Human Brain Farm

Zeng Ciwen, as one of the one hundred scientist representatives from Earth, finally arrived in this world.

Yet their identity, is unrelated to Immortal Herb, merely another layer of identity—ordinary residents without any special status—born into this world.... How could Zhu Zhengwei possibly allow Immortal Herb to come to this Magnetic Civilization?

It would certainly cause a tidal wave.

Zhu Zhengwei intends for the Yang Side world to remain undisclosed for as long as possible!

The existence of Immortal Herb will undoubtedly become a top-secret, and Red Moon, the only world aware of Immortal Herb, as a product of the unripe response from the Dark Side world, Zhu Zhengwei has long prepared to silence and eliminate this world...

At this moment.

Zeng Ciwen's consciousness was already forming.

"It seems I've descended, haven't I? I wonder where the others are living? Is there a chance to gather, and by then, how many will survive?"

He constantly pondered, quickly detecting abnormalities.

"Wait, what's up with this world? I didn't go through the ten-month gestation stage? It's like some sort of rapid birth happened?"

He fell into confusion but soon faced his own birth.

"This child is really ugly."

"So thin and ugly."

"Looks like us." Father said.

"No, looks like me! Father isn't you. It's clearly my achievement; it's because of my genes that it's so ugly." Mother's voice was filled with pride.

"Our child, his life will definitely be very challenging."

..

In the pristine hospital room, a nurse stood by, surrounded by an extremely handsome and beautiful group of parents, holding up an ugly baby—a picture of harmony.

Zeng Ciwen never imagined that upon birth, he would face such an absurd conversation!

This world...

What kind of societal structure does this Magnetic Civilization have?

Is ugliness regarded as beauty?

With this thought in mind, Zeng Ciwen began observing the world.

Soon, several years passed.

He discovered they were in a highly advanced virtual world—the Magnetic Cosmos, while the reality outside was within a gigantic spaceship, constantly navigating through the starry sea.

Because humans will fall into a "speed of light trap," able only to sail between stars, unable to reach the next planet outside the solar system, thus initiating the "Lower City Plan," researching space jump technology.

The area he resides in houses the hopes of the entire civilization—Lower City.

His parents, can be called young and talented.

After struggling through their careers, they owned a company worth thirty million and reached the peak of life.

However, during childhood interactions, Zeng Ciwen severely doubted his parents' intelligence—could they truly operate a company and reach the peak of life?

"These two carefree parents aren't the type to start a company. The reason they could start a company isn't due to their business vision but due to their encounters with benefactors, meeting business talents, who helped them develop the company."

"But, are my parents truly that fortunate?"

He began harboring some doubts about the Magnetic Cosmos.

And with constant probing and exploration, this doubt gradually expanded!

Eventually, he fully perceived the terrifying social mechanism of the "Magnetic Civilization," and this perfect Utopian Paradise.

The core is:

[NPC Mechanism]

Yes, this "Primordial Realm," according to his speculations, only about two percent of its vast land and 30 billion population are real magnetic civilization humans, with 98% being NPCs.

This highly developed Magnetic World has long operated with data-driven mechanical AI, being full-fledged in various aspects, whether in reality with mechanical Magnetic Energy Warriors or the Magnetic Cosmos, AI is pervasive.

"With this explanation, everything makes sense."

"Because 98% are NPCs, my parents are real people. Their entire life seems like a game, as they live and work in society, 'luck' and 'opportunity' constantly come, allowing them to completely reach the peak of life!"

"They are the destined protagonists of this world, yet they are unaware that most of the people they meet are not real."

"Even if they don't work hard and procrastinate, in this extremely kind and human rights conscious sci-fi society, they have guaranteed welfare, like relief funds, preventing humans from falling into abject poverty, occasionally receiving assistance from benefactor NPCs, who provide occasional opportunities, whether in stock trading or entrepreneurship, which, though not leading to outrageous wealth... at least ensures a baseline life."

Thus, his parents' circumstances can be understood!

As ordinary people, they have average intelligence, and with effort, they can enjoy a 'protagonist's life,' although their achievements are generally average, owning a small company, which ranks them in the middle in this society.

After all, even with cheat-like advantages, it can't be overly generous.

Excessively lavish welfare life would lead humans to lose goals, lose the will to live,

At this moment, Zeng Ciwen smiled slightly, saying:

"Indeed, it is a perfect social mechanism."

"They clearly have the power of perfect genes to transform themselves into perfect races, obtaining supreme rights in the virtual world! Becoming gods of the virtual world, allowing each of their citizens to experience the entirety of virtual life, whether becoming emperors, wine ponds, meat forests... or becoming cosmic deities, sweeping through planet after planet..."

"Yet they did not do so! Because such citizens would only become addicted in the 'virtual world,' hating reality, leading to mass suicide out of boredom."

Virtual addiction is a terrifying phenomenon.

Just like on Earth now, even some video games have already captivated people, let alone the indistinguishable virtual worlds before us?

If not curbed, this mental poison will destroy the vitality of this civilization.

"Thus, they won't let you be invincible, making life identical to reality, being born with ugliness, disabilities, poverty, poor family background, instilling the motivation to strive... and when you strive, corresponding rewards will follow."

Hard work yields rewards.

This is actually a rather enjoyable treatment.

Just like being the protagonist of a game, attending school, working, having beauties inexplicably fall in love with you, benefactors favoring you for no reason, getting promotions and raises, succeeding in your career... giving you great satisfaction!

And such a goal-oriented and striving life is the most perfect, constantly prompting you to work hard and strive, just like his parents, it can be considered as the perfect mechanism for social progress!

Soon, Zeng Ciwen, back on Earth, reported the information he acquired.

Thus, countless people began discussing.

"Whoa, what a terrifying Magnetic Civilization."

"They live in a virtual where anything can be created, yet aren't self-indulgent and wasteful, immersing in that unbeatable spiritual virtual poison, focusing instead on reality!"

"Indeed, it's a civilization sailing through the stars, shortly about to invade our Earth's world!"

"If it were me in that world, how enjoyable would it be, as long as I work hard, I can reach the peak of life... not like in reality, being a programmer, working tirelessly at 996 coding, just to buy BMWs for the boss."

"Wow, Magnetic Civilization is amazing! Their fairness, human rights systems, and social welfare mechanisms are worth learning from. I want to pledge allegiance and become your citizen! Come to Earth quickly, eradicate human tyranny; Earth belongs to Magnetic Civilization!"

"Capture a traitor to Earth up there."

"Phooey, phooey, phooey! Do you think if they come here, we can secure their citizenship and human rights? Ridiculous! We'd only be treated as slaves, used for research."

People kept discussing, many envying with jealousy and hatred.

Zhu Zhengwei chuckled, sitting in his dorm chair, watching the discussions of Earth's humans, "Just like this... just like this... young miners must constantly think, continually discuss, so that when they sleep at night, their subconscious can mine on my behalf, excavating world maps for one Dream World after another."

The more they chat, the more my world can develop.
