Is Chapter 369 finished?
Upon hearing this, Sister Shan looked somewhat worried. "Madam, wouldn't we be in great danger? Almost every wealthy person I know is pursuing immortality, and those people also hold high social status and have a say in certain matters and policies. If they are all replaced by mechs, and the mechs give orders to do bad things, we won't even know. Even if we do know, ordinary people have no power to fight back."
Yu Ru opened her eyes, stopped blind typing, and typed: "Yes, the situation is already very serious, but what's even more dangerous is that our country is far too peaceful compared to other countries. Everyone is still living in a utopia where they think it's a peaceful era. The people are completely unaware of this danger. Instead, under the influence of cultural infiltration, they have lost their ability to think independently and are extremely worshipful of foreign things. Currently, they have already conquered several major areas such as food, education, and culture. Although our country is small, its strength should not be underestimated. Their medical technology is far ahead of the world, and the various weapons they have invented that cause serious injury are extremely dangerous. The most terrifying thing is their ability to subvert people's hearts and minds. It's hard to guard against a traitor within your own ranks."
"Madam, does this mean war is imminent? If our people use that mecha to fight us, wouldn't we be in great danger? It can't be killed by guns, it can't be cut by knives, its arms can extend so far, and it can even generate electricity. It would take dozens of us working together to defeat just one of them."
Yu Ru stared at the keyboard for a moment, then typed: "That's possible, but every time our people make a move, someone from above always strikes hard at the crucial moment. So our people are currently watching closely, still observing, and won't start a fight so easily. Most importantly, our master is the Mystery Kingdom. Whether they fight or not depends on the Mystery Kingdom's opinion. With the Mystery Kingdom's support, they have more confidence. If we're going to fight, we'll attack the Mystery Kingdom first, after all, to catch the thief, you must first catch the king. Our people are smart and understand this principle. I think no matter how much our people provoke us, the possibility of a fight is relatively small. No matter which side wins, the other side will be severely damaged, and the biggest beneficiary will be the Mystery Kingdom, which would be a net loss."
"That's good." Sister Shan took a breath. "By the way, Madam, Miguo is our master, but what about those videos circulating online saying that there are many homeless people in Miguo now, and many people are doing drugs, and the country is going to be finished. Aren't we supposed to be afraid of power but not morality? Why are we still groveling to Miguo?"
Yu Ru smiled slightly and continued typing on the keyboard: "Sister Shan, you've found a blind spot. The fact that we're still groveling to the Mysterious Kingdom means that the Mysterious Kingdom isn't finished. If it were really finished, given our character, we would have already taken planes and cannons and invaded them directly. However, I don't study politics very much, so I'm not very clear about the deeper reasons, but I do know that the Mysterious Kingdom is still very active. They're the ones who caused many major events, and their energy is still very high."
"If we consider the political environment, my simplistic understanding is that although the United States has many homeless people and drug addicts, and people there say they can't afford vegetables and fruits, making it sound like their economic and social system is about to collapse, they are still the world's number one superpower. This is because they are a capitalist country, belonging to a plutocracy, with a few dominant players. Their economic lifeline is in the hands of a small group of people, and consumption is driven entirely by a small group of luxury consumers. Whether the United States collapses or not depends entirely on a small group of people."
"But our governance system here is socialism, where the people are the masters. If 60% of our people couldn't afford vegetables and there were homeless people all over the streets, we could really be finished, because our economy depends entirely on the contributions of ordinary people. Also, among all the people in the world, only we have the concept of national unity. If the Mi Kingdom were to collapse, their mainstream media wouldn't think about saving the country; they would probably go crazy reporting it to grab headlines and kick it while it's down. So far, I haven't seen any posts on that scale, so the Mi Kingdom isn't finished. Even if the Mi Kingdom were to collapse, our country would probably still pretend to be weak in front of them, and when we fight the Mi Kingdom and both sides are exhausted, they would take the opportunity to invade. This is a trick our people always use: when they are weak, they pretend to be humble and subservient, but in reality, they are full of evil intentions, just waiting to pick up the pieces."
"Oh." Sister Shan nodded in sudden realization. "Madam, now that you mention it, it's true!"
"Was that mecha transported back?" Yu Ru asked, changing the subject.
"Madam, it has been delivered and locked with a large iron chain."
Yu Ru nodded and then closed her eyes again.
Just then, her phone rang.
She took out her phone and glanced at it. The caller ID showed "Sister Ping," so she pressed speakerphone to answer.
"Madam, the food you ordered has arrived, and your medicine is ready. You can start eating now. Oh, by the way, Liu Bujing is back."
"Okay, you guys eat first, I'll eat later," Yu Ru replied simply.
……
Yu Ru finished shaving her head and putting on her hat before going to eat.
Because Liu Bujing had been sexually harassed by a man before, Yu Ru, considering he might have psychological trauma from men, arranged for him to have dinner with the women. At this moment, Liu Bujing and Sister Ping were already waiting at the table. They weren't eating; they were each playing on their phones. Liu Bujing's two pets were lying on the floor looking very bored.
Hearing the noise, the two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yu Ru arrive. They immediately stood up, and Ping Jie went around to the head seat and pulled out a chair.
Yu Ru raised her hand to gesture for them to sit down, and then sat down in the chair that Sister Ping had pulled out. Because of her throat injury, she couldn't speak loudly, so she wore a small megaphone around her neck, which she could use to amplify her voice at any time. After settling into her seat, she picked up the megaphone around her neck with her right hand, turned it on, and said to the three people in front of her, "Let's eat."
She spoke first, and then the others started eating.
Yu Ru opened her lunchbox and found it was once again a bland, colorless soup of noodles, porridge, stew, and a puree of various vegetables. As a lover of strong flavors, the bland food made her sigh inwardly. The food these past few days had been truly unpalatable. Because of her sore throat, all her food had been overcooked and mushy.
Yu Ru calmly picked up the spoon and began to slowly drink her porridge. After a couple of sips, she suddenly remembered something, put down the spoon, gently patted Ping Jie's arm, and gestured in sign language, "[How is Liu Bujing? Is she injured internally?]"
"Oh!" Pingjie glanced at Liu Bujing, put down her chopsticks and replied, "Madam, no. Ahong said Liu Bujing only suffered some minor injuries and malnutrition from not eating for a long time, but he's fine. His two pets are also fine; they were just hungry and will be alright after eating more."
Hearing that she was being talked about, Liu Bujing put down her chopsticks, looked up at Yu Ru, and said, "Boss, thank you. I'm fine. I don't feel any pain at all now."
Yu Ru nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and continued eating.
Pingjie said excitedly, "Madam, Shanjie, I didn't believe in good people being rewarded before, but now I do. It's so high up! Madam fell and she's completely fine, and Liu Bujing is also okay. It's not scientific at all. I saw on the news before that those who fell from buildings and those who caught people had fractures all over their bodies and faced the risk of paralysis."
Yu Ru smiled and gestured, "[Now I also believe that good people are rewarded.]"
In the instant she fell, besides the dumplings supporting her, Yu Ru also felt several hands supporting her for a moment. She was certain it wasn't her imagination. She didn't know what exactly supported her, but it was definitely something inhuman.
The video ends here.
