Chapter 502 The Cost of the Ring System
Xue Lude held his breath and dared not speak. Oh well, let it be. Let him treat him as the protagonist of the transmigration story.
However, seeing the state of this person who was essentially his counterpart, Xue Lude scratched his head, wondering if he had never expected to have this side to himself.
Why did she suddenly decide to get married?
Xue Lude was once again filled with doubt about himself. Looking at Doctor Xue, he felt as if he were looking in a mirror, able to see his true thoughts reflected in him.
The great sage once said that he had calculated his future. If he had not come into contact with any extraordinary beings, he would have joined Doctors Without Borders after graduating from Boston University and would have died while treating students in war-torn regions.
This calculation is based on Schrödinger's Law and is generally accepted. If one has never encountered any supernatural beings and met Doctors Without Borders during their time at Boston University, this outcome is quite possible.
However, Doctor Xue did not join Doctors Without Borders. He only wanted to solve the crisis of the Divine Tree, but after the crisis was resolved, he seemed to have become a man who only wanted a peaceful life with his wife, children, and a warm bed.
Although he mingled with those Greeks, it was only to earn money and live a good life.
Previously, earning funding meant working like a slave for medical complexes, but now we can obtain funding through our own company—why not?
If I really killed all the apostles, would I become one of them?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" This parallel world version of himself looked very puzzled.
"It's nothing. I just never expected that I would become a Japanese person in the future. I thought you would be thinking about how to liberate the poor in America, or continue to try to join Doctors Without Borders," Xue Dinglu said casually.
Doctor Xue fell silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, I once thought about joining Doctors Without Borders..."
Xue Law: "..."
"But later, after confirming my relationship with the little bird, I gave up. I knew that even if I saved more people, I still couldn't change anything. Doctors Without Borders were the same. Although they are great, risking their lives to enter war zones blocked by the Yutau people in order to save others, they couldn't do anything..."
"As a doctor, I can't change anything. No matter how many people we save, what medicine can't save is this chasm-like international community..."
Doctor Xue's words silenced Xue Law.
"Forget it, let's not try to establish a government on this alien planet. Our abilities are just so-so, and our understanding of politics is catastrophically poor. We're only suited to be heroes, not politicians," Doctor Xue said, quickly changing the subject.
Xue's Law cannot refute this statement: political beings cannot possess morality and benevolence; everything must be considered for political and economic reasons.
Therefore, when Xue Dinglu read the news and saw some politicians claiming to "love the people like their own children," he would always scoff at them.
Imagine a city is infected with a deadly plague, and the problem cannot be solved in a short time. What should you do?
Politicians will only choose to abandon this city.
But Xue Dinglu knew he couldn't make that choice, so he wasn't a qualified political creature, much less suited to be a leader or politician. He lacked the decisiveness and ruthlessness, and even more so, the viciousness and decisiveness.
Ultimately, I still have a bit of a "nagging" streak, always wanting to do my best. Therefore, my political ability is just at the level of an average college student, and a very poor one at that.
After no longer thinking about establishing a government with his other self, Xue Dinglu came to the Royal Magic Academy.
“When I first transmigrated, I met your three students,” Doctor Xue said. “They brought me back here, and I settled in and began studying the magic rings and spells you left behind.”
“However, I didn’t use your identity; instead, I said I was your brother named Schrödinger,” Doctor Xue said.
Xue Law: "..."
Dude, can't you at least have some class when it comes to naming things? You just use this "Cat Maniac" name like that. Aren't you afraid of running into trouble someday?
Xue Daolu really felt like he wanted to complain, but the words stuck in his throat, and he stopped talking.
Soon, Xue Law found Ronald and Yun Xing arguing heatedly in his former laboratory.
These two, who are already married, are now arguing like teenagers, their faces flushed red. They have a rather rosy aura about them. If it weren't for the fact that the location doesn't allow it, Xue Dinglu would even feel that the two of them would transform into giant beasts and start a solo fight.
The winner becomes the principal, the loser...
"What's wrong? Are you arguing again?" Xue Dinglu's voice rang out.
The two children didn't seem surprised at all, and didn't even look over. Instead, they argued like two bickering roosters, saying, "It's nothing, Uncle-Master, we're just discussing family matters..."
Ronald stubbornly insisted, but something felt off. The next moment, he turned around and saw not only Doctor Xue, but also Xue Law, who was smiling at the moment.
"Teacher!" In an instant, the two children stopped arguing, and their faces immediately showed visible joy.
"Alright, what's going on?" Xue Dinglu blurted out, "I came here and saw you two arguing. You're about to be fathers, yet you're acting like two little kids..."
Xue Dinglu gave each of them a flick on the forehead. The two kids got married about half a year ago, and if nothing unexpected happened, their wives should both be pregnant. Why are they still so impulsive and lack the composure of someone about to become a father?
However, after Xue finished speaking, the two children fell silent for a moment, and then a low-pressure atmosphere descended upon them.
"What's wrong?" Xue Dinglu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"I'm sorry, teacher, we may never have children in this lifetime..." Ronald said, with a bitter face, and vigorously rubbed his hair.
Xue Law: “?”
No, huh? Hasn't your wife's poor health been resolved yet?
Xue Luding was very puzzled, but Yun Xing quickly explained, "It's like this, teacher, those who have cultivated the Dharma Ring and reached the stage where they can transform into giant beasts have essentially developed reproductive isolation from others..."
Yun Xing sighed: "In essence, we are less like humans and more like giant beasts. Only those who possess the same magic ring can co-create offspring..."
"So we were just arguing about whether to continue promoting the Ring of Law technology. I'm willing to continue promoting it; once everyone has a Ring of Law, the problem will be solved. But Ronald disagrees..."
"Because the absorption of the Dharma Ring still carries a certain degree of danger..."
The two fell silent. The scene of their heated argument just moments before now resembled two defeated roosters, both hanging their heads.
Xue Law: “?”
Oh, does the French Ring really have this side effect?
Although this thing was developed by Xue's Law, he really didn't expect it to have such a side effect.
The Magic Ring was a quick-learning magic system created merely to deal with the calamity of the giant beasts. Its essence was to devour the spiritual particles of the giant beasts and then empower oneself.
Essentially, you can think of someone with a spell ring as a magic-based shapeshifting druid, except that this druid can only shapeshift into a fixed behemoth form. This spell ring system essentially uproots the behemoth; as long as the spell ring system exists, the behemoth will never be able to rise again.
Of course, this was only to deal with the situation at the time, when humanity was on the verge of extinction by the super beasts, and this system was the best choice for that situation.
But things are different now...
On the planet Behemoth, humans and behemoths are now living in semi-peaceful coexistence. As long as humans do not attack first, the behemoths will not attack either, and will even stay far away.
At the same time, the behemoths are no longer the bio-engineered monsters affected by the super iron curtain, but the true original species after being pacified by the world's consciousness.
In this era, the legal system is no longer very applicable...
Furthermore, the magic ring has many problems, but its advantage is that it is quick to acquire. As long as a person absorbs the magic ring, he can have legendary strength within a few days. And as long as he masters the ability to transform, he can instantly reach mythical level, or even near-5th rank power.
This ability to learn quickly is something that no other system can match.
However, there is always a price to pay for quick success. The safety of the magic ring is not very high. There is a certain degree of danger when absorbing the magic ring, and there is also a certain degree of danger every time you transform into a giant beast.
At the same time, the near-5th order is already the limit of the magic ring, and it is a limit that can never be broken in a lifetime.
However, this last one is not particularly serious. Generally speaking, if one does not come into contact with authority, the limit for a normal creature is the quasi-5th rank. No matter how talented one is, it is impossible to become a true 5th rank unless one obtains authority and becomes an existence similar to a world guardian, which is equivalent to merging with the world's consciousness.
Or perhaps, they could seize other powers and become an apostle...
Therefore, in other civilizations, there is no distinction between legends and myths... there is only a clear dividing line between gods and humans, which is the 5th rank, and a near-5th rank is a demigod...
Of course, on a planetary scale, a 5th order is indeed considered a god; Zeus and ordinary apostles with lower orders are at this level.
But on a cosmic scale, perhaps only those conceptualized evil gods at the edge of subspace can be called "gods" by Schrödinger's law.
After all, those things have become products of concepts, devoid of any humanity or reason; everything they do is solely for their own conceptual purposes.
We've gotten a bit off-topic. Now, Xue's Law also knows about the costs of another legal ring system. Back then, he really didn't test whether this thing could affect fertility...
So this is the price of quick success...
Based on this, Ronald and Yunxing may be unable to have children with ordinary humans, and can only reproduce with people who also possess magic rings, or with giant beasts.
Yes, they are estimated to be able to reproduce with giant beasts, but they cannot reproduce with ordinary people...
Upon inspection, it was indeed confirmed that, after the end of the Dharma Ring system, although your thoughts and consciousness are still human, you are essentially a humanoid behemoth, and you are not even reproductively isolated from other beast-like behemoths.
Xue Law: "..."
If that's really the case, then Xue's Law has dug a huge hole for the world. It's impossible for a "Little Dragon Girl" who can transform into a human form to appear among giant beasts, right?
He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, after all, he had created this system himself, and he hadn't considered so many things when he created it.
After all, humanity was on the verge of extinction at the time, and no one could refuse the quick power that came at a cost.
Xue Lu thought that perhaps if people had known the price back then, countless others would have flocked to join the Law Ring system. After all, under the high-pressure environment at the time, power was everything, and whether or not one had offspring was not something that could be considered at the time.
But things are different now...
Xue's Law is not a god. It's normal that the legal ring system he came up with on a whim has various flaws, since there are many things he couldn't even imagine.
The point of contention between the two children was whether or not to continue promoting the French Ring Road...
Yunxing is a radical. He has always believed that power is only power if it is in one's own hands. He believes that the magic ring is necessary and that everyone should have a magic ring so that humanity can continue to reproduce.
But Ronald disagreed. He argued that if a nationwide legal system would result in the deaths of a large number of people, he would disagree. He even argued that if a nationwide legal system were to be implemented, wouldn't humanity be essentially extinct?
For example, his wife, who has been frail and sickly since childhood, is the kind of person who absolutely cannot absorb magic rings; it would definitely cause problems.
Even the implementation of the "Everyone's Law" will have a significant impact and cause disasters on public security and society.
It would plunge the world into a barbaric era.
So Ronald thought that since the Loop system ended in his generation, they could see if they could develop another system to control or tame giant beasts.
That's why the two of them were arguing.
Xue Law: "..."
Hiss, as expected, one generation can only solve the problems of its own generation. When Xue's Law created the Law of Law, he never imagined that this problem would occur.
The two men's ideas are simply the different ideas of conservatives and radicals. Xue's Law doesn't know who is right and who is wrong; perhaps both sides have parts that are right and parts that are wrong.
Although Yunxing's views were radical, he actually considered more issues. People who possess the magic ring cannot have offspring, but they also possess extremely strong power, which would make them a very unstable group.
It could even lead to an irreconcilable racial conflict between those who own the ring and ordinary people.
Ronald's views are conservative, but more humane.
Simply put, one is considering things rationally, and the other is considering them emotionally.
But for him now, perhaps that's no longer a problem.
You have to fill in the holes you dug when you were young...
Xue Dinglu smiled and interrupted the two children's argument, saying, "Alright, now that the teacher knows about this problem, I will help you solve it."
"Actually, you should have contacted me about this a long time ago. It's a problem you can't solve, but for your teacher..." Xue Dinglu smiled, pointing to himself, "It's nothing! You should trust your teacher more. Don't worry, your teacher is omnipotent." (End of Chapter)
