Chapter 1241: Born in Worry, Die in Comfort: Hidden Dangers Across the Realms (4/5, Request Subscription)

Su Xiao: "That's true. Brother Taixuan may be lustful, but he's got a compassionate heart!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Skip the first part! 【Sigh】"

Su Xiao: "【True】Skip it?"

【Ding, Su Xiao has been muted by the admin for one minute.】

Hu Yifei: "Laughing—looks like whenever my husband becomes admin, only Su Xiao gets punished."

Xiao Mai: "She's too naughty, constantly provoking—of course she needs to be suppressed."

Anlieta: "The Dao Lord's method is excellent! It applies pressure to the people without harming them, and even gives the world a new specialty."

Ye Hei: "This is indeed a good method. The people, the world, and the queen all benefit."

Han Paopao: "Who knows? In the end, the world might even ascend because of this!"

Li Shimin: "All of this rests on the Dao Lord's divine powers—we couldn't learn it even if we tried."

Zhang Taixuan: "What? You all want to give your own worlds some beast laws too?"

Li Shimin: "Can we?"

Su Xiao: "No way, no way—your world is also in crisis because of lack of external pressure?"

Li Shimin: "Pretty much. Mencius once said: 'Born in hardship, die in comfort.' Our world is too peaceful—so peaceful that even common folk have no drive to cultivate or farm."

Su Xiao: "So what? Let the people enjoy themselves a bit. After all, they've suffered for so long!"

Li Shimin: "I used to think that too. Some people indulging in comfort didn't matter—as long as soldiers and officials stayed normal! But now, even officials and soldiers have started indulging—and that's a serious problem."

Li Shimin: "Indulgence requires resources. Where do officials and soldiers get their resources? When their salaries aren't enough, corruption and exploitation of the people begin."

Li Shimin: "Once that happens, society slides toward an unpredictable abyss."

Li Shimin: "Even the descendants of everyone are like this—no spirit, no ambition, spending their days cockfighting and dog-walking. If this continues, will humanity still be the race that once fought heaven and earth?"

Ye Hei: "This really is a big problem. Slacking off is fine, but if the next generation loses all spirit and ambition, what happens when war comes?"

Su Xiao: "You've unified the world—where's the war going to come from?"

Ye Hei: "Who knows what the future holds? A warlike spirit leads to ruin; forgetting war leads to peril. The peace they enjoy was given by us—once we leave, can they truly protect themselves?"

Li Shimin: "Exactly. No one can predict the future. So I plan to emulate the queen's world—assign some people to guard areas infested with beasts, rotating them so humanity always has warriors ready."

Ye Hei: "Who knows what the future holds? Those who love war will perish; those who forget war are in danger. The peace they enjoy is ours to give—once we leave, can they truly protect themselves?"

Ying Zheng: "Same here. Many commoners are so bored they've started causing trouble—almost sparked a civil war."

Hu Yifei: "Wasn't Qin law extremely harsh? Who dares cause trouble?"

Ying Zheng: "That law's been changed. Didn't the Dao Lord say we can't rely solely on brutal punishments?"

Su Xiao: "So people really do cause trouble when they're idle? Lucky me—my world has demons and monsters reviving, so everyone's busy. No need to worry about this."

Zhao Kuangyin: "Normal. When society is chaotic and life is uncertain, people riot. When society is stable and people have nothing to do, they still cause trouble. So we must ensure external pressure to drain their energy."

Xiao Mai: "Suddenly I wonder—aren't modern society's games, novels, and videos serving this exact purpose?"

Hu Yifei: "Xiao Mai's learning to draw analogies now."

Zhang Taixuan: "Exactly. Once people are idle and have no outlet for their energy, it becomes terrifying."

Xiao Mai: "Alright, I'm starting to understand Old Li's approach."

Xiao Mai: "Can we bring games into their world?"

Hu Yifei: "They're worried humanity's losing its fighting spirit and turning soft. Playing games all day—besides improving game controls and C programming—doesn't seem to build any spirit, does it?"

Su Xiao: "C programming? Haha, true."

Zhang Taixuan: "The beast laws have been refined and uploaded to Shangcheng. One virtual law allows beasts in a designated area to reach Body Refinement; two, True Qi; three, Five Phases… Pick your level, don't overdo it!"

Li Shimin: "Thank you, Dao Lord."

Ying Zheng: "Thank you, Dao Lord."

Anlieta: "Wait—a single law only costs 100,000 points? So cheap."

Zhang Taixuan: "Consider it a gift. I can create countless of them effortlessly."

Su Xiao: "I can't benefit from this bargain—so sad."

Zhang Taixuan: "The beast law has been refined and uploaded to Shangcheng. One phantom law allows beasts in a designated area to reach the Flesh Cultivation stage; two, the true qi stage; three, the Five..."

Su Xiao: "This is a total chance to scam the system! By the way, Master Qi Yu, how much have you earned lately? I saw you uploaded tons of monster corpses—seaweed monsters, crab monsters, and so on."

Qi Yu: "Lots of points. Even a normal monster gives a few points. Enough to buy plenty of groceries."

Qi Yu: "The chat group is great—now I'll never go hungry again."

Su Xiao: "That's so pitiful. Master Qi Yu is a powerhouse—yet he goes hungry!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Consider it a gift to everyone—I can create plenty with just a flick of my wrist."

Su Xiao: "I can't take advantage of this deal, I'm heartbroken."

Qiyu: "Is this even a deal?"

Su Xiao: "This is clearly a chance to fleece the system! By the way, Master Qiyu, how many points have you earned lately? I've seen you upload tons of weird corpse—like Seaweed Weirds,"

"Crab Weirds, and such."

Qiyu: "Lots of points—each ordinary weird gives a few points. Enough to buy plenty of food."

Qiyu: "The chat group is truly wonderful. With this chat group, I'll never go hungry again."

Su Xiao: "How pitiful you sound. Master Qiyu, you're a powerhouse—yet you have to go hungry!"
