Chapter 2168: The strong are always strong! (Fourth!) (1/2)
Li Yao was thinking about it, and could already think of the scene after the empire's high-speed expansion period ended. He blurted out: ”Thousands of words converge into one sentence-the resources in the universe are limited.”
”Yes.”
Li Linghai said indifferently, ”To be more blunt, since the empire’s ability to expand is limited and its territory is limited, the official positions, opportunities, and power that can be provided are also limited. After all, there can only be one realm master in a big world. A sect can only have one head, a fleet can only have one supreme commander, and even a spar mineral can only have one mine owner, right?
”This is the core of all contradictions.
”In the first five hundred years, the empire expanded vigorously. Those with vested interests have divided up the positions of world masters, fleet commanders, battle group leaders, overlords, heads, and even mine owners. !
”In the next five hundred years, the Imperial Expeditionary Forces have often been exploring for decades at no cost, and they have not been able to find a large world. Even if they have found it, it is a deserted and resource-depleted land. What is the use?
”Therefore, even the immortal cultivators born in the next five hundred years, even if they are exceptionally talented, have wonderful bones, dare to fight, and have great luck, it is impossible for them to reach the sky in one step as they did in the first five hundred years.”
Li Yao smiled and said: ”Isn't the immortal cultivator who pays attention to'the weak eat the strong and the strong respects'? Even if the cake cannot continue to grow, he can still grab someone else's cake!”
Li Linghai also smiled slightly: ”Do you think that the vested interests that are gradually solidified are all dead? Will you watch ambitious latecomers grab them, but don't make the first move?
”If you think about it with a pig's brain, you can know that the vested interests who have a lot of cultivation resources, magical powers, and even the Star Sea Fleet, and the idiots who have nothing but luck to awaken their spiritual roots and stumble all the way up to practice, who can have a better way to eat? Drop the whole cake!
”In short, in the first five hundred years of war fortune, the vested interests that have seized the'high ground' of the imperial politics, economy, military, culture and other fields have gradually solidified into large and small tumors, or family members. Either in the name of a sect, or in the name of a deep space fleet-no matter what the name is, the essence is the same. It is a monopoly group large enough to swallow the entire world, a powerful, chaebol, and oligarch.
”Since it is a highly concentrated monopolistic oligarch, it is natural to formulate various rules that are beneficial to itself at will, so that all resources are'reasonably and legally' poured into their own blood basin. This is'the bigger the bigger, the stronger weighs the stronger'. The reason is that rising stars with no background are simply unable to compete with these oligarchs.
”To give the simplest example, it seems that it is absolutely fair and everyone has the opportunity to contribute points.
”The system of calculating contribution points based on military exploits and redeeming them for cultivation resources and even military ranks, official positions and status seems to be fair and reasonable, right?
”But no matter how fair and reasonable the system seems, it must be implemented by specific people. If the cultivators who are responsible for implementing the contribution point system are all deep-rooted oligarchs, dignitaries, and wealthy backgrounds, how could it be possible to cultivate immortals from poor backgrounds? Who treats them equally?
”Under the contribution point system, the assessment of the difficulty of the task is entirely the responsibility of the various organizations such as the ”Committee of Merit in the World”. Needless to say, these organizations are controlled by the oligarchs and nobles. They can completely help their families. The children of, customize some tasks with extremely low difficulty but extremely high contribution points, and notify their children to claim them as soon as possible before they are released online, so that they can be justified and let their children get a lot of contributions without risk Click it, right?
”What's more, when encountering some extremely difficult tasks, they will deliberately attract a large number of immortal cultivators who have no background to carry out. When the immortal cultivators suffer heavy casualties and the mission objective is weakened, the difficulty of the task will be reduced. If it is too high, you need to temporarily increase manpower as a reason to let your own children join in, and come to the final'residual blood to make up for the knife, harvest the head'. Naturally, your own children will be able to easily get a lot of contribution points.
”So, even under the seemingly fair contribution point system, if you are from a wealthy family and a powerful child from a thousand-year-old immortal cultivation family, you will find some low difficulty, high contribution points, or very demanding conditions for receiving from time to time, and you will save it for you. You can complete the customized tasks effortlessly and easily, thereby earning a lot of contribution points, which can be used to exchange the country's large amount of training resources.
”But if you have nothing to do with, have no background, and work alone alone, you will find that most of the tasks are extremely difficult, and the contribution after completion The point is very low, or there is an unexpected risk. In the end, others will step on your **** head to get a lot of benefits.
”Occasionally, you may also find some tasks that seem to be extremely cost-effective on the open task platform.
”But these quests are either instantly received by a powerful child you don't know, or there are some additional harsh requirements, such as the eleventh realm during the refining period, and the five-star control skills at the Greedy Wolf Crystal Armor training camp. Only certified immortal cultivators can receive it. Needless to say, this is a task specially designed for a certain immortal second generation. You can see, eat, stare, and have no temper.
”You said, under such an ‘absolutely fair contribution point system’, how can the poor cultivators fight against the wealthy cultivators?”
Li Yao sighed and said, ”In this way, the bottom cultivators are really painful.”
”Of course it is painful. There are 10,000 ways to get you out of the circle of ‘dividing the cake’, but you can’t say a word.”
