CHAPTER 308: CHAPTER 194: THREATS WITHIN 1,000 YEARS_2

"Hey, that’s not bad." Sun Yan gulped down a mouthful, "I used to worry that if I died in battle, how sad they’d be. But now, sadness is certain, though how long it lasts is debatable. And those five little ones—my old mother keeps saying they’re much more sensible than I was as a child. Damn, I didn’t have gene optimization technology back then."

Chen Feng smiled.

He didn’t respond.

In fact, he also gained a sister and a brother. Not only did his parents look younger, but even their mindset became youthful; they truly have a whole new life.

Moreover, Sun Yan wasn’t wrong.

After staying at home for a while, his biggest feeling was "dying without regrets."

Indeed, even if he dies in the upcoming tasks, there would be no regrets.

His parents and family still have a bright future, and he, too, would have a glorious end.

This even made him somewhat impatient to carry out the next task.

"Old Chen, we’ve been back for half a month now, right? Why haven’t they called us back to the team?" Sun Yan was already somewhat tipsy.

In fact, for them, if they don’t want to get drunk, it’s impossible to be drunk—but this is their vacation time.

"You want to leave too?" Chen Feng laughed.

"Of course, I always feel like I’m redundant here." Sun Yan laughed heartily.

"This era, this civilization, is worth giving everything for," Chen Feng said.

This was the biggest feeling he’d had these days.

It’s not that this era has no flaws.

He had indeed seen many flaws these days.

For example, some people excessively pursue contribution scores, even to the point of sacrificing everything. Another example is the strict control over people—despite material abundance, people are not allowed to indulge in pleasure.

Even entertainment and games have contribution score requirements.

This has caused quite a bit of discontent among people.

Conflicts still exist within the society.

However, from Chen Feng’s perspective, having been asleep for ten years, these conflicts aren’t a big deal compared to ten years ago.

Many troubles from the past now hardly count as troubles.

Even marriage is the same.

With big data matching and ample time, people can mostly achieve sufficient happiness.

Just then, messages suddenly popped up on the personal screens of Chen Feng and Sun Yan.

They exchanged glances.

Both could sense each other’s anticipation.

The task has arrived!

...

Meanwhile, Shen Shi was also at home, reading related reports.

"What reactions do those elite warriors have towards the current world?" Ai Xin’Er also came over to Shen Shi’s side.

"The reactions are quite positive." Shen Shi smiled.

"Then doesn’t that make you feel relieved?" Ai Xin’Er also smiled.

"Indeed." Shen Shi sighed, "The changes over the past ten years have been enormous. People immersed in it may not feel it, but these sleepers waking up have a direct sense. According to this summary report, over ninety percent of the warriors have deepened their love for human civilization. This is one of the greatest recognitions of our efforts over the past decade."

"That’s as expected." Ai Xin’Er had a matter-of-fact demeanor.

"Exactly." Shen Shi chuckled softly but quickly restrained his smile, "Next, we should proceed to the other civilizations."

"I wonder if we count as invaders." Ai Xin’Er sighed lightly.

"Do you know what the other side of the dark interstellar society represents?" Shen Shi looked at her and asked.

"What does it represent?" Ai Xin’Er indeed grew curious.

"It represents ’competing for the worst.’" Shen Shi uttered these few words.

Ai Xin’Er wasn’t entirely familiar with the Future World yet, but Shen Shi saw it clearly.

The ’subordinate race’ system in the Future World is practically an open exploitation of other civilizations.

Yet, those exploited civilizations each feel grateful instead.

The reason is simple.

Because the intensity of human civilization’s exploitation is more lenient than that of other C-level civilizations.

That’s why Shen Shi said the whole Mude System is a society of "competing for the worst" in the interstellar context.

Invasion?

Of course, it counts as invasion.

But to those civilizations, being invaded by human civilization turns out to be a better outcome.

This isn’t Shen Shi boasting, but rather a comparison with the future reality.

Of course, he doesn’t deny its criminality either. When one cannot protect themselves, their own interests become the highest mission.

"Have you chosen the first destination?" Ai Xin’Er asked, "The first destination is crucial, as it sets a vital example for those that follow."

"Naturally." Shen Shi nodded.

He had been busy with this matter all this time.

But before truly departing, they needed to handle the people at the Daike Base first.

Those aliens had been asleep here for ten years, and now humans have the ability to dominate them.

Meanwhile, some areas also require them to accumulate experience.

...

Another ten days passed.

One hundred thousand warriors gathered at the Daike Base.

These one hundred thousand are currently the most powerful in primordial energy strength within human civilization, the majority of whom have undergone ten years of nonstop primordial energy training.

The top ones in primordial energy proficiency have even surpassed the Daike Base’s leader, "Didike."

Among the billions of aliens, these are considered strong.

Plus, with Shen Shi providing each person with their personal primordial energy weapon, even the weakest person possesses strength surpassing "Didike."

So there’s no worry about any oversight.

At this moment, Shen Shi stood in front of them.

"I’ve seen many familiar faces, and I’m sure you’re familiar with me too, so I won’t say any more unnecessary words. Your task ahead is to oversee these alien labor forces," Shen Shi directly said.

Then directly assigned the tasks.

He really didn’t say a single unnecessary word.

Yet, the people below still felt a surge of emotion.

Before the Worren War, they’d always feared humans being dominated by aliens, but now, it’s their turn to dominate aliens!

Chen Feng was just as excited.

Because the task his team received involved the Daike People!

Other teams couldn’t help but radiate jealousy towards him.

Those are the Daike People!

The Human Federation has always propagated that the greatest threat humanity faces in the next thousand years is these Daike People.

And the Daike People would absolutely not spare humanity either; they’d never allow a new C-level civilization to emerge under their jurisdiction.

But now, humans are the victors of the first encounter!

"Commander Chen Feng, please collect the captives you’re responsible for." Following instructions, Chen Feng arrived at the front of the prison, watching as one Daike person after another walked out with dull eyes.

There were tens of thousands of them.

All the Daike people from two bases combined.

This number is just a drop in the ocean for the Daike Civilization, but Chen Feng knew well that these people represented a form of courage and honor.

They clearly tell all humanity that the Daike People aren’t worth fearing.

Chen Feng’s gaze turned to both sides.

There was a group of children, a group of human children.

All of whom were over ten years old, meaning they were the first generation of humans born after the Starry Era began, and also outstanding individuals among them.

Therefore, they were selected to "observe."

Initially, Chen Feng felt these children were too young and wondered if it was suitable—he hadn’t yet moved past the impression of children from the Earth Star Era.

But now, looking at these children silent, serious, and upright, he understood the reason for this setup.

–Blood will.

This is fundamental for a civilization to survive in the Starry Era.

"Others are ’labor,’ only these Daike People are ’captives’," Chen Feng suddenly spoke, looking at the new generation of children, "Do you understand the difference there?"

"It means the Daike People are our enemies," a child quickly raised his hand and replied. He looked at the Daike People without a trace of fear in his eyes. "We have neither sympathy, forgiveness, fear, nor belittlement towards the Daike People."
