Chapter 281

Gao Zhanggong's guild hall is very large, and the internal facilities are very complete, fully enough for Wu Pifu and the others to stay. Wu Pifu naturally would not be polite.

They are friends who have been through life and death together. During the battle in the Land of Redemption, they were people who could entrust their backs to each other, so there was naturally no need to say anything more at this time.

That afternoon, the twelve newcomers went to learn about this world on their own, while Wu Pifu and Gao Zhanggong talked about the battle in the Land of Redemption at that time and the days since they parted.

"Everything else is trivial, nothing more than Dream World exploration, sanctuary management, networking, cultivating newcomers, finding more resources for extraordinary individuals and veterans... Basically, things only changed after the Land of Redemption appeared."

Gao Zhanggong poured a glass of brandy for Wu Pifu, poured one for himself, and then sat opposite Wu Pifu, saying while drinking: "To be honest, whether this Land of Redemption exists or not is simply two different things for us humans. Without it, we are like duckweed without roots, drifting with the tide. Even with Gaia and the Dream World sanctuaries, survival is not a problem, but as time passes, we humans will eventually lose our centripetal force and get lost in these countless Dream Worlds."

Wu Pifu nodded in agreement.

In fact, if it weren't for the negative backlash of his mind, and being watched and pulled by terrifying existences like the Unborn Mother and the even more unfathomable Buddha Realm, he would not have needed to return to Gaia after establishing a Level 5 sanctuary in the Song Dynasty.

The Main Brain does not have any subjective initiative, and they, as maintenance personnel, actually have no mandatory obligations.

If there were no Dream World and no such upheaval, they could only rely on Gaia for survival, honestly acting as maintenance personnel, and then wait until the time limit was reached or they died of old age, gambling on the final possibility of reaching a new solar system.

But with the upheaval of the Dream World, perhaps it is a tragedy for the entire human civilization, but for them, it is a great opportunity. Perhaps there is also the possibility of death, but they have truly escaped this cage and even have a more distant future.

Like Wu Pifu, he could completely be a king of the world in the 0.7 Song Dynasty Dream World, live for thousands of years, enjoy all the glory and wealth, and live out this life in style.

This is actually Gao Zhanggong's worry. As maintenance personnel become stronger, after passing the initial period of weakness in the Dream World, the vast majority of maintenance personnel will no longer risk their lives to venture anywhere, and will not even return to Gaia.

Where is it not a place to live?

Just as Wu Pifu said in the Super Soldier Dream World, it's only a few thousand a month, so why risk your life?

Over time, the human civilization from Gaia will inevitably dissipate, and the real world will completely merge into the Dream World.

Gao Zhanggong drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, exhaled, and said: "Such a future is not only seen by me alone; many people of insight have seen it, but this is the general trend, and we are helpless. At most, we can barely form a bond in the form of a team, but what is the use of this? The world is bustling for profit, and the world is jostling for profit. If merging into the world of dreams is more profitable, even if our generation can hold on to the real world, what about our next generation? In less than two hundred years at most, human civilization in the real world will completely perish, and Gaia... will probably become a dead silence."

Wu Pifu took a sip of wine and said casually: "We can imagine it, and Chu Minghao can too."

Gao Zhanggong smiled and said: "Exactly. Mr. Chu Minghao, he also thought of this, which is why there was the Battle of Redemption. That battle was actually a battle concerning the survival of our humanity. Although it was not a complete victory, we did get this piece of land of more than 200,000 square kilometers, and anyone can be designated to penetrate into this world through Gaia."

"This world is slightly higher than the 0.9 world and slightly lower than the real world, but there are no nightmares or monsters, and there is no need to worry about any external dangers. This is actually equivalent to our human second Earth!"

Wu Pifu nodded silently again.

Where Gaia is located is the 1.0 real world. This is indeed the ark of human civilization, but it is only an "ark." Human civilization in the real world has truly shattered the solar system, and they have no choice but to sail for thousands of years to the far reaches of the universe, and now this journey is not even halfway through.

Even if Chu Minghao really clears out the entire Gaia and creates a safe Gaia environment for all maintenance personnel and citizens, it is not a world, and there is no grass, ocean, or sky. To everyone, it is still just a huge spaceship.

But with this Land of Redemption, everything is different.

Humans of the same origin will slowly develop cohesion in this completely safe place that conforms to their political order and values.

"And after Mr. Chu Minghao took the oath to become president, he made a vow to open more redemption missions in the future, slowly expanding this world into a true second Earth for humanity, or even a super Earth. This is a great vow, and we all trust him. If he can't do it, no one in this world can. Precisely because of this, the branch of the Human Unified Government could be successfully established, and more and more maintenance personnel and citizens have awakened. They don't even want to enter the Dream World and have come directly here from Gaia. I don't know if this is good or bad."

Gao Zhanggong had some worries on his face, but this worry was about the same as "playing games will ruin your ambition, how can you pass the college entrance exam," which is not a truly important worry.

Wu Pifu just drank in silence, and Gao Zhanggong laughed happily and said: "It's also me thinking too much. In fact, regarding this, I have also had conversations and deductions with many people, including some original Unified Government think-tank personnel. Our view is that as the development of the Dream World continues and Gaia continues its voyage, as long as we humans can stabilize the current situation, in a hundred years at most, our human civilization will become a parallel world civilization, or a cross-Dream World civilization. This is a much higher type of civilization than a single cosmic civilization."

"Think about it. Continuing to sail toward the new solar system in the universe, we can continue to develop science and technology. At the same time, using this Land of Redemption as humanity's second home, we can expand our territory, multiply our population, and then adventurers can explore new technological branches from the Dream World, plus the return of the extraordinary power system, continuously feeding back to human civilization. By then, we humans will have both science and extraordinary power, the lifespan of the entire population will increase significantly, and our strength will increase significantly... A glorious future can be foreseen!"

"Our human civilization will become the savior of ten thousand worlds, bringing hope, peace, and power to rescue those worlds ruled by nightmares and monsters. Starting from this Land of Redemption, we will become the true light of redemption, rescuing all free people from top to bottom!" Speaking of this, Gao Zhanggong's face was full of excitement and hope, his eyes seemed to be shining, while Wu Pifu just drank silently.

Gao Zhanggong laughed at himself: "I'm already old, and I'm still so 'chuunibyou'... I've made you laugh."

"No."

Wu Pifu put down his wine glass and shook his head: "A very good future, I like it too."

Gao Zhanggong was overjoyed in his heart, and he earnestly said to Wu Pifu: "So Mr. Chu Minghao must exist. We only have him now to fight against those root-level horrors, and only he has the strength, the ability, and the prestige to integrate everything of humanity. And besides the threat of nightmares, we also have the threat of the restoration of the Company and the Human Revolutionary Alliance... Without Mr. Chu Minghao, all this glorious future is just a fantasy!"

"Mr. Wu Pifu, please help us rescue Mr. Chu Minghao!"

Gao Zhanggong stood up, extremely serious and solemn, and bowed sincerely and earnestly to Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu did not dodge; he took it as his duty.

After this bow, he stood up, clasped his fists solemnly, and said: "How could I refuse?"

Chu Minghao's temperament was already very much to his liking, and he had received great kindness from him. Although there was teasing and joking, he truly intended to save Chu Minghao, and he was willing to repay the kindness of a drop of water with a gushing spring. Even if he had to risk his life, he would definitely rescue Chu Minghao!

Gao Zhanggong felt relieved. He and Wu Pifu sat down, and Gao Zhanggong said to Wu Pifu: "Including Mr. Wu, there are a total of seven presidential candidates. Only when all presidential candidates are present can a Presidential Proxy Conference be convened. At this conference, each presidential candidate can propose one motion, and the seven presidential candidates will jointly decide whether the motion is passed. As long as there are four votes in favor, the motion can be submitted to the Main Brain as a legal motion judged by the Main Brain, and at the same time, partial control of the Main Brain can be obtained through this."

!

"This is also the great opportunity I mentioned for Mr. Wu to take this chance to enter the Main Brain and awaken the Super Brain attribute!"

Wu Pifu was naturally also eager for the Super Brain.

This is truly a super cheat, a real golden thigh. If he could awaken the Super Brain, not to mention being as powerful as Chu Minghao or as bizarre as Liang Min immediately, at least he would have the true core power to strive to catch up.

And if he were truly the Infinite Super Brain of the future, then his future potential would be infinite!

Gao Zhanggong said with a hint of worry: "Currently, two other presidential candidates have clearly stated that they want to rescue Mr. Chu Minghao, but the thoughts of the other four presidential candidates are uncertain... I am contacting some old friends, as well as senior extraordinary individuals known to Mr. Wu. They all have great influence and also have great... in this Land of Redemption."

"No need."

Wu Pifu waved his hand and said: "How do we hold the meeting? A web conference?"

Gao Zhanggong was stunned for a moment and said: "No, it will be held in the government building here in the Land of Redemption as a real-world meeting."

"Then that's settled."

Wu Pifu felt at ease and said: "I will give them a chance to convince me. If there is a reasonable argument for temporarily not rescuing him, then I will listen. But if it is just for the sake of fighting for power and profit, or if they really treat Chu Minghao as a consumable to suppress the Weekend, then..."

Wu Pifu shook his head slightly, and he didn't say the rest.

A real-world meeting, in one room—wouldn't they all be within five steps of him?

If there really were such people, then it would be nothing more than being within arm's reach...

A man against a country, that's all!
