are unlikely to actually risk fighting aliens.
The middle-aged man shouted from behind, "You fools! If you run away too, then there will be no one to fight the aliens in the future!"
"Then we will all die!"
"You idiots, come back here!"
"BACK!"
"What? We're not going to welcome aliens, but to fight them?"
"How could this happen? We would never do such a thing."
"That's right, run! I thought we came here to have fun, but I didn't expect to have to risk our lives. Only an idiot would risk his life."
"We can't send those robots to fight aliens; we need to live a long life."
"Yes, let's go home and use virtual controllers to control robots and fight against aliens."
"In that case, everyone run!"
And so, everyone, without exception, fled.
It's fair to say that these people have absolutely no sense of responsibility.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart.
He never imagined that people had fallen to such a state.
"If this continues, we have absolutely no way to resolve the situation."
“They are all unwilling to listen to us.”
Wenren Sheng simply nodded, offering no advice.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man felt very frustrated.
He didn't know what to do.
He looked at the young man again, who also shook his head; he didn't know what to do either.
Wen Rensheng doesn't want to use his brain, while young people simply don't have brains to use...
All Wenren Sheng wants to do now is eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy some entertainment.
At this point, the young man reluctantly said, "We should inform the administrators about this; they should be able to handle it."
"Alright," the middle-aged man said helplessly.
His first step was impossible to complete.
It's like starting a business and having no budget at all.
He completely overlooked a crucial point: people today no longer have that kind of relentless drive.
In any mortal society, anyone who wants to succeed must rely on a powerful force.
You need to take advantage of this trend to gather strength and snowball your power.
Whoever has strong organizational skills and can gather more manpower and resources will ultimately win.
There are almost no exceptions.
Even if there are exceptions, they are due to powerful external forces that provide greater human and material resources.
For example, when everyone is very hungry, people usually don't dare to rob food, but when everyone is about to starve to death, they can go ahead and rob.
Because there is no worse consequence than starving to death.
This is an inevitable trend.
Whoever can follow the trend and the will of the people will be able to control this force.
It's obvious now.
The idea of an alien invasion hasn't been fully conceived yet, and it hasn't become something people fear.
Therefore, the middle-aged man's approach is bound to fail.
Wenren Sheng knew this from the very beginning.
He didn't object to the three steps proposed by the middle-aged man; he just wanted to have some fun.
In retrospect, it was indeed a failure.
This continues to prove his previous wise decisions.
So the three of them quickly went to find the administrator.
Finding the administrator is simple; just access the administrator's homepage directly on the virtual network.
The administrator was also very friendly.
He warmly received the three and expressed great concern for their concerns, promising to investigate them immediately.
It seems that this future world is quite humane.
The main issue is that there are no fundamental conflicts among the participants; their shared interests lie in how to engage in entertainment.
When it comes to entertainment, the more people there are, the more fun it is.
No matter how good a server or a game is, if no one plays it, even the best game will feel boring.
It's like playing a game. No matter how bad the game is, as long as there are many people, people will keep playing it.
After all, people are playing with people, not games anymore.
After the administrator patiently listened to their solution, he stopped laughing.
"You want to fight those aliens and drive everyone out of the virtual world?"
"Yes, we must return to reality."
"Okay, you're overthinking it. Actually, those aliens don't exist at all."
“I just checked the observatory’s data, and they said it was just some ordinary astronomical phenomenon.”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man became very angry.
They never expected that the other party would so blatantly deceive them.
"Those documents and information are all true."
"I can promise that."
"Yes, you can verify it by simply looking through a telescope."
The administrator didn't care what they were saying at all; he simply disconnected the link.
Wenren Sheng simply watched, wanting to know what they were going to do.
But the middle-aged man finally found a solution.
He took the young man and Wenren Sheng with him and decided to find some influential people.
Just like when people try to save their country, they first seek out those in high positions, hoping they can save the situation.
Soon they arrived at a country villa.
The villa's robot butler quickly let them in after they explained their purpose.
Wen Rensheng nodded again.
It seems that the hierarchy among people in this future world is not so strict.
Otherwise, the butler wouldn't have let them in so easily. You see, this villa covers a vast area, spanning tens of square kilometers.
It can be said to be completely equivalent to a small town in the modern world.
Now it belongs to a wealthy person.
They got into the robot butler's car and drove for half an hour before finally seeing each other in the living room.
There are no flying cars; for safety reasons, all vehicles here are tanks... The speed is relatively slow, only 56 kilometers per hour.
As a result, the three of them only saw one robot.
The other party said, "Our master entrusted me to come to see you."
"Please tell me why you've come."
The middle-aged man quickly explained his purpose for coming.
The robot said, "If aliens really exist, it is indeed a rather serious matter."
"We must act quickly."
"If this isn't handled properly, our good days may be over."
Unlike the administrator's negligence, this wealthy man seemed to be an elite; he was quite shrewd.
The other party has the principle of "better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't."
Wenren Sheng was quite able to understand the other party's strategy.
Trusting the other party will at most lead to wasted effort and being scammed.
But it doesn't matter to him given his wealth.
All we need to do is earn money through robots.
For those who live long lives, wealth is a false proposition.
Because as long as you work slowly, even if it's just delivering food, you can gradually become a millionaire.
Resources can be accumulated gradually.
Therefore, the wealthy believe what they say, or rather, they are not stingy with their words.
With the support of the wealthy, they received a large sum of money.
They received a grant of 500 million credits and access to 5 bots.
Then they sent out the five hundred robots to visit other people and tell them what they had seen.
These wealthy individuals expressed their belief and conducted verification.
At the same time, they have more and more money in their hands.
The middle-aged man and the young man were very happy.
But Wen Rensheng was quite strange.
He said to the two men, "Since these wealthy people are so capable, why didn't they discover these things earlier, instead of you having to inform them?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was also somewhat puzzled.
"I don't know why either, maybe they're addicted to the virtual world."
"So, they have forgotten these real-world issues."
Wen Rensheng found this explanation somewhat amusing.
It's actually quite simple; this is what's known as the "brain drain halo."
Before Wenren Sheng appeared, this world only followed the script.
Once Wenren Sheng appears, the world begins to function according to normal logic.
Before Wenren Sheng came in, those wealthy people probably had their minds restricted.
After Wenren Sheng entered the scene, these wealthy people should have been able to sense that something was amiss.
That's actually the case.
……
Immediately after they left, the wealthy man began asking the robot butler:
"Why didn't you inform me about something so important?"
The butler immediately apologized: "I'm so sorry, Master."
"I do not know why either."
"Everything on my to-do list is normal."
"But ever since that person appeared, new data has suddenly emerged."
"That data comes from the latest observatory data."
"It is said that after observation, some people saw a wormhole at the edge of the solar system."
"This has never happened before."
"They are still verifying it and are not sure if it is an astronomical phenomenon."
"Perhaps that's not a wormhole, and they're sending spaceships there."
"But the edge of the solar system is a full light-year away from us."
"That's too far off. Even the best fusion engine can only provide one-thousandth of the speed of light."
"It will take a thousand years to get there."
The wealthy man suddenly felt a headache coming on.
"Could it be that I've spent too much time in the virtual world, and I've become completely unguarded about these things?"
Logically, he should be paying close attention to these things.
After all, he is an immortal, and his life is very important.
"That's very likely, Master." This robot butler was quite adept at making excuses for himself.
After all, if it hadn't done that, it would have been destroyed long ago.
"That would be terrible."
"This means I've become a fool, only knowing how to cheat in the virtual world to play games."
"It's really terrible."
……
And at this time.
Wenren Sheng's side.
The middle-aged man and the young man, together with Wenren Sheng, arrived at the next place.
This is a wealthy man's villa that owns the largest private security company.
However, after they explained their purpose, the wealthy man became very angry.
The other party did not allow the housekeeper to open the door.
Instead, he shouted through the walkie-talkie:
"what are you guys saying?"
"Are you bunch of liars trying to fool me again?"
"Aliens, wormholes, it's all fake."
"My robot butler told me before you arrived that those things were fake."
"You're all liars, trying to gain status and attention!"
"What? Is that what your robot butler said?" the middle-aged man exclaimed in shock.
They immediately realized something was wrong. The previous tycoon had been very hospitable to them, so why was the next tycoon not welcoming them?
"Of course, it has never made a mistake and has served me for 5000 years."
The middle-aged man quickly pleaded, "That wealthy Mr. Chen already believes us."
"We're telling you it's dangerous because we mean well, why don't you believe us?"
"Mr. Chen? You actually fooled him, and now you're trying to fool me?" the security tycoon said angrily.
"To tell you the truth, all the robots have received the latest news."
"The notice clearly stated that a group of swindlers were deceiving people everywhere."
"One of their wealthy clients has already filed a police report."
"What? He actually reported us to the police? He was so friendly to us just now, and now he's calling us swindlers. How could this be?" The young man clearly hadn't grasped the deceit and treachery of the adult world.
The man in the middle knew this was normal, but he still felt very angry.
They never expected that things would turn out so badly just when they were about to finish.
And at this time.
The robot butler chased them away.
At the same time, a photo of an arrest warrant was sent to the three of them.
There were three people clearly visible above.
Wenren Sheng is positioned in the middle because he is the most photogenic.
The guest of honor is now a wanted criminal.
They were immediately speechless.
They had no choice but to flee.
To their surprise, 500 robots continued to follow them, protect them, and drive away the tigers.
This left them puzzled.
That wealthy man believed him as soon as he heard it.
Furthermore, the authorization for these 500 robots was not terminated.
“We need to escape outside the city. Only outside the city, in places without network coverage, is it safe.” The middle-aged man clearly had a lot of experience.
