Chapter 71: Kiana: Future People Are Too Good at Playing
"It's been quite peaceful recently. Cocolia ran off because of work, saying she had to go deal with some orphanage matters first. I think she's quite the orphan herself. I didn't expect her to specifically find a group of orphans. She's really too much of an orphan."
Bronya's eyes were spinning as she tried to understand what Noldrei meant by "orphan."
"I don't know what's going on with Tesla either. With her brain, she should have realized that the problem with her body can't be solved under her moral ethics. She can only come to me, the culprit."
'You actually know you're the culprit?'
Siegfried was impressed that Noldrei actually had self-awareness. He felt that the heavens had finally opened their eyes.
"The construction of the city has made the surrounding area smoky and dirty. I want to move to a different place temporarily. This place gives me a really bad feeling."
Noldrei was already tired of staying here. He looked at his ministers, thinking about where to snatch a good place for them to live.
"Then let's go to my house. I've heard from my father. The place where I live should be able to return to normal. It's been a while since I cleaned it, so I can take the opportunity to clean it up properly."
Raiden Mei was talking about the two villas in her house. Raiden Ryoma was still with Anti-Entropy and hadn't come over yet. He was still dealing with some loose ends on the surface with Cocolia.
She had also seen her father make a normal appearance on the news.
It was indeed a good thing that her father had been exonerated, but the fact that her father also knew about her being modified made Raiden Mei feel a little gloomy.
"I remember your house is on the other side of the city. It hasn't been destroyed by Tesla's railgun yet. Then let's temporarily move to your place. It's also a good thing since there's no good place for you to eat because of the surrounding people's relocation."
Noldrei personally didn't need to eat anything. Whether it was garbage or nuclear wastewater, he could absorb it into his body.
But these people couldn't. Even Kiana hadn't given up on food as a tool for enjoyment. She had even preserved eating as an important task.
Unlike Noldrei, a future person who had abandoned things like eating, sleeping, and bathing, Kiana hadn't changed much in terms of her living needs, except for adapting her lifestyle to her new body.
So Noldrei had to wait for everyone to wake up for a third of his day.
This sometimes made him consider whether he also needed to sleep like these people.
"Mei, what are we going to do when we move to your place? We can't just eat, drink, and have fun every day, right?"
Kiana was an idealist. She was no longer satisfied with just eating, drinking, and having fun. As someone who had obtained a new body, she didn't need to worry about her figure or danger. All that was left was...
To do whatever she wanted!
Sirin had recently had a fight with her. It seemed that she thought it was too inhumane to use Honkai beasts for experiments.
The current Kiana was a little depressed. She had never seen a Honkai beast with any intelligence.
She also had a strange cube hidden in her stomach. She didn't know what was sealed inside.
Kiana couldn't find anything she wanted to do, so she wondered if she could continue her original work of eliminating the Honkai. After all, it was a tradition passed down from her ancestors.
"That's right. Eating, drinking, and having fun every day is too enjoyable. We'll become useless if we continue like this."
Bronya rarely expressed support for Kiana's ideas, but she felt that the point she was supporting was a bit off.
"Bronya, aren't you usually the one who plays the most games?"
Raiden Mei thought that Bronya liked this kind of life.
"Even the most fun games will cause a rebellious feeling if you play them every day. You'll always want to make your own game. It's like, 'They're doing it so badly. I can do it better.'"
Even Bronya had become arrogant about making games.
"Hahaha, the game you make will definitely flop!" Kiana immediately cursed Bronya. She laughed as if she had already foreseen that future.
Bronya's face turned pale. She immediately felt that she had been looked down upon.
She vowed that she would definitely become an excellent game producer in the future and show this foolish heir what's what!
Noldrei was very bored. He asked, "What's so fun about those games? Since you're researching games, why not directly make games with full-dive technology? I see that the books here all want that technology."
Hearing Noldrei's words, Raiden Mei asked curiously, "How do future people use full-dive technology?"
"You mean that? Of course, it's for controlling humanoid creatures. As long as you control them well, you can train cats and dogs to the level of eleven or twelve-year-old children and then keep them at home as pets and servants. It's a bit like the house elves in Harry Potter. Yes, that's it, the house elves."
Noldrei carefully recalled that there was indeed a period in history when humans used these things to develop animal brains.
"What? What did you say?" Siegfried suspected that he had misheard.
"It's about using technology to train cats and dogs to the level of eleven or twelve-year-olds and then playing with them as pets. At that time, it seems like every household had similar pets. Later, it seems that they were collectively rebelled or collectively murdered the children in the house, and then the future people dealt with them centrally."
Noldrei said it calmly, but the three girls had never experienced this kind of shock.
If future humans really had advanced gene technology, then they could indeed further develop the thinking abilities of animals.
"Wait, doesn't that mean that future people were mass-eliminating eleven and twelve-year-old children?"
Kiana suddenly realized what kind of immoral things future people had done.
These people were just randomly creating things with gene technology.
Noldrei waved his hand and said, "It wasn't as cruel as everyone thinks. They just directly cut off the production equipment they used for training. Even if cats and dogs had the thinking abilities of eleven or twelve-year-olds, they weren't given any literacy training. They were basically illiterate. After the trouble broke out, those cats and dogs were no longer trained. They ended their lives in their twenties with their normal lifespan. The trouble was all solved in a few years."
Bronya was immediately enraged and said, "Future people are too beastly!"
"So, are you still planning to develop that full-dive game?" Noldrei asked, bringing up his idea from earlier, seeing how agitated she was.
But Bronya, who had been righteously indignant just now, hesitated.
The idea of developing a game was too irresistible for her.
"Anyway, it was the future people who did it. What does it have to do with me developing a game?" Kiana secretly made a tentacle behind Bronya, mimicking her voice.
Raiden Mei slapped Kiana on the head and said, "Don't just add inner monologues to other people."
"Wait! How did future people know that full-dive could develop animal brains?"
Bronya asked the part she was most curious about.
"That thing was first developed by wealthy and powerful people for early childhood education for their children."
Noldrei's answer left everyone speechless. How did every sci-fi technology in the future end up being used by humans to harm themselves first?
'You future problems are too numerous. How did civilization continue to exist for 130,000 years? Did something give you a cheat code?'
Siegfried was starting to have doubts. How had humanity not destroyed itself in the future?
Noldrei hadn't finished speaking. For example, although cat and dog pets were no longer trained, new gene humans like cat girls and dog girls were created.
