Oh no, I have become a character in the card pool?

Chapter 40: Civilization changes silently
Moving towards the city from the ruined wilderness.

The ride is not a vehicle with wheels, but a device that can float on various terrains.

The technology comes from a broken time and space with a high-tech background, [Intelligent Machinery Country] - a world full of intelligent machines, where constantly evolving machines and humans are in a long struggle.

Now, a century later.

Even though humans have not yet been able to replicate the technology of that world.

However, with the guidance of Qi Ling who has relevant background, it is still possible to iterate the underlying technology.

Just like what Lin Xuan once said in the communicator.

The broken time and space is a corrosive beast to human civilization, and the weight of its fall will crush the weak world.

But on the other hand.
Each of those once prosperous civilizations was just one step away from reaching the summit.

Just like "one whale falls, all things come to life" in the deep sea, even if we can only learn some techniques from those time and space, we can still build a tower by gathering them together.

Every fragment contains countless treasures.

On the way to Lin Night Market.

The long road, passing through one checkpoint after another, is like watching the withered weeds gradually come back to life.

First, there were more and more markets, and then people were seen yawning and going out in the dark, shouting, "It's so early in the morning, why is this breakfast shop not open yet?"

Next came more and more residential houses.

Like thriving trees, from one or two scattered seedlings, they gradually grew into a civilized forest.

Step by step.

After spending several days and traveling hundreds of miles, the surroundings finally no longer had the quiet wasteland atmosphere.

——They finally entered the outskirts of Lin Night Market.

The lights of the shops, the city, and the traffic.

Big screens on tall buildings and bustling crowds on the pedestrian street.

The cities interwoven together made Lin Xuan feel as if he had not yet traveled through time and was still that little anchor on the Internet.

"Is this the current human settlement area?" The boy looked out of the car window.

I saw young boys and girls wearing uniforms similar to school uniforms, but they were not from the Spirit Contract Envoy Academy. They were crossing the street while chatting and laughing.

They pushed and jokingly shoved each other.

And those sounds came through the car windows.

"Shit, that pendant on your backpack, could it be the hidden edition of 'Mountain Thunder Style: Nine-branched Pine Xuanyi' from the new 'Swordsman of the Demon Slayer' series blind box released last month?"

"That was a national-level contract spirit that was once recorded in history books as "one man and one sword, controlling the thunder and slashing the demon mountain." "

"Is this true? I bought 20 boxes and still couldn't get one. How come you are so lucky!?"

"Hey, I bought it online with full payment. You never expected that, did you? This is the power of money, kid."

"Tsk, damn you rich dog, we should end our friendship!"

"Oh, really? What a pity! I also won the 'Hisasa Yuuko - Blue Form Limited Edition' poster from the 'Magical Girl' series blind box, but I'm not interested in them."

"It seems that this discount can only be given to the students in the next class."

"Brother! My dear brother! There were many people outside just now, and my voice was a little loud. I will kneel down for you now--"

Such conversation was mixed with laughter.

Loud and peaceful.

Looking at the interaction between the teenagers and the youthful atmosphere, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile.

I thought to myself, "This era is developing better than I thought."

If he hadn't just experienced a bloody battle, witnessed the ghosts in an entire fallen city, and seen the bloody scenes.

If he were to travel directly to this city, he would surely be unable to help but sigh - what a peaceful and good era this is.

Because I know there is something wrong with his summoning program.

These days, Mu Yuqing gave him a lot of reading materials in order to help him integrate into modern society in advance.

So Lin Xuan understood.

Ever since civilization entered the [Broken Age] and a large number of newborn spirit masters appeared.

These heroes from other worlds have been integrated into human society at a very fast speed under the propaganda of various policies and the fact that social security has been protected by many front-line filming highlights.

And became a symbol of peace.

By now, even the youngest children can recite the names and titles of the top contract spirits in their own war zones.

From having several skills;
What kind of brilliant performances were performed in which battles?
And holding a branch and pretending it is the unique weapon of the spirit, excitedly shouting out the name of the opponent's special move, etc.

They are just like a group of idol fans.

It can be said that things have come to this point.

The human civilization and the existence of the spirits in this world have truly merged into one, and are indistinguishable from each other.

".It's breathtaking." After a brief moment of silence, Lin Xuan looked at the bustling and noisy city outside the car.

He smiled with emotion, "Is this the power of a world repairing itself?"

Although I have only just touched the surface.

But combined with the documents he had read previously at the garrison base, plus his memories of the plot.

From Lin Xuan's perspective, he has already read the depth of this social phenomenon.

That hidden long-term vision.

He murmured in admiration: "It turned out that this method was used to resolve the rift that I was worried about in the beginning."

"Amazing! There are always talented people in every generation."

Lin Xuan can say this with certainty.

The first person who thought of turning the Contract Spirit into an idol may seem ridiculous and lack seriousness, but that person's vision must be groundbreaking.

Even such praise cannot describe the man's greatness.

A century ago, that was the most painful era for human civilization.

Because of the initial defeat and disappearance of the Spirit Contract Envoy, it was like an indestructible sword was broken in the middle, and all the spirit squeezed out of the entire battle era was lost.

Defeat has come to shattered war zones around the world.

Even though there has never been an official announcement.

But everyone knows that the high-spirited, golden era of war is over.

What followed was the "Broken Age" in which people kept losing their homelands and cities, and were eroded by the broken time and space.

In that era, there were people who collapsed because their beliefs were shattered and they learned that the war could not be won and that their entire lives had been in vain.

They were courting their own death, and the losses they caused were no less than those who died on the front lines due to the collapse of the line.

——And a large number of new "Spirit Contract Envoys" were born in this context.

The appearance of these newborns has indeed given a boost to some people who have not given up their resistance.
Even if the original spirit master died, at least they got their weapons again, right?
However, in the context of such a series of setbacks.

The desperate, the surrendering, and those who no longer have hope that human civilization can triumph.

They would sneer: "A new contracted spirit can appear and be contracted? Will this be useful?"

"Even those legendary 'Original Contract Spirits' have failed. How can we win the war with these other Contract Spirits who are far inferior to us?"

Even more.

Those who harbor hatred and anger because their loved ones were killed, they equally hate everything related to the broken time and space, and even further fan the flames.

It is said that these contracted spirits also come from the [Broken Time and Space], and they are the natives who invaded the world.

Who knows which world they will choose to help after being summoned in large numbers, or whether they will become time bombs that lead the way?
Those people said that Qi Ling should not be trusted.

They are born with the blood of original sin.

Even though this was only a small number of people, in that turbulent era, human society, which was in urgent need of recuperation, could not withstand any risks.

What's more, at that time, the Qi Ling Envoy and the Qi Ling had not yet established complete trust, and these remarks would become a thorn in each other's hearts.

This thorn is not big.

However, it is difficult to completely eradicate it from the perspective of the entire society, and it will cause endless troubles.

——Until the generation that took over the leadership of the Human Alliance used their own influence to promote the "Spirit Contract Promotion Act."
