Qin Bin shook his head and said, "It's not double. Willpower itself is another expression of emotional energy. To be precise, it is directional belief, fear, joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, etc. The core is the point of 'directionality', and the emotions of living beings must also have 'directionality' in essence. After all, a living being that can be happy, angry, sad, or happy for no reason, in theory, does not exist.
In other words, the energy that people accumulate in us by paying attention to us is essentially the same as the energy that people emit when they are shocked, curious, panicked, or something like that.”
"That's a shame." Xiao Bai nodded in realization, "But it doesn't matter. I think if we just do what I said before, it will be enough for us to eat."
"You're right. There's really no need to do anything deliberately. Just follow our original rhythm."
"Yeah, but there is one thing I still want to mention."
"What?" Qin Bin looked over in confusion.
Xiao Bai said seriously, "Xiao Bin, it doesn't matter if you want to cause trouble, but you must not easily get involved with the myths of the Eternal Continent.
I don't know whether gods exist or not, and I have never had any reverence for them. However, as long as it is not proven that gods don't exist, we ordinary creatures living on the Eternal Continent will have to be careful in dealing with them.
The above is based on my cautiousness from reading Chinese fantasy online novels these days. "
Qin Bin rolled his eyes, "I knew it would be this."
“But it still needs attention, doesn’t it?”
"Indeed." Qin Bin restrained his expression. "All kinds of systems that subvert cognition have come one after another. If the Eternal Continent is like those fantasy online novels, hiding a bunch of life forms that claim to be gods, it's really not surprising."
Xiao Bai nodded and said, "So, being careful can save you a lot of time."
"Well, I understand." Qin Bin nodded and said, "Xiaobai, the Eternal Continent will proceed according to our original plan. What about Xiaomei? Do you have any ideas?"
"As for Xiaomei..." Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, "Xiaomei's reputation in the world of "Magic Index" is not small in itself, at least she is very famous in Academy City, and Xiaomei and you are directly related. In other words, as long as Xiaomei's reputation outside Academy City increases and becomes a topic of conversation for more people, you can also harvest emotional energy. And in Xiaomei's world, there are unreasonable existences like the 'Demon God', and many things are not suitable to be excessive... In this case... How about letting Xiaomei do some rap and dance and become an Internet celebrity on the Internet in her world?"
Qin Bin blinked and said, "It is possible, but given Xiaomei's personality, she will most likely not agree."
"She is your familiar." Xiaobai looked at Qin Bin with interest.
When Qin Bin saw Xiaobai like this, he knew that what Xiaobai really wanted to ask was the exact position of Misaka Mikoto in his heart.
After thinking for a while, Qin Bin said, "She is about the same age as my sister. To be honest, I don't want to 'persecute' her if it's not necessary. Of course, these days of getting along with each other also make it impossible for everyone to simply regard Xiaomei as a familiar."
"Since it is not appropriate to treat her as a true familiar, then... a friend or a concubine?"
"friend."
"Is that so... Then find some time to talk to her. It's okay if she doesn't want to do it. Anyway, you have plenty of resources at hand. You can choose a showy 'protagonist' in Xiaomei's world, give him a 'system', and let him do the work."
“Isn’t this the same as the main god space or chat group?” Qin Bin laughed.
"It doesn't matter which one you choose. All I want is for you not to develop it yourself. After all, your safety always comes first. Don't get carried away."
Xiaobai looked at Qin Bin seriously.
Qin Bin also looked at him and replied in a gentle voice, "Yes, I understand."
The two were looking at each other in a very pleasant atmosphere, and Lilina even wanted to disappear silently on the spot to give the two some space alone, but the door was suddenly opened.
"Abin, something big happened!"
But then Sofia rushed in.
Following them came in one after another: Leah, Lin, Zhang Xiaoyun and Kagalli.
"What's the matter?"
Qin Bin and others were certainly not surprised that the girls came together, because it was almost dusk and the school was over long ago.
Sophia said, "There are signs that the orcs are heading south in large numbers. According to the news from Liya's family, the 17 main armies guarding the southern border are all ready to move, and they are all ready to launch an all-out attack."
"Seventeen main legions..." Qin Bin paused for a moment, and couldn't help smacking his lips. "I remember that the main legion of the orcs was a mixed formation of 60,000 to 80,000 infantry and cavalry. Even if we take the lowest number, it is a veritable million-strong army... Are the orcs going to fight a full-scale war with Kana?"
Although Qin Bin had no idea about war, he had read many books on military affairs in this world and knew some information about organization.
Leah on the side said, "That should be the case. Otherwise, according to the practice in previous years, the scale of the orc invasion after autumn is only three to five thousand air and land cavalry at most."
"Is that so..." Qin Bin frowned and looked at Liya, "...Liya, you want to go back to Garcia?"
Rest today ~ Please forgive me ~
———————————————————————————————————————————————————— ———————————————————————————————————————————————————— —————
Chapter 184: Although unexpected, it is reasonable
Facing everyone's gaze, Liya still looked emotionless and said calmly, "I am in the Holy Land now. There is no point in going back."
"That's right. The Holy Land cannot get involved in conventional wars. Under normal circumstances, there is really no point in you going back." Qin Bin nodded slightly.
The holy land of the Eternal Continent and the practitioners above the holy land are not allowed to get involved in the war. Although this is just a tacit understanding, the binding force is no less than that of explicit regulations.
Of course, Qin Bin also learned from the old dean that the core reason why this tacit understanding has such a strong binding force is that the strong people in the divine realm do not allow it.
The reason why the strong men in the Divine Realm do not allow it is that, in the final analysis, most of them are old monsters who survived the last era. The almost genocidal destruction in the last era was caused by the strong men's unlimited involvement in the war, which eventually led to the destruction of a magic civilization that was more brilliant and glorious than the present one, and even nearly the end of the world.
Therefore, after entering the new era, the powerful men in the Divine Realm of the Eternal Continent who had learned their lessons, after some discussion, all withdrew from the stage of history, hid in the city or the wilderness and forests, and became formal monks seeking the truth.
By the way, out of guilt, or perhaps because they did not want to see the civilization that had been rebuilt with great difficulty repeat the same mistakes, a tacit understanding gradually formed that the divine realm would not be revealed to the world, while restraining the holy realm from doing anything wrong.
Seeing that Qin Bin was still frowning, Liya continued, "Bin, Kana's overall military strength is not inferior to that of the orcs, and its economy is far stronger than that of the orcs. If the Holy Domain does not come out and the Divine Domain is not revealed, the orcs will not be able to gain an advantage on the front battlefield. The war situation will definitely be a tug of war around the northern border of Kana. In theory, it will not have much impact on us who are in the heart of Kana."
Qin Bin looked at Liya, his frown loosened, and he said, "I have more or less the same opinion on this point. Well, I am not worried about my life being affected, but I am too unfamiliar with war, so I have no psychological threshold to face it. For a moment, I don't know what mentality I should use to face it."
After hearing what Qin Bin said, everyone suddenly understood.
And Leah said, "Well...if that's the case, I don't know how to comfort you. I can only say that you've seen it a lot and you've gotten used to it, so there's no problem."
"There's no need for any consolation."
Qin Bin smiled and shook his head.
To be honest, Qin Bin didn't know what to say. It was mainly because this group of women, or to be more precise, the three girls, Leah, Sophia and Lin, cared for him to an outrageous degree.
Although there were reasons for it, it was really a bit too much. Cagalli, who was unaware of the situation, couldn't help but look surprised after Leah said this.
Of course, Qin Bin didn't care what others thought of him, nor did he dislike this kind of care that was almost doting, so he smiled and continued speaking.
"Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about this. Although I am not suitable to do anything openly at the moment, as Garcia's son-in-law, I can still provide Garcia with some supplies in private to show my gratitude... How about this, the best magic recovery potion and healing potion in the imperial capital, 10,000 bottles each, Leah, you can send them back to Garcia through the Chamber of Commerce tonight."
"Yeah." Leah's response was brief, but her face was filled with a smile.
"that..."
At this moment, Cagalli, who had suppressed her surprised expression, suddenly raised her hand and said.
"Acting Dean, magic potions are strategic materials in Cana. The amount that can be circulated on the market is very small. Even if you go to the black market, it is difficult to get tens of thousands in the imperial capital in a short period of time. Even thousands are difficult. However, I do know a potion master who seems to have some special ways to get them... uh..."
As she spoke, Cagalli couldn't help sweating on her face, because everyone was looking at her, making her feel a huge pressure in an instant.
Fortunately, Kagali saw the satisfaction in the expressions of Leah and others, which made Kagali feel a little relieved.
And soon Qin Bin was heard speaking in a gentle voice.
"Relax, actively helping your boss is something that deserves praise. I appreciate your kindness, but we have connections here, so I won't bother you."
"Is that so..." Cagalli smiled 'silly' and continued to play the background obediently.
At this time, everyone turned their gaze away from Cagalli and looked at Qin Bin.
Xiao Bai said, "Xiao Bin, I am more concerned about whether this sudden war will affect the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Kana."
Qin Bin thought for a moment, "Unless the war quickly spreads to the heart of Kana, it is highly unlikely to have any impact. Besides, there is too little information, and it is still unknown whether a war will really break out. There is no point in thinking about it."
"That's right." Xiaobai and others nodded in agreement.
After that, Qin Bin and others did not talk any more about the possible outbreak of war.
Just like what Qin Bin said, there is too little information at the moment and any further discussion is meaningless.
Next, in fact, the conflict between Kana and the Orc Empire has never stopped. In fact, a full-scale war broke out between Kana and the Orcs more than 60 years ago.
At that time, the two sides fought back and forth for nearly ten years, but in the end neither side could defeat the other and their respective countries were on the verge of collapse, so they had no choice but to sign a formal ceasefire agreement.
Since then, the two sides have been quiet for a long time, and then frictions gradually arose again, but both sides still maintained restraint, basically maintaining a state of no major wars but constant small-scale conflicts until now.
After so many years of recuperation, it is not surprising that the orcs once again take the initiative to provoke an all-out war.
The fundamental reason why Sofia was so shocked before was that this kind of thing did not exist in their "future", which was why it seemed unexpected.
The group stayed in the office until dark. After Cagalli finished her first day of secretarial work and left, Qin Bin and others went to the old dean's house.
While enjoying dinner at the old dean's house, Qin Bin also mentioned that the orcs were suspected of launching a full-scale war against Kana.
The old dean didn't take it too seriously. He thought that just knowing about it was enough.
It is normal for the old dean to have such a reaction. The old dean is a real old monster who has lived from the last era to the present. He has seen and even experienced countless wars.
After leaving the old dean's house, Qin Bin and his party returned to Xiang Baihe Villa.
Before we sat down, someone from the Mysterious House arrived.
The person who came was none other than Yan Mond herself.
Yan Mond did not come alone this time, but brought with her a detailed plan for the construction of the five major cities in Qinling, as well as several professionals in urban planning, infrastructure construction and other fields.
In the living room of Xiang Baili Villa, the professionals brought by Yan Mond spread out dozens of multi-angle renderings of the five main cities in Qinling, and combined with detailed engineering plan drawings, they carefully described the construction plan and the final results for Qin Bin and others.
Chapter 185: News from Yan Mond
In order to give Qin Bin and other "clients" a more intuitive view, these professionals not only made detailed multi-angle renderings, but also made five scaled-down city model sand tables. The level of sophistication and realism was so lifelike that Qin Bin and others were amazed.
Naturally, after Qin Bin, Xiao Bai and others took a closer look, they all expressed their satisfaction and decided on the spot to implement the current plan.
Qin Bin and others were satisfied, and Yan Mond was of course also very happy. She also followed Qin Bin's wishes and drafted a formal contract as soon as possible, and once it was signed the next day or the day after tomorrow, they would officially start work.
Without going into details about the formal procedures, not long after Qin Bin and others made the decision, Yan Mond let those professionals go first, while she stayed.
After those professionals left, Yan Mond took out a large brocade box.
Needless to say, it contains one hundred divine-level storage beads that are already filled with magic power.
After seeing the brocade box, Qin Bin was also slightly surprised, "Yan, your efficiency is quite scary."
Yan Monde, who was sitting on the sofa opposite Qin Bin, smiled and said, "It's not bad. After all, all the cultivators of our clan who are above level seven have taken turns to fight. It can be said that we are racing against time and are unwilling to stop for a moment."
"I understand. It's my hometown." Qin Bin nodded slightly and said, "Do you mind asking about the progress?"
Yan Mond said, "Why would I mind? Well, now we are almost one-tenth clean. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to officially return to our hometown within this year."
"I see. If you have enough manpower, I have some extra space here and can provide some more purification beads and storage beads."
Yan Mond's eyes lit up, "We still have a lot of manpower, what we lack is the purification and storage of artifacts. I won't say much about gratitude, Bin, please!"
"That's what friends should do."
Qin Bin smiled and nodded, then he directly materialized ten purification spirit beads and five hundred divine-level storage spirit beads.
For Qin Bin now, this scale of consumption is still affordable.
Next, in Qin Bin's opinion, this consumption, or investment, will be recovered in a short time.
Because the official population of the Mond clan in Kana is about six million, the actual number can only be more, not less.
How much motivation can be generated if a population of this size is grateful to him?
Qin Bin was really looking forward to it.
Faced with Qin Bin's directness and frankness, Yan Mond smiled back but did not say any words of thanks.
She will always remember this kindness.
After receiving the spirit pearl, Yan Monde said, "Bin, do you know anything about the orcs' eagerness to make a move?"
Qin Bin nodded, "I heard about it during the day."
Of course, Yan Mond would not be surprised, after all, Garcia's "Princess" was watching her.
All she said was, "The branch of the Mysterious House in the Orcs has sent back a special message."
Yan Mond's words cheered up Qin Bin and others.
Yan Monde added, "After Beast King Grous Howler came out of the Temple of Victory half a month ago, he seemed like a different person. He had been trying his best to avoid a full-scale conflict with Kana, but suddenly he alienated the moderates in the country and joined forces with the radicals. He even started to suppress the moderates, causing the radicals to have the final say in the court of the Orc Empire in a short period of time, and eventually the current situation emerged."
