Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 259 and 257 are done, now I'll lose points.

Xuan Youzi usually dotes on Xuan Qingzi, but because of her innate personality, when Xuan Qingzi makes certain mistakes, she will also become a strict educator and correct the other party's mistakes.

Normally, Xuan Qingzi would surrender immediately and start to whine and apologize.

But today, she was a little different from usual.

However, she did not resist, but simply turned her face away, as if she was sulking with Xuan Youzi.

Xuan Youzi didn't dwell on it. Seeing her junior sister like this, she sighed softly and then looked at the scene before her.

"This place..."

“This place looks a lot like a place I used to live in,” Wang Wu said first, looking at the place in the picture.

If it weren't for the clear text visible on the roadside in the footage, he might have actually thought this was his hometown.

Because these two places are just too similar.

"Is that so?" Xuan Youzi didn't seem surprised. "So, what is this place like in your eyes?"

“I think this might not be a place that everyone sees differently,” Wang Wu replied. “It might genuinely be like this.”

Then, Wang Wu asked, "And you? What did you see?"

He continued, "Very tall buildings, gleaming walls? And those oddly shaped streetlights, and white paint paintings on the ground?"

“Pretty much.” Xuan Youzi nodded. “Then it seems this place really does look like this.”

"Besides, I've seen this kind of building before, and I know this kind of highway. You don't need to use this kind of description."

"Testing you? I can say whatever I want, it's none of your business!" Wang Wu glared angrily at the other party, but Xuan Youzi was clearly unaffected by Wang Wu's anger.

"So hurry up, maybe we can still rescue some civilians from inside."

"Perhaps," Wang Wu said noncommittally, "but I think the chances are slim."

"We have to give it a try."

The crowd fell silent. Li Quan hadn't said a word from beginning to end because she wasn't like Xuan Youzi; she didn't really care about the lives of those common people.

All she cared about was her own achievements and how much she could gain from this mission.

However, there is a saying that "a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions." Even if Li Quan did not care about the lives of the people, she was indeed on her way to rescue them.

Oh right, it's not that she doesn't care at all, because how many people can survive and how many can be saved are all closely related to her final performance.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that people like her, who are indifferent to the lives of the lower classes, are the norm among cultivators. Although everyone does good deeds, and although many cultivators even accidentally lose their lives while doing missions.

But this is only because of the sect's rules. People die for wealth, birds die for food. They only go to save the common people because of the sect's mission, and they only work so hard because of the sect's rewards.

Because you can't afford not to work hard; if you don't work, there will be punishment, and it could be a punishment worse than death.

Cultivators are very selfish. Many cultivators are like this. They will do many things for their own benefit, things that ordinary people would never even think about.

Of course, there are many selfish cultivators, many selfless cultivators, and many cultivators who are in the middle.

After all, humans are very complex creatures.

The spaceship continued its journey through space and soon arrived at its destination: the edge of the star system. On the outermost port planet, Wang Wu and his crew received a warm welcome.

"Is this all the people left?"

In his office on the border planet, Wang Wu looked at the data provided by the local government and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"This, this, the Immortal Lord, is indeed only left..."

'poof'

The fat, big-eared official didn't even get to finish speaking before Wang Wu smashed his head.

He had disliked this guy ever since he came in, and now, seeing the data the other party had given him, he realized it was related to the merit points he could get later.

This instantly ignited his anger.

"Fuck your mother! The imperial court ordered you to rescue people, and instead of thinking about how to save the most people, you're all just using connections?! I'm going to kill you all!!"

Wang Wu roared angrily in his office, and then several beams of light shot out, instantly killing a large number of people, including the 'civilians' and the cultivators who helped with the evacuation.

"You bunch of useless trash! Useless trash!!"

Cultivators like Wang Wu, who are directly under the Qionglan Sect and were sent to rescue star systems, wield considerable power, so much so that they can arbitrarily control the life and death of local officials.

After all, everyone who can enter the Qionglan Sect is the most elite of the elite, the most outstanding group of people in a star system.

For the Qiongyuan civilization, population was the most important resource. And for the local officials of this civilization, the number of people they could rescue during a disaster determined their fate.

If there are too few, then it will be like now, with the monks coming to salvage the situation mercilessly purging us.

Of course, Wang Wu's behavior was a bit too much, so he was subdued by Xuan Youzi after only a few strikes.

"Stop messing around! Now is not the time to do this!!"

Xuan Youzi pressed Wang Wu to the ground and sternly advised him.

Although her tone was stern, she actually agreed with Wang Wu's actions at that moment.

In fact, Wang Wu got along well with her in many ways, although in some people's eyes he was the kind of bad person who regarded human life as worthless, and killing was as normal to him as eating and drinking.

In fact, he really is that kind of person.

However, it must be said that, at least most of the time, Xuan Youzi actually approved of Wang Wu's indiscriminate killing and his seemingly ruthless nature.

Because some problems really can only be solved this way.

"Gather manpower first and send them into the disaster area to rescue people!" Xuan Youzi said while pressing down Wang Wu. "There's no point in killing them here. Those people have already been rescued. In any case, let's keep them here for now."

Wang Wu's commotion didn't kill many people, probably only tens of thousands, mostly ordinary civilians, with a few hundred cultivators as well.

Compared to the two hundred million refugees on this planet, it's just a drop in the ocean.

"Damn it, so few people, how many merit points? We're afraid we'll lose them when we get back!"

The thought of the number of survivors in this place made Wang Wu's heart clench.
